Bond strength of $SrZrO_3$ resistive oxide barrier on Ag sheathed Bi(2223) tapes prepared by the sol-gel and dip-coating method was evaluated with an aid of Taguchi method and $L_18(2^1{\times}3^7)$ orthogonal arrays to determine the optimal process combination of levels of factors that best satisfy the bigger is better quality characteristic. The observed optimal condition is as follows: Sr/Zr mol ratio(0.3/0.7), amount of organic vehicle(5 wt%), drying temperature and time(160${\circ}C$, 10 min), heat treatment temperature and time(500${\circ}C$, 20 min), respectively. ANOVA analysis suggested that the influence of the factors within ${\alpha}$=0.1 was significant with a 90% confidence level.

Fe/$Al_2O_3$ granules with various compositions were prepared by combining sol-gel with oil drop method for Fishcer-Tropsh reaction to produce light olefin from synthesis gas. The granules was characterized and employed as a catalyst in the reaction. The surface area of granules was decreased with increasing Fe concentration. Especially, granule with 1.5 of Al/Fe ratios showed the highest CO conversion. However, the olefin selectivity was hardly affected by Al/Fe ratio. K concentration of granule gave a significant effect on catalytic performance. Initial CO conversion and olefin selectivity were increased with K concentration. However, the catalyst with higher K concentration was deactivated rapidly.

$LiCoO_2$ thin film has received diverse attention as cathodes material of thin-film micro-batteries. In this study, $LiCoO_2$ thin films were synthesized on Au substrates by sol-gel spin coating method and an annealing process. Their structures were studied using X-ray diffraction and Raman Spectroscopy. The particle morphologies of these thin films were observed by Scaning electron microscope. From the results of X-ray diffractometry and Raman Spectroscopy analyses, it was found that as-grown films had the structure of spinel (LT-$LiCoO_2$) and layered-Rock-salt (HT-$LiCoO_2$) at $550^{\circ}C$ and $750^{\circ}C$ respectively. The annealed films at $650^{\circ}C$ were presumed to be the mixed state of these two types. Throlugh the scanning electron microscope, It was estimated that the particle size in as-grown films at $750^{\circ}C$, were larger crystilline particle than in those at the other lower temperature and well distributed in the film.

Deformation in the hysteresis loop of $Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$ (PZT) thin films with various Zr/Ti ratios has been studied by varying the top electrode preparation method and the annealing temperature. Pt/PZT/Pt capacitors was found to be positively poled due to dc plasma potential generated during reactive ion etch (RIE) of Rt. Internal field is formed by space charges trapped at domain boundaries. Aging phenomenon such as constriction in the middle of the hysteresis loop was observed in the PZT film with top electrode deposited by sputtering. Top electrode annealing restores the hysteresis loop by removing the space charges. As Zr/Ti ratio decrease, voltage shift increases and an-nealing temperature at which internal field disappears also increases.

We have performed a study on the electrochemical characteristics and nuclear ($^7Li$) magnetic resonance of $V_2O_5$ xerogels that have been synthesized by the sol-gel reaction of $V_2O_5$ powder with hydrogen peroxide. NMR measurements revealed that chemical shift of $Li^+$ ions varied as lithium ions were inserted into $V_2O_5$ xerogel and that several different sites for $Li^+$ ions existed in the $V_2O_5$ xerogel structure. The electrochemical properties of the xerogel electrodes did not depend much upon the concentration of $V_2O_5$ and HCl that were used for the synthesis of $V_2O_5$ gels. The specific capacity of $V_2O_5$ xerogels were about 140 mAh/g, similar to that of the xerogels prepared by the ion exchange method.

Bismuth layered structure ferroelectric thin films, $Bi_4$$Ti_3$$O_{12}$ / (BTO) and Nb-doped BTO (BTN) were prepared on the Pt(111)/Ti/$SiO_2$/Si(100) substrates by a sol-gel route. We investigated the Nb-doping effect on the grain orientation and ferroelectric properties. $Nb^{5＋}$ ion substitution for $Ti^{4＋}$ ion in perovskite layers of BTO decreased the degree of c-axis orientation and increased the remanent polarization (2Pr). The fatigue resistance of Nb-doped BTO thin film was shown to be superior to that of BTO, and the leakage current of Nb-doped BTO thin film was decreased about 1 order of magnitude compared with BTO. The improvement of ferroelectric properties with $Nb^{5＋}$ doping in BTO could be attributed to the changes in space charge densities and grain orientation in the thin film.

Effective transverse Piezoelectric Coefficients $(e_{31,f})$ of thick PZT $(Pb(Zr_{0.52}Ti{0.48}Ti_{0.48})O_3)$ films on $SiN_x/Si$ substrates were measured with PZT thicknesses and top electrode dimensions. $e_{31,f}$ is one of important Parameters characterizing Piezoelectricity of PZT films. Thick PZT films have been used as various sensors and actuators because of their high driving force and high breakdown voltage. Thick PZT films were fabricated on Pt/Ta/$SiN_x$/Si substrates using sol-gel method. Thicknesses of PZT films were $1{\mu}m$ and $1.8{\mu}m$. $|e_{31,f}|$ values of $1.8{\mu}m$-thick-PZT films were higher than those of $1{\mu}$-thick-PZT films. Maximum $|e_{31,f}|$ of $1.8{\mu}$-thick-PZT films was about $50^{\circ}C/m^2$.

Silica and polymethylsilsesquioxane (PMSQ) are silicone powders widely used as cosmetics. We synthesized silica-PMSQ composites via sol-gel method using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS) and methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) as precursors of silica and PMSQ, respectively. Shape of the composites was controlled by varying the ratios of TEOS and MTMS, which were used as silane monomers. Silica-PMSQ composites showed three different shapes, which were sphere-shape, raspberry- shape, and donut- shape. All of them had soft touch, easy water dispersion, and soft focus effect in common. However, each shape showed some differences in sense of use, adhesion, and strength of the soft focus effect. Raspberry-shape composite had the strongest soft focus effect, donut-shape one had the strongest adhesion, and sphere-shape one had the best in softness. Thus, it is concluded that by varying the ratios of TEOS and MTMS silica-PMSQ composites could be easily synthesized into different shapes, providing various functions. This method can be applied to manufacture functional cosmetics.

Antioxidative activity of browning product(BP) fractionated from fermented soybean sauce(SS) was studied during the oxidation process of linoleic acid mixture system. SSBP was a powder type product prepared from fermented soybean sauce by the fractionation through the Sephadex G-10 column and freeze drying of collected fraction. The aqueous model systems were used for the evaluation of antioxidative activity of SSBP during the oxidative reaction at $50^{\circ}C$ by the determination of peroxider and conjugated dienoic acid compounds. The linoleic acid mixture for the aqueous model systems was consisted of linoleic acid(64.6%), oleic acid(27.4%), and other acids in ethanolic phosphate buffer solution(pH 7.0). SSBP had a considerable antioxidative activity with the inhibition of formation of peroxides and conjugated dienoic acids during the autoxidation of linoleic acid mixtures in aqueous model systems. Antioxidative activity of SSBP was relatively higher than SS, however, lower than ${\alpha}-tocopherol$ and butylated hydroxyanisol. The antioxidative effect of SSBP was increased by the its concentrations from 0.05% to 0.5% in the oxidation reactions of aqueous model systems. Therefore, SSBP was considered as one of the potential natural antioxidants for the use of food products.

본 연구에서는 $SiO_2$ 미세구조 상에 Pd 나노입자(NPs)를 증착하여, 불소화된 마이크로-나노 계층구조를 갖는 Pd-decorated $SiO_2$($Pd/SiO_2$)를 제작하였다. 마이크로 크기의 거칠기를 갖는 $SiO_2$ 층은 졸-겔 공정을 사용해서 제조된 용액을 전기분사함으로써 제조되었다. 이어서, 자외선(UV)을 이용한 광 환원법을 이용해 Pd 나노입자를 $SiO_2$ 층에 형성했다. 생성된 표면은 마이크로-나노의 계층구조 형태를 보여주었다. 해당 시편의 불소화 처리 후, 마이크로-나노의 계층구조 표면은 $170^{\circ}$ 이상의 물 접촉각(water contact angle; WCA) 및 $5^{\circ}$ 이하의 슬라이딩 각(sliding angle)을 보여줌으로써 물에 대해 탁월한 소수성을 나타내었다. 또한, 커피($CA=161^{\circ}$), 우유($CA=162^{\circ}$), 쥬스($CA=163^{\circ}$), 그리고 글리세롤($CA=165^{\circ}$)에 대해서도 우수한 소수 특성을 보여주었다. 또한, 이들 $Pd/SiO_2$ 층은 우수한 장기내구성 및 자외선 저항성을 보여주었다. 그리고 이어진 기름에 대한 접촉각 측정을 통해 해당 시편이 소유 특성이 아닌 친유 특성을 보여준다는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, 기름에 대한 CA는 약 ${\sim}10^{\circ}$로 매우 우수한 친유 특성을 나타내었다. 이와 같은 결과는 자체세정이 가능한 표면 및 지능형 물/기름 분리 시스템과 같은 스마트 장치에서 초소수성-친유성 특성을 갖는 계층구조의 $Pd/SiO_2$ 층을 사용할 가능성을 명확하게 보여준다고 판단된다.
