Chemical Mechanical Polishing of chemically stable sapphire substrates is dominantly affected by the mechanical processing of abrasives, in terms of the material removal rate. In this study, we investigated the effect of electrostatic force between the abrasives and substrate, on the polishing. If potassium chloride (KCl) is added to slurry, water molecules are decomposed into $H^+$ and $OH^-$ ions, and the amount of ions in the slurry changes. The zeta potential of the abrasives decreases with an increase in the amount of $H^+$ ions in the stern layer; consequently, the electrostatic force between the abrasives and substrate decreases. The change in zeta potential of abrasives in the slurry is affected by the slurry pH. In acidic zones, the amount of ions bound to the abrasives increases if the amount of $H^+$ ions is increased by adding KCl. However, in basic zones, there is no change in the corresponding amount. In acidic zones, zeta potential decreases as molar concentration of potassium increases; however, it does not change significantly in basic zones. The removal rate tends to decrease with increase in molar amount of potassium in acidic zones, where zeta potential changes significantly. However, in basic zones, the removal rate does not change with zeta potential. The tendencies of zeta potential and that of the frictional force generated during polishing show strong correlation. Through experiments, it is confirmed that the contact probability of abrasives changes according to the electrostatic force generated between the abrasives and substrate, and variation in removal rate.

LbL multilayering technology introduced by Decher is a nano technique that a substrate surface is layered by the successive deposition of polyelectrolytes with positive and negative charge. We investigated the electrochemical properties of LbL multilayered pulp fibers with poly-DADMAC and PSS. Three types of pulp-Hw-BKP, BCTMP and KOCC- were treated with polyelectrolytes. Zeta potentials of multilayered fibers ranged from +30 mV to +40 mV, depending on the intial zeta potential of pulp fibers and fines content. All kinds of pulp which were examined in this study, however, showed a similar zeta potential of -35 mV after layering with PSS. To obtain pulp fiber with a uniform and stable zeta potential, BCTMP and KOCC pulp fibers should be multilayered above 5 times. The addition level of polyelectrolytes had little influence on the zeta potential of pulp fibers.

Effect of solution property on the weight varation and microstructural change of film was studied by electrophoretic deposition in order to obtain a homogeneous and dense zirconia film. As a result of weight kinetics of film which obtained in alcohol or aqueous solution having different polarity experimental data showed large deviation from theoretical ones calculated by Zhang's kinetic model. It had been shown that the weight affecting factors was largely dependent on properties other than dielectric constant and viscosity of solvent zeta potential appiled field and time. In initial stage a main factor of the drastic weight increase was the capillary drag of porous substrate. The cause of weight decrease with time in aqueous solution after 300 s was attributed to the defect of film by sagging and electrolytic reaction. The electrolyte film which prepared in alcohol solution with good wetting for substrate had better homogeneous and dense microstructure than one in aqueous solution with high surface tension.

This work studied the inhibitory effect of the combination of benzoate-intercalated hydrotalcite (HT-BZ) and Ce³⁺-loaded clay (Clay-Ce) on carbon steel (CS). HT-BZ was prepared by the co-precipitation method and Clay-Ce was fabricated by a cation exchange reaction. HT-BZ and Clay-Ce were assessed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) coupled with zeta potential measurement. Electrochemical measurements coupled with scanning electron microscopy/energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (SEM/EDX) were used for studying the inhibitory action of the mixture of HT-BZ and Clay-Ce on steel electrodes immersed in 0.1 M NaCl. For comparison, the inhibitory effect of HT-BZ or Clay-Ce alone was also evaluated. The results showed that HT-BZ combined with Clay-Ce provided synergistic inhibition of the CS substrate. The mixture of 0.5 g/L HT-BZ + 0.5 g/L Clay-Ce provided 93.5% inhibition efficiency. The protective mechanism of the HT-BZ + Clay-Ce mixture consisted of the reaction of released BZ and Ce³⁺ and the deposition of HT-BZ and Clay-Ce structures on the CS substrate.

To determine whether Insulin-like growth factor (IGF-I) treatment represents a potential means of enhancing the survival of cardiac muscle cells from adriamycin (ADR)-induced cell death, the present study examined the ability of IGF-I to prevent cell death. The study was performed utilising the embryonic, rat, cardiac muscle cell line, H9C2. Incubating cardiac muscle cells in the presence of adriamycin increased cell death, as determined by MTT assay and annexin V-positive cell number. The addition of 100 ng/mL IGF-I, in the presence of adriamycin, decreased apoptosis. The effect of IGF-I on phosphorylation of PI, a substrate of phosphatidylinositol 3-kinase (PI 3-kinase) or protein kinase B (AKT), was also examined in H9C2 cardiac muscle cells. IGF-I increased the phosphorylation of ERK 1 and 2 and $PKC{\;}{\zeta}{\;}kinase$. The use of inhibitors of PI 3-kinase (LY 294002), in the cell death assay, demonstrated partial abrogation of the protective effect of IGF-I. The MEK1 inhibitor-PD098059 and the PKC inhibitor-chelerythrine exhibited no effect on IGF-1-induced cell protection. In the regulatory subunit of PI3K-p85- dominant, negative plasmid-transfected cells, the IGF-1-induced protective effect was reversed. This data demonstrates that IGF-I protects cardiac muscle cells from ADR-induced cell death. Although IGF-I activates several signaling pathways that contribute to its protective effect in other cell types, only activation of PI 3-kinase contributes to this effect in H9C2 cardiac muscle cells.

이종 재료의 접합에 대한 연구는 단일 재료에서 얻을 수 없는 물리적/기계적 특성과 이종 재료의 우수한 특성을 얻을 수 있다는 장점이 있어 국내외 적으로 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 이종 접합 기술은 구조재료와 에너지 변환분야에 가장 많이 사용되고 있으며, 그 외 광촉매와 Thin film, 경량구조재료 등에도 사용되고 있다. 그 중 FGM(Functional Graded Materials)는 조성의 점진적인 변화를 통하여 접합하는 방법으로 이종 재료 접합 시 발생하는 내부 응력을 해소해줌으로써 적합한 방법이라고 할 수 있다. FGM 제작에 사용되는 방법으로 널리 알려진 것들로는 plasma spraying, 원심주조, 분말 야금법, PVD, CVD 그리고 EPD(electrophoretic deposition) 등이 있다. 이중에서 EPD는 수용액이나 유기용매와 같은 분산매체 중에 콜로이드 입자의 표면에 대전되는 전하를 이용하여, 외부에서 전장을 걸어서 입자의 움직임을 제어하는 기술이다 EPD는 코팅 속도가 상대적으로 빠르고 두꺼운 코팅 층 제작이 가능하다. 또한 바인더, 윤활제 또는 가소제를 사용하지 않고 다양한 종류와 모양의 기판 위에 균일한 코팅이 가능하다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 Ni substrate를 이용하여 그 위에 Ni과 $Al_2O_3$의 조성을 점진적으로 변화시켜 FGM을 EPD 방법으로 코팅하였다. 여기서 사용된 Ni은 높은 녹는점과 좋은 연성으로 인해 성형이 용이하여 구조재료로 적합하며, $Al_2O_3$는 고내열성과 내부식성을 가지며 경도가 높다는 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 EPD 방식을 이용하여 Ni/$Al_2O_3$ FGM을 코팅하였으며, 코팅 후 발생하는 substrate와의 접착력 문제를 해결하기 위해서 건조 방식과 substrate의 표면 상태를 최적화하여 다층의 Ni/$Al_2O_3$ FGM을 코팅 및 소결하였다. Zeta-potential 측정을 통해 electrophoretic mobility와 suspension의 분산 안정도를 평가 할 수 있었으며, X-ray 회절 분석(XRD)을 통하여 Ni 의 환원 여부를 확인하였다. 또한 Scanning electron microscopy(SEM) 분석을 통하여 미세구조 분석을 하였고, 최종적으로 Electron Probe Micro Analyzer (EPMA) 를 이용하여 다층 구조의 조성변화를 확인함으로 Ni/$Al_2O_3$의 FGM 코팅이 이루어졌음을 확인하였다.

In this paper, the low-temperature sintering of $TiO_2$ is approached to solve the problem of high temperature sintering which decreases the interconnection between particles or between substrate and particle. $TiO_2$ paste is prepared with Titanium (IV) isopropoxide as the precursor material and calcinate at different conditions (low temperature). In the results, since the changing of temperature and time of sintering, crystalline phase do not change and the intensities of anatase, rutile phase are higher. At $110^{\circ}C$, 7 h sintering condition, crystalline size of anatase and rutile phase are the smallest which are 13.07 and 17.47 nm, respectively. In addition, the highest zeta potential is about 32.77 mV and the repulsive force increases thus leading to the best of the dispersion characteristics between $TiO_2$ particles. Futhermore, DSSCs at that condition exhibits the highest efficiency with the values of $V_{oc}$, $J_{sc}$, FF and ${\eta}$ are 0.69 V, $8.60mA\;cm^{-2}$, 67.93% and 4.06%, respectively.

유기 분자의 자기조립 다분자막은 기질의 표면에서 전자기적인 상호작용을 통해 자발적으로 형성된다. 본 연구에서는 이 기술을 응용하여 고에너지물질의 안전성과 취급용이성이 향상됨을 입증하였다. 최근 다양한 연구에서 고에너지물질 결정 내부의 결함은 물질의 안전성을 저하시키는 요인이므로, 결정 입자의 크기를 감소시키는 연구가 중요시되고 있다. 이에 따라, 결정화 방법을 통해 제조된 나노 수준의 고에너지물질을 사용하였으며, 자기조립 다분자막 기술을 응용하여 물질의 안전성을 향상시켰다. 입도/표면전하/마찰감도/정전기 전하 등을 측정하여 표면개질 여부를 확인하였다.
