유기용매 나노여과(OSN, organic solvent nanofiltration) 분리막은 폴리이마이드(PI)나 폴리벤질이미디아졸(PBI)과 같은 특수 고분자의 개발, 상업화가 이루어지고 강한 유기용매에 견딜 수 있도록 가교를 통해 분리막의 내구성이 급격하게 향상되면서 저분자량의 합성, 정제 및 농축을 필요로하는 의약, 바이오, 식품산업에 획기적이고 효율적인 분리막 공정으로 주목 받고 있다. 하지만 여전히 고가의 고분자, 가교를 위한 복잡한 프로세스, 다량의 강한 용매 폐수 발생등 상업화를 이루는데 여러 가지 문제점들이 산재하고 있다. 본 연구는 기존 제막 방식에서 벗어나 무독성의 용제를 사용하여 단일공정으로 유기용매 나노여과 분리막을 제막하고 그 특성을 연구하였다.

This study was conducted to investigate quality characteristics of red bean gochujang prepared with different ratios of meju for eight weeks. We determined quality characteristics such as pH, moisture content, total microbial flora counts, amino-type nitrogen content, total polypenol content, and antioxidant activity. The pH decreased by fermentation period, whereas total acidity was 0.36~0.39% in the early stage of fermentation, 0.63~1.16% at four weeks of fermentation, and decreased to 0.43~0.65% after the eighth week of fermentation. Moisture content of the control (no red bean, no rice) decreased 62.13% to 50.93%, but in case of the treatment, it slightly decreased. Total cell counts revealed similar tendency at the beginning of fermentation, and at eight weeks of fermentation. In case of lactic acid bacteria, all samples except RB-1.5 (gochujang added meju made of mixing ratio of rice:soybean:red bean (1:2:1.5) slightly increased. Amino nitrogen and total polyphenol of all samples increased in the fermentation period, especially RB-1.5 sample had the highest levels than other samples. By increasing the amount of red bean, DPPH radical scavenging activities increased. In taste sensing analysis, all treat samples except RB-1.5 revealed lower sourness than the control. Also, in case of bitterness, all samples revealed low content than the control. So, by adding red bean, it can enhance taste and function of gochujang.

To study the effects of graphite shape and the composite fabricating method on the mechanical properties of graphite/copper (Gr/Cu) composites, a copper composite using graphite flakes or graphite granules as reinforcing phases is fabricated using mechanical mixing or electroless plating method. The mechanical properties of the Gr/Cu composites are evaluated by compression tests, and the compressive strength and elongation of the Gr/Cu composites using graphite granules as a reinforcing phase are compared with those of Cu composites with graphite flakes as a reinforcing phase. The compressive yield strength or maximum strength of the Gr/Cu composites with graphite granules as a reinforcing phase is higher than that of the composites using graphite flakes as a reinforcing phase regardless of the alignment of graphite. The strength of the composite produced by the electroless plating method is higher than that of the composite material produced by the conventional mechanical mixing method regardless of the shape of the graphite. Using graphite granules as a reinforcing phase instead of graphite flakes improves the strength and elongation of the Gr/Cu composites in all directions, and reduces the difference in strength or elongation according to the direction.

ZnO micro/nanocrystals are formed by a vapor transport method. Mixtures of ZnO and TiO powders are used as the source materials. The TiO powder acts as a reducing agent to reduce the ZnO to Zn and plays an important role in the formation of ZnO micro/nanocrystals. The vapor transport process is carried out in air at atmospheric pressure. When the weight ratios of TiO to ZnO in the source material are lower than 1:2, no ZnO micro/nanocrystals are formed. However, when the ratios of TiO to ZnO in the source material are greater than 1:1, the ZnO crystals with one-dimensional wire morphology are formed. In the room temperature cathodoluminescence spectra of all the products, a strong ultraviolet emission centered at 380 nm is observed. As the ratio of TiO to ZnO in the source material increases from 1:2 to 1:1, the intensity ratio of ultraviolet to visible emission increases, suggesting that the crystallinity of the ZnO crystals is improved. Only the ultraviolet emission is observed for the ZnO crystals prepared using the source material with a TiO/ZnO ratio of 2:1.

Porous metals demonstrate not only excessively low densities, but also novel physical, thermal, mechanical, electrical, and acoustic properties. Thus, porous metals exhibit exceptional performance, which are useful for diesel particulate filters, heat exchangers, and noise absorbers. In this study, SUS316L foam with 90% porosity and 3,000 μm pore size is successfully manufactured using the electrostatic powder coating (ESPC) process. The mean size of SUS316L powders is approximately 12.33 μm. The pore properties are evaluated using SEM and Archimedes. As the quantity of powder coating increases, pore size decreases from 2,881 to 1,356 μm. Moreover, the strut thickness and apparent density increase from 423.7 to 898.3 μm and from 0.278 to 0.840 g/cm3, respectively. It demonstrates that pore properties of SUS316L powder porous metal are controllable by template type and quantity of powder coating.

This study investigates the microstructure and wear properties of cermet (ceramic + metal) coating materials manufactured using high velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) process. Three types of HVOF coating layers are formed by depositing WC-12Co, WC-20Cr-7Ni, and Cr3C2-20NiCr (wt.%) powders on S45C steel substrate. The porosities of the coating layers are 1 ± 0.5% for all three specimens. Microstructural analysis confirms the formation of second carbide phases of W2C, Co6W6C, and Cr7C3 owing to decarburizing of WC phases on WC-based coating layers. In the case of WC-12Co coating, which has a high ratio of W2C phase with high brittleness, the interface property between the carbide and the metal binder slightly decreases. In the Cr3C2-20CrNi coating layer, decarburizing almost does not occur, but fine cavities exist between the splats. The wear loss occurs in the descending order of Cr3C2-20NiCr, WC-12Co, and WC-20Cr-7Ni, where WC-20Cr-7Ni achieves the highest wear resistance property. It can be inferred that the ratio of the carbide and the binding properties between carbide–binder and binder–binder in a cermet coating material manufactured with HVOF as the primary factors determine the wear properties of the cermet coating material.

Molybdenum silicide has gained interest for high temperature structural applications. However, poor fracture toughness at room temperatures and low creep resistance at elevated temperatures have hindered its practical applications. This study uses a novel powder metallurgical approach applied to uniformly mixed molybdenum silicidebased composites with silicon carbide. The degree of powder mixing with different ball milling time is also demonstrated by Voronoi diagrams. Core-shell composite powder with Mo nanoparticles as the shell and β-SiC as the core is prepared via chemical vapor transport. Using this prepared core-shell composite powder, the molybdenum silicide-based composites with uniformly dispersed β-SiC are fabricated using pressureless sintering. The relative density of the specimens sintered at 1500oC for 10 h is 97.1%, which is similar to pressure sintering owing to improved sinterability using Mo nanoparticles.

Metallic tantalum powder is manufactured by reducing tantalum oxide (Ta2O5) with magnesium gas at 1,073–1,223 K in a reactor under argon gas. The high thermodynamic stability of magnesium oxide makes the reduction reaction from tantalum oxide into tantalum powder possible. The microstructure after the reduction reaction has the form of a mixture of tantalum and magnesium oxide, and the latter could be entirely eliminated by dissolving in weak hydrochloric acid. The powder size in SEM microstructure for the tantalum powder increases after acid leaching in the range of 50–300 nm, and its internal crystallite sizes are observed to be 11.5 to 24.7 nm with increasing reduction temperatures. Moreover, the optimized reduction temperature is found to be 1,173 K as the minimum oxygen concentration is approximately 1.3 wt.%.

Nanoparticles of PbTe are prepared via chemical reaction of the equimolar aqueous solutions of Pb(CH3COO)2 and Te at 120°C. The size of the obtained particles is 100 nm after calcination in a hydrogen atmosphere. Dense specimens for the thermoelectric characterization are produced by spark plasma sintering of prepared powders at 400°C to 500°C under 80 MPa for 5 min. The relative densities of the prepared specimens reach approximately 97% and are identified as cubic based on X-ray diffraction analyses. The thermoelectric properties are evaluated between 100°C and 300°C via electrical conductivity, Seebeck coefficient, and thermal conductivity. Compared with PbTe ingot, the reduction of the thermal conductivities by more than 30% is verified via phonon scattering at the grain boundaries, which thus contributes to the increase in the figure of merit.

본 연구에서는 polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) 중공사막을 지지체로 한 저압용 나노복합막을 제조하였다. Poly styrene sulfonic acid (PSSA)와 polyethyleneimine (PEI)을 layer-by-layer 및 염석 효과 방식으로 지지체막에 코팅하였다. 막의 투과도와 염 배제율 성능을 알아보고자 NaCl, MgCl2, CaSO4 100 mg/L수용액을 1 L/min의 유량으로, 2 bar의 압력을 상온에서 가해주었다. 20,000 ppm의 PSSA (이온세기 1.0)용액에 3분, 30,000 ppm (이온세기 0.1)용액에 1분 코팅한 막이 가장 우수하였다. 투과도와 염 배제율은 NaCl 공급액에서는 38.5 LMH, 57.1%, MgCl2는 37.9 LMH, 90.2%, CaSO4는 32.4 LMH, 54.6%로 각각 측정되었다.

본 연구에서는 바늘형 종결정 코팅 양을 조절함으로써 결정학적으로 b-축 그리고 c-축으로 배향된 모데나이트 (MOR) 제올라이트 분리막을 제조하고 결정학적 배향이 투과증발 에탄올 탈수 거동에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. c-축으로 배향된 종결정의 코팅 양이 증가할수록 b-축에서 c-축으로 배향된 분리막이 얻어졌고 이는 진화론적 성장으로 설명되었다. b- 축 방향으로 배향된 분리막의 경우 1000 이상의 높은 선택도와 0.2 kg/m2h의 총 투과도를 나타내었으며 c-축 배향된 분리막 보다 우수한 분리성능을 나타내었다. 이는 물의 운동역학적 직경이 b-축 방향으로 단일 존재하는 8R 기공채널의 직경에 비하여 작기 때문에 물의 이동이 방해되지 않는 반면 에탄올은 상대적으로 방해받기 때문으로 설명되었다. 따라서 본 연구로부터 바늘형 종결정 코팅 양을 조절함으로써 모데나이트 분리층의 결정학적 배향을 조절할 수 있었고, b-축으로 배향된 모데나이트 분리막이 보다 우수한 투과증발 에탄올 탈수 거동을 보임을 확인할 수 있었다.

First Mover Advantage is already well known. It is when a company gains a position in a certain market or industry, or when it establishes a strong entry barriers through a distribution channel or a monopoly of resources. It is a concept that has been attracting attention for a long time in marketing and strategy. However, although it is possible for the starter to enjoy these various benefits, it is also true that there is a corresponding price. Therefore, the risks and costs that the starter may bear, and thus the relative benefits enjoyed by the latter, can be significant. Late Mover Advantage and so on. The fact that latecomers can enjoy a variety of benefits as well as the profits of the starters is an important consideration that must be taken into account by many companies considering entry into the market. In general, there is a very high risk of overinvestment in technology and market uncertainty. For example, China has skipped wired networks and went wireless, and many African countries have skipped wired communications and built infrastructure for wireless communications. In other words, companies that hastened to invest in fixed-line facilities in order to preoccupy the African telecom market are in a state of failure rather than expecting the interests of the starters. Another thing is that the starter has to bear more risks and costs than the latter, such as the uncertainty of demand, the risk of changing consumer preferences, and the cost of training new consumers. Also, because imitation is generally less costly than development, a latecomer entering through imitation may be in a better position if patents or other technical defenses are not available. Especially, if latecomers have excellent management ability and financial power such as excellent marketing ability, it is relatively easy to catch up with the first candidate.

현대인의 눈높이에 맞는 친환경적인 고급품질의 인조진주 제품개발이 세계의 악세사리 및 생활용품 시장에서 요구되고 있다. 본 연구는 고품질의 인조진주 제품을 경제적으로 대량생산하기 위한 방법으로 유기안료를 인조진주 제조용 친환경 무기안료로 대체하고 기존 제조 방식에서 사용하는 주재료였던 니트로셀룰로오스를 우레탄 바인더로 대체하여 광택도가 73.4%에서 86.7%로 증가하였으며 CVD 마감처리 후에는 96%의 높은 광택도를 가졌다. 색차분석 결과 CVD 코팅으로 인하여 빛의 간섭효과 때문에 a*와 b*값이 각각 +37.7에서 +31.9로, +24.5에서 +14.2로 감소하면서 다양한 색을 발현하여 영롱한 빛깔의 인조진주가 제조되었다. 마감 증착된 고품질의 인조진주의 내화학성, 광택도, 색차계, 표면 거칠기, 내마모성, 중금속함량검사, 염수분무테스트 등을 분석하여 품질향상 및 인체 무해성을 확인하였다.

W-10 wt% Ti alloys that have a homogeneous microstructure are prepared by thermal decomposition of WO3-TiH2 powder mixtures and spark plasma sintering. The reduction and dehydrogenation behavior of WO3 and TiH2 are analyzed by temperature programmed reduction and a thermogravimetric method, respectively. The X-ray diffraction analysis of the powder mixture, heat-treated in an argon atmosphere, shows W- oxides and TiO2 peaks. Conversely, the powder mixtures heated in a hydrogen atmosphere are composed of W, WO2 and TiO2 phases at 600 ℃ and W and W-rich β phases at 800 ℃. The densified specimen by spark plasma sintering at 1500 ℃ in a vacuum using hydrogen-reduced WO3-TiH2 powder mixtures shows a Vickers hardness value of 4.6 GPa and a homogeneous microstructure with pure W, β and Ti phases. The phase evolution dependent on the atmosphere and temperature is explained by the thermal decomposition and reaction behavior of WO3 and TiH2.

Cement production processes release various odor elements including acetaldehyde, hydrogen sulfide, formaldehyde and toluene etc. A three-dimensional numerical simulation using a commercial code of Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) was used to estimate the concentration profiles and dispersion distance around the local residential area. The calcination furnace, one of the main emission sources in the cement manufacturing process, discharged the odorous gases of H₂S, HCHO, CH₃CHO and C6H5CH₃at levels of up to 3.15 ppb, 5.1 ppm, 6.65 ppm and 0.74 ppm of H₂S, HCHO, CH₃CHO and C6H5CH₃respectively. This study found that as for the emission concentration of 1ppm for H₂S and CH₃CHO, the landing distance of the threshold value for each gas was extended in summer seasons at a low velocity. Low temperature of the flue gas at a high velocity also led to long dispersion.
