Role of CaO in the sintering of 12Ce-TZP ceramics was studied. The addition of small amounts of CaO increase the densification rate of 12Ce-TZP by altering lattice defect structure and the diffusion coefficient of the rate controlling species, namely cerium and zirconium cations. CaO also inhibits grain growth during sintering and allows the sintering process to proceed to theoretical density by maintaining a high diffusion flux of vacancies from the pores to the grain boundaries. The inhibition of grain growth is accomplished by the segregation of solute at the grain boundaries, causing a decrease in the grain boundary mobility. The segregation of calcium was revealed by AES study.

An experimental investigation on the flow and convective heat transfer characteristics has been carried out far aluminum foam heat sink inserted into the annulus to examine the feasibility as a heat sink. Two aluminum foams or different permeability were selected to provide the friction factor and heat transfer correlations as function of Darcy, Reynolds and Prandtl number. Experimental results show that the friction factor is higher than clear annulus without aluminum foam, while $6\sim10$ times augmentation in Nusselt number is obtained. This technique can be used for the compactness of the heat exchanger.

The optimum cure cycle and carbonization condition were selected by the DSC and TGA analysis and green bodies were prepared by the method of hot press molding and then carbonized up to 140$0^{\circ}C$. Additives such as graphite powder, carbon black, milled carbon fiber and carbon fiber mat, which were considered to be effective in improving the interlaminar shear strength, were also added to check their effects on the density and porosity of products. Then, their relations with mechanical properties such as ILSS and flexural strength were investigated. The composites added 9 vol% of graphite powder showed the greatest values of ILSS and flexural strength. Otherwise, in case of adding carbon black, the composites showed the slight improvement of ILSS at its contents of 3 vol% but the flexural strength was decreased. When milled carbon fiber and carbon fiber mat were added, the lack of resin and the heat shrinkage during the carbonization caused the delamination, resulting in decreasing the density, ILSS and flexural strength.

The compressive strength test, bulk density and mortar absorption ratio were carried out to utilize the data as the basic sources for the lightweight mortar and the lightweight concrete, through the study on the physical characteristics of the artificial lightweight aggregate (ALA) made of waste glasses, which was developed for the first time in the country. On the basis of these experiments, the density and the unit volume weight of the ALA showed the value less than 50% of the common aggregate due to the independent pore structure, and the mortar that contains ALA had no big difference from the Control mortar in the test of the absorption ratio. It is judged that this happens based on the internal independent pore structure of the ALA. In case of the mortar containing ALA, there was a tendency of declination in the compressive strength and the bending strength as the mixing rate is increasing, but all mortar showed more than 70% of the Control mortar compressive strength except for the La50 mortar. Hereafter, it is judged that according to the control of the mixing ratio of mineral admixing agent, water and cement, it will realize the equal strength to the control mortar, and the long term edurance is needed to be considered together.

PDP rib is one of the important parts of manufacturing process and the sintering degree of rib plays an important role to prevent some problems such as cross talk. Nowadays, the screen-printing method, which is a low price and high production, is used to make a rib. However, it is hard to judge and value the sintering ratio of sintered body itself. In this study, we measured the sintering degree by the dielectric breakdown of pores with the potentiostat. We conformed that this has similar tendency to density of sintered samples and an error being expected by open and closed pores was inspected by change of the microstructure to scanning electron microscope. This result showed that the sintering degree of PDP rib could be analyzed into the electro-chemical method.

Porous silicon film is fabricated by electrochemical etching in a chemical mixture of HF and ethanol. Effects of Si type, Si resistivity, ultrasonic frequency, current density and etching time on surface morphology of PS film were studied. Electrochemical etching in ultrasonic bath promotes the uniformity of porous layer of Si. Frequency of ultrasonic was increased from 40 kHz to 130 kHz to obtain uniform pores on the Si surface. When current density was higher, the sizes of pores were larger. The new etching cell using back contact metal and current shield help to overcome nonhomogeneity and current crowding effect, and then leads to fabricate uniform pores on the Si surface. The distribution of pore size shows no notable tendency with etching time.

The effects of fiber composition factors of 14 geotextiles which are thickness, porosity, fiber length and diameter etc. on the transmissivity were examined and in-plane permeability of geotextiles under thickness change, transmissivity, confined load were analyzed by the constitutive equations. And the effects of laminar structure on the permittivity of laminar geotextile composites which were manufactured with fiber packing densities were assessed. Transmissivities were increased with thickness of geotextiles and in-plane permeability coefficients were increased with porosity and fiber diameter. The effects of porosity were decreased with normal stress and slightly increased with fiber length. Transmissivities were increased with fiber diameter and showed same tendensy for the same fiber length. Permittivities of laminar geotextile composites were influenced by the waterhead loss in the inner interface and the connection shape of these composites to water path was interpreted as bell mouth type or soft flux pipe type.

This study is preparation of microporous membranes by using macrocyclic metal ion complexes and extended cage complexes. It is a more favorable way to existing methods because polymer and metal ion-ligand complex system provides a fine control over the phase transition behavior. Chemical functionalization of the polar surface can be obtained. Metal-templated condensation of cyclohexanedione dioxime, hydroxyphenylboronic acid in the presence of metal salts proceeds cleanly in methanol to furnish the metal clathrochelate complexes. Organic/inorganic hybrid membranes were prepared with polyethersulfone (PES), polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), ethyleneglycol butyl ether (BE), metal clathrochelate s and DMF by using nonsolvent induced phase inversion method. The structure of membranes was characterized with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and microflow permporometer. The addition of Fe(II) clathrochelate complex with p-hydroxyphenyl group leads to changes of membrane morphology such as narrow mean pore size distribution, increase of surface pore density and decrease of the largest pore size.

플라즈마 전해 산화법(Plasma electrolytic oxidation)에 의해 형성된 코팅층은 특유의 기공구조로 인해 부식 환경에 노출 시 부식액의 침투가 급속히 이루어지는 단점이 있다. 이를 극복하기 위한 방법으로 유기코팅, sol-gel법, 폴리머 코팅 등에 의해 기공을 봉공(sealing)하는 방법이 제안되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 Al 합금의 플라즈마 전해 산화 처리 후 질산 세륨 수용액(Cerium nitrate solution)에 의한 봉공 효과를 확인하고자 하였다. PEO 코팅을 위한 전해액은 2g/L의 KOH와 $2g/L\;Na_2SiO_3$를 증류수에 용해시켜 준비하였다. PEO 코팅층은 Al 시편을 전해액 내에 위치시켜 양극으로 하고 STS를 음극으로 하여 $0.1A/cm^2$의 펄스 정전류밀도(주파수: 100Hz, 듀티비: 20%)를 15분 동안 인가하여 형성시켰다. 봉공을 위한 실링액은 증류수에 $0.3g/L\;H_2O_2$와 $1g/L\;H_3BO_3$를 첨가하고, $Ce(NO_3)_3$를 농도 변수로 첨가하여 준비하였으며, PEO 코팅 처리된 시편을 실링액에 침지하여 실링액의 농도와 침지시간을 달리하여 봉공을 실시하였다. 제작된 PEO 코팅층에 대해 SEM, EDS, XRD를 이용한 표면분석을 실시하였으며, 내식성을 확인하고자 동전위분극시험을 실시하였다. 연구 결과, 세륨 실링 처리된 PEO 코팅 층에서 미량의 세륨 성분이 검출되었으나, 세륨계 화합물 생성에 의한 마이크로 크기의 기공의 폐쇄는 관찰되지 않았다. 또한, 전기화학적 특성 평가 결과 실링 처리된 PEO 코팅층의 경우 Al 모재에 비해 2차수 정도 감소된 부식전류밀도를 나타내었다. 이 같은 내식성의 향상은 세륨 성분에 의한 부식 억제 효과 때문으로 판단된다.

This experiment was conducted to find out an adequate shading level (0, 55, 74, and 95%) on the shoot growth of rooted cuttings of native Hydrangea serrata for. acuminata. New shoot height (NSH), length and width of leaf, and stem diameter under 55% shading were the greatest. Net photosynthetic rate under 55% shading was the greatest, while intercellular $CO_2$ concentration was the least in this treatment. The greatest content of photosynthetic pigments (total chlorophyll, carotenoid) was observed in leaves grown under a 74%, followed by a 55% shading level. Leaf stomata were observed on the abaxial surface, but those on adaxial surface in all shading treatments were not observed. In 95% shading, decreased stomatal density and development were observed. Higher stomatal density and development, however, were observed in 55% shading. Therefore, it is concluded that a 55% shading level was the optimum for growth of new shoots of rooted cuttings of native H. serrata for. acuminata.
