Purpose. The aim of this study was to evaluate biaxial flexural strength and hardness of colored monolithic zirconia after dipping in different time intervals of coloring solution. Materials and Methods. Disk shaped specimens were prepared from monolithic zirconia (Eclipse V2.0, AMS, Gimpo, Korea). Four experimental groups were categorized (n = 12) due to coloring time (PU (0s); ST (8s); OV (1 min); PS (preshade)), to evaluate biaxial flexural strength and Vickers hardness. After fracture, X-ray diffraction analysis was performed using fractured specimens. Results were analyzed with one-way ANOVA test. Results. There was no significant difference between groups in the biaxial flexural strength test. However, in the Vickers hardness test, the group with standard dipping time (ST) showed significantly higher value than the group without dipping in coloring liquid (PU)(P=.038). Also, there was no significant difference in the rest of the groups (P>.05). As a result of X-ray diffraction analysis, specific peaks of tetragonal phase were shown and the volume of monoclinic phase fraction was lower than 25%. Conclusion. Although this study has several limitations, coloring liquids had no significant effect on biaxial flexural strength. Vickers hardness was significantly different between the group to which the coloring liquid was applied and the group to which the coloring solution was not applied, but there was no significant difference between the other groups. Also, the flexural strength of monolithic zirconia corresponds to Class 5 of the minimal flexural strength standard according to the use of dental ceramics.

알루미늄은 내식성, 내마모성과 같은 물리적, 화학적 성질이 우수하지 못하여 이를 향상시키기 위해서 양극산화법이 산업적으로 널리 사용되고 있다. 알루미늄 양극산화법을 적용하면 강도, 내마모성 및 내식성이 향상될 뿐만 아니라 알루미늄 표면에 규칙적으로 배열된 30nm~100nm 크기의 pore에 염료를 흡착시켜 다양한 색상의 외관을 가지는 양극산화피막을 형성시킬 수 있다. Pore간의 간격은 수십nm~수백nm 정도이며, pore의 크기와 간격 및 깊이는 양극산화조건(양극산화 전압, 전해액의 종류와 농도 및 온도)에 의해 크게 변화된다. 또한 염료의 농도와 착색 시간에 따라서 양극산화 피막의 색조가 변화되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 양극산화피막의 색조에 미치는 전해조건의 영향을 조사하고, 분광측색계를 사용하여 산화피막의 색조를 정량적으로 분석하고 또한 산화피막의 pore에 흡착된 염료를 정량분석하기 위해서 UV-visible을 사용하여 분석하였다. Al5052 합금을 이용하여 에칭, 양극산화, 착색처리, 봉공(sealing)처리를 실시하였다. $55^{\circ}C$ 100g/L NaOH 용액에서 에칭을, $25^{\circ}C$ 10 vol.% $HNO_3$ 용액에서 디스머트를 실시한 다음, $25^{\circ}C$ 10 vol.% $H_2(SO_4)$ 용액에서 15V의 정전압으로 양극산화를 실시하였다. 이후, $55^{\circ}C$ 5~8g/L의 오렌지, 블랙 착색염료(일본 OKUNO 사(社)의 TAC-LH(301), TAC-BLH(411))를 사용하여 착색처리를, $85^{\circ}C$ 초산니켈 수용액에서 봉공처리를 실시하였다. 착색조건으로는 양극산화 시간(5분, 10분, 15분, 20분), 착색 시간(15초, 1분, 2분, 5분) 및 착색 농도(오렌지 -2.5g/L, 5g/L, 7.5g/L, 블랙 - 4g/L, 8g/L, 12g/L)를 변화시켰으며, 산화피막의 색조를 정량 분석하기 위해 분광측색계를 사용하였고 흡착된 염료의 농도를 정량 분석하기 위해서 $55^{\circ}C$, 1M NaOH에 재용해하여 UV-visible로 흡광도를 측정하였다. 양극산화피막의 색조는 양극산화 시간이 길어질수록, 착색시간이 길어질수록, 착색농도가 진할수록 산화피막에 흡착되는 염료의 양이 증가하며 색조가 더 선명해지고 진해지는 것을 확인하였다. 이를 분광측색계로 분석하였을 때 각 전해조건하에서 경향성을 나타내었다. 또한 흡광도 측정을 통해 계산한 염료의 양과 전해조건의 상관관계를 조사하였다. 양극산화 시간이 길어지면 산화피막의 두께가 증가하여 염료가 흡착될 수 있는 표면적이 넓어지고, 착색 시간이 길어지면 동일한 산화피막에 더 많은 염료가 흡착이 된다. 그리고 착색 농도가 진할수록 동일면적, 동일시간 하에서 더 많은 염료가 흡착되어 결과적으로 전해조건이 강해질수록 산화피막의 색조가 진해지는 것으로 판단된다.

Various materials and restorative options have been introduced recently with growing interest in esthetic dental treatment in modern society. Zirconia is especially known for its biocompatibility as well as remarkable toughness and resistance to wear, but it is limited in its use for esthetically focused treatment in anterior region for its white opacity. Lately the development of different kinds of zirconium blocks, such as colored block, clear block, and multi-layered block, allowed more extensive use of zirconia as a treatment option. This report describes a case, in which a prosthetic crown maxillary anterior region was stained with a combination of various coloring liquids before sintering to reproduce natural-looking color scheme in final restoration. The case was reported as the utilization of coloring liquid on monolithic zirconia crown could achieve esthetically satisfying prosthesis for both dentist and patient.

$WO_3$ films were multicoated on the microscope slide glass and ITO-coated glass using a tungsten alkoxide type solution by the sol-gel deposition process. The effect of dipping and processing parameters on the structure, optical and electrochemical properties of the film were also investigated. Coating using alkoxide solution was very uniformed for low dipping speed of 0.005 m/s, but thickness variations across the sample became apparent for dipping speeds greater than 0.007 m/s. Electrochemical coloration experiments showed that films fired at lower temperatures color more easily than film fired to > $200^{\circ}C$. Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy studies revealed that $K^+$ ions were uniformly distributed throughout the $WO_3$layer in the colored sample.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the surface change after 15% carbamide peroxide home bleaching to various restorative materials (composite resin [CR], resin modified glass ionomer [RMGI] and glass ionomer [GI]) and to observe the effect of surface condition of the materials on re-staining. Three esthetic restorative materials (Filtek Z250, 3M, USA; Fuji II LC, GC, Japan; Fuji II, GC, Japan) were used in this study. Twenty specimens per material group were made and divided into two groups (bleached and control). The specimens were immersed in coffee after applying bleaching agent. The color change and surface roughness were measured before and after bleaching and after immersion in coffee. The data were analyzed with SPSS 18.0. The results were as follows: 1. The color of all experiment groups was significantly changed after bleaching (p<0.05). RMGI was the greatest value of ${\Delta}E^*$ and ${\Delta}L^*$. GI and CR groups were in ordering (p<0.05). The ${\Delta}a^*$ value was decreased GI, RMGI and CR. RMGI was only significantly decreased in ${\Delta}b^*$ value (p<0.05). 2. The surface roughness before and after bleaching was significantly different on CR, RMGI and GI (p<0.05). 3. After staining with coffee, the value of ${\Delta}E^*$ was increased in GI, RMGI and CR, furthermore GI and RMGI showed significant difference in the bleaching groups (p<0.05). The ${\Delta}L^*$ value of GI and RMGI was significantly decreased. 4. The change of surface roughness after staining was not significantly different in all groups (p>0.05). The maintenance of color stability in esthetic restorations is one of the most important properties. Tooth whitening is for the aesthetic. Therefore, dental professionals should notice to patients about re-staining after tooth whitening. They should give an instruction that how to prevent and which kinds of agents could be stained.

Even though concrete is the most important material for building structures, its intrinsic gray color degrades urban esthetics. In order to improve this problem, coloring methods of mixing pigment in concrete batch and painting the surface of concrete surface have been tried. However, applications of the coloring methods in construction field are difficult due to high cost and low durability. Recently, acid stain agent is emerging as a new coloring method for concrete. It is able to apply a remarkably thin colored layer on a concrete surface from chemical reaction between acid and alkaline solutions. This study has examined the changes and variations of the surface layer of mortar specimen from chemical reaction of acid stained agents. The colors were changed into natural irregular stains according to aging. After the staining, no shape change was found from visible inspections. Microstructure of the colored surface applied with acid stained agent was much rougher than that of original mortar. When the colored layer was compared to original surface, crystals of hydrate such as $Ca(OH)_2$ and C-S-H gel were observed. Surface hardness was same or slightly higher in the colored layer. The value of pH was reduced by approximately 10%, weight contents of elements such as Ca, Si, and Al were low. In the chemical composition of the colored layer, the non-cement based elements of Mn, Cr, and Cu increased. Also, Fe and alkali elements of K and Na increased.

Electrochromic $WO_3$ films were prepared by using an electron-beam deposition method. The dependence of the chemical stability of film on the substrate temperature was studied. From the experimental results, The optical property and chemical stability of as-deposited films strongly depended on the substrate temperature. The $WO_3$ film prepared at a substrate temperature of $80^{\circ}C$ was found to be the most stable when subjected to repeated coloring and bleaching cycles in an organic 0.6M $LiClO_4$ solution.
