In this study, alkoxysilane-functionalized amphiphilic polymer (AFAP), which have hydrophilic segment and hydrophobic segment functionalized by alkoxysilane group at the same backbone, was synthesized and used as a dispersant and control agent for reaction rate in the preparation of colloidally stable organic-inorganic (O-I) hybrid sols. After reaction with fluorosilane compounds, fluorinated O-I hybrid sols were prepared and coated onto glass substrate to form hydrophobic O-I hybrid coating films through low-temperature curing process. Surface hardness and hydrophobicity of cured coating films were varied with type of solvent and composition of AFAP and fluorinated alkoxysilane compounds. At appropriate solvent and composition of fluorinated alkoxysilane compounds, O-I hybrid coating film having high transparency and surface hardness could be prepared, which could be applicable to cover window of solar cell and displays.

The effect of synthesis conditions such as various organic material and composition of organic-inorganic material in ozone resistance and surface characteristic of ultraviolet cured organic-inorganic hybrid coating film has been investigated. Organic-inorganic hybrid coating solution was prepared using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), silane coupling agent methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS), 2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate, and various organic materials with acrylate group, bar-coated on substrates using applicator and densified by UV-curing. It was found that ozone resistance and surface hardness of the coating film was increased with contents of TEOS. It was also found that ozone resistance of coating film was increased with contents of 2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate. On the other hand, surface hardness was decreased with increase of 2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate. In addition, Surface hardness of coating film was increased with the addition of aliphatic urethane acrylate. It was also found that the transmittance of coating films was not influenced by content of TEOS and 2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate. In addition, the coating film exhibited high transmittance of above 90%.

Hydrophilic coating solutions were prepared by reacting a silane coupling agent, aminosilane with colloidal silica (15~20 nm in diameter). Hydrophilic coating films were also obtained by depositing the hydrophilic coating solutions on polycarbonate substrates by dip-coating and subsequently by thermal curing at $120^{\circ}C$. During this process, the effect of types of aminosilane was studied on the properties of coating films. As a result, coating films, prepared with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane (APTES) as aminosilane, showed contact angles of $25{\sim}44^{\circ}$ and a poor pencil hardness of B. On the other hand, coating films, prepared with 3-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APTMS) as aminosilane, exhibited contact angles of $26{\sim}37^{\circ}$ and a good pencil hardness of 2H.

Thermoplastic elastomer was prepared from dynamical vulcanization of isotactic polypropylene(iPP)/nitrile rubber blend (NBR/iPP=70/30 wt/wt) in an internal mixer using dicumyl peroxide (DCP) as a curing agent and zinc dimethacrylate (ZDMA) as a coagent. There was a great improvement in tensile and tear strength, elongation-at-break and lower tension set when ZDMA was incorporated into the blend, which is supposed to be due to the increase in crosslink density or the rubber phase and the reduction in size of the rubber particles. It was revealed that the dynamically vulcanized blend exhibited good reprocessibility, indicating its thermoplastic nature.

This study aims to provide basic data for soil packaging differing in accordance with the strength characteristics of mixed soil, using E.S.B. (Eco Soil Binder), an eco-friendly hardening agent, based on the type of soil. The soil used in this study is weathered granite soil readily collected in and around Korea, and is classified into SW, SP and SC according to soil classification systems. The test piece for the unconfined compressive strength test has dimensions of 50 mm in diameter and 100 mm in height, with the mix ratio of E.S.B. proportional to the weight of mixed soil changed from 5% to 10%, 15%, 20%, 25%, and 30%, where compactness of 90% and 100% were applied according to each condition to analyze the unconfined compressive strength characteristics at material ages of 3, 7, and 28 days. Also, the ratio of soil packaging standard strength and unconfined compressive strength was calculated to determine the optimal E.S.B. mix ratio, whereby the field applicability of the unconfined compressive strength using the estimation equation of ACI209R was evaluated.

Experimental study on the durability characteristics to examine the feasibility of concrete with high water-tightness and self-healing performance to minimize maintenance of concrete for artificial ground is as follows. 1) When blending agent, swelling agents, and curing accelerator were added on the ternary system cement with blast-furnace slag fine particles and fly ash to give a self-healing property, higher blending strengths by 82% at design standard strength of 24MPa and by 74% at design strength of 30MPa, respectively could be obtained. 2) The permeability test for the specimens having high water-tightness and no shrinkage showed that the permeability was reduced at maximum of 98%. However, the permeability was decreased as the design strength was increased, showing the reduction rate of 87% at the design strength of 50MPa. 3) The depth of carbonation of blast-furnace slag and fly ash was increased in all the specimens compared with those of OPC only. However, as the material age was increased, carbonation penetration depth was decreased compared with the reference blend. 4) Compared with the reference blending using only OPC, the freeze-thaw resistance was higher in the case of blending with 40% of blast-furnace slag and 10% of fly ash at the design standard strength of 50MPa. In addition, the freeze-thaw resistance in general was superior in the design standard strength of 50MPa with the lower water-binder ratio (W/B) as compared with the design standard strength of 24MPa and 30MPa with the high water-binder ratios.

Composite materials are substances that are configured to have excellent physical properties by combining the properties of a single substance, and are in the limelight as materials that exceed the performance of metals and polymers. However, it has the disadvantages of long cycle time and high unit price, and much research is being performed to overcome these disadvantages. In this study, we developed an epoxy resin curing agent that can shorten the time required for mass production of composite materials, and tried to expand the applicability of objections by imparting flame retardancy. The epoxy resin used as a basic substance utilized two types of bisphenol F and resorcinol structure, which was further modified using 9,10-dihydro-9-oxa-10-phosphaphenantrene-10-oxide (DOPO) to impart flame retardancy. Triethylphosphate (TEP) and bis [(5-ethyl-2-methyl-1,3,2-dioxaphosphorinan-5-yl)methyl] methyl phosphonate P,P'-dioxide (FR-001) were used as additives, seven kinds of compositions were blended, thermal characteristics (gelation time, glass transition temperature) and flame retardant performance were evaluated. We successfully developed an epoxy matrix that can be applied to high pressure resin transfer molding (HP-RTM) process.

This study investigated the effect of a pigment (C. I. Pigment Red 122) addition on mechanical properties of the epoxy resin, diglycidyl ether of bisphenol F (DGEBF) and G640 curing agent. The K/S value, thermal properties, tensile properties, and fracture toughness of the prepared epoxy samples were evaluated. When the pigment was added to the DGEBF/G640 epoxy system, the color of the epoxy resin changed to red from transparent and yellowish color, and the K/S value in the red region increased as the pigment content increased. When the pigment content was increased up to 0.1 phr, the tensile strength was improved up to 21.8 %, whereas the pigment content was over 0.1 phr, the tensile strength decreased. The fracture toughness was improves up to 23.1 % until the amount of pigment added was up to 0.2 phr, and then decreased when the amount of the pigment added was more than 0.2 phr. This attributed to the aggregation of the pigments in the epoxy resin when the amount of the pigment added was more than 0.2 phr. Therefore, the coloration of the epoxy resin with an organic pigment must be carried out very carefully because the coloration of epoxy resin affects its mechanical properties.

A shield was made by mixing materials such as bismuth(Bi) and barium(Ba) with silicon to evaluate its shielding ability. Bismuth was made into a shield by mixing a bismuth oxide(Bi₂O₃) colloidal solution and a silicon base and applied to a fibrous fabric, and barium was made by mixing lead oxide(PbO) and barium sulfate(BaSO₄) with a silicon curing agent and solidifying it to make a shield. The test was conducted according to the lead equivalent test method for X-ray protective products of the Korean Industrial Standard. The experiment was conducted by increasing the shielding body one by one from the test condition of 60 kVp, 200 mA, 0.1sec and 100 kVp, 200 mA, 0.1 sec. At 60 kVp, 2 lead oxide-barium sulfate shields, 2 bismuth oxide 1.5 mm shields, and 5 bismuth oxide 0.3 mm shields showed shielding ability equal to or higher than that of lead 0.5 mm. At 100 kVp, 2 lead oxide-barium sulfate shields and 2 bismuth oxide 1.5 mm shields showed shielding ability equal to or higher than that of lead 0.5 mm. It was confirmed that when using 2 pieces of lead oxide-barium sulfate and 1.5 mm of bismuth oxide, respectively, it has shielding ability equivalent to that of lead. Bismuth oxide and lead oxide-barium sulfate are lightweight and have excellent shielding ability, thus they have excellent properties to be used as an apron for radiation protection or other shielding materials.
