이번 연구에서는 DC magnetron sputtering을 이용하여 타겟의 각도 변화를 주어 각도 변화에 따른 원자의 거동분석에 대해 수행하였다. 타겟의 각도가 증가할수록 비저항이 증가하고 있으며 40도의 각도의 약 600 nm의 두께에서 $5.5{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$로 나타났으며, 가시광선 영역에서 88%의 투과도를 보이는데 이는 타겟 각도에 따라 Ar 이온으로부터 나온 입자들에 의해서 플라즈마가 형성되면서 플라즈마 산란이 발생한 것으로 보며, 특히 비저항 감소와 달리 이동도 및 농도가 감소하는 형태를 보이는데 이는 Hall 측정을 통해 알 수 있다. 타겟 각도 변화는 결정 성장 방해에 영향을 주어 결정 크기는 감소하면서 스트레스로 인한 FWHM 증가가 이를 입증해 주고 있다.

$UO_2$ 및 CeO$_2$ 분말을 turbular mixer에서 혼합, 또는 attritor mill에서 분쇄한 후, 각 분말의 특성변화와 이에 따른 소결특성의 변화를 관찰하였다. 혼합된 분말은 평균입자크기와 비표면적이 각각 22.9$\mu\textrm{m}$, 5.1g/㎤이었고, 2시간 분쇄된 분말은 0.5$\mu\textrm{m}$, 6.7g/㎤이었다. 혼합분말로 성형할 경우의 소결밀도는 성형압력의 증가에 관계없이 약 9.6 g/㎤로서 매우 낮았고, 2시간 분쇄된 분말은 10.35 9/㎤ 이상으로 나타나, 혼합핵연료 소결체 제조시 분쇄공정이 반드시 필요함을 나타내었다. 분쇄된 분말을 환원성분위기에서 소결할 경우에는 분쇄시간이 증가함에 따라 결정립이 8$\mu\textrm{m}$까지 증가하였는데 이것은 CeO$_2$ 분말의 미세화와 함께 Ce 성분이 균질 하게 분포되었기 때문으로 사료된다. 그러나 산화성분위기에서는 분쇄시간이 증가할 때 평균 결정립크기는 6$\mu\textrm{m}$로서 변화가 거의 없었다.

Crude copper phthalocyanine (Cupc) was synthesized by Wyler process, then grounded using various methods such as acid pasting, kneader, attritor and SC-mill. Particle size, shape and crystalline structure were compared and evaluated after particle size reductions. Cupcs prepared by acid pasting and kneader methods that are excellent manufacturing processes in industry were used as our standards. Particle properties of Cupcs prepared either by attritor or by SC-mill were compared with particle size analyzer, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Particle size analyzer and SEM were used to analyze the variation of particle sizes of Cupc with milling time. Particle size was initially decreased up to the 90 min of milling time, thereafter it reversely began to increase in case of SC-mill. Cupc obtained from dry milling with attritor displayed strong cohesion so that particle size was not possible to determine with particle size analyzer. However, the optimum milling time was indirectly approximated from the analysis of XRD peak intensity.

Ships and marine structures have a lot of problems in their high maintenance and operating cost by biofouling. A biofouling occurrs by the adhesion of marine microorganism, algae and bacteria. In this study, the aim is to prevent or to reduce the biofouling phenomena through silver nano-particle coating on artificial light-weight aggregates and geopolymer. The antibacterial activity on them is tested according to ASTM E2149-2013a. The test results showed, it is estimated that silver nano-particles removed 99.99 % of bacteria. Specimens were set up in the sea side of field test area in Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST) and have been observed for five months. The anti-biofouling effect and difference in weight change rate have been detected two months later after the installation. Because silver nanoparticles inhibit bacterial growth and kill the cells by destroying bacterial membranes, silver nano-particle coating on artificial lightweight aggregates is a well-suited and eco-friendly method for preventing biofouling in the sea up to 5 months.

Using the Sedimentation method it's possible to get $TiO_2$ particle from which by this research, $TiO_2$ particle was produced. The parameter in the kind of the temperature and the alcohol solvent used $TiO_2$ particle production investigated crystal structure of $TiO_2$ particle and the influence exerted on the size of the particle and the form. After scanning electron microscope (SEM) analyzed methyl alcohol, iso-propylalcohol and tert-butylalcohol used by a solvent at the $TiO_2$ particle production, iso-propylalcohol was most effective. And after an thermogravimetric analyzer method was used, the anatase structure was maintained $500^{\circ}C$ by $200^{\circ}C$, but it was converted by the rutile structure by $800^{\circ}C$.

The concentration and hydrodynamic radius of nano-sized fluorescence particles diffusing in solution were compared by using fluorescence correlation spectroscopy (FCS), which can measure the variation of the correlation function of a fluorescence signal by size and number of particles. The used nano-sized fluorescence particles are Alex Fluor 647, quantum dots, and fluorescence beads, and three kinds of sample solutions with different concentrations were prepared by dilution to 1/10 and 1/100 with distilled water for each kind of particles. The effective focal volumes were calculated by using the known diffusion coefficient of Alexa Fluor 647 particles, and the diffusion time, number of particles in focal volume, and variation of concentration according to the dilution could be measured by the FCS system. Through this study, we determined that the concentrations of arbitrarily diluted sample solutions can be measured by a home-built FCS setup in the range of 0.1 nM ~ 10 nM and that the diffusion coefficient of the quantum dot was $27{\pm}1{\mu}m^2/s$.

If drugs are made from nanoparticles, their formulations can be more effective than the conventional ones. Especially, water insoluble drugs having low absorption rates into our body could show improvement in their adsorption and bioavailability by decreasing their particle sizes to nanometers. In this study, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) and various sugars were employed as stabilizers for the nanoparticles of a water insoluble drug, Itraconazole. Nanoparticles were successfully produced by the wet slurry process for five days. Then, spray drying converted the aqueous dispersions into dry powders, and the redispersibility of dried nanoparticles into water was investigated. The effects of temperature, pressure, and flow rate were studied to understand the importance of processing variables on redispersibility. It was found in particle size analysis that nanoparticles containing sugars have better redispersibility than those without sugars. Additionally, the mainly spherical morphology of dried nanoparticles was identified by SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy) and AFM (Atomic Force Microscopy).

In this study, we introduce the structural analysis of amorphous silica nanoparticles by EF-TEM electron diffraction and in-situ heating experiments. Three diffused rings were observed on the electron diffraction patterns of initial silica nanoparticles, while crystalline spot patterns were gradually appeared during the insitu heating process at $900^{\circ}C$. These patterns indicate the basic unit of $SiO_4$ tetrahedra consisting amorphous silica and gradual crystallization into the ideal layer structure of tridymite by heating. Under high vacuum condition in TEM, SiO nanoparticles were redeposited on the carbon grid after evaporation of SiO gas from $SiO_2$ above $850^{\circ}C$ and the remaining $SiO_2$ were crystallized into orthorhombic tridymite, consistent with ex-situ heating results in furnace at $900^{\circ}C$.

This paper reports the electrical conductivity and the stress-strain behavior of silver particle-filled silicone composite pastes for electromagnetic interference (EMI) shielding gasket materials. The percolation threshold (critical concentration) of the composite paste obtained by incorporating irregular sphere-shaped silver particles and room temperature vulcanizing (RTV) silicone resin was determined from the electrical conductivity result. At about 28 vol% Beading of untreated silver particles, the percolation phenomenon occurred and at this critical concentration, the volumetric resistivity, the tensile strength, and the elongation of the pastes were investigated. This work also suggests that the stress-strain characteristics of a composite paste filled with metal particles above the percolation threshold may be effectively improved by properly selecting a coupling agent.

Experimental study on effects of factors on the reaction crystallization of silver chloride in rushton type reactor. The size and size distributions of the silver chloride crystals were observed to be markedly affected by the agitation speed of solution, and feeding rate, feeding mode and concentration of reactants. From experimental data it was inferred that in the reaction crystallization of silver chloride the supersaturation level of silver chloride and concentration of excess ions in the solution, and mass transfer rate around the crystals were implicitly interrelated with factors and directly affected on the crystal nucleation and grwoth processes. However, the morphology of the silver chloride crystal was not changed by factors.
