Titanium aluminium nitride((TiAl)N) film is anticipated as an advanced coating film with wear resistance used for drills, bites etc. and with corrosion resistance at a high temperature. In this study, (TiAl)N thin films were deposited both at room temperature and at elevated substrate temperatures of 573 to 773 K by using a two-facing-targets type DC sputtering system in a mixture Ar and $N_2$ gases. Atomic compositions of the binary Ti-Al alloy target is Al-rich (25Ti-75Al (atm%)). Process parameters such as precursor volume %, substrate temperature and Ar/$N_2$ gas ratio were optimized. The crystallization processes and phase transformations of (TiAl)N thin films were investigated by X-ray diffraction, field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The microhardness of (TiAl)N thin films were measured by a dynamic hardness tester. The films obtained with Ar/$N_2$ gas ratio of 1:3 and at 673 K substrate temperature showed the highest microhardness of $H_v$ 810. The crystallized and phase transformations of (TiAl)N thin films were $Ti_2AlN+AlN{\rightarrow}TiN+AlN$ for Ar/$N_2$ gas ratio of 1:3, $Ti_2AlN+AlN{\rightarrow}TiN+AlN{\rightarrow}Ti_2AlN+TiN+AlN$ for Ar/$N_2$ gas ratio of 1:1 and $TiN+AlN{\rightarrow}Ti_2AlN+TiN+AlN{\rightarrow}Ti_2AlN+AlN{\rightarrow}Ti_2AlN+TiN+AlN$ for Ar/$N_2$ gas ratio of 3:1. The above results are discussed in terms of crystallized phases and microhardness.

Gas sensing materials for detecting flammable gases such as $CH_4$, $C_3H_8$ and n-$C_4H_{10}$ were developed by util-izing $In_2O_3$ as the principal sensing material. The sensing materials were formulated by mixing $In_2O_3$ powder with one or two other chemicals such as $SnO_2$, $Y_2O_3$ and $Al_2O_3$ with a small addition of $PdCl_2$ as a catalyst. Sample of sensor were fabricated by coating each of the mixtures on a ceramic tube impregnating ethylsili-cate and firing at 75$0^{\circ}C$ Each material mixture was evaluated by measuring and comparing gas sensitivity(resistance in air/resistance with gas) to flammable gases such as $CH_4$, $C_3H-8$ and n-$C_4H_{10}$. It was found that among fifteen compositions tested three compositions as follows show the highest gas sensitivity and thus are very feasible for commercialization as the gas sensors ; o49.5 $In_2O_3$+50 Al2O3_0.5 PdCl2(wt%) o $20In_2O_3+29$ $SnO_2+50$ $Al_2O_3+1$ $PdCl_2$(wt%) o40 $In_2O_3$+9 $Y_2O_3+50$ $Al_2O_3+1$ $PdCl_2$(wt%)

Streptococcus mutans (S. mutans) is one of the most important bacteria in the formation of dental plaque and dental caries. S. mutans adheres to an acquired pellicle formed on the tooth surface, and aggregates with many oral bacteria. It initiates plaque formation by synthesizing glucan from sucrose, which is catalyzed by glucosyltransferases. Propolis is a resinous mixture produced by honeybees, by mixing saliva and beeswax with secretions gathered from wood sap and flower pollen. Bees prevent pathogenic invasions by coating the propolis to the outer and inner surface of the honeycomb. Propolis has traditionally been used for the treatment of allergic rhinitis, asthma and dermatitis. We investigated the inhibitory effects of propolis ethanol extract on biofilm formation and gene expression of S. mutans. The biofilm formation of S. mutans was determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and safranin staining. We observed that the extract of propolis had an inhibitory effect on the formation of S. mutans biofilms at concentrations higher than 0.2 mg/ml. Real-time PCR analysis showed that the gene expression of biofilm formation, such as gbpB, spaP, brpA, relA and vicR of S. mutans, was significantly decreased in a dose dependent manner. The ethanol extract of propolis showed concentration dependent growth inhibition of S. mutans, and significant inhibition of acid production at concentrations of 0.025, 0.05, 0.1 and 0.2 mg/ml, compared to the control group. These results suggest that the ethanol extract of propolis inhibits gene expression related to biofilm formation in S. mutans.

Composite membranes with a titania layer were prepared by soaking-rolling method with the titania sol of nanoparticles formed in the sol-gel process and investigated regarding the vapor permeation of various organic mixtures. The support modification was conducted by pressing $SiO_2$ xerogel of 500 nm in particle size under 10 MPa on the surface of a porous stainless steel (SUS) substrate and designed the multi-layered structure by coating the intermediate layer of ${\gamma}-Al_2O_3$. Microstructure of titania membrane was affected by heat-treatment and synthesis conditions of precursor sol, and titania formed at calcination temperature of 300$^{\circ}C$ with sol of [$H^+$]/[TIP]=0.3 possessed surface area of 210 $m^2$/g, average pore size of 1.25 nm. The titania composite membrane showed high $H_2/N_2$ selectivity and water/ethanol selectivity as 25-30 and 50-100, respectively. As a result of vapor permeation for water-alcohol and alcohol-alcohol mixture, titania composite membrane showed water-permselective and molecular-sieve permeation behavior. However, water/methanol selectivity of the membrane was very low because of chemical affinity of permeants for the membrane by similar physicochemical properties of water and methanol.

A gas sensor which has been made by wet process had fabricated by coating each of the mixture on alumina tube and firing at 85$0^{\circ}C$ for 3hrs. A gas concentration such $H_2$, CO, $C_3H_8$, $C_2H_2$ and $CH_4$ vs its detection voltage characteristics has been in-vestigated on $SnO_2-In_2O_3-MgO$ system doped with PdO, $La_2O_3$, $ThO_2$, NiO and $Nb_2O_5$ The optimum sensitivity composition for various gases were 90w/o $SnO_2$-9w/o $In_2O_3$-1w/o MgO for $H_2$, $C_2H_2$ CO and $C_3H_8$ and 95w/o $SnO_2$-4w/o $In_2O_3$-1w/o MgO for $CH_4$. The sample which has been made by wet process than dry process had predominated sensitivity for each gases and particle size of the sample coprecipitated with PH=9 was 0.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ The $SnO_2$-In2_O_3-MgO$ system doped with 2w/o $Nb_2O_5$ and NiO was the most sensitive for $H_2$ and $C_2H_2$ gas. In $SnO_2$-In2_O_3-MgO$ system doped with $ThO_2$ the sensitivity of $H_2$ gas was decreased but CO gas was in-creased when dopant con was increased.

The multi-wall carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) with graphite crystal structure were synthesized by the catalytic decomposition of a ferrocene-xylene mixture in a quartz tube reactor to use as the conductive filler in the binary polymer matrix composed of poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVdF) and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) for the EMI (electromagnetic interference) shielding applications. The yield of MWNTS was significantly dependent on the reaction temperature and the mole ratio of ferrocene to xylene, approaching to the maximum at 800 $^{\circ}C$ and 0.065 mole ratio. The electrical conductivity of the MWNTs-filled PVdF/PVP composite proportionally depended on the mass ratio of MWNTs to the binary polymer matrix, enhancing significantly from 0.56 to 26.7 S/cm with the raise of the mass ratio of MWNTs from 0.1 to 0.4. Based on the higher electrical conductivity and better EMI shielding effectiveness than the carbon nanofibers (CNFs)-filled coating materials, the MWNTs-filled binary polymer matrix showed a prospective possibility to apply to the EMI shielding materials. Moreover, the good adhesive strength confirmed that the binary polymer matrix could be used for improving the plastic properties of the EMI shielding materials.

일반적으로 강재시설물에 사용되는 유기에폭시 도장의 경우, 일반적인 조건에서는 우수한 내구성을 보이고 있으나, 송/배전 시설물인 강재전력시설물과 같이 빛(자외선)이나 열에 노출되는 환경에서는 도막자체의 열화현상에 의한 피해가 더욱 심각하게 증가하고 있다. 본 연구의 목적은 무기계 액상 규산질을 기초로 한 강재용 도장제를 개발하는 것이다. 이를 위해 6가지 예비실험을 거쳐서 최적의 배합조건을 도출하였으며, 물리적 특성실험 및 내구성 실험을 수행하였다. 실험결과 개발된 무기계 도료는 현재의 유기계 도료의 성능을 확보하고 있었으며, 내화학성에 대한 저항성이 개선된다면, 강재 시설물의 대체 도료로 사용될 수 있으며, 그 적용성이 더욱 증가할 것으로 평가되었다.

폼드 아스팔트 공법은 가열 아스팔트 혼합물공법과 비교했을 때 골재와 아스팔트 가열에 필요한 다량의 에너지 소모가 없으며 가열로 인한 이산화탄소가 발생하지 않기 때문에 환경적으로 안정한 공법으로 평가되고 있다. 특히, 아스팔트 재활용 측면에서는 전체 혼합물량의 60$\sim$70% 까지 많은량의 폐 아스팔트를 사용할 수 있기 때문에 폐 아스팔트 재활용에 매우 효과적인 방법이다. 그러나, 폼드 아스팔트 공법은 항상 일정한 양질의 혼합물을 얻기가 어렵고 중(重)교통의 도로에 적용하기에는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구는 골재와 폐 아스팔트를 $100^{\circ}C$ 미만으로 가열하는 새로운 방식인 반 가열공법을 사용했을 때 얻어지는 반 가열 재생 폼드 아스팔트 혼합물의 성능과 반 가열 방식의 타당성에 대한 연구결과이다. 반 가열 방식으로 제조된 재생 폼드 흔합물을 실내에서 코팅율, 크리프시험, 회복탄성시험, 간접인장강도 및 마샬 안정도시험을 실시한 결과 혼합물의 현저한 개선 효과를 나타내었다.

내염소성을 갖는 염제거공정용 술폰화 폴리아릴렌 에테르 술폰 랜덤 공중합체(SPAES) thin film composite (TFC)막이 모노글라임 용매를 이용하여 제조되었다. 모노글라임은 선택층인 SPAES만을 용해시키며, 다공성 폴리술폰(예 : Udel$^{(R)}$)층에 대해 비용해성을 지녀, TFC 제조를 위한 선택적 용매로 사용될 수 있다. 또한 개미산이나 디에틸글리콜과는 달리, 환경적으로 무해하며, 매우 낮은 끊는점을 지녔다는 점이 또 다른 장점이 될 수 있다. 다공성 Udel$^{(R)}$ 지지체 위에 코팅시, 코팅용액이 기공구조에 침투하여 유수량을 감소시키는 기공투과현상이 발생하는데, 이를 최소화하기 위해 지지체를 이소프로필알콜과 글리세린 혼합액에서 전처리 후에, 코팅-건조 공정을 통해 결함이 없는 SPAES TFC로 제조된다. 또한, SPAES 선택층의 술폰화도, 고정이온의 염상태 및 물리-화학적 가교효과를 SPAES TFC막을 통한 투과거동과 관련하여 관찰하였다.
