In order to improve the bioactivity and mechanical properties of hydroxyapatite (HAp), chitosan (Chi) was in situ combined into HAp to fabricate a composite scaffold by a sublimation-assisted compression method. A highly porous film with sufficient mechanical strength was prepared and the bioactivity was investigated by examining the apatite formed on the scaffolds incubated in simulated body fluid. In addition, the cytotoxicity of the HAp/Chi composite was studied by evaluating the viability of murine fibroblasts (L-929 cells) exposed to diluted extracts of the composite films. The apatite layer was assessed using scanning electronic microscopy, inductively coupled plasma-optical emission spectrometry and weight measurement. Composite analysis showed that a layer of micro-sized, needle-like crystals was formed on the surface of the composite film. Additionally, the WST-8 assay after L-929 cells were exposed to diluted extracts of the composite indicated that the HAp/Chi scaffold has good in vitro cytocompatibility. The results indicated that HAp/Chi composites with porous structure are promising scaffolding materials for bone-patch engineering because their porous morphology can provide an environment conductive to attachment and growth of osteoblasts and osteogenic cells.

We in this paper study nonlinear bending of a functionally graded porous nanobeam subjected to multiple physical load based on the nonlocal strain gradient theory. For more reasonable analysis of nanobeams made of porous functionally graded magneto-thermo-electro-elastic materials (PFGMTEEMs), both constituent materials and the porosity appear gradient distribution in the present expression of effective material properties, which is much more suitable to the actual compared with the conventional expression of effective material properties. Besides the displacement function regarding physical neutral surface is introduced to analyze mechanical behaviors of beams made of FGMs. Then we derive nonlinear governing equations of PFGMTEEMs beams using the principle of Hamilton. To obtain analytical solutions, a two-step perturbation method is developed in nonuniform electric field and magnetic field, and then we use it to solve nonlinear equations. Finally, the analytical solutions are utilized to perform a parametric analysis, where the effect of various physical parameters on static bending deformation of nanobeams are studied in detail, such as the nonlocal parameter, strain gradient parameter, the ratio of nonlocal parameter to strain gradient parameter, porosity volume fraction, material volume fraction index, temperature, initial magnetic potentials and external electric potentials.

표면층과 내부간의 기공구조가 다른 다공질체를 제조하기 위해 입자크기가 다른 두 종류의 분체를 이용하여 다공질 성형체를 제조하였다. 두 층간의 소결 수축율을 동일하게 제어하기 위해 성형밀도 변화에 따른 소결밀도 변화를 예측할 수 있는 Ford＇s equation을 도입하여 소결 수축율을 동일한 조건을 구하였다. 제조된 다공질체는 미세구조와 통기도를 조사함으로서 기공의 이중 구조화 여부를 평가하였다. SEM 관찰결과 기공크기가 다른 두 층으로 구성되어 있는 것을 확인하였다. 각 층의 통기도는 출발 입자크기와 기공율이 클수록 증가하였으며, 이중 기공구조를 갖는 시편의 통기도는 기공크기가 작은 층의 특성에 의존하였다.

Recently porous metal has been used as supporting metal in planar type SOFC. In order to search optimum alloys for porous metal support and estimate the stability of metal-supported SOFC at high temperature, it is necessary to investigate the oxidation behaviors of porous material for metal support in comparison with dense material. Oxidation tests of porous and dense stainless steels were conducted at $600^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$. Since the specific surface area of porous material is much larger than that of dense material, surface area should be considered in order to compare the oxidation rate of porous stainless steel with that of dense stainless steel. The specific surface area of porous body was measured using image analyzer. The weight gain of porous stainless steel was much greater than those of dense stainless steels due to its larger specific surface area. considering the specific surface area, the oxidation rate of porous stainless steel is likely to be the same as that of dense stainless steel with the same surface area. The change in chromium content in stainless steel during oxidation was also investigated. The experimental result in chromium content in stainless steel during oxidation corresponded with the calculated value. While the change in chromium content in dense stainless steel during oxidation is negligible, chromium content in porous stainless steel rapidly decreases with oxidation time due to its large specific surface area. The significant decrease in chromium content in porous stainless steel during oxidation may affect the oxidation resistance of porous stainless steel support and long term stability of metal-supported SOFC.

Porous composite of $Al_2O_3$ and AIN based mullite and SiC can be prepared by alumium reaction synthesis and atmosphere controllied sintering in order to improve the durability of a gas filter body. The porous $Al_2O_3$-AIN-mullite, which has a strength of 168 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$ and porosity of 51.59%, could be obtained by stmospheric firing at $1600^{\circ}C$ and the porous $Al_2O_3$-AIN-SiC with a porosity of 33% and strength of 977 kg/$\textrm{cm}^2$, could also be prepared. The average pore size has been changed from 0.2$\mu\textrm{m}$ in a reduction atmosphere and to 2$\mu\textrm{m}$ in an air atmosphere, respectively.

본 연구에서는 해수-담수-해안대수층의 비선형 상호작용을 직접 해석할 있는 PBM(Porous Body Model) 기반의 3차원 N-S Solver인 LES-WASS-3D ver 2.0을 적용하며, 해안대수층의 해수침투모의를 수행하였다. 이와 같은 N-S Solver를 적용한 해안대수층의 해수침투모의는 국내 최초 수행되는 것일 뿐만 아니라, 국외적으로도 찾아보기 어려운 새로운 수치해석방법이라고 할 수 있다. 먼저 적용하는 수치모델을 검증하기 위하여 해안대수층의 해수-담수 경계면에 관한 수리모형실험결과와 비교 검토하여 수치모델의 타당성 및 유효성을 확인하였다. 그리고 해수위 및 지하수위 변화를 고려한 해안대수층 내의 해수침투모의를 수행하여 해수위-지하수위 차와 해수위의 비(${\Delta}h/h$)의 증가에 따른 해안대수층 내의 유동장 그리고 해수-담수 경계면 분포 특성에 관하여 논의하였다. 또한 기존의 비확산 수치모델에서 도출할 수 없었던, ${\Delta}h/h$에 따른 해안대수층 내의 연직 염분농도로 부터 해수침투 특성을 파악하였으며, 최종적으로 지표화 할 수 있는 ${\Delta}h/h$가 해안대수층 내의 해수침투거리에 미치는 영향에 대하여 분석하였다. 이 결과로부터 ${\Delta}h/h$가 작을수록 해안대수층 내의 해수침투가 약해지는 메커니즘을 이해할 수 있었다.

Porous metals are called as a new material of 21th century because they show not only extremely low density, but also novel physical, thermal, mechanical, electrical, and acoustic properties. Since the late in the 1990's, considerable progress has been made in the production technologies of many kinds of porous metals such as aluminum, titanium, nickel, copper, stainless steel, etc. The commercial applications of porous metals have been increased in the field of light weight structures, sound absorption, mechanical damping, bio-materials, thermal management for heat exchanger and heat sink. Especially, the porous metals are promising in automotive applications for light-weighting body sheets and various structural components due to the good relation between weight and stiffness. This paper reviews the recent progress of production techniques using molten metal bubbling, metal foaming, gas expansion, hollow sphere structure, unidirectional solidification, etc, which have been commercialized or under developing, and finally introduces several case studies on the potential applications of porous metals in the area of heat sink, automotive pannel, cathod for Ni-MH battery, golf putter and medical implant.

This paper presents a novel structure for a diesel particulate filter (DPF) with inclined gas paths, which was designed so that the gas paths offered a fluent flow of exhaust gases, and particulate matter (PM) was collected at pores formed in the body. The alumina porous filter was prepared by a conventional sintering process at $1200^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. Straight gas paths with $30^{\circ}$ of inclination from the gas flow direction were formed in the filter body. It is shown that this filter structure worked as a PM filter, in which 90.2% of soot filtration efficiency and 59.6 mbar of pressure drop were achieved.

BCP powder was synthesized using microwave hydrothermal process with mixed calcium hydroxide and phosphoric acid. After using replica method, porous BCP scaffold was fabricated. PU (Poly Urethane) was used as the fugitive skeleton to fabricate the porous scaffold. BCP powder was mixed in PVB (Polyvinyl butyral) and ethanol solution and then applied to the PU foam by dip coating. After several times of coating and the subsequent oven drying the coated PU foam was burnt out at $750^{\circ}C$ at air to remove the PU. The resulting networked porous composites were sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$, $1300^{\circ}C$ and $1350^{\circ}C$ in microwave furnace for 30 minutes. Material properties of the porous bodies like compressive strength and porosity were investigated. Detailed microstructure of the BCP porous body was characterized by SEM and XRD and TEM techniques. In our experiments, the relationship between mechanical property and viscosity of powder, sintering temperature was investigated.
