Polyurethane acrylate hybrid emulsions were prepared by seeded polymerization techniques. In the synthesis, seeded polyurethane dispersion containing a carboxylic group was used to endow hydrophilicity to the hybrid emulsion and various acrylates such as methyl methacrylate (MMA), 2-hydroxy ethylmethacrylate (2-HEMA), n-butyl acrylate (n-BA) and acrylic acid (AAc) were used to endow hydrophobicity. The particle size and distribution of various emulsion particles such as polyurethane acrylate hybrid emulsion, polyurethane dispersion homopolymer, acrylate emulsion, and physical blending emulsion were measured by a particle size analyzer. The average particle size of hybrid emulsion was greater than physical blending emulsion. And tensile strength, 100% modulus, elongation, and swelling properties of the polyurethane acrylate hybrid emulsion were studied and compared with those of polyurethane homopolymer, acrylate emulsion, and physically blended compositor, respectively. To improve chemical and physical resistance, this paper review a melamine hardener and compares it for effects on the physical properties of cured coating.

PURPOSE. Although several surface treatments have been recently investigated both under in vitro and in vivo conditions, controversy still exists regarding the selection of the most appropriate zirconia surface pre-treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of alumina (Al) and aluminium nitride (AlN) coating on the shear bond strength of adhesive resin cement to zirconia core. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Fifty zirconia core discs were divided into 5 groups; air particle abrasion with 50 ${\mu}m$ aluminum oxide particles ($Al_2O_3$), polishing + Al coating, polishing + AlN coating, air particle abrasion with 50 ${\mu}m$ $Al_2O_3$ + Al coating and air particle abrasion with 50 ${\mu}m$ $Al_2O_3$ + AlN coating. Composite resin discs were cemented to each of specimens. Shear bond strength (MPa) was measured using a universal testing machine. The effects of the surface preparations on each specimen were examined with scanning electron microscope (SEM). Data were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. The highest bond strengths were obtained by air abrasion with 50 ${\mu}m$ $Al_2O_3$, the lowest bond strengths were obtained in polishing + Al coating group (P<.05). CONCLUSION. Al and AlN coatings using the reactive magnetron sputtering technique were found to be ineffective to increase the bond strength of adhesive resin cement to zirconia core.

This work employs two models to quantify the size-segregated dry deposition fluxes of particle-bound N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , N $H_4$$^{+}$, and S $O_4$$^{2-}$ along the coastal area of Jeju Island based on the chemical composition data of aerosol collected during the springtime of 1995. The two approaches produced fairly comparable results, despite the feature differences between the two models. The modelling results obtained indicated that the mean dry deposition velocity was around 0.4 cm $s^{-1}$ for N $O_3$$^{[-10]}$ , 0.2 cm $s^{-1}$ for N $H_4$$^{+}$, and 0.3 cm $s^{-1}$ for S $O_4$$^{2-}$, and the dry deposition flux varied between 371~1368 $\mu\textrm{g}$ $m^{-2}$ da $y^{-1}$ for nitrate, 28~625 $\mu\textrm{g}$ $m^{-2}$ da $y^{-1}$ for ammonium, and 957~6088 $\mu\textrm{g}$ $m^{-2}$ da $y^{-1}$ for sulfate. Although difficulties in collecting giant and/or fine particles limited the understanding of the mass size distribution of particles and thus the ability to refine estimates of the dry deposition flux for the particulate matter, both models were still able to offer sufficient realism to explain the features of the available data collected from the coastal area of Jeju Island.and.

The chemical engrafting of polymers on particle surface, plays an important role on selective partitioning of micro/nano-particles in the separated layers of liquid media, such as aqueous two phase systems (ATPSs). Three polymers, dextran, poly (ethylene glycol) and albumin were chosen and chemically conjugated to the polystyrene (PS) magnetic microparticle surface. The attachment of long-chained polymer chains which may switch the partition behavior, can be simply performed by S_N2 substitution of various polymers having primary amine functional groups, with p-toluenesulfonyl (tosyl)-activated polystyrene magnetic micro-particles. The surface modification of microparticle was probed by infrared microscopy. The distinctive peak represents N-H stretching vibration mode for microparticles after the reaction and it is common for all three polymers examined. The locations of main peaks are similar for all micro-particles but different and distinguishable in fingerprint region.

Aluminum nitride was hydrolyzed in contact with water, evolving the reaction heat of 172 cal/g within 12 hours to form alumina trihydrates. At 4$0^{\circ}C$ >, amorphous alumina hydrate was easily produced by the spontaneous breaks of AlN particle at the beginning of the hydrolysis process, while bayerite was formed by the dissolution-recrystallization processes of amorphous alumina hydrate at the temperature between 4$0^{\circ}C$ and 6$0^{\circ}C$, and pseudo-boehmite was generated on the surface of AlN particle by the condensation process of the corresponding phase at 6$0^{\circ}C$ <. The longer the hydrolysis timje or the higher the value of pH in solution, the more the bayerite phase was produced. However, pseudo-boehmite was easily generated under the following favorable conditions; when the hydrolysis reaction occured rapidly at the beginning and when the absorption of OH radical on the surface of AlN particle was disturbed by ethyl alcohol in a solution. However, aluminum nitride was hardly hydrolyzed in a solution of pH 2.0.

Visible-light-responding photocatalysts, $N-TiO_2$, were prepared by nitrogen doping onto $TiO_2$. The crystalline structure and morphology, doping state of the prepared photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, FE-SEM, and XPS. The activity of the prepared photocatalysts was examined by the decomposition of methyleneblue. The prepared catalysts were anatase type and the crystallinity was increased with pH. The particle sizes of the prepared catalysts were 5.42, 5.99, 7.58 nm at pH 2.2, 4.7, 9.0, respectively. The particle sizes of the prepared catalysts were slightly increased with pH. The activity of the photocatalysts was directly proportional to the crystallinity of the catalysts. $N-TiO_2$ prepared by nitrogen doping onto $TiO_2$ showed activity under visible light. The doped nitrogen was located not in the lattice but on the surface.

In this study, nano-sized Si-C-N precursor powders were synthesized by Chemical Vapor Condensation Method(CVC) using TMS(Tetramethylsilane: $Si(CH_3)_4$), $NH_3$ and $H_2$ gases under the various reaction conditions of the reaction temperature, TMS/$NH_3$ ratio and TMS/$H_2$ ratio. XRD and FESEM were used to analysis the crystalline phase and the average particle size of the synthesized powders. It was found that the obtained powders under the considering conditions were all spherical amorphous powder with the particle size of 87∼130 nm. The particle size was decreased as the reaction temperature increased and TMS/$NH_3$ and TMS/$H_2$ ratio decreased. As the results of EA analysis, it was found that the synthesized powders had been formed the powders composed of Si, N, C and H. Through FT-IR results, it was found that the synthesized powders were Si-C-N precursor powders with Si-C, Si-N and C-N bonds.

Nickel ultrafine powder have been synthesized by chemical reduction of aqueous $NiSO_4$ with hydrazine at various reaction conditions. The effect of reaction conditions such as the amount of surfactant and reductor, and reaction temperature on the particle size and shape was investigated by the mean of XRD, SEM and SEM-PSA. Experiments showed that the ratio of $N_{2}H_4/Ni$ and the reaction temperature were affected on the particle size of the nickel powder. The average particle size of synthesized nickel powder increased with increasing reaction temperature regardless of the ratio of $N_{2}H_4/Ni$. Also the surfactant could influence the size and agglomeration of ultrafine powder with the reaction temperature.

The team orienteering problem (TOP) or the multiple tour maximum collection problem can be considered as a generic model that can be applied to a number of challenging applications in logistics, tourism, and other fields. This problem is generally defined as the problem of determining P paths, in which the traveling time of each path is limited by $T_{max}$ that maximizes the total collected score. In the TOP, a set of N vertices i is given, each with a score $S_i$. The starting point (vertex 1) and the end point (vertex N) of all paths are fixed. The time $t_{ij}$ needed to travel from vertex i to j is known for all vertices. Some exact and heuristics approaches had been proposed in the past for solving the TOP. This paper proposes a new solution methodology for solving the TOP using the particle swarm optimization, especially by proposing a solution representation and its decoding method. The performance of the proposed algorithm is then evaluated using several benchmark datasets for the TOP. The computational results show that the proposed algorithm using specific settings is capable of finding good solution for the corresponding TOP instance.

Magnetite particles were synthesized by co-precipitation of water-soluble 밀 스케일-derived precursor by various concentrations of (0.5, 0.67, 1, 2 N) NaOH and (0.6, 0.8, 1.2, 2.4 N) $NH_4OH$. It is theoretically known that as the concentration of the alkaline additive used in iron oxide synthesis increases, the particle size distribution of that iron oxide decreases. This trend was observed in both kind of alkaline additive used, NaOH and $NH_4OH$. In addition, the magnetite synthesized in NaOH showed a relatively smaller particle size distribution than magnetite synthesized in $NH_4OH$. Crystalline phase of the synthesized magnetite were determined by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy(XRD). The particles were then used as an adsorbent for phosphate(P) removal. Phosphorus adsorption was found to be more efficient in NaOH-based synthesized magnetite than the $NH_4OH$-based magnetite.
