The gas permeability behavior of unsaturated bentonite-based materials is of major importance for ensuring effective sealing of high-level radwaste repositories. This study investigated this by taking a sample of Granular Bentonite Material (GBM) at the end of the Engineered Barrier Emplacement (EB) experiment in the Opalinus Clay, placing it under different humidity conditions until it achieved equilibration, and testing the change in the gas permeability under loading and unloading. Environmental humidity is shown to have a significant effect on the water content, saturation, porosity and dry density of GBM and to affect its gas permeability. Higher sensitivity to confining pressure is exhibited by samples equilibrated at higher relative humidity (RH). It should be noted that for the sample at RH=98%, when the confining pressure is raised from 1 MPa to 6 MPa, gas permeability can be reduced from 10^-16 m² to 10^-19 m², which is close to the requirements of gas tightness. Due to higher water content and easier compressibility, samples equilibrated under higher RH show greater irreversibility during the loading and unloading process. The effective gas permeability of highly saturated samples can be increased by 2-3 orders of magnitude after 105℃ drying. In addition, cracks possibly occurred during the dehydration and drying process will become the main channel for gas migration, which will greatly affect the sealing performance of GBM.

건축물 에너지 효율등급제도, 건축물 에너지 소비증명제 등 건축물 에너지 관련 법 제도가 지속적으로 강화되면서, 이에 대응하기 위한 고성능 단열재, 기능성 유리를 적용한 창호의 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 에너지 절약을 위한 기능성 유리의 중요성이 크게 부각되고 있음에 따라 진공유리에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 진공유리의 핵심공정 중 모서리 접합공정은 진공유리의 기밀성, 강도, 형상에 있어 매우 중요한 공정이다. 본 논문에서는 수소혼합가스를 이용하여 전기로 내부에서 두 장의 유리를 접합하였다. 공정변수에 따른 접합유리의 강도와 형상을 측정 및 분석 하였으며, 다구치 실험계획법을 이용하여 접합유리의 강도를 예측하였다. 추가실험을 통해 예측 값과의 오차율을 확인함으로서 실험의 타당성을 검증하였다.

The current solution to the problem of using cementitious material for sealing purposes in a final radioactive waste repository is to develop a low-pH cement grout. In this study, the material properties of a low-pH cement grout based on a recipe used at ONKALO are investigated by considering such factors as pH variation, compressive strength, dynamic modulus, and hydraulic conductivity by using silica fume and micro-cement. From the pH measurements of the hardened cement grout, the required pH (< pH 11) is obtained after 130 days of curing. Although the engineering properties of the low-pH cement grout used in this study are inferior to those of conventional high-pH cement grout, the utilization of silica fume and micro-cement effectively meets the long-term environmental and durability requirements for cement grout in a radioactive waste repository.

In keeping with the needs of the times for energy and labor saving and simplifying production processes, interests has been growing in warm forging. Moreover, it is interested in increasing the material usage and production amounts. To improve the productivity and material usage, it is studied the process design of warm forging for socket. Until now, socket is manufactured by hot forging in hammer. The percentage of material usage is under $60\%$ in hammer forging. On the other han4 the percentage can be increased over $90\%$ in warm forging. To change the process from hot forging to warm forging, process designs must be performed. In this time, by using the FEM package, DEFORM-3D, we could get the shape of 1st process and minimum sealing pressure. They are very essential design data to decrease the trial and error. Practically, the overlap defect could be detected and eliminated with design modification of rib height and fillet radius. Moreover, forging load and minimum sealing pressure was defined by the 3D FEM analysis.

치근단 수술의 성공 여부는 적절한 역충전 재료와 충전 기법을 선택하여 근단부를 밀폐하는 데 달려있다. 역충전 재료는 확실한 밀폐를 제공하고 양호한 치유를 얻기 위하여 여러가지 물리화학적 특성들이 요구되는데 현재까지 MTA는 기존의 재료들이 가지지 못한 전례없는 우수한 장점을 갖추어 역충전 재료의 gold standard로써 사용되어 왔다. 그러나 이러한 MTA도 경화시간이 길고 조작이 어렵다는 단점이 있어 최근에는 이러한 단점을 개선한 premixed putty type bioceramic material이 개발되었다. 또한 이러한 재료를 활용하여 역충전 와동을 효율적으로 충전하기 위한 'Lid technique'이 함께 제안되었다. 본 증례 보고는 치근단 수술에서 premixed putty type material과 Lid technique을 활용한 증례에 대하여 소개하고자 한다.

고온의 가스유로를 조절하는 개폐식(On-Off)밸브의 구동축과 라이너 사이에 위치하여 구동장치로의 고온 가스유입을 방지하는 기밀 소재에 대하여 연구하였다. 기밀 소재로 사용된 그라파이트(Graphite)는 구동장치에 의한 구동축의 지속적인 움직임으로 인해 마모가 발생한다. 본 논문은 고온가스 조절 밸브 내의 기밀 소재로 사용된 그라파이트(Graphite, HK-6)에 대한 상 고온 마모 특성을 평가하였다. 구동축의 소재인 레늄합금(W-25Re)에 대하여 그라파이트의 마모 시험을 수행하고 마찰계수와 비마모율을 비교하였다. 상온과 실제 작동 환경인 고온 $485^{\circ}C$에서 미끄럼속도와 접촉하중의 변화에 따른 마찰계수와 비마모율을 평가하였다. 마모표면의 SEM 분석을 통하여 상 고온 마모표면에 관찰되는 third body 를 확인하고 이로 인한 윤활효과를 고찰하였다.

본 연구는 computerdisk drive와 VTR head에 사용되어 지고 있는 ferrite head cores의 gap 형성에 적합한 유리의 봉착특성에 관하여 고찰하였다. 유리의 특성측정은 열팽창 계수, 미세경도, 내마모성을 측정하였으며 계면에서의 원소 농도분포는 WDS에 의해 관찰하였고 젖음성은 고온 현미경으로 측정하였다. 그 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. $PbO-B_2O_3$계 봉착용 유리에 있어서 PbO의 함량이 증가함에 따라 열팽창계수와 마모량이 증가하였으며 $B_2O_3$함량이 증가함에 따라서는 열팽창계수와 마모량이 감소하였다. 2. $PbO-B_2O_3$계 유리에 있어서 contact angle은 PbO함량에 주로 영향을 받는다. 3. 열팽창계수의 증가에 따라 봉착온도는 비례적으로 낮아지는 경향을 나타내었다. 4. Mn-Zn single crystal ferrite와 $PbO-B_2O_3$계 봉착용유리의 융착 계면에서의 확산은 ferrite성분이 glass측으로 소량확산이 이루어졌으며 봉착 열처리 시간에 따라서는 거의 영향을 받지 않았다.

The hydraulic cylinder seals are used not only to protect leakage of the working fluids but also to prevent incoming of foreign particles into the system. Chromium plating is generally applied to improve corrosion and wear resistance. It has been noticed that sealing surface damage occurs due to the hard foreign/wear particles contained in the hydraulic oil. In this study, a three-bodied sliding contact problem related with a PTFE seal, a spherical particle and chrome-plated steel substrate is modeled to investigate the relations to wear mechanism. Using the nonlinear finite element software, MARC/MENTAT, the deformed shapes, the von Mises and first principal stress distributions with plating thickness were compared. The sealing surface was mainly abraded by hard particles embedded in the seal. The plastic deformation of the steel substrate decreased with thicker plating. Hence it could be more effective to coat the sealing surface of a hydraulic cylinder with a hard material such as TiN, TiC and DLC.

$V_2O_5-P_2O_5-ZnO-Sb_2O_3$ glasses modified with BaO and $Al_2O_3$ are synthesized as a sealing material for large-scale dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). A compositional study is performed in order to determine the glass that can be sintered below $500^{\circ}C$ with a high chemical stability against the electrolyte. The flow size of the glasses after the heat treatment and the glass stability are increased with the addition of $Al_2O_3$ and BaO, while the glass transition temperature is decreased. After the reaction with the electrolyte at $60^{\circ}C$ for 72 h, the addition of 5 mol% of BaO and 2 mol% of $Al_2O_3$ considerably enhances the chemical stability of the glass. X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscope (SEM) are used to examine the reaction between the electrolyte and glasses. The structural contribution of the additives is also investigated and discussed.

This paper introduces a biocompatible packaging system for implantable medical device having a hermetic sealing, such that a perfect physical and chemical isolation between electronic medical system and human body (including tissue, body fluids, etc.) is obtained. The hermetic packaging includes an electronic MEMS pressure sensor, power charging system, and bluetooth communication system to wirelessly measure variation of capacitance. The packaging was acquired by Quartz direct bonding and $CO_2$ laser welding, with a size of width $ 6cm{\times}length\;10cm{\times}lheight\;3cm$. Hermetic sealing of the packaged system was tested by changing the pressure in a hermetic chamber using a precision pressure controller, from atmospheric to 900 mmHg. We found that the packaged system retained the same count or capacitance values with sensor 1 - 25,500, sensor 2 - 26,000, and sensor 3 - 20,800, at atmospheric as well as 900 mmHg pressure for 5 hours. This result shows that the packaging method has perfect hermetic sealing in any environment of the human body pressure.
