Abrasive flow machining is useful to abrasive polish a internal or external surface of the free shape dimensional parts, which are used in many fields such as machine tool parts, semi-conductor, and medical component industries. The machining process is that two hydraulic cylinders, which are located surface to surface, are enforce media to the passage between workpiece and tooling part alternately, and then the abrasives included in the media pass the passage and polish the surface of workpiece. The media which is made of polymer and abrasive plays complex have workpiece by its viscoelastic characteristics. In this study, the media for AMF was made by mixing viscoelastic polymer with alumina and silicon carbide abrasive respectively. As a result, alumina include media is also the experiments of deburring the inside burr of in order to analyse the deburring machinability of abrasive flow machining according to various machining parameters which were media flow rate extrusion pressure, passage gap, media viscosity, abrasive content, and abrasive grain size.

Separated normal and waxy rice starches were pulverized, and the physicochemical and digestive properties of the starches were determined. The size of both starch granules significantly decreased (less than $8{\mu}m$) after pulverization. For pasting properties, significant decreases of peak and setback viscosity were observed in both of pulverized starches than in native ones. The lower pasting temperature as well as increased solubility and water binding capacity of pulverized starches imply molecular degradation of starch by pulverization. For thermal properties, onset temperature and melting enthalpy significantly decreased after pulverization, especially in normal rice starch, however there was no difference in amylose-lipid complex before andafter pulverization. The slowly digestible and resistant starch portion of normal rice starch increased after pulverization, however, in waxy rice starch, the rapidly digestible portion increased.

Polystyrene/multi-walled carbon nanotube (PS/MWCNT) composites were prepared by the use of latex technology. The monodisperse PS latex was synthesized by an emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization from styrene/potassium persulfate/water system in the presence of ethanol. The MWCNTs were first treated with acid mixture to eliminate impurities, dispersed in deionized water driven by ultrasonicator, and then mixed with the PS latex. From these mixtures, PS/MWCNT composites were prepared by freeze-drying and subsequent compression molding. In the small-amplitude oscillatory shear experiments, both complex viscosity and storage modulus increased with increasing MWCNT content. A pronounced effect of MWCNT content was observed, resulting in larger storage modulus and stronger yield behavior at low frequencies when compared to unmodified PS. It showed a transition from viscous to elastic behavior with increasing MWCNT content. Over the MWCNT content of 3 wt%, the storage modulus was higher than the loss modulus across all frequencies.

High impact polystyrene (HIPS)/organoclay nanocomposites via in situ polymerization were synthesized and their rheological properties were investigated. For the study, two types of organoclays were used: a commercially available organoclay, Cloisite 10A (C10A), and a laboratory-prepared organoclay having a reactant group, vinylclay (ODVC). The X-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy experiments revealed that the HIPS/ODVC nanocomposite achieved an exfoliated structure, whereas the HIPS/C10A nanocomposite achieved an intercalated structure. In the small-amplitude oscillatory shear experiments, both storage modulus and complex viscosity increased with increasing organoclay. A pronounced effect of the organoclay content was observed, resulting in larger storage modulus and stronger yield behavior in the low frequency region when compared to neat HIPS. The crossover frequencies associated with the inverse of a longest relaxation time decreased as the organoclay content increased. Over a certain value of ODVC content, a change of pattern in rheological properties could be found, indicating a solid-like response with storage modulus greater than loss modulus at all frequencies.

Continuous fermentation process for the production of soluble glucan using mutant Agrobacterium sp. ATCC31750 has been developed in this research. When the concentration of soluble glucan was higher than 6 g/l, the viscosity of the fermented broth was too high and it needs complex separation process to separate from culture broth. Mathematical models which describe the cell growth and glucan production was developed and they kinetic parameters were estimated with experimental data. They are used for the optimization of continuous fermentation process and calculate optimal dilution rate for easy separation of glucan 4 g/l. With continuous fermentation, glucan production rate was increased 1.8 times more than that with batch fermentation.

In the present study, the fluorescence behavior ova phenylethynyl-terminated imide (LaRC PETI-5) resin, a bismaleimide (BMI) resin, and various LaRC PETI-5/BMI blends with different blend compositions has been characterized as a function of heat-treatment temperature, using a steady-state fluorescence technique with a front-face illumination method far solid-state films. It is observed that there are distinguishable changes in the spectral shape, size, and position of fluorescence with varying heat-treatment temperature in the pure and blend samples. The result is qualitatively explained in terms of charge transfer complex formation as well as microenvironmental change with local mobility and viscosity occurring in the LaRC PETI-5, BMI, and their blends during the cure process. The result also implies that a steady-state fluorescence technique may be a useful tool to understand the processing conditions of polyimides and their blends in the film form on the basis of their thermo-photophysical responses.

Mixers are used in various industrial fields where it is necessary to intimately mix two reactants in a short period of time. However, despite their widespread use, complex unsteady flow characteristics of industrial mixers are not systematic investigated. The present study aimed to clarify unsteady flow characteristics induced by various impellers in a tank. Impellers are pitched blade turbine and neo-hydrofoil turbine types. A high speed CCD camera and an Ar-Ion laser for illumination were adopted to clarify the time-dependent flow characteristics of the mixers. The rotating speed of impellers increased from 6Hz to 60Hz by 6Hz. The maximum velocity around PBT impeller is higher than the hydrofoil type impeller. These two types of turbine shows that typical flow characteristics of axial turbine and suitable for mixing high -viscosity materials.

As inverstigating the influence of monomers and photoinitiator in the polymerization rate of photopolymerization by using IR spectroscopy, photopolymerizations initiated by ultraviolet radiation are characterized by the presence of an autoacceleration in the polymerization rate as the reaction proceeds. The conversion for the end of the autoacceleration varies considerably depending on the monomer and reaction condition which determines coil size and viscosity. In UV curable systems, the autoacceleration begins at only a few percent conversion and continues to 40% in HEA solution and 60% conversion in EHA solution. The polymerization ate in HEA solution increased as follow; DMHA > HCPK > DMPA and could be explained by the interaction between the initiating radical and HEA monomer and the size of the photodissociated radical of initiator. But the tendency of autoacceleration in EHA solution is almost independent on initiator.

Powder Injection Molding(PIM) has recently been recognized as an advanced manufacturing technology for low-cost mass production of metal or ceramic parts of complicated geometry With this regards, design technology of dental scaler tip PIM mold, which has complex shape and small core pin (diameter=0.6mm), with the help of computer-aided analysis of powder injection molding process was developed. Computer-aided analysis for dental scaler tip mold was implemented by finite element method with non-Newtonian fluid, modified Cross model viscosity, PvT data of powder/binder mixture. Compter-aided analysis results, such as filling pattern, weldline formation, air vent position prediction were compared with experimental result, and eventually have been shown good agreement. The core pin (diameter=0.6mm) deflection analysis of dental scaler tip PIM mold during PIM filling process was also investigated before mold fabrication.
