The purpose of this study is to characterize various electrolytes on electrochemical mechanical planarization (ECMP). The ECMP system was modified from conventional CMP system to measure the potentiodynamic curve and removal rate of Cu. The potentiodynamic curves were measured in static and dynamic states in investigated electrolytes using a potentiostat for the evaluation of the polishing behavior on ECMP. KOH (alkaline) and $NaNO_3$ (salt) were selected as electrolytes which have high conductivity. In static and dynamic states, the corrosion potential decreased and the corrosion current increased as a function of the electrolyte concentration. But, the electrochemical reaction was prevented by mechanical polishing effect in the dynamic state. The static etch and removal rate were measured as functions of concentration and applied voltage. When $NaNO_3$ was used, the dissolution was much faster than that of KOH. It was concluded that the removal rate was strongly depended on electrochemical dissolution. The removal rate increased up to 350 nm/min in $NaNO_3$ based electrolyte.

Chloride is one of the most common threats to reinforced concrete (RC) durability. Alkaline environment of concrete makes a passive layer on the surface of reinforcement bars that prevents the bar from corrosion. However, when the chloride concentration amount at the reinforcement bar reaches a certain level, deterioration of the passive protection layer occurs, causing corrosion and ultimately reducing the structure's safety and durability. Therefore, understanding the chloride diffusion and its prediction are important to evaluate the safety and durability of RC structure. In this study, the chloride diffusion coefficient is predicted by machine learning techniques. Various machine learning techniques such as multiple linear regression, decision tree, random forest, support vector machine, artificial neural networks, extreme gradient boosting annd k-nearest neighbor were used and accuracy of there models were compared. In order to evaluate the accuracy, root mean square error (RMSE), mean square error (MSE), mean absolute error (MAE) and coefficient of determination (R2) were used as prediction performance indices. The k-fold cross-validation procedure was used to estimate the performance of machine learning models when making predictions on data not used during training. Grid search was applied to hyperparameter optimization. It has been shown from numerical simulation that ensemble learning methods such as random forest and extreme gradient boosting successfully predicted the chloride diffusion coefficient and artificial neural networks also provided accurate result.

철근콘크리트 구조물의 주요 파괴 원인은 철근의 부식에 의한 것으로 철근의 부식에 대한 문제점을 해결할 가능성이 있는 재료 중 FRP 보강근은 그 가능성이 높다. 그렇지만 이와 같은 FRP 보강근은 보강철근과 다른 파괴 메카니즘에 의하여 현저하게 성능이 저하될 가능성을 가지고 있다. 이와 같은 환경에는 알칼리 환경 등이 있다. 따라서 미국, 일본 캐나다 등 많은 나라에서는 환경영향계수를 사용하고 있다. 그렇지만 환경영향계수는 각 나라마다 다르게 적용되고 있는데 이는 FRP 보강근에 대한 장기거동에 대하여 명확한 기준이 제시되어 있지 않기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 FRP 보강근의 환경영향계수를 제안하는데 그 목표를 두고 있다. 환경영향계수는 내구성 시험결과를 기본으로 하여 결정하였다. FRP 보강근은 알칼리 산 염해 등을 포함한 환경조건에 노출하였다. FRP 보강근은 간단한 질량변화를 측정하여 수분흡수 거동을 평가하였으며 역학적 특성의 변화는 인장, 압축 및 전단시험을 통하여 평가하였다. 시험결과를 기본으로하여 하이브리드 FRP 보강근(A)와 (C) 및 CFRP 보강근은 환경영향계수를 0.85로 결정하였고 하이브리드 FRP 보강근(B) 및 GFRP 보강근은 0.70으로 결정하였다.

Purpose: The aim of this study was to evaluate the surface properties and biological response of an anodized titanium surface by cell proliferation and alkaline phosphatase activity analysis. Methods: Commercial pure titanium (Ti) disks were prepared. The samples were divided into an untreated machined Ti group and anodized Ti group. The anodization of cp-Ti was formed using a constant voltage of 270 V for 60 seconds. The surface properties were evaluated using scanning electron microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and an image analyzing microscope. The surface roughness was evaluated by atomic force microscopy and a profilometer. The contact angle and surface energy were analyzed. Cell adhesion, cell proliferation, and alkaline phosphatase activity were evaluated using mouse $MC_3T_3-E_1$ cells. Results: The anodized Ti group had a more porous and thicker layer on its surface. The surface roughness of the two groups measured by the profilometer showed no significant difference (P>0.001). The anodized Ti dioxide ($TiO_2$) surface exhibited better corrosion resistance and showed a significantly lower contact angle than the machined Ti surface (P>0.001). Although there was no significant difference in the cell viability between the two groups (P>0.001), the anodized $TiO_2$ surface showed significantly enhanced alkaline phosphatase activity (P<0.001). Conclusions: These results suggest that the surface modification of Ti by anodic oxidation improved the osteogenic response of the osteoblast cells.

0.1 M NaOH 용액에 PbO첨가양이 증가함에 따라 Alloy 600에 형성되는 산화막의 부동태 피막 특성이 열화되었다. 또한 뚜렷한 2중층 구조의 산화막이 점차 사라지고, 산화막내 존재하는 납의 양이 증가하였다. 산화막 내부 납의 양이 증가함에 따라 산화막 내부 니켈의 결핍이 점차 커졌다. 납에 의해 산화막의 부동태 특성이 약화됨에 따라, 응력부식균열 저항성 또한 급감하였을 것으로 판단된다.

아연 전극은 고농도의 KOH전해질 용액의 알카리 전지용 양극재료로 폭넓게 이용되고 있다. 그러나 급속한 전기화학적 반응과 높은 용해도에 의한 수지상의 생성에 의해 사이클 수명이 현저하게 짧아지는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 용액온도 $25^{\circ}C$의 $40wt.\%$ KOH 전해질에 $Ca(OH)_2$, Citrate, Tartrate 및 Gluconate 등의 첨가제를 첨가하고 그리고 $Pb_3O_4\;5wt\%$를 아연 전극에 혼합하였을 때 아연 전극의 전기화학적 거동에 미치는 Pb,04와 첨가제의 효과를 동전위 분극 곡선, 순환전위전해분석법, 가속수명시험 및 SEM사진 분석을 통하여 고찰하였다. $Pb_3O_4$의 첨가는 아연 전극의 부식 속도를 확실히 감소시키는 효과가 있었으며 그리고 $Pb_3O_4$의 첨가에 의한 아연 전극의 부식 전위는 순수아연 전극에 비하여 다소 높았으나 개로 전압에는 거의 영향이 없었다. 그리고 4가지 종류의 첨가제는 내식성과 가속 수명시험시의 사이클 수명을 향상시키는 데 중요한 역할을 하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 더욱이 Tartrate 첨가는 4가지 종류의 첨가제 중에서 상대적으로 충방전 특성을 개선할 뿐 아니라 양호한 내식성 효과가 확인되었다.

자동차 산업에서의 도장 외관은 아주 중요하다. 이러한 도장외관의 향상을 위해서 기본적으로 도막의 내식성과 밀착성이 해결되어야 한다. 도막의 물성의 향상을 위해서 금속의 화성피막은 매우 중요한 요소가 되고 있다. 전착도장 중 음극에서의 pH는 12 정도까지 증가하고, 이 같은 강알카리 조건에서 금속과 화성피막의 용해가 일어난다. 이 같은 현상의 화성피막과 소재사이의 결합력을 감소시키게 된다. 일반적으로 인산염 피막구조는 hopeite 및 phosphphylife 구조를 갖지만 hopeite 피막 구조보다는 phosphophyllite 피막구조가 내식성이 보다 우수하고, 양이온 전착도료에 의한 전착도장에서 강알카리화된 계면에서 피막의 알카리 용해성이 적어 내수밀착성의 향상을 보인다. Ni, Mn 등의 보조금속의 첨가는 P-ratio (phosphophyllite/ hopeite + phosphophyllite)를 증가시키므로 내수 밀착성과 내식성을 향상시키게 됨을 알 수 있었다.

Strong oxidizing biocides are commonly used to control biofilm formation in alkaline papermaking systems. However, paper streams contain many substances that react with or consume oxidizers (e.g., fiber and starch, Therefore, to achieve effective microbiological control, the oxidizer must be overfed to overcome the effect of these substances. When dosed in this manner, the oxidizer can cause many unwanted reactions and adverse side effects, including the consumption of costly papermaking additives increased corrosion rates, and reduced felt life. Some oxidizers also contribute to the formation of halogenated organic compounds. When used for biofilm control, strong oxidizers can cause more problems than they remedy. A patented biocide that effectively controls biofilm without the adverse side effects associated with strong oxidizing biocides is available from Hercules. $Spectrum^{(R)}$ XD3899 Ammonium Bromide Technology, which can be described as a mild oxidizer, is currently used on more than 300 machines globally and has resulted in numerous production and/or machine efficiency records since its introduction in 2001.

Developing oxygen evolution reaction (OER) electrocatalysts is essential to accomplish viable CO₂ and water electrolysis. Herein, we report the fabrication and OER performance of Ni-foam (NF)-immobilized Ni₆ nanoclusters (NCs) (Ni₆/NF) prepared by a dip-coating process. The Ni₆/NF electrode exhibited a high current density of 500 mA/cm² for the OER at an overpotential as low as 0.39 V. Ni₆/NF exhibited high durability in an alkaline solution without corrosion. Electrokinetic studies revealed that OER can be easily initiated on Ni6 NC with fast electron-transfer rates. Finally, we demonstrated stable CO₂-to-CO electroreduction using an NC-based zero-gap CO₂ electrolyzer operated at a current density of 100 mA/cm² and a full-cell potential of 2.0 V for 12 h.

The use of ion exchange resins to remove ionic impurities from solution is prevalent in industrial process systems, including in the primary heat transport system (PHTS) purification circuit of nuclear power plants. Despite its extensive use in the nuclear industry, our general understanding of ion exchange cannot fully explain the complex chemistry in ion exchange beds, particularly when operated at or near their saturation limit. This work investigates the behaviour of mixed-bed ion exchange resin, saturated with species representative of corrosion products in a CANDU (Canadian Deuterium Uranium) reactor PHTS, particularly with respect to iron chemistry in the resin bed and the removal of lithium ions from solution. Experiments were performed under deaerated conditions, analogous to normal PHTS operation. The results show interesting iron chemistry, suggesting the hydrolysis of cation resin bound ferrous species and the subsequent formation of either a solid hydrolysis product or the soluble, anionic Fe(OH)₃^-.
