The geometric design of an implant surface may play an important role in affecting early osseointegration. It is well known that the porous surfaced implant had much benefits for the osseointegration and the early stability of implant. However, the porous surfaced implant had weakness from the transgingival contamitants, and it resulted in alveolar bone loss. The other problem identified with porous surface implant is the loss of physical properties resulting from the bead sintering process. In this study, we developed the new bead coating implant to overcome the disadvantages of porous surfaced implant. Ti-6Al-4V beads were supplied from STARMET (USA). The beads were prepared by a plasma rotating electrode process (PREP) and had a nearly spherical shape with a diameter of 75-150 ${\mu}m$. Two types of titanium implants were supplied by KJ Meditech (Korea). One is an external hexa system (External type) and the other is an internal system with threads (Internal type). The implants were pasted with beads using polyvinylalcohol solution as a binder, and then sintered at 1250 $^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours in vacuum of $10^{-5}$ torr. The resulting porous structure was 400-500 ${\mu}m$ thick and consisted of three to four bead layers bonded to each other and the implant. The pore size was in the range of 50-150 ${\mu}m$ and the porosity was 30-40 % in volume. The aim of this study was to evaluate the osseointegration of the newly developed dental implant. The experimental implants (n=16) were inserted in the unilateral femur of 4 mongrel dogs. All animals were killed at 8 weeks after implantation, and samples were harvested for hitological examination. All bead coated porous implants were successfully osseointegrated with peripheral bone. The average bone-implant contact ratios were 84.6 % (External type) and 81.5 % (Internal type). In the modified Goldner's trichrome staining, new generated mature bones were observed at the implant interface at 8 weeks after implantation. Although, further studies are required, we could conclude that the newly developed vacuum sintered Ti-6Al-4V bead coating implant was strong enough to resist the implant insertion force, and it was easily osseointegrated with peripheral bone.

The ferroelectric vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene ($VF_2$-TrFE) and $Al_2O_3$ passivation layer for the Metal/Insulator/Ferroelectric/Semiconductor (MIFS) structure were deposited using spin coating and remote plasma atomic layer deposition (RPALD), respectively. A 2.5 ~ 3 wt % diluted solution of purified vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene ($VF_2$: TrFE=70:30) in a DMF solution were prepared and deposited on silicon wafer at a optimized spin speed. After annealing in a vacuum ambient at 150 ~ $200^{\circ}C$ for 60 min, upper insulator layer were deposited at temperature ranging from 100 ~ $150^{\circ}C$ by RPALD. We described electrical and structural properties of MIFS fabricated by spin coating and RPALD methods.

In this study, a $Li_2ZrO_3$ coated $Li[Ni_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}]O_2$ (NCA) cathode was applied to an all-solid-state cell employing a sulfide-based solid electrolyte. Sulfide-based solid electrolytes are preferable for all-solid-state cells because of their high ionic conductivity and good softness and elasticity. However, sulfides are very reactive with oxide cathodes, and this reduces the stability of the cathode/electrolyte interface of all-solid-state cells. $Li_2ZrO_3$ is expected to be a suitable coating material for the cathode because it can suppress the undesirable reactions at the cathode/sulfide electrolyte interface because of its good stability and high ionic conductivity. Cells employing $Li_2ZrO_3$ coated NCA showed superior capacity to those employing pristine NCA. Analysis by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and electron energy loss spectroscopy confirmed that the $Li_2ZrO_3$ coating layer suppresses the propagation of S and P into the cathode and the reaction between the cathode and the sulfide solid electrolyte. These results show that $Li_2ZrO_3$ coating is promising for reducing undesirable side reactions at the cathode/electrolyte interface of all-solid-state-cells.

Poly (methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) is one of the promising representive of polymer gate dielectric for its high resistivity and sutible dielectric constant. PMMA (Mw=96700) films were prepared on p-Si by spin coating method. PMMA were coated compactively and flatly as observeed by AFM. MIS(Al/PMMA/p-Si) structure was made and capacitance-voltage (C-V) and current-voltage (I-V) measurements were done with PMMA films for different thermal treatment temperature. PMMA films were showed proper dielectric constant and breakdown voltage. Above the glass transition temperature PMMA films degraded. C-V measured at various frequencies, dielectric constant increased a little. The absence of hysteresis in the C-V characteristics, which eliminate the possibility of mobile charges in the PMMA films. The observed thermal stability, smooth surfaces, dielectric constant, I-V behavior implies PMMA formed by spin coating can be used as an efficient gate dielectric layer in OTFTs.

본 연구에서는 PEDOT:PSS와 crystalline-ITO (c-ITO) 박막 계면에서의 화학적 반응을(박리 및 용해 특성)을 관찰하기위해 spin-coating 및 droplet dropping을 통하여 PEDOT:PSS 용액을 코팅하고 이후 화학적 거동에 따른 전기적, 광학적 및 구조적 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 강산성을 띄는 PEDOT:PSS (Al 4083) 박막의 코팅 전, 0.4T sodalime glass 위에 열처리를 통하여 성막된 c-ITO 투명전극을 15분 동안 상압 오존 공정을 통하여 계면처리함으로써 다른 변수의 영향을 배제하였으며, 표면 처리 후 spin-coating 및 droplet dropping method를 통하여 PEDOT:PSS를 코팅하여 c-ITO와 PEDOT:PSS 계면사이의 화학적 반응의 영향을 시간 경과에 따라 분석하였다. PEDOT:PSS 코팅 후 솔밴트 제거를 위해 hot plate를 이용하여 $110^{\circ}C$로 열처리되었다. Spin-coating 방법과는 달리 droplet dropping 방법을 통해 형성된 c-ITO 투명전극/PEDOT:PSS 계면에서는 spin coating에서 적용된 동일한 공정변수적용에도 불구하고 PEDOT:PSS의 산성으로 인한 ITO 투명전극 표면에서의 화학적 조성변화가(In, Sn, O의 조성의 변화) 발생됨을 x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy 결과를 통해 확인하였다. 뿐만 아니라 계면 조성반응 변화에 따른 전기적 특성 및 광학적 투과율의 열화가 발생됨을 Hall measurement 측정과 UV/Vis spectrometer 결과를 통하여 도출하였다. 본 결과를 통해 c-ITO/PEDOT:PSS 사이에서 발생되는 내산특성/계면 화학변화가 유기태양전지에서의 산화물 투명전극과 유기물 계면 열화현상에 영향을 받을 수 있음을 나타낸다.

This study is analyzed the effects of the number of use of aluminum form surface coating material on surface quality of concrete. The results can be summarized as follows. Surface roughness showed larger values with increase in the number of use. Values were larger in UP and AL compared to PE. While found to have bad influence on concrete surface quality, PA and W showed most excellent values for roughness. The number of surface pores increased with increasing number of use, and the number of pores on concrete surface was reduced by applying a remover. In terms of type of surface coating material, PA and W showed smallest number of pores in comparison to PE. In order to comprehensively improve surface quality of concrete, parallel use of PA coating material and remover is deemed most appropriate.

Crystal structure and chemical compositions of Plasma electrolytic oxidized layer of A-1100, A-2024, A-5052, A-6061, A-6063, A-7075, ACD-7B and ACD-12 were investigated. The electrolyte for plasma electrolytic oxidation was mixture of distilled water, $Na_2P_2O_7$, Cu, Cr metal salts and KOH. ${\eta}$-Alumina, as well as ${\alpha}$-alumina, was main crystal phase. Another crystals such as $(Al_{0.948}Cr_{0.052})_2O_3$ and $(Al_{0.9}Cr_{0.1})_2O_3$ were also formed in the oxide layer. It was thought that the effect of electrolyte compositions on the physical properties and crystal system of PEO layers was greater than the effect of Al alloy composition variation.

A stacked high-voltage (900 V) Al electrolytic capacitor made with ZrO₂ coated anode foils, which has not been studied so far, is realized and the effects of Zr-Al-O composite layer on the electric properties are discussed. Etched Al foils coated with ZrO₂ sol are anodized in 2-methyl-1,3-propanediol (MPD)-boric acid electrolyte. The anodized Al foils are assembled with stacked structure to prepare the capacitor. The capacitance and dissipation factor of the capacitor with ZrO₂ coated anode foils increase by 41 % and decrease by 50 %, respectively, in comparison with those of Al anode foils. Zr-Al-O composite dielectric layer is formed between separate crystalline ZrO₂ with high dielectric constant and amorphous Al₂O₃ with high ionic resistivity. This work suggests that the formation of a composite layer by coating valve metal oxide on etched Al foil surface and anodizing it in MPD-boric acid electrolyte is a promising approach for high voltage and volume efficiency of capacitors.

Al2O3/SiC hybrid-composite has been fabricated by the conventional powder process. The addition of $\alpha$-Al2O3 as seed particles in the transformation of ${\gamma}$-Al2O3 to $\alpha$-Al2O3 provided a homogeneity of the microstructure. The grain growth of Al2O3 are significantly surpressed by the addition of nano-size SiC particles. Dislocation were produced due to the difference of thermal expansion coefficient between Al2O3 and SiC and piled up on SiC particles in Al2O3 matrix, resulting in transgranular fracture. The high fracture strength of the composite was contributed to the grain refinement and the transgranular fracture mode. The addition of SiC platelets to Al2O3/SiC nano-composite decreased the fracture strength, but increased the fracture toughness. Coated SiC platelets with nitrides such as BN and Si3N4 enhanced fracture toughness much more than non-coated SiC platelets by enhancing crack deflection.

Graphite crucibles are used for melting uranium and its alloys in VIM furnace. Various coating materials namely Al₂O₃, ZrO₂, MgO etc. are applied on the inner surface of the crucibles using paint brush or thermal spray technique to mitigate U-C interaction. These leads to significant amount of carbon pick-up in uranium. In this study, the attempts are made to develop multilayer coatings comprising of SiC/Y₂O₃ and Mo/Y₂O₃ on graphite to study the feasibility of minimizing U-C interaction. The parameters are optimized to prepare SiC coating of about 70㎛ thickness using CVD technique on graphite coupons and subsequently Y₂O₃ coating of about 250㎛ thickness using plasma spray technique. Molybdenum and Y₂O₃ layers were deposited using plasma spray technique with 70㎛ and 250㎛ thickness, respectively. Interaction studies of the coated graphite with molten uranium at 1450℃ for 20 min revealed that Y₂O₃ coating with SiC interlayer provides physical barrier for uranium-graphite interaction, however, this led to the physical separation of coating layer. Y₂O₃ coating with Mo interlayer provided superior barrier effect showing no degradation and the coatings remained intact after interaction tests. Therefore, the Mo/Y₂O₃ coating was found to be a promising solution for minimizing carbon pick-up during uranium/uranium alloy melting.
