The composite anodes of exfoliated graphite (EG) and multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) were fabricated by using the binders with different content of epoxy in Nafion solution. The influence of the epoxy content in the anode binder on the performance of microbial fuel cell (MFC) was examined in a batch reactor. With the increase in the epoxy content in the anode binder, increase in physical binding force was observed, but at the same time an increase in the internal resistance of MFC was also observed. This was due to the increase in activation and ohmic resistance. For the anode binder without epoxy, the maximum power density was $1,892mW/m^2$, but a decrease in maximum power density was observed with the increase in the epoxy content in the anode binder. With the epoxy content of 50% in the anode binder, a decrease in the maximum power density to $1,425mW/m^2$ was observed, which about 75.3% of the anode binder without epoxy is. However, the material consisting of the same amount of epoxy and Nafion solution is a good alternative for anode binder in terms of durability and economics of MFC.

Utilization of iron bearing dusts has been needed agglomeration prior to use as a burden in blast furnace The cold bonded pellet process using iron bearing dusts has been developed as an alternative to the conventional heat indurated pelletizing process. Partial substitution of cements with cheaper materials would decrease the production cost of pellet. This paper discusses the strength of pellet containing blast furnace slag as a bonding material in pelletizing a cold bonded agglomerates. Depending upon the quality, half of the cement required may be replaced by slag in the pellets with a strength of around 150 kgf. Some of the physicochemical properties of the bonding materials are also investigated in the present work.

This study investigated the effect of the structure of the crosslinking agent used in contact lens polymerization on the physical properties and drug dissolution of contact lenses.es Contact lenses were manufactured using 0.3% and 3% of 4 types of crosslinking agents, respectively, and ofloxacin was used as the drug. Contact lenses using hydrophilic crosslinking agents improved water contents and wettability, and the more hydrophilic functional groups, the greater the effect. Contact lenses with a high concentration of crosslinking agent had a low concentration of eluted drug and a longer release time. The cross-linking agent structure of contact lenses had an effect on improving the performance of contact lenses and controlling drug release.

A study was conducted to improve the adhesion of propellant, liner,and insulation. Insulation was shown to be more advantageous in improving the adhesion when a barrier coat was applied compared to a bare insulation layer. It was confirmed that the adhesion strength between the insulation and the propellant improves as the thickness of the liner coating increases. The liner was cured for 24 h. If the liner is cured for a long time, it will adversely affect adhesion. Adhesion is also improved when a bonding agent is applied. As the bonding agent content increases, the adhesion improves. There is a change in the adhesive strength depending on the type of bonding agent used. HX-868 shows slightly more improved adhesion than HX-752.

Calcium channel에 작용하는 dihydropyridine(DHP) 계열의 calcium channel 효능제와 길항제의 caicium channel에 대한 작용과 muscarinic receptor에 대한 작용과의 관계를 조사하기 위하여 [$^3$H]QNB와 [$^3$H]nitrendipine 결합실험을 시행하고 이를 지표로 하여 칼슘효능제와 길항제의 이들 receptors에 대한 결합성질을 검토하였다. 본 연구결과 칼슘 channel 효능제인 Bay K 8644는 칼슘길항제인 nicardipine 및 nimodipine과 같이 고농도에서 muscarinic receptor에 대한 [$^3$H]QNB결합을 경쟁적으로 억제하였으며 이들 약물의 muscarinic receptor에 대한 Ki치는 각각 16.7 $\mu$M, 3.5 $\mu$M, 및 15.5 $\mu$M이었다. 한편, 이들 약물은 다같이 칼슘 channel의 high affinity DHP결합부위에 대한 [$^3$H]nitrendipine 결합을 억제하였으나 이 부위에 대한 Bay K 8644, nicardipine, 및 nimodipine의 Ki치는 각각 4 nM, 0.1 nM, 및 0.2 nM로서 muscarinic receptor에 대한 Ki치 보다 4,000-75,000배 작았다. 뿐만 아니라 [$^3$H]QNB결합을 완전히 차단하는 고농도의 atropine(1 $\mu$M)에 의해서도 [$^3$H]nitrendipine결합이 전혀 영향을 받지 않았다. 따라서 DHP계 약물의 muscarinic receptor에 대한 작용은 칼슘channel에 대한 이들 약물의 작용을 연구하거나 임상적 치료 목적으로 사용할때는 나타나지 않을 것으로 생각된다.

The purpose of this research is to prepare the aluminum electrode coated with activated carbon for removing air pollution dust. The experiments were studied on the selection of optimal polymer for binding aluminum plate with powdered activated carbon, preventing the pore blocking of activated carbon from polymer binder, and the dust treatability for the prepared activated carbon electrode. The optimal adhesive for coating activated carbon on an electric aluminum plate was polyvinyl acetate (PVA) with vinyl functional group. For the opening of the blocked pore with polymer, it was very effective to embed polymer solvent in pore of activated catbon firstly before mixing activated carbon with PVA, and then to devolatilize the embedded solvent of carbon pore at high temperature. The mass of trapped dust on aluminum electrode coated with activated carbon was about double of the trapped one on just aluminum electrode.

The composite anodes of expanded graphite (EG) and multiwall carbon nanotube (MWCNT) for microbial fuel cells were fabricated by using coal tar pitch (CTP) binder containing nickel (Ni), and the effect of the anodes with the binders on the performance of the MFCs were examined in a batch reactor. During the start-up of the MFCs, quick increase in voltage was observed after a short lag phase time, indicating that the CTP binder is biocompatible. The biomass attatched on the anode surface was more at higher Ni content in the binder, as well as at smaller amount of CTP binder for the fabrication of the anode. The internal resistance of the MFC was smaller for the anode with more biomass. Based on the results, the ideal combination of CTP and Ni for the CTP binder for anode was 2 g and 0.2 g, respectively. The maximum power density was $731.8mW/m^2$, which was higher 23.7% than the anode with Nafion binder as control. The CTP binder containing Ni for the fabrication of anode is a good alternative in terms of performance and economics of MFCs.

Water-based alumina tapes for application of all-ceramic crowns were fabricated using PVP as binder that is biocompatible, highly soluble in solvents, and no residue leftafter firing. Tensile strength of alumina tapes was governed by binder/(binder+plasticizer)ratio. On the other hand, linear shrinkage and density were determined by alumina/(alumina+organic) ratio. Composite for all-ceramic crowns, prepared by infiltration of a glass into sintered porous alumina, showed high flexural strength which increased with increasing sintered density.

뮬라이트, 지르코니아, 뮬라이트/지르코니아 비수성 현탁액의 분산 및 레올로지에 미치는 공정보조제의 영향이 침전밀도, 점도, 입자크기를 측정함으로써 검토되었다. 현탁액의 분산안정성 (높은 침전밀도와 낮은 점도로 특징 된)은 분산제+가소제+결합제를 함유하는 경우에 비하여 분산제 또는 분산제+가소제를 함유하는 경우가 우수하였다. Ball mulling 후의 입자크기분포는 공정보조제의 종류에 거의 영향을 받지 않았다. 결합제를 부가적으로 함유하는 현탁액은 상대적으로 강한 shear thinning 거동을 나타내었다.

One-bottle adhesive system was recently developed in order to simplify the clinical skills and save chair time after continuous improvements on dentin bonding agents. To test the shear bond strength of a new "one-bottle adhesive" system to bovine dentin various commercially available one-bottle adhesives(Prime & Bond $2.1^{(R)}$, One Coat $Bond^{(R)}$, Syntac $Sprint^{(R)}$, Single $Bond^{(R)}$) were included for comparison. And we observe the interfacial morphology by scanning electron microscope. The results were as follows; 1. Group II (One Coat $Bond^{(R)}$) showed higher shear bond strength than group I (Prime & Bond $2.1^{(R)}$), group III(Syntac $Sprint^{(R)}$), and group IV(Single $Bond^{(R)}$), but no statistically significant difference was founded between groups(p>.05). 2. Relating reverse-cone shape resin tags were observed in samples of all groups under SEM. We could observed hybrid layer, resin tag and many lateral branches in every group. But, we observed in group III rare lateral branched than other three groups, and discontinuous hybrid layer.
