In the present study, temperature and frequency dependences of ultrasonic properties such as attenuation coefficient and phase velocity was investigated for six kinds of commercial MC-Nylon polymer samples. The ultrasonic properties of the samples were measured by using a pulse transmission method in water over a broadband frequency range of 2 to 8 MHz. Water temperature was varied from 10 to $60^{\circ}C$ with the $10^{\circ}C$ interval. The attenuation coefficients of the samples increased with the frequency and the exponent n of frequency dependence ranged within 1.16 to 1.44, slightly deviating from the linear dependence (n=1). The phase velocities of the samples exhibited negative dispersion, i.e., decreasing velocity with increasing frequency, except for ivory sample at $60^{\circ}C$. The frequency-dependent phase velocities of the samples showed the decreasing tendency with increasing temperature.

The lubricant impregnated MC nylon has good frictional properties, but its mechanical strength is inferior to steel for the mechanical elements. For the tribological application Nylon as gears, sliding bearings, cam and etc, the steel shafts are fitted in pre-heated nylon cylinder by a process of interference expansion fit and bonded by induction heating method. The joint shear strength of the two materials was measured by a universal test machine. From the study, the adhesive shear strength between these two materials was affected by the factors of the interference between nylon and steel, the size of nylon cylinder, knurl of steel shaft and inducting heating conditions. The most effective jointing conditions were analyzed and decided for the practical application in the industry.

We investigated the flame retardancy and the mechanical properties of Nylon6 by using melamine-based halogen-free flame retardants(melamine cyanurate:MC-100 and melamine phosphate:MP-100). We chose the UL-94 method for flame retardancy and measured the tensile strength, flexural strength, flexural modulus by using UTM and impact strength by using Izod impact tester. We also tested the effect of nano-clay on flammability and mechanical properties. We obtained the V0 grade when the concentration of flame retardant was over 5 wt%. The tensile strength and flexural strength decreased and flexural modulus increased with the concentration of both flame retardant systems. The results showed that MC-100 system was better than MPP-100 system. Because of poor dispersion, we did not obtain the synergistic effect of nano-clay.

Although engineering plastics that are light-weight and have excellent mechanical performance have been widely applied in various industries in place of steel structures to reduce the burden of cost and time, there have been few studies related to their surface roughness. This study aims to evaluate the optimal effects of feed rate, cutting speed, and depth of cut as cutting parameters as well as nose angle on the surface characteristics of MC nylon in CNC lathe machining. To determine the best conditions under different nose radii, the experiments were performed based on the Taguchi L9(34) orthogonal array method, in which the resulting data was analyzed using the S/N ratio and ANOVA. Results indicate that the most significant contribution was feed rate followed by nose angle and cutting speed, whereas the depth of cut did not influence the performance. This study demonstrates that the suggested method for improving the surface finishing of MC nylon is efficient compared with results obtained from experimentation and prediction.

The joint method and characteristics of lubricant Impregnated MC nylon and metal are analyzed. Considering the productivity and economics, two materials are Joined with the process of turning, knurling, and induction heating. The Joint strength is determined by adhesion of the melted nylon, the size of knurl, and the interference from the difference of the diameters. The parameters affecting induction heating process are analyzed. The adhesion strength of the melted nylon is measured. Finally the joint strength is analyzed in the environments of low, room, and high temperature. The nylon/metal Joined material is expected to be widely used as the sliding machine elements with good friction and shear strength.

In this paper, we present the design and measurement of a side-fed circularly-polarized patch antenna with a dielectric loading. The antenna consists of a comer-truncated rectangular patch, an L-shaped ground plane, a dielectric loading material, and a coaxial probe. An antenna operating at the UHF band (910 MHz) for the RFID reader applications is optimized using a commercial software. The size of the patch is reduced by a factor of 1.73 by loading the patch with mono-cast(MC) nylon. Measurements of the fabricated antenna show performance characteristics comparable to those of much larger commercial RFID reader antennas.

The distilled water is used for the ultrasonic wave propagating material in the measurements of broadband ultrasonic attenuation (BUA) that is applied in industrial and medical applications, The acoustic impedance of water is significantly changed with its temperature. Therefore, the quantitative evaluation of BUA with temperature and the ultrasonic wave propagating distance is highly needed. In this study, we evaluated the variation of attenuation with change in temperature. To measure the variation of BUA in the low frequency region at the temperatures, 27$^{\circ}C$, 29$^{\circ}C$, and 31$^{\circ}C$, we tested the Plyethylene, Teflon, MC-Nylon, Urethane specimens and analyzed the center frequency, frequency bandwidth, spectral peak amplitude. The results showed that BUA value appeared to be lower with increasing temperature. This may be due to the fact that the frequency feature of ultrasonic wave is affected by not only the specific gravity, acoustic impedence, but material crystalline, porosity, the distance of ultrasonic wave propagation in water.

A triaxial Blumlein pulse forming line has been designed to generate a pulse whose voltage is ~300 kV, pulse duration is ~5 ns, and rise time is ~500 ps. It turns out, however, that the rise time of the pulse becomes much longer than 500 ps due to parasitic inductances and capacitances existing inside the system. A peaking switch has been developed to shorten the rise time of the pulse from Blumlein pulse forming line. In the peaking switch, a wedge-shaped dielectric material (MC 901 nylon) is employed to surround the electrode on the antenna side. This shape inhibits an abrupt change of the output impedance, thereby minimizing the reflection of the output pulse. Experimental results show that the peaking switch is capable of improving the rise time of the pulse at a level of 500 ps.
