The rapid development of the automobile industry is an important factor that led to the dramatic development of synthetic rubber. The tread part of tire that comes in direct contact with the road surface is related to the service life of the tire. Rubber compounds used in tire treads are often blended with SBR (styrene-butadiene rubber) and BR (butadiene rubber) to satisfy physical property requirements. However, when two or more kinds of rubber are blended, phase separation and silica dispersion problems may occur due to non-uniform mixing of the rubber. Therefore, in this study, we synthesized an SBR copolymer with the same composition as that of a typical SBR/BR blend compound by controlling butadiene content during ESBR (emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber) synthesis. Subsequently, silica filled compounds were manufactured using the synthesized ESBR, and their mechanical properties, dynamic viscoelasticity, and crosslinking density were compared with those of the SBR/BR blended compound. When the content of butadiene was increased in the silica filled compound, the cure rate accelerated due to an increased number of allylic positions, which typically exhibit higher reactivity. However, the T-2 compound with increased butadiene content by synthesis less likely to show an increase in crosslink density due to poor silica dispersion. In addition, the T-3 compound containing high cis BR content showed high crosslink density due to its monosulfide crosslinking structure. Because of the phase separation, SBR/BR blend compounds were easily broken and showed similar $M_{100%}$ and $M_{300%}$ values as those of other compounds despite their high crosslink density. However, the developed blend showed excellent abrasion resistance due to the high cis-1,4 butadiene content and low rolling resistance due to the high crosslink density.

Chemical modification of gelatin-based macroporous microcanier beads was achieved by increasing the charge density through incorporation of (diethylamino)ethylchloride-hydrochloride (DEAE:CI-HCI) or lysine, and this significantly improved the attachment and growth of HepG2 cells. When microcarriers were modified by the addition of 2% lysine, positive charge density was 0.95 meq/g-caniers. In case of modification of microcarriers with DEAE:CI-HCI, positive charge density was 0.6 meq/g-caniers. An increase in charge density of the microcaniers to improve cell attachment has facilitated the growth of the cells on macroporous gelatin microcaniers. Also, final HepG2 cell concentration cultivated on modified beads with DEAE:CI-HCI was increased up to $10^7$ cells/ml. This was 2-3 times higher than that obtained with unmodified macroporous gelatin microcarriers.

In this work, we discuss where the failure of Kohn-Sham Density Functional Theory (DFT) occurs in weak interactions. We have adopted density-corrected density functional calculations and dispersion correction separately to find out whether the failure is due to density-driven error or functional error. The results of Benzene Ar complex, one of the most common examples of van der Waals interactions, show that DFT calculations of van der Waals interaction suffer from functional error, rather than density-driven error. In addition, errors in DFT calculations of the S22 dataset, which contains small to relatively large (30 atoms) complexes with non-covalent interactions, are governed by functional errors.

약액으로 개량된 지반의 액상화 저항은 약액의 농도에 따라 달라지며 현재는 일축압축강도를 기준으로 농도가 결정되는 것이 일반적이다. 하지만 액상화에 대한 저항력을 나타내는 강성저하율을 적극적으로 평가하여 합리적이고 경제적인 설계를 확립해야 할 필요성이 몇몇 연구자들에 의해 지적되어 왔다. 이에 본 논문에서는 반복전단 삼축압축시험을 이용하여 개량토의 강성저하율을 평가하였으며 이를 바탕으로 약액 농도 산정의 합리성을 검토하였다. 실험결과, 개량토는 유효응력의 감소, 강성의 저하 측면에서 모두 액상화에 대한 저항력을 갖고 있었으며, 설계에서 사용하는 5~6%의 약액 농도보다 적은 2%의 약액 농도에서도 액상화 저항이 향상되었다. 이러한 점을 바탕으로 생각하면, 기존의 일축압축강도를 기준으로 한 약액농도의 설정은 과다설계의 가능성이 있는 것으로 판단되었으며, 결국 과도하게 일축압축강도를 증가 시키지 않고도 강성저하가 방지되며 이를 반영한다면 약액 농도를 보다 합리적으로 줄여 갈 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

Blends of poly(l-lactide) (PLA) and low density polyethylene (LDPE) were prepared by melt mixing in order to improve the brittleness of PLA. A reactive compatibilizer with glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), PE-GMA, was required as a compatibilizer due to the immiscibility between PLA and LDPE. It contributes to reduce the domain size of dispersed phase and enhance the tensile properties of PLA/LDPE blends, especially for PLA matrix blends. A reaction product between PLA and PE-GMA, which was formed during melt-mixing and considered to act as a reactive compatibilizer, was characterized using $ ^1H-NMR$ spectroscopy.

Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) is a technology that planarizes the surfaces of semiconductor devices using chemical reaction and mechanical material removal, and it is an essential process in manufacturing highly integrated semiconductors. In the CMP process, a conditioning process using a diamond conditioner is applied to remove by-products generated during processing and ensure the surface roughness of the CMP pad. In previous studies, prediction of pad wear by CMP conditioning has depended on numerical analysis studies based on mathematical simulation. In this study, using an artificial neural network, the ratio of conditioner coverage to the distance between centers in the conditioning system is input, and the average conditioning density, standard deviation, nonuniformity (NU), and conditioning density distribution are trained as targets. The result of training seems to predict the target data well, although the average conditioning density, standard deviation, and NU in the contact area of wafer and pad and all areas of the pad have some errors. In addition, in the case of NU, the prediction calculated from the training results of the average conditioning density and standard deviation can reduce the error of training compared with the results predicted through training. The results of training on the conditioning density profile generally follow the target data well, confirming that the shape of the conditioning density profile can be predicted.

This study was experimented to obtain the basic information on the changeable aspect and improvement of soil fertility in newly-reclaimed sloped land. Silage corn was cultivated under the six different treatments for 4 years. The relation between the amount or ratio of annual changes of soil physico-chemical properties and yield of silage corn were analyzed. Soil bulk density was decreased in 3rd year at topsoil, but that decreased in 4th year at subsoil. Soil organic matter also decreased in 2nd year at topsoil, and decreased continuously at subsoil. Bulk density and hardness of soil depths showed significant negative simple correlation with dry matter yield and cation exchange capacity showed positive. Correlation coefficient of chemical properties with dry matter yield were low. The range of annual changes of moisture percent, hardness and organic matter were wider than the other properties. The significantly different of physical properties were higher than the chemical properties, and those of topsoil were higher than subsoil. According to multiple regression between yield and physico-chemical properties of subsoil, bulk density and cation exchange capacity were in the greatest contribution at the variations, but bulk density was greatest at the ratios.

지글러-나타 촉매를 사용하여 에틸렌을 중합함으로써 다양한 공단량체의 종류와 조성을 갖는 이중 분자량 분포의 고밀도 폴리에틸렌이 합성되었다. 이들의 구조와 물성을 GPC, NMR, DSC, 인장 측정기를 이용하여 연구하였다. 에틸렌/1-헥센 공중합체가 에틸렌/1-부텐 공중합체보다 비슷한 조성을 가질 경우 높은 인장강도와 파단연신율을 가짐을 확인 하였다. 분자량은 고분자의 공단량체 비율이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 짧은 곁사슬은 결정화도에 영향을 주어 결과적으로 이중 분자량 분포를 갖는 고밀도 폴리에틸렌의 모폴로지와 기계적 물성에 영향을 미쳤다. SSA로 처리 후 다수의 발열 곡선이 관찰되었으며 이는 주로 에틸렌 배열길이와 라멜라 두께의 불균일성에 기인한다. 분포지수의 차이로부터 공단량체의 조성이 높은 폴리에틸렌의 SCB 분포가 균일도를 향상시킴을 알 수 있었다.
