In this paper the intrinsic influence of micron-sized nickel particle reinforcements on microstructure, micro-hardness tensile properties and tensile fracture behavior of nano-alumina particle reinforced magnesium alloy AZ31 composite is presented and discussed. The unreinforced magnesium alloy (AZ31) and the reinforced nanocomposite counterpart (AZ31/1.5 vol.% $Al_2O_3$/1.5 vol.% Ni] were manufactured by solidification processing followed by hot extrusion. The elastic modulus and yield strength of the nickel particle-reinforced magnesium alloy nano-composite was higher than both the unreinforced magnesium alloy and the unreinforced magnesium alloy nanocomposite (AZ31/1.5 vol.% $Al_2O_3$). The ultimate tensile strength of the nickel particle reinforced composite was noticeably lower than both the unreinforced nano-composite and the monolithic alloy (AZ31). The ductility, quantified by elongation-to-failure, of the reinforced nanocomposite was noticeably higher than both the unreinforced nano-composite and the monolithic alloy. Tensile fracture behavior of this novel material was essentially normal to the far-field stress axis and revealed microscopic features reminiscent of the occurrence of locally ductile failure mechanisms at the fine microscopic level.

Background: Bone grafting has been considered the gold standard for hard tissue reconstructive surgery and is widely used for large mandibular defect reconstruction. However, the midface encompasses delicate structures that are surrounded by a complex bone architecture, which makes bone grafting using traditional methods very challenging. Three-dimensional (3D) bioprinting is a developing technology that is derived from the evolution of additive manufacturing. It enables precise development of a scaffold from different available biomaterials that mimic the shape, size, and dimension of a defect without relying only on the surgeon's skills and capabilities, and subsequently, may enhance surgical outcomes and, in turn, patient satisfaction and quality of life. Review: This review summarizes different biomaterial classes that can be used in 3D bioprinters as bioinks to fabricate bone scaffolds, including polymers, bioceramics, and composites. It also describes the advantages and limitations of the three currently used 3D bioprinting technologies: inkjet bioprinting, micro-extrusion, and laserassisted bioprinting. Conclusions: Although 3D bioprinting technology is still in its infancy and requires further development and optimization both in biomaterials and techniques, it offers great promise and potential for facial reconstruction with improved outcome.

이 연구는 변형률 경화거동을 나타내기 위한 압출성형된 ECC를 제조하기 위하여 사용되는 조성물의 특성, 제조 방식, 배합 조건, 양생 조건에 관한 검토를 수행하였으며, 섬유의 분포 특성이 압출성형 ECC의 휨거동에 미치는 영향을 파악하고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 이론적/실험적 연구를 수행하여 압출성형 ECC를 생산하기 위한 기본 배합 및 제조 공정을 제시하였으며, 이미지 프로세싱 기법을 이용하여 섬유 분포 특성을 파악하였다. 실험 결과, 최적의 압출성형 ECC 패널의 배합비를 물-매트릭스 비, 시멘트, ECC 파우더, 그리고 규사미분의 비율로 제시하였다. 또한 섬유 분포 특성은 배합에 따라 달라지며 이러한 섬유 분포 특성에 따라 휨거동에 차이가 발생하는 것으로 나타났다. 즉, 섬유 분산성이 좋을수록, 상보에너지($J_b'$)와 최고 가교 응력(${\sigma}_0$)이 클수록 휨 인성이 크게 나타났다. 이는 ECC 배합의 차이가 섬유 분포 특성에 차이를 줄 뿐만 아니라, 마이크로역학 특성에도 변화를 주기 때문이다. 섬유 방향성의 경우, 실험체 별로 크게 차이가 발생하지 않았으나 섬유의 분포가 3차원보다 2차원에 가깝게 배열되는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 섬유 방향성에 대한 확률 밀도 함수는 2차원으로 가정한 경우와 매우 다른 양상을 보이는 것으로 나타났다. 따라서 원하는 성능(초기균열 강도 및 인성)을 얻기 위해서는 배합과 섬유 분포 특성을 고려하여야 하는 것으로 나타났다.

급냉응고법과 기계적합금화를 병행하여 자동차 산업용 부품에 널리 사용되고 있는 AC4A 합금에 열적으로 안정한 $SiC_p$세라믹 입자를 첨가하여 가공경화 및 미세균일화에 의한 분산강호 효과를 갖는 복합재료를 제조하고, 그에 따른 기계적특성을 조사하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 420분간 기계적합금화를 시켰을 때 10~20$\mu \textrm{m}$ 정도의 미세하고 균일한 구형의 복합분말을 얻을수 있었으며, 이 상태에서 정상상태를 의미하는 포화 경도값이 나타났다. 기계적합금화에 따른 분말의 X-선 회절시험에서 기계적 합금화 시간에 따라 결정립 미세화와 불균일 변형에 의해 강도가 떨어지고, 회절폭이 넓어진다. 분말 압출재의 시효경화는 1000분 시효에서 최대 경도값을 나타낸다. 인장시험에 있어서 압출재는 주조재에 비해 2배 이상의 인장값을 얻을 수 있었으며, $500^{\circ}C$에서도 우수한 인장값을 얻을 수 있었다.

Nanostructured high strength metastable Al-, Mg- and Ti-based alloys containing different amorphous, quasicrystalline and nanocrystalline phases are synthesized by non-equilibrium processing techniques. Such alloys can be prepared by quenching from the melt or by powder metallurgy techniques. This paper focuses on one hand on mechanically alloyed and ball milled powders containing different volume fractions of amorphous or nano-(quasi)crystalline phases, consolidated bulk specimens and, on the other hand. on cast specimens containing different constituent phases with different length-scale. As one example. $Mg_{55}Y_{15}Cu_{30}$- based metallic glass matrix composites are produced by mechanical alloying of elemental powder mixtures containing up to 30 vol.% $Y_2O_3$ particles. The comparison with the particle-free metallic glass reveals that the nanosized second phase oxide particles do not significantly affect the glass-forming ability upon mechanical alloying despite some limited particle dissolution. A supercooled liquid region with an extension of about 50 K can be maintained in the presence of the oxides. The distinct viscosity decrease in the supercooled liquid regime allows to consolidate the powders into bulk samples by uniaxial hot pressing. The $Y_2O_3$ additions increase the mechanical strength of the composites compared to the $Mg_{55}Y_{15}Cu_{30}$ metallic glass. The second example deals with Al-Mn-Ce and Al-Cu-Fe composites with quasicrystalline particles as reinforcements, which are prepared by quenching from the melt and by powder metallurgy. $Al_{98-x}Mn_xCe_2$ (x =5,6,7) melt-spun ribbons containing a major quasicrystalline phase coexisting with an Al-matrix on a nanometer scale are pulverized by ball milling. The powders are consolidated by hot extrusion. Grain growth during consolidation causes the formation of a micrometer-scale microstructure. Mechanical alloying of $Al_{63}Cu_{25}Fe_{12}$ leads to single-phase quasicrystalline powders. which are blended with different volume fractions of pure Al-powder and hot extruded forming $Al_{100-x}$$(Al_{0.63}Cu_{0.25}Fe_{0.12})_x$ (x = 40,50,60,80) micrometer-scale composites. Compression test data reveal a high yield strength of ${\sigma}_y{\geq}$700 MPa and a ductility of ${\varepsilon}_{pl}{\geq}$5% for than the Al-Mn-Ce bulk samples. The strength level of the Al-Cu-Fe alloys is ${\sigma}_y{\leq}$550 MPa significantly lower. By the addition of different amounts of aluminum, the mechanical properties can be tuned to a wide range. Finally, a bulk metallic glass-forming Ti-Cu-Ni-Sn alloy with in situ formed composite microstructure prepared by both centrifugal and injection casting presents more than 6% plastic strain under compressive stress at room temperature. The in situ formed composite contains dendritic hcp Ti solid solution precipitates and a few $Ti_3Sn,\;{\beta}$-(Cu, Sn) grains dispersed in a glassy matrix. The composite micro- structure can avoid the development of the highly localized shear bands typical for the room temperature defor-mation of monolithic glasses. Instead, widely developed shear bands with evident protuberance are observed. resulting in significant yielding and homogeneous plastic deformation over the entire sample.

생균력 안정성이 보장되고 품질이 규격화된 농용 미생물제공급을 위하여 캡슐형 미생물제의 캡슐화 소재로 열수 추출법과 알칼리 추출법을 이용하여 다시마로부터 Na-alginate를 직접 추출하여 겔 형성능과 생균력을 검토하였다. 열수추출 alginate(HWEA)의 경우 5%의 고농도에서 겔 형성이 성공적으로 이루어진데 반해 알칼리추출 alginate(ASA)는 3% 농도에서 $992.1\;{\pm}\;0.2\;g/cm^2$의 강한 겔이 형성되는 특성을 보여 시판되고 있는 alginate(CA) 1.5% 농도의 겔과 유사한 겔 형성능을 나타내었다. 또한 ASA의 경우 추출 수율이 20%로 HWEA 보다 2배 이상 높게 나타났으며 현재 시판되고 있는 Na-alginate(CA)에 비해 비용이 11배 이상 저렴한 것으로 산출되었다. 이상의 결과로부터 ASA를 사용할 경우 값싼 비용으로 추출이 용이하며 저농도에서 겔형성능이 우수하여 최적의 농용 미생물 캡슐소재로 평가되었다. ASA 캡슐제의 생균력을 조사한 결과 81%의 생균력을 나타내어 고가의 CA 캡슐제와 동일한 생균력을 보장 할 수 있음이 입증되었다. 미세 캡슐 내 미생물 생존력을 보다 안정적으로 유지하기 위해 캡슐막의 효과를 나타낼 수 있는 보조제로 starch와 zeolite를 이용하여 생균력 증진효과를 검토한 결과 단일소재 ASA만으로 제조된 캡슐제보다 보조제를 혼합한 캡슐제 경우 세균과 효모는 생균수가 크게 증가되는 효과를 볼 수 있었다. 미생물 혼합 배양액과 상기의 최적 복합 캡슐소재를 혼합하여 캡슐화한 미생물제의 생균력을 측정한 결과 세균은 93%의 높은 생균력을 나타내었고 유산균과 효모의 경우 70% 이상의 생균력을 나타내어 본 연구를 통해 다시마로부터 직접 추출한 ASA가 고가의 시판품 alginate를 대체할 수 있는 농용 미생물 캡슐화 소재로 이용가능할 것으로 판단되었다.

Background: Extrusion of debris is a major factor that results in postoperative pain during root canal treatment with various instruments and instrumentation techniques. Therefore, instrumentation techniques that extrude minimal debris into the periapical area while reducing pain are desirable. This study aimed to compare the incidence of postoperative pain and intake of analgesic medication (frequency and quantity) after endodontic treatment of mandibular posterior teeth using two single files and full-sequence continuous rotary systems with different kinematic motions. Methods: Thirty-five of 105 patients were assigned equally to three groups according to the instrumentation system used: ProTaper Next (PN) X2, 25/06 (Dentsply, Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland), One Shape (OS), #0.25/06 (Micro Mega, Besancon, France), and Wave One Gold (WG), Red - #0.25, 0.07 (Dentsply, Maillefer, Ballaigues, Switzerland). Five specialists were included in this study design; each professional prepared 21 teeth, and randomly selected 7 per instrument system. The VAS sheet ranging from 0 to 10 was used to record the initial and postoperative pains at 24, 48, and 72 h, and 7^th day after single visit endodontic treatment in mandibular premolars and molars with a diagnosis of asymptomatic irreversible pulpitis with or without apical periodontitis. Postoperatively, an analgesic, ibuprofen 400 mg was administered for intolerable pain at a dose of 1 tablet for 6 h. The patients were asked over the telephone regarding postoperative pain at intervals of 24, 48, and 72 h, and 7^th day using a visual analogue scale. Result: There were no statistically significant differences among the PN, OS, and WG systems (P > 0.05) with regard to the incidence of postoperative pain at any of the four time points assessed. Conclusion: The intensity of postoperative pain, frequency, and analgesic intake were similar across all three types of instrument systems; however, the reciprocating single file (WG) was associated with less postoperative pain than the full sequence continuous rotary file.
