In last two decades, an impressive progress has been recorded in terms of developing new materials or refining existing material composition/microstructure in order to obtain better performance in biomedical applications. The success of such efforts clearly demands better understanding of various concepts, e.g. biocompatibility, host response, cell-biomaterial interaction. In this article, we review the fundamental understanding that is required with respect to biomaterials development, as well as various materials and their properties, which are relevant in applications, such as hard tissue replacement. A major emphasize has been placed to present various design aspects, in terms of materials processing, of ceramics and polymer based biocomposites, Among the bioceramic composites, the research results obtained with Hydroxyapatite (HAp)-based biomaterials with metallic (Ti) or ceramic (Mullite) reinforcements as well as $SiO_2-MgO-Al_2O_3-K_2O-B_2O_3-F$ glass ceramics and stabilized $ZrO_2$ based bioinert ceramics are summarized. The physical as well as tribological properties of Polyethylene (PE) based hybrid biocomposites are discussed to illustrate the concept on how can the physical/wear properties be enhanced along with biocompatibility due to combined addition of bioinert and bioactive ceramic to a bioinert polymeric matrix. The tribological and corrosion properties of some important orthopedic metallic alloys based on Ti or Co-Cr-Mo are also illustrated. At the close, the future perspective on orthopedic biomaterials development and some unresolved issues are presented.

Sol-gel 법으로 제조한 $Pb(Sc_{1/2}Nb_{1/2})O_3$(이하 PSN) sol을 이용하여 스핀 코팅법으로 Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si 기판위에 제조한 박막의 제조 공정에 따른 영향을 연구하였다. Pt 기판위에 PSN sol을 증착, 건조한 후에 $370^{\circ}C$에서 5분간 열처리를 행한 후 $10^{\circ}C/sec$의 급속 가열로 $600{\sim}700^{\circ}C$에서 최종 열처리한 경우에 박막은 (111)면으로 우선 배향하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러나 중간 열처리를 거치지 않고, 급속가열에 의한 최종 열처리만을 행한 경우에는 (100)면으로 우선 배향하는 것으로 나타났다. 한편, 중간 열처리 후 $4^{\circ}C/min$의 승온속도로 관상로에서 최종 열처리를 행한 경우에는 (111)면과 (100)면이 동시에 나타나는 것으로 나타났다. 동일한 조건하에서 박막의 두께는 모두 300로 중간 열처리 공정이 어떠한 영향도 미치지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

This study investigated the effect of alkaline activators - NaOH_aq (NH) (NH: 0-16 M) and Na₂SiO_3aq (NS) (NS/NH: 0-3.5) in the synthesis of silico-manganese fume (SMF) and ground blast furnace slag (BFS) blended alkali-activated mortar (AASB). The use of individual activator was ineffective in producing AASB of sufficient fresh and hardened properties, compared to the synergy of both activators. This may be attributed to incomplete dissolution and condensation of oligomers required for gelation of the binder. An inverse relationship was noted among the fresh properties and the NH concentration or NS/NH ratio. This was influenced by the dissolution and condensation of silicate monomers under polymerization process. The maximum 28-day strength of ~45 MPa, setting time of 60 min and flow of 182 mm was obtained with the use of combined activators (10M-NH and NS/NH=2.5). The combined activators at NS/10M-NH=2.5 constituted SiO₂/Na₂O, H₂O/Na₂O and H₂O/SiO₂ molar ratio of 1.61, 17.33 and 10.77, respectively. This facilitated the formation of C-S-H, C/K-A-S-H and C-Mn-S-H in the framework together with an increase in the crystallinity due to more silicate re-organization within the aluminosilicate chain. On comparison of the high concentrated with mild alkali synthesized product, it revealed that the concentration of OH^- and Si monomers together with alkali metals influenced the dissolution of precursors and embedment of the constituent elements in the polymeric matrix. These factors eventually contributed to the microstructural densification of the mortar prepared with NS/10M-NH=2.5 thereby enhancing the compressive strength.

Investigating the microstructure of hardened cement mixtures with the aid of advanced technology will help the concrete industry to develop appropriate binders for durable building materials. In this paper, morphological, mineralogical and thermogravimetric analyses of autoclave-cured mixtures incorporating ground dune sand and ground granulated blast furnace slag as partial cementing materials were investigated. The microstructure analyses of hydrated products were conducted using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), differential thermal analysis (DTA), thermo-graphic analysis (TGA) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The SEM and EDX results demonstrated the formation of thin plate-like calcium silicate hydrate plates and a compacted microstructure. The DTA and TGA analyses revealed that the calcium hydroxide generated from the hydration binder materials was consumed during the secondary pozzolanic reaction. Residual crystalline silica was observed from the XRD analysis of all of the blended mixtures, indicating the presence of excess silica. A good correlation was observed between the compressive strength of the blended mixtures and the CaO/$SiO_2$ ratio of the binder materials.

Microstructure of A356 aluminum alloys cast in the permanent mold was investigated by optical microscope and image analyzer, with particular respect to the shape and size distribution of iron intermetallics known as ${\beta}-phase$ ($Al_5FeSi$). Morphologies of the ${\beta}-phase$ was found to change gradually with the Be:Fe ratio like these. In Be-free alloys, ${\beta}-phase$ with needlelike morphology was well developed, but script phase was appeared when the Be:Fe ratio is above 0.2:1. With the Be:Fe ratios of 0.4:1-1:1, script phase as well as Be-rich phase was also observed. In case of higher Be addition, above 1:1, Be-rich phase was observed on all regions of the specimens, and increasing of the Be:Fe ratios gradually make the Be-rich phase coarse. It was also observed that the ${\beta}-phase$ with needlelike morphology was coarsened with increase of the Fe content in Be-free alloys. However, in Be-added alloys, length and number of these ${\beta}-phases$ were considerably decreased with the increased Be:Fe ratio. Beryllium addition improved tensile properties and impact toughness of the A356 aluminium alloy, due to the formation of a script phase or a Be-rich phase instead of a needlelike ${\beta}-phase$. The DSC tests indicated that the presence of Be could increase the amount of Mg which is available for $Mg_2Si$ precipitate hardening, and enhance the precipitation kinetics by lowering the ternary eutectic temperature.

LPG를 이$\cdot$충전하는 접속장치 커플러의 손상기구를 조사하기 위하여 가스 충전소에서 장기간 사용한 커플러 및 부식 시험한 6/4 단조 황동의 미세 조직 및 부식생성물의 화학조성을 조사하였다. 커플러의 운전 중에 형성된 부식피막의 화학조성은 6/4 단조 황동의 합금 원소인 CU, Zn 이외에 주로 가스 또는 대기로부터 유입된 것으로 추정되는 S, C, O, Al, Si 등의 원소들이 검출되었다. 커플러의 미세 조직은 기지조직($\alpha$) 속에 석출상($\beta$)들이 불규칙하게 분산되어 있는 2상 구조를 이루고 있었으며, 납의 함량이 높은 커플러의 경우 충격강도가 낮게 나타났다. 6/4 단조 황동의 충격강도는 $10\%$ HCl 수용액과 Mattsson 용액의 부식 환경 하에서 거의 영향을 받지 않았으나, 응력부식 시험편에서는 시험시간이 증가됨에 따라 균열이 결정립계를 따라 전파되었다.

본 연구에서는 카올린과 플라이애시의 두 종류의 결합재를 혼합하여 알칼리 활성화시킨 후, 경화체의 강도 및 미세구조 분석을 수행하였다. 이를 위해, 경화된 시험체에 대해 압축강도, X선 회절분석(XRD), 열중량(TG) 분석 및 SEM/EDS 분석을 실시하였다. 카올린-플라이애시 혼합 결합재는 카올린 혼합에 관계없이 모든 경화체에 대해서 재령에 따라 압축강도가 증가하는 경향을 나타냈으며, 플라이애시 중량에 대한 카올린의 혼합비가 증가할수록 압축강도는 낮아지는 것으로 나타났다. XRD 분석 결과에서는 제작된 모든 시험체에 대해서 플라이애시 및 카올린의 원재료에 함유된 구성광물 이외에 새로운 결정질 물질 형성은 확인되지 않았지만, 이에 반해 TG 분석에서는 모든 시험체 내에서 N-A-S-H gel이 반응생성물로 형성된 것을 알 수 있었다. 모든 시험체들의 내부는 대체적으로 치밀하지 않은 것으로 나타났으며, 카올린 치환율에 따른 강도 발현의 차이가 있음에도 불구하고, 내부의 조직구조에서 뚜렷한 차이는 없는 것으로 나타났다. 본 연구에서 보여준 반응생성물의 Si/Al가 낮을수록 시험체의 강도가 상대적으로 높은, Si/Al와 강도와의 상관관계에 따라, 반응생성물의 Si/Al가 낮도록, 즉 사용되는 결합재의 $Al_2O_3$의 용해도를 높일 수 있는 화학적 첨가제가 고려된다면, 카올린-플라이애시 혼합 결합재의 강도 개선 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구는 고로슬래그 미분말(GGBFS)의 구성성분이 알칼리 활성화 슬래그 시멘트(AASC)에 미치는 영향에 관한 연구이다. 산화알루미늄($Al_2O_3$)을 고로슬래그 미분말 중량에 대해 2~16% 혼합하였다. 활성화제는 KOH를 사용하였고, 물-결합재 비는 0.5이다. 강도 향상은 $Al_2O_3$ 혼합률이 증가함에 따라 수화반응의 향상으로 나타난다. 재령 28일에서 가장 높은 강도는 2M KOH + 16% $Al_2O_3$와 4M KOH + 16% $Al_2O_3$일 때이고 각각 30.8 MPa과 45.2 MPa이였다. 재령 28일에서 2M KOH + 16% $Al_2O_3$의 강도는 2M KOH ($Al_2O_3$ 미첨가) 보다 46% 향상되었다. 또한 4M KOH + 16% $Al_2O_3$의 강도는 4M KOH ($Al_2O_3$ 미첨가) 보다 44% 향상되었다. 결합재에서 $Al_2O_3$ 혼합률이 증가함에 따라 모든 재령에서 강도가 증가하였다. AASC에서 초음파속도(UPV)는 강도와 유사한 경향을 나타내었지만 흡수율과 공극률은 $Al_2O_3$의 혼합률이 증가함에 따라 강도경향과 상반된 경향을 나타내었다. $Al_2O_3$ 혼합률이 높은 시험체에서 반응생성물질의 Al/Ca와 Al/Si가 증가하였다. SEM과 EDX 분석을 통해 $Al_2O_3$의 혼합은 더욱 치밀한 미세조직을 형성한 것을 확인하였다.

Thermal shock resistance of structural ceramics is a property that is difficult to quantity, and as such is usually expressed in terms of a number of empirical resistance parameters. These are dependant on the conditions imposed, but one method that can be used is the examination of density, Young's modulus and thermal expansion retention after quenching. For high temperature applications, long-annealing thermal durability, cycle thermal stability and residual mechanical properties are very important if these materials are to be used between $1000^{\circ}C$ and $1300^{\circ}C$. In this study, an excellent thermal shock-resistant material based on $Al_2TiO_5-mullite$ composites of various compositions was fabricated by sintering reaction from the individual oxides and adjusting the composition of $Al_2O_3TiO_2/SiO_2$ ratios. The characterization of the damage induced by thermal shock was done by measuring the evolution of the Young's modulus using ultrasonic analysis, density and thermal expansion coefficients.
