In this study, three-dimensional (3D) networks structure using single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) for Si-graphite composite electrode was developed and studied about effects on the electrochemical performances. To investigate the effect of SWCNTs on forming a conductive 3D network structure electrode, zero-dimensional (0D) carbon black and different SWCNTs composition electrode were compared. It was found that SWCNTs formed a conductive network between nano-Si and graphite particles over the entire area without aggregation. The formation of 3D network structure enabled to effective access for lithium ions leading to improve the c-rate performance, and provided cycle stability by alleviating the Si volume expansion from flexibility and buffer space. The results of this study are expected to be applicable to the electrode design for high-capacity lithium-ion batteries.

강화플라스틱(FRP) 선박은 화재 시 화염확산을 막기 위하여 관련 구조 기준에 따라 기관실 주위 벽 내부를 난연성 수지로 3회 이상 적층하거나, 이와 동등한 방열재로 둘러싸야한다. 관련 난연성 적층용 수지 및 일부 난연재료(연질폴리우레탄복합체)의 경우 선박용 물건의 형식승인 시험기준에 따라 그 성능을 평가할 수 있으나, 방열재로 빈번하게 사용되고 있는 '겔코트'에 대한 성능기준은 명확하지 않은 실정으로 난연성 수지와 화재안전성능이 비교 평가된 바 없다. 본 연구에서는 FRP 선박을 건조하는 조선소를 대상으로 설문조사를 실시하여 사용 중인 난연성 수지 3종, 겔코트 4종, 방염도료 1종 및 폴리우레탄 복합재 1종에 대해 화염전파시험과 방염성능시험을 적용하여 그 성능을 비교하였다. 화염전파시험 결과 임계열유속(CFE) 기준으로 각 종별 평균값을 비교하면 폴리우레탄 복합재, 난연성 수지, 방염도료, 겔코트 순으로 양호한 것으로 나왔고, 겔코트는 3회 도포한 것이 6회 도포한 것보다 양호한 결과를 보였다. 방염성능시험 결과 탄화면적 기준으로 각 종별 평균값을 비교하면 방염도료가 가장 좋게 나왔고 난연성 수지와 겔코트는 유사한 수준으로 나타났다.

선박의 평형수처리장치 전해조 내부 용액은 해수를 전기분해 시 DSA(Dimension Stable Anode) 전극에서 생성되는 수산화물로 인하여 높은 알칼리성 분위기를 생성한다. 본 연구에서는 기존 평형수처리장치 배관에 사용되어지는 PE 코팅 강관 배관의 취약성을 대체 가능한 복합재료로써 4가지 소재를 선정하였으며, 이들 BRE(Basalt fiber reinforced epoxy), BRP(Basalt fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester), GRE(Glass fiber reinforced epoxy), GRP(Glass fiber reinforced unsaturated polyester)를 강 알칼리성 NaOH 용액에 720시간 침지 후 마찰 및 마모 시험을 통하여 재료 마찰 깊이에 따른 마찰계수와 섬유와 수지 간 계면 결합 거동을 분석하였다. 그 결과, 수지와 섬유 간의 게면 분리 현상에 대한 메커니즘을 도출하였다. 또한, 불포화폴리에스테르와 같이 상대적으로 낮은 계면 결합력의 갖는 소재의 경우, 알칼리성 용액에 침지 시간이 길어질수록 표면에서부터 시작된 열화가 내부로 급격하게 확산되어 마찰 계수의 감소로 이어지는 경향을 나타냈다.

Advances in laser technology have yielded a multitude of innovative processes and applications in various industries. Laser peening is a typical example invented in the mid-1990s as a surface technology, which converted residual stress from tension to compression by just irradiating successive laser pulses to metallic materials under aqueous environment without any surface preparation. The effects of laser peening have been experimentally studied on residual stress, stress corrosion cracking(SCC) susceptibility and fatigue properties with water-penetrable frequency-doubled Nd:YAG laser. In addition, laser peening has been widely used in aviation and aerospace industries, automobile manufacturing and nuclear plant. One of the most important causes to improve the above-mentioned properties is the deeper compressive residual stress induced by laser peening. Taking advantage of the process without reacting force against laser irradiation, a remote operating system was developed to apply laser peening to nuclear power reactors as a preventive maintenance measure against SCC.

Nanomaterials are used in a range of fields, including industry, medicine, aerospace, and manufacturing, due to their unique and useful properties. In recent years, nanotechnology has developed rapidly, and the amount of nanomaterials used in various fields has increased consistently. As a result, nanomaterials are released into the aquatic and soil ecosystem, posing potential risks to organisms and environment. These materials can enter the cells and may cause serious damage to organisms. Furthermore, they can be transferred through trophic levels and food web, thereby leading to bioconcentration and biomagnification. In this study, we analyzed the trends in research on food chain transfer of nanomaterials and investigated the techniques used in the research. Although many studies have been underway, there is a need for further advanced studies on higher trophic levels and complex microcosm and mesocosm. Furthermore, study topics should be expanded to include various types of nanomaterials and varied species and trophic levels.

Inductively coupled plasma magnetron sputtering (ICPMS) has the advantage of being able to dramatically improve coating properties by increasing the plasma ionization rate and the ion bombardment effect during deposition. Thus, this paper presents the comparative results of CrN films deposited by direct current magnetron sputtering (dcMS) and ICPMS systems. The structure, microstructure, and mechanical and corrosive properties of the CrN coatings were investigated by X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy, nanoindentation, and corrosion-resistance measurements. The as-deposited CrN films by ICPMS grew preferentially on a 200 plane compared to dcMS on a 111 plane. As a result, the films deposited by ICPMS had a very compact microstructure with high hardness. The nanoindentation hardness reached 19.8 GPa, and 13.5 GPa by dcMS. The corrosion current density of CrN film prepared by ICPMS was about 9.8 × 10^-6 mA/cm², which was 1/470 of 4.6 × 10^-3 mA/cm², the corrosion current density of CrN film prepared by dcMS.

This study focuses on improving the photocatalytic degradation efficiency by synthesizing a TiO₂/WO₃ composite. Given the environmental significance of photocatalysis and the limitations posed by TiO₂'s large bandgap and high electron recombination rate, we explored doping, surface modification, and synthesis strategies. The composite was created using a ball mill process and heat treatment, analyzed with field emission scanning electron microscope, high resolution X-ray diffraction, Raman microscope, and UV-Vis/NIR spectrometer to examine its morphology, composition and absorbance. We found that incorporating WO₃ into the TiO₂ lattice forms a W_x-Ti_1-x-O₂ solution, with optimal WO₃ content reducing the band gap and enhancing sterilization efficiency by inhibiting the anatasese to rutile transition. This contributes to the field by offering a way to overcome TiO₂'s limitations and improve photocatalytic performance.

Background: Oral carcinoma (OC) remains one of the most difficult malignancies to cure. Hesa-A is an Iranian herbal-marine compound that has shown promising anti-tumor properties against various human tumors. However, its mechanism of action remains to be addressed. The present study was conducted to evaluate the effect of two doses of Hesa-A on mRNA expression of erb$\backslash$b2 as a main prognosticator tumor marker for OC in an animal model. Materials and Methods: A total of 60 rats were randomly divided into 5 groups of 12 animals each. Rats in carcinoma groups received 0, 250 and 500mg/kg body weight doses of Hesa-A 3 times a day. The other two groups were considered as treated and untreated control groups. At the end of the experiment, animals were sacrificed and tongue tissues subjected to H and E staining and real time PCR. Results: Our results showed that compared to the control group, erb$\backslash$b2 was over-expressed ~ 30% in the carcinoma group. After treatment with 250mg/kg and 500mg/kg body weight of Hesa-A, erb$\backslash$b2 levels dropped by 24.1% and 3.4 % respectively compared to the control carcinoma group (p<0.01, p<0.0001). Moreover, there was a significant relation between erb$\backslash$b2 mRNA content and observed pathological changes in studied groups (p<0.05). Conclusions: These data provide insight into mechanism(s) by which Hesa-A may improve clinical outcome of oral carcinoma by affecting oncogene erb$\backslash$b2 expression and suggest Hesa-A as an effective chemotherapeutic agent in treatment of HER+tumors.
