$SmCoO_3$ system was investigated for their application to themoelectric materials. All specimens showed p-type semiconducting behavior and their electrical conductivity ($\sigma$), Seebeck coefficient (S) and power factor were measured at high temperature. And the effect of dopant ions on their thermoelectrical properties were also investigated. $Fe^{3+}$ ion doped into $Co^{3+}$ site enhanced the Seebeck coefficient and decreased the electrical conductivity simultaneously. The maximum Seebeck coefficient value for 60% doping case reached to 780 ${\mu}V$/K at $240^{\circ}C$. However $Fe^{3+}$ doped system cause an negative effect on power factor value. In case of the pure phase, the maximum Seebeck coefficient value reached to 290 ${\mu}V$/K at $240^{\circ}C$ and the maximum electrical conductivity was obtained 748 1/(ohm$\times$cm) at $960^{\circ}C$. As a result, the maximum power factor was obtained $1.49\times10^{-4}$ W/$mK^2$ at $550^{\circ}C$.

PURPOSE. To determine wear amount of single molar crowns, made from four different restoratives, and opposing natural teeth through computerized fabrication techniques using 3D image alignment. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 24 single crowns (N = 24 patients, age range: 18 - 50) were made from lithium disilicate (IPS E-max CAD), lithium silicate and zirconia based (Vita Suprinity CAD), resin matrix ceramic material (Cerasmart, GC), and dual matrix (Vita Enamic CAD) blocks. After digital impressions (Cerec 3D Bluecam, DentsplySirona), the crowns were designed and manufactured (Cerec 3, DentsplySirona). A dualcuring resin cement was used for cementation (Variolink Esthetic DC, Ivoclar). Then, measurement and recording of crowns and the opposing enamel surfaces with the intraoral scanner were made as well as at the third and sixth month follow-ups. All measurements were superimposed with a software (David-Laserscanner, V3.10.4). Volume loss due to wear was calculated from baseline to follow-up periods with Siemens Unigraphics NX 10 software. Statistical analysis was accomplished by Repeated Measures for ANOVA (SPSS 21) at = .05 significance level. RESULTS. After 6 months, insignificant differences of the glass matrix and resin matrix materials for restoration/enamel wear were observed (P>.05). While there were no significant differences between the glass matrix groups (P>.05), significant differences between the resin matrix group materials (P<.05) were obtained. Although Cerasmart and Enamic were both resin matrix based, they exhibited different wear characteristics. CONCLUSION. Glass matrix materials showed less wear both on their own and opposing enamel surfaces than resin matrix ceramic materials.

전통적인 Metal-ceramic 보철 제작 방식으로부터 All-ceramic 보철에 이르기까지 최근 신소재 개발에 영향을 주는 가장 큰 요인은 심미적인 욕구일 것이다. 우리가 사용하는 각각의 치과용 수복 재료는 재료 별로 강도, 인성, 기계 가공의 효율성 및 사용에 필요한 다양한 과정을 기반으로 임상에서 다양하게 사용되고 있다. 예를 들어 Glass ceramic과 같은 단일 소재의 경우 약한 물성을 고려하여 주로 싱글 크라운과 같은 간단한 보철에 사용하고 있으며 상대적으로 높은 파괴 인성을 가진 지르코니아 재료의 경우 싱글 크라운은 물론 브릿지의 제작에도 널리 사용하고 있다. 하지만 지르코니아 재료는 제작 과정에서 긴 Sintering 시간을 필요로 하므로 Chair side에서 빠른 보철물 제작에 쉽지 않은 부분이 있으며 주로 Lab. side에서 사용하고 있다. CAD / CAM 시스템을 이용하여 보철물을 제작하는 용도로 개발 된 Hybrid ceramic 소재는 Resin Nano Hybrid Ceramic이라고도 하며, 개선 된 물성을 포함한 나노 세라믹 요소를 기반으로 하고 있다. 이러한 특징들은 심미적이며 기능적인 보철물의 제작이 용이한 과정과 결과를 보이고 있으며 동시에 향상된 내구성을 바탕으로 보철물의 제작 과정에 유리한 조건들을 가지고 있다. 새로운 Nano Hybrid Ceramic 재료는 Composite Resin과 Glass ceramic과 같은 단일 소재들이 가진 장점들을 이용하여 술자들의 요구사항을 바탕으로 오랜 연구를 통해 개발된 치과 수복 아이템이며 Nano ceramic filler가 혼합된 구조로 되어있어 치과 수복용 복합소재로서 널리 사용하고 있다. 또한 Nano Hybrid Ceramic소재는 Composite resin의 가공 과정에서 쉽게 파절되지 않는 개선된 물성과 Glass ceramic이 가진 심미성 동시에 포함하고 있는 것이 특징이다. 따라서 Chair side와 Lab. side에서 CAD/CAM 시스템을 이용하여 보철물을 제작할 때 임상적용이 쉽고 유용한 장점을 가지고 있어 추가적인 연구가 필요하다.

Tribological properties of whiteware with various transparent glazes, which have different composition and microstructure, were investigated. The wear resistance and friction behavior of the glazed whiteware are a very important aspect if the whiteware is used as tableware and for sanitation purposes. Generally, the wear property is influenced by the microstructure and surface morphology of the material. The whiteware specimens with two kinds of transparent glazes were fabricated by using the commercially available porcelain body. Furthermore, the commercial tableware, such as bone china, and traditional tableware were also examined as reference materials. All of the specimens showed that different pore structures might affect the mechanical and tribological properties. It seems that the wear resistance of whiteware is substantially related to the pore size and distribution of glaze rather than the hardness value of the specimen.

All-solid-state batteries have received increasing attention because of their high safety aspect and high energy and power densities. However, the inferior solid-solid interfaces between solid electrolyte and active materials in electrode, which cause high interfacial resistance, reduce ion and electron transfer rate and limit battery performance. Recently, spark plasma sintering is emerging as a promising technique for fabricating solid electrolytes and composite-electrodes. Herein, this paper focuses on the overview of spark plasma sintering to fabricate solid electrolytes and composite-electrodes for all-solid-state batteries. In the end, future opportunities and challenges associated with SPS technique for all-solid-state batteries are described.

In order to improve the high temperature oxidation resistance and lifespan of mat type porous carbon insulation, SiC was coated on carbon insulation by solution coating using polycarbosilane solution, curing in an oxidizing atmosphere at $200^{\circ}C$, and pyrolysis at temperatures up to $1200^{\circ}C$. The SiOC phase formed during the pyrolysis process was converted into SiC crystals as the heat treatment temperature increased, and a SiC coating with a thickness of 10-15 nm was formed at $1600^{\circ}C$. The SiC coated specimen showed a weight reduction of 8.6 % when it was kept in an atmospheric environment of $700^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. On the other hand, the thermal conductivity was 0.17 W/mK, and no difference between states before and after coating was observed at all.

Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) have been rapidly expanding from IT based applications to uses in electric vehicles (EVs), smart grids, and energy storage systems (ESSs), all of which require low cost, high energy density and high power density. The increasing demand for LIBs has resulted in increasing price of the lithium source, which is a major obstacle to wider application. To date, the possible depletion of lithium resources has become relevant, giving rise to the interest in Na-ion batteries (NIBs) as promising alternatives to LIBs. A lot of transition metal compounds based on conversion-alloying reaction have been extensively investigated to meet the requirement for the anodes with high energy density and long life-time. In-depth understanding the electrochemical reaction mechanisms for the transition metal compounds makes it promising negative anode for NIBs and provides feasible strategy for low cost and large-scale energy storage system in the near future.

건축물 에너지 사용량과 온실가스 배출량 감소를 목적으로, 열적 물성 등이 향상된 새로운 단열소재가 개발 사용되는 추세이다. 이중 기존 단열소재의 문제점 (가연성, 처짐, 수분 취약성, 단열성능 저하 등)을 보완한 미네랄 하이드레이트 소재가 새롭게 사용되고 있다. 미네랄 하이드레이트는 건축물 구조체로 사용되는 ALC의 제조방법과 유사하나, 구조체가 아닌 단열소재만으로 사용된다는 특징을 갖는다. 미네랄 하이드레이트 제조를 위해서는 시멘트, 생석회 및 무수석고 등이 사용되며, 무수석고는 전량 수입에 의존하고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 수입대체효과 뿐만 아니라, 폐기물 재활용 측면에서 무수석고를 대체하여 석유제조 공정 부산 탈황석고를 사용하고자 하였다. 탈황석고를 미네랄 하이드레이트 원료로 사용할 경우, 무수석고 전량과 생석회 일부를 대체할 수 있었다. 더불어 탈황석고를 사용한 미네랄 하이드레이트는 기존 무수석고 사용시와 유사한 열적, 물리적 특성도 발현되었다.

Purpose: The objective of this study was to evaluate the effects of hydrofluoric acid concentration & etching time on the shear bond strength between IPS Empress 2 ceramic and resin cement. Material and methods: Thirty three rectangular shape ceramic specimens($20{\times}12{\times}5mm$ size, IPS Empress 2 core materials) were used for this study. The ceramic specimens divided into ten experimental groups with three specimens in each group and were etched with hydrofluoric acid(4%, 9%) according to different etching times(30s, 60s, 90s, 120s, 180s). Etched surfaces of ceramic specimens were bonded with resin cement(Rely X Unicorn) using acrylic glass tube. All cemented specimens were tested under shear loading until fracture on universal testing machine at a crosshead speed of 0.5mm/min and the maximum load at fracture(kg) was recorded. Collected shear bond strength data were analyzed with one way ANOVA and Duncan tests. All etched ceramic surfaces were examined morphologically using SEM(scanning electron microscopy). Results: Shear bond strength of etching group$(35.89{\sim}68.01MPa)$ had four to seven times greater than no-etching group$(9.53{\pm}2.29MPa)$. The ceramic specimen etched with 4% hydrofluoric acid for 60s showed the maximum shear bond strength$(68.01{\pm}11.78MPa)$. Ceramic surface etched with 4% hydrofluoric acid for 60s showed most retentive surface texture. Conclusion: It is considered that 60s etching with 4% hydrofluoric acid is optimal etching methods for IPS Empress 2 ceramic bonding.

In this study, we investigate the effect of the$Li_3BO_3$ additive on the densification and ionic conductivity of garnet-type $Li_7La_3Zr_2O_{12}$ solid electrolytes for all-solid-state lithium batteries. We analyze their densification behavior with the addition of $Li_3BO_3$ in the range of 2-10 wt.% by dilatometer measurements and isothermal sintering. Dilatometry analysis reveals that the sintering of $Li_7La_3Zr_2O_{12}-Li_3BO_3$ composites is characterized by two stages, resulting in two peaks, which show a significant dependence on the $Li_3BO_3$ additive content, in the shrinkage rate curves. Sintered density and total ion conductivity of the system increases with increasing $Li_3BO_3$ content. After sintering at $1100^{\circ}C$ for 8 h, the $Li_7La_3Zr_2O_{12}-8$ wt.% $Li_3BO_3$ composite shows a total ionic conductivity of $1.61{\times}10^{-5}Scm^{-1}$, while that of the pure $Li_7La_3Zr_2O_{12}$ is only $5.98{\times}10^{-6}Scm^{-1}$.
