가스센서는 사내 및 산업 환경에서의 유독성 또는 폭발성 가스 검출, 환경 모니터링, 질병 진단 등 매우 다양한 응용분야에서 큰 관심을 가지고 있다. 반도체 금속산화물(SMOs) 기반의 센서 분야에서는 이들의 감도 및 선택성을 향상시키기 위해 많은 노력을 기울이고 있다. 이는 센서의 선택성을 부여하게 되면 다양한 가스들이 존재하는 환경에서도 검출자가 원하는 가스만의 응답을 얻을 수 있기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 MOF(Metal-Organic Framwork) 기반 멤브레인으로 ZIF-8(Zeolitic Imidazolate Frameworks 구조들 중 하나) 멤브레인 쉘 층을 이용하여 ZnO 나노선에 형성하였다. ZnO 나노선은 VLS공정 (Vapor-Liquid-Solid)을 이용하여 패턴된 전극을 갖는 $SiO_2$-grown Si 웨이퍼 상에 성장되었고, 성장된 ZnO 나노선은 2-methyl imidazole과 methanol이 포함된 고용체에 넣고 폐쇄된 압력용기 속에서 가열시켜 얻게 된다. 이렇게 얻어진 ZIF-8@ZnO 나노선의 ZIF-8 멤브레인은 분자 체 구조(molecular sieving structure)를 갖게 되며, 이들의 pore 크기는 약 $3.4{\AA}$을 갖는다. 따라서 이보다 더 큰 동적 직경을(kinetic diameter) 갖는 가스 종은 이 멤브레인을 통과할 수 없음을 나타내므로 제작된 시편은 $H_2$(kinetic diameter : $2.89{\AA}$), $C_7H_8$(kinetic diameter : $5.92{\AA}$), 그리고 $C_6H_6$(kinetic diameter : $5.27{\AA}$) 가스들을 각각 사용함으로써 ZIF-8@ZnO 나노선의 센서 특성을 조사했으며, 보다 정확한 비교를 위해 순수한 ZnO 나노선 역시 동일한 조건에서 측정되었다. 결과를 통해, 수소 가스를 제외한 다른 가스들에 대해서는 반응을 하지 않고, 오직 수소 가스에 대해서만 반응을 나타냈으며, 순수 ZnO 나노선의 수소 감응도보다 낮은 감응도를 나타내었다. 이는 멤브레인 쉘 층을 형성함으로써 ZnO 나노선의 표면적이 감소해 가스 분자와의 접촉점을 감소시키기 때문이라고 판단된다. 이와 같은 MOF 멤브레인의 캡슐화 전략은 가스센서뿐 아니라 바이오 센서 및 광촉매 등과 같은 이온 선택성을 필요로 하는 다양한 응용분야에 적용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Poly(${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone) nanocapsules(nanoPCL) containing phytoncide oil were synthesized by emulsion diffusion method using ethyl acetate as organic solvent. The influence of the degree of hydrolyzation of poly(vinyl acohol) used as an emulsion stabilizer, and the different weight ratio of core material to wall material on the particle size, morphology, and emulsion stability was investigated to design nanocapsules. The encapsulated nanoPCL were characterized by FT-IR spetrometry, Scanning electron microscope, Differential scanning calorimetry, and Thermogravimetry analysis, respectively.

최근에 Fe-CU, Fe-Si 등과 같이 자성금속과 비자성금속화합물에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 기계적 합금법으로 제작한 Co/sub 5/C/sub 95/ 나노미립상 합금의 구조와 자기적 성질을 조사하였다. 그림(1)은 EXAFS 스펙트럼의 푸리에변환이다. 이로부터 합금화시간에 따라 Co-Co 결합은 점차적으로 작아지며 Co-C 결합이 진행됨에 알수 있다. 그림(2)은 합금화시간에 따른 포화자화값과 보자력의 크기이다. 포화자화는 합금화 시간에 따라 연속적으로 작아졌으며 보자력은 커지다가 작아지는 경향을 보였다. 포화자화가 작아지는 것은 Co-C 결합이 생기면서 Co의 쌍을 이루지 않은 전자가 C의 전자와 쌍을 이루면서 상쇄되기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 보자력의 거동은 Co 미립자가 다자구영역으로부터 단자구영역으로 전환되기 때문인 것으로 해석될수 있다. Co 미립자는 C의 캡슐형에 싸여있으며 60시간과 100시간에서 Co 미립자의 크기는 X-ray 회절선의 넓어짐으로부터 Scherrerr 공식을 이용하여 계산한 결과 18nm 와 15nm 정도가 됨을 알 수 있었다. 연구를 통하여 Co/sub 5/C/sub 95/ 나노미립상합금을 기계적합금법으로 만들 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. 이론적인 계산에 의하면 초상자성 Co 입자의 크기는 8.2nm 정도가 되었으며 본 실험에서 최종 입자의 크기는 15nm까지 작아졌다.

Oil in water nanoemulsion of astaxanthin was prepared by high pressure homogenization. The emulsifying conditions including emulsifier type, concentration and astaxanthin concentration were optimized. Stability of nanoemulsion was measured using zetasizer, freeze-fracture scanning electron microscope (FF-SEM), particle analyzer and colorimeter. The mean diameter of the dispersed particles containing astaxanthin ranged from 160 to 190 nm. Size distribution was unimodal and extended from 40 to 200 nm. The nanoemulsion prepared by glyceryl citrate/lactate/linoleate/oleate had smaller particle size and narrow size distribution. Stable incorporation of astaxanthin in nanoemulsion was performed and checked using high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), freeze-fracture scanning electron microscope (FF-SEM). Physical stability of nanoemulsion was not significantly changed during storage at both light and thermal condition for a month with zeta potential value of -41 mV meaning stable colloid.

Oil-in-water nanoemulsions of astaxanthin prepared by new vesicle, glyceryl citrate/ lactate/ linoleate/ oleate, were evaluated thoroughly in terms of cosmeceutical properties such as antioxidant effect, cell viability, influence of protein related enzyme, skin penetration, skin hydration and elasticity. Antioxidant effect and cell viability of nanoemulsion of astaxanthin were evaluated by DPPH and MTT assay. Also other properties of nanoemulsions of astaxanthin were measured by proteome analysis using 2D-PAGE, confocal laser scanning microscope and in-vivo test. We were able to find that the nanoemulsion of astaxanthin is good at scavenging of radical and inhibits the degradation of dermal extracellular matrix with the down-regulation of MMPs and other proteins related to MMP expression. CLSM was adopted for observing penetration of nanoemulsion of astaxanthin and showed high effective penetration rate compared to the nanoemulsion of astaxanthin prepared by conventional lecithin. In-vivo measurement of the nanoemulsions in hydration and elasticity were conducted to 11 Korean female adults for 28 days and showed better results.

In this study, nano-sized poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) particles containing lavender oil as a core material were prepared by using emulsification-diffusion method. Effects of experimental parameters on the characteristics and the release behavior were examined with a field emission- scanning electron microscope, an electrophoretic light scattering spectrophotometer, a visible spectrophotometer and a high performance liquid chromatography The resulting aromatic particles could be prepared in nano-sized globular shapes with the mean particle size of 224 nm by controlling the experimental conditions. From the evaluation of release properties of aromatic PVAc nanoparticles with or without PVA coating, it was found that the aromatic particles coated with PVA show more sustaining and stable release behaviors. Our research on aromatic PVAc nanoparticles could be applied for durable fragrant finishing for textiles, leather products and so on.

Owing to the superior optoelectronic properties, halide perovskites have emerged as next-generation materials for display application. In this study, we reported a novel route for CsPbBr₃ calcination into porous SiO₂ nanoparticles to overcome the stability issues of halide perovskite via a spatial confinement of crystal growth within SiO₂ pores. The resulting CsPbBr₃-SiO₂ nanoparticles exhibited the photoluminescence (PL) emission peak at 515 nm under optimal calcination condition. In several polar solvents, PL properties of CsPbBr₃-SiO₂ nanoparticles was maintained owing to the enclosed pores during calcination process, suggesting their promising application for display color conversion film.

The objective of this study was to investigate the influence of emulsion processing with various homogenization treatments on the physical properties of nanoparticles. For the manufacturing of nanoparticles, by taking the emulsion-diffusion method, various coating materials, such as gum arabic, hydroxyethyl starch, polycarprolactone, paraffin wax, ${\kappa}$-carrageenan and emulsifiers like Tween$^{(R)}$60, Tween$^{(R)}$80, monoglyceride and Pluronic$^{(R)}$F68, were added into the emulsion system. Furthermore, the various speeds (7,000 rpm to 10,000 rpm), and times (15 s to 60 s) of homogenization were treated during the emulsion- diffusion process. NEO II homomixer was the most effective homogenizer for making nanoparticles as 51 nm ($D_{10}$) and 26 nm ($D_{50}$). To manufacture smaller nanoparticles, by using NEO II homomixer, 10,000 rpm of agitation speed, polycaprolactone as coating material, and Pluronic$^{(R)}$F68 as an emulsifier were the optimum operating conditions and components. For the stability of nanoparticles for 7 days, $20^{\circ}C$ of storage temperature was appropriate to maintain the particle size. From these results, the type of homogenizer, homogenization speed, homogenization time and storage temperature could affect the particle size. Moreover, type of coating materials and emulsifier also influenced the size and stability of the nanoparticles.

This study focuses on the role of nanotechnology in the field of food industries. Bioactive components with antimicrobial activity against food pathogens are encapsulated into nanoparticles (NPs) to improve and extend their efficiency in food preservation. However, these NPs should be biocompatible and nontoxic for humans. Advancement in this field has resulted in the development of NPs for food packaging in some industries. The most commonly used group of NPs in the food industry is metal oxide. As metal oxide NPs such as zinc oxide and titanium dioxide exhibit antimicrobial activity in food materials, the NPs can be used for food preservation with enhanced functional properties. The application and effects of nanotechnology in correlation with the nutritional and sensory properties of foods were briefly discussed with a few insights into safety regulations on nano-based food formulation and preservation.
