Graphite material has been widely used for making the rocket nozzle throat because of its excellent thermal properties. However, when compared with typical structural materials, graphite is relatively weak with respect to both strength and toughness, owing to its quasi-brittle behavior, and gets oxidized at $450^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it is important to evaluate the thermal and mechanical properties of this material for using it in structural applications. This study presents an experimental method to investigate the fracture behavior of ATJ graphite at elevated temperatures. In particular, the effects of major parameters such as temperature, loading, and oxidation conditions on strength and fracture characteristics were investigated. Uniaxial compression and tension tests were conducted in accordance with the ASTM standard at room temperature, $500^{\circ}C$, and $1,000^{\circ}C$. Fractography analysis of the fractured specimens was carried out using an SEM.

An effort was attempted to utilize an under-utilized protein source, rice bran protein, in coating or wrapping food material for the purpose of protection them from oxidation and bacterial infection. However, the utilization of rice bran protein as a food coating material is limited because the rice bran protein coating material itself can be spoiled by a bacterial infection. Therefore, this study was conducted to produce the economical and antibacterial rice bran protein film by utilizing rice bran and bacteriocin-producing microorganism. Bacteriocin produced by Pseudomonas putida 21025 was partially purified after 33h of shaking incubation at 30$^{\circ}C$. The amount of amino-type nitrogen did not increase in the rice bran protein film containing the bacteriocin any more after gradual increase upto the content of 0.22％ for 8 days, while that without the bacteriocin increased continuously, implying that application of the bacteriocin to the rice bran had positive effects on prolonging the shelf-life of not only film itself but also the foods wrapped by this film.

Mg and its alloys have been of great interest because of their low density of 1.7, 30% lighter than Al, but their wide applications have been limited because of their poor resistances against corrosion and/or abrasion. Corrosion resistance of Mg alloys can be improved by formation of anodic films using anodic oxidation method in aqueous electrolytes. Plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) is one of anodic oxidation methods by which hard anodic films can be formed as a result of micro-arc generation under high electric field. PEO method utilize not only substrate elements but also chemical components in electrolytes to form anodic films on Mg alloys. PEO films formed on AM50 magnesium alloy in an acidic fluozirconate electrolyte were observed to consist of mainly $ZrO_2$ and $MgF_2$. Liu et al reported that PEO coating on AM30 Mg alloy consists of $MgF_2$-rich outer porous layer and an MgO-rich dense inner layer. PEO films prepared on ACM522 Mg die-casting alloy in an aqueous phosphate solution were also reported to be composed of monoclinic $Mg_3(PO_4)_2$. $CeO_2$-incorporated PEO coatings were also reported to be formed on AZ31 Mg alloys in $CeO_2$ particle-containing $Na_2SiO_3$-based electrolytes. Magnesium tin hydroxide ($MgSn(OH)_6$) was also produced on AZ91D alloy by PEO process in stannate-containing electrolyte. Effects of $OH^-$, $F^-$, $PO{_4}^{3-}$ and $SiO{_3}^{2-}$ ions and alloying elements of Al and Sn on the formation of PEO films on pure Mg and Mg alloys and their protective properties against corrosion have been investigated in this work. $PO{_4}^{3-}$, $F^-$ and $SiO{_3}^{2-}$ ions were observed to contribute to the formation of PEO films but $OH^-$ ions were found to break down the surface films under high electric field. The effect of pulse current on the formation of PEO films will be also reported.

Lotus root, dried laver, and perilla leaf bugak, Korean traditional fried cuisine, were prepared with fermented glutinous rice batter and unroasted sesame oil or wheat flour batter and soybean oil and their physicochemical characteristics was evaluated. Bugak with fermented glutinous rice batter and unroasted sesame oil showed higher hardness, possibly brittleness than bugak with wheat flour batter and soybean oil. Oil absorption was higher in bugak with fermented glutinous rice batter and unroasted sesame oil than bugak with wheat flour batter and soybean oil, however, the lipid oxidation, evaluated by conjugated dienoic acid and p-anisidine values, was significantly lower in bugak with fermented glutinous rice batter and unroasted sesame oil. Frying oil strongly influenced the degree of lipid oxidation and fatty acid composition of bugak lipid. Different preparation of bugak did not show great effects on the contents of chlorophylls and carotenoids of dried laver and perilla leaf bugak, possibly due to protection by rice or wheat flour batter coating.

Environmental barrier coatings (EBCs) are used to protect SiC-based ceramics or composites from oxidation and corrosion due to reaction with oxygen and water vapour at high temperatures above $1000^{\circ}C$. Mullite ceramics have been studied for environmental barrier coatings for Si-based ceramics. More recently, rare earth silicate ceramics have been identified as more water vapour-resistant materials than mullite for environmental barrier coatings. In this study, we fabricate mullite and yttrium silicate ceramics by an atmospheric plasma spray coating method using spherical granules fabricated by spray drying. As a result, EBCs with thicknesses in the range of $200-300{\mu}m$ are successfully fabricated without any macroscopic cracks or interfacial delamination. Phase and microstructure analysis are conducted, and the basic mechanical properties, such as hardness and indentation load-displacement curves are evaluated.

마그네슘 합금은 낮은 비중, 높은 비강도, 주조성 및 절삭가공성, 치수안정성, 내흠집성이 우수한 특성을 지니고 있는 경량금속으로써 우수한 주조성과 상온강도, 연신율을 나타낸다. 최근에는 마그네슘 합금을 사용한 IT 기기의 케이스 및 자동차 내, 외장 부품 등의 제품이 다양하게 출시되어지며 금속 질감의 감성 기능까지 적용시킨 전자 기기 제품에 대한 수요가 급증하고 있는 추세이다. 하지만 마그네슘 합금의 낮은 부식 저항성은 마그네슘 합금을 적용시킨 제품에 큰 단점으로 작용되고 있으며 이를 해결하기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행 중이다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마 전해산화법과 실리카 졸-겔 코팅법을 이용하여 마그네슘 합금의 내부식성을 향상시킴과 동시에 금속질감의 감성 기능을 구현하고자 하였다. 플라즈마 전해산화 공정으로 형성된 산화피막층과 $SiO_2$ 코팅으로 형성된 코팅층의 표면과 단면에 대해서는 FE-SEM(Field emission Scanning Electron Microscope)과 FE-TEM(Field emission Transmission Electron Microscope)으로써 확인하였고 전기화학적 특성 분석을 통한 동전위(Potentiodynamic polarization)와 EIS(Eletrochemical Impedance Spectroscopy) 그리고 Salt spray등을 분석하였다.

Coating pipe(PLP) has been generally used in buried site for protecting the corrosion. To prevent the damage by occurring the defect, other construction or execution works, an anti-oxidation environment was forcibly made by using protective potential. Coating and protective potential are applied simultaneously, but corrosion rate or defects are not easy to observe because soil composition has many uncertainty. Also, defect of coating pipe can not be directly observed. A corrosion coupon can easily measure a corrosion rate directly. The corrosion rate was measured with 6 scenarios using corrosion coupon during about 1 year(6 scenarios are based on soil type and protective potential or not in this research. Resultingly, the corrosion coupon has not occurred in the case of protected by potential current, but corrosion has occurred in a non-protected site. The corrosion rate was measured at least in the clay, and the propensity of corrosion rate was similar in other soil(sand and loams). The local corrosion has occurred in the clay because of high water content. On the other hand, general corrosion was occurred in sand and loams. Commonly, sand is not to corrosive soil. Although, corrosion occurred in sand can be estimated by chemical component and valid with chemical analysis report.
