In this review, I present the configuration behaviors of various Janus particles at fluid-fluid interfaces. As a model system, Janus spheres, Janus ellipsoids, and Janus dumbbells are selected to investigate the effect of shape, size, and wettability on their configurations. In particular cases, Janus ellipsoids can adopt two distinct configurations (i.e., upright and tilted configurations) due to the presence of two energy minima in the attachment energy profile. On the contrary, a single energy minimum is found in the case of Janus dumbbells such that they adopt either the upright or tilted configuration. Interestingly, the geometric and chemical asymmetry and anisotropy in the characteristic properties of Janus dumbbells lead to an intermediate state in which the particles can rotate freely in a certain range of orientation angles.

새로운 재료의 개발과 사용 중인 기존재료의 손상을 판단하기 위해서 변형 중 재료 거동을 정확히 파악하는 것이 중요하다. 하지만, 대부분의 공학 재료는 다결정으로 이루어져 결정 상호작용의 규명이 복잡하여 정밀한 분석이 어렵다. 고에너지 X-ray 회절실험법을 이용한 다결정 고체 거동의 측정기법이 발전함에 따라 해석을 통한 실험법의 검증 및 추가 분석 방법에 대해서도 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 특정 결정과 주변 결정 간의 결정간 방위차(intergranular misorientation)의 상호작용에 의한 결정 거동 영향을 조사하였다. 결정간 방위차를 정의하고 결정 응력 방향 변화를 단결정 항복면 꼭지점과 방향과 비교함으로써 결정간 방위차의 변화에 대한 결정 응력 변화를 분석하였다. 소성 발생이 증가함에 따라 결정 응력의 방향은 단결정 항복면 꼭지점으로 이동하지만 결정간 방위차에 의해서 응력 분포가 변화함을 정량적으로 확인하였다.

대기압 저온 플라즈마는 간단한 구조 및 제작, 쉬운 조작성, 낮은 온도 특성, 높은 화학적 반응성과 같은 많은 장점에도 불구하고, 플라즈마의 에너지가 낮아 다양한 산업적 응용에 제약을 받아왔다. 이러한 단점을 극복하기 위해서 대기압에서 저온 플라즈마의 에너지를 높이는 여러 시도가 있었으며, 그 중 가까이 인접해 있는 둘 이상의 플라즈마 젯들의 결합 현상(plasma jet-to-jet coupling)을 이용하여 플라즈마 강도를 높이려는 시도가 보고되었다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마를 발생시키는 유리관을 서로 모아 벌집모양의 배열을 갖는 플라즈마 젯 어레이 장치를 만들어 플라즈마 젯 사이에 상호결합을 유도하여 강한 플라즈마 발광을 발생시켰다. 플라즈마 젯 어레이 장치 중 가운데 위치한 플라즈마 젯은 대기압 플라즈마 젯의 형태를 구현하는 역할을 하고, 가운데를 둘러싼 주변의 여러 플라즈마 젯들은 중앙의 플라즈마 젯에 많은 하전입자를 제공하여 플라즈마 젯의 발광강도를 높이는 역할을 하는 것을 확인했다. 헬륨기체를 사용한 이 플라즈마 젯은 $100^{\circ}C$ 이하의 온도임에도 불구하고 ITO 유리의 유리면을 식각할 만큼 높은 에너지를 가졌다. 이러한 대기압 저온플라즈마 장치에서 플라즈마의 강도를 더 높이기 위해서는 플라즈마 젯 간 결합이 더 많이 일어나는 것이 중요하므로, 이를 위해 주변의 플라즈마 젯의 개수를 높이는 시도를 하였다. 플라즈마 젯 어레이 소자의 중심에 위치한 유리관의 크기를 크게 하고, 주변부의 유리관의 크기를 상대적으로 작게 하여 벌집형태의 배열보다 더 많은 유리관을 주변부에 위치시킨 후 플라즈마를 발생시키고 전기 광학적 특성을 측정하였다. 그 결과, 실험조건에 따라 가운데 플라즈마 젯에서 3배에서 5배 이상 높은 플라즈마의 발광강도를 얻었으며, 플라즈마 젯도 더 안정적으로 발생하였다. 주변부의 유리관의 개수가 증가하면 더 많은 양의 하전 입자들이 플라즈마 결합 과정에 참여하게 되고 결과적으로 더 큰 플라즈마의 발광강도를 나타내는 것이다. 본 실험은 하전입자의 상호작용에 의해 발생하는 서로 인접한 플라즈마 젯 간의 결합이 대기압 저온 플라즈마 젯의 플라즈마 발광강도를 높이는 좋은 방법임을 보였다. 이러한 플라즈마 젯 간의 결합은 대기압 저온 플라즈마의 에너지를 높일 수 있는 쉽고 간단한 방법이며, 이 방법을 이용하여 대기압 저온 플라즈마를 표면처리, 표면개질은 물론, 식각 및 증착, 나아가서는 의료/바이오 분석 기술 등 다양한 학문적, 산업적 응용에도 적용할 수 있을 것으로 기대한다.

This study investigated relationship between secondary electrons produced from single gold nanoparticle as a result of its interaction with radiation and particle size and incidence energy, provided basic data related to the dose enhancement effect based on gold nanoparticles. Monte Carlo simulation was applied by using MCNPX MC code, 50, 100, 150 kV and 6, 15 MV x-ray energy was used. In a water phantom, single gold nanoparticles that are 30, 50, 70, 90, and 110 nm in diameter were placed and the tally volume was designated at every 10 nm. Difference in electrons produced from gold nanoparticles was normalized based on absence of nanoparticle. When the X ray energy decreased and the diameter of gold particles increased, more electrons were produced. When the energy was lower, in the linear formula related to nanoparticle size and electron production, the gradient was higher. And, in comparison to the MV X-ray, at kV X-ray, significantly more electrons were produced. This study can be used as data to understand the dose enhancement effect based on gold nanoparticles, and further research related to various materials that dose enhancement including gold nanoparticles needs to be conducted.

메탄의 수증기-이산화탄소 복합개질반응에서 니켈 촉매의 탄소 침적 저항성에대한 Ce 증진 효과를 살펴보기 위해, Ni-Ce/${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ 촉매를 제조하였다. Ce/Ni 비율 변화에 따른 촉매 비표면적, Ni 입자 분산도 및 촉매 활성 변화를 살펴보았고, Ce 첨가량을 최적화 할 수 있었다. Ce/Ni 비율 증가에 따라 NiO 결정크기가 감소하고 표면적과 Ni 분산도는 증가하였다. 특히, Ce/Ni=0.5 첨가 시, 촉매는 가장 넓은 비표면적과 Ni 분산도를 가졌으며, 우수한 촉매 활성 및 높은 탄소 침적 저항성을 보였다. 또한, 본 연구에서는 Ni과 Ce 담지 방법에 따른 Ni 분산도 향상과 Ni과 Ce간의 접촉 면적 극대화를 통한 활성산소 공급 향상에 대한 영향을 함께 살펴보았다. Ni과 Ce를 동시 함침법과 연속 함침법으로 담지하여 비교한 결과, 동시 함침법으로 제조한 Ni-Ce/${\alpha}-Al_2O_3$ (Ce/Ni=0.5) 촉매가 가장 우수한 촉매 성능 및 높은 탄소 침적 저항성을 보였다. 이는 동시 함침법으로 고분산된 Ni 입자와 담체간의 강한 상호작용 형성과 원활한 활성 산소 공급에 기인한 것이다.

This study investigates the effect of polarity of oily soil on adhesion of oily and particulate soil to PET fabric in oily/particulate mixed soil systems. The potential energy of interaction between two particles was examined as a fundamental environment of adhesion of soil to fabrics. The ${\zeta}$-potential of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particles was measured by a microelectrophoresis method, and the potential energy of interaction between two particles was calculated by using the Verwey-Overbeek theory. The ${\zeta}$-potential of particle and the potential energy of interaction between two particles was slightly influenced by the polarity and type of oily soil, but increased with the increased anionic surfactant concentration and amount of oily soil. The adhesion of oily soil to fabric increased with the additional amount of polarity of oily soil and decreased surfactant concentration that was relatively high at a temperature of $60^{\circ}C$ surfactants solution. The adhesion of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particle to PET fabric decreased with an increased amount and polarity of oily soil and increased surfactant concentration Although some similarity exists, the general trend of the adhesion to fabric by particulate soil differ from oily soil.

Colloid and surface chemistry have been focused on surface area and surface energy. Local surface properties such as surface density, interaction, molecular orientation and reactivity have been one of interesting subjects. Systems of such surface energy being important would be listed as association colloid, emulsion, particle dispersion, foam, and 2-D surface and film. Such nanoparticle systems would be applied to drug delivery systems and functional cosmetics with biocompatible and degradable materials, while nanoparticles having its size of several nm to micron, and wide surface area, have been accepted as a possible drug carrier because their preparation, characteristics and drug loading have been inves-tigated. The biocompatible carriers were also used for the solubilization of insoluble drugs, the enhancement of skin absorption, the block out of UV radiation, the chemical stabilization and controlled release. Nano/micro emulstion system is classified into nano/microsphere, nano/microcapsule, nano/microemulsion, polymeric micelle, liposome according to its prep-aration method and size. Specially, the preparation method and industrial applications have been introduced for polymeric micelles self-assembled in aqueous solution, nano/microapsules controlling the concentration and activity of high concen-tration and activity materials, and monolayer or multilayer liposomes carrying bioactive ingredients.

Fly ash produced in coal combustion is a fine-grained material consisting mostly of spherical, glassy, and porous particles. A physical, morphological, and chemical characteristic of fly ash has been analyzed. This study may contribute to the data base of domestic fly ash, the improvement of combustion efficiency, ash recycling and ash collection in the electrostatic precipitator. The physical property of fly ash is determined using a particle counter for the measurement of ash size distribution and gravimeter. Morphological characteristic of fly ash is performed using a scanning electron micrograph and an optical microscope. The chemical components of fly ash are determined using an inductively coupled plasma emission spectrometry (ICP). The distribution of fly ash size was ranged from 15 to 25 $\mu$m in mass median diameter. Exposure conditions of flue gas temperature and duration within the combustion zone of the boiler played an important role on the morphological properties of the fly ash such as shape, relative opacity, coloration, cenosphere and plerosphere. The spherical fly ash might be generated at the condition of complete combustion. The size of fly ash was found to be increased the with particle-particle interaction of agglomeration and coagulation. Fly ash consisted of $SiO_2\;Al_2O_3\;and\;Fe_2O_3$ with 85% and carbon with 3~10% of total mass.

Mathematical models for char-slag interaction and near-wall particle segregation developed by Montagnaro et. al. were applied to predict various aspects of coal gasification in an up-flow entrained gasifier of commercial scale. For this purpose, some computer simulations were performed using gPROMS as the numerical solver. Typical design parameters and operating conditions of the commercial gasifiers were used as input values for the simulation. Development of a densely dispersed phase of solid carbon was found to have a critical effect on both carbon conversion and ash flow behavior. In general, such a slow-moving phase was turned out to enhance carbon conversion by lengthening the residence time of char or soot particles. Furthermore, it was also found that guiding the transfer of char or soot into the closer part of the wall to coal burner is favorable in terms of gasification efficiency and vitrified ash collection. Finally, to a certain degree densely dispersed phase of carbon showed an yield-enhancing effect of syngas.

This study investigates the effect of particle size on the detergency of particulate soil using an $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particle as the model. Monodispersed spherical $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particles were prepared by the hydrothermal aging of an acidic $FeCl_3$ and HCl solution. The $\xi$-potential of PET fiber was measured by the streaming potential method. The potential energy of interaction between the particle and fiber was calculated using the heterocoagulation theory for a sphere-plate model. The $\xi$-potential of PET fiber and potential energy of interaction between particles and fiber increased with a decreasing particle size in a DBS solution. However, in the nonionic surfactant solution, the $\xi$-potential signs of PET fiber and $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particles were (-) and (+), respectively; there was no repulsive power between the particles and substrate. The adhesion of particles to the fabric increased with increasing particle size in the anionic surfactant solution and their removal from the fabric increased with a decreasing particle size. The adhesion of particles to the fabric and their removal from the fabric was biphasic with a maximum and minimum at 0.1% concentration of the surfactant solution. In the nonionic surfactant solution the adhesion of particles to fabric and their removal from the fabric were greater than the ones in the anionic surfactant DBS solution.
