본 연구에서는 졸-겔, 용매치환, 표면개질, 상압건조 공정과 계면활성제에 의한 템플레이팅(templating) 공법 및 소결 공정을 이용하여 실리카 에어로겔 모노리스와 메조포러스 실리카 모노리스를 각각 합성하였다. 제조된 두 종류의 실리카 모노리스는 균열이 없이 비교적 투명하였으며, 매우 높은 기공율(92-94%) 및 비표면적($800-840m^2/g$)과 수 십 nm 수준의 기공 크기를 갖는 것으로 확인되었다. 표면개질을 적용한 실리카 에어로겔 샘플이 스피링백 효과로 인하여 메조포러스 실리카 모노리스에 비해 더욱 미세하고 균질한 나노 기공 구조를 보였을 뿐만 아니라, 그 단열 성능도 더욱 우수한 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구를 통해 합성된 두 종류의 실리카 모노리스를 중간층으로 적용한 복층 창유리의 단열 성능을 측정된 모노리스의 열전도도와 이론식을 근거로 조사한 결과, 기존의 상업적으로 응용되는 공기층 삽입 복층 창유리에 비해 우수한 단열 성능을 보이는 것으로 나타났다.

Lanthanum-based transition metal cations containing perovskites have emerged as potential catalysts for the intermediate-temperature (600-800℃) oxygen reduction reaction (ORR). Here, we report a facile acetylacetone-assisted combustion route for the synthesis of nanostructured La_0.6Sr_0.4Co_0.2Fe_0.8O_3-δ (LSCF6428) cathodes for intermediate-temperature solid-oxide fuel cells (IT-SOFCs). The as-prepared powder was analyzed by thermogravimetry analysis-differential scanning calorimetry. The powder calcined at 800℃ was characterized by X-ray diffraction, scanning electrode microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area measurements. It was found that the porosity of the air electrode significantly increased by utilizing the nanostructured LSCF6428 instead of commercial powder. The performance of a single cell fabricated with the nanostructured LSCF6428 cathode increased by 112%, from 0.4 to 0.85 W cm^-2, at 700℃. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy showed a considerable reduction in the area-specific resistance and activation energy from 133.5 to 61.5 kJ/mol, resulting in enhanced electrocatalytic activity toward ORR and overall cell performance.

Various commercially available gas diffusion layers (GDLs) from different manufacturers were used to prepare an air electrode using $La_{0.8}Sr_{0.2}CoO_3$ perovskite (LSCP) as the catalyst for the oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) and oxygen evolution reaction (OER) in an alkaline solution. Various GDLs have different physical properties, such as porosity, conductivity, hydrophobicity, etc. The ORR and OER of the resulting cathode were electrochemically evaluated in an alkaline solution. The electrochemical properties of the resulting cathodes were slightly different when compared to the physical properties of GDLs. Pore structure and conductivity of GDLs had a prominent effect and their hydrophobicities had a minor effect on the electrochemical performances of cathodes for ORR and OER.

본 연구에서는 고로슬래그 다량치환 콘크리트의 탄산화 저항성 및 내동해성 향상을 위하여 팽창성 인공 기포인 Expancel과 ERCO를 조합 사용하고 그에 따른 일련의 실험을 진행하고자 한다. 연구결과에 따르면 ERCO 치환에 따라 비누화반응에 의한 모세관공극 충전효과로 탄산화 저항성이 향상되었으며, 이 때 문제점으로 지적된 내동해성 저하현상을 개선하기 위하여 Expancel을 사용하였는데, Expancel 치환율이 증가함에 따라 내동해성이 대폭 개선되는 것으로 나타났다. 이는 Expancel이 외부압력에 의해 선택적으로 체적축소현상과 기포간격계수의 감소에 기인한 결과로 판단된다.

Porous ceramics are promising materials for a number of functional and structural applications that include thermal insulation, filters, bio-scaffolds for tissue engineering, and preforms for composite fabrication. These applications take advantage of the special characteristics of porous ceramics, such as low thermal mass, low thermal conductivity, high surface area, controlled permeability, and low density. In this review, we emphasize the direct foaming method, a simple and versatile approach that allows the fabrication of porous ceramics with tailored microstructure, along with distinctive properties. The wet foam stability is achieved under the controlled addition of amphiphiles to the colloidal suspension, which induce in situ hydrophobization, allowing the wet foam to resist coarsening and Ostwald ripening upon drying and sintering. Different components, like contact angle, adsorption free energy, air content, bubble size, and Laplace pressure, play vital roles in the stabilization of the particle stabilized wet foam to the porous ceramics. The mechanical behavior of the load-displacements curves of sintered samples was investigated using Herzian indentations testes. From the collected results, we found that microporous structures with pore sizes from 30 ㎛ to 570 ㎛ and the porosity within the range from 70% to 85%.

During the late phase of severe accidents of light water reactors, a porous debris bed is expected to develop on the bottom of the flooded reactor cavity after breakup of the melt in water. The geometrical configuration, i.e., internal and external characteristics, of the debris bed is significant for the adequate assessment of the coolability of the relocated corium. The internal structure of a debris bed was investigated experimentally using the DAVINCI (Debris bed research Apparatus for Validation of the bubble-Induced Natural Convection effect Issue) test facility. Particle sedimentation under the influence of a two-phase natural convection flow due to the decay heat in the debris bed was simulated by dropping various sizes of particles into a water vessel with air bubble injection from the bottom. Settled particles were collected and sieved to obtain the particle mass, size distribution in the radial and axial positions, and the bed porosity and permeability. The experimental results showed that the center part of the particle bed tended to have larger particles than the peripheral area. For the axial distribution, the lower layer had a higher fraction of larger particles. As the sedimentation progressed, the size distribution in the upper layers can shift to larger sizes because of the higher vapor generation rate and stronger flow intensity.

실내공기질 중 지하시설은 휘발성유기화합물(VOC, volatile organic compound)의 처리가 미흡한 실정이며, 이를 환기와 같은 확산법이 아닌 오염물질 저감하기 위하여 다양한 제조, 활성화법을 이용해 메탈 필터에 흡착성을 부여한 제올라이트 코팅 흡착 필터소재를 제조하였다. 그 결과, 메탈폼 지지체 대비 약 2~20배 이상 흡착 성능의 증진을 확인하였으며 이는 기공의 증진에 기반함을 SEM 분석으로 확인하였다. 또한 리그닌을 첨가함에 따라 13.95 mg/g의 흡착 성능을 확보하였으며, 세척 후에도 평균 13.25 mg/g의 유사한 흡착 성능을 확보하여 높은 내구성을 가진 흡착 필터소재를 제조하였음을 확인하였다. 개발된 흡착 필터소재는 지하시설 내 기계적 환기로의 농도 저감이 아닌 근본적으로 VOCs를 제어할 수 있는 해결방법으로 제시할 수 있을 것으로 판단하였다.

In this study, the optimum gating system was designed, and the two zinc alloy worm gears were manufactured in single process by applying a symmetrical gating system with 2 runners. The SRG ratio is set to 1 : 0.9 : 0.6, and the cross-sectional shapes such as sprue, runner and gate are designed. In order to determine whether the design of the gating system is appropriate, casting analysis was carried out. It takes 4.380 s to charge the casting 100%, 0.55 to 0.6 m/s at the gates and solidification begins after the casting is fully charged. The amount of air entrapment is 2% in the left gear and 6% in the right gear. Hot spots occurred in the center hole of the gear, and pores were found to occur around the upper part of the hole. Therefore, the design of the casting method is suitable for worm gears. CT analysis showed that all parts of worm gear were distributed with fine pores and some coarse pores were distributed around the central hole of worm gear. The yield strength and tensile strength were 220 MPa, 285 MPa, and the elongation rate was 8%. Vickers hardness is 82 HV.

The effect of tert-butyl alcohol (TBA) as a freezing solvent on the pore structure of a porous tungsten body prepared by freeze-drying is analyzed. TBA slurries with a WO3 content of 10 vol% are prepared by mixing with a small amount of dispersant and binder at 30℃. The slurries are frozen at -25℃, and pores are formed in the frozen specimens by the sublimation of TBA during drying in air. After hydrogen reduction at 800℃ and sintering at 1000℃, the green body of WO₃ is completely converted to porous W with various pore structures. Directional pores from the center of the specimen to the outside are observed in the sintered bodies because of the columnar growth of TBA. A decrease in pore directionality and porosity is observed in the specimens prepared by long-duration drying and sintering. The change in pore structure is explained by the growth of the freezing solvent and densification.
