다공성 세라믹 큐브를 이용한 RT-PCR 진단법은 별도의 핵산 추출 과정이나 용액 처리 없이, 식물체에 접촉시켜 큐브의 공극에 바이러스 입자나 핵산 등의 분자가 신속하게 흡수되면 이를 바로 RT-PCR 반응에 넣어 유전자를 증폭시키는 방법으로, 식물체로부터 빠르고 정확하게 바이러스를 진단하는 방법이다. 본 연구에서는 다공성 세라믹 큐브를 이용하여 벼에 발생하는 주요 바이러스인 벼줄무늬잎마름바이러스(RSV)를 진단하는 RT-PCR 진단법을 확립하였다. 벼의 잎, 잎집, 또는 줄기를 대상으로 큐브 1개 또는 3개를 사용하여 즙액을 흡수시킨 후, 이를 RT-PCR 주형으로 사용하였고, 그 결과 변성처리에 큰 차이 없이 증폭 효율이 나타났다. 또한 즙액을 흡수한 큐브는 9주차까지 상온에서 보관한 후 RT-PCR을 실시하여도 안정적으로 증폭 효율을 나타내었다.

$MnO_2$ was added to the $0.95(Na_{0.5}K_{0.5})NbO_3-0.05CaTiO_3$ (NKN-CT) ceramics in order to promote the densification and improve the poling efficiency by increasing the resistance of the specimens. Densification and abnormal grain growth occurred in the $MnO_2$-added NKN-CT ceramics sintered at $1020^{\circ}C$, indicating that $MnO_2$ assisted the liquid-phase sintering of these materials. $Mn^{3+}$ ions were considered to enter the A-site of the matrix, thereby producing the free electrons, which interacted with the holes resulting from the evaporation of alkali ions. This interaction results in an increase in the resistance of the specimens. The increased resistance improved the poling efficiency and, hence, the dielectric and piezoelectric properties of the NKN-CT ceramics. A few of the $Mn^{3+}$ ions that entered the B-site of the NKN-CT matrix led to a slight increase in the mechanical quality factor.

캄보디아는 동남아 지역에서 매우 유명한 관광국가임과 동시에 심각한 물 문제를 가지고 있는 대표적 국가로 인식되고 있다. 공공위생의 관점에서 캄보디아의 물 문제는 대략 두가지 카테고리로 구분된다. 상당히 많은 수의 보고서들이 지표수와 지하수 문제에 대해 분원성 미생물과 비소 오염이 각각 가장 대표적인 문제인 것으로 보고하고 있다. 최근에 가정용 정수기 시스템으로서 생물-모래여과기, MF, RO 등 다양한 소재를 이용한 시스템들이 농촌지역에 보급/채택되었다. 그러나 BSF와 조합형 막여과 공정들은 신뢰하기 어려운 효율, 높은 멤브레인 교체비용과 유지관리의 문제점들로 인해 당초 기대에 미치지 못하는 기술로 인식되기 시작하였다. 금번 연구는 가정용 정수기로서 활용이 가능한 소형 세라믹 필터를 개발하기 위해 캄보디아 북서부의 점토와 황토를 이용하여 두 종류의 중력식 세라믹 필터를 만들었고, 이들에 대한 현지 적용성 여부를 평가하였다.

Here, we introduce a means of utilizing waste oyster shells which were obtained from temporary storage near coastal workplaces as $CO_2$ adsorbents. The calcined CaO can be easily dissociated to $Ca^{2+}$ cation and $CO_3{^{2-}}$ anion by hydrolysis and gas-liquid carbonation reaction and converted to precipitated calcium carbonate (PCC) in algae-containing water. The calcium hydroxide and carbonation combination in algae-containing water significantly contributed to improving water quality which is very dependent on the addition amount of calcined powders.

In order to develope hydroxyapatite ceramics which has mechanical strength as bio-implant materials and get the basic data for the study and application of biocompatibility, hydroxyapatite was synthesized at Ca/P=1.67~1.75, pH 7~11 by precipitation method. Using prepared powders, the sintered body, fluorine substituted body and the porous body was formed and their properties were investigated. The sample obtained in condition of Ca/P=1.67, pH 7 and sintering at 1,15$0^{\circ}C$ was decomposed to $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate, and co-existed with hydroxyapatite. Hydroxyapatite synthesized at pH 11 was not easily decomposed to $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate at sintering process. The substitution of a small amount of fluorine for hydroxyapatite prevented hydroxyapatite from being decompsed to $\beta$-tricalcium phosphate. Hydroxyapatite ceramics which substited of 10% fluorine was prepared at 1,15$0^{\circ}C$, and the valueof bending strength for this body were found to be 112MPa.

Since chelating chemical had focused for enhancing bio-susceptibility and ability for the binding with biomaterials, in this study, Nitrilotiriacetic acid (NTA) was utilized for the developing chelate ligand attached superparamagnetic nanoparticle. In order to conjugate NTA, carboxylic group was needed on the surface of substrate particle for building peptide bond with amine group which was branched from the NTA structure. Therefore Fe₃O₄ nanoparticle was functionalized with various of amine precursor (Polyethyleneimine (PEI), (3-Aminopropyl)triethoxysilane (APTES)), and carboxyl precursor (Polyacrylic acid (PAA)) before the conjugation of NTA. Then NTA conjugation behavior was estimated which is varied with the type of amine precursor which affects to the surface properties.

Ceramics have some properties that are unmatched by other kind of materials like metals or polymers. The ability of high thermal and chemical resistance and in case of being superior in specific mechanical properties makes the ceramic materials suitable for arange of applications. The microstructure and morphology of a material arguably permit the use of many advanced application otherwise difficult to achieve.Porous structures have some important applications in biomedical and environmental field. For human hard tissue reconstruction and augmentation procedure suitable biomaterials are used with a desirable porosity. A range of porous bioceramics were fabricated with tailored design to meet the demand of specific applications. Channeled and interconnected porosity was introduced in alumina, zirconia, and hydroxyapatite or tri calcium phosphate ceramics by different methods like multi-pass extrusion process, bubble formation in viscous slurry,slurry dripping in immiscible liquid, sponge replica method etc. The detailed microstructural and morphological investigations were carried out to establish the unique features of each method and the developed systems. For environmental filters the porous structures were also very important. We investigated a range of channeled and randomly porous silicon based ceramic composites to enhance the material stability and filtration efficiency by taking advantage of the material chemistry of the element. Detailed microstructural and mechanical characterizations were carried out for the fabricated porous filtration systems.

The purpose of this study was to process bio-active glass ceramic composite, reinforced with sapphire fibers, by hot press. Also to study the interface of the matrix and the sapphire fiber, and the mechanical properties. Glass raw materials melted in Pt crucible at 1300$^{\circ}C$ during 3.5 hours. The melt was crushed in ball mill and then crushed material, ground and sieved to $<40{\beta}{\mu}m$. Sapphire fibers cut (30mm) and aligned. Powder and fibers hot pressed. The micrographs show good bonding between the matrix and the fiber and no porosity in the glass matrix. This means ideal fracture phenomena. Glass is fractured before the fiber. This is indication of good fracture strength. EDXS showing aluminum rich phase and crystalline phase. Bright field image of the matrix showing crystalline phase. Also diffraction pattern of TEM showing the crystalline phase and more than one phase. Strength of the samples was determined by 3 point bend testing. Strength of the 10vol% sample was approximately 69MPa, while strength of the control sample is 35MPa. Conclusions through this study as follow: 1. Micrographs show no porosity in the glass matrix and the interface. 2. The interface between the fiber and the glass matrix show no gaps. 3. Fracture of the glass indicates characteristic fiber-matrix separation. 4. Presence of crystalline phase at high processing temperature. 5. Sapphire is compatible with bioactive glass.

In $TiO_2$-CuO systems, low-temperature sinterability was investigated by a conventional sintering method. Sintering temperatures were set at under $950^{\circ}C$, at which the volume diffusion is inactive. The temperatures are less than the melting point of Ag ($961^{\circ}C$), which is often used as an internal conductor in low-temperature co-fired ceramic technology. To optimize the amount of CuO dopant, various dopant contents were added. The optimum level for enhanced densification was 2 wt% CuO. Excess dopants were segregated to the grain boundaries. The segregated dopants supplied a high diffusion path, by which grain boundary diffusion improved. At lower temperatures in the solid state region, grain boundary diffusion was the principal mass transport mechanism for densification. The enhanced grain boundary diffusion, therefore, improved densification. In this regard, the results of this study prove that the sintering mechanism was the same as that of activated sintering.

This work addresses the development of microfiltration ceramic membrane from alumina using extrusion method. The membranes were sintered at different temperatures ranging between 1000 and 1300℃. The alumina was characterized with thermogravimetric analysis, particle size distribution, X-ray diffraction, Fourier transform infrared spectrometer and scanning electron microscope analysis. Subsequently, the effect of sintering temperature on the membrane properties such as porosity, flexural strength, and pure water permeability was investigated and optimized for the sintering temperature. It is observed that with increasing sintering temperature, the porosity of the membranes decreases and the flexural strength, and pure water permeability of the membranes increase. The uncoated and coated membranes were compared at constant flux mode of filtration. Under the turbidity solution recirculation alone at 100 NTU, trans-membrane pressure (TMP) of uncoated membrane remained constant when the filtration flux was below 121 Lm^-2 h ^-1 , while the coated membrane was 111 Lm_-2 h ^-1 . Although suction pressure increased more rapidly at higher turbidity, coated membrane filtration showed better removal efficiency of the turbidity.
