To determine the change of the mechanical properties of the wool/polyester blend fabrics in proportion to blend ratio, 10 mechanical properties were measured on 6 blend fabrics by KES-F system. Blend ratio on the 6 blend fabrics was increased by $20\%$, and the structure of the fabric were plain, 2/2 twill, respectively. And wearing performances in propoetion to blend ratio on the 6 blend fabrics were investigated. In this experiment. the following conclusions were obtained with the increase of blend ratio of polyester. 1) The values of WT, RT in tensile properties. tensile energy and elongation, and RC in compressional properties were decreased. 2) The values of B, 2HB in bending properties, 2HG. 2HG 5 in shearing properties were increased. 3) Putting on clothes, wearing performance was bad because crumbling of shape and wrinkle were easily made an appearance. Particularly it was remarkably bad as blend ratio of polyester was expressed $60\%$.

In this study, different types of polyether amines and H₁₂MDI were used to synthesize water dispersed urea resins, which can be applied to coating material on the concrete slabs for bicycle road using the ordinary application equipments. The concentrations of several polyether amines with different molecular weights and the number of amine functionality were varied to set up the optimal condition for water dispersed urea resin preparation with both an excellent tensile strength and an elongation. In addition, the effect of DMPA[2,2-Bis(hydroxymethyl)propanoic acid] concentration on the storage stability of the water dispersed urea resin was also investigated. The formation of urea bonds from isocyanate and polyether amines was confirmed through FT-IR ATR spectroscopy. From the mechanical properties of urea resins, PU-4 and PU-6, which were prepared with both diamines and triamine of different molecular weights and number of functionality, showed the tensile strength of 10.5 N/㎟ and 12.7 N/㎟, respectively and the elongation of 1165 % and 969%, respectively. Among the water dispersed urea resin synthesized with different contents of DMPA, PU-6 showed the highest mechanical properties, a tensile strength of 14.2 N/㎟ and an elongation of 993%. In addition, the water dispersion state of this PU-6 was the most stable even after 8 weeks.

To modify the physical properties of alginate film, the gamma ray irradiation was performed, and alginate film properties such as elongation strength (ES), elongation rate (ER), water vapor permeability(WVP), and water solubility (WS) were measured. The film made from 1.75% alginate solution (w/w) with the addition of 2% CaCl$_2$ solution suggested a good application for a film preparation in that elongation strength(ES) increased 5 fold by CaCl$_2$ treatment and water vapor permeability was decreased by 17${\sim}$22%. A solid form of alginates were irradiated with Co$^{60}$ gamma rays in the dose range of 2 to 10 kGy to make a low molecular weight alginate film, and then the intrinsic viscosity and the molecular weight of alginates were measured. Increasing the dose range of 2 to 10 kGy produced lower intrinsic viscosity and lower molecular weight, causing the decrease in the ES and WS. However, ER increased four times compared to that of without gamma ray dose, which is an indication of the different properties of algiante film. WVP of the films did not show any significant change at different doses.

The effect of draw ratio (8, 10, 12, 14 times) and additive CaCO₃ content (0, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, and 3.0 wt%) on the properties of high-performance PE monofilament was investigated in this study. As the draw ratio increased (8-14 times), the melting enthalpy (ΔHf), crystallinity, specific gravity, and tensile strength increased significantly. However, the draw ratio had little effect on the melting temperature (Tm) and crystallization temperature (Tc). The seawater fastness (stain and fade) of the hydrophobic PE monofilament prepared in this study showed an excellent grade of 4-5 in all draw ratios. To investigate the effect of the additive CaCO₃ content on the properties of high-performance PE monofilament, the draw ratio was fixed at 14 times. It was found that the tensile strength of the PE monofilament sample containing 0.5 wt% of CaCO₃ was much greater compared to the sample without CaCO₃, but the elongation of the sample containing 0.5 wt% of CaCO₃ was much less than the sample with 0 wt% CaCO₃. However, in the case of the sample containing more than 0.5 wt% CaCO₃, the tensile strength slightly decreased and the elongation slightly increased as the CaCO₃ content increased. The seawater fastness (stain and fade) of the hydrophobic PE monofilament showed excellent grades of 4-5, regardless of the amount of additives. From the above results, it was found that the maximum draw ratio of 14 times with an additive of 0.5 wt% CaCO₃ are the optimal conditions for manufacturing high-performance marine fusion materials with various fineness (denier) with high strength and low elongation.

This experiment was conducted in the laboratory in order to find out the relationships between the root growth and soil physical properties. The soils selected for this study were Sangju sandy loam, Yeongog loam, Hwadong silty clay loam, which have been considered to be a typical upland soils of Korea. Artificial core samples were made with various moisture contents and bulk densities. Elongation rate of pea seedling taproot and soil strength were measured respectively in these core samples. The results obtained are summarized as follows: 1. The soil strength increased with the bulk density and deceased with moisture content. 2. The correlation between root elongation and soil bulk density was significantly recognized at the same moisture content and the root elongation was influenced by the bulk density more significantly at dry condition. 3. The elongation rate of pea seedling taproot was significantly decreased by increasing the strength (Yamanaka tester and Fine probe) of the soils. 4. The soil strength of $21kg/cm^2$ in fine metal probe or 24mm in Yamanaka tester was considered to be the critical point for plant growth, which was restricting root elongation smaller than 1/4 of the maximum growth rate.

We studied the antibacterial effect and mechanical properties of PLA composites with in organic porous zeolite-type bacteriocides. The specimens were prepared by an intermeshing co-rotating twin screw extruder using different contents of inorganic bacteriocide. The degree of dispersion of the in organic bacteriocide in the PLA composite was confirmed by FE-SEM. The contents of Ag and Zn in the composite were also investigated by energy dispersive spectroscopy at different concentrations of the inorganic bacteriocide. The antibacterial effects were analyzed by turbidity analysis, shaking culture, and drop-test. The mechanical properties, such as the tensile and flexural properties, impact strength, and physical properties, were also investigated. As the content of inorganic bacteriocide increased, the antibacterial activity was increased, especially against Staphylococcus aureus. Mechanical properties, namely, tensile strength, elongation, flexural strength, and impact strength, tended to decrease with an increase in inorganic bacteriocide content, but the tensile and flexural modulus increased.

In this study, the influence of dilauroyl peroxide on mechanical and thermal properties of different polypropylene (PP) matrices was investigated. Polypropylene matrices, different molecular weight isotactic PP containing 0.01, 0.02, 0.04, 0.06, 0.08, and 0.1 wt% of dilauroyl peroxide (DLP) were prepared by using a single-screw extruder. The effect of the visbreaking agent (DLP) on mechanical, physical, thermal and morphological properties of different molecular weight PP had been studied. Mechanical properties (tensile strength at break point, at yield and elongation at break point), melt flow index (MFI), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) analyses of these matrices were examined. Melting ($T_m$) and crystallization ($T_c$) temperatures, crystallinity ratio (%) and enthalpies were determined. The microstructure of isotactic polypropylene matrix was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). From SEM analysis, it was observed that the surface disorder increased by the increasing amount of DLP. As a result of DSC analyses, the crystallinity ratio of the PP matrices has varied between 1.64-7.27%. Mechanical properties of the matrices have been improved. Particularly, the mechanical tests of PP have given interesting results when compounded with 0.06-0.08 wt% dilauroyl peroxide (DLP). Mechanical properties and thermal decomposition processes were all changed by increasing the amount of DLP in the matrix structure.

This study investigates the physical properties of Murata Vortex Spinning (MVS) blended yarn with yarn count(20's, 30's, 40's) and blend ratio(Polyester 100, Polyester70:Cotton30, Polyester50:Cotton50, Polyester30:Cotton70, and Polyester50:Tencel40:Cotton10). This study evaluated tenacity, elongation, bending rigidity, bending hysteresis, hairiness coefficient, irregularity and twist number. The structure of MVS blended yarn influenced stress, strain, bending rigidity, bending hysteresis and the hairiness coefficient of MVS blended yarn decreased as the yarn count increased. MVS blended yarn consists of core and sheath. The core of MVS blended yarn is composed of a parallel fiber with a wrapping fiber that covers thecore fiber. This special structure of the MVS blended yarn effects the physical properties of the yarn; in addition, the mechanical properties of the component fibers influenced the stress, strain, bending rigidity, bending hysteresis and hairiness coefficient of MVS blended yarn with the blend ratio. Polyester decreases and cotton increases resulted in decreased physical properties. A similar polyester content increased the tencel and physical properties. Appropriate physical properties and a variety of touch expression can be realized through a correct blend ratio.

In this study, a commercial AZ61 magnesium alloy is extruded at 300 ℃ and 400 ℃ and the microstructures, mechanical properties, and high-cycle fatigue properties of the extruded materials are investigated. Both extruded materials have a fully recrystallized microstructure with no Mg₁₇Al₁₂ precipitates. The average grain size and maximum basal texture intensity of the extruded material increase with increasing extrusion temperature. The material extruded at 400 ℃ (AZ61-400) has higher tensile yield strength and lower compressive yield strength than the material extruded at 300 ℃ (AZ61-300) because of the stronger basal texture of the former. Because of coarser grain size, the tensile elongation of AZ61-400 is lower than that of AZ61-300. Despite the differences in microstructures and tensile/compressive properties, the two extruded materials have the same fatigue strength of 110 MPa. This is because the finer grain size of AZ61-300 causes an increase in fatigue strength, but its weaker texture causes a decrease in fatigue strength. In both extruded materials, fatigue cracks initiate at the surface of fatigue specimens at all stress amplitudes tested.

There has been extensive interest in the development of new nanocomposites. One kind of these systems is the hybrid based on organic polymers and inorganic minerals consisting of layered silicates. Some properties like stiffness, strength, barrier properties, thermal, and oxidative stability can be improved by the presence of the filler in the polymeric matrix[1]. It is reported that, in the nylon 6/clay nanocomposites, the modulus is increased, but impact strength and elongation at break are drastically decreased. (omitted)
