본 연구는 폴리비닐실록산 치과용 고무인상재의 조성에서 실리콘 프리폴리머 내 비닐그룹에 대한 가교제내 Si-H 그룹의 함량비 차이가 물성에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. SiH/Vinyl 비가 1.6으로 가교제 함량이 낮은 $\underline{C6}$군(Cross-linker $\underline{6}$ parts 함유)은 인장강도가 실험군 중 가장 높았으나 경화속도가 너무 느렸고, SiH/Vinyl 비가 3.2인 C12군은 기계적 성질은 좋았으나 경화가 너무 빠르게 진행되어 조작이 용이하지 않은 단점을 보였다. 그러나 C14군은 가교제 함량이 더 낮은 실험군들에 비해 낮은 인장강도를 보였으며, C16군은 경화반응이 오히려 더 지연됨을 보여 과다한 가교제 첨가는 기계적 성질과 조작성에 불리한 영향을 미침을 알 수 있었다.

A Macroscopic combination of two or more distinct materials is commonly referred to as a "Composite Material", having been designed mechanically and chemically superior in function and characteristic than its individual constituent materials. Composite materials are used not only for aerospace and military, but also heavily used in boat/ship building and general composite industries which we are seeing increasingly more. Regardless of the various applications for composite materials, the industry is still limited and requires better fabrication technology and methodology in order to expand and grow. An example of this is that the majority of fabrication facilities nearby still use an antiquated wet lay-up process where fabrication still requires manual hand labor in a 3D environment impeding productivity of composite product design advancement. As an expert in the advanced composites field, I have developed fabrication skills with the use of machinery based on my past composite experience. In autumn 2011, the Korea government confirmed to fund my project. It is the development of a composite sanding machine. I began development of this semi-robotic prototype beginning in 2009. It has possibilities of replacing or augmenting the exhaustive and difficult jobs performed by human hands, such as sanding, grinding, blasting, and polishing in most often, very awkward conditions, and is also will boost productivity, improve surface quality, cut abrasive costs, eliminate vibration injuries, and protect workers from exposure to dust and airborne contamination. Ease of control and operation of the equipment in or outside of the sanding room is a key benefit to end-users. It will prove to be much more economical than normal robotics and minimize errors that commonly occur in factories. The key components and their technologies are a 360 degree rotational shoulder and a wrist that is controlled under PLC controller and joystick manual mode. Development on both of the key modules is complete and are now operational. The Korean government fund boosted my development and I expect to complete full scale development no later than 3rd quarter 2012. Even with the advantages of composite materials, there is still the need to repair or to maintain composite products with a higher level of technology. I have learned many composite repair skills on composite airframe since many composite fabrication skills including repair, requires training for non aerospace applications. The wind energy market is now requiring much larger blades in order to generate more electrical energy for wind farms. One single blade is commonly 50 meters or longer now. When a wind blade becomes damaged from external forces, on-site repair is required on the columns even under strong wind and freezing temperature conditions. In order to correctly obtain polymerization, the repair must be performed on the damaged area within a very limited time. The use of pre-impregnated glass fabric and heating silicone pad and a hot bonder acting precise heating control are surely required.
