Deodorization of natural zeolites have been improved not only for polar but also for non-polar pollutants by sucessive ion exchanges of H and Ag ions starting from Korean natural zeolite with high adsorption capacity. The modified zeolites with $TiO_2$ coating on the surface revealed high deodorization and photocatalytic decomposition effects. Further modification was made with $10{\sim}20nm$ silica nano particles coating on the surface, the resulting composite particles of $SiO_2/TiO_2/modified$ natural zeolite revealed not only comparable deodorization but also better durability and resisatnce to color change compared to the $TiO_2$/modified natural zeolite without much compensation of photocatalytic decomposition effect, when the composite particles were exposed to the polypropylene non-woven fiber coated with organic binder. It is expected for the composite particle prepared here to be used as indoor building materials for indoor air quality control.

$Y_2Ti_2O_7$ nanoparticles (0.3 mol%) have been successfully synthesized by the co-precipitation process. The samples, adjusted to pH7 with ammonia solution as catalyst and calcined at $700{\sim}900^{\circ}C$, exhibit very fine particles with close to spherical shape and average size of 10-30 nm. It was possible to control the size of the synthesized $Y_2Ti_2O_7$ particles by manipulating the conditions. The $Y_2Ti_2O_7$ nanoparticles were coated on a glass substrate by a dipping coating process with inorganic binder. The $Y_2Ti_2O_7$ solution coated on the glass substrate had excellent adhesion of 5B; pencil hardness test results indicated an excellent hardness of 6H. The thickness of the thick film was about $30{\mu}m$. Decomposition of MB on the $Y_2Ti_2O_7$ thin film shows that the photocatalytic properties were excellent.

This study is to investigate the wear behaviors of thermally sprayed ceramic coating by a pin-on-disk wear testing machine. The test specimens were plasma sprayed TiO2 coating material on carbon steel substrate(S45C) with Ni-4.5%Al alloy bond coating. Wear characteristics, friction coefficient and wear rates, were conducted at the three kinds of loads and velosities. Wear environments were dry and lubrication friction. The friction coefficients of TiO2 coating specimen in dry friction were almost same according to increase the friction velocity. The wear rate increased when the friction force is high. In lubrication friction, the wear hardly occured and friction coefficient was about 0.1. The adhesiveness of TiO2 in lubrication friction is larger than that in dry one.

This study formed a hard TiAlSiWN coating layer using Ti, Al, Si and W raw powders that were mechanically alloyed and refined. The TiAlSi and TiAlSiW coating targets were fabricated using a single PCAS process in a short time with the optimal sintering conditions. The coating targets were deposited on the WC substrate by forming coating layers using TiAlSiN and TiAlSiWN nitride nano-composite structures with an AIP process. The properties of the nitride nano-composite coating layers were compared according to the addition of W. The microstructure of the nitride nano-composite coating layer was analyzed, focusing on the distribution of the crystalline phases, amorphous phases ($Si_3N_4$), and growth orientation of the columnar crystal depending on the addition of W. The mechanical properties of the coating layers were exhibited a hardness of approximately $3,000kg/mm^2$ and adhesion of about 117.77N in the TiAlSiN. In particular, the TiAlSiWN showed excellent properties with a hardness of more than $4,300kg/mm^2$ and an adhesion of about 181.47N.

고효율 염료감응형 태양전지(DSSC, Dye-Sensitized Solar Cell)의 구현을 위해서 유용한 방법중 하나는 정렬된 기공 (pore)을 $TiO_2$막 내에 형성시키는 것이다. 메조포러스 (mesoporous) $TiO_2$막은 dip coating이나 spin coating과 같은 방법으로 주로 증착되고 있으며, P123이나 F127과 같은 amphiphilic triblock copolymer를 메조포러스 구조를 만들기 위한 뼈대로 사용하고 있다. 또한, 이렇게 생성된 구조에서 amphiphilic triblock copolymer는 열처리 공정을 통하여 쉽게 제거될 수 있다. 고효율 태양전지를 구현하는 또 다른 방법으로는 패턴 된 기판을 사용하는 것이다. 패턴 된 기판은 빛의 반사를 억제하여 흡수율을 높이는 역할을 한다. 그러나 패턴 된 기판 위에서 메조포러스 $TiO_2$막의 형성에 관한 연구는 부족한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 spin coating 방법으로 패턴 된 Si (111) 기판 위에 메조포러스 $TiO_2$를 성장하고 그 미세구조를 분석하였다. 패턴 된 기판은 nanosphere lithography(NSL) 법으로 mask를 증착한 후 건식 식각 (dry etching) 공정을 통해서 제작되었으며, 마스크와 불순물 등 은 초음파 세척 등으로 제거되었다. 메조포러스 $TiO_2$막은 1-propanol, P123, titanium isopropoxide와 HCl을 섞어 만든 용액으로 1 cm${\times}$1 cm 기판 위에 3000 rpm과 4000 rpm으로 각각 증착하였으며, 5일 동안 4도에서 에이징한 후 350도에서 3시간 열처리하였다. 이렇게 형성한 메조포러스 막의 형상과 미세구조적 특성이 주사전자현미경(SEM, scanning electron microscope), X-선 회절(XRD, X-ray diffraction) 등을 이용하여 연구되었다. 특히, 증착 조건에 따른 메조포러스 $TiO_2$박막의 형성 기구에 관한 고찰이 진행되었다. 나아가, $TiO_2$박막과 패턴 사이에 형성되는 계면 구조에 관한 연구를 투과전자현미경을 이용하여 진행하였다.

Enhancement of the surface hydrophobicity of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) thin films deposited on substrates covered with titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) nanospheres was studied. First, a low-temperature solution-phase method using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a surface capping agent and a water/dimethylformamide (DMF) mixture as the reaction medium was used to synthesize monodisperse $TiO_2$ nanospheres. It was possible to easily control hydrolysis rate of the Ti-precursors and the size of the synthesized nanospheres by varying the amount of PVP and the volume ratio of the solvent mixture. Spray coating of the synthesized $TiO_2$ nanospheres under the PDMS film increased the water contact angle of the film surface to $150.3^{\circ}$. This simple treatment can modify the surface morphology at a nanometer scale without any long or complicated nanoprocess; hence, the surface enters the superhydrophobic Cassie-Baxter regime.

In this work, we have fabricated the $TiO_2$ thin films on Si and glass, polymer insulator substrates as the self-cleaning coating of polymer insulator. $TiO_2$ films were deposited by RF magnetron sputtering method with $TiO_2$ ceramic target and $TiO_2$ films of 100 nm thickness were fabricated with various RF powers. We have investigated the optical and surface, and structural properties of $TiO_2$ films prepared with various RF powers. As a result, the value of the contact angle of $TiO_2$ thin film is increased with increasing RF power and the value of the rms surface roughness is increased. The transmittance is decreased with increasing RF power. These results indicate that the variation of the surface and optical properties of $TiO_2$ thin films is related to the sputtering effects by increasing RF power.

Photoelectrochemical decomposition of water by the irradiation of light to the $TiO_2$ thin film soaked in water was observed. The $TiO_2$ thin film was coated on top of $SnO_2$ nesa glass by use of spray method and of dip-coating method. The spray technique of $SnO_2$ nesa film production and dip-coating technique of $TiO_2$ thin film preparation on top of the $SnO_2$ nesa film were discribed briefly. $TiO_2$ film appearance was observed by SEM and I-V characteristic curve were measured for the various thickness of $TiO_2$ film. The film Thickness $1.8{\mu}m$ showed the maximum photoelectric current. Xe-lamp was used as light source for the photoelectrochemical reaction of thin film $TiO_2$ in acidic water(pH=1)

Multilayer NbCxC1-x/Y2O3/Ti were sputter-coated on the alumina substrate, starting with a 0.7 ㎛ thick NbCxC1-x layer grown on substrate, followed by 0.7 ㎛ thick Y2O3 layer and 1 ㎛ thick Ti layer. To find out the optimum conditions for thickness uniformity and adhesion, sputtering works have been done with the variation of sputtering power and Ar pressure. After vacuum annealing at 950℃ and 1000℃, the thermal stability of the NbCxC1-x/Y2O3/Ti coated alumina substrates has been investigated by peel off test. The coating scheme didn't cause any debonded layer after an annealing at 950℃ for 3hrs. However, it was peeled off after annealing at 1000℃ for 3hr. It was found that the thermal stability of Al2O3/NbCxC1-x/Y2O3/Ti coating scheme changed with the NbCxC1-x composition.

The development of colored surface on zinc coating by the oxidation of a melten alloy of zinc with a minor amount of oxygen-avid additive such as tianium has been studied. Using a galvanizing Zinc alloy containing 0.1 to 0.3wt%Ti, gold, purple or blue color was developed clearly and stably, depending upon the extent of oxidation, by air cooling after hot dipping in a bath at temperature of $550^{\circ}C$ to $600^{\circ}C$. The source of the color is light interference with surface oxide layer. THe final color depends on the thickness of the color depends on the thickness of $TiO_2$, played So compositing, temperature and time at elevated temperature after are all controlling variables. Since oxidation film such as $TiO_2$ played role of passivation film, the corrosion resistance in a colored galvanized steel sheet. It is also thought that surface oxide layer of $TiO_2$ inhibited dissolution of the coating layer.
