The 2-step manufacturing method consisting of preforming and stamping processes was developed to manufacture composite bipolar plates for PEMFCs. The preform was composed of expanded graphite, graphite flake and phenol resin. Precuring conditions were optimized by checking the electrical conductivity, flexural strength and microstructure. Precuring temperature ($100^{\circ}C$) slightly above the melting point of phenol powders ($90^{\circ}C$) induced moderate curing, but also prevented excessive curing. Preforms utilizing the tangled structure of expanded graphite were easily fabricated at low pressure of 0.07-0.28MPa. The proper precuring time, 5min, was determined to fabricate the preform stably because insufficient and excessive precuring deteriorated the flexural strength of composite bipolar plates.

Rubber composites were prepared by precured CIIR pulverized at knead shear force in order to research the effects of the BR/PCP composites. The particle size of domain in BR/CIIR composites was decreased and homogeneously dispersed by the precured CIIR pulverized. However, it was difficult to use the product when the content is 40 phr and precured of 40%. BR/PCP composites have improved mechanical properies as compared that of the addition of simply cut chip composite.

Magneto-rheological elastomers (MREs) are smart materials in which the inherent stiffness and damping properties can be changed by the influence of an external magnetic field. The magneto-rheological (MR) effect depends on the orientation characteristics of the dispersed magneto-responsible particles (MRPs) in the matrix. In this study, natural rubber (NR) and ethylene propylene diene rubber (EPDM) were blended and used as a matrix of an MRE. EPDM was pre-cured before blending with NR. The Mooney viscosity, curing characteristics, and mechanical properties were analyzed with various pre-curing conditions of EPDM and the NR/EPDM blend. The results show that excellent mechanical properties of the NR/EPDM blend-based MRE were obtained when the pre-curing time of EPDM was 60 min. The aging property of the NR-based MRE was improved by the introduction of pre-cured EPDM. Also, the anisotropic MRE showed a higher MR effect than that of the isotropic MRE.

Fully biodegradable and environment-friendly green composite specimens were made using ramie fibers and soy protein concentrate (SPC) resin. SPC was used as continuous phase resin in green composites. The SPC resin was plasticized with glycerin. Precuring and curing processes for the resin were optimized to obtain required mechanical properties. Unidirectional green composites were prepared by combining 65% (on weight basis) ramie fibers and SPC resin. The tensile strength and Young's modulus of these composites were significantly higher compared to those of pure SPC resin. Tensile and flexural properties of the composite in the longitudinal direction were moderate and found to be significantly higher than those of three common wood varieties. In the transverse direction, however, their properties were comparable with those of wood specimens. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) micrographs of the tensile fracture surfaces of the green composite indicated good interfacial bonding between ramie fibers and SPC resin. Theoretical values for tensile strength and Young's modulus, calculated using simple rule of mixture were higher than the experimentally obtained values. The main reasons for this discrepancy are loss of fiber alignment, voids and fiber compression due to resin shrinking during curing.

The guideline of selection of Integrated Management Practices (IMPs), such as wood, green roof, lawn, and porous pavement, for Low Impact Development (LID) design was proposed by ranking the reduction rate of surface runoff using LIDMOD1.0. Based on the guideline, LID was designed with several scenarios at two apartment complexes located at Songpa-gu, Seoul, Korea, and the effect of LID on surface runoff was evaluated during last 10 years. The effect of runoff reduction of IMP by land use change was highly dependent on the kind of hydrologic soil group. The wood planting is the best IMPs for reduction of surfac runoff for all hydrologic soil groups. Lawn planting is an excellent IMP for hydrologic soil group A, but reduction rate is low where soil doesn't effectively drains precipitation. The green roof shows constant reduction rate of surface runoff because it is not influenced by hydrologic soil group. Compared to the rate of other IMPs, the green roof is less effect the surface runoff reduction for hydrologic soil group A and is more effect for hydrologic soil group C and D followed to planing wood. The porous pavement for the impervious area is IMPs which is last selected for LID design because of the lowest reduction rate for all hydrologic soil group. As a result of LID application at study areas, we could conclude that the first step of the strategy of LID design at apartment complex is precuring pervious land as many area as possible, second step is selecting the kind of plant as more interception and evapotranspiration as possible, last step is replacing impervious land with porous pavement.

BR/PCIIR 복합체에 대한 분산상의 영향을 분석하기 위하여 예비가교된 CIIR을 BR과 함께 니더가공하여 고무복합체를 제조하였다. 분산상으로 사용된 CIIR 예비가교물을 니더에서 한번 더 가공함으로써 BR/PCIIR 복합체에서 분산상의 입자가 적어지고 균일하게 분산되었다. BR/PCIIR40의 경우 예비가교물의 니더 가공 시간이 복합체의 반발탄성 및 경도에 아무런 영향을 미치지 않았다. 예비가교된 CIIR 입자를 니더기로 가공한 후 BR에 혼합하여 복합체를 제조한 경우, 니더가공하지 않은 복합체의 인장강도에 비하여 10% 이상 현저히 향상되었다. 분산상으로 사용되는 CIIR 예비가교물을 니더로 가공함으로서 복합체의 표면마찰 특성은 그대로 유지하면서도 복합체의 내마모성 및 기계적 성질은 현저히 향상되었다.

본 연구에서는 고분자 전해질 연료전지(PEMFC)용 복합소재 분리판의 제작을 위해, 예비성형과 스탬핑 공정으로 이루어지는 2단계 제조공법을 개발하고 예비성형 조건이 소재의 물성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 예비성형체는 팽창흑연, 흑연분말, 페놀수지를 이용하여 제조되었으며, 예비성형 공정은 전기 전도도, 굽힘 강도와 미세 구조의 분석을 통해 최적화되었다. 예비성형은 페놀수지의 지나친 경화를 막기 위해 페놀 분말의 녹는점인 $90^{\circ}C$보다 약간 높은 $100^{\circ}C$에서 이루어졌다. 본 연구에서 개발된 예비성형체는 팽창흑연의 서로 잘 얽히는 성질로 인해 0.07-0.28MPa의 낮은 압력에서도 쉽게 제조되었다. 부족하거나 과도한 예비경화는 복합소재 분리판의 강도 저하를 야기하기 때문에, 예비성형체를 안정적으로 제조하기 위한 예비성형 시간은 5분으로 결정되었다.

본 연구에서는, IGCC(Integrated Gasification Combined Cycle: 석탄가스화 복합발전)에서 배출되는 용융 슬래그로 부터 지오폴리머를 제조하여 알칼리 활성화제의 몰농도, W/S 비(water/ solid ratio), 재령일에 따른 비중과 압축강도 등 물리적 특성을 분석함과 동시에 발포제인 Si 슬러지를 첨가하여 경량화 소재로서의 가능성을 고찰하였다. 특히 경량 지오폴리머의 강도 특성향상을 위하여 복합 활성화제 및 pre-curing 공정을 적용하였다. 단일 활성화제를 사용한 경량 지오폴리머의 압축 강도는 9.5 MPa이었으나, 복합 활성화제로 제조할 경우 2~5배 정도의 압축강도 증진 효과를 나타내었다. 더군다나, pre-curing을 실시한 경량 지오폴리머의 경우, pre-curing하지 않은 시편들에 비해 18~48 % 가량 높은 압축강도 값을 보였다. 본 연구에서 복합 활성화제와 pre-curing 공정의 도입으로 얻어진 경량 지오폴리머의 최고 압축강도는 40 MPa(3일 재령하여 밀도가 $1.83g/cm^3$인 시편)로서 시멘트 콘크리트에 필적하였다. XRD 결정상 분석과 SEM을 이용한 미세구조 분석을 통하여 지오폴리머 표면에서 C-S-H 겔(sodium silicate hydrate gel)의 모상에 꽃봉오리 모양의 zeolite 결정상이 균일하게 분포된 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
