Gamma-C₂S (γ-C₂S) is a substance that is difficult to react with water under normal temperature but can absorb a large amount of CO₂ in the air. The addition of γ-C₂S to cementitious materials through the curing of CO₂ can improve the pore structure and improve the durability of the material. In this study, three kind of Ca-bearing materials : CaO, Ca(OH)₂, CaCO₃, were calcined 2.5h at 1450℃ to synthesize γ-C₂S after mixing with SiO₂ respectively. Among them, Ca(OH)₂ mixed with SiO₂ after calcining shows highest content. Synthesized γ-C₂S was added to the cement mortar, after water curing for 1 month, accelerated carbonation test was experimented. After 28d accelerated carbonation test, pore structure will be detectived by MIP. Based on the MIP result, following the calculation method of Fractal theory, the pore structure will be quantitative described.

Corrosion of the rebar is one of the main factors affecting the durability of reinforced concrete in the world which lead to the failure of the reinforced concrete structures. In this research, a new method of fixing $CO_2$ is practiced to improve the carbonation resistance of the concrete. Brucite($Mg(OH)_2$), a kind of common $CO_2$ fixation materials, was added into ordinary Portland cement paste. Samples containing 0%, 5%, 10%, and 15% $Mg(OH)_2$ were exposed to an accelerated carbonation curing regime with 20% concentration of $CO_2$, 60% relative humidity, and a temperature of $20^{\circ}C$ until tested at 3d, 7d, 14d and 28d. After 28d of $CO_2$ accelerated curing, in the paste containing $Mg(OH)_2$, magnesian calcite was detected by SEM-EDX. Meanwhile, the paste containing $Mg(OH)_2$ exhibit the better pore distribution than ordinary Portland cement paste and the compressive strength of the cement paste containing $Mg(OH)_2$ were more than 50Mpa.

In this study, the degradation properties by temperature stress of $Araldite^{(R)}$ rapid-curing epoxy resin used for inorganic cultural heritages, was identified. The tensile and tensile shear strength of durability decreased for 12,624 hours at temperatures of $40{\sim}60^{\circ}C$. In terms of stability of external stress and temperature, the slow-curing epoxy was superior to the rapid-curing epoxy, and cultural heritage conservation plans should therefore consider the strength and stress properties of restoration materials. Color differences increased for 12,624 hours at temperatures of $40{\sim}60^{\circ}C$, and glossiness decreased. Both color and gloss stability were weak, which necessitates the improvement of optical properties. Thermal properties (weight loss, decomposition temperature, and glass transition temperature) of adhesives are linked to mechanical properties. Interfacial properties of the adherend and water vapor transmission rates of adhesives are linked to performance variation. For porous media (ceramics, brick, and stone), isothermal and isohumid environments are important. For outdoor artifacts on display in museums, changes in physical properties by exposure to varying environmental conditions need to be minimized. These results can be used as baseline data in the study of the degradation velocity and lifetime prediction of rapid-curing epoxy resin for the restoration of cultural heritages.

High-early-strength-concrete (HESC) made of Type III cement reaches approximately 50-70 % of its design compressive strength in a day in ambient conditions. Experimental investigations were made in this study to observe the effects of temperature, curing time and concrete strength on the accelerated development of compressive strength in HESC. A total of 210 HESC cylinders of $100{\times}200mm$ were tested for different compressive strengths (30, 40 and 50 MPa) and different curing regimes (with maximum temperatures of 20, 30, 40, 50 and $60^{\circ}C$) at different equivalent ages (9, 12, 18, 24, 36, 100 and 168 h) From a series of regression analyses, a generalized rate-constant model was presented for the prediction of the compressive strength of HESC at an early age for its future application in precast prestressed units with savings in steam supply. The average and standard deviation of the ratios of the predictions to the test results were 0.97 and 0.22, respectively.

An ACR/HMMM film was prepared by blending high-solid ACR with curing agent, hexamethoxymethyl melamine (HMMM). An active curing reaction was observed at $170^{\circ}C$. The dynamic viscoelastic $T_{g}$ of the final film increased with the static viscoelastic $T_{g}$ of the film. The log damp value, which means a viscoelastic ratio, decreased with the increase in the curing temperature of the film. Physical properties of the films were within a suitable range for films, and by an accelerated weathering resistance test the films were proved weather resistible ones.

This study aims to develop non-sintered cement that can replace the Portland cement by utilizing industrial by-products. As a suggestion, the physical properties of non-sintered cement mortar depending on the curing method were investigated with ground granulated blast furnace slag, class C fly ash, and class F fly ash. As a result of the study, it was found that the strength performance and absorption rate were improved through the heat treatment process after steam curing. It was confirmed through crystal phase analysis that the hydration was accelerated after heat treatment, and the bonding material formed a dense internal structure.

In this paper, tests were carried out to monitor the effect of the curing temperature on autogenous shrinkage of the high strength cement mortar incorporating silica fume, blast furnace slag and fly ash ranged from 10%~30% by mass of cement. The curing temperatures were varied from $5^{\circ}C$ to $35^{\circ}C$, respectively. According to results, the setting time exhibited to delay with increase of admixture and drop of temperature. As for the effect of curing temperature on autogenous shrinkage, the increase of SF and BS resulted in an increase of autogenous shrinkage, while the use of FA decrease. The higher the curing temperature is, the greater the autogenous shrinkage is. This is due to the accelerated hydration rate of cement. It is found that the maturity does not consider the effect of curing temperature on autogenous shrinkage.

Substituted dicyandiamide(Sub-DICY), Accelerated dicyandiamide(Acc-DICY), Trimellitic anhydride(TMA), Pyromellitic dianhydride(PMDA) and Phenolic curing agent(Ph.C.A.) are mainly used for epoxy powder coating curing agent. Various characteristics of epoxy films fully cured by optimum condition such as mechanical properties like $T_g$, tensile strength, elongation at break hardness, abrasion resistance and chemical properties like water absorption, acid resistance, alkali resistance and electrical properties, corrosion resistance are determined by various measuring devices and analyses devices. In conclusion, phenolic curing agent was shown excellent thoughness but severe color change as temperature increased. Acid anhydride has excellent insulation properties and color stability at elevated temperature but lower thoughness and adhesion to substrate. DICY curing agent was shown high water absorption and severe color chance as temperature increased.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the carbon capture capacity of various inorganic materials. For this purpose, the change in property of ordinary Portland cement (OPC), blast furnace slag fine powder (GGBS), and circulating fluidized bed boiler ash (CFBC) due to carbonation were analyzed. Carbonation curing was performed on all specimens through the accelerated carbonation experiment, and the amount of carbon capture was quantitatively analyzed by thermogravimetric analysis according to the age of carbonation. From the results, it is confirmed that the carbon capture capacity was shown in all specimens. The carbon capture amount was shown in the order of CFBC, OPC, and GGBS. The 28-day carbon capture of CFBC, OPC, and GGBS was 3.9%, 1.3%, and 9.4%, respectively. Carbon capture reaction occurred rapidly at the beginning of carbonation, and occurred slowly with increasing age. SEM image analysis revealed that an additional product generated by carbonation curing in all specimens was calcium carbonate.

Fresh ginger harvested in Seosan, Choongchengnam-do, was used to investigate the pretreatment effect before long-term storage. Wounded ginger were cured at the temperature of 25, 30, $35^{\circ}C$ and the RH 83 and 93% for 1, 3, 5, 7 days, respectively Then the cured ginger were stored in the laboratory scale storage room ($12^{\circ}C,$ 95% RH) in order to find out the optimum curing condition. At a constant temperature and a RH. the longer ginger were cured, the more their weight was decreased; at a constant temperature and a curing period, the higher RH was, the less weight was lost. During the curing process, sprouting rate was accelerated at temperature higher than $30^{\circ}C$ and humidity higher than 90%; mold growing was observed at any temperature and humidity, but especially at $35^{\circ}C$ the rate was relatively faster when the curing time was increased. Hardness of wound surface cured at 93% RH was relatively higher than those cured at 83% RH at all temperatures. The weight loss of store ginger after curing was $2.0{\sim}8.2$ after 30 days and $7.2{\sim}14.2%$ after 60 days storage. Compared with all results through a screening procedure, the condition of 3-days curing at $25^{\circ}C$ and 93% RH showed th best result for minimizing quality changes during storage.
