The purpose of this study was to measure the Micro-Knoop Hardness of three commercial visible light-cured composite resins (Plurafil-super, He1iosit and Durafi) according to the difference of depth and shade. Specimens of the resin were prepapared in plastic tubes 5mm in diameter with height of 5mm, and the tubes were put into the columned holes in stone molds. The molds were exposed to the visible light through the hole 5mm in diameter in metal plate. Specimens were sectioned (longitudinally) with disk. Knoop Hardness measurements were made at the depth of surface, 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0, 2.5 and 3.0mm from the surface to the deep portion. Knoop Hardness numbers were taken on each depth under 20gm load for 10 seconds with Shimadzu Tester. The following results were: 1. The highest hardness value was measured at 0.5mm depth. Then the deeper the depth, the lesser the hardness was observed. 2. The value of hardness was directly propotional to the time of exposure to the light. 3. The hardness of light shade resin was higher than the that of the dark shade. 4. The pattern of hardness change at varying depth is similar to all the experimental materials with no relation to the shade nor exposure time.

In this study, Barium Germanium glasses were prepared with a composition of xBaO-(72-x)GeO₂-8La₂O₃-20ZnO where x = 16.0, 18.0, 20.0, 22.0 and 24.0 mol% respectively. Their physical and optical properties, such as refractiveness index, glass transition temperature (T_g), softening temperature (T_s), transmittance and Knoop hardness were studied. The results showed that refractive index, T_g, T_s and coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) increased with increasing BaO concentration. The refractive index of all the prepared samples was observed between 1.7811 to 1.7881. The Abbe number was calculated by formula using n_d (589.3 nm), n_f (656.3 nm) and n_c (486.1 nm) and observed to be between 38 to 40. The Abbe number of the prepared sample was similar to that of BaO and GeO₂. The transmittance of the prepared glasses was observed to be between 80 ~ 82 % throughout the range from 200 nm to 800 nm. Knoop hardness divided into seven steps were measured 5 class (≥ 450 ~ < 550) of all prepared samples.

This study was performed to investigate the effec% of immersion in water and thermal cycling on the mechanical peoperties of light cured restorative composite resins. Five commerically available light-cured composite resins(Photo Clearfil A : CA, Lite-Fil A . LF, Clearril Photo Posterior CP, Prisms AP.H.. PA, 2100 : ZH) were unto The specimens of 12 m in diameter and 0.7 m in thickness were made, and an immersion in $37^{\circ}C$ water for 7 days and a thermal cycling of 1000 cycles at 15 second dwell time each in $5^{\circ}C$ and $55^{\circ}C$ baths were performed. Biaxial flexure test was conducted using the ball-on-three-ball method at the crosshead speed of 0.5mm/min. In order to investigate the deterioration of composite resins during the thermal cycling test, Weibull analysis for the biaxial flexure strengths was done. Fracture surfaces and the surfaces before and after the thermal cycling test were examined by SEM. The highest Weibull modulus value of 10.09 after thermal cycling tests which means the lowest strength variation, was observed in the CP group, and the lowest value of 4.47 was obsered in the LF Group. Biaxial flexure strengths and Knoop hardness numbers significantly decreased due to the thermal cycling ($\textit{p}$< 0.01), however, they recovered when specimens were drie4 The highest biaxial flexure strength of 125.65MPa was observed in the ZH group after the thermal cycling test, and the lowest value of 64.86MPa was observed in the CA group. Biaxial flexure strengths of ZH and CP groups were higher than those of PA, CF, and CA groups after thermal cycling test($\textit{p}$< 0.05). Knoop hardness numbers of CP group after the thermal cycling test was the highest(95.47 $\pm$ 7.35kg/$mm^2$) among the samples, while that of CA group was the lowest(30.73 $\pm$ 2.58kg/$mm^2$). Knoop hardness numbers showed the significant differences between the CP group and others after the thermal cycling test(($\textit{p}$< 0.05). Fracture surfaces showed that the composite resin failure developed along the matrix resin and the filler/resin interface region, and the cracks propagated in the conical shape from the maximum tensile stress zone.

리늄판의 미세경도를 압흔 하중 및 온도의 함수로 구하였다. 미세경도의 온도의존성은 상온에서 100$0^{\circ}C$까지의 범위에서 Vickers 압흔기가 내장된 고온 미세압흔기를 이용하여 연구되었다. 미세경도의 하중의존성은 Vickers와 Knoop 압흔기를 이용하여 검토되었다. 압흔 크기 영향은 표준화된 Meyers법칙에 위해 충분히 설명 되었다. 압흔도중 압흔기 아래에서의 가공경화 때문에 어닐링된 리늄판 경도값은 높은 압흔 하중에서 압련되 리늄판의 경도값에 접근하였다. 경도의 하중의존성으로부터 외삽하여 얻어진 하중 영에서의 경도값은 경도값이 다른 열활성을 나타내는 두 개의 다른 기구에 의해 제어됨을 제시하였다. 낮은 온도에서 활성화에너지는 0.02eV 였으며, 한편 높은 온도에서 활성화에너지는 0.15eV 였다. 이때 전이온도는 대략 $250^{\circ}C$ 이었다.

WC/C multilayered films were deposited by arc ion plating and magnetron sputter hybrid system with various $C_2$H$_2$ flow rates and bias voltages. The coatings have been characterized with respect to their chemical composition (Glow Discharge Optical Emission Spectroscopy), hardness(Knoop micro-hardness), residual stress(Laser beam bending) and friction coefficient(Ball on disc type wear test). Deposition rate, microhardness and residual stress of WC/C films were observed to increase with increasing the $C_2$$H_2$ flow rates. The highest hardness and residual stress were measured to be 26.5 GPa and 1.1GPa for, WC/C film deposited at substrate bias of -100V. WC/C multilayered film was obtained very low friction coefficient(~0.1).

Boron-containing materials have several excellent properties, such as superlnardness, insulation and non-Rinear optical property. Recently, oxynitride compounds, such as Si(ON), Ti(ON), became the promising materials applied in diffusion barrier layer and solar cell. With the expectation of obtaining the hybrid property, we have firstly grown the BON thin film by radio frequency (R.F.) plasma enhanced metalorganic chemical vapm deposition (PEMOCVD) with 100 kHz frequency and trimethyl borate precursor. The plasma source gases used in this study were Ar and $H_2$, and two kinds of nhmgen source gases, $N_2$ and <$NH_3$, were also employed. The as-grown films were characterized by XPS, IR, SEM and Knoop microlhardness tester. The relationship between the films hardness and the growth rate indicated that the hardness of the film was dependent on several factors such as nitrogen source gas, substrate temperature and film thickness due to the variation of the composition and the structure of the film. Both nitrogen and carbon content could raise the film hardness, on which nitrogen content did stronger effect than carbon. The smooth morphology and continuous structure was benefit of obtaining high hardness. The maximum hardness of BON film was about 10 GPa.

The behavior of magnesite during hot pressing is studied from 80$0^{\circ}C$ to 110$0^{\circ}C$ by Knoop hardness test, X-ray diffraction and electron microscopy. The growth of magnesia crystallite in magnesite is observed at 110$0^{\circ}C$ and crystallite size is about 2 microns. It is also observed that hot pressing showes enhanced sinterability comparing to ordinary pressure-less sintering. The magnesia body with 95 per cent of theoretical density is obtained by hot pressing at relatively low temperature such as 110$0^{\circ}C$.

An electroplating on the lead frame fabricated from domestic copper plate was studied experimentally. In this study, nickel was plated on the thin copper lead frame and silver layer was coated on the nickel film in the cyanide electrolyte. The effect of process variables such as current density, plating time, coating thickness and flow rate of electrolytic solution on the properties of coating was investigated. Some samples on each step were fabricated during electroplating. The results obtained from polarization measurement, observation of SEM photograph, adhesion test of coating and microhardness test are as follows. On silver plating, polarization resistance of potentiostatic cathodic polarization curve is reduced as the flow rate of Ag electrolytic solution increases. And above resistance is also reduced when the minor chemicals of sodium cyanide and sodium carbonate are added in potassium silver cyanide bath. The reduced polarization resistance makes silver deposition on the cathode easy. An increase in the current density and the coating thickness causes the particle size of deposit to coarsen, and consequently the Knoop microhardness of the coating decreases. On selective plating an increase in the flow rate of plating solution lead to do high speed plating with high current density. In this case, the surface morphology of deposit is of fine microstructure with high Knoop hardness. An increasing trend of the adhesion of coating was shown with increasing the current density and flow rate of electrolytic solution.
