적층 액츄에이터는 우수한 압전특성 및 그 재료가 가진 고유한 특성 때문에 최근 이동통신 단말기용 햅틱 소자 및 PC 와 그 주변기기로 수요가 폭발적으로 증대되고 있으며, 향후에도 CATV 네트워크와 무선통신기기를 비롯한 디지털 통신분야로 응용분야가 확대되리라 예상된다. 적층 액츄에이터에서 발생되는 에너지는 세라믹 그린시트 두께와 전극 면적에 비례하여 변위 및 응력이 증가하게 되므로 고적층형에 대한 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 이러한 고적층 액츄에이터의 경우 소성과정에 서 warpage 및 de-lamination 같은 결함이 발생하기 쉬우므로 그린시트의 균일성 및 전극과의 matching성 확보가 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 슬러리의 분산성과 시트 내 유기물 함량 최적화 실험을 진행하여 적층 액츄에이터용 그린시트를 최적화 한 후 공정 적용성 및 저온소성 전극인 Ag-Pd 전극과의 매칭성을 확보하고자 하였다. 이러한 후막공정 기술 개선을 통해 적층 액츄에이터를 제조하여 압전 특성을 측정하였다.

The most ideal method to measure the water-soluble $Cl^-$ ion eluted from iron artifacts is conducting the analysis on desalting solution by Ion Chromatography. But most institutes related to cultural heritages use Cl meter by reason of lack of budget and experts. This study evaluated reliability and stability between Cl meter and Ion Chromatography by doing cross-validation with results from two methods to detect $Cl^-$ ion of desalting solution. From D.I water, extremely small quantities of $Cl^-$ ion was detected by the influence of remaining water-soluble $Cl^-$ ion at the electrode of Cl meter and water-soluble $Cl^-$ which remains in Sodium sesquicarbonate, components of reagent was detected as well. The first desalting solution had the most $Cl^-$ ions, $Cl^-$ ion slightly decreased from the second to the fourth desalting solution and tend to decrease again at the stage of dealkalified in D.I water. Each Cl meter has the standard deviation according to the measured numbers and the higher concentration of $Cl^-$ ion the desalting solution has, the wider the deviation is. But when the concentration of $Cl^-$ ion is low, it was stable to use Cl meter to detect the concentration of $Cl^-$ ion from iron artifacts because there is the small deviation, It is thought that conductivity meter method is not suitable for measuring $Cl^-$ ion, because the electrical conductivity of alkaline solution is too high to measure $Cl^-$ ion.

In this study, to improve the thermal stabilities of the epoxy composite specimens in addition to the enhanced mechanical properties, those were reinforced with carbon nanotubes and micrometer-sized silica particles. To disperse the filler in matrix relatively simple physical process, specimens were fabricated using shear mixing and sonication. Tensile strength, coefficients of thermal expansion and thermal conductivity of the specimens were measured with varied contents of the two fillers. The mechanical and thermal properties were also discussed, and the experimental results of thermal expansion related to the thermal stability of the specimens were compared with those from several micromechanics models. The hybrid composites specimens incorporating 0.6 wt％ of carbon nanotubes and 50 wt％ of silica particles showed better mechanical properties than the others with increase in tensile strength up to 11％, with respect to those of the baseline specimens. As the silica contents were increased the thermal expansion was reduced down to 36%, and the thermal stability was improved with the decreased thermal deformation. Thermal conductivity of the epoxy composite specimens incorporating 50 wt％ of silica particles was enhanced, which demonstrate improvement of 72%. The mechanical and thermal properties of the hybrid composites specimens incorporating the two fillers were improved simultaneously.

Surface plasmon resonance (SPR) which is utilized in thin film refractometry-based sensors has been concerned on measurement of physical, chemical and biological quantities because of its high sensitivity and label-free feature. In this paper, an application of SPR to detection of alcohol content in wine and liquor was investigated. The result showed that SPR sensor had high potential to evaluate alcohol content. Nevertheless, food industry may need SPR sensor with higher sensitivity. Herein, we introduced a nano-technique into fabrication of SPR chip to enhance SPR sensitivity. Using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) method, gold film with nano-structured surface was devised. In order to make a new SPR chip, firstly, a single layer of nano-scaled silica particles adhered to plain surface of gold film. Thereafter, gold was deposited on the template by an e-beam evaporator. Finally, the nano-structured surface with basin-like shape was obtained after removing the silica particles by sonication. In this study, two types of silica particles, or 130 nm and 300 nm, were used as template beads and sensitivity of the new SPR chip was tested with ethanol solution, respectively. Applying the new developed SPR sensor to a model food of alcoholic beverage, the sensitivity showed improvement of 95% over the conventional one.

Nowadays there are many sun protection cosmetics including organic or inorganic UV filter as an active ingredient. Chemically stable inorganic sunsEreen agents, usually metal oxides, we widely employed in high SPF products. Titanium dioxide is one of the most frequently used inorganic UV filters. It has been used as pigments for a long period of cosmetic history. With the development of micronization techniques, it becomes possible to incorporate titanium dioxide in sunscreen formulations without whitening effect and it becomes an important research topic. However, there are very few works related to quantitations of titanium dioxide in sunscreen products. In this research, we analyzed amounts of titanium dioxide in sunscreen cosmetics by adapting redof titration, reduction of Ti(IV) to Ti(III) and reoxidation to Ti(IV). After calcification of other organic ingredients of cosmetics, titanium dioxide is dissolved by hot sulfuric acid. The dissolved Ti(IV) is reduced to the Ti(III) by adding aluminum metals. The reduced Ti(III) is titrated against a standard oxidizing agent, Fe(III) (ammonium iron(III) sulfate), with potassium thiocyanate as an indicator In order to test accuracy and applicability of the proposed method, we analyzed the amounts of titanium dioxide in four types of sunscreen cosmetics, such as cream, make-up base, foundation and powder, after adding known amounts of titanium dioxide $(1{\sim}25w/w%)$. The percent recoveries of the titanium dioxide in four types of formulations were in the range between 96 and 105%. We also analyzed 7 commercial cosmetic products labeled titanium dioxide as an ingredient and compared the results with those of obtained from ICP-AES (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Atomic Emission Spectrometry), one of the most powerful atomic analysis techniques. The results showed that the titrated amounts were well coincided with the analyzed amounts of titanium dioxide by ICP-AES. Although instrumental analytical methods, ICP-MS (Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometry) and ICP-AES, are the best for the analysis of titanium, it is hard to adopt because of their high prices for small cosmetic companies. It was found that the volumetric method presented here gat e quantitative and reliable results with routine lab-wares and chemicals.

Water In this study, CR/silica nanocomposites were produced by dispersing nanosilica on chloroprene rubber (CR) to apply toluene-free primers for mobile devices. The properties of the modified chloroprene rubber using nanosilica was evaluated through FT-IR, SEM, EDS, Contact angle. The SEM images indicated that P-4 (4 phr) was the most homogenously dispersed. Pencil hardness measurements and Contact angle indicated that the hardness of the CR/silica nanocomposite and the hydrophobicity increased with increase in the silica content. The peel strength of P-4 (4phr) was the highest and the initial peel strength of P-4 sample (2.9 kgf/inch) was 50% higher than that of the P-0 sample.

To develop a high performance SCR catalyst which has better specific surface area, lightness of weight and fast temperature response than those of existing commercial SCR catalyst, metal foam type SCR catalysts were prepared by washcoating with vanadium, tungsten and binder. The de-NOx performance test of the prepared catalysts was carried out on atmospheric micro-test unit at lab. scale according to space velocity variation and temperature change, and the characteristics of them were analyzed by Porosimeter, SEM(scanning electron microscope), EDX(energy dispersive x-ray spectrometer), ICP(inductively coupled plasma) and Stereomicroscope. The NOx reduction performance decreased as the space velocity increased and was found to be the best at 3.5 wt.% contents of the vanadium and tungsten. It was found that the larger amount of binder was added, the worse the NOx reduction performance was, which was considered to be that the number of active sites of the prepared catalyst surface was occupied by the binder. We found that the amount of binder to be added to prepare the catalyst should be properly controlled by the condition of coated catalyt surface.

Effects of moisture content on the gelatinization and recrystallization of non-waxy and waxy rice starch gels were investigated by differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The recrystallization rates of the starch gels containing various moisture contents $(40{\sim}70%)$ were analyzed by Avrami equation. The waxy rice starch had higher gelatinization temperature and enthalpy than non-waxy one. The highest degrees of recrystallization in both rice starch gels stored at $4^{\circ}C$ were shown at 40%, and recrystallizations above 80% moisture content were not found. The degree of recrystallization of waxy one was higher than that of non-waxy one in the range of 40 to 60% moisture content. The Avrami exponents (n) of both rice starch gels were near to 1.0 and the time constant (1/k) was increased with increasing moisture content in the range of 40 to 70% moisture content. The recrystallization rate of waxy rice starch gel was slower than that of non-waxy one. The recrystallization of rice starch gels could be explained by the change of ice melting enthalpy during storage. The Wg's, represented the maximum practical amount of plasticizing water, were about 29.9% and 28.2% for non-waxy and waxy rice starch gels, respectively.
