Aim of the study: Scaffolds are crucial to tissue engineering/regeneration. Biodegradable polymer/ceramic composite scaffolds can overcome the limitations of conventional ceramic bone substitutes such as brittleness and difficulty in shaping. In this study, poly(L-lactide)/hydroxyapatite(PLLA/HA) composite scaffolds were fabricated for in vivo bone tissue engineering. Material & methods: In this study, PLLA/HA composite microspheres were prepared by double emulsion-solvent evaporation method, and were evaluated in vivo bone tissue engineering. Bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell from rat iliac crest was differentiated to osteoblast by adding osteogenic medium, and was mixed with PLLA/HA composite scaffold in fibrin gel and was injected immediately into rat cranial bone critical size defect(CSD:8mm in diameter). At 1. 2, 4, 8 weeks after implantation, histological analysis by H-E staining, histomorphometric analysis and radiolographic analysis were done. Results: BMP-2 loaded PLLA/HA composite scaffolds in fibrin gel delivered with osteoblasts differentiated from bone marrow mesenchymal stem cells showed rapid and much more bone regeneration in rat cranial bone defects than control group. Conclusion: This results suggest the feasibility and usefulness of this type of scaffold in bone tissue engineering.

Mullite-matrix and $Al_2O_3$-matrix composites were fabricated with 30 wt% hydroxyapatite (HA) and tricalcium phosphate (TCP), respectively, as additives to give bioactivity. A diphasic gel process was employed to lower the densification temperature of the mullite matrix to $1320^{\circ}C$. A polymer complexation process was used to synthesize a TCP powder that was fully densified at $1250^{\circ}C$, for application to the matrix. For the HA/mullite composite, HA decomposed during sintering by reactions with the matrix components of $Al_2O_3$ and $SiO_2$, resulting in a mixture of $Al_2O_3$, TCP, and other minor phases with a low densification of less than 88% of the theoretical density (TD). In contrast, the TCP/$Al_2O_3$ composite was highly densified by sintering at $1350^{\circ}C$ to 96%TD with no reaction between the components. Different from the TCP monolith, the TCP/$Al_2O_3$ composite also showed a fine microstructure and intergranular fracture, both of which characteristics are advantageous for strength and fracture toughness.

Conventional piezoelectric lead-zirconate-titanate (PZT) senor has high sensitivity, but it is very brittle. Recently polymer films such as polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and poly(vinylidene fluoride­trifluoroethylene) (P(VDF-TrFE)) copolymer have been used as a sensor. The advantages of polymer sensor are the flexibility and mechanical toughness. Simple process and possible several shapes are also additional advantages. Polymer sensor can be directly embedded in a structure. In this study, nondestructive damage sensitivity of single basalt fiber/epoxy composites was investigated with sensor type and thermal damage using AE and oscilloscope. And AE waveform for epoxy matrix with various damage types was compared to each other. The damage sensitivity of two polymer sensors was rather lower than that of PZT sensor. The damage sensitivity of PVDF sensor did not decrease until thermal damage temperature at $80^{\circ}C$ and they decreased significantly at $110^{\circ}C$ However, the damage sensitivity of P(VDF-TrFE) sensor at $110^{\circ}C$ was almost same in no damage sensor. For both top and side impacts, the difference in arrival time increased with increasing internal and surface damage density of epoxy matrix.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study was to evaluate the microshear bond strength (µSBS) of four computer-aided design/computer-aided manufacturing (CAD/CAM) blocks repaired with composite resin using three different surface treatment protocols. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Four different CAD/CAM blocks were used in this study: (1) flexible hybrid ceramic (FHC), (2) resin nanoceramic (RNC), (c) polymer infiltrated ceramic network (PICN) and (4) feldspar ceramic (FC). All groups were further divided into four subgroups according to surface treatment: control, hydrofluoric acid etching (HF), air-borne particle abrasion with aluminum oxide (AlO), and tribochemical silica coating (TSC). After surface treatments, silane was applied to half of the specimens. Then, a silane-containing universal adhesive was applied, and specimens were repaired with a composite, Next, µSBS test was performed. Additional specimens were examined with a contact profilometer and scanning electron microscopy. The data were analyzed with ANOVA and Tukey tests. RESULTS. The findings revealed that silane application yielded higher µSBS values (P<.05). All surface treatments were showed a significant increase in µSBS values compared to the control (P<.05). For FHC and RNC, the most influential treatments were AlO and TSC (P<.05). CONCLUSION. Surface treatment is mandatory when the silane is not preferred, but the best bond strength values were obtained with the combination of surface treatment and silane application. HF provides improved bond strength when the ceramic content of material increases, whereas AlO and TSC gives improved bond strength when the composite content of material increases.

Metal coating on ceramic powder has long been attracting interest for various applications such as superconductor where the brittle nature of high temperature ceramic superconductor was complemented by silver coating and metalloceramics where mechanical property improvement was achieved via electroless plating. More recently it has become of great interest in embedded passive device applications since metal coating on ceramic particles may result in the enhancement of the dielectric properties of ceramic-polymer composite capacitors. In our study, nickel ion-containing solution was used for coating commercial capacitor-grade $BaTiO_3$ powder. After filtering process, the powder was dried and heat-treated in 5% forming gas at $900^{\circ}C$. XRD and TEM were utilized for the observation of crystallization behavior and morphology of the particles. It was found that the nickel coating characteristics were strongly dependent on the several parameters and processing variables, such as starting $BaTiO_3$ particle size, nickel source, solution chemistry, coating temperature and time. In this paper, the effects of these variables on the coating characteristics will be presented in some detail.

폴리머/세라믹 복합체는 내장형 커패시터(embedded capacitor)의 유전 재료로 많은 관심을 불러 일으키고 있다. 본 논문은 bisphenol-A타입의 에폭시와 직경 0.1~0.9$mu \textrm{m}$의 크기가 다른 6가지 종류의 $BaTiO_3$분말을 이용하여 스핀코팅 방법으로 도포된 epoxy/$BaTiO_3$composite film의 유전상수와 누설전류에 미치는 분말 크기의 영향에 관한 것이다. 전체적으로 $BaTiO_3$입자가 67 vo1% 함유된 Epoxy/$BaTiO_3$composite 필름의 유전상수는 사용한 $BaTiO_3$분말의 크기가 커짐에 따라 증가하였다. 이것은 입자의 크기가 증가함에 따른 입자의 유전상수의 증가 때문이며, XRD분석을 통해 입자의 크기가 증가함에 따라 tetragonality가 증가함을 확인하였다. 복합체 필름의 누설전류도 또한 사용한 입자의 크기가 커짐에 따라 증가하였다. 이와 같은 현상의 원인은 분말의 크기가 증가함에 따라 단위길이 당 입자의 수가 감소하여 전위 장벽의 수가 줄어들고 하나의 전위 장벽에 걸리는 바이어스의 증가로 인한 전위장벽 낮춤 효과의 증대에 따른 것으로 판단된다. 이상의 결과를 토대로 볼 때 큰 입자의 분말을 사용할 때 높은 유전상수를 얻을 수 있는 반면 필름의 누설전류가 커지는 단점을 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 작은 크기의 분말은 이와 반대이다. 따라서 높은 유전상수와 낮은 누설전류 두 특성간의 절충이 요청되며 필요에 따라 적절한 크기의 분말 선택이 중요함을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, an ultrasonic transducer is fabricated with a 1-3 type composite resonator. Pulse-echo responses of an ultrasonic transducer are investigated in underwater with the designated water-levels. LED output signals of a level limit switch with changing a water level are obtained by using the currently developed self-made 1-3 type composite transducer and electric measuring unit. LED is turned on at above the up-limit level with increasing a water level, and LED is turned on at less than the down-limit level with decreasing a water level.

본 연구에서는 카본나노튜브(CNT) 면상발열체에 preceramic polymer 중 하나인 실세스퀴아잔을 코팅하여 고온에서 안정적인 발열이 가능한 CNT/SiCN 복합체 시트를 제조하였다. 제조된 복합체 필름은 FE-SEM을 통해 실세스퀴아잔이 CNT 면상발열체의 표면을 모두 코팅한 것을 확인하였다. 또한 800℃의 열처리를 통해 실세 스퀴아잔이 SiCN 세라믹으로 전환되어도 표면의 결함이 발견되지 않고 온전한 구조를 유지하는 것을 확인하였다. CNT/SiCN 복합체 시트는 질소와 공기 분위기 모두에서 기존의 CNT 시트보다도 높은 열적 안정성을 확보할 수 있었다. 마지막으로 제조된 CNT/SiCN 복합체 필름은 대기 중에서 700℃ 이상의 온도로 발열이 가능하였고 발열 후 온도를 식히고 재발열 또한 성공적으로 이루어졌다.
