The research, in order to enhance the quality of recycled aggregate, was carried out the quality characteristics test of the recycled aggregates by applying the four kinds of surface treatment using a colloidal suspension of approximately 5nm~60nm particle size with the alkalinity of pH 10.2. The quality tests of recycled aggregate have been processed by specific gravity, water absorption, porosity, surface properties, and the compression and tensile tests. The colloidal suspension was coated effectively the surface of the old cement mortars of recycled aggregate with a constant thickness by colloidal suspension is being applied to the recycled aggregate surface under constant pressure of 100kpa and then it was dried in at $60^{\circ}C$. The surface treatment method by the Method C out of 4 kinds of surface treatment improved effectively the quality of the recycled aggregates, whereby it obtained the best compressive strength and tensile strength of the recycled aggregate concrete.

Silica membranes with high permeability were prepared using colloidal and polymeric silica sols on a porous stainless steel-tube support by a DRFF and SRFF method. Silica sols were derived with tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) by sol-gel method and analyzed with DLS, FE-SEM, and $N_2$ adsorption. The coating of the intermediate layer with colloidal silica sol on the stainless steel-tube support led to a denser surface morphology of the membrane along with a considerable reduction in the number of surface defect. As the polymeric silica sol enclosed the colloidal silica sol with spherical particles during the SRFF method, the separation-layer-coated silica membrane showed a denser surface than the intermediate layer. Moreover, the silica membranes showed high hydrogen gas permeability of $(6.63-9.21){\times}10^{-5}mol{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}s^{-1}{\cdot}Pa^{-1}$ with low $H_2/N_2$ perm-selectivity (2.9-3.1) at room temperatures.

100, 200nm 크기의 colloidal silica 각각에 나노 ceria 입자를 수열합성법으로 코팅하였다. Colloidal silica 입자에 ceria를 코팅 시 slurry의 pH조절과 수열처리에 이용하여 silica에 ceria가 코팅됨을 TEM과 zeta-potential을 이용하여 확인하였다. 연마 슬러리의 분산 안정성과 연마효율을 높이기 위하여 슬러리의 pH 는 9로 하였으며, 이때의 zeta-potential 값은 -25 mV이었다. 1 wt%로 제조된 연마슬러리를 이용하여, 4 inch $SiO_2$, $Si_3N_4$ wafer를 압력변화에 따른 연마특성을 관찰 하였다. Ceria coated colloidal silica 100 nm, 200 nm와 commercial한 $CeO_2$입자를 연마압력 6 psi로 oxide film을 연마한 결과 연마율이 각각 2490 ${\AA}/min$, 4200 ${\AA}/min$, 4300 ${\AA}/min$으로 측정되었다. 또한 $SiO_2$, $Si_3N_4$ film의 6 psi압력에서 ceria coated colloidal silica 100 nm, 200 nm와 commercial 한 $CeO_2$입자의 선택비는 3, 3.8, 6.7 이었다. 입자크기가 클수록 연마율이 높으며, Preston equation을 따라 연마 압력과 연마율이 비례하였다.

In recent years the interest in organic/inorganic hybrid materials has increased at a fast rate. Nano organic-inorganic hybrid composites have shown advantages for preparing hard coating layers. Especially, nano hybrid composite has low environmental pollution. It has high transparency, hardness, toughness, thermal dissociation temperature, hydrophobicity by using nano sized inorganic material. There are many ways in which these materials may be synthesized, a typical one being the use of silica and silanes using the sol-gel process. The structure of sol-gel silica evolves as a result of these successive hydrolysis and condensation reactions and the subsequent drying and curing. The sol-gel reactions are catalyzed by acids and produce silica sol solutions. The silica sol grows until they reach a size where a gel transition occurs and a solid-like gel is formed. Colloidal silica(CS)/silane sol solutions were synthesized in variation with parameters such as different acidity and reaction time. In order to understand their physical and chemical properties, sol-gel coating films were fabricated on glass. From all sol-gel solutions, seasoning effect of sol-gel coating layer on glass was observed.

For testing the ultraviolet (UV)-blocking property of functional films coated with Nano-$TiO_2$ particles, UV-Vis spectra of oriented polypropylene (OPP) films uncoated and coated with $TiO_2$ of 3% and 5% in Polyurethane (PU) and polyvinyl butyral (PVB)-Cellulose binders were measured. The result of UV-Vis analyses showed that the film coated with 5% $TiO_2$ in PVB binders had a significant effect on UV protection of 90% compared with the film uncoated. Also The result of The photodegradation of methylene blue (MB), OPP films coated with 5% in both PU and PVB binders had a high photocatalytic activity for MB degradation. To evaluate the effect of the developed functional film coated with Nano-$TiO_2$ particles, fresh soybean sprouts were used. Nano-$TiO_2$ coated film was observed to decompose the off-flavor produced by soybean sprouts within packages during distribution, but uncoated film did not. Therefore, Nano-$TiO_2$ coated film package could give the greatest effect in extending the shelf life of soybean sprouts.

A stainless steel that contains aggressive negative ion was known to decrease the corrosion resistance. Stainless steel with super corrosion resistance was developed for improvement of corrosion resistance. Super duplex stainless steel is widely used under sever environment because of good mechanical properties and corrosion resistance. Also, Super duplex stainless steel has long life in severe environments by showing the enough strength and corrosion resistance. But duplex stainless steel is not stabilized compared to austenite stainless steel in corrosion resistance. In this study, corrosion characteristic were investigated to super duplex stainless steel with additive 0.2% nitrogen with $SiO_2$ thin films coated or no coated by sol-gel method in 3.5% NaCl. From test results, corrosion current density in the heat-treated specimen for ${\sigma}$ phase precipitation was higher than that of different heat-treated specimen. Also, $SiO_2$ colloidal-coated specimen had not occurred almost corrosion.

The effect of aluminosilicate sol on the formation of mullite layer in zircon shell mold was investigated. Aluminosilicate sol was prepared by mixing of colloidal silica(NALCO(R) 1130) and an aqueous solution of aluminium nitrate at room temperature. The sol gelled at 50$^{\circ}C$ for 48 hrs. It was identified that the gel consists of aluminosilicate complexes and gibbsite. The coordination number of all aluminium ion bonded with silicon ion was four. Mullite phase formed by sintering above 1300$^{\circ}C$. XRD peak of mullite sharpened with increasing sintering temperature and the content of aluminium nitrate. Mullite phase displayed whisker-like 0.5~5${\mu}m $ particles. Separation between 1st and 3rd layers during sintering and the difference in thermal expansion coefficient between residual silica and mullite.

Colloidal silica is used in various industrial products such as chemical mechanical polishing slurry for planarization of silicon and sapphire wafer, organic-inorganic hybrid coatings, binder of investment casting, etc. An accurate determination of particle size and dispersion stability of silica sol is demanded because it has a strong influence on surface of wafer, film of coatings or bulks having mechanical, chemical and optical properties. The study herein is discussed on the effect of measurement results of average particle size, sol viscosity and electrophoretic mobility of particle according to the volume fraction of eight types of silica sol with different size and surface properties of silica particles which are presented by the manufacturer. The measured particle size and the mobility of these sol were changed by volume fraction or particle size due to highly active surface of silica particle and change of concentration of counter ion by dilution of silica sol. While in case the measured sizes of small particles less than 60 nm are increased with increasing volume fraction, the measured sizes of larger particles than 60 nm are slightly decreased. The mobility of small particle such as 12 nm are decreased with increase of viscosity. However, the mobility of 100 nm particles under 0.048 volume fraction are increased with increasing volume fraction and then decreased over higher volume fraction.
