The acetylene black/silica composite particles were prepared by a simple and fast method using polyethylenimine (PEI) as a coupling agent. The composite particles were produced via the following two steps; adsorption of PEI on the surface of acetylene black particles and synthesis of silica by sol-gel process. The morphology of the composite particles was a core-shell, and a large number of micropores was created after silica was synthesized on the acetylene black surface.

A conjugated polymer is the next-generation emerging semiconductor material that can be applied in various fields, from organic electronics to biomedical applications. However, its low solubility in an aqueous medium has made the use of toxic organic solvents inevitable, thereby leading to formulation of conjugated polymers in the form of waterborne nanoparticles. This review paper discusses two principles of nanoparticle formation and representative methods for synthesizing conjugated polymer nanoparticles.

Poly(AA-co-EGDMA) microgels were prepared by precipitation polymerization in highly swollen polystyrene gel solution. The polymerization was carried out in selective solvent such as cyclohexane/acetone at $60^{\circ}C$. Poly(AA-co-EGDMA) microgels with various site of $0.18{\sim}0.55{\mu}m$ were obtained from different concentration of polystyrene(PS), concentration of crosslinking agent(EGDMA), ratio of Ps/monomer and volume ratio of solvents. The particle size of poly(AA-co-EGDMA) microgels decreased with increasing the concentration of PS and increased with that of EGDMA.

Reductive reactivity of zero-valent iron nanoparticles was investigated for removal of nitrate-nitrogen which is considered one of the major water pollutants. To elucidate the difference in reactivity between preparation methods, iron nanoparticles were synthesized respectively from microemulsion and aqueous solution of ferric ions. Iron nanoparticles prepared from microemulsion were deposited on aluminum by electrophoretic method, and their reaction kinetics was compared to that of the same nanoparticles suspended in aqueous batch reaction. With an approximation of pseudo-first-order reaction, rate constants for suspended nanoparticles prepared from microemulsion and dilute aqueous solution were $3.49{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$ and $1.40{\times}10^{-2}min^{-1}$, respectively. Iron nanoparticles supported on aluminum showed ca. 30% less reaction rate in comparison with the identical nanoparticles in suspended state. However, supported nanoparticles showed the superior effectiveness in terms of nitrate-nitrogen removal per zero-valent iron input especially when excess amounts of nitrates were present. Iron nanoparticles deposited on aluminum maintained reductive reactivity for more than 3 hours, and produced nitrogen gas as a final reduction product of nitrate-nitrogen.

Magnetic nanoparticles can be used for a variety of biomedical applications. They can be used in the targeted delivery of therapeutic agents in vivo, in the hyperthermic treatment of cancers. in magnetic resonance (MR) imaging as contrast agents and in the biomagnetic separations of biomolecules. We have synthesized magnetite $(Fe_3O_4)$ nanoparticles using chemical coprecipitation technique with sodium oleate as surfactant. Nanoparticle size can be varied from 2 to 8nm by controlling the sodium oleate concentration. Magnetite phase nanoparticles could be observed from X-ray diffraction. Magnetic colloid suspensions containing particles with sodium oleate and chitosan have been prepared. Nanoparticles, both oleate-coated and chitosan-coated, have been characterized by several techniques. Atomic farce microscope (AFM) was used to image the coated nanoparticles. Magnetic hysteresis measurement were performed using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer at room temperature to investigate the magnetic properties of the magnetite nanoparticles. The SQUID measurements revealed superparamagnetism of nanoparticles.

Acoustic Quanta, which British Physicist Dennis Gabor created, is the theoretical background for granular synthesis and has influenced many computer music artists and sound designers. Acoustic Quanta is a very short sound burst, lasting only 1 to 100 ms. Granular synthesis is a sound synthesis technique which slices original sound into sound grains and re-combines them into a new acoustic event. Concept of sound grain is borrowed from the acoustic quanta. Granular Synthesis can make very unique sound, so that it can be useful in many ways, especially in sound design. This paper presents concept of acoustic quanta and granular synthesis. It then discusses making a synthesizer as an implementation of synchronous granular synthesis and its applications on sound design. As a result, the duration of acoustic quanta should range between 0.239 and 33.367 ms, in consideration of audible frequencies, which is different from the original concept of the acoustic quanta.

Intensive pulsed light (IPL) technique enables energy to be transferred to a target substance in a short time per millisecond at room temperature under an ambient atmosphere. Due to the growing interest in flashlights with excellent functionality among various technologies, light-sintering research on metal particles using IPL has been carried out representatively. Recently, examples of the application of IPL to various material synthesis have been reported. In the present article, various strategies using IPL including the manufacture of flexible electrodes and the synthesis of metal-organic frameworks were discussed. In particular, the process of improving oxidation resistance and electrical conductivity of electrodes, and also the metal-organic framework synthesis from metal surface were explained in detail. We envision that the review article can be of great help to researchers who investigate electrode manufacturing and material synthesis using IPL.
