In this study, to improve the dispersity of $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles, dispersion properties were considered with various types of functionalization of $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles. Due to its high surface area, the electrically neutral state of its surfaces, and its magnetic momentum, $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles are easily aggregated in solution. In order to prevent aggregation, $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles were functionalized with carboxyl and amine groups in the form of a polymer compound. Carboxyl and amine groups were attached to the surface of $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles and the absolute value of the zeta potential was found to be enhanced by nearly 40 eV. Furthermore, the morphology and the magnetic property were analyzed for the application of $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles as a magnetic fluid.

The effects of the surfactant type, i.e., CTAB(cationic), SDS(anionic), and GA(polymeric), on the stability of 0.1 vol.% $Al_2O_3$ nanofluids were investigated. The changes in size and zeta potential of nanoparticles in nanofluids with pH, surfactant concentration, and time were experimentally observed. The nanofluids adding CTAB, which ionizes of the same charge with the bare particle surface, was found to have the best stability regardless of the surfactant concentration, whereas those with SDS became unstable under low surfactant concentration conditions, i.e. lower than the critical micellel concentration(CMC), before the charge reversal occurred. With higher SDS concentration over CMC, they became stable. Gum Arabic, which had been used often to stabilize the nanofluids, was also tested. In result, it was found that the type and concentration of surfactants to add should be selected considering pH and the sign of the bare particle surface charge.

In this work, the emulsified asphalt with high phase stability and storage stability was prepared by using phase inversion emulsification and the surfactant mixed with cationic and nonionic surfactants. It was found that the asphalt together with Span 20, nonionic surfactant and DDA (Dimethyl Dodecyl Amine), cationic surfactant showed the most stable phase. The phase stability of the emulsified asphalt, therefore, was investigated through the particle size with mixed surfactant content, rheology behavior and Zeta potential value; the particle size decreased with the increase of the mixed surfactant content but the viscosity increased. The shear thinning behaviors and the Zeta potential value with 50 mV~60 mV were shown, which was found to be considered stable. In addition, SBR latex(Styrene-butadiene-rubber) and water dispersed Epoxy (EPD) were used to enhance the physical properties of the emulsified asphalt. The swelling and adhesion features of the emulsified asphalt were also studied with $CaCO_3$, Silica, and Montmorillonite (MMT). It was shown that the addition of SBR latex and MMT can be another way to improve the physical properties of the emulsified asphalt in that the lowest swelling feature was found.

In this work, styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) and styrene butadiene styrene (SBS) were used to modify asphalt, resulting in SBR- and SBS-modified asphalt, respectively. The two modified asphalts were emulsified with a nonionic emulsifier (Span 60) and cationic emulsifiers (ID, DDA) and their phase stabilization was investigated via particle size, Zeta potential, and flow behavior analysis. With increasing amount of the mixed emulsifier, the particle size decreased, leading to an increase in viscosity. The shear thinning behaviors and Zeta potential values ranging from 35-65 mV were determined and remained considerably stable. In addition, the adhesion strength and compression strength of the SBR-and SBS-modified asphalt emulsion were evaluated via surface free energy examination. The remarkable adhesion and compression strengths were estimated when 5 phr ID and 6 phr DDA were added to the emulsified asphalt modified with SBR and SBS. Therefore ID and DDA, the two cationic surfactants, played significant roles in improving the dispersion and interfacial adhesion strength, resulting in the improved adhesion and compression strength of the emulsified asphalts modified with SBR and SBS.

In this study, we have for the first time applied fractional precipitation with hydrophilic polymer in order to decrease the particle size of the anticancer agent paclitaxel from plant cell cultures. When compared with the case where no hydrophilic polymer was employed, the addition of hydrophilic polymer in fractional precipitation resulted in a decrease in the size of the paclitaxel precipitate. Among the polymers used, HPMC 2910 was the most effective for inhibition of precipitate growth. A polymer concentration of 0.2% (w/v) obtained the smallest particle size. The particle size was reduced by ~35% compared to control. In addition, the precipitate size was inversely correlated with the absolute value of the zeta potential.

This study was to prepare the anionic liposomes which were to release anticancer drug (doxorubicin) at the hyperthermia temperature $({\sim}42^{\circ}C)$ and to stabilize in bovine serum solution at $37^{\circ}C$. The vesicle size and zeta potential of liposomes in Tris-HCl buffered solution (pH 7.4) were measured by an electrophoretic light scattering spectrophotometer. To estimate the stability of liposomes, liposome size was measured in bovine serum solution at $37^{\circ}C$ for 72 h. The release of doxorubicin from liposome was determined by measuring the fluorescence intensity using fluorescence spectrophotometry with temperature and time. The size of liposomes was from 120 to 160 nm and zeta potential was from $-33.3{\pm}2.4$ to $-75.6{\pm}6.9\;mV$. Anionic liposome was stabilized in bovine serum solution at $37^{\circ}C$ within 72 h. Additionally, the release transition temperature of doxorubicin from liposomes was increased by increasing mole % of anionic phospholipid.

100, 200nm 크기의 colloidal silica 각각에 나노 ceria 입자를 수열합성법으로 코팅하였다. Colloidal silica 입자에 ceria를 코팅 시 slurry의 pH조절과 수열처리에 이용하여 silica에 ceria가 코팅됨을 TEM과 zeta-potential을 이용하여 확인하였다. 연마 슬러리의 분산 안정성과 연마효율을 높이기 위하여 슬러리의 pH 는 9로 하였으며, 이때의 zeta-potential 값은 -25 mV이었다. 1 wt%로 제조된 연마슬러리를 이용하여, 4 inch $SiO_2$, $Si_3N_4$ wafer를 압력변화에 따른 연마특성을 관찰 하였다. Ceria coated colloidal silica 100 nm, 200 nm와 commercial한 $CeO_2$입자를 연마압력 6 psi로 oxide film을 연마한 결과 연마율이 각각 2490 ${\AA}/min$, 4200 ${\AA}/min$, 4300 ${\AA}/min$으로 측정되었다. 또한 $SiO_2$, $Si_3N_4$ film의 6 psi압력에서 ceria coated colloidal silica 100 nm, 200 nm와 commercial 한 $CeO_2$입자의 선택비는 3, 3.8, 6.7 이었다. 입자크기가 클수록 연마율이 높으며, Preston equation을 따라 연마 압력과 연마율이 비례하였다.

To find a practical application approach of polyelectrolyte multilayering (PEM) on inorganic filler, we introduced PEM process without washing step and investigated the effect of shear condition on the washless PEM treatment of ground calcium carbonate (GCC). Washless multilayering on GCC was conducted under various shear conditions such as stirring, homogenization, and ultrasonication. Highly charged polyelectrolytes combination of polydiallyldimethylammonium chloride (PDADMAC) and poly sodium 4-styrene sulfonate (PSS) and low charged polyelectrolytes combination with cationic starch and anionic polyacrylamide (PAM) were compared. In the case of highly charged polyelectrolytes combination, shear conditions did not affect the zeta potential and the particle size of treated GCC. However, the modified GCC particles with low charged polyelectrolytes were more dispersed under higher shear condition while maintaining the zeta potential. In addition, GCC was successfully modified through laboratory inline washless polyelectrolyte multilayering system which consists of homogenizers and pumps.

Allylaliphatic carboxylate oligomers were prepared from polymerization giving allyl aliphatic carboxylates in the presence of potassium persulfate in methanol and the ${\alpha}-sulfonation$ of these allyl aliphatic carboxylates oligomers were carried by direct addition of dry sulfur trioxide. The dispersing performance of oligomer type anionic surfactants and SDS in the aqueous suspension of $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ and $Tio_{2}$ particles were evaluated by particle size distribution and ${\zeta}-potential$ measurement. As results, the particles of $Fe_{2}O_{3}$ and $Tio_{2}$ were flocculated by addition of small amount of oligomer type anionic surfactants and SDS, then the flocks redispersed by more addition oligomer type anionic surfactants and SDS. The dispersion and flocculation were observed in lower concentration range of oligomer type anionic surfactants than SDS.
