Borosilicate, $B_2O_3$ and BN derived from liquid precursors have been tested as shielding materials for the long period of oxidation resistance of C/BN composites at $650^{\circ}C$. Borosilicate coating displayed excellent oxidation resistance and low moisture absorbance, while $B_2O_3$ and BN were less effective in elevating the oxidation resistance. The enhancement of the oxidation resistance was explained as self-healing effect by viscous flow of the borosilicate glass over Tg, resulting in the reduction of the exposed carbon fibers in a BN matrix.

The formation of titanium diboride ($TiB_2$ ) via the reduction of $TiO_2$ with boric oxide and carbon was studied in a partially reducing atmosphere of argon mixed with 4 vol.%H2. The effect of reaction time, temperature, partial pressure of nitrogen and $TiO_2/B_2_O3$ stoichiometric ratio on the reducibility of oxides has been studied. The phases formed were analysed by using X-ray rowder diffraction and scanning sosctron microscopic techniques. In this paper, we also investigated the presence of $CaC_2$ as a reducing agent on the reducibility of oxide mixtures and on the Ti-B-C-Ca-O phase equilibria. The morphology of $TiB_2$ formed in the presence of $CaC_2$ is compared with the microstructure of $TiB_2$ formed as a consequence of carbothermic reduction. The observed variation in $TiB_2$ crystals formed is also explained.

The paper addresses contribution to the modeling and optimization of major machinability parameters (cutting force, surface roughness, and tool wear) in finish dry hard turning (FDHT) for machinability evaluation of hardened AISI grade die steel D₃ with PVD-TiN coated (Al₂O₃-TiCN) mixed ceramic tool insert. The turning trials are performed based on Taguchi's L₁₈ orthogonal array design of experiments for the development of regression model as well as adequate model prediction by considering tool approach angle, nose radius, cutting speed, feed rate, and depth of cut as major machining parameters. The models or correlations are developed by employing multiple regression analysis (MRA). In addition, statistical technique (response surface methodology) followed by computational approaches (genetic algorithm and particle swarm optimization) have been employed for multiple response optimization. Thereafter, the effectiveness of proposed three (RSM, GA, PSO) optimization techniques are evaluated by confirmation test and subsequently the best optimization results have been used for estimation of energy consumption which includes savings of carbon footprint towards green machining and for tool life estimation followed by cost analysis to justify the economic feasibility of PVD-TiN coated Al₂O₃+TiCN mixed ceramic tool in FDHT operation. Finally, estimation of energy savings, economic analysis, and sustainability assessment are performed by employing carbon footprint analysis, Gilbert approach, and Pugh matrix, respectively. Novelty aspects, the present work: (i) contributes to practical industrial application of finish hard turning for the shaft and die makers to select the optimum cutting conditions in a range of hardness of 45-60 HRC, (ii) demonstrates the replacement of expensive, time-consuming conventional cylindrical grinding process and proposes the alternative of costlier CBN tool by utilizing ceramic tool in hard turning processes considering technological, economical and ecological aspects, which are helpful and efficient from industrial point of view, (iii) provides environment friendliness, cleaner production for machining of hardened steels, (iv) helps to improve the desirable machinability characteristics, and (v) serves as a knowledge for the development of a common language for sustainable manufacturing in both research field and industrial practice.

Construction development and greenhouse gas emissions have globally required a strategic management to take some steps to stain and maintain the environment. Nowadays, recycled aggregates, in particular ceramic waste, have been widely used in concrete structures due to the economic and environmentally friendly solution, requiring the knowledge of recycled concrete. Also, one of the materials used as a substitute for concrete cement is wollastonite mineral to decrease carbon dioxide (CO2) from the cement production process by reducing the concrete consumption in concrete. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effect of wollastonite on the mechanical properties and durability of conventional composite concrete, containing recycled aggregates such as compressive strength, tensile strength (Brazilian test), and durability to acidic environment. On the other hand, in order to determine the strength and durability of the concrete, 5 mixing designs including different wollastonite values and recovered aggregates including constant values have been compared to the water - cement ratio (w/c) constant in all designs. The experimental results have shown that design 5 (containing 40% wollastonite) shows only 6.1% decrease in compressive strength and 4.9% decrease in tensile strength compared to the control plane. Consequently, the use of wollastonite powder to the manufacturing of conventional structural concrete containing recycled ceramic aggregates, in addition to improving some of the properties of concrete are environmentally friendly solutions, providing natural recycling of materials.

본 연구에서는 유동층-화학증기침투에 의해 이염화이메틸규소(DDS)와 수소로부터 생성된 탄화규소를 활성탄에 증착시킨 세라믹 탄소/탄화규소복합체가 제조되었다. 4~12, 12~20, 20~40 mesh의 활성탄이 사용되었다. 증착 후 반응물인 이염화이메틸규소의 농도, 활성탄의 크기, 반응압력, 반응시간에 따른 반응후 각 시료의 표면적과 증착량 및 증착양상을 관찰하였다. 실험결과 DDS의 농도가 낮고 반응압력이 작을수록 시료 기공내에 고른 증착을 갖는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 기공직경과 표면적들이 어떠한 시점에서 최소값을 갖는 것으로 기공내부 증착에서 입자외부 표면 증착으로 바뀜을 알 수 있었다. DDS의 농도가 낮고 반응압력이 낮을 때 작은 탄화규소입자가 활성탄 표면에 더욱 고르게 증착되었다. 이 결과들은 SEM, TGA, 기공도측정장치, BET에 의해 확인되었다.

Multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) modified with Pd and $TiO_2$ composite catalysts were synthesized by the sol-gel method followed by solvothermal treatment at low temperature. The chemical composition and surface structure were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Photocatalytic recycle degradation experiments were carried out under both UV and visible light irradiation in the presence of MWCNT/$TiO_2$ and Pd-MWCNT/$TiO_2$ composites. As expected, the nanosized Pd-MWCNT/$TiO_2$ photocatalysts had enhanced activity over the non Pd treated MWCNT/$TiO_2$ material in the degradation of a rhodamine B (Rh.B) solution. An increase in photocatalytic activity was observed and attributed to an increase in the photo-absorption effect by MWCNTs and the cooperative effect of Pd and $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. According to the recycled results, the as-prepared Pd-MWCNT/$TiO_2$ sample had a good effect on it.

Enzymatic fuel cells are promising low cost, compact and flexible energy resources. The basis of enzymatic fuel cells is transfer of electron from enzyme to the electrode surface and vice versa. Electron transfer is done either by direct or mediated electron transfer (DET/MET), each one having its own advantages and disadvantages. In this study, the DET and MET of laccase-based biocathodes are compared with each other. The DET of laccase enzyme has been studied using two methods; assemble of needle-like carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on the electrode, and CNTs/Nafion polymer. MET of laccase enzyme also is done by use of ceramic electrode containing, ABTS (2,2'-azino-bis [3-ethylbenzthiazoline-6-sulphonic acid]) /sol-gel. Cyclic voltammetric results of DET showed a pair of well-defined redox peaks at $200{\mu}A$ and $170{\mu}A$ in a solution containing 5and $10{\mu}M$ o-dianisidine as a substrate for needle-like assembled CNTs and CNTs-Nafion composite respectively. In MET method using sol-gel/ABTS, the maximum redox peak was $14{\mu}A$ in the presence of 15 M solution o-dianisidine as substrate. The cyclic voltammetric results showed that laccase immobilization on needle-like assembled CNTs or CNTs-Nafion is more efficient than the sol-gel/ABTS electrode. Therefore, the expressed methods can be used to fabricate biocathode of biofuel cells or laccase based biosensors.

본 연구에서는 높은 열전도성을 갖는 금속-세라믹 core-shell 구조의 CoAl₂O₄@Al 복합체를 Al 금속의 수열반응을 통하여 합성하고, 이를 Rh 촉매의 담지체로 적용하여 구조적, 촉매화학적 특성을 분석하였다. Rh/CoAl₂O₄@Al (3 wt% Rh) 촉매는 단순침적법(incipient wetness impregnation)으로 제조하였고, 특성의 비교평가를 위하여 공침법(co-precipitation)으로 합성한 CoAl₂O₄를 담지체로 하여 Rh/CoAl₂O₄ (3 wt% Rh) 촉매를 단순침적법으로 제조하였다. 이들 촉매들은 N₂ 흡착, XRD, 전자 주사현미경, temperature programmed reduction (TPR), CO 화학흡착 분석을 통해서 그 특성을 분석하였고, 글리세롤 수증기 개질 반응(550 ℃)을 통한 수소전환반응에 적용하여 촉매적 특성을 평가하고 분석하였다. 글리세롤 수증기 개질반응에 대하여 Rh/CoAl₂O₄@Al 촉매는 Rh/CoAl₂O₄ 촉매에 비하여 약 2.8배 높은 글리세롤 전환 turnover frequency (TOF)를 보여주었고, 이는 높은 열전도성을 갖는 금속-세라믹 복합체를 통한 원활한 반응열의 전달에 기인한 것으로 분석되었다. CoAl₂O₄@Al 및 CoAl₂O₄ 담지체에서도 환원에 의하여 노출된 일부 Co 금속에 의한 촉매적 활성이 관찰되었는데, Rh/CoAl₂O₄@Al과 Rh/CoAl₂O₄ 촉매에서와 마찬가지로 core-shell 구조체인 CoAl₂O₄@Al이 CoAl₂O₄ 보다 높은 촉매적 활성을 보였다. 그러나, 이들 촉매는 글리세롤 개질반응에서 비교적 높은 비활성화를 보여주었고 이는 촉매표면의 탄소침적(coking)에 기인한 것으로 판명되었다.
