Nanocomposites are used as a new class of polymer system and many researchers have been interested in the clay nanocomposite because of its good mechanical properties, heat resistance, flame retardancy, and barrier property. Modified layered silicates as fillers are dispersed at a nanometer-level within a polymer matrix and then new extraordinary properties are observed. In this study, polypropylene/clay nanocomposites were prepared in a twin screw extruder by the melt compounding method. In order to increase the compatibility of PP with the clay, the MAPP was used as a compatibilizer. And organic modified clays were used as a nanometric filler during the melt extrusion. Through the analysis of SAXS, WAXS, the dispersion of clay was investigated. These nanocomposites compared with a neat polypropylene/talc composite have high modulus, low toughness, and reduced shrinkage at the stable dispersion.

In Activated Sludge Model, COD fraction of primary settled municipal wastewater was a very important parameter. In this study, the COD fraction was determined using the oxygen utilization rate experiments. Readily biodegradable COD ($S_S$) fraction was observed about 29.7% of influent TCOD. $S_I$, $X_I$, and $X_S$ were analyzed to be 7.6%, 7.3%, and 55.4% of TCOD, respectively. The model used in this study was developed based on ASM3 and modified Bio-P module in order to simulate the existing BNR process. Parameter estimation results showed that $Y_{STO,O2}$, $Y_{STO,NO}$, $Y_{H,O2}$, $Y_{H,NO}$, $Y_{PO4}$, ${\mu}_H$, $b_H$, ${\mu}_A$, $q_{PHA}$, $q_{PP}$ and ${\mu}_{PAO}$ were 0.7, 0.64, 0.61, 0.48, 0.31, 3.9, 0.1, 1.35, 4.98, 1.8 and 0.59, respectively. Using the presented model and the estimated parameters, the simulation of the existing BNR process was successfully conducted.

This paper presents a hybrid algorithm to solve the multi-objective path planning (MOPP) problem for mobile robots in a static nuclear accident environment. The proposed algorithm mimics a real nuclear accident site by modeling the environment with a two-layer cost grid map based on geometric modeling and Monte Carlo calculations. The proposed algorithm consists of two steps. The first step optimizes a path by the hybridization of improved ant colony optimization algorithm-modified A^* (IACO-A^*) that minimizes path length, cumulative radiation dose and energy consumption. The second module is the high radiation dose rate avoidance strategy integrated with the IACO-A^* algorithm, which will work when the mobile robots sense the lethal radiation dose rate, avoiding radioactive sources with high dose levels. Simulations have been performed under environments of different complexity to evaluate the efficiency of the proposed algorithm, and the results show that IACO-A^* has better path quality than ACO and IACO. In addition, a study comparing the proposed IACO-A^* algorithm and recent path planning (PP) methods in three scenarios has been performed. The simulation results show that the proposed IACO-A^* IACO-A^* algorithm is obviously superior in terms of stability and minimization the total cost of MOPP.

폴리염화비닐(polyvinyl chloride, PVC)은 자동차 내장재(도어 트림 및 대쉬 보드 등)에 아주 널리 사용되고 있으나 특정조건에서 유해물질을 배출하므로 규제가 되는 소재로 알려져 있다. 그러므로 열가소성 폴리올레핀계 고분자인 폴리프로필렌(polypropylene, PP)이 자동차 내장재 부분에서 PVC를 대체할 수 있는 중요한 재료로 부각되고 있다. PP(비정영역:0.855, 결정영역:$0.946g/cm^3$)의 또 다른 장점은 PVC($1.1{\sim}1.45g/cm^3$)에 비해 밀도가 낮으므로 자동차의 중량을 줄일 수 있다는 것이다. 한편 모든 부품은 표면보호와 미관상 코팅이 반드시 필요하며, 그들을 조립하는데 접착제가 필요하다. 지금까지 주로 사용해 온 용제-베이스의 접착제/코팅제의 경우 휘발성 유기화합물(volatile organic compounds, VOC)의 발생과 열악한 작업 환경으로 환경친화적인 수성 접착제/코팅제의 수요가 증가하고 있다. 이러한 맥락에서 본 연구에서는 소수성 고분자 PP에 적용되는 환경친화적인 다양한 수분산 폴리우레탄-우레아 선처리제(primer: 마감도료가 기질에 보다 잘 접착될 수 있도록 선처리하는 도료)를 이온성분 dimethyl propionic acid (DMPA) 함량별, 다양한 NCO/OH 몰비, 변성 실리콘 디올의 다양한 함량 및 소프트세그먼트 함량 등의 여러 배합으로 제조하였다. 제조된 시료 중 DMPA 함량 21 mol%, 소프트세그먼트 함량 73%, 변성 실리곤 디올 5 wt% 및 NCO/OH 몰비 1.2를 사용한 시료가 기질 PP 시트와의 접착력이 우수하였으며, 첨가제는 분산제 0.5 wt%, 레벨링제 0.5 wt%, 소포제 1.5 wt% 및 소광제 3.0 wt%가 가장 적합한 첨가 함량임을 알 수 있었다.

Digital holographic reconstruction method [W. A. Veronesi, et al, 1989, JASA, Vol. 85, pp. 588∼598] reconstructs a whole sound field by using measured sound pressure. This paper reports numerical errors of the method that occur at specific frequencies. The errors occur due to the truncation errors included in the calculation of transfer matrixes. The frequencies of the errors depend on the size of boundary element surfaces. Moreover, a modified calculation technique is proposed in the paper. The technique prevents the truncation errors by employing an indirect calculation procedure.

This paper presents a 4-channel common-cathode VCSEL driver array operating up to 6.25 Gb/s per channel for the applications of HDMI 2.0 active optical cables. The proposed VCSEL driver consists of an input buffer, a modified Cherry-Hooper amplifier as a pre-driver, and a main driver with pre-emphasis to drive a common-cathode VCSEL diode at high-speed full switching operations. Particularly, the input buffer merges a linear equalizer not only to broaden the bandwidth, but to reduce power consumption simultaneously. Measured results of the proposed 4-channel VCSEL driver array implemented in a $0.13-{\mu}m$ CMOS process demonstrate wide and clean eye-diagrams for up to 6.25-Gb/s operation speed with the bias current 2.0 mA and the modulation currents of $3.1mA_{PP}$. Chip core occupies the area of $0.15{\times}0.1{\mu}m^2$ and dissipate 22.8 mW per channel.

Exfoliated nanocomposites of polypropylene/layered silicate were prepared by a melt compounding process using maleic anhydride modified polypropylene (PP-g-MAH) and organoclay. It was found that polypropylene/layered silicate nanocomposites exhibited remarkable reinforcement compared with the pure polypropylene or conventional composite filled with agglomerated organoclay. The polypropylene /layered silicate nanocomposites showed stronger and earlier shear thinning behaviors and outstanding strain hardening behavior than pure polypropylene or other conventional composites in shear and uniaxial elongational flows, respectively. We simulated rheological modeling for the pure polymer matrix and polypropylene/layered silicate nanocomposite in shear and elongational flows using K-BKZ integral constitutive equation. The two types of K-BKZequations have been examined to describe experimental results of shear and uniaxial elongational viscosities of pure polypropylene and polypropylene/layered silicate nanocomposite.

We propose an improved partial response maximum likelihood (PRML) detector with the branch value compensation of Viterbi decoder for asymmetric high-density optical channel. Since the compensation value calculated by a survival path is applied to each branch metric, it reduces the detection errors by the asymmetric channel. The proposed PRML detection scheme improves the detection performance on the $2^{nd},\;3^{rd}\;and\;4^{th}$ order PR targets for asymmetric optical recording channel.

Poly(ethylene terephthalate), polyimide(Kapton), and polypropylene surfaces were modified with argon low temperature plasma by RF glow discharge at 240m Torr, 40W to investigate the surface morphological changes due to the plasma treatment using atomic force microscopy(AFM). Analysis of the AFM images and Ra(average roughness) revealed that the plasma treatment resulted in significant ablation on the surfaces. The morphological changes and surface roughness, however, were different depending on material characteristics such as heat stability, presence of amorphous region, swelling phenomenon, and molecular structure of repeating unit. It was assumed that polypropylene due to its tertiary hydrogen was ablated easily compared to poly(ethylene terephthalate), and that polyimide was more resistant to the ablation than PET due to rigid skeleton of imide and stable phenyl ring structure.

AC electric railway feeding system classifies into three groups such as normal, TIE and PP feeding method. If the feeding scheme of ac electric railway is changed, current distribution flowing through the line is also modified. And if the current distribution is altered according to the feeding scheme, returned tendency through rail load current or fault current of the train is changed. So the investigation about error correcting method of protective relay is needed considering feeding scheme. In this paper prior to error correcting of protective relay, through interpreting feeding circuit, changes in current distribution of the rail in accordance with feeding would be predicted and analyzed.
