The formation mechanism of microconstituents in brazed joints of duplex stainless steel and Cr-Cu alloy which is an essential process of rocket engine manufacturing was investigated using Cu base insert metal. $SUS329J_3L$ and C18200 were used for base metal and AMS 4764 was used for insert metal. The brazing was carried out under various conditions. There were various phases in the joints, because of reaction between liquid insert metal and base metals. Since liquid insert metal reacts with duplex stainless steel, liquid Cu from insert metal infiltrated into the $\alpha/\beta$ interface of duplex stainless steel. Through the process of Cu infiltration, isolated stainless steel pieces come into the liquid insert metal. Since liquid insert metal reacts with Cr-Cu alloy. Cr precipitates from C18200 come into the liquid insert metal. With increment of bonding temperature and holding time, amounts and sizes of phases increased. but Cr-Mn compounds decreased at 1303k for 1.2ks and Mn-rich phases disappeared Fe-Cr compounds formed.

노화현상에 관련된 가설은 프로그램설, 세포손상축적설 등 다양하나 증거와 연구자료가 아직은 불충분하고 미흡하다. 현재 상당한 주목을 받고 있고 또 일견 설득력이 있는 것으로 수용되고 있는 oxygen species에 의한 세포손상축적 가설은 시험관 또는 생체 내에서의 실험과 관측을 통해 연구에 상당한 진전이 있음에도 노화현상을 해석하는 또 다른 실마리에 불과하다. Oxygen radical이 세포내의 거대분자들 중 DNA에 손상과 변이를 일으키거나, 우리기를 수반하지 않는 다른 기작에 의해 조직손상이 일어나면서 세포내의 유리기반응에 이차적 장애가 유도되어 세포내의 분자들이 훼손되거나 변화됨으로서, 이들 손상물이 시간과 더불어 축적하여 신체기능의 퇴행을 수반한 질병과 노화현상이 나타나게 된다는 것이다. 유리기에 대한 효과를 가지는 SOD, catalase, glutathione, peroxidase, metal-chelator와 chain-breaking 효과를 가진 alpha-tocopherol, beta-carotere, urate, ascorbate, ubiquinone, glutathione, protein-thiol 등 항산화물질의 적용과 섭취의 중요성이 인식되었다.

The crystal and defect structures of U $O_{x}$(x=2.0, 2.03, 2.14, 2.19, 2.20 and 2.26) were analysed by rietveld refinement and the results were compared to the U-O phase diagram. Neutron diffraction data were collected in the temperature range of RT~100$0^{\circ}C$. The specimens of x=2.14, 2.19, and 2.20 consisted of two phase: $UO_{2+x}$(Fm3m, a≒5.4$\AA$) and $U_4$$O_{9}$(I43d, a≒21.8$\AA$). The proportion of the $UO_{2+x}$(Fm3m) phase increased with increasing the temperature. The variation of the proportion of the two phases with temperature in the U $O_{2.2}$ and U $O_{2.18}$ samples showed some deviation from the expected values from the phase diagram especially at the high temperature range. The phase transitions ${\gamma}$longrightarrow$\beta$longrightarrow$\alpha$ of $U_4$$O_{9}$ were discussed in relation with the phase separation.eparation.ion.

The characteristics of the rock cleavage in Jurassic Geochang granite were analysed using the distribution of microcrack lengths and spacings. The phases of distribution of the above lengths and spacings were derived from the enlarged photomicrographs(${\times}6.7$) of the thin section. First, the length and spacing-cumulative diagrams for the six directions of rock cleavages were arranged in increasing order($H2{\rightarrow}R1$) on the density(${\rho}$) of microcrack length. The various parameters were extracted through the combination of the above two types of diagrams. The discrimination factors representing the three quarrying planes and three rock cleavages were acquired through the mutual contrast between the values of parameters. The analysis results of the research are summarized as follows. The evaluation for the six directions of rock cleavages was performed using the parameters such as (1) intersection angle(${\alpha}-{\beta}$) and (2) exponent difference(${\lambda}_S-{\lambda}_L$) between two exponential straight lines related to spacing(${\alpha}$, ${\lambda}_S$) and length(${\beta}$, ${\lambda}_L$). The values of parameters(1 and 2) are in order of H(hardway, (H1 + H2)/2) < G(grain, (G1 + G2)/2) < R(rift, (R1 + R2)/2). On the contrary, the values of the above two parameters for three planes are in order of R < G < H. Meanwhile, the direction of convergence between two exponential straight lines was derived. The above direction is compliant to arrangement of the line os' centering around the line ol. The above two lines converge in the direction of the Y-axis when the line ol and line os' occupy the upper region on the left and the lower region on the right, respectively(R-type). On the contrary, the above two lines converge in the direction of the X-axis when the order of arrangement between line ol and line os' is reversed(H-type). Especially, the positive(+) or negative(-) value of intersection angle(${\alpha}-{\beta}$) is determined by the arrangement of two vertical lines. This type of correlation analysis is useful for evaluating the relative strength of rock cleavage and discriminating three quarrying planes.

An n-type iron$silicide(Fe_{0.98}Co_{0.02}Si_2)$has been produced by mechanical alloying process and consolidated by vacuum hot pressing. Although as-milled powders after 120 hours of milling did not show an alloying progress,${\beta}-FeSi_2$phase transformation was induced by isothermal annealing at$830{\circ}C$for 1 hour, and the fully transformed${\beta}-FeSi_2$phase was obtained after 4 hours of annealing. Near fully dense specimen was obtained after vacuum hot pressing at$ 1100{\circ}C$with a stress of 60MPa. However, as-consolidated iron silicides were consisted of untransformed mixture of ${\Alpha}-Fe_2Si_5$and ${\varepsilon-FeSi$phases. Thus, isothermal annealing has been carried out to induce the transformation to a thermoelectric semiconducting${\beta}-FeSi_2$phase. The condition for${\beta}-FeSi_2$transformation was investigated by utilizing DTA, SEM, and XRD analysis. The phase transformation was shown to be taken place by a vacuum isothermal annealing at$830{\circ}C$and the transformation behaviour was investigated as a function of annealing time. The mechanical properties of${\beta}-FeSi_2$materials before and after isothermal annealing were characterized in this study.

The effect of cooling rate on precipitation hardening of a Pd-Cu-Ga-Zn metal-ceramic alloy during porcelain firing simulation was investigated and the following results were obtained. When the cooling rate was fast (Stage 0), the hardness of the alloy increased at each firing step and the high hardness value was maintained. When the cooling rate was slow (Stage 3), the hardness was the highest at the first stage of the firing, but the final hardness of the alloy after complete firing was lower. The increase in hardness of the specimens cooled at the cooling rate of Stage 0 after each firing step was caused by precipitation hardening. The decrease in hardness of the specimens cooled at the cooling rate of Stage 3 after each firing step was attributed to the coarsening of the spot-like precipitates formed in the matrix and plate-like precipitates. The matrix and the plate-like precipitates were composed of the $Pd_2(Cu,Ga,Zn)$ phase of CsCl-type, and the particle-like structure was composed of the Pd-rich ${\alpha}$-phase of face-centered cubic structure. Through the porcelain firing process, Cu, Ga, and Zn, which were dissolved in Pd-rich ${\alpha}$ particles, precipitated with Pd, resulting in the phase separation of the Pd-rich ${\alpha}$ particles into the Pd-rich ${\alpha}^{\prime}$ particles and ${\beta}^{\prime}$ precipitates composed of $Pd_2(Cu,Ga,Zn)$. These results suggested that the durability of the final prosthesis made of the Pd-Cu-Ga-Zn alloy can be improved when the cooling rate is fast during porcelain firing simulation.

스퍼터링에 의해 증착된 박막 내 기계적 응력 발생 현상을 규명하기 위하여 활발한 이론적, 실험적 접근이 있었으나, 복잡한 플라즈마 증착환경 내에서 다양한 증착 파라미터로 인해 정확한 응력 발생 메커니즘에 대해 아직도 완벽한 규명이 되지 않은 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 몰리브데늄 (Mo)과 텅스텐 (W) 박막을 마그네트론 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 증착 시 발생하는 잔류응력 발생 현상에 대해 논의하겠다. Mo 박막의 경우 증착압력을 2.5 mTorr와 4.1 mTorr로 고정시킨 채 기판 바이어스를 0-250 V 간격으로 변화시킨 결과, 2.5 mTorr에서는 기판바이어스가 증가할수록 압축응력이 증가하는 반면 4.1 mTorr에서는 기판바이어스가 증가할수록 인장응력이 증가하는 것이 확인되었다. 이러한 반대 경향의 잔류응력을 발생시키는 기판 바이어스 효과를 확인하기 위하여 증착 파라미터 변경에 따른 박막 성장 거동 모델을 제시한다. W 박막은 준안정상인 ${\beta}$-상이 증착 초기(2.5 nm)에 형성이 되고, 증착 과정에서 열역학적 안정상인 ${\alpha}$-상으로 상변태 하였다. 상변태에 의한 부피 변화에 따른 잔류응력 발생의 분석을 위하여 X-ray 회절피크의 비대칭성을 분석한 결과 압축응력과 인장응력이 공존하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 본 연구결과는 스퍼터링 공정 시 높은 에너지를 가지는 중성화된 Ar과 스퍼터된 원자가 기판과 충돌 시 atomic peening effect에 의해 압축응력이 발생한다는 일반적인 이론과 상충되는 결과로서, Mo 및 W 박막 내 잔류응력 제어를 위한 방안을 제시한다.

Nanorod-clustered $MnO_2$ precursors with ${\alpha}$-, ${\beta}$-, and ${\gamma}$-phases are synthesized by hydrothermal reaction of $MnSO_45H_2O$ and $(NH_4)S_2O_8$. The formation of nanorod-clustered ${\beta}-MnO_2$ is particularly confirmed under the conditions of high reactant concentration and hydrothermal reaction at $150^{\circ}C$. The spinel $LiMn_2O_4$ nanorod-clusters are also prepared by lithiating the $MnO_2$ precursors, varying the concentration of lithiating agent ($LiC_3H_3O_2{\cdot}2H_2O$) and heat treatment temperature, and characterized for use as cathode material of lithium-ion batteries. As a result, the nanorod-clustered $LiMn_2O_4$ prepared from the ${\beta}-MnO_2$ at higher $LiC_3H_3O_2{\cdot}2H_2O$ concentration and the annealing at $800^{\circ}C$ is proven to show the cubic spinel structure and to achieve the high initial discharge capacity of 120 mAh/g.

This study investigated the antioxidant and antiobesity activity of extract powders from the following natural color resources: Polygonum indigo, Black locust, Cochineal, Catechu, Grape, Tesu flower, Henna, Chrysanthemum, Sandalwood Red, Himalayan Rhubarb, and Madder. Total phenol content was the highest in Catechu extract, at 348.25 mg/g. DPPH, ABTS radical scavenging activity and ferric reducing antioxidant power (FRAP) were also higher in Catechu extract. Bleaching inhibition activity in the ${\beta}$-carotene linoleic acid system was the highest in Black locust extract, as was ${\alpha}$-Glucosidase inhibition activity. ${\alpha}$-Amylase inhibition activity was the highest in Catechu extract. Trypsin inhibition activity of Black locust extract was greater than 60%, and ${\alpha}$- chymotrypsin inhibition activity of Catechu extract was greater than 40%. Lipase inhibition activity was the highest Black locust extract, at 52.73%. Viability of 3T3-L1 cells was not affected by treatment with extracts at concentrations of $1.25{\sim}25{\mu}g/ml$. Lipid accumulation in the 3T3-L1 cells was the lowest following treatment with Catechu extract, at 55.8%, and this extract also inhibited adipocyte differentiation. These results suggest that the Catechu and Black locust extracts have high antioxidant and antiobesity activities and can be useful ingredients in functional foods.

In an attempt to enhance phase transformation and homogenization of Mn-doped $FeSi_2$, mechanical alloying of elemental powders was applied. Cold pressing and sintering in vacuum were carried out to produce a dense microstructure, and then isothermal annealing was employed to induce a phase transformation to the $\beta$-$FeSi_2$semiconductor. Phase transitions in this alloy system during the process were investigated by using XRD, EDS and SEM. As-milled powders after 100 h of milling were shown to be metastable state. As-sintered iron silicides consisted of untransformed mixture of $\alpha$-$Fe_2$$Si_{5}$and $\varepsilon$-FeSi phases. $\beta$-$FeSi_2$phase transformation was induced by subsequent isothermal annealing at $830^{\circ}C$, and near single phase of $\beta$-$FeSi_2$was obtained after 24 h of annealing. Thermoelectric properties in terms of Seebeck coefficient, and electrical conductivity were evaluated and correlated with phase transformation. Seebeck coefficient electrical resistivity and hardness increased with increasing annealing time due to $\beta$ phase transformation.
