The thermal eigenvalue responses of the graded sandwich shell structure are evaluated numerically under the variable thermal loadings considering the temperature-dependent properties. The polynomial type rule-based sandwich panel model is derived using higher-order type kinematics considering the shear deformation in the framework of the equivalent single-layer theory. The frequency values are computed through an own home-made computer code (MATLAB environment) prepared using the finite element type higher-order formulation. The sandwich face-sheets and the metal core are discretized via isoparametric quadrilateral Lagrangian element. The model convergence is checked by solving the similar type published numerical examples in the open domain and extended for the comparison of natural frequencies to have the final confirmation of the model accuracy. Also, the influence of each variable structural parameter, i.e. the curvature ratios, core-face thickness ratios, end-support conditions, the power-law indices and sandwich types (symmetrical and unsymmetrical) on the thermal frequencies of FG sandwich curved shell panel model. The solutions are helping to bring out the necessary influence of one or more parameters on the frequencies. The effects of individual and the combined parameters as well as the temperature profiles (uniform, linear and nonlinear) are examined through several numerical examples, which affect the structural strength/stiffness values. The present study may help in designing the future graded structures which are under the influence of the variable temperature loading.

본 연구에서는 자성을 이용하여 재수득이 가능한 광 촉매 물질인 $ZnFe_2O_4@SnO_2@TiO_2$ core-shell nanoparticles (NPs)를 3단계 과정을 통해 합성하였다. 구조적 특성은 X-ray diffraction (XRD) 분석으로 확인하였다. Spinel 구조의 $ZnFe_2O_4$와 tetragonal 구조의 $SnO_2$와 anatase 구조의 $TiO_2$가 합성된 것을 확인하였다. 합성한 물질의 자기적 성질은 vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM)으로 확인하였다. Core 물질인 $ZnFe_2O_4$의 포화자화 값은 33.084 emu/g으로 확인하였다. $SnO_2$와 $TiO_2$층의 형성의 결과, 두께 증가로 인한 자성은 각각 33, 40% 감소하였으나 재수득이 가능한 충분한 자성을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 합성된 물질의 광 촉매 효율은 methylene blue (MB)를 사용하여 측정하였다. Core 물질의 효율은 4.2%로 확인하였고 $SnO_2$와 $TiO_2$ shell 형성의 결과 각각 73%와 96%로 증가하였고 높은 광 촉매 효율을 가지는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 항균 특성은 대장균(E. Coli)과 황색포도상구균(S. Aureus)을 사용하여 억제 영역을 확인하였다. Shell이 형성되면서 더 넓은 억제 영역이 형성되었고 이는 광 촉매 효율을 측정한 결과와 일치하는 것을 확인하였다.

NiO-coated YSZ powder was prepared using heterogeneous precipitation of Ni hydroxides on YSZ particle surface and high energy milling. The powders were characterized by TG/DTA, XRD, XPS, and SEM. Amorphous Ni precipitate completely decomposed into NiO at $500^{\circ}C$ and the growth of NiO crystallites was constrained by the core particles. Nanocrystalline NiO-coated YSZ core-shell structure powder could be obtained after calcination at $800^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. A core-shell powder compact, due to high sinterability, showed a near theoretical density at $1350^{\circ}C$. After reduction at $900^{\circ}C$, interpenetrating Ni-YSZ microstructure with very uniformly distributed fine Ni and YSZ grains and pores was observed. In contrast, the mechanically mixed oxide sample showed less uniform distribution of pores and larger discontinuous We particles as compared with the core-shell samples.

전자 통신 산업이 발달하면서 도전성 재료의 사용이 증가하게 되었다. 그에 따라 주로 사용되어오던 귀금속들을 대신할 저렴한 재료들이 필요하게 되었다. 그 중 구리는 귀금속에 비해 값이 저렴하고, 유사한 열 전기적 특성을 가졌지만 대기 중에서 쉽게 산화가 되는 문제점이 있다. 산화를 방지하기 위해서는 제조공정이 복잡해져 사용에 제한이 되어왔다. 구리의 산화 방지를 위한 방법 중 하나로 산화에 강한 금속을 Core-Shell 구조로 도금시켜 고유의 특성을 유지하며 산화를 방지하는 방법이 있다. 본 연구에서는 무전해 도금법으로 구리분말에 주석(Sn) 도금을 했고, 도금에 영향을 주는 인자들에 대해서 연구했다. XRD, FE-SEM, FIB, 4-Point Probe 등의 분석결과 구리 표면에 치밀한 주석피막이 도금되었고, 대기 중에서 산화가 되지 않았다. 분석결과를 바탕으로 최적의 도금 조건을 도출했고, 추가적으로, 도전성 필러 응용 가능성에 대한 실험을 했다. 합성된 분말을 pellet 형태로 압분 성형한 후 저온 열처리 전과 후의 변화를 분석했다. 그 결과 저온 치밀화를 통해 용융된 주석이 구리 입자들을 상호연결 시켰고, 전기 전도가 향상되었다.

Harmonic structure materials are materials with a core-shell structure having a shell with a small grain size and a core with a relatively large grain size. They are in the spotlight because their mechanical properties reportedly feature strength similar to that of a sintered powder with a fine grain size and elongation similar to that of a sintered powder with a coarse grain size at the same time. In this study, the tensile properties, microstructure, and stretch-flangeability of harmonic structure SUS304L made using powder metallurgy are investigated to check its suitability for automotive applications. The harmonic powders are made by mechanical milling and sintered using a spark plasma sintering method at 1173 K and a pressure of 50 MPa in a cylindrical die. The sintered powders of SUS304L having harmonic structure (harmonic SUS304L) exhibit excellent tensile properties compared with sintered powders of SUS304L having homogeneous microstructure. In addition, the harmonic SUS304L has excellent stretch-flangeability compared with commercial advanced high-strength steels (AHSSs) at a similar strength grade. Thus, the harmonic SUS304L is more suitable for automotive applications than conventional AHSSs because it exhibits both excellent tensile properties and stretch-flangeability.

Recently, improvement in the conversion efficiency of silicon-based solar cells has been achieved by decreasing emitter doping concentration, because the lightly doped emitter can effectively prevent the recombination of electrons and holes generated by solar light irradiation. This type of emitter is very thin due to the low doping concentration, thus conductive materials (i.e., silver) used for front electrodes can easily penetrate the emitter during a firing process because of their large diffusivity in silicon. This results in junction leakage currents which might reduce cell efficiencies. In this study, $Al_2O_3$-coated Ag powders were synthesized by an ultrasonic spray pyrolysis method and applied to the conductive materials of the front electrode to control the junction leakage current. The $Al_2O_3$ shell obstructs the Ag diffusion into the emitter during the firing process. The powder is spherical with a core-shell structure and the thickness of the $Al_2O_3$ shell is tens of nanometers. Solar cells were fabricated using pure Ag powders or the $Al_2O_3$-coated Ag powder as front electrode materials, and the conversion efficiency and junction leakage current were compared to investigate the role of the $Al_2O_3$ shell during the firing processes.

Nanodiamond (ND) is composed of inner diamond core and outer graphite shell. The size of ND used in this study was about 5 nm. The ND solution was dropped on silicon substrate and dried in air. Dried ND sample was purified by using annealing method in air. Then, 40 keV Fe ion was irradiated into the sample. The dose was varied from $1{\times}10^{14}$ to $1{\times}10^{16}ions/cm^2$. The post annealing was performed at 1073 K in the vacuum to recover diamond structure. The annealing at 873 K in air was performed to remove the outer graphite shell. The structure of ND was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and Raman spectroscopy. We will present the detailed data and results in the conference.

The numerical thermal frequency responses of the skew sandwich shell panels structure are investigated via a higher-order polynomial shear deformation theory including the thickness stretching effect. A customized MATLAB code is developed using the current mathematical model for the computational purpose. The finite element solution accuracy and consistency have been checked via solving different kinds of numerical benchmark examples taken from the literature. After confirming the standardization of the model, it is further extended to show the effect of different important geometrical parameters such as span-to-thickness ratios, aspect ratios, curvature ratios, core-to-face thickness ratios, skew angles, and support conditions on the frequencies of the sandwich composite flat/curved panel structure under elevated temperature environment.

Electrohydrodynamics is a good approach to produce uniform-sized colloids and fibers in a continuous process. The dimension can be controlled from tens of nanometers to a few micrometers. The structure of the colloids and nanofibers from electrohydrodynamics has been diversified according to the uses. Especially, core-shell structure and hybridization with functional nanomaterials are fascinating due to their possible uses in drug-delivery systems, multifunctional scaffolds, organic/inorganic hybrids with new functions, and highly sensitive gas- or bio-sensors. This talk will present the structural variations in the colloids and fibers by simply employing phase separation during electrohydrodynamic process and demonstrate their possible applications.

A simple and effective method is introduced to synthesize a series of polystyrene-b-poly(oligo(ethylene oxide) monomethyl ether methacrylate)-b-polystyrene (PSt-b-POEOMA-b-PSt) triblock copolymers. The structures of PSt-b-POEOMA-b-PSt copolymers were characterized by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and nuclear magnetic resonance ($^1H$ NMR) spectroscopy. The molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of the copolymer were measured by gel permeation chromatography (GPC). Furthermore, the self-assembling and drug-loaded behaviours of three different ratios of PSt-b-POEOMA-b-PSt were studied. These copolymers could readily self-assemble into micelles in aqueous solution. The vitamin E-loaded copolymer micelles were produced by the dialysis method. The micelle size and core-shell structure of the block copolymer micelles and the drug-loaded micelles were confirmed by dynamic light scattering (DLS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The thermal properties of the copolymer micelles before and after drug-loaded were investigated by different scanning calorimetry (DSC). The results show that the micelle size is slightly increased with increasing the content of hydrophobic segments and the micelles are still core-shell spherical structures after drug-loaded. Moreover, the glass transition temperature (Tg) of polystyrene is reduced after the drug loaded. The drug loading content (DLC) of the copolymer micelles is 70%-80% by ultraviolet (UV) photolithography analysis. These properties indicate the micelles self-assembled from PSt-b-POEOMA-b-PSt copolymers would have potential as carriers for the encapsulation of hydrophobic drugs.
