실리카 지지체 위에 은 (silver) 나노 입자를 부착시키는 방법으로는 지지체 표면을 먼저 은입자와 친화성이 큰 amino(-NH2), mercapto(-SH), cyan(-CN) 등의 관능기로 표면처리 하는 방법이 일반적으로 사용된다. 구체적으로 설명하면 첫 단계로 지지체인 실리카입자의 표면을 아민으로 표면 처리 한다. 실리카 입자위에 부착된 아민관능기는 입자 생성의 단계에서 은 (silver) 나노 입자가 붙는 접촉점의 역할과 핵 생성 장소로서의 역할을 하게되고, 아민 관능기의 이런 역할로 실리카 입자 표면에 부착된 핵이 생장하여 입자가 됨으로써 최종적으로 은(silver) 나노 입자가 실리카 지지체위에 부착된 형태의 나노복합체가 형성된다. 분자량이 다른 PVP를 사용하여 제조한, NH2와 SH로 계면처리 된 은-실리카 나노복합체제조를 시도하였다. 사용되는 PVP의 분자량이 증가함에 따라 긴 고분자 사슬에 의하여 생성된 입체장애가 증가하게 되어, 은 핵의 성장에 대한 물리적 장벽이 증가하게 된다. 그러므로 고정화된 은 입자의 크기가 감소하게 된다. 이러한 형상은 NH2기 또는 SH기로 계면 처리된 실리카를 이용하여 제조된 은-실리카 나노복합체 입자들에서 모두 관찰되지만, SH기로 계면처리된 실리카를 사용할 경우 고정화된 은 입자의 수가 더욱 많고, 크기 역시 더욱 균일함을 알 수 있다.

As nanoscience and nanotechnology advance, techniques for selective pattern growth have attracted significant attention. Silica nanoparticles (NPs) are used as a promising nanomaterials for bio-labeling, bio-imaging, and bio-sensing. In this study, silica NPs were synthesized by a sol-gel process using a modified Stöber method. In addition, the selective pattern growth of silica NPs was achieved by the surface functionalization of the substrate using a micro-contact printing technique of a hydrophobic treatment. The particle size of the as-synthesized silica NPs and morphology of selective pattern growth of silica NPs were characterized by FE-SEM. The contact angle by surface functionalization of the substrate was investigated using a contact angle analyzer. As a result, silica NPs were not observed on the hydrophobic surface of the OTS solution treatment, which was coated by spin coating. In contrast, the silica NPs were well coated on the hydrophilic surface after the KOH solution treatment. FE-SEM confirmed the selective pattern growth of silica NPs on a hydrophilic surface, which was functionalized using the micro-contact printing technique. If the characteristics of the selective pattern growth of silica NPs can be applied to dye-doped silica NPs, they will find applications in the bio imaging, and bio sensing fields.

고온용 세라믹 쉘 몰드를 용융 알루미나와 콜로이달 실리카를 사용하여 제조한 후, 세라믹 쉘 몰드의 강도에 영향을 주는 요인을 분석하였다. 세라믹 쉘 몰드의 강도는 바인더의 실리카 입자의 크기가 작을수록 크며 또한 실리카 농도에 비례하여 증가함을 보이며 저온에서의 강도 발현은 콜로이달 실리카의 필름 형성에 의한 입자들의 결합임을 알 수 있었다. 세라믹 쉘 몰드의 소성 강도는 부착 스타코의 크기가 작을수록 크며 소성 온도에 비례하여 증가함을 보였다. 고온에서의 강도 발현은 알루미나 입자와 콜로이달 실리카 바인더의 결합뿐만 아니라 알루미나 입자사이의 결합도 영향을 줌을 알 수 있었다. 쉘 몰드의 결정상은 130$0^{\circ}C$이하에서 소성한 경우 $\alpha$-알루미나만 존재함을 보여 실리카는 비정질로 계속 남아 있음을 알 수 있고 140$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 소성한 경우 뮬라이트가 생성됨을 보였다.

Organic dye-doped silica nanoparticles are used as a promising nanomaterials for bio-labeling, bio-imaging and bio-sensing. Fluorescent silica nanoparticles(NPs) have been synthesized by the modified $St{\ddot{o}}ber$ method. In this study, dye-free fluorescent silica NPs of various sized were synthesized by Sol-Gel process as the modified $St{\ddot{o}}ber$ method. The functional material of APTES((3-aminopropyl)triethoxysilane) was added as an additive during the Sol-Gel process. The as-synthesized silica NPs were calcined at $400^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours. The surface morphology and particle size of the as-synthesized silica NPs were characterized by field-emission scanning electron microscopy. The fluorescent characteristics of the as-synthesized silica NPs was confirmed by UV lamp irradiation of 365 nm wavelength. The photoluminescence (PL) of the as-synthesized silica NPs with different size was analyzed by fluorometry. As the results, the as-synthesized silica NPs exhibits same blue fluorescent characteristics for different NPs size. Especially, as increased of the silica NPs size, the intensity of PL was decreased. The blue fluorescence of dye-free silica NPs was attributed to linkage of $NH_2$ groups of the APTES layer and oxygen-related defects in the silica matrix skeleton.

The present study investigated the immobilization of lipases on silica nanoparticles and silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles as supports with a functional group to enhance the stability of lipase. The influence of functional groups, such as the epoxy group and the amine group, on the activity and stability of immobilized lipase was also studied. The epoxy group and the amino group were introduced onto the surface of nanoparticles by glycidyl methacrylate and aminopropyl triethoxysilane, respectively. Immobilized Candida rugosa lipase on silica nanoparticles and silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles with a functional group showed slightly lower initial enzyme activities than free enzyme; however, the immobilized Candida rugosa lipase retained over 92 % of the initial activity, even after 3 times reuse. Lipase was also immobilized on the silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles by cross-linked enzyme aggregate (CLEA) using glutaraldehyde and covalent binding, respectively, were also studied. Immobilized Candida rugosa lipase on silica nanoparticles and silica-coated magnetite nanoparticles by CLEA and covalent binding showed higher enzyme activities than free enzyme, while immobilized Candida rugosa lipase retained over 73 % of the initial activity after 5 times reuse.

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.

Slurry used for polishing semiconductors processed by exchange, pressurization, and multi-step feeding has been studied to investigate the effect of the size and shape of slurry particles on the oxide CMP removal rate. First, spherical silica sol was prepared by the ion exchange method. The spherical silica particle was used as a seed to grow non-spherical silica sol in accordance with the multi-step feeding of silicic acid by the ion exchange and pressurization methods. The oxide removal rate of both non-spherical silica sol and commercially available slurry were compared with increasing average particle size in the oxide CMP. The more alkaline the pH level of the non-spherical silica sol, the higher was the removal rate and non-uniformity.

As part of planning for waste minimization, decontamination foam has been considered as a potential application for the cleaning of radioactive contaminant. In this study, we synthesized silica particles to improve foam stability by varying synthesis parameters. Cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) was found to influence the stability of the decontamination foam. The reason was that higher interaction between $SiO_2$ nanoparticles and surfactant at the air-water interface in aqueous solution is beneficial for foam stability. CTAB can also be used as an additive for the aggregation of silica nanoparticles. In the separation of $SiO_2$ nanoparticles, CTAB plays a critical role in the nanoparticles flocculation because of the charge neutralization and hydrophobic effects of its hydrocarbon tails.

Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) particles were prepared by soap-free emulsion polymerization of MMA in the presence of a cationic initiator, 2,2'-azobis(2-methylpropionamidine) (AIBA). The Stober method has been adopted to coat silica on the surface of these cationic particles. Negatively charged silica precursors were coated onto cationic particle surfaces by electronic interaction. During the coating process, hollow particles were directly obtained by dissolution of PMMA.

양자점은 전통적인 유기 염료에 비해 흡광영역이 넓고 발광 피크의 폭이 좁으며, 흡광과 발광 사이의 에너지 차가 커서 검출이 용이하고, 광안정성이 우수할 뿐만 아니라, 단순히 크기를 조절함으로써 발광 피크의 에너지를 제어할 수 있는 특장 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되었다. 그러나 많은 나노입자들과 마찬가지로 실질적인 응용을 위해서는 양자점 나노입자들도 대부분 표면개질을 거쳐야 하는데, 이 과정이 까다롭고 또 표면개질 중에 나노입자들의 응집이 일어나거나 광특성이 나빠지는 등의 문제가 흔히 발생한다. 한편, 서브미크론 크기의 입자들은 나노입자에 비해 응집현상이 미미해서 상대적으로 취급이 용이하다. 그 중에서도 실리카 입자들은 합성방법도 쉽게 확립되어 있고 생체친화성이 우수하며 그 표면화학 반응이 이미 잘 알려져 있어서 활용하기가 매우 용이하다. 따라서 양자점 층을 실리카 표면 가까이에 자기조립을 통해 배열한 하이브리드 구조는 양자점의 장점을 편리하게 이용할 뿐만 아니라 실리카의 표면개질 특성도 그대로 이용할 수 있다는 이중의 장점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 코어/쉘 구조로 안정화된 II-VI 반도체 양자점 층을 아래 그림 1과 같이 실리카 콜로이드 내에 배열한 하이브리드 구조를 소개하고, 이 하이브리드 구조를 표면개질 하여 LED 칩 위에 패키징 함으로써 백색광을 제조한 연구 및 더 나아가 중심에 초상자성 클러스터 핵을 배치하고 이를 둘러싼 실리카 콜로이드 표면 가까이에 양자점 층을 배열한 초상자성 하이브리드 구조를 합성하여 이를 on-site sensor에 적용한 연구 결과를 소개한다.
