Spherical-type zirconia granules are successfully fabricated by a spray-drying process using a water solvent slurry, and the change in the green density of the granule powder compacts is examined according to the organic polymers used. Two organic binders, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), which are dissolved in a water solvent and have different degrees of polymerization, are applied to the slurry with a plasticizer (polyethylene glycol). The granules employing a binder with a higher degree of polymerization (PVA) are not broken under a uniaxial press; consequently, they exhibit a poor green density of $2.4g/cm^3$. In contrast, the granule powder compacts employing a binder with a lower degree of polymerization (HEMA) show a higher density of $2.6g/cm^3$ with an increase in plasticizer content. The packing behavior of the granule powders for each organic polymer system is studied by examining the microstructure of the fracture surface at different applied pressures.

More than 8 millions of chemical have been used for human activities and lots of chemicals can not be degraded by microbial activities in this world. To show the biodegradability of a chemical, biodegradability index (B.I.) is suggested using aerobic biodegradability by $BOD_5$/COD, anaerobic biodegradability by methane potential (M.P.) and toxicity by the luminiscent bacteria. In this study, PVA (polyvinyl alcohol), HEC (hydroxy ethyl cellulose), 2,4,6-TCP (tri-chloro phenol) and 2,4-DCP (di-chloro phenol) are used for test chemicals. Though they show little toxicity, PAV and HEC have low B.I. because they are polymers having high molecular weight. That means that there are no bacteria that has enzyme to degrade polymer molecules. Also, anaerobic treatment is suggested better than aerobic treatment from B.I. 2,4,6-TCP and 2,4-DCP show high toxicity and have low B.I. Their low biodegradabilities seem to be originated from their toxicities. If B.I. is used in wastewater treatment, better treatment process can be suggested and finally it can lead our society to make more environment-friendly chemicals.

Maillard reaction products like melanoidins present in industrial fermentation wastewaters are complex compounds with various functional properties. In this work, novel ultrafiltration (UF) mixed matrix membrane (MMM) composed of polysulfone (PSF) and nanocomposites was prepared through a phase inversion process for the recovery of melanoidins. Nanocomposites were prepared with acid functionalized multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) as the reinforcing filler for chitosan-thermoplastic starch blend. Higher nanocomposites content in the PSF matrix reduced the membrane permeability and melanoidins retention indicating tighter membrane with surface defects. The membrane surface defects could be sealed with dilute polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) solution. The best performing membrane (1% nanocomposites in 18% PSF membrane sealed with 0.25% PVA coating) resulted in uniform melanoidins retention of 98% and permeability of 3.6 L/m2 h bar over a period of 8h. This demonstrates a low fouling PSF membrane for high melanoidins recovery.

Cylindrical shape extrudates of calcium silicate hydrate (CSH) were prepared using different percentages of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) / sodium alginate (SA) mixtures as binders and an aqueous solution containing 6% $H_3BO_3$ and 3% $CaCl_2$ was used as a cross linking agent. As the quantity of alginate increases, the phosphate removal efficiency and capacity were decreased. Among four different extrudate samples, the sample prepared by 8% PVA + 2% SA showed the highest phosphate removal efficiency (59.59%) and capacity (29.97 mg/g) at an initial phosphate concentration of 100 ppm and 2.0 g/L adsorbent dosage. Effects of the adsorbent dosage, contact time and initial phosphate concentration on the sample were further studied. The removal efficiency and capacity obtained by a 4.0 g/L adsorbent dose at an initial phosphate concentration of 100 ppm in 3 h were 79.38% and 19.96 mg/g, respectively. The experimental data of kinetic and isotherm measurements followed the pseudo-second-order kinetic equation and Langmuir isotherm model, respectively. These results suggested that the phosphate removal was processed via a chemisorption and a monolayer coverage of phosphate anions was on the CSH surface. The maximum adsorption capacity ($q_{max}$) was calculated as 23.87 mg/g from Langmuir isotherm model.

In this paper, the effect of the type and amount of fibers on the physicomechanical properties of concrete containing fine recycled refractory brick (RRB) and natural aggregate subjected to elevated temperatures was investigated. For this purpose, forta-ferro (FF), polypropylene (PP), and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fibers with the volume fractions of 0, 0.25, and 0.5%, as well as steel fibers with the volume fractions of 0, 0.75, and 1.5% were used in the concrete containing RRB fine aggregate replacing natural sand by 0 and 100%. In total, 162 concrete specimens from 18 different mix designs were prepared and tested in the temperature groups of 23, 400, and $800^{\circ}C$. After experiencing heat, the concrete properties including the compressive strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity (UPV), weight loss, and surface appearance were evaluated and compared with the corresponding results of the reference (unheated) specimens. The results show that using RRB fine aggregate replacing natural fine aggregate by 100% led to an increase in the concrete compressive strength in almost all the mixes, and only in the PVA-containing mixes a decrease in strength was observed. Furthermore, UPV values at $800^{\circ}C$ for all the concrete mixes containing RRB fine aggregate were above those of the natural aggregate concrete specimens. Finally, regarding the compressive strength and UPV results, steel fibers demonstrated a better performance relative to other fiber types.

This study focused on improving the solubility of silodosin, a drug poorly soluble in water, by utilizing solid dispersions. Three types of dispersions were examined and compared against the drug powder: surface-attached (SA), solvent-wetted (SW), and solvent-evaporated (SE). Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was identified as the most effective polymer in enhancing solubility. These dispersions were prepared using spray-drying techniques with silodosin and PVA as the polymer, employing solvents such as water, ethanol, and a water-acetone mix. The physicochemical properties and solubility of the dispersions were evaluated. The surface-attached dispersions featured the polymer on a crystalline drug surface, the solvent-wetted dispersions had the amorphous drug on the polymer, and the solvent-evaporated dispersions produced nearly round particles with both components amorphous. Testing revealed that the order of improved solubility was: solvent-evaporated, solvent-wetted, and surface-attached. The results demonstrated that the preparation method of the solid dispersions significantly impacted their physicochemical properties and solubility enhancement.

Fumed Silica와 섬유상의 Ceramic Wool을 사용하여 경량의 무기복합재 샘플을 제조하기 위한 조건과 만들어진 샘플의 단열특성을 살펴보았다. 정량된 Fumed Silica 미세분말과 Ceramic Wool을 혼합한 반죽을 몰드에 넣고 상온에서 안정화시킨 후에 $150^{\circ}C$ 오븐에서 완전히 건조하여 샘플을 제작하였다. 소량의 PVA 계면접착제를 사용하지 않는 샘플에서는 Fumed Silica 조성비가 10-70wt% 사이에서 벌크밀도가 0.6-0.8 $g/cm^3$이었으며, 50wt% 이상의 샘플에서는 건조 수축으로 인한 크랙현상이 관찰되었다. 그러나 3wt%의 PVA를 사용한 샘플의 벌크밀도는 절반 정도로 크게 감소하면서도 기계적 특성과 단열성은 향상되었다. 만들어진 샘플들은 $800^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서도 열크랙 없이 안정한 열적 특성을 보여주었으며, 샘플의 단열성은 Fumed Silica 조성비가 높아질수록 향상되는 것으로 나타났다. Fumed Silica 30wt%인 샘플의 열전도도는 $500^{\circ}C$에서 약 0.08 $W/m^{\circ}K$의 우수한 단열 특성을 보여 주었다.

본 연구에서는 다양한 RC 슬래브의 접촉 발파 실험을 수행하여 내폭 성능을 평가하였다. RC 슬래브의 내폭 성능 향상을 위해 섬유 보강과 외부 CFRP 시트 보강을 도입하였다. 폭발하중 실험은 $2,000{\times}1,000{\times}100mm$ RC 슬래브를 제작하였고, 일반 콘크리트와 강섬유 보강 콘크리트, 하이브리드 PVA 섬유 보강 시멘트 복합체, 초고성능 콘크리트를 적용하였다. 접촉 발파로 생긴 RC 슬래브의 손상 정도를 크레틀, 스폴과 브리치의 직경과 깊이로 평가하였다. 실험 결과를 LS-DYNA 유한요소해석 프로그램과 Morishita 등의 예측식으로 검증하고 비교분석하였다. 분석 결과, LS-DYNA 프로그램을 이용하여 크레틀, 스폴, 브리치의 직경 및 깊이에 대한 개략적인 예측이 가능하며, 폭발하중 하에서 손상부의 거시적 거동을 모사함으로써 부재의 파괴 이력을 나타낼 수 있었다. 국부 손상에 대한 세가지 예측식이 소개되어 있으나 경험식으로써의 한계가 존재하며, 이에 대한 추가 연구가 필요하다고 판단된다.
