A series of Dy³⁺, Sm³⁺, and Dy³⁺/Sm³⁺ doped Gd₂WO₆ phosphors were synthesized by the conventional solid-state reaction. The X-ray diffraction patterns revealed that all of the diffraction peaks could be attributed to the monoclinic Gd₂WO₆ crystal structure, irrespective of the type and the concentration of activator ions. The photoluminescence (PL) excitation spectra of Dy³⁺-doped Gd₂WO₆ phosphors contained an intense charge transfer band centered at 302 nm in the range of 240-340 nm and two weak peaks at 351 and 386 nm. Under an excitation wavelength of 302 nm, the PL emission spectra consisted of two strong blue and yellow bands centered at 482 nm and 577 nm. The PL emission spectra of the Sm³⁺-doped Gd₂WO₆ phosphors had a series of three peaks centered at 568 nm, 613 nm, and 649 nm, corresponding to the ⁶G_5/2 → ⁶H_5/2, ⁶G_5/2 → ⁶H_9/2, and ⁶G_5/2 → ⁶H_11/2 transitions of Sm³⁺, respectively. The PL emission spectra of the Dy³⁺- and Sm³⁺-codoped Gd₂WO₆ phosphors showed the blue and yellow emission lines originating from the ⁴F_9/2 → ⁶H_15/2 and ⁴F_9/2 → ⁴H_13/2 transitions of Dy³⁺ and reddish-orange and red emission bands due to the ⁴G_5/2 → ⁶H_7/2 and ⁴G_5/2 → ⁶H_9/2 transitions of Sm³⁺. As the concentration of Sm³⁺ increased from 1 to 15 mol%, the intensities of two PL spectra emitted by the Dy³⁺ ions gradually decreased, while those of the three emission bands due to the Sm³⁺ ions slowly increased, thus producing the color change from white to orange. The CIE color coordinates of Gd₂WO₆:5 mol% Dy³⁺, 1 mol% Sm³⁺ phosphors were (0.406, 0.407), which was located in the warm white light region.

In this study, the properties of blue inorganic nano-pigments with a spinel structure were systematically investigated. We report the preparation of a blue ceramic nano-pigment and the Co and Ni substitutional effects on the blue color. $MgAl_2O_4$ was selected as the crystalline host network for the synthesis of cobalt and nickel-based blue ceramic nano-pigments. Various compositions of $Co_xMg_{1-x}Al_2O_4$ and $Ni_xMg_{1-x}Al_2O_4$ ($0{\leq}x{\leq}1$) powders were prepared using apolymerized complex method. The obtained powder was preheated at $400^{\circ}C$ for 5 h and then calcined at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 5 h. XRD patterns of the (Co,Mg)$Al_2O_4$ and (Ni,Mg)$Al_2O_4$ samples showed a single phase of the spinel structure in all compositions. TEM results indicated nano-sized pigments for (Co,Mg)$Al_2O_4$ and (Ni,Mg)$Al_2O_4$ with a particle size ranging from 20 to 50 nm. The characteristics of the color tones of (Co,Mg)$Al_2O_4$ and (Ni,Mg)$Al_2O_4$ were analyzed by CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ measurements. In addition, the thermal stability and the binding characteristics of (Co,Mg)$Al_2O_4$, (Ni,Mg)$Al_2O_4$ are discussed in terms of the TG-DSC and FT-IR results, respectively.

Aspirating or swallowing foreign bodies is a common occurrence. If they are wholly or partly radiopaque, their localization in and progress through the gastrointestinal tract can be more effective. Of the dental origin foreign materials swallowed, the most common things are fragments of anterior maxillary partial denture. But the radiopacity of denture base resins is not sufficient to determine the location of the objects. The purpose of this study was to develop a radiopaque dental acrylic resin, which has clinically detectible radiopacity with minimal change of mechanical properties and color. The radiopacity, color change(CIE 6..E) and microhardness of acrylic resins were determined after mixing barium sulfate or iodide compound. Thermocycling course was conducted to determine the change of characteristic of resins after using for a long time in the mouth. Five or ten percent of barium sulfate to total weight of cured material was mixed with heat curing dental acrylic resin or chemically curing orthodontic resin. In the case of iodide compound, the mixing ratio was two or three percent. After mixing the high radiopaque materials, resin was cured to 20×20×2 mm plate, polished with #600 sand paper and finally polished with Microcloth(Buehler). The specimens were thermocycled in 5 and 55 t distilled water for 2,000 times, and the measurement of radiopacity, color and Vickers hardness was repeated every 500 times thcrmocycling. The radiopacity of specimens on the X -ray films was measured with densitometer(X-rite). The color change was detennined with differential colorimeter(Model TC-6FX, Tokyo Denshoku), and the Vickers hardness number was measured with microhardness tester(Mitsuzawa). The following results were obtained : 1. All the three variables, the kinds of acrylic resins, the mixing or the kinds of high radiopaque materials and thermocycling, had combined effect on the radiopacity of the dental acrylic resins(p<0.0l). 2. The two variables, the mixing or the kinds of high radiopaque materials and thermocycling, influenced on the radiopacity of the dental acrylic resins(p<0.01). But the kinds of acrylic resins did not influence on the color change of mixed dental acrylic resins(p>0.05). 3. Each of the three variables, the kinds of acrylic resins, the mixing or the kinds of high radiopaque materials and thermocycling, influenced on the radiopacity of dental acrylic resins(p<0.0l). 4. The high radiopaque materials used in this study did not yield clinically usable radiopacity, and the color change was great after mixing those materials.

Organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with single emissive layer structures using two fluorescent dopants were fabricated and the device was composed of ITO / NPB ($700{\AA}$) / MADN : C545T - 1.0% : DCJTB - 0.3% ($300{\AA}$) / Bphen ($300{\AA}$) / LiF ($10{\AA}$) /Al ($1,000{\AA}$). C545T and DCJTB were functioned as green fluorescent dye and red fluorescent dye under MADN as host material. Concentrations of C545T and DCJTB was changed in emissive layer of MADN. Optimized OLED device using two fluorescence dopants shows emission efficiency of 8.42 cd/A and luminescence of 3169 cd/$m^2$at 6 V with CIE color coordinate, (0.43, 0.50). Electroluminescence of optimized OLED showed two peak at 500 and 564 nm according to C545T and DCJTB. These results indicate that F$\ddot{o}$ster energy transfer energy transfer was from MADN to C545T and rather than to DCJTB continuously.

ZnS:Mn TFEL devices were fabricated by electron-beam evaporation method and then the electro-optical properties were investigated. To investigate the capacitance which was due to oxygen vacancy at the $Ta_2O_5$ thin film, AES(Auger Electron Spectroscopy) and C-F(capacitance-frequency) measurements were used. It was found that the capacitance was decreased by annealing the $Ta_2O_5$ film in oxygen ambience. From EL emission measurement, we observed the EL emission spectrum which had the peak range from 550nm and 650nm. This emission is associated with the transition from $^4T_1(^4G)$ first excited state to $^6A_1(^6S)$ ground state in the $3d^5$ energy level configuration of $Mn^{2+}$ occurs. The threshold voltage of EL device with $Ta_2O_5$ insulator layer was found to be 24V~28V. The CIE color coordinates of these emission are X=0.5151, Y=0.4202 which is yellowish orange emitting. The EL device using $Ta_2O_5$ insulator layer can be driven with a low voltage which is beneficial to the practical application.

This work aims to suggest the most proper Hwangtoh color(ocher) for sidewalks and walkways located at the central part of the city. The actual colors of Hwangtoh samples that were obtained from 3 different locations (mountain walkways) in Busan were measured. In addition, personal preferences of such Hwangtoh colors were evaluated through survey in order to provide a proper standard reference color for urban walkways and sidewalks. With respect to the chromaticity of Hwangtoh obtained in Busan, $a^*$ and $b^*$ values were found to range from 3.6 to 13.6 and 11.4 to 23.4, respectively. It was also found that $L^*$ (lightness) values of 3 different Hwangtoh samples were found to be similar. According to the results from survey, higher values of $+a^*$ (red type) and $+b^*$ (yellow type) were preferred, indicating the red and yellow color needs to be developed stronger from Hwangtoh. Based on these findings, the proper Hwangtoh color used for walkways in urban area was chosen. It was found to be $L^*$ for 32.2~45.8, $a^*$ for 5.2~13.6, and $b^*$ for 15.8~21.2, respectively.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of glucomannan (GMN), carrageenan (CAR), carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC), and transglutaminase-B (TGB) on the quality and storage properties of pork patties manufactured with pork skin connective tissue during 21 d of storage at $4^{\circ}C$. Results showed that CIE color values like lightness, redness and yellowness did not differ significantly among the pork patties. Sensory attributes also did not differ between the treatments (P>0.05). However, cooking loss was significantly lower in the group with added GMN, CAR, CMC, and TGB compared to the control at 21 d of storage. The shear force value of GMN and TGB were lower than the control at 21 d of storage (P<0.05). The pork patties added with GMN and TGB had lower thiobarbituric acid reactive substances (TBARS) values than the control at 1 or 21 d of storage (P<0.05). Volatile basic nitrogen (VBN) values of all treatment samples was lower than the control at 21 d of storage (P<0.05). Therefore, result of cooking loss suggested that the decrease in shear force in GMN and TGB were due to higher moisture retention. Also, the pork skin connective tissue with added GMN and TGB decreased lipid oxidation of pork patties.

The objective of this study was to evaluate the effect of color measuring instrument by measuring the color of dental composite resins. Nine shade light cured composite resin disks were prepared (diameter : 15 mm, thickness : 4 mm). CIE $L^*a^*b^*$ color scale of each disk was measured with 3 different types of spectrophotometer [MiniScan XE plus (Model 4000S, Hunter Lab, USA), CM-3500d (Minolta, Japan) and Specbos 2100 Miniature VIS Reflection spectrometer (Serial No: 319416, JETI Technishe VIS Instrumentic GmbH. Germany)]. Miniscan XE Plus and CM-3500d using identical measuring geometry with different size of viewing aperture. But Specbos 2100 using different measuring geometry. Within the limitation of this study, there were color difference (${\Delta}E^*$) from 2.4 to 7.8 between Miniscan XE Plus and CM-3500d, but $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$ values showed the high correlation. However, there were great color difference (${\Delta}E^*$) in the extent of about 20 between instruments with the different measuring geometry. Therefore, color scale measured by color measuring instrument should be used as a relative value rather than an absolute value in the field of dentistry.

Objectives: This study evaluated color differences (${\Delta}Es$) and translucency parameter changes (${\Delta}TPs$) of various computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) blocks after immersion in coffee. Materials and Methods: Eight CAD/CAM blocks and four restorative composite resins were evaluated. The CIE $L^{\ast}a^{\ast}b^{\ast}$ values of 2.0 mm thick disk-shaped specimens were measured using the spectrophotometer on white and black backgrounds (n = 6). The ${\Delta}Es$ and ${\Delta}TPs$ of one day, one week, and one month immersion in coffee or water were calculated. The values of each material were analyzed by two-way ANOVA and Tukey's multiple comparisons (${\alpha}=0.05$). The ${\Delta}Es$ after prophylaxis paste polishing of 1 month coffee immersion specimens, water sorption and solubility were also evaluated. Results: After one month in coffee, ${\Delta}Es$ of CAD/CAM composite resin blocks and restorative composites ranged from 1.6 to 3.7 and from 2.1 to 7.9, respectively, and ${\Delta}TPs$ decreased. The ANOVA of ${\Delta}Es$ and ${\Delta}TPs$ revealed significant differences in two main factors, immersion periods and media, and their interaction except for ${\Delta}Es$ of TEL (Telio CAD, Ivoclar Vivadent). The ${\Delta}Es$ significantly decreased after prophylaxis polishing except GRA (Gradia Block, GC). There was no significant correlation between ${\Delta}Es$ and water sorption or solubility in water. Conclusions: The ${\Delta}Es$ of CAD/CAM blocks after immersion in coffee varied among products and were comparable to those of restorative composite resins. The discoloration of CAD/CAM composite resin blocks could be effectively removed with prophylaxis paste polishing, while that of some restorative composites could not be removed.
