Aronia (Aronia melanocarpa cv. Viking) contains high amounts of anthocyanins, which are susceptible to heat. This study was conducted to identify an efficient coating material for encapsulating aronia extract to enhance the stability of anthocyanins during cooking. Maltodextrin, maltodextrin+gum Arabic, and maltodextrin+carboxymethyl cellulose were chosen as the coating materials, mixed with aronia extract at a ratio of 2:1, and freeze-dried after homogenization. The encapsulated aronia extract was then used as a sulgidduk ingredient. Sulgidduk prepared with the encapsulated aronia had significantly higher values for redness, anthocyanin retention, total phenolic content, and antioxidant activity compared to sulgidduk prepared with non-encapsulated aronia. In addition, the sensory evaluation revealed that sulgidduk prepared with encapsulated aronia produced better color and taste. These results indicate that the encapsulation of aronia extract improved the stability of the anthocyanins in aronia, and encapsulated aronia can be used as a functional colorant in the food industry.

In this study, hybridization of graphene oxide and metal was carried out by the functional groups containing oxygen and thermal treatment for reduction in order to enhance the electrical conductivity and magnetic properties of graphene materials. Graphene-metal hybrid materials were synthesized using the oxygen-containing functional groups (-OH, -COOH and so on) on the surface of graphene oxide by replacing them with metal ions via ion exchange method as well as thermal reduction. The metals used in this study were Fe, Ag, Ni, Zn, and Fe/Ag, and it was confirmed that metal particles of uniform size were well dispersed on the graphene surface through SEM, TEM, and EDS. All of the metal particles on the graphene surface had an oxide-crystalline structure. To check the electrical properties, sheet resistance of the rGO-metal hybrid sample was measured on the PET film made by the dip-coating, and the specific resistance was calculated by measuring the thickness of the specimen through SEM. As a result, the specific resistance was in the range of 2.14×10-5 and 3.5×10-3 ohm/cm.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the effects of chitosan coating on the attachment, proliferation, functional and morphological change of periodontal ligament cells. Primary human periodontal ligament cells were cultured in dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% antibiotics. In experimental group, cells of 4th to 7th passage were inoculated in the multiwell plates coated with chitosan in concentration of 0.22, 0.2, and $2mg/m{\ell}$. Cell counting and MTT assay were done after 0.5, 1.5, 3, 6 and 24 hours of incubation to evaluate the cell attachment, and then after 2 and 7 days of culture to evaluate the cell proliferation. The alkaline phosphatase activity was measured after 4 and 7 days of culture and the ability to produce mineralized modules was evaluated after 21 days of culture. The results were as follows : 1. The morphology of periodontal ligament cells on the chitosan coating was round or spheric. Round cells were aggregated after 6 hours of culture. Aggregated cells on the chitosan coated surface showed nodule-like appearance after 24 hours of culture and not achieved confluency at 7 days. 2. During early period of culture, the attachment of periodontal ligament cells were inhibited by chitosan coating. Inhibition of cell attachment tended to increase with the concentration of chitosan. 3. At the chitosan concentration of 0.02 and $0.2mg/m{\ell}$, periodontal ligament cells were more rapidly proliferated at 7 days, compared to the control group. At the concentration of $2mg/m{\ell}$, the proliferation of periodontal ligament cells was inhibitied(p<0.01). 4. Alkaline phosphatase activity of periodontal ligament cells was increased in chitosan coated group, especially at the concentration of $0.02mg/m{\ell}$after 4 days of culture.5. Periodontal ligament cells produced mineralized nodules on chitosan coated wells without the addition of mineralized nodule forming materials (ascorbic acid, ${\beta}-glycerophosphat$, dexamethasone). With the addition of mineralized nodule forming materials, periodontal ligament cells produced more mineralized nodules at the concentration of $0.02mg/m{\ell}$, compared to the control. In summary, the attachment, proliferation, cell activity, and alkaline phosphatase activity of periodontal ligament cells depended on the concentration of coated chitosan. Chitosan stimulated mineralized nodule formation by periodontal ligament cells. At the appropriate concentration($0.02mg/m{\ell}$), chitosan could increase alkaline phosphatase activity and stimulate the formation of mineralized nodule by periodontal ligament cells. These results suggest that chitosan can be used as an adjunct for bone graft material, and the matrix of tissue engineering for periodontal regeneration, especially bone regeneration.

The propenyl ether-type monomers which are applicable for cationic photo-polymerization were synthesized by the condensation reaction of mono and di-functional alcohol with allyl bromide. To examine photo-curable reactivity, these monomers were combined with cationic photoinitiator to prepare coating composition. As a result, the initial rate of polymerization of POMB in mono propenyl ether type was 10.2, which was relatively lower than BPOB in di-propenyl ethers type. However, POMB containing 1.5mol% photoinitiator almost quantitatively reacted within 90 seconds. In addition, Sulfonium salt type photo-initiators containing long-alkyl group showed good solubility with monomers and apperaed to have comparatively higher rate of polymerization and conversion ratio when applying DPSA and DPST which have high acidity on all monomers.

For the production of functional $TiO_2$-biodegradable plastic (polybutylene succinate:PBS) composite material with photocayalytic activity, we attempted to prepare $TiO_2$ coatings on PBS substrate by HVOF and plasma spraying techniques under various conditions. The microstructures of coatings were characterized with SEM and XRD analysis, and the photocatalytic efficiency of coatings was evaluated by the photo degradation of gaseous acetaldehyde. The effects of primary particle size and spraying parameters on the formation behavior, photocatalytic performance of the coatings have been investigated. The results indicated that for both the HVOF sprayed $P_{200}$ and $P_{30}$ coatings, the high anatase ratio of 100% can be achieved regardless of fuel gas pressure. On the other hand, the HVOF sprayed $P_7$ coating exhibited a largely decreased anatase ratio (from 100% to 49.1%) with increasing the fuel gas pressure, which may be attributed to much higher susceptibility of heat for 7 nm agglomerated powder. HVOF sprayed $P_{200}$ and $P_{30}$ coatings show better performance as compared to that of plasma sprayed $P_{200}$ coatings owing to the higher anatase ratio. However, the HVOF sprayed $P_7$ coatings did not show the photocatalytic activity, which may result from the extremely small reaction surface area to the photocatalytic activity and low anatase ratio.

Cubic boron nitride (c-BN) is a promising material for use in many potential applications because of its outstanding physical properties such as high thermal stability, high abrasive wear resistance, and super hardness. Even though 316L austenitic stainless steel (STS) has poor wear resistance causing it to be toxic in the body due to wear and material chips, 316L STS has been used for implant biomaterials in orthopedics due to its good corrosion resistance and mechanical properties. Therefore, in the present study, c-BN films with a $B_4C$ layer were applied to a 316L STS specimen in order to improve its wear resistance. The deposition of the c-BN films was performed using an r.f. (13.56 MHz) magnetron sputtering system with a $B_4C$ target. The coating layers were characterized using XPS and SEM, and the mechanical properties were investigated using a nanoindenter. The friction coefficient of the c-BN coated 316L STS steel was obtained using a pin-on-disk according to the ASTM G163-99. The thickness of the obtained c-BN and $B_4C$ were about 220 nm and 630 nm, respectively. The high resolution XPS spectra analysis of B1s and N1s revealed that the c-BN film was mainly composed of $sp^3$ BN bonds. The hardness and elastic modulus of the c-BN measured by the nanoindenter were 46.8 GPa and 345.7 GPa, respectively. The friction coefficient of the c-BN coated 316L STS was decreased from 3.5 to 1.6. The wear property of the c-BN coated 316L STS was enhanced by a factor of two.

Excellent electron transport properties with enhanced light scattering ability for light harvesting have made well-ordered one dimensional $TiO_2$ nanotube(TNT) arrays an alternative candidate over $TiO_2$ nanoparticles in the area of solar energy conversion applications. The principal drawback of TNT arrays being activated only by UV light has been addressed by coupling the TNT with secondary materials which are visible light-triggered. As well as extending the absorption region of sunlight, the introduction of these foreign components is also found to influence the charge separation and electron lifetime of TNT. In this study, a novel method to fabricate the TNT-based composite photoelectrodes employing visible responsive $CuInS_2$ (CIS) nanoparticles is presented. The developed method is a square wave pulse-assisted electrochemical deposition approach to wrap the inner and outer walls of a TNT array with CIS nanoparticles. Instead of coating as a dense compact layer of CIS by a conventional non-pulsed-electrochemical deposition method, the nanoparticles pack relatively loosely to form a rough surface which increases the surface area of the composite and results in a higher degree of light scattering within the tubular channels and hence a greater chance of absorption. The excellence coverage of CIS on the tubular $TiO_2$ allows the construction of an effective heterojunction that exhibits enhanced photoelectrochemical performance.

Funtional metal prototypes are often required in numerous industrial applications. These components are typically needed in the early stage of a project to determine form, fit and function. Recent R/P(Rapid Prototyping) part are made of soft materials such as plastics, wax, paper, these master models cannot be employed durable test in real harsh working environment. Parts by direct metal rapid tooling method, such as laser sintering, by now are hard to get net shape, pores of the green parts of powder casting method must be infiltrated to get proper strength as tool, and new type of 3D direct tooling system combining fabrication welding arc and cutting process is reported by song etc. But a system which can build directly 3D parts of high performance functional material as metal part would need long period of system development, massive investment and other serious obstacles, such as patent. In this paper, through the rapid tooling process as silicon rubber molding using R/P master model, and fabricate wax pattern in that silicon rubber mold using vacuum casting method, then we tranlsated the wax patterns to numerous metal prototypes by new investment casting process combined conventional investment casting with rapid pototyping & rapid tooling process. with this wax-injection-mold-free investment casting, we developed new investment casting process of fabricating numerous functional metal prototypes from one master model, combined 3-D CAD, R/P and conventional investment casting and tried to expect net shape measuring total dimension shrinkage from R/P part to metal part.
