나노복합재료는 기계적, 전기적, 전자기적 특성을 향상하거나 새로운 기능을 갖는 신소재를 제조할 수 있는 가능성으로 인하여 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 우수한 특성을 갖는 나노복합재료의 제조에 있어서 주의할 점은, 나노복합재료가 다른 세라믹재료에 비하여 제조공정에 민감하게 영향을 받는다는 것이다. 출발원료, 혼합방법, 건조방법 등의 선택에 따라서 특성이 향상될 수도 있고 역으로 저하될 수도 있다. 이러한 현상은, 초미립자의 비표면적이 크기 때문에 균일한 분산이 어렵고 응집이 발생하기 쉽기 때문이라 생각된다. $Si_3N_4/SiC$ 나노복합재료의 경우는 고온강도와 열피로에 대한 저항성이 획기적으로 향상되어 $1400^{\circ}C$ 이상에서도 사용할 수 있는 초고온재료로로서의 가능성을 갖고 있다. 그러나 이러한 나노복합재료의 실용화를 위해서는 제조공정이 단순하고, 경제성이 있는 신 공정의 개발과 GPS 소결 등에 관하여 보다 많은 연구가 필요하다. 그러나 계속적인 환경오염에 관한 국제적 규제의 강화, 국제 원유가의 상승 등은 열기관의 열효율 향상을 위해서 초고온에서 사용할 수 있는 나노복합재료와 같은 재료를 요구할 것이며, 또한 정보통신산업 발전에 따른 소형화, 고 기능화는 우수한 특성과 새로운 기능을 갖는 나노복합재료의 개발과 실용화를 앞당기는 계기가 될 것으로 생각된다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of Makgeolli (MG) and Makgeolli GiGemi (MGG) on blood flow, serum lipid improvement in vivo, and inhibition of angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) in vitro. The activities of serum AST and ALT were increased by ovariectomy. Serum AST levels were decreased to $77.71{\pm}13.97$ and $74.57{\pm}14.90\;unit/ml$ in the OVX-MG50 and OVX-MGG50 groups compared to the OVX-control group ($91.14{\pm}12.02\;unit/ml$). Serum ALT levels were decreased to $34.00{\pm}8.41$ and $30.43{\pm}3.60\;unit/ml$ in OVX-MG50 and OVX-MGG50 groups compared to the OVX-control group ($37.14{\pm}5.40\;unit/ml$). Serum total cholesterol and triglyceride contents decreased in the sham group compared with OVX-control group by ovariectomy. Six weeks feeding of MG and MGG resulted in a decrease to $116.14{\pm}36.02$ and $109.14{\pm}11.55\;mg/dl$ compared to the OVX-control group ($120.43{\pm}8.36\;mg/dl$) in serum total cholesterol, and triglyceride levels were decreased to $52.43{\pm}12.41$ and $47.29{\pm}12.08\;mg/dl$ in the OVX-MG50 and OVX-MGG50 groups compared to the OVX-control group ($58.57{\pm}5.47\;mg/dl$). The level of HDL-cholesterol in the OVX-control group was significantly reduced to $51.29{\pm}20.49\;mg/dl$ compared to the sham group ($72.29{\pm}10.29\;mg/dl$), but it was increased to $70.71{\pm}19.53$ and $62.00{\pm}20.20\;mg/dl$ with MG and MGG supplementation. Furthermore, the effect of the MG group was higher than the MGG group. Microscopic observation showed that whole blood passed smoothly through the micro channels in the MG and MGG supplemented groups. The platelet aggregation ability of the groups treated with MG and MGG was less than that of the OVX-control group. In vitro assay, the angiotensin converting enzyme (ACE) activity was significantly inhibited by MG and MGG (82.6% and 68.9% inhibition at 0.4 g/ml). These results suggest that the beneficial effects of MG and MGG may be used to improve on the lipid metabolic syndrome of menopausal women. In addition, MG and MGG might improve blood homeostasis mediated activities via antiplatelets and MG and MGG may be used as antihypertensive functional foods and nutraceuticals.

A numerical analysis on condensation and coagulation of the metallic species with fly ash particles pre-existing in an incinerator was performed. Waste was simplified as a mixture of methane, chlorine, and small amounts of Pb and Sn. Vapor-phase amounts of Pb- and Sn -compounds were first calculated assuming a thermodynamic equilibrium state. Then theories on vapor-to-particle conversion, vapor condensation onto the fly ash particles, and particle-particle interaction were examined and incorporated into equations of aerosol dynamics and vapor continuity. It was assumed that the particles followed a log-normal size distribution and thus a moment model was developed in order to predict the particle concentration and the particle size distribution simultaneously. Distributions of metallic vapor concentration (or vapor pressure) were also obtained. Temperature drop rate of combustion gas, fly ash concentration and its size were selected as parameters influencing the discharged amount of metallic species. In general, the coagulation between the newly formed metal particles and the fly ash particles was much greater than that between the metal particles themselves or between the fly ash particles themselves. It was also found that the amount of metallic species discharged into the atmosphere was increased due to coagulation. While most of PbO vapors produced from the combustion were eliminated due to combined effect of condensation and coagulation, the highly volatile species, PbCl$_{2}$ and SnCl$_{4}$ vapors tended to discharge into the atmosphere without experiencing either the condensation or the coagulation. For Sn vapors the tendency was between that of PbO vapors and that of PbCl$_{2}$ or SnCl$_{4}$. To restrain the discharged amount of hazardous metallic species, the coagulation should be restrained, the number concentration and the size of pre-existing fly ash particles should be increased, and the temperature drop rate of combustion gas should be kept low.

The study investigates the effects of the content and using method of chemical admixtures such as superplasticizer and viscosity modifying admixture on the fluidity, bleeding ratio, volumetric change and compressive strength of the grout in order to provide basic data for the development of high-quality grout for prestressed concrete. It appeared that the combination of superplasticizer and viscosity modifying admixture decreased the fluidity of grout with small content of superplasticizer. On the contrary, Grout used more than 0.1% of superplasticizer appeared to have significant effect on the improvement of the fluidity. On the other hand, bleeding of grout reduced according to increasing the content of viscosity modifying admixture. Superplasticizer with less than 0.05% had practically no effect on the reduction of bleeding, whereas superplasticizer with more than 0.1% appear to have significant effect on the reduction of bleeding. Also the combination of superplasticizer with 0.15% and viscosity modifying admixture with 0.15% resulted in satisfactory fluidity accompanied with fair reduction of bleeding and shrinkage of the grout.

Platinum nanoparticles loading on carbon nanotube was carried out by impregnation of hexachloro platinate(IV) from hydrogen hexachloro platinate(IV) hydrate dissolved solution without using reduction agents, and heating the hexachloro platinate(IV) impregnated carbon nanotube up to $400^{\circ}C$. The amounts of impregnated hexachloro platinate(IV) on to carbon nanotube were measured with UV-visible spectrophotometer. The TG, XRD, and TEM analysis were performed to confirm the platinum particles loading and distribution on carbon nanotube. The average platinum particles size on carbon nanotube was under 2 nm by heating the hexachloro platinate(IV) up to $400^{\circ}C$ in spite of non-using reduction agents, while the average size increased due to the agglomeration of some particles by heating them up to $800^{\circ}C$. Therefore, uniformly distributed platinum nanoparticles loading on carbon nanotube can be obtained from simple impregnation of hexachloro platinate(IV) from solution and heating it up to $400^{\circ}C$.

CuInGaSe2 (CIGS)을 포함한 Chalcopyrite계 물질은 직접천이형 반도체이면서, ${\sim}1{\times}10^5cm^{-1}$ 이상의 광흡수계수를 보이며, 조성제어를 통한 밴드갭 조절이 가능해 차세대 고효율 박막태양전지재료로 매우 주목받고 있다. 최근, CIGS 박막태양전지 제조를 위해 CIGS 흡수층의 여러 가지 박막제조 공정들이 개발되고 있으나, 동시증착법과 소위 2단계법이라 일컬어지는 금속 전구체 스퍼터링 증착 후 셀렌화 공정을 가장 대표적인 공정이라 말 할 수 있다. 동시증착법은 실험실 수준의 소면적 셀에서 20%에 가까운 높은 효율의 CIGS 박막태양전지 제조에 성공하였음에도 불구하고, 상용화를 위한 대면적 셀 제조를 위해 해결해야 할 문제들이 아직 남아있다. 또한, 2단계법의 경우는 스퍼터링 공정을 기반으로 대면적 셀 제조에는 용이하나, CIGS/Mo 계면에서의 Ga 응집현상의 발생 및 셀렌화 공정에 사용되는 독성가스($H_2Se$)의 문제 등이 남아 있어 새로운 시각에서의 접근 방법이 요구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 CIGS 4성분계 단일 타겟을 사용, RF 스퍼터링 공정을 통해 $200{\times}200mm^2$ 기판 위에 CIGS 박막을 제조하여 그 특성을 분석하였다. XRD 분석결과, 동시증착법에서 일반적으로 관찰되는 CIGS/Mo 계면에서의 $MoSe_2$ 상의 존재는 관찰되지 않았으며, CIGS 단일상의 다결정 박막이 제조되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, CIGS 박막제조 후, RTA 공정을 통해 CIGS 박막의 결정성이 향상됨을 관찰 할 수 있었으며, SIMS 분석결과, Mo층의 공정 조건에 따라 CIGS/Mo 계면에서의 금속원소 (In, Ga, Mo)의 상호확산이 크게 억제됨을 알 수 있었다. 그 외의 특성평가 결과들을 통하여 CIGS 4성분계 단일 타겟을 사용한 CIGS 박막태양전지 제조의 유용성에 대해 논의하고자 한다.

ZnO nanorods were prepared by the hydrothermal reaction of a solution containing $Zn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$, NaOH, cyclohexylamine, ethanol and water, and their $NO_2$ and CO sensing behaviors were investigated. By the control of water concentration in solution, the morphology and agglomeration of ZnO nanorods could be manipulated, which is associated with the variation of $[OH^-]$ resulted from an interaction between water and cyclohexylamine. Sea-urchin-like and well-dispersed ZnO nanorods were prepared at low and high water content, respectively. Well-dispersed ZnO nanorods showed 1.8 fold change in resistance at 1 ppm $NO_2$ while there was no significant change in resistance at 50 ppm CO. This selective detection of $NO_2$ in the presence of CO can be used in automated car ventilation systems.

This paper was designed to analyze thermal properties using thermoelectric element for air-cooling heat dissipation of 13.2W-class COB LED. For comparative analysis with generally used air cooling methods, the heat sink was designed and produced, and this experiment was conducted to measure the temperature distribution using a contact thermometer while the COB LED was operating for 100 minutes. One result was about $75^{\circ}C$ for the general cooling method, and the other was $57^{\circ}C$ while the thermoelectric element was operating with applying the current of 0.8A to the thermoelectric element. This results confirmed that the method of applying thermoelectric element was much better in the dissipation of thermal condense on the COB LED than that of the general air cooling one. The temperature on the contact points of COB LED using thermoelectric element was decreased about 31% compared with the air cooling method from $75^{\circ}C$ to $57^{\circ}C$.
