Friction and wear behavior of tungsten oxide nanorods (TONs) was investigated using friction force microscopy(FFM) employing colloidal probes instead of conventional sharp tips. Vertically well-ordered TONs with 40 nm diameter, 130 nm length and 100 nm pitch width were synthesized on an anodic aluminium oxide substrate using two step electrochemical anodizing processes. The colloidal probe (diameter 20 ${\mu}m$) attached at the free end of tipless cantilever was oscillated(scanned) against a stationary surface of vertically aligned TONs with various scan speeds (1.2 ${\mu}m/s$, 3.0 ${\mu}m/s$ and 6.0 ${\mu}m/s$) and sliding cycles (100, 200 and 400) under normal load of 800 nN. The friction force and wear depth decreased with the increase of the scan speed. Plastically deformed thin layers were formed and sparsely deposited on the worn nonorod surface. The lower wear rate of the TONs with the longer oscillating cycles was attributed to the decreased real contact pressure due to the increase of real contact area between the colloidal probe and the TONs.

In photoelectrochemical (PEC) water splitting, Cu2ZnSnS4 (CZTS) compound has attracted intense attention as a photocathode due to not only large optical absorption coefficient, but also earth-abundance of constituent elements and suitable band alignment. With rapid development of nanotechnology, one-dimensional nanostructures of CZTS have been investigated as a potential form to achieve high efficiency because the nanostructures are expected to be capable of capturing more light and enhancing charge separation and transport. Here, we report a well-controlled fabrication route for vertically-aligned CZTS nanorod arrays on anodic aluminium oxide (AAO) template via simple sol-gel process followed by deposition of ZnS or CdS buffer layers on the CZTS nanorod to enhance charge separation. The structure, morphology, composition, optical absorption, and PEC properties of the resulting CZTS nanorod samples were characterized using X-ray diffraction, Raman spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectrometry, scanning electron microscopy, and UV-vis spectroscopy.

최근 나노 구조 (nano structure)를 만들기 위한 시도 중 하나로서 스스로 조직화(self organization)하여 나노 구조를 형성하는 물질을 나노 소자 제작을 위한 형틀 (template)로 이용하려는 시도가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이러한 물질로서 주목을 받고있는 것 중 하나가 전해질 용액에서 알루미늄을 양극산화(anodization) 시켰을 때 형성되는 다공성 알루미나 박막이다. 본 연구에서는 고 순도 알루미늄을 기계적으로 연마(mechanical polishing)하고 공기 분위기에서 어닐링 (annealing)하여 알루미늄을 재결정화(recrystallization) 시키고 인가 전압이 40 V인 정 전압하에서 0.3 M의 수산(oxalic acid)을 전해질로 사용하면서 양극산화를 수행하여 평균 직경이 65 nm인 고도로 배열된 육방밀집구조의 나노 다공성 박막을 제작하였다. 또한 같은 방향의 육방밀집 배열은 크기가 수 ${\mu}m$인 영역(grain)을 형성하고 있었으며, 평균적인 pore의 밀도는 $1.1{\times}10^{10}/cm^2$였다.

알루미늄 합금은 기존에는 경량소재로써 각광을 받아왔지만, 최근에는 다양한 전자 및 기계 부품에서 방열이 크게 대두 됨에 따라 방열 소재로써의 관심이 증가하고 있다. 알루미늄 합금의 고유한 표면처리법인 양극산화에의해 생성되는 산화층의 열전도도에 대한 연구를 실시하였다. 또한, 이들 산화층은 실리이라는 후처리에 의해서 기공구조의 변화가 일어나는데, 이 실링 처리가 열전도도에 미치는 영향에 대해서 확인해 보았다. 양극 산화피막의 미세 기공층이 비어있는 경우에 비해서 실링에 의해서 기공이 산화물 및 수산화물로 채워진 경우 열전도도가 증가하였다. 또한, 산화층의 기공률에 따라서 열전도도가 증가되는 비율의 차이가 발생하였다.

본 연구에서는 전해증착법을 이용하여 결정성 ZnTe 나노와이어를 성장시켰고, 구조적 및 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 또한 나노와이어 성장에 앞서, 결정성 ZnTe 박막을 전해증착법으로 형성하였고, 그 박막의 특성을 관찰하였다. 화학양론적(stoichiometric) 조성을 가지는 박막을 성장시키기 위하여, 순환전류전압법(cyclicvoltammetry)을 이용하여 Zn, Te, 이온들과 구연산 착화체(citrate-complexes)로 구성된 수용액 전해질에서 각 원소의 환원전위 분석이 이루어졌고, 과전압(overpotential)과 전해질 온도와 농도등과 같은 전해증착 조건에 따라 박막을 증착하였다. 각 조건에서 전해증착된 박막은 주사전자현미경(SEM)과 EDS를 이용하여 표면과 두께 그리고 성분분석을 하였고, XRD 분석법을 이용하여 박막의 결정성 변화를 관찰하였다. 박막증착 실험에서의 알맞은 증착조건을 나노와이어 전해증착실험에 적용하여, 다공성의 양극산화알루미늄(Anodic Aluminium Oxide, AAO) 템플레이트를 이용하여 bottom-up 방식으로 결정성 ZnTe 나노와이어를 성장시켰다. 수산화 나트륨(NaOH)용액을 이용하여 템플레이트를 선택적으로 에칭하여 제거한 후, ZnTe 나노와이어의 구조적 및 전기적 특성을 분석하였다.

The preparation of structures with nanosized arrays allows mimicking many different morphologies that exist in nature. In addition, polymer is considered as a material that can be easily applicable to the fabrication of nanostructures and can effectively exhibit nanosize effects since material, synthesis and processing cost is low, and many of polymer structures are well studied. Porous alumina template prepared by anodization of aluminum among nanofabrication methods is the one of promising routes that cost-effectively provides very regularly arrayed nanostructures. In this review, we describe the fabrication of the nanotemplate and template-based polymer nanostructures and their applications.

Aluminium foil for electrolytic capacitors was anodized at the voltage of 100V and 140V for 10 minutes in ammonium adipate solution to form aluminum oxide layer on aluminum substrate as an dielectric film. The thickness, the stoichiometry and the crystal structure of the layer were investigated by using RBS and TEM . In addition EIS technique was employed to study the effects of addition of sulfuric acid on the increment of the foil surface area. It was found that the thickness values of the layers anodized at 100V and 140V were about 130 nm and 190 nm respectively and the stoichiometry of the elements of aluminum and oxygen was 2:3. The anodic oxide layer was shown to be amorphous. but the structure irradiated with electron beam resulted in the transformation into crystalline structure of $${\gamma}$-Al_2$$O_3$ . From a comparison of the impedance results and the capacitance variation to investigate the ef- fects of sulfuric acid addition to the etching bath of hydrochloric acid, the EIS techinque could be useful to analyze the capacitance variation.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the tensile bond strength of adhesive resins to successively recast Rexillium III and Degudent-U. Recasting was done 4times successively. Specimen $A_1$, were cast by new metal, and $A_2$ by surpus of $A_1$, $A_3$ by surplus of, $A_2$ $A_4$ by surplus of $A_3$, $A_5$ by surplus of $A_4$ plus 50% new metal. The types of surface treatment for resinbonded restoration in this experiment were electrolytic etching by OXY-ETCH(Oxy dental products, Inc., Hillside, New Jersey, U.S,A.), aluminum oxide blasting, anodic oxidation by EZ-OXISOR( Towagiken Co., Kyoto, Japan), electrotinplating by Kura Ace(Kuralay Co., Kyoto, Japan). Three kinds of cementing resin used in this study were Comspan(K.P. Cauil Co, Milford Delaware, U.S.A.), Super Bond C&B(Sun-Medical Co. Ltd., Kyoto,Japan), Panavia EX(Kuralay Co., Ltd., Osaka, Japan). Tensile bond strength was measured by Instron Universal testing machineModel 1125) and all the specimen were observed with SEM(JEOL, JSM-T2000) and mode of bond failure were recorded. The obtained results were as follows : 1. In electrolytic etched group, tensile bond strength was decreassed when recast alloy was used, and tensile bond strength of Compan and panavia EX were not significantly different(P>0.05). 2. In remaining group treated by aluminum oxide blasting, EZ-OXIOR, Kura Ace, tensile bond strength were not changed when recast alloy were used, and tensile bond strength of SuperBond(C&B and Panavia EX were not significantly different(P>0.05). 3. IN SEM evaluation, electrolytic etched group and electrotinplated group exhibited different image when recast alloy was used, and remaining groups treated by aluminum oxide blasting, EZ-OXISOR exhibited the same. 4. IN observation of bond failure, electrolytic etched group exhibited adhesive failure and remaing groups treated by aluminium oxid blasting, EZ-OXISOR, Kura Ace exhibited adhesive and cohesive failure.
