Advanced epoxy molding compounds (EMCs) should be considered to alleviate the thermal stress problems caused by low thermal conductivity and high elastic modulus of an EMC and by the mismatch of the coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) between an EMC and the Si-wafer. Though A1N has some advantages, such as high thermal conductivity and mechanical strength, an A1N-filled EMC could not be applied to commercial products because of its low fluidity and high modules. To solve this problem, we used 2-$\mu\textrm{m}$ fused silica, which has low porosity and spherical shape, as a small size filler in the binary mixture of fillers. When the composition of the silica in the binary filler system reached 0.3, the fluidity of EMC was improved more than twofold and the mechanical strength was improved 1.5 times, relative to the 23-$\mu\textrm{m}$ A1N-filled EMC. In addition, the values of the elastic modules and the dielectric constant were reduced to 90％, although the thermal conductivity of EMC was reduced from 4.3 to 2.5 W/m-K, when compared with the 23-$\mu\textrm{m}$ A1N-filled EMC. Thus, the A1N/silica (7/3)-filled EMC effectively meets the requirements of an advanced electronic packaging material for commercial products, such as high thermal conductivity (more than 2 W/m-K), high fluidity, low elastic modules, low dielectric constant, and low CTE.

Excessive pronation and impact force during running are related to various running injuries. To prevent these injuries, three type of running shoes are used, such as cushioning, stability, and motion control. Although there were may studies about the effect of midsole hardness on impact force, no study to investigate biomechanical effect of motion control running shoes. The purpose of this study was to determine biomechanical difference between cushioning and motion control shoes during treadmill running. Specifically, plantar and rearfoot motion, impact force and loading rate, and insole pressure distribution were quantified and compared. Twenty male healthy runners experienced at treadmill running participated in this study. When they ran on treadmill at 3.83 m/s. Kinematic data were collected using a Motion Analysis eight video camera system at 240 Hz. Impact force and pressure distribution data under the heel of right foot were collected with a Pedar pressure insole system with 26 sensors at 360 Hz. Mean value of ten consecutive steps was calculated for kinematics and kinetics. A dependent paired t-test was used to compare the running shoes effect (p=0.05). For most kinematics, motion control running shoes reduced the range of rearfoot motion compared to cushioning shoes. Runners wearing motion control shoe showed less eversion angle during standing less inversion angle at heel strike, and slower eversion velocity. For kinetics, cushioning shoes has the effect to reduce impact on foot obviously. Runners wearing cushioning shoes showed less impact force and loading rate, and less peak insole pressure. For both shoes, there was greater load on the medial part of heel compared to lateral part. For pressure distribution, runners with cushioning shoes showed lower, especially on the medial heel.

본 연구는 축구화 겉창의 스터드개발시 운동역학적 연구가 스터드개발에 어떻게 영향을 끼치었는가를 국외 선행연구문헌을 고찰함으로서 그 과정을 발견하는데 그 목적을 두었다. 지난 70년간 축구화 스터드가 연구개발되는 과정에서 압력분포측정 실험 및 기타 상해유발요인을 분석함으로서 스터드의 형태을 변화시키는 과정에 있어서 축구장 바닥과 축구화 겉창과의 마찰력이 중요한 변수로 작용하였다. 징이 선수들의 미끄럼을 방지하고 순발력을 향상시켜 경기력 향상에 결정적인 도움을 준 것이다. 이후 징박힌 축구화가 보편화하면서 선수들은 공격수냐 수비수냐 또는 잔디 상태에 따라 징의 개수와 길이가 다른 축구화를 신게 되었는데, 그라운드 컨디션에 따라 신발이 개발되었다. 축구화는 징의 종류에 따라 길고 푹신한 잔디($5{\sim}7$월 잔디)에 신는 50(soft ground)형, 짧고 단단한 잔디(가을철 잔디)에 적합한 FG(firm ground)형, 인조잔디나 아주 짧은 잔디에 좋은 터프(Turf)형, 맨땅에 쓰는 HG(hard ground)형으로 대별되는데, SG형은 15mm가 넘는 마그네슘 징을 6개 박는데 순발력과 파워를 극대화하기 때문에 수비수에 어울리는 스타일이다. 짧은 플리우레탄 징 12개를 다는 FG형은 넓은 그라운드 접촉면을 이루면서도 잔디에 깊게 박히지 않아 유연성을 필요로 하는 공격수와 미드필더들에게 애용된다. 그라운드 상황이 좋지 않은 곳에서 뛰는 국내 고교, 대학 선수들은 12개의 징이 달린 축구화를 선호한다. 스터드가 많을 수록 그라운드에 닿는 면적이 넓어 안정감도 있고 발목이 꺾이는 현상을 줄여주기 때문이다. 지금까지의 연구현황은 압력분포 및 지면반력실험을 이용한 결과치를 이용하여 새로운 타입의 축구화 스터드의 개발결과를 기존결과와 비교 분석하여 상해유발발생요인이 적은 스타일의 스터드를 선호하였다. 이에 향후 연구개발시 운동역학적 연구의 디자인 시 상해유발요인분석과 운동역학적 연구결과의 조합을 결과를 비교분석해서 국내에서도 축구화 겉창 스터드 연구개발시 경기력을 향상시키고, 상해유발요인을 감소시킬 수 있는 연구디자인이 지속되는 것이 중요하다고 사료된다.

In this study, we performed experimental tests on five SP-100 aluminum powder epoxy specimens with several after-curing conditions in order to estimate their hardness with temperature and compressive strength. In the surface hardness test, it was found that the higher the after-curing temperature, the higher was the hardness. In particular, it was found that the hardness of the specimens in cases 3 and 4 was much higher than in the other cases. In addition, in the compression tests carried out to evaluate the compressive strength, it was found that the specimens showed relatively similar stiffness and strength with after-curing, and specimens with no after-curing showed compression stress-strain curves similar to those of thermoplastic resins.

In this study, polybutadiene based di-functional urethane acrylate oligomer (PB-UAO) were synthesized from polybutadiene diol and isophorone diisocyanate. And then, pressure sensitive adhesive films were prepared by mixing with synthesized oligomer, tri-functional acrylate monomer (Tris(2-acryloyloxyethyl) isocyanurate (TAOEIC) or Trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA) or Pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA)), mono-functional acrylate monomer (Stearyl acrylate) and UV initiators. Effects of types and contents of trifunctional acrylate monomers on peel strength, tensile strength, elongation, thermal stability and water absorption property were studied. As the contents of tri-functional acrylate monomer increased, and as the molecular weight of tri-functional acrylate monomer decreased, peel strength, elongation and water absorption showed a tendency to decrease whereas tensile strength and thermal stability showed a tendency to increase.

In this study, composite materials were prepared by varying the content of glass fiber and bamboo fiber in PP/glass fiber/bamboo fiber. Experiments were conducted to confirm the mechanical properties(tensile, impact and burst strength) and volatile organic compound content of the bamboo fiber composite prepared under these conditions. An improvement in the main properties was observed at a fiber content of 30wt%. When the fiber fraction was increased above 30wt%, the mechanical properties tended to decrease due to the agglomeration of fibers at higher load fractions. In addition, the content of volatile organic compounds increased as the content of bamboo fibers increased, which is thought to be due to the volatile organic compounds generated during the manufacturing process of the composite material being present in the composite material without escaping from the pores of the bamboo fibers and volatilizing at a certain temperature. As a result of confirming the physical properties of the composite, it is considered that the optimal mixing condition is 30wt% of bamboo fiber for the composite produced by varying the amount of bamboo fiber composite. In the future, it is thought that follow-up experiments to confirm and improve the pre-treatment conditions for reducing the content of volatile organic compounds in the manufactured composite material are possible.

In this study, we present a research method to develop a shoe that prevents foot injury by inducing the foot pressure. An orthogonal grid sensor was used to check the foot pressure in the upright standing position, and the change in the foot pressure distribution for various conditions was compared. We checked the conditions for distributing foot pressure efficiently by changing the spring constant of the spring inserted into the sole of the shoe and the foot pressure generated with or without the arch of the insole. In order to minimize the experimental error from the randomness of the human body's behavior, it is possible to predict through foot pressure under certain conditions through finite element analysis that simulates the pressure distribution. By checking the change of foot pressure according to the number and arrangement of springs through finite element analysis, conditions were established to provide more efficient foot pressure. The result can be used for designing footwear for patients with diabetic feet.

Objective: The purpose of the study was to compare the acceleration and shock attenuation (SA) of the runners with/without low back pain (LBG vs. NLBG) while running at 2.5 m/s, 3.0 m/s, 3.5 m/s and 4.0 m/s. Method: 15 adults without low back pain (age: 23.13±3.46 years, body weight: 70.13±8.94 kg, height: 176.79±3.68 cm, NLBG) and 7 adults with low back pain (age: 27.14±5.81 years, body weight: 73.10±10.74 kg, height: 176.41±3.13 cm, LBG) participated in this study. LBG was recruited through the VAS pain rating scale. All participants ran on an instrumented treadmill (Bertec, USA). Results: The LBG shows statistically greater vertical acceleration at the distal tibia during running at 3.5 m/s and 4.0 m/s and greater shock attenuation from the distal tibia to the head during running at 3.5 m/s compared with the NLBG during running (p<.05). As the speed increased, there was a statistically significant increase in vertical/resultant acceleration and shock attenuation for both groups. Conclusion: The findings indicated that the runners with low back pain (LBG) experience greater impact and shock attenuation compared with non-low back pain group (NLBG) during fast running. However, it is still inconclusive whether high impact on the lower extremity during running is the main cause of low back pain in the population. Thus, it is suggested that the study on low back pain should observe the characteristics of impact during running with individuals' low back pain experience and clinical symptoms.

In this study, self-healable waterborne polyurethane (SH-WPU) as shoes and coating materials with self-healable disulfide functionalities was synthesized by mixing polyether polyol to impart excellent durability and heat resistance and polycarbonate polyol to impart excellent mechanical properties. The synthesized SH-WPU was characterized by fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), and physical and self-healing properties were confirmed through universal testing machine (UTM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) measurements. Tensile strength and hardness were increased and elongation was decreased by using polycarbonate polyol. In addition, as a result of comparison of thermal properties, thermal stability has been increased as the content of polycarbonate polyol increased. The healing efficiency showed the highest efficiency when poly(tetramethylene ether)glycol : polycarbonate polyol = 0.75 : 0.25, and it was confirmed that the damaged part was healed through surface observation using a microscope and SEM.

In this study, the polyurethane acrylates (PUA) resin with good adhesive and flexibility for adhesive for shoes and clothing were synthesized using that poly(tetramethylene adiphate glycol) (PTAd), poly(tetramethylene ether glycol) (PTMG) as polyester polyol and polyether polyol respectively, including 4,4'-methylene diphenyl diisocyanate (MDI), isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI), 1,4-butandiol (1,4-BD), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA) and dibutyl amine (DBA). The effect of polyol blend in the polyurethane acrylate on thermal and mechanical properties, adhesion strength and flexural strength were studied. The glass transition temperature (T_g) of PUA was confirmed in range of -70~-40 ℃. In addition, the glass transition temperature (T_g), decomposition temperature (T_d), tensile strength adhesion strength and heat resistance were increased as increasing of PTAd amount while the elongation, water resistance and flexural properties were decreased. The synthesized polyurethane acrylate with 5:5 ratio of PTAd and PTMG indicated the highest adhesion strength and flexural properties.
