Three different alumina sols were prepared by hydrolyzing aluminum isopropoxide as a starting material in methanol solvent, followed by peptizing with acetic acid, nitric acid or hydrochloric acid as a peptizing agent by the Sol-Gel Method. Also, coating solutions were obtained by adding a silane coupling agent, (3-glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxysilane to the alumina sols, deposited on polycarbonate substrates by dip-coating and densified by thermal curing. The effect of types of peptizing agents was studied on the properties of coating films. As a result, coating films, prepared with hydrochloric acid or nitric acid as a peptizing agent, showed excellent properties of pencil hardness of H or 2H and adhesion of 5B. On the other hand, coating films, prepared with acetic acid as a peptizing agent, exhibited poor properties of pencil hardness of HB and adhesion of 3B.

In this study, the higher temperature thermal property of the fly ash-blast furnace slag system Geopolymer including alumina aggregate was investigated whether that Geopolymer will be or not useful as thermal-resistant construction materials. Under every mixing conditions, the crack on the surface of hardened body was not observed up to $800^{\circ}C$ and it corresponded with fact that level of changes was not significant before and after heating process. Residual compressive strength is most high when mixing Blast-Furnace Slag ratio is 60 wt% until temperature reaches $800^{\circ}C$. The major hydrates of hardened body of Geopolymer; amorphous halo pattern between $20{\sim}35^{\circ}$ (2theta) and mullite ($3Al_2O_3{\cdot}2SiO_2$) and quartz ($SiO_2$) was found during the experiment. Amorphous halo pattern was a aluminosilicate gel generated by geopolymeric polycondensation and it was found that the halo pattern of aluminosilicate gel was preserved up to $800^{\circ}C$. The patterns of aluminosilicate gel disappeared from $1,000^{\circ}C$ and crystal phases like gehlenite, calcium silicate, calcium aluminum oxide, microcline was observed with the increase of exposure temperature.

The polymeric alumina sol was prepared by partial hydrolysis of aluminum sec-butoxide reacted with acetylacetone and its characteristics was investigated. The effects of alcohol solvent, acetylacetone, and acid concentration to the sol were investigated. FT-IR and Al27-MASNMR were used to study hydrolysis and polymerization reaction of aluminum complex. Synthesized sol showed the characteristics of polymeric alumina sol. To make a clear polymeric alumina sol, the optimum contents of acetylacetone, H2O and alcohol solvent were 0.4-0.6 mole, 0.25-1.25 mole, 3-5 mole per one mole alkoxide respectively. As a result of the Al27-MASNMR analysis, it was noted that hexa-penta-coordinated Al were main structure.

Aluminum was anodized in a $H_2SO_4$ solution, and titanium (IV) oxide ($TiO_2$) was electrodeposited into nanopores of anodic porous alumina in a mixed solution of $TiOSO_4$ and $(COOH)_2$. The photocatalytic activity of the prepared film was analyzed for photodegradation of methylene blue aqueous solution. Consequently, we found it was possible to electrodeposit $TiO_2$ onto anodic porous alumina, and synthesized it into the nanopores by hydrolysis of a titanium complex ion under AC 8-9 V when film thickness was about $15-20{\mu}m$. The photocatalytic activity of $TiO_2$-loaded anodic porous alumina ($TiO_2/Al_2O_3$) at an impressed voltage of 9 V was the highest in every condition, being about 12 times as high as sol-gel $TiO_2$ on anodic porous alumina. The results revealed that anodic porous alumina is effective as a substrate for photocatalytic film and that high-activity $TiO_2$ film can be prepared at low cost.

In this study, we introduce a Na β"-alumina composite thick film as a solid electrolyte, to reduce the resistance of electrolyte for a Na/S battery. An alumina/zirconia composite material was used to enhance the mechanical properties of the electrolyte. A solid electrolyte of about 40 ㎛ thick was successfully fabricated through the conversion and tape-casting methods. In order to investigate the effect of the surface treatment process of the solid electrolyte on the battery performance, the electrolyte was polished by dry and wet processes, respectively, and then the Na/S batteries were prepared for analyzing the battery characteristics. The battery with the dry process performed much better than the battery made with the wet process. As a result, the battery manufactured by the dry process showed excellent performance. Therefore, it is confirmed that the surface treatment process of the solid electrolyte has an important effect on the battery capacity and coulombic efficiency, as well as the interface reaction.

Aluminum sec-butoxide was synthesized from aluminum foil and alcohol. The characteristics of the alumina powder prepared from the synthesized alkoxide by the Yoldas method were studied. As a result of measuring the synthesized aluminum sec-butoxide by GC, the purity of the synthesized alkoxide was 98.7% on the basis of commercial alkoxide and the yield was 78.5%. A127-MASNMR analysis shows that powders dried at 9$0^{\circ}C$ and $\alpha$-Al2O3 have 6-cordinated structure and ${\gamma}$-Al2O3 has 4-coordinated structure. The characteristics of alumina powder prepared from the synthisized alkoxide showed the same characteristics with the alumina powder prepared from the commercial alkoxide.

The catalytic filter of Cu-ZSM5/alumina beads was considered to reduce NOx in the urea SCR system. Catalytic support of porous alumina beads with mean pore size $130{\mu}m$ and porosity $75{\sim}83%$ were prepared using foaming and gel-casting method. The Cu-ZSM5 catalysts were coated on the supporting alumina beads using $Cu(NO_3)_2$ by ion exchange method. After a washcoating process was applied to coat 10w% Cu-ZSM5 on porous alumina bead, coating layer was estimated $20{\mu}m$ in thickness. The characterization and the feasibility as a catalytic supports were investigated. And the NOx conversion test in Cu-ZSM5/Alumina Beads filter system was conducted by using Urea as reductants under laboratory test. The NOx conversion was increased as size and porosity of beads and observed more than 95% excellent NOx conversion above $300^{\circ}C$.

Alumina tubes suitable for the support of gas separation membranes have been prepared by the slipcasting technique. These supports have the average pore size of 0.1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ within the narrow distribution. The sol-gel dipcoating process of nanoparticulate sols is very sensitive to microstructure of the support, and the coating on the inside surface of the tube is found to be more successful than on the outside surface. Nanoparticulate silica sols (0.82 mol/ι) have been synthesized by an interfacial hydrolysis reaction between TEOS and high alkaline water. When coating an alumina tube with these sols, the minimum limits of the particle size and the aging time required for forming the coated gel layer at the given pH are provided. It is optimum to coat the support with less concentrated sols stabilized through aging for the appropriate time (more than 22 days) at the lower pH (pH 2.0) for producing a reproducible crack free thin film coating in composite membranes.

본 연구는 광전자촉매 시스템(PECS) 적용을 위하여 광촉매 금속판과 코팅비드를 제조하여 특성을 고찰하였다. 광촉매 물질의 회수가 용이하고, 실용화하기 위하여 티타늄 금속판을 $400^{\circ}C$에서 $700^{\circ}C$까지 $50^{\circ}C$에서 $100^{\circ}C$간격으로 토치를 사용하여 산화처리 하였으며, 비드의 경우 alumina, glass, silica gel beads에 TTIP([Ti$(OC_3H_7)_4$], Aldrich)을 전구체로 사용하여, 유동층 화학기상증착공정(Fluidized Bed Chemical Vapor Deposition, FB-CVD)으로 박막코팅을 하였다. 광촉매 금속판의 경우 산화처리 후 외관상태와 성분분석 시 최적조건은 $400^{\circ}C{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ 60분간 토치로 산화하였을 때였으며, 광촉매 코팅비드의 경우 silica gel beads가 본연의 다공구조를 나타내며 박막코팅이 되어, 상대적으로 alumina, glass beads에 비해 반응표면적이 크게 나타났다.
