전통적으로 항구취 제제로 널리 쓰여 온 세틸피리디늄 및 염화아연이 함유된 양치액은 장기간의 사용에도 부작용이 없이 구취를 효과적으로 감소시키는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 세틸피리디늄 및 염화아연을 주성분으로 한 구강 양치액의 아침 구취에 대한 효과를 관찰하고자 했다. 총 8명의 건강한 남자를 대상으로 crossover study를 진행했으며 1주일의 washout 기간을 두었다. 대상자들에게는 30초간 실험 용액 10 mL를 양치하게 했으며 1주일 후에 같은 방법으로 증류수를 양치하게 했다. 구취의 측정은 오전 8:30 분에 이루어졌으며 양치 전, 양치 후 1시간, 2시간, 3시간에 평가를 하였다. 구취의 평가는 관능구취검사와 이동성 황화합물 측정기(Halimeter)를 이용하였다. 세틸피리디늄과 염화아연을 함유한 구강 양치액은 양치 후 3시간까지 아침 구취를 감소시켰다. 관능구취검사 수치와 휘발성 황화합물의 농도는 실험군에서 시간에 따라 유의한 감소를 보였고 그 감소 양상은 두 군 간에 유의한 차이를 보였다. 결론적으로, 세틸피리디늄과 염화아연을 함유한 구강 양치액은 건강한 대상자의 아침 구취를 3시간까지 유의하게 감소시킬 수 있어 구취제거를 위한 양치액으로 그 효용성이 매우 크다.

Objective: We aimed to evaluate the cell viability and antimicrobial effects of orthodontic bands coated with silver or zinc oxide nanoparticles (nano-Ag and nano-ZnO, respectively). Methods: In this experimental study, 30 orthodontic bands were divided into three groups (n = 10 each): control (uncoated band), Ag (silver-coated band), and ZnO (zinc oxide-coated band). The electrostatic spray-assisted vapor deposition method was used to coat orthodontic bands with nano-Ag or nano-ZnO. The biofilm inhibition test was used to assess the antimicrobial effectiveness of nano-Ag and nano-ZnO against Streptococcus mutans, Lactobacillus acidophilus, and Candida albicans. Biocompatibility tests were conducted using the 3-(4, 5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2, 5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide assay. The groups were compared using oneway analysis of variance with a post-hoc test. Results: The Ag group showed a significantly higher reduction in the number of L. acidophilus, C. albicans, and S. mutans colonies than the ZnO group (p = 0.015, 0.003, and 0.005, respectively). Compared with the control group, the Ag group showed a 2-log₁₀ reduction in all the microorganisms' replication ability, but only S. mutants showed a 2-log₁₀ reduction in replication ability in the ZnO group. The lowest mean cell viability was observed in the Ag group, but the difference between the groups was insignificant (p > 0.05). Conclusions: Coating orthodontic bands with nano-ZnO or nano-Ag induced antimicrobial effects against oral pathogens. Among the nanoparticles, nano-Ag showed the best antimicrobial activity and nano-ZnO showed the highest biocompatibility.

옥살산(oxalic acid)은 기존에 질산을 사용한 carbohydrates의 산화 공정에 의해 얻어질 수 있으며 여러 분야에서 사용되고 있다. 하지만 이 반응은 다양한 질소 산화물을 형성하고 많은 증간 생산물의 분리를 필요로 하기에 복잡하고 환경에 유해하다. 한편, 이산화탄소로부터 전기화학적 방법에 의해 옥살산을 높은 효율로 얻을 수 있는 방법이 제안되었다. 아연 전극 산화에 의해 생성된 Zn²⁺이온과 CO₂ 환원에 의한 oxalate이온의 반응으로 zinc oxalate(ZnC₂O₄)가 얻어진다. 이후 산처리에 의해 옥살산이 생성될 수 있으나 강산과 열을 필요로 한다. 본 연구에서는 CO₂의 전기화학적 전환으로 형성된 ZnC₂O₄을 강산을 사용하지 않고, 간단하고 분리가 쉬운 방법을 적용하여 옥살산으로 전환하고자 한다. 또한, 고부가 물질인 글리콜산으로 더 전환시킴으로써 이산화탄소에서 고부가 물질로의 전환 가치를 높이고자 하였다. ZnC₂O₄를 상온, 상압에서 화학적 방법 및 여과 과정을 통해 효과적으로 Zn(OH)₂ 입자와 oxalate 용액으로 분리하였으며 얻어진 Zn(OH)₂와 oxalate는 전기화학적 방법을 사용하여 각각 Zn, 글리콜산으로 전환되었다.

The voltage profile during discharge of the zinc air battery has very flat pattern until reach to end of discharge voltage. But, when zinc air battery is discharged by high current, the discharge voltage and energy becomes low. Therefore, we focused on effects of catalyst size to solve this problems by increasing active sites of oxygen reduction reaction. The size of catalyst was reduced from 27 to l${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and we examined average discharge voltage, capacity, energy, resistance and characteristics during GSM pulse discharge of zinc air battery with change of current density. And we also measured porosity of the cathode according to the ASTM. So we have got improvement of average discharge voltage and energy when catalyst was minimized and we have got optimum size of catalyst at 5${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films were deposited using atomic layer deposition. The electrical and optical properties were characterized using Hall measurements, spectroscopic ellipsometry and UV-visible spectrophotometry. The electronic concentration and the mobility were found to be critically dependent on the deposition temperature, exhibiting increased resistivity and reduced electronic mobility at low temperature. The corresponding optical properties were measured as a function of photon energy ranging from 1.5 to 5.0 eV. The simulated extinction coefficients allowed the determination of optical band gaps, i.e., ranging from 3.36 to 3.41 eV. The electronic carrier concentration appears to be related to the reduction in the corresponding band gap in ZnO thin films.

Carbothermal reduction has been one of the important processes for the production of ceramic raw materials such as silicon carbide, silicon nitride, boron carbide, etc. The process has also been one of several trials for the recovery of ZnO from ZnO-containing waste. It usually involves two consecutive steps: the evolution of Zn vapor and its oxidation with air. In this study a ZnO-containing raw material is reduced by carbon at $1250^{\circ}C$ and the evolved Zn vapor is oxidized with air, resulting in fine powders of ZnO. computer programs, THERMO and PYROSIM developed by MINTEK, are used to simulate the process thermodynamically and the results are compared with the experimental results. It is shown that the ZnO-containing raw material can be reduced and can form fine ZnO with the yield as high as 98.7% under a proper condition. Based on these results, a process is engineered for the production of ZnO in a rotary kiln at a rate of 3 tons/day. The produced ZnO powders show properties suitable to the usual applications in ceramic industries with a purity of > 95wt% and an average particle size of ∼3${\mu}m$.

The study on the cytotoxicity of heavy metals was carried out to evaluate the cytotoxic effect of those on mouse L929 fibroblast cell in 96-well microtiter plates. The cytotoxicity was assayed by the neutral red, tetrazolium MTT, total protein, micronuclei test. The cytotoxicity of the heavy metals by neutral red and tetrazolium MTT was showed in order, cadmium > zinc > nickel for the cationic metals tested. The effect of metal-metal interaction on the cytotoxicity showed a marked reduction of cadmium toxicity by zinc, to a lesser degree, by nickel. The amount of total protein in treated group added heavy metals was less than that of the control and treated cadmium alone was less than those of combination with nickel or zinc. At midpoint cytotoxicity values of heavy metals, the frequency of micronuclei on the cell treated heavy metals was more than that of control and treated cadmium alone was more than those of combination with nickel or zinc. From those results, it could be suggested that the heavy metals decreased the viability of mouse fibroblast L929 cells in a concentration-dependent manner and have cytogenic toxic effects, but mixed group decreased the cytotoxic and cytogenic toxicity on L929 cells.

Generally, porosity which was formed by pyrolysis of the primer is usually generated in the weld metal in respect of increase of the welding speed. in order to analyze the cause of porosity generation, this study was performed using FCAW(flux cored arc welding) process for three kinds of inorganic.zinc primer. in addition the evaluation by influence of welding method on porosity generation is conducted to compare between FCAW and MAG(metal active gas) welding with the same inorganic zinc primer. As the result of this investigation, not only primer of lower organic binder and zinc but also FCAW process than MAG in fillet welding have been verified the excellent resistance to the porosity generation for horizontal fillet welding.

A manganese dioxide (MnO₂) layer and zinc (Zn) layer are used as the cathode and the anode to develop filmtype manganese battery, in which a stack of a MnO₂ layer, gel electrolyte, and Zn layer are sandwiched between two plastic layers. This paper describes the chemical equation of swelling control upon the film-type manganese battery. We examined the reduction of hydrogen formation, by using calcium hydroxide Ca(OH)₂ as an additive in the electrolyte of film-type manganese battery. The phenomena or an effect of reduced hydrogen gas was proven by cyclic voltammogram, X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS), and volume of hydrogen formation. The amount of H₂ gas generation in the presence of Ca²⁺ ion was reduced from 4.81 to 4.15 cc/g-zinc (14%), and the corrosion of zinc electrode in the electrolyte was strongly inhibited as time passed.
