Epoxy resins are widely used in various fields due to their excellent thermal, mechanical and chemical properties. In order to improve the mechanical properties of the epoxy composition after curing, various materials are mixed in the epoxy resin. Among the nano materials, CNT is the most widely used. However, CNT has limitations in terms of manufacturing process and manufacturing cost. Therefore, there is a growing interest in naturally occurring HNTs having similar structure to that of CNT. In this study, the thermal and mechanical properties of epoxy compositions containing HNTs treated with two types of silane compounds were investigated. The mechanical properties of silane-treated HNT were measured by using a universal testing machine. The differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), and thermomechanical analysis (TMA) were used to measure thermal properties. As a result of the above tests, when the HNT was surface-treated with aminosilane, the tensile strength of the epoxy composition containing the HNT was higher than that of the epoxy composition containing epoxy silane treated HNT. The linear thermal expansion coefficients (CTE) obtained from the thermomechanical analysis of the two epoxy compositions for the comparison of dimensional stability showed that the HNT composition treated with aminosilane showed a lower value of CTE than that of epoxy composition including the pristine HNT.

에폭시수지에 유기화된 층상실리케이트 나노입자를 충진하여 에폭시-나노콤포지트 제조하였다. 에폭시-나노콤포지트는 열적, 기계적 특성이 매우 우수한 콤포지트로서 실란처리에 따른 동적 기계적 특성 (Dynamic Mechanical Analysis)과 가교밀도와의 관계를 조사였다. 나노입자의 충진함량은 3wt%로 충진하였고, Silane Coupling Agent는 에폭시실란으로서 3-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane이 사용되었다. 실란처리함량은 0.5, 1, 1.5 wt%로서 적용하여 제조된 샘플이다. DMA Storage modulus특성으로 glass state($40^{\circ}C$)에서는 원형에폭시의 경우 2054, 실란처리되지 않은 나노콤포지트 3967, 실란처리된 나노콤포지트는 4867MPa을 나타내었다. rubbery state($140^{\circ}C$)에서는 원형에폭시의 경우 1458, 실란처리되지 않은 경우 2506, 실란처리된 나노콤포지트는 2638MPa을 나타내었다. 또한 실란처리함량에따른 가교밀도변화는 0.5wt%에서는 0.803, 1 wt%에서는 0.671, 1.5wt%에서는 $0.762[mol/cm^3]$이로서 에폭시원형과 실란미처리된 나노콤포지트 그리고 실란처리된 나노콤포지트순으로 glass state와 rubbery state에서의 특성이 크게 향상된 결과를 얻었다. 이는 실란이 고분자와 무기물사이의 결합력을 강화시켜 열적기계적 특성향상을 가져 오는 것으로 볼 수 있다. 가교밀도의 실란처리함량의 변화에 있어서 과량의 함량 첨가는 에폭시와 나노층상실리게이트 표면처리된 잔유량이 오히려 특성의 저하를 가져오는 것으로 볼 수 있다.

The fracture of acrylic resin dentures remains an unsolved problem. Therefore, many investigations have been performed and various approaches to strengthening acrylic resin, for example, the reinforcement of heat-cured PMMA resin using glass fibers, have been suggested over the years. The aim of the present study was to investigate the effect of short glass fibers treated with silane coupling agent on the transverse strength of heat-polymerized PMMA denture base resin. To avoid fiber bunching and achieve even fiber distribution, glass fiber bundles were mixed with PMMA powder in conventional mixer whose blade was modified to be blunt. Composite of glass fiber($11{\mu}m$ diameter, 3mm & 6mm length, silane treated) and PMMA resin was made. Transverse strength and Young's modulus were estimated. Glass fibers were incorporated with 1%, 3%, 6% and 9% by weight. Plasticity and workability of dough was evaluated. Fracture surface of specimens was investigated by SEM. The results of this study were as follows 1. 6% and 9% incorporation of 3mm glass fibers in the PMMA resin enhanced the transverse strength of the test specimens(p<0.05). 2. 6% incorporation of 6mm glass fibers in the PMMA resin increased transverse strength, but 9% incorporation of it decreased transverse strength(p<0.05). 3. When more than 3% of 3mm glass fibers and more than 6% of 6mm glass fibers were incorporated, Young's modulus increased significantly(p<0.05). 4. Workability decreased gradually as the percentage of the fibers increased. 5. Workability decreased gradually as the length of the fibers increased. 6. In SEM and LM, there was no bunching of fibers and no shortening of fibers.

Formation of a strong 3-dimensional interfacial network structure via chemical reaction between hydroxyl group on silica surface and NR chain by the addition of bis(triethoxysilylpropyl)tetrasulfide (TESPT) into silica-filled NR compound was observed by using Py-GC/MS and SEM. Addition of TESPT into silica-filled NR compound decreased scorch time ($t_{10}$) due to increased sulfur content, and reduced cure rate index (CRI) via continuous reaction between sulfur atoms in TESPT, which acted as a sulfur donor, and activators and/or accelerators. Addition of TESPT in the compound improved processability and mechanical properties of the compound. Overall, we observed that the addition of TESPT into the silica-filled NR compound formed a silica-TESPT-NR network, and thus the degree of crosslinking was increased resulting in improved mechanical properties.

Sol-gel process is relatively simple, easy to use, cheap to install, and results in thin coating layers with superior physical and gas barrier properties. Films coated by the sol-gel process can be used as insulating films or packaging films for foods, chemicals, drugs, and beverages, etc. In this study, alumina sol was synthesized from aluminum isopropoxide and silane coupling agent was added to make coating solutions. In addition, biaxially oriented polypropylene (BOPP) was coated using several alumina sol solutions and their oxygen permeabilities were measured. The experimental results indicate that in the best case, the oxygen permeability of coated film was reduced by 85% compared to that of pure BOPP.

The membrane requires both high in selectivity and flux. However, the permselective membrane has low flux. In this study, the porous alumina membrane was coated with silane coupling agent in order to enhance the flux with proper selectivity. The contact angle of water to the surface-modified alumina membrane was greater than 90$^{\circ}$, which indicated the high hydrophobicity. The modified membrane was tested in vapor permeation for the concentration of aqueous ethanol, isopropanol, and n-butanol. With the increase of ethanol, isopropanol, butanol concentration in the feed, permeation flux increased due to the greater affinity of ethanol, isopropanol, butanol with surface-modified alumina membrane than that of water. The experimental results showed that the permeation tate of surface-modified alumina membrane was 20~1000 times greater than that of a polymer membranes.

Lyocell fibers were used as a precursor in order to improve yield and strength of cellulose-based precursor while manufacturing activated carbon fiber(ACF). Lyocell fibers as a precursor for the preparation of ACF were surface-modified by reaction with 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane(APTES) and pre-treated with KOH and H3PO4. Using aforementioned precursor, ACFs were prepared by a series of stabilization, carbonization and activation process at high temperatures. On each process, FT-IR, TGA, UTM and SEM were used to observe fibers' physical properties including structure and porous surfaces. FT-IR results proved that surface modification was achieved during stabilization, carbonization and activation process. TGA results during carbonization process found that surface modified fibers with APTES 0.02 mol(A2) showed higher thermostability, and extended pre-treatment increased yield. Especially, yield was found to have an increase of 10~20 wt% with surface modification during activation process. UTM results showed that tensile strength has the same order of concentration of APTES after surface modification, however, was found to show lower tensile strength than lyocell fibers after stabilization process. SEM results revealed that more homogeneous porosity control could be proceed after modifying the surface for the effective removal of hazardous substances.

This research evaluates the antibacterial and transparency properties of UV-curable paint augmented with 20wt% copper particles. The transparency assessment indicated that the paint maintained a total luminous transmittance of 90% or above, thereby matching or surpassing the performance of standard UV-curing paints. To further test its antibacterial capabilities, wooden flooring boards were coated with the UV-curable paint laced with 20wt% copper particles, which had been surface-modified with a silane coupling agent. Following the fatigue tests of these treated boards, an impressive bacterial reduction rate of 99.9% was noted after a span of 6 hours, demonstrating the paint's exceptional antibacterial performance.

This study was investigated to fabricate the isotropic $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$/epoxy bonded magnets with high characteristics paroduced by compression molding. The magnetic characteristics of the bonded magnets were directly proportional to the density of the magnets and were enhanced by using raw $Nd_2Fe_{14}B$ magnetic powders, having the mean particle size of $200{\mu} m$.without additional milling process. The high characteristics of the bonded magnets were achieved at the following conditions: epoxy resin of 2.0 wt%, silane coupling agent of 0.8 wt%, curing agent of 0.7 wt% on the base of magnetic powders, and curing condition of $150^{\circ}C$/3 hrs. The bonded magnets at the optimum conditions indicated the high characteristics such as the density of 6.1 g/㎤, the remanent flux density of 7.1 kG, the maximum energy product of 9.7 MGOe, and the compressive strength of 17 kg/$mm^2$.
