마그네트론 스퍼터링을 이용하여 질소와 탄소를 함유한 티타늄 화합물을 합성하고, 조성 변화에 따른 색상 변화를 통해 티타늄 화합물로 구현할 수 있는 색상에 대해서 알아보았다. 스퍼터 타겟은 4"X1/4" 크기의 고순도(99.99%) 티타늄을 사용하였다. 시편은 알코올과 아세톤에서 각각 5분간 초음파 세척된 SUS304를 사용하여, 진공용기에 시편을 장착하고 압력을 $3{\times}10^{-6}\;Torr$까지 배기한 후, Ar 가스를 주입하여 진공도가 $2{\times}10^{-2}\;Torr$에 이르면 펄스 전원 공급 장치를 이용하여 800 V의 전압으로 1시간 동안 글로우 방전을 시켜 시편 청정을 실시하였다. 시편 청정이 끝나면 다시 $3{\times}10^{-6}\;Torr$까지 진공배기를 실시하고, Ar 가스를 진공용기 내로 공급하여 $1{\sim}3{\times}10^{-3}\;Torr$에서 스퍼터링을 실시하여 완충층으로 티타늄 박막을 코팅하였다. 티타늄 화합물은 티타늄을 스퍼터링 하면서 진공용기 내에 질소와 메탄가스를 적절한 비율로 공급함으로써 코팅하였다. 박막 증착 시 시편 온도는 $200^{\circ}C$, 타겟과의 거리는 12 cm를 유지하였으며, 시편을 회전시켜 코팅하였다. 티타늄 화합물의 두께와 미세구조, 조성 그리고 색상은 투과전자현미경(transmission electron microscope, TEM), 글로우 방전 분광기(glow discharge light spectroscope, GDLS), 및 색차계(spectrophotometer)를 사용하여 각각 분석하였다. TEM 분석결과 TiN의 박막 두께는 약 300 nm로 공극이 존재하지 않는 치밀한 다결정 구조를 나타내었고, TiCN은 약 600 nm로 TiN과 두 배의 두께 차이를 보였다. 이는 탄소의 공급원인 메탄가스의 주입으로 증착률이 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 또한 소량의 질소와 메탄가스의 유량 조절로 화합물의 조성을 변화시킬 수 있었으며, 이러한 조성 변화는 화합물의 색상변화로 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과를 외관 코팅 분야에 응용한다면 다양한 색상 구현과 외관의 경도, 내마모성, 내식성의 향상 등 많은 장점을 가질 것으로 판단된다.

중온처리가 유자의 품질에 미치는 영향을 조사키 위해 유자를 4$0^{\circ}C$에 1~3일간 처리한 후 이를 5$^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서 유자의 품질인자로서 중요한 과피의 표면색상 변화를 무처리구와 비교하였다. 열 처리한 유자를 5$^{\circ}C$의 저온 저장고에 1일 방치하여 품온을 낮춘 후 유자의 과피 색을 분석하였던 바 “L”값과 “b” 값은 무처리구와 뚜렷한 차이를 보이지 않았으나 “a”값은 무처리구에 비해 낮은 값을 보였는데 이러한 차이는 열 처리시간이 길수록 현저하였다. 또한 열처리 정도에 따라 hue angle값과 chroma값은 차이를 보이지 않았으나 $\Delta$E값과 hue값은 처리구간에 뚜렷한 차이를 보였다. 열처리한 유자의 저장 중 과피의 색상 변화를 조사하였던 바 “L”값과 “b” 값은 감소하였으나 “a”값은 증가하였다. 이 중 열 처리구의 “a”값 증가율과 “b” 값 감소율은 무처리구에 비해 낮았는데 이와 같은 차이는 열처리 정도에 따라 보다 뚜렷하였다. 또한 저장기간이 경과함에 따라 $\Delta$E값은 증가하였고 chroma값, hue값 및 hue angle값은 감소하였는데 이들 값의 변화정도 역시 열 처리정도에 따라 차이를 보였다. 한편 이와 같은 열 처리구와 무처리구의 과피 색상 차이는 과피의 미세구조 관찰 결과 열처리가 과피 표면 왁스의 분포에 영향을 주었고, 과피 색소를 과피 표면 부위에 고정시켰으며, 저장중 과피색소의 내부침착을 억제하였기 때문이었던 것으로 판단되었다.

기존의 Al 합금 소재의 단점을 보완한 Al-Mg 합금 소재를 이용해 다이캐스팅으로 만들어진 핸드폰 케이스에 적용하고자 titanium 타겟을 사용한 반응성 스퍼터링 공정을 연구하였다. 코팅특성은 스펙트로포토 미터를 이용하여 색상분석을 하였고, 미세표면이미지는 FE-SEM을 이용하였다. DC 마그네트론 스퍼터링에 의한 착색코팅은 산소유량이 많은 경우 밝기 L*값이 더 커졌다. 색상의 편차와 재현성을 나타내주는 ${\Delta}E^*ab$ 값을 비교해보면, 모든 경우 ${\Delta}E^*ab^*$<1로 매우 우수한 색상균일성을 보여준다. FE-SEM에 의한 표면이미지는 전반적으로 산소유량이 많은 0.8SCCM에서 코팅한 경우보다 산소유량이 적은 0.375SCCM에서 코팅한 경우가 결정립계의 구별이 확실하고 결정립 모양이 선명하고 결정립크기도 증가함을 확인할 수 있다.

This study evaluated the change of color and the microhardness according to time-out using the office bleaching with in vitro test after bleaching one time 1 day per week, total three times, for the control group and three times per 1day for the experimental group. $L^*$ was increased in both groups. Group 1 showed a significant increase statistically between before and after tooth whitening (p<0.05). Group 2 showed a significant increase statistically between before and after tooth whitening (p<0.05). ${\Delta}E^*$ was huge in both groups. In group 1, it was great in terms of statistical significance between 1 day and 7 days after tooth whitening (p<0.05). In group 2, it was the greatest between before and 1 day after tooth whitening and was significant statistically as well (p<0.05). Vickers hardness number (VHN) decreased in both groups. In group 1, VHN decreased over time and the difference was significant statistically (p<0.05). In group 2, VHN decreased over time and the difference was significant statistically (p<0.05). Percentage microhardness loss was great in both groups. In group 1, it was the greatest between 1 day and 7 days after the treatment, and it was significant statistically (p<0.05). In group 2, it was the greatest between before and 1 day after the treatment, and it was significant statistically (p<0.05). Put together, the more frequent tooth whitening a day is, the longer the period of tooth whitening when applying the same frequency, the greater color change was, however the microhardness decreased, in regard to the results over time using 15% hydrogen peroxide tooth whitening product for professionals.

Purpose: HCD ion plating apparatus by hollow cathod discharge method was fabricated and TiN films were deposited on stainless steel by this apparatus with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow and the fine color changes of TiN films were analyzed. Methods: The spectroradiometer and spectrophotometer were used to observe optically the fine color changes of TiN thin films, and XPS was used to analyze the compositions of TiN thin films with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow. Results: The color coordinate of TiN thin film with $N_2$ 120 sccm gas flow showed (0.382, 0.372) which had the mixed colors of gold and silver, and the color coordinate changed to the increasing value of (x,y) with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow which indicated the deep gold color. It was found that the slopes of the reflectances at 550nm were increased with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow. And from the Ti scans using XPS, it was found that the peak heights of 455 eV derived from TiN composition were increased with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow, while the peak heights of 459 eV from $TiO_2$ composition were decreased. Conclusions: The results obtained above were that the color of TiN film with 120 sccm $N_2$ gas flow had been observed from the mixed color of silver and gold due to TiC, $N_2$, TiN on the surface and TiN, $N_2$ inside film, and the color of TiN films changed a deep gold color with increasing in $N_2$ gas flow due to increasing TiN composition.

Color characteristics of the Cu-Sn alloys (bronze) in as-cast conditions were determined by reference to the $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$ color space. Results show that the values of $a^*$ and $b^*$ decrease with the increase in Sn levels, indicating that the colors of bronze alloys are increasingly away from red and yellow with the increase in the fraction of the ${\delta}$ phase while the opposite is true with the ${\alpha}$ phase. It has also been found in similar experiments with the Cu-22% Sn alloys that heat treatments in varying conditions produce subtle differences in their color characteristics as observed in the $L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$ color space, due likely to the formation of various phases in different fractions.

본 논문에서는 광학적 방법을 이용하여 정색반응을 정량적으로 측정할 수 있는 방법을 제시한다. 정색반응은 발색, 변색의 현상을 일으키는 화학 변화로 시료 용액에 시약을 더하여 특수한 빛을 나타내게 하여, 물질을 정성적으로 검출하는데 이용된다. 하지만 정색반응 결과로 나타난 색상은 사람마다 색구별이 다르므로 정확한 양을 알 수는 없다. 본 연구에서는 시료의 양에 따라 색상 변화의 미세한 차이를 PICkit Serial Analyzer를 사용하여 색상을 수치화하여 시료의 양에 따른 색의 변화를 정량적으로 측정하였다.

In this paper, we discuss a simple and straightforward binarization procedure which can generate black/white comics from the video frame image. Generally, the region of human's skin is colored white or light gray, while the dark region is filled with the irregular but regular patterns like hatching in most of the black/white comics. Note that it is not enough for simple threshold method to perform this work. Our procedure is decoupled into four processes. First, we use bilateral filter to suppress noise color variation and reserve boundaries. Then, we perform mean-shift segmentation for each similar colored pixels to be clustered. Third, the clustered regions are merged and extended by our region extension algorithm considering each color of their regions. Finally, we decide which pixels are on or off using by our dynamic binarization method based on the HSV color model. Our novel black/white cartooning procedure was so successful to render comic cuts from a well-known cinema in a resonable time and manual intervention.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to examine the effects of chromium chloride addition on coloration, mechanical property and microstructure of 3Y-TZP. Materials and methods: Chromium chloride was weighed as 0.06, 0.12, and 0.25 wt% and each measured amount was dissolved in alcohol. $ZrO_2$ powder was mixed with each of the individual slurry to prepare chromium doped zirconia specimen. The color, physical properties and microstructure were observed after the zirconia specimen were sintered at $1450^{\circ}C$. In order to evaluate the color, spectrophotometer was used to analyze the value of $L^*$, $C^*$, $a^*$ and $b^*$, after placing the specimen on a white plate, and measured according to the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) standard, Illuminant D65 and SCE system. The density was measured in the Archimedes method, while microstructures were evaluated by using the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and XRD. Fracture toughness was calculated Vickers indentation method and indentation size was measured by using the optical microscope. The data were analyzed with 1-way ANOVA test (${\alpha}$ = 0.05). The Tukey multiple comparison test was used for post hocanalysis. Results: 1. Chromium chloride rendered zirconia a brownish color. While chromium chloride content was increased, the color of zirconia was changed from brownish to brownish-red. 2. Chromium chloride content was increased; density of the specimen was decreased. 3. More chromium chloride in the ratio showed increase size of grains. 4. But the addition of chromium chloride did not affect the crystal phase of zirconia, and all specimens showed tetragonal phase. 5. The chromium chloride in zirconia did not showed statistically significant difference in fracture toughness, but addition of 0.25 wt% showed a statistically significant difference (P<.05). Conclusion: Based on the above results, this study suggests that chromium chlorides can make colored zirconia while adding in a liquid form. The new colored zirconia showed a slight difference in color to that of the natural tooth, nevertheless this material can be used as an all ceramic core material.

Even though concrete is the most important material for building structures, its intrinsic gray color degrades urban esthetics. In order to improve this problem, coloring methods of mixing pigment in concrete batch and painting the surface of concrete surface have been tried. However, applications of the coloring methods in construction field are difficult due to high cost and low durability. Recently, acid stain agent is emerging as a new coloring method for concrete. It is able to apply a remarkably thin colored layer on a concrete surface from chemical reaction between acid and alkaline solutions. This study has examined the changes and variations of the surface layer of mortar specimen from chemical reaction of acid stained agents. The colors were changed into natural irregular stains according to aging. After the staining, no shape change was found from visible inspections. Microstructure of the colored surface applied with acid stained agent was much rougher than that of original mortar. When the colored layer was compared to original surface, crystals of hydrate such as $Ca(OH)_2$ and C-S-H gel were observed. Surface hardness was same or slightly higher in the colored layer. The value of pH was reduced by approximately 10%, weight contents of elements such as Ca, Si, and Al were low. In the chemical composition of the colored layer, the non-cement based elements of Mn, Cr, and Cu increased. Also, Fe and alkali elements of K and Na increased.
