Purpose: To study changes in coating and lens materials after chemically etched different polymer based glass lenses in short-term and ambient condition using hydrofluoric acid. Methods: Vinyl ester polymer (Lens A) and thiourethane polymer (Lens B), both dyed in gray 70%, were etched in hydrofluoric acid solution for 5, 10, or 15 min. The mechanical properties, degrees of damages in hard coating, anti-reflection coating, and other coatings, rates of refractive index and light transmission of both polymer types were evaluated. Results: Rates of refractive index of both lens types were not changed significantly after chemical etching. However, anti-reflection coatings and hard coatings were removed and lens surfaces were damaged. As a results, UV light transmission of lenses increased and mechanical properties decreased. Chemical etching notably changed various properties of thiourethane polymer materials. Conclusions: Depending on types of polymer materials, chemical reactions by hydrofluoric acid were dissimilar. Thus, various properties of les materials were altered differently.

The basic concept of functionally gradient materials (FGM) is to fabricate materials type having possibilities of applications in various fields by changing their intrinsic properties with continuous gradient. The present communication has reviewed the developments and applications of various FGMs designed for improved thermo-mechanical properties, in which the thermal protective and wear resistant materials are especially focused. Effects of thermo-mechanical properties and limits of FGMs designed for high temperature applications were mainly understood in terms of residual stress evolved from the design and fabrication. In addition, FGMs applied in structural parts were also introduced and discussed in terms of typical fabrication method for FGMs.

In this study, we have investigated mechanical properties and scratch resistance of polypropylene compounds by two types of masterbatch with different molecular weight of PP. Masterbatches were prepared with polypropylene(PP) and polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) by melt mixing. Mechanical properties and scratch behavior were examined with UTM and polarizing microscope. The morphology surface of grain pattern was investigated Color 3D Laser Scanning Microscope. Mechanical properties of two masterbatches containing PP compounds showed a little bit difference in accordance with amount of M/B. Scratch resistance was much improved by adding masterbatches used high-molecular weight PP. Scratch resistance was excellent when grain pattern of the surface is deep, large, round and irregular.

본 연구에서는 국산닥, 태국닥, 중국닥의 원료를 사용하여 펄핑, 표백, 고해, 초지, 건조의 방식을 변화시켜 총 3500 여장에 이르는 한지를 한지제조 전문가가 일정한 방법에 따라 제 조하였고 그 특정들을 조직적으로 검토하였다. 이러한 연구는 한지의 물성이 닥섬유의 처 리공정에 의해 어떻게 영향을 받는지 연구를 통계적으로 가능하게 하였다. 본 연구에서는 육재펄핑과 일광표백의 효과, 외발뜨기와 쌍발뜨기의 효과, 고해방식의 차이, 먹퍼집성에 대 해 결과들을 보이 고 있다. 육재 펄핑과 일광표백이 한지의 물성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 알아보기로 하였다. 현 재는 많은 한지 업자들이 육재펄핑보다는 가성소다 펄핑 (그림에서는 약품펄핑으로 표기), 일광표백보다는 차아염소산 나트륨 (그림에서는 약품표백으로 표기)을 사용하는 것이 보통 이다. 육재펄핑과 일광표백을 실시한 한지는 열단장, 인열강도, 내절도를 약품펄핑이나 약 품표백보다 높이는 효과가 있음을 알 수 있었다. 하지만 약품을 사용하는 경우 리그닌의 용출이 더 수윌하므로 백색도는 약품을 사용하는 경우가 더 유리하였다. 국산닥의 경우 육 재펄핑과 일광표백을 한 경우 먹퍼짐성이 약품사용 한지보다 크지 않음을 볼 수 있었다. 한국의 전통적인 외발뜨기 초지방식은 일본의 쌍발뜨기 방식에 비해 많은 물리적 우수성 을 보이고 있다. 외발뜨기가 쌍발뜨기에 비해 열단장, 신장율, 인열지수 및 내절도 모두가 우수함을 잘 보이고 있다. 섬유의 성질과 관련하여 전체적으로 조명해 보면, 열단장, 인열 지수는 국산닥이 가장 높으며, 내절도는 태국닥이 우수하였고, 중국닥의 경우 모두 매우 불 량함을 알 수 있다. 이것은 아마도 처리중에 과도한 표백을 실시하지 아니하였는가 하는 의구심을 들게한다. 열단장과 신장율 역시 국산닥이 우수하였다. 글씨를 쓸 때, 붓이 나가 는 정도를 마찰게수로 짐작해 보았다. 동 마찰계수와 정 마찰계수는 국산닥이 낮은 편이였 다. 마찰계수가 낮다는 사실은 한지의 표면이 더 매끄럽다고 표현될 수 있는데, 역시 국산닥 으로 제조한 한지가 붓이 나가는데 유리하지 않을까 하는 추측을 할 수 있다. 본 실험결과 는 한지 사용자들의 느낌과 상관관계를 얻어내어서 확인해야 할 것이다. 닥방망이로의 고해나 칼비터에 의한 고해나 큰 물성적으로 큰 차이를 보이지는 않고 있 었다. 단지 섬유의 차이가 고해방식의 차이보다 월등히 크다는 사실을 보이고 있다 이러한 점은 섬유장의 길이에서도 볼 수 있다. 칼비터가 섬유를 절단하기만 하고 닥방망이 고해가 섬유장의 변화를 일으키지 않는다면 틀림없이 평균 섬유장의 차이가 생길것이다.

A number of alternative cleaning solvents to CFC 113 which was identified as a ozone-depleting meterial were collected to measure their experimental physecal properties of density, surface tension, Refractive Index, boiling point, pH, viscosity, flash point, and soltbility. They might be classified as aqueous, simi-aqeous, alcohol ketone, and halogen cleaning solvents. The solubilities of abietic acid, a major component of flux used in PCB (Printed Circuit Board) of the electronic indystry, into the cleaning solvents including CFC 113 were determined for comparison. The assorted cleaning solvents have their own advantages and disadvantages. Therefore a end-user carefully needs to choose the best-fit cleaning solvent after the safety, stability, and economics as well as the effectiveness by physical properties of the alternative cleaning solvents are integratedly considered.

In rubbing process, process factors, the properties of alignment layer and the physical properties of rubbing cloth have acted as important variables. These factors affect the orientation properties of the alignment layer by rubbed extent that is determined by rubbing density and rubbing force. In this work, we studied the effects of rubbing cloths with different pile density and rigidity on rubbing density(length) and rubbing force. As the pile density and rigidity of rubbing cloths increased, the birefringence and the surface roughness of the rubbed alignment layers became bigger, but the characteristics of rubbing-effect had differed each other. The pile density of rubbing cloths which was related with the number of pile, affected the rubbing density(length). On the other hand, the pile rigidity of rubbing was closely related to rubbing force rather than the rubbing density(length).

Graphene oxide was synthesized from natural graphite, and its surface was modified using diisocyanatodicyclohexylmethane( $H_{12}MDI$). Isocyanate-graphene sheet(i-RGO) was obtained by reduction of surface modified GO. To select nanofiller having good dispersion with polyurethane, GO, i-RGO, natural graphite and thermal reduced graphite were analyzed, and then i-RGO was selected as a suitable nanofiller. PU/i-RGO nanocomposite was synthesized with various i-RGO contents to estimate effect of reinforcement on nanocomposite. Thermal stability, hardness, contact angle were increased with i-RGO contents due to i-RGO characteristic and crosslink bridge effect. But, tensile strength and elongation were decreased at i-RGO contents more than the 4 wt%. This phenomenon was interpreted by the excess formation of crosslink bridge.

Polymer-clay nanocomposites, a novel organic-inorganic hybrid, attract much attention from both scientific fields and engineering fields due to their balanced improvements in mechanical properties as well as diffusion behaviors, including flame-retarding and barrier properties, with small amounts of clay. Preparation of polymer-clay nanocomposites, summarized as a process for uniform dispersion of hydrophilic layered clays in hydrophobic polymer matrixes, includes several technologies and scientific phenomena, such as surface-modifications of clay layers, physical properties of clays in liquids and dried states, polymer synthesis, polymer rheology, behaviors of polymer solutions/or monomers in the confined geometry, mechanical properties of polymers and clays. To comprehend complicated physical/chemical phenomena involved in the fabrication of nanocomposites, we reviewed physical properties of clays, structures of clays in nanocomposites, characterization of nanocomposites, the relation between morphology and physical property of nanocomposites, surveyed recent research trends, and then suggested a few strategies or methods for fabrication of nanocomposites reflecting future research directions.

Recently, much attention has focused on the permanent deformation of roads in hot summer and cracks in cold winter, which are detrimental to safe driving. This leads to necessity of modification of asphalt to resist those deformation. In this study, a type of modified asphalt was prepared by addition of a photoinitiator which is activated by ultraviolet lay. The mechanical and rheololgical properties of photoinitiator-modified asphalt were examined using UTM and rheometer. Results showed that the modified asphalt was effected by ultraviolet and thus tensile strength and storage modulus increased, due to molecular attraction, with initiator content and irradiation dose. Thermal analysis showed less weight loss upon photoinitiator-modification and this indicated that the molecular attraction is the result of cross linking reaction between asphalt molecules induced by photoinitiator. According to long term ultraviolet curing test, properties of the photoinitiator-modified asphalt did not decrease or even increase for 20 years. This indicates that useful life of the asphalt could be extended by addition of photoinitiator.

Biodegradable polyurethane (PU)/clay nanocomposite films were prepared via extrusion compounding process followed by casting film process. Organically modified montmorillonite (denoted as C30B) with a large amount of hydroxyl groups on its surface was used for the formation of strong bonding with PU resin. From both XRD analysis and TEM observations, the intercalated and exfoliated structure, and dispersion state of silicate platelets in the compounded nanocomposite films were confirmed. In addition, the rheological and tensile properties, optical transparency, oxygen permeability of the prepared nanocomposites were investigated as a function of added nanoclay content, and moreover based on these results, the corelation between the morphology and the resulting properties of the nanocomposites could be presented. The inclusion of nanoclays at appropriate content resulted in remarkable improvement in the nanocomposite performance including tensile modulus, elongation, transparency, and oxygen barrier property, however at excess amount of nanoclays, reduction or very slight increase was observed due to poor dispersion. The biodegradability of the prepared nanocomposite film was evaluated by examining the deterioration in the barrier and tensile properties during degradation period under compost.
