This study aims at the phase-field modeling of the phase transformation in graphitization of the cast iron. As the first step, we constructed a phase-field model including the phases with negligible solubility. Under the dilute regular solution approximation, a simplified version of the phase-field model was obtained, which can be used for the phase transformation related with the stoichiometric phases. The results from the numerical calculation of the phase-field model was in good agreement with the exact analytic solution. The compositional shift due to Gibbs-Thomson effect can be reproduced within 0.5% error in the numerical calculation. The interface velocity, whereas, in numerical calculation of phase-field model appeared to be 15% larger than that from the analytic solution. This error is due to the shift of the interface position in phase-field model from the position with ${\phi}=0.5$.

Recently, heat-resistant aluminum alloy has been re-focused as a downsizing materials for the internal combustion engines. Heat-resistant Al alloy development and many researches are still ongoing for the purpose of improving thermal stability, high-temperature mechanical strength and fatigue properties. The conventional principle of heat-resistant Al alloy is the precipitation of intermetallic compounds by adding a variety of elements is generally used to improve the mechanical properties of Al alloys. Heat resistant aluminum alloys have been produced by CrW homogeneous solid solution to overcome the limit of conventional heat resistant aluminum alloy. From EPMA, it is found that CrW homogeneous soild solution phases with the size of $50-100{\mu}m$ have been dispersed uniformly, and there is no reaction between aluminum and CrW alloy. In addition, after maintaining at high temperature of 573 K, there is no growth of hardening phase, nor desolved, but CrW still exists as a homogeneous solid solution.

정삼투 분리막 용도에 적합한 폴리아미드 복합막의 제조에 있어 지지층의 극성 및 공극률이 폴리아미드 구조 및 정삼투 분리막 투과 성능에 미치는 영향을 살펴보기 위하여 클레쏘킬레이트 금속착물(0.1-0.5중량%)이 함유된 폴리술폰(18중량%) 용액을 상전이 공정을 통하여 지지층을 제조하였다. 제조된 지지층 상에 방향족 폴리아미드 활성층을 제막하였다. 다공성 PSF 지지층 제조를 위하여 상대적으로 낮은 폴리술폰(12중량%) 용액을 이용한 지지층을 폴리에스터 필름상에서 제조한 후 필름을 제거하고 제조된 지지층 상에 방향족 폴리아미드 활성층을 제막하였다. 제막된 시편 중 폴리술폰(18중량%)/금속착물(0.5중량%)로 만들어진 FO막은 유량 9.99 LMH, reverse salt flux 0.77 GMH로 HTI의 상용막(10.97 LMH, 2.2 GMH)과 비교해도 거의 비슷한 유량값과 향상된 RSF 값을 얻을 수 있었다. 캐스팅 용액의 금속착물의 첨가로 활성층 두께가 줄어들었으나 제거효율은 향상되는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

수용성 매체에서 젤-케스팅 공정을 이용하여 용융실리카를 기본으로 하는 다성분계 세라믹 코어 (中子)를 제조하고, 소결조건에 따른 제반 기계적 물성과 알칼리 부식용액에 의한 용출특성을 고찰하였다. 1000cP (at $50sec^{-1}$ ) 이하의 낮은 점도를 갖는 50vol%의 고농도 다성분계 세라믹 슬림의 제조가 가능하였다. 성형체는 안정화시킨 슬림을 몰드에 부어 상온에서 겔화시킨 후 $25^{\circ}C$, 80% 상대습도 분위기 하에서 48시간동안 건조시켜 제조하였으며 건조된 성형체에는 균열이 발생하지 않았다. 세라믹 코어 성형체의 소결온도가 상승할 수록 상온강도, 겉보기 밀도, 수축률은 시편의 기공도와 역비례하여 증가하였다. 세라믹 코어 소결체의 용출속도는 동일한 온도에서 알칼리 부식용액의 농도에 의존하였으며, 소결체의 기공도가 클수록 증가하였다.

Recently, silk sericin has been studied extensively for biomedical and cosmetic applications because of its unique properties, including UV resistance and wound healing ability. For use in applications, sericin is fabricated in various forms including films and gels. However, the mechanical properties of sericin are too weak. In this basic study on improving the mechanical properties of sericin, a silk sericin aqueous solution was separated into two layers by centrifugation. The solution viscosity, molecular conformation, and mechanical properties of each separation layer of the sericin were examined. Sericin from the lower layer had a higher solution viscosity and film mechanical properties (strength and strain) than that from the upper layer, implying that sericin from the lower layer had a higher molecular weight than that from the upper layer. The molecular conformation of the sericin films varied depending on the casting solvent. In aqueous solution, the sericin film from the lower layer showed a ${\beta}$-sheet conformation, whereas that from the upper layer displayed a random coil conformation. All the sericin films showed a highly ${\beta}$-sheet-crystallized state when cast in formic acid, regardless of the separation layer.

1. Introduction : The growth of membrane science was initiated by the invention of asymmetric membrane which can be formed by the technique known as phase inversion. The basic procedure of phase inversion involves casting a thin film of polymer solution onto a suitable substrate followed by immersion in a coagulation bath (quench step). Therefore, events occurring during the quench period, at which time solvent-nonsolvent exchange and eventual polymer precipitation take place, can play a controlling role in the determination of ultimate membrane structure.

Three types of functionalized flexible optical composite films based on Bragg structure porous silicon interferometer have been successfully fabricated by casting a toluene solution of polystyrene onto the free-standing porous silicon. The optical properties of composite films are measured. Surface functionalization of porous silicon is determined by FT-IR measurement. Reflectance and transparence properties of composite films are measured for the possible application of tunable optical filter and indicate that the transmission peak occurred at the identical location where the reflection peak appeared.

The objective of this study is to develop the mechanical properties of an AlSiCu aluminum alloy using the two-step solution heat treatment. The microstructure of the gravity casting specimen represents a typical dendrite structure with a secondary dendrite arm spacing (SDAS) of 40 um. In addition to the Al matrix, a large amount of coarsen eutectic Si phase, $Al_2Cu$ intermetallic phase, and Fe-rich phases is generated. The eutectic Si phases are fragmented and globularized with the solution heat treatment. The $Al_2Cu$ intermetallic phase is also resolutionized into the Al matrix. The $2^{nd}$ solution temperature at $525^{\circ}C$ may be an optimal condition to enhance the mechanical properties of the AlSiCu aluminum alloy.

Small angle light scattering (SALS) and field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) have been used to investigate the effects of alcohol on phase separation of chlorinated poly(vinyl chloride) (CPVC)/tetrahydrofuran (THF)/alcohol (9/61/30 wt%) solution during water vapor induced phase separation. A typical scattering pattern of nucleation & growth (NG) was observed for all casting solutions of CPVC/THF/alcohol. In the case of the phase separation of CPVC dope solution containing 30 wt% ethanol or n-propanol, the demixing with NG was observed to be heterogeneous. Meanwhile, the phase separation of CPVC dope solution with 30 wt% n-butanol was found to be predominantly homogeneous NG. Although the different phase separation behavior of NG was observed with types of alcohol additives, the resultant surface morphology had no remarkable differences. That is, even though the NG process by water vapor is either homogeneous or heterogeneous, this difference does not play a main role on the final surface morphology. However, it was estimated from the result of hydraulic flux that the phase separation by homogeneous NG provided the membrane geometry with lower resistance in comparison with that by heterogeneous one.

We propose a novel stripping solution containing acids (HCl and HNO₃), an oxidant [(NH₄)₂S₂O₈], and complexing agents (NaCl and citric acid) to remove surface passivation layers from 14K gold alloys fabricated using an investment casting process. The optimized solution employing only HCl acid is determined by varying molar fractions of HCl and HNO₃ on 14K yellow gold samples. Stripping properties are also identified for red and white gold alloy samples under the optimized stripping conditions. The removal of passivation layers, weight loss, and microstructure evolution are characterized using Raman spectroscopy, a precision scale, and optical microscopy. The proposed stripping solution effectively removes passivation layers more rapidly than conventional cyanide stripping. Weight loss increases linearly for up to 5 min for all 14K gold alloys. Red gold exhibits the greatest weight loss, followed by yellow gold and white gold. The results of microstructural analysis reveal that the conformal stripping occurs according to time. These results imply that the proposed oxidative chloride stripping might replace conventional cyanide stripping.
