본 연구는 플라즈마 전해 산화 (PEO) 및 RF (Radio Frequency) 스퍼터링을 이용한 2 단계 접근법에 의해 처리 된 MgO / Ni-Cr의 고내식성 이중층 코팅을 제조하기 위해 수행되었다. 이를 위해 $100mA/cm^2$ 교류 조건에서 180 s PEO를 한 후 150W 에서 900s RF 스퍼터링을 수행 하였다. 코팅의 형태는 주사전자현미경(SEM)을 사용하여 관찰되었으며 코팅의 상조성은 X-선 회절(XRD) 및 X-선 광전자 분광법(XPS)을 사용하여 분석하였다. SEM 이미지는 스퍼터링 된 Ni-Cr이 크랙의 대부분과 미세한 미세 공극을 덮어 코팅 결함이 감소함을 보여 주었다. 따라서, 코팅 된 샘플의 거칠기 값은 스퍼터링 공정 후에 감소되었다. 단면 이미지로부터, 스퍼터링된 코팅층은 낮은 두께 때문에 거의 검출되지 않았다. EDS, XRD 및 XPS를 사용한 조성 분석은 금속 상태의 형태로 Ni 및 Cr 존재를 나타내었고 XPS에서 NiCr2O4 부동태 피막이 검출되었다. MgO / Ni-Cr 이중층 코팅의 내부식성은 MgO / Ni-Cr 이중층을 가진 샘플의 금속 원소와 비교하여 우수한 부식 특성을 나타내는 전위 역학적 분극 시험 및 전기 화학적 임피던스 분광법으로 평가 하였다.

In order to evaluate the properties of the sintered zirconia for optical ferrule, specimens were prepared at 1350, 1400 and $1450^{\circ}C$ using starting materials supplied by A, B and C providers. Crystallinity, microstructure and mechanical strength were tested as a function of sintering temperature. Crystallinity of the sintered specimens was determined by X-ray diffraction analysis. A field emission-scanning electron microscope was used for studying the microstructure after sintering. Bending strength and Vickers' hardness were also examined by universial tester and Vickers' hardness tester, respectively. The specimen B sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ was favorable because of its high tetragonality and good mechanical strength for practical usage.

The rocks exposed on the surface undergo expedite weathering process due to the effects of climatic process, etc. and the weathering process changes the properties of minerals, thereby lowering the stability of rocks. Therefore, it is important to examine the composition of minerals in order to investigate the resistance of rocks against weathering, which is performed by weathering sensitivity analysis. And microscopic flaking test was performed for the bored samples in this study and the composition of minerals that are vulnerable to weathering was measured through mode analysis. The lithological and mineralogical weathering factors were evaluated through this process. Furthermore, the degree of progress of weathering was identified by quantitatively measuring the actual mineral composition of rocks through X-Ray diffraction analysis and identifying the secondary minerals through observation with a scanning electron microscope. This analyzing the weathering sensitivity was analyzed to be capable of determining appropriate indicators that can determine weather resistance and predicting the weathering grade using chemical weathering speed.

본 연구에서는 Titanate Nanotube (TNT)를 LBL-SA (layer-by-layer self-assembling) method을 이용하여 전기변색 (electrochromism device, ECD) 소자에 적용하고자 하였다. TNT 분말은 10M NaOH와 $TiO_2$를 혼합한 후 autoclave에서 130$^{\circ}C$, 48시간 동안 수열합성하여 제조하였다. 주사전자현미경 (SEM)으로 TNT 분말의 형상을 관찰한 결과, 직경 20$\sim$30nm, 길이 500$\sim$600nm의 튜브 형상을 나타내었으며, X-선 회절시험 (XRD) 결과 층상구조로 확인되었다. 코팅 물질의 표면 전하를 이용한 LBL-SA method에 적용시키기 위해 수용액 중에서 TNT 입자 표면 전하를 TBAOH (tetrabutylammonium hydroxide)를 적정하여 제타 전위 값이 -40mV로 최대가 되도록 하였으며, 이때 pH 값은 9로 나타났다. 2전극 시스템을 이용하여 cycle voltammetry를 측정한 결과, -0.5$\sim$-1.5V 영역에서 산화환원전위 피크가 뚜렷하게 나타났으며, 짙은 갈색으로 변색되는 것을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과로서 TNT 박막은 전기를 인가하였을 때 n-type 반도체 성질을 갖는 것으로 나타났으며, 앞으로 display 연구 분야에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 주목된다.

Purpose. The aim of this study was to evaluate biaxial flexural strength and hardness of colored monolithic zirconia after dipping in different time intervals of coloring solution. Materials and Methods. Disk shaped specimens were prepared from monolithic zirconia (Eclipse V2.0, AMS, Gimpo, Korea). Four experimental groups were categorized (n = 12) due to coloring time (PU (0s); ST (8s); OV (1 min); PS (preshade)), to evaluate biaxial flexural strength and Vickers hardness. After fracture, X-ray diffraction analysis was performed using fractured specimens. Results were analyzed with one-way ANOVA test. Results. There was no significant difference between groups in the biaxial flexural strength test. However, in the Vickers hardness test, the group with standard dipping time (ST) showed significantly higher value than the group without dipping in coloring liquid (PU)(P=.038). Also, there was no significant difference in the rest of the groups (P>.05). As a result of X-ray diffraction analysis, specific peaks of tetragonal phase were shown and the volume of monoclinic phase fraction was lower than 25%. Conclusion. Although this study has several limitations, coloring liquids had no significant effect on biaxial flexural strength. Vickers hardness was significantly different between the group to which the coloring liquid was applied and the group to which the coloring solution was not applied, but there was no significant difference between the other groups. Also, the flexural strength of monolithic zirconia corresponds to Class 5 of the minimal flexural strength standard according to the use of dental ceramics.

In this work, the effect of electroless Ni-plating of multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) on thermal conductivity and fracture toughness properties of MWCNTs/$Al_2O_3$/epoxy composites was investigated. The surface properties of the Ni-plated MWCNTs were determined by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray photoelectron spectrometry (XPS), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analyses. Thermal conductivity was tested using a thermal conductivity measuring system. The fracture toughness of the composites was carried out through the critical stress intensity factor ($K_{IC}$) measurement. As a result, the electroless Ni-plated MWCNTs led to a significant change of surface characteristics of the MWCNTs. Thermal conductivity and fracture toughness of the MWCNTs/$Al_2O_3$/epoxy composites were greater than those of non-treated ones. These results were probably due to the improvement of intermolecular interaction between the Ni-MWCNTs and the matrix resins.

The effect of long-term aging degradation on magnetic properties of ferritic 11Cr low-carbon steel was investigated. Coercivity and hysteresis loss measured from the hysteresis loops decreased with long-term aging time and showed that the relation was well fitted by a second order exponential function. Vickers hardness also decreased with aging time and resulted in mechanical softening. In addition, the microstructural evolution was observed by the scanning electron microscopy, backscattered electron image and X-ray diffraction. The $Cr_{23}C_6$ precipitates along grain boundary grew fast and Laves ($Fe_2W$) phase on martensitic lath boundaries in interior grains was developed. The solid solution atoms depleted in matrix and lath subgrains recovered owing to precipitate coarsening with long-term aging degradation. There was a close relation with softening of magnetic and mechanical properties.

The effect of electroless Ni and Cu plating on $LaNi_5$, $AB_5$ type hydrogen storage alloy was investigated by the various electrochemical techniques such as constant current charge-discharge test, cyclic voltammeoy, and a.c. impedance spectroscopy. Scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction test were conducted for phenomenological logical analyses. Cyclic Voltammetry results show that activation characteristics, cycle life and reaction ,rate were improved through electroless Ni and Cu plating. Compared with bare $LaNi_5$ the charge transfer resistance of electrode was greatly reduced as charge-discharge cycle increases. Therefore, electroless Ni and Cu plating on $LaNi_5$ alloy tends to accelerate the early activation, increasing the cyclic lift of electrode.

In this paper, Machinery analysis was conducted, in order to predict highest exposure temperatures and the analyze fire damage in the case of fire on reinforced concrete structure. After analyzing differential thermal of reference materials in accordance with temperature of concrete reference core specimen, it turned out that powerful endothermic peak came resulting from evaporation of capillary water and get water untill $200^{\circ}C$, another endothermic peak came resulting from decomposition of calcium hydroxide at $520^{\circ}C$, and then mass of reference materials remarkably decreased due to endothermic reaction. Another powerful endothermic reaction came after decomposition of calcite at $720^{\circ}C$. After analyzing X-ray diffraction of reference materials in accordance with temperature of concrete reference core specimen, it turned out that calcium hydroxide existed until the temperature of $400^{\circ}C$, but CH almost disappeared and CaO appeared from $600^{\circ}C$. The production increased in proportion to the temperature. This is because that calcium hydroxide and calcite are decomposed and CaO is produced when the temperature of concrete increases with fire. It is estimated that calcium hydroxide and calcite are utterly decomposed and peak disappears, and peak of CaO is remarkably formed instead, at the temperature of $700-800^{\circ}C$.
