The problems with unsorted municipal waste are always associated with disposal issues as it requires a large area for landfilling or high energy used for incineration. In recent years, an autoclaving technique has been considered a promising approach which could minimize the volume of organic waste from being directly disposed or incinerated. In this work, an attempt was done to study the saccharification potential of organic residues under elevated temperature Thermal treatment involving hot water bath was applied to treat the organic residue ranging from 60℃ to 100℃ for 30 and 60 minutes. The result obtained showed an increasing trend for the concentration of glucose and carbohydrate. However, the result for lignocellulose content which contains various component includes extractive, holocellulose, hemicellulose, cellulose and lignin show variation. Based on the thermal treatment carried out, the result indicated that the trend of glucose and carbohydrate content. The highest percentage of glucose that can be obtained 978.602 ㎍/ml which could be obtained at 90℃ at 60 minutes. The carbohydrate also shows an increasing trend with 0.234 mg/ml as the highest peak achieved at 80℃ for 30 minutes treatment. However, it was found that the lignocellulose content varies with temperature and time. The statistical analysis was carried out using two-ways ANOVA shows an interaction effect between the independent variables (temperature and contact time) and the saccharification effects on the food wastes. The result shows a variation in the significant effect of independent variables on the changes in the composition of food waste.

Energy consumption of air-conditioning and refrigeration systems is responsible for about 25 to 30% of the energy demand especially in hot seasons. This equipment is mostly electricity dependent and their use in principle affects negatively the environment. Enhancing the energy efficiency of the existing equipment is important as one of the measures to reduce environment impacts. This paper reports the results of an experimental study to evaluate the impacts of the use electronic expansion valve and variable velocity compressor on the performance of vapor compression refrigeration system. The experimental rig is composed of two independent circuits one for the vapor compression system and the other is the secondary fluid system. The vapor compression system is composed of a forced air condenser unit, evaporator, hermetic compressor and expansion elements, while the secondary system has a pump for circulating the secondary fluid, and an air conditioning heat exchanger. The manufacturer's data was used to determine the optimal points of operation of the system and consequently tests were done to evaluate the influence of variation of the compressor velocity and the opening of the expansion device on the performance of the refrigeration system. A fuzzy logic model was developed to control the rotational velocity of the compressor and the thermal load. Fuzzy control model was made in LabVIEW software with the objective of improving the system performance, stability and energy saving. The results showed that the use of fuzzy logic as a form of control strategy resulted in a better energy efficiency.

$SiC_f/SiC$ composites were joined using a $60{\mu}m-thick$ $Ti_3AlC_2$ or $Ti_3SiC_2$ MAX phase tape. The filler tape was inserted between the $SiC_f/SiC$ composites containing a 12 wt.% $Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3$ sintering additive. The joining was performed to a butt-joint configuration at $1600^{\circ}C$ or $1750^{\circ}C$ in an Ar atmosphere by applying 3.5 MPa using a hot press. Microstructural and phase analyses at the joining interface confirmed the decomposition of $Ti_3AlC_2$ and $Ti_3SiC_2$, indicating the joining by solid-state diffusion. The results showed sound joining interface without the presence of cracks. Joining strengths higher than 150 MPa could be obtained for the joints using $Ti_3AlC_2$ or $Ti_3SiC_2$ at $1750^{\circ}C$, while those for joined at $1600^{\circ}C$ decreased to 100 MPa approximately without the deformation of the joining bodies. The thickness of initial filler tape was reduced significantly after joining because of the decomposition and migration of MAX phase owing to the plasticity at high temperatures.

$Si_{3}N_{4}$에 평균입경이 270 nm인 SiC 분말을 0, 10, 20, 30, 40 vol% 첨가하여 고온 가압소결법으로 $Si_{3}N_{4}/SiC$ 초미립복합재료를 제조하였다. 소결후 기지상인 ${\alpha}-Si_{3}N_{4}$는 ${\beta}-Si_{3}N_{4}$로 상전이하였으며, 이차상인 ${\beta}-SiC$는 변화가 없었다. 소결조제의 첨가에 의한 입계결정상은 검출되지 않았다. SiC의 첨가량이 많아짐에 따라 $Si_{3}N_{4}$ 결정립성장은 억제되어 미세한 결정입이 나타났으며, 작은 임자는 기지상 임내에 큰 SiC는 임계에 존재하였다. SiC 첨가에 따라 파괴강도는 약간 증가후 감소하였으며, 파괴인성은 감소하였고, 경도는 직선적으로 증가하였다.

Phosphoric acid-doped poly (2,5-benzimidazole) (DABPBI) was prepared by condensation polymerization of 3,4-diaminobenzoic acid for high temperature proton electrolyte membrane fuel cells. The membranes were casted directly using a hot-press unit and characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, thermogravimetric analysis, conductivity measurement, scanning electron microscopy and tensile test. The proton conductivities of DABPBI are observed to be 0.062 and 0.018 $S{\cdot}cm^{-1}$ under 30 and 1% relative humidity, respectively at a temperature of $120^{\circ}C$ which is appreciably higher than that of Nafion 115 under similar conditions. The DABPBI membrane has demonstrated excellent thermo- mechanical properties and proton conductivity suggesting its suitability as a high temperature membrane.

PEO 첨가에 따른 PLA/PBAT 블렌드 필름의 물성개선 효과를 확인하였다. PEO 농도에 따른 영향을 확인하기 위하여 기계적특성, 열적특성 및 화학적 특성을 조사하였다. PEO 농도가 증가함에 따라 PLA/PBAT/PEO 블렌드 필름의 인장강도는 소폭 감소하지만 열안정성은 증가하였다. PEO 2% 첨가군은 다른 샘플들에 비해 인장강도 감소폭 대비 높은 파단연신율(46.8%) 개선 효과를 보였다. 반면, PEO 4% 수준에서 PEO 무첨가와 유사한 파단연신율과 인장강도의 저하가 발생하였다. 열특성 분석을 통해 PLA/PBAT 블렌드 내 낮은 혼화성으로 발생한 두개의 T_m 피크가 PEO 첨가로 상용성이 증가하여 피크가 하나로 합쳐지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, ¹H-NMR 분석을 통해 블렌드 내의 PEO의 농도가 증가함을 확인하였다. 향후, PEO 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소된 인장강도 유지와 파단연신율을 확보하기 위한 PEO의 분산성 향상에 대한 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate and develop an eco-frendly wood adhesive based on vegetable oil (especially soybean oil), the renewable and sustainable natural resources, using ozonification technology for the chemical structure modification. The waste soybean oil (WSBO) was reacted with $O_3$ at the rate of $450m{\ell}$(acetone) : $50m{\ell}$ (WSBO) for different times, 1, 2, 3 hrs. The investigation of the modified chemical strecture of the ozonied WSBOs were conducted using FT-IR. As ozonification time increased, the peak of the unsaturated double bonds was disappeared especially ozonized-3hrs and aldehyde or carboxyl peak appeared because ozonification broke the oil into small molecules. The plywood were made at $150^{\circ}C$ with 4 minutes hot-press time using the different ozonized 3 hrs WSBO/pMDI adhesives and were tested for the dry, wet, cyclic boil test according to the Korea Industrial Standard F3101 Ordinary plywood. The bond strengths gradually increased until 1 : 0.5~1 : 3, but it decreased 1 : 4, as the contents of pMDI increased. The results of the dry, wet and cyclic bond strengths the equivalent ratio was formed approximately between 1 : 2~1 : 3. And the 1 : 1~1 : 4 strengths met constantly the standard requirement of 7.0kgf/$cm^2$ (KS F3101). From the comprehensive view on the results of above experiment, it could be confirmed that ozonized WSBO/pMDI has characteristics of effective reactivity and wet stability showed as an excellent candidate of wood adhesive applications.

DSC와 TGA 분석으로 탄소섬유/페놀수지 복합재의 최적 경화조건과, 탄화조건을 선정하고 핫프레스 몰딩 방법으로 복합재를 제조한 후 140$0^{\circ}C$까지 탄화하였다 또한 층간전단강도의 개선에 효과적이라 생각되는 흑연분말, 카본블랙, 분쇄된 탄소섬유 및 탄소섬유 매트를 첨가하여 이러한 첨가제가 밀도 및 기공도에 미치는 영향과 ILSS, 굽힘강도와 같은 기계적 물성과의 상관관계에 대하여 연구하였다. 흑연분말을 약 9 vol% 첨가한 경우 가장 큰 ILSS 값과 굽힘강도 값을 나타내었고 카본블랙의 경우, 약 3 vol%에서 ILSS 값이 약간 증가하였으나 굽힘강도는 감소하였다. 분쇄된 탄소섬유와 탄소섬유 매트 첨가시 수지부족과 열수축에 의한 층간분리가 발생하여 밀도와 ILSS 및 굽힘강도를 감소시키는 결과를 나타내었다.

Ti 과 AI의 고순도 원소 박판을 이용하여 열간프레스장치에서 고온자전합성법으로 TiAI계 금속간화합물을 제조하였다. 원소 박판에서 $TiAl_3$ 금속간화합물을 제조하는 데 승온속도, 압력, 온도 등의 변수가 고온자전합성에 영향을 미치는 중요한 인자다. 특히 승온속도는 반응합성온도를 결정하는 인자로서 본 실험에서 DTA 분석을 이용하여 공정변수를 결정하였다. DTA 분석결과에 따르면, Ti와 AI의 계면에서 반응합성은 AI의 용융점 이하와 이상의 온도에서 두 번 발생함을 알 수 있다. 또한 승온속도가 증가할수록 두 반응합성온도는 증가하였다. 10층의 Ti 박판과 9층의 AI 박판을 $20^{\circ}C$/min의 승온속도로 고온자전합성시킨 후, $810^{\circ}C$와 240MPa의 압력에서 4시간 동안 열처리한 결과 $700\mu\textrm{m}$ 두께의 TiAI계 금속간화합물 판재를 제조하였으며, XRD 회절과 SEM으로 확인하였다.
