Proper amount of entrained air and nip force should be also considered to minimize ballooning phenomenon since tight contact between a roller and web is required. In this paper, various web materials, PET(Polyester) and OPP(Oriented Poly Propylene) have been selected and investigated to satisfy high-speed printing requirement. Several web speeds, web tensions, and temperature conditions are imposed on each web materials and the pressure and gap profiles as well as nip force have been calculated. Increase of both the winding roller radius and the incoming wrap angle is considered under proper taper tension at 500 m/min of rewinding roller. By solving coupled Reynolds equation and web deflection equation simultaneously, the fluid-structure interaction process has been developed and is applied to the rewinding roller to investigate the ballooning phenomenon which causes guiding problems in high-speed printing performance conditions. By adjusting the linear taper tension, stress distribution between rewinding webs can be remarkably reduced and stable pressure and gap profile with ignorable ballooning phenomenon have been found.

Offset paper printing is a promising roll-to-roll technique for color printed materials. Although it is no doubt that understanding ink transfer mechanism in offset printing process is necessary to achieve high printing quality, investing the relationship between inks and substrates at the nip is difficult experimentally due to high printing speed. In this paper, rheological behavior and splitting point of the ink at the nip is studied using package software Ployflow and Flow 3D based on Navier-Stokes equation. Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) ink and IGT printability tester were used for an model ink and experiment to compare with that of simulation data, respectively. As a result, higher viscosity at state flow and pressure increased ink transfer due to higher possibility of presence of cavitation at the nip and increase in covering area ratio. These results have shown good agreements with experimental data compared by measuring density of print through.

Papers loaded with 10-40% $TiO_2$ by dry weight were calendered under the various combinations of calendering conditions such as calender type, linear pressure, and roll temperature. After being calendered, light scattering coefficient, surface roughness, density, and tensile strength of the papers were measured and the results were summerized as follows: 1. To increase the light scattering coefficient of $TiO_2$-highly-loaded paper further by calendering, the calender roll pressure and temperature should be kept low. Under these conditions, the physical strength of the paper was not significantly affected. 2. At low roll temperature, soft nip calender and machine calender type showed the same relationship between paper density and its roughness. At high roll temperature, soft nip calender type gave much lower roughness than machine calender type at the same density. 3. At high roll temperature of both calenders, the density as well as the tensile strength of the TiO$_2$-loaded paper was increased significantly.

Printed mottle of coated paper is one of the most common but the most difficult problem in offset printing. Printed mottle is caused by an uneven penetration of Ink into the paper, binder migration, etc. For a high quality printing, development of new paper coating technologies to prevent print mottle is required. So for, the study of solving printed mottle is coated paper absorption controlled by base paper sizing and coating layer binder migration control. As a results, printed mottle has improved in coated paper. But printing is worked by interaction of printing ink, coated paper and printing pressure, then we need to understand of interaction printing work and coated paper. This research focused on a way of improving printed mottle by investigating various printing conditions such as ink dispersion, nip condition and amount of ink transfer using IGT printability tester.

Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) has revolutionized the fabrications of electronics, photonics, optical and biological devices. Among all the NIL processes, roll-to-roll nanoimprinting is regarded best for having the attributes of low cost, continuous, simple, and energy-efficient process for nanoscale device fabrication. However, large-area printing is limited by the master mold deformation. In this study, a finite element model (FEM) has been constructed to assess the deformation of the roll mold adhesively wrapped on the carbon fiber reinforced material (CFRP) base roll. This study also optimizes the deformations in the metallic roll mold with respect to nip-forces applied in the printing process of nano-fabrication on large scale. The numerical simulations were also conducted to evaluate the deflection in roll mold assembly due to gravity. The results have shown decreasing trend of the deformation with decreasing nip-force. Also, pressure uniformity of about 40% has been optimized by using the current numerical model along with an acceptable deflection value in the vertical axis due to gravity.

Interlace textured yarn was developed in order to increase weaving process efficiency. Today, interlace texturing is very useful method of manufacturing the high added value compound yarns for new synthetic fabrics. In this research, new silky type high added value compound yarns were. manufactured by interlace texturing technology and tested their properties. The object of this research is to investigate the relationship between interlace textured yarn properties and processing parameters that is air pressure, yarn tension and take-up speed. The original filament yarns used were TTD(Thick & Thin Semi-Dull) 110d/72f and SCD(Semi-Dull Cation Dyeable) 75d/36f. 27 specimens were manufactured and tested for their physical properties-nip density, tensile properties, multi-step shrinkage test and surface structure by SEM. The air pressure was main process condition to change properties of interlace textured yarns. And interlace textured process had influence on weaving preparation process, weaving, knitting and so on. It has some influence on shrinkage properties of dyeing and finishing processes.

This study was performed to identify the effect of calendering variables on the properties of coated paper such as sheet gloss, surface roughness, opacity, etc. The effect of calendering variables including the number of nips, pressure, machine speed and moisture content on the properties of coated paper was investigated. The calender was installed with two steel rolls and one cotton-made roll. With this calender, the coated sheets were passed through the calender from 1 to 4 times, applying the linear pressure on calender rolls, 5 through 100kg/cm and operating the machine speed 3 to 12m/min. Also, the moisture content of coated sheet was varied about 5 and 10%. It was found that sheet gloss and surface roughness of coated paper was increased with increasing the number of passing nips, linear roll pressure and the moisture content of coated paper. But it was shown that the opacity and brightness of coated paper were decreased under the above conditions due to the blackening. It was also suggested that the soft nip possibly increased the thermoplasticity of coating layer with the heat of steel roll, resulting in the reinforcement of surface properties positively. The sheet gloss and surface roughness of coated paper could be improved by the longer dwell time over the rolls.

A change of z-directional structural and surface properties by calendering has a great influence on liquid penetration into a sheet. It could be also important for multi-ply sheet because it contacts liquid dunhg coating or converting process. Therefore, this study was aimed to evaluate of a change of z-directional structure in multi-ply sheet by calendering. To do this, multi-ply sheets were prepared with various raw materials and calendered at the different pressure and temperature conditions. In multi-ply sheet which consisted of one kind of pulp fiber, thickness reductions were higher in top and bottom plies than in middle plies. And in the case of soft nip calender treatment with high temperature, top layer which was in contact with heating roll showed the highest reduction of thickness. Hard nip calender treatment showed U-shaped density profile in z-direction, but compression profile by SNC treatment was dependent on calendering condition. To examine z-directional structure of multi-ply sheet which was composed of different raw material for each layer, CLSM (Confocal Laser Scanning Microscopy) analyses were carried out on cross direction of sheet. It turned out to be a useful tool for investigating z-directional analysis. As a result, variation of thickness reduction in z-direction is dependent on ply structure, compressibility of pulp fiber, and calendering condition.
