Since microzirconia has excellent thermal and mechanical properties with high chemical and electrical resistance, it can be used in various fields. When the surface of zirconia becomes hydrophilic, its dispersibility in water will be improved as well as the resistance to most hydrophobic contaminants will be increased. In this study, we investigated the introduction of a hydrophilic groups on the microzircornia surface through hydrolysis and condensation reactions with two different silanes containing hydrophilic functional groups, such as ${\gamma}$-aminopropyltrimethoxysilane (APS) and ${\gamma}$-ureidopropyltrimethoxysilane (UPS) at different pH and concentration conditions. A covalent bond formation between the surface hydroxyl groups of zirconia and that of hydrolyzed silanes was confirmed by ninhydrin test and FT-IR spectroscopy. However, the presence of Si on the surfaces of both silane modified microzirconias was unable to detect by SEM/EDS technique. In addition, particle size analysis results provide that the size of microzirconia was changed to smaller or bigger than that of original zirconia due to crushing and aggregation during the modification process. The water dispersibility was improved for only APS modifed zirconia (AS-2 and AS-3) under neutral pH condition, but the water dispersibility and stability for all cases of 0.5~2% UPS modifed zirconia (US series) were much improved.

The objective of this research is to develop the coating technique by a porous self-fluxing alloy for improving the mechanical properties of run-out table roller surface with the hot rolling. To enhance the durability of run-out table roller with the hot rolling, the high hardness of roller surface should be maintained at high temperatures, and the improvement of wear resistance, corrosion resistance, heat resistance, burn resistance and adhesion resistance should be maintained. In order to be able to transport reliably a hot rolled steel sheet, also, the appropriate friction coefficient on the roller surface should be maintained and the slip between roller and steel should not occur. In this study, the wear resistance of roller increases after the self-fluxing alloy is changed to a cermet by adding the tungsten carbide(WC), and the coefficient of friction increases and the ability of grip is improved because the porosities are made by coating with fine iron powder on the roller surface. As a result, it is found that the ability of grip between the steel and the roller coated by a porous self-fluxing alloy contained to 5 ~ 10 wt% of Fe in the coating layer is improved compared to the roller coated by Ni-Cr. This is because the porosities are made after Fe contained in the roller is partially alloyed by heating with a furnace in the fusing process and the rest is eliminated by oxidation and dissolution.

Characteristics of electroplated Ni films and $Ni-Al_2O_3$ composite films, such as yield strength, fracture elongation, and $Al_2O_3$ content, were evaluated as a function of electroplating current density. $Al_2O_3$ content was $11.48\~11.64\;vol\%$ for $Ni-Al_2O_3$ composite films electroplated at $5\~20\;mA/cm^2$, and decreased to $8.41\;vol\%$ at $30\;mA/cm^2$ $Ni-Al_2O_3$ possessed yield strengths higher than those of Ni films. Especially, $Ni-Al_2O_3$ fabricated at $5\;mA/cm^2$ exhibited $50\%$ improved yield strength. Fracture elongations of Ni and $Ni-Al_2O_3$ decreased with increasing the electroplating current density. $Ni-Al_2O_3$ electroplated at $5\;mA/cm^2$ exhibited more uniform dispersion of $Al_2O_3$ and higher yield strength and larger fracture elongation than the composite films processed at other current densities.

As the problems related to the environmental pollution such as carbon dioxide emission are emerging, the need for the renewable energy and environmentally friendly energy is getting intense. Fuel cells are eco-friendly energy generation devices that generate electrical energy and produce water as a sole by-product. Compared to the traditional proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC), anion exchange membrane alkaline fuel cell (AEMAFC) has a main advantage of possibility to use low cost metal catalysts due to its faster kinetics. The AEM, which conducts $OH^-$ ions, should possess high ion conductivity as well as high chemical stability at high pH conditions. We hereby introduce a crosslinked poly(2,6-dimethyl-1,4-phenylene oxide) having a spacer-type conducting group as novel AEM, and report a high ion conductivity ($67.9mScm^{-1}$ at $80^{\circ}C$) and mechanical properties (Young's modulus : 0.53 GPa) as well as chemical stability (6.8% IEC loss at $80^{\circ}C$ for 1,000 h,) for the developed membrane.

It is impossible to measure the fraction of the precipitates which are neither plenty nor distiguishable on micrographs, using point counting method or image analyzer. In this study, phase fraction of sigma, carbide and boride which are important to mechanical properties of Ni base superalloy Udimet 720 has been measured using a quantitative X-ray diffraction technique combined with electrochemical extraction. The alloys had been exposed at $800^{\circ}C$ for various times up to 3000 hours to have a variation of the amount of the minor precipitates. The amount of sigma had increased exponentially with increasing exposure time up to 3000 hours before saturation. It can be argued that the finishing point of precipitation is around 5000 hours and maximum amount of sigma to be produced is about 5% in weight. The amounts of $M_{23}C_6$ and $M_3B_2$ were maintained constant at the level of 0.1~0.5% in weight, regardless of exposure time.

Effects of external pH and potassium concentrations on the electrical and mechanical properties were investigated on rabbit papillary muscle. Papillary muscles were perfused in horizontal chamber with Tris Tyrode solutions and action potential along with isometric tension was recorded simultaneously. Potassium concentrations were varied between 1 and 12 mM at low(6.9), normal(7.4) and high (7.9) external pH. The following results were obtained: 1) On rasing the potassium concentration from 1 to 12 mM resting membrane potentials decreased from $-88.8{\pm}2.8$ to $-66.4{\pm}1.2\;mV$ at normal pH and the amplitude of action potential decreased from $115.1{\pm}0.7$ to $97.5{\pm}2.8\;mV$. On lowering the potassium concentration, membrane hyperpolarized and at 1 mM potassium concentration resting potentials were $-107{\pm}2.2\;mV$. Duration of action potential especially $APD_{60}{\sim}APD_{90}$ increased($APD_{90}$: $214{\pm}15.8\;ms$ at 1 mM $K^+$ to $287{\pm}18.1\;ms$ at 12 mM $K^+$). 2) During acidosis membranes hyperpolarized by more than 20 mV within 1 min. and then slow recovery was observed during the following 10 min. During alkalosis membranes depolarized about 10 mV, which were maintained until washing with normal Tyrode solutions. 3) On lowering the external pH(7.9-6.5), duration of action potential increased progressively and it was most prominent at pH 6.5 and $K^+$ 1mM. 4) Magnitude of developed tension was $0.6{\pm}0.14\;g/mm^2$ at normal pH and potassium concentration (stimulus frequency : 60/min). Relative isometric tension to normal value increased along the increment of stimulus frequency($44.2{\pm}4.2%$ at 6/min to $271{\pm}86.7%$ at 180/min). Force-frequency relations were altered quantitatively during the perfusion with different external pH solutions. 5) Developed tension did not show marked variation within the range of $2{\sim}8\;mM$ potassium concentrations. Positive inotropism was observed at less than 2 mM $K^+$ and negative inotropism beyond 12 mM $K^+$ concentrations. From the above results we concluded that the effects of potassium ion concentration on electrical and mechanical properties of rabbit papillary muscle are related to the changes in surface negative charge due to acid base disturbances.

1. 서론 : 팔라듐이나 이의 합금막들은 높은 선택적 투과특성으로 인해 수소 정제나 분리막 반응기와 같은 산업응용 분야에서 매우 높은 관심을 갖고 있다. 상업적으로 이용되고 있는 이러한 막들은 통상적인 metallugical process에 의해 제조괸 self-supported type으로 수소 투과 속도가 낮을 뿐만 아니라 팔라듐 등은 고가의 귀금속이므로 비경제적이다. 따라서 현재 대부분의 연구자들은 기계적 강도를 유지하기 의한 다공성 지지체 위에 얇은 금속 박막을 코팅함으로서 투과성을 높이는 동시에 경제적인 복합막 형태의 막을 만드는데 연구의 촛점을 맞추고 있다. 이러한 형태의 막을 제조하기 위한 금속 박막 제조법은 무전해 도금법(electroless deposition), 화학증착법(CVD), 스퍼터링(sputtering), 전해도금법(electrodeposition) 등이 시도되었다. 그러나 수소에 대한 우수한 선택적 투과 특성을 갖기 의해서는 대부분 5$\mu$m 이상의 두꺼운 막을 제조하였으며 이보다 얇은 막의 제조에 한계가 있기 때문에 이들 막에 대한 기체 투과 특성에 대한 연구결과는 많지 않다. 본 연구에서는 기존의 전기도금법을 응용한 소위 'vacuum electrodeposition' 이란 새로운 기술을 도입함으로써 우수한 선택적 투과성을 갖는 2$\mu$m 이하의 팔라듐 합금 박막 제조를 가능하게 하였다. 지지체 표면의 거칠음 정도, 평균 기공 크기 등의 지지체 성질의 조절에 의한 금속 박막의 핀홀을 최소화함으로써 질소와 같은 inert gas의 투과도는 거의 없게 유지하는 동시에 금속 박막 두께, 결정 구조(e.g. grain size), 합금 조성 등을 조절함으로써 수소의 투과도를 높이고자 하였다. 있다. 후자의 경우, 미량의 과산화수소수 (1~10,000 ppm)를 이용해 처리 해주는 방법의 경우 경제적으로 큰 장점이 있고, 처리가 단순하다는 장점이 있으나 과산화수소수 자체에 포함하고 있는 높은 impurit level, 그리고 처리후 장시간의 flushing time을 가져야 한다는 단점등이 존재 하고 있다.요구된다. 몰입이 가능하여 임계치가 저하된 것으로 여겨진다. 또한 광학적 이득의 존재는 이 구조에 의한 극단파장 반도체 레이저다이오드의 실현 가능성을 나타내는 것이다.548 mL에 비해 통계학적으로 의의 있게 적었다(p<0.05). 결론: 관상동맥우회로 조성수술에서 전방온혈심정지액을 사용할 때 희석되지 많은 고농도 포타슘은 fliud overload와 수혈을 피하고 delivery kit를 사용하지 않음으로써 효과적이고 만족할 만한 심근보호 효과를 보였다.를 보였다.4주까지에서는 비교적 폐포는 정상적 구조를 유지하면서 부분적으로 소폐동맥 중막의 비후와 간질에 호산구 침윤의 소견이 특징적으로 관찰되었다. 결론: 분리 폐 관류는 정맥주입 방법에 비해 고농도의 cisplatin 투여로 인한 다른 장기에서의 농도 증가 없이 폐 조직에 약 50배 정도의 고농도 cisplatin을 투여할 수 있었으며, 또한 분리 폐 관류 시 cisplatin에 의한 직접적 폐 독성은 발견되지 않았다이 낮았으나 통계학적 의의는 없었다[10.0%(4/40) : 8.2%(20/244), p>0.05]. 결론: 비디오흉강경술에서 재발을 낮추기 위해 수술시 폐야 전체를 관찰하여 존재하는 폐기포를 놓치지 않는 것이 중요하며, 폐기포를 확인하지 못한 경우와 이차성 자연기흉에 대해서는 흉막유착술에 더 세심한 주의가 필요하다는 것을 확인하였다. 비디오흉강경수술
