In this paper, the expert cure system for carbon fiber epoxy composite materials, which controls the temperature and pressure of the autoclave according to the several rules, was developed to manufacture better composite products in shorter curing time. The rules were based on the on-line measured quantities such as the dielectric properties and temperature of the composites and the pressure of the autoclave. The curing time and the mechanical properties of the composite materials manufactured with the expert cure system were compared to those of the specimens manufactured with the conventional cure cycle.

Recently, reaction injection molding has been used broadly for rapid prototyping, because of its convenience and versatility. Since the properties of molded products are dependent on the process variables and the production is very short(less than 2minutes), the control of process variables is important. Generally, the two significant process variables are degree of cure and temperature of the reactants. In this paper, the relation between the degree of cure and the temperature of reactants was investigated to find the optimal curing condition of reaction injection molding for rapid prototyping. The degree of cure during reaction injection molding was measured by the Lacomtech sensor and dielectrometry equipment employing Wheatstone bridge type circuit.

Washable wool was developed using environmental-friendly spray UV-cure technique. Photocrosslinkable polymer, dextran-methacrylate, was synthesized starting from natural biopolymer, dextran. The aqueous solution of dextran-methacrylate was applied to wool fabric with various concentrations to find out the optimum condition in minimizing felting shrinkage. The wool fabric subsequently cured by 365 nm UV, The effects of UV-cure time and photoinitiator concentration on felting behavior of wool were examined. As the concentration of dextran-methacrylate increased, the felting shrinkage decreased gradually. At concentration 0.5g/ml, the felting shrinkage of wool was negligible. Other properties such as air permeability, moisture content, wrinkle recovery, thickness and wettability were also evaluated. The surface coating of dextran polymer onto wool fiber was identified by SEM.

산무수물 경화 에폭시 수지의 잠재 특성 및 경화 동력학을 근적외선 분광분석법을 통해서 논의하였다. 잠재 특성과 경화 거동의 확인은 각기 다른 온도에서 에폭사이드와 수산기의 NIR reflectance를 측정함으로써 행해졌으며 반응 과정에서 4000~7100$cm^{-1}$ / 스펙트럼 범위의 주된 NIR 흡수피크의 기점, 위치 그리고 전이에 대한 포괄적인 분석이 이루어졌다. 반응의 정도는 에폭사이드의 함량과 경화 온도에 의존적인 4530$cm^{-1}$ /의 NIR 흡수 피크로부터 결정하였다.

The blends of ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer (EPDM) and high density polyethylene (HDPE) have been studied. Blends were prepared in a laboratory internal mixer, where EPDM was cured under shear with dicumyl peroxide (DCP) in the absence of HDPE and later blended with HDPE (cure-blend). The effect of DCP concentration, shear intensity of the mixing, and rubber/plastic composition were studied on the rheological, thermal and physical properties of the cure-blend. The results obtained were compared with those from blend-cure of Lee and Kim's work and discussed.

The cure behaviors, dielectric characteristics and fracture toughness of diglycidylether of bisphenol-A (DGEBA)/poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) blend system were investigated. The degree of conversion for the DGEBA/PET blend system was measured using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The cure kinetics were investigated by measuring the cure activation energies ($E_a$) with dynamic differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The dielectric characteristic was examined by dielectric analysis (DEA). The mechanical properties were investigated by measuring the critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$), critical strain energy release rate ($G_{IC}$), and impact strength test. As a result, DGEBAIPET was successfully blended. The Ea of the blend system was increased with increasing PET content to a maximum at 10 phr PET. The dielectric constant was decreased with increasing PET content. The mechanical properties of the blend system were also superior to those of the neat DGEBA. These results were attributed to the increased cross-linking density of the blend system, resulting from the interaction between the epoxy group of DGEBA and the carboxyl group of PET.

In a hospital, there are many clinical departments. In general, the hospital management often uses the index of cure rate (i.e. the rate of patients recovered by the cure of this hospital) to evaluate the medical quality of each clinical department. But, since the cure rate varies significantly with the rate of patient with severe disease, the evaluation by cure rate is unreasonable and incomplete. This paper proposes a new evaluation method called the cause-selecting evaluation method proposed by Prof. Gongxu Zhang (1990). Besides, this method can also be used to diagnose the abnormality of cure rate. The practical case studies check with the theory very well.

Intending to develop a new rubber curing process using only microwave, the both the characteristics of cure and the mechanical properties of rubbers for the tire tread, for which a green styrene-butadiene compounds had been cured with 2.45 GHz microwave, have been compared with those of the custom thermal cured rubber. The unintentional hot spot formation in the compound during the microwave curing has not found where the compound has a microwave absorbing ceramic powders in 4.18 weight percents and the supplying voltage has been adjusted to 90 volts. The new microwave process accomplished preheating to 418K in a quarter of the thermal cure time. The average tensile strength of the microwave-cured rubber indicating $190kg/cm^3$ was compatible to that of the thermal cure. In conclusion, the new microwave cure had approved to be applicable in a commercial plant.

본 논문에서는 복합재의 3차원 경화 수치모사를 위해 유한요소 정식과정을 제시하였다. 이 정식을 기초로 하여 유한요소 프로그램을 개발하였다. 개발한 프로그램을 검증하기 위해 참고문헌에 제시된 수치예제에 대한 해석을 수행하였다. 본 논문에서의 경화 수치모사결과가 측정된 경화온도와 잘 일치하였다. 본 3차원 경화 수치모사에서는 1, 2차원 해석과는 달리 복합재 구조물의 임의 지점에서의 수치모사 결과분석이 가능하다. 개발된 유한요소 프로그램을 이용하면 불규칙한 형상을 가진 복합재 구조물과 일정하지 않은 오토클레이브 내부 온도분포 하에서의 경화 수치모사를 할 수 있다.

The isothermal cure reactions of blends of epoxy (DGEBA, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A)/anhydride resin with polyamide copolymer (poly(dimmer acid-co-alkyl polyamine)) or PEI were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Rheological measurements have been made to investigate the viscosity and mechanical relaxation behavior of the blends. The reaction rate and the final cure conversion were decreased with increasing the amount of thermoplastics in the blends. Lower values of final cure conversions in the epoxy/thermoplastic blends indicate that thermoplastics hinder the cure reaction between the epoxy and the curing agent. Complete miscibility was observed in the uncured blends of epoxy/thermoplastics up to $120^{\circ}C$ but phase separations occurred in the early stages of the curing process at higher temperatures than $120^{\circ}C$. According to the rheological measurement results, a rise of G' and G" at the onset of phase separation is seen. A rise of G' and G" is not observed for neat epoxy system since no phase separation is seen during cure reaction. At the onset of phase separation the rheological behavior was influenced by the amount of thermoplastics in the epoxy/thermoplastic blends, and the onset of phase separation can be detected by rheological measurements.
