To improve the filtration efficiency of porous materials used in filters, an extensive specific surface area is required to serve as a site for adsorption of impurities. In this paper, a method for creating a hybridized porous alloy using a powder metallurgical technique to build macropores in an Al-4 wt.% Cu alloy and subsequent surface modification for a microporous surface with a considerably increased specific surface area is suggested. The macropore structure was controlled by granulation, compacting pressure, and sintering; the micropore structure was obtained by a surface modification using a dilute NaOH solution. The specific surface area of surface-modified specimen increased about 10 times compare to as-sintered specimen that comprised of the macropore structure. Also, the surface-modified specimens showed a remarkable increase in micropores larger than 10 nm. Such a hybridized porous structure has potential for application in water and air purification filters, as well as membrane pre-treatment and catalysis.

This article reports a new chemical bath for preparing a mirror-like surface of AZ31 Mg alloy. In order to find an appropriate chemical polishing solution, four different acidic solutions of sulphuric acid, nitric acid, acetic acid and a specially designed mixture of nitric acid and acetic acid were investigated in view of the changes in surface appearance, roughness and dissolution rate of AZ31 Mg alloy. The surface scales on AZ31 Mg alloy were readily removed by all the acidic solutions, but a reflective surface was produced only by etching in the specially designed solution, and only after a specific etching time. The surface roughness increased with etching time in sulphuric acid, nitric acid, and acetic acid, but it lowered after a specific etching time in the specially designed mixture of nitric acid and acetic acid. Dissolution rate of the alloy in the specially designed mixture of nitric acid and acetic acid appeared to be more than twice than that in separate nitric acid or acetic acid. In this work, we recommend the mirror-like surface of AZ31 Mg alloy obtained by polishing for an optimum time in a mixture of nitric acid and acetic acid for following surface finishings, chemical conversion coating, electroplating, electrophoretic painting and anodizing treatment.

As a new approach to analyze grinding energy, this paper introduces a specific grinding energy model based on the average grain. Using this model, grinding characteristics such as specific grinding energy of SM45C were investigated with changing variables such as grain size of CBN, workpiece velocity(v) and apparent depth of cut(Z) in down-surface grinding. From the experimental results, the specific grinding energy decreases as the maximum undeformed chip thickness increases.

This paper presents an experimental study of the effect of cutting tool materials on surface quality when turning hardened steels. Machining tests on a lathe are performed using polycrystalline cubic boron nitride (PCBN) and ceramic tools at various cutting conditions without coolant. From the experiments, it is observed that the radial force is the largest force component regardless the type of tool used. The specific cutting energy for the hard turning is estimated to be considerably smaller than the specific grinding energy. It is also found that cutting force and surface roughness with the PCBN tools are higher and better than those with the ceramic tools under the same cutting condition. It is due that the PCBN tools transfer the generated heat more effectively than the ceramic tools due to their higher thermal conductivity. The optimal cutting conditions for the best surface quality are selected by using an orthogonal array concept.

본 연구에서는, 화학적 표면처리에 따른 카본블랙의 표면, 흡착, 그리고 미세구조의 성질과 물리적 표면 자유에너지를 고찰하였다. 실험적 결과를 통하여, 염기성 용액으로 표면 처리한 경우 pH와 비표면적의 변화 없이 표면 자유에너지의 비극성 또는 극성요소의 증가를 가져왔다. 반면에 산성표면처리의 경우에는 표면특성, 흡착성질과 미세구조의 큰 변화를 확인하였다. 특히, 염기성 처리된 카본블랙은 비극성이나 비표면적의 중요한 인자로 표면 자유에너지의 London 비극성 요소의 증가를 볼 수 있었다. 이는 카본블랙/고무 복합재료에 있어서, 카본블랙이 강화재의 역할 뿐 아니라 분산력 발달에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있기 때문으로 사료된다.

Commercial carbon steels containing 0.2~0.55 wt.----C were plasma-nitrided or plasma nitrocarburized at $550^{\circ}C$ for 21.6Ks using $H_2-N_2$ or $H_2-N_2$-CO mixed gas respectively. The characteristics of hardening and wear-resistance of each treatment were studied and compared. And also microstructure of nitrided layer and nitrides formed in compound layer near surface were studied. All plasma-nitrided steels investigated showed remarkable increase of surface hardness with the increase of carbon content. But nitrocarburized steels resulted in higher surface-hardness than plasma-nitrided steels, which means that nitrocarburized has higher surface-hardening effect. Plasma-nitrided steels showed hardness increase in through-thickness direction near surface. And also nitrocarburized steels showed similar hardness distribution in through-thickness direction to that of plasma-nitrided steel. However, nitrocarburized steels had higher cross-sectional maximum-hardness than plasma-nitrided steels as much as 100Hv. Wear test showed that the amount of specific wear was reduced by both plasma-nitriding and nitrocarburized, showing that the amount of specific wear was not related to the hardness. But non-treated specimen showed that the amount of specific wear was related to the hardness.

그람음성균의 외막은 수많은 생물물리학적 및 생화학적 과정이 작용하여 생존력을 유지하도록 설계되어 있는 세포환경의 가장 바깥 층이다. 세포공학의 발전으로 인해 박테리아의 막 환경을 변경하는 등 유전정보를 원하는 대로 조작할 수 있게 되었고 이는 박테리아를 특정 목적에 적용시킬 수 있게 하였다. 그중 기능성 분자를 박테리아 외막에 표지하는 세포 표면공학은 숙주세포가 특정 외부물질이나 자극에 반응하도록 유도하는 전략 중 하나이다. 기능성 펩타이드 또는 단백질을 세포 표면에 표지하기 위한 방법으로 막 고정 모티프를 융합한 후 세포 내에서 발현하는 방법이 일반적으로 사용되고 있지만 이는 박테리아 시스템에서 발현할 수 없는 외인성 단백질이나 크기가 큰 단백질에는 적용할 수 없다는 한계점이 있다. 박테리아 외막의 구성요소에 자연적으로 존재하는 반응성 그룹과 기능성 물질을 화학접합하는 방법도 있으나 필수 구성 요소의 비특이적 변형으로 인해 세포의 생장이 저해되는 경우가 많다. 본 연구에서는 비천연아미노산 또는 자가결합 도메인을 사용해 대장균의 세포 표면을 부위 특이적으로 형광 표지하는 두 가지의 접근법을 수행하였다. 첫 번째 접근법은 화학선택적 반응성을 지닌 비천연아미노산이 삽입된 펩타이드를 대장균 표면에 발현하여 위치 특이적으로 형광염료를 접합시키는 방법이다. 두 번째 접근법은 자가결합능력을 지닌 이종 이량체 코일-코일에서 유래된 α-나선 도메인을 대장균 외막에 발현하고 녹색 형광 단백질이 융합된 상보적인 α-나선 도메인을 막 표면에 특이적으로 고정하는 방법이다. 제시된 방법들은 위치와 시간이 제어된 방식으로 박테리아 외막에 새로운 기능을 부여하는 방법론으로서 유용하다.

In this study, mercury vapor adsorption behaviors for some kinds of porous materials having various pore structures were investigated. The specific surface area and pore structures were studied by BET and D-R plot methods from $N_2$/77 K adsorption isotherms. It was found that the micropore materials (activated carbons, ACs) showed the highest mercury adsorption capacity. In a comparative study of mesoporous materials (SBA-15 and MCM-41), the adsorption capacity of the SBA-15 was higher than that of MCM-41. From the pore structure analysis, it was found that SBA-15 has a higher micropore fraction compared to MCM-41. This result indicates that the mercury vapor adsorptions can be determined by two factors. The first factor is the specific surface area of the adsorbent, and the second is the micropore fraction when the specific surface areas of the adsorbent are similar.

Activated carbon fibers were prepared from stabilized PAN fibers by chemical activation using hydroxide. The variations in specific surface area amount of iodine adsorption micro-structure and pore size distribution in the activated carbon fibers after the activation process were discussed. In the chemical activation using potassium hydroxide specific surface area of about 2545m2/g and amount of iodine adsorption of 2049 mg/g were obtained at the condition of KOH/fiber ratio of 1 and 800$^{\circ}C$ Nitrogen adsorption isotherms for PAN based activated carbon fibers showed the type I in the Brunauer-Deming-Deming-Teller classification indicating the micro-pores consisting the activated fibers.

The objective of this work was to examine the influence of carbonation on the microstructure of cement materials. Different materials, which were CEM I mortar and paste, CEM II mortar and paste, were carbonated at $20^{\circ}C$, 65 % relative humidity and 20 % of $CO_2$ concentration. The specific surface area and pore size distribution were determined from two methods: nitrogen adsorption and water adsorption. The results showed that: (1) nitrogen adsorption and water adsorption do not cover the same porous domains and thus, we observed conflicts in the results obtained by these two techniques; (2) the CEM II based materials seemed to be more sensible to a creation of mesoporosity after carbonation than the CEM I based materials. The results of this study also helped to explain why observations in the literature diverge greatly on the influence of carbonation on specific surface area.
