In this study, the effects of sulphuric acid on the mechanical performance and the durability of Engineered Cementitious Composites (ECC) specimens were investigated. The carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) and basalt fiber reinforced polymer (BFRP) fabrics were used to evaluate the performances of the confined and unconfined ECC specimens under static and cyclic loading in the acidic environment. In addition, the use of CFRP and BFRP fabrics as a rehabilitation technique was also studied for the specimens exposed to the sulphuric acid environment. The polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber with a fraction of 2% was used in the research. Two different PVA-ECC concretes were produced using low lime fly ash (LCFA) and high lime fly ash (HCFA) with the fly ash-to-OPC ratio of 1.2. Unwrapped PVA-ECC specimens were also produced as a reference concrete and all concrete specimens were continuously immersed in 5% sulphuric acid solution ($H_2SO_4$). The mechanical performance and the durability of specimens were evaluated by means of the visual inspection, weight change, static and cyclic loading, and failure mode. In addition, microscopic changes of the PVA-ECC specimens due to sulphuric acid attack were also assessed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to understand the macroscale behavior of the specimens. Results indicated that PVA-ECC specimens produced with low lime fly ash (LCFA) showed superior performance than the specimens produced with high lime fly ash (HCFA) in the acidic environment. In addition, confinement of ECC specimens with BFRP and CFRP fabrics significantly improved compressive strength, ductility, and durability of the specimens. PVA-ECC specimens wrapped with carbon FRP fabric showed better mechanical performance and durability properties than the specimens wrapped with basalt FRP fabric. Both FRP materials can be used as a rehabilitation material in the acidic environment.

The mechanical properties of developed fabrics which were composed of soluble yarns and stretch fibers were analyzed using the Kawabata Evaluation System. The following findings were obtained from this investigation. Fabrics woven with lightweight yarns can be easily deformed by external forces. But when the fabric were woven using thick lightweight yarns reduced the slippage between the fibers, which makes it difficult to deform due to external force, thereby maintaining a certain space from the human body. As for the weight of the fabric per unit thickness, it was found that fabrics were compose of lightweight spun yarn was lightweight relatively. Lightweight yarns were more flexible than regular yarns because of the reduced bending and shear properties that greatly affect the lattice pattern. smoother, more flexible, and the better the bend was recovered. As fabrics increased content of using of lightweight spun yarn was increased flexible and smooth, and bending recovery.

본 연구에서는 청정 호발공정의 하나로 플라즈마 처리를 사용하였다. 폴리에스테르(polyethylene terephthalate, PET) 직물에 가호된 폴리비닐 알콜(polyvinyl alcohol, PVA), 아크릴 호제(polyacrylic acid esters, PACL)과 이들의 혼합된 호제들을 질소($N_2$)와 산소($O_2$) 플라즈마로 처리하였다. 호제제거에 있어서 산소 플라즈마가 질소 플라즈마 보다 더 효과적이었으며, PACL 보다는 PVA 호제 제거가 더 우수하였다. 플라즈마 처리된 시료의 주사전자현미경(scanning emission microscopy, SEM) 사진을 통하여 호제들이 제거되었음을 직접 확인할 수 있었다. 산소 플라즈마 처리 후, 기존의 습식공정을 이용하여 폴리에스테르 직물을 호발하였다. 플라즈마로 처리하지 않은 직물과 비교하여 산소 플라즈마 처리된 직물의 호발폐수는 더 낮은 TOC, COD와 $BOD_5$ 값을 보여주었다. 이것은 플라즈마 처리가 직접적으로 호제를 제거할 수 있을 수 뿐 아니라 호제의 화학적 특성을 변화시킴으로서 이점을 제공할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다. 마지막으로, 플라즈마 처리에 의한 호발 공정이 폴리에스테르 직물의 염색성에 미치는 영향을 색차와 염색견뢰도를 측정하여 살펴보았다. CCM(computer color matching) 측색 실험 결과, 산소 플라즈마로 20분간 처리한 폴리에스테르 직물과 기존 습식공정으로 호제가 제거된 기준직물과의 색차값은 1 정도이었다. 이것은 다른 부수적인 공정 없이 플라즈마로 처리된 직물이 바로 염색공정에 사용될 수 있다는 것을 나타낸다. 또한, 플라즈마로 처리된 직물은 좋은 염색견뢰도 결과를 보여주었는데, 세탁견뢰도, 마찰견뢰도, 승화견뢰도, 일광견뢰도도 기준직물과 비교하여 같거나 더 우수하였다.

In order to control the formaldehyde release from D.P. finished fabric, cotton fabric was padded in DMDHEU resin bath containing either $Zn(NO_3)_2$ or $MgCl_2$ catalyst and a form-aldehyde scavenger like Glycerol, Sorbitol, Formamide, Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA, n= 2000) or diols, then dried and cured. The results are as follows : 1. When Lewis acid catalyst like $Zn(NO_3)_2$ or $MgCl_2$ was added in pad bath, the fabric finished with $Zn(NO_3)_2$ catalyst released the lower formaldehyde than with $MgCl_2$. 2. When the effect of pad bath pH was examined with varying the kinds of catalyst and the scavenger, it was found that the pad bath pH influenced on the amount of formaldehyde release and the optimum pad bath pH is at 4.3. Especially, in case of finishing at pad bath pH 4.3 with adding Formamide, the amount of formaldehyde release was decreased by about $45\~$35\%$ with $Zn(NO_3)_2$, while by about $20\~$45\%$ with $MgCl_2$ catalyst. In case of varying the concentration of a scavenger (Formamide), $1\%$ concentration of a scavenger was found to be the optimum level ana the higher the curing temperature up to $180^{\circ}C$, the lesser the amount of formaldehyde release were observed. 3. When the diol was used as scavenger, the amount of formaldehyde release was decreased by about $40\~$50\%$, but the longer the intramolecular length between OH groups, the lessor the amount of decrease of formaldehyde release were observed. 4. When the mixture of scavengers (Formamide and Glycerol) was added in the pad bath, .synergistic effect on formaldehyde release between the two scavengers wasn't observed. 5. The tensile strength of the resin finished fabric was reduced with increasing the pad lath pH and was influenced by the kind of scavengers, and the tensile strength was severely reduced when scavengers, especially Formamide, was added. The wrinkle recovery property is generally improved by resin finish on cotton fabric. When Formamide was added, the wrinkle recovery property is slightly decreased compared with that of the fabrics resin finished without a scavenger, and when polyol was added, the wrinkle recovery property showed almost no change.
