Polymer-clay nanocomposites, a novel organic-inorganic hybrid, attract much attention from both scientific fields and engineering fields due to their balanced improvements in mechanical properties as well as diffusion behaviors, including flame-retarding and barrier properties, with small amounts of clay. Preparation of polymer-clay nanocomposites, summarized as a process for uniform dispersion of hydrophilic layered clays in hydrophobic polymer matrixes, includes several technologies and scientific phenomena, such as surface-modifications of clay layers, physical properties of clays in liquids and dried states, polymer synthesis, polymer rheology, behaviors of polymer solutions/or monomers in the confined geometry, mechanical properties of polymers and clays. To comprehend complicated physical/chemical phenomena involved in the fabrication of nanocomposites, we reviewed physical properties of clays, structures of clays in nanocomposites, characterization of nanocomposites, the relation between morphology and physical property of nanocomposites, surveyed recent research trends, and then suggested a few strategies or methods for fabrication of nanocomposites reflecting future research directions.

We report a novel optical delay line that can be implemented using only optical fiber and fiber devices without the need for any bulk-optic devices such as lens, prism, and moving mirror. The dispersive property of a chirped fiber Bragg grating (CFBG) is exploited to get the delay. The proposed delay line constitutes two identical CFBGs cascaded in the reverse order with one of them being strained. Analysis reveals that the small displacement or the strain applied on the CFBG is effectively amplified in the delay line by the ratio of the minimum resonant wavelength and the reflection bandwidth of the CFBG. The dispersion properties of the CFBG with and without the strain are analyzed in detail. The theoretical performance of the proposed delay line is also discussed. Applications of the proposed delay line are expected in the field of high-speed optical coherence tomograpy.

본 연구에서는 겔캐스팅법의 제조공정 확립을 위하여 분산제의 분자구조가 질화규소 슬립의 점성특성 및 성형체의 상대밀도와 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 슬립과 겔캐스팅 성형체의 제조방법은 기보고된 방법과 동일하게 하였다. 그 결과, 겔캐스팅 슬립의 점성은 분산제의 분자구조와 모노머와 분산제의 구성비율에 크게 의존하였다. PMAA 분산제를 사용한 슬립의 점성은 PAA 및 PAAm 분산제 보다 높은 점도를 나타내었다. 성형체의 상대밀도는 슬립의 농도에 크게 의존하였으며, 분산제양과 모노머의 양변화에는 그다지 변화가 없었다. 그리고, 겔캐스팅 성형체의 기계적 특성은 크게 모노머의 농도에 의존하였으며, 분산제양과 슬립의 농도에는 큰 변화가 없었다.

운동학적으로 측정된 질량과 측광으로 측정된 질량이 불일치하는 질량 불일치 문제는 현대천문학의 중요한 문제이다. 현재 이러한 질량 불일치에 대한 두 가지 해결책이 제시 되었다. 하나는 현대 표준우주론인 ${\Lambda}CDM$ 패러다임의 핵심 요소인 암흑물질, 다른 하나는 Milgrom에 의해 제시된 수정된 뉴턴역학(Modified Newtonian dynamics: MOND)이다. 두 방법에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되었는데, 최근 연구 결과에 의하면 나선형 은하의 회전속도 윤곽은 MOND와 잘 부합한다. 여기서 우리는 타원형 은하의 속도분산 윤곽을 분석한다. 속도분산 비등방성의 다양한 가정 하에 거의 구형인 2000여개의 SDSS 은하들의 예측되는 속도분산 윤곽을 계산하고, 이들로부터 얻어진 속도분산 기울기 분포를 15개의 $ATLAS^{3D}$ 구형 은하들의 관측된 분포와 비교하였다. 잘 정의된 하나의 interpolation function을 사용하는 MOND 모형에 의해서 단지 관측된 은하의 항성 질량 분포만으로 관측된 속도 분산 윤곽의 기울기 분포가 잘 설명되었다. 이러한 결과는 표준 패러다임의 경우 관측된 속도 분산 윤곽을 설명하기 위해 개별적인 암흑물질의 양과 밀도 윤곽을 필요로 한다는 점에서 주목할 만하다. 향후 타원형 은하들의 개별적 속도분산 윤곽을 정밀하게 분석하는 것이 매우 유용할 것으로 판단된다.

In this letter, a compact and fully printed composite right- and left-handed (CRLH) dual-band power divider is proposed. The branches of the conventional Wilkinson power divider are replaced by subwavelength CRLH phase-shift lines having $+90^{\circ}$ for one frequency and $-90^{\circ}$ for another frequency for dual-band and miniaturization performance. Equations are derived for the even- and odd-mode analysis combined with the dual-band CRLH circuit. A PCS and a WLAN band are chosen as the test case and the circuit approach agrees with the CAD simulation and the measurement. Additionally, the CRLH property is shown with the dispersion diagram and the eightfold size reduction is noted.

An image processing and decision making method for the Automatic Surveillance System is proposed. The aim of our Automatic Surveillance System is to detect a moving object and make a decision on whether it is human or not. Various object features such as the ratio of the width and the length of the moving object, the distance dispersion between the principal axis and the object contour, the eigenvectors, the symmetric axes, and the areas if the segmented region are used in this paper. These features are not the unique and decisive characteristics for representing human Also, due to the outdoor image property, the object feature information is unavoidably vague and inaccurate. In order to make an efficient decision from the information, we use a fuzzy rules base system ai an approximate reasoning method. The fuzzy rules, combining various object features, are able to describe the conditions for making an intelligent decision. The fuzzy rule base system is initially constructed by heuristic approach and then, trained and tasted with input/output data Experimental result are shown, demonstrating the validity of our system.

The 3$\mu\textrm{m}$-thick PVDF (Polyvinyiidene fluoride) thin film have been prepared using physical vapor deposition with electric field, and its FT-IR specrum, dielectric property and electric conduction phenomenon have been investigated. Since the characteristic peaks ate detected at 509.45 and 1273.6〔cm〕 in the FT-IR spectrum, we are confirmed that the ${\beta}$ -phase is dominant in the PVDF thin film. In the results of dielectric properties, the PVDF thin film shows anomalous dispersion, i.e. gradual decrease of dielectric constant with increase of frequency, and also that the dielectric absorption point changes from 200Hz to 7000Hz with increasing temperature of thin film, which is consistent with the Debye's theory. The activation energy (ΔH) obtained from temperature dependence of dielectric loss is 21.64 ㎉/㏖. We confirm that the electric conduction mechanism of PVDF thin film is dominated by ionic conduction by investigating the dependence of the leakage current of the thin film on the temperature and the electric field.

High velocity impact of projectile generate local failure such as penetration, scabbing, perforation on concrete. It has been reported that local failure is affected by such as nose shape, mass of projectile. In this study, comparing and weighing the impact failure properties of concrete by high velocity impact test that using spherical nose and flat nose type projectile. As a result, It was considered that scabbing of Flat nose projectile reduced more than spherical nose projectile by dispersion of impact force.

This paper has dealt with thermo-physical properties of microencapsulated phase change material slurry as a latent heat storage material having a low melting point. The measured results of the thermo-physical properties of the test microencapsulated phase change material slurry, those are, density, specific heat, thermal conductivity and viscosity, were discussed for the temperature region of solid and liquid phases of the dispersion material (paraffin). The measurements of these properties of microencapsulated phase change material slurry have been carried out by using a specific-gravity meter, a water calorimeter, a differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), a transient hot wire method and rotating type viscometer, respectively. It was clarified that the additional properties law could be applied to the estimation of the density and specific heat of microencapsulated phase change material slurry and also the Euckens equation could be applied to the estimation of the thermal conductivity of this slurry.

Plentiful amount of spent yeast has been produced as a by-product from breweries. ${\beta}-Glucan$ was prepared from the spent brewer's yeast in a crude form with hot water extraction and subsequent enzymatic treatment. The crude ${\beta}-glucan$ preparation consisted of mainly glucan (53% of total wt), containing approximately 35% ${\beta}-glucan$ content of total weight. The effects of crude ${\beta}-glucan$ substitution (1-9%) on pasting properties of wheat flour and starch were determined using a Rapid Visco-Analyzer (RVA). Incorporation of yeast ${\beta}-glucan$ into wheat flour and starch significantly decreased peak and [mal viscosities, but slightly increased setback viscosity. The setback viscosity was considerably higher in starch/${\beta}-glucan$ suspension than in flour/${\beta}-glucan$ suspension. It was suggested that preparation of yeast ${\beta}-glucan$ into aqueous dispersion might affect pasting behaviors of wheat flour and starch.
