In order to provide basic data for preparing management standards and to verify the safety of the Chinese oak mushroom-derived moisturizing medium—which is synthesized and imported in large quantities—the presence of 321 residual pesticides, 7 heavy metals, and 3 radioactive materials was analyzed in the moisturizer samples. Examination of residual pesticides in seven moisturizing medium samples prepared using the Chinese oak mushroom and three domestic sawdust samples used for mushroom culture revealed the presence of cypermethrin and iprodione in three moisturizer samples, but the contents of these pesticides were below the standard limits. Zn was detected in ten samples, Cu was detected in nine samples, and Ni was detected in four samples, but their contents were below the standard limits. Pb, Cd, Cr, and Hg were not detected in any sample. No radioactive materials were detected in the samples. In addition, fruiting bodies of the oak mushroom were observed in each medium. Examination did not reveal the presence of any residual pesticides or harmful compounds. In this study, the use of the moisturizing medium prepared using the Chinese oak mushroom was found to be safe. As residual pesticides, heavy metals, and radioactivity—even in trace amounts—remain concentrated in the human body, continuous verification of the safety of hazardous substances and pollutants during the systematic cultivation and management of these mushrooms is required.

Silicon oxide (SiOx) has been considered one of the most promising anode materials for lithium-ion batteries due to having a higher capacity than the commercial graphite anodes. However, its practical application is hampered by very large volume variations. In this work, pyrolysis fuel oil is the carbon coating precursor, and physical vapor deposition (PVD) is performed on SiOx at 200 and 400 °C (SiOx@C 200 and SiOx@C 400), followed by carbonization at 950 °C. SiOx@C 200 has a carbon coating layer with a thickness of ~ 20 nm and an amorphous structure, while that of SiOx@C 400 is approximately 10 nm thick and has a more semigraphitic structure. The carbon-coated SiOx anodes display better charge–discharge performance than the pristine SiOx anode. In particular, SiOx@C 200 shows the highest reversible capacity compared with the other samples at high C-rates (2.0 and 5.0 C). Moreover, SiOx@C 200 exhibits excellent cycling stability with a capacity retention of 90.2% after 80 cycles at 1.0 C. This result is ascribed to the suppressed volume expansion by the PFO carbon coating on SiOx after PVD.

Molybdenum is used in electrical contacts, industrial motors, and transportation materials due to its remarkable ability to resist heat and corrosion. It is also used to flame coat other metals. This study investigated, the thermal characteristics of the molybdenum sputtered material, such as electrical conductivity, and stealth effects on infrared thermal imaging cameras. To this end, molybdenum sputtered samples were prepared by varying the density of the base sample and the type of base materials used. Thereafter, the produced samples were evaluated for their surface state, electrical conductivity, electromagnetic field characteristics, thermal characteristics, stealth effect on infrared thermal imaging cameras, and moisture characteristics. As a result of infrared thermal imaging, the molybdenum layer was directed towards the outside air, and when the sample was a film, it demonstrated a greater stealth effect than the fabric. When the molybdenum layer was directed to the outside air, all of the molybdenum sputtering-treated samples exhibited a lower surface temperature than the “untreated sample.” In addition, as a result of confirming electrical properties following the molybdenum sputtering treatment, it was determined that the film exhibited better electrical conductivity than the fabric. All samples that were subjected to molybdenum sputtering exhibited significantly reduced electromagnetic and IR transmission. As a result, the stealth effect on infrared thermal imaging cameras is considered to be a better way of interpreting heat transfer than infrared transmission. These results are expected to have future applications in high-performance smartwear, military uniforms, and medical wear.

최근 들어 컴퓨터 및 소프트웨어 기술의 발달로 전산모사 관련 연구가 급격하게 늘어나고 있는데, 특히 원자의 개수 및 모델 크기의 문제로 기존에는 많은 제약을 받던 고분자 관련 다양한 전산모사 결과들이 발표되고 있다. 본 연구에서 는 고분자 소재를 필름형태의 분리막으로 활용하기 위한 중요한 특성 중 하나인 기계적 특성을 분자동역학 전산모사를 이용 하여 분석하고자 하는 연구를 진행하였다. 이를 위하여 이미 관련 물성이 널리 보고되어 있는 상용 고분자 소재인 polyethylene (PE)과 polystyrene (PS)을 대상으로 선정하여 주쇄길이 차이를 통한 각 고분자들의 인장특성을 비교하였고, 최종적 으로 분자동역학 전산모사의 기계적 특성 분석이 적합한지 확인하고자 하였다. 밀도, radius of gyration, scattering 분석을 통 해 본 연구에서 제작된 모델이 실제 실험에서 얻어진 기계적 특성 경향과 잘 일치함을 알 수 있었고, 따라서 분자동역학 전 산모사를 이용한 기계적 특성 분석이 다양한 고분자 소재들의 분자 구조에 따른 기계적 특성을 예측할 수 있게 해주며, 실제 실험에서는 적용하기 어려운 다양한 변수들을 반영한 기계적 특성 해석도 가능하게 해 줄 것으로 기대된다.

Atomic layer deposition (ALD) is a promising technology for the uniform deposition of thin films. ALD is based on a self-limiting mechanism, which can effectively deposit thin films on the surfaces of powders of various sizes. Numerous studies are underway to improve the performance of thermoelectric materials by forming core-shell structures in which various materials are deposited on the powder surface using ALD. Thermoelectric materials are especially relevant as clean energy storage materials due to their ability to interconvert between thermal and electrical energy by the Seebeck and Peltier effects. Herein, we introduce a surface and interface modification strategy based on ALD to control the performance of thermoelectric materials. We also discuss the properties of the interface between various deposition materials and thermoelectric materials.

In this study, we report the microstructure and characteristics of Ag-SnO2-Bi2O3 contact materials using a controlled milling process with a subsequent compaction process. Using magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC), the milled Ag-SnO2-Bi2O3 powders have been consolidated into bulk samples. The effects of the compaction conditions on the microstructure and characteristics have been investigated in detail. The nanoscale SnO2 phase and microscale Bi2O3 phase are well-distributed homogeneously in the Ag matrix after the consolidation process. The successful consolidation of Ag-SnO2-Bi2O3 contact materials was achieved by an MPC process with subsequent atmospheric sintering, after which the hardness and electrical conductivity of the Ag-SnO2-Bi2O3 contact materials were found to be 62–75 HV and 52–63% IACS, respectively, which is related to the interfacial stability between the Ag matrix, the SnO2 phase, and the Bi2O3 phase.

This study aimed to investigate the effect of the five senses activities involving food ingredients on the eating behavior of infants. The study was carried out four times over 6 months. We surveyed 65 nursery school infants and teachers who were registered at the 2020 Guro-gu Center for Children’s Food Service Management in Seoul. They participated in the five senses education specialization project. The results of the study showed that the scores relating to unbalanced diet, hygiene management, dietary attitude, and dietary manners were visibly higher than those before participating in the five senses educational activities. In addition, there was a significant difference in the perception of the food ingredients used in the five senses education activities. Finally, as a result of investigating the types of education used before, during, and after the five senses education activities, and the need for education by type, cooking activities were observed to rank higher than other activities in all questions. Based on this, if dietary guidance is provided through a variety of five senses education activities over a long period rather than as a one-time event, it will be beneficial to the children's healthy eating habits.

In this study, we have prepared a Ti-6Al-4V/V/17-4 PH composite structure via a direct energy deposition process, and analyzed the interfaces using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The joint interfaces comprise two zones, one being a mixed zone in which V and 17-4PH are partially mixed and another being a fusion zone in the 17-4PH region which consists of Fe+FeV. It is observed that the power of the laser used in the deposition process affects the thickness of the mixed zone. When a 210 W laser is used, the thickness of the mixed zone is wider than that obtained using a 150 W laser, and the interface resembles a serrated shape. Moreover, irrespective of the laser power used, the expected  phase is found to be absent in the V/17-4 PH stainless steel joint; however, many VN precipitates are observed.

The purpose of this study is to develop a zirconium-based alloy with low modulus and magnetic susceptibility to prevent the stress-shielding effect and the generation of artifacts. Zr-7Cu-xSn (x = 1, 5, 10, 15 mass%) alloys are prepared by an arc melting process. Microstructure characterization is performed by microscopy and X-ray diffraction. Mechanical properties are evaluated using micro Vickers hardness and compression test. The magnetic susceptibility is evaluated using a SQUIDVSM. The average magnetic susceptibility value of the Zr-7Cu-xSn alloy is 1.176 × 108 cm3g1. Corrosion tests of zirconiumbased alloys are conducted through polarization test. The average Icorr value of the Zr-7Cu-xSn alloy is 0.1912 A/cm2. The elastic modulus value of 14 ~ 18 GPa of the zirconium-based alloy is very similar to the elastic modulus value of 15 ~ 30 GPa of the human bone. Consequently, the Sn added zirconium alloy, Zr-7Cu-xSn, is very interesting and attractive as a biomaterial that reduces the stress-shielding effect caused by differences of elastic modulus between human bone and metallic implants. In addition, this material has the potential to be used in metallic dental implants to effectively eliminate artifacts in MRI images due to low magnetic susceptibility.

Ni-rich계 양극 소재는 낮은 가격과 높은 용량으로 인해 고용량 달성을 위한 상용화 소재로 주목받고 있지만, 이 소재의 경 우 전기화학적 불안정성으로 인한 한계를 가진다. 그래서 다양한 표면 코팅 방법을 통해 성능향상을 이루고 있지만, 성능향상이 소 재와 코팅 방법때문인지 또는 코팅 범위가 넓어진 것 때문인지는 모호하게 남아 있다. 본 연구에서는 전이금속으로 양극 활물질을 코팅할 때 전구체 코팅 범위에 따른 리튬이온배터리 전기화학 성능평가를 분석하였다. 상업용 LiNi0.8Co0.1Mn0.1O2 양극 소재 표면을 에탄올 용액에 용해된 리튬-코발트와 리튬-주석 아세테이트 전구체를 코팅하였고, 교반속도를 다르게 하여 (200 rpm 및 600 rpm) 전구체 코팅 범위를 다르게 하였다. 리튬-코발트 아세테이트 전구체의 경우 교반속도가 증가할수록 코팅 범위가 증가하였지만, 리튬 -주석 아세테이트 전구체의 경우 교반속도가 증가할수록 코팅 범위가 감소하였다. 하지만 원소의 종류에 관계없이 코팅 범위가 넓 은 경우에 상대적으로 우수한 전기화학적 성능을 나타내었다. 코팅된 양극 활물질의 물리적 특성은 SEM 및 XRD를 이용하여 분석하 였으며, 전기화학적 성능은 초기 충·방전 용량, 사이클 안정성 및 율속특성 테스트를 통해 조사하였다.

Over the past 40 years, Korea's defense industry has been deepening into a low-efficiency industrial structure as the government directly controls prices, quantities, and costs. By implementing the Defense Industry Building Act in 2021, the government is creating a healthy ecosystem for the defense industry and strengthening its global competitiveness. In this study, based on KPC's Productivity Management System (PMS), a diagnostic model of defense companies implemented since 2013, the on-site diagnosis was performed from 4 to 28 days depending on the size of the company data was collected based on the results. The causal relationship was analyzed through structural equation model path analysis for the effect of innovation capability on productivity performance. As a result, it suggests that defense materials suppliers should focus on which core processes to innovate and strengthen and improve their innovation capabilities.

A wire rod, a material for multistage cold forging, is subjected to spheroidization and low annealing heat treatment to secure formability, and a phosphate coating treatment on the material surface to secure lubricity. The film layer produced by the phosphate treatment process is involved in adhesion to the material surface, adhesion to the forging die surface, and lubricity. This results in the increase or decrease of the forming load and the increase or decrease of the die life in the cold forging process. In particular, as the cold forging process progresses, the phosphate film is damaged and the original performance is deteriorated, so there is a high possibility of process defects. In case of excessive damage, the film is completely lost and die soldering occurs. Therefore, in this study, quantitative criteria for phosphate film damage are presented and the effect on the cold forging process is analyzed based on this to improve process analysis prediction accuracy. Therefore, in this study, quantitative criteria for phosphate film damage are presented, and based on this, the friction coefficient in the multi-stage cold forging process is to be derived.

여수 사도 공룡발자국 화석지는 많은 수의 공룡발자국 화석과 함께 공룡의 집단행동에 대한 연구로 잘 알려진 지역이다. 또한 다양한 종류의 지질유산 및 지형유산이 분포하고 있어 지질관광과 지질교육의 장으로 주목받고 있다. 그러나 지리적 위치에 따른 접근성, 조차에 의한 시간적 제약, 지속적인 풍화 및 훼손에 의해 학생들의 교육을 위한 야외조사는 매우 제한적으로만 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 이번 연구는 최근 다양한 분야에서 이용되고 있는 사진측량법을 이용하여 사도의 공룡발자국 화석들의 3D 모델과 이미지를 생성한 후 이를 통해 과거에 확인하지 못한 화석에 대한 세부적인 정보를 확인함과 동시에 이를 교육자료로 활용 할 수 있는 방안에 대하여 제안하고자 한다. 획득한 3D 이미 지를 통해 확인한 결과 기존에 육안이나 사진으로 확인하지 못하였던 일부 발자국 화석들의 존재를 확인할 수 있었고 기존에 발견된 화석이라도 사진이나 해석 드로잉으로 표현하지 못하였던 세부를 이미지로 나타낼 수 있었다. 또한 발자국 화석의 3D 모델은 향후 반영구적인 데이터로 보존할 수 있어 여러 형태로의 활용과 보존이 가능하다. 이번 연구에서는 사진측량법으로 얻어진 3D 모델을 활용하여 3D 프린팅 및 가상야외조사에 활용할 모바일 증강현실 콘텐츠를 구현하였으며 향후 3D 모델이 필요한 다양한 교육 콘텐츠 분야에서 사진측량법을 활용할 수 있을 것으로 보인다.

SiAlON-based ceramics are a type of oxynitride ceramics, which can be used as cutting tools for heatresistant super alloys (HRSAs). These ceramics are derived from Si3N4 ceramics. SiAlON can be densified using gaspressure reactive sintering from mixtures of oxides and nitrides. In this study, we prepare an α-/β-SiAlON ceramic composite with a composition of Yb0.03Y0.10Si10.6Al1.4O1.0N15.0. The structure and mechanical/thermal properties of the densified SiAlON specimen are characterized and compared with those of a commercial SiAlON cutting tool. By observing the crystallographic structures and microstructures, the constituent phases of each SiAlON ceramic, such as α- SiAlON, β-SiAlON, and intergranular phases, are identified. By evaluating the mechanical and thermal properties, the contribution of the constituent phases to these properties is discussed as well.

Tin/graphite composites are prepared as anode materials for Li-ion batteries using a dry ball-milling process. The main experimental variables in this work are the ball milling time (0–8 h) and composition ratio (tin:graphite=5:95, 15:85, and 30:70 w/w) of graphite and tin powder. For comparison, a tin/graphite composite is prepared using wet ball milling. The morphology and structure of the different tin/graphite composites are investigated using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy, and scanning and transmission electron microscopy. The electrochemical properties of the samples are also examined. The optimal dry ball milling time for the uniform mixing of graphite and tin is 6 h in a graphite-30wt.%Sn sample. The electrode prepared from the composite that is dry-ballmilled for 6 h exhibits the best cycle performance (discharge capacity after 50th cycle: 308 mAh/g and capacity retention: 46%). The discharge capacity after the 50th cycle is approximately 112 mAh/g, higher than that when the electrode is composed of only graphite (196 mAh/g after 50th cycle). This result indicates that it is possible to manufacture a tin/graphite composite anode material that can effectively buffer the volume change that occurs during cycling, even using a simple dry ball-milling process.
