The effects of the mixing of an active material and a conductive additive on the electrochemical performance of an electric double layer capacitor (EDLC) electrode were investigated. Coin-type EDLC cells with an organic electrolyte were fabricated using the electrode samples with different ball-milling times for the mixing of an active material and a conductive additive. The ball-milling time had a strong influence on the electrochemical performance of the EDLC electrode. The homogeneous mixing of the active material and the conductive additive by ball-milling was very important to obtain an efficient EDLC electrode. However, an EDLC electrode with an excessive ball-milling time displayed low electrical conductivity due to the characteristic change of a conductive additive, leading to poor electrochemical performance. The mixing of an active material and a conductive additive played a crucial role in determining the electrochemical performance of EDLC electrode. The optimal ball-milling time contributed to a homogeneous mixing of an active material and a conductive additive, leading to good electrochemical performance of the EDLC electrode.

Chemically and geometrically homogeneous mixing of Si3N4 powders with sintering additives(YAG, 3Y2O3$.$5Al2O3) was attempted via coprecipitation method. X-ray dot maps for the additive elements(Al and Y) showed that the additives are evenly distributed in the powder mixture prepared by coprecipitation method(CP). TEM observation of the coprecipittion-treated Si3N4 powders revealed that they are covered with extremely fine crystallites of additive. The shift in isoelectric point(IEP) of Si3N4 powders from pH 6.7 to pH 7.9 after coprecipitation mixing gave another evidence for coating of Si3N4 powders with YAG additives. SIMS analysis for composition on the surface and in the matrix of mixed powders showed that the YAG additives are highly enriched on the surface of coprecipitation-treated Si3N4 powders. Especially when a small amount of additive was used, the effect of homogeneous additive distribution on densification was preceptible: After pressureless-sintering of powder compacts containing 5 mol% YAG at 1800$^{\circ}C$ for 0.5h, a sintered density of 96.5% theoretical was obtained from the specimens prepared bycoprecipitation in comparison with 93.8% from the mechanically-mixed one.

With the recent increase in the demand for electric vehicles, it is necessary to identify the high current safety of automobile parts. Among the automobile parts, the EPDM parts required colored parts from the existing black; therefore, it was necessary to change the basic filler from carbon black to silica. The rubber used in automobile parts is flexible and exhibits basic characteristics of high strength and elongation. However, as the filler is changed to silica, its physical properties, such as tensile strength and elongation, are lower than those of the existing carbon black base. Therefore, it is necessary to evaluate the mechanical properties with the addition of the EPDM compound using silica as a base without degrading the physical properties of EPDM. In this study, an experiment based on the additive content was performed using the mixture experimental planning method to analyze the mechanical properties according to the additive type and mixing ratio of silica-based EPDM. The mixing ratio of the four additives was set using a simplex lattice design, and the tensile strength, elongation, modulus 300%, and permanent compression reduction rate were analyzed for mechanical characteristics, and rheometer experiments were performed for vulcanization characteristics. Through statistical analysis of the measured data, the main effects and interactions of the EPDM-blended rubber additives were analyzed. These results can be used to derive a mixing ratio of additives that satisfies the required characteristics of the EPDM compound.

The use of the coal ash for surcharge material, in a view of the environmental aspect, can decrease amount of the reclamation through recycling waste materials as well as prevent a destruction of the ecosystem attributed to sand picking. In addition, it can reduce both unit cost of material and construction expenses. In this study, new construction material as alternative surcharge material using coal ash, which is by-product from thermoelectric power plant, were developed. Mixing ratios of fly ash and bottom ash derived from the coal ash in Samchunpo thermoelectric power plants were determined. Furthermore, mixing conditions depending on the ratios of the cement and gypsum used for chemical additive were determined too. Uniaxial compression strength tests were conducted at different mixing conditions and Design graph of optimum mixing ratio at each required strength for economic efficiency is indicated in this paper.

The influence of additive materials including saw dust and cow manure in the ripening of leather sludge for the efficient vermisabilization was studied. The ripening characteristics of the leather sludge, the growth of earthworms in the growth bed and the by-products like cast were observed according to the mixing ratio of additive materials. When the mixed leather sludge of which the additive materials contents were over 20% were ripened for 50 days, the values of ORP and alkalinity were changed to the favorable ranges for earthworms, the positive (+) and below 1,000 mg/l as $CaCO_3$, respectively. The velocity of ripening improving the characteristics of the leather sludge was faster in the sludge mixed with cow manure than saw dust. This results could also be verified from the monitoring of the states of earthworm growth using the survival rate, the increase rate of lifeweight and the hatching rate of earthworm cocoon in the their growth bed packed with the ripened sludge. The values of CEC in cast, the vermi-stabilized sludge, were increased with the mixing ratio of additive materials, but the content of heavy metals was drcreased by the dilution effect and accumulation in the earthworm body. Above results show that the leather sludge might be efficiently stabilized by earthworms through the ripening for 50 days using additive materials. Cow manure can be used as a good additive materials for leather sludge as much as saw dust, and the optimum content of additive materials in the well-ripened leather sludge was about 30%.

The constructions of engineering structures such as airports, highways and railway on clayey soils may create many problems. The economic losses and damages caused by these soils have led researchers to do many studies using different chemical additives for the stabilization of them. Lime is a popular additive used to stabilize the clayey soils. When the base course is stabilized by mixing with an additive, inevitable delays may occur during compaction due to reasons like insufficient workers, breakdown of compaction equipment, etc. The main purpose of this study is to research the effect of compaction delay time (7 days) on the strength, compaction, and dynamic properties of a clay soil stabilized with lime content of 0, 3, 6, 9, 12 and 15% by dry weight of soil. Compaction characteristics of these mixes were determined immediately after mixing, and after 7 days from the end of mixing process. Within this context, unconfined compressive strength (UCS) under the various curing periods (uncured, 7 and 28 days) and dynamic triaxial tests were performed on the compacted specimens. The results of UCS and dynamic triaxial tests showed that delayed compaction on the strength of the lime-stabilized clay soil were significantly effective. Especially with the lime content of 9%, the increase in the shear modulus (G) and UCS of 28 days curing were more prominent after 7 days mellowing period. Because of the complex forms of hysteresis loops caused by the lime additive, the damping ratio (D) values differed from the trends presented in the literature and showed a scattered relationship.

현재 고준위 방사성 폐기물 심층 처분 시스템에서 기본 완충재 물질로서 건조밀도 1.6 g/$cm^3$의 경주산 칼슘 벤토나이트를 사용하고 있으나, 열전도도가 낮은 단점이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기준 완충재의 열전도율을 0.8 W/mK에서 1.0 W/mK로 향상시키기 위한 목적으로 다양한 첨가제를 다양한 혼합 방법을 통해 배합하고 열전도도를 측정하였다. 첨가제는 CNT(Cabon Nano Tube), Graphite, Alumina, CuO 및 $Fe_2O_3$ 등을 사용하였다. 혼합 방법의 경우, 핸드 믹서기를 통한 건식혼합, 습식 Milling 혼합, 건식 Ball Mill 혼합 등을 실시하였다. Ball Mill 혼합의 경우가 가장 균일하게 혼합되었기 때문에, 값의 편차가 가장 적었고 열전도도 증가율이 가장 좋았다. 지금까지 수행된 시험에서 소량의 고열전도 물질의 첨가로 경주산 칼슘 벤토나이트의 열전도도를 1.0 W/mK 수준으로 용이하게 증가시킬 수 있음을 실험적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 결론적으로, 본 연구에서 제시된 열전도 향상 방법은, 첨가제 혼합이 벤토나이트의 기본 성질인 팽윤압과 수리전도도에 미치는 영향까지 제시된다면, 국내 고준위폐기물 처분장의 개념 설계에 유용하게 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 혼화제에 따른 3성분계 그라우트에 대하여 자유수축 및 구속수축에 대하여 평가하였다. 본 연구에서 3성분계 그라우트는 플라이애쉬, 지르코늄 실리카퓸을 사용하였고, 팽창재(a, b)와 수축저감제 혼화제를 병용 사용하였다. 또한 유럽규정 EN 445에 따라 그라우트의 기본재료특성 실험을 수행하여 블리딩, 체적변화량, 유동성, 압축강도 실험을 수행하여 기본재료특성 거동도 분석하였다. 실험결과, 팽창재와 수축저감제 혼입률에 따라 유동성은 다소 영향은 없었으나, 우수한 블리딩 및 침하 저감성능과 압축강도를 나타났다. 자유수축 거동에서는 팽창재와 수축저감제를 혼입한 변수들은 0.0E-0.0R 변수보다 최소 29%의 수축저감성능을 보여 주었다. 특히 팽창재 a와 수축저감제를 병용 사용한 변수에서는 수축 저감의 효과가 더욱 우수한 것으로 나타났으며, 혼화제의 혼입률이 증가할수록 텐던 구속에 의한 수축균열은 뒤늦게 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 그러나 유독 팽창재 a 2.0%, 수축저감제 0.50%를 혼입한 변수에서는 우수한 수축저감성능으로 수축균열이 발생하지 않았다. 종합하여 볼 때, 본 연구의 실험 조건에서는 팽창재 a 2.0%, 수축저감제 0.50%인 조합이 PSC 교량용 고품질 3성분계 그라우트의 최적의 혼입률인 것으로 분석된다.

The effect of IN738 additive powder on microstructure and mechanical properties of the wide-gap region brazed with BNi-3 filler metal powder was investigated. The wide-gap brazing was conducted in a vacuum of $2\times10^{-5}torr\;at\;1200^{\circ}C$ with various powder mixing ratios of additive to filler powders. The microstructures of the wide-gap brazed region were analyzed by SEM and AES. The region brazed with only BNi-3 filler metal powder had a microstructure consisted of proeutectic, binary eutectic and ternary eutectic structure, while that brazed with a mixture of IN738 additive powder and BNi-3 filler metal powder had a microstructure consisted of IN738 additive powder, binary eutectic of $Ni_3B-Ni$ solid solution and (Cr, W)B. The fracture strength of the wide-gap brazed region was about 680 MPa regardless of the additive powder mixing ratios. Cracks were initiated at the (Cr, W)B and binary eutectic of $Ni_3B-Ni$ solid solution, and propagated through them in the wide-gap brazed region, which lowered the fracture strength of the region.

본 논문에서는 일반적인 six-port 수신기의 한 구성 성분인 BPSK 수신기와 반사형 위상 천이기를 이용하여 QPSK 신호를 복조하는 방법을 제안, 검증하고자 한다. 기존의 일반적인 곱셈 혼합 방식이나 덧셈 혼합 방식의 I/Q 복조기는 혼합기부터 parallel-to-serial 변환기까지 I/Q 경로가 분리되어 있다. 본 논문에서는 I/Q baseband 신호 경로의 분리가 없는 새로운 I/Q 복조기를 제안한다. 이는 일반적인 수신기에 비하여 baseband 경로의 회로 크기와 전력 소모를 반으로 줄일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 또한, 데이터 복조 후 parallel-to-serial 변환기가 사용될 필요가 없다. 설계된 복조기 모듈은 L-band 반송파 주파수의 데이터 율 20 Mbps까지의 QPSK 변조 신호를 성공적으로 복조하였다.
