We examined the effect of ionic liquid on the crystallization efficiency of vancomycin in an increased surface area crystallization with silica gel. The crystallization efficiency was improved by the addition of ionic liquid, [BMIm][$BF_4$]. The addition of ionic liquid (20%, v/v) on the increased surface area crystallization with silica gel dramatically reduced the crystallization time by 6 folds (4 h), compared with the results of the case where the surface area-increasing material and ionic liquid had not been added. In addition, the crystal size of vancomycin was decreased and the crystal quality of vancomycin was improved by increasing the addition of ionic liquid.

W/Si의 조성비가 2.6인 CVD텅스텐 실리사이드를 어닐링처리 하지 않고 바로 wet oxidation하여 polycide구조에서 다결정 실리콘 내의 인의 농도가 실리사이드의 산화반응 속도에 미치는 영향을 조사하여 직선-포물선적 속도법칙을 토대로 하여 분석 조사하였다. 텅스텐 실리사이드의 산화속도는 다결정 실리콘 내의 도편트 인의 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 직선적 속도상수와 포물선적 속도상수 모두 인의 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 직선적 속도상수에 대한 활성화 에너지는 인의 농도가 증가함에 따라 감소하였으나 포물선적 속도상수에 대한 활성화 에너지는 인 농도와 무관한 것으로 나타났다.

실리카 나노입자를 분산시킨 기능성 코팅 소재를 개발하였다. 본 기능성 코팅 소재는 마그내슘 판재에 적용하여 내스크래치 및 내부식성을 향상시키기 위한 것이다. 최근 마그네슘 판재는 스마트 폰 및 이동통신 기기의 외장재소재로 각광을 받고 있다. 그러나 표면의 기계적 강도가 약하고, 특히 수분에 의한 부식이 심각하여 사용에 많은 제한을 받고 있다. 본 연구에서는 실리카 나노입자가 분산된 유무기 하이브리드 코팅을 적용하여 기계적 강도 및 내부식성을 향상하고자 하였다. 분산하는 나노입자의 크기를 달리하여 코팅층으로부터 각각 다른 물리적 화학적 특성을 유도할 수 있었다. 각 코팅 층의 특성은 연필경도, 기판 휨 각도, 그리고 electrochemical impedance spectroscopy 등을 이용하여 평가하였고, 최종적으로 휴대폰 신뢰성 평가 기법을 적용하여 상용화 적용성도 평가하였다.

ESCO 관리자교육(국제세미나)에서 CCI(Clinton Climate Initivative)의 아시아 지역 매니저 크리스토퍼 실리의 발표가 있었다. 그는 CCI에서 세계 40개 도시를 무대로 진행하고 있는 빌딩 개조 프로그램에 대해서 설명했다. 이 프로그램은 ESCO에서 중요시되는 합리성과 효율성이라는 두 가지 키워드와 맞물리면서 점점 시장을 확장시켰다. 특히 아직 ESCO 사업에 대한 인식이 부족한 아시아 국가에서 사업을 진행하는 것은 불모지에서 가능성을 발견하는 과정이었을 것이다. 낙후된 빌딩에서 발생할 수 있는 에너지 손실과 이산화탄소 배출을 분석하고 이를 토대로 최적의 공정을 제시하고 있는 CCI의 사업을 크리스토퍼 실리의 발표 자료를 바탕으로 소개한다.

WeI have studied the process for synthesizing porous silica with a specific surface area of minimum $800m^2/g$ by adding surfactant [Poly Etylene Glycol(PEG) and Hydroxy Propyl Cellulose(HPC)] to the sol-gel reaction between sodium silicate and hydrochloric acid. NaCl, the by-product of the sol-gel reaction, was water cleaned and removed; when 200 ml of water was used to clean 50 g of silica gel, NaCl remaining in the silica gel was reduced to maximum 0.81wt%. The appropriate level of surfactant for silica gel synthesizing proved to be below 5%. As a result of the experiment, for the silica synthesized by adding surfactant of HPC(2.5%)+PEG(2.5%), the surfactant area was $860m^2/g$ and grain size was $20-50{\mu}m$. From this study, we have concluded that it is of industrial significance that specific surface area is improved and silica of a regular grain size is obtained just by adding surfactant in the gel process or drying process of silica.

Inorganic-organic hybrid material such as vinyl-nano sized silica ball was synthesized by acrylo-alkoxysilane and nano silica ball with different particle size. And then they were formulated into acrylic-melamine clearcoat. This material is fully characterized with various analytical methods and applied for strength measurement. The glossy effect, matting effect and anti-scratching properties of materials were investigated for further growth and maintenance. When the particle size of nano silica ball is 20~30 nm, the glossy retain effect was increased by 7% compared to bare acrylic-melamine clearcoat. When a commercially available silica Aerosil 200 (Hydrophilic fumed silica, average particle size 12 nm, Degussa) react with vinyl alkoxysilane vinyl-fumed silica complex form. The vinyl-fumed silica along with clearcoat increases only 2% increase at glossy retain. Nano-scratch test results also support the glossy retain effect of vinyl nano-sized silica ball in clearcoat.

In this study, we performed surface modification of silica nanoparticles with bis[3-(triethoxysilylpropyl)]tetrasulfide (TESPT) silane coupling agent to study the effects of treatment temperature, treatment time, and amount of TESPT used on the silanization degree with Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), thermogravimetric analysis (TGA), elemental analysis (EA) and solid state $^{13}C$ and $^{29}Si$ cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR). We found peak area of isolated silanol groups at $3747cm^{-1}$ decreased, but peak area of $-CH_2$ asymmetric stretching of TESPT at $2938cm^{-1}$ increased with the amount of TESPT from FTIR measurements. We also used universal testing machine (UTM) to study mechanical properties of styrene butadiene rubber (SBR) nanocomposites with 20 phr (parts per hundred of rubber) of pristine and TESPT modified silicas, respectively. The tensile strength and 100% modulus of modified silica/SBR nanocomposite were enhanced from 5.65 to 9.38MPa, from 1.62 to 2.73 MPa, respectively, compared to those of pristine silica/SBR nanocomposite.

A new one-shot process was employed to fabricate proton exchange membranes (PEMs) over conventional solvent-casting process. Here, PEMs containing nano-dispersed silica nanoparticles were fabricated using one-shot process similar to the bulk-molding compounds (BMC). Different components such as reactive dispersant, urethane acrylate nonionmer (UAN), styrene, styrene sulfuric acid and silica nano particles were dissolved in a single solvent dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) followed by copolymerization within a mold in the presence of radical initiator. We have successfully studied the water-swelling and proton conductivity of obtained nanocomposite membranes which are strongly depended on the surface property of dispersed silica nano particles. In case of dispersion of hydrophilic silica nanoparticles, the nanocomposite membranes exhibited an increase in water-swelling and a decrease in methanol permeability with almost unchanged proton conductivity compared to neat polymeric membrane. The reverse observations were achieved for hydrophobic silica nanoparticles. Hence, hydrophilic and hydrophobic silica nanoparticles were effectively dispersed in hydrophilic and hydrophobic medium respectively. Hydrophobic silica nanoparticles dispersed in hydrophobic domains of PEMs largely suppressed swelling of hydrophilic domains by absorbing water without interrupting proton conduction occurred in hydrophilic membrane. Consequently, proton conductivity and water-swelling could be freely controlled by simply dispersing silica nanopartilces within the membrane.

Bifunctional silane (TESPD) is added into silica filled SBR compound and its effects with respect to the vulcanization properties, the processability, and the physical properties are investigated. The addition of the TESPD into silica filled SBR compound increases the degree of crosslinking by formation of a strong 3-dimensional network structure with silica surface via coupling reaction, which results in an improved mechanical property. It also improves the processabilities compared to the Control compound.

X-ray powder diffraction is one of the most powerful techniques for qualitative and quantitative analysis of crystalline compounds. Thus, there exist a number of different methods for quantifying mineral mixtures using X-ray diffraction pattern. We present here the use of Rietveld and PONKCS (partial or no known crystal structure) methods for quantification of amorphous and crystallized mineral phases in synthetic mixtures of standard minerals (amorphous silica, quartz, mullite and corundum). Pawley phase model of amorphous silica was successfully built from the pattern of 100 wt% amorphous silica and internal standard-spiked samples by PONKCS approach. The average of absolute bias for quantities of amorphous silica was 1.85 wt%. The larger bias observed for lower quantities of amorphous silica is probably explained by low intensities of diffraction pattern. Averages of absolute bias for minerals were 0.53 wt% for quartz, 0.87 wt% for mullite and 0.57 wt% for corundum, respectively. The PONKCS approach achieved improved quantitative results compared with classical Rietveld method by using an internal standard.
