Recently, many research groups have studied on the epoxy-based multifunctional electrolyte to develop the structural composite bearing high mechanical properties without sacrificing the ionic conductivity at the same time. The studies on the optimal content and material selection for structural electrolyte have been published, while its curing behavior has not much analyzed yet. In this study, epoxy-based structural electrolyte containing solid electrolyte was prepared by varying the curing temperature and time. In addition, the ionic conductivities and mechanical properties of specimens were measured. We also find out the optimal hardening condition where the epoxy domain enables to be hardened within the range of temperature at which the thermal decomposition of electrolyte does not occur. Finally, we propose the multifunctional structural electrolyte showing achievable electrical and mechanical properties (282 MPa and $9{\times}10^{-6}S/cm@25^{\circ}C$).

This paper persents the crack control of mass concrete in massive machine foundation. The dimension of the machine foundation is 52.6m$\times$14.4m$\times$8.5m. The one distinctive characteristic of mass concrete is thermal behavior. Since the cement-water reaction is exothermic by nature, the temperature rises inside the massive concrete structure. When the heat is not quickly dissipated, it can be quite high. Significant tensile stresses may develop from the volume change associated with the increase of decrease of temperature within the mass concrete structure. To avoid occurrence of harmful cracks due to hydration heat, special attention shall be given to the construction of mass cnocrete structures. The temperature control system of mass concrete is proposed in this paper. This system contains a discussion of materials and concrete mix proportioning, thermal analysis, curing method, temperature control, and measurement of hydration heat. As will be seen throughout the paper, the proposed temperature control system have a great effect on the temperature-related cracks on mass concrete structures.

Purpose. The intent of this study was to evaluate the effects of curing conditions on self-curing denture base resins to find out proper condition in self-curing resin polymerization. Materials and methods, In this study, 3 commercial self-curing denture base resins are used Vertex SC, Tokuso Rebase and Jet Denture Repair Acrylic. After mixing the self curing resin, it was placed in a stainless steel mold(3$\times$6$\times$60mm). The mold containing the resin was placed under the following conditions: in air at 23$^{\circ}C$; or in water at 23$^{\circ}C$; or in water at 23$^{\circ}C$ under pressure(20psi); or in water at 37$^{\circ}C$ under pressure(20psi) or in water at 50$^{\circ}C$ under pressure(20psi) , or in water at 65$^{\circ}C$ under pressure(20psi), respectively. Also heat-curing denture base resin is polymerized according to manufactures' instructions as control. Fracture toughness was measured by a single edge notched beam(SENB) method. Notch about 3mm deep was carved at the center of the long axis of the specimen using a dental diamond disk driven by a dental micro engine. The flexural test was carried out at a crosshead speed 0.5mm/min and fracture surface were observed under measuring microscope. Results and conclusion . The results obtained were summarized as follows : 1. The fracture toughness value of self-curing denture base resins were relatively lower than that of heat-curing denture base resin. 2. In Vertex SC and Jet Denture Repair Acrylic, higher fracture toughness value was observed in the curing environment with pressure but in Tokuso Rebase, low fracture toughness value was observed but there was no statistical difference. 3. Higher fracture toughness value was observed in the curing environment with water than air but there was no statistical difference. 4. Raising the temperature in water showed the increase of fracture toughness.

In the present paper, the results of an experimental study of the bond between repair materials and mortar substrate subjected to hot climate is presented. Half-prisms of size $40{\times}40{\times}80mm$, serving as a substrate mortar samples (SUBM) were manufactured in the laboratory and then stored at an ambient temperature for 6 months. Five self compacting mortar mixes (SCMs) incorporating 0%, 10%, 20%, 30%, and 40% of natural pozzolana as white cement replacement were used as repair materials. Repaired composite samples (SCMs/SUBM) were cured at hot climate for different lengths of time (28 and 56-days). During the first week of curing, the composite samples were watered twice a day. The test carried out to assess the bond between SCMs and SUBM was based on three-point bending (3 PB) test. The obtained results have proved that it was feasible to produce compatible repair materals in this curing environment by using up to 30% natural pozzolana as white cement replacement.

Shrink resist finishing of wool fabric was carried out with Monoethanol aminesulphite (MONAMIN BTN) shrink resist agent after chlorination with Dichloro isocyanuric acid (DCCA). The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of treating conditions, such as concentrations of DCCA and MONAMIN BTN, pH of treating bath, dyeing times, curing times and temperatures, on dyeing property of wool fabrics. K/S values and fastness properties of dyed wool fabrics were measured. The K/S values of dyed fabrics were increased gradually with increasing concentration, and decreased with increasing curing time. The optimum dyeing time and curing temperature were 60 min and $140^{\circ}C$, respectively. Also it seems likely that the shrink resist finishing carried out at 3% (o.w.f.) of MONAMIN BTN and pH 7 of resin treating bath is effective in increasing K/S values. Light fastness of fabric dyed was very poor and the fastness of fabric dyed was not influenced by the treatment conditions.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to evaluate flexural strength, composite surface and fractured surface of three different indirect composite resins. Methods: Fifteen bar-shaped specimens ($25mm{\times}2mm{\times}2mm$) were fabricated for each FL group (Flow type and Light curing) and PLP group (Putty type and Light, Pressure curing) and PL group (Putty type and Light curing) according to manufacturer's instructions and ISO 10477. Fabricated specimens were stored in the distilled water for 24 hours at the temperature of $37^{\circ}C$. Three-point bending strength test was performed to measure flexural strength using universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 1mm/min (ISO 10477). Surface and fractured surface of specimens were observed by digital microscope. Results were analyzed with Kruskal-wallis tests (${\alpha}=0.05$). Results: Mean (SD) of three different indirect composite resins were 83.38 (6.67) MPa for FL group, 139.90(16.53) MPa for PLP group and 171.72(16.74) MPa for PL group. Flexural strength were statistically significant (p<0.05). Differences were not observed at fractured surface among three groups. However, many pores over $100{\mu}m$ were observed at PL group in observing surface of specimen. Conclusion: Flexural strength of composite resins was affected by second polymerization method and content of inorganic filler.

In this paper, removal times of from from concrete using OPC( Ordinary Portland Cement) and BSC(Blast-furnace Slag cement) are suggested by appling logistic curve, which evaluates the strength development of concrete with maturity. W/B, kinds of cement and curing temperatures are selected as test parameters. According to the results, the estimation of strength development by logistic curve has a good agreement between calculated values. As for the removal time of from suggested in this paper, as W/B increase, curing temperature decrease and BSC in used, removal they times of from are shown to be kept longer. Removal times of from from concrete using OPC suggested in this paper are shorter by about 2~3day than those of standard specifications provided in KCI in the rang of over $20^{\circ}C$, while they takes 4~5 day shorter compared with those of standard specifications Provided in KCI in the range of 10~$20^{\circ}C$. Removal times of from for concrete using OPC are longer than those using BSC by about 1 day.

Properties of Ag thick films fabricated by using low temperature curable silver pastes were investigated. Ag pastes were consisted of polymer resins and silver powders. Ag pastes were used for conductive or fixing materials between board and various electrical and electronic devices. Low temperature curable Ag pastes have some advantages over high temperature curable types. In cases of chip mounting, soldering properties were required for screen printed Ag thick films. In this study, four types of Ag pastes were fabricated with different compositions. Screen printed Ag thick films on alumina substrates were fabricated at various curing temperatures and times. Thickness, resistivity, adhesive strength and solderability of fabricated Ag thick films were characterized. Finally, Ag thick films produced using Ag pastes, sample A and B, cured at $150^{\circ}C$ for longer than 6 h and $180^{\circ}C$ for longer than 2 h, and $150^{\circ}C$ for longer than 1 h and $180^{\circ}C$ for 1 h, respectively, showed low resistivities of $10^{-4}$ $∼10^{-5}$ Ωcm and good adhesive strength of 1∼5 Mpa. Soldering properties of those Ag thick films with curing temperatures at solder of 62Sn/36Pb/3Ag were also investigated.

The strength development of polymer concrete using an unsaturated polyester polymer varies depending on many factors. However, the strength development is mostly dependent upon the age and curing temperature if the mixture ratios are the same. This study conducted to experimentally describe the relationship between the strength development and maturity which is defined as a function of $\Sigma$(time $\times$ temperature). The research result may be applied to predict the compressive, tensile and splitting strengths of the polymer concrete by computing the maturinty of the concrete.
