We have synthesized core-shell structured nanocrystals based on chalcopyrite-type $Cu_{0.2}InS_2$. The photoluminescence of the nanocrystals shows a significant blueshift in the emission wavelength by shell capping with ZnS layers. This shift can be explained with the compressive stress to core nanocrystals applied by the formation of a ZnS shell layer with a large lattice mismatch with the core. In this study, the emission wavelength could be tuned by changing the composition of the shell layers. Nanocrystals with emission wavelength ranging from 575 nm through 630 nm were synthesized by varying the portion of cadmium compared with zinc in the shell layers.

계면활성제가 흡착된 $CaCO_3$를 제조하여 흡착된 유화제의 농도, 개시제의 종류와 농도, 교반속도 및 반응온도에 따라 무기/유기계 core-shell 입자를 제조하였다. 제조된 복합입자의 전환율을 측정하여 중합의 최적조건과 분자량측정, 가수분해도, 필름형성온도, 유리전이온도, 입자경 측정 그리고 입자의 형태를 고찰하여 다음과 같은 결론을 얻었다. 무기/유기 core-shell 입자의 합성의 경우에는 유화제인 SDBS를 0.5 wt% 첨가한 $CaCO_3$를 core로 하여 MMA와 $3.16{\times}10^{-3}mol/L$ 농도의 APS를 단계적으로 주입하여 중합함으로서 $CaCO_3$ 입자 표면에서 MMA의 중합을 잘 유도할 수 있었으며 중합 도중 새로운 폴리머 입자의 생성이 적었다. 무기/유기계의 core-shell 입자의 경우는 염산에 의한 $CaCO_3$ 분해를 이용하여 캡슐화를 조사하고 시차주사열량계(DSC)에 의한 유리전이온도와 열분해 감소중량을 측정한 결과 외부의 유기 폴리머만 분해되는 특성, 에폭시 수지에서의 분산이 캡슐화 되지 않은 $CaCO_3$보다 우수한 특성, 입자경 분포도 측정 결과 입자경 분포도가 고르지 않고 그리고 전자 현미경에 의한 입자모양이 구형화된 특성등으로 core-shell 입자의 구조와 특성을 확인하였다.

A graft copolymer of poly(vinyl chloride)-g-poly(oxyethylene methacrylate) (PVC-g-POEM) was synthesized via atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and used as a structure-directing agent to prepare $Al@Fe_2O_3$ core-shell nanocomposites through a sol-gel process. The amphiphilic property of PVC-g-POEM allows for good dispersion of Al particles and leads to specific interaction with iron ethoxide, a precursor of $Fe_2O_3$. Secondary bonding interaction in the sol-gel composites was characterized by Fourier transform-infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The well-organized morphology of $Al@Fe_2O_3$ core-shell nanocomposites was observed using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) were used to analyze the elemental composition and crystallization structure of the composites.

Expensive silver powder is used to form electrodes in most IT equipment, and recently, many attempts have been made to lower manufacturing costs by developing powders with Ag-Ni or Ag-Cu core-shell structures. This study examined the sintering behavior of Ag-Ni electrode powder with a core-shell structure for silicon solar cell with high energy efficiency. The electrode powder was found to have a surface similar to pure Ag powder, and cross-sectional analysis revealed that Ag was uniformly coated on Ni powder. Each electrode was formed by sintering in the range of $500^{\circ}C$ to $800^{\circ}C$, and the specimen sintered at $600^{\circ}C$ had the lowest sheet resistance of $5.5m{\Omega}/{\Box}$, which is about two times greater than that of pure Ag. The microstructures of electrodes formed at varying sintering temperatures were examined to determine why sheet resistance showed a minimum value at $600^{\circ}C$. The electrode formed at $600^{\circ}C$ had the best Ag connectivity, and thus provided a better path for the flow of electrons.

알루미늄 (Al) 금속을 전구체 및 구조체로 이용, 수열 반응을 통하여 Al@Al₂O₃와 Al@Ni-Al LDH (LDH = layered double hydroxide) 코어-쉘 복합 구조체를 합성하였다. 제조된 구조체의 형상, 조성, 결정 구조는 수용액에 존재하는 이온들에 의하여 크게 영향을 받았으며, 이를 활용하여 다양한 특성의 촉매 구조체 유도가 가능하였다. Al@Ni-Al LDH 코어-쉘 구조체의 환원을 통하여 Ni 나노 입자가 고정화된 Ni/Al@Al₂O₃ 촉매를 제조하였고, CO₂ 메탄화 반응에 적용하여 촉매의 특성을 평가하였다. Ni/Al@Al₂O₃ 촉매는 전통적 incipient wetness impregnation 방법에 의하여 제조된 Ni/Al₂O₃ 촉매에 비교하여 Ni 입자의 분산도와 균일성이 매우 높았으며 약 2 배 이상의 CO₂ 전환율로 높은 촉매적 활성과 더불어 구조의 안정성을 보여 주었다. 이러한 Ni/Al@Al₂O₃ 구조체 촉매의 우수한 특성은 Al 금속을 기반으로 한 새로운 개념의 촉매 구조체 설계와 합성 방법의 타당성을 보여준다.

The aim of this work is a numerical comparison (FEM) between lattice pyramidal-core panel and honeycomb core panel for different core thicknesses. By evaluating the mid-span deflection, the shear rigidity and the shear modulus for both core types and different core thicknesses, it is possible to define which core type has got the best mechanical behaviour for each thickness and the evolution of that behaviour as far as the thickness increases. Since a specific base geometry has been used for the lattice pyramidal core, the comparison gives us the opportunity to investigate the unit cell strut angle giving the higher mechanical properties. The presented work considers a detailed FEM modelling of a standard 3-point bending test (ASTM C393/C393M Standard Practice). Detailed FEM modelling addresses to detailed discretization of cores by means of beam elements for lattice core and shell elements for honeycomb core. Facings, instead, have been modelled by using shell elements for both sandwich panels. On lattice core structure, elements of core and facings are directly connected, to better simulate the additive manufacturing process. Otherwise, an MPC-based constraint between facings and core has been used for honeycomb core structure. Both sandwich panels are entirely built of Aluminium alloy. Prior to compare the two models, the FEM sandwich panel model with lattice pyramidal core needs to be validated with 3-point bending test experimental results, in order to ensure a good reliability of the FEM approach and of the comparison. Furthermore, the analytical validation has been performed according to Allen's theory. The FEM analysis is linear static with an increasing midspan load ranging from 50N up to 500N.

In this study, we prepared core-shell type nanoparticles of a poly(DL-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) grafted-dextran (DexLG) copolymer with varying graft ratio of PLGA. The synthesis of the DexLG copolymer was confirmed by $^1H$ nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy. The DexLG copolymer was able to form nanoparticles in water by self-aggregating process, and their particle size was around $50\;nm{\sim}300\;nm$ according to the graft ratio of PLGA. Morphological observations using a transmission electron microscope (TEM) showed that the nanoparticles of the DexLG copolymer have uniformly spherical shapes. From fluorescence probe study using pyrene as a hydrophobic probe, critical association concentration (CAC) values determined from the fluorescence excitation spectra were increased as increase of DS of PLGA. $^1H-NMR$ spectroscopy using $D_2O$ and DMSO approved that DexLG nanoparticles have core-shell structure, i.e. hydrophobic block PLGA consisted inner-core as a drug-incorporating domain and dextran consisted as a hydrated outershell. Drug release rate from DexLG nano-particles became faster in the presence of dextranase in spite of the release rate not being significantly changed at high graft ratio of PLGA. Core-shell type nanoparticles of DexLG copolymer can be used as a colonic drug carrier. In conclusion, size, morphology, and molecular structure of DexLG nanoparticles are available to consider as an oral drug targeting nanoparticles.

We report nanostructure electrodes with $TiO_2$ as a core and carbon as a shell ($TiO_2$@C) for oxygen reduction in alkaline solution. The structure of core-shell electrodes is characterized by transmission electron microscopy, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction method, and X-ray photoelectron microscopy. The electrochemical properties of the $TiO_2$@C electrodes are characterized using a potentiostat and compared with those of carbon supported Pt catalyst. In particular, the core-shell electrode with dominant pyridinic-N component exhibits an imporved electrocatalytic activity for oxygen reduction reaction in alkaline solution.

Monodispersed microparticles with a poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) core and a poly(ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate) (PE2CA) shell were prepared by Shirasu porous glass (SPG) membrane emulsification to reduce the initial burst release of doxorubicin (DOX). Solution mixtures with different weight ratios of PLGA polymer and E2CA monomer were permeated under pressure through an SPG membrane with $1.9\;{\mu}m$ pore size into a continuous water phase with sodium lauryl sulfate as a surfactant. Core-shell structured microparticles were formed by the mechanism of anionic interfacial polymerization of E2CA and precipitation of both polymers. The average diameter of the resulting microparticles with various PLGA:E2CA ratios ranged from 1.42 to $2.73\;{\mu}m$. The morphology and core-shell structure of the microparticles were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The DOX release profiles revealed that the microparticles with an equivalent PLGA:E2CA weight ratio of 1:1 exhibited the optimal condition to reduce the initial burst of DOX. The initial release rate of DOX was dependent on the PLGA:E2CA ratio, and was minimized at a 1:1 ratio.
