The objectives of this study were to prepare PLGA film onto the surface of the capsular tension ring (CTR) for controlled drug release and investigate the influence of plasticizers, the test drug and measurement conditions on flexibility of the film. Film solutions were prepared by dissolving PLGA, plasticizer (triethyl citrate, TEC or polyethylene glycol, PEG), test drug (dexamethasone) in ethyl acetate then films were prepared by spray coating and evaporation method. Then, the flexibility of PLGA film was determined by elongation test. The addition of plasticizer, PEG or TEC to PLGA copolymer caused a depression of glass transition temperature ($T_g$) and the elasticity of PLGA films increased. The addition of dexamethasone to the PLGA/TEC matrix decreased the flexibility of film. Dimensional factors of the PLGA films such as width and thickness were significantly influenced on flexibility of films and film length and elongation speed had no considerable influence on elongation of films. In this study, sufficiently flexible and stable PLGA films capable of being coated onto CTR could be prepared. This PLGA films can be used as a platform for local drug delivery.

The effects of bond coat species on the growth behavior of thermally grown oxide (TGO) layer in thermal barrier coatings (TBCs) was investigated through furnace cyclic test (FCT). Two types of feedstock powder with different particle sizes and distributions, AMDRY 962 and AMDRY 386-4, were used to prepare the bond coat, and were formed using air plasma spray (APS) process. The top coat was prepared by APS process using zirconia based powder containing 8 wt% yttria. The thicknesses of the top and bond coats were designed and controlled at 800 and $200{\mu}m$, respectively. Phase analysis was conducted for TBC specimens with and without heat treatment. FCTs were performed for TBC specimens at $1121^{\circ}C$ with a dwell time of 25 h, followed by natural air cooling for 1 h at room temperature. TBC specimens with and without heat treatment showed sound conditions for the AMDRY 962 bond coat and AMDRY 386-4 bond coat in FCTs, respectively. The growth behavior of TGO layer followed a parabolic mode as the time increased in FCTs, independent of bond coat species. The influences of bond coat species and heat treatment on the microstructural evolution, interfacial stability, and TGO growth behavior in TBCs are discussed.

Transparent conductive films of single wall carbon nanotube (SWCNT) were prepared by spray coating method. The effect of acid treatment on the SWCNT films was investigated. The field emission scanning electron microscope (FESEM) shows that acid treatment can remove dispersing agent. The electrical and optical properties of acid-treated films were enhanced compared with those of as deposited SWCNT films. Nitric acid ($HNO_3$), sulfuric acid ($H_2SO_4$), nitric acid:sulfuric acid (3:1) were used for post treatment. Although all solutions reduced sheet resistance of CNT films, nitric acid can improve electrical characteristics efficiently. During acid treatment, transmittance was increased continuously with time. But the sheet resistance was decreased for the first 20 minutes and then increased again. Post-treated SWCNT films were transparent (85%) in the visible range with sheet resistance of about $162{\Omega}/sq$. In this paper we discuss simple fabrication, which is suitable for different types of large-scale substrates and simple processes to improve properties of SWCNT films.

고강도 콘크리트는 대형 사회기반 구조물로서 많이 활용되고 있다. 고강도 콘크리트는 우수한 재료적 성능과 내구성을 확보하고 있지만 반면에 화재에 대한 급작스러운 폭렬현상으로 인하여 구조적인 문제를 야기시키기도 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 콘크리트 피복두께에 추가하여 내화피복재를 사용함으로써 내화피복두께에 따른 콘크리트의 내화성능을 평가하고 최적의 내화피복두께를 산정하는 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 내화피복재를 10mm 간격으로 증가시키면서 실험을 수행한 결과 콘크리트의 내화성능이 크게 향상됨을 볼 수 있었으며, 최적의 내화피복두께는 약 1~3mm로 산정되었다. 또한 폭렬에 의하여 급작스러운 콘크리트 내부의 온도상승 이후 기화열에 의한 열손실로 완만하게 온도가 상승되는 현상이 실험적으로 관측되었다. PP 섬유는 약 $200^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 용해되어 고온에서는 빈 채널만 남게 되므로 내부 증기압을 저감시켜주는 역할도 관측되었다.

IMZ는 "intramobile cylinder implant system" (IMZ)로 독일에서 가장 오래되고 많이 사용되어진 임플란트 중 하나이다. 이 임플란트에 관한 장기적 성공률과 생존률에 대한 연구는 대개 80% 이상을 보고하고 있다. 그러나, 연세대학교 치과병원 치주과에서 식립된 83개의 임플란트에서는 이전의 연구와는 다른 결과를 나타내었다. 1. IMZ 임플란트의 생존률은 67.5% 였다. 2. 변연 치조골 소실에 대한 성공 기준을 적용한 결과 성공률은 49.4%로 나타났다. 3. 발거된 총 27개의 임플란트 중에서 임플란트 주위 골소실을 가지는 경우는 17개, 내부구조 파절은 4개, 식립체 파절은 5개로 보고되었다. 4. 10년 이상 생존된 임플란트에서 변연골 소실의 평균치는 2.82mm였다. IMZ 임플란트는 장기적으로 높은 실패율을 보고하였다. 이는 cylindrical design, titanium plasma flame spray coating, prosthodontic complication 등의 요소에 기인한 것으로 사료된다. 임플란트는 그 형태, 표면 처리 등 여러 가지 요인들에 의해 실패가 나타날 수 있으며 본 연구를 통해 임플란트의 개발 및 선택에 바탕이 될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.

The development of new concepts of liners is required in order to effectively neutralize the enemy's attack power concealed in the armored vehicles. A multiple-layer liner is one of possibilities and has a mechanism for explosion after penetrating the target which is known as "Behind Armor Effect." The multiple-layer explosive liner should have sufficient kinetic energy to penetrate the protective structure and explosive material react after target penetration. With this in mind, double-layer liner materials were obtained by cold spray coating methods and these material properties were experimentally characterized and used in this simulation for double-layer liners. In this study, numerical simulations in the three different layer types, i.e., single, A/B, A/B/A in terms of the layer location were verified in terms of finite element mesh sizes and numerical results for the jet tip velocity, kinetic energy, and the corresponding jet deformation characteristics were analysed in detail depending on the structure of layer types.

Carbon Fiber Reinforced Plastic(CFRP) composite with a higher specific strength and rigidity is more excellent than conventional metallic materials or other organic polymer of FRP. It has been widely used in vehicles, aerospaces and high technology industries which are associated with nuclear power fields. However, CFRP laminated composite has several disadvantages as like a delamination, matrix brittleness and anisotropic fibers that are the weak points of the crack initiation. In this present work, the reinforced silicon carbide(SiC) particles were added to the interlayer of CFRP laminates in order to mitigate the physical vulnerability affecting the cracking and breaking of the matrix in the CFRP laminated composite because of excellent specific strength and thermal shock resistance characteristics of SiC. The 1wt% of SiC particles were spread into the CFRP prepreg by using a spray coating method. After that, CFRP prepregs were laminated for the specimen. Also, the twill woven type CFRP prepreg was used because it has excellent workability. Thus the mechanical and fracture behaviors of the twill woven CFRP laminated composite reinforced with SiC particles were investigated with the acoustic emission(AE) method under a fracture test. The results show that the SiC particles enhance the mechanical and fracture characteristics of the twill CFRP laminate composite.

회전원판 위 표면에 작용하는 유동 전단응력은 표면마모를 발생시키는 주원인이다. 유체는 원심력에 의해 가장자리까지 자유표면을 갖는 박막유동으로 전달된다. 표면마모는 받음각 또는 곡률에 따른 전단응력 정도에 비례하여 차이를 보이게 된다. 전산해석을 통한 속도분포 기울기로 받음각에 기준한 곡률의 전단응력비를 비교하였다. 곡률반경 변화에 따른 전단유동의 응력감소를 모델링하여 표면마모를 효율적으로 줄일 수 있는 최적구간을 결정하는 것이 본 연구의 주제이며, 이 연구결과는 회전무화나 박막코팅과 같은 박막유동을 활용하는 기구의 최적설계에 적용될 수 있다.

In this study, the photocurrent characteristics of plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ coatings have been investigated according to additive transition metal (Fe, Mn, Nb powder) and heat treatment conditions. The plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ coatings by heat treatment at $400^{\circ}C$ and 90 min had the higher photocurrent at ultraviolet light, no photocurrent at visible light. The photocurrent of plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ coatings added by Fe, Mn, Nb (named by plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ composite coatings) was lower than that of plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ coatings at ultraviolet light, as was low in intensity ratio of XRD(101)/(110). and the atomic percentage of oxygen by plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ composite coatings was higher than that by plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ coatings. The photocurrent of plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ composite coatings in heat treatment at $400^{\circ}C$ and 90 min was higher than that of plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ coatings in same heat treatment conditions at ultraviolet and visible light, as was high in oxygen affinity by heat treatment.
