The microstructure of bulk electrolytic MnO₂ (EMD) was studied using x-ray diffraction and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The bulk sample showed a typical powder x-ray diffraction pattern of EMD materials. TEM study showed that the structure of EMD is present at two length scales;grains, ∼0.2 ㎛ in diameter, and ∼10 nm crystallites within the grain. The electron beam microdiffraction study revealed that each grain is an assemblage of multiphase with a common crystallographic orientation, and_that ∼50% of the crystallites are Ramsdellite, ∼30% are ε-MnO₂, and ∼15% are Pyrolusite. The ｛1120｝peak located at about 67° in powder XRD pattern as well as a high-resolution electron microscope (HREM) image of (0001) plane support the existence of ε-MnO₂ phase.

In this paper it is reported that a comprehensive study of the crystal structure of the fine size S-phase ($Al_2CuMg$) precipitate in Al-Cu-Mg alloy by electron diffraction experiments. The experiments involve taking the selected area diffraction pattern for a S-phase particle, simulations of the pattern based on the kinematical diffraction theory and quantitative data collection from the zone axis diffraction patterns for the comparison with calculated diffraction intensity using both the kinematical and the dynamical diffraction theory. As a result, a good fitting model of the S-phase structure turns out to be the model reported early by X-ray methods (Perlitz & Westgren, 1943), not the new model determined by HRTEM methods (Radmilovic et al., 1999).

기후변화에 적응하기 위해 많은 나라들이 수자원 관리 전략을 마련하고 있으며, 대체 수자원 활성화 방안에 관심을 기울이고 있다. 본 연구에서는 대체 수자원 활성화 방안 중 빗물 저류지의 용량 결정 방법을 제시하고자 한다. 빗물 저류지의 용량을 결정하기 위해 메타 휴리스틱 방법 중 하나인 입자 군집 최적화(particle swarm optimization; PSO)를 선정하였다. 이는 기존 실제 설계에 사용되고 있는 시행착오법보다 시간을 단축시킬 수 있다. 최적화 모형은 python의 pyswarm package를 이용해 구성하였다. 모형의 입력자료는 저류지 유입량과 목표 공급량, 목표 보장률이고, 목적함수는 빗물 저류지 용량의 최소화이다. 제약조건은 모의된 보장률이 목표 보장률 이상을 달성하는 것이다. 여기서, 보장률은 전체 모의 기간 중 목표 공급량을 공급한 기간의 비율이다. 제시한 방법론의 적용성을 검토하기 위해 실제 저류지가 설계된 인천의 청라지구 1공구를 선정하여 적용하였다. 최적화 모형의 입력 유입량은 SWMM으로 산정된 1995년부터 2004년까지의 유출량이며, 목표 공급량은 실제 설계에 활용된 용수 목적별 요구 수량이다. 여기서 용수 목적별 요구 수량은 대상지역의 노면 청소수, 화장실 세정수, 호수 유지수 등이다. 산정 결과 계산 시간은 약 30초 소요되며, 목표 보장률을 만족하는 저류지 용량이 결정되었다. 본 연구에 제시한 방법은 제약조건이 추가되어도 기존 시행착오법에 비해 간편함을 확인하였다.

유화중합을 이용한 복합입자는 입자의 내외부 모두가 2종류 이상의 고분자물질로 조성된 유기-유기형과, 무기질 입자를 고분자물질로 피복한 무기-유기형 복합입자로 대별된다. 무기질의 분체와 유기질 고분자로 이루어지는 분산계 복합재료도 현재 실용화 되고 있는 복합재료중의 하나이지만 무기질 분체는 유기고분자와 그 성질이 현저히 다르기 때문에 소재간의 친화성, 복합체에서 무기분체의 분산상태 등이 복합재료의 물성 결정에 중요한 요인이 된다.(중략)

In this study, the effect of surface deposition of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles at polyethersulfone (PES) microfiltraiton (MF) membrane on humic acid fouling was investigated. The effect was observed as a function of crystal structures of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles and solution chemistries including pH and divalent cation such as calcium. Our results showed clearly that $TiO_2$-deposited membrane could mitigate membrane fouling significantly. However, this effect was observed to be dependent upon crystal structures of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles and solution chemistries. In the absence of calcium, fouling mitigation was less pronounced for both anatase and hybrid $TiO_2$-deposited membrane than for rutile $TiO_2$-deposited membrane while opposite trend was observed after addition of calcium. In the presence of calcium, the adsorption of humic acid to $TiO_2$-deposited membrane can be reduced by electrostatic repulsions between humic acid and $TiO_2$ surface. Addition of calcium provided further beneficial effect on fouling mitigation particularly at higher pH for the anatase $TiO_2$ deposited membrane, implying that both increased hydrophilicity due to $TiO_2$ nanoparticles and negative surface charge of the membrane should affect fouling mitigation. However, rutile $TiO_2$ having more inertness generally than the anatase $TiO_2$ showed relatively robust effect on the fouling mitigation regardless of solution properties.

A bath for electrodeposition of platinum nanoparitcles on low-cost graphite substrates was developed to attach nanoparticles directly onto a substrate, and electrochemical characteristics of the electrodeposition of platinum nanoparticles were investigated. The reaction mechanism was examined by the analysis of polarization behavior. Cyclic voltammetry measurements revealed that the elecrodeposition of platinum nanoparticles was limited by mass transfer. The chronoamperometric study showed an instantaneous nucleation mechanism during the electrodeposition of platinum nanoparticles on graphite. Because graphite is much cheaper than other carbon-based substrates, the electrodeposition of platinum nanoparticles on the graphite is expected to have useful applications.

Zirconia nanoparticles were synthesized by hydrothermal process, and experimental parameters such as reaction temperature, reaction time, kind and concentration of precipitator, kind of precursor were varied. Particle sizes and crystalline phases of each synthesized nanoparticles were analyzed with X-ray diffraction and FE-scanning electron microscope (SEM). The particle size and crystallization of zirconia increased with increasing concentration of precipitator. The growth rate of particle sizes when NaOH as a precipitator was used also increased more than that of KOH. Therefore, the use of KOH rather than NaOH was more effective in the control of particle sizes. An amorphous zirconia nanoparticle was found in 4 h of hydrothermal reaction, but the monoclinic zirconia nanoparticle was found in 8 h and over of hydrothermal reaction, and the width of nanoparticles was slightly slimmed and the length of nanoparticles was slightly extended with increasing reaction time. The smallest particle size was produced at the same synthesis condition when zirconium chloride among the precursors such as zirconium (IV) acetate, zirconium nitrate and zirconium chloride was used.

탄도충격에 의하여 파괴된 단결정 alumina의 파면조직을 광학 및 투과 전자현미경으로 연구 분석하였다. 파면의 주된 파괴 양상은 결정 입개면의 분리 또는 결정입내 파괴로 구성되어 있고 이러한 파괴과정은 복잡한 cleavage 양상과 결정입자 내에서의 소성변형을 수반하고 있다. 미세조직 관찰 결과에 의하면 alumina ceramics의 충격 파괴과정에서 에너지의 흡수가 국부적인 소성변형으로 나타나고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

In order to simulate the powder compaction process and to assess the effects of packing randomness and particle arrangement 2-dimensional model of rod array compaction using quasi-random multiparticle array is introduced. The elastic modulus of porous ceramics is computed by the homogenization method. With 3 Al₂O₃ and 3 Al particles the compaction processes associated with the porosities are simulated by the explicit finite element method, based on the elastic modulus found by the homogenization method. The simulation results are compared with both previous analytical ones and experimental measurements. Finally, in order to find the relationship between the friction coefficient of powder particles and the relative density, the sensitivity analysis is performed.

Synthesis of gold nanoparticles (NPs) made an aqueous environment via the reduction of HAuCl₄ by ascorbic acid (AC) with the surfactant of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP). Highly monodisperse gold particles with size ranges from 4 to 20 nm were prepared in high-yield by pH control. The synthesized gold nanoparticles were analyzed for structural and optical properties using transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and UV-vis spectroscopy. In this study, we could reveal that the prepared nanoparticles exhibited efficient surface-enhanced Raman scattering (SERS) properties, and their SERS activities depends on size.
