Interests in micro/nano-particles have been greatly increasing due to their wide applications in various fields such as environmental and medical sciences as well as engineering. In order to obtain a fundamental understanding of the tribological characteristics at particle-surface contact interface, frictional behaviors according to load/pressure and materials were obtained by using atomic force microscope(AFM) cantilevers with different stiffnesses and tips. Lateral contact stiffnesses were observed in various tip-surface contact situations. Experimental results show that stick-slip friction behavior occurs even when the colloidal probes with a particle of a few micrometers in diameter, which have a relatively large contact area and lack a well-shaped apex, were used. This indicates that atomic stick-slip friction may be a more common phenomenon than it is currently thought to be. Also, experimental results were investigated by considering the competition between the stiffness of the interatomic potential across the interface and the elastic stiffnesses of the contacting materials and the force sensor itself.

Most commercially available detonation nanodiamonds (DNDs) require further processing to qualify for use in biomedical applications, as they often contain many impurities and exhibit poor dispersibility in aqueous media. In this work, DNDs are modified to improve purity and impart a high colloidal stability to the particles. The dispersive and adsorption properties of modified DNDs are evaluated in terms of the suitability of DNDs as carriers for non-steroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) in transdermal delivery. The study of adsorption on strongly positively and strongly negatively charged DNDs showed their high loading capacity for NSAIDs, and a pronounced relationship between the drugs and the particles' charges. Experiments on long-term desorption carried out with DND/NSAID complexes indicate that the nanoparticles exert a sustained effect on the drug release process.

실리카 콜로이드 용액의 한외여과에서 중력 방향에 대한 막모듈의 위치(경사각) 변화에 따라 발생되는 자연대류 불안정 흐름이 막오염 형성 감소에 미치는 효과를 규명하였다. 막표면에 케이크 층을 형성함으로써 막투과 플럭스의 감소를 발생시키는 실리카 입자(평균 크기 = 7, 12, 22, 50 및 78 nm)가 함유된 5가지 종류의 콜로이드 용액을 사용하여 중력 방향에 대한 막모듈의 위치(경사각 = $0{\sim}180^{\circ}$)에 따른 막투과 플럭스 변화를 교반이 없는 회분식(dead-end) 한외여과 실험을 통해 측정하였다. 자연대류 불안정 흐름 발생이 막성능에 미치는 효과는 플럭스 향상도($E_i$)로서 평가하였다. 상대적으로 크기가 작은 실리카 입자(7, 12 및 22 nm)가 함유된 콜로이드 용액의 한외여과에서는 막모듈의 경사각이 커짐에 따라 자연 대류 불안정 흐름 발생의 강도가 증가하였으며, 동일한 경사각에서 실리카 입자의 크기가 작을수록 자연대류 불안정 흐름의 발생 정도가 더 크게 나타났다. 자연대류 불안정 흐름의 발생은 막표면에 형성된 실리카 케이크층의 벌크 용액으로의 역이동(back transport)을 유발시킴으로써 플럭스 향상의 막성능 개선 효과를 나타내었다. 그러나 상대적으로 크기가 큰 실리카 입자(50 및 78 nm)가 함유된 콜로이드 용액의 한외여과에서는 자연대류 불안정 흐름 발생이 나타나지 않았다. 이 결과로부터 실리카 입자의 크기가 자연대류 불안정 흐름의 발생 강도에 영향을 미치고 있음을 알 수 있었다.

Surface modification of colloidal silica nanoparticles without disrupting the electric double layer of nanoparticles is a major challenge. In the work, silane was employed to modify colloidal silica nanoparticles without inducing bridge flocculation obviously. The effect of pH value of the silica sol, the amount of silane in feed, and reaction temperature on the graft amount and the final size of modified particles was investigated. The increased weight loss by TG and the appearance of $T_2$ and $T_3$ except for $Q_2$ and $Q_3$ signals by CP/MAS $^{29}Si$ NMR of the modified samples verified the successful grafting of silane. The graft amount reached 0.57 mmol/g, which was slightly lower than theory value, and the particle size remained nearly the same as unmodified particles for acidic silica sol at the optimum condition. For alkaline silica sol after modification, aggregates composed of several nanoparticles connected together with silane moleculars as the bridge appeared.

이 연구는 화장품에 사용가능한 촉매제를 사용하여 콜로이달 골드를 합성하는 제조법과 이를 이용한 피부 개선 효과를 가진 항노화 엠플에 응용하였다. 하이드로젠테트라클로로아우레이트테트라하이드레이트에 아스코르빅애씨드, 소듐보로하이드라이드를 환원촉매제로 사용하여 나노 콜로이드를 합성하였다. 촉매제인 아스코르빅애씨드의 함량의 질량이 증가될수록 입자가 작아지는 것을 확인하였다. 반면 소듐보로하이드라이드의 질량이 증가될수록 입자크기는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 콜로이달 골드 반응 속도를 조절하기 위하여, 잔탄검과 하이드록시에칠셀룰로오스를 사용하여 100~500 nm의 입경분포를 가진 입자를 얻을 수 있었다. 최적의 합성조건은 18℃, 20~75 mmHg의 감압상태, 교반속도 10~50rpm, 1~4시간동안 반응하여 획득할 수 있었다. 합성된 콜로이달 골드의 외관은 진한 핑크색, pH=5.5, 비중은 1.0032, 점도는 80~310 cps로 특이한 고유 냄새를 가지고 있었다. 스킨케어 화장료의 응용으로, 안티에이징 엠플을 개발하였고, 이를 이용한 다양한 처방과 제형개발에 활용될 것으로 기대한다.

Numerous studies of the dynamic behavior of powders have been performed by Discrete Element Method (DEM). The behavior of powders can be analyzed using the DEM assuming that the powder is composed of spherical particles. Moreover, the assumption of spherical particle reduces the computing time significantly. However, the biggest problem with this assumption is the real shape of the particles. Some types of particles, such as calcium carbonate and colloidal copper, are needle shaped. Thus, analysis based on spherical particles can produce errors because of the incorrect assumption. In this research, we developed a new model to simulate needle-shaped particles using the DEM. In the model, a series of particles are connected and regarded as a rod. There is no relative motion among the particles. Thus, the behavior of the rod is rigid motion. To validate the developed model, we carried out the drop-and-bounce test with different initial angles. The results showed negligible error of less than 2%.

Size effects of rice product powders on physical properties including suspension stability were investigated in this study. Endosperm, bran, and husk powders of rice with different size particles were prepared using the pin crusher or the ultrafine air mill. The physical properties of the powders were examined using particle size analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and spectrophotometry. The peak of the volume-weighted particle distribution of ultrafine endosperm particles was at $5.4\;{\mu}m$ whereas those of the bran and the husk appeared at 65 and $35\;{\mu}m$, respectively. Ultrafine particles of the endosperm and the husks dispersed better than larger-sized particles. As time elapsed, the dispersibility decreased, but the ultrafine particles were precipitated at the slowest rate. Our results suggest that ultrafine particles, including future nanosized particles, provide improved solubility and dispersibility resulting in better stability in the food colloidal suspension.

Langasite 단결정 wafer의 chemical mechanical planarization 공정에서 pH level 및 slurry 입도가 가공속도 및 평탄화도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 낮은 pH level 조건하에서 더 높은 가공속도 값이 얻어진 반면에 평탄화도는 colloidal silica slurry의 평균입경에 의해 좌우됨을 확인하였다. 0.045 ㎛의 비정질 silica 입자를 함유한 슬러리를 사용하였을 때 표면에 잔류 scratch 형성이 없이 가장 좋은 가공성을 확보할 수 있었다. 가공속도와 평탄화도는 effective particle number에 대한 강한 의존성을 나타내었으며, effective particle number가 낮은 조건하에서 가공속도는 더 낮은 분포를 나타내었으나 평탄화도는 더 우수한 경향성을 확인하였다.

은 콜로이드 용액을 이용하여 은이 침적된 생체활성 세라믹 복합체를 제조하였다. 제조된 은 콜로이드 용액과 생체활성 세라믹 복합체의 물리적 특성은 각각 X-선 회절분석기, 라만분광기, 전자현미경으로 분석하였다. X-선 회절분석 자료에 의하면 은 나노입자의 표면에 염소이온이 화학적으로 결합한다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 또한 전자현미경 분석에서는 은이 침적된 생체활성 세라믹 복합체의 표면에 염화은이 균일하게 분포하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 따라서 생체활성 세라믹 복합체 표면의 염화은이 생체활성 세라믹 복합체의 하이드록시아파타이트 형성을 강하게 방지한다는 사실을 확인할 수 있었다.

Carbonates are inorganic ligands that are abundant in natural groundwater. They strongly influence radionuclide mobility by forming strong complexes, thereby increasing solubility and reducing soil absorption rates. We characterized the spectroscopic properties of Am(III)-carbonate species using UV-Vis absorption and time-resolved laser-induced fluorescence spectroscopy. The deconvoluted absorption spectra of aqueous Am(CO₃)₂^- and Am(CO₃)₃^3- species were identified at red-shifted positions with lower molar absorption coefficients compared to the absorption spectrum of aqua Am³⁺. The luminescence spectrum of Am(CO₃)₃^3- was red-shifted from 688 nm for Am³⁺ to 695 nm with enhanced intensity and an extended lifetime. Colloidal Am(III)-carbonate compounds exhibited absorption at approximately 506 nm but had non-luminescent properties. Slow formation of colloidal particles was monitored based on the absorption spectral changes over the sample aging time. The experimental results showed that the solubility of Am(III) in carbonate solutions was higher than the predicted values from the thermodynamic constants in OECD-NEA reviews. These results emphasize the importance of kinetic parameters as well as thermodynamic constants to predict radionuclide migration. The identified spectroscopic properties of Am(III)-carbonate species enable monitoring time-dependent species evolution in addition to determining the thermodynamics of Am(III) in carbonate systems.
