This study is experimentally investigated brown gas generative properties with the changes of cell areas, a electrolyte concentration and ampere current for the developments of small brown gas generation equipments usable in diesel cars. Electrolysis reactors have been manufactured as SMT30, SMT50, SMT50-1, SMT70, SMT90, respectively on various surface areas and different positions anode and cathode. Thus, the brown gas generative properties on reactors tended to increase as surface area increase, and show differences in different electrode positions. However, the effect on electrolyte concentration had increased with a decreasing electrolyte concentration of NAOH 3~1‰, and the brown gas generative properties on ampere of SMT30, SMT50, SMT50-1, SMT70, SMT90 have shown to be $0.74{\ell}/10min$, $1.0{\ell}/10min$, $1.10,{\ell}/10min$, $0.97{\ell}/10min$, $1.13{\ell}/10min$.

One of the major deficiencies of composite restorative resins is their insufficient resistance to wear. Of the multitude of factors that have been associated with wear, subsurface degradation within the restoration is considered to be one. The aim of this study was to evaluate the resistance to degradation of four commercial composite resins in an alkaline solution. The brands studied were Z100(3M), Clearfil AP-X(Kuraray), Tetric Ceram(Vivadent), Aelit flo(Bisco). Resistance to degradation was evaluated on the basis of the following parameters: (a) mass loss(%) - determined from pre-and post-exposure specimen weights: (b) Si loss(ppm) - obtained from ICP-AE analysis of solution exposed to specimens; and (c) degradation depth(${\mu}m$) - measured microscopically (SEM) from polished circular sections of exposed specimens. The results were as follows: 1. The sequence of the mass loss was in ascending order by AE, EL, TC, Z100. There was statistically significant difference of mass loss between AE, CL group and TC, Z100 group(p<0.05). 2. The sequence of the degree of degradation layer depth was in ascending order by AE, CL, TC, Z100. But there was no statistically significant difference of degree of degradation layer depth between AE and CL(p<0.05). 3. For the Si concentration, Z100 was the highest of all. 4. The correlation coefficient between mass loss and degradation depth was relatively high(r=0.71 p<0.05).
