The hydride reorientation (HR) of used nuclear fuel cladding after operation affects the integrity during intermediate and disposal storage, as well as the handling processes associated with transportation and storage. In particular, during dry storage, which is an intermediate storage method, the radial hydrogen redistributes into circumferential hydrogen, increasing the embrittlement of used nuclear fuel cladding. This hydride reorientation is influenced by various key factors such as circumferential stress (hoop stress) due to internal rod pressure, maximum temperature reached, cooling rate during storage, and the concentration of precipitated hydrogen during irradiation. To simulate long-term dry storage of used nuclear fuel, hydrogenated Zircaloy-4 cladding (CWSRA) specimens were used in hydride reorientation tests under various hoop stress conditions (70, 80, 90, and 110 MPa) for extended cooling periods (3 months, 6 months, and 12 months). After the hydride reorientation tests, the cladding’s offset strain (%) was evaluated through a ring compression test, a mechanical property test encompassing both ductility and brittleness. In this study, the offset deformation of the hydride reorientation specimens was compared and evaluated through ring tensile tests. In this study, the offset deformation values were compared and evaluated through ring tensile tests of the hydride reorientation test specimens. Hydrogen in zirconium cladding reduces ductility from a physical perspective and induces rapid plastic deformation. Generally, even in hydrogenated unirradiated cladding, it maintains a tensile strength of around 800 MPa at room temperature. However, high hydrogen content accelerates plastic deformation. In contrast, samples with radial hydrogen distribution exhibit fracture behavior in the elastic region below 500 MPa. This is attributed to the directional of radial hydrogen distribution. Specimens with a hydrogen concentration of 200 ppm fracture faster than those with hydrogen concentrations exceeding 400 ppm. This is believed to be due to the ease of reorientation of radial hydrogen in cladding with relatively low hydrogen content. Although the consistency of the test results is not ideal, ongoing research is needed to identify trends in hydride reorientation from a cladding perspective.

Silicon nitride (SiNx:H) films made by plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) are generally used as antireflection layers and passivation layers on solar cells. In this study, we investigated the properties of silicon nitride (SiNx:H) films made by PECVD. The passivation properties of SiNx:H are focused on by making the antireflection properties identical. To make equivalent optical properties of silicon nitride films, the refractive index and thickness of the films are fixed at 2.0 and 90 nm, respectively. This limit makes it easier to evaluate silicon nitride film as a passivation layer in realistic application situations. Next, the effects of the mixture ratio of the process gases with silane (SiH4) and ammonia (NH3) on the passivation qualities of silicon nitride film are evaluated. The absorption coefficient of each film was evaluated by spectrometric ellipsometry, the minority carrier lifetimes were evaluated by quasi-steady-state photo-conductance (QSSPC) measurement. The optical properties were obtained using a UV-visible spectrophotometer. The interface properties were determined by capacitancevoltage (C-V) measurement and the film components were identified by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and Rutherford backscattering spectroscopy detection (RBS) - elastic recoil detection (ERD). In hydrogen passivation, gas ratios of 1:1 and 1:3 show the best surface passivation property among the samples.

In this study, We investigated the properites of nano-emulsions containing hydrogenated lecithin prepared by high pressure homogenizer. The size of droplet of emulsions prepared by homogenizer at various rpm (rotation per minute) was not measured due to the unstability of emulsions, however, the size of droplet of nano-emulsions prepared by high pressure homogenizer was around 300 nm and the appearance of emulsions was bluish. The stability of emulsions with various lecithin concentration was tested against time. POV (Peroxide value) of emulsions were plotted against time. POVs of emulsions prepared with an egg lecithin and a soy lecithin were increased with time, however, POV of emulsion with Lecinol S-10® was kept constant within 60 hours and at 60℃. In consumer test, the nano-emulsion showed higher affinity regardless of skin type. Both of irritation scores of emulsions were similar.

It was certified the multi lamellar phase around the droplet of liquid crystal when observed the droplet particles through a polarization microscope. And it clinically was tested the effectiveness of moisturizing activity (in-vivo) compared with control sample (O/W emulsion). The effectiveness of moisturizing activity of PVB5-LC with Skincon-200EX after 6 hours went up 49.0% (p〈0.05, n=20) whereas the effectiveness of moisturizing activity of generally O/W emulsion cream was 25.7% (p〈005, n=20). Also, in case of Comeometer CM-825, the moisturizing activity of PVB5-LC after 6 hours rose 36.6% (p〈0.05, n=20) whereas the effectiveness of moisturizing activity of generally O/W emulsion cream was 10.8%. Therefore, it was known that the effectiveness moisturizing activity of PVB5-LC with HL was remarkably superior compared with O/W emulsion cream.

SiH4를 반응물질로 사용하여 electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(ECR-PECVD)로 실리콘 기판위에 증착한 수소화 비정질 실리콘(a-Si:H)으로부터 가시 photoluminescence(PL) 가 관찰되었다. a-si:H/Si로 부터의 PL은 다공질실리콘으로부터의 PL과 유사하였다. 급속열처리에 의해 500˚C에서 2분간 산소분위기에서 어닐링된 시편의 수소함량은 1~2%로 줄어들었고 시편은 가시 PL을 보여주지 않았는데 이는 a-Si:H의 PL과정에서 수소가 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 뜻한다. 증착된 a-Si:H의 두께가 증가함에 따라 PL의 세기는 감소하였다. SiH4를 사용하여 ECR-PECVD에 의해 Si상에 증착된 a-Si:H로부터의 가시 PL은 Si과 증착된 a-Si:H막 사이에 증착이 이루어지는 동안에 형성된 수소화실리콘으로부터 나오는 것으로 추론된다.

최근 전 세계적으로 석유 유래 합성 화장품 원료의 사용을 배제한 천연 화장품을 찾는 고객들이 계속적으로 증가하고 있지만 이러한 천연 화장품 중에서도 기능성을 소구하는 제품은 거의 없는 상황이다. 이는 천연 유래 원료 중에서 기능성이 검증된 원료가 거의 없을 뿐 아니라, 그러한 천연 기능성 원료들이 있다고 하더라도 그것들을 천연 원료만으로 안정한 제형을 유지하기가 매우 힘들기 때문이다. 본 연구는 난용성 천연 주름 기능성 물질인 올레아놀릭산을 천연 유래 수첨 레시틴을 이용하여 안정하게 가용화시키는 것에 관한 것이며, 유기농 화장품 인증이 가능한 가용화 제형의 처방을 개발하는 것을 목표로 하였다. 다른 합성 가용화제를 사용할 경우 45 ℃에서 2 ～ 3일 내에 올레아놀릭산의 석출이 관찰되었지만, 천연 유래 수첨 레시틴을 이용한 제형에서는 4주 동안 입자 크기의 큰 변화 없이 안정하게 유지되었다. 제형 내 올레아놀릭산의 함량은 25 ℃ 및 40 ℃에서 보관중인 샘플을 대상으로 24주간 측정하였는데, 두 온도에서 모두 90 % 이상을 보여주어 올레아놀릭산이 제형 내 분해 없이 안정하게 유지되는 것을 확인하였다. 또한 보습력 및 주름 개선 등의 임상시험을 통해 제품의 피부 효능과 안전성을 확인하였다.

오일/수첨 레시틴/물 계에서 전단력이 다른 두 혼합기로 제조된 나노에멀젼의 안정성에 대하여 연구하였으며, 계면활성제의 농도에 따른 나노에멀젼의 입자 크기와 안정성을 조사하였다. 입자의 크기는 광산란법에 의하여 측정하였으며 입자크기의 시간에 따른 변화를 관찰하였다. 실험 결과 나노 에멀젼 불안정화 과정은 Ostwald ripening에 의해 지배되었다. 입자 크기가 100 ∼ 200 nm 범위에서는 오일에 대한 계면활성제의 비율이 증가함에 따라 안정성이 감소하였으나 입자 크기가 300 ∼ 400 nm의 범위에서는 반대의 경향을 보였다.
