  • 본 연구는 신생아 두피 모발의 기저부에서부터 말단부위까지의 외부형태와 모발 가로 직경 대비 모발 표면에 노출된 비늘의 장축 직경 비율을 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 신생아 모발은 두피에 인접한 부위에서 부터 모발의 끝부분으로 갈수록 완만하게 가늘어지는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구에서 모발의 두께가 커질수록 노출된 비늘의 장축 직경 비율은 상대적으로 작아지는 것으로 확인되었지만 모발 표면의 노출된 비늘 장축 직경은 모발의 굵기에 관계없이 비슷한 길이로 나타났다. 결론적으로 가는 모발이나 굵은 모발 표면에 노출된 비늘의 장축 직경은 크게 변화하지 않는 것을 확인하였다.

  • This research examines the feasibility of using laboratory-synthesized nano scale zero-valent iron particles to remove arsenic from aqueous phase. Batch experiments were performed to determine arsenic sorption rates as a function of the nano scale zero-valent iron solution concentration. Rapid adsorption of arsenic was achieved with the nano scale zero-valent iron. Typically 1 mg $L^{-1}$ arsenic (III) was adsorbed by 5 g $L^{-1}$ nano scale zero-valent iron below the 0.01 g $L^{-1}$ concentration within 7min. The kinetics of the arsenic sorption followed pseudo-first-order reaction kinetics. Observed reaction rate constants ( $K_{obs}$) varied between 11.4 to 129.0 $h^{-1}$ with respect to different concentrations of nano scale zero-valent iron. A variety of analytical techniques were used to study the reaction products including HGAAS (hydride generator atomic adsorption spectrophotometer), SEM (scanning electron microscopy) and TEM (transmission electron microscopy). Our experimental results suggest novel method for efficient removal of arsenic Iron groundwater.r.

  • To investigate the effects of co-solvents on the morphology of nano-scale zein materials, zein solutions were electrospun with different co-solvent ratios of EtOH/$H_2O$. Different zein solution concentrations were used to study the effects of the zein content on the electrospun materials. The resulting electrospun materials were all characterized using field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The diameters of the electrospun nanoparticles and nanofibers were found to increase when increasing the EtOH ratio at certain zein concentrations. Furthermore, increasing the zein content changed the morphology of the electrospun materials from nanoparticles to nanofibers.

  • This paper presents the results of a study that was undertaken to optimize the ratio of the components of a new multi-component inhibitor blend composed of orthophosphate/ phosphonates/ acrylate copolymer/ isothiazolone. The effects of newly developed inhibitor on carbon steel dissolution in synthetic cooling water were studied through weight loss tests, electrochemical tests, scale tests, and micro-organism tests. The obtained results were compared to blank (uninhibited specimen) and showed that developed inhibitor revealed very good corrosion, scale, and micro-organism inhibition simultaneously. All measurements indicated that the efficiency of the blended mixture exceeded 90 %. The inhibitive effects arose from formation of protective films which might contain calcium phosphate, calcium phosphonate, and iron oxide. The nature of protective films formed on the carbon steel was studied by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and auger electron spe ctroscopy (AES). Inhibitor used in this study appeared to have better performance for scale inhibition due to their superior crystal modification effect and excellent calcium carbonate scale inhibition properties. The effect of inhibitor on microorganisms was evaluated through minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) test. All kinds of micro-organisms used in this study were inhibited under 78ppm concentration of inhibitor.

  • Scale is formed when hard water is heated or cooled in heat transfer equipments such as heat exchangers, condensers, evaporators, cooling towers, boilers, and pipe walls. When the scale deposits in a heat exchanger surface, it is conventionally called fouling. The objective of the present study is to analyze the process of the fouling formation in a heat exchanger according to different types of water using visualization techniques. In order to experimentally investigate the formation of the fouling, this study built a lab-scaled heat exchanging system. Using the visualization techniques of Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and X-Ray diffraction method, the three dimensional configurations of the fouling formation could be successfully obtained. Based on the experimental results, it was found that the configurations of the fouling formation were different when using tap water compared to river water.

  • The use of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as a reinforcing material in a polymer matrix has increased in various industries. In this study, the flexural behavior of CNT-modified epoxy/basalt (CNT/epoxy/basalt) composites is investigated. The effects of CNT modification with silane on the flexural properties of CNT/epoxy/basalt composites were also examined. Flexural tests were performed using epoxy/basalt, oxidized CNT/epoxy/basalt, and silanized CNT/epoxy/basalt multi-scale composites. After the flexural tests, the fracture surfaces of the specimens were examined via scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to investigate the fracture mechanisms of the CNT/epoxy/basalt multi-scale composites with respect to the CNT modification process. The flexural properties of the epoxy/basalt composites were improved by the addition of CNTs. The flexural modulus and strength of the silane-treated CNT/epoxy/basalt multi-scale composites increased by approximately 54% and 34%, respectively, compared to those of epoxy/basalt composites. A SEM examination of the fracture surfaces revealed that the improvement in the flexural properties of the silane-treated CNT/epoxy/basalt multi-scale composites could be attributed to the improved dispersion of the CNTs in the epoxy.

  • 생물체의 활동 특히 미생물의 활동은 직·간접적으로 전 지구적으로 분포하는 퇴적물 및 암석 내부 광물의 형성 및 변형에 영향을 주고, 일부는 특징적인 생물기원구조를 형성한다. 특히, 특징적인 생물기원구조에 분포하는 광물은 기존에 알려진 무기적 과정을 통하여 형성되기 어려운 환경에서 형성되기도 하고, 무기적 과정을 통하여 형성된 광물과는 다른 물성 및 특성을 나타낸다. 이러한 생물체의 영향을 받아 형성된 생물기원구조에 대해 연구·분석하는 것은 새로운 광물 형성 메커니즘을 규명하는데 필수적이라 할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문은 심해저 망간각 및 해저열수분출공 지역 미생물 매트 시료를 예로 들어, 주사전자현미경 분석을 통한 자연환경에 분포하는 생물기원구조 관찰에 대해 소개하고 분석방법, 장점 및 활용에 대해 설명하고자 한다.

  • Materials on the scale of nanoscale have widely been used as research topics because of their interesting characteristics and aspects they bring into the field. Out of the many metal oxides, zinc oxide (ZnO) was chosen to be fabricated as nanofibers using the electrospinning method for potential uses of solar cells and sensors. After ZnO nanofibers were obtained, calcination temperature effects on the ZnO nanofibers were studied and reported here. The results of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) revealed that the aggregation of the ZnO nanofibers progressed by calcination. X-ray diffraction (XRD) study showed the hcp ZnO structure was enhanced by calcination at 873 and 1173 K. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) confirmed the crystallinity of the calcined ZnO nanofibers. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) verified the thermal oxidation of Zn species by calcination in the nanofibers. These techniques have helped us deduce the facts that the diameter of ZnO increases as the calcination temperature was raised; the process of calcination affects the crystallinity of ZnO nanofibers, and the thermal oxidation of Zn species was observed as the calcination temperature was raised.

  • MEMS 기술이 발전함에 따라 MEMS 공정으로 제작된 미소 구조물들의 검사 및 특성 분석이 매우 중요한 문제로 떠오르고 있다. 그러나 주사 전자현미경(SEM)이나 원자현미경(AFM) 그리고 기계적 표면측정장치 등은 가격적인 측면에서나 방법적인 측면에서 많은 단점을 안고 있다. 본 논문에서는 DVD 광 픽업 장치를 이용하여 미소구조물을 높이를 측정하였다. 미소구조물 시편에서 반사된 빛의 강도를 측정하여 시편의 영상을 만들어냈고 미소구조물의 높이는 포토다이오드에서 측정된 포커스에러신호(FES)을 통해 구할 수 있었다. 제시된 광 픽업 스캐너는 기존 측정 장치와 비교하여 저렴한 비용으로 정밀한 측정이 가능함을 보여주었고, 기존의 기술을 대체할 수 있는 시스템으로 사용될 수 있을 것이다.
