The photodegradation of the model compounds Quinol, an aromatic organic compound and Acid blue FFS, an acid dye of chemical class Triphenylmethane was studied by using illumination with UV lamp of light intensity 250W. $TiO_2$ and $TiO_2$ doped with Boron and Nitrogen was used as catalyst. The sol-gel method was followed with titanium isopropoxide as precursor and doping was done using Boron and Nitrogen. In photocatalytic degradation, $TiO_2$ and doped $TiO_2$ dosage, UV illumination time and initial concentration of the compounds were changed and examined in order to determine the optimal experimental conditions. Operational time was optimized for 360 min. The optimum dosage of $TiO_2$ and BN doped $TiO_2$ was obtained to be 2 $mgL^{-1}$ and 2.5 $mgL^{-1}$ respectively. Maximum degradation % for quinol and Blue FFS acid dye was 78 and 95 respectively, at the optimum dosage of BN-doped $TiO_2$ catalyst. It was 10 and 4% higher than when undoped $TiO_2$ catalyst was used.

Al-Si coated boron steel has been widely used as commercial hot stamping steel. When the steel is heated at 900~930℃ for 5 min in an electric furnace, thickness of the coating layer increases as a consequence of formation of intermetallic compounds and diffusion layer. The diffusion layer plays an important roll in blunting the propagation of crack from coating layer to base steel. Change in microstructure and coating layer of Al-Si coated boron steel after conductive heating with higher heating rate than electric furnace has been investigated in this study. Conductive-heated steel showed the martensitic structure with vickers hardness of 505~567. Both intermetallic compounds in coating layer and diffusion layer were not observed in conductive-heated steel due to rapid heating. It has been found that the conductive-heating consisting of rapid heating to 550℃ which is lower than melting point of Al-Si coating layer, slower heating to 900℃, and then 1 min holding at 900℃ is effective in forming intermetallic compound in coating layer and diffusion layer.

This research aimed to evaluate the durability of Samama (Anthocephalus macrophyllus) wood treated with boron preservatives, citric acid (CA), and heating against termites. Wood samples were impregnated firstly with 5% boron solutions, such as boric acid, borax and boric acid + borax combination at 1:1 (w/w). The second impregnation used 5% CA. The impregnations were conducted in a pressure tank at 7 kg/cm² for 4 hours. After impregnation, the samples were heat treated at 80℃ or 160℃. All the treated and control samples were exposed to decay fungi, drywood termites and subterranean termites based on SNI 7207:2014 standard. The results showed that boron preservatives reduced fungal attacks on Samama wood. The combination treatment of boric acid, CA and heat treatment at 160℃ was also effective to increase the resistance of Samama wood against white- and brown rot fungi, and drywood termites. Heat treatment consistently improved the resistance of Samama wood from decay fungi.

Experiments related to Boron Neutron Capture Therapy (BNCT) accomplished at the Institute of Nuclear Techniques (INT), Budapest University of Technology and Economics (TUB) are presented. Relevant investigations are required before designing BNCT for vivo applications. Samples of relevant boron compounds (H₃BO₃, BDTPA) usually employed in BNCT were investigated with neutron beam. Channel #5 in the research reactor (100 kW) of INT-TUB provides the neutron beam. Boron samples are mounted on a carrier for neutron irradiation. The particle attenuation of several carrier materials was investigated, and the one with the lowest attenuation was selected. The effects of boron compound type, mass, and compound phase state were also investigated. To detect the emitted charged particles, a traditional ZnS(Ag) detector was employed. The neutron beam's interaction with the detector-detecting layer is investigated. Graphite (as a moderator) was employed to change the neutron beam's characteristics. The fast neutron beam was also thermalized by placing a portable fast neutron source in a paraffin container and irradiating the H₃BO₃. The obtained results suggest that the direct measurement approach appears to be insufficiently sensitive for determining the radiation dose committed by the Alpha particles from the ¹⁰B (n,α) reaction. As a result, a new approach must be used.

Effects of hafnium, boron and zirconium on the ductility of Ni$_3$(Al, Fe) intermetallic compounds were studied using tensile test and SIMS analysis. Ni$_3$(Al, Fe) alloy with 0.1 at.% Hf, 0.05 at.% B and 0.1 at.% Zr additions showed maximum elongations of about 30% at 300K, 10% at 300K and 14% at 473K, respectively. The fracture mode of the alloy without the additive was the mixture of intergranular and transgranular fractures, but the addition of Hf, Zr or B changed the fracture mode to transgranular only. SIMS analysis showed that the beneficial effects of Hf, Zr or B segregation on the grain boundary strength are consistent with the grain boundary cohesion theory.

본 연구에서는 표면이 개질된 목분으로 강화된 PP수지 복합체의 $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$과 boron 혼합물($Na_2B_4O_7:H_3BO_3=5:1\;ratio$)에 대한 난연특성에 관해 알아보았다. 또한 m-phenylene dimaleimide(PDMI)로 개질된 PP수지와 비개질된 PP수지 복합체의 기계적 특성을 비교하였다. $(NH_4)_2HPO_4$로 개질된 복합체의 난연성은 boron 혼합물로 개질된 복합체의 난연성보다 우수하였다. 복합체의 충격강도는 목분의 함량이 증가함에 따라 증가되었고, 인장강도는 감소하였다. 개질된 PP수지 복합체의 기계적 강도는 비개질된 수지의 복합체보다 개선되었다. 또한 난연제의 농도가 증가함에 따라 인장강도는 점진적으로 증가되었고, 25 wt %에서 최대값을 나타내었으며, PDMI의 함량이 증가함에 따라 목분-PP 복합체의인장강도는 16 wt %까지 증가되었다.

해수담수화의 빠른 증가와 함께 붕소 제거에 대한 중요성이 상승하고 있다. 본 연구는 표면개질 시 친수성 화합물을 이용하여 수투과량을 최대한 막고 붕소 제거율을 높이기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 첫째로, Control polyamide 역삼투막을 얻기 위해 M-phenylenediamine (MPD)와 trimesoyl chloride (TMC)를 Polysulfone 한외여과막에 계면중합을 시켜 polyamide 활성층을 제조하였다. 다음으로, Control polyamide 역삼투막에 표면개질을 진행시켜 D-gluconic acid (DGCA)와 D-gluconic acid sodium salt (DGCA-Na)를 glutaraldehyde (GA)와 hydrochloric acid (HCl)을 이용하여 합성시켰다. 합성된 역삼투막의 표면 분석을 위해 XPS 분석을 진행하였으며, DGCA 및 DGCA-Na 화합물과의 반응이 되었음을 확인하였다. 또한, morphology 측정을 위해 FE-SEM과 AFM 분석을 진행하였으며, polyamide 활성층 형성 및 표면 거칠기를 확인할 수 있었다. 수투과량의 경우, 표면개질을 진행한 역삼투막은 10 GFD 수준이거나 그 이하의 값을 가졌다. 하지만, DGCA 및 DGCA-Na 화합물과 표면개질을 진행한 역삼투막의 붕소 제거율은 94.38, 94.64%로, Control polyamide 역삼투막보다 각각 12.03, 12.29 %p만큼 큰 값을 가지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
