CPAM has been applied to the paper industry for the purpose of wet-end improvement for a long time. And molecular weight and charge density have been managed most important quality factors to make CPAM for this application. Recently branched CPAM was developed to improve retention and drainage characteristics and we considered branch degree of CPAM as important factor as molecular weight and charge density. In this experiment, we tried to investigate physical and chemical properties to determine branch degree and flocculation efficiency using Arbocell pulp which was recently developed micro size pulp and finally we applied retention and drainage test under the ONP stock condition.

Biocomposite was organized with biodegradable polymer and natural fiber that has potential to be used as replacement for glass fiber reinforced polymer composite with the benefits of low cost, low density, acceptable specific strength, biodegradability, etc. Until now, non-wood fibers have been used as reinforcements of biocomposite which are all plant-based fibers. The present study focused on investigating the fabrication and characterization of biocomposite reinforced with red algae fiber. The bleached red algae fiber(BRAF) showed very similar crystallinity to the cellulose. It has high stability against thermal degradation (maximum thermal decomposition temperature of 359.3$^{\circ}C$) and thermal expansion. Biocomposites reinforced with BRAF have been fabricated by a compression molding method and their mechanical and thermal properties have been studied. The storage modulus and the thermomechanical stability of PBS matrix are markedly improved with reinforcing the BRAF. These results support that the red algae fiber can be used as an excellent reinforcement of biocomposites as "green-composite" or "eco-composite".

Instead of existing bar code system, RFID is now the core sensor technique of Ubiquitous computing and it will bring a revolution of corporation's logistics systems. In recent years, RFID becomes the center of government and other related companies and furthermore, its basic and applied techniques and have been established as various international standards. Many major countries announced application cases in various fields and concentrate their effort to make new RFID technologies as well. Recently Korean government announced the basic plan of u-Korea and all-out plan of activation of RFID/USN. SO in this paper, we will discuss two things; the trends of RFID technologies and the printing tag technique, which is needed to spread of RFID item units.

Paper is composed network of fibers. Since paper is plain, most cases paper is considered two-dimensional. But network of fibers creates a network of pores, and pores between fibers are most important part of the paper structure. So we have to make an approach to the paper by three-dimensionally. Pore structure in the Z-direction of the paper can affect directly not only basic properties od the paper such as density, porosity, opacity and strength but also coverage of the coating colors during coatong and printing properties. We studied effect of raw materials of the papermaking and physical treatment on the pore structure and properties of the paper.

The best way to understand paper properties is to study paper structure. Paper is composed solid materials (pulp and other additives) and air three-dimensionally, it's important to understand pore structure of the paper. There are several method to analysis pore structure of the paper. Mercury intrusion technique is frequently used for the characterization of the porous paper, giving access to parameters such as pore size and pore distribution. But some researchers indicated mercury intrusion distorts the structure due to application of high pressure. So this paper suggest new analysis technique to pore structure of the paper. New pore analysis technique with SEM does not require high pressure, gives good resolution and measures pore structure.

Uniaxial tensile test are generally much simpler than uniaxial compressive test. Uniaxial compressive test is experimentally more difficult because of the low buckling resistance of a sheet of paper. In order to avoid buckling, many researchers have applied various lateral restraint techniques to investigate paper uniaxial compression behavior. Adding unnecessary force to inhibit compressive deformation of the sheet is unwanted, but sufficient force must be used to inhibit buckling. This study has been carried out to develop new uniaxial compressive standard test method without exerting unnecessary force to paper specimen to prevent buckling.
