The purpose of this study is to evaluate the adhesive properties of polyurethane mixed aqueous dispersions by omitting the primer, dealing with the preparation of skins for synthetic leather with excellent adhesion by omitting the pre-treatment process. The two-component mixed polyurethane water dispersion was prepared by synthesizing an ester-based polyurethane resin (PU-T) and a carbonate-based polyurethane resin (PU-C) to obtain the final resin. As a result of measuring the peel strength of the adhesive specimens omitting the pre-treatment agent, it was confirmed that the state adhesive strength (ethylene vinyl acetate (middle): $4.2kg_f/cm$ and rubber (outsole): $4.4kg_f/cm$) there was. This makes it possible to omit the pre-treatment process which has been indispensably used in the shoe manufacturing process, thereby reducing the process time and reducing the amount of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) generated in the pre-treatment product, resulting in environmentally advantageous.

The recycling of waste resources, such as spent catalysts, primarily involves leaching and extracting metal components via smelting. These metal components are then recovered as salts, such as sulfates and nitrates. When crystallization occurs during the calcination of the recovered salts, the salts are converted into oxides, which are then reduced to form metals or ceramic materials. Common reducing agents used in oxide reduction include hydrogen and carbon, and metal powders are obtained upon reduction. Carbide synthesis can occur if the recycled element is a transition metal and carbon is used as the reducing agent. Despite being ceramic materials, transition metal carbides exhibit excellent conductivity owing to their metallic bonding. Recently, MXene, a two-dimensional transition metal carbide, has gained attention for electromagnetic wave shielding, secondary battery electrodes, and water purification owing to its electrical conductivity and large surface area. This study developed a process for synthesizing high-value MXene materials from waste resources. The properties of these MXenes were evaluated to confirm the potential of using waste resources as raw materials for MXenes.

SPE-composites which was prepared with impregnation-reduction method for hydroen production were investigated with morphological and electrochemical analysis. As Pt reagent's concentration increased, Pt loadings increased. However, reductant's concentration had a little effect on Pt loadings. By the morphological analysis, it was found that Pt was deposited inside of SPE. Furthermore, with electrochemical analysis, we found that Pt loading, electricity, roughness factor and active surface area were $2.05mg/cm^2$, 14.20 mC, 21.55, $10.51cm^2/mg$ respectively at reducing agent concentration 0.05 mol/L. Therefore, we found the deposited Pt inside of SPE would give an effect on electrical characteristics of SPE-composites.

Hydro-Reactive metal Fuel (HRF) which has more fuel than general solid propellant reducing oxidizing agent is suitable for ultrahigh speed rocket motor in the water. However, burning rate of HRF has not been studied yet. Through the earlier studies, we established ultrasonics measurement system measuring burning rate of solid propellant as a function of pressure in a single test and verified its reliability. In this paper, we will measure burning rate of HRF using ultrasound with previous development measurement system.

In this study, the MMA-modified paste mixed waste rubber powder, which has a small elastic modulus and a large modification, was produced by using the soft unsaturated polyester resin(UP) as a binder. Then the adhesive properties according to the matrices in both underwater and air-dry conditions and the hardening shrinkage according to the contents of shrinkage reducing agent(SRA) and of MMA were surveyed. The experimental results show that, regardless of humidity of matrices the adhesive strength of polymer concrete was larger than cement concrete. the adhesive strength of MMA content of 20% was larger than MMA content of 30%. regardless of matrix materials the adhesive strength in water condition were $20{\sim}30%$ comparing with the air-dry condition. The case of MMA content of 20% showed the largest adhesive strength. In the hardening shrinkage experiment, the hardening shrinkage reduced as MMA and SRA contents increased, and the decrease of the hardening shrinkage by SRA was larger.

In this study, the potential capacity of the crude extract and its solvent fractions from S. siliquanstrum against adipocyte differentiation were evaluated in 3T3-L1 adipocytes. The anti-adipogenic effect of S. siliquanstrum was evidenced by the fact that its crude extract decreases the lipid accumulation of differentiating cells and the expression levels of crucial adipogenesis markers, peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor $(PPAR){\gamma}$ and CCAAT/enhancer-binding protein $(C/EBP){\alpha}$. All solvent fractions except the water fraction showed an observable decrease in lipid accumulation and $PPAR{\gamma}$ and $C/EBP{\alpha}$ expressions. In conclusion, these results suggest that S. siliquanstrum possesses obesity inhibiting components, which may possibly be used as a valuable anti-obesity agent for reducing the risk of obesity.

The author previously reported that the addition of inuloprebiotics to broiler diets produces growth performance that is superior to antibiotic supplementation. The present study furthered this work by evaluating the quality with thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) of the meat from chickens fed inuloprebiotics produced using Korean Jerusalem artichoke. Male Ross 308 broilers (n=240) were randomly allotted to a 35 day regimen of dietary control (no supplementation), dietary antibiotics supplementation (8 mg avilamycin/kg diet), or dietary inuloprebiotic supplementation (450 mg inuloprebiotics/kg diet). The pH, water holding capacity, L*value (lightness), and b*value (yellowness) of the chicken meat weres ignificantly higher in the inuloprebiotic group. The TBARS value of chicken meat stored at low temperature tended to increase according to the length of storage, and was significantly lower in the inuloprebiotics group. The sensory scores of the cooked chicken meat were significantly higher in the inuloprebiotics group. The results indicate that the addition of inuloprebiotics as anantimicrobial agent to broiler diets can greatly improve the quality and self-life with reducing TBARS of chicken meat.

Fine powders of amorphous $Al_2O_3,\;SiO_2,\;Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ system were prepared by hydrolysis of solutions containing alkoxides, aluminium tri-isopropoxide and silicon tetra-ethoxide. High purity ultrafine ${\beta}-sialon$ powders were prepared by the carbothermal reduction-nitridation of amorphous $Al_2O_3-SiO_2$ powders mixed with carbon black as a reducing agent. In the hydrolysis step the effect of the factors such as pH, reaction temperature and amount of water on the conversion rate of alkoxides to oxides was investigated. In the carbothermal reduction-nitridation the reaction path was assumed by the analysis of intermediates formed in the process of ${\beta}-sialon$ synthesis and the reaction kinetics of ${\beta}-sialon$ formation was considered.

This is to show some basic data for introducing both circulated aggregate and recycled powder producing waste concrete. Standard-mixing design for 24MPa has been basically used and added and replaced normal aggregate with recycled powder made of waste concrete. In addition, polycarboxylate high-range water reducing agent has been used because recycled powder is missing adhesive strength and it is not compare with cement's adhesive strength. Compressive strength with powder mixture of 2%, 4%, 6%, 8%, and 10% has been decreased down to 80% of normal concrete material strength without recycled powder mixture. This result has same decreasing proportion to tensile strength of the material. Resistant capacity change of beam varying with recycled powder mixture has been decreased down to 60% of normal concrete bean capacity, while there are 80% decrease of material strength. But strength and capacity change has same consistent decrease ratio. It is found that recycled powder with approximately 15% unit concrete volume can be replaced with cement in reasonable admixture mixing condition.
