본 논문에서는 측면이 연마된 단일모드 광섬유와 폴리머 다중 평면도파로가 결합했을 때 발생하는 모드 결합현상을 이용한 능동형 광결합기를 연구하였다. 제안된 소자는 파장가변 광필터나 광변조기로 이용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 광도파로 물질의 굴절률, 복굴절, 전기광학 계수, 열광학 계수 등을 측정하는 도구로 응용할 수 있다. BPM으로 최적화된 결합기를 설계하였고, 열광학 폴리머를 능동 평면 도파로층으로 이용하여 결합기를 제작하였다. 제작된 소자는 -0.5dB 이하 손실, 공진파장 -13dB 소멸비. 그리고 열광학 효과에 의해 -1.5nm/$^{\circ}C$ 정도의 파장 가변성을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과로 볼 때 열광학 능동형 광결합기는 광변조기, 파장가변 광필터, 광센서 등으로 이용될 가능성이 높다.

This study was performed to observe the effects of the feeding physiological activity substance in Cordyceps militaris hot-water extract intake on the improvement of lipid components and metabolic enzyme activities in the serum of dietary hyperlipidemic rats (SD strain, male) fed the experimental diets for 5 weeks. The concentrations of cholesterol (total cholesterol, ${\beta}$-lipoprotein, LDL-cholesterol, free cholesterol and cholesteryl ester), atherosclerotic index, triglyceride (TG), phospholipid (PL) and blood glucose in sera were remarkably lower in the Cordyceps militaris extract intake group than in the hyperlipidemic rats. In the ratio of HDL-cholesterol concentration was higher percentage in the Cordyceps militaris extract intake group than in the hyperlipidemic rats. The activities aminotransferase (AST, ALT) in sera were rather lower in the Cordyceps militaris extract administration than in the hyperlipidemic rats. From the above research, Cordyceps militaris extract were effective on the improvement of the lipid compositions in sera of dietary hyperlipidemic rats.

Rice bran ell was blended with double fractionated palm olein (DF palm olein) to examine the cooking performance of blended oil. A blended oil made with 80% or higher rice bran oil and 20% or less DF palm olein passed the cold test, and had a cloud point of $-3^{\circ}C$. Blending of DF palm olein to rice bran oil lowered the smoke point, refractive index, and absorbancies at 232 and 268 nm of rice bran oil. Dielectric constant of oils was not affected by blending during heating. Blending of DF palm olein , however, increased the acids formation in rice bran oil, whereas it retarded polymer formation. The results of the analytical methods used in this study except dielectric constant measurement showed significant difference among the blended oils depending on the blending ratios.

We successfully prepared high-flow polycarbonate (PC) by blending commercial PC with a low molecular weight PC oligomer. The oligomer was synthesized by the addition of a large quantity of mono functional phenol groups, and the chain end group was reacted with p-tertiary butyl phenol (PTBP) to block the reactivity. The viscosity average molecular weight ($M_v$) for the oligomer was about 4,000-5,000 g/mol, compared to ~19,000 g/mol for the PC blend obtained by blending 10 wt% of the prepared oligomer with the commercial grade PC ($M_v$ of 21,000 g/mol). The blended PC had a melt flow index of 45, which is 2.5 times higher, and a processing temperature that was $20^{\circ}C$ lower, than that of commercial grade PC having a similar $M_v$.

In this study, poly(iso-butyl methacrylate-co-ethylene glycol dimethacrylate) [poly(iso-BMA-co-EGDMA)] microgel was prepared and used as a face powder additive. The spreading, adhesiveness, and skin reactivity of poly(iso-BMA-co-EGDMA) microgel-containing face powder II were investigated and compared with the same properties of commercially available Silica bead 700-containing face powder I. In the results, the particle size of the poly(iso-BMA-co-EGDMA) microgel was significantly swelled as a result of sebum absorption. Face powder II showed a lower primary irritation index and a higher adhesiveness than did face powder I. Face powder I showed a low sebum absorption ratio and a relatively high rate of sebum absorption, whereas face powder II, contrastingly, exhibited a high sebum absorption ratio and a low rate of sebum absorption, which properties would reduce the phenomena of facial strain and sliminess. These results indicate that poly(iso- BMA-co-EGDMA) microgel has outstanding sebum absorption characteristic and adhesiveness, and thus that it is a good candidate for use as a face powder additive.

This research presents the experimental and theoretical evaluations on circular steel-fiber-reinforced-concrete (SFRC) columns reinforced by glass-fiber-reinforced-polymer (GFRP) rebar under the axial compressive loading. Test programs were designed to investigate and compare the effect of different parameters on the structural behavior of columns by performing tests. Theses variables included conventional concrete (CC), fiber concrete (FC), steel/GFRP longitudinal rebars, and transversal rebars configurations. A total of 16 specimens were constructed and categorized into four groups in terms of different rebar-concrete configurations, including GFRP-rebar-reinforced-CC columns (GRCC), GFRP-rebar-reinforced-FC columns (GRFC), steel-rebar-reinforced-CC columns (SRCC) and steel-rebar- reinforced-FC columns (SRFC). Experimental observations displayed that failure modes and cracking patterns of four groups of columns were similar, especially in pre-peak branches of load-deflection curves. Although the average ultimate axial load of columns with longitudinal GFRP rebars was obtained by 17.9% less than the average ultimate axial load of columns with longitudinal steel rebars, the average axial ductility index (DI) of them was gained by 10.2% higher than their counterpart columns. Adding steel fibers (SFs) into concrete led to the increases of 7.7% and 6.7% of the axial peak load and the DI of columns than their counterpart columns with CC. The volumetric ratio had greater efficiency on peak loads and DIs of columns than the type of transversal reinforcement. A simple analytical equation was proposed to predict the axial compressive capacity of columns by considering the axial involvement of longitudinal GFRP rebars, volumetric ratio, and steel spiral/hoop rebar. There was a good correlation between test results and predictions of the proposed equation.

에틸렌비닐아세테이트(EVA)에 난연성을 부여하기 위해서 일반적으로 무기 난연충전제인 수산화알루미늄(ATH)이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 폐포장재 다층 필름의 재활용 공정에서 부생하는 ATH를 사용하여 EVA에 대한 난연제로서의 특성을 조사하였다. EVA/ATH 복합재료를 two roll-mill을 이용하여 제조하고, 이 복합재료의 난연성 및 물리적 특성을 조사하였다. 난연성은 한계산소지수(LOI) 및 UL-94 평가를 이용하여 확인하였다. EVA 수지에 재활용된 ATH가 150 phr 이상 첨가되었을 때 우수한 난연 특성을 나타내었다. ATH의 입자 크기 및 비표면적이 EVA/ATH 복합재료의 LOI 값 및 UL-94 평가의 등급에 영향을 주는 인자임을 확인하였다. 즉 ATH 입자 크기가 작을수록, 비표면적이 클수록 난연성은 증가되는 것으로 나타났다. 기계적 물성의 경우 실제로 전선 등에 이용되고 있는 가교형 EVA/ATH 복합재료의 경우 재활용된 ATH를 첨가하여도 인장물성은 저하되지 않고 첨가하지 않은 경우와 유사하거나 오히려 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

In-depth understanding of the influence of hot pressing and melt processing on the properties of thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) is critical for effective mechanical recycling of TPU scraps. Therefore, this study focused on the effects of hot pressing and melt mixing on molecular weight (MW), polydispersity index (PDI), melt index (MI), characteristic IR peaks, hardness, thermal degradation and mechanical properties of TPU. The original TPU pellet (o-TPU) showed two broad peaks at lower and higher MW regions. However, four TPU film samples, TPU-0 prepared only by hot pressing of o-TPU pellet and TPU-1, TPU-2 and TPU-3 obtained by hot pressing of melt mixed TPUs (where the numbers indicate the run number of melt mixing), exhibited only a single peak at higher MW region. The TPU-0 film sample had the highest $M_n$ and the lowest PDI and hardness. The TPU-1 film sample had the highest $M_w$ and tensile modulus. As the run number of melt mixing increased, the peak-intensity of hydrogen bonded C=O stretching increased, however, the free C=O peak intensity, tensile strength/elongation at break and average MW decreased. All the samples showed two stage degradations. The degradation temperatures of TPU-0 sample (359 $^{\circ}C$ and 394 $^{\circ}C$)were higher than those of o-TPU (342 $^{\circ}C$ and 391 $^{\circ}C$). While all the melt mixed samples degraded at almost the same temperature (365 $^{\circ}C$ and 381 $^{\circ}C$). The first round of hot pressing and melt mixing was found to be the critical condition which led to the significant changes of $M_n$/$M_w$/PDI, MI, mechanical property and thermal degradation of TPU.
