This paper aims to study flow characteristics of epoxy resin w.r.t. the sizing agents treated on the carbon fibers which have the same surface morphologies before sizing treatment. Dynamic contact angle (DCA) was measured to evaluate wettability of a single carbon fiber. Wicking test and Vacuum Assisted Resin Transfer Molding (VARTM) were performed to find relation between DCA measurement results and impregnation characteristics. In addition, surface properties of the carbon fibers such as surface free energy and chemical compositions were measured and interfacial shear strength (IFSS) between the carbon fiber and the resin were experimentally characterized by using micro-droplet tests. According to these experimental results, the sizing agent for carbon fibers should have appropriate level of surface free energy and good chemical compatibility with the resin to reconcile resin flow characteristics and interfacial strength.

In this study, we investigated the formation of the metal oxide nanostructure by anodization of aluminum 3104H18 alloy. The anodization was performed in pyrophosphoric acid (H4P2O7) electrolyte. By the control of anodization condition such as concentration of electrolyte, anodization temperature and applied voltage, nanoporous or nanofiber structures were obtained. The optimal anodization condition to form nanofiber structures are 75 wt% of H4P2O7 at 30 V and 20℃. When anodization was performed at over 40 V, nanoporous structures were formed due to accelerated dissolution reaction rate of nanofiber structures or increasing thickness of channel wall.

This paper presents a study aimed at developing repair materials for emergency slope stabilization after disasters such as floods. The research assessed how different mix ratios of fly ash and reinforcement with basalt fibers affect the basic quality properties of mortars. Optimal amounts of fly ash were selected based on these properties, and appropriate amounts of chemical admixtures and thickeners were determined to enhance the quality attributed to the basalt fiber mixture. Notably, high-volume fly ash reduced the need for high-performance water reducers and improved workability, known benefits that also helped mitigate fiber ball issues in conjunction with the effects of thickeners. The experimental results indicated that the developed repair materials could potentially be used for emergency repairs, with a focus on initial age strength. This research aims to provide foundational data for repair materials used in future emergency slope stabilizations.

In order to improve the cell-compatability of poly(L-lactide-co-glycolide) (75 : 25 by mole ratio of lactide to glycolide, PLGA) surfaces, the physicochemical treatments have been demonstrated. Chemical treatments were 70% perchloric acid. 50% sulfuric acid and 0.5 N sodium hydroxide solution and physical methods were corona and plasma treatment. The water contact angle of surface treated PLGA decreased from 73$^{\circ}$ to 50~60$^{\circ}$, i.e., increased hydrophilicity, due to the introduction of oxygen-containing functional group onto PLGA backbone by the measurement of an electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis. It could be observed that the adhesion and growth of fibroblast cell on physicochemically treated PLGA surfaces, especially perchloric acid treated PLGA surface, were more active than on the controt. In conclusion, it seems that surface wettability as hydrophilicity of PLGA plays an important role in cell adhesion, spreading and growth.

The electrode material performances of electric double layer capacitor(EDLC) were investigated using mesopous active carbon fiber(ACF), which was prepared by the iron exchange method. The mesoporous ACF had pore characteristics of specific surface area around 1249, 664 $m^2$/g, mesoporous fraction around 70.6-81.3% and meanpore size around 2.78-4.14 nm. The results showed that as HNO3 treatment time decreased, the specific surface area increased and mesoporous fraction decreased. To investigate electrochemical performance of EDLC, unit cell was manufactured using mesoporus ACF, conducting material and binder; organic elctrolyte was used on this experiment. The specific capacitance of ACF treated with HNO3 for 2 hours turned out to be 0.47 $F/cm^2$and the results of the cyclic charge-discharge tests were stable. Thus, the electrochemical performance of EDLC was mainly dependent on specific surface area of ACF electrode and the diffusion resistance of charge decreased as the mesopore increased.

In the present study, mixed carbon-supported platinum(Pt) nanoparticles were prepared by a chemical reduction method of Pt precursor solution on two types of carbon materials such as activated carbons(ACs) and graphite nanofibers(GNFs). Average crystalline sizes and loading levels of Pt metal particles could be controlled by changing a content of GNFs. The highest electroactivity for methanol oxidation was obtained by preparing the carbon supports having 15 wt% GNFs. Furthermore, with an increase of GNFs content from 0% to 15%, an electrical conductivity was changed from $10^{-4}S/cm$ to $10^{-1}S/cm$. By an introduction of 10 wt% GNFs additive, the electroactivity of platinum particles was enhanced, but was saturated in the case of 15 wt% GNFs contents. This was related with the fact that the electroactivity change was dependent on the electrical conductivity of mixed carbon supports and Pt particle deposition content or deposition morphology.

In the manufacturing process of thermosetting carbon fiber composite materials using an autoclave, the internal temperature changes according to the set temperature cycle. This temperature change causes the resin in the composite material to cure. Heat is generated through the chemical reaction of the resin, which can result in a difference between the temperature inside the autoclave and the temperature of the composite material. Previous research assumed that the temperatures of the composite material and the autoclave were the same and analyzed to predict the residual stress and thermal deformation after manufacturing. However, these stresses and deformations depend on the temperature and degree of cure of the composite material. Therefore, this study verifies a thermal-chemical model analysis technique that takes into account the heat generated by the chemical reaction of the resin to accurately calculate the temperature and degree of cure. Additionally, case studies were conducted for different thicknesses to investigate whether this model exhibits similar trends across varying thicknesses.

We prepared sodium carbonate impregnated activated carbon fiber and evaluated its availability for hydrogen sulfide removal by the comparison with the counterpart, sodium carbonate granular impregnated activated carbon. The sodium carbonate impregnated concentration and immersion duration were chosen as two primary parameters. First, the hydrogen sulfide adsorption capacity increased in proportion to the impregnated concentration up to 3 wt%, above which the sodium carbonate impregnated amount rarely showed an increase due to the pore filling effect for both cases. The optimal impregnated concentration was thus set to 3 wt%. Meanwhile, impregnated activated carbon fiber required only half of the immersion duration compared with granular impregnated activated carbon, while showing a 30% increase on the hydrogen sulfide removal capacity. The greater specific area of impregnated activated carbon fiber explained it. In conclusion, we evaluated advantage of preparation time and improved hydrogen sulfide adsorption capacity by impregnate sodium carbonate, which is capable of reacting with hydrogen sulfide chemically, onto the activated carbon fiber with improved specific area.

Over the past decade, there have been significant advancement in the field of electrospinning area. This study has focused on preparing yarn using polycarbonate (PC) nanofibers including modified multi-walled carbon nanotube (mMWNT) by solution electrospinning process using the mixture of solvents consisting of tretrahydronfuran (THF) and N,N-dimethylformamide (DMF). In order to enhance the dispersion, MWNT was chemically modified. TEM analysis for the prepared PC/mMWNT nanofibers reveals that mMWNT was well-dispersed into the PC nanofiber matrix. Also with increasing contents of mMWNT, thermal stability of PC/mMWNT nanofibers was improved than that of PC nanofibers. Moreover when 3 to 5 wt% of mMWNT was added, the nanofibers showed good electrical properties expecting antistatic effect, ranging 109.1~109.5 ${\Omega}$. It was confirmed that the multi-filament fibers using PC/mMWNT had $60{\sim}100{\mu}m$ in diameter and 4~5 cm in length.
