Statement of problem : Problem of matching the appearance of porcelain restorations with the patient's natural dentition has always been a concern to dental clinicians. Recently, demands for esthetics, even in restorations requiring strength, has brought a revolution to dentistry and increased use of zirconia. Among the various factors, shade and translucency or the core can significantly affect the overall esthetics of the restoration and should be considered when selecting an all-ceramic system. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to spectrophotometrically evaluate the influence of different zirconia systems and core thickness on the final shade of all-ceramic restorations using the CIEL$^*a^*b^*$ system. Material and Methods: Core specimens (n : 20 per group) of In-Ceram Alumina, In-Ceram Zirconia, Digident CAD/CAM Zirconia, Cercon Zirconia were fabricated 20mm in diameter. 10 specimens of each group were fabricated at core thickness of 0.5mm and 0.7mm. These core specimens were veneered with shade Al & A3 porcelain of the recommended manufacturer. CIEL$^*a^*b^*$ coordinates were recorded for each specimen with a spectrophotometer (Model CM-2600d, Minolta, Japan). Color differences were calculated using the equation ${\Delta}E^*=[({\Delta}L^*)^2+({\Delta}a^*)^2+({\Delta}b^*)^2]^{\frac{1}{2}}$. Results : 1. Specimens of core thickness 0.5mm and 0.7mm did not exhibit clinically perceived color difference. 2. Regarding shade reproducibility, In-Ceram Alumina and In-Ceram Zirconia showed significant difference within each group. 3. Cercon Zirconia group showed the highest $L^*$ value and Digident Zirconia group showed lowest $a^*$ & $b^*$ value. 4. Generally the shade difference between materials was higher in the A3 shade group than in the Al shade group. Conclusion: Within the limitations of this study, there was no color difference after increase in core thickness and every all-ceramic system has color characteristics that clinicians have to consider when selecting materials. Also, manufacturers of different porcelain systems must make every effort to achieve color reproducibility.

The (Sr$_{l-x}$.Ca$_{x}$)TiO$_3$(0.05$\leq$x$\leq$0.2) ceramics were fabricated to form semiconducting ceramics by sintering at about 1350[$^{\circ}C$] in a reducing atmosphere($N_2$gas). After being fired in a reducing atmosphere, metal oxides, CuO, was painted on the both surface of the specimens to diffuse to the grain boundary. They were annealed at 1100[$^{\circ}C$] for 2 hours and cooled to room temperature. The grain boundary was composed of the continuous insulating layers. The capacitance changes slowly and almost linearly in the temperature region of -30~+85[$^{\circ}C$]. The capacitance characteristics appears a stable value within $\pm$10[%]. The conduction mechanism of the specimens observed in the temperature range of 25~125[$^{\circ}C$], and is divined into three regions haying different mechanism as the current increased: the region I below 230[V/cm] shows the ohmic conduction. The region II can be explained by the Poole-Frenkel emission theory, and the region III is dominated by the tunneling effect.ect.

The electrospinning process was established as a promising method to fabricate nano and micro-textured scaffolds for tissue engineering applications. A BCP-loaded PCL micro-textured scaffold thus can be a viable option. The biocompatibility as well as the mechanical properties of such scaffold materials should be optimized for this purpose. In this study, a composite scaffold of poly ($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (PCL)-biphase calcium phosphate (BCP) was successfully fabricated by electrospinning. EDS and XRD data show successful loading of BCP nano particles in the PCL fibers. Morphological characterization of fibers shows that with a higher loaded BCP content the fiber surface was rougher and the diameter was approximately 1 to 7 ${\mu}m$. Tensile modulus and ultimate tensile stress reached their highest values in the PCL- 10 wt% BCP composite. When content of nano ceramic particles was low, they were dispersed in the fibers as reinforcements for the polymer matrix. However, at a high content of ceramic particles, the particles tend to agglomerate and lead to decreasing tensile modulus and ultimate stress of the PCL-BCP composite mats. Therefore, the use of nano BCP content for distribution in fiber polymer using BCP for reinforcement is limited. Tensile strain decreased with increasing content of BCP loading. From in vitro study using MG-63 osteoblast cells and L-929 fibroblast like cells, it was confirmed that electrospun PCL-BCP composite mats were biocompatible and that spreading behavior was good. As BCP content increased, the area of cell spreading on the surface of the mats also increased. Cells showed the best adherence on the surface of composite mats at 50 wt% BCP for both L-929 fibroblast-like cells and MG-63 osteoblast cell. PCL- BCP composites are a promising material for application in bone scaffolds.

Objectives: Yttria-stabilized tetragonal phase zirconia has been used as a dental restorative material for over a decade. While it is still the strongest and toughest ceramic, its translucency remains as a significant drawback. To overcome this, stabilizing the translucency zirconia to a significant cubic crystalline phase by increasing the yttria content to more than 8 mol% (8YTZP). However, the biocompatibility of a high amount of yttria is still an important topic that needs to be investigated. Materials and Methods: Commercially available 8YTZP plates were used. To enhance cell adhesion, proliferation, and differentiation, the surface of the 8YTZP is sequentially polished with a SiC-coated abrasive paper and surface coating with type I collagen. Fibroblast-like cells L929 used for cell adherence and cell proliferation analysis, and mouse bone marrow-derived mesenchymal stem cells (BMSC) used for cell differentiation analysis. Results: The results revealed that all samples, regardless of the surface treatment, are hydrophilic and showed a strong affinity for water. Even the cell culture results indicate that simple surface polishing and coating can affect cellular behavior by enhancing cell adhesion and proliferation. Both L929 cells and BMSC were nicely adhered to and proliferated in all conditions. Conclusions: The results demonstrate the biocompatibility of the cubic phase zirconia with 8 mol% yttria and suggest that yttria with a higher zirconia content are not toxic to the cells, support a strong adhesion of cells on their surfaces, and promote cell proliferation and differentiation. All these confirm its potential use in tissue engineering.

[ $Al_2TiO_5$ ]has a high refractive index and good solubility of the chromophore in the $Al_2TiO_5$ lattice, which allows this structure to be a good candidate for the development of new ceramic pigments. However, pure $Al_2TiO_5$ is well known to decompose on firing at $900{\sim}1100^{\circ}C$. However, this process can be inhibited by the incorporation of certain metal cations into its crystalline lattice. In this study, the synthesis of gray ceramic pigment was performed by doping cobalt on the $Al_2TiO_5$ crystal structure. The $Al_2TiO_5$ was synthesized using $Al_2O_3$ and $TiO_2$, and doped with $Co_3O_4$ as a chromophore material. In order to prevent the thermal decomposition during the cooling procedure, MgO was added to samples by 0.05 mole, 0.1 mole, and 0.15 mole as a stabilizer. The samples were fired at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours and cooled naturally. The crystal structure, solubility limit, and color of the synthesized pigment were analyzed using XRD, Raman spectroscopy, UV, and UV-vis. $Al_2O_3$ was available for the formation of $CoAl_2O_4$, which should also be considered in order to explain the small amount of this phase detected in the sample with the higher $Co^{2+}$ content (${\geq}$ 0.03 mole). It was found that the solubility limit of $Co^{2+}$ in the $Al_2TiO_5$ crystal was 0.02 mole% through an analysis of Raman spectroscopy. Through the addition of a pigment with 0.02 mole% of $Co^{2+}$ to lime-barium glaze, stabilized gray color pigments with 66.54, -2.35, and 4.68 as CIE-$L^*a^*b^*$ were synthesized.

$Sr_xBa_{1-x}Nb_2O_6$(SBN, $025{\leq}x{\leq}0.75$) ceramic is a ferroelectric material with tetragonal tungsten bronze (TTB) type structure, which has a high pyroelectric coefficient and a nonlinear electro-optic coefficient value. In spite of its advantages, SBN has not been investigated well compared to other ferroelectric materials with perovskite structure. In this study, SBN thin film was manufactured by ion beam sputtering technique using the prepared SBN target in Ar/$O_2$ atmosphere. SBN30 thin film of 500 ${\AA}$ was pre-deposited as a seed layer on Pt(l00)/$TiO_2$/$SiO_2$/Si substrate followed by SBN60 deposition up to 4500 ${\AA}$ in thickness. SBN60/SBN30 layer was deposited at different Oxygen amount of 0, 8.1, 17, and 31.8 sccm, respectively. The crystallinity and orientation behavior as well as electric properties of SBN60/SBN30 multi-layer were examined. The deposited layer was uniform and the orientation was shown primarily along (001) plane from XRD pattern. The crystal structure and the electric properties depended on the Oxygen amount, heating temperature and was the best at O2 = 8.1 seem, $750^{\circ}C$. In electric properties of Pt/SBN60/SBN30/Pt thin film capacitor prepared, the remnant polarization (2Pr) value was 13 ${\mu}C/cm^2$, the coercive field (Ec) 75 kV/cm, and the dielectric constant 1492, respectively.

VCO(Voltage Controlled Oscillator)는 통신용 단말기의 크기, 성능 및 전력 소비를 결정하는 중요한 부품중의 하나이다. 통신용 기기의 크기가 점점 작아지고 있는 추세이기 때문에 VCO도 특성의 저하없이 점점 소형화 되고 있다. VCO 모듈을 개발하기에 앞서 회로에 사용되는 수동소자(L,C,R)들에 대한 연구가 진행되었다. 이 과정에서 작은 면적을 차지하면서도 동일한 특성을 나타낼 수 있는 패턴을 고안하였고 이를 적용하였다. 자체 개발된 수동소자 library를 가지고 2차원 simulation을 시행하였고 이를 바탕으로 3차원 회로를 구성하였다. 3차원 회로 구성시 VCO 전체 특성에 크게 영향을 주는 소자들은 trimming이 가능하도록 surface 쪽으로 배치하였다. 공진기 부분에서는 저손실의 stripline 구조를 적용하여 높은 Q값을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 과정을 통해 2.3~2.36 GHz에서 동작하는 적층형 VCO를 개발하였다.

고체 산화물 연료전지 전해질 재료인 8YSZ(yttria stabilized zirconia)세라믹 소재의 전기 전도도와 기계적 특성을 동시에 향상시키기 위하여 첨가제로서 Al₂O₃를 사용하고, 방전 플라즈마 소결법을 적용하였다. 제조된 소결체는 1200℃의 소결 온도에서 96% 이상의 밀도를 보이며, 1 ㎛ 이하의 균일한 크기의 결정립들로 구성된 미세구조를 보여주고 있다. 첨가된 Al₂O₃는 순수한 8YSZ의 결정립성장을 억제하여 파괴인성 및 굽힘강도 등 기계적 물성을 향상시키고, 또한 결정립 내부 전도도는 일정하게 유지한 채, 결정립계 전도도를 향상시켜 전체 이온 전도도를 증가시킴을 확인하였다. 이는 방전플라즈마 소결법이 비교적 낮은 온도에서 소결이 가능하여 기존의 소결 방법에서 문제시 되었던 8YSZ내로 Al₂O₃가 용해되는 것이 억제 되었을 뿐 아니라, 결정립계에 존재하는 SiO₂가 Al₂O₃와 반응하여 Al/sub 2-x/Si/sub l-y/O/sub 5/상으로 결정화되면서 결정립계 전도도를 향상시킨 결과로 사료된다.
