Al2O3/metal composites were fabricated by oxidation and reaction of molten Al-alloy into two types of commercial Al2O3-SiO2 fibrous insulation board. The growth rate, composition and microstructure of these materials were described. An AlZnMg(7075) alloy was selected as a parent alloy. Mixed polycrystalline fiber and glass phase fiber were used as a filler. The growth surface of an alloy was covered with and without SiO2. SiO2 powder was employed as a surface dopant to aid initial oxidation of Al-alloy. Al-alloy, SiO2, fiber block and growth inhibitor CaSiO3 were packed sequentially in a alumina crucible and oxidized in air at temperature range 90$0^{\circ}C$ to 120$0^{\circ}C$. The growth rate of composite layer was calculated by measuring the mass increasement(g) per unit surface($\textrm{cm}^2$). XRD and optical microscope were used to investigate the composition and phase of composites. The composite grown at 120$0^{\circ}C$ and with SiO2 dopant showed rapid growth rate. The growth behavior differed a little depending on the types of fiber used. The composites consist of $\alpha$-Al2O3, Al, Si and pore. The composite grown at 100$0^{\circ}C$ exhibited better microstructure compared to that grown at 120$0^{\circ}C$.

Porous mullite-bonded SiC (MBSC) ceramics were fabricated at temperatures ranging from 1400 to $1500^{\circ}C$ for 2 h using silicon carbide (SiC), alumina ($Al_2O_3$), strontium oxide (SrO), and poly (methyl methacrylate-coethylene glycol dimethacrylate) (PMMA) microbeads. The effect of template content on porosity, pore morphology, and flexural strength were investigated. The porosity increased with increasing the template content at the same sintering temperature. The flexural strength showed maximum after sintering at $1450^{\circ}C$/2 h for all specimens due to small pores and dense strut. By controlling the template content and sintering temperature, it was possible to produce porous MBSC ceramics with porosities ranging from 30% to 54%. A maximum flexural strength of ~51MPa was obtained at 30% porosity when no template were used and specimens sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$/2 h.

The polyurethane foam impregnated with 5, 7-dibromo-8-hydroxyquinoline (DBHQ) has been studied to be applied to the quantitative adsorption and recovery of Hg(II) from the aqueous solutions. The adsorption of Hg(II) by DBHQ-OPP foam is due to the chelation between DBHQ-OPP foam and Hg(II) on the foam, forming each colored insoluble chelate with 1:2 mole ratio. The optimum experimental conditions for the adsorption of Hg(II) has been determined. The quantitative recovery of Hg(II) adsorption by the OPP foam and reuse of DBHQ-OPP foam were investigated. Hypothesis on the adsorption and separation mechanism of Hg(II) and DBHQ to the polyurethane foam was proposed.

The present work is concerned with the formation behavior of anodic oxide films on Al7075 alloy under a galvanostatic condition in 20 vol.% sulfuric acid solution. The formation behaviour of anodic oxide films was studied by the analyses of voltage-time curves and observations of colors, morphologies and thicknesses of anodic films with anodization time. Hardness of the anodic oxide films was also measured with anodization time and at different positions in the anodic films. Six different stages were observed with anodiziation time : barrier layer formation (stage I), pore formation (stage II), growth of porous films (stage III), abnormal rapid oxide growth (stage IV), growth of non-uniform oxide films (stage V) and breakdown of the thick oxide films under high anodic voltages (stage VI). Hardness of the anodic oxide films appeared to decrease with increasing anodization time and with the position towards the outer surface. This work provides useful information about the thickness, uniformity, imperfections and hardness distribution of the anodic oxide films formed on Al7075 alloy in sulfuric acid solution.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of welding parameters such as shielding gas compositions welding voltage and welding current on the pore formation in the weld beads of galvanized steel pipes produced with gas metal arc welding. The porosity was evaluated and rated by metallography and radiographic test in terms of weight percentage, number and distribution of pores in weld beads. The porosity increased with increasing welding voltage and current, in which Ar gas produced the most porosity while $Ar+5%O_2$ generated the least porosity. It was found that the porosity could be reduced by selection of the proper gas mixture composition such as $Ar+5%O_2$ and $Ar+10%CO_2$ and by using current (130~150A) and voltage(16~20V).

Electrical resistivity in hydrate-bearing sediments is sensitive to porosity, gas hydrate saturation, gas content, pore fluid composition, and temperature, so electrical measurements such as well logs and electromagnetic surveys have been used to explore gas hydrate-bearing formation. The high pressure tomography cell is designed considering the effect of electrode configuration and electrical shielding on tomography measurements and the safety. The evolution of electrical conductivity during $CO_2$ hydrate formation and dissociation reflects the combined effects of concurrent changes that include ionization of dissolved $CO_2$, temperature-dependent ionic mobility, changes in the degree of saturation, ion exclusion, surface conduction, and porosity changes. Measurements during hydrate formation and dissociation require careful analysis to properly interpret signatures, in particular when out-of plane conductivity anomalies prevail.

알루미늄은 취약한 내식성을 보완하기 위하여 나노다공성의 산화물 피막을 형성하는 양극산화 처리를 주로 활용한다. 이러한 나노다공성 산화물 피막에 소수성 처리와 불용성의 윤활유를 침지하면 표면에 접촉하는 물을 비롯한 다른 유체들의 젖음성을 크게 감소시킬 수 있으며, 이로 인하여 부식성 물질이 다공성 구조물로 침입하는 것을 억제할 수 있다. 따라서 양극산화 피막에 윤활유 침지를 이용하여 알루미늄의 부식에 대한 저항성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있으며, 추가적으로 외부의 물리적인 손상에 대한 치유 능력을 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 성능뿐만 아니라 침지된 윤활유의 내구성은 나노다공성 산화피막의 물리적 형상에 따라 차이가 날 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 나노다공성의 양극산화 피막의 기공 구조를 다양하게 변화시켜 그 형상에 따라서 윤활유를 침지 후 알루미늄 소재의 내식성 및 자기 치유 특성의 차이에 대하여 알아보았다. 기공의 형상은 한쪽 끝이 막혀있는 기둥형, 후처리를 통한 확장된 기둥형 및 침상형의 기공 구조를 제조하였고, 전압제어를 통한 병목 형상의 기공 구조를 구현하여 그 특성 차이를 비교하였다. 기공들이 서로 고립된 형태를 가질수록 윤활유가 안정적으로 산화물에 침지될 수 있으며, 기공의 공간이 클수록 더 많이 윤활유를 포함하여 우수한 자기 치유 특성을 보여주었다. 병목 형상의 가공 구조는 내부의 충분한 크기의 기공 공간과 표면에 작은 기공을 가지고 있기 때문에 우수한 내구성과 자기 치유 특성을 보여준다.

Tyrosinase has two types of enzymatic activities, cresolase catalyzing the hydroxylation of monophenol and catecholase catalyzing the oxidation of o-phenol. Gradual inactivation of the enzyme during the reaction is a barrier to be overcome for the commercial application of the enzyme. Tyrosinase was stabilized by modifying the lysine residue of the enzyme using glutaraldehyde. In addition to that, tyrosinase was also stabilized by adapting the continuous reactor system. In packed bed reactor quinone could be easily removed, so the stability of tyrosinase increased. Borate buffer retarded the reaction rate of catechol to quinone and consequently decreased the tyroslnase inactivation. Tyrosinase immobilizer on controlled pore glass showed significantly enhanced stability in a packed-bed reactor.

This study was carried out in order to investigate the dextran formation and the internal structure of the chitosan-oligisaccharide(COS) Jeung-Pyun during the fermentation. To develop a functional Jeung-Pyun, COS was added to the rice at the level of 0, 2, 4, and 6% to the 2-hour-soaked rice. The pH, dextran and reducing sugar contents of COS batter, specific volume and the internal structure of COS were analyzed as a function of fermentation time. The specific volume of COS peaked at the 3 hour fermentation. The pH values of COS batters reduced with the fermentation time. The dextran content of the control batters peaked at the 7 hour fermentation. In contrast, the dextran contents of COS batters reduced up to 7th hour of fermentation, and then increased slowly until 20th hour of the fermentation process. From the air pore size and distribution of COS observed by SEM, the COS fermented fur 3 hour was judged as the best. It was concluded that COS prevented the fermation of dextran at the early stage of fermentation process.

In this study, hydrogels with fast swelling and high absorbent properties were prepared using biopolymers approved as a food additive and their swelling properties were characterized. To improve the swelling properties of conventional hydrogels, we formed gas bubbles using a foaming agent in the process of preparing hydrogels and characterized in terms of equilibrium swelling ratio, swelling kinetics and cytotoxicity. In particular, alginate hydrogels observed by a digital microscope have an open-pore channels structure with the sizes of hundreds micrometers. Also, the cell viability of all hydrogels were found to be much higher than that of poly(acrylic acid).
