The microstructure of Cu-15 wt%Ag composites fabricated by equal channel angular pressing (ECAP) with intermediate heat treatment at $320^{\circ}C$ was investigated by transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations. Ag precipitates with a thickness of 20-40 nm were observed in the eutectic region of the Cu-15 wt%Ag composite solution treated at $700^{\circ}C$ before ECAP. The Cu matrix and Ag precipitates had a cube on cube orientation relationship. ECAPed composites exhibited ultrafine-grained microstructures with the shape and distribution dependent on the processing routes. For route A in which the sample was pressed without rotation between each pass, the Cu and Ag grains were elongated along the shear direction and many micro-twins were observed in elongated Cu grains as well as in Ag filaments. The steps were observed on coherent twin boundaries in Cu grains. For route Bc in which the sample was rotated by 90 degrees after each pass, a subgrain structure with misorientation of 2-4 degree by fragmentation of the large Cu grains were observed. For route C in which the sample was rotated by 180 degrees after each pass, the microstructure was similar to that of the route A sample. However, the thickness of the elongated grains along the shear direction was wider than that of the route A sample and the twin density was lower than the route A sample. It was found that more microtwins were formed in ECAPed Cu-15 wt%Ag than in the drawn sample. Grain boundaries were observed in relatively thick and long Ag filaments in Cu-15 wt%Ag ECAPed by route C, indicating the multi-crystalline nature of Ag filaments.

Sm-Co소결자석의 자기적 특성에 미치는 Zr의 영향을 연구하기 위해 Zr함량별로 잉곳을 제조하여 용체화처리 및 시효 조건에 따른 소결자석의 미세구조와 자기적 특성을 조사하였다. Sm(C $O_{.688-x}$F $e_{.242}$C $u_{.07}$Z $r_{x}$)$_{7.404}$ (0.013$\leq$x$\leq$0.026) 합금의 주조조직은 x가 증가함에 따라 공정조직의 분율이 작아지고 공정 영역의 크기가 감소하였다. 반면, 수지상 조직은 x=0.022합금이 가장 미세하였다. Sm(C $O_{.688-x}$F $e_{.242}$C $u_{.07}$Z $r_{x}$)$_{7.404}$ 소결자석은 Sm $Co_{5}$상과 S $m_2$C $O_{17}$상으로 이루어진 셀 구조를 형성하며 셀 경계상인 Sm $Co_{5}$상의 두께는 20nm이고 120$^{\circ}$의 각을 갖고 형성되었다. 또한, Zr 함량이 증가함에 따라 셀 크기가 감소하였다. 그러나 x=0.026 합금은 셀 경계가 분명하게 정의되지 않고 셀 형태가 x=0.022합금에 비해 불규칙하였다. 이러한 미세조직 차이로 인해 x=0.022 합금의 자기적 특성이 가장 높았다. Sm(C $O_{.688-x}$F $e_{.242}$C $u_{.07}$Z $r_{x}$)$_{7.404}$ 합금의 최적 용체화처리온도는 117$0^{\circ}C$였고, 보자력 향상을 위한 2단시효 공정중 최적의 1단 시효 온도는 85$0^{\circ}C$였다.

It is well established that dissolution is freruently the rate limiting step in the gastrointestinal absorpton of a drug from a solid dosage from. The relationship between the dissolution rate and absorption is particularly distinct when considering drugs of low solubility. Consequently, numerous attempts have been made to modify the dissolution characteristics of poorly water soluble drugs. Since dissolution rate is directly proportional to surface area, one may increase the rate by decreasing the particle size of the drug. Levy has considered a number of methods by which a drug may be presented to the GI fludids in finely divided from. The direct method is the utilization of microcrystalline or micronized particles. A second method involves the administration of solutions from which, upon dilution with gastric fluids, the dissolved drug will precipitate in the form of very fine particles. A more unique way of obtaining microcrystalline dispersions of a drug has been ercently suggested by Sekiguchi et al. They have first proposed the formation of a eutectic mixture of a poorly water soruble drug with a physiologically inert, easily soluble carrier. When such systems are exposed to water or GI fluids, the soluble carrier will dissolve rapidly and the finely dispersed drug particles will then be released. It has been suggested by Shefter and Higuchi that the formation of crystalline solvate could be a powerful tool in affecting rapid disslution of highly insoluble substances. Goldberg et al. have noted that the formation of solid solution could reduce the particle size to a minimum and increase the dissolution rate as well as the solubility of the durgs. It has also been shown that the rates of solution of drugs were appreciably increased by coprectipitating the drug with soluble polymers. The increase was found to be sensitive to the method of preparation, the molecular weight of polymer and the particular ratio of drugs to polymer. Although several investigations have demontrated that the solubility and/or dissolution rates of drugs can be increased in this manner, little information is available in the literature related to the in vivo absorption pattern of drugs orally administered as PVP coprecipitates. Recently, however, it was demonstrated that both the rate and extent of absorption of the insoluble drug could be markedly enhanced when orally administered to rats in the form of a coprecipitate with PVP. The purpose of the present investigation was to ascertain the general appility of soluble polymer coprectation technique as a method for enhancing the in vitro dissolution rate of hydrophobic indomethacin. To accomplish this aim, the dissolution characteristics of pure indomethacin, indomethcin-polymer physical mixtures and indomethacin-polymer coprecipitates were quantitatively studied by comparing their relative dissolution rates. The solubility and dissolution behavior of these systems were also examined.

본 연구는 고온화학공정에 사용할 전기화학적 센서 기술 개발의 사전 연구로서 고온 LiCl-KCl 공융염에 $UCl_3$나 $GdCl_3$를 녹여 $U^{3+}$와 $Gd^{3+}$의 전기화학 반응을 조사하였다. $U^{3+}$는 고온 LiCl-KCl 용융염내에서 -0.2V/-0.35 V에서 $U^{4+}$로의 산화/환원반응의, -1.51 V/-1.35 V에서 전착/해리 반응전류의 피크를 나타내었다. $Gd^{3+}$의 경우 -2.15 V에서 전착반응 피크를, -1.9 V에서 산화해리전류 피크를 나타내었다. $U^{3+}$와 $Gd^{3+}$의 혼합 고온 용융염에서는 $Gd^{3+}$의 전착 피크가 양의 전위로 이동하였다. 일정전류법의 결과는 시간이 지남에 따라 전위값이 일정해졌으며 그 전위값은 전해질 내 반응물의 환원전위값과 일치하였다. 노멀펄스전위법과 직각파전위법은 두 원소의 정성분석을 위한 좋은 전기화학적 방법론임을 보였으며 특히 노멀펄스전위곡선을 미분한 결과는 사용된 다른 방법에 비해 반응전류의 피크분리가 잘 일어났다.

The purpose of this study was to observe characteristic properties through the polarization curves and SEM images from 4 different types of amalgam obtained by using the potentiostats (Princeton EG & G) & SEM (Jeol/35), and to investigate the degree of corrosion on the oxidation peak of the each phase of amalgam. After each amalgam alloy and Hg was triturated as the direction of the manufacturer by means of the mechanical amalgamator (Shofu Co.), the triturated mass was inserted into the cylindrical metal mold which was 12mm in diameter and 10.0mm in height and was condensed by using routine manner. The specimen was removed from the mold and stored at room temperature for about 24 hours. The standard surface preparation was routinely carried out. Anodic polarization measurement was employed to confirm the corrosion behaviour of the amalgams in a 0.9% saline solution (P.H: 6.8-7.0) at $37^{\circ}C$. The initial rest potential (corrosion potential) was determined after 30 minutes of immersion of specimen in electrolyte, and the potential scan was begun at the point of 100mV cathodic from the corrosion potential. The scan rate was 0.17mV/sec. in the study to observe the degree of corrosion of each phase. SEI and EPMA images on the determined oxidation peaks of each amalgam were observed. The results were as follows: 1. In the four anodic polarization curves, low copper amalgams have three oxidation peaks and high copper amalgams have two oxidation peaks, -270mV, +26mV and +179mV(SEC) in the low copper lathe cut, and -300mV, +39mV and +163mV(SEC) in the low copper spherical. -4mV and +154mV(SEC) in the Dispersalloy, and +17mV and +180mV(SEC) in the Tytin as high copper amalgams. 2. ${\gamma}_2$ phase in the low copper amalgam and ${\eta}$ phase in the high copper amalgam were the most corrodible phases and Ag-Cu eutectic in high copper amalgam was the most slowly corroded phase. 3. Low copper amalgam was more susceptible in corrosion than high copper amalgam.
