To examine the increase of paper strength by solvent-bonding using N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO), a paper was treated with aqueous solutions of NMMO, concentrated at $90^\circ{C}$ for selected periods of time, and pressed for 5 seconds followed by washing and drying. The effect of the increasing NMMO concentration on bonding state and some important properties of samples were mainly investigated. With increasing concentration of NMMO, the degree of bonding between fibers was increased, the fiber cross-sectional shape was changed from 'thin ribbonlike' to 'round rodlike' by swelling with solvent, and the longitudinal waves (crimp) were introduced to fibers, hence the shrinkage, weight per unit area, and thickness of paper were increased. Consequently, the tensile strength and elongation, under standard and wet conditions, and the stiffness were increased, and the water absorption was decreased generally with increasing concentration of NMMO. The moisture regain of treated samples was lower than that of the untreated sample, because of the reduction of space between fibers. But the moisture regain was increased a little with increasing concentration of NMMO due to the fiber swelling with NMMO followed by structural relaxation.

지구온난화 및 환경오염의 영향으로 선진국을 중심으로한 환경규제가 심해지면서, 홈 텍스타일 분야에서는 세계 패션 트렌드 및 소비자 선호에 부응한 친환경 섬유소재 개발, 웰빙 시대에 적합한 기능성 및 고감성 제품개발을 통한 차별화가 요구되고 있다. 최근의 섬유산업의 동향도 인체에 무해한 천연적인 섬유소재에 많은 관심이 증대됨에 따라 개인의 건강 뿐만 아니라 환경을 생각하는 생활패턴인 친환경섬유의 개발이 새로운 트렌드로 떠오르고 있는 실정이다. 헴프는 일년생 식물로서 학명은 Cannabis sativa L.이다. 헴프섬유의 장점으로 내구성 및 내수성, 항균성 등이 우수한 것으로 보고되고 있으나 양질의 원료 확보, 세섬도 추출 기술 및 combing 기술 등의 부족으로 100% 헴프 세 번수 방적사의 제조가 어려워 주로 면섬유와의 혼합소재로 제조되어 왔다. 최근 들어, 친환경 소재로서 박테리아 성장 억제 기능을 가진 재생섬유인 Tencel 소재를 이용하여 stiff한 Hemp의 성질에 유연성을 추가하여 촉감을 개선함과 동시에, Tencel과 Hemp를 혼용함으로써 soft touch부터 harsh touch까지 혼용율에 의한 다양한 감성을 느끼게 함으로써 용도의 다양화 추구가 시도되어 왔다. Hemp의 거친 느낌을 완화시키고 Tencel의 박테리아 억제 기능과 Hemp의 항균기능, 방충, 탈취기능이 상호 보완되어 친환경적이고 위생적인 다용도 홈 인테리어 및 가구용 직물 등의 제품으로 Hemp/Tencel 복합사가 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구는 Hemp와 Tencel의 혼용율의 변화에 따른 복합사의 물리적 특성을 확인하기 위하여 천연복합 태번수 방적사 최적 사설계 이론을 적용하여 Hemp 섬유 혼용율에 따른 사의 물성분석을 함으로써 Hemp/Tencel 방적사 최적 공정 조건을 결정하기 위한 사설계 이론 결과와 실험결과를 비교 분석하고자 한다. 최적 천연 Hemp복합방적사 사설계의 이론화 및 사 물성 DB화 그리고 태번수 Hemp사의 물성분석 및 이들을 DB화 함으로써 가구용 직물로 많이 사용되는 친환경 Hemp 소재사의 방적성 향상을 꾀하고자 한다. 이를 위해서 제조한 방적사의 Dry heat shrinkage와 Wet heat shrinkage를 측정하여 확인하였고 인장시험기를 이용하여 Tenacity, Initial Modulus, breaking strain을 측정 분석하였다. 방적사의 표면 특성은 영상 현미경 시스템을 사용하여 ${\times}40$ 배율로 측정하여 확인하였다.

Al powder, AlN powder, SiC whisker and sintering aids were wet-mixed, and then the specimens prepared with mixed powder were reacted by nitridation at 600∼1400$^{\circ}C$ for 5 hrs. It was cleat that the higher nitridation and the more SiC whisker content were, the better bending strength was. The specimen of Al50/AlN50 reacted at 1400$^{\circ}C$ for 5hrs had the nitridation percent of 97%, the shrinkage under 2%, and the relative density of 78%. And the maximum bending strength of reaction-bonded specimen was 250 MPa. The specimens completely nitrided were post-sintered at 1700, 1800 and 1900$^{\circ}C$ for 2hrs. The post-sintered body had the shrinkage under 6% and the relative density of 86%. Because of the formation of solid solution between AlN and SiC whisker over 1800$^{\circ}C$, the promotion of mechanical properties according to SiC whisker addition was not observed. The post-sintered body had the maximum bending strength of 195 MPa.

The physical properties and microstructural changes with heat-treatment of opacified silica aerogels doped by TiO2 were investigated. Monolithic SiO2-TiO2 aerogels were prepared by supercritical drying (25$0^{\circ}C$, 1250 psig) of wet gel obtained by adding titanium isopropoxide to prehydrolyzed TEOS-isopropanol solutions. The density and the porosity of SiO2-10 mol% TiO2 aerogels were 0.23 g/㎤ and 90%, respectively. During supercritical drying, the linear shrinkage of aerogels increased with increase in the titanium content an TiO2 was transformed to the anatase phase as well as particls agglomerates led to TiO2 clusters of 100~800 nm dispersed homogeneoulsy in the silica matrix. The IR transmittance of opacified silica aerogels was very low in the region of wavelengths below 8 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ compared with pure silica aerogels and SiO2-TiO2 aerogels showed the high thermal stability of microstructures up to $600^{\circ}C$.

The effect of quartz which exists in clays, especially in kaolin used for the production of chamotte sagger, on the strength of refractory was examined. In this study, a mixture of chamotte 50%, kaolin 25%, plastic clay 25% in ternary component system was selected as a batch composition. To this mixture 1%, 3% and 5% of feldspar and sericite were added respectively. The plastic clay used here was separated under 170 mesh by dry process. Feldspar and sericite were separated under 325 mesh by dry process. Feldspar and sericite were separated under 325 mesh by dry process. In order to change the particle size and the content of quartz, the kaolin was separated under 60, 115, 170 and 325 mesh by wet process, substituted quartz for coarse parts of it. Chamotte was classified into three grades, coarse (5-10mesh): medium (10-20mesh): fine(20-115mesh) and the ratio was 1:1:1. Samples were formed in 0.8xIx10cm size with 12.5% water at 160kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ pressure, and fired at 130$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr. The fired samples were ivnestigated by means of x-ray diffraction analysis and microscopic observation, and the physical properties of them were also examined, such as firing shrinkage, apparent specific gravity and bulk specific gravity, apparent porosity, water absorption and modulus of rupture. The obtained results are as follows: 1. When screened kaolin with low content of quartz was added to fixed chamotte-plastic clay system, the sample lowered modulus of rupture and increased apparent porosity as the size of kaolin became finer. 2. When kaolin under 325 mesh with 7.2-15.81% quartz between 60-325 mesh was added to fixed chamotte-plastic clay system, the sample had higher apparent porosity and lower modulus of ruputure as the size and the amount of quartz became larger. 3. The addition of feldspar and sericite to chamotte-plastic clay system improved apparent porosity and modulus of rupture. The effect of feldspar was better when quartz content was low, although that of sericite was better than quartz content was high.

Though the wet bottom ash has been used as a type of lightweight aggregate, dry bottom ash, new type bottom ash from coal combustion power plant, has scarcely researched. It is excellent lightweight aggregate in the view point of construction material. This study is performed to check the applicability of dry bottom ash as a fine aggregate in lightweight aggregate concrete, by analyzing various properties of fresh and hardened concrete. We get results that the slump of concrete is within the target range at less than 75% replacement rate of dry bottom ash, the air content is not affected by the replacement rate of dry bottom ash, the bleeding capacity is less than $0.025cm^3/cm^2$ at 75% under of the replacement rate of dry bottom ash, and the compressive strength of concrete show 90% or more comparing the base mix while initial strength development is a little low. Oven dry unit weight of concrete is reduced by 8.9% when replaced 100% dry bottom ash, and dry shrinkage tends to decrease depending on increase of replacement rate of dry bottom ash. Modulus of elasticity of concrete shows no decease at 50% over of the replacement rate of dry bottom ash, while modulus of elasticity of concrete decreases when the replacement rate increases further. The dry bottom ash, when used as a fine aggregate in lightweight concrete, can be used effectively without any deterioration in quality.

This study was carried out to investigate the physical and mechanical properties. durability of adhesive bond and paint film for the basic data which were required to determine the suitability as a raw material for furniture the laminated veneer lumber (LVL) with pitch pine (Pinus rigida Mill). The results obtained were as follows; 1) The proper pressing time for making the LVL was over 45 second per milimeter of LVL thickness. 2) The bending strength of the LVL was lower than that of the solid wood but the compressive strength of the LVL was similar to that of the solid wood. The strength increased with the decrease of veneer thickness. 3) The impact bending absorbed energy of the LVL was 0 to 0.3 kg.m/$cm^2$ in the direction of parallel to the grain. The energy of the LVL was lower than that of the solid wood (0.68 kg.m/$cm^2$). 4) In warm water soaking and cold-dry tests, delamination of adhered layers surface crack, swelling, and color change were not found when the hot pressing time was over 45 second per milimeter of LVL thickness. As a result of soak under vacuum test shrinkage in the direction of parallel to the grain was about -1.0 percent and. was about 3.0 percent in the direction of the perpendicular to the grain. 6) The film cacks on the LVL's surface after the wet and cold-dry test were not found at all. 7) In the use of the LVL for interior decoration it was considered that the surface of the LVL be overlaid crossly with fancy veneers of birch and paulownia, etc. This cross overlayirg methods have resulted in few cracks on the fancy veneer.
