We carried out anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) on a Si and a sapphire substrate. For anodic oxidation of Al two types of specimens prepared were Al(0.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$)!Si and Al(0.5 $\mu\textrm{m}$)/Ti(0.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$)$SiO_2$(0.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$)/GaN(2 $\mu\textrm{m}$)/Sapphire. Surface morphology of Al film was analyzed depending on the deposition methods such as sputtering, thermal evaporation, and electron beam evaporation. Without conventional electron lithography, we obtained ordered nano-pattern of porous alumina by in- situ process. Electropolishing of Al layer was carried out to improve the surface morphology and evaluated. Two step anodizing was adopted for ordered regular array of AAO formation. The applied electric voltage was 40 V and oxalic acid was used as an electrolyte. The reference electrode was graphite. Through the optimization of process parameters such as electrolyte concentration, temperature, and process time, a regular array of AAO was formed on Si and sapphire substrate. In case of Si substrate the diameter of pore and distance between pores was 50 and 100 nm, respectively. In case of sapphire substrate, the diameter of pore and distance between pores was 40 and 80 nm, respectively

The surface was transformed to porous titanium oxide by the anodization of pure titanium. Titanium was anodized in non-aqueous and aqueous electrolytes at different potentials between 5 V and 150 V. Various electrolytes were compose of ethylene glycerol, $H_2SO_4,\;NH_4F\;and\;H_2O$. We obtained titania nanotube arrays on the micro pore of titanium. Micro pores and nano tubes were obtained by anodization at high potentials and low potentials, respectively. Morphologies of nanotubes and micro pore were characterized by FE-SEM. The unique surface structure is very attractive to electrical and medical applications such as gas sensor, biosensor, dental implant and stent.

As an electrochemical water electrolysis for green hydrogen production, both polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) and alkaline electrolyte are being developed extensively in various countries. The PEM electrolyzer with high current density (above 2 A/cm²) has the advantage of being able to design a simple structure. Also, it is known that it has high response to electrical output fluctuations. However, the cost problem of major components is the most important issue that a PEM electrolyzer must overcome. Instantly, there are platinum group metal (PGM)-based electrocatalysts, fluorine-based polyfluoro sulfuric acid (PFSA) membrane, Ti felt (porous transport layer, PTL) and so on. Another challenging issue is productivity. A securing outstanding productivity brings price benefits of the electrolytic cells. From this point of view, we conducted basic studies on manufacturing electrode and membrane electrode assembly (MEA) for PEM electrolyzer production.

Soils are porous materials with high shielding capability to attenuate gamma and X-rays. The disposal of radionuclides throughout the soil profile can expose the living organisms to ionizing radiation. Thus, studies aiming to analyze the shielding properties of the soils are of particular interest for radiation shielding. Investigations on evaluating the shielding capabilities of highly weathered soils are still scarce, meaning that additional research is necessary to check their efficiency to attenuate radiation. In this study, the radiation shielding properties of contrasting soils were evaluated. The radiation interaction parameters assessed were attenuation coefficients, mean free path, and half- and tenth-value layers. At low photon energies, the photoelectric absorption contribution to the attenuation coefficient predominated, while at intermediate and high photon energies, the incoherent scattering and pair production were the dominant effects. Soils with the highest densities presented the best shielding properties, regardless of their chemical compositions. Increases in the attenuation coefficient and decreases in shielding parameters of the soils were associated with increases in clay, Fe₂O₃, Al₂O₃, and TiO₂ amounts. In addition, this paper provides a comprehensive description of the shielding properties of weathered soils showing the importance of their granulometric fractions and oxides to the attenuation of the radiation.

Through the industrial revolution that began in the 18th century, the amount of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere increased rapidly as humans used fossil energy such as coal and oil as fuel for steam engines and factory machines. The amount of carbon dioxide emitted while producing cement, the main material of concrete used in construction, is large enough to account for 5-8% of the world's carbon dioxide emissions. In this study, Non cement-based matrix were used to reduce carbon dioxide emissions from cement production. Red mud is an industrial by-product generated in the manufacturing process of aluminum hydroxide using bauxite, and more than 120 million tons are produced worldwide. In addition, red mud is a porous material that can be physically adsorbed, and causes a photocatalytic reaction of TiO₂ to remove harmful substances such as nitrogen oxide formaldehyde in the air and chemically adsorbs ammonia and hydrogen sulfide. Therefore, this study aims to examine the physical properties of the matrix by mixing red mud, an industrial by-product with good adsorption performance, into the Non cement-based matrix.

본 논문에서는 졸-침투와 직접-패턴 공정을 이용하여 향상된 압전 후막의 전기적 특성과 우수한 패터닝 특성을 동시에 만족할 수 있는 제작 방법을 제시한다. 저온(< $850^{\circ}C$) 공정 후 후막의 고밀도 및 직접-패턴의 목적을 달성하기 위해서, 감광성 티탄산 지르콘산 연 ($Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$, PZT) 졸을 스크린인쇄된 PZT 후막 내부로 침투시켰다. 직접-패턴된 PZT막은 포토크롬마스크와 UV 조사에 의해서 일정한 간격으로 인쇄된 후막 위에 성공적으로 형성되었다. 스크린인쇄된 후막은 분말형태의 기공성 구조를 갖고 있어 조사된 UV빛이 산란되기 때문에, 감광성 졸-침투 공정을 할 때 PZT 후막의 특성을 증가시키기 위한 공정의 최적화가 필요하다. 침투된 감광성 PZT 졸의 농도, 조사된 UV 시간 및 용매 현상 시간을 최적화한 결과, 0.35 M의 PZT 농도, 4 분의 UV 조사시간과 15 초의 용매 현상시간으로 졸-침투된 PZT 후막은 $800^{\circ}C$ 소결 온도에서 입자들의 성장에 의해 치밀화 정도가 증가되었다. 또한 PZT후막의 강유전 특성(잔류분극 및 항복 전압)도 향상되었다. 특히 잔류분극값은 스크린인쇄된 후막보다 약 4배정도 증가되었다. 이렇게 제작된 후막은 어레이타입의 압전형 마이크로미터크기의 센서 및 액츄에이터 등에 응용 가능성을 제시할 수 있었다.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the corrosion behaviors of dental implant alloy after microsized surface modification in electrolytes containing Mn ion. Materials and Methods: $Mn-TiO_2$ coatings were prepared on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy for dental implants using a plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) method carried out in electrolytes containing different concentrations of Mn, namely, 0%, 5%, and 20%. Potentiodynamic method was employed to examine the corrosion behaviors, and the alternatingcurrent (AC) impedance behaviors were examined in 0.9% NaCl solution at $36.5^{\circ}C{\pm}1.0^{\circ}C$ using a potentiostat and an electrochemical impedance spectroscope. The potentiodynamic test was performed with a scanning rate of $1.667mV\;s^{-1}$ from -1,500 to 2,000 mV. A frequency range of $10^{-1}$ to $10^5Hz$ was used for the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The amplitude of the AC signal was 10 mV, and 5 points per decade were used. The morphology and structure of the samples were examined using field-emission scanning electron microscopy and thin-film X-ray diffraction. The elemental analysis was performed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Result: The PEO-treated surface exhibited an irregular pore shape, and the pore size and number of the pores increased with an increase in the Mn concentration. For the PEO-treated surface, a higher corrosion current density ($I_{corr}$) and a lower corrosion potential ($E_{corr}$) was obtained as compared to that of the bulk surface. However, the current density in the passive regions ($I_{pass}$) was found to be more stable for the PEO-treated surface than that of the bulk surface. As the Mn concentration increased, the capacitance values of the outer porous layer and the barrier layer decreased, and the polarization resistance of the barrier layers increased. In the case of the Mn/Ca-P coatings, the corroded surface was found to be covered with corrosion products. Conclusion: It is confirmed that corrosion resistance and polarization resistance of PEO-treated alloy increased as Mn content increased, and PEO-treated surface showed lower current density in the passive region.

초임계이산화탄소에서 실릴화제를 사용하여 반응시간, 압력, 온도를 변화하며 플라스마에 의해 손상된 다공성 p-SiOCH 필름의 실릴화 보수반응을 진행하였다. FT-IR 분석 결과 $3150{\sim}3560cm^{-1}$ 영역의 $SiOH/H_2O$ 특성밴드의 감소는 다소 확인할 수 있었지만, 메틸화 peak의 변화치는 관찰하기 어려웠다. 그러나 실릴화에 따른 표면 소수성은 빠른 반응시간 내에 복원되었다. 내부 복원반응을 효과적으로 유도하기 위하여 열 전처리 공정을 상압 또는 진공 조건에서 진행하였으며, 전처리에 따라 표면 접촉각이 약간 상승하였고, 뒤이은 초임계 실릴화반응으로 표면 소수성이 완전히 복원되는 것을 관찰하였다. 플라스마 손상과정에서 표면 내부 메틸기의 감소가 나타나지만 실릴화 보수반응에 따라 메틸기의 복원은 눈에 띄게 나타나지 않음을 FT-IR, spectroscopic ellipsometry 와 secondary ion mass spectroscopy의 분석결과를 통하여 확인하였다. 막질에 대한 Ti 증착 후 glow discharge spectrometry로 내부 Ti 원소를 분석한 결과, 초임계 실릴화반응을 통하여 손상된 p-SiOCH막질의 열린 기공의 봉인효과가 나타나는 것을 확인하였다.

The hot corrosion behavior of plasma sprayed 4 mol% $Y_2O_3-ZrO_2$ (YSZ) thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) with volcanic ash is investigated. Volcanic ash that deposited on the TBCs in gas-turbine engines can attack the surface of TBCs itself as a form of corrosive melt. YSZ coating specimens with a thickness of 430-440 ${\mu}m$ are prepared using a plasma spray method. These specimens are subjected to hot corrosion environment at $1200^{\circ}C$ with five different duration time, from 10 mins to 100 h in the presence of corrosive melt from volcanic ash. The microstructure, composition, and phase analysis are performed using Field emission scanning electron microscopy, including Energy dispersive spectroscopy and X-ray diffraction. After the heat treatment, hematite ($Fe_2O_3-TiO_2$) and monoclinic YSZ phases are found in TBCs. Furthermore the interface area between the molten volcanic ash layers and YSZ coatings becomes porous with increases in the heat treatment time as the YSZ coatings dissolved into molten volcanic ash. The maximum thickness of this a porous reaction zone is 25 ${\mu}m$ after 100 h of heat treatment.
