그래핀은 본연의 우수한 물성으로 인하여 전자소자, 에너지 저장매체, 유연성 전도막 등 다양한 분야로의 응용가능성이 제기되었으나, 실제적인 응용을 위해서는 구조적인 결함을 최소화하며, 특성을 자유로이 제어하거나 향상시키는 공정의 개발이 요구된다. 특히 그래핀을 전자소자로 응용하기 위해서는 전기적 특성을 제어하는 것이 요구된다. 일반적으로 화학적 도핑은 그래핀의 전기적 특성을 제어하는 효율적인 방법으로 알려져 있다. 화학적 도핑은 그래핀을 구성하는 탄소원자를 이종원자로 치환하거나 표면에 흡착시켜 기능화 된 그래핀을 얻는 방법으로, 특정 가스 분위기에서 고온 열처리하거나 활성종들이 존재하는 플라즈마에 노출시키는 방법이 제시되었다. 특히 플라즈마를 이용한 도핑방법은 저온에서 단시간의 처리로 도핑이 가능하고, 플라즈마 변수를 변경하여 도핑정도를 수월하게 제어할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 플라즈마내의 극성을 띄는 다양한 활성종들의 충돌효과로 인하여 구조적인 손상이 발생하여 오히려 특성이 저하될 수 있어 이를 고려한 플라즈마 공정조건의 설정이 필수적이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 플라즈마에 노출된 그래핀의 Raman 특성을 고찰함으로써 화학적 도핑과 구조적인 결함의 경계를 확립하고 구조결함의 형성을 최소화한 효율적인 도핑조건을 도출하였다. 그래핀은 물리적 박리법을 이용하여 300 nm 두께의 실리콘 산화막이 존재하는 실리콘 웨이퍼 위에 제작하였으며, 평행 평판형 직류 플라즈마 장치를 이용하여 전극의 위치, 인가전력, 처리시간을 변수로 암모니아($NH_3$) 플라즈마를 방전하여 그래핀의 Raman 특성변화를 관찰하였다. 그래핀의 구조적 결함 및 도핑 효과는 라만 스펙트럼의 D, D', 2D밴드의 강도와 G밴드의 위치와 반치폭(Full width at half maximum; FWHM)의 변화를 통해 확인하였다. 그 결과, 인가전력과 처리시간에 따라 결함형성과 질소도핑 영역이 구분 가능함을 확인하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 결함형성을 최소화한 효율적인 도핑조건이 접지전위, 0.45 W의 인가전력, 처리시간 10초이며, 최적조건에서 계산된 도핑레벨은 $1.8{\times}10^{12}cm^{-2}$임을 확인하였다.

This paper is the results of experimental and numerical works on the investigating design factors influencing the bearing capacity, the ratio of stress concentration, and the failure mechanism of the clay ground improved with sand compaction piles (SCP). In order to find the behavior of the clay ground improved with SCP, extensive centrifuge model experiments were carried out for each of the SCP replacement ratio of 20, 40, and $70\%$, the non-plastic fine contents in sand of 5, 10, and $15\%$, and the ratio of the improved width to the loaded area (W/B) of 1, 2, and 3. The commertially available software of FEM, CRISP, was used to analyze test results by performing numerical estimations. In these numerical analyses the sand compaction piles and the clay ground were simulated as a linear elastic and plastic constitutive model and the modified Cam-clay model, based on Critical State Soil Mechanics, respectively.

As for a possibility of using high volume of recycled aggregate in concrete mixture, recycled fine one which is known to be worse in quality and hard to control was selected and investigated in terms of performance of mortar as the replacement ratio to natural fine aggregate was changed. As a result of test, it is found that grade of recycled fine aggregate was beyond standard one and fineness modulus of that itself was increased in compare to natural one. In case of making mortar with recycled fine aggregate, disadvantageous results such as less fluidity and air content including the increase of dry shrinkage were shown but strengths of mortar were comparable to the one making with natural aggregate, which means that planned strength of common concrete structure can be achieved by controlling W/C and the amount of chemical admixture, and also that large amount of recycled fine aggregate is applicable to the precast concrete products generally free to the amount of water.

Image Guided Surgery (IGS) system which has variously tried in medical engineering fields is able to give a surgeon objective information of operation process like decision making and surgical planning. This information is displayed through 3D images which are acquired from image modalities like CT and MRI for pre-operation. The technique of image registration is necessary to construct IGS system. Image registration means that 3D model and the object operated by a surgeon are matched on the common frame. Major techniques of registration in IGS system have been used by recognizing fiducial markers placed on the object. However, this method has been criticized due to additional trauma, its invasive protocol inserting fiducial markers in patient's bone and generating noise data when 2D slice images are acquired by image modality because many markers are made of metal. Therefore, this paper developed shape-based registration technique to improve the limitation of fiducial marker based IGS system. Iterative Closest Points (ICP) algorithm was used to match corresponding points and quaternion based rotation and translation transformation using closed form solution applied to find the optimized cost function of transformation. we assumed that this algorithm were used in Total Knee replacement (TKR) operation. Accordingly, we have developed region-based 3D registration technique based on anatomical landmarks and this registration algorithm was evaluated in a femur model. It was found that region-based algorithm can improve the accuracy in 3D registration.

This paper is to investigate experimentally an effect of carbon amino silica black-superplasticizer(CASB-SP)on the engineering properties and chromaticity of black color concrete with 0.45 of W/C(water to cement). CASB-SP and carbon black were applied for pigment of the concrete. To prevent efflorescence of concrete, four different water repellent agents were also applied. As results, it was found that use of CASB-SP increased the slump and air contents. Furthermore, the use of CASB-SP increased the compressive strength. As CASB-SP dosages increased, chromaticity was well developed. For the effect of water repellent agent, the use of epoxy type was effective for protection from efflorescence. Based on test results, it was evaluated that 0.5% of CASB-SP effectively improve the concrete quality as well as enhance the chromaticity with proper dosage.

The objective of this study was to prepare hydrogel beads which were useful microbial immobilization to remove nitrogen and phosphorous in the industrial wastewater. Two different polyols(PEG, PTMG) terminated with photo-crosslinkable methacrylate groups were synthesized. Structures of the prepolymers and the UV cured hydrogels were characterized by using $^1H$-NMR and FT-IR spectroscopy. Water content, mechanical strength and pore sizes of the hydrogels having different MW of polyols and different ratios of PEG/PTMG were investigated. Hydrogels prepared from PEG(MW1000) only or the mixture of PEG(MW1000) and PTMG(MW2900) with 7:3 by weight were considered as potential candidates for the matrix for the immobilization of microorganism.

Hydroxypropyl chitin(HPCH) was prepared from chitin by reacting it with propylene oxide. The formation of liquid crystalline character of HPCH was investigated using halogenated organic solvents. Solid state $^{13}C$ NMR spectra for chitin and HPCH confirmed the incorporation of hydroxypropyl moiety. The degree of substitution of HPCH was around 0.8 as detected by elemental analysis. WAXD patterns of chitin and HPCH showed that an incorporation of hydroxypropyl unit in chitin contributed to reducing the crystallinity and enhancing the solubility in organic solvents. Polarized light microscopic pictures of concentrated HPCH solution showed that HPCH formed cholesteric liquid crystalline character at about 25w/v% solution in dichloroacetic acid and 1, 2-dichloroethane. Inherent viscosity of HPCH solution in a mixed solvent showed a transient decrease.

We investigated the effects of the addition of Mn and $AB_5$ type alloy on the electrochemical characteristics of Ti-Cr-V BCC type alloys as anode materials for Ni-MH battery. The activation behavior and discharge capacity of the BCC type alloys were significantly improved by ball-milling with the $LmNi_{4.1}Al_{0.25}Mn_{0.3}Co_{0.65}$ alloy, because the $AB_5$ type alloy acted as hydrogen path on the surface of the BCC type alloy. Among the Mn substituted alloys($Mn=0.03%{\sim}0.08%$), the $Ti_{0.32}Cr_{0.38}Mn_{0.05}V_{0.25}$ alloy ball-milled with $AB_5$ type alloy exhibited the greatest discharge capacity of $336\;mAh{\cdot}g^{-1}$. In addition, Mn substituted alloys exhibited the lower plateau pressure in P-C- T curve, the better hydrogen storage capacity and faster surface activation compared with the alloy without Mn.

Multiferroic $HoMnO_3$ single crystal was prepared using 4-point focused floating zone furnace, and polycrystalline $HoMn_{1-x}\;^57Fe_xO_3$ (x=0.00, 0.01, 0.02, 0.05) powders have been prepared by solid state reaction. Their magnetic and crystallographic properties are studied using MPMS, PPMS, and $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectroscopy. The crystal structure found to be a hexagonal and a magnetic easy-axis is (110) direction. As the external applied magnetic field increases, temperature of the dielectric constant anomaly is decreased. $HoMn_{0.95}\;^{57}Fe_{0.05}O_3$ shows huge quadrupole splitting value from the $M\ddot{o}ssbauer$ spectra.

In this work, [$Pb(Mg_{1/2}W_{1/2})_{0.03}(Ni_{1/3}Nb_{2/3})_x(Zr_{0.5}Ti_{0.5})_{0.97-x}O_3-BiFeO_3$] (x=0.02 to 0.12) composition ceramics were fabricated by the conventional soild state reaction method and their microstructure and piezoelectric properties were investigated according to PNN substitution. The addition of small amount of $BiFeO_3$, $Li_2CO_3$, and $CaCO_3$ were used in order to decrease the sintering temperature of the ceramics. The XRD (x-ray diffraction patterns) of all ceramics exhibited a perovskite structure. The sinterability of PMW-PNN-PZT-BF ceramics was remarkably improved using liquid phase sintering of $CaCO_3$, $Li_2CO_3$. However, it was identified from of the X-ray diffraction patterns that the secondary phase formed in grain boundaries decreased the piezoelectric properties. According to the substitution of PNN, the crystal structure of ceramics is transformed gradually from a tetragonal to rhombohedral phase. The x=0.10 mol PNN-substituted PMW-PNN-PZT-BF ceramics sintered at $920^{\circ}C$ showed the optimum values of piezoelectric constant($d_{33}$), piezoelectric figure of merit($d_{33{\cdot}}g_{33}$), planar piezoelectric coupling coefficient($k_p$) and density : $d_{33}=566$ [pC/N], $g_{33}=29.28[10^{-3}mV/N]$, $d_{33{\cdot}}g_{33}=16.57[pm^2/N]$, $k_p=0.61$, density=7.82 [$g/cm^3$], suitable for duplex ultrasonic sensor application.
