  • 티타늄과 티타늄 합금은 재료적 특이성 때문에 심장 혈관 임플란트에서 일반적으로 사용되어 왔다. 일찍이 적용된 예로는 인공심장판막, 심박조율기의 보호케이스, 혈액 순환 장치 등이 있다. 하지만 물질유도혈전증(Material-induced thrombosis)은 혈전폐색에 의해 기인한 기능 손실로 심장혈관 임플란트 장치의 주된 합병증으로 존재하고 있으며, 심장혈관 임플란트의 혈전유전자는 심장혈관장치의 발달에 주된 난관 중 하나로 남아있다. 그리고 텍스처 혈액 접합 물질(Textured blood-contacting material)은 1960년대 초반 이후부터 혈액순환 보조 장치의 임상실험에 사용되고 있다. 접합 물질에 내장된 텍스처 섬유조직 표면은 형성, 성장, 안정적 부착, 생물학적 내벽(neointimal layer) 등 유도 혈액(entrapping blood) 성분에 의해 형성된다. 공동(cavity) 형상의 용해 가능한 미립자를 사용하는 SCPL법(Solvent casting/particulate leaching method)은 티타늄 기질 이전에 형성된 폴리우레탄 위에 텍스처(texture)를 생성하기 위해 사용되었다. 또한 콜라겐의 부동화(不動化)에 의한 공동(cavity)은 혈액 접합면에 잔존하기 위한 내피세포를 고정할 수 있는 효과가 있다. cpTi로 층화된 PU 기소공성(microporous)은 구조적 특성과 혈전증 감소를 위한 생물학적 내벽 사용의 잠재성을 평가하기 위한 세포 공동체 실험을 통해서 평가되었다.

  • 금속산화물을 이용한 2단계 산화/환원 반응은 GTL, CTL 의 반응원료인 합성가스 및 수소 생산기술이다. 이 기술은 메탄을 환원제로 사용함으로써 비교적 저온에서 산화/환원 반응을 할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 하지만 반복 사이클의 시연에서 금속산화물의 소결현상으로 인한 활성저하가 이 기술의 문제점 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 2.5 kW Xenon arc lamp 가 설치된 solar simulator를 사용 하였으며, 무기물 다공성 폼 (SiC foam)및 유기물 다공성 폼 (Ni, Cufoam)에 $CeO_2/ZrO_2$ 를 코팅하여 연속적인 합성가스 및 수소 생산 가능성을 알아보았다. 반응 전 후의 $CeO_2/ZrO_2$ 의 결정 구조를 SEM 과 XRD 를 통해 분석하였다.

  • 200-300 nm 직경을 지닌 폴리비닐리덴 플루오라이드 초극세 섬유를 전기방사법으로 제조하였다. 이들을 불응화시킨 후, $800-1800^{\circ}C$ 온도에서 탄화시켜 PVdF 계 탄소나노 섬유를 제조하여 구조 및 기공분석을 하였다. 이들은 20-30 nm 크기의 탄소입자로 이루어져 있으며 탄소나노입자는 1 nm이하의 슬릿형 나노기공을 지니고 있었다. 탄화온도가 증가함에 따라 비표면적은 $1500^{\circ}C$에서 $414\;m^2/g$로 감소하였으나, $1800^{\circ}C$에서는 $1300\;m^2/g$로 급격히 다시 증가하였으며 1 nm 이하의 나노기공만을 지닌 탄소섬유가 얻어졌다. 비표면적 및 기공특성과 수소저장특성을 관계를 조사하기 위하여 Magnetic Syspension Balance(MSB)를 사용한 중량법으로 평가한 이들의 수소저장능은 0.04-0.4wt%이었다.

  • Contamination by bacterial strands is a major problem after bone replacement surgeries, so there is a great need to develop low cost biocompatible antibacterial bioactive scaffolds to be used in bone tissue engineering. For this purpose, nano-zinc doped hydroxyapatite with different zinc-concentrations (5, 10 and 15 mol%) was successfully prepared by the wet chemical precipitation method. The prepared powders were used to form porous scaffolds containing biodegradable Ca-cross-linked alginate (5%) in order to enhance the properties of alginate scaffolds. The scaffolds were prepared using the freeze-gelation method. The prepared powders were tested by X-ray diffraction; transmission electron microscope and Fourier transform infrared analyses, while the prepared scaffolds were investigated by Fourier transform infrared analyses, thermogravimetric analyses and measurement of the antibacterial properties. Best results were obtained from scaffold containing 15% mol zinc-doped hydroxyapatite powders and 5% alginate concentration with ratio of 70:30.

  • We describe a redox-enhanced electric double-layer capacitor (EDLC) that turns the electrolyte in a conventional EDLC into an integral, active component for charge storage-charge is stored both through faradaic reactions with soluble redox-active molecules in the electrolyte, and through the double-layer capacitance in a porous carbon electrode. The mixed-redox electrolyte, composed of vanadium and iodides, was employed to achieve high power density. The electrochemical reaction in a supercapacitor with vanadium and iodide was studied to estimate the charge capacity and energy density of the redox supercapacitor. A redox supercapacitor with a mixed electrolyte composed of 0.75 M NaI and 0.5 M $VOSO_4$ was fabricated and studied. When charged to a potential of 1 V, faradaic charging processes were observed, in addition to the capacitive processes that increased the energy storage capabilities of the supercapacitor. The redox supercapacitor achieved a specific capacity of 13.44 mAh/g and an energy density of 3.81 Wh/kg in a simple Swagelok cell. A control EDLC with 1 M $H_2SO_4$ yielded 7.43 mAh/g and 2.85 Wh/kg. However, the relatively fast self-discharge in the redox-EDLC may be due to the shuttling of the redox couple between the polarized carbon electrodes.

  • A potassium copper hexacyanoferrate (KCuHCF) embedded magnetic hydrogel bead (HCF-Mbead) was synthesized via a facile double crosslinking methods of $Fe^{3+}$ ionic binding and freeze-thaw for effective $Cs^+$ removal. The HCF-Mbead had a hierarchical porous structure facilitating fast access of $Cs^+$ ions to embedded active sites. The adsorbent showed enhanced $Cs^+$ removal properties in terms of capacity (69.2 mg/g), selectivity ($K_d=4{\times}10^4mL/g$, 1 ppm $Cs^+$ in seawater) and stability (>99.5% removal in pH 3~11) with rapid magnetic separation. This study further opens the possibility to develop an efficient material that links the integration of adsorption and recovery.

  • In recent years, thermal insulation coating technology for automotive engine parts has received significant attention as a means of improving the thermal efficiency of automotive engines. One of the characteristics of thermal insulation coatings is their low thermal conductivity, and, materials such as YSZ (Yttria-stabilized zirconia), which have low thermal conductivity, are used for this purpose. This research presents a study of the changes in the microstructure and thermal conductivity of $8YSZ/SiO_2$ multi compositional thermal insulation coating for different compositions, and particle size distributions of suspension, when it is subjected to suspension plasma spraying. To obtain a porous coating structure, the mixing ratio of 8YSZ and $SiO_2$ particles and the particle sizes of the $SiO_2$ were changed. The microstructure, phase formation behavior, porosity and thermal conductivity of the coatings were analyzed. The porosities were found to be 1.2-32.1%, and the thermal conductivities of the coatings were 0.797-0.369 W/mK. The results of the study showed that the microstructures of the coatings were strongly influenced by the particle size distributions, and that the thermal conductivities of the coatings were greatly impacted by the microstructures of the coatings.

  • The microstructure, hardness, and wear behaviors of a High Velocity Oxygen Fuel(HVOF) sprayed WC-CoFe coating are comparatively investigated before and after laser heat treatments of the coating surface. During the spraying, the binder metal is melted and a small portion of WC is decomposed to $W_2C$. A porous coating is formed by evolution of carbon oxide gases formed by the reaction of the free carbon and the sprayed oxygen gas. The laser heat treatment eliminates the porosity and provides a more densified microstructure. After laser heat treatment, the porosity in the coating layer decreases from 1.7 % to 1.2 and the coating thickness decreases from $150{\mu}m$ to $100{\mu}m$. The surface hardness increases from 1440 Hv to 1117 Hv. In the wear test, the friction coefficient of coating decreases from 0.45 to 0.32 and the wear resistance is improved by the laser heat treatment. The improvement is likely due to the formation of oxide tribofilms.

  • In this study, the optical properties, heat transfer capabilities and chemical reaction performance of a methane thermal decomposition reactor using solar heat as a heat source were numerically analyzed on the basis of the cavity shape. The optical properties were analyzed using TracePro, a Monte Carlo ray tracing-based program, and the heat transfer analysis was performed using Fluent, a CFD program. An indirect heating tubular reactor was rotated at a constant speed to prevent damage by the heat source in the solar furnace. The inside of the reactor was filled with a porous catalyst for methane decomposition, and the outside was insulated to reduce heat loss. The performance of the reactor, based on cavity shape, was calculated when solar heat was concentrated on the reactor surface and methane was supplied into the reactor in an environment with a solar irradiance of 700 W/㎡, a wind speed of 1 m/s, and an outdoor temperature of 25℃. Thus, it was confirmed that the heat loss of the full-cavity model decreased to 13% and the methane conversion rate increased by 33.5% when compared to the semi-cavity model.

  • Direct coating of catalyst layer on the $Nafion^{(R)}$ membrane has been optimized in the process of fabrication of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) to enhance the performance of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). In this method, the contact resistance at the interface of the catalyst layer and the membrane was found to be low. The effect of catalyst loading, thickness of membrane and the gas diffusion layer (GDL) with or without the presence of micro-porous layer (MPL) on the performance of the MEA was also investigated. The MEA fabricated by the above-mentioned method exhibited a performance of $147\;mW/cm^2$ and $100\;mW/cm^2$ at $80^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively, with the catalysts loading of $4\;mg/cm^2$.
