The quantity of MgO in the Zirconia of 20wt% Frit has been varied and the sintering temperature has been differentiated to monitor the changes in the mechanical features. The rise of sintering temperature from 1100$^{\circ}C$ to 1300$^{\circ}C$ was followed by higher sintering density. And, at a sintering temperature, the increase of the quantity of MgO was followed by lower sintering density. The bending strength has been lowered as the quantity of MgO increases in the Zirconia of 20wt% Frit, which seems to be because the MgO functions as impurities degrading the mechanical features. In terms of micro-structure analysis, the pore has been greatly enlarged, while the density varied very little, when the MgO of 3wt% was added. The size of pore became smaller as the added quantity of MgO increased larger in the sequence of 5wt% and 7wt%. But, the pore-generating rate became higher as the added quantity of MgO increased in the sequence of 3wt%, 5wt% and 7wt%. Thus, it is possible to summarize that the small quantity of MgO, say, of 3wt%, promotes the grain growth, and the large quantity of MgO, say, of 7wt%, hinders the grain growth. Also, if the quantity of MgO exceeds some level, the MgO hinders substances from moving, which, ultimately, keeps blowholes from becoming enlarged or extinct, and makes pores small and dispersed in broad area. In conclusion, the study on the change in the size of pore shows that the larger the quantity of MgO is, the more the micro pores are, thereby degrading the mechanical features.

The goal of this study is to fill this apparent gap in the area about investigating the effect of porosity distributions on vibrational behavior of FG sectorial plates resting on a two-parameter elastic foundation. The response of the elastic medium is formulated by the Winkler/Pasternak model. The internal pores and graphene platelets (GPLs) are distributed in the matrix either uniformly or non-uniformly according to three different patterns. The model is proposed with material parameters varying in the thickness of plate to achieve graded distributions in both porosity and nanofillers. The elastic modulus of the nanocomposite is obtained by using Halpin-Tsai micromechanics model. The annular sector plate is assumed to be simply supported in the radial edges while any arbitrary boundary conditions are applied to the other two circular edges including simply supported, clamped and free. The 2-D differential quadrature method as an efficient and accurate numerical approach is used to discretize the governing equations and to implement the boundary conditions. The convergence of the method is demonstrated and to validate the results, comparisons are made between the present results and those reported by well-known references for special cases treated before, have confirmed accuracy and efficiency of the present approach. It is observed that the maximum vibration frequency obtained in the case of symmetric porosity and GPL distribution, while the minimum vibration frequency is obtained using uniform porosity distribution. Results show that for better understanding of mechanical behavior of nanocomposite plates, it is crucial to consider porosities inside the material structure.

A two-step plasma-assisted boronizing process was carried out on the AISI 1045 steel substrate to reduce the pore density introduced by a conventional single plasma boronizing process. The specimens were plasma boronized for 1 h at $650^{\circ}C$ and subsequently far 7 h at $800^{\circ}C$ in an atmosphere of $BCl_3-H_2-Ar$. The boride layer thickness was parabolic in boronizing time, a high HV reading of 1540 was found up to the boride layer thickness of $25{\mu}m$. It was found that the morphology of the boride layer prepared by the two-step boronizing process was changed from a columnar to a tooth-like structure and the pores in the borided steel were eliminated completely in comparison to those synthesized by the conventional single boronizing process, implying that it is highly applicable for enhancing the dense and compact coating properties of the low-alloy steel.

연료의 물리의 특성에 따른 직접탄소 연료전지(Direct Carbon Fuel Cell)성능해석을 위해 국내 화력발전소에서 사용되고 있는 석탄 중에서 역청탄(Shenhua coal), 아역청탄(Adaro coal) 각 1종 및 순수한 탄소성분들의 결정체인 탄소 입자(Carbon particle)를 연료로 사용하여 DCFC시스템의 성능변화를 분석하였다. 연료의 물리적 특성에 따른 DCFC의 성능해석을 위해 SEM, XRD 및 BET 분석을 통해 연료의 물리적 특성(표면적, 기공의 크기, 결정립의 크기 및 구조, 구성성분)을 분석하였다. 직접탄소 연료전지는 873 K 이상의 온도에서 작동하는 고온형 연료전지이기 때문에, 성능 해석은 원탄(Raw coal)보다는 일정온도에서 탈휘발 과정이 끝난 촤의 물성 분석이 더욱 중요하다. SEM, XRD 및 BET 분석을 통한 물리적 특성 분석결과를 바탕으로 성능측정 결과를 비교분석한 결과, 연료의 탄소 함량 보다는 표면적과 기공체적이 연료 전지의 성능에 큰 영향을 미치게 되며, 원탄의 물성보다는 촤 상태의 물성에 더 많은 영향을 받는다. 또한 연료전지의 성능은 작동 온도에 영향을 받으며, 온도가 상승함에 따라 성능도 상승하게 된다.

수소형 모더나이트를 불화수소산처리하여 실리카/알루미나의 비가 다른 변형된 모더나이트를 만들고 이를 $\gamma$-알루미나와 혼합한 촉매를 제조하여 미소반응기에서 triphenylmethane (TPM)의 분해반응을 실시하였다. 미세공 구조인 수소형 모더나이트를 불화수소산처리로 탈알루미늄하면 산량은 감소하지만 2차 세공인 중세공이 형성되어 TPM의 분해활성과 2차 분해생성물인 벤젠의 선택성이 향상되었다. 그러나 더욱 불화수소산처리된 모더나이트는 산량 감소와 일부 세공구조의 파괴에 의한 미세공막힘 현상에 의해 분해활성이 저하되었다. 따라서 전처리된 모더나이트상에서 TPM의 분해활성과 벤젠의 선택성은 모더나이트의 실리카/알루미나 비가 17 정도에서 가장 우수하였다. 이들 전처리된 모더나이트를 알루미나와 혼합한 촉매는 순수한 모더나이트 촉매보다 TPM의 분해활성이 더욱 우수하였다. 이는 알루미나의 큰 중세공에서 TPM이 1차 분해반응하고 다음에 모더나이트의 중세공과 미세공에서 분해되는 단계적인 분해반응이 일어나기 때문이다.

KAERI (Korea Atomic Energy Research Institute) fabricated MOX (Mixed Oxide) fuel pellets as a cooperation project with PSI (Paul Scherrer Institut) for an irradiation test in the Halden reactor. The MOX pellets were fitted into fuel rods that included instrumentation for measurement in IFE (Institutt for Energiteknikk). The fuel rods were assembled into the test rig and irradiated in the Halden reactor up to 50 MWd/kgHM. The irradiated fuel rods were transported to the IFE, where ceramography was carried out. The fuel rods were cut transversely at the relatively higher burn-up locations and then the radial cross sections were observed. Micrographs were analyzed using an image analysis program and grain sizes along the radial direction were measured by the linear intercept method. Radial cracks in the irradiated MOX were observed that were generally circumferentially closed at the pellet periphery and open in the hot central region. A circumferential crack was formed along the boundary between the dark central and the outer regions. The inner surface of the cladding was covered with an oxide layer. Pu-rich spots were observed in the outer region of the fuel pellets. The spots were surrounded by many small pores and contained some big pores inside. Metallic fission product precipitates were observed mainly in the central region and in the inside of the Pu spots. The average areal fractions of the metallic precipitates at the radial cross section were 0.41% for rod 6 and 0.32% for rod 3. In the periphery, pore density smaller than 2 ${\mu}m$ was higher than that of the other regions. The grain growth occurred from 10 ${\mu}m$ to 12 ${\mu}m$ in the central region of rod 6 during irradiation.

경화콘크리트는 골재와 시멘트 수화물에 의한 매트릭스 구조로 되어진 다공체이기 때문에 내부에 다양한 크기와 형태의 공극을 갖으며, 공기투과성을 갖게 된다. 이러한 투기성능은 탄산가스의 침투.확산에 따른 중성화속도와 산소와 물의 침투에 따른 철근의 부식속도를 결정하게 되어 철근콘크리트 구조물의 내구성과 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 보고되고 있다. 한편, 중성화속도 및 투기성능은 표면 마감재 및 콘크리트의 함수율에 의해 크게 영향을 받게 된다. 이에 본 연구는 물-시멘트비 및 마감재의 종류, 양생조건이 콘크리트의 중성화속도 및 투기성에 미치는 영향을 검토하고, 양생조건에 따른 함수상태가 투기성에 미치는 영향을 검토하였다. 본 실험결과 중성화속도 및 투기성은 물-시멘트비, 마감재의 유무 및 종류, 양생조건에 의해 크게 영향을 받으며, 콘크리트의 투기계수는 중성화속도계수와 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타나, 향후 중성화속도를 평가함에 있어서 투기계수를 요인으로 추정 가능할 것으로 사료된다.

NiO-coated YSZ powder was prepared using heterogeneous precipitation of Ni hydroxides on YSZ particle surface and high energy milling. The powders were characterized by TG/DTA, XRD, XPS, and SEM. Amorphous Ni precipitate completely decomposed into NiO at $500^{\circ}C$ and the growth of NiO crystallites was constrained by the core particles. Nanocrystalline NiO-coated YSZ core-shell structure powder could be obtained after calcination at $800^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. A core-shell powder compact, due to high sinterability, showed a near theoretical density at $1350^{\circ}C$. After reduction at $900^{\circ}C$, interpenetrating Ni-YSZ microstructure with very uniformly distributed fine Ni and YSZ grains and pores was observed. In contrast, the mechanically mixed oxide sample showed less uniform distribution of pores and larger discontinuous We particles as compared with the core-shell samples.

본 연구에서는 촉매지지체의 내구성과 내산화성을 향상시키기 위해 활성탄소에 SiC층을 형성하는 것에 관한 수치모사가 수행되었다. 이염화이메틸규소(DDS)로부터 탄화규소를 활성탄소 기공의 내부에 침투 증착시켜 기공성 구조를 유지하면서 활성탄소에 SiC층이 형성된다. 여러 다른 증착 조건에서 모사된 탄화규소의 물성을 연구함으로써 지지체 제조의 최적 증착 조건을 결정하였다. 정상상태하의 등온 반응기 안에서 대류, 확산 및 반응을 모사하여 시간의 경과에 따른 증착량, 기공 반경, 표면적의 변화 등을 구하였다. DDS의 농도가 낮고 반응압력이 작을수록 시료 기공내에 고른 증착이 얻어졌다. 또한 기공내부 증착에서 입자외부 표면 증착으로 바뀌므로 기공직경과 표면적들이 어느 시점에서 변곡점을 갖는 것이 관찰되었다.

The power capacitors used as vehicle inverters must have a small size, high capacitance, high voltage, fast response and wide operating temperature. Our thin film capacitor was fabricated by alumina layers as a dielectric material and a metal electrode instead of a liquid electrolyte in an aluminum electrolytic capacitor. We analyzed the micro structures and the electrical properties of the thin film capacitors fabricated by nano-channel alumina and metal electrodes. The metal electrode was filled into the alumina nano-channel by electroless nickel plating with polyethylene glycol and a palladium catalyst. The spherical metals were formed inside the alumina nano pores. The breakdown voltage and leakage current increased by the chemical reaction of the alumina layer and $PdCl_2$ solution. The thickness of the electroless plated nickel layer was 300 nm. We observed the nano pores in the interface between the alumina layer and the metal electrode. The alumina capacitors with nickel electrodes had a capacitance density of 100 $nF/cm^2$, dielectric loss of 0.01, breakdown voltage of 0.7MV/cm and leakage current of $10^4{\mu}A$.
