The ether-type chitin derivatives were synthesized by reacting chitin with chloropropane, propylene oxide and chloropropane diol to form propyl chitin(PPC), hydroxypropyl chitin(HPC) and dihydroxypropyl chitin(DHPC). These derivatives formed a lyotropic cholesteric liquid crystallinity in concentrations over 30 wt% solution in formic acid (99%). Cast films from liquid crystalline solutions were degraded by lysozyme in pseudo-extra cellular tluid(PECF)solutions, at pH 1.2, pH 6.7 and pH 8.2. Three ether-type chitin derivatives rapidly degraded within the first week, and showed a decreased mechanical strength in neutral pH range. Dihydroxypropyl chitin showed the best biodegradation among these derivatives.

Ultrasonic instruments transfer electrical energy to mechanical energy resulting in vibration used for various dental treatments. If we could know the effect of ultrasonic instruments on the dental cements within the cast crown, we could take care when conducting periodontal surgery and when using the ultrasonic instrument to remove cast crown, it would be much more convenient. The purpose of this study was to compare the bond strength of several dental cements according to ultrasonic instrumentation time. In this study 4 types of cements were used to cement the specimens. they were treated with ultrasonic instrumentation for 0-5 minutes and the change in bond strength were statistically compared. The results were as followed. 1. The tensile bond strength of zinc phosphate cement decreased according to the increase in time of ultrasonic instrument and showed significant difference between 0 minutes and the others and between 1 minute and 2,3,4,5 minutes (p<0.05). 2. The tensile bond strength of polycarboxylate cement decreased according to the increase in time of ultrasonic instrument and showed significant difference between 5 minutes and the others and between 4 minutes and 0 minutes (p<0.05). 3. The tensile bond strength of zinc phosphate cement decreased according to the increase in time of ultrasonic instrument and showed significant difference between 5 minutes and the others (p<0.05). 4. The tensile strength of resin cements showed no statistically differences according to the ultrasonic instrumentation time. In conclusion, it is considered that zinc phosphate cements is most affected by ultrasonic instrumentations and resin cement is the least affected. When using ultrasonic instruments the result avove should be used as an index.

Various earth retaining wall methods were used on the domestic construction sites and a cast in place pile (C.I.P) method was mostly applied at deep excavation. Because of a lot of shortcomings in the C.I.P method, a new method using PHC-W earth retaining wall was developed. The earth retaining wall method using PHC-W piles has a lot of advantages including that it is safer than other earth retaining wall methods due to uniform quality and high rigidity. PHC-W was designed to effectively resist lateral earth pressure by alternating cross section of PHC pile. And increment of bending moment and shear strength were verified through KS F 4306 tests, and were increased by 42% and 98% more than KS standards.

To properly prepare teeth, dentists require a direct view of the working area and are often placed in a difficult position, moreover, a high proportion of dentists suffer from headache and back pain. Dentists who make use of the dental mirror and position their patients carefully to gain a proper view report less headache, pain and discomfort in the shoulders. It is recommended that dentists learn the "Home Position(H.P.)" which among the various "Random Position(R.P.)" methods, enables dentists to approach their patients in a stable posture. The purpose of this study was to compare tooth preparation in the H.P. and the R.P., and evaluate the clinical efficacy of the H.P.. Tooth preparation for a full cast crown was performed on the maxillary left 1st molar using the H.P. and the R.P., and the shapes of the prepared tooth surfaces at the two different operating positions were compared. The amount of occlusal reduction, marginal width, height, and axial taper were measured and analyzed. A T-test was performed separately to compare the results of the H.P. and the R.P. with respect to the accuracy of the corresponding tooth reduction. The results were as follows. ; 1. The amount of occlusal reduction was excessive on the mesiobuccal cusp(P<0.05), and deficient on the lingual cusp in the H.P.(P<0.01). In the R.P., this was excessive on the buccal cusp and deficient on the fossa and distolingual cusp(P<0.01). 2. The amounts of marginal width were excessive in all areas except on the lingual and mesial surfaces in the H.P. and lingual surface in the R.P.(P<0.01). 3. The marginal heights were achieved more accurately in the R.P. than the H.P.(P<0.01). 4. Axial surface taper was excessive in all areas in the H.P.(P<0.01). But the axial taper of measured areas was even, and tooth is more like to retain its original axis after reduction. In the R.P., axial surface taper was excessive on the mesial and buccal area, and deficient on the distolingual area(P<0.01), and therefore, the axis of the prepared teeth was tipped in the distolingual direction. 5. The times needed for preparation were 12 minutes and 49 seconds in the H.P., and 11 minutes and 35 seconds in the R.P., and the R.P. was statistically faster(P<0.01). The tooth preparation in the H.P. achieved its goal, in that it enabled the operator to make even tooth reduction. In conclusion, the H.P. system offers an improved method that can be used in clinic after specific training.

p-(2-Vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenemalononitrile 2 and methyl p-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)benzylidenecyanoacetate 3 was prepared by the condensation of p-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)benzaldehyde 1 with malononitrile or methyl cyanoacetate, respectively. Vinyl ether monomers 2 and 3 polymerized quantitatively with radical initiators in γ-butyrolactone solution at 65 ℃. The trisubstituted terminal double bond participated in the vinyl polymerization and radical polymerization of 2 and 3 led to swelling polymers 4 and 5 that were not soluble in common solvents due to cross-linking. Under the same polymerization conditions ethylvinyl ether polymerized well with model compounds of p-methoxybenzylidenemalononitrile 6 and methyl p-methoxybenzylidenecyanoacetate 7, respectively, to give 1:1 alternating copolymers 8 and 9 in high yields. Polymers 4 and 5 showed a thermal stability up to 300 ℃ without any characteristic Tg peaks in DSC thermograms. Alternating copolymers 8 and 9 were soluble in common solvents such as acetone and DMSO, and the inherent viscosities of the polymers were in the range of 0.36-0.74 dL/g. Films cast from acetone solution were cloudy and tough and Tg values obtained from DSC thermograms were in the range of 59-60 ℃.

무전해 니켈도금은 전기 공급 없이 환원재의 화학반응에 의해 도금이 진행되며, 복잡한 형상의 제품에도 균일한 도금 층을 형성시킬 수 있어 널리 적용되는 기술이다. 특히, 전기 니켈도금 층에 비해 무전해 니켈도금 층의 내식성과 내마모성이 우수하여 산업현장에서 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 그러나 해양환경에서 빠른 유속 변화에 의해 발생되는 캐비테이션-침식 방지를 위한 무전해 니켈도금의 적용은 전무한 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 회주철의 캐비테이션-침식 방지를 위해 최적의 무전해 니켈도금 조건을 규명하고, 그 캐비테이션 저항성을 평가하고자 하였다. 무전해 니켈코팅을 위한 모재는 gray cast iron (FC250)을 $19.5mm{\times}19.5mm{\times}5mm$의 크기로 제작하였다. 회주철의 인장강도는 $330N/mm^2$이며, 그 성분 조성(wt.%)은 3.23 C, 1.64 Si, 0.84 Mn, 0.016 P, 0.013 S 그리고 나머지는 Fe이다. 시험편은 SiC 페이퍼 grit #1200까지 연마하였으며, 시험편의 표면 거칠기(centre line average, Ra)는 $1.6-2.1{\mu}m$ 범위 내로 제작하였다. 연마된 시험편은 증류수(distilled water) 세척 후 hot air로 건조하였다. 무전해 도금 전 시험편은 탈지를 위해 아세톤 용액(room temperature, RT)에서 3분간 초음파 세척하고, $90^{\circ}C$의 알카리 수용액으로 5분간 세척하였다. 그리고 표면활성화를 위한 산세척(acid pickling)은 5% sulfuric acid 용액에서 30초 동안 실시하였다. 무전해 Ni-P(electroless nickel, EN) 도금 전과 모든 과정마다 증류수로 시험편을 철저하게 세척하였다. EN 도금을 위한 도금욕(the bath)은 기존 문헌 연구를 통해 조성성분, 도금조건 및 변수들(the parameters)의 적절한 범위를 결정하였다. 도금조로 500mL 비커를 사용하였으며, 모든 시험편은 2시간 동안 EN deposition을 실시하였다. 캐비테이션 실험 결과 EN 도금의 표면경도가 증가함에 따라 캐비테이션 저항성도 현저하게 향상되었다.

Statement of problem : The joints of removable partial denture alloys have failed frequently after routine usage. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mechanical properties of the laser welded Co-Cr alloys. Material and method : For this study 20 Co-Cr specimens were casted and 10 of them were seperated on the middle area and laser welded with Alpha laser welding machine(Siro Lasertec, Pforzheim, Germany). Rest of them which were as cast, were used as a control group. For the section of the experimental specimens, wire cutting machine was used to make a even gap of the all specimens. Laser welding was done with manufacturer's instrunction and tested each specimen by Instron Machine. Tensile strength, 0.2% yield strength and % elongations were recorded. Fractured surfaces were investigated with SEM. Results : The results were as follows : 1. The tensile strength of the laser welded group(617.7MPa) was about 75% of the as cast group(820.4MPa). It had stastically significant differences(p<0.05). 2. The % elongation of the experimental group was 6.6 which was lower than the control group(14.3). 3. Fracture of the experimental group occured in the welded surface and showed many voids. In contrast, the fracture surface of the control group was showed rough surfaces without any voids. Conclusion : The tensile strengths of the as-cast joints were higher than those for the laser welded joints, and the % elongation of the experimental group was lower than the control group. Porosity was found in laser-welded joints.

The purpose of this study was to compare the accuracy between future impression and abutment impression using strain gauges. The master model used in this study was a partially edentulous mandibular metal cast with two fixture analogs on both sides. On the left, two future analogs were parallel, whereas right side, posterior future analog exhibiting a 15-degree lingual inclination. From master cast, 10 impressions were made for each of the three impression methods. The master frameworks was fabricated on the master model, and two-element strain gauge was attached to a master framework. The master framework was seated on each cast, and gold screws were tightened to 10 Ncm using a torque controller AI-1600 strain measurement system was used for strain measuring. Impression methods studied were : Group 1:abutment impression Group 2:fixture impression Group 3:combined impression (anterior:fixture impression, posterior:abutment impression) The results were as followed. 1. The strain values on X-axis and Y-axis according to the three impression methods showed no significant difference. 2. The strain values on parallel and angulated groups according to the three impression methods showed no significant difference. 3. The parallel group exhibited significantly higher accuracy in adaptation than angulated group for all experimental groups (p<0.05). In conclusion, it is considered that accuracy of implant prostheses is more affected by implant angulation than impression methods.
