우수한 전기화학적 특성을 갖는 $LiN_{0.8}Co_{0.2}O_2$ 정극 활물질을 평균 $1{\mu}m$ 이하의 균일한 입자 분포를 얻을 수 있는 액상 반응법의 하나인 졸겔법을 이용하여 제조하였다. 제조된 $LiN_{0.8}Co_{0.2}O_2$를 X선 회절과 TEM(transmission electron microscopy)분석을 통하여 미세구조를 분석하였다. 충방전 실험전과 실험후의 미세구조의 변화에 중점을 주어 실험하였으며, 그 결과 졸겔법으로 제조된$LiN_{0.8}Co_{0.2}O_2$ 정극 활물질은 높은 가역 용량을 가지며 뛰어난 싸이클 특성을 가지고 있다 이는 졸겔법으로 제소함으로 인하여 Ni과 Co양이온의 균일한 화학조성을 가지고 있기 때문이라 생각된다. 특히 $LiCoO_2$에서 관찰되었던 cubic spinel disordering과 심각한 구조적 결함이 관찰되지 않았다. 또한 Al 치환으로 인하여 싸이클 특성을 좋아졌지만 용량은 감소하였다.

나노 $Y_2O_3-CeO_2$ 시스템의 분산안정성을 콜로이드 계면화학을 이용하여 조사하였다. 수계 슬립캐스팅으로 $Y_2O_3$가 첨가된 $CeO_2$의 성형체를 제조하였다. 분말과 유기첨가물 사이의 서스펜션의 분산안정성은 ESA를 이용한 서스펜션의 전기영동학적인 거동을 통하여 구하였다. 입자들의 이동도는 음이온계 분산제 1wt% 첨가 시 가장 크게 향상되었다. 산성영역에서의 $Y^{3+}$ 이온의 해리로 인해 슬러리의 수소이온 농도는 pH 7.0 이하로 내려가지 않았다. $Y_2O_3-CeO_2$ 시스템에서 서스펜션의 최적 조건은 음이온계 분산제를 1wt% 첨가하고 pH를 11.0으로 고정하는 것이고, 슬립캐스팅하여 1400$^{\circ}$C에서 2시간 소결하였다. 소결체는 98% 이상의 상대밀도를 나타내었으며, 표면 미세구조에서뿐만 아니라 단면의 깊이 방향에서도 Y원소의 분포가 균일하였다.

The 30 nm-thick Ni layers was deposited on a flexible polyimide substrate with an e-beam evaporation. Subsequently, we deposited a Si layer using a catalytic CVD (Cat-CVD) in a hydride amorphous silicon (${\alpha}$-Si:H) process of $T_{s}=180^{\circ}C$ with varying thicknesses of 55, 75, 145, and 220 nm. The sheet resistance, phase, degree of the crystallization, microstructure, composition, and surface roughness were measured by a four-point probe, HRXRD, micro-Raman spectroscopy, FE-SEM, TEM, AES, and SPM. We confirmed that our newly proposed Cat-CVD process simultaneously formed both NiSi and crystallized Si without additional annealing. The NiSi showed low sheet resistance of < $13{\Omega}$□, while carbon (C) diffused from the substrate led the resistance fluctuation with silicon deposition thickness. HRXRD and micro-Raman analysis also supported the existence of NiSi and crystallized (>66%) Si layers. TEM analysis showed uniform NiSi and silicon layers, and the thickness of the NiSi increased as Si deposition time increased. Based on the AES depth profiling, we confirmed that the carbon from the polyimide substrate diffused into the NiSi and Si layers during the Cat-CVD, which caused a pile-up of C at the interface. This carbon diffusion might lessen NiSi formation and increase the resistance of the NiSi.

Porous SiC candle filter preforms were fabricated by extrusion and ramming process. To fabricate SiC candle filter preform, commercially available 85 ${\mu}m\;{\alpha}-$-SiC powder and 44 ${\mu}m$ mullite, CaC$O_3$ powder were used as the starting materials. The candle type preforms were fabricated by vacuum extrusion and ramming process, and sintered at $1400{^{\circ}C}$ 2 h in air atmosphere. The effect of forming method on porosity, density, strength (flexural and compressive strength) and microstructure was investigated. Also, corrosion test of the sintered candle filter specimens as forming method was performed at $600{^{\circ}C}$ in IGCC syngas atmosphere. The sintered SiC filter which was formed by ramming process has more higher density and exhibit higher strength than extruded filter. Its maximum density and 3-point bending strength were 2.00 g/$cm^3$ and 45 MPa, respectively.

In this work a multi-layered nanostructured TiAIN/CrN superlattice coatings was synthesized using closed-field unbalanced magnetron sputtering method and the relationships between their superlattice period (1), micro-structure, hardness and elastic modulus were investigated. In addition, wear test at $500^{\circ}C$ and oxidation resistance test at $900^{\circ}C$ were performed to investigate high temperature properties of these thin films. The coatings were characterized in terms of microstructure and mechanical properties by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and nano-indentation test. Results from TEM analysis showed that superlattice periods was inversely proportional to the jig rotation speed. The maximum hardness and elastic modulus of 37 GPa and 375 GPa were observed at superalttice period of 6.1 nm and 4.4 nm, respectively. An higher value of microhardness from TiAIN/CrN thin films than either TiAIN (30 GPa) or CrN (26 GPa) was noted while the elastic modulus was approximately an average of TiAIN and CrN films. These enhancement effects in superlattice films could be attributed to the resistance to dislocation glide across interface between the CrN and TiAIN layers. Much improved plastic deformation resistance ($H^3/E^2$) of 0.36 from TiAIN/CrN coatings was observed, compared with 0.15 and 0.16 from TiAIN and CrN, respectively. Also the wear resistance at $500^{\circ}C$ was largely increased than those of single TiAIN and CrN coatings and TiAIN/CrN coatings showed much reduced weight gain after exposure at $900^{\circ}C$ for 20 hours.

In this study, we investigate the effect of high-energy ball milling on thermoelectric transport properties in double-filled $CoSb_3$ skutterudite ($In_{0.2}Yb_{0.1}Co_4Sb_{12}$). $In_{0.2}Yb_{0.1}Co_4Sb_{12}$ powders are milled using high-energy ball milling for different periods of time (0, 5, 10, and 20 min), and the milled powders are consolidated into bulk samples by spark plasma sintering. Microstructure analysis shows that the high-energy ball milled bulk samples are composed of nano- and micro-grains. Because the filling fractions are reduced in the bulk samples due to the kinetic energy of the high-energy ball milling, the carrier concentration of the bulk samples decreases with the ball milling time. Furthermore, the mobility of the bulk samples also decreases with the ball milling time due to enhanced grain boundary scattering of electrons. Reduction of electrical conductivity by ball milling has a decisive effect on thermoelectric transport in the bulk samples, power factor decreases with the ball milling time.

This research is devoted to study post-buckling analysis of functionally graded carbon nanotubes reinforced composite (FG-CNTRC) micro plate with cut out subjected to magnetic field and resting on elastic medium. The basic formulation of plate is based on first order shear deformation theory (FSDT) and the material properties of FG-CNTRCs are presumed to be changed through the thickness direction, and are assumed based on rule of mixture; moreover, nonlocal Eringen's theory is applied to consider the size-dependent effect. It is considered that the system is embedded in elastic medium and subjected to longitudinal magnetic field. Energy approach, domain decomposition and Rayleigh-Ritz methods in conjunction with Newton-Raphson iterative technique are employed to trace the post-buckling paths of FG-CNTRC micro cut out plate. The influence of some important parameters such as small scale effect, cut out dimension, different types of FG distributions of CNTs, volume fraction of CNTs, aspect ratio of plate, magnitude of magnetic field, elastic medium and biaxial load on the post-buckling behavior of system are calculated. With respect to results, it is concluded that the aspect ratio and length of square cut out have negative effect on post-buckling response of micro composite plate. Furthermore, existence of CNTs in system causes improvement in the post-buckling behavior of plate and different distributions of CNTs in plate have diverse response. Meanwhile, nonlocal parameter and biaxial compression load on the plate has negative effect on post-buckling response. In addition, imposing magnetic field increases the post-buckling load of the microstructure.

본 연구는 수십 마이크로미터 크기의 임의의 3차원 형상제작을 위한 이광자 광중합에 의한 나노 입체 리소그래피(nano-stereolithography) 공정개발에 관한 것이다. 본 연구에서 제안한 공정은 3차원 CAD 파일을 이용하여 형상의 윤곽선을 고화시켜서 연속적으로 적층하여 구조물을 제작하는 공정으로 기존의 리소그래피 공정과 달리 복잡한 형상제작이 가능하다. 형상제작은 펨토초 레이저를 이용하여 이광자 흡수 색소가 첨가된 아크릴레이트 계열의 단량체에 이광자 중합반응으로 제작하였으며 선 폭 정밀도는 150 nm수준이었다. 이광자 광중합법으로 윤곽선을 고화시켜 쉘(shell) 형태로 3차원 형상을 제작할 때에는 기계적 강성이 약하여 고화 후에 용매로 중합반응이 일어나지 않는 부분을 제거할 때 변형이 쉽게 발생하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 문제점을 해결하고자 윤곽 쉘 두께를 증가시켜 윤곽선을 중첩으로 제작하는 이중 윤곽선 스캐닝 방법(double contour scanning)을 시도하였으며 이를 통하여 제작된 형상의 강도가 향상됨을 확인할 수 있었다.

Despite having many attractive properties, $ZrO_2$ ceramic has a low fracture toughness which limits its wide application. One of the most obvious tactics to improve its mechanical properties has been to add a reinforcing agent to formulate a nanostructured composite material. Nanopowders of $ZrO_2$ and Cr were synthesized from $CrO_3$ and Zr powder by high energy ball milling for 10 h. Dense nanocrystalline $2/3Cr-ZrO_2$ composite was consolidated by a high-frequency induction heated sintering method within 5 min at $600^{\circ}C$ from mechanically synthesized powder. The method was found to enable not only rapid densification but also the inhibition of grain growth, preserving the nano-scale microstructure. Highly dense $2/3Cr-ZrO_2$ composite with relative density of up to 99.5% was produced under simultaneous application of a 1 GPa pressure and the induced current. The hardness and fracture toughness of the composite were 534 kg/mm2 and $7MPa{\cdot}m1/2$, respectively. The composite was determined to have good biocompatibility.

The incorporation of 90 nm alumina particles into an epoxy matrix to form a composite microstructure is described in present study. It is shown that the use of ultrafine particles results in a substantial change in the behavior of the composite, which can be traced to the mitigation of internal charges when a comparison is made with conventional $Al_2O_3$ fillers. A variety of diagnostic techniques have been used to augment pulsed electro-acoustic space charge measurement to provide a basis for understanding the underlying physics of the phenomenon. It would appear that, when the size of the inclusions becomes small enough, they act cooperatively with the host structure and cease to exhibit interfacial properties. It is postulated that the $Al_2O_3$ particles are surrounded by high charge concentrations. Since $Al_2O_3$ particles have very high specific areas, these regions allow limited charge percolation through $Al_2O_3$ filled dielectrics. The practical consequences of this have also been explored in terms of the electric strength exhibited. It would appear that there was a window in which real advantages accumulated from the nano-formulated material. An optimum filler loading of about 0.5 wt.% was indicated.
