토양 중에서 농약을 대공극과 숨골을 통하여 지하수로 이동시킬 수 있는 매체로 작용하는 물분산성 콜로이드 함량과 그 안정성은 여러 가지 토양의 이화학적 특성에 의해 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 제주도 감귤원에서 채취한 30개 토양을 사용하여 pH, 유기물, oxalate 용액 추출성 Al과 Fe 등이 물분산성 콜로이드의 함량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 토양의 pH가 증가할수록 물분산성 콜로이드의 함량이 높았으며, pH 5$\sim$6 이상의 토양에서는 표면 음전하의 증가에 따라 콜로이드의 안정성이 높아질 가능성이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 낮은 pH 조건에서는 표면 음전하의 감소와 함께 활성 Al 또는 Fe 함량이 증가함에 따라 콜로이드의 응집 현상이 촉진되는 것으로 나타났다. 물분산성 콜로이드의 함량은 콜로이드의 입단화를 촉진시킬 수 있는 토양의 유기물 함량과 반비례하였으며, 유기탄소 함량 5% 이하의 토양에서 특히 물분산성 콜로이드의 함량이 많게 나타날 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. Oxalate 용액 추출성 Al과 Fe 함량 또한 분산성 콜로이드의 함량과 반비례하였으며, Al과 Fe의 산화물 또는 수산화물들 그리고 치의 유기물 복합체는 토양 중에서 콜로이드 형태로 존재할 수도 있으나 점토광물의 입단화를 촉진시키는 결합제로 작용함으로써 물분산성 콜로이드의 분산을 억제하는 것으로 판단되었다.

We found dramatic changes of the properties of LCs by dispersing ferroelectric nanoparticles. Specifically, ferroparticles greatly increase the nematic-isotropic transition temperature, birefringence and dielectric anisotropy of the LC. Ferroelectric nanoparticles/LCs colloids offer a simple and effective means to precisely control the physical properties of LC materials and optimize them for display applications.

The electrophoretic deposition(EPD) of ZnO nano-sized colloids is investigated by changing the colloid number concentration, applied force, and deposition time. The change of the colloid size in a suspension was examined by the different colloid number concentrations (N = $3.98{\times}10^{15}$, N = $3.98{\times}10^{14}$, and N = $3.98{\times}10^{13}$) with an increase of the deposition time and applied forces. Deposition behavior was investigated by changing the applied fields (from DC 5 V to 50 V) and the deposition time (5 min to 25 min). The surface microstructures of the as-deposited films were investigated by SEM. The dried films were sintered from $850^{\circ}C$ to $1,050^{\circ}C$ for 2 h and then the microstructures were also explored by SEM. The agglomeration rate was enhanced by increasing the colloid number concentration of colloids. Colloid number concentration in a suspension must be rapidly decreased at higher values of the electric field. ZnO nano-sized colloids had the highest zeta potential value of over -28 mV in methanol. A homogeneous microstructure was obtained at colloid number concentration of N = $3.98{\times}10^{13}$, applied DC field of 5 V/cm and 15 min of deposition time at an electrode distance of 1.5 cm. Under these conditions, the deposited films were sintered at $850^{\circ}C$ and $1,050^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The results show a typical pore-free surface morphology of a uniform thickness of 400 nm under these experimental conditions.

Various types of inorganic and organic colloids are present in natural water including groundwater. Previous studies showed that Fe, Mn and Al are colloid-forming elements and dissolved concentrations can be erroneous for these elements if water samples are not properly filtered. Dissolved concentrations of elements including Ca, Na, Mg, K, Fe, Mn, Si and Al in groundwater from alluvial and bedrock aquifers, and surface water near Nakdong River were determined to evaluate effects of colloids on dissolved concentrations in natural water samples using various pore sizes of filters. Groundwater is mostly anoxic and have elevated concentrations of Fe and Mn, which provides a unique opportunity to observe the effects of colloids on dissolved concentrations of colloid-forming elements. Membrane filters with four kinds of pore sizes of 1000 nm, 450 nm, 100 nm, and 15 nm were used for filtration of water samples. Concentrations of dissolved concentrations in each filtrate did not show significant differences from 1000 nm to 100 nm. However, concentrations of all elements considered were decreased in the filtrates obtained using 15 nm pore size filters by 10 to 15% compared to those using 450 nm except for bedrock groundwater. Al in surface water showed a distinct linear decrease with the decrease of filter pore sizes. These results showed that 100 nm pore size had little effect to remove colloidal particles in alluvial groundwater and surface water in our study. In contrast, significant concentration decreases in 15 nm pore size filtrates indicate that the presence of 15 to 100 nm colloidal particles may affect determination of dissolved concentrations of elements in natural water.

We examine rigorous computations on microstructural as well as rheological properties of concentrated dispersions of bidisperse colloids. The NVT Monte Carlo simulation is applied to obtain the radial distribution function for the concentrated system. The long-range electrostatic interactions between dissimilar spherical colloids are determined using the singularity method, which provides explicit solutions to the linearized electrostatic field. The increasing trend of osmotic pressure with increasing total particle concentration is reduced as the concentration ratio between large and small particles is increased. From the estimation of total structure factor, we observe the strong correlations developed between dissimilar spheres. As the particle concentration increases at a given ionic strength, the magnitude of the first peak in structure factors increases and also moves to higher wave number values. The increase of electrostatic interaction between same charged particles caused by the Debye screening effect provides an increase in both the osmotic pressure and the shear modulus. The higher volume fraction ratio providing larger interparticle spacing yields decreasing high frequency limit of the shear modulus, due to decreasing the particle interaction energy.

Background: In this study eugenol (EU) loaded nanoemulsions (NEs) emulsified with modified starch were prepared and their apoptotic potential against liver and colon cancer cells was examined in comparison with bulk EU. Materials and Methods: We prepared stable EU loaded NEs whcih were characterized by dynamic light scattering, centrifugation and gas chromatography. Furthermore, cell viability was determined using MTT assay, and apoptosis and cell cycle analysess by flow cytometry. Results: HB8065 (liver) and HTB37 (colon) cells when treated with EU:CA NEs demonstrated greater apoptotic cells percentages as evidenced by microscopic images and flow cytometric evaluations. It was observed that EU and EU:CA NE induced apoptosis in both cell lines via reactive oxygen species (ROS) generation. Conclusions: The present study demonstrated that ROS plays a critical role in EU and EU:CA NE induced apoptosis in HB8065 and HTB37 cells. This is the first report on the antiproliferative mechanisms of EU loaded NE.

본 연구에서는 현재 국내에서 잠재적인 완충재 물질로 고려되고 있는 경주산 칼슘벤토나이트에서 발생되는 벤토나이트 콜로이드를 대상으로 대표적인 악티나이드 핵종이며 고준위 핵종인 우라늄(VI)에 대한 수착특성에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험에 사용될 벤토나이트 콜로이드의 농도 및 크기를 여과법을 사용하여 측정한 결과 벤토나이트 콜로이드 원액의 농도는 약 5100ppm 이고 $98\%$ 이상의 콜로이드들이 200-450nm 크기 사이에 존재하는 것으로 나타났다. 우라늄 수착실험에 대한 공시험을 수행하여 수착반응 용기 벽면에 의해, 침전에 의해, 한외여과 또는 콜로이드 형성에 의해 손실된 우라늄 양을 평가하였다. 한외여과에 의한 우라늄 손실의 경우 이온강도가 낮은 경우에(즉, 0.001M $NaClO_4$의 경우) 한외여과 필터의 표면전하 역전에 의한 양이온 수착 영향으로 매우 높은 핵종 손실을 유발하였다. 벤토나이트 콜로이드에 대한 우라늄(VI)의 수착 분배계수(의사콜로이드 형성상수)는 pH에 따라 $10^4^{\sim}10^6$ mL/g 정도의 값을 가지는 것으로 관측되었으며 중성 영역인 pH 6.5 근처에서 최대값을 가지는 것으로 나타났다.

Radiation synovectomy is one of the most useful methods for treating patients with refractory synovitis because of its convenience, long-term effects, repeatability and the avoidance of surgery. In this study, we investigated the toxicity, stability and biodistribution of a rhenium-188 ($^{188}$Re)-tin colloid to evaluate its suitability as a synovectomy agent. Twenty four hours after injecting the $^{188}$Re-tin colloids (74 KBq/0.1 mL) into the tail vein of ICR mice, most of the $^{188}$Retin colloidal particles was found in the lungs. In addition, there were no particle size changes at either room temperature or at $37^{\circ}C$ after injecting the $^{188}$Re-tin colloids in human plasma and synovial fluid. In vitro stability tests showed that the $^{188}$Re-tin colloid remained in a colloidal form without a critical size variation over a 2-day period. We investigated the leakage of $^{188}$Retin colloids from the intraarticular injection site with gamma counting in New Zealand white rabbits. The $^{188}$Re-tin colloids (55.5 MBq/0.15 mL) were injected at the cavum articular and the mean retention percentage of the $^{188}$Re-tin colloid was 98.7% for 1 day at the injection site, which suggests that there was neither change in the particle size nor leakage at the injection sites. In the biodistribution study with the SD rats, the liver showed the highest radioactivity (0.0427% ID/organ) except for the injected knees (99.49%). In the SD rats, mild toxicities including the skin or a synovium inflammation were observed as a result of a radioactivity of 15 mCi/kg at the intraarticular injection site. However, there was no systemic toxicity. In the Ovalbumin (OVA)-induced arthritic rabbits, the $^{188}$Re-tin colloid improved the macroscopic, the histological score and reduced the knee joint diameter when compared to the arthritic control. In conclusion, a $^{188}$Re-tin-colloid is considered as a strong candidate for radiation synovectomy with a superior efficacy and safety.

Volcanic Ash Soils are widely distributed in Jeju island, and constitute the important upland soils which are either presently being cultivated or are suitable for reclaiming. The characteristics of Volcanic Ash Soils according to data made available by previous studies in Jeju and the outside of the country are as following: The most conspicuous mineralogical property is the presence of amorphous mineral colloids. The colloids have large and highly reactive surface to which the common physical and chemical properties are related. Soils are low in bulk density and higher both in porosity and permeability. Accumulation of humus in the upper part of soil is found in great quantity. Cation exchange capacity is high mainly due to high humus content, but the absorbing intensity of ammonium and potassium is weaker than that of crystalline clays. The phosphate absorption coefficient is extremely high and deficiency of minor element may occur both crops and animals. Soils are densely populated with actinomycetes and anaerobic bacteria. Nitrification and activity of urease are distinctly stronger than that of non-Volcanic Ash Soils.
