The morphology of mesoporous $TiO_2$ films plays an important role in the operation of a DSSC. For example, the energy conversion efficiency of DSSCs with well-organized mesoporous $TiO_2$ films is much higher than those with traditional films possessing a random morphology. In previous research, well-organized mesoporous $TiO_2$ films have mainly been synthesized using an amphiphilic block copolymer, e.g., a poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO)-based template. A graft copolymer is more attractive than a block copolymer due to its low cost and the ease with which it can be synthesized. In this work, we provide the first report on the successful synthesis of well-organized mesoporous $TiO_2$ films templated by an organized graft copolymer as a structure directing agent. Well-organized mesoporous $TiO_2$ films with excellent channel connectivities were developed via the sol gel processusing an organized PVC-g-POEM graft copolymer synthesized by one-pot ATRP. The careful adjustment of copolymer composition and solvent affinity using a THF/$H_2O$/HCl mixture was used to systematically vary the material structure. The influence of the material structure on solar cell performance was then investigated. A solid-state DSSC employing both the graft copolymer templated organized 700 nm-thick $TiO_2$ films and graft copolymer electrolytes exhibited a solar conversion efficiency of 2.2% at 100 $mW/cm^2$. This value was approximately two-fold higher than that attained from a DSSC employing a random mesoporous $TiO_2$ film. The solar cell performance was maximized at 4.6% when the film thickness was increased to $2.5{\mu}m$. We believe that this graft copolymer-directed approach introduces a new and simple route toward the synthesis of well-organized metal oxide films as an alternative to a conventional block copolymer-based template.

졸-겔(sol-gel)방법으로 제작된 산소 결핍된 anatase 및 rutile구조의 $TiO_{2-\delta}$ 박막에 대하여 철(Fe)도핑에 의하여 생겨나는 전기적, 자기적 특성의 변화를 조사분석 하였다. 진동 시료 자화율(vibrating sample magnetometry; VSM)과 뫼스바우어 분광(conversion electron Mossbauer spectroscopy, CEMS) 측정을 통하여 Fe 도핑된 anatase 및 rutile $TiO_{2-\delta}$ 박막들에서 모두 상온에서 강자성(ferromagnetism)특성이 나타남이 관측되었다. VSM측정 결과 같은 양의 Fe도핑에 대하여 anatase 시료는 rutile 시료보다 더 큰 자기모멘트 값을 나타내었고 CEMS측정으로부터 팔면체 $Ti^{4+}$자리에 치환된 $Fe^{3+}$이온이 시료가 나타내는 강자성 특성에 주로 기여하는 것으로 해석된다. 홀 효과(Hall effect)측정 결과 anatase $TiO_{2-\delta}:Fe$ 박막은 상온에서 p-type특성을 보였으나 관측된 강자성은 he]e carrier 농도와는 무관한 것으로 해석된다. $TiO_{2-\delta}:Fe$ 박막에서 관측된 강자성 특성은 산소결핍자리(oxygen vacancy)에 갇힌 전자를 매개로 하여 이웃한 두 $Fe^{3+}$ 이온들 간에 존재하게 되는 직접적인 강자성 결합(direct ferromagnetic coupling)에 기인한 것으로 해석될 수 있다.

$Ti_{1-x}$$^{57}$ F $e_{x}$ $O_2$(0.0$\leq$x$\leq$0.7) 분말을 졸-겔법으로 제조하여 $^{57}$ Fe의 치환량에 따른 결정학적 및 자기적 성질을 연구하였다. X-선 회절 및 중성자 회절실험을 통하며 모든 시료가 anatase 구조를 갖는 순수한 단일상임을 확인할 수 있었다. 진동시료자화율측정기 (VSM)를 통한 자기모멘트의 측정 결과, $^{57}$ Fe의 치환량이 증가함에 따라 상온에서의 Fe 원자 당 자기모멘트 값이 급격히 감소하는 매우 독특한 현상을 관측할 수 있었다. x$\leq$0.01 치환량을 갖는 시료들은 분명한 강자성 거동을 보였으며, x$\geq$0.03 치환량을 갖는 시료들에 대해서는 상자성 형태의 자화곡선이 관측되었다. 이에 대하여 14 K 부터 400 K까지 Mossbauer 분광실험을 한 결과 x$\leq$0.01 치환량을 갖는 시료의 경우 Ti $O_2$내의 $^{57}$ Fe가 상온에서 강자성(sextet)과 상자성(doublet) 형태로 동시에 존재함을 확인할 수 있었고, x$\geq$0.03 치환량을 갖는 시료들에 대해선 오직 상자성 상만을 나타내는 날카로운 doublet만이 존재함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 Mossbauer와 VSM 두 결과가 잘 일치함을 보여주고 있고, 상온에서 강자성을 나타내기 위한 $^{57}$ Fe의 치환한계가 x=0.01과 0.03 사이에 있음을 말해 주고 있다. 또한, 상온에서 강자성 성질을 갖는 x$\leq$0.01 시료들로부터 얻은 자기 모멘트 값이 매우 작은 것은 치환된 $^{57}$ Fe의 강자성 상과 상자성 상이 동시에 기여하기 때문에 얻어진 결과로 해석될 수 있다.다.

p-형 실리콘 기판 위에 수 ${\AA}$ 두께의 어븀 금속을 증착하고, 후열처리 과정을 통하여 어븀-실리사이드/p-형 실리콘 접합을 형성하였다. 초고진공 자외선 광전자 분광 실험을 통하여 증착한 어븀의 두께에 따라 어븀-실리사이드의 일함수가 4.1 eV까지 급하게 감소하는 것을 관찰하였으며, X-ray 회절 실험에 의하여 형성된 어븀 실리사이드가 주로 $Er_5Si_3$상으로 구성되어 있음을 밝혔다. 또한, 어븀-실리사이드/p-형 실리콘 접합에 알루미늄 전극을 부착하여 쇼트키 다이오드를 제작하고, 전류전압 곡선을 측정하여 쇼트키 장벽의 높이를 산출하였다. 산출된 쇼트키 장벽의 높이는 $0.44{\sim}0.78eV$이었으며 어븀 두께 변화에 따른 상관 관계를 찾기 어려웠다. 그리고 이상적인 쇼트키 접합을 가정하고 이미 측정한 일함수로부터 산출한 쇼트키 장벽의 높이는 전류-전압 곡선으로부터 산출한 값에 크게 벗어났으며, 이는 어븀-실리사이드가 주로 $Er_5Si_3$ 상으로 구성되어 있고, $Er_5Si_3/p-$형 실리콘 계면에 존재하는 고밀도의 계면 상태에 기인한 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 다양한 조건에서 선식을 제조한 후 선식의 이화학적 특성, 기능성 특성, 미생물 안전성 검사 및 관능적 특성을 살펴보았다. 선식 제조 조건으로 로스팅 시간과 온도를 다르게 하여 제조하였고, 산업적인 활용을 위해 입자사이즈는 두 가지 형태로 제조하였다. 또한 기능성과 영양적 가치를 높이기 위하여 귀리, 수수, 조를 발아시켜 첨가하였다. 선식의 수분함량은 로스팅 시간이 길어질수록 낮았으며 발아곡류를 첨가하여 제조한 선식에서 다소 높은 수분함량을 나타냈다. 140 mesh로 제조한 선식은 100 mesh로 제조한 선식에 비해 높은 수분함량과 다소 낮은 조단백과 조지방 함량을 나타냈다. 선식의 색도 역시 로스팅 시간이 길어질수록 명도가 감소함을 확인할 수 있었다. 선식 점도는 발아곡류를 첨가한 시료에서 70 cP 이상의 점도를 나타냈다. 선식의 pH는 약산성의 범위를 나타냈으며, DSC를 이용하여 측정한 호화도는 로스팅 온도가 높을수록 호화도가 높아 선식의 호화엔탈피는 낮게 나타났다. DPPH 라디칼 소거능은 긴 로스팅 시간에서 처리한 선식과 발아곡류를 첨가한 선식이 높게 나타났다. 관능평가에서도 긴 로스팅 시간에서 처리한 선식이 높은 고소한 향을 나타냈다. 결과적으로 본 연구에서 로스팅 조건, 입자사이즈, 발아곡류 첨가는 선식의 품질에 영향을 미치는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Ti-Ni alloys are widely used in numerous biomedical applications (e.g., orthodontics, cardiovascular science, orthopaedics) due to their distinctive thermomechanical and mechanical properties, such as the shape memory effect, superelasticity and low elastic modulus. In order to increase the biocompatibility of Ti-Ni alloys, many surface modification techniques, such as the sol-gel technique, plasma immersion ion implantation (PIII), laser surface melting, plasma spraying, and chemical vapor deposition, have been employed. In this study, a Ti-49.5Ni (at%) alloy was electrochemically etched in 1M $H_2SO_4$+ X (1.5, 2.0, 2.5) wt% HF electrolytes to modify the surface morphology. The morphology, element distribution, crystal structure, roughness and energy of the surface were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive Xray spectrometry (EDS), X-ray diffractometry (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM) and contact angle analysis. Micro-sized pores were formed on the Ti-49.5Ni (at%) alloy surface by electrochemical etching with 1M $H_2SO_4$+ X (1.5, 2.0, 2.5) wt% HF. The volume fractions of the pores were increased by increasing the concentration of the HF electrolytes. Depending on the HF concentration, different pore sizes, heights, surface roughness levels, and surface energy levels were obtained. To investigate the osteoblast adhesion of the electrochemically etched Ti-49.5Ni (at%) alloy, a MTT test was performed. The degree of osteoblast adhesion was increased at a high concentration of HF-treated surface structures.

Rreactivity of persulfate (PS) for oxidation of TCE under various conditions such as heat, $Fe^{2+}$, and UV was investigated. It was found that degradation rate of TCE increased with increasing temperature from 15 to $35^{\circ}C$. At pH 7.0, the rate constants (k) at 15, 25, 30, and $35^{\circ}C$ were 0.07, 0.30, 0.74, and $1.30h^{-1}$, respectively. For activation by $Fe^{2+}$, removal efficiency of TCE increased with increasing $Fe^{2+}$ concentration from 1.9 mM to 11 mM. The maximum removal efficiency of TCE was approximately 85% when pH of the solution dropped from 7.0 to 2.5. Degradation of TCE by UV-activated PS was the most effective, showing that the degradation rate of TCE increased with inreasing PS dosage; the rate constants (k) at 0.5, 2.5, and 10 mM were 34.2, 40.5, and $55.9h^{-1}$, respectively. Our results suggest that PS activation by UV/PS process could be the most effective in activation processes tested for TCE degradation. For oxidation process by PS, however, pH should be observed and adjusted to neutral conditions (i.e., 5.8-8.5) if necessary.

For the successful cold starting of a fuel cell engine, either internal of external heat supply must be made to overcome the formation of ice from water below the freezing point of water. In the present study, switchable vanadium oxide compounds as variable temperature-electrical resistance materials onto the surface of flat metallic bipolar plates have been prepared by a dip-coating technique via an aqueous sol-gel method. Subsequently, the chemical composition and micro-structure of the polycrystalline solid thin films were analyzed by X-ray diffraction, X-ray fluorescence spectroscopy, and field emission scanning electron microscopy. In addition, it was carefully measured electrical resistance hysteresis loop over a temperature range from $-20^{\circ}C$ to $80^{\circ}C$ using the four-point probe method. The experimental results revealed that the thin films was mainly composed of Karelianite $V_2O_3$ which acts as negative temperature coefficient materials. Also, it was found that thermal dissipation rate of the vanadium oxide thin films partially satisfy about 50% saving of the substantial amount of energy required for ice melting at $-20^{\circ}C$. Moreover, electrical resistances of the vanadium-based materials converge on an extremely small value similar to that of pure flat metallic bipolar plates at higher temperature, i.e. $T{\geq}40^{\circ}C$. As a consequence, experimental studies proved that it is possible to apply the variable temperature-electrical resistance material based on vanadium oxides for the cold starting enhancement of a fuel cell vehicle and minimize parasitic power loss and eliminate any necessity for external equipment for heat supply in freezing conditions.

Purpose : The aim of this study is to determine changes to the thickness of core muscles, e.g., transversus abdominis (TrA), external oblique (EO), and internal oblique (IO), after plank and Kegel exercises and to compare the effects of the two exercise methods. Method : The study divided men and women in their 20s into two groups, Kegel and plank, by randomly allocating 30 males and 30 females to the targeted groups. To achieve the purpose of this study, we examined the thickness of core muscles after the participants performed plank or Kegel exercises. Results : 1. In the Kegel group, abdominal muscle thickness increased with time, and there was a statistically significant difference in the thickness of the TrA. 2. In the plank group, abdominal muscle thickness increased with time, and there was a statistically significant difference in the thickness of the TrA. 3. After the experiment, muscle thickness of the abdominal muscles in the plank exercise group were higher, but there was no significant difference between the Kegel exercise group and the plank exercise group. Conclusion : Both plank and Kegel exercises are recommended for core muscle stabilization, and based on the results of this study, Kegel exercise is either used as a core stabilizing exercise or as a plank exercise for the weaker patients or women.

NiTi alloy is widely used innumerous biomedical applications (orthodontics, cardiovascular, orthopaedics, etc.) for its distinctive thermomechanical and mechanical properties such as shape memory effect, super elasticity, low elastic modulus and high damping capacity. However, NiTi alloy is still a controversial biomaterial because of its high Ni content which can trigger the risk of allergy and adverse reactions when Ni ion releases into the human body. In order to improve the corrosion resistance of the TiNi alloy and suppress the release of Ni ions, many surface modification techniques have been employed in previous literature such as thermal oxidation, laser surface treatment, sol-gel method, anodic oxidation and electrochemical methods. In this paper, the NiTi was electrochemically etched in various electrolytes to modify surface. The microstructure, element distribution, phase composition and roughness of the surface were investigatedby scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry(EDS), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Systematic controlling of nano and submicron surface features was achieved by altered density of hydro fluidic acid in etchant solution. Nanoscale surface topography, such as, pore density, pore width, pore height, surface roughness and surface tension were extensively analyzed as systematical variables.Importantly, bone forming cell, osteoblast adhesion was increased in high density of hydro fluidic treated surface structures, i.e., in greater nanoscale surface roughness and in high surface areas through increasing pore densities.All results delineate the importance of surface topography parameter (pores) inNiTi to increase the biocompatibility of NiTi in identical chemistry which is crucial factor for determining biomaterials.
