Understanding the whole knowledge of ceramics is essential for a person in charge of conservation of ceramics since their methods of manufacturing or materialistic features have very close relationship with their damaging process. Also, various executions of repair and restoration dealing with any damage in use have to be looked into. The information attained through those studies finds damaging causes of ceramics, which becomes a critical element when choosing a proper conservation treatment method and utilizes as indispensable data for permanent preservation. As part of scrutinizing materials of repair and restoration, this study examines the purpose, date, and the constituents of the materials used in metal bound rims adhered to the brim of ceramics. Among the subjected ceramics, the metal bound rims possible to scientific analysis were gone through element analyses with Portable ${\bullet}\"{I}$-XRF Spectrometer and SEM-EDS while the ingredients of the ceramics difficult to analyze were inferred by eye inspection of exhibition catalogues. The results of this study confirm that metal bound rims consisted of diverse materials were adhered to the brim of ceramics.

As a result of investigating research papers concerning the metal bound rim decoration on four pieces of 'Bowl, white porcelain with impressed floral design and sliver bound rim' and one piece of 'Bowl, white porcelain with sliver bound rim' from among the Jingdezhen white porcelain, which are Sinan remains that are kept in a National museum of Korea. It was found that the material of the bound rim was not silver but tin, and lacquer was used as glue. Based on such a scientific analysis, this study conducted a reproduction test of the manufacturing technique and the bonding method of the metal bound rim attached to the upper tip of the china ware. As a way of reproducing the bound rim, the study was able to discover the best method in terms of the avoidance of loss of materials and the workability out of various cutting methods for tin plates, and it also discovered that the use of lacquer in mixture with soil showed a better workability than the use only of a lacquer ingredient in a test of the bonding method of a metal bound rim using lacquer. Also, in the test of a drying method, a bonding method after drying within a short time at a relatively high temperature was found to be more effective than the drying method after humidifying at a normal temperature, which is used in traditional lacquer ware preservation treatment.

We observed the section and microstructure by Scanning Electron Mirrorscope (SEM) for 4 'Bowls, white porcelain with impressed floral design and sliver bound rim' and 1 'Dish, white porcelain with sliver bound rim', which was manufactured by reverse firing and metal bound rim was wrapped to the part of not being spread glaze at inlet, in Jingdezhen white porcelains, the relics dug from the seabed of Shinan conserved in National Museum of Korea, and found that the ingredient of metal rim was not silver but tin as a result of measuring by BEI of Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS). And as a result of survey with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) for checking the method of joining metal rim of mouth part, it was found that joining was made with materials made of lacquer.

디스플레이 화소 스위치 소자로 수소화된 비정질 실리콘 박막 트랜지스터를 금속 산화물 반도체 박막 트랜지스터(thin film transistor, TFT)로 대체하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 금속 산화물 중에서 박막 트랜지스터의 활성층으로 응용이 가능한 가장 대표적인 물질은 인듐(In), 갈륨(Ga), 아연(Zn), 산소(O) 화합물인 InGaZnO이다. InGaZnO TFT의 전기적 특성은 비정질 실리콘보다 우수한 것으로 확인이 되었지만, 소자의 신뢰성은 아직까지 해결해야 할 문제로 남아있다. 본 연구에서는 InGaZnO TFT를 제작하여 게이트 바이어스와 빛을 소자에 동시에 인가했을 때 발생하는 소자의 열화현상을 분석하였다. 다양한 채널 폭과 길이를 갖는 InGaZnO TFT를 제작하고 동시에 활성층의 구조를 두가지로 제작하였다. 첫번째는 활성층의 폭이 소오스/드레인 전극 폭보다 넓은 구조(active wide, AW)이고 두번째는 활성층의 폭이 소오스/드레인 전극 폭보다 좁은 구조(active narrow, AN) 구조이다. 이들 소자에 대해 +20 V의 게이트 바이어스와 빛을 동시에 인가하여 10000초 후의 소자 특성을 초기 특성과 비교하였을 때는 열화가 거의 발생하지 않았다. 반면 -20 V의 게이트 바이어스와 빛을 동시에 인가하여 10000초 후의 소자 특성을 초기 특성과 비교하면 전달특성 곡선이 음의 게이트 전압 방향으로 이동함과 동시에 문턱전압이하의 동작 영역에서 전달특성 곡선의 hump가 발생하였다. 이 hump 특성은 AW 구조의 소자와 AN 구조의 소자에서 나타나는 정도가 다름을 확인하였다. 이러한 열화 현상의 원인으로 음의 게이트 바이어스와 빛이 동시에 인가될 경우 InGaZnO 박막 내에는 활성층 내에 캐리어 밀도를 증가시키는 donor type의 defect가 발생하는 것으로 추정할 수 있었다. 추가적으로 활성층의 테두리 영역에서는 이러한 defect의 발생이 더 많이 발생함을 알 수 있었다. 따라서, 활성층의 테두리 영역이 소오스/드레인 전극과 직접 연결이 되는 AN 구조에서는 hump의 발생정도가 AW 구조보다 더 심하게 발생한 것으로 분석되었다.

A woodblock softening process using saltwater was investigated in order to reduce the cracks and distortion caused by the woodblock-making process and to make the woodblock softer and sculpturing easier. Although anatomical studies of woodblocks have been ongoing for years, little work has been done on softening treatments using natural materials. Hence, the purpose of this paper is to investigate the change in the physical properties of wood treated with saturated brine and the effect of salt on metal nails found embedded in woodblocks. After boiling for twelve h each in water and saturated brine, the saltwater-boiled specimens have longer drying times than the water-boiled specimens. Further, it was observed that salt particles penetrated the cells in the wood. As a result of exposing the copper and iron nails, which were stuck in each specimen, to a high humidity environment, the weight of the saltwater-boiled specimens increased due to the hygroscopicity of the salt. Corrosion of the nails also occurred. This result is similar to the problem that appears on the edge of a woodblock. In conclusion, it was shown that salt in the wood cells affects the corrosion of metal embedded in the wood.

Through scientific analysis, this study identified the material characteristics of metal foil decorating the border line and knotting of the National Folklore Cultural Heritage 'Pouch for the Sutra Embroidered with a Sun and Moon Design'. Through Scanning Electron Microscope-Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy results, it was estimated that silver (Ag) and sulfur (S) were present in the metal foil, and silver leaf was also attached to the medium. S may discolor Ag from yellow to black depending on its concsentration and contact time. Yellow color could not be identified in metal foil at present. But there existed an example of the preparation of a gold-colored flat silver thread; therefore, further research is needed to estimate the original color. The lamella was reddish brown on the back. Aluminum, silicon, and iron were also detected and were the main components found in red soil. This is believed to be the red adhesive in traditional flat gold thread and is considered to be an adhesive-related component of the metal foil. From the gas chromatography mass spectrometry results, the adhesive component was confirmed to be animal glue.

This study identified material properties through scientific analysis on Jikgeumdan(satin with gold threads) from Donggungbi-Wonsam and the gold threads used in the embroidery. The Donggungbi-Wonsam's base of gold threads were estimated to have used mulberry fiber's Korean paper(Hanji) because non-wood-based fibers were observed. The X-ray spectrometer showed that the Tongsuseulan of Donggungbi-Wonsam was a flat gold thread of pure gold and Jikgeumdan of flat silver thread of its Saekdong and Hansam. High sulfur levels were detected in the flat silver thread, which appeared to have formed silver sulfide by either manufacturing process using sulfur or conservation environment. he dragon insignia's embroidery is also described as two types twisted gold threads; pure gold and alloying-gold and silver. while dragon insignia's border line is decorated with a twisted gold thread of pure gold. In particular, it was investigated that adhesives such as an animal glue, a protein-based compound by gas chromatography mass spectrometry. Additionally, XRF and Raman spectroscopy analysis on the mixture substances between the metal surface and the base paper of gold threads identified talc and quartz in the gold threads and Seokganju(hematite) in the flat silver threads.
