$Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites are fabricated by squeeze infiltration method. From the misconstructive of $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites fabricated by squeeze infiltration method, uniform distribution of reinforcements and good bondings are found. Hardness value of $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites increases linearly with the volume fraction of reinforcement because SiC whisker and $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$ fiber have an outstanding hardness. Optimal aging conditions are obtained by examining the hardness of $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites with different aging time. Tensile properties such as Young's modulus and ultimate tensile strength are improved up to 30% and 40% by the addition of reinforcements, respectively. Failure mode of $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites is ductile on microstructural level. Through the abrasive wear test and wear surface analysis, wear behaviour and mechanism of 6061 aluminum and $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites are characterized under various testing conditions. The addition of SiC whisker to $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ composites gives rise to improvement of the wear resistance. The wear resistance of $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites is superior to that of Al/SiC composites. The wear mechanism of aluminum alloy is mainly abrasive wear at low speed range and adhesive and melt wear at high speed range. In contrast, that of $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites is abrasive wear at all speed range, but severe wear when counter material is stainless steel. As the testing temperature increases, wear loss of aluminum alloy decreases because the matrix is getting more ductile, but that of $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites is hardly varied. Oil lubricant is more effective to reduce the wear loss of aluminum alloy and $Al/SiC/Al_{2}O_{3}$ hybrid composites at high speed range.

Recently, Cu2ZnSn(S,Se)4 (CZTSS), which is one of the In- and Ga- free absorber materials, has been attracted considerable attention as a new candidate for use as an absorber material in thin film solar cells. The CZTSS-based absorber material has outstanding characteristics such as band gap energy of 1.0 eV to 1.5 eV, high absorption coefficient on the order of 104 cm-1, and high theoretical conversion efficiency of 32.2% in thin film solar cells. Despite these promising characteristics, research into CZTSS based thin film solar cells is still incomprehensive and related reports are quite few compared to those for CIGS thin film solar cells, which show high efficiency of over 20%. I will briefly overview the recent technological development of CZTSS thin film solar cells and then introduce our research results mainly related to sputter based process. CZTSS thin film solar cells are prepared by sulfurization of stacked both metallic and sulfide precursors. Sulfurization process was performed in both furnace annealing system and rapid thermal processing system using S powder as well as 5% diluted H2S gas source at various annealing temperatures ranging from $520^{\circ}C$ to $580^{\circ}C$. Structural, optical, microstructural, and electrical properties of absorber layers were characterized using XRD, SEM, TEM, UV-Vis spectroscopy, Hall-measurement, TRPL, etc. The effects of processing parameters, such as composition ratio, sulfurization pressure, and sulfurization temperature on the properties of CZTSS absorber layers will be discussed in detail. CZTSS thin film solar cell fabricated using metallic precursors shows maximum cell efficiency of 6.9% with Jsc of 25.2 mA/cm2, Voc of 469 mV, and fill factor of 59.1% and CZTS thin film solar cell using sulfide precursors shows that of 4.5% with Jsc of 19.8 mA/cm2, Voc of 492 mV, and fill factor of 46.2%. In addition, other research activities in our lab related to the formation of CZTS absorber layers using solution based processes such as electro-deposition, chemical solution deposition, nano-particle formation will be introduced briefly.

Titanium and its alloys are widely used as implants in orthopedics, dentistry and cardiology due to their outstanding properties, such as high strength, high level of hemocompatibility and enhanced biocompatibility. Hence, recent works showed that the synthesis of new Ti-based alloys for implant application involves more biocompatible metallic alloying element, such as, Nb, Hf, Zr and Mo. In particular, Nb and Hf are one of the most effective Ti ${\beta}-stabilizer$ and reducing the elastic modulus. Plasma electrolyte oxidation (PEO) is known as excellent method in the biocompatibility of biomaterial due to quickly coating time and controlled coating condition. The anodized oxide layer and diameter modulation of Ti alloys can be obtained function of improvement of cell adhesion. Silicon (Si) and magnesium (Mg) has a beneficial effect on bone. Si in particular has been found to be essential for normal bone and cartilage growth and development. In vitro studies have shown that Mg plays very important roles in essential for normal growth and metabolism of skeletal tissue in vertebrates and can be detected as minor constituents in teeth and bone. The aim of this study is to research Si and Mg doped hydroxyapatite film formation by plasma electrolytic oxidation. Ti-29Nb-xHf (x= 0, 3, 7 and 15wt%, mass fraction) alloys were prepared Ti-29Nb-xHf alloys of containing Hf up from 0 wt% to 15 wt% were melted by using a vacuum furnace. Ti-29Nb-xHf alloys were homogenized for 2 hr at $1050^{\circ}C$. Each alloy was anodized in solution containing typically 0.15 M calcium acetate monohydrate + 0.02 M calcium glycerophosphate at room temperature. A direct current power source was used for the process of anodization. Anodized alloys was prepared using 270V~300V anodization voltage at room. A Si and Mg coating was produced by RF-magnetron sputtering system. RF power of 100W was applied to the target for 1h at room temperature. The microstructure, phase and composition of Si and Mg coated oxide surface of Ti-29Nb-xHf alloys were examined by FE-SEM, EDS, and XRD.

탄소나노튜브(CNT)와 합성기판 사이의 전도성 향상을 목적으로, 현재 리튬이온이차전지 등의 분야에서 전극으로 이용되고 있는 구리 호일을 합성기판으로 하여, 그 위에 수직배향 CNT 성장의 합성 최적화를 도모하였다. 합성은 수평식 CVD 합성장비를 이용하였으며, 최적의 합성조건은 구리호일 위에 10 nm의 Al2O3 버퍼층과 1 nm 두께의 Fe 촉매층을 증착한 후, 아세틸렌 가스를 이용하여 $800^{\circ}C$에서 20분간 합성한 조건으로 설정하였다. CNT는 base-growth의 성장형태를 따랐고, Fe 1 nm 두께인 경우, $7.2{\pm}1.5nm$의 촉매나노입자가 형성되었으며, 이를 이용하여 $800^{\circ}C$에서 20분 성장결과, 직경 8.2 nm, 길이 $325{\mu}m$의 수직배향 CNT를 얻을 수 있었다. 합성시간이 길어져도 CNT의 결정성, 직경 및 겹(wall) 수에는 큰 변화가 없었다. 끝으로, 구리호일 위에 수직 성장시킨 CNT의 전계방출 특성을 측정한 결과, 실리콘 산화막 위에 성장시킨 CNT와 비교하여, 월등히 낮은 전계방출 문턱전압과 10배 정도 높은 전계향상계수를 보였다. 이는 CNT와 금속기판 사이의 계면에서 전기전도도가 향상된 결과에 기인하는 것으로 사료된다.

Perfluoropolymers represent the ultimate resistance to hostile chemical environments and high service temperature, attributed to the presence of fluorine in the polymer backbone, i.e. to the high bond energy of C-F and C-C bonds of fluorocarbons. Copolymers of Tetrafluoroethylene (TEE) and 2, 2, 4Trifluoro-5Trifluorometoxy- 1, 3Dioxole (TTD), commercially known as HYFLON AD, are amorphous perfluoropolymers with glass transition temperature (Tg)higher than room temperature, showing a thermal decomposition temperature exceeding 40$0^{\circ}C$. These polymer systems are highly soluble in fluorinated solvents, with low solution viscosities. This property allows the preparation of self-supported and composite membranes with desired membrane thickness. Symmetric and asymmetric perfluoropolymer membranes, made with HYFLON AD, have been prepared and evaluated. Porous and not porous symmetric membranes have been obtained by solvent evaporation with various processing conditions. Asymmetric membranes have been prepared by th wet phase inversion method. Measure of contact angle to distilled water have been carried out. Figure 1 compares experimental results with those of other commercial membranes. Contact angles of about 120$^{\circ}$for our amorphous perfluoropolymer membranes demonstrate that they posses a high hydrophobic character. Measure of contact angles to hexandecane have been also carried out to evaluate the organophobic character. Rsults are reported in Figure 2. The observed strong organophobicity leads to excellent fouling resistance and inertness. Porous membranes with pore size between 30 and 80 nanometers have shown no permeation to water at pressures as high as 10 bars. However high permeation to gases, such as O2, N2 and CO2, and no selectivities were observed. Considering the porous structure of the membrane, this behavior was expected. In consideration of the above properties, possible useful uses in th field of gas- liquid separations are envisaged for these membranes. A particularly promising application is in the field of membrane contactors, equipments in which membranes are used to improve mass transfer coefficients in respect to traditional extraction and absorption processes. Gas permeation properties have been evaluated for asymmetric membranes and composite symmetric ones. Experimental permselectivity values, obtained at different pressure differences, to various single gases are reported in Tab. 1, 2 and 3. Experimental data have been compared with literature data obtained with membranes made with different amorphous perfluoropolymer systems, such as copolymers of Perfluoro2, 2dimethyl dioxole (PDD) and Tetrafluorethylene, commercialized by the Du Pont Company with the trade name of Teflon AF. An interesting linear relationship between permeability and the glass transition temperature of the polymer constituting the membrane has been observed. Results are descussed in terms of polymer chain structure, which affects the presence of voids at molecular scale and their size distribution. Molecular Dyanmics studies are in progress in order to support the understanding of these results. A modified Theodoru- Suter method provided by the Amorphous Cell module of InsightII/Discover was used to determine the chain packing. A completely amorphous polymer box of about 3.5 nm was considered. Last but not least the use of amorphous perfluoropolymer membranes appears to be ideal when separation processes have to be performed in hostile environments, i.e. high temperatures and aggressive non-aqueous media, such as chemicals and solvents. In these cases Hyflon AD membranes can exploit the outstanding resistance of perfluoropolymers.

본 연구는 철기(Fe based) $Fe_{73.5}Si_{13.5}B_9Nb_3Cu_1$ 나노결정 합금의 분말코어(powder core)의 연자기적 특성 향상을 위한 기초연구로서, 절연 코팅제의 첨가량 및 분말입도에 따른 투자율, 코어손실 및 DC 바이어스 특성을 주로 조사하였다. 우선 합금조성을 PFC 장치를 이용하여 비정질 합금리본을 제조한 후, 열처리, 미분쇄 및 분급하여 얻어진 합금분말에 절연 코팅제(PEI)의 첨가량을 0.5, 1.0, 2.0, 2.5 wt%로 변화시켜 $16ton/cm^2$으로 압축성형 및 결정화 열처리하여 제조한 토로이달 나노결정 분말코어($OD12.7mm{\times}ID7.62mm{\times}H4.75mm$)는 절연 코팅제 함량이 증가할수록 투자율은 감소하였지만, 코어손실 및 DC 바이어스 특성은 향상됨을 확인하였다. 이러한 이유는 합금분말 절연 코팅제 첨가량이 증가할수록 비정질 합금분말 입자가 적어져 분말코어의 성형밀도가 낮아지기 때문으로 추정되었으며, 절연 코팅제의 함량은 1 wt%가 가장 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 절연 코팅제 함량을 1 wt%로 고정하고, 합금분말의 입도에 따라 제조한 분말코어의 경우, 실효투자율 및 코어손실은 입도가 클수록 우수하였지만, DC 바이어스 특성은 인가자장이 증가함에 따라 더욱 나빠짐을 확인하였다. 그 이유는 합금분말 표면의 코팅층 두께 차이에 의한 절연효과, 잔류기공 혹은 분말코어의 성형밀도 차이 등에 기인하는 것으로 추정되었다.

Graphene, as a single layer of $sp^2$-bonded carbon atoms packed into a 2D honeycomb crystal lattice, has attracted much attention due to its outstanding properties. In order to synthesize high quality graphene, transition metals, such as nickel and copper, have been widely employed as catalysts, which needs transfer to desired substrates for various applications. However, the transfer steps are not only complicated but also inevitably induce defects, impurities, wrinkles, and cracks of graphene. Furthermore, the direct synthesis of graphene on dielectric surfaces has still been a premature field for practical applications. Therefore, cost effective and concise methods for transfer-free graphene are essentially required for commercialization. Here, we report a facile transfer-free graphene synthesis method through nickel and carbon co-deposited layer. In order to fabricate 100 nm thick NiC layer on the top of $SiO_2/Si$ substrates, DC reactive magnetron sputtering was performed at a gas pressure of 2 mTorr with various Ar : $CH_4$ gas flow ratio and the 200 W DC input power was applied to a Ni target at room temperature. Then, the sample was annealed under 200 sccm Ar flow and pressure of 1 Torr at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 4 min employing a rapid thermal annealing (RTA) equipment. During the RTA process, the carbon atoms diffused through the NiC layer and deposited on both sides of the NiC layer to form graphene upon cooling. The remained NiC layer was removed by using a 0.5 M $FeCl_3$ aqueous solution, and graphene was then directly obtained on $SiO_2/Si$ without any transfer process. In order to confirm the quality of resulted graphene layer, Raman spectroscopy was implemented. Raman mapping revealed that the resulted graphene was at high quality with low degree of $sp^3$-type structural defects. Additionally, sheet resistance and transmittance of the produced graphene were analyzed by a four-point probe method and UV-vis spectroscopy, respectively. This facile non-transfer process would consequently facilitate the future graphene research and industrial applications.

최근 정부는 '저탄소 녹색성장 기본법'을 시행하여 국가 총체적 차원에서 에너지 절감, 온실가스 저감을 위한 노력을 기울이고 있다. 건물부문에서는 건물외피와 단열재의 열적 특성을 검토하여 건물 자체의 단열성능을 높임으로써 에너지를 절감할 수 있다. 이 연구는 건물부문의 에너지 절감을 목적으로 건물에 적용 가능한 경량기포 콘크리트 단열패널을 개발하기 위한 연구로서, 기포제 종류(AES, AOS, VS, FP)와 기포제 희석농도(1%, 3%, 5%), 기포율(30%, 50%, 70%)에 따른 기포 콘크리트의 물리·역학적 특성 및 열적 특성을 검토하여 에너지 절감을 위한 단열재로서의 최적조건을 찾고자 하였다. 실험 결과, 발포율에 영향을 미치는 기포제가 포함된 수용액의 표면장력은 AOS를 사용한 경우가 다른 기포제를 사용한 경우보다 낮게 나타났다. FP는 표면장력의 저하량이 크지 않고 발포율이 낮기 때문에 저농도로 희석한 경우 다량의 수분을 함유하고 있는 안정적이지 못한 기포가 생성되어 3% 이상 사용하여야만 비교적 안정적인 기포를 만드는 것이 가능하였다. 또한, 압축강도와 열전도율은 저밀도 영역에서는 기포제 종류에 따른 차이는 발생하지 않았으나, 상대적으로 고밀도영역에서 압축강도는 AOS와 FP, 열전도율은 VS와 FP가 더 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 또한, 기포농도와 기포율이 증가할수록 공극 크기는 커지며 열린공극을 형성하는 것으로 나타났으며 모든 기포제에 대한 열전도율은 KS기준을 만족하여 우수한 단열재로서의 가능성을 보였다. 종합적인 분석 결과, FP를 농도 3%로 사용하여 제조한 시험체가 건물에 적용시 기포 콘크리트 단열패널로서 가장 우수한 성능을 발현할 것으로 판단된다.
