PURPOSE. The accuracy of denture bases was compared among injection molding, milling, and rapid prototyping (RP) fabricating method. MATERIALS AND METHODS. The maxillary edentulous master cast was fabricated and round shaped four notches were formed. The cast was duplicated to ten casts and scanned. In the injection molding method, designed denture bases were milled from a wax block and fabricated using SR Ivocap injection system. Denture bases were milled from a pre-polymerized block in the milling method. In the RP method, denture bases were printed and post-cured. The intaglio surface of the base was scanned and surface matching software was used to measure inaccuracy. Measurements were performed between four notches and two points in the mid-palatal suture to evaluate inaccuracy. The palatine rugae resolution was evaluated. One-way analysis of variance was used for statistical analysis at ${\alpha}=.05$. RESULTS. No statistically significant differences in distances among four notches (P>.05). The accuracy of the injection molding method was lower than those of the other methods in two points of the mid-palatal suture significantly (P<.05). The degree of palatine rugae resolution was significantly higher in the injection molding method than that in other methods (P<.05). CONCLUSION. The overall accuracy of the denture base is higher in milling and RP method than the injection molding method. The degree of fine reproducibility is higher in the injection molding method than the milling or RP method.

Traditional cell culture(2-dimensional) is the method that provide a nutrient and environment on a flat surface to cultivate cells into a single layer. Since the cell characteristics of 2D culture method is different from the characteristics of the cells cultured in the body, attempts to cultivate the cells in an environment similar to the body environment are actively proceeding in the industry, academy, and research institutes. In this study, we will develop a technology to fabricate micro-structures capable of culturing cells on surfaces with various curvatures, surface shapes, and characteristics. In order to fabricate the hemispheric plastic structure(thickness $50{\mu}m$), plastic preform mold (hereinafter as "preform mold") corresponding to the hemisphere was first prepared by injection molding in order to fabricate a two - layer structure to be combined with a flat plastic film. Then, thermoplastic polymer dissolved in an organic solvent was solidified on a preform mold. As a preliminary study, we proposed injection molding conditions that can minimize X/Y/Z axis deflection value. The effects of the following conditions on the preform mold were analyzed through injection molding CAE, [(1) coolant inlet temperature, (2) injection time, (3) packing pressure, (4) volume-pressure (V/P). As a result, the injection molding process conditions (cooling water inlet temperature, injection time, holding pressure condition (V / P conversion point and holding pressure size)) which can minimize the deformation amount of the preform mold were derived through CAE without applying the experimental design method. Also, the derived injection molding process conditions were applied during actual injection molding and the degree of deformation of the formed preform mold was compared with the analysis results. It is expected that plastic film having various shapes in addition to hemispherical shape using the preform mold produced through this study will be useful for the molding preform molding technology and cast molding technology.

Currently, for the damper case, the material produced by cast/forge welding is mechanically processed and then the final product is mass-produced. By cutting the cast/forge welded material, the issues of excessive cutting time, multiple process production, and a large amount of chips (40% loss from the original material) arise, causing increased production cost and reduced profitability. Thus, in this study, the incremental forming technology which generates no chips was applied in production. Analysis was excuted for 1st and 2nd works by change of tool diameter and working tool. For this, 3D molding and analysis were executed, which was applied to the processing the result, successful processing could be achieved through a few trials of molding processing according to tool forming and rotation counts.

The purpose of this study is to inquire about the effects of individual tray design and impression method on the border extension and contour of denture. 10 students at the dentistry college who have normal occlusion and symmetric facial form and normal facial muscle activity were selected. The tray was designed three types (large, medium, small tray). After border molding was done by dentist and operator, final impression was taken. The length of impression body and width of border were measured by a vernier caliper on the cast. The obtained results were as follows : 1. As the tray border was shortened, the length of impression body and width of border was short (P<0.01). 2. When the impression was taken with the small tray, the length of impression body was short in passive border molding than active border molding. 3. When the medium tray was used, the width of impression body was short in passive border molding than active border molding.

The research was conducted to understand type of iron used by those who lived at dwelling site of Yangsoo-ri in between the first century B.C. and the first century A.D. to make steel products and their technique such as steel making process and heat treatment, based on micro structure information obtained through microscopic metallographic structure analysis with SEM-EDS of six steel productsexhumed at the site. Key findings are summarized as below. In the sense that Si-Ca-Al style and less than 0.5% of Ti were found in the non-metallic inclusion, the material used for forged iron ware was magnetite resolved in that. It is, however, unclear whether magnetite was resolved at high temperature or at low temperature. Microscopic structure analysis revealed that forged steel products were made through repeated hot working, the technique of molding by hitting after heating in the process of resolving and molding iron. As a result, the iron used here for the products was not the iron ore which was produced through resolution from discarded cast iron axe, ingot iron. It is probable that to make those steel products, disposed-of cast iron was reused after being molded by decarburizing. Although a few of relics were analyzed for the research, they were of critical importance in defining the process of ironware production from the first century B.C. and the first century A.D. at the Yangsoo-ri region. Judging from the iron from A-19 dwellingsite, it is possible to conclude that the iron was manufactured from cast iron decarburized and yet more research has to be done into relics yetto be exhumed in order to ascertain the finding. All of these findings are believed to play a critical role in further studies to define the steel-manufacturing technique used on the central Korean peninsular in the ancient times.

Polyaniline Emeraldine salt (PANI-salt) prepared by the common chemical oxidative polymerization caused the corrosion of the metallic injection mold by protonic acid such as HCl which used as a dopant. PANI-salt, polyaniline doped with dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid (DBSA), was obtained by the emulsion polymerization in nonpolar organic solvent, toluene. In this study DBSA was used as a dopant along with a surfactant. PANI-salt and high impact polystyrene (HIPS) have a good solubility in toluene. Blends with different ratio of PANI and HIPS were prepared through a solution-cast blending. The structure of PANI-salt was characterized by FT-IR and UV-Vis. The morphology, thermal, and electrical properties for PANI-HIPS blends were investigated. Injection molded under $103^{\circ}C$, 120 psi, PANI-HIPS showed the highest electrical conductivity ($6.02{\times}10^{-5}\;S/cm$) after blending PANI (50 mL) and HIPS (1 g).

The effects of addition of magnesium only and the simultaneous addition of magnesium and aluminum on the graphite morphology of the cast iron with the composition of 3.6wt.% and 2.5wt.%Si poured into shell stack mold were investigated. The nodularity and mechanical properties of the specimen with smaller cross-section were higher than those with langer one, when copper was not added. When the magnesium only was added, the nodularity was decreased with decreased residual magnesium content and the C. V, graphite was obtained with the magnesium content in the range of 0.010~0.015wt.%. When the magnesium and aluminum were added together, the nodularity was decreased with decreased residual magnesium and increased aluminum contents. When copper was added, the volume fraction of pearlite in the matrix, strength and hardness were higher and elongation was lower for specimen with smaller cross-section. The volume fraction of pearlite, strength and hardness were increased and the elongation was decreased with increased copper content for the specimen with C, V, graphite.
