Cement-bonded particleboard is being used as outdoor siding material all over the world, because this composite particularly bears a light weight, high resistance against fire, decay, and crack by cyclic freezing and thawing, anti-shock property, and strength enhancement. Construction systems are currently changing into a frame-building style and wooden houses are being constructed with prefabrication type. Therefore, they require a more durability at outdoor-exposed sides. In this study, the cement hydration property for Korean pine particle, Japanese larch particle and face- and middle layer particles (designated as PB particle below) used in Korean particleboard-manufacturing company was investigated, and the rapid manufacturing characteristics of cement-bonded particleboard by supercritical $CO_2$ curing was evaluated. Korean pine flour showed a good hydration property, however, larch flour showed a bad one. PB particle had a better hydration property than larch flour. The addition of $Na_2SiO_3$ indicated a negative effect on hydration, however, $MgCl_2$ had a positive one. Curing by supercritical $CO_2$ fluid gave a conspicuous enhancement in the performances of cement-bonded particleboards compared to conventional curing. $MgCl_2$ 3%-added PB particle had the highest properties, and $MgCl_2$ 1%-added Korean pine particle had the second class with the conditions of cement/wood ratio of 2.7, a small fraction-screened particle and supercritical curing. On the contrary, the composition of non-hammermilled or large fraction-screened particle at cement/wood ratio of 2.2 was poorer. Also, the feasibility for actual use of 3%-added, small PB particle-screened fraction was greatest of all the conventional curing treatments. Relative superiority of supercritical curing vs. conventional curing at dimensional stability was not so apparent as in strength properties. Through the thermogravimetric analysis, it was ascertained that the peak of a component $CaCO_3$ was highest, and the two weak peaks of calcium silicate hydrate and ettringite and $Ca(OH)_2$ were present in supercritical treatment. Accordingly, it was inferred that the increased formation of carbonates in board contributes to strength enhancement.

전도성 물질인 철 입자(iron particles)를 절연체로 코팅하여 제작한 압분자심(powder core)은 비저항이 작기 때문에 고주파 영역에서 와전류 손실이 크다. 이 결함을 해결하기 위해서는 압분자심의 비저항을 증가시킬 필요가 있다. 이 연구에서는 압분자심의 비저항을 증가시키기 위하여 유성볼밀을 사용하여 전기전도성 철 입자에 산화제2구리를 코팅하였다. 반응표면분석법을 사용하여 코팅변수를 최적화하였다. 최적화 시 인자는 CuO 질량분율, 밀 회전 수, 코팅시간, 볼 크기, 볼 질량, 시료 질량이며, 반응변수는 비저항이었다. 6인자-일부요인배치법에 의하면 주된 인자는 CuO 질량분율, 밀 회전 수, 코팅시간이었다. 3-인자 완전요인배치법과 최대경사법을 사용하여 3개 인자의 수준을 선정하였다. 최대경사법을 사용하여 최고의 비저항을 갖는 영역에 접근하였다. 최종적으로 Box-Behnken법을 사용하여 스크린한 인자들의 반응표면을 분석하였다. Box-Behnken법 결과에 의하면 CuO 질량분율과 밀 회전 수가 코팅공정 효율에 영향을 주는 주요 인자이었다. CuO 질량분율이 증가함에 따라 비저항은 증가하였다. 그에 반해서 밀 회전 수가 감소함에 따라 비저항은 증가하였다. 코팅공정을 최적화한 모델로부터 계산한 예측값과 실험값과는 통계적으로 유의하게 일치하였다($Adj-R^2=0.944$). 비저항의 최고값을 갖는 코팅조건은 CuO 질량분율은 0.4, 밀 회전 수는 200 rpm, 코팅시간은 15분이었다. 이 조건에서 코팅한 정제의 비저항 측정값은 $530k{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$이었다.
