대기압하에서 소결이 어렵다고 알려진 초이온 전도체인 $K^+$-beta-aluminas를 attrition mill을 이용하여 약 350 nm의 평균 입도를 가지는 분말로 분쇄한 후, 시편을 일축가압 성형하여 상압 하에서 동일조성의 분위기 분말을 이용하여 소결하였다. 소결온도는 $1400^{\circ}C{\sim}1650^{\circ}C$까지 $50^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 소결하였으며, 각 소결온도에서 시간에 따른 소결특성을 살펴보았다. 또한 고온에서 입자 성장 속도를 조절하기 위하여 $1600^{\circ}C$에서 zone sintering을 실시하였다. $1600^{\circ}C$와 $1650^{\circ}C$에서 소결한 경우와 $1600^{\circ}C$에서 zone sintering한 시편의 경우, 각각 약 93%와 95%의 소결 밀도를 나타내었다. $1600^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서 2 h 이상 장시간 소결할 경우, 입자의 거대성장으로 인하여 소결밀도가 90% 미만으로 감소하였다.

Crystal structure and chemical compositions of Plasma electrolytic oxidized layer of A-1100, A-2024, A-5052, A-6061, A-6063, A-7075, ACD-7B and ACD-12 were investigated. The electrolyte for plasma electrolytic oxidation was mixture of distilled water, $Na_2P_2O_7$, Cu, Cr metal salts and KOH. ${\eta}$-Alumina, as well as ${\alpha}$-alumina, was main crystal phase. Another crystals such as $(Al_{0.948}Cr_{0.052})_2O_3$ and $(Al_{0.9}Cr_{0.1})_2O_3$ were also formed in the oxide layer. It was thought that the effect of electrolyte compositions on the physical properties and crystal system of PEO layers was greater than the effect of Al alloy composition variation.

PURPOSE. Although several surface treatments have been recently investigated both under in vitro and in vivo conditions, controversy still exists regarding the selection of the most appropriate zirconia surface pre-treatment. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of alumina (Al) and aluminium nitride (AlN) coating on the shear bond strength of adhesive resin cement to zirconia core. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Fifty zirconia core discs were divided into 5 groups; air particle abrasion with 50 ${\mu}m$ aluminum oxide particles ($Al_2O_3$), polishing + Al coating, polishing + AlN coating, air particle abrasion with 50 ${\mu}m$ $Al_2O_3$ + Al coating and air particle abrasion with 50 ${\mu}m$ $Al_2O_3$ + AlN coating. Composite resin discs were cemented to each of specimens. Shear bond strength (MPa) was measured using a universal testing machine. The effects of the surface preparations on each specimen were examined with scanning electron microscope (SEM). Data were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA (${\alpha}$=.05). RESULTS. The highest bond strengths were obtained by air abrasion with 50 ${\mu}m$ $Al_2O_3$, the lowest bond strengths were obtained in polishing + Al coating group (P<.05). CONCLUSION. Al and AlN coatings using the reactive magnetron sputtering technique were found to be ineffective to increase the bond strength of adhesive resin cement to zirconia core.

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are attractive for field emitter because of their outstanding electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties. Several applications using CNTs as field emitters have been demonstrated such as field emission display (FED), backlight unit (BLU), and X-ray source. In this study, we fabricated a CNT cathode using transparent ultra-thin CNT film. First, CNT aqueous solution was prepared by ultrasonically dispersing purified single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in deionized water with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). To obtain the CNT film, the CNT solution in a milliliter or even several tens of micro-litters was deposited onto a porous alumina membrane through vacuum filtration process. Thereafter, the alumina membrane was solvated by the 3 M NaOH solution and the floating CNT film was easily transferred to an indium-tin-oxide (ITO) glass substrate of $0.5\times0.5cm^2$ with a film mask. The transmittance of as-prepared ultra-thin CNT films measured by UV-Vis spectrophotometer was 68~97%, depending on the amount of CNTs dispersed in an aqueous solution. Roller activation, which is a essential process to improve the field emission characteristics of CNT films, increased the UV-Vis transmittance up to 93~98%. This study presents SEM morphology of CNT emitters and their field emission properties according to the concentration of CNTs in an aqueous solutions. Since the ultra-thin CNT emitters prepared from the solutions show a high peak current density of field emission comparable to that of the paste-base CNT emitters and do not contain outgassing sources such as organic binders, they are considered to be very promising for small-size-but-high-end applications including X-ray sources and microwave power amplifiers.

세공분포가 서로 다른 두 종류(KHT, X-5)의 ${\gamma}$-알루미나 pellet에 아황산가스를 흡착 제거시킬 경우 반응이 진행되면서 각각의 세공벽에 반응생성층이 형성되어 반응속도 상수($K_v$), 세공률(${\varepsilon}_p$), 유효내부 확산계수($D_e$)의 변화와 세공반경이 줄어들어 세공막힘 현상이 일어나게 된다. 이들 영향을 고려하여 세공분포를 이용한 Random pore model로 최적반응온도 $450^{\circ}C$에서 산화구리의 각 담지농도(4, 6, 8, l0 wt%)와 아황산가스의 농도(1000, 2000ppm)에 대한 전환율을 수학적 모델로부터 계산하였다. 산화구리의 담지농도가 증가할수록 세공내의 유효반응 표면적과 세공률의 감소, 내부확산저항의 증가, 미세세공의 세공막힘 현상으로 전환율은 감소하였다. 총괄 전환율은 ${\gamma}$-알루미나 pallet의 표면 국부 전환율에 크게 의존하였으며 산화구리의 담지농도가 낮고 아황산가스의 농도가 클수록 증가하였다. 반응기에 유입되는 아황산가스의 유속은 반응초기 CuO의 전환율에 영향을 주었고 세공분포가 발달하여 세공율이 큰 ${\gamma}$-알루미나 pellet일수록 전환율은 높게 나타났다.

Objectives: Alumina nanoparticles ($Al_2O_3$, Al-NPs) are used for various purposes, including as coating agents and paint additives. Their potential toxicity has raised concern for human health. This study focuses on exploring the toxic effects on the brain and kidneys caused by Al-NPs exposure in rats. Methods: The animals were orally administered Al-NPs at 10, 50 and 100 mg/kg body weight for 28 days following OECD TG 407. To determine the targeted toxicity of Al-NPs, histopathological examination and gene expression analysis were conducted on the rats. Results: The Al-NPs treatment induced kidney tubular dilatation. In the rat cerebrums, the expression levels of 126 genes experienced two-fold or greater increases in response to Al-NPs, including other genes encoding proteins involved in cell differentiation, transcription and signal transduction. In the rat kidneys, the expression levels of 152 genes also showed two-fold or greater increases in response to Al-NPs, including other genes encoding proteins involved in apoptosis, transcription and signal transduction. Conclusion: These results suggest that exposure to Al-NPs influences cellular signal pathways of kidney and cerebrum, and it can be a toxic indicators of nanometrials.

순수티타늄과 산화물계 주형재의 표변반응층을 제어하는 방법을 제시하기 위하여 치과용 인산염계 실리카·알루미나 주형재에 CP-Ti를 원심주조법으로 주조하고, 주조 후 냉각방법에 따른 치과용 티타늄 주조체의 표면반응층 및 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 주조체는 주조 후 냉각방법에 관계없이 다층구조의 표면 반응층을 보였으며, 특히 수냉 방법이 공냉에 비해 표면반응층의 두께가 얇게 형성되었고, 강도는 약하고 연신율은 높게 나타나서, 치과용주조체로 만족할만한 기계적 성질을 얻을 수 있었다. 이러한 결과는, 용해분위기에서 산소의 침입과 주조시 주형재의 반응을 주도하는 냉각속도의 차이에 기인하는 것으로 판단된다.

In this study, a corrosion failure analysis of a heat transport pipe was conducted, as the result of a pinhole leak. Interestingly, the corrosion damage occurred externally in the pipeline, resulting in severe thickness reduction near the seam line. Also, while a stable magnetite protective film formed on the inner surface, the manganese oxide formation occurred only on the outer surface. The interior and exterior of the pipe were composed of ferrite and pearlite. The large manganese sulfide and alumina inclusions were found near the seam line. In addition, the manganese sulfide inclusions resulted in grooving corrosion, which progressed in the seam line leading to the reduction in the thickness, followed by the exposure of the alumina in the matrix to the outer surface. To note, the corrosion was accelerated by pits generated from the boundaries separating the inclusions from the matrix, which resulted in pinhole leaks and water loss.

알루미늄드로스의 재활용은 알루미늄 재생지금 제조시에 요구되는 중요한 사항 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 국내 재생 알루미늄업체에서 발생된 알루미늄드로스를 처리하여 알루미나질 내화물 원료로 재활용하고자 하였다. 드로스 시료를 크기에 따라 선별하고, 1 mm보다 작은 크기의 드로스를 수산화나트륨 용액으로 침출하여 드로스 중의 잔류 알루미늄을 용액 중으로 분리 추출하고, 침출용액에서 석출반응에 의하여 수산화알루미늄을 회수하였다. 드로스 중의 금속알루미늄을 회수한 후 발생된 침출잔사는 수세, 건조, 배소와 같은 일련의 처리를 하여 드로스 중의 잔류 금속성분을 산화물 형태로 변환시켰다. 배소 처리한 드로스 잔사를 골재 및 점결제와 배합하여 알루미나질 캐스타블내화물을 만들고, 굽힘강도와 압축강도를 시험한 결과 KS 기준치인 굽힘강도 $25\;kg/\textrm{m}^2$ 이상, 압축강도 $80\;kg/\textrm{cm}^2$ 이상을 만족하였다. 본 연구결과를 알루미늄드로스를 효율적으로 재활용할 수 있는 한가지 방안으로 제안하고자 한다.

In this study, a process is developed for 3D printing with alumina ($Al_2O_3$). First, a photocurable slurry made from nanoparticle $Al_2O_3$ powder is mixed with hexanediol diacrylate binder and phenylbis(2,4,6-trimethylbenzoyl) phosphine oxide photoinitiator. The optimum solid content of $Al_2O_3$ is determined by measuring the rheological properties of the slurry. Then, green bodies of $Al_2O_3$ with different photoinitiator contents and UV exposure times are fabricated with a digital light processing (DLP) 3D printer. The dimensional accuracy of the printed $Al_2O_3$ green bodies and the number of defects are evaluated by carefully measuring the samples and imaging them with a scanning electron microscope. The optimum photoinitiator content and exposure time are 0.5 wt% and 0.8 s, respectively. These results show that $Al_2O_3$ products of various sizes and shapes can be fabricated by DLP 3D printing.
