PVP-protected Ag, Pd and $Pt_{50}-Ru_{50}$ colloids were prepared independently by using ${\gamma}$-irradiation and electron beam (EB) at ambient temperature. UV-visible spectra of these colloids show the characteristic bands of surface resonance and give evidence for the formation of nanoparticles. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) experiments were used to know the morphology of nanoparticles prepared by ${\gamma}$-irradiation and EB. The size of Ag, Pd, and $Pt_{50}-Ru_{50}$ nanoparticles prepared by ${\gamma}$-irradiation was ca. 13, 2-3, 15 nm, respectively. While, the size of Ag, Pd, and $Pt_{50}-Ru_{50}$ nanoparticles prepared by EB was ca. 10, 6, and 1-3 nm, respectively. Cyclic voltamograms (CV) were recorded for the Au electrodes immobilized with these nanoparticles. CVs indicated the modifications in the surface as a result of immobilization.

금속콜로이드에 흡착된 4-biphenyl acetonitrile(BPAN)을 $\alpha$-cyclodextrin($\alpha$-CD)으로 포접시킴으로 써 흡착배향을 변화시킬 수 있는지 여부를 알아보기 위하여 형광분광법을 이용하여 연구를 수행하였다. Au와 Ag 콜로이드 표면에 BPAN이 직접 흡착되는지 확인하기 위하여 온도증가에 따른 형광의 소광을 관찰하였다. 흡착이 이루어진 BPAN은 금속콜로이드의 종류에 상관없이 $\alpha$-CD와 포접화합물을 형성함을 발견하였으며 Benesi-Hildebrand 도시로부터 Au와 Ag에 흡착된 BPAN과 $\alpha$-CD의 포접화합물에 대한 형성 상수가 각각 32 $M^{-1}$과 13 $M^{-1}$인 것을 알아냈다. Au와 Ag 두 금속콜로이드에 흡착된 분자의 유사한 거동으로부터 $\alpha$-CD를 이용하여 분자의 흡착배향을 변화시킬 수 있음을 알게 되었다.

The behavior of optical properties of ion exchanged glasses was investigated inthis study. The used glasses were soda-lime-silica glasses that were produced by float process. The coloring effect by Ag colloids is measrued by spectral transmittance, color coordinates, dominant wavelength and excitation purity resulting from silver ions exchange of glasses immersed into the mixed molten salt with AgNO3. Ion exchange coloring of glasses made it possible to obtain glasses with a range from yellow to brown, and transmittance was decreased with increasing the amount of Ag colloids which reduced from Ag+ions. Also, obtain from yellow to reddish brown with increasing purity by reheating treatment in air for ion exchanged glasses. The size of Ag colloids are 0.02~0.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with ion exchange conditions.

Chiral separation of arylalcohols such as 1-phenyl-1-propanol, 1-phenyl-2-propanol, and 2-phenyl-1-propanol by capillary electrophoresis was studied using sulfonated $\beta$-cyclodextrin (CD) as a chiral selector and Ag colloids as an additive. The optimum separation condition of arylalcohols was found to be the chiral selector concentration of 6.5 mM, applied voltage of 15 kV, and pH of 7.0. In order to improve chiral separation, an Ag colloid was mixed with a running buffer. The resolution in the Ag colloid-mixed running buffer was considerably superior to that obtained with the sulfonated $\beta$-CD alone. The molar ratio of sulfonated $\beta$-CD to Ag colloid, which is one of critical parameters affecting resolution, was found to be optimum at 65 : 1. In order to elucidate the resolution mechanism, an inclusion-complex of the arylalcohols with sulfonated $\beta$-CD was prepared by mixing and shaking in solution, and then characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV). The inclusion mechanism was also discussed using experimental results.

Controlled reduction of silver alkylcarbamate complexes with hydrogen gas was investigated as a facile synthetic method for high concentrations of silver nanocolloids in organic solvent. Polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) was used to stabilize the silver colloids obtained from the chemical reduction. To determine optimum conditions for preparation of the stable and controlled silver colloids with the narrowest particle size and distribution, a large number of experiments were carried out involving variations in the concentrations of the silver 2-ethylhexylcarbamate (Ag-EHCB) complex, PVP, and 2-propanol. The initial colloid had a mean particle diameter between 5$\sim$50 nm, as measured by transmission electron microscopy, and exhibited a sharp absorption band in the UV region with a maximum size near 420 nm. After treatment with a reducing agent, the colloids were characterized by ultraviolet-visible spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, and high-resolution transmission electron microscopy.

Coloring effect, mechanical properties resulting from silver ions exchange of glasses immersed into the mixed molten salt of KNO3 and AgNO3 were investigated in this study. Ion exchange coloring of glasses made it possible to obtain glasses with a range from yellow to yellowish-brown, and spectral transmittance was investigated. The amount of ion exchange and peneration depth increased with treatment temperature and time. The activation energy decreased with mole fraction of AgNO3. It can be seem that the bending strength of ion exchanged glasses were 3~4 times higher than the parent glass and Ag+ colloids prevented from increasing surface microhardness.

Since the general solar cells accept sun light at the front side, excluding the electrode area, electrons move from the emitter to the front electrode and start to collect at the grid edge. Thus the edge of gridline can be important for electrical properties of screen-printed silicon solar cells. In this study, the improvement of electrical properties in screen-printed crystalline silicon solar cells by contact treatment of grid edge was investigated. The samples with $60{\Omega}/{\square}$ and $70{\Omega}/{\square}$ emitter were prepared. After front side of samples was deposited by SiNx commercial Ag paste and Al paste were printed at front side and rear side respectively. Each sample was co-fired between $670^{\circ}C$ and $780^{\circ}C$ in the rapid thermal processing (RTP). After the firing process, the cells were dipped in 2.5% hydrofluoric acid (HF) at room temperature for various times under 60 seconds and then rinsed in deionized water. (This is called "contact treatment") After dipping in HF for a certain period, the samples from each firing condition were compared by measurement. Cell performances were measured by Suns-Voc, solar simulator, the transfer length method and a field emission scanning electron microscope. According to HF treatment, once the thin glass layer at the grid edge was etched, the current transport was changed from tunneling via Ag colloids in the glass layer to direct transport via Ag colloids between the Ag bulk and the emitter. Thus, the transfer length as well as the specific contact resistance decreased. For more details a model of the current path was proposed to explain the effect of HF treatment at the edge of the Ag grid. It is expected that HF treatment may help to improve the contact of high sheet-resistance emitter as well as the contact of a high specific contact resistance.

We have studied the surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) spectrum of quinomethionate (6-methyl-1,3-dithiolo[4,5-b]quinoxalin-2-one), which is an insecticide or fungicide used on vegetables and wheat. We observed no signals in the ordinary Raman spectra of solid-state quinomethionate, but when it was adsorbed on a colloidal silver surface, strong vibrational signals were obtained at a very low concentration. The SERS spectra were obtained by silver colloids prepared by the Creighton et al. method. The influence of pH and the aggregation inductors ($Cl^-,\;Br^-,\;I^-,\;F^-$) on the adsorption mechanism was investigated. Two different adsorption mechanisms were deduced, depending on the experimental conditions: The one N atom or two N atoms are chemisorbed on an Ag surface. An important contribution of the chemical mechanism was inferred when the one N atom was perpendicularly adsorbed on a surface. It is possible that quinomethionate can be detected to about $10^{-5}$ M.

Currently, e-textile market is rapidly expanding and the emerging area of e-textiles requires electrically conductive threads for diverse applications, including wearable innovative e-textiles that can transmit/receive and display data with a variety of functions. This study introduces hybrid nano-structures which may help increase the conductivity of the textile threads for use in wearable and flexible smart apparels. For this aim, Ag was selected as a conductive material, and yarn treatment was implemented where silver nanowire (AgNW) and graphene flake (GF) hybrid structures overcome the limitations of the AgNW alone. The yarn treatment includes several treatment conditions, e.g., annealing temperature, annealing time, binder material such as polyurethane (PU), coating time, in order to search for the optimum method to form stable conductive nano-scale composite materials as thin film on the surface of textile yarns. Treatedyarns showed improved electrical resistance readings. The functionality of the spandex yarn as a stretchable conductive thread was also demonstrated. When the yarn specimens were treated with colloid of AgNW/GF, relatively good electrical conductivity value was obtained. During the extension and recovery cycles of the treated yarns, the initial resistance values did not deteriorate significantly, since the network of nanowire structure with the support of GF and polyurethane stayed flexible and stable. Through this research, it was found that when one-dimensional structure of AgNW and two-dimensional structure of GF were mixed as colloids and treated on the surface of textile yarns, flexible and stretchable electrical conductor could be formed.

$Ag^+$ 이온을 주성분으로 하는 $Ag^+N$과 $Ag^0$ 나노입자를 주성분으로 하는 $Ag^0NP$의 미생물학적 독성을 Microtox 생물검정법을 이용하여 수용액과 토양에서 용량-반응관계를 이용하여 비교, 평가하였다. 수용액 실험에서 Vibrio fisheri의 50% 발광 저해율을 보여주는 $EC_{50}$ 값은 $Ag^+N$이 $Ag^0NP$ 보다 현저히 낮게 나타나, 이온상태의 $Ag^+N$이 독성이 훨씬 높음을 알 수 있었다. 노출시간이 15분에서 30분으로 증가하면 독성 또한 증가했다. 반대로 토양 추출액 실험에서는 $Ag^+N$의 $ED_{50}$ 값이 $Ag^0NP$의 값 보다 높아, $Ag^+N$의 독성이 더 낮게 나타났다. 이것은 $Ag^+N$의 $Ag^+$가 토양 입자 또는 부식산에 강하게 흡착 되거나, Microtox 희석제 NaCl과 반응하여 난용해성 AgCl 침전물을 형성하여, 토양 추출액 중의 활성 Ag 농도가 감소한 것에 기인하는 것으로 판단되었다. Microtox 분석에 의한 Ag 나노용액의 생물학적 독성은 Ag의 존재형태 ($Ag^+$, $Ag^0$), 반응매질 (수용액, 토양), 노출시간에 따라 서로 상이한 결과를 보여 주었다.
