In this study sol-gel and combustion process was surveyed for the preparation of the red $Y_2O_3$: Eu phosphor, and the properties of phosphor was considered. Chelation and hydrolysis in amorphous citrate sol-gel process were completed in initial reaction stage, and water-forming condensation was superior to organic acid-forming condensation. The mole ratio of citric acid to metal ion had to be above to for the progress of sol-gel process. The dried gel powders are mostly amorphous, and crystallize completely at $700^{\circ}C$, and the crystallinity increases with increasing calcining temperature. The luminescence property of the phosphor was analyzed by measuring the emission spectra. The luminescence intensity increases when the calcination temperature and concentration of metal ions in solution increase.

Sol-gel process applied in this study was carried out by chelation of metal ions and citric acid. From the results of thermal gravimetric analysis and XRD analysis of gel powder obtained through sol-gel and heat treatment, gel powders are mostly amorphous, and crystallize completely at $900^{\circ}C$, and the crystalline structure of YAG increases with increasing calcinations temperature. Since YAG prepared by sol-gel & calcinations process was porous, and the sape and size was irregular and nonuniform, the shape and size of YAG powder had to be controlled. Therefore the effects of organic materials such as ethylene glycol and surfactant on the crystalline structure of YAG powder were investigated. Polyesterification of ethylene glycol and citric acid separated reaction area of metal ions in the solution and decreased the size of YAG primary particles. The addition of Igepal 630 as surfactant formed the droplet in the solution, and increased the size of primary particles which forms the aggregate of YAG In order to obtain monodispersed YAG particles of uniform size, gel powder prepared with organic materials had to be milled before calcination. And milling process was very important for obtaining YAG of uniform size.

Silica sol was prepared from the mixture of sodium silicate solution and oxidized silicate solution in which sodium had been removed by sol-gel process. The properties of sodium silicate solution and silicate solution thus prepared were characterized by yellow silicomolydate method. Moreover, the formation and growth of silica sol from sodium silicate solution was investigated. Sodium silicate solution with 2% of $SiO_2$ contains 95% of reactive silicate, and 50% of reactive silicate participates sol-gel reaction. From the results of FT-IR analysis, it was found that the intensity of silanol bond decreased and the intensity of siloxane bond increased with increasing reaction temperature. Zeta potential of silica sol prepared at each condition was -40~-60 mV and it could be known that silica sol in this study was well dispersed. The silica sol with 5~10 nm size could be prepared by heating the mixed solution of sodium silicate and silicate solution. And the silica sol grew into about 20 nm as silicate solution was added to silica sol solution.

Two kinds of colloidal silica(CS)/silane sol solutions were prepared in variation with synthesizing parameters such as kinds of CS, ratio of CS to silane and reaction time. Such sol solutions were obtained from 1034A Cs/methyl-trimethoxysilane(MTMS) and HSA CS/MTMS solutions. In the case of 1034A CS/MTMS CS/silane sol, coating film had high contact angle and more enhanced flat surface than those in the case of HSA CS/MTMS sol. In the case of thermal stability, thermal dissociation of 1034A CS/MTMS sol did not occur up to $550^{circ}$. The thickness of coating film obtained from 1034A CS/MTMS sol increased with increasing the amount of MTMS. The hardness of coating films obtained from 1034A CS/MTMS sol decreased with increasing the amount of MTMS. Surface free energy of CS/silane sol-gel coating film decreased with increasing amount of MTMS.

WO$_3$ 박막은 H$^{+}$이온이나 Li$^{+}$ 이온과 반응하여 H$_2$WO$_4$나 Li$_{x}$WO$_{3+x}$의 화합물을 이루고 파란색을 나타내는 효과를 보인다. 이러한 효과를 전기변색 (electrochromic) 효과라 한다. 이러한 전기변색효과를 이용하여 건축물의 창문을 통하여 들어오는 태양에너지와 빛의 양을 조절하는 윈도우를 제작하려는 국가적인 프로젝트가 미국, EU, 일본 등의 선진국에서 활발하게 진행되고 있다. WO$_3$ 박막을 제조하는 방법으로는 sputtering, CVD, 그리고 sol-gel coating 법 등이 있다. sputtering이나 CVD의 경우는 매우 균일하고 전기변색 특성이 좋은 박막을 제조할 수 있는 이점이 있지만 장치의 제조비가 비싸고 대형 패널을 제작하는 데에는 어려움이 있다. 솔-젤 코팅의 경우는 WO$_3$의 전구체인 솔을 합성하고 bath에 솔을 넣은 후 코팅하고자 하는 글라스 기판을 담갔다가 꺼내어 건조하고 열처리하는 간단한 방법으로 제조할 수 있는 장점이 있다. 솔-젤 코팅의 경우 제조비가 값싸고 대면적 코팅이 용이하다는 점이 다른 코팅 방법에 비하여 장점이라고 한 수 있다.다.다.

While consolidants based on tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) have been widely used for the consolidation of decaying stone heritages, TEOS-based consolidants suffer from practical drawbacks, such as crack formation of the gel during the drying phase due to the developed capillary force. We have prepared new TEOS-based consolidants containing flexible (3-glycidoxypropyl) trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) in order to reduce capillary force development during gel drying. In this study, we have prepared TEOS/GPTMS-based consolidants containing ETEOS in order to improve the surface hydrophobisity. The physical properties of the TEOS/GPTMS/ETEOS solution with different hydrolysis were compared with those of the commercial products Wacker OH$^{(R)}$. The contact angle of the surface increased with the addition of the ETEOS, which is higher than that of Wacker OH$^{(R)}$. The sol-gel mechanism was manipulated by the degree of hydrolysis as well as the amount of ETEOS. The properties and the applicability of the developed consolidants for the decayed Korean granites are also investigated.

The self-assembled monolayer coating of octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) on the silicon based MEMS was investigated and surface characteristics were considered as a function of coating conditions and reagent composition. The sulfuric peroxide mixture (SPM) solution was used to form -OH group which caused the hydrophilic characteristic on silicon surftce. Highest hydrophilicity was obtained by SPM solution with 85% acid content at room temperature. OTS was applied on the silicon surface by means of self-assembled monolayers (SAMs) coating. It was found that sol-gel reaction was took place between -OH group on the silicon surface and -Cl group in OTS. As a result, the contact angle increased due to the increase of hydrophobicity by Si-O bonding of SAMs. Sol-gel reaction could be controlled by coating conditions as well as reagent composition in OTS coating solution.

레이저 색소 분자간의 회합을 막음으로써 높은 레이저 효율을 갖는 고체 색소 레이저를 제조하기 위해 레이저 색소인 DCM을 유-무기 하이브리드 재료에 화학적으로 결합시켰다. 수산화기를 기능기로 갖는 DCM을 합성하여 이를 솔-젤반응의 전구체로 활용하였다. 유기실란을 DCM과 함께 솔-젤반응을 시킴으로써 DCM이 결합된 유무기 하이브리드 재료를 제조하였다. DCM이 결합된 유-무기 하이브리드 재료는 유기물과 무기물의 특성을 각각 갖고 있기 때문에 용액공정을 통해 고체 색소 레이저를 단시간에 제작할 수가 있을 뿐만 아니라 열적 및 광학적으로 우수한 특성을 보여주었다. Nd:YAG 레이저를 여기광으로 이용하여 DCM이 결합된 유-무기 하이브리드 재료의 레이저 효율을 측정하여 DCM을 유기용매에 녹인 색소 레이저의 레이저 효율과 비교하였다. DCM이 결합된 유-무기 하이브리드 재료는 DCM의 농도가 높아질 수록 유기용매를 이용한 색소 레이저에 비해서 더 높은 레이저 효율을 가지는 것을 관찰하였다. 이는 DCM이 결합된 유-무기 하이브리드 재료에 각각의 DCM 분자가 실록산 망목구조와 화학적으로 결합이 되어있기 때문에 하이브리드 재료에 안정적으로 존재할 수 있게 되고 망목구조에 둘러쌓여 분자간의 회합이 방지되는 효과를 가지게 되기 때문이다.
