The present study investigated the flexural behavior of reinforced concrete (RC) beams strengthened with an ultrahigh performance concrete (UHPC) panel having various thicknesses. Two fabrication methods were introduced in this study; one was the direct casting of UHPC onto the bottom surface of the RC beams (I-series), and the other was the attachment of a prefabricated UHPC panel using an adhesive (E-series). UHPC panels having thicknesses of 10, 30, 50, and 70 mm were applied to RC beams, and these specimens were subjected to four-point loading to assess the effect of the UHPC thickness on the flexural strengthening of RC beams. The test results indicated that the peak strength and initial stiffness were vastly enhanced with an increase in the thickness of the UHPC panel, showing an improved energy dissipation capacity. In particular, the peak strength of the E-series specimens was higher than that of I-series specimens, showing high compatibility between the RC beam and the UHPC panel. The experimental test results were comparatively explored with a discussion of numerical analysis. Numerical analysis results showed that the predictions are in fair agreement with experimental results.

본 연구에서는 우리나라 치과임상에서 사용되고 있는 치과인상재의 종류 및 채득 방법에 대해 조사해보기 위해 실시되었으며, 설문조사는 전국치과병(의)원 치과의사를 대상으로 기관당 1부씩 자기기입식 방법을 통해 조사하였으며, 수집된 자료는 SPSS 20.0을 사용하여 통계 처리하여 분석하였다. 그 결과 인상재의 종류별 진료 내용에서는 대부분의 진료에서 부가중합형 인상재의 사용빈도가 가장 높았다. 인상채득방법은 점도에 분류에 의한 light body와 heavy body를 사용하는 흐름성이 다른 인상재를 한번에 채득하는 방법을 가장 선호하는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 임플란트 인상채득방법에는 직접법과 간접법 모두 흐름성이 다른 두 가지 고무인상재를 한번에 채득하는 방법이 가장 선호되었다. 일반적인 특성에 따른 주조수복재와 보철물의 인상채득방법에서는 각각 연령과 임상경력에서 통계적으로 유의한 차이를 보였다. 본 연구결과는 임상에서 주로 사용되고 있는 인상재의 종류를 파악해보고 치과전문가에게 요구되는 인상재의 선호도에 따른 이론과 실무에 대한 업무개발에 도움이 될 수 있으리라 판단된다.

PURPOSE. The aim of the study was to evaluate the effect of annealing on the nanostructure and hardness of Co-Cr metal ceramic samples that were fabricated with a direct metal laser sintering (DMLS) technique. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Five groups of Co-Cr dental alloy samples were manufactured in a rectangular form measuring $4{\times}2{\times}2$ mm. Samples fabricated by a conventional casting technique (Group I) and prefabricated milling blanks (Group II) were examined as conventional technique groups. The DMLS samples were randomly divided into three groups as not annealed (Group III), annealed in argon atmosphere (Group IV), or annealed in oxygen atmosphere (Group V). The nanostructure was examined with the small-angle X-ray scattering method. The Rockwell hardness test was used to measure the hardness changes in each group, and the means and standard deviations were statistically analyzed by one-way ANOVA for comparison of continuous variables and Tukey's HSD test was used for post hoc analysis. P values of <.05 were accepted as statistically significant. RESULTS. The general nanostructures of the samples were composed of small spherical entities stacked atop one another in dendritic form. All groups also displayed different hardness values depending on the manufacturing technique. The annealing procedure and environment directly affected both the nanostructure and hardness of the Co-Cr alloy. Group III exhibited a non-homogeneous structure and increased hardness ($48.16{\pm}3.02$ HRC) because the annealing process was incomplete and the inner stress was not relieved. Annealing in argon atmosphere of Group IV not only relieved the inner stresses but also decreased the hardness ($27.40{\pm}3.98$ HRC). The results of fitting function presented that Group IV was the most homogeneous product as the minimum bilayer thickness was measured (7.11 ${\AA}$). CONCLUSION. After the manufacturing with DMLS technique, annealing in argon atmosphere is an essential process for Co-Cr metal ceramic substructures. The dentists should be familiar with the materials that are used in clinic for prosthodontics treatments.

본 연구에서는 용액 캐스팅법을 이용하여 각기 다른 함량의 VMT가 첨가된 SPAES/VMT 복합막이 제조되었다. SPAES 매트릭스 내의 VMT입자 분산은 전자주사현미경으로 관찰된 평균분포에 의해 확인되었다. 1 wt%보다 적은 함량을 포함한 복합막은 고분자 매트릭스 내에 좋은 분산성을 나타내어 막의 상부층과 하부층에 매끈한 표면을 가졌다. 복합막의 함수율은 온도가 증가함에 따라 급격하게 증가되었으며 VMT는 높은 이온교환능력으로 인하여 강한 수분친화도를 가짐으로 인해 높은 모든 흡착된 수분은 bound water인 것으로 확인하였다. VMT의 함량이 1 wt%보다 적게 첨가된 복합막에서 증가된 이온전도도와 낮아진 메탄올 투과도를 확인할 수 있었다. 모든 복합막 중에서 SPAES/VMT 1.0 wt% 복합막은 선택도 측면에서 가장 뛰어난 연료전지 성능을 가졌으며 Nafion 112과 비교하여 두배 이상 우수한 값을 나타내었다. 이것은 SPAES/VMT 1.0 wt% 복합막이 직접메탄올 연료전지의 구동을 위한 가장 우수한 조건이 될것이라 사료된다.
