Bio-based polyester polyol was synthesized via esterification between azelaic acid and isosorbide. After esterification, bio-based polyurethanes were synthesized using polyester polyol, 1,3-propanediol as the chain extender, and 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate, in mixing ratios of 1:1:1.5, 1:1:1.8, 1:1:2, and 1:1:2.3. The bio TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) samples were characterized by using FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), TGA (Thermal Gravimetric Analysis), DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimetry), and GPC (Gel Permeation Chromatography). The mechanical properties (tensile stress and hardness) were obtained by using UTM, a Shore A tester, and a Taber abrasion tester. The viscoelastic properties were tested by an Rubber Processing Analyzer in dynamic strain sweep and dynamic frequency test modes. The chemical resistance was tested with methanol by using the swelling test method. Based on these results, the bio TPU synthesized with the ratio of 1:1:2.3, referred to as TPU 4, showed the highest thermal decomposition temperature, the largest molecular weight, and most compact matrix structure due to the highest ratio of the hard segment in the molecular structure. It also presented the highest tensile strength, the largest elongation, and the best viscoelastic properties among the different bio TPUs synthesized herein.

In this study, biocomposite filaments with agricultural by-products can be used in extrusion-based 3D (Three-dimensional) printing. Extrusion-based 3D printing stands as a promising technique owing to its versatility. We hypothesized that bio-filament composite consisted of something derived from agricultural by-products could be used as 3D printing materials that could overcome the drawbacks of PCL (poly-caprolactone). Bio-filament mixed with PCL and agricultural by-products was defined as r-PCL in this study. In order to find it out the optimal mixing ratio of filaments, we had investigated PCL, r-PCL 10%, r-PCL 20%, r-PCL 50% separately. The morphological and chemical characteristics of the filaments were analyzed by FE-SEM (Field emission scanning electron microscope) and EDX (Energy-dispersive X-Ray spectroscopy), and the mechanical properties were evaluated by stress-strain curve, water contact angle, and cytotoxicity analysis. Results of this study have been shown as a promising way to produce eco-friendly bio-filaments composite for FDM (Fused deposition modeling) method based 3D printing technology. Thus, we could establish biomimetic scaffolds based on bio-printer filaments mixed with agricultural by-product.

셀룰로오스계 천연섬유인 kenaf를 천연고무와 함께 균일하게 배합한 후 압축성형 방법을 사용하여 천연섬유/천연고무 복합재료를 제조하였으며, 이들의 가황거동, 경도, 인장특성, 인열강도 및 정적, 동적 특성에 미치는 kenaf 섬유함량의 영향을 조사하였다. 복합재료를 구성하는 천연섬유의 함량은 천연고무 및 배합제 대비 0, 5, 10, 15, 20 phr이었다. 실험결과 천연고무의 여러 가지 특성이 kenaf 섬유의 함량에 의존한다는 것을 나타내었다. Kenaf 섬유함량이 증가함에 따라 천연고무의 가황에 요구되는 토크는 높아진 반면 가황시간은 감소되었다. Kenaf/천연고무 복합재료의 경도, 인장탄성률과 인열강도는 섬유함량이 증가할수록 점차적으로 증가한 반면, 인장강도와 파단신장률 은 감소하는 경향을 보여주었다. 또한 kenaf 섬유함량이 증가함에 따라 천연고무의 정적 특성보다는 동적 특성의 변화가 더욱 크게 나타났다. 고무에 가해지는 에너지의 감쇄 또는 흡수와 밀접한 관계가 있는 손실인자도 섬유함량에 비례하여 증가하였다.

The viscoelastic properties of blends of melamine-formaldehyde (MF) resin and poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) for engineered flooring used on the Korean traditional ONDOL house floor heating system were investigated by dynamic mechanical thermal analysis (DMTA). Because MF resin is a thermosetting adhesive, the effect of MF rein was shown across all thermal behaviors. The addition of PVAc reduced the curing temperature. The DMTA thermogram of MF resin showed that the storage modulus (E') increased as the temperature was further increased as a result of the cross-linking induced by the curing reaction of the resin. The storage modulus (E') of MF resin increased both as a function of increasing temperature and with increasing heating rate. From isothermal DMTA results, peak $T_{tan{\delta}}$ values, maximum value of loss modulus (E") and the rigidities (${\Delta}E$) of MF/PVAc blends at room temperature as a function of open time, peak $T_{tan{\delta}}$ and maximum loss modulus (E") values were found to increase with blend MF content. Moreover, the rigidities of the 70:30 and 50:50 MF/PVAc blends were higher than those of the other blends, especially of 100% PVAc or MF. We concluded that blends the MF/PVAc blend ratios correlate during the adhesion process.

Ti metal has superior mechanical properties along with biocompatibility, but it still has the problem of bio-inertness thus forming weaker bond in bone/implant interface and long term clinical performance as orthopaedic and dental devices are restricted for stress shielding effect. On the other hand, despite the excellent biodegradable behavior as being an integral constituent of the natural bone, the mechanical properties of ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate $(Ca_3(PO_4)_2;\;{\beta}-TCP)$ ceramics are not reliable enough for post operative load bearing application in human hard tissue defect site. One reasonable approach would be to mediate the features of the two by making a composite. In this study, ${\beta}$-TCP/Ti ceramic-metal composites were fabricated by spark plasma sintering in inert atmosphere to inhibit the formation of $TiO_2$. Composites of 30 vol%, 50 vol% and 70 vol% ${\beta}$-TCP with Ti were fabricated. Detailed microstructural and phase characteristics were investigated by FE-SEM, EDS and XRD. Material properties like relative density, hardness, compressive strength, elastic modulus etc. were characterized. Cell viability and biocompatibility were investigated using the MTT assay and by examining cell proliferation behavior.

To investigate the influence of the carbon matrix on the electrochemical performance of Si/C composites, four types of Si/C composites were prepared using graphite, petroleum coke, pitch and sucrose as carbon precursors. A ball mill was used to prepare Si/C blends from graphite and petroleum coke, whereas a dispersion technique was used to fabricate Si/C composites where Si was embedded in disordered carbon matrix derived from pitch or sucrose. The Si/pitch-based carbon composite showed superior Si utilization (96% in the first cycle) and excellent cycle retention (70% after 40 cycles), which was attributed to the effective encapsulation of Si and the buffering effect of the surrounding carbon matrix on the silicon particles.

용융점이 $138^{\circ}C$인 Bi-Sn 혼합합금 주입방법을 이용한 용융합금주입목재복합체의 제조를 통해 목재의 단점인 치수 안정성과 내구성의 개선을 하고자 3가지 주요 침 활엽수 수종의 수종별 최적주입조건을 구명하고, 주입에 따른 금속주입목재복합체의 중량증가율, 열전도도, 전기저항 등의 물리적 성질과 기계적 성질을 실험하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 금속주입목재의 최적처리 조건은 $185^{\circ}C$, 진공시간 10분 조건하에서 radiata pine의 경우 $10kgf/cm^2$ 가압시간 2분 30초, red oak는 $30kgf/cm^2$, 가압시간 10분, white oak는 $50kgf/cm^2$, 가압시간 10분에서 최적의 주입조건을 나타냈다. 2. 금속주입목재복합체의 외관적 특징은 전체적으로 재색은 회백색을 나타냈으며, 목재의 무늬를 그대로 유지하고 있다. 3. 침엽수 수종인 radiata pine은 저온용융합금주입처리로 인해 중량증가율은 12배, 밀도는 $6.13g/cm^3$으로 15배나 증가하였으나, 인테리어용으로 주로 사용되는 red oak와 white oak 등의 활엽수의 경우 목재해부학적 특성으로 의해 radiata pine보다는 낮은 5~6배의 밀도증가율을 나타냈다. 4. 주입된 목재는 침 활엽수 모두 금속주입으로 인해 수분흡수율과 두께팽윤율이 현저히 감소하였고, 매우 높은 치수 안정성을 나타냈으며, 금속주입목재복합체의 휨강도, 휨영계수, 경도 및 전기전도도와 열전도도 등도 무처리목재보다 매우 크게 향상되었다.

To address the need for new intelligent sensing, this paper introduces nano sensors made of carbon nanotube (CNT) composites and presents their preliminary experiments. Having smart material properties such as piezoresistivity, chemical and bio selectivity, the nano composite can be used as smart electrodes of the nano sensors. The nano composite sensor can detect structural deterioration, chemical contamination and bio signal by means of its impedance measurement (resistance and capacitance). For a structural application, the change of impedance shows specific patterns depending on the structural deterioration and this characteristic is available for an in-situ multi-functional sensor, which can simultaneously detect multi symptoms of the structure. This study is anticipated to develop a new nano sensor detecting multiple symptoms in structural, chemical and bio applications with simple electric circuits.

A method of functionalization of multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) at room temperature using dry ozone gas is described. The resulting MWNT were characterized by Fourier transform infrared, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and scanning electron microscopy. Combined to these analyses and solubility in liquids, it could be concluded that the dry ozone gas exposure introduces polar functional groups such as carboxylic groups to MWNT similar to acidic modification of MWNT. Particularly, the stable dispersion of MWNT in water after ozone treatment above a critical level could be obtained, implying potential bio-application. The hydrophilic functional groups on the MWNT introduced by ozone oxidation were helpful in improving the interaction with functional groups in PA6 such as $-NH_2$ and -CONH- resulting in improved mechanical properties.
