PURPOSE. This study was performed to characterize the effects of zirconia coated with calcium phosphate and hydroxyapatite compared to smooth zirconia after bone marrow-derived osteoblast culture. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Bone marrow-derived osteoblasts were cultured on (1) smooth zirconia, (2) zirconia coated with calcium phosphate (CaP), and (3) zirconia coated with hydroxyapatite (HA). The tetrazolium-based colorimetric assay (MTT test) was used for cell proliferation evaluation. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and alkaline phosphatase (ALP) activity was measured to evaluate the cellular morphology and differentiation rate. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) was employed for the analysis of surface chemistry. The genetic expression of the osteoblasts and dissolution behavior of the coatings were observed. Assessment of the significance level of the differences between the groups was done with analysis of variance (ANOVA). RESULTS. From the MTT assay, no significant difference between smooth and surface coated zirconia was found (P>.05). From the SEM image, cells on all three groups of discs were sporadically triangular or spread out in shape with formation of filopodia. From the ALP activity assay, the optical density of osteoblasts on smooth zirconia discs was higher than that on surface treated zirconia discs (P>.05). Most of the genes related to cell adhesion showed similar expression level between smooth and surface treated zirconia. The dissolution rate was higher with CaP than HA coating. CONCLUSION. The attachment and growth behavior of bone-marrow-derived osteoblasts cultured on smooth surface coated zirconia showed comparable results. However, the HA coating showed more time-dependent stability compared to the CaP coating.

종자피복에 많이 사용되고 있는 접착제인 CFclear(CF), arabic gum(AG), cethylmethyl cellulose(UC), polyvinyl alcohol(PVA), polyvinyl pyrrolidone(PVP), hydroxy propyl cellulose(HPC), methyl cellulose(MC)와 고형물질로 bentonite(B), kaolin(K), calcium carbonate(CC), peatmoss(PM), talcum(T), vermiculite(V), zeolite(Z), calcium hydroxide(CH), plaster(PT), calcium phosphate((PP)를 공시하여 제조한 피복종자의 품질과 물리적인 특성을 평가하였다. Red clover 종자는 CF나 PVA에서 회수된 단립 종자 무게가 높았으며, 충격에 의한 피복층의 탈락성은 AG, CF, PVA에서 제일 낮았다(P<0.01). 피복종자의 백립중은 CF 피복종자가 제일 무거웠다. Tall fescue종자는 CF에서 회수된 단립 종자 무게가 높았으며(P<0.01), 충격에 의한 피복층의 탈락성은 AG, CF, PVA에서 제일 낮았다(P<0.01). 피복종자의 백립중은 CF 피복종자가 제일 무거웠다. Red clover는 V나 V+T(1 : 1)로 피복된 종자에서 회수된 단립 피복종자 무게가 제일 높았으며 tall fescue에서는 V+T(1 : 1)로 피복된것이 제일 높았다(P<0.01). 접착제별 피복지수는 두 초종 공히 CF나 PVA로 피복한 종자가 여타 접착제로 피복한 것보다 유의하게 높았다 (P<0.01). 고형물질별 피복지수는 red clover는 V나 V+T(1 ： 1)로 피복한 종자에서 높았으며 tall fescue는 T, V, V + T(1 : 1로 피복한 종자)에서 가장 높게 나타났다(P<0.01). 종자피복에 있어서 red clover와 tall fescue 공히 접착제는 CF나 PVA로 하고 고형물질은 V나 V+T(1:1)로 피복함으로서 가장 좋은 피복효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

본 시험은 1997년 연암축산원예대학 부속실험목 장에서 석회, zeolite 및 rock phosphate의 조합비율과 피복 종자의 크기를 달리 하였을 때 목초의 발아 및 초기생육에 미치는 영향을 비교하기 위하여 수행되었다. 피복한 tall fescue 및 orchardgrass의 발아세 및 발아율은 피복하지 않은 종자에 비하여 낮았다. Tall fescue 피복종자의 발아율은 석 회 70 %와 rock phosphate 15% 처리구에서 가장 높았다. 그리고 피복종자의 크기는 소형 (직경 2 mm 이하)이 중형 (직경 2~3 mm)과 대형 (직경 3 mm 이상)에 비하여 발아율이 높게 나타났다. 한편 orchardgrass 피복종자의 발아율에 서는 석회 55%와 rock phosphate 30% 처리구가 다른 피복 처리구에 비하여 높았다. 한편 피복종자의 크기는 소형이 대형과 중형보다는 발아울이 높았다 (p<0.05). 피복한 alfalfa 및 bridsfoot trefoil 종자의 말아세 및 발아율은 피복하지 않은 종자에 비하여 낮았다 Alfalfa의 피복종자 중에서는 석회 70%와 rock phosphate 15% 및 석회 45%와 rock phosphate 55% 처리구가 다른 피복 종자보다 발아율이 높았다. 피복종자의 크기간에는 중형이 소형과 대형보 다 발아율이 높았다 (p<0.05). 한편 birdsfoot trefoil의 피복종자 중에서는 석회 45%와 rock phosphate 40% 처리구가 다른 피복종자에 비하여 발아세와 발아율이 높았다. 피복한 tall fescue 및 orchard grass의 정착률과 초기생 육은 유의적인 차이는 없었으나 피복처리구 중에서는 두 초종 모두 석회 45%와 rock phosphate 40% 처리구가 가장 높았다 (p<0.05). Alfalfa의 경우도 정착률과 초기생 육은 처리간에 유의적인 차이가 없었으나 피복처리구 중에서는 석회 75%와 rock phosphate 10% 처리구의 정착률과 초기생육이 각각 46.4% 및 $72.6\;g/\textrm{m}^2$으로 가장 높았다(p<0.05). Birdsfoot trefoil은 피복 처리구 중에서는 석회 55%와 rock phosphate 30% 처리구의 정착률과 초기생육이 각각 46.4% 및 $44.6\;g/\textrm{m}^2$으로 가장 높았다 (p<0.05) 이상의 연구결과를 종합해 볼 때 피복종자의 발아율은 초종 마다 약간의 차이가 있으나 rock phosphate를 증가 시키고 석회를 감소시킬 때 증가하며, 종자의 크기는 alfalfa를 제외하고는 소형종자 (직경 2 mm 이하)가 발아율이 높은 것으로 생각된다. 한편 정착률과 초기생육은 화본과 목초에서는 rock p phosphate를 중가 시키고 석회를 감소시킬 때 증가 할수 있다.

This review deals with one of the surface modification techniques, chemical conversion coating and particularly cerium-based conversion coatings (CeCC) as a promising substitute for chromium and phosphate conversion coating on magnesium and its alloys. The CeCCs are commonly considered environmentally friendly. The effects of surface preparation, coating thickness, bath composition, and e-paint on the corrosion behavior of CeCCs have been studied on the AZ31 magnesium alloy. This review also correlates the coating microstructural, morphological, and chemical characteristics with the processing parameters and corrosion protection. Results showed that the as-deposited coating system consists of a three layer structure (1) a nanocrystalline MgO transition layer in contact with the Mg substrate, (2) a nanocrystalline CeCC layer, and (3) an outer amorphous CeCC layer. The nanocrystalline CeCC layer thickness is a function of immersion time and cerium salt used. The overall corrosion protection was crucially dependent on the presence of coating defects. The corrosion resistance of AZ31 magnesium alloy was better for thinner CeCCs, which can be explained by the presence of fewer and smaller cracks. On the other hand, maximum corrosion protection was achieved when AZ31 magnesium samples with thin CeCCs are e-painted. The e-paint layer further restricts and hinders the movement of chloride and other aggressive ions present in the environment from reaching the magnesium surface.

Coatings of hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate/HA (TCP/HA) on titanium were fabricated by ion beam assisted deposition (IBAD). Significant effect of the Ca-P coatings on human Gingival Fibroblasts (HGFs) attachment and formation of type I collagen were found by using immunofluorescence microscope. TCP/HA and HA coatings exerted more HGFs attachment and collagen I formation. Comparing with HA coating, TCP/HA coating exhibited better responses during the late period of the tests. This investigation indicated that this surface modification method may enhance the biological seal at the cervical level of the titanium dental implants.

Seasonal changes have been recognized in particle characteristics and forming characteristics of iron powder with insulated coating for a compacted magnetic core because of its high hygroscopicity, due to its phosphate coating and resin binder additives. For this reason, particle characteristics and molding characteristics of the powder with diverse water absorbtivity have been studied. The result shows that the higher the volume of absorbed water, the worse the fluidity becomes, resulting in the reduction in both springback during the molding process and expansion reduction after the heat treatment. The requirement on dimension accuracy for the finished product can be satisfied with an additional drying process on the material powder, which contributes to maintain its water volume constant.

This study was performed to develop a useful nerve conduit which provides favorable environment for Schwann cell viability and proliferation. Milipore membrane of $0.45{\mu}m$ pore size was selected because it permits nutritional inflow from the outside of the conduit and prevents from invading the fibrotic tissue into the conduit. The membrane was rolled and sealed to form a conduit of 2mm diameter and 20mm length. To improve the axonal regeneration and to render better environment for endogenous and exogenous Schwann cell behaviour, the microgeometry and surface of conduit was modified by coating with thin film of calcium phosphate. Cellular viability within the conduit and attachment to its wall were assessed with MTT assay and SEM study. Milipore filter conduit showed significantly higher rate of Schwann cell attachment and viability than the culture dish. However, the reverse was true in case of fibroblast. Coating with thin film of low crystalline calcium phosphate made more favorable environment for both cells with minimal change of pore size. These findings means the porous calcium phosphate coated milipore nerve conduit can provide much favorable environment for endogenous Schwann cell proliferation and exogenous ones, which are filled within the conduit for the more advanced strategy of peripheral nerve regeneration, with potential of reducing fibrotic tissue production.

The influence of calcium phosphate (Ca-P) coating on the bone response of titanium implants was investigated two types of titanium implants, i.e. as -machined ,as -machined with Ca-P coating, were prepared. The Ca-P coating produced by OCT Inc technique. These implants were inserted into the left and right femur of beagle dog, After implantation periods of 3 days, 1weeks, weeks, 4weeks, 8weeks, 12weeks. 24weeks, the bone-implant interface was evaluated histologically, histomorphometrically , and removal torque. Histological evaluation revealed no new bone formation around different implant materials after 2weeks of implantation. After 4 weeks, Ca-P coated implants showed a higher amount of bone contact than either of the non coated implants. After 12weeks, bone healing was almost completed. And implant were removed by reverse torque rotation with torque-measuring device. Mean torque values for 4weeks control were 2.375Kgf.cm and experimental were 2.725Kgf.cm. And mean torque values for 8weeks control were 1.25Kgf.cm and experimental were 1.0Kgf.cm On the basis of these findings, we concluded that deposition of a Ca-P coating on an implant has a beneficial effect on the bone response to this implant during the healing phase. Besides implant surface conditions the bone response is also determined by local implant site condition.

As a starting material, BCP (biphasic calcium phosphate) nano powder was synthesized by a hydrothermal microwave-assisted process. A highly porous BCP scaffold was fabricated by the sponge replica method using 60 ppi (pore per inch) of polyurethane sponge. The BCP scaffold had interconnected pores ranging from $100\;{\mu}m$ to $1000\;{\mu}m$, which were similar to natural cancellous bone. To realize the antibacterial property, a microwave-assisted nano Ag spot coating process was used. The morphology and distribution of nano Ag particles were different depending on the coating conditions, such as concentration of the $AgNO_3$ solution, microwave irradiation times, etc. With an increased microwave irradiation time, the amount of coated nano Ag particles increased. The surface of the BCP scaffold was totally covered with nano Ag particles homogeneously at 20 seconds of microwave irradiation time when 0.6 g of $AgNO_3$ was used. With an increased amount of $AgNO_3$ and irradiation time, the size of the coated particles increased. Antibacterial activities of the solution extracted from the Ag-coated BCP scaffold were examined against gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus). When 0.6 g of $AgNO_3$ was used for coating the Ag-coated scaffold, it showed higher antibacterial activities than that of the Ag-coated scaffold using 0.8 g of $AgNO_3$.

Corrosion protection of automotive steels has traditionally been assured by using a zinc phosphate metal pretreatment followed by the deposition of a cathodic electrocoat system. This system has been developed and optimized over the years into a highly robust and dependable system with a high performance. However, in terms of efficiency and use of resources and energy, the need is now felt to develop a simpler system with fewer steps, shorter lines, less energy requirements (curing and e-coat deposition) and less stringent waste disposal requirement (phosphate sludge). We report here on the development of a one-step system that can possibly replace both the zinc phosphate and the e-coating processes. Such a system is based on the so-called superprimer concept that we have recently developed for the replacement of chromate pretreatment and chromate-containing primers in the aerospace industry. With some modifications, such systems can also be adapted for use in the automotive industry.
