In this study, the characteristics of HFIX insulated wire sheaths contaminated by pollutants were examined. KS C IEC 60811-1-3 standard was followed in performing the water-resistance wire tests. Pollutants were selected, and the specimens were exposed to the pollutants for a maximum duration of four weeks. The maximum tensile load and the elongation rate were measured each week. As the period of pollution exposure increased, the maximum tensile load of the specimens decreased by 6.22% and 6.52% at room temperature and high temperature, respectively, and 19.94% for specimens coated with a rust-proof lubricant. The elongation rate also decreased rapidly, such that the reductions in the properties of the sheath were significant. From the analysis of the surfaces using a scanning microscope, as the contamination period increased, structural changes such as perforation, split, and melting occurred, and the mechanical properties of the specimens decreased. Therefore, it is necessary to develop and follow an inspection cycle and periodically carry out repairs to prevent the deterioration of insulated wires.

할로겐 난연재료 및 고분자의 연소시 Dioxine의 문제점이 대두되고 있어 유럽국가를 중심으로 할로겐 난연제 사용을 규제하고 있다. 환경과 인체에 대한 안정성을 고려해서 저 유해 가스화, 저 발연화, 저 부식성, 리사이클링 등을 겸비한 제품의 개발로 관심이 모아지고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 환경친화적인 금속화합(수산화 알루미늄)을 사용하여 연소시 발생할 수 있는 난연성, 무독성, 소연성 등을 함량별로 확인하고 난연재가 증가할수록 취약한 기계적 물성 보완을 위해 moisture cure crosslikable 기술로 케이블절연 및 자켓 피복층 특성을 증가 시켰다. 그러나 수산화알루미늄 함량이 증가할수록 기계적 물성과 기타 특성도 감소하는 경향을 보이고 있어 최적의 난연제 조성함량이 약 130~150 phr정도에서 우수한 결과를 확인하였다. 또한 moisture cure agent는 전선압출 시 표면에 scorch 및 장기 압출에 영향을 주므로 약 1.5~2phr 범위에서 처방하는 것이 우수하다. 원료투입 후 mixing 공정 중에서는 온도관리가 매우 중요하므로 되도록 믹싱 온도를 $130^{\circ}C$ 이하를 유지해야한다. 온도는 수산화알루미늄의 분산성과 케이블 피복압출 시 표면에도 영향을 주기 때문이다 본 연구는 이런 작업방법을 통해 친환경 가교 난연콤파운드가 비(比) 가교된 제품에 비해 특성이 증가되는 것을 입증할 수 있었다.

After the installation of electric cables at block, PE(pre-erection) and hull stages, the coating stains on the electric cable sheath were unavoidably occurred by additional painting process. According to class rules paint or coating applied on the electric cables shall not adversely affect the mechanical, chemical of fire resistant characteristics of the electric cable sheath. However, there has not been quantitatively studied about the effect of coating stains on properties of sheath materials. In this study, we tried to investigate the effect of coating stains on the performance and deterioration of sheath materials by using FTIR, SEM analysis, flame retardant, high potential voltage and tensile test. The results sowed that coating stains, which were occurred during painting work on site could not adversely affect on the performance and deterioration of sheath materials.

A microfluidic system has been developed using biomaterial for the measurement of cupric ion concentration. The cell-membrane-mimicking bilayer lipid membrane(BLM)-coated silver electrode was used for the sensing of cupric ion concentration. The silver-supported BLM could increase its stability. A silver-supported bilayer lipid membrane(s-BLM) was easily obtained using its self-assembling characteristics by immersing silver wire into lipid(phosphatidylcholine; PC) solution and then dipping into aqueous KCl solution. These s-BLMs were used to determine the relationship between $Cu^{2+}$ concentration and current crossing s-BLM. Their relationship showed high linearity and reproducibility. The calibration curve was constructed to express the relationship between $Cu^{2+}$ concentration and current in the $Cu^{2+}$ concentration range of 10 and $130{\mu}M$. This calibration curve was used to measure $Cu^{2+}$ concentration in an unknown sample. Microfluidic system with s-BLM was made of PDMS(polydimethyl siloxane) using typical soft photolithography and molding technique. This integrated system has various functions such as activation of the silver surface without cutting silver wire, coating of BLM on silver surface, injection of KCl buffer solution, injection of $Cu^{2+}$ sample and measurement of $Cu^{2+}$ concentration in the sample.

Impurities removal from waste carbon black was carried out to produce high-grade carbon black. A large amount of hydrophilic carbon black is produced as a byproduct of the hydrogen production process by flame decomposition of water. Due to its impurities content such as sulphur, iron, ash, etc., it can only be used as low-grade carbon or burnt out. High-grade hydrophilic carbon black is 3~5 times more expensive than oil-based carbon black because of high production cost associated with process complexly and pollutant treatment. Hydrophilic carbon is normally used for conductive materials for batteries, pigment for plastics, electric wire covering, additives for rubber, etc. In these applications, impurity content must be blow 1 fe. In this study, magnetic separation, froth flotation and ultrasonic treatment were employed to remove impurities from the low-grade hydrophilic carbon black. Results showed that the ash, iron and sulphur content of product decreased to less than 0.01 wt.%, 0.01 wt.% and 0.3 wt % respectively and the surface area of product was about 930 $m^2$/g for conductive materials.
