Nitinol, a shape memory alloy (SMA), is manufactured from titanium and nickel and it used in various fields such as electrical applications, micro sensors. It is also recommended as a material in medical for implant because it has excellent organic compatibility. Nitinol is intended to be inserted into the human body, products require a high-quality surface and low residual stress. To overcome this problems, explore electrolyte polishing (EP) is being explored that may be appropriate for use with nitinol. EP is a particularly useful machining method because, as a non contact machining method, it produces neither machining heat nor internal stress in the machined materials. Sandpaper polishing is also useful machining method because, as a contact machining method, it can easily good surface roughness in the machined materials. The electrolyte polishing (EP) process has an effect of improving the surface roughness as well as the film polishing process, but has a characteristic that the residual stress is hardly generated because the work hardened layer is not formed on the processed surface. The sandpaper polishing process has the effect of improving the surface roughness but the residual stress remains in the surface. We experimented with three conditions of polishing process. First condition is the conventional polishing. Second condition is the electrochemical polishing(EP). And Last condition is a mixing process with the conventional polishing and the EP. Surface roughness and residual stress of the nitinol before a polishing process were $0.474{\mu}mRa$, -45.38MPa. Surface roughness and residual stress of the nitinol after mixing process of the conventional polishing and the EP were $1.071{\mu}mRa$, -143.157MPa. Surface roughness and residual stress of the nitinol after conventional polishing were $0.385{\mu}mRa$ and -205.15MPa. Surface roughness and residual stress of sandpaper and EP nitinol were $1.071{\mu}mRa$, -143.157MPa. The result shows that the EP process is a residual stress free process that eliminates the residual stress on the surface while eliminating the deformed layer remaining on the surface through composite surface machining rather than single surface machining. The EP process can be used for biomaterials such as nitinol and be applied to polishing of wafers and various fields.

$(Bi,La)_4Ti_3O_{12}$ (BLT) 물질은 결정 방향에 따른 강한 이방성의 강유전 특성을 나타낸다. 따라서 BLT 박막을 이용하여 FeRAM 소자 등을 제작하기 위해서는 결정의 방향성을 세심하게 제어하는 것이 매우 중요하다. 현재까지 연구된 BLT 박막의 방향성 조절 결과를 보면, BLT 박막을 스핀 코팅 법 (spin coating method)으로 중착하고, 핵생성 열처리 단계를 조절하여 무작위 방향성 (random orientation)을 갖는 박막을 제조하는 방법이 일반적이었다. 그런데 이러한 스핀 코팅법에서의 핵생성 단계의 제어는 공정 조건 확보가 너무 어려운 단점이 있다. 이러한 어려움을 극복할 수 있는 대안은 스퍼터링 증착법 (sputtering deposition method), PLD법 (pulsed laser deposition method) 등과 같은 PVD (physical vapor deposition) 법의 증착방법을 적용하는 것이다. PVD 법으로 증착하는 경우에는 이미 박막 내에 무수한 결정핵이 존재하기 때문에 핵생성 단계가 필요 없게 된다. PVD 증착법의 적용을 위해서는 타겟 (target)의 제조 및 평가 실험이 선행되어야 한다. 그런데 벌크 BLT 재료의 소결공정 조건과 전기적 특성에 관한 연구 결과는 거의 발표 되지 않고 있다. 본 실험에서는 $Bi_2O_3$, $TiO_2$ and $La_2O_3$ 분말을 이용하여 최적의 조성을 구하기 위하여 Bi양을 변화시키며 타겟을 제조 하였다. 혼합된 분말을 하소 후 pallet 형태로 성형하여 소결을 실시하였다. 시편을 1mm 두께로 연마하고, 표면에 silver 전극을 인쇄하여 전기적 특성을 측정하였다. Bi양이 3.28몰 첨가된 조성에서 최대의 잔류분극 (2Pr) 값을 얻었고, 이때의 값은 약 $18{\mu}C/cm^2$ 정도였다. 최적화된 조성 ($Bi_{3.28}La_{0.75}Ti_3O_{12}$)으로 BLT 타겟을 제조하여 PLD법으로 박막을 제조하였다. 박막 제조 시 압력은 $1{\times}10^{-1}\;{\sim}\;1{\times}10^{-4}\;Torr$ 범위에서 변화시켰다. $1{\times}10^{-1}\;Torr$ 압력을 제외하고는 모든 압력에서 BLT 박막이 증착되었다. 중착된 박막을 $650\;{\sim}\;800^{\circ}C$에서 30분간 열처리를 실시하고 전기적 특성을 평가한 결과, $1{\times}10^{-2}\;Torr$에서 증착한 박막에서 양호한 P-V (polarization-voltage) 이력곡선을 얻을 수 있었고, 이때의 잔류분극 (2Pr) 값은 약 $6\;{\mu}C/cm^2$ 이었다. 주사전자현미경 (SEM)을 이용하여 BLT 박막 표면의 미세구조도 관찰하였는데, 스핀코팅 법으로 증착한 경우에 관찰되었던 조대화된 입자들은 관찰되지 않았고, 상당히 양호한 입자 크기 균일도를 나타내었다.

This study examined Songgye Na-sik's(松桂懶湜, 1684~1765) literary world based on Priest Songgye's Anthology(松桂大禪師文集). In consideration of the insufficiencies of the only previous study on Songgye's literature, this study was focused on his ideological character and its historicity, the trend of literary exchange in the Buddhist circle, and the literary geographical aspect of his literature. Priest Songgye was the head of the Bonghwa-sa Temple in Andong during the years under the rule of Kings Sukjong and Yeongjo, and learned from Hwanseong Ji-ahn(喚醒志安, 1664~1729) and Nakam Eui-nul(落巖義訥, 1666~1737). The priest did not have many students under him nor leave numerous writings. In the process of the development of the Buddhist doctrines in the late Joseon Dynasty, however, he completed the scripture learning courses faithfully and laid the ground of his philosophy. In addition, the afterword of Hwaeomgyeongchilcheogupumhoipummok (華嚴經七處九會品目跋) shows that he compiled the book under his teacher's instruction. What is more, he is known to have devoted himself to belief in the Pure Land in his late years. Given these backgrounds, the priest's life, writings, and ideological tendencies pursued all of Zen, Hwaeom, and the Pure Land together, and at the same time, reflected the characteristics of Korean Buddhism in the 18th century. The priest steadily cultivated himself in poetry and established his own literary world, and all the outcomes were fully reflected in his anthology. Priest Songgye walked the road of a learner throughout his lifetime but, on the other hand, he established his identity as a literary man in the specific time and space of Andong, Yeongnam in the late Joseon Dynasty.

The purpose of this study was to perform quantitative comparisons of water permeable zones in both the adhesive and the hybrid layer before and after thermo cycling in order to assess the integrity of the bonding interface. Twenty eight flat dentin surfaces were bonded with a light-cured composite resin using one of four commercial adhesives [OptiBond FL (OP), AdheSE (AD), Clearfil SE Bond (CL). and Xeno III (XE)]. These were sectioned into halves and subsequently cut to yield 2-mm thick specimens; one specimen for control and the other subjected to thermocycling for 10,000 cycles. After specimens were immersed in ammoniacal silver nitrate for 24 h and exposed to a photo developing solution for 8 h, the bonded interface was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and wavelength dispersive spectrometry (WDS) at five locations per specimen. Immediately after bonding. the adhesive layer of OP showed the lowest silver uptake, followed by CL, AD. and XE in ascending order (p < 0.0001); the hybrid layer of CL had the lowest silver content among the groups (p = 0.0039). After thermocycling, none of the adhesives manifested a significant increase of silver in either the adhesive or the hybrid layer. SEM demonstrated the characteristic silver penetrated patterns within the interface. It was observed that integrity of bonding was well maintained in OP and CL throughout the thermocycling process. Adhesive-tooth interfaces are vulnerable to hydrolytic degradation and its permeability varies in different adhesive systems, which may be clinically related to the restoration longevity.

From the seafloor of Taean, Chungcheongnamdo Province, a ship of the Joseon Dynasty was discovered for the first time in the history of underwater excavations in Korea in 2014 and was named Mado Shipwreck No. 4. A total of 27 unused whetstones loaded as tribute were discovered on the hull of Mado No. 4, which revealed that Mado Shipwreck No. 4 was a Grain transport ship that sank while carrying tribute from Naju to Hanyang between 1417 and 1425 (King Taejong to King Sejong). All of the 27 whetstones are in the shape of narrow and long sticks. The average values of length, width, thickness, and weight are 161.5 mm, 36.1 mm, 22.7 mm, and 253.2 g, respectively. The result of X-ray diffraction analysis shows that the constituent minerals are quartz, alkali feldspar, and plagioclase, which is similar to that of the high-resolution digital stereomicroscope analysis. The average porosity of Mado-2672 and 2673 is 2.69% and 1.78%, respectively, and the average surface hardness is 807.2HLD and 834.5HLD, respectively. It is interpreted that if the porosity increases beyond a certain level, it affects the decrease in surface hardness. All of these are made of feldspathic sandstones with an average SiO₂ content of 74.51% and were confirmed to be suitable as grindstones. They are all medium whetstones when classified based on the SiO₂ content. These whetstones are small in size and weight and are convenient to carry, so they are presumed to be a type of non-stationary whetstone, and are estimated to have been mainly used in the fields such as weapon polishing and craft production during the Joseon Dynasty.
