The rheological properties of complex materials such as polymer melts show complicated non-Newtonian flow phenomena when they are subjected to shear flow. These flow properties are controlled by the characteristics of flow units and the interactions among the flow segments. The non-Newtonian flow curves of poly(vinyl alcohol) hydrogel were obtained in various concentrations and temperatures by using a cone-plate rheometer. By applying non-Newtonian flow equation to the flow curves for PVA hydrogel samples, the rheological parameters were obtained. The PVA hydrogel samples are shear thinning under increasing shear rate modes which result in thixotropic behavior.

The self diffusions and hole volumes of amorphous region of poly(acrylonitrile)-poly(vinyl chloride) fibers were investigated by experiments of stress relaxation. The experiments of stress relaxation were carried out using the tensile tester with the solvent chamber. The flow parameters of filament fibers were obtained by applying the experimental stress relaxation curves to the theoretical equation of stress relaxation. From the flow parameters, the hole volumes, self diffusions, viscosities and thermodynamic parameters of solid polymers were calculated. It was observed that the flow parameters of these samples are directly related to the hole volumes, self diffusions and flow activation energies of flow segments.

Semiconductive polyaniline and its derivatives such as poly(aniline-co-sodium diphenylamine sulfonate), poly (aniline-co-o-ethoxyaniline), poly (o-methylaniline), and poly (o-methoxyaniline) were synthesized, and then adopted as suspending particles of the electrorheological (ER) fluids. All suspensions of these polyaniline derivatives showed typical ER properties under high applied electric fields. However, flow behaviors are observed to be quite different depending on the polyaniline derivatives, especially in the stress plateau regions obtained at low shear rates. Using a scaling law, we also obtained universal cures of ER fluids from the flow curves at each applied electric field based on the relationship between the dynamic yield stress with the applied electric field and flow curve changes according to the electric fields.

본 논문에서는 ICP Poly Etcher를 이용한 Dry Etch에서 몇가지 공정조건의 변화에 따른 Etching 특성 변화를 연구하였다. 주요 가스유량들이 증가 할 때, Poly-Si 의 Etch rate는 증가 하였으며 Uniformity는 나빠진 것을 확인 할 수 있었고 다른 특성들은 특별한 변화를 보이지 않았다. 주요 Gas인 HBr의 증가는 PR(Photo Resist)와 Uniformity에 영향을 주었다. 이 논문을 통해 HBr의 유량이 Poly-Si Etching에 영향을 주는 결과를 알아 볼 수 있었고 HBr 가스의 유량 증가가 Polymer의 생성에 영향을 줘 Selectivity와 Uniformity를 증가 시킨다는 것도 확인 해 볼 수 있었다.

This paper describes the mechanical properties of poly (Polycrystalline) 3C-SiC thin films with $N_2$ in-situ doping. In this work, the poly 3C-SiC film was deposited by APCVD (Atmospheric Pressure Chemical Vapor Deposition) method using single-precursor HMDS (Hexamethyildisilane: $Si_2(CH_3)_6)$ at $1200^{\circ}C$. The mechanical properties of doped poly 3C-SiC thin films were measured by nono-indentation according to the various $N_2$ flow rate. In the case of 0 sccm $N_2$ flow rate, Young's Modulus and hardness were obtained as 285 GPa and 35 GPa, respectively. Young's Modulus and hardness were decreased according to increase of $N_2$ flow rate. The crystallinity and surface roughness was also measured by XRD (X-Ray Diffraction) and AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy), respectively.

The surface rheological properties of polymer monolayer show complicated non-linear viscoelastic flow phenomena when they are subjected to spreading flow. These spreading flow properties are controlled by the characteristics of flow units. The kinetics of the formation of an interfacial film obtained after spreading poly(diisobutylene maleic acid) at air-water interface were studied by measuring of the surface pressure with time. The experimental data were analyzed theoretically according to a nonlinear surface viscoelastic model. The values of dynamic modulus, static modulus, surface viscosities and rheological parameters in various area/ monomer were obtained by appling experimental data to the equation of nonlinear surface viscoelastic model.

Recently, there are many efforts focused on development of Redox Flow Battery (RFB) for large energy storage system. Economical hydrocarbon membranes alternative to fluorinated membranes for RFB membrane are receiving attention. In this study, characteristics of poly(arylene ether sulfone) (PAES) were compared with expensive fluorinated membrane at VRB (Vanadium Redox Flow Battery) operation condition. Permeability of vanadium ion through membrane, ion exchange capacity (IEC), change of OCV, swelling, charge-discharge curves and energy efficiency were measured. PAES membrane showed lower permeability of vanadium ion, higher IEC and then higher energy efficiency compared with Nafion 117 membranes.

The rheological parameters of poly(methyl acrylate)-poly(acrylonitrile) copolymers were obtained by applying the experimental stress relaxation curves to the theoretical equation of the Eyring-Halsey non-Newtonian model. The experimentals of stress relaxation were carried out using the tensile tester with the solvent chamber. The determination of rheological parameters was performed from computer calculation. It was observed that the rheological parameters of these copolymer samples are directly related to the self diffusions and viscosities and activation energies of flow segments.

Turbulent drag reduction (DR) efficiency of water soluble poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with two different molecular weights was studied as a function of polymer concentration and temperature in a turbulent flow produced via a rotating disk system. Its mechanical degradation behavior as a function of time in a turbulent flow was also analyzed using both a simple exponential decay function and a fractional exponential decay equation. The fractional exponential decay equation was found to fit the experimental data better than the simple exponential decay function. Its thermal degradation further exhibited that the susceptibility of PEO to degradation increases dramatically with increasing temperature.

Precise control of oxidizer mass flow rate is important for hybrid rocket thrust control. In this study, oxidizer mass flow rate control system is developed by using stepping motor which is controlled by Labview program. Gox is used for oxidizer and PolyCarbonate, PolyEthylene, and PMMA is used for solid propellant. To suppress thrust oscillation during thrust control experiment, schematics of the experiment is analysised and revised. Results show that thrust oscillation is suppressed successfully.
