Fully-grown flocs in a mixing tank of membrane filtration with dead-end membrane are ruptured while passing through a pump and the ruptured flocs are aggregated again in a Membrane-Feed-Pipe (MFP). To look at more details, this study tries to relate the reaggregation to a parameter of mixing intensity in MFP, i.e., G-value. The G-value is a function of Reynolds number, pipe diameter, friction factor and average velocity in MFP. To deal with polydispersity condition, we develop a representative particle size called in this study EDPD (Effective Diameter for Polydispersity condition in Dead-end filtration). The experimental results show that as the G-value increases, the EDPD decreases and also the cake resistance increases. Through comparison between EDPD and cake resistance, these results show that cake resistances are controlled by reaggregation phenomenon in MFP. The effect of detention time in MFP, however, does not affect the reaggregation of the broken flocs as G-values are increased.

Cake resistance is influenced by floc size deposited on membrane surface. Enlarging floc size can reduce cake resistance. The small particles are enlarged by coagulation and flocculation process in conventional mixing tank at membrane filtration system. Fully-grown flocs for reducing the cake resistance, however, are ruptured while passing through a pump. In light of this fact, this study aims to experimentally look at the reaggregation phenomenon of mixing system. In addition, reaggregation phenomenon of mixing system is compared with first-aggregation of in-line injection system in which coagulant is injected just before a pump. These results suggest that first-aggregation of in-line injection system is better than reaggregation of mixing system for G-value above $3100sec^{-1}$. Since G-value in pipe of actual membrane filtration system are usually larger than $3100sec^{-1}$. The performance of in-line injection system is expected to be better than the conventional mixing tank system.

Until now, research reports that it is difficult for brokenup floc after coagulation to reaggregate and settling efficiency of reaggregated floc is relatively low have dominated in water treatment process. In contrast, from recent study conducted by the French researcher, because the density of the reaggregated floc was higher than the previous floc, the settling efficiency of reaggregated floc increased. In this study, 15 times wet test were carried out and the removal efficiency of reagrregated floc was considerably increased. Moreover, this result was explained using the turbulent model for the flow occurred around the floc. Consequently, in the case of suitable hydrodynamic condition for the reaggregation, the characteristics of the reaggregated floc was changed into the favorable condition for improvement of settling efficiency. Also, the most important factor for reaggregation of floc was governed by hydrodynamic shear stress.

In order to examine correlation between silane coupling agent and activator which affects the physical properties of silica filled natural rubber compound, such as heat buildup, rebound property, dynamic mechanical and morphological properties were measured. With incorporation of silane coupling agent, $tan{\delta}$ at $0^{\circ}C$ was increased and at $60^{\circ}C$ was decreased, which resulted in improving of wet grip and rolling resistance. When silane coupling agent which is corresponding to 8~10% of silica was used, most favorable heat build up and $tan{\delta}$ was obtained. And also when activator was used, dispersibility of silica was improved as a result of reduction of reaggregation of silica.

Electrical properties of a fluorinated carbon black (CB)-filled high-density polyethylene (HDPE) polymeric switch were investigated as a function of fluorination pressure at 0.1 ~ 0.4 MPa. From the FT-IR results, the absorption spectra of the fluorinated CB show an absorption band at 1400 ~ 1000 $cm^{-1}\;for\;{\nu}_{C-F}$ and the peak intensity increased with increasing fluorination pressure. Also, the analysis of XPS spectra of the fluorinated CB indicated that fluorine content increased with increasing fluorination pressure. Meanwhile, the surface free energy of the fluorinated CB decreased with increasing fluorination pressure. Consequently, the increase of fluorine contents of CB made a disappearance of negative temperature coefficient (NTC) behavior of the polymeric switch, which was probably due to the reduction of CB reaggregation after melting point of the HDPE, resulted from the decreasing of London dispersive component of the surface free energy for CB particles.

본 연구에서는 PTC 소자의 NTC 현상을 제거하기 위하여 카본블랙을 0.1-0.4 MPa의 압력으로 불소처리 한 후 이를 이용하여 카본블랙/HDPE 전도성 컴파운드를 제조하였다. 불소처리한 카본블랙의 표면특성 변화는 FT-IR, XPS 그리고 접촉각 측정을 통하여 확인하였다. FT-IR실험 결과, 불소처리된 카본블랙은 1400-1000 cm$^{-1}$ 영역에서 C-F 피크를 나타내며 처리압력이 증가할수록 C-F 피크의 세기가 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한, XPS 분석을 통해 불소처리 압력이 증가할수록 카본블랙 내의 불소의 함량이 증가함을 확인하였다. 그러나, 불소처리된 카본블랙의 표면자유에너지는 처리압력이 증가할수록 감소하였다. 결과로서, 카본블랙의 불소 처리를 통해 카본블랙/HDPE 컴파운드의 NTC 현상이 사라졌는데, 이는 카본블랙의 표면자유에너지 감소가 수지의 융점 이후 일어나는 카본블랙 입자간의 재결합을 방해하기 때문이라 사료된다.

입자강화복합재료에 관한 연구는 오래 전부터 수행되어왔다. 최근 활발한 연구가 이루어지고 있는 나노복합재료도 역시 입자강화복합재료의 한 종류라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 섬유강화 복합재료의 모재로서 사용되어질 수 있는 다중벽탄소나노튜브/에폭시 복합재료를 제작하고 그 물성을 고찰하였다. 본 연구에서 정립한 제작 공정을 사용하여 제작 된 다중벽 탄소나노튜브/에폭시 복합재료의 인장 물성을 MWNT의 첨가량에 따라 고찰하였다 0.5wt%의 MWNT를 첨가 하였을 때, 인장강성은 19%, 인장강토에서는 12%의 증가를 보였다. 또한 경화시 발생하는 재응집 현상을 관찰하고, 기계적 물성을 더 높이 항상시키기 위해서는 이 현상을 억제해야 함을 확인하였다.

Pigments with minute particle sizes, such as carbon black (CB) and pigment red 48:2 (P.R.48:2), are the most important types of pigment and have been widely used in many industrial applications. However, minute particles have large surface areas, high oil absorption and low surface energy. They therefore tend to be repellent to the vehicle and lose stability, resulting in significant increases in viscosity or reaggregation in the vehicle. Therefore, finding the best way to improve the dispersion properties of minute particle size pigments presents a major technical challenge. In this study, minute particle types of CB and P.R.48:2 were treated with nitrogen gas plasma generated via radio frequency-plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF-PECVD) to increase the dispersion properties of minute particles in deionized (DI) water. The morphologies and particle sizes of untreated and plasma treated particles were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). The average distributions of particle size were measured using a laser particle sizer. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy was carried out on the samples to identify changes in molecular interactions during plasma processing. The results of our analysis indicate that N2 plasma treatment is an effective method for improving the dispersibility of minute particles of pigment in DI water.
