An $Al_2O_3/Fe$ composite was synthesized through the double stage processes by a reaction sintering which requires simple process and equipments but provides near-net-shape, a reduction/oxidation process for 5 hrs at $650^{\circ}C$ was followed by sintering at $1200^{\circ}C$ to form an $Al_2O_3/Fe$ composite. The composite processed through the double stage sintering are mainly consists of $\alpha$-Fe and ${\alpha}Al_2O_3$ with minor amount of $FeAl_2O_4$, a spinnel structure which is known to prevent Fe from filling up the pores and good contact with $Al_2O_3/Fe$ particles.

인체의 뼈와 같은 손상된 경조직을 치료 또는 대체하기위한 정형외과용 임플란트를 설계하는데 있어 뼈의 생체역학적 특성과 유사한 성질을 갖는 다공성 지지체에 대한 연구가 최근 관심을 끌고 있다. 다공성 지지체는 조직이 원활히 재생될 수 있어야 하며, 또한 주변 조직과도 생물학적인 고착이 잘 되도록 기공들이 상호 연결된 구조를 가져야 한다. 이와 같은 다공성 지지체용 소재를 제조하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 타이타늄 분말을 사용하여 3차원 적층조형공정으로 다공성 타이타늄 지지체를 제조하였다. 제조된 다공체의 물성 및 기계적 특성을 평가하기 위하여 압축시험과 변형해석을 수행하였으며, 아울러 제조된 지지체의 생체적합성 향상을 위하여 양극산화 공정 등의 표면처리를 수행하여 그에 대한 특성을 평가하였다. 분말야금 공정으로 제조된 지지체는 골조직의 성장에 적합한 약 $300\sim400{\mu}m$의 기공 크기를 갖도록 제어하였고, 기공도는 60~75%로 제어하였다. 아울러 다공성 타이타늄의 생체적합성을 부여하기 위하여 양극산화공정으로 지지체의 표면에 Ca 및 P을 포함하는 산화층을 형성시키는 표면처리를 수행하였다. 양극산화공정에 의하여 표면에 미세기공을 포함하는 산화층을 형성시킬 수 있었으나 이와 같은 표면구조는 조골세포의 부착과 영향에는 큰 영향을 미치지 않는 것으로 확인되었다.

Ti와 Ti-6%Al-4%V합금은 내 부식성 및 생체 적합성이 매우 우수하기 때문에 현재 생체재료로써 널리 사용되고 있다. 하지만 Ti-6%Al-4V합금에 포함된 Al과 V이 신체에 좋지 않은 영향을 줄 수 있다는 연구 결과가 보고되면서 새로운 생체재료의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 생체에 무해한 Ti-Nb와 hydroxyapatite(HAp)를 복합 첨가하여 고에너지볼밀링(high-energy mechanical milling, HEMM)으로 나노 합금분말을 제조 후 급속소결에 의하여 Ti-Nb/HAp 생체재료를 제조 하였다. 제조한 Ti-Nb/HAp 생체용 복합재료에서 HAp 첨가량과 분말의 밀링, 믹싱에 따른 조직 변화와 소결체의 생체적합성의 변화 및 기계적 특성의 변화를 분석하였다. 이때 Ti-42%Nb에 HAp의 첨가량을 0%, 5%, 10%, 15%로 변화를 주었고, 밀링은 고에너지볼밀링기를 이용하여 0~8시간 동안 실시하였다. 그 결과 밀링 시간이 증가할수록 합금 분말의 크기가 미세해졌으며, 특히 8시간 밀링시 분말의 크기가 나노 크기로 감소하여 기계적 특성(경도 및 강도)이 우수해지는 것을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, suspension polymerized toners were prepared by using poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) as an organic suspending agent. Styrene and butylacrylate monomers were used simultaneously with carbon black to prepare microspherical polymerized toners with a narrow-particle size distribution. Preliminary particles without carbon black were polymerized first to optimize suspension polymerization conditions. The preliminary particles were prepared at various polymerization conditions and their characteristics were compared to each other to determine an optimized polymerization condition. The black polymerized toner prepared at the optimized polymerization condition showed reasonable particle size and shape, and good thermal and printing characteristics by showing its glass transition temperature at $53.6^{\circ}C$.

Microcapsules consisting of natural, biodegradable polymers for controlled and/or sustained core release applications are needed. Physicochemical properties of whey proteins suggest that they may be suitable wall materials in developing such microcapsules. The objectives of the research were to develop water-insoluble, whey protein-based microcapsules containing a model water-soluble drug using a chemical cross-linking agent, glutaraldehyde, and to investigate core release from these capsules at simulated physiological conditions. A model water soluble drug, theophylline, was suspended in whey protein isolate (WPI) solution. The suspension was dispersed in a mixture of dichloromethane and hexane containing 1% biomedical polyurethane. Protein matrices were cross-linked with 7.5-30 ml of glutaraldehyde-saturated toluene (GAST) for 1-3 hr. Microcapsules were harvested, washed, dried and analyzed for core retention, microstructure, and core release in enzyme-free simulated gastric fluid (SGF) and simulated intestinal fluid (SIF) at 37$^{\circ}C$, A method consisting of double emulsification and heat gelation was also developed to prepare water-insoluble, whey protein-based microcapsules containing anhydrous milkfat (AMF) as a model apolar core. AMF was emulsified into WPI solution (15-30%, pH 4.5-7.2) at a proportion of 25-50% (w/w, on dry basis). The oil-in-water emulsion was then added and dispersed into corn oil (50 $^{\circ}C$)to form an O/W/O double emulsion and then heated at 85$^{\circ}C$ for 20 min for gelation of whey protein wall matrix. Effects of emulsion composition and pH on core retention, microstructure, and water-solubility of microcapsules were determined. Overall results suggest that whey proteins can be used in developing microcapsules for controlled and sustained core release applications.

In situ composites containing a thermotropic liquid crystalline polymer were prepared by polycondensation of 1,4-bis(p-hydroxy-benzoyloxy)butane with 2-bromoterephthaloyl chloride in a poly(methyl methacrylate) solution. Morphology and mechanical, thermal properties of the composites were examined by differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), dynamic mechanical thermal analyser(DMTA), optical microscope and scanning electron microscope(SEM). The TLCP domains showed nematic phase. The glass transition temperature($T_g$) and mechanical properties of the PMMA in the composites increased with increasing the content of TLCP. The TLCP domains were finely dispersed in the PMMA matrix. The 20 wt % TLCP/PMMA composite prepared by in situ polymerization showed more improved mechanical property with finely well dispersed morphology compared with that prepared by solution blending of the same composition.

Mono-dispersed polyamide 6(Nylon 6) micro-particles sized in $4{\sim}5\;{\mu}m$ diameter were prepared by dispersion polymerization of ${\varepsilon}-caprolactam$ in liquid paraffin as a dispersion medium. Potassium metal(K) as a catalyst was separately added twice over the anionic ring-opening polymerization of ${\varepsilon}-caprolactam$. The size, shape, and size-distribution of prepared particles were varied with the concentration of anti-coagulant as well as the amount of initiator and catalyst. As the initiator concentration was in the range of $0.97{\sim}1.17\;wt%$ in monomer, about 90.6% of yield was accomplished. In addition, the highest yield of well-spherically shaped micro-particles was achieved by adding about $1.3{\sim}1.4\;wt%$ of catalyst.

Color laser printers are nowadays abused to print or forge official documents and bills. Identifying color laser printers will be a step for media forensics. This paper presents a new method to identify color laser printers with printed color images. Since different printer companies use their own printing process, each of printed papers from different printers has a little different invisible noise. After the wiener-filter is used to analyze the invisible noises from each printer, we extract some features from these noises by calculating a gray level co-occurrence matrix. Then, these features are applied to train and classify the support vector machine for identifying the color laser printer. In the experiment, we use total 2,597 images from 7 color laser printers. The results prove that the presented identification method performs well using the noise features of color printed images.

아라미드 섬유는 태양광의 직사광선에 계속 노출될 경우 120주 경과 후에는 강도가 3분의 1로 떨어지는 단점이 있다. 이와 같은 단점을 보완하기 위해 나노 크기의 금속산화물인 $TiO_2$ 졸-겔 나노합성법을 이용하여 나노졸을 제조하고 이를 직물에 함침하는 공정을 통하여 아라미드 섬유의 내광성 증진에 대해 연구하였다. TTIP, TEOS 등의 금속전구체를 이용하여 구형의 나노졸 합성에 의한 $TiO_2$ 나노졸을 수분산형태의 졸로서 섬유가공 공정상에 접목하였다. 제조된 나노크기의 $TiO_2$ 입자분포와 크기, 미세구조 및 결정상을 알아보기 위해 입도분포분석기, TEM, XRD를 이용하였다. $TiO_2$ 나노졸을 함침한 아라미드 직물은 내광성은 24, 48, 96시간 동안 Xenon-arc 광조사한 후, 물성변화를 분석하였다. 나노졸 합성시 반응물의 농도 및 용액의 pH 조건에 따른 나노졸의 미세구조를 TEM을 이용하여 관찰한 결과, 반응물의 농도에 따라 평균입도는 313.7nm, 500.5nm, 840.3nm, 1002nm로 커졌다. 하지만, 반응물의 농도가 증가할수록 시간이 지남에 따라 입자들이 층 분리 현상이 관찰되었으며, 단분산된 나노졸 입자를 제조하기 위해서는 TTIP의 투입량을 0.67mole(200ml)로 유지하였다. 또한 이를 아라미드 직물에 함침하여 광조사 시간에 따른 아라미드 섬유의 물리적 특성의 변화를 분석하였다.

This study is to investigate changes of pore structure with different burn-off degree of steam activated carbons manufactured from domestic anthracite. The activated carbons were characterized by adsorption of nitrogen at 77 K. Steam activation substantially enhanced the porosity of the activated carbons. Burn-off increased linearly according to increasing activation time, and total pore volume and BET surface area increased with burn-off. Activation at $800^{\circ}C$ increased more micropore volume than that at $950^{\circ}C$. Activated carbons manufactured at high temperature had less microporosity than that at lower temperature, but had more developed macroporosity. The steam activation produced an enlargement of pore below $100{\AA}$ diameter in the activated carbons. Furthermore, the porosity in the $6{\sim}40{\AA}$ pore diameters range increased considerably with the degree of burn-off.
