Infiltration is a popular technique used to produce valve seat rings and guides to create dense parts. In order to develop valve seat material with a good thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient, Cu-infiltrated properties of sintered Fe-Co-M(M=Mo,Cr) alloy systems are studied. It is shown that the copper network that forms inside the steel alloy skeleton during infiltration enhances the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient of the steel alloy composite. The hard phase of the CoMoCr and the network precipitated FeCrC phase are distributed homogeneously as the infiltrated Cu phase increases. The increase in hardness of the alloy composite due to the increase of the Co, Ni, Cr, and Cu contents in Fe matrix by the infiltrated Cu amount increases. Using infiltration, the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient were increased to 29.5 W/mK and 15.9 um/moC, respectively, for tempered alloy composite.

For the automotive application, graphene-glass composites were fabricated using E-glass fiber(GF) coated with various types of graphene nanosheets deposited by electrophoretic deposition. Graphene oxide(GO) was first synthesized using a modified Hummer’s method and its subsequent ultrasonic treatment in deionized water produced a stable stop of the GO. Glass fiber was immersed in water and GO suspension near the copper anode. The potential applied between the electrodes caused the GO to move toward the anode. In addition, the GO coated yarn was exposed to hydrazine hydrate at 100℃ to obtain a reduced graphene oxide(rGO) coating yarn. Both GO and rGO coated glass fiber yarns were used to fabricate unidirectional epoxy-based multi-scale composites by passive lay-up. The presence of a conductive rGO coating on glass fiber improves both the electrical conductivity and thermal conductivity of the composite. In addition, rGO-based epoxy-glass composites have been used to improve the dielectric constant, providing the option of using this structure for electromagnetic interference shielding.

ZnO crystals with different morphologies are synthesized through thermal evaporation of the mixture of Zn and Cu powder in air at atmospheric pressure. ZnO crystals with wire shape are synthesized when the process is performed at 1,000 oC, while tetrapod-shaped ZnO crystals begin to form at 1,100 oC. The wire-shaped ZnO crystals form even at 1,000 oC, indicating that Cu acts as a reducing agent. As the temperature increases to 1,200 oC, a large quantity of tetrapod-shaped ZnO crystals form and their size also increases. In addition to the tetrapods, rod-shaped ZnO crystals are observed. The atomic ratio of Zn and O in the ZnO crystals is approximately 1:1 with an increasing process temperature from 1,000 oC to 1,200 oC. For the ZnO crystals synthesized at 1,000 oC, no luminescence spectrum is observed. A weak visible luminescence is detected for the ZnO crystals prepared at 1,100 oC. Ultraviolet and visible luminescence peaks with strong intensities are observed in the luminescence spectrum of the ZnO crystals formed at 1,200 oC.

Polysulfone 수지를 사용한 그래핀 복합조성물을 제조하고, 이것들의 멤브레인에 대한 잔류응력과 열전도 특성을 분석하였다. 그래핀을 포함하는 polysulfone 멤브레인의 잔류응력분석은 Si (100) 기판에 스핀코팅으로 10 μm 두께의 막을 도포하여 준비한 시료를 대상으로 하였으며, 잔류응력의 측정은 온도를 승온하고 냉각하는 완전한 1주기 동안 수행하였다. 그래핀을 포함하는 polysulfone 평막을 증류수를 사용한 상전이법으로 제조하여 두께방향과 면방향으로 열전도도를 구분하여 각각 측정하였으며 평막시료의 열전도 이방성을 분석하였다. 그래핀의 구조적 특징에 의해 이를 포함하는 polysulfone 막의 잔류응력은 그래핀 함량이 증가함에 따라 점차로 완화되는 경향을 나타내었고, 열전도특성은 평막형성의 구조적 특성과 그래핀의 고유특성에 의해 두께방향과 면방향의 차이를 확인할 수 있었다.

ZnO micro/nanocrystals with different morphologies were synthesized by thermal evaporation of various zinc source materials in an air atmosphere. Zinc acetate, zinc carbonate and zinc iodide were used as the source materials. No catalysts or substrates were used in the synthesis of the ZnO crystals. The scanning electron microscope(SEM) image showed that the morphology of ZnO crystals was strongly dependent on the source materials, which suggests that source material is one of the key factors in controlling the morphology of the obtained ZnO crystals. Tetrapods, nanogranular shaped crystals, spherical particles and crayon-shaped crystals were obtained using different source materials. The X-ray diffraction(XRD) pattern revealed that the all the ZnO crystals had hexagonal wurtzite crystalline structures. An ultraviolet emission was observed in the cathodoluminescence spectrum of the ZnO crystals prepared via thermal evaporation of Zn powder. However, a strong green emission centered at around 500 nm was observed in the cathodoluminescence spectra of the ZnO crystals prepared using zinc salts as the source materials.

The microstructure, flexural properties, electrical conductivity, thermal conductivity and electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding effectiveness (SE) of epoxy composites filled with multi-walled carbon nanotubes (CNTs), exfoliated graphite nanoplatelets (xGnPs) and CNT-xGnP hybrid filler were investigated. The EMI SE of the CNT-xGnP hybrid composite was higher than 25 dB at 100 MHz while that of the xGnP based composite was almost zero. The flexural modulus of the CNT-xGnP based epoxy composite continuously increased to 3.32 GPa with combined filler content up to 10 wt% while that of the CNT based epoxy composites slightly decreased to 1.96 GPa at 4 wt% CNT, and dropped to 1.57 GPa at 5 wt% loading, which is lower than that of epoxy. The CNT and CNT-xGnP samples had the same EMI SE at the same surface resistivity, because samples with the same surface conductivity have the same amount of the charge carriers.

PVA 부직포의 방염성을 향상시키기 위하여 POCl3로 방염처리하였다. POCl3로 처리한 PVA 부직포의 물리적 및 열적 특성을 측정하고 분석하였다. 개질한 PVA 부직포는 대부분 물에 용해하지 않았으나 수축과 스웰링 특성을 보 였다. POCl3로 방염처리한 PVA 부직포의 열적 특성이 우수하고 방염특성이 원시료 보다 많이 우수한 것을 확인하였다. 그라프트 비와 염색성 사이의 선형관계는 PVA 부직포의 히드록시기와 POCl3가 공유결합으로 연결된 것에 기인하는 것 으로 분석되었다.

Aluminum-oxide(Al2O3) thin films were deposited by electron cyclotron resonance plasma-enhanced atomic layer deposition at room temperature using trimethylaluminum(TMA) as the Al source and O2 plasma as the oxidant. In order to compare our results with those obtained using the conventional thermal ALD method, Al2O3 films were also deposited with TMA and H2O as reactants at 280 oC. The chemical composition and microstructure of the as-deposited Al2O3 films were characterized by X-ray diffraction(XRD), X-ray photo-electric spectroscopy(XPS), atomic force microscopy(AFM) and transmission electron microscopy(TEM). Optical properties of the Al2O3 films were characterized using UV-vis and ellipsometry measurements. Electrical properties were characterized by capacitance-frequency and current-voltage measurements. Using the ECR method, a growth rate of 0.18 nm/cycle was achieved, which is much higher than the growth rate of 0.14 nm/cycle obtained using thermal ALD. Excellent dielectric and insulating properties were demonstrated for both Al2O3 films.

Dinickel-silicide (Ni2Si)/glass was employed as a counter electrode for a dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC) device. Ni2Si was formed by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) at 700 oC for 15 seconds of a 50 nm-Ni/50 nm-Si/glass structure. For comparison, Ni2Si on quartz was also prepared through conventional electric furnace annealing (CEA) at 800 oC for 30 minutes. XRD, XPS, and EDS line scanning of TEM were used to confirm the formation of Ni2Si. TEM and CV were employed to confirm the microstructure and catalytic activity. Photovoltaic properties were examined using a solar simulator and potentiostat. XRD, XPS, and EDS line scanning results showed that both CEA and RTA successfully led to tne formation of nano thick- Ni2Si phase. The catalytic activity of CEA-Ni2Si and RTA-Ni2Si with respect to Pt were 68 % and 56 %. Energy conversion efficiencies (ECEs) of DSSCs with CEA-Ni2Si and RTA-Ni2Si catalysts were 3.66 % and 3.16 %, respectively. Our results imply that nano-thick Ni2Si may be used to replace Pt as a reduction catalytic layer for a DSSCs. Moreover, we show that nanothick Ni2Si can be made available on a low-cost glass substrate via the RTA process.

For people who have a food allergy the only way to manage the allergy is to avoid the food allergen. The mackerel is one of the major food allergens, but no immunoassay for the rapid and simple detection of mackerel has been reported. The objectives of this study are to develop and characterize monoclonal antibodies (MAbs) specific to mackerel using thermal stable-soluble proteins (TSSP) as an immunogen and to characterize the MAbs by indirect enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (iELISA). The mice immunized with mackerel TSSP and showing high titer were used for cell fusion and cloning. The characterization of MAbs produced from hybridoma cells obtained was confirmed by indirect ELISA and western blot. Four MAbs were confirmed to be specific to mackerel without crossreaction to other marine products and livestock products in the both methods. The iELISA and western blot based on the MAbs can sensitively detect 1% mackerel protein in other marine products. These results support that immunochemical methods based on the MAb produced could be used as rapid means to detect low levels of mackerel and to identify mackerel adulterated in food.

본 연구는 복숭아 주간부 동해 예방을 위한 피복재의 보온성을 평가하기 위해 백색부직포, 황색일반지, 방수패드로 만들어진 피복재의 물리적 특성 및 보온성을 평가하고 실제 겨울철 복숭아 주간부 보온효과를 구명하여 피복재로서의 이용가능성을 검토하기 위해 수행하였다. 세 피복재 중 2겹방수패드 처리가 보온율과 열저항성이 가장 우수하였다. 2겹방수패드 처리의 주간단열효과는 14.09oC 만큼 온도상승을 차단하였고, 야간보온효과는 7.23oC 만큼 온도하강을 차단하여 보온효과가 가장 우수함을 확인하였다. 따라서 방수패드 재질을 보온피복재로 개발·보급할 경우 복숭아 주간부 동해 피해를 경감시키는데 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 생각되었다.

We have investigated a glass-forming region of V2O5- P2O5-ZnO glass and the effects of the addition of modifier oxides (B2O3) to the glass systems as a sealing material to improve the adhesion between the glass frits and a soda lime substrate. Thermal properties and coefficient of thermal expansion were measured using a differential scanning calorimetry, a dilatometer and a hot stage microscopy. Structural changes and interfacial reactions between the glass substrate and the glass frit after sintering (at 400 oC for 1 h) were measured by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and scanning electron microscope. The results showed that the adhesion strength increases as the content of B2O3 at 5 mol% increases because of changes in the structural properties. It seems that the glass structures change with B2O3, and the Si4+ ions from the substrate are diffused to the sealing glass. From these results, we could understand the mechanism of strengthening of the adhesion of soda lime silica substrate by ion-diffusion from the substrate to the glass.

The influence of NiCrAlY bond coating on the adhesion properties of an Fe thermal coating sprayed on an Al substrate was investigated. By applying a bond coat, an adhesion strength of 21MPa was obtained, which was higher than the 15.5MPa strength of the coating without the bond coat. Formation of cracks at the interface of the bond coat and the Al substrate was suppressed by applying the bond coat. Microstructural analysis of the coating interface using EBSD and TEM indicated that the dominant bonding mechanism was mechanical interlocking. Mechanical interlocking without crack defects in the coating interface may improve the adhesion strength of the coating. In conclusion, the use of an NiCrAlY bond coat is an effective method of improving the adhesion properties of thermal sprayed Fe coatings on Al substrates.

Hydrogen is considered a potential future energy source. Among other applications of hydrogen, hydrogen-rich water is emerging as a new health care product in industrial areas. Water electrolysis is typically used to generate a hydrogen rich water system. We annealed 10AA carbon paper in air to use it as an electrode of a hydrogen rich water generator. Driven by annealing, structural changes of the carbon paper were identified by secondary electron microscope analysis. Depending on the various annealing temperatures, changes of the hydrophilic characteristics were demonstrated. The crystal structures of pristine and heat-treated carbon paper were characterized by X-ray diffraction. Improvement of the efficiency of the electrochemical oxygen evolution reaction was measured via linear voltammetry. The optimized annealing temperature of 10AA carbon paper showed the possibility of using this material as an effective hydrogen rich water generator.

Rare-earth zirconates, such as lanthanum zirconates and gadolinium zirconates, have been intensively investigated due to their excellent properties of low thermal conductivity as well as chemical stability at high temperature, which can make these materials ones of the most promising candidates for next-generation thermal barrier coating applications. In this study, three compositions, lanthanum/gadolinium zirconates with reduced rare-earth contents from stoichiometric RE2Zr2O7 compositions, are fabricated via solid state reaction as well as sintering at 1600oC for 4 hrs. The phase formation, microstructure, and thermo-physical properties of three oxide ceramics are examined. In particular, each oxide ceramics exhibits composite structures between pyrochlore and fluorite phases. The potential of lanthanum/ gadolinium zirconate ceramics for TBC applications is also discussed.

본 연구는 열수침지 및 과열증기 처리한 당근을 IQF 방 법으로 급속 냉동 한 다음 -12, -18, -24 o C에서 24주 동안 저장한 후 해동하여 이화학적 및 영양학적 특성과 미생물 학적 변화를 분석하여 열처리 및 냉동 저장의 최적 공정 과정을 확립하고자 하였다. 대체적으로 과열증기 처리한 당근보다 열수침지 처리한 당근의 ΔE이 큰 값을 나타내었 고, 열처리 후 생당근에 비해 전단력이 감소하였으나 급속 냉동 후 저장 기간에 따른 유의적인 차이를 나타내지 않았 다(p>0.05). 열처리 후 생당근에 비해 총균수가 감소되었지 만 냉동 저장시 일정한 경향을 보였고, 열수침지 처리한 당근의 비타민 C 손실양이 과열증기 처리한 당근보다 더 많았다. 열수침지 처리 후 감소한 유리당의 함량은 저장 기간에 따른 변화는 없던 반면, 과열증기 처리 후 급속 냉 동 한 당근의 유리당 함량은 증가하였다. 당근의 유기산의 함량은 열수침지 처리 후 감소하였으나 과열 침지 처리 후 oxalic acid와 malic acid 함량은 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이를 통해 열처리 후 영양 성분의 손실이 더 적은 과열증 기법의 공정 과정이 열수침지법보다 더 적절한 것으로 보 인다. 또한 -12 o C에서 저장한 당근의 비타민 C가 6개월 후 모두 파괴되었던 것을 통해 비타민 C의 파괴를 최소화하 기 위해서는 이보다 더 낮은 온도에서 냉동 저장해야 할 것이라 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 피망의 동결 전 가열처리 조건을 선정하 기 위해 열수침지, 과열증기 및 볶음 처리 조건에 따른 품 질 특성 변화를 조사하였다. 피망의 외관, 색도, 경도, 미세 구조 관찰 등의 결과로 각 방법별 두 가지 조건을 선정 후 영양학적 품질 조사를 실시하였다. 가열처리 후 피망의 ΔE 값은 처리 시간에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였고, 특히 볶음 처리시 감소폭이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 열수침지 및 과열증기 처리에 따른 pH 변화는 적었지만, 볶음 처리 후 감소하였다. 경도는 가열처리 후 대체적으로 감소하는 경 향을 보였고, 열수침지 및 볶음 처리 시간이 길수록 경도 는 급격히 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 피망의 일반성분, 비타 민 C, 유리당 및 유기산 함량은 가열처리 방법 및 처리 시간에 따라 유의적인 영향을 받았다. 비타민 C 함량은 열 수침지>과열증기>볶음 처리 순으로, 처리 시간이 길수록 감소량이 큰 것으로 나타났다. 피망의 수용성 성분인 유리 당 및 유기산 함량은 볶음 처리에 비해 열수침지 및 과열 증기 처리시 감소량이 많았다. Peroxidase 활성은 짧은 시 간의 열수침지(2분) 및 과열증기(3분) 처리에도 약 90% 이 상의 불활성화율을 나타냈지만, 볶음 처리시에는 peroxidase 활성 억제 효과가 20% 이하로 낮았다. 이상의 결과로부터 피망의 가열처리 조건은 색도, 경도, 비타민 C, 유리당 등 변화는 적고 peroxidase 억제 효과가 높은 증기처리법으로 3분간 처리하는 것이 적합할 것으로 판단된다.

The monolayer engineering diamond particles are aligned on the oxygen free Cu plates with electroless Ni plating layer. The mean diamond particle sizes of 15, 23 and 50 μm are used as thermal conductivity pathway for fabricating metal/carbon multi-layer composite material systems. Interconnected void structure of irregular shaped diamond particles allow dense electroless Ni plating layer on Cu plate and fixing them with 37-43% Ni thickness of their mean diameter. The thermal conductivity decrease with increasing measurement temperature up to 150oC in all diamond size conditions. When the diamond particle size is increased from 15 μm to 50 μm (Max. 304 W/mK at room temperature) tended to increase thermal conductivity, because the volume fraction of diamond is increased inside plating layer.
