The silicone rubber implants are widely used in plastic surgery because of various advantages; however, calcification in surface of implant(as a chemical resistance) may transform or destroy the high molecular biomaterial when it stays too long within the human body. The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between calcification and the histological disparities of the tissues surrounding the area adjoining the silicone nasal implant by examining the regional characteristics of calcium deposits in the silicone nasal implant via elemental analyses using EDX(energy-dispersive X-ray analysis) and ultrastructural analyses using SEM(scanning electron microscopy). The subjects of the study were 19 silicone nasal implants removed by revision rhinoplasty, all displaying calcification. According to the tissue characters, the implant surface was divided into 4 zones with the rhinion as the basis. For each zone, elemental and ultrastructural analyses were performed. Elemental analysis revealed that the calcium deposits consisted of Ca and P only. There were no statistically significant disparities among the ratios between Ca and P according to the zones. Ultrastructural analysis showed acellular mineral-like deposits coalesced to create amorphous deposits in all zones; however, in zones 1 and 3(more pressurized zones by periosteum or nasal bone), additional flaky cylinder-shaped calcium deposits were detected. Thus, it seems that the histological disparities in the surrounding tissues do not affect the components and their proportions in the calcification process. However, it can be inferred that the physical environment due to the histological disparities in the surrounding tissues affects the ultrastructures of calcium deposits.

본 연구에서는 카본 블랙을 오존 처리 후, 표면의 물리 화학적 변화와 표면 작용기 변화를 조사하였다. 표면의 물리 화학적 변화는 원소 분석, PH, tint strength, DBP, $N_2SA$, IA를 통하여 분석하였고, 표면 작용기의 변화는 금속 수산화물과 표면의 산, 염기 반응을 통하여 조사하였다. 산화 전 후 입자의 구조, 크기, 표면적의 변화는 거의 없었으나, 오존 처리 시간이 길어짐에 따라 산소의 함량이 증가하고 그에 따라 pH는 감소하다가 정체되는 양상을 보였다. 금속 수산화물 $NaHCO_3,\;Na_2CO_3,\;NaOH,\;NaOC_2H_5$을 사용하여 표면의 카르복실기, 락톤기, 하이드록실기, 카르보닐기를 각각 정량하였다. 산화 전에는 소량의 카르보닐기만이 표면에 존재하는 것으로 측정되었으나, 오존처리 시간이 길어짐에 따라 카르복실기와 카르보닐기의 양이 서서히 증가하다가 포화 상태에 이르렀다. 락톤기와 하이드록실기는 산화 전 후 거의 표면에 존재하지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 실험 결과는 기존의 에틸렌과 오존 반응 메커니즘에 의해 알려진 실험 결과들과 유사하다. 오존 산화 후에 카본 블랙은 AIBN을 처리하면 무게가 증가하였으며 ESR 분석을 통한 자유 라디칼은 약간 감소하였다. 머캅토 작용기를 가진 유기 화합물과 반응시킨 카본블랙은 자유 라디칼의 피크가 거의 다 감소하였다.

Deterioration of agricultural hydraulic structures(AHS), which are under harsh environmental conditions, is more sever than other ordinary structures. To investigate the deterioration factors of AHS, various physical and chemical analyses are performed. The porosity of AHS increases more rapidly than ordinary structures because they are subject to frequent water permeation and water-soluble materials are easily emitted to surface area. Thus, AHS are tend to be damaged by freezing and thawing more easily due to the increase of water containment inside concrete.

The genus Candelaria is characterized by a micro-foliose to micro-fruticose thallus and contains eight species, two of which were reported in South Korea. During the excursion of a Korean lichen flora investigation, some suspected Candelaria concolor specimens were collected, and their morphological, chemical, molecular phylogenetic, and geographic analyses were conducted. The samples eventually proved to be a new species, Candelaria asiatica, which can be recognized by a small, yellow lobate thallus with a pulverulent surface, and a fragile lobe margin with blastidia or phyllidia-like lobules.

The surface morphology and structural properties of polycrystalline silicon (poly-Si) films made in-situ aluminum induced crystallization at various substrate temperature (300~600) was investigated. Silicon films were deposited by hot-wire chemical vapor deposition (HWCVD), as the catalytic or pyrolytic decomposition of precursor gases SiH4 occurs only on the surface of the heated wire. Aluminum films were deposited by DC magnetron sputtering at room temperature. continuous poly-Si films were achieved at low temperature. from cross-section TEM analyses, It was confirmed that poly-Si above $450^{\circ}C$ was successfully grown on and poly-Si films had (111) preferred orientation. As substrate temperature increases, Si(111)/Si(220) ratio was decreased. The electrical properties of poly-Si film were investigated by Hall effect measurement. Poly-Si film was p-type by Al and resistivity and hall effect mobility was affected by substrate temperature.

방향족 폴리아미드 역삼투 복합 박막에 트리알콕시알킬 실란 화합물을 안정적으로 정착시켜 내염소성이 향상된 복합막을 제조하는 방법에 관하여 조사하였다. 실란 화합물의 알킬 그룹의 탄소가 1개인 methyltriethoxysilane (METES)와 8개인 octyltriethoxysilane (OCTES) 표면 개질에 사용하였다. 긴 알킬 체인을 갖는 실란(OCTES)이 정착된 멤브레인의 경우, 일반 폴리아미드 역삼투막 또는 짧은 알킬 체인을 갖는 실란(METES)에 비해 개염소성이 크게 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 표면 분석을 통하여 OCTES 코팅막과 METES또는 상용막과의 내염소성 차이를 설명하고자 하였다. EDX 원소 분석을 통하여 실란 화합물 둘 다 폴리아미드상에 안정적으로 고정되었음을 볼 수 있었으나 표면 조도나 접촉각 분석에서는 긴 알킬 체인을 가진 OCTES가 혐수성에 큰 영향을 주고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

The global energy storage markets have gravitated to high-energy-density and low cost of lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) as the predominant system for energy storage such as electric vehicles (EVs). High-Ni layered oxides are considered promising next-generation cathode materials for LIBs owing to their significant advantages in terms of high energy density. However, the practical application of high-Ni cathodes remains challenging, because of their structural and surface instability. Although extensive studies have been conducted to mitigate these inherent instabilities, a two-step process involving the synthesis of the cathode and a dry/wet coating is essential. This study evaluates a one-step β-Li₂SnO₃ layer coating on the surface of LiNi_0.8Co_0.2O₂ (NC82) via the thermal segregation of Sn owing to the solubility limit with respect to the synthesis temperature. The doping, segregation, and phase transition of Sn were systematically revealed by structural analyses. Moreover, surface-engineered 5 mol% Sn-coated LiNi_0.8Co_0.2O₂ (NC82_Sn5%) exhibited superior capacity retention compared to bare NC82 owing to the stable surface coating layer. Thus, the developed one-step coating method is suitable for improving the properties of high-Ni layered oxide cathode materials for application in LIBs.

Alkali-silica reaction (ASR) is among one of the most important damaging mechanisms in concrete, depending primarily on aggregates which contain reactive minerals. However, expansion in concrete may not directly relate to the reactive minerals. This study aims to investigate the influence of ASR and the expansion of mortar bars depending on aggregate type containing various components such as quartz, clay minerals (montmorillonite and kaolinite) and micas (muscovite and biotite). In this study, the accelerated mortar bar tests (AMBT) were performed in two conditions (mortar bars in the same and sole NaOH solutions). Petrographic thin section studies, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis (Rietveld method), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and chemical analyses were carried out. This study showed that quartzite bars led to increase in expansion values of mortar bars in diabase-1 and andesite when these were in the same NaOH solution. However, three samples (basalt, quartzite and claystone) were found having ASR expansion based on the AMBT when the special molds were used for each sample. SEM study revealed that samples which exhibit highest expansions according to AMBT had a generally rough surface and acicular microstructures in or around the micro-cracks. Basalt and quartzite showed more variable in major oxides than those of other samples based on the chemical analyses, SEM studies and AMBT. This study revealed that the highest expansions were observed to source not only from reactive aggregates but also from alteration products (silicification, chloritization, sericitization and argillisation), phyllosilicates (muscovite, biotite and vermiculite) and clays (montmorillonite and kaolinite).

Investigating the physical and chemical properties of riverine wetlands is necessary to understand their distribution characteristics and depositional environment. This study investigated the physical (particle size, color, and type) and chemical properties (organic, inorganic, and moisture contents) of sediments in Samrak wetland, located in the Nakdong River estuary area in Busan, South Korea. The particle size analysis indicated that the hydraulic conductivity values for the coarse grain and the mixture of coarse and fine grains ranged from 2.03 to 3.49×10^-1 cm s^-1 and 7.18×10^-3 to 1.24×10^-7 cm s^-1, respectively. In-situ water quality and laboratory-based chemical analyses and radon-222 measurement were performed on groundwater and surface water in the wetland and water from the nearby Nakdong River. The physical and chemical properties of Samrak wetland was characterized by the sediments in the vertical and lateral direction. The concentrations of chemical components in the wetland groundwater were distinctly higher than those in the Nakdong River water though the wetland groundwater and Nakdong River water equally belonged to the Ca-HCO₃ type.
