알루미늄은 경량 금속으로 부식 저항력이 높아 철을 부식으로부터 보호하기 위한 표면처리 소재로 사용되고 있다. 철의 부식을 방지하기 위해서 알루미늄을 코팅하는 경우, 코팅 방법은 용융도금법이 주로 사용되고 있으며, 알루미늄을 빛의 반사막으로 활용하는 경우 진공 중에서 물리기상증착(physical vapor deposition; PVD)법을 사용하기도 한다. 알루미늄 박막을 물리기상 증착으로 코팅하면 박막성장 초기에 핵(nucleus)을 형성하고, 형성된 핵을 중심으로 주상정(column)으로 박막이 성장하는 것이 일반적이다. 알루미늄 박막의 주상정과 주상정 사이에 공극(pore)이 존재하기 때문에 알루미늄 박막을 부식방지 막으로 이용하기 위해서는 두께를 증가시켜야 한다. 본 연구에서는 스퍼터링(unbalanced magnetron sputtering)을 이용하여 치밀한 조직을 갖는 알루미늄 박막을 코팅할 수 있는 공정변수를 도출하고, 치밀한 알루미늄 조직이 철의 부식에 미치는 영향을 평가하였다. 기판은 냉연강판(cold rolled steel sheet)이 사용되었으며, 알루미늄 타겟의 크기는 직경 4 inch이었다. 알루미늄 박막의 미세조직과 밀도에 영향을 주는 공정변수를 확인하기 위해서 스퍼터링 파워, 공정 압력, 외부 자기장 세기 등의 조건을 변화시켜 코팅을 실시하였다. 알루미늄 박막의 밀도 변화에 가장 큰 영향을 준 공정변수는 외부 자기장의 세기와 방향이었다. 알루미늄 박막이 약 3 ${\mu}m$의 두께로 코팅된 냉연강판을 염수분무시험(salt spray test, 5% NaCl)으로 부식특성을 평가한 결과, 시험을 시작한 후 120시간 후에도 적청이 발생하지 않았다. 이러한 결과는 기존의 동일한 두께를 갖는 알루미늄이 코팅된 강판의 내부식 특성의 2배의 성능을 보여준다.

Conductive polymer blends and composites are widely used for different safety application such as electrostatic charge dissipation(ESD), electromagnetic interference(EMI) shielding, electrostatic prevention and safety chemical sensor. In order to prepare a impedance-type humidity sensor that is durable at high humidities and high temperature, electically conductive polymer blends based on diallyldimethylammonium chloride(DADMAC) and epoxy were prepared in this study. The polymer blends type conductive ionomer exhibits reaction each other DADMAC and epoxy in FT-IR and DSC analysis. The blends material was traced by new peak at 1600cm-1 and appeard improvement of thermal resistance by melting point shift. Alumina substrate was deposited a pair of gold electrodes by screen printing. The blend material were spin-coated with a thin film type on the surface of alumina substrate. The polymer bleld type sensor exhibits a linear impedance increasing better than DADMAC coated humidity sensor. Also it shows good sensitivity, low hysteresis and durability against high humidity.

A new cathode material based on Li$Ni_{0.8}Co_{0.15}Al_{0.05}O_2$ (LNCA)/polyaniline (Pani) composite was prepared by in situ self-stabilized dispersion polymerization in the presence of LNCA. The materials were characterized by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Electrochemical properties including galvanostatic charge-discharge ability, cyclic voltammetry (CV), capacity, cycling performance, and AC impedance were measured. The synthesized LNCA/Pani had a similar particle size to LNCA and exhibited good electrochemical properties at a high C rate. Pani (the emeraldine salt form) interacts with metal-oxide particles to generate good connectivity. This material shows good reversibility for Li insertion in discharge cycles when used as the electrode of lithium ion batteries. Therefore, the Pani coating is beneficial for stabilizing the structure and reducing the resistance of the LNCA. In particular, the LNCA/Pani material has advantageous electrochemical properties.

Corrosion fatigue fracture of dual phase steel(SS41) and raw material steel(SS41) were investigated in 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution at PH 4,6,9 and 11. The fatigue limit of dual phase steel is increased approximately 1.8 times larger than that of raw material in air. The corrosion fatigue life of dual phase steel is about 5-10 times larger than that of raw material in 3.5% NaCl aqueous solution. The reduction of fatigue life is larger for the acidsalt solution than for the alkali salt solution. The reduction of stress level on the reduction ratio of corrosion fatigue life is large as pH 6-11. The reduction ratio of corrosion fatigue life of dual phase steel and raw material is nearly coincided at pH 2. While at pH4-2 the reduction ratio of corrosion fatigue life only depends on the corrosion effect. It has been found that the corrosion resistance effect of dual phase steel is smaller than that of raw material in corrosion fatigue crack propagation rate. As pH below 6 is changed, it can be clearly observed from raw material that the brittle intergranular fracture is characterized, and from the above result, the influence of corrosion of dual phase steel is small.

A 20-residue hybrid peptide CA(1-8)-MA(1-12) (CAMA) incorporating residues 1-8 of cecropin A (CA) and residues 1-12 of magainin 2 (MA) has high antimicrobial activity without toxicity. To investigate the effects of the total positive charges of CAMA on the antibacterial activity and toxicity, a hybrid peptide analogue (CAMA-syn) was designed with substitutions of $Ile^{10}\;and\;Ser^{16}$ with Lys. According to CD spectra, structure of CAMA-syn with increase of cationicity was very similar to that of CAMA in DPC micelle. CAMA-syn showed antimicrobial activity similar with CAMA while CAMA-syn has no hemolytic activity and much lower cytotoxicity against RAW 264.7 macrophage cells than CAMA. Also, CAMA and CAMA-syn significantly inhibited NO production by LPSstimulated RAW264.7 macrophage at 10.0∼20.0 $\mu$M. CAMA-syn displayed salt resistance on antimicrobial activity against Escherichia coli at the physiological concentrations of $CaCl_2\;and\;MgCl_2$. The combination studies of peptides and antibiotics showed that CAMA-syn has synergistic effects with synthetic compound and flavonoid against Enterococcus faecalis and VREF. CAMA-syn can be a good candidate for the development of new antibiotics with potent antibacterial and synergistic activity but without cytotoxicity.

This study was carried out to investigate the effect of chemical cleaning of corrosion product on cooling system made of copper as a basic material and using cooling water as pure water. We studied chemical cleaning condition that minimizes the influence on basic material by means of EDTA solution so as to eliminate the slurry in cooling system. In addition, the proper amount of NALCO-39L (Nitrite-Borate-BZT mixture) as a inhibitor was determined in order to protect the copper in cooling system against corrosion after chemical cleaning and the effect of corrosion resistance on the copper surface treated was excelent in comparison with surface untreated. As a result, we found that the main components of sludge in cooling system produced by corrosion of copper were $Cu_2O$, CuO, Cu, and Fe. The optimum condition of chemical cleaning was 400ppm EDTA solution at $60^{\circ}C$. Inhibitor concentration needed to treat the surface of pure copper was 15～20ppm per unit area and corrosion rate of copper treated with 500ppm inhibitor solution for 72 hrs at $60^{\circ}C$ was remarkably decreased as compared with that of pure copper.

Durability of concrete has been currently issued in the engineering societies and a large number of studies on the concrete corrosion in salty environment have been performed. The reinforcement corrosion, which is the primary reason of deterioration of the concrete structure exposed to chloride environment. is caused by the chloride ions infiltration owing to underground water seeping into the concrete. In this study. the endurance periods using the diffusion equation of the concrete specification have been evaluated on the concrete structures with different addictives for the brand new R/C subway structure exposed to seashore underground water. Furthermore. the guidance for proper use of the addictives and the reasonable thickness of concrete cover are derived for concrete mixing. From the result of the evaluation corresponding to salt damage for Inchon subway line I, the endurance periods of the ordinary Portlandcement concretes are represented as $42\~75$ years and fail to achieve the objective period of 100 years. However, the lower water-cement ratio expands the endurance periods and the blast furnace slag concrete with small quantity of the silica fume, which shows the best performance of corrosion resistance in this study, represents more than 170 years of the endurance period. Moreover, the case of use of blast furnace slag and fly ash together shows the endurance period of $134\~171$ years and it means that the result very satisfies the objective endurance period.

Weissella confusa 31, an isolate from human feces, possesses desirable properties as a probiotic strain, including bile salt resistance. W. confusa 31 is not inhibited by bile salts up to 0.3% concentration. Proteins affected by bile salts (0.05%) were examined by 2-D gel electrophoresis. Our proteomic analyses revealed that the intensities of 29 spots were changed, where 17 increased (including 2 spots observed only under the bile salts stress conditions) and 12 decreased. Proteins were identified by MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Proteins increased in the band intensities included adenylate kinase (12.75-fold increase), Clp-like ATP-dependent protease (11.91-fold), 6-phosphogluconate dehydrogenase (10.35-fold), and HSP 70 (5.07-fold). Some of the increased or decreased proteins are also known to be involved in other types of stress responses.

This review deals with one of the surface modification techniques, chemical conversion coating and particularly cerium-based conversion coatings (CeCC) as a promising substitute for chromium and phosphate conversion coating on magnesium and its alloys. The CeCCs are commonly considered environmentally friendly. The effects of surface preparation, coating thickness, bath composition, and e-paint on the corrosion behavior of CeCCs have been studied on the AZ31 magnesium alloy. This review also correlates the coating microstructural, morphological, and chemical characteristics with the processing parameters and corrosion protection. Results showed that the as-deposited coating system consists of a three layer structure (1) a nanocrystalline MgO transition layer in contact with the Mg substrate, (2) a nanocrystalline CeCC layer, and (3) an outer amorphous CeCC layer. The nanocrystalline CeCC layer thickness is a function of immersion time and cerium salt used. The overall corrosion protection was crucially dependent on the presence of coating defects. The corrosion resistance of AZ31 magnesium alloy was better for thinner CeCCs, which can be explained by the presence of fewer and smaller cracks. On the other hand, maximum corrosion protection was achieved when AZ31 magnesium samples with thin CeCCs are e-painted. The e-paint layer further restricts and hinders the movement of chloride and other aggressive ions present in the environment from reaching the magnesium surface.

Technologies for preventing contaminants deposition are a key issue in a modern duct system. When particulate matters deposit inside the exhaust pipes, which are widely used in the Urea-SCR system to reduce $NO_x$ emission from heavy duty diesel engines, many problems arise associated with increased flow resistance and corrosion. Therefore, the development of the urea deposition avoidance technologies is being treated as an important issue of the Urea-SCR system. An analytical study was carried out to investigate the effects of the wall flow around the mixer with the variation of the mixer housing surrounding and supporting the mixer, which is designed to increase the wall flow and then to reduce droplet deposition. The housing angles and the position of the mixer were changed：angles of $0^{\circ}$, $1^{\circ}$, $2^{\circ}$, and $3^{\circ}$, and mixer positions of 0 L, 0.5 L, and 1 L. The axial velocity distributions, maximum velocity, the half-width, and momentum distribution of the wall flow were investigated to examine the effect of the mixer-housing assembly geometry.
