치과재료의 개발은 치과 치료 기술에 있어서 가장 중요한 요소이며, 현재 일반화되고 있는 치과 치료 기술 중 하나가 임플란트 시술이다. 임플란트의 기술 개발은 주로 임플란트 나사의 표면개질을 통한 기능개선에 초점을 ��추어 진행되어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Ti 임플란트 표면상에 양극산화법을 적용하여 다양한 지름 및 기공 크기를 갖는 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브를 제조하여 전자빔 조사를 통한 표면개질시 그 특성에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 특히 전자빔 조사가 Ti/$TiO_2$ 나노튜브 표면상에 존재 가능한 조골세포의 성장 특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 양극산화법을 이용한 Ti/$TiO_2$ 나노튜브는 전해질로서 HF와 $NH_4F$를 사용하였으며, 20-80 V의 인가 전압하에서 내경 약 80 nm, 외경 약 124 nm 및 길이 약 280 nm-14 ${\mu}m$의 비교적 균질한 지름 및 분포를 갖는 Ti/$TiO_2$ 나노튜브를 제조하였다. 전자빔 조사는 EB-Tech (대전, 한국)의 electron-beam accelerator(Model ELV-4)를 이용하였으며, 1.0 MeV의 빔 에너지로 총 흡수선량이 50 kGy, 500 kGy 및 5,000 kGy로 조사하였다. 전자빔을 조사하기 전 후 Ti/$TiO_2$ 나노튜브 표면상에 조골세포주(Osteoblast cell)의 배양시간의 변화에 따른 효과를 연구한 결과 배양 전 후 전자빔 조사선량의 증가에 따라 조골세포의 흡착률이 증가함을 확인할 수 있었다. 특히 HF전해질을 이용한 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브의 경우 5,000 kGy 조사선량의 전자빔을 조사한 후 조골세포 흡착률이 약 160% 증가하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 전자빔 조사 전 후 조골세포 흡착률의 변화원인은 전자빔 조사 유무에 따른 $Ti^{3+}$와 $Ti^{4+}$의 변화에 기인함을 규명하였다. 이러한 결과는 향후 임플란트용 Ti/$TiO_2$ 나노튜브의 표면 개질시 전자빔의 유용성을 제시한다고 할 수 있다.

Ni base superalloys are composed of solid sohltion hardening elements(Co, Cr. Mo. W and so on) and $\gamma '$ precipitation hardening elements(A1, Ti, Nb, Ta and so on). To Improve the mechanical properties and oxidation resistanre of superalloys, rare earth elements(%r, Hf, Y and so on) are added to the inner substrate, or are used as coating materials. Their pffects on the growth rate and adhes~on of oxide are changed according to the kinds of oxides such as $AI_2O_3$ and $Cr_2O_3$. The effect of yttrium on the oxidation rate, grain size of oxide, internal structure, and crack resistance was investigated for two kinds of Ni-base superalloys. One in AF'115 superalloy containing Hf and the other is MA6000 superalloy containing $Y_2O_3$. They werr owid~zed at high temperature after yttrium surface modification using ion coater. Yttrium coating on the AF115 and MA6000 superalloys results in a marked change in the growth of the inner oxide. For AF115 superalloy, the degree of gram boundary segregation of $Cr_2O_3$, and prefer en^ tial oxidation of Hf are decreased, and the shape of inner oxidation layer was changed from triangle to plate type. For MA6000 superalloy, $Cr_2O_3$ oxide scale was transformed as outer oxidation layer of CrZOI and inner oxidation layer of $Cr_2O_3$.

The purpose of this paper studied the optimal hydrogen production condition of plasma reforming system to operate the PEMFC. Plasma reforming reactor used with Ni catalyst reactor at the same time, So $H_2$ concentration increased. Also the WGS and PrOx reactor were designed to remove CO concentration under 10 ppm, because CO has effect on catalyst poisoning of PEMFC. The maximum $H_2$ production condition in plasma reforming system was S/C ratio 3.2, $CH_4$ flow rate 2.0 L/min, catalytic reactor temperature $700{\pm}5^{\circ}C$ and input power 900 W. At this time, the concentration of produced syngas was $H_2$ 70.2%, CO 7.5%, $CO_2$ 16.2%,$CH_4$ 1.8%. The hydrogen yield, hydrogen selectivity and $CH_4$ conversion rate were 56.8%, 38.1% and 92.2% respectively. The energy efficiency and specific energy requirement were 37.0%, 183.6 kJ/mol. In additional, The experiment of $CO_2/CH_4$ ratio proceeded.

In this study, as part of the development of a monitoring system for the efficient maintenance of steel pipes, an experimental study was conducted to evaluate the performance of steel pipes treated with modified polyethylene coating. In the case of the conventional mechanical pre-coating method, there was a deterioration in polyethylene adhesion during expansion testing, which led to the application of a chemical pre-treatment process using a calcium-mixed phosphate zinc film to resolve this issue. SEM and EDX analyses showed that the densest structure was observed at a Zn/Ca ratio of 1.0, and improved heat resistance compared to the conventional method was confirmed. Additionally, to prevent coating detachment during expansion, an evaluation of adhesion and elongation was conducted on steel pipes with modified polyethylene coating, incorporating materials such as elastomers based on maleic anhydride grafting, metal oxides, blocking agents, and slip agents. Experimental results showed that the specimen (S4) containing all modified materials exhibited more than a 25% performance improvement compared to the specimen (S2) containing only metal oxides. Lastly, the development and performance evaluation of wedge-shaped socketing and pressing wheels, which are part of the pipe fixing accessories, were conducted to prevent surface coating damage on the completed pipes.

A nonthermal plasma-assisted fuel reformer was developed and the effects of operating variables on the performance of this reformer were studied. The $H_2$-rich reformed gas from the reformer was injected into a diesel engine under an idle condition and the effects of the amount of injected gas on the NO and soot reduction were investigated. It was found that with increasing electric power consumption, the degree of facility of ignition of the reforming reaction in the reformer could be enhanced. The performance of the reformer including $H_2$ concentration, $H_2$ recovery, and energy conversion was affected only by the O/C mole ratio. This was because the equilibrium reaction temperature was governed by the O/C mole ratio. With increasing O/C mole ratio, the $H_2$ recovery and energy conversion passed through the maximum values of 33.4% and 66%, respectively, at an O/C mole ratio between 1.2 and 1.5. The reason why the $H_2$ recovery and energy conversion increased with increasing O/C mole ratio when the O/C mole ratio was lower than $1.2{\sim}1.5$ appeared to be that the complete oxidation reaction occurred more enough with increasing O/C mole ratio in this low O/C mole ratio range and accordingly the reaction temperature increased. Whereas the reason why the $H_2$ recovery and energy conversion decreased with increasing O/C mole ratio when the O/C mole ratio was higher than $1.2{\sim}1.5$ appeared to be that the complete oxidation reaction was further advanced and the $H_2$ recovery and energy conversion decreased. As the weight ratio of reformed diesel to total diesel which entered the diesel engine was increased to $18.2{\sim}23.5%$, NO and soot reduction efficiencies increased and reached as values high as 68.5% and 23.5%, respectively.

Reducing the emission of carbon dioxide, which is the main contributor to the green house effect, is becoming a global hot issue. Great attention has been thus given to utilization of carbon dioxide rather than just capturing and isolating it because it could convert carbon dioxide to high-value chemicals. In this paper, recent research trends are investigated on the catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide to syngas in the context of $CH_4$, dry-reforming, trireforming, and the electro-catalytic conversion of carbon dioxide through SOFC(Solid Oxide Fuel Cell) system. Research trends for utilizing syngas to high-value-added useful products, mainly fuel such as DME(Dimethyl Ether) are also discussed.

In this paper, new concept of the diesel fuel processing is introduced for the stable operation of solid oxide fuel cells (SOFCs). Heavier hydrocarbons than $CH_4$, such as ethylene, ethane, propane, and etc., induce the carbon deposition on anode of SOFCs. In the reformate of heavy hydrocarbons (diesel, gasoline, kerosene, and JP-8), concentration of ethylene is usually higher than low hydrocarbons such as ethane, propane, and butane. So, removal of low hydrocarbons (over C1-hydrocarbons), especially ethylene, at the reformate gases is important for stable operation of SOFCs. New methodology as named "post-reformer" is introduced for removing the low hydrocarbons at the reformate gas stream. Catalyst of the NECS-PR4 is selected for post-reforming catalyst because the catalyst of NECS-PR4 shows the high selectivity for removing low hydrocarbons and achieving the high reforming efficiency. The diesel reformer and post-reformer are continuously operated for about 200 hours as integrated mode. The reforming performance is not degraded and low hydrocarbons in the diesel reformate are completely removed.

본 실험에서 PET 위 무전해 구리 도금을 위한 전처리 방법 중 하나인 UV 조사를 통해 전처리를 한 후 PET 표면의 특성과 염기성 무전해 도금액이 개질된 표면에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구를 하였다. 일반적으로 PET 표면을 개질시키기 위해 UVC(254nm) 파장을 이용하여 PET bond break (Chain Scission)을 이루는 것으로 알려진다. 이때 공기 중의 산소와 UV 조사를 통해 생성된 PET 내의 free radical과 산화 반응을 통해 친수성이 높은 표면을 형성하게 된다. PET 표면의 친수성을 측정하기 위해 접촉각 측정기가 사용되었으며, 표면의 거칠기 및 형상을 관찰하기 위해 AFM과 FE-SEM를 각각 이용하였다. 또한 PET 표면의 구조 변화는 XPS를 통해 분석을 진행 하였다. UV 조사 후 표면의 거칠기 및 친수성은 높아졌지만, 무전해 도금은 이루어지지 않았다. 분석 결과, 이는 표면에 형성된 Low Molecular Weight Oxidation Compound(LMWOC)가 염기성 수용액 내에서 용해되어 모두 씻겨 나가 표면에 형성된 Sn/Pd을 모두 떨어트린 것으로 판단되며, 위와같은 이유로 UV 조사 후 습식 공정에 적용하기 위해 표면개질 된 PET를 염기성 수용액을 통해 전처리가 필요한 것으로 사료된다.

Single particle of nickel hydroxide and the surface-treated one with cobalt element were performed to review the effect of LiOH additive in alkaline electrolyte for Ni-MH batteries using microelectrode test system. As a result of cyclic voltammetry, the electrochemical behaviors such as the oxidation/reduction and oxygen evolution reaction are clearly observed for a single particle of nickel hydroxide, respectively. Furthermore, the reduction current peak of nickel hydroxide added with LiOH in electrolyte was very low and broad compared with the normal nickel hydroxide without an additive LiOH, which had a bad effect to the crystallization structure of nickel hydroxide. However, it was found that capacity and cycle properties of the nickel hydroxide treated with cobalt greatly increased by the addition of LiOH.
