Electrical behavior of AlN ceramics sintered with $Y_2O_3$ as a sintering aid has been investigated with respect to additional $TiO_2$ dopant. From the impedance spectroscopy, it was found that the grain and grain boundary conductivities have greatly decreased with addition of $TiO_2$ dopant. The $TiO_2$ dopant also increased the activation energy of the grain conductivity by about 0.37 eV; this increase was attributed to the formation of an associate between Al vacancies and Ti ions at the Al sites. Similarly, the electronic conductivity was reduced by $TiO_2$ addition. However, $TiO_2$ solubility in AlN grains was below the detection limit of typical EDX analysis. Grain boundary was clean, without liquid films, but did show yttrium segregation. The transference number of ions was close to 1, showing that AlN is a predominantly ionic conductor. Based on the observed results, the implications of using AlN applications as insulators have been discussed.

$Si^{4+}-N^{3-}$ was incorporated into $Ce^{3+}-doped$ lutetium aluminum garnet ($Lu_{2.965}Ce_{0.035}Al_5O_{12}$, $LuAG:Ce^{3+}$) lattices, resulting in the formation of $Lu_{2.965}Ce_{0.035}Al_{5-x}Si_xO_{12-x}N_x$ [(Lu,Ce)AG:xSN]. For x = 0-0.25, the synthesized powders consisted of the LuAG single phase, and the lattice constant decreased owing to the smaller $Si^{4+}$ ions. However, for x > 0.25, a small amount of unknown impurity phases was observed, and the lattice constant increased. Under 450 nm excitation, the PL spectrum of $LuAG:Ce^{3+}$ exhibited the green band, peaking at 505 nm. The incorporation of $Si^{4+}-N^{3-}$ into the $Al^{3+}-O^{2-}$ sites of $LuAG:Ce^{3+}$ led to a red-shift of the emission peak wavelength from 505 to 570 nm with increasing x. Corresponding CIE chromaticity coordinates varied from the green to yellow regions. These behaviors were discussed based on the modification of the $5d^1$ split levels and crystal field surroundings of $Ce^{3+}$, which arose from the Ce-(O,N)8 bonds.

To reduce structural weight, light metals, including aluminum and magnesium alloys, have been widely used in various industries such as aircraft, transportation and automobiles. Recently, composite materials such as Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastics (CFRP) and Graphite Epoxy Composite Material (GECM) have also been applied. However, aluminum and its alloys suffer corrosion from various factors, which include aggressive ions, pH, solution temperature and galvanic contact by potential difference. Moreover, carbon fiber in CFRP and GECM is a very efficient cathode, and very noble in the galvanic series. Galvanic contact between carbon fiber composites and metals in electrolytes such as rain or seawater, is highly undesirable. Notwithstanding the potentially dangerous effects of chloride and temperature, there is little research on galvanic corrosion according to chloride concentration and temperature. This work focused on the effects of chloride concentration and solution temperature on AA7075T6. The increased galvanic corrosion between CRFP and AA7075T6 was evaluated by electrochemical experiments, and these effects were elucidated.

In this study we verified if the electro-coagulation process can treat properly the nitrate and fluoride that are not removed well in the conventional small water treatment plants which usually employ chlorination and filtration only. As we gave a change of electrode material and gap-distance between electrodes, removal efficiency of the nitrate and fluoride was determined by electro-coagulation process which were equipped with aluminum and stainless steel (SUS304) electrodes. In addition, electrode durability was investigated by determination of electrodes mass change during the repetitive experiments. Removal efficiency was great when aluminum was used as an anode material. Nitrate removals increased as electric density and number of electrodes increased, but fluoride removal was less sensitive to both parameters than nitrate. After 10 minutes of contact time with the current density from $1{\times}10^{-3}$ to $3{\times}10^{-3}A/cm^{2}$, nitrate and fluoride concentration ranged from 9.2 to 1.2mg/L and from 0.02 to 0.01mg/L, which satisfied the regulation limits. Regardless of the repeating number of experiments, removal efficiency of both ions were almost similar and the change of electrode mass ranged within ${\pm}$0.5%, indicating that the loss of the electrode mass is not so much great under the limited circumstances.

The decreasing effect of wrinkle on the pressure sensitive adhesive hydrogel patches containing ulmi cortex extract and sorbitol as the drug for anti-wrinkle were investigated. In this study, hydrogels were prepared by the crosslinking reaction of acrylic polymers and aluminum ions produced by L(+)-tartaric acid hydrolysis of the dihydroxy aluminum aminoacetates. The inhibition concentration of ulmi cortex extract on the collagenase exhibited at 0.01%. Furthermore, the moisturizing effect of hydrogel patches formulated with sorbitol was higher than that without it. In vivo animal test in hairless mouse showed that the ulmi cortex-loaded hydrogel patches had about 31.2% of anti-wrinkle effect compared to blank (before attaching the patches). Human test showed that only 33% of subjects showed the decreasing of wrinkle during 8 weeks. In conclusion, the model pressure sensitive adhesive hydrogel patches in this study would be pharmaceutically applicable for the wrinkle treatment on the facial skin.

Silicon dioxide (SiO$_2$) layers were fabricated on Si$_3$N$_4$/SiO$_2$/Si layer structures by low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). Potassium and aluminum were then coimplanted by implanting potassium ions with the energy of 100 ［keY］ and dose of 5x10$^{16}$ [cm￣$^2$］ and 1x10$^{17}$ [cm￣$^2$］ into an aluminum buffer layer on the SiO$_2$Si$_3$N4/SiO$_2$/Si structure. The pH, pNa, and pK ion sensitivities of the resulting layers were investigated and compared to those of as-deposited silicon dioxide layer. The pK-sensitivity of the silicon dioxide was enhanced by the K and Al coimplantation. On the contrary, the pH and pNa-sensitivities of the coimplanted silicon dioxides were quite lower than that of the as-deposited silicon dioxide.

In this study, growth and burning behavior of 6061 aluminum alloy was studied under constant anodic voltages at various temperatures and magnetic stirring rates in 20% sulfuric acid solution by analysing I-t curves, measuring thickness and hardness of aluminum anodic oxide (AAO) films, observations of surface and cross-sectional images of AAO films. AAO films were grown continuously at lower voltages than 18.5V but burning occurred when a voltage more than 19V was applied in 20% H₂SO₄ solution at 20±0.5℃ and 200 rpm of magnetic stirring. The burning was always related with an extremely large increase of anodic current density with anodizing time, suggesting that high heat generation during anodizing causes deteriorations of AAO films by chemical reaction with acidic solutions. The burning resulted in decreases of film thickness and hardness, surface color brightened and formation of porous defects in the AAO films. The burning voltage was found to decrease with increasing solution temperature and decreasing magnetic stirring rate. The decreased burning voltages seem to be closely related with increased chemical reactions between AAO films and hydrogen ions.

벤토나이트에 포함된 몬모릴로나이트의 층간에 Al산화물의 기둥(pillar)을 만든 Al-층간가교 점토를 합성하였다. 이 Al-층간가교점토에 대해 XRD, DTA, 화학분석 등을 실시하여 광물학적 특성을 검토하였으며, 그리고 이 가교점토에 대하여 Batch법의 흡착실험을 통하여 인산이온의 흡착성을 검토하였다. X-선 회절분석의 결과, Al-층간가교점토는 상온에서 층간격이 $18.03 \AA$으로 증가되어 나타났고, $550\AA$가열에서도 약 $17\AA$을 나타내어 열적 안정성이 크며, 글리세롤에 의한 층간격의 팽윤은 매우 미약한 것으로 나타났다. 열분석 결과, 이 점토에는 pillar부분에 관련된 물의 탈수에 의한 것으로 보이는 $270^{\circ}C$와 $420^{\circ}C$의 특징적인 흡열반응이 나타났다. Al-층간가교 점토의 인산 이온에 대한 흡착실험의 결과, 몬모릴로나이트는 거의 흡착능력을 보이지 않는데 비하여 월등히 우수한 인산이온($PO_{4}^{3－}$ /)성을 나타냈다. 시료 2 g에 용액 20 mL의 실험에서 300 mg/L 이하의 인산 농도에서는 거의 100%의 흡착효율을 나타냈다. 그리고 인산 이온에 흡착된 시료를 $500^{\circ}C$로 가열한 후 재차 흡착실험을 행한 결과, 역시 매우 높은 흡착효율을 나타냈다. 따라서 Al-층간가교 점토의 인산 이온 흡착에 대한 재활용의 가능성이 큰 것으로 나타났다

친환경 제방 건설 소재로 연구되고 있는 바이오폴리머는 토양의 강도 증진 효과가 알려져 있으나, 아직 식생에 미치는 영향에 대한 연구는 부족하다. 본 연구에서는 토양의 aluminum (Al) 스트레스 조건에서 잔탄검 (xanthan gum) 혼합에 따른 Camelina sativa L. (Camelina)의 뿌리 생장을 분석하였다. Al 스트레스 조건과 더불어 xanthan gum 0.05% 혼합구에서 생육한 Camelina가 비혼합구보다 뿌리 생장이 증가하였다. 같은 조건에서 aluminum activated malate transporter 1 (ALMT1) 유전자 발현이 xanthan gum 혼합구 및 비혼합구에서 모두 유도되었지만, xanthan gum 혼합구가 비혼합구보다 낮은 수준의 발현을 보여주었다. 추가적으로 용액에서 xanthan gum과 Al 이온의 결합을 확인하였으며, morin 염색과 ICP-OES 분석을 통해 Camelina 뿌리의 Al 함량을 측정한 결과 xanthan gum 혼합구에서 비혼합구 보다 뿌리의 Al 함량이 낮았다. 이러한 결과들은 xanthan gum과 Al 결합으로 인해 뿌리의 피해를 감소시키고 궁극적으로 식물의 생존 및 생육에 긍정적 효과를 미치는 것으로 보인다.

본 연구에서는 바나듐광 염배소-수침출 과정을 거쳐 얻어지는 바나듐 함유 수용액으로부터 바나듐을 암모늄메타바나데이트로 침전시켜 회수할 때, 수용액에 존재하는 다른 성분의 이온들이 바나듐 회수에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 바나듐 함유 수용액은 pH가 13 정도인 강알칼리 용액으로서, 암모늄메타바나데이트 침전효율을 높이기 위해서는 수용액 pH를 9 이하로 낮춰야 한다. 그러나 황산으로 수용액 pH를 조절하는 과정에서 알루미늄 이온은 바나듐과 같이 공침되기 때문에 알루미늄 이온을 먼저 제거시켜야 한다. 본 연구에서는 소듐실리케이트를 사용하여 알루미늄-실리케이트 화합물 형태로 침전시킴으로서 알루미늄을 제거하였으며, 이 과정에서 바나듐 손실을 최소화하는 조건에 대하여 알아보았다. 알루미늄 제거 후, 황산을 이용하여 수용액 pH를 9 이하로 조절하는 과정에서 수용액의 실리케이트 성분을 침전시켜 제거하였다. 이 때 황산의 농도와 첨가속도가 바나듐 손실에 큰 영향을 미치며, 가급적 25% 묽은 황산을 사용하여 천천히 첨가함으로서 바나듐 손실을 최소화 하였다. 알루미늄 제거 그리고 수용액 pH 조절 과정을 통하여 얻은 바나듐 수용액에 3 당량의 염화암모늄을 첨가하여 상온에서 침전시킨 결과, 전체적으로 81% 이상의 바나듐을 암모늄메타바나데이트로 회수할 수 있었다. 회수된 암모늄메타바나데이트를 세척한 후 550℃에서 2시간 열처리하여 98.6% 순도의 오산화바나듐을 얻을 수 있었다
