달표면 표토의 평균 입자크기와 성숙도(maturity)는 달 연구 및 탐사에 있어 중요한 정보이다. 표토의 성숙도는 탐사하는 지역의 형성시기에 대한 정보를 제공하고, 평균입자크기는 달 탐사 로보의 설계에 중요한 정보로 쓰이기 때문이다. 우리는 달표면 표토의 평균입자크기와 성숙도를 측정하기 위하여 경희대학교 천문대에서 12cm 굴절망원경과 정방형 2k CCD를 이용하여 $633{\mu}m$ 파장의 편광관측을 수행하였다. 관측의 공간 분해능은 달의 중심부에서 2.89km/pixel이다. 달표면에서 산란된 빛의 편광도는 달표면 표토의 평균입자크기를 알 수 있는 중요한 정보가 된다. 표토의 평균입자크기는 최대편광도와 알비도에 관계되기 때문에 편광관측과 알비도 관측으로부터 평균입자크기를 측정할 수 있다. 표토의 평균입자크기는 시간이 지남에 따라서 점점 작아지는데, 이는 표토가 미세운석체의 충돌에 오랜 시간 동안 노출되어 있기 때문이다. 미세운석체의 충돌은 달표면에서 고르고 지속적으로 일어났기 때문에, 표토의 평균입자크기를 알 수 있다면 표토가 얼마나 오랫동안 달표면에 노출되었는지를 나타내는 성숙도를 측정할 수 있다. 우리는 편광관측을 통하여 처음으로 달표면 전체의 평균입자크기의 분포를 측정하였고, 그로부터 표토의 성숙도를 추정했다.

본 연구는 자갈하상하천에서 하상에 분포하는 입자에 작용하는 전단력을 이용하여 등가조도를 산정할 수 있는 모형을 개발하였다. 등가조도는 기존의 연구들처럼 경험적으로 특정입도에 의해 산정하지 않고 하상에 분포하는 각 입자에 작용하는 입자 전단력을 산정하고, 하상 평균전단력과의 관계로서 산정하였다. 입자 전단력은 항력을 통해 산정하였으며, 이때 항력계수는 입자의 돌출 높이를 고려할 수 있도록 하였다. 또한 입자에 부딪히는 평균유속은 수치적분을 통해 입자의 돌출 높이에 따라 가변성을 고려할 수 있도록 식으로 제시하였다. 단위면적당 입자 전단력과 하상 평균 전단력과의 관계를 통해 등가조도의 함수로서 식을 제시한 후 수치해석방법의 하나인 증분 탐색법을 통해 등가조도를 산정할 수 있도록 하였다. 그리고 산정된 등가조도를 이용하여 수위-유량관계 및 흐름저항매개변수를 산정하여 적정성을 검토하였다.

우수한 세라믹스 제조를 위해서는 작은 입자지름, 좁은 입도분포, 구형의 입자형태, dopant와 matrix가 균일한 고용체를 갖고, 응집입자가 없으며 고순도인 원료 분말의 제조가 선행되어야 한다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 수열 합성법을 이용하여$\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$, $\alpha$-SiO$_2$, PZT, PSZT, BTO등의 미세분말을 제조하는 공정에서 반응온도, 광화제의 양과 종류, 반응시간, 출발물질의 양과 종류, 전처리공정, 교반공정 등이 평균입자지름과 결정성 및 입도분포에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 그결과 미세분말의 종류에 관계없이 반응온도, 반응시간, 성장기질의 농도, 종자결정의 농도 등이 증가할수록 평균입경은 커지며, 광화제의 농도가 증가할수록 평균 입자지름이 작아지고, 광화제의 농도가 종자결정의 농도가 증가할수록 입도분포가 좁아짐을 알 수 있었다. 특히 $\alpha$-SiO$_2$에 대해 수열합성실험으로부터 평균입자지름과 수열합성의 조업변수간의 특성방정식을 얻었다.

The technique for calibrating standard particles larger than 1 $\mu$m by using an optical array sizing method has been established. The system consists of an optical microscope with transmission light source, a CCD camera, and a computer equipped with a frame grabber. The center distance between two spheres located at both ends of a row which consists of N spheres is measured in terms of pixel numbers, and divided by (N-1) to obtain the average pixel numbers per particle. This value is multiplied by length conversion constant, which has been determined in advance, to obtain the mean diameter of polystylene spheres. The length conversion constant is found from the microscopic image of calibrated standard stage micrometer plate. In order to reduce error in finding center positions of the scale and particles in the image, a software filter which dilates bright (or dark) object has been used. Spheres having nominal size of 1, 2, 3, 5, and 10$\mu$m were measured, and the maximum deviation of the measured mean diameter valus from their certified values was 0.7%. Standard particles which is larger than 1 $\mu$m can be calibrated by this method with measuredment uncertainy (k=2) lees than 1.53%.

Nanoparticles with unsaturated poly(hydroxyalkanoate)s (UPHAs) biosynthesized with Pseudo-monas oleovorans were prepared by spontaneous emulsification solvent diffusion method. The influence of nanoparticle formation was investigated with various experimental parameters such as sonication conditions, sol-vent, surfactant and polymer contents, etc. The physical and chemical properties of UPHAS and its nanoparticles were characterized using $^1$H- and $\^$13/C-nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopies, attenuated total reflection infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry and gel permeation chromatography. The morphology of particles was observed using scanning electron microscope and the size and distribution of nanoparticles were measured with electrophoretic light scattering spectrophotometer. The mean diameter of particles decreased with increasing sonication amplitude and time. The addition of ethanol into UPHAS chloroform solution decreased the particle size presumably due to increased solvent diffusion into water phase. The particle size increased with increased the concentration of UPHAS solution. Under the 2-4％ poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) aqueous solution the minimum mean diameter of particles was shown. The higher degree of hydrolysis and degree of polymerization of PVA increased the mean diameter of particles.

ZnO nanoparticles were prepared by laser ablation of the ZnO powder dispersed in deionized water and surfactant solutions, and characterized using UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy, X-ray diffractometer and Transmission electron microscopy(TEM). ZnO nanoparticles produced show the pure ZnO crystal state without mixed state with Zn(OH)2 or Zn, and have the band gap energy of 3.35 eV, which is comparable to that of bulk ZnO. While ZnO nanoparticles prepared in SDS solution have the average diameter of 28nm with near spherical shape, those prepared in CTAB solution have the average size of 40 nm with mainly rod-like shape. ZnO colloidal solution of CTAB is more stable than that of SDS. These difference according to surfactants can be explained by difference of electrostatic interaction between surface charge of ZnO and surfactant molecules and by solvation effect in solution.

Dispersion polymerization of acrylamide was carried out in the media of ethyl alcohol/water mixtures using hydroxypropyl cellulose and ammonium persulfate as steric stabilizer and initiator, respectively. The effects of concentrations of initiator and steric stabilizer, amount of monomer, polymerization temperature, ethyl alcohol/water ratio, and purification of monomer and nitrogen purge on the particle size of the latices and molecular weight of the polymers were investigated. The average particle diameter increased with increasing concentration of initiator, water content in ethyl alcohol/water media, and polymerization temperature, but decreased with monomer and stabilizer concentrations. The viscosity average molecular weight increased with increasing concentrations of monomer, steric stabilizer, and water content in dispersion media, but decreased with initiator concentration and polymerization temperature. The PAM polymers prepared with the purified monomer and the nitrogen purging before the reaction showed the highest molecular weight. In this study, PAM latices of 0.5∼2.4 $\mu\textrm{m}$ with 20000∼335000 in M$\_$v/ were prepared and the resulting PAM latices were all dissolved in water instantly.

The effect of the average particle size and shape of silver nanoparticles for the transparent conductive film (TCF) was studied. Optical and electrical properties of silver conductive lines coated on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) film was also measured. Silver nanoparticles produced by Ag-CM, Ag-ME, Ag-EE methods showed an excellent conductivity compared to those produced by Ag-EB, Ag-CR and Ag-PL methods, but a little difference in the transparency. In the case of the former three silver nanoparticles, the average particle size was about 80 nm or less and the size was uniform. For the latter case, the severe agglomeration phenomena of particles was observed and the average particle size was 100 nm or more. This result was consistent with the result of the uniformity of the pattern shape and thickness on conductive line patterns observed by SEM. Therefore, it was confirmed that the electrical characteristics could be obtained when the average particle size of silver nanoparticles is smaller and the uniformity of the particles is maintained.

We tried to prepare polystyrene composite particles containing carbon black by suspension polymerization with water as a reaction medium. Hydrophobic silica was selected as a stabilizer and oil-soluble azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN), as an initiator. All polymerization reactions were carried out at a fixed temperature of $75^{\circ}C$. Stabilizer concentration was varied from $0.17{\sim}3.33wt%$ compared to water, where particles with $7.96{\mu}m$ in average diameter were obtained at 1.57 wt% of stabilizer. Increase in divinylbenzene concentration, as a crosslinking agent, from $0.1{\sim}1.0 wt%$ compared to monomer exhibited a large increase in average particle diameter Incorporation of 1wt% of carbon black compared to monomer produced an increase in average diameter It is speculated that viscosity lower than that necessary to induce even dispersion of carbon black particles led to poor dispersion, and as a result, large particles. For a styrene mixture containing 3 wt% carton black compared to monomer, enhanced dispersion due to an increase in carbon black concentration reduced average particle diameters. For styrene mixtures containing 1 and 3 wt% carbon black compared to monomer, preparticles before polymerization and polymer composite particles after polymerization showed a similar tendency towards particle formation. When carbon black concentration compared to monomer was increased to 5 and 7 wt%, styrene mixtures exhibited a large increase in viscosity and thus better dispersion of carbon black particles, which led to a decrease in preparticle diameters. However, these particles experienced agglomeration in the polymerization process, and polystyrene composite particles increased in average diameter.
