In this paper, two kind of free-form progressive addition lenses (PALs) were designed with Zernike polynomial surface and anatomically accurate finite presbyopic schematic eyes which have aspheric cornea, aspheric GRIN crystalline lens, aspheric retina, and Gaussian apodization factor. Geometrical and diffraction MTFs were used for the optimization process in sequence. 5th orders of Zernike polynomials were used for the evaluation of progression zones of the two examples. The target MTF was set as 0.22 at 100 lp/mm which satisfies the standard visual resolution. These examples were fabricated with a CNC diamond turning machine controlled by slow tool servo (STS). After polishing process, the wavefront aberrations were measured with a laser interferometer on the ten test points across the progression zones and then compared with three current commercially available PALs on the optical performance. Astigmatic aberrations of the examples are very lower than the three selected PALs and have more increased stabilized progressive intermediate zones and near zones. It is expected to give better clear and comfortable distance, intermediate and near visions than other conventional PALs and to improve the adaptability of presbyopic patients to PALs.

Ceromers, new indirect resin system, are now being adopted for esthetic restorations. Despite of its translucency and good color matching, color stability after long-term use was unknown till now. This in vitro study was designed to evaluate color stability of some ceromers when subjected to brushing after thermocycling. Three types of ceromers: Scupture, Targis, Artglass and a direct resin system, Z100 were prepared to disks 12 mm in diameter, 2.5 mm in thickness. All specimens were polished, and Sculpture and Targis specimens were divided two groups, respectively. Then, half of them were glazed according to manufacturer's instructions. All specimen were brushed 20,000 times after 10,000 cycle thermocycling. Color was measured with spectrophotometer after 1,000, 3,000, 10,000 times thermocycling and 20,000 time brushing, respectively. Color difference (${\Delta}E$) was calculated according to CIE LAB system. During thermocycling, Sculpture & Targis system with polished surface showed greater color change than any other groups. After brushing, color difference was reduced significantly. Mean values of ${\Delta}E$ ranged 0.98 to 2.98. All Ceromers were considered clinically acceptable after thermocycling and brushing, and color change mechanism was affected by the brands and finishing methods. It might be concluded that color change of ceromer is due to surface alteration.

In this work, the yttrium oxide($Y_2O_3$) thin films as the buffer layer were prepared by the simple solution coating and reel-to-reel process on an unpolished metal tape substrate. The $Y_2O_3$ thin films were successfully synthesized by the hydrolysis of yttrium acetate. We have studied the improvement of surface roughness with the concentration of solution(0.1 M, 0.4 M, M) and the number of coatings. The planarization by solution coating process is simple in comparison with the existing polishing process, and it is eco-friendly, and has the benefits of low cost process. The thickness of $Y_2O_3$ films was increased with the $Y_2O_3$ concentration in the solution, and the surface became smoother with the number of coating cycles. Using this process, we have achieved 1.2 nm RMS roughness from a starting roughness of over 31 nm on 25 ${\mu}m^2$ area.

Copper iodide was employed as a modifier for preparation of a new carbon ceramic electrode. For the first time, the catalytic oxidation of amoxicillin (AMX) was demonstrated by cyclic voltammetry, chronoamperometry and amperometry methods at the surface of this modified carbon ceramic electrode. The copper iodide modified sol-gel derived carbon ceramic (CIM-SGD-CC) electrode has very high catalytic ability for electrooxidation of amoxicillin. The catalytic oxidation peak current was linearly dependent on the amoxicillin concentration and the linearity range obtained was 100 to 1000 ${\mu}mol\;L^{-1}$ with a detection limit of 0.53 ${\mu}mol\;L^{-1}$. The diffusion coefficient ($D=(1.67{\pm}0.102){\times}10^{-3}\;cm^2\;s^{-1}$), and the kinetic parameter such as the electron transfer coefficient (${\alpha}$) and exchange current density ($j_0$) for the modified electrode were calculated. The advantages of the modified CCE are its good stability and reproducibility of surface renewal by simple polishing, excellent catalytic activity and simplicity of preparation.

In order to improve the properties of high-temperature superconducting wire for superconducting cable system, we optimized the electro-polishing (EP), ion-beam assisted deposition (IBAD), superconducting (SC) layer, and baking (heat) treatment. The buffer layer was deposited on electro-polished substrate with RMS roughness ($R_{RMS}$) less than 5 nm. The IBAD process was carried out at $V_{beam}$: 1100 V and $V_{accel}$: 850 V that resulted in highly crystalline film of $LaMnO_3$. Chemical composition of SC layer is key to higher critical current, and we found that composition can be determined by surface color of SC layer. We adopt a proprietary contorl system based on RGB analysis of the surface and achieved critical current of 150 A/4 mm-width. The proposed baking treatment resulted in decreasing of about 10% of fraction defects.

In this paper, we first applied the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) process to the planarization of ferroelectric film in order to obtain a good planarity of electrode/ferroelectric film interface. $Bi_{3.25}La_{0.75}Ti_{3}O_{12}$ (BLT) ferroelectric fan was fabricated by the sol-gel method. Removal rate and non-uniformity (WIWNU%) were examined by change of silica slurries pH(10.3, 11.3, 12.3). Surface roughness of BLT thin films before and after CMP process was inquired into by atomic force microscopy (AFM). Effects of silica slurries pH(10.3, 11.3, 12.3) were investigated on the CMP performance of BLT film by the surface analysis of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS).

In machining of ceramic materials, they are very difficult-to cut materials because of there high strength and hardness. Machining of ceramics are characterized by cracking and brittle fracture. Generally, ceramics are machined using conventional method such as grinding and polishing. However these processes are generally costly and have low MRR(material removal rate). This paper focuses on machinability evaluation of machinable ceramics for products with CNC machining center. Thus, in this paper, experiment applying cutting parameters is performed based on experimental design method. A design and analysis of experiments is conducted to study the effects of these parameters on the surface roughness by using the S/N ratio, analysis of ANOVA, and F-test. And multiple linear regression analysis is applied to compare experimental with predicted data in consideration of surface roughness. Cutting parameters, namely, feed, cutting speed and depth of cut are used to accomplish purpose of this paper. Required experiments are performed, and the results are investigated.

본 연구에서는 Cu 슬러리에 부식방지제인 BTA를 첨가하여 슬러리내의 과수의 농도, pH 의 변화, 연마입자의 종류에 따라 연마거동에 미치는 영향과 각 chemical 변화에 따른 Cu surface의 변화를 살펴보았다. BTA (Benzotriazole, $C_6H_4C_3H$)를 첨가함으로써 본 연구에서 시행된 pH 와 과수의 변화에 상관없이 Cu-BTA film을 형성하여 Cu의 dissolution을 최대한 억제하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또 그로인해 BTA를 첨가하지 않았을 때보다 얇은 passivation layer를 형성함을 알 수 있었고 contact angle도 더 높았다. 연마율의 경우에도 BTA가 첨가됨으로써 감소됨을 확인할 수 있었고 연마입자로 alumina particle을 사용한 경우에는 pH6, 과수 10vol%이상에서는 오히려 연마율이 증가하였다. fumed silica의 경우에는 hardness가 작아 mechanical적인 제거력이 낮아 BTA가 첨가되어도 연마율에는 큰 영향이 없었다.

Fabrication of large scaled mirror for the telescope application is the most challenging technology in recent year. Sophisticate technologies and know-how in fabrication and measurement are required to overcome the technological obstacles. KRISS(Korea Research Institute for Standards and Science) is now developing a large scaled mirror fabrication facility and KARI(Korea Aerospace Research Institute) is supporting the development. High precision interferometric test is required during the grinding and polishing of mirror to identify the surface profile precisely. The required fabrication accuracy of the mirror surface profile is $\lambda$/50 ms($\sim$10 nm for visible wave length). Thus the measurement accuracy should be far less than 10 m. To get this requirement, it is necessary to provide vibration free environment for the interferometer system and mirror under test. Thus the vibration responses on the mirror supporting table due to external vibration should be minimized by using a special isolation system. And the responses on the top of the tower, which hold the interferometer during test, should be minimized simultaneously. In this paper, we propose the concept design of vibration suppression system for the KRISS mirror fabrication facility.
