CdS nanostructure materials have been fabricated in porous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO) template by using chemical bath deposition (CBD). These nanostructure materials had uniform diameters of about 15e200 nm, which correspond to the pore sizes of the templates used, and the length was up to 40 mm. X-ray diffraction (XRD) investigation demonstrates that CdS nanostructure materials were hexagonal polycrystalline in nature. As the pore diameter of AAO templates was enlarged, the preferential orientation of c-axis was improved. From PL analysis, the sulfur-deficient defects at the surfaces of CdS nanostructure materials were increasedwhen the samplewas synthesized in the template with larger pore diameter.

Intra-type alumina-based nanocomposites, in which second-phase nanoparticles are embedded within alumina grains, use dislocation activities to enhance strength and fracture toughness. The dislocations are generated around the nanoparticles by residual stresses during cooling process. In this paper, first, we explain strengthening and toughening mechanisms of alumina-based nanocomposites based on dislocation activities. Second, we propose a soaking method to construct the intra-type nanostructure and fabricate alumina/nickel and alumina/silver nanocomposites. The nanocomposites are then annealed in order to enhance the fracture toughness of the materials. Finally, we discuss the relation between the strength, fracture toughness, and critical frontal process zone size of the materials.

This study investigated the mechanical tearing of a cell membrane using a nanostructured alumina filter for easy and quick mechanical cell disruption. Nanostructured alumina filters were prepared by a multi-step aluminum anodizing process and nanopore etching process. Six different types of nanostructures were formed on the surface of the nanoporous alumina filters to compare the mechanical cell disruption characteristics according to the shape of the nanostructure. The prepared alumina filter was assembled in a commercial filter holder, and then, NIH3T3 fibroblast cells in a buffer solution were passed through the nanostructured alumina filter at a constant pressure. By measuring the concentration of proteins and DNA, the characteristics of mechanical cell disruption of the nanostructured alumina filter were investigated.

Single crystalline Cu nanowires with controlled diameters and aspect ratios have been synthesized using electrochemical deposition within confined nanochannels of a porous anodic aluminium oxide(AAO) template. The diameters of nano-sized cylindrical pores in AAO template were adjusted by controlling the anodization conditions. Cu nanowires with diameters of approximately 38, 99, 274 nm were synthesized by the electrodeposition using the AAO templates. The crystal structure, morphology and microstructure of the Cu nanowires were systematically investigated using XRD, FE-SEM, TEM and SAED. Investigation results revealed that the Cu nanowires had the controlled diameter, high aspect ratio and single crystalline nature.

Nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO), a self-ordered hexagonal array has various applications for nanofabrication such as nanotemplate, and nanostructure. In order to obtain highly-ordered porous alumina membranes, Masuda et al. proposed a two-step anodization process however this process is confined to small domain size and long hours. Recently, alternative methods overcoming limitations of two-step process were used to make prepatterned Al surface. In this work, we confirmed that there is a specific tendency used a PDMS stamp to obtain a pre-patterned Al surface. Using the nanoindentaions of a PDMS stamp as chemical carrier for wet etching, we can easily get ordered nanoporous template without two-step process. This chemical etching method using a PDMS stamp is very simple, fast and inexpensive. We use two types of PDMS stamps that have different intervals (800nm, 1200nm) and change some parameters have influenced the patterning of being anodized, applied voltage, soaking and stamping time. Through these factors, we demonstrated the patterning effect of large scale PDMS stamp.

Alumina/silver nanocomposites were fabricated using a soaking method through a sol-gel route to construct an intra-type nanostructure. The pulse electric-current sintering (PECS) technique was used to sinter the nanocomposites. Several specimens were annealed after sintering. The microstructure, mechanical properties, critical frontal process zone (FPZ) size, and thermo-mechanical properties of the nanocomposites were estimated. The relative densities of the specimens sintered at 1350 and $1450^{\circ}C$ were 95% and 99%, respectively. The maximum value of the three-point bending strength was found to be 780 MPa for the $2{\times}2{\times}10 mm$ specimen sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$. The fracture toughness of the specimen sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ was measured to be $3.60 MPa{\cdot}m^{1/2}$ using the single-edge V-notched beam (SEVNB) technique. The fracture mode of the nanocomposites was transgranular, in contrast to the intergranular mode of monolithic alumina. The fracture morphology suggested that dislocations were generated around the silver nanoparticles dispersed within the alumina matrix. The specimens sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ were annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ for 5 min, following which the maximum fracture strength became 810 MPa and the fracture toughness improved to $4.21 MPam^{1/2}$. The critical FPZ size was the largest for the specimen annealed at $800^{\circ}C$ for 5 min. Thermal conductivity of the alumina/silver nanocomposites sintered at $1350^{\circ}C$ was 38 W/mK at room temperature, which was higher than the value obtained with the law of mixture.

This article presents the challenges toward the successful consolidation of $Al_2O_3$ nanopowder using magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC). In this research the ultrafine-structured $Al_2O_3$ bulks have been fabricated by the combined application of magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC) and subsequent sintering, and their properties were investigated. The obtained density of $Al_2O_3$ bulk prepared by the combined processes was increased with increasing MPC pressure from 0.5 to 1.25 GPa. Relatively higher hardness and fracture toughness in the MPCed specimen at 1.25 GPa were attributed to the retention of the nanostructure in the consolidated bulk without cracks. The higher fracture toughness could be attributed to the crack deflection by homogeneous distribution and the retention of nanostructure, regardless of the presence of porosities. In addition, the as consolidated $Al_2O_3$ bulk using magnetic pulsed compaction showed enhanced breakdown voltage.

나노크기의 기공을 갖는 AAO(Anodic Aluminum Oxide)를 이용하여 Si 기판 위에 열 증착 방식으로 Ni 나노구조체를 제작하였다. 제작된 나노구조체는 직경과 높이가 80nm정도로 거의 비슷한 원기둥 형태를 보였다. Ni 나노구조체의 자기적 특성은 광자기효과(Magneto-Optic Kerr effect)를 이용하여 측정하였고, 함께 성장시킨 박막(continuous film)과 비교하였다. 종횡비(aspect ratio)가 1 : 1 정도인 나노구조체의 자화용이축은 평면방향으로 자화용이축을 보이는 박막과는 달리 수직자기이방성을 보여주었으며, 수직 및 수평방향으로 자기장을 가하면서 얻은 자기이력곡선(hysteresis loop)으로부터 나노구조체의 포화자기장(saturation field)과 보자력(coercivity)이 박막과는 많은 차이를 보였다. 박막에서 거의 무시할 만한 값을 갖는 수직방향의 자기이력곡선에서 측정된 잔류자화(remanent magnetization) 나노구조체에서는 0.3으로 크게 증가했다.

양극산화 알루미늄(anodic aluminum oxide, AAO) 나노템플레이트는 제작이 쉬우며, 저비용, 대면적 제작이 가능하다는 장점으로 인해 이를 나노 전자소자 제작에 응용하려는 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 이러한 나노템플레이트를 이용하면 기공의 직경이나 밀도를 변화킴으로써 나노구조의 물질의 크기나 밀도를 제어할 수 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 나노 전자소자 제작에 응용할 수 있는 AAO 나노템플레이트를 2단계 양극산화법에 의해 제조하였다. 이를 위해 기존의 알루미늄 판 대신 실리콘 웨이퍼 상에 DC 마그네트론 스퍼터법으로 $2{\mu}m$ 두께의 알루미늄 박막을 증착하였고, 전해액으로 사용한 옥살산 용액의 온도 및 양극산화 전압에 따른 다공성 알루미나 막의 미세구조를 조사하였다. 전해액 온도가 $8^{\circ}C$에서 $20^{\circ}C$로 높아짐에 따라 다공성 알루미나 막의 성장속도는 86.2 nm/min에서 179.5 nm/min으로 증가하였다. 최적 조건에서 제작된 AAO 나노 템플레이트의 기공 직경 및 깊이는 각각 70 nm와 $1\;{\mu}m$이었다.

A superhydrophobic surface with a water contact angle > $150^{\circ}$ has attracted great interest from both fundamental and practical aspects. In this study, we demonstrated that hydrophobicity of a silica nanotube (SNT) array can be easily controlled by the SNT aspect ratio. In addition, the adhesive and anti-adhesive properties were controlled without modifying the hydrophobic surface. Various silica structures on a polydimethylsiloxane substrate were prepared using the desired alumina template. Bundle-arrayed and bowl-arrayed silica surfaces exhibited extraordinary superhydrophobicity due to the large frontal surface area and hierarchical micro/nanostructure. As the strategy used in this study is biocompatible and a wide range of hydrophobicities are capable of being controlled by the SNT aspect ratio, a hydrophobic surface composed of an SNT array could be an attractive candidate for bioapplications, such as cell and protein chips.
