The simulation analysis about the mechanical behavior by thickness on the compression procedure of the bonded aluminum foam is carried out in this paper. The maximum equivalent stress is increased very rapidly at three models. This stress approaches the yielding point when the compressive displacement is proceeded as much as 6mm. After yielding point, this stress approaches the maximum point. A value of this stress is about 1.0MPa. The reaction force approaches the maximum point when the compressive displacement is proceeded as much as 6mm. These reaction forces are shown to be 3000N, 5000N, 7100N respectively at the specimen thicknesses of 15, 25 and 25 mm. The maximum deformation energy is abruptly increased from the displacement of 6 mm and the compressive energy in case of the specimen thickness of 15 mm is shown to highest among three specimens when the displacement is proceeded as much as 13 mm. The experiment with the case of specimen thickness of 25mm is carried out in order to verify these analysis results. The mechanical properties of the bonded structures composed of aluminum foams can be thought to be analyzed effectively.

This study aims at analyzing the property of the structural body bonded with alumimum foam by the utilization of the aluminum foam of closed type used generally with impact absorbent. The structural bodies bonded with the aluminum foam of DCB and TDCB are designed in this study, and then the fatigue analysis and experiment are carried out. At fatigue analysis, the maximum load happens at all of each specimen models when the fatigue life of 0 to 50 cycle is proceeded. And from the point of time that the maximum load happens, the load at the bonded surface is seen to be decreased in cases of analysis and experiment. As the specimen thickness is increased, the maximum load happened at specimen is increased. It is confirmed that the result of fatigue analysis becomes similar to that of fatigue experiment for verification. It is thought that the study data on various specimen thicknesses can be secured simply without the extra fatigue experimental procedure. By using this study result, the mechanical properties of the structural bodies bonded with the alumimum foams of DCB and TDCB with mode Ⅲ type can be thought to be analyzed effectively.

Because aluminum foam is porous material, the frature property is different from that of non-porous material. This aluminum foam can be used with the joint bonded with adhesive in order to utilize the light weight to the maximum. So, the study of fracture property on bonded surface can be important. In this study, the analyses on the specimens with two kinds of configuration as DCB(Double Cantilever Beams) and TDCB(Tapered Double Cantilever Beams) aluminum foams of mode Ⅲ type bonded with adhesive are carried out and compared with each other. And the fracture properties the adhesive surfaces of the structure with bonded aluminum foams are studied as the static experiments on these verifications are done. DCB and TDCB specimens used in this study have the variable of thickness(t) as 35mm, 45mm and 55mm. As the result of this study, the range of reaction forces are 0.3 to 0.8 kN and 0.5 to 1.2 kN at DCB and TDCB specimens respectively. The results of the static experiments can also be confirmed with these similar results. These study results can be obtained by only a simulation without the special experimental procedures. The mechanical properties of the bonded structures composed of DCB and TDCB aluminum foams with mode Ⅲ type can be thought to be analyzed effectively.

Polymer electrolyte membranes consisting of a PVP/AgCF3SO3/Al(NO3)3 complex were prepared for the separation of a propylene/propane mixture. In this study, the effect of Al(NO3)3 on inhibiting the reduction of silver ions generated from AgCF3SO3 was investigated, where AgCF3SO3 was used as a cost-effective alternative to AgBF4 in the facilitated olefin transport membranes. When Al(NO3)3 was incorporated into a PVP/AgCF3SO3 complex membrane, the selectivity of propylene/propane and mixed gas permeance showed 5 and 0.5GPU, respectively. Moreover, the PVP/AgCF3SO3/Al(NO3)3 complex membranes showed long-term stability although AgCF3SO3 is easily reduced to silver nanoparticles. It was thus proved that Al(NO3)3 played the role of a retardant for the reduction of silver ions generated from AgCF3SO3 as well as from AgBF4.

Graphene could be damaged and contain impurities on its surface while several fabrications such as deposition, etching, and patterning because one needs photoresist masking operation to divide the section for deposition or not. In this paper, we investigated the effectiveness of selective atomic layer deposition for clean graphene surface. Atomic layer deposition (ALD) has strong point at very uniform conformity of 1 rms roughness. In this process, H2O is generally used by one of precursors. This H2O precursor make deposition of ALD on hydrophilic surface not hydrophobic. Therefore, we used this property at graphene which has hydrophobic surface. And then, we analyzed selective deposition of ALD on graphene which are grown on Cu foil and transferred by wet process not cleaved from HOPG.

This study investigates the mechanical behavior at the compression of bonded aluminum foam. Four kinds of specimen thicknesses are 25, 50, 75 and 100mm. These aluminum foams are compressed with the speed of 5mm/min. The reaction forces in cases of 25, 50, 75 and 100mm are 2510, 5080, 7700 and 10400N respectively. The equivalent stresses are 0.96, 1.00, 1.02 and 1.03MPa respectively. These analysis results are verified by comparing with the experimental results. The results of this study can be contributed to the safe design of structure.

As a part of light weight, the adhesive has been applied to joint the mechanical structure. The porous material is used with aluminum foam in case of the structure bonded with only adhesive. In order to confirm the durability, it is necessary to investigate the fracture toughness at the bonded joint. So, the fracture property at joint interface of aluminum foam different from the non-porous material becomes especially important. In this study, the static facture analysis was carried out with DCB specimen bonded with adhesive as the loading type of mode Ⅲ. The thicknesses of specimens are 35, 45 and 55 mm. When the forced displacements 5 mm applied on the specimen proceed at specimen thicknesses of 35, 45 and 55 mm, the maximum stresses is shown to be happened at the range from 3.3 MPa to 3.6 MPa. The maximum equivalent stress happened at the specimen thickness of 35mm becomes highest among four kinds of specimens. The static experiment is carried on in order to verify these analyses representatively. As the experimental data become similar with the simulation data, it is thought that these analysis data can be applied at analyzing them into the adhesive joint of real porous material.

The mechanical properties and microstructures of Aluminum 6056 alloys were investigated for their use in the fabrication of a piton block. The EN-AW6056 alloys exhibited a tensile strength of 375 MPa for a solution treatment temperature of 550 oC for 2 h followed by an aging treatment at 190 oC for 4 h. The microstructures of the heat treated specimen showed that the Mg2Si phase with a size of 3~5 um was dispersed throughout the aluminum matrix when the heat treatment was done. Moreover, in order to identify the forgeability of the specimen, upsetting tests were done. For up to 80 % of the upsetting ratio, the specimen maintained its original shape, and at above 80 % of the upsetting ratio, the specimen underwent crack development. The specimen was successfully forged without any defects with the examined material conditions. The material conditions together with the forging conditions are discussed in terms of the microstructures and mechanical properties.

As the property of the aluminum foam with porosity, the effect of impact is distributed through the distortion of each lattice like honeycomb at impact. So, this porous aluminum foam is widely used at the crash box or the impact absorber guard rail to prevent the damage. In addition, there is a property of low weight by the chemical bonding using the adhesive. As this study investigates the distortion property of the aluminum foam bonded with adhesive, the fracture property and the stress distribution of the bonded interface are examined. The specimen thicknesses are 25, 35, 45, 55 and 65 mm. And the torsional moments corresponding to 100, 200 and 300 J are applied at one side of bonded aluminum foam. The mechanical behaviors at the bonded interface and the fixed part are also investigated. It can be seen that the minimum specimen thickness must become 55 mm and over in order to maintain the bonding force due to the applied impact energy. The analysis result of this study at the bonded interface effected on impact can be effectively applied into the safe design of the structure with the bonded aluminum foam.

An aluminum foam is the super light metal which can be adjusted with the adhesive by using the joint method. In this study, the tapered double cantilever beams(TDCB) with the type of mode Ⅲ are manufactured with aluminum foam. The fracture toughness at the joint of the structure bonded with only a adhesive can be obtained. The static analyses are carried out and verified the results by the experiment. As the results of static analyses, the reaction forces ranged from 0.30 to 0.41 kN at all specimens are shown when the forced displacements are proceeded as much as 8 to 9 mm. The tapered double cantilever specimen for mode Ⅲ with the thickness of 55 mm is carried out by the static experiment representatively to verify the analysis results. As the results of analyses and experiments are compared with each other, there is a little bit of difference between these results. So, the simulation results of this study can be thought to be confirmed. It is thought that even the only analysis data omitting the extra experimental procedure can be verified in order to use the data practically. Through the result of this study, the mechanical properties at TDCB specimens with the type of mode Ⅲ can be understood.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of Korean Lycii fructus water extract in Al (Aluminum) administered rats. Forty-eight male Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into six groups: Control group, water extract group with 3% Lycii fructus, 1000 and 2000 ppm of Al groups, and 1000 and 2000 ppm of Al with 3% Lycii fructus water extract group. The Al content of rat tissue in the Al administered group was lower than that in rat tissue in the Al with 3% Lycii fructus water extract group. Plasma levels of renin and aldosterone activity was higher in the Al administration group, compared with the 3% Lycii fructus water extract group and Al administered group. Aspartate amino transaminase and alanine amino transaminase activities were elevated in the Al administered group and lower in the 3% Lycii fructus water extract group. Lactate dehydrogenase was lower in the 3% Lycii fructus water extract Al group than in the Al group. Choline acetyltransferase was higher in the 3% Lycii fructus water extract Al group than in the Al group.

Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) has been widely used for the development and fabrication of nano-powder with various morphologies such as particle, wire, rod, and tube. So far, many researchers have reported about shape control and fabrication of AAO films. However, they have reported on the shape control with different diameter and length of anodic aluminum oxide mainly. We present a combined mild-hard (or hard-mild) anodization to prepare shape-controlled AAO films. Two main parameters which are combination mild-hard (or hard-mild) anodization and run-time of voltage control are applied in this work. The voltages of mild and hard anodization are respectively 40 and 80 V. Anodization was conducted on the aluminum sheet in 0.3 mole oxalic acid at 4oC. AAO films with morphologies of varying interpore distance, branch-shaped pore, diameter-modulated pore and long funnel-shaped pore were fabricated. Those shapes will be able to apply to fabricate novel nano-materials with potential application which is especially a support to prevent volume expansion of inserted active materials, such as metal silicon or tin powder, in lithium ion battery. The silicon powder electrode using an AAO as a support shows outstanding cycle performance as 1003 mAh/g up to 200 cycles.

As aluminum foam has the most superior absorption of impact energy, this material has been used at automobile and airplane. If aluminum foam is used by jointing bolt and nut, it can be broken. Therefore, it is more effective to bond aluminum foam and other materials by adhesive. In this study, the fatigue fracture simulation through ANSYS program is carried out on the aluminum foam specimen bonded with adhesive as the type of DCB Mode Ⅲ. There are four kinds of specimens with the types of DCB Mode Ⅲ in this study. The thicknesses of four specimens are 35mm, 45mm, 55mm and 65mm. In cases of specimen thicknesses of 35mm, 45mm, 55mm and 65mm, the maximum loads are shown as ±0.2kN, ±0.55kN, ±1kN and ±1.2kN respectively. As the specimen thickness increases, the maximum loads increase. The results of fatigue experiment as specimen thickness of 55mm can be shown to approach the simulation results by confirming the simulation results of this study. So, The simulation data can be applied in order to investigate the mechanical property at DCB specimen with the type of Mode Ⅲ.

High temperature plasma coating technology has been applied to recover damaged aluminum dies from wear by spraying pure aluminum and alumina powder. However, the coated mixed powder layer composed of aluminum and alumina often undergoes a detachment from the substrate, making the coated substrate die unable to maintain its expected life span. In this study, in order to increase the bonding strength between the substrate and the coating layer, a pure aluminum layer was applied as an intermediate bond layer. In order to prepare the specimen with variable bond coating conditions, the bond coat layers with a various gun speed from 10 cm/sec to 30 cm/sec were prepared with coating cycle variations ranging from three to nine cycles. The specimen with a bond coat layer coated with a gun speed of 20 cm/sec and three coating cycles exhibited ~13MPa of adhesion strength, while the specimen without a bond coat layer showed ~6 MPa of adhesion strength. The adhesion strength with a variation of bond coat layer thickness is discussed in terms of coating parameters.
