The 3D printing process provides a higher degree of freedom when designing ceramic parts than the conventional press forming process. However, the generation and growth of the microcracks induced during heat treatment is thought to be due to the occurrence of local tensile stress caused by the thermal decomposition of the binder inside the green body. In this study, an alumina columnar specimen, which is a representative ceramic material, is fabricated using the digital light process (DLP) 3D printing method. DTG analysis is performed to investigate the cause of the occurrence of microcracks by analyzing the debinding process in which microcracks are mainly generated. HDDA of epoxy acrylates, which is the main binder, rapidly debinded in the range of 200 to 500oC, and microcracks are observed because of real-time microscopic image observation. For mitigating the rapid debinding process of HDDA, other types of acrylates PETA, PUA, and MMA are added, and the effect of these additives on the debinding rate is investigated. By analyzing the DTG in the 25 to 300oC region, it is confirmed that the PETA monomer and the PUA monomer can suppress the rapid decomposition rate of HDDA in this temperature range.

In the development of advanced ceramic tools, material improvements and design freedom are critical in improving tool performance. However, in the die press molding method, many factors limit tool design and make it difficult to develop innovative advanced tools. Ceramic 3D printing facilitates the production of prototype samples for advanced tool development and the creation of complex tooling products. Furthermore, it is possible to respond to mass production requirements by reflecting the needs of the tool industry, which can be characterized by small quantities of various products. However, many problems remain in ensuring the reliability of ceramic tools for industrial use. In this study, alumina inserts, a representative ceramic tool, was manufactured using the digital light process (DLP), a 3D printing method. Alumina inserts prepared by 3D printing are pressurelessly sintered under the same conditions as coupon-type specimens prepared by press molding. After sintering, a hot isostatic pressing (HIP) treatment is performed to investigate the effects of relative density and microstructure changes on hardness and fracture toughness. Alumina inserts prepared by 3D printing show lower relative densities than coupon specimens prepared by powder molding but indicate similar hardness and higher fracture toughness values.

The coffee grounds generated during the coffee extraction process contain several resources, but the technology for their recycling has not been commercialized yet, causing various environmental problems. Due to the recent increase in coffee consumption worldwide, the amount of coffee grounds produced has been continuously increasing, reaching more than 750 million tons. In Korea, about 120,000 tons of coffee waste are annually generated; however, most of them are landfilled or incinerated. Although there is still a shortage of coffee waste recycling technologies compared to the amount of coffee grounds produced, various recycling approaches are being actuated in many countries including Korea. In this study, the generation of coffee grounds at home and abroad, the status of coffee grounds recycling, and the associated technology development trends were investigated. The coffee grounds recycling has been studied in the fields of energy, adsorbent, construction, agriculture, and bio-foods. Research is most active in the energy and biotechnology areas; in particular, since the oil in the coffee grounds is valuable as a feedstock for biomass energy, the technology related to energy recovery is currently under development worldwide. Removed because confusing and unnecessary.

얼굴 피부는 신체 건강을 표현할 뿐만 아니라 매력을 결정하는 요소 중 하나이다. 특히 윤기 나는 피부는 대부분의 사람들이 선호하며 윤기 나는 피부 표현을 위해 다양한 화장품들이 만들어져왔다. 하지만 윤기 있는 피부는 주관적 평가이기 때문에 기름진 피부의 경우 기존의 피부 윤기 평가 방법으로는 명확한 윤기 있는 피부로 평가하기가 어렵다. 더욱이 윤기와 유사하게 광이 있지만 부정적으로 평가되는 번들거리는 피부와 명확한 분류 기준 또한 없는 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 피부측정 파라미터 5개[피부 광채, 피부 보습, 피부 투명도, 피부 피지, 안면 이미지]를 측정하였고, 연구대상자들이 촬영된 안면 이미지를 근거하여 각각의 윤기 있는 피부와 번들거리는 피부의 이미지를 선별하여 피부 측정의 정량화를 통해 비교 분석하였다. 그 결과 번들거리는 피부에서 피부 광채 및 피지 증가, 투명도 감소, 보습 감소를 확인하였다. 그러나 윤기 있는 피부의 경우 피부 광채, 피지, 투명도는 유사한 패턴을 보였지만 보습이 유의차 있게 증가하는 결과를 보였다. 본 연구에서는 기기측정 및 정량적 평가를 통해서 윤기 있는 피부와 번들거리는 피부를 분류하는 객관적 평가 기준을 제시하고자 한다.
