The purpose of this study is to develope new dental color-space system. Twelve kinds of dental composites and one kind of dental porcelain were used in this study. Disk samples (15 mm in diameter, 4 mm in thickness) of used materials were made and sample's CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ value was measured by Spectrocolorimeter (MiniScan XE plus, Model 4000S, diffuse/$8^{\circ}$ viewing mode, 14.3 mm Port diameters, Hunter Lab USA) The range of measured color distribution was analyzed. All the data were applied in the form of T### which is expression unit in CNU Cons Dental Color Chart. The value of $L^*$ lies between 80.40 and 52.70. The value of $a^*$ are between 10.60 and 3.60 and $b^*$ are between 28.40 and 2.21. The average value of $L^*$ is 67.40, and median value is 67.30. The value of $a^*$ are 2.89 and 2.91 respectively. And for the $b^*$, 14.30 and 13.90 were obtained. The data were converted to T### that is the unit count system in CNU-Cons Dental Color Chart. The value of $L^*$ is converted in the first digit of the numbering system. Each unit is 2.0 measured values. The second digit is the value of $a^*$ and is converted new number by 1.0 measured value. For the third digit $b^*$ is replaced and it is 2.0 measured unit apart. T555 was set to the value of $L^*$ ranging from 66.0 to 68.0, value of $a^*$ ranging from 3 to 4 and $b^*$ value ranging from 14 to 16.

A Macroscopic combination of two or more distinct materials is commonly referred to as a "Composite Material", having been designed mechanically and chemically superior in function and characteristic than its individual constituent materials. Composite materials are used not only for aerospace and military, but also heavily used in boat/ship building and general composite industries which we are seeing increasingly more. Regardless of the various applications for composite materials, the industry is still limited and requires better fabrication technology and methodology in order to expand and grow. An example of this is that the majority of fabrication facilities nearby still use an antiquated wet lay-up process where fabrication still requires manual hand labor in a 3D environment impeding productivity of composite product design advancement. As an expert in the advanced composites field, I have developed fabrication skills with the use of machinery based on my past composite experience. In autumn 2011, the Korea government confirmed to fund my project. It is the development of a composite sanding machine. I began development of this semi-robotic prototype beginning in 2009. It has possibilities of replacing or augmenting the exhaustive and difficult jobs performed by human hands, such as sanding, grinding, blasting, and polishing in most often, very awkward conditions, and is also will boost productivity, improve surface quality, cut abrasive costs, eliminate vibration injuries, and protect workers from exposure to dust and airborne contamination. Ease of control and operation of the equipment in or outside of the sanding room is a key benefit to end-users. It will prove to be much more economical than normal robotics and minimize errors that commonly occur in factories. The key components and their technologies are a 360 degree rotational shoulder and a wrist that is controlled under PLC controller and joystick manual mode. Development on both of the key modules is complete and are now operational. The Korean government fund boosted my development and I expect to complete full scale development no later than 3rd quarter 2012. Even with the advantages of composite materials, there is still the need to repair or to maintain composite products with a higher level of technology. I have learned many composite repair skills on composite airframe since many composite fabrication skills including repair, requires training for non aerospace applications. The wind energy market is now requiring much larger blades in order to generate more electrical energy for wind farms. One single blade is commonly 50 meters or longer now. When a wind blade becomes damaged from external forces, on-site repair is required on the columns even under strong wind and freezing temperature conditions. In order to correctly obtain polymerization, the repair must be performed on the damaged area within a very limited time. The use of pre-impregnated glass fabric and heating silicone pad and a hot bonder acting precise heating control are surely required.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the reinforced effect between MGF treated silane coupling agents and rubber matrix under the configuration chemical bonds, also the effect of triazine thiol compounds. For this study, vulcanizates were prepared with fifteen different compounding formulas. Their vulcanization characteristics, physical properties were examined by means of the ODR(Oscillating Dist Rheometer), the tensile tester, the benzene swelling test. The results of this study obtained are as follows: 1. In the ODR test, the MA vulcanizate was the fastest one in terms of having reached to optimum cure time($t_{90}$) and, with the same formula, when MGF vulcanizates, the shortest optimum cure times has appeared. 2. The SA, SC vulcanizates were the best the other in the physical properties such as 100%modulus, 200%modulus, 300%modulus, tensile strength. The SB vulcanizate, with higher density of crosslinking than other vulcanizates. The vulcanizates, which were filled with MGF treated with silane coupling agents we were the higher density of crosslinking than vulcanizates filled with MGF only. 3. In aging properties, the silica vulcanizates appeared to be better than the other vulcanizates. The aging Properties of treated MGF vulcanizates were similar to the silica vulcanizates. The(CR+APS+silica) and(CR+APS+MCF) were easily crosslinked by exposure to the air, and the physical properties have been improved.

고무는 불량열전도체(不良熱傳導體)이며 두께가 두꺼우면 내부(內部)가 적정온도수준(適正溫度水準)에 이르기 전까지 가황시간(加黃時間)이 길어진다. 가황온도(加黃溫度)가 상승(上昇)할수록 가황물(加黃物)의 물성(物性)은 열화(劣化)되는 경향(傾向이) 있다. 천연(天然)고무든지 합성(合成)고무든지 간(間)에 과가황(過加黃)에 대(對)한 저항성(抵抗性)이 나쁘므로 특(特)히 고온가황(高溫加黃)에 대(對)해 민감(敏感)하다. 이것은 고온(高溫)에서 단시간(短時間) 가황(加黃)일수록 가속(加速)된다. 평탄가황배합물(平坦加黃配合物)의 경우에서 보더라도 내부(內部)가 적절(適切)히 가황(加黃)되기도 전(前)에 외부(外部)는 과가황(過加黃)이 되는 수가 있다. 근래(近來) 발간(發刊)된 문헌(文獻)에서도 이러한 내용(內容)이 잘 설명(說明)이 되어 있는데 다른 각도(角度)에서 고찰(考察)해 볼것 같으면 정체시간(停滯時間)이 비교적(比較的) 길지 않는 한(限) 가황시간(加黃時間)은 정체시간(停滯時間)과 sheet 가황시간(加黃時間)과의 합(合)이라고 말할 수 있겠다. 예(例)를 들어 설명(說明)하자면 $130^{\circ}C(266^{\circ}F)$에서 정체시간(停滯時間)이 10분(分)이고 sheet 가황시간(加黃時間)이 20분(分)인 제품(製品)은 이 온도(溫度)에서 30분간(分間) 가황(加黃)해야 된다는 것이다. 온도계수(溫度係數)를 2라고 가정(假定)할 경우 $140^{\circ}C(284^{\circ}F)$에서의 가황시간(加黃時間)은 $30\times\frac{1}{2}=15$분(分)이 아니라 $20\times\frac{1}{2}+10=20$분(分)이 된다. 크기가 큰 제품(製品)은 보통(普通) 다음에 있는 여러 방법(方法)들 가운데 한 가지 또는 여러가지를 조합(組合)하여 가황(加黃)시킨다. a) 크기가 작은 것에 대한 것 보다 낮은 온도(溫度)에서 가황(加黃)한다. b) 침투가황-제품(浸透加黃-製品)을 가압하(加壓下)에 두고서 외부가황(外部加黃)은 단속(斷續)시키고 열(熱)이 중심(中心)으로 침투(浸透)하게 한다. c) 단계가황(段階加黃)-처음에는 저온(低溫)에서 시작(始作)하여 일정간격(一定間隔)을 두고 점차(漸次) 온도(溫度)를 상승(上昇)시켜 최종적(最終的)으로 가황온도(加黃溫度)까지 올린다. d) 가능(可能)하다면 metal base나 금형(金型)에서 고무를 증기가황(蒸氣加黃)시킬 경우에 있어서 속이 빈 축(軸)을 사용하여 내부(內部)로 부터 가열(加熱)하면 가황시간(加黃時間)이 단축(短縮)된다. e) 냉각중(冷却中)의 후가황(後加黃)-이것은 가열장치(加熱裝置)에서 끄집어낸 후 제품(製品)의 외부(外部)를 냉각(冷却)시키는 방법(方法)이다. 가열(加熱)된 제품(製品)이 쌓여 있거나 적절(適切)하게 냉각(冷却)되지 않을 때 가황(加黃)이 추가적(追加的)으로 되거나 과가황(過加黃)이 될 우려가 있는 제조공정(製造工程)에서는 흔히들 이 방법(方法)을 무시(無視)하고 있다. 여기서 강조(强調)해 두어야 할 것은 항상 제품(製品)의 외부(外部)를 완전(完全)히 가황(加黃)시킬 필요(必要)는 없다는 것이다. 다공성(多孔性)이나 기포생성(氣泡生成)을 조장(助長)하는 불량가황상태(不良加黃狀態)와 표면(表面)에서의 과가황상태간(過加黃狀態間)의 균형(均衡)을 취(取)해 줘야 하는데 물론(勿論) 이때는 가황시간(加黃時間)을 단축(短縮)시켜야 한다는 경제적(經濟的)인 측면(側面)도 아울러 고려(考慮)해야 한다. 이것은 고무기술자(技術者)가 당면(當面)해야할 과제(課題)에 속(屬)하며 바람직 한것은 본장(本章)의 내용(內容)이 여러 상황하(狀況下)에서 당면(當面)한 문제(問題)에 대(對)해 어떻게 대처(對處)해 야 할지를 모르는 여러 기술자(技術者)들에게 도움이 되었으면 하는 것이다.
