본 연구에서는 노후 콘크리트 포장의 효율적 유지보수를 위하여 국내 최초 적용된 Thin Bonded Continuously Reinforced Concrete Overlay (CRCO) 공법의 초기 공용성이 평가되었다. 서해안 고속도로의 표층 파손 구간에 Jointed Plain Concrete Pavement (JPCP) 덧씌우기와 CR8O 공법을 이용한 보수가 진행되었다. JPCP 덧씌우기 공법이 적용된 구간에서는 인접 슬래브가 완전히 분리되도록 덧씌워진 층의 줄눈을 완전히 커팅하였으며, CRCO 공법이 적용된 구간에서는 0.5% 종방향 철근과 위치 고정용 횡방향 철근을 설치한 후 그 위에 덧씌우기를 수행하였다. 두 구간 모두에서 3종시멘트가 이용되었다. 현장 강도 시험 결과, 1$\sim$3일 내에 교통개방이 가능한강도가 발현된 것이 확인되었으며, vibrating wire gauge (VWG) 데이터 분석 결과 CRCO 공법이 기존 포장의 줄눈 거동을 억제하는 것으로 나타났다. 부착강도 시험결과, 재령에 상관없이 높은 부착강도가 확인되었다. 한편 JPCP 덧씌우기 공법이 적용된 구간에서는 중앙부에서, CRCO 공법이 적용된 구간에서는 CRCO 포장과 같은 무작위 횡방향 균열이 관찰되었으며, CRCO 공법의 균열폭 거동이 JCP 보다 50% 정도 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

Nanostructured high strength metastable Al-, Mg- and Ti-based alloys containing different amorphous, quasicrystalline and nanocrystalline phases are synthesized by non-equilibrium processing techniques. Such alloys can be prepared by quenching from the melt or by powder metallurgy techniques. This paper focuses on one hand on mechanically alloyed and ball milled powders containing different volume fractions of amorphous or nano-(quasi)crystalline phases, consolidated bulk specimens and, on the other hand. on cast specimens containing different constituent phases with different length-scale. As one example. $Mg_{55}Y_{15}Cu_{30}$- based metallic glass matrix composites are produced by mechanical alloying of elemental powder mixtures containing up to 30 vol.% $Y_2O_3$ particles. The comparison with the particle-free metallic glass reveals that the nanosized second phase oxide particles do not significantly affect the glass-forming ability upon mechanical alloying despite some limited particle dissolution. A supercooled liquid region with an extension of about 50 K can be maintained in the presence of the oxides. The distinct viscosity decrease in the supercooled liquid regime allows to consolidate the powders into bulk samples by uniaxial hot pressing. The $Y_2O_3$ additions increase the mechanical strength of the composites compared to the $Mg_{55}Y_{15}Cu_{30}$ metallic glass. The second example deals with Al-Mn-Ce and Al-Cu-Fe composites with quasicrystalline particles as reinforcements, which are prepared by quenching from the melt and by powder metallurgy. $Al_{98-x}Mn_xCe_2$ (x =5,6,7) melt-spun ribbons containing a major quasicrystalline phase coexisting with an Al-matrix on a nanometer scale are pulverized by ball milling. The powders are consolidated by hot extrusion. Grain growth during consolidation causes the formation of a micrometer-scale microstructure. Mechanical alloying of $Al_{63}Cu_{25}Fe_{12}$ leads to single-phase quasicrystalline powders. which are blended with different volume fractions of pure Al-powder and hot extruded forming $Al_{100-x}$$(Al_{0.63}Cu_{0.25}Fe_{0.12})_x$ (x = 40,50,60,80) micrometer-scale composites. Compression test data reveal a high yield strength of ${\sigma}_y{\geq}$700 MPa and a ductility of ${\varepsilon}_{pl}{\geq}$5% for than the Al-Mn-Ce bulk samples. The strength level of the Al-Cu-Fe alloys is ${\sigma}_y{\leq}$550 MPa significantly lower. By the addition of different amounts of aluminum, the mechanical properties can be tuned to a wide range. Finally, a bulk metallic glass-forming Ti-Cu-Ni-Sn alloy with in situ formed composite microstructure prepared by both centrifugal and injection casting presents more than 6% plastic strain under compressive stress at room temperature. The in situ formed composite contains dendritic hcp Ti solid solution precipitates and a few $Ti_3Sn,\;{\beta}$-(Cu, Sn) grains dispersed in a glassy matrix. The composite micro- structure can avoid the development of the highly localized shear bands typical for the room temperature defor-mation of monolithic glasses. Instead, widely developed shear bands with evident protuberance are observed. resulting in significant yielding and homogeneous plastic deformation over the entire sample.

The effects of lowering ECAP temperature during ECAP process and Post-ECAP annealing on microstructure, texture and mechanical properties of the AZ31 alloys have been investigated in the present study. The as-extruded materials were ECAP processed to 2 passes at 553K prior to subsequent pressing up to 6 passes at 523K or 493K. When this method of lowering ECAP temperature during ECAP was used, the rods could be successfully deformed up to 6 passes without any surface cracking. Grain refinement during ECAP process at 553K might have helped the material to endure further straining at lower deformation temperatures probably by increasing the strain accommodation effect by grain boundary sliding, causing stress relaxation. Texture modification during ECAP has a great influence on the strength of Mg alloys because HCP metals have limited number of slip systems. As slip is most prone to take place on basal planes in Mg at room temperature, the rotation of high fraction of basal planes to the directions favorable for slip as in ECAP decreases the yield stress appreciably. The strength of AZ31 Mg alloys increases with decrease of grain size if the texture is constant though ECAP deformation history is different. A standard positive strength dependence on the grain size for Mg alloys with the similar texture (Fig. 1) supports that the softening of ECAPed Mg alloys (a negative slope) typically observed despite the significant grain refinement is due to the texture modification where the rotation of basal planes occurs towards the orientation for easier slip. It could be predicted that if the original fiber texture is restored after ECAP treatment yielding marked grain refinement, yield stress as high as 500 MPa will be obtained at the grain size of ${\sim}1{\mu}m$. Differential speed rolling (DSR) with a high speed ratio between the upper and lower rolls was applied to alter the microstructure and texture of the AZ31 sheets. Significant grain refinement took place during the rolling owing to introduction of large shear deformation. Grain size as small as $1.4{\mu}m$ could be obtained at 423K after DSR. There was a good correlation between the (0002) pole intensity and tensile elongation. This result indicates that tensile ductility improvement in the asymmetrically rolled AZ31 Mg alloys is closely related to the weakening of basal texture during DSR. Further basal texture weakening occurred during annealing after DSR. According to Hall-Petch relation shown in Fig. 1, the strength of the asymmetrically rolled AZ31 is lower than that of the symmetrically rolled one when compared at the same grain size. This result was attributed to weakening of fiber texture during DSR. The DSRed AZ31, however, shows higher strength than the ECAPed AZ31 where texture has been completely replaced by a new texture associated with high Schmid factors.

TiO2 thin films with the substitution of oxygen with nitrogen were deposited on silicon substrate by metalorganic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) using Ti(OCH(CH3)2)4 (titanium tetraisopropoxide, TTIP) and N2O as source materials. X-ray diffraction (XRD) results indicated that the crystal structure of the deposited thin films was anatase TiO2 with only (101) plane observed at the deposition temperatures of 36$0^{\circ}C$ and 38$0^{\circ}C$, and with (101) and (200) plane at above 40$0^{\circ}C$. Raman spectroscopic results indicated that the crystal structure was anatase TiO2 in accordance with the XRD results without any rutile, fcc TiN, or hcp TiN structure. No fundamental difference was observed with temperature increase, but the peak intensity at 194.5 cm-1 increased with strong intensity at 143.0 cm-1 for all samples. The crystalline size of the films varied from 49.2 nm to 63.9 nm with increasing temperature as determined by slow-scan XRD experiments. The refractive index of the films increased from 2.40 to 2.55 as temperature increased. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) study showed only Ti 2s, Ti 2p, C 1s, O 1s and O 2s peaks at the surface of the film. The composition of the surface was estimated to be TiO1.98 from the quatitative analysis. In the bulk of the film Ti 2s, Ti 2p, O 1s, O 2s, N 1s and N 2s were detected, and Ti-N bonding was observed due to the substitution of oxygen with nitrogen. A satellite structure was observed in the Ti 2p due to the Ti-N bonding, and the composition of titanium nitride was determined to be about TiN1.0 from the position of the binding energy of Ti-N 2p3/2 and the quatitative analysis. The spectrum of Ti 2p energy level could be the sum of a 4, 5, or 6 Gaussian curve reconstruction, and the case of the sum of the 6 Gaussian curve reconstruction was physically most meaningful. From the results of Auger electron spectroscopy (AES), it was known that the composition was not varied significantly throughout the whole thickness of the film, and silicon oxide was not observed at the interface between the film and the substrate. The composition of the film was possible (TiO2)1-x.(TiN)x or TiO2-2xNx and in this experimental condition x was found to be about 0.21-0.16.

Cancer is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality worldwide, characterized by irregular cell growth. Cytotoxicity or killing tumor cells that divide rapidly is the basic function of chemotherapeutic drugs. However, these agents can damage normal dividing cells, leading to adverse effects in the body. In view of great advances in cancer therapy, which are increasingly reported each year, we quantitatively and qualitatively evaluated the papers published between 1981 and December 2015, with a closer look at the highly cited papers (HCPs), for a better understanding of literature related to cytotoxicity in cancer therapy. Online documents in the Web of Science (WOS) database were analyzed based on the publication year, the number of times they were cited, research area, source, language, document type, countries, organization-enhanced and funding agencies. A total of 3,473 publications relevant to the target key words were found in the WOS database over 35 years and 86% of them (n=2,993) were published between 2000-2015. These papers had been cited 54,330 times without self-citation from 1981 to 2015. Of the 3,473 publications, 17 (3,557citations) were the most frequently cited ones between 2005 and 2015. The topmost HCP was about generating a comprehensive preclinical database (CCLE) with 825 (23.2%) citations. One third of the remaining HCPs had focused on drug discovery through improving conventional therapeutic agents such as metformin and ginseng. Another 33% of the HCPs concerned engineered nanoparticles (NPs) such as polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendritic polymers, PTX/SPIO-loaded PLGAs and cell-derived NPs to increase drug effectiveness and decrease drug toxicity in cancer therapy. The remaining HCPs reported novel factors such as miR-205, Nrf2 and p27 suggesting their interference with development of cancer in targeted cancer therapy. In conclusion, analysis of 35-year publications and HCPs on cytotoxicity in cancer in the present report provides opportunities for a better understanding the extent of topics published and may help future research in this area.

One of the greatest challenges for our society is providing powerful electrochemical energy conversion and storage devices. Rechargeable lithium-ion batteries and fuel cells are among the most promising candidates in terms of energy and power density. As the starting material, $TiCl_4{\cdot}YCl_3$ solution and dispersing agent (HCP) were mixed and synthesized using ammonia as the precipitation agent, in order to prepare the nano size Y doped spherical $TiO_2$ precursor. Then, the $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ was synthesized using solid state reaction method through the stoichiometric mixture of Y doped spherical $TiO_2$ precursor and LiOH. The Ti mole increased the concentration of the spherical particle size due to the addition of HPC with a similar particle size distribution in a well in which $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ spherical particles could be obtained. The optimal synthesis conditions and the molar ratio of the Ti 0.05 mol reaction at $50^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes and at $850^{\circ}C$ for 6 hours heat treatment time were optimized. $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ was prepared by the above conditions as a working electrode after generating the Coin cell; then, electrochemical properties were evaluated when the voltage range of 1.5V was flat, the initial capacity was 141 mAh/g, and cycle retention rate was 86%; also, redox reactions between 1.5 and 1.7V, which arose from the insertion and deintercalation of 0.005 mole of Y doping is not a case of doping because the C-rate characteristics were significantly better.

티타늄에 있어서 주요 침입형 원소인 산소는 결함을 일으키는 원인으로 산소함량을 줄이는 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 최근 가장 많이 이용되는 탈산 방법은 칼슘 및 칼슘염화물의 높은 산소 친화력을 이용하는 것이다. 칼슘염화물 플럭스를 사용하여 칼슘을 용해하고, 티타늄과 반응한 탈산생성물인 칼슘산화물을 플럭스 내에 용해시키는 방법이다. 이러한 방법으로 티타늄 와이어 및 시트 내 산소를 저감한 연구가 보고되었다. 티타늄 탈산의 제일 큰 구동력은 티타늄 내 산소원자의 확산이다. 티타늄의 탈산온도가 1,155K 이상으로 증가하면 hcp에서 bcc 구조로 변태되는데 이러한 구조에서 산소의 확산은 더 활발해진다. 실제로 티타늄의 변태온도 이전에서는 확산속도가 낮아서 큰 변화가 없지만, 1,273K 고온의 bcc 구조에서는 확산속도가 빨라서 그 이전에 비해 100배 이상 빠르게 원자 이동이 일어나는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 이러한 탈산 방법은 티타늄 원재료가 벌크 형태에서 주로 연구되었으며 티타늄 분말에 대한 탈산 연구는 보고된 바가 많지 않다. 이는 높은 탈산온도에서 칼슘의 용해로 인한 분말의 건전한 회수가 어렵기 때문이다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 본 연구진은 칼슘 증기를 이용한 비접촉식 탈산 용기를 제작하여 티타늄 분말을 변태온도 이상에서 탈산하여 1,000ppm 이하 저산소 티타늄 분말을 회수하였다. 칼슘을 이용한 티타늄 내 산소의 제거 메커니즘을 깁스자유에너지와 각각의 분압에 의해 설명하고 있다. 가장 일반적인 설명은 티타늄 내 산소가 탈산온도에 따라 확산하게 되며 이러한 산소는 티타늄의 표면에서 티타늄 산화층을 형성한다. 이때 탈산제인 칼슘의 높은 산소 친화력으로 티타늄 산화층은 분해되어 칼슘산화물을 형성한다. 이러한 과정으로 티타늄 내 산소가 제거되는 것으로 알려져 있다. 하지만 많은 탈산 연구에도 불구하고 대부분의 연구 보고에서는 탈산 전후의 산소 농도 변화만 측정하였으며, 실제적으로 티타늄 탈산 전후의 표면산화층의 변화, 티타늄 내부의 산소농도 변화 및 격자 변형에 대한 연구는 보고된 바 없다. 따라서 본 연구는 1,000 ppm 이하 저산소 티타늄 분말 제조에 있어서 탈산 전후 표면 산화층 및 내부 산소 농도 등을 분석하여 탈산 거동에 대해 관찰하였다. 본 연구에서 비접촉식 탈산용기를 이용하여 칼슘 증기에 의한 탈산에 의하여 1,000 ppm 이하 저산소 티타늄 분말 제조하였고, 탈산된 분말을 티타늄 원재료와 비교하여 표면 산화층, 격자 변형, 내부 산소 농도 등을 분석하여 탈산에 따른 산소 거동을 살펴보았다. 탈산된 티타늄 분말의 표면 산화층은 원재료 대비 73% 제거되어 약 3nm로 줄었음을 확인하였고, 또한 표면 산화층 감소뿐만 아니라 티타늄 분말 내부에서도 원재료보다 산소 농도가 감소하였음을 확인하였다.

질산불용성합금의 특성을 갖는 Mo-Ru-Rh-Pd 합금을 만들어 XRD, WDX, EDX, ICP 분석을 하였다. XRD 분석결과 이 합금은 육방밀집(hcp) 구조와 $P6_3/mmc$의 공간군을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. EPMA 분석시 최적 가속전압은 15 kV였으며 Tc을 제외한 Zr~Cd 표준시편의 원자번호와 X-선 세기간의 직선성을 나타내는 R값은 0.998 범위였다. 내삽법에 의한 WDX 분석과 표준시편을 사용한 WDX 분석에서 구한 X-선 계수비를 비교한 결과 Mo, Pd은 표준시편을 사용한 WDX분석에 비해 0.1% 낮게 검출되었고 Ru, Rh은 약 3% 높게 검출되었다. 이 합금은 염산 12.5대 질산 1의 혼합산으로 $220^{\circ}C$, 22시간 용해시켰을 때 완전히 녹았으며 1N-HCl로 100배 희석시 재침전이 없었다. ICP 분석결과는 표준시편을 사용한 WDX분석에 대해 4% 이하의 편차를 보였다.

Ni계 경면합금인 Deloro 50의 마모거동을 15ksi와 30ksi 접촉응력하의 여러 마모조건에서 조사하였다. 상온대기중에서 Deloro 50는 15ksi 응력에서도 극심한 응착마모가 발생하는 매우 낮은 마모저항성을 보였는데 이는 fcc 결정구조를 갖는 Deloro 50 기지상의 경도와 가공경화율이 strain-induced 상변태를 이웅한 hcp 결정구조의 Stellite 6보다 낮기 때문으로 생각된다. 상온 수중에서 Deloro 50는 15ksi 응력에서 Stellite 6와 비슷한 마모저항성을 보였는데 이는 물이 미세요철간의 금속간 접촉을 억제하였기 때문으로 생각된다. 그러나, 30ksi의 높은 접촉응력에서는 상온 대기중길 같은 응착마모가 발생하는 것으로 보아, 30ksi의 높은 응력에서는 물의 응착마모 억제 효과가 없었기 때문으로 생각된다. $300^{\circ}C$ 대기중에서 Deloro 50는 30ksi의 높은 접촉응력에서도 Stellite 6보다 우수한 마모저항성을 보였는데 이는 고온에서 마모시 생성되는 복합산화물층이 효과적으로 금속간 접촉을 방해하여 응착마모를 억제하였기 때문으로 생각된다.
