Statement of problem. Titanium-Nickel alloy might be used in various prosthetic restorations since it has a unique property such as super-elasticity and high fatigue resistance. However, little is known about the casting ability of this alloy. Purpose. This in vitro study compared the casting accuracy and the porosity made with different investments and various sprue designs to ascertain what casting condition would be better for the fabrication of Ti-Ni cast restorations. Material and methods. A total of 70 Ti-Ni alloy crowns were made and divided into 7 groups of 10 copings on a metal master die. For measuring the effect of the sprue numbers, two groups with one and two 8-gauge sprues were compared. Moreover, the results of the conventional sprue and the double thickness sprues were compared. Three investments were used; carbon free phosphate bonded investment, titanium investment and gypsum bonded investment. The cast restorations were evaluated at 48 points on the entire circumferential margin with a stereomicroscope measuring in micrometers. Each crown was radiographically examined for casting defects and porosity. Data on casting accuracy were analyzed using two-way and Post hoc Scheffe's comparison to determine whether significant differences existed at the 95% confidence level. Student-Newman-Keuls test were performed to identify significant differences in the number of voids. Results. The double sprueing group and double thickness group had significantly less marginal discrepancy than the single sprueing group (P<.05 and P<.01, respectively). The castings with phosphate bonded investment showed the least marginal discrepancy and the smoothest surface. The castings invested in the gypsum bonded investment had the greatest gaps in margin and the largest failure rate. The double sprueing group and phosphate bonded investment group had significantly smaller void numbers and smaller void size than the other groups. Conclusion. Within the limitations of this in vitro study, the casting accuracy of the groups using thicker, double sprue design and the phosphate bonded investment was significantly superior. Moreover, void number and size were less than other groups.

PURPOSE. The aim of this study is to evaluate the appropriate impression technique by analyzing the superimposition of 3D digital model for evaluating accuracy of conventional impression technique and digital impression. MATERIALS AND METHODS. Twenty-four patients who had no periodontitis or temporomandibular joint disease were selected for analysis. As a reference model, digital impressions with a digital impression system were performed. As a test models, for conventional impression dual-arch and full-arch, impression techniques utilizing addition type polyvinylsiloxane for fabrication of cast were applied. 3D laser scanner is used for scanning the cast. Each 3 pairs for 25 STL datasets were imported into the inspection software. The three-dimensional differences were illustrated in a color-coded map. For three-dimensional quantitative analysis, 4 specified contact locations(buccal and lingual cusps of second premolar and molar) were established. For two-dimensional quantitative analysis, the sectioning from buccal cusp to lingual cusp of second premolar and molar were acquired depending on the tooth axis. RESULTS. In color-coded map, the biggest difference between intraoral scanning and dual-arch impression was seen (P<.05). In three-dimensional analysis, the biggest difference was seen between intraoral scanning and dual-arch impression and the smallest difference was seen between dual-arch and full-arch impression. CONCLUSION. The two- and three-dimensional deviations between intraoral scanner and dual-arch impression was bigger than full-arch and dual-arch impression (P<.05). The second premolar showed significantly bigger three-dimensional deviations than the second molar in the three-dimensional deviations (P>.05).

Although yttrium iron garnet (YIG) has provided a great vehicle for the study of spin waves in the past, associated difficulties in film deposition and device fabrication using YIG had limited the applicability of spin waves to practical devices. However, microfabrication techniques have made it possible to characterize both the resonant as well as the travelling characteristics of spin waves in permalloy (Py). A variety of methods have been used for measuring spin waves, including Brillouin light scattering (BLS), magneto-optic Kerr effect (MOKE), vector network analyzer ferromagnetic resonance (VNA-FMR), and pulse inductive microwave magnetometry (PIMM). PIMM is one of the most preferred methodologies of measuring travelling spin waves. In this method, an electrical impulse is applied at one of two coplanar waveguides patterned on top of oxide-insulated Py, producing a local disturbance in the magnetization of the Py. The resulting disturbance travels down the Py in the form of waves, and is inductively picked up by the other coplanar waveguide. We investigate the effect of the pulse width of excitation pulses on the generated spin wave packets using both experimental results and micromagnetic simulations. We show that spin wave packets generated from electrical pulses are a superposition of two separate spin wave packets, one generated from the rising edge and the other from the falling edge, which interfere either constructively or destructively with one another, depending upon the magnitude and direction of the field bias conditions. A method of spin wave amplitude modulation is also presented by the linear superposition of spin waves. We use interfering spin waves resulting from two closely spaced voltage impulses for the modulation of the magnitude of the resultant spin wave packets.

Melt foaming method is one of cost-effective methods to make metal foam and it has been successfully applied to fabricate Mg foams. In this research, AZ31 Mg alloy ingot was used as a metal matrix, using AlCa granular as thickening agent and $CaCO_3$ powder as foaming agent, AZ31 Mg alloy foams were fabricated by melt-foaming method at different foaming temperatures. The porosity was above 41.2%~73.3%, pore size was between 0.38~1.52 mm, and homogenous pore structures were obtained. Microstructure and mechanical properties of the AZ31 Mg alloy foams were investigated by optical microscopy, SEM and UTM. The results showed that pore structure and pore distribution were much better than those fabricated at lower temperatures. The compression behavior of the AZ31 Mg alloy foam behaved as typical porous materials. As the foaming temperature increased from $660^{\circ}C$ to $750^{\circ}C$, the compressed strength also increased. The AZ31 Mg alloy foam with a foaming temperature of $720^{\circ}C$ had the best energy absorption. The energy absorption value of Mg foam was 15.52 $MJ/m^3$ at a densification strain of 52%. Furthermore, the high energy absorption efficiencies of the AZ31 Mg alloy foam kept at about 0.85 in the plastic plateau region, which indicates that composite foam possess a high energy absorption characteristic, and the Vickers hardness of AZ31 Mg alloy foam decreased as the foaming temperature increased.

Normal sintering process of producing porous ceramics is not to sinter perfectly, i.e., stop sintering in middle-process. Our porous ceramic materials are a product of complete sintering. For example if one want to make a porous carborundum, raw carborundum powder is sintered at either lower temperatures than normal sintering temperature or shorter sintering periods than normal sintering time to obtain incompletely sintered materials, i.e., porous carborundum. This implies normally sintered porous ceramic materials can mot be used in high vacuum conditions due to dust coming out from uncompleted sintering. We could produce completely sintered porous ceramic materials. For example, we can produce porous carborundum material by using carborundum particles bonded by glassy material. The properties of this material are similar to carborundum. We could make quasi-zero thermal expansion porous material by using carborundum and particles of negative thermal expansion materials bonded by the glassy material. We apply to sinter them also by microwave to sinter quickly. We also use HIP process to introduce closed pores. We could sinter them in large size to produce $2.5m{\times}2.5m$ ceramic plate to use as a precision plate for flat display industries. This flat ceramic plate is the world largest artificial ceramic plate. Precision plates are basic importance to any advanced electronic industries. The produced precision plate has lower density, lower thermal expansivity, higher or similar damping properties added extra properties such as vacuum vise, air sliding capacity. These plates are highly recommended to use in flat display industries. We could produce also cylindrical porous ceramics materials, which can applied to precision roller for polymer film precision motion for also electronic industries.

본 연구에서는 나노임프린트 리소그래피를 이용하여 500 nm line, 600 nm pore, $1{\mu}m$ pore, $2.5{\mu}m$ pore의 마이크로 수준에서 나노 수준에 이르는 다양한 크기와 모양의 nanopore 형태 패턴을 제작하였다. Thermal imprint 방식과 달리 상온, 저압에서 임프린팅이 가능하며 사용되는 스탬프의 수명을 늘리고 보다 미세하고 복잡한 형태의 패턴을 제작할 수 있는 UV-assisted imprint 방식을 사용하였다. E-beam lithography로 패턴을 각인한 quartz소재의 스탬프를 사용하였으며 스탬프의 재질이 투명하여 UV 조사시 UV curable resin이 경화될 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 스탬프의 표면을 (heptadecafluoro-1,1,2,2-tetrahydrodecyl) trichlorosilane의 monolayer 층으로 미리 코팅하여 임프린트 후 스탬프와 기판과의 releasing을 쉽게함과 동시에 패턴의 일부가 스탬프에 묻어 나와 전사된 패턴에 defect가 없도록 하였다. 또한, gold를 미리 증착하여 임프린팅함으로써 lift-off 시에 필요한 hi-layer 층이 필요 없게 되어 산소 플라즈마를 이용한 에칭이 더욱 쉽고 lift-off 공정이 생략될 수 있도록 하였다. 나노임프린트 공정에 있어 가장 큰 문제점은 잔여층의 생성이며 이러한 잔여층을 제거하고자 산소 플라즈마 에칭을 하였다. 에칭공정을 통해 gold의 표면이 완전히 드러났으며 산소 플라즈마를 통해 gold의 표면이 친수성으로 바뀌어 추후 단백질 고정화를 더욱 쉽게 하였다. 그리하여 나노임프린트 기술을 이용해 나노크기의 바이오소자 제작을 가능하게 하였다.

본 논문은 PDMS을 기반으로 한 미세접촉인쇄법을 사용하여 보다 효율적으로 지방세포를 선택적으로 배양접시에 부착시켰으며 패터닝 된 배양접시에서 지방세포가 빠르게 지방분화를 가능하게 하였다. PDMS을 이용한 선택적 표면 처리 방법은 기존의 세포칩 제작과 달리 소량의 유기용매사용, 저가의 장비 사용, 또한 효율적으로 특정 지역 안에서 지방세포를 고정화하고 성장시킬 수 있으며 이를 통해 지방세포의 생리학적 상태를 손쉽게 관찰할 수 있는 분석 기술로 활용된다. 이렇게 구성된 지방세포칩 위에 대표적인 비만 억제제 약물인 Orlistat을 $0.2{\mu}M{\sim}5.0{\mu}M$ 농도로 처리하였을 때 대조군에 비하여 최대 26.5%의 억제 효과가 나타남을 확인하였다. 따라서, 본 논문에서 제안하는 방법을 통하여 다양한 비만 억제제 약물 탐색을 위한 세포칩으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Conventional methods for preparing ceramic bodies, such as cold isostatic pressing, gypsum-mold slip casting, and filter pressing are not completely suitable for fabricating large and thick ceramic plates owing to disadvantages of these processes, such as the high cost of the equipment, the formation of density gradients, and differential shrinkage during drying. These problems can be avoided by employing a pressure-vacuum hybrid slip casting approach that considers not only by the compression of the aqueous slip in the casting room (pressure slip casting) but also the vacuum sucking of the dispersion medium (water) around the mold (vacuum slip casting). We prepared the alumina formed bodies by means of pressure-vacuum hybrid slip casting with stepwise pressure loading up to 0.5 MPa using a slip consisting of 40 vol% solid, 0.6 wt% APC, 1 wt% PEG, and 1 wt% PVA. After drying the green body at $30^{\circ}C$ and 80% RH, the green density of the alumina bodies was about 56% RD. The sintered density of an alumina plate created by means of sintering at $1650^{\circ}C$ for 4 h exceeded 99.8%.This method enabled us to fabricate a $110{\times}110{\times}20$ mm alumina plate without cracks and with a homogeneous density, thus demonstrating the possibility of extending the method to the fabrication of other ceramic products.

A titanium based screw shaped dental implant was first introduced by Branemark and a treatment protocol where the restoration of edentulous area by connecting abutment after the osseointegration of the titanium surface of the implant and surrounding bone structure has been proposed. Although this protocol is widely accepted as a standard up to date, the healing duration of 3-6 months as well as the need for provisional prostheses during this period present as a major drawback. Immediate loading has been accomplished through the advent of various implant designs, enforced surface treatments, diverse forms of abutment, and delicate surgical techniques together with the increase in demand from the patients. The success rate of the immediate loading technique has been first reported as 85.7% by Dr. Schnitman in 1990 which recently has been reported up to 100% in the case of immediate loading in single tooth by Dr. Kan. To ameliorate the success rate of immediate loading technique, selection of patients presenting a sound bone quality and quantity, acquiring primary stability through delicate surgical techniques and fabrication of prostheses which accounts for biological stabilities should all be taken into consideration. This presentation introduces the understanding of biological stability of immediate loading, various methods for measurement of stability and clinical cases regarding immediate loading technique.
