High-strength low-alloy (HSLA) steels show excellent toughness when trace amounts of transition elements are added. In steels, prior austenite grain size (PAGS), which is often determined by the number of added elements, is a critical factor in determining the mechanical properties of the material. In this study, we used two etching methods to measure and compare the PAGS of specimens with bainitic HSLA steels having different Nb contents These two methods were nital etching and picric acid etching. Both methods confirmed that the sample with high Nb content exhibited smaller PAGS than its low Nb counterpart because of Nb's ability to hinder austenite recrystallization at high temperatures. Although both etching approaches are beneficial to PAGS estimation, the picric acid etching method has the advantage of enabling observation of the interface containing Nb precipitate. By contrast, the nital etching method has the advantage of a very short etching time (5 s) in determining the PAGS, with the picric acid etching method being considerably longer (5 h).

Herein, we fabricated magnesium oxalate nanostructures by chemical etching of a magnesium foil in alcoholic solvents containing acidic media. Interestingly, we could obtain magnesium oxalate nanowires in ethanolic oxalic acid. Growth mechanism for magnesium oxalate nanowires was investigated in terms of etching time. Annealing conditions were determined from TGA results. Magnesium oxalate nanowires were converted to magnesium oxide nanowires by thermal treatment and the magnesium oxide nanowires were examined by FE-SEM and FT-IR measurement.

최근 개개인 건강에 대한 관심이 증가하고 사물인터넷이 발달함에 따라 웨어러블 헬스케어 분야 시장이 급속도로 성장하고 있다. 특히 인체에서 발생하는 신호를 실시간으로 감지하고 모니터링 할 수 있는 웨어러블 센서의 중요도가 늘어나고 있으며 특히 맥박에 의한 혈관 변화처럼 미세한 인체의 변형 신호나 체온, 외부의 온도 등에 의해 발생하는 신호를 감지할 수 있는 고감도 스트레인 센서와 온도 센서에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 하지만 현재 사용되고 있는 웨어러블 센서들은 몇 가지의 한계점을 가지고 있으며 상용화되기에 부족한 문제가 있었다. 본고에서는 이와 같은 기존 웨어러블 센서의 문제를 해결할 수 있는 소재로 각광받고 있는 나노 입자 기반 웨어러블 센서에 대하여 다루고자 한다. 나노 입자를 사용한 웨어러블센서는 간단한 방법으로 고감도를 확보할 수 있고 용액 공정을 통해 저가로 생산이 가능하기 때문에 웨어러블 센서 소재로서 적합하다. 여기서는 나노 입자의 기본적 특성과 나노 입자 기반 스트레인 센서 및 온도 센서 동향을 소개한다. 차세대 헬스케어 분야의 선두 주자가 되기 위해서는 나노 소재를 기반으로 한 웨어러블 센서의 개발과 연구가 중요하다.

In this study, in order to improve the performance of the reverse osmosis membrane with high water flux and high salt rejection, a study was conducted on the evaluation of characteristics according to the curing temperature and time during various additives and interfacial polymerization. The morphology of the membrane with no additives and the membrane with additives both showed a "rigid-and-valley" structure, confirming that the polyamide layer was successfully polymerized on the surface of the porous support layer. In addition, the additive of 2-Ethyl-1,3-hexanediol (EHD) had improved hydrophilicity and water flux, which was confirmed by measuring the contact angle. Finally, a highly permeable TFC membrane with NaCl and MgSO₄ salt rejection of 97.78% and 98.7% and a high water flux of 3.31 L/(m²⋅h⋅bar) was prepared.

Recent attention has been drawn to materials that undergo reversible expansion and contraction in response to external stimuli, leading to morphological changes. These materials hold potential applications in various fields including soft robotics, sensors, and artificial muscles. In this study, a novel material capable of responding to high temperatures for protection or encapsulation is proposed. To achieve this, liquid crystal elastomer (LCE) with nematic-isotropic transition properties and polyimide (PI) with high mechanical strength and thermal stability were utilized. To utilize a solution process, a dope solution was synthesized and introduced into micro-printing techniques to develop a two-dimensional pattern of LCE/PI bilayer structures with sub-millimeter widths. The honeycomb-patterned LCE/PI bilayer mesh combined the mechanical strength of PI with the high-temperature contraction behavior of LCE, and selective printing of LCE facilitated deformation in desired directions at high temperatures. Consequently, the functionality of selectively and reversibly encapsulating specific high-temperature materials was achieved. This study suggests potential applications in various actuator fields where functionalities can be implemented across different temperature ranges without the need for electrical energy input, contingent upon molecular changes in LCE.

This study demonstrates a method for synthesis of amine functionalized and easily size controllable silica nanoparticles through biomimetic polyamine complex. First, we generate a polyamine nanocomplex composed of polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) and phosphate ion (pi) to synthesize silica nanoparticles. The size of polyamine nanocomplex is reversibly adjusted within the range of about 50 to 300 nm according to the pH conditions. Amine groups of the PAH in the nanocomplex catalyzes the condensation reaction of silicic acid. As a results, silica nanoparticles are synthesized based on nanocomplex in a very short time. Finally, we synthesize silica nanoparticles with various sizes according to the pH conditions. In the process of synthesizing silica nanoparticles, polyamine chains that act as catalysts are incorporated into the inside and surface of the particles, subsequently, amine groups are exposed on the surface of silica nanoparticles. As a results, the synthesis and surface modification of silica nanoparticles are performed simultaneously, and the silica nanoparticles introduced with amine groups can be easily synthesized by adjusting the sizes of the silica nanoparticles. Finally, we demonstrate the synthesis of functional silica nanoparticles in a short time under milder conditions than the conventional synthetic method. Furthermore, this method can be applicable to bioengineering and materials fields.
