Multiwall carbon nanotubes (MWCNT) with two different (L/D) aspect ratios ($7{\pm}2{\mu}m/140{\pm}30nm$ and $0.5-2{\mu}m/8-15nm$) were surface treated using nitric acid ($HNO_3$) and polyethyleneimine (PEI) prior to their deposition on carbon fibers (CF). Before the hierarchical reinforcement with CF-MWCNT, the CFs were treated with 3-glycidoxypropyltrime-thoxysilane, a coupling agent (Z6040) and with poly(amidoamine) (PAMAM) a dendrimer containing an ethylenediamine core and amine surface groups. The MWCNT were deposited on the CF using two methods, by electrostatic attraction and by chemical reactions. The changes in the CF surface morphology after the MWCNT deposition were analyzed using SEM, which revealed a higher density and uniform coverage for the PAMAM-treated CF and the short MWCNTs. The interfacial adhesion of the composite materials was evaluated using the single fiber fragmentation technique. The results indicated an improvement in the interfacial shear strength with the addition of the short-MWCNTs treated with acid solutions and grafted onto the surface of the CF fiber using electrostatic attraction.

TiN 박막은 저온(<$500^{\circ}C$), 저압(1Torr)에서 Tetrakis(diethylamido)titanium[TDEAT, Ti(NEt2)4]single precursor를 사용하여 증착하였다. 증차고딘 박막은 SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy)으로 surface morphology와 step coverage를 측정하였고, TEM(Transmission Electron Microscopy)분석결과 microcrystalline의 TiN을 확인하였다. XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy)분석결과에 따르면 $200-500^{\circ}C$구간에서는 $\beta$-hydogen elimination에 의한 반응이 일어나고 $600-700^{\circ}C$구간에서는 thermal decomposition에 의한 반응이 일어나고 있음을 알 수 있다. Carbon과 oxygen의 농도는 AES(Auger Electron Spectroscopy)를 사용하여 측정하였으며 온도가 감소할수록 carbon의 농도가 감소하는 경향을 보여주고 있다.

Electrical characteristics at the p-GaP semiconductor/CsNO3 electrolyte interfaces were investigated. It is found that such interfacial phenomena are well analyzed by semiconductor-semiconductor pn junction diode models and image charge effects of semiconductor-vacuum interfaces. The formation processes of electrical double layers and their potential variations are verified using cyclic voltammetric methods. The interfacial current are influenced by Cs+ ion coverage onto the semiconductor electrode surface and structure of electrical double layer.

To investigate the restoration procedure on soil physical properties and vegetation at the surface of strip road affected by timber harvesting operation. This study was carried out at strip roads constructed between 1989 and 1994 in Mt. Baekun, Kwangyang, Chollanam-Do. Soil hardness of the surface layer was improved with change of time after strip road construction, but that of 7.6~15 cm depth from the surface was not improved. According to linear regression analysis, it was estimated 16.6 years in 0~7.5 cm and 16.9 years in 7.6~15 cm soil depth to be restored to natural forest lands. The amount of surface soil erosion was 0.045$m^3$/km/yr on strip roads constructed in 1989 and 1990, and road constructed in 1994 showed the highest value (4.5$m^3$/km/yr). Vegetation coverage rates of road surface were 96.7% in strip roads constructed in 1990. Those of cutslope and fillslope were highest in roads constructed in 1990. The results indicated that strip roads were restored with change of time after road construction.

films of gold nanoparticles were formed on indium tin oxide (ITO) by an electrodeposition method from an aminosilicate stabilized gold colloid solution. The thin films were examined by cyclic voltammetry (CV), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), UV-visible, and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). The surface coverage of gold nanoparticles on the thin film was estimated to 1.2 nanomole/cm2. An anthraquinone-2, 6-disulfonic acid, disodium salt (AQDS) self-assembled layer was generated by immersing gold thin film into 1mM of AQDS in 0.1M HClO4 solution for over 20 hours. As a result, a new absorbance peak from the multi-layers (AQDS/thin film of gold /ITO) was obtained about at 690 nm. Also, the surface plasmon absorption of multi-layers was measured by UV-Visible spectrometer along with chronoamperometry by applying the various potentials from +0.5V to -0.5V. The maximum surface plasmon absorption band at 550 nm was decreased by applying negative potentials. The change of absorbance was correlated with the surface coverage of the AQDS indicating the pseudo-capacity surface state of the AQDS layer was coupled to the energy level of the plasmonband by applied negative potentials.

Saturation-coverage silyl, $-SiH_3(a)$, overlayers were prepared from $Si_2H_6$ adsorption on three comparative surfaces: clean unmodified; D-precovered; and atomically roughened Si(100). Together with its precursor-mediated adsorption behavior, the surface reactivity of $Si_2H_6$ was found to be the highest on the unmodified Si(100)-$2{\times}1$ surface. This was correlated with its dissociative adsorption mechanism, in which both the $H_3Si-SiH_3$ bond scission and the dual surface $Si-SiH_3(a)$ bond formation require a surface dangling bond 'pair'. The unusually high thermal stability of $-SiH_3(a)$ on the unmodified surface was ascribed to a nearly close-packed $-SiH_3(a)$ coverage of ${\sim}0.9$ monolayer and the consequent lack of dangling bonds on the silyl-packed surface.

A new method of numerical simulating prediction and decontamination effect evaluation for abrasive jet decontamination to radioactively contaminated metal is proposed. Based on the Computational Fluid Dynamics and Discrete Element Model (CFD-DEM) coupled simulation model, the motion patterns and distribution of abrasives can be predicted, and the decontamination effect can be evaluated by image processing and recognition technology. The impact of three key parameters (impact distance, inlet pressure, abrasive mass flow rate) on the decontamination effect is revealed. Moreover, here are experiments of reliability verification to decontamination effect and numerical simulation methods that has been conducted. The results show that: ⁶⁰Co and other homogeneous solid solution radioactive pollutants can be removed by abrasive jet, and the average removal rate of Co exceeds 80%. It is reliable for the proposed numerical simulation and evaluation method because of the well goodness of fit between predicted value and actual values: The predicted values and actual values of the abrasive distribution diameter are Ф57 and Ф55; the total coverage rate is 26.42% and 23.50%; the average impact velocity is 81.73 m/s and 78.00 m/s. Further analysis shows that the impact distance has a significant impact on the distribution of abrasive particles on the target surface, the coverage rate of the core area increases at first, and then decreases with the increase of the impact distance of the nozzle, which reach a maximum of 14.44% at 300 mm. It is recommended to set the impact distance around 300 mm, because at this time the core area coverage of the abrasive is the largest and the impact velocity is stable at the highest speed of 81.94 m/s. The impact of the nozzle inlet pressure on the decontamination effect mainly affects the impact kinetic energy of the abrasive and has little impact on the distribution. The greater the inlet pressure, the greater the impact kinetic energy, and the stronger the decontamination ability of the abrasive. But in return, the energy consumption is higher, too. For the decontamination of radioactively contaminated metals, it is recommended to set the inlet pressure of the nozzle at around 0.6 MPa. Because most of the Co elements can be removed under this pressure. Increasing the mass and flow of abrasives appropriately can enhance the decontamination effectiveness. The total mass of abrasives per unit decontamination area is suggested to be 50 g because the core area coverage rate of the abrasive is relatively large under this condition; and the nozzle wear extent is acceptable.

The electronic and magnetic structure of Fe overlayers on W(110) is determined by means of the all-electron local spin density full potential linearized augmented plane wave (FLAPW) method with a single slab approach. Charge and spin densities, magnetic moments, contact hyperfine fields, and layer projected density of states (LDOS) are presented. For bilayer Fe coverage, we find magnetic moments to be 2.90 and 2.30 ${\mu}_B$ for the surface and subsurface Fe layers, respectively, corresponding to a 18% enhancement of the total magnetization compared with the calculated bulk value (2.22${\mu}_B$);For monolayer coverage the moment is 2.56 ${\mu}_B$ which is enhanced by 16% compared to bulk. Unusual changes in the magnetic hyperfine interaction are found in going from a monolayer to a bilayer coverage. Comparison of the results to the theoretical ones of the clean Fe(110) to discuss the hybridization and the negative pressure effects. We discuss our results by comparing them to experimental results.

Bisphosphonate-related osteonecrosis of the jaw (BRONJ) is defined as exposed necrotic bone without evidence of healing for at least 8 weeks in the maxillofacial area in a patient with history of bisphosphonate use. Obtaining complete coverage of the hard tissue by soft tissue in BRONJ patients is especially important. Therefore, managing the mucosa is one of the key factors in a successful outcome, but this is especially hard to achieve in BRONJ patients. Various applications of buccal fat pad in oral reconstruction-including the closure of surgical defects following tumor excision, repair of surgical defects following the excision of leukoplakia and submucous fibrosis, closure of primary and secondary palatal clefts, coverage of maxillary and mandibular bone grafts, and lining of sinus surface of maxillary sinus bone graft in sinus lift procedures for maxillary augmentation-have been studied. Eliminating all potential sites of infection and post-operative infection control is crucial in BRONJ. We present a case using the buccal fat pad pedicle for a stage 3 BRONJ defect. Uneventful total epithelialization of the buccal fat pad regardless of size was noted. In summary, the buccal fat pad has versatile application and various recipient sites for surgical utilization. It is an easy technique, with promising overall success rates. With careful selection and handling, buccal fat graft can resolve problems with soft tissue coverage in stage 2 or 3 BRONJ patients.
