직접적으로 탄소 나노 튜브(CNT) 섬유를 방사하는 기술은 향후 고성능 소재분야에서 유망한 방법이다. 수직으로 정렬된 CNT 어레이에서 직접 방사하는 연구는 보고된 이래 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나, 보고된 CNT 어레이의 대부분은 방사성을 갖고 있지 않다. 이 연구에서는, 방사특성을 향상시기키 위해 촉매, 탄소원등의 조건을 제어함으로써, CNT의 방사성 정도가 CNT 어레이의 형태와 밀접하게 관련되어 있음을 증명하였다. 탄소원인 아세틸렌에 추가 탄소원으로 에틸렌을 첨가함으로서 CNT 어레이의 waviness를 감소시킬 수 있었으며, 이는 촉매의 활성화를 유도하여 CNT축 방향으로의 선형화를 증가시켰다. 또한 이러한 탄소원 조성의 변화는 촉매 입자의 유착(coalescence)을 제어함으로써, 어레이의 밀도 및 합성된 CNT의 직경 과 길이등 물성을 동시에 제어할 수 있었다. 합성된 CNT 어레이는 잘 정렬되어 있으며, 방사 가능한 어레이의 합성조건을 도출할 수 있었다.

Skeletal muscle injury occurs frequently in sports medicine and is the most general form of injury followed by physical impact. There are growth factors which conduct proliferation, differentiation, and synthesis of myogenic prodromal cells and regulate vascular generation for the continued survival of myocytes. The purpose of the present study was to confirm the effects of electroacupuncture (EA) and electrical stimulation (ES) on muscle recovery processes according to vascular endothelial growth factor (VEGF) expression. Eighteen Sprague-Dawley rats were separated into 2 experimental groups and a controlled group. All animals had suffered from crush damage in the extensor digitorum longus for 30 seconds and were killed 1, 3, and 7 days after injury. 30 Hz and 1 mA impulsion for 15 minutes was applied to the EA experimental groups Zusanli (ST36) and Taichong (LR3) using electroacupuncture and the same stimulation was applied to the ES group using an electrical node. Hematoxyline-Eosin staining and VEGF immunohistochemistry were used to ascertain the resulting muscle recovery. There were few morphological differences between the EA and ES groups, and both groups were observed to have tendencies to decrease atrophy as time passed. In the controlled group, gradually diminishing atrophy could be observed, but their forms were mostly disheveled. There were few differences in VEGF expression between the EA and ES groups, and tendencies to have an increased quantity of VEGF with the lapse of time were observed in both groups. In the controlled group, a little VEGF expression could be observed merely 7 days after injury. In conclusion, EA and ES contributed to muscle recovery processes and could be used for the treatment of muscle injury.

본 논문에서는, 구조를 간략히 한 3중 조절형의 DDFS 구동PLL 주파수 합성기를 이용하여 주파수 합성 조절법에 의한 광대역 무선통신시스템으로의 응용을 연구하였다. 제안된 DDFS 구동PLL주파수 합성기는 DDFS에서 위상누적기만을 이용하는 매우 단순화된 구조이므로, 기존 DDFS 구동PLL 주파수 합성기의 경우보다 스위칭 속도가 높으며, 전력소모를 개선시킨다. 그리고 이 제안된 3중 조절형 주파수 합성기는 3가지 주파수 조절 파라미터를 이용하여 넓은 대역의 주파수 범위의 동작이 가능하므로, 광대역 저전력 고속 특성을 갖는 응용에 적합하다. 주파수 조절 파라미터 할당 방법과 그의 결과를 제시하였으며, CSM, IMT-2000, Bluetooth 틴 PCS 시스템, 등 여러 주파수 대역에 응용하는 경우를 보였다.

Background: The purpose of this systematic review was to investigate the effects of topical fluoride gel application on dental caries prevention in the permanent teeth of children and adolescents. Methods: We searched the EMBASE, PubMed, and Cochrane Library databases for randomized controlled trials (RCTs) assessing the effects of self-applied or professionally applied topical fluoride gels in patients <18 years of age; the search was completed on April 1, 2018. All included trials involved an experimental group (fluoride gel application) and a control group (placebo or no treatment). The outcome measures were the D(M)FS and D(M)FT indices, which were compared between the two groups. Review Manager software was used for quantitative synthesis of the final selected articles, and a forest plot was generated via a meta-analysis conducted using a random effects model. Results: The results showed that the D(M)FS and D(M)FT indices were lower in the fluoride application group than in the control group, thus indicating that fluoride gel application was effective in dental caries prevention. We also performed a subgroup analysis to determine whether the effects of fluoride application differed if patients received oral prophylaxis (self or professional) before fluoride gel application. Therefore, the two groups showed slightly larger differences when studies without oral prophylaxis before fluoride gel application were considered; however, the difference was not statistically significant. Conclusion: These findings should be utilized to raise awareness about the caries-prevention effects of topical fluoride application among patients and guardians. Further RCTs should evaluate the effects of fluoride application with or without preceding oral prophylaxis, and appropriate fluoride application guidelines should be developed to maximize the effects of fluoride application in clinical practice.

In this study, we synthesized pH-controlled resorcinol-formaldehyde (RF) gels through the polymerization of two starting materials: resorcinol and formaldehyde. The prepared RF gels were dried using an acetone substitution method, and they were subsequently carbonized under nitrogen atmosphere to obtain carbon xerogels (CX_Y) prepared at different pH (Y). The carbon xerogels were utilized as active materials for coin-type organic supercapacitor electrodes to investigate the influence of pH on the electrochemical properties of the carbon xerogels. The carbon xerogels prepared at lower pH (CX_9.5 and CX_10) exhibited sufficient particle growth, with a three-dimensional network of particles during the RF gel formation, resulting in the development of abundant mesopores. Conversely, the carbon xerogels prepared at higher pH (CX_11 and CX_12) retained densely packed structures of small particles, leading to pore collapse and low specific surface areas. Consequently, CX_9.5 and CX_10 showed high specific surface areas, and provided ample adsorption sites for the formation of electric double layers with electrolyte ions. Moreover, the three-dimensional particle network in CX_9.5 and CX_10 significantly enhanced electrical conductivity. The presence of well-developed mesopores in these materials further facilitated the effective transport of electrolyte ions, contributing to their superior performance as organic supercapacitor electrodes. This study confirmed that pH-controlled carbon xerogels are one of the promising active materials for organic supercapacitor electrodes. Furthermore, we concluded that pH during RF gel formation is a crucial factor determining the electrode performance of the carbon xerogels, highlighting the need for precise pH control to obtain high-performance carbon xerogel electrodes.

$Y_2Ba_1Cu_1O_5(Y211)$ 분말은 출발물질로서 $Y_2O_3(99.9%)$, $BaCO_3(99.9%)$, and CuO(99.9%) 분말을 사용하여 고상반응법과 발화합성법을 이용하여 제조하였다. $Y_2Ba_1Cu_1O_5(Y211)$ 분말에 대한 상형성과 반응속도는 열처리 온도와 반응시간에 따른 시료들을 X-선 회절분석을 이용하여 연구하였다. X-선 회절선으로부터 측정된 전화율($X_{211}$)과 반응특성으로부터 상 형성속도가 분말의 입자크기에 의해 지배되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 발화합성법으로 제조된 Y211상의 활성화에너지(${\Delta}E_a$)는 고상반응법에 의해 제조된 것의 149.46 kJ/mol과 비교할 때 136.42 kJ/mol을 나타내었다. $Y_2Ba_1Cu_1O_5$계에서의 활성화에너지 값은 발화합성법이 고상반응법보다 더욱 효율적인 방법임을 보였다.

${\alpha}$-상 과 ${\beta}$-상 두 가지 종류의 탄화규소(SiC) 입자 표면에 수열 합성 방법으로 ZSM-5 결정을 형성하였다. SiC는 $50{\mu}m$ 이상이 되는 크기의 입자를 사용하였으며, ZSM-5 결정이 SiC 표면에서부터 성장하도록 유도하기 위하여 합성 단계에 앞서 SiC 표면에 산화층을 형성하였으며, 수열합성 온도와 시간을 변화시켜 보았다. 그 결과 ${\beta}$-SiC는 $900^{\circ}C$ 조건에서도 산화막이 형성되었으며, 특히 $150^{\circ}C$ 합성 조건에서 ZSM-5가 ${\beta}$-SiC 표면에서부터 성장하였음이 뚜렷이 관찰되었다. $200^{\circ}C$ 조건에서는 ZSM-5의 결정의 크기가 성장할 뿐 아니라, 시간의 증가에 따라 결정의 형태가 뚜렷해지고 SiC 표면에 도포되는 양이 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Thermoelectric $Zn_{4}Sb_3$ alloy powders were synthesized from elemental powders by mechanical alloying process and consolidated by hot pressing under controlled atmosphere. Single phase $Zn_{4}Sb_3$ was not obtained using a nominal stoichiometric composition, but near single phase $Zn_{4}Sb_3$ with remnant elemental Zn having a relatively high density was produced using a nominally 11.7 $at.\%$ Zn rich powders. Phase transformations during mechanical alloying were systematically investigated using XRD and SEM. Thermoelectric and transport properties were evaluated for the hot pressed specimens and compared with results of analogous studies.

The fabrication, characterization and manipulation of nanosystems brings together physics, chemistry, materials science and biology in an unprecedented way, Phenomena occurring in such systems are fundamental to the workings of electronic devices, but also to living organisms. The ability to fabricate nanostructures is essential in the further development of functional devices that incorporate nanoscale features. Even more essential is the ability to introduce a wide range of chemical and materials flexibility into these structures to build up more complex nanostructures that can ultimately rival biological nanosystems. In this respect, polymers are potentially ideal nanoscale building blocks because of their length scale, well-defined architecture, controlled synthesis, ease of processing and wide range of chemical functionality that can be incorporated. In this presentation, we will look at a number of promising polymer-based nanofabrication strategies that have been developed recently, with an emphasis on those techniques that incorporate nanostructured polymers into devices and that exploit intrinsic polymer properties.
