For the purpose of manufacturing a high efficiency TiO2 photocatalyst, B-doped TiO2 photocatalysts are synthesized using a plasma electrolytic oxidation method in 0.5 M H2SO4 electrolyte with different concentrations of H3BO3 as additive. For the B doped TiO2 layer fabricated from sulfuric electrolyte having a higher concentration of H3BO3 additive, the main XRD peaks of (101) and (200) anatase phase shift gradually toward the lower angle direction, indicating volume expansion of the TiO2 anatase lattice by incorporation of boron, when compared with TiO2 layers formed in sulfuric acid with lower concentration of additive. Moreover, XPS results indicate that the center of the binding energy peak of B1s increases from 191.45 eV to 191.98 eV, which suggests that most of boron atoms are doped interstitially in the TiO2 layer rather than substitutionally. The B doped TiO2 catalyst fabricated in sulfuric electrolyte with 1.0 M H3BO3 exhibits enhanced photocurrent response, and high efficiency and rate constant for dye degradation, which is ascribed to the synergistic effect of the new impurity energy band induced by introducing boron to the interstitial site and the improvement of charge transfer reaction.

In this study, vin chaud were manufactured with eight types of vin chaud-bomb containing different amounts of ingredients, and Campbell Early wine. Samples were analyzed for pH, total acidity, volatile acidity, ethanol content, total polyphenol, and anthocyanins, and radical scavenging activities for antioxidant effect. Based on the results of this study the pH of the samples ranged from 3.34 to 3.41 and the total acidity of wines ranged from 0.55 to 1.00%. The alcohol contents of the vin chaud samples ranged from 3.8~5.8% to and the color intensity of the vin chaud samples was higher than that of the wine. Total polyphenol content was 145.90~262.98 mg% and the tannin content of the C-1 (236.90 mg%) was the highest among the samples. The ABTS and DPPH radical scavenging activity of the samples were 57.39~75.10% and 63.71~80.00% respectively. α-Glucosidase inhibitory activity ranged from 21.54 to 33.49%, on the other hand, wine was not detected and tyrosinase inhibitory activity had the highest values (39.26%) in the C-1 sample. The findings of the present study provide insightful scientific information on vin chaud, and forms a basis for further innovations in the food and wine industry.

Here, we report the development of a new and low-cost core-shell structure for lithium-ion battery anodes using silicon waste sludge and the Ti-ion complex. X-ray diffraction (XRD) confirmed the raw waste silicon sludge powder to be pure silicon without other metal impurities and the particle size distribution is measured to be from 200 nm to 3 μm by dynamic light scattering (DLS). As a result of pulverization by a planetary mill, the size of the single crystal according to the Scherrer formula is calculated to be 12.1 nm, but the average particle size of the agglomerate is measured to be 123.6 nm. A Si/TiO2 core-shell structure is formed using simple Ti complex ions, and the ratio of TiO2 peaks increased with an increase in the amount of Ti ions. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations revealed that TiO2 coating on Si nanoparticles results in a Si-TiO2 core-shell structure. This result is expected to improve the stability and cycle of lithium-ion batteries as anodes.

In the present work, Inconel 718 alloy is additively manufactured on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy, and a functionally graded material is built between Inconel 718 and Ti-6Al-4V alloys. The vanadium interlayer is applied to prevent the formation of detrimental intermetallic compounds between Ti-6Al-4V and Inconel 718 by direct joining. The additive manufacturing of Inconel 718 alloy is performed by changing the laser power and scan speed. The microstructures of the joint interface are characterized by scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and micro X-ray diffraction. Additive manufacturing is successfully performed by changing the energy input. The micro Vickers hardness of the additive manufactured Inconel 718 dramatically increased owing to the presence of the Cr-oxide phase, which is formed by the difference in energy input.

Ti-6Al-4V alloy has a wide range of applications, ranging from turbine blades that require smooth surfaces for aerodynamic purposes to biomedical implants, where a certain surface roughness promotes biomedical compatibility. Therefore, it would be advantageous if the high volumetric density is maintained while controlling the surface roughness during the LPBF of Ti-6Al-4V. In this study, the volumetric energy density is varied by independently changing the laser power and scan speed to document the changes in the relative sample density and surface roughness. The results where the energy density is similar but the process parameters are different are compared. For comparable energy density but higher laser power and scan speed, the relative density remained similar at approximately 99%. However, the surface roughness varies, and the maximum increase rate is approximately 172%. To investigate the cause of the increased surface roughness, a nonlinear finite element heat transfer analysis is performed to compare the maximum temperature, cooling rate, and lifetime of the melt pool with different process parameters.

Oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) steel has excellent high-temperature properties, corrosion resistance, and oxidation resistance, and is expected to be applicable in various fields. Recently, various studies on mechanical alloying (MA) have been conducted for the dispersion of oxide particles in ODS steel with a high number density. In this study, ODS steel is manufactured by introducing a complex milling process in which planetary ball milling, cryogenic ball milling, and drum ball milling are sequentially performed, and the microstructure and high-temperature mechanical properties of the ODS steel are investigated. The microstructure observation revealed that the structure is stretched in the extrusion direction, even after the heat treatment. In addition, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis confirmed the presence of oxide particles in the range of 5 to 10 nm. As a result of the room-temperature and high-temperature compression tests, the yield strengths were measured as 1430, 1388, 418, and 163 MPa at 25, 500, 700, and 900oC, respectively. Based on these results, the correlation between the microstructure and mechanical properties of ODS steel manufactured using the composite milling process is also discussed.

Zirconia has excellent mechanical properties, such as high fracture toughness, wear resistance, and flexural strength, which make it a candidate for application in bead mills as milling media as well as a variety of components. In addition, enhanced mechanical properties can be attained by adding oxide or non-oxide dispersing particles to zirconia ceramics. In this study, the densification and mechanical properties of YSZ-TiC ceramic composites with different TiC contents and sintering temperatures are investigated. YSZ - x vol.% TiC (x=10, 20, 30) system is selected as compositions of interest. The mixed powders are sintered using hot pressing (HP) at different temperatures of 1300, 1400, and 1500oC. The densification behavior and mechanical properties of sintered ceramics, such as hardness and fracture toughness, are examined.

본 연구에서는 유기용매에 저항성이 뛰어난 소재인 polyketone 고분자를 사용하여 열유도 상분리법(TIPS)으로 유기용매 저항성 중공사 분리막을 제조하였다. 희석제는 green solvent로 알려진 PEG300, DMSO2, glycerine을 사용하였으며, 이때 사용된 diluent에 따라 나타나는 구정형 구조를 가지는 고-액 상분리와 bicontinuous한 구조를 가지는 액-액 상분리를 관 찰하였다. 전반적인 분리막의 특성은 SEM, 수투과도, 기계적 강도, 내화학실험을 사용하여 고찰하였으며, 본 연구에서는 다양한 희석제가 적용된 polyketone 중공사 분리막의 제조와 그 상호관계에 대해 심도 있게 연구하였다.

본 실험은 계란피단을 제조할 때 파란율이 적은 도포법의 장점과 생산 속도가 빠른 침지법의 장점을 동시에 획득할 수 있는 피단의 새로운 생산방법으로 종이로 감싼 후 폴리비닐로 포장하여 침지액을 첨가한 후 포장하는 방법을 착안하여, 제조기간의 단축과 알카리 용액의 사용량 감소 및 파란율 저하 가능성을 확인함으로써 계란피단 생산을 위한 기초자료를 제시하고자 수행하였다. 대조구는 계란의 총 중량과 동량의 용액을 NaOH 5%, NaCl 7%의 농도로 제조하여 침지 하였으며, 포장법은 킴테크 티슈 두장으로 감싼 계란에 25ml의 침지액을 주입하였다(T1: NaOH 3%, NaCl 5% T2: NaOH 4%, NaCl 6%, T3: NaOH 5%, NaCl 7%). pH는 난백과 난황에서 침지기간이 경과에 따라 유의적으로 증가하였다 (p<0.05). 농도가 높을수록 유의적 차이가 적었으며, 난황에서는 침지법으로 침지한 대조구가 가장 높았다. 난중량 변화는 침지기간이 경과함에　 따라 증가하여(p<0.05), 16일차에 가장 높게 나타났다. 침지법이 포장법보다 난중량이 크게 증가하였고, 침지액의 농도는 난중량 변화에 영향을 미치지 않았다. Hunter color는 난백의 경우 처리구들의 L*은 차이를 나타내지 않았고, a*와 b*는 침지기간의 경과에 따라 유의적으로 증가하여 (p<0.05), 16일차에 가장 높았다. 난황의 경우 모든 처리구들의 L*, a*과 b*는 침지기간이 경과함에 따라 유의적으로 감소하였다(p<0.05). TBARS 는 제조방법과 침지용액의 농도에 따른 유의적 차이는 나타나지 않았다. VBN은 난백, 난황 모두 침지기간이 경과함에 따라 증가하였으며(p<0.05), 침지액의 농도와 비례하여 높았다. 파란율은 대조구가 처리구보다 높았으며, 침지기간의 경과와 침지액 농도의 차이는 파란율에 영향주지 않았다. 대조구와 T3구는 제조기간과 완성도에서는 유사한 결과를 나타내었고, 저장성도 큰 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 침지포장 실험구들은 농도의 증가에 따라서 약간의 침투 효과 차이는 나타났으나, 대조구와 비교하여 파란율을 현격하게 낮출 수 있었다. 따라서, 알카리성의 침지액 사용량을 절반이하로 줄일 수 있고, 파란율을 낮출 수 있는 포장방법이 더 효율적인 피단의 제조방법으로 이용될 수 있다고 판단된다.
