최근 휴대용 전자기기의 전원으로서 가장 널리 사용되고 있는 리튬 이차 전지는 우수한 에너지 밀도, 낮은 자가방전 속도로 인한 비 메모리 효과, 높은 작동전압으로 다양한 전자기기뿐만 아니라 미래형 자동차산업 및 항공산업 분야에서도 점차 사용 빈도가 증가하고 있다. 현재 리튬 이차 전지의 음극물질로 널리 사용되고 있는 흑연의 경우 초기 용량 감소가 크고 이론적인 최대용량(372 mAhg-1, LiC6)이 낮다는 문제가 있어 다양한 대체물질의 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중에서도 Si는 Li과 반응하여 Li4.4Si합금을 형성하며 높은 이론용량을 갖고 상용화된 전지의 전압(~3.7 V)보다 0.3 V정도 밖에 낮지 않기때문에 재료의 개발과 함께 바로 사용화 할 수 있다는 장점이 있다. 그러나 Si의 경우 금속 자체로 사용되는 경우 Li 이온이 삽입되어 Li4.4Si형성 시에 310%의 부피 팽창을 일으키게 되어 분쇄반응(pulverization)을 일으키고 충 방전에 따라 급격한 용량 감소를 야기한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 RF 마그네트론 스퍼터링을 이용하여 보다 간단한 방법으로 Si층 사이에 수 나노의 Al층을 삽입하여 Si 입자의 부피 팽창으로부터 오는 응력을 상쇄시켜 높은 방전 용량 특성과 우수한 수명 특성을 동시에 구현하였다.

W-Cu alloy is attractive to thermal managing materials in microelectronic devices because of its good thermal properties. The metal injection molding (MIM) of W-Cu systems can satisfy the need for mass production of the complex shaped W-Cu parts in semiconductor devices. In this study, the application of MIM process of the mechanically alloyed (MA) W-Cu composite powders, which had higher sinterability were investigated. The MA W-Cu powders and reduction treated (RT) powders were injected by using of the multicomponent binder system. The multi-stage debinding cycles were adopted in $N_2$ and $H_2$ atmosphere. The isostatic repressing treatment was carried out in order to improve the relative density of brown parts. The brown part of RT W-Cu composite powder sintered at 110$0^{\circ}C$ had shown the higher sinterability compared to that of MA powder. The relative sintered density of all specimens increased to 96% by sintering at 120$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The relationship between green density and the sintering behavior of MA W-Cu composite powder was analyzed and discussed on the basis of the nanostructured characteristics of the MA W-Cu composite powder.

In this report the developing trends of several clean and green propellants have been summarized. A low-acid clean propellant has been developed, which substantially reduced the content of hydrochloric acid(HCl) in the solid rocket exhaust. Although the chlorine-free approach is now preferred, this technology has not been proved yet. Another acid suppression effect of Magnalium(Mg-Al Alloy) was investigated. Reports says that the concentration of HCl could be reduced to approximately one-fifth of conventional propellant. Many 'green' propellants with low toxicity are being developed for next-generation post-boost propulsion systems, in which combustion research on the Al or Mg fine metal particles with hot steam in various stoichiometric conditions are being performed.

Transition metal ions($Ni^{2+}$, $Cr^{3+}$ and $V^{5+}$) doped $TiO_2$ nanostructured powders were synthesized by mechanical alloying(MA) to shift the adsorption threshold into the visible light region. The synthesized powders were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM and BET for structural analysis, UV-Vis and photoluminescence spectrum for the optical study. Also, photocatalytic abilities were evaluated by decomposition of 4-chlorophenol(4CP) under ultraviolet and visible light irradiations. Optical studies showed that the absorption wavelength of transition metal ions doped $TiO_2$ powders moved to visible light range, which was believed to be induced by the energy level change due to the doping. Among the prepared $TiO_2$ powders, $NiO^{2+}$ doped $TiO_2$ powders, showed excellent photooxidative ability in 4CP decomposition.

1990년도 초반에 개발되어 나노분말의 제조 공정으로 집중적으로 연구되어온 화학기상응축공정은 고강도용 나노분말 소재이외에 기능성 자성재료로의 응용에 주로 이용되어 왔다. 최근에는 이러한 응용이외에 나노분말의 표면을 다양한 이종 소재로 응용하고자하는 나노캡슐(혹은 core/shell)화 제조 공정으로 진보되어 다양한 합금 시스템으로 발전하게 되었다. 특히 최근 Particles 2005, Surface Modification in Particle Technology 학회에서는 나노금속 혹은 세라믹 분말에 PMMA, PE등 polymer의 유기화합물의 코팅하여, DNA나 RNA를 부착하거나 추출해내는 나노캡슐화 공정 연구가 매우 활발하게 진행됨을 보여주고 있으며, 이들 나노 캡슐의 개발은 약물전달계(Drug delivery system), 온열치료용 및 MRI 조영제 등의 바이오재료로의 응용가능성이 크게 기대되어 이에 대한 연구들이 활발하게 진행될 것으로 예상된다.

In the view point of the environmental conservation and the energy reduction, the recycling of metal scrap is coming as one of the global subjects in the world. In this study, the movement of intermetallics with electromagnetic force in a melt of a scrap of Al-Si-Cu alloy (JIS ADC12), which was widely used in diecasting process, was investigated in order to eliminate the Fe element, which was usually accumulated in a scrap. In this study, we applied electromagnetic method to eliminate Fe element in ADC12 aluminum alloy scrap which contains 1.64wt.% Fe and the effects of electromagnetic force on the particle movement was visualized and confirmed by water modeling and experiment. As a result, the Fe intermetallic compounds are moved to the direction opposite to that of the electromagnetic force as the force applies, thus eliminated from the bulk metal. Therefore, the content of Fe in matrix decreased from 1.64wt.% to 0.45wt.%.

The liquid metal shearing device was constructed and assembled with a commercial high-pressure die-caster in order to induce intensive turbulent shearing force on molten aluminum alloys. The effect of the liquid metal shearing on the microstructure and tensile properties of A356 alloys was investigated with the variation of iron content. The experimental results show that dendritic primary ${\alpha}$-Al phase was effectively modified into a equiaxed form by the liquid metal shearing. It was also found that the needle-like ${\beta}$-AlFeSi phase in a Fe containing A356 alloy was changed into a blocky shape resulting in the improved mechanical properties. Based on the mechanical properties, it was suggested that the iron content in A356 alloy could be more widely tolerated by utilizing the liquid metal shearing HPDC process.

Metal foam is a porous or cellular structure material and representative property is a very high porosity. Foamed materials have very special properties such as sound, vibration, energy and impact absorption capacity. Especially this properties are widely used for safety demands of architecture, auto and aircraft industry. But metal foam need to increased its compression strength and hardness. This study were researched about Al-Si alloy foams with variation amount of Si contents for their fabrication and properties such as porosity, cell structure, microstructure and mechanical properties. The result are that the range of pore size is 2~4 $mm{\phi}$, the high porosity are 88%, high yield strength is 1.8MPa, the strain ratio is 60~70% and vickers hardness is 33.1~50.6.

High temperature uniaxial compression tests in the alpha single phase region were carried out on the Ti -43mo1%Al intermetallic compound, in order to obtain oriented lamellar microstructure. The compression deformation temperatures and strain rates are from 1573k to 1623k and 1.0x10$^{-4}$ s to 5.0x10$^{-3}$ s, respectively. Fully lamellar microstructure was observed after the uniaxial compression deformation in a single phase region followed by cooling to room temperature. Lamellar colony diameter depended on strain rates and test temperatures. The diameter varied between 8601m and 300fm. Stress-strain curve showed a work softening and the size of lamellar colony diameter varied depending on peak stresses. This shows the occurrence of dynamic recrystallization. Texture measurements after the uniaxial compression deformation, showed the development of fiber during dynamic recrystallization. It is seen that the area for the maximum pole density existed in 35 degrees away from the compression plane. The texture sharpens with a decrease in strain rate

In this study, the surface changes of titanium alloy using laser surface treatment and the surface analysis using laser-induced plasma spectroscopy were carried out. The laser surface treatment induced changes in surface roughness and the diffusion of atmospheric elements. Excessive melting or less melting caused roughness changes, but when moderate levels of energy were applied, a smoother surface could be obtained than the initial surface. In the process, the diffusion of atmospheric elements took place. To analyze the diffusion of atmospheric elements with respect to surface morphology, the surfaces were re-shaped with grinding. In this experimental conditions, the effect of plasma formation by surface roughness was identified. Compensated plasma signals for the material properties were obtained and analysed by removing the background plasma signal.
