The effects of solid lubricants on wear and friction characteristics of friction materials were studied using a pad-on-disk type friction tester. Friction materials with four different formulations containing different relative amounts of solid lubricants(graphite, MoS$_2$, and Sb$_2$S$_3$) were investigated. Results of this work showed that each formulation with different lubricants had unique friction characteristics. Friction material containing rich MoS$_2$ showed excellent friction stability at different friction conditions. However friction material containing rich Sb$_2$S$_3$revealed high wear of friction materials.

Silver electrode having a high Electrocatalytic activity is oxygen-permeable electrode, in which oxygen ad-atoms are adsorbed and moved toward YSZ electrolyte by bulk diffusion. It is the different point in comparison to usual porous electrodes, especially platinum, which react with oxygen only in TPBs(Three Phase Boundaries). Also ad-atoms at TPBs of Pt are diffused to YSZ electrolyte by interfacial diffusion mechanism. These properties were used for turning down the operating temperature of YSZ from over $600^{\circ}C$ to below $450^{\circ}C$. The different heat-treatment temperature between a working electrode and a reference electrode suppresses the formation of silver oxides and reduces a volatility of Ag as well. Above all, these own characteristics and special processes of Ag improved a long-term stability of a oxygen sensor.

Encapsulation of L-ascorbic acid (vitamin C) within a bio-compatible layered inorganic material was achieved by coprecipitation reaction, in which the layered inorganic lattice and its intercalate of vitamin C are simultaneously formed. The nano-meter sized powders of vitamin C intercalate thus prepared was again encapsulated with silica nano-sol to form a nanoporous shell structure. This ternary nanohybrid of vitamin Clayered inorganic core-$SiO_2$ shell exhibited an enhanced storage stability and a sustained releasing of vitamin C. Furthermore, the nano-encapsulation of vitamin C with inorganic mineral was very helpful in delivering vitamin C molecules into skin through stratum corneum, facilitating transdermal penetration of vitamin C in topical application.

The structure of OLEDs with conventional heterostructure consists of anode, hole injection layer, hole transport layer, light-emitting layer, electron transport layer, electron injection layer, and cathode. NPB used as a hole transport layer and DPVBi used as a blue light emitting layer were graded-mixed at selected ratio. Interface at heterojunction between the hole transport layer and the elecrtron transport layer restricts device's stability. Mixing of the hole transport layerand the emitting layer removes abrupt interface between the hole transport. layer and the electron transport layer. The stability of OLED with graded mixed-layer developed in this study was improved.

Recently, advanced system for water and wastewater treatment is introduced and operated because of water pollution and etc. One of this System makes use of O3(Ozone) for water and wastewater treatment. In airtight concrete structure, waterproofing phase as well as water are affected by strong oxidative O3 in the long-term. For this reason, material stability against O3 is examined. Consequently, the purpose of this study is to find out material stability an object of epoxy resin by way of accelerated O3 testing.

This paper studied the influences of the main design parameter-the expansion angle and the material properties of the self-expansion anterior cruciate ligament fixation device on the contact condition with the bone and the initial stability of the device. Using finite element analysis, the stress distributions of the ring part of the device and the wall of the bone tunnel were calculated. And the micro-migration of the device by the pull-out force was calculated. From the analysis results, it was found that when designing the self-expansion type anterior cruciate ligament fixation device, it is desirable to use the material having higher Young's modulus and to design the fixation device that all wedges uniformly maintain contact with bone to obtain initial stability after operation.

The main purpose of this paper was to investigate the change of rapidly solidified microstructures and dispersoid behavior according to heat-treatment in the Al-Fe-V-Si-(Mn) alloys. It was found that (111) preferred orientation identified by X-ray diffraction and fine subgrain/large grain were observed in the rapidly solidified Al-Fe-V-Si-(Mn) alloys. Cell boundary of the zone A was composed of the microcrystalline, whereas that of the zone B was amorphous. Decomposition of the Al-Fe-V-Si-(Mn) alloys occurred at about $300^{\circ}C$. These alloys exhibited excellent thermal stability at the elevated temperature. Microstructure of the zone B was more stable than that of the zone A. The spherical dispersoid and 5-fold symmetry phase was also more thermally stable than the amorphous structure of cell boundary.

The nonlinear electrical properties and aging characteristics against surge stress of ZPCCL-based varistors were investigated for different sintering temperatures of the range $1240-1300^{\circ}C$. As the sintering temperature increased, the varistor voltage decreased from 732.2 to 53.8 V/mm, the nonlinear exponent decreased from 58.5 to 4.1, and the leakage current increased from $0.38{\mu}A$ to $46.5{\mu}A$. The varistors sintered at $1250^{\circ}C$ and $1260^{\circ}C$ exhibited the high stability against multiple surge, $150A/cm^2(8{\times}20{\mu}s)$. On the whole, the variation rate of electrical characteristics against impulse current stress was gradually increased in order of varistor voltage$\rightarrow$nonlinear exponent$\rightarrow$dissipation facto$\rightarrow$leakage current.

A variety of dyes are commercially available today, there is an ongoing need for new chromophoric systems and low-band-gap materials. For example, near-infrared (NIR) emission has received increased attention for applications in bioassays and medicine while NIR absorption is demanded for laser-welding of plastics or efficient blocking of heat rays. Most of the commercially available NIR materials are not suitable for such purposes owing to their insufficient stability. We have developed a novel NIR-absorbing polyaromatic dye. By extending the system of perylenebis(dicarboximide)s along the molecular long axis, we have obtained the higher homologue pentarylenebis(dicarboximide). We have tried to introduce imide functional group to pentarylene in order to increase chemical and thermal stability.

The relaxation behavior of aligned electric dipoles in a mixed polymer of P2ANS with P(VDF-TrFE) is studied with optical second harmonic generation (SHG). In this work, a macroscopic noncentrosymmetry of the spin coated film was achieved by an electrical poling. The relaxation of induced polar order of nonlinear optic(NLO) chromophores after poling leads to an insufficient long-term stability of NLO properties. In this work, we develop a new technique to suppress such kind of dipole relaxation in a poled polymer. We found that the poled dipoles in a NLO polymer were effectively immobilized by the internal electric field created by a thermally annealed ferroelectric polymer. The long-term stability in a mixed system of NLO polymer/ferroelectric polymer was successively accomplished by a series of thermal treatments applied to the mixed polymer system at a temperature of $140^{\circ}C$ for at least 1hour after poling.
