SiAlON-based ceramics are some of the most typical ceramic materials used as cutting tools for HRSA(Heat Resistant Super-Alloys). SiAlON can be fabricated using ceramic processing, such as mixing, granulation, compaction, and sintering. Spray drying is a widely-used method for producing a granular powder of controlled morphology and size with flowability. In this study, we report a systematic investigation aimed at optimizing spherical granule morphology by controlling spray-drying parameters such as gas flow and feed rate. Before spray drying, the viscosities of the raw material slurries were also optimized with the amount of dispersant added.

Porous W-10 wt% Ti alloys are prepared by freeze-drying a WO3-TiH2/camphene slurry, using a sintering process. X-ray diffraction analysis of the heat-treated powder in an argon atmosphere shows the WO3 peak of the starting powder and reaction-phase peaks such as WO2.9, WO2, and TiO2 peaks. In contrast, a powder mixture heated in a hydrogen atmosphere is composed of the W and TiW phases. The formation of reaction phases that are dependent on the atmosphere is explained by a thermodynamic consideration of the reduction behavior of WO3 and the dehydrogenation reaction of TiH2. To fabricate a porous W-Ti alloy, the camphene slurry is frozen at -30℃, and pores are generated in the frozen specimens by the sublimation of camphene while drying in air. The green body is hydrogen-reduced and sintered at 1000℃ for 1 h. The sintered sample prepared by freeze-drying the camphene slurry shows large and aligned parallel pores in the camphene growth direction, and small pores in the internal walls of the large pores. The strut between large pores consists of very fine particles with partial necking between them.

A metal mesh TCE film is fabricated using a series of processes such as UV imprinting of a transparent trench pattern (with a width of 2-5 μm) onto a PET film, filling it with silver paste, wiping of the surface, and heatcuring the silver paste. In this work nanosized (40-50 nm) silver particles are synthesized and mixed with submicron (250-300 nm)-sized silver particles to prepare silver paste for the fabrication of metal mesh-type TCE films. The filling of these silver pastes into the patterned trench layer is examined using a specially designed filling machine and the rheological testing of the silver pastes. The wiping of the trench layer surface to remove any residual silver paste or particles is tested with various mixture solvents, and ethyl cellosolve acetate (ECA):DI water = 90:10 wt% is found to give the best result. The silver paste with 40-50 nm Ag:250-300 nm Ag in a 10:90 wt% mixture gives the highest electrical conductance. The metal mesh TCE film obtained with this silver paste in an optimized process exhibits a light transmittance of 90.4% and haze at 1.2%, which is suitable for TSP application.

Aluminum nitride (AlN) powder specimens are treated by high-energy bead milling and then sintered at various temperatures. Depending on the solvent and milling time, the oxygen content in the AlN powder varies significantly. When isopropyl alcohol is used, the oxygen content increases with the milling time. In contrast, hexane is very effective at suppressing the oxygen content increase in the AlN powder, although severe particle sedimentation after the milling process is observed in the AlN slurry. With an increase in the milling time, the primary particle size remains nearly constant, but the particle agglomeration is reduced. After spark plasma sintering at 1400℃, the second crystalline phase changes to compounds containing more Al2O3 when the AlN raw material with an increased milling time is used. When the sintering temperature is decreased from 1750℃ to 1400℃, the DC resistivity increases by approximately two orders of magnitude, which implies that controlling the sintering temperature is a very effective way to improve the DC resistivity of AlN ceramics.

The aim of this study was to evaluate the quality characteristics, antioxidant activities, and sensory properties of macaron with cabbage powder (CP). Physicochemical and sensory properties of macaron with different amounts (0%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%) of CP were examined. The quality of macarons was evaluated based on spread factor, baking loss rate, color, texture, antioxidant activities, and sensory evaluation. As amount of CP addition increased, spread factor, baking loss rate, and L and a values decreased, whereas b value increased (p<0.05). For texture properties, hardness, cohesiveness, and springiness were increased by addition of CP (p<0.05). The gumminess and brittleness did not show significant changes up to 3% CP addition although significant changes in 5-7% CP addition (p<0.05) were evident. The total polyphenolic contents, DPPH radical scavenging activities, and reducing power were significantly increased by addition of CP at high concentrations (p<0.05). In the consumer acceptance of macarons, 3% CP showed the highest in color, flavor, texture, and overall acceptance and 5% CP showed the highest in taste. Meanwhile, macaron containing 7% CP showed the lowest scores in texture and overall acceptance (p<0.05). These data suggested that adding 3% of CP was the optimal concentration for making macaron.

This study investigates the quality characteristics of dough and bread added with 6% chestnut shell powder and extruded chestnut shell powder at various conditions. As extrusion process variables, melt temperature (110°C, 130°C, 150°C) and moisture (25% and 30%) were controlled. Total dietary fiber content was slightly increased in extruded chestnut shell powder group. In the farinogram, absorption was significantly increased in the group of 25% moisture content and 30% moisture content (p<0.05). After 2 hours and 3 hours, the leavening heights of dough for control showed a similar tendency to that of dough with extruded chestnut shell at a melt temperature 150°C and with moisture content of 25% and 30%. Specific volume was the highest at a control of 3.74±0.08 cc/g and extruded chestnut shell powder group was slightly higher than the chestnut shell powder group. Firmness after 1 day on control of 107.42±14.52 g was similar to that of the bread with extruded chestnut shell at a temperature of 150°C and moisture content of 25% for 113.33±6.17 g. In conclusion, the extrusion-cooking of chestnut shell powder improved the quality characteristics of dough and bread. The optimum combinations of conditions in tested range were melt temperature at 150°C and moisture content at 25%, and melt temperature at 130°C and moisture content at 30%.

A cultivar (Malus domestica cv. Fuji) of apple was selected to make apple peel (AP) powder by three different powdering methods. Frozen AP was thawed and subsequently was dried or ground without drying. After AP was dried by hot-air drying at 60°C or freeze-drying, the dried AP was ground using a conventional blender. Separately, the thawed AP was powered by using a cryogenic micro grinding technology (CMGT). The ground AP and three types of AP powder were extracted using deionized water, 20, 40, 60, 80, or 100% methanol, followed by vacuum evaporation. The total phenolics contents (TPC), total flavonoids contents (TFC), DPPH, and ABTS radical scavenging capacities of each extract were compared to determine an efficient powdering method. Lyophilized AP powder extract using 60% methanol showed the highest TPC and DPPH radical scavenging capacity. In contrast, 60% methanol extract of the powder by CMGT, resulting in the smallest particle, exhibited the highest TFC and ABTS radical scavenging capacity. This study suggests that the extraction yield of bioactive compounds from AP may be varied according to different powdering methods and that a new powdering process such as CMGT may be applicable to develop functional foods efficiently.

두유는 단백질, 지질, 다당류 등이 에멀션과 서스펜션 형태로 혼합된 분산 시스템이다. 두유의 안정성은 제조조건과 균질화 방법에 따른 입자의 크기와 열처리 조건 등에 의하여 크게 영향을 받으며, 일반적으로 점증제와 계면활성제를 사용하여 향상시킬 수 있는 것으로 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 양친매성의 진세노사이드를 함유한 인삼 분말의 첨가와 열처리가 고압 균질화하여 제조한 비지 분리 두유의 안정화에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 전두유의 비지를 분리한 후 2% (w/w)의 인삼 분말을 첨가하였으며, 이때 진세노사이드 함량(Rg1, Rb1, 및 Rg3의 합량)은 0.088 mg/100g soy milk 이었다. 이후 두유를 열처리(90°C, 10 min)하거나 열처리 하지 않고 고압 균질화(4500 psi)하여 인삼 분말을 함유한 비지 분리 두유를 제조하였다. 제조한 두유 샘플들의 고형분 함량은 6.7-7.5% (w/w), pH는 6.4-6.8, 제타 포텐셜은 -7-0.3 mV, 입도 크기는 17-23 μm 범위에서 측정되었다. 두유의 저장 안정성은 두유를 45 ml 유리관에 넣고 25°C에서 144 h 동안 저장하면서 분리된 상층부와 하층부의 입도크기, 투과도, 상분리 현상 등을 측정하여 분석하였다. 인삼 분말을 첨가하지 않은 비열처리 두유의 경우, 저장 중 상층부의 입도 크기는 21.6±0.2 μm에서 6.6±0.4 μm로 감소하였고 투과도는 5.2±0.0%에서 77.3±0.1%로 급격히 증가하였다. 2%의 인삼 분말을 첨가한 비열처리 두유의 경우, 저장 중 상층부의 입도 크기는 21.6±0.1 μm에서 38.5±3.1 μm와 투과도는 0.8±0.0%에서 58.1±0.1%로 각각 증가하였다. 인삼 분말을 첨가하지 않은 열처리 두유의 경우, 저장 중 상층부의 입도크기는 17.4±2.4 μm에서 1.1±0.0 μm로 감소하였고 투과도는 7.3±0.1에서 14.0±0.1로 증가하였다. 2% 인삼 분말을 첨가한 열처리 두유의 경우, 상층부의 입도 크기는 22.9±0.4-24.9±0.5 μm, 투과도는 1.0±0.0-4.3±0.1% 범위에서 일정한 값을 유지하여 가장 높은 저장 안정성을 나타내었다. 저장 중 하층부에서는 인삼 분말첨가와 열처리에 따른 입도크기와 투과도는 각각 12.5±0.9-24.5 μm와 0.3±0.0-7.3±0.1% 범위로써 유의적인 차이는 보이지 않았다.

콩가루는 탈지한 대두박이나 탈지하지 않는 콩을 미세하게 분쇄하여 분말화 한 것으로 미국에서 입자의크기가 100mesh 체를 통과한 것으로 규정하고 있다. mesh는 강철망의 망눈의 개수를 표시하는 단위로써 가로 세로 1인치(25.4mm)사이에 있는 망눈사이의 공간의 수이고 즉 300mesh라 하면 표준체 가로 세로의길이 2.54cm 안에 구멍이 300개가 들어있는 체를 통과하는 분말의 크기를 나타낸다. 콩가루는 글루텐(gluten)이 함유되어 있지 않고 단백질함량이 많다는 면에서 밀가루와 구분되며 섬유소가 함유되어 있다는 면에서 탈지 분유와도 다르다 콩가루는 콩의 불순물을 제거한뒤 6-8 조각으로 조분쇄하여 콩껍질을 제거한 다음, 가열처리하고 이를 냉각시킨 후 분쇄하여 제조한다. 제조 과정 중의 열처리는 콩비린내를 제거하고 효소를 불활성화시켜 콩가루 냄새를 크게 향상시킬 뿐만 아니라 트립신저해제(trypsin inbibiter)를 불활성화시켜 소화율을 향상시킨다. 가열 처리에 따라 콩가루의 착색과 단백질 용해도가 감소되므로 가열방법과 가열온도, 가열시간을 적절히 조정해야 한다. 콩가루는 그 제조공정에 따라 탈지 콩가루, 전지 콩가루, 압출콩가루로 나눌 수 있는데, 전지콩가루는 콩껍질을 제거한 콩을 마쇄한 것이므로 일반성분이 콩의 자엽 부분과 비슷하고, 탈지 콩가루는 지방성분을 제거한 것이므로 지방함량이 낮고 단백질 함량이 50.0∼69.9%로 높다 압출 콩가루는 가열압출기(extruder-cooker)를 이용하여 콩을가열, 압출하여 제조한 콩가루로 지방을 제거하지 않은 콩을 그대로 사용하므로 영양가가 높고 향미가 높은 것이 특징이다. 두부는 대두의 수용성 단백질을 추출 응고시킨 gel상의 식품으로 소화율이 높고, 대두단백질은 lysine 등 필수 아미노산 함양이 높아 곡류위주의 식생활에서 부족되기 쉬운영양소를 공급하면서도 가격이 저렴한 식품이다. 본 연구는 전두부를 만들기전 첫 공정단계로 콩을 선별후 분쇄한 콩가루 50mesh, 150mesh, 300mesh, 600mesh의 국내산과 수입산으로 나눠 입자를 분석하고, 두부로 가공했을시 두부의 입자비교, 응고시간, 두부발효음료의 결과를 알아보려고 한다. 본연구에서 사용되는 전두부용 콩가루의 굵기는 300∼600mesh의 콩가루를 사용했으며, 보통 밀가루,미숫가루의 굵기는 150∼200 mesh이다. 전두부는 굵기가 가늘수록 두부의 형태는 부드럽고 단백하며, 가장 이상적인 두부의 형태가 만들어지고 다른 물질과 이루어 졌을 때 이상적인 화합물 반응으로 비추어 볼 때 맛의 형태를 좌우한다.

An optimum route to fabricate a hybrid-structured W powder composed of nano and micro size powders was investigated. The mixture of nano and micro W powders was prepared by a ball milling and hydrogen reduction process for WO3 and W powders. Microstructural observation for the ball-milled powder mixtures revealed that the nano-sized WO3 particles were homogeneously distributed on the surface of large W powders. The reduction behavior of WO3 powder was analyzed by a temperature programmed reduction method with different heating rates in Ar-10% H2 atmosphere. The activation energies for the reduction of WO3, estimated by the slope of the Kissinger plot from the amount of reaction peak shift with heating rates, were measured as 117.4 kJ/mol and 94.6 kJ/mol depending on reduction steps from WO3 to WO2 and from WO2 to W, respectively. SEM and XRD analysis for the hydrogen-reduced powder mixture showed that the nano-sized W particles were well distributed on the surface of the micro-sized W powders.

A Nanosized WO3 and CuO powder mixture is prepared using novel high-energy ball milling in a bead mill to obtain a W-Cu nanocomposite powder, and the effect of milling time on the structural characteristics of WO3-CuO powder mixtures is investigated. The results show that the ball-milled WO3-CuO powder mixture reaches at steady state after 10 h milling, characterized by the uniform and narrow particle size distribution with primary crystalline sizes below 50 nm, a specific surface area of 37 m2/g, and powder mean particle size (D50) of 0.57 μm. The WO3-CuO powder mixtures milled for 10 h are heat-treated at different temperatures in H2 atmosphere to produce W-Cu powder. The XRD results shows that both the WO3 and CuO phases can be reduced to W and Cu phases at temperatures over 700oC. The reduced W-Cu nanocomposite powder exhibits excellent sinterability, and the ultrafine W-Cu composite can be obtained by the Cu liquid phase sintering process.

Ni wires with a diameter and length of 0.4 and 100 mm, respectively, and a purity of 99.9% are electrically exploded at 25 cycles per minute. The Ni nanopowders are successfully synthesized by a pulsed wire evaporation (PWE) method, in which Ar gas is used as the ambient gas. The characterization of the nanopowders is carried out using X-ray diffraction (XRD) and a high-resolution transmission electronmicroscope (HRTEM). The Ni nanopowders are classified for a multilayer ceramic condenser (MLCC) application using a type two Air-Centrifugal classifier (model: CNI, MP-250). The characterization of the classified Ni nanopowders are carried out using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and particle size analysis (PSA) to observe the distribution and minimum classification point (minimum cutting point) of the nanopowders.

The effect of the mixing method on the characteristics of hybrid-structure W powder with nano and micro sizes is investigated. Fine WO3 powders with sizes of ~0.6 μm, prepared by ball milling for 10 h, are mixed with pure W powder with sizes of 12 μm by various mixing process. In the case of simple mixing with ball-milled WO3 and micro sized W powders, WO3 particles are locally present in the form of agglomerates in the surface of large W powders, but in the case of ball milling, a relatively uniform distribution of WO3 particles is exhibited. The microstructural observation reveals that the ball milled WO3 powder, heat-treated at 750oC for 1 h in a hydrogen atmosphere, is fine W particles of ~200 nm or less. The powder mixture prepared by simple mixing and hydrogen reduction exhibits the formation of coarse W particles with agglomeration of the micro sized W powder on the surface. Conversely, in the powder mixture fabricated by ball milling and hydrogen reduction, a uniform distribution of fine W particles forming nano-micro sized hybrid structure is observed.
