The inner crack-like pore with controlled amount of Ca impurity in the high purity alumina single crystal sapphire had been created by micro-fabrication technique which includes ion implanation photo-lithography Ar ion milling and hot press technique. The crack-like pores in two-hour hot pressed specimen were extremely stable even after heat treating at 1,80$0^{\circ}C$ for 5 hours almost no healing was observed. But the crack-like pores in one-hour hot pressed specimen at 1,30$0^{\circ}C$ were healed by heat treatment and the amount of healing was increased with the heat treatment time and temperature and the amount of Ca addition. The edges of crack-like pore parallel to <1100> direction in (001) basal plane were stable but the edges normal to this direction in (00101) plane <1120> direction were unstable to facetting This means that the surface energy of alumina along the <1100> direction in (0001) basal plane in much lower than <1120> direction.

We present a simple and an inexpensive method for the fabrication of a nano-fluidic filter and a nano-pore micromixer using self-assembly of nano-spheres and surface tension. Colloid-plug was formed by surface tension of liquid in a microchannel to fabricate nanofluidic filter. When colloid is evaporated, nano-spheres in a colloid are orderly stacked by a capillary force. Orderly stacked nano-spheres form 3-D nano-mesh which can be used as a mesh structure of a fluidic filter. We used silica nano-sphere whose diameter is $567{\pm}85nm$, and silicon micro-channel of $50{\mu}m$-diameter. Fabricated nano-fluidic filter in a micro-channel has median pore diameter of 158nm which was in agreement with expected diameter of the nano-pore of $128{\pm}19nm$. A nano-pore micromixer consists of $200\;{\mu}m-wide,\;100\;{\mu}m-deep$ micro-channel and self-assembled nano-spheres. In the nano-pore micromixer, two different fluids had no sooner met together than two fluids begin to mix at wide region. From the experimental study, we completely apply self-assembly of nano-spheres to nano-fluidic devices.

한정된 미세공간에서의 제한확산(hindered diffusion)은 멤브레인 기공(pore)에서 입자들의 운동에 의해 결정되는 여과 메카니즘을 매우 미세한 수준에서 이해하는데 중요한 현상이다. 구형(spherical) 콜로이드 입자에 비해 보다 복잡한 형태(conformation)인 고분자사슬 구조를 갖는 다가전해질(polyelectrolyte)의 제한확산 거동에는 다양한 인자들이 관련되어 있기 때문에, 이론 접근은 물론 실험적 접근도 한층 어려운 것이 사실이다. 본 연구에서는, 슬릿형 미세기공에 한정되어 있는 단일한 다가전해질(single polyelectrolyte)에 coarse-grained bead spring model과 먼거리(long-range) 정전상호작용(electrostatic interaction)인 Debye-Huckel potential을 적용하여 분자시뮬레이션 기법인 브라운 동력학 모사를 수행하였다. 기공과 다가전해질 사슬(Polyelectrolyte chain)의 주어진 크기에서, 용액의 전해질 이온농도가 감소함에 따른 사슬의 신장(extension)효과는 제한확산계수를 감소시켰고, 기공 벽면의 하전성은 제한확산계수를 더욱 감소시켰다. 이는, 다가전해질 사슬(polyelectrolyte chain)의 입체적 장애(steric hindrance)와 함께 정전반발력이 미세기공에서의 확산이동을 억제함을 의미한다.

Objectives: This study aimed to compare and evaluate the porosity and pore size distribution of high-viscosity glass ionomer cements (HVGICs) and conventional glass ionomer cements (GICs) using micro-computed tomography (micro-CT). Materials and Methods: Forty cylindrical specimens (n = 10) were produced in standardized molds using HVGICs and conventional GICs (Ketac Molar Easymix, Vitro Molar, MaxxionR, and Riva Self-Cure). The specimens were prepared according to ISO 9917-1 standards, scanned in a high-energy micro-CT device, and reconstructed using specific parameters. After reconstruction, segmentation procedures, and image analysis, total porosity and pore size distribution were obtained for specimens in each group. After checking the normality of the data distribution, the Kruskal-Wallis test followed by the Student-Newman-Keuls test was used to detect differences in porosity among the experimental groups with a 5% significance level. Results: Ketac Molar Easymix showed statistically significantly lower total porosity (0.15%) than MaxxionR (0.62%), Riva (0.42%), and Vitro Molar (0.57%). The pore size in all experimental cements was within the small-size range (< 0.01 mm³), but Vitro Molar showed statistically significantly more pores/defects with a larger size (> 0.01 mm³). Conclusions: Major differences in porosity and pore size were identified among the evaluated GICs. Among these, the Ketac Molar Easymix HVGIC showed the lowest porosity and void size.

X-ray micro-CT를 이용한 지반재료 내부 미세구조 및 공극구조의 정밀한 이미지 처리는 종종 이미지 내에 원천적으로 포함되는 화상결함으로 인해 제약된다. 본 논문에서는 X-ray micro-CT 이미지에 가장 일반적으로 나타나는 화상결함인 패임(영상 외곽과 중심부의 명암 차이) 및 동심원상(영상 중심으로부터 방사방향으로 연속적으로 나타나는 원)을 제거할 수 있는 이미지 보정 기법을 제시한다. 결함 제거는 좌표 변환법, 정규화 및 2차원 푸리에 변환에 의한 저역 통과 필터링 기법의 순차적 적용을 통해 이루어진다. 이미지 처리 기법의 효과를 다공성 현무암의 CT 이미지에서 화상결함들을 제거하고 이진화 후 적층하여 3차원 공극 구조를 추출하는 과정을 통해 설명하였다. 패임 및 동심원상 결함을 제거한 이미지와 원본 이미지의 비교 결과 결함 제거는 대상 재료 공극률의 과대평가를 방지할 수 있으며, 따라서 화상결함의 적절한 보정은 X-ray CT의 지반재료 적용 시 필수적인 과정으로 판단된다.

무질서하고 불균질한 형상을 갖는 지반 재료 내 간극 구조는 하중에 의한 재료의 변형 및 간극 내 유체의 흐름 등 물리 역학적 거동에 중요한 영향 인자이다. 최근 들어 X-ray CT에 의한 비파괴 검사를 통해 지반 재료의 내부 구조를 마이크로미터 단위의 높은 해상도를 통해 평가하는 기법이 사용되고 있다. CT 이미지는 재료의 많은 정보를 포함하고 있음에도 그에 따른 이미지 해석 기법의 개발이 다소 미흡하여 2, 3차원 이미지의 정성적 관찰 및 간극비와 같은 거시적인 물성치 획득만이 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 연속적으로 획득된 글라스 비드의 2차원 CT 이미지에 기반하여 3차원 입자 및 간극 구조를 형성하고, 복잡한 간극구조를 간극셀과 간극채널로 정량적 분리를 실시하였다. 이를 위해 좌표 변환법, 이진화, 들로네 삼각망, 그리고 유클리디안 거리변환법과 같은 이미지 프로세싱 기법을 3차원 CT 이미지에 적용하였고 불균질한 글라스 비드의 간극구조에 대해 정량적으로 간극셀의 분포 및 간극간의 연결도 평가가 가능함을 확인하였다.

This paper investigated computationally and experimentally the interaction here between a notch as well as a micropore under uniaxial compression. Brazilian tensile strength, uniaxial tensile strength, as well as biaxial tensile strength are used to calibrate PFC2d at first. Then, uniaxial compression test was conducted which they included internal notch and micro pore. Experimental and numerical building of 9 models including notch and micro pore were conducted. Model dimensions of models are 10 cm × 10 cm × 5 cm. Joint length was 2 cm. Joints angles were 30°, 45° and 60°. The position of micro pore for all joint angles was 2cm upper than top of the joint, 2 cm upper than middle of joint and 2 cm upper than the joint lower tip, discreetly. The numerical model's dimensions were 5.4 cm × 10.8 cm. The fractures were 2 cm in length and had angularities of 30, 45, and 60 degrees. The pore had a diameter of 1 cm and was located at the top of the notch, 2 cm above the top, 2 cm above the middle, and 2 cm above the bottom tip of the joint. The uniaxial compression strength of the model material was 10 MPa. The local damping ratio was 0.7. At 0.016 mm per second, it loaded. The results show that failure pattern affects uniaxial compressive strength whereas notch orientation and pore condition impact failure pattern. From the notch tips, a two-wing fracture spreads almost parallel to the usual load until it unites with the sample edge. Additionally, two wing fractures start at the hole. Both of these cracks join the sample edge and one of them joins the notch. The number of wing cracks increased as the joint angle rose. There aren't many AE effects in the early phases of loading, but they quickly build up until the applied stress reaches its maximum. Each stress decrease was also followed by several AE effects. By raising the joint angularities from 30° to 60°, uniaxial strength was reduced. The failure strengths in both the numerical simulation and the actual test are quite similar.

Dehydration and micro crack thermal expansion occur in cement hydrates of concrete structure heated by fire for a long time. The characteristic of concrete exposed to high temperature can be analyzed from distribution of porosity and pore size. Porosity showed a tendency to increase irrespective of specimen types. This is due to both the outbreak of collapse of gel comprising the cement and a micro crack by heating. Porosity did not affect the variety of specimen and increased with the same tendency throughout every specimen. In addition, the deteriorate of compressive strength resulted from increase in porosity

Factors causing deterioration of concrete structures under marine environment are various, especially penetration and diffusion of chloride ion, carbon dioxide, and water through pore effects on the durability of concrete as well as mechanical properties of concrete. Pore of porous materials like concrete can be classified as micro-, meso-, and macro-pore. And pore of cement matrix is classified as pore which occupied by water, air void, and ITZ between cement paste and aggregates. In this study, to verify the relationship between pore of cement matrix and the property of chloride ion diffusivity, the regression analysis is producted. From the result of regression analysis, the average pore diameter more than total pore volume effects on the diffusivity of chloride ion.
