PURPOSE. To describe and characterize the surface topography and cleanliness of CAD/CAM manufactured zirconia abutments after steaming and ultrasonic cleaning. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 12 ceramic CAD/CAM implant abutments of various manufacturers were produced and randomly divided into two groups of six samples each (control and test group). Four two-piece hybrid abutments and two one-piece abutments made of zirconium-dioxide were assessed per each group. In the control group, cleaning by steam was performed. The test group underwent an ultrasonic cleaning procedure with acetone, ethyl alcohol and antibacterial solution. Groups were subjected to scanning electron microscope (SEM) analysis and Energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) to verify and characterize contaminant chemical characterization non- quantitatively. RESULTS. All zirconia CAD/CAM abutments in the present study displayed production-induced wear particles, debris as well as organic and inorganic contaminants. The abutments of the test group showed reduction of surface contamination after undergoing an ultrasonic cleaning procedure. However, an absolute removal of pollutants could not be achieved. CONCLUSION. The presence of debris on the transmucosal surface of CAD/CAM zirconia abutments of various manufacturers was confirmed. Within the limits of the study design, the results suggest that a defined ultrasonic cleaning process can be advantageously employed to reduce such debris, thus, supposedly enhancing soft tissue healing. Although the adverse long-term influence of abutment contamination on the biological stability of peri-implant tissues has been evidenced, a standardized and validated polishing and cleaning protocol still has to be implemented.

Methylene blue (MB) was degraded by $TiO_2$ and ZnO deposited on an activated carbon fiber (ACF) surface under UV light. The ACF/$TiO_2$ and ACF/ZnO composites were characterized by BET, SEM, XRD, and EDX. The BET surface area was related to the adsorption capacity for composites. The SEM results showed that titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are distributed on the ACF surface. The XRD results showed that the ACF/$TiO_2$ and ACF/ZnO composites contained a unique anatase structure for $TiO_2$ and a typical hexagonal phase for ZnO respectively. These EDX spectra showed the presence of peaks of Ti element on ACF/$TiO_2$ composite and peaks of Zn element on the ACF/ZnO composite. The blank experiments for either illuminating the MB solution or the suspension containing ACF/$TiO_2$ or ACF/ZnO in the dark showed that both illumination and the catalyst were necessary for the mineralization of organic dye. Additionally, the ACF/$TiO_2$ composites proved to be efficient photocatalysts due to degradation of MB at higher reaction rates. The addition of an oxidant $([NH_4]_2S_2O_8)$ led to an increase of the degradation rate of MB for ACF/$TiO_2$ and ACF/ZnO composites.

Polyimide-silica 하이브리드막을 제조하고 silica 함량이 막의 구조적 특성과 기체의 투과특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 하이브리드막은 N,N`-dimethyl acetamide(DMAc) 용매 속에서 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylicdianhydride(PMDA)와 4,4`-diaminodiphenyl oxide(ODA) 및 tetraethyoxysilane(TEOS)를 출발물질로 하여 졸-겔 공정으로 제조하였다. 제조한 막은 FT-IR, EDX, TGA 및 SEM에 의하여 구조적 특성을 분석하고, $25^{\circ}C$에서 ${N_2}, {O_2}, {H_2}, {CO_2} 및 ${CH_4}$ 기체에 대한 투과특성을 조사하였다. 하이브리드막은 높은 열적 안정성을 나타내었으며, polymide matrix에 silica입자가 균일하게 분포되어 있었고 silica 함량이 증가할수록 silica 입자의 크기가 증가하였다. 기체의 투과도계수는 silica 함량이 증가할수록 증가하였으나, 확산계수는 silica 함량에 무관하게 거의 일정하였다. 따라서 하이브리드막에 의한 투과도계수의 증가는 용해도계수가 증가하기 때문으로 생각되었다. 이들 기체에 대한 투과도계사구 증가함에도 불구하고, ${H_2}/{N_2}, ${H_2}/{O_2}와 ${H_2}/{CO_2}의 선택도가 증가하였다.

Enormous amount of waste oyster-shell (OS) has a major disposal problem in coastal regions. OSs have attracted much attention for recycling, because these are mainly composed of calcium carbonate with rare impurities. In this study, we demonstrate the calcareous deposit films on steel plate by using OSs on the basic of cathodic protection technique. The composition of the OSs was analyzed by wavelength dispersive X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. Carbon dioxide gas was pumped into distilled water to make carbonic acid solution for dissolution of OS. The calcareous deposit was characterized by second electron microscope (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX) and X-ray diffraction. Corrosion rates were estimated by measurements of anodic polarization and immersion test. It is confirmed that calcareous deposits on steel plate are formed under all condition of cathodic protection by using waste OS from the SEM and EDX results. Calcareous deposits on steel by OS provide good corrosion resistance by acting as a barrier to oxygen supply to the steel surface.

In this study, we used activated carbon (AC) and titanium oxysulfate as a titanium precursor to prepare carbon/titania composites. We then mixed it with bentonite in different ratios to make a carbon/titania/bentonite monolith for use in architecture bricks by using Phenolic rosin (PR) as a bonding agent. The physicochemical properties of the prepared composites were analyzed by BET surface area, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX), self-cleaning effect and bactericidal tests. The BET surface areas increased as the ratio of carbon/titania composites increased. The SEM microscopy showed that the $TiO_2$ and bentonite were coated on the surface of the AC. The XRD patterns showed a mixture structure of anatase and rutile of $TiO_2$ with a clear $SiO_2$ structure. The EDX spectra of the carbon/titania/bentonite monolith confirmed the presence of various elements, namely C, O, Ti and Si, as well as other, impure elements. Moreover, to determine the self-cleaning effect of the carbon/titania/bentonite monolith, we used methylene blue (MB, $C_{16}H_{18}N_3S{\cdot}Cl{\cdot}3H_2O$) in an aqueous solution under the irradiation of visible light. Accordingly, all of the samples had excellent degradation of the MB solution. Furthermore, it was observed that the composites with sunlight irradiation had a greater effect on E. coli than any other experimental conditions.

광촉매 $TiO_2$박막은 titanium (IV) isopropoxide, 에탄올, HCl을 일정한 비율로 졸-겔방법에 의해 제작하였다. SEM에 의한 표면관찰에서는 $500^{\circ}C$에서 5회 반복해서 코팅하여 제작한 것이 우수했다. EDX에 의한 성분비는 spin코팅이 O : Ti의 atom%가 61 : 39로 dip코팅보다 우수했다. 그리고 박막제작의 온도에 따라서 anatase상에서 rutile상으로 결정구조가 변화되어 가는 것을 XRD측정으로 알았다. 제작한 $TiO_2$박막에 UV빔을 조사해서 얻은 TOC의 광분해효율이 1 h 이내에 20~65%를 나타내었고, 그 이후에는 서서히 감소하는 것을 확인했다.

본 연구에서는 (3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane을 사용하여 표면을 아민기로 관능화함과 동시에 팔면체와 사면체 구조를 가지는 마그네슘-층상규산염(AF-MgP)을 합성하였다. FT-IR과 XRD 분석을 통해 AF-MgP가 성공적으로 합성되었음과, 입자 표면의 아민기 및 1 : 2 비율의 팔면체와 사면체 구조를 확인하였다. HR-SEM와 EDX 분석을 통해 면섬유 표면에 AF-MgP가 고루 흡착되어 섬유를 코팅하고 있음을 확인하였다. KS 규격에 따른 섬유의 항균력 시험 결과 AF-MgP 입자가 코팅된 면섬유는 피부 상재균에 대해 매우 우수한 항균 활성을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다. 이상의 결과들은 AF-MgP가 섬유에 항균성을 부여해주는 기능성 나노 소재로서 적용될 뿐만 아니라, 화장품이나 의료 소재 분야에서 응용이 가능함을 시사한다.

Gamma-irradiation (0-7 kGy) of ginseng is permitted in Korea for the purpose of microbial decontamination; with strict labeling, traceability and monitoring requirements. An identification study was conducted to determine the photostimulated-luminescence (PSL) and thermoluminescence (TL) properties of gamma-irradiated fresh and white ginsengs cultivated in different areas. Dose- dependent PSL-based screening was possible for white ginseng samples; however, inappropriate results from non-irradiated fresh ginseng samples were obtained, showing intermediate (700 to 5,000) or positive ($T_2$ >5,000, irradiated) PSL counts due to the abundance of minerals on the surfaces of the samples. TL analysis of separated minerals from all non-irradiated samples gave TL glow curves of low intensity with a maximum peak after $300^{\circ}C$. However, well-defined irradiation-specific (high intensity with a maximum peak at about $200^{\circ}C$) glow curves were observed for all the irradiated samples, regardless of their type and origins. TL ratios (first glow curve /second glow curve) were also determined to confirm the irradiated (>0.1) and non-irradiated (<0.1) results. SEM-EDX (scanning electron microscope-energy dispersive X-ray) and XRD (X-ray diffraction) spectroscopic analyses showed that feldspar and quartz minerals were the main source for the typical radiation-specific luminescence properties.
