For gaseous fuel combustion with inherent $CO_2$ capture and low NOx emission, chemical-looping combustion may yield great advantages for the savings of energy to $CO_2$ separation and suppressing the effect on environment, In chemical-looping combustor, fuel is oxidized by metal oxide medium in a reduction reactor. Reduced particles are transported to oxidation reactor and oxidized by air and recycled to reduction reactor. The fuel and the air are never mixed, and the gases from reduction reactor, $CO_2$ and $H_2O$, leave the system as separate stream. The $H_2O$ can be easily separated by condensation and pure $CO_2$ is obtained without any loss of energy for separation. In this study, five oxygen carrier particles such as NiO/bentonite, NiO/YSZ, $(NiO+Fe_2O_3)VYSZ$, $NiO/NiAl_2O_4$, and $Co_{\chi}O_y/CoAl_2O_4$ were examined &om the viewpoints of reaction kinetics, oxygen transfer capacity, and carbon deposition characteristics. Among five oxygen particles, NiO/YSZ particle is superior in reaction rate, oxygen carrier capacity, and carbon deposition to other particles. However, at high temperature ($>900^{\circ}C$), NiO/bentonite particle also shows enough reactivity and oxygen carrier capacity to be applied in a practical system.

방전 플라즈마 소결법(SPS: Spark Plasma Sintering)을 이용하여 800~100$0^{\circ}C$의 낮은 소결 온도에서 완전 치밀화를 이루는 M-doped ZnO를 (M=Al, Ni) 제조하여 그 소결 특성과 미세구조를 분석하였다. 전자현미경 분석 결과, NiO의 첨가는 ZnO 결정격자와의 고용체 형성을 촉진시키고 결정립 성장을 유발하였고, A1$_2$O$_3$는 순수한 ZnO 소결 시 나타나는 입계에서의 증발현상을 제어하고, 이차상 형성을 통하여 결정립 성장을 억제함을 확인할 수 있었다 NiO와 $Al_2$O$_3$를 동시에 첨가한 시편이 가장 우수한 미세구조가 형성됨을 확인하였고, SEM-EBSP (Electron Back-scattered Diffraction Pattern) 분석 결과 또한 우수한 결정립계 분포를 가지고 있음을 확인하였다. 이러한, 소결체의 우수한 미세구조적 특징은 carrier 농도 증가에 따른 전기 전도도와 증가 및 phonon scattering 효과에 의한 열전도도의 감소 효과를 유발하여 ZnO의 열전 특성을 향상시키리라 사료된다.

생활 폐기물은 대부분 유리류와 자기류뿐만 아니라 많은 양의 iron을 함유하고 있으며 약 $3{\sim}11%$에 달한다. 대부분의 iron은 Ni-Fe와 Ni-Cr-Fe 같은 합금으로 존재하거나, 부식방지와 광택을 위해 Ni와 Cr로 도금된 iron으로 존재하고 있기 때문에 소각로에서 소각될 경우 철 재품 표면에 심하게 파손된 $Fe_3O_4$층과 함께 $NiFe_2O_4$와 FeCr_2O_4$을 형성하게 되어 바닥재에 존재하게 되어 중금속산화물 층을 형성시킬 수 있다. iron은 자력이 매우 강해 자력선별에 의해 쉽게 선별되며 이러한 효과로 인해 중금속 산화물의 선별까지 얻을 수 있다. 또한 바닥재는 다양한 Ni와 Cr 산화물들을 함유하고 있으며, Ni와 Cr은 강자성을 띈 물질이기 때문에 자력선별에 의해 큰 영향을 받을 수 있다. 따라서 자력선별에 따른 Ni와 Cr의 거동에 대해 조사하였으며 그 밖의 다른 중금속(Cu, Pb, Cd, As)들의 거동 또한 확인해 보았다. 그 결과 Ni와 Cr은 약 $45{\sim}50%$의 선별율을 보였으며, Cu와 Pb는 $15{\sim}20%$을 나타냈다. 또한 자력선별 전과 후의 바닥재에 대해 Ni와 Cr의 용출량을 확인해본 결과 자력선별 후 바닥재의 용출량이 더 낮음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Carbon-coated Ni, Cu and Sn nanocapsules were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a four-point probe device. All of these nanocapsules were prepared by an arc-discharge method, in which the bulk metals were evaporated under methane ($CH_4$) atmosphere. Three pure metals (Ni, Cu, Sn) were typically diverse in formation of the carbon encapsulated nanoparticles and their different mechanisms were investigated. It was indicated that a thick carbon layers formed on the surface of Ni(C) nanocapsules, whereas a thin shell of carbon with 1~2 layers covered on Cu(C) nanocapsules, and the Sn(C) nanocapsules was, in fact, a longger multi-walled carbon nanotubes partially-filled with metal Sn. As one typical magnetic/dielectric nanocomposite particles, Ni(C) nanocapsules and its counterpart of oxide-coated Ni(O) nanocapsules were compared in the electrically conductive behaviors for further applications as the electromagnetic materials.

The polymer of (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediaminebis(salicylideneaminato))-nickel(II), Ni(saldMp), was deposited on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) substrate by the route of potential linear sweep. The nano structures of poly[Ni(saldMp)] have been obtained by adjusting the monomer concentration of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mmol $L^{-1}$. The poly[Ni(saldMp)] prepared in acetonitrile solution with monomer concentration of 1.0 mmol $L^{-1}$ shows the fastest growth rate. The effects of potential window on charge-discharge efficiency and electrodeposition scan number on capacitance performance were discussed. Poly[Ni(saldMp)] prepared with less electrodeposition scans exhibits higher capacitance, but this goes against the improvement of the whole electrode capacitance. Sample with 8 deposition scans is the best compromise with the geometric specific capacitance 3.53 times as high as that of pure MWCNTs, and 1.24 times for the gravimetric specific capacitance under the test potential window 0.0-1.0 V.

Mg 및 Ni chips을 사용하여 $Mg_2NiH_x$ 수소저장합금을 Planetary Ball Mill M/C로 제조하였으며, 합금화 과정 중에 미치는 분위기 수소압의 영향을 고찰하였다. XRD분석결과 1:30의 장입비에서는 24시간 합성조건일 경우 10 bar이상의 분위기에서 $Mg_2NiH_x$ 상이 발견되었으며 48시간 합성할 경우에는 5 bar 이상의 분위기에서 나타났다. 1:66의 장입 조건에서는 24, 48시간 모두 5 bar 이상의 분위기에서 $Mg_2NiH_x$ 가 검출되었다. 합금화 초기에 만들어지는 것으로 생각되는 $MgH_x$ 로 인하여 전 공정에 걸쳐 미반응 Ni가 잔류하였으며 TG 분석결과 합금화 과정 중에 흡수된 수소저장량은 수소압의 변화에 따라 1.1 ~ 3.9 wt%에 이르는 것으로 나타났다. SEM 관찰 결과 동일 공정 조건에서는 분위기 수소압의 증가가 합금화 결과 최종적으로 얻어지는 미세입자와 그 군집체의 형상 및 크기 변화에 큰 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다.

Purpose: The biocompatibility and bio-adhesive property of a dental implant abutment are important for proper soft tissue healing and maintenance of osseointegration of implant. However, studies of soft tissue healing and mucosal attachment of various materials of implant abutment other than titanium are still needed. In this study, cell attachment, proliferation, cytotoxicity of human gingival fibroblast for ceramic, gold alloy, Ni-Cr alloy and, commercially available pure titanium as a control were evaluated, using MTS and scanning electron microscopy. Materials and Methods: Specimen was designed to disc, 4mm diameter and 1mm thickness, made of ceramic, gold alloy, Ni-Cr alloy and commercially available pure titanium. Primary culture of human gingival fibroblasts were grown in Dulbecco's modified Eagle's medium with 10% fetal bovine serum and 1% antibiotics. Cells were inoculated in the multiwell plates placed the specimen disc. Cell Titer 96 AQucous One Solution Cell Proliferation Assay were done after 1hour 3hours, 24hours, 3days, 5days of incubation. The discs were processed for scanning electron micrography to evaluate cell attachment and morphologic change. Results: The results were obtained as fellows. 1. The ceramic showed high cell attachment and proliferation and low cytotoxicity, which is as much bioadhesive and biocompatible as titanium. 2. The gold alloy represented limited proliferation of human gingival fibroblast and the highest cytotoxicity among tested materials (p<0.05). 3. The Ni-Cr alloy limited the proliferaion of the human gingival fibroblast compared to titanium(p<0.05) but cytotoxicity on the bottom of well was not so considerable, compared to titanium. 4. On the scanning electron micrographs , the ceramic showed good attachment and proliferation of human gingival fibroblast, which was similar to titanium. But gold alloy and Ni-Cr alloy showed the shrinkage of gingival fibroblast both after 24 hours and 3 days. On 5th day, small amount of the human gingival fibroblast proliferation was observed on the Ni-Cr alloy, while the shrinkage of gingival fibroblast was still observed on the gold alloy. Conclusions: These results suggest that the ceramic abutment is as biocompatible as titanium to make proper mucosal seal. The gold alloy has a high cytotoxicity to limit proliferation of gingival fibroblast, which suggest limited use on the anterior tooth where soft tissue healing is recommeded.

This paper dealt with the manufacturing of binary alloy catalyst and showed simple electrochemical method for determing catalytic activity of oxygen reduction in acid or alkaline electrolyte. The catalyst was prepared by impregnating transition metal salts on platinum or silver particles adsorbed before on carbon paper substrate. The electrochemical characteristics of the catalysts was investigated with carbon paper electrode or PTFE-boned porous electrode and then cathodic current densities and tafel slopes were compared. As a result, of all binary catalysts utilized in this work, Pt-Fe, Pt-Mo showed better oxygen reduction activity than pure platinum catalyst in acid electrolyte and Ag-Fe, Ag-Pt, and Ag-Ni-Bi-Ti catalyst did than pure silver catalyst in alkaline electrolyte. The current density of Pt-Fe electrode in acid electrolyte was one and half times higher than that of Pt electrode(~500mA/$\textrm{cm}^2$ at 0.7VvsNHE).

High purity carbon nano fibers/tubes (CNF/Ts) which contain 97% pure graphitic carbon are prepared by a new catalytic method. These carbon nano fibers/tubes are ready to use without any further purification. The striking feature of this method is the production of carbon nano fibers/tubes of narrow distribution range. The developed catalytic method also produces pure hydrogen. An additional advantage of this catalytic method is that catalyst can be reused without reactivation. Ni:Cu catalyst system is embodied into SCHOTT-DURAN filter disc of large pore size (40-100 mm). Due to the production of hydrogen in the reaction catalyst stability is enhanced and deactivation process is considerably slowed down.

We developed a compact micro indentation testing device (designated SNUT) which is capable to measure Young's modulus of a sample using depth and applied load data during indentation. Performance of this device was evaluated using pure Ti, pure Ni, and die steel (SKD11). As a result of analysing the indentation test data, the frame compliance $C_f$ was found to influence mainly the modulus by 80% among several factors affecting accuracy of Young's modulus. Project area, which was determined by indirect indentation method, was modified using direct SEM observation. Finally, Young's modulus error was reduced to 5% after taking into consideration the frame compliance and modified projected area from 80% error without any these two correction factors. The performance of SNUT and MTS instruments was compared using same specimen (pure Ti).
