This study aims to investigate the usage of nano-scale particles in a micro metal injection molding ($\mu$-MIM) process. Nanoscale particle is effective to improve transcription and surface roughness in small structure. Moreover, the effects of hybrid micro/nano particles, Cu/Cu and SUS/Cu were investigated. Small dumbbell specimens were produced using various feedstocks prepared by changing binder content and fraction of nano-scale Cu particle (0.3 and $0.13{\mu}m$ in particle size). The effects of adding the fraction of nano-scale Cu powder on the melt viscosity of the feedstock, microstructure, density and tensile strength of sintered parts were discussed.

Cu nano-colloid was prepared by wire electric explosion process under de-mineralized water and anhydrous ethanol. To control the properties of Cu nano-colloid, experimental conditions such as diameter of Cu wire and applied voltage were changed. The optimal Cu nano-colloid was prepared when the 0.1mm diameter of Cu wire with the applied voltage of 2000 V was used. The shape of Cu particles in colloid was spherical and the XRD result revealed that the phase of Cu particles was cubic phase. About 20nm Cu nanoparticles with high crystallinity were successfully prepared using wire explosion process under anhydrous ethanol and they showed more than 100 hours dispersion stability.

In this study, $CuInS_2$ powders have been synthesized using polyol process of a mixture of copper nitrate, indium nitrate, and thiourea with various stoichiometric molar ratios in ethylene glycol at 196$^{\circ}C$. As boiling time goes by, the color of metal ion mixed solutions were changed transparent green to dark green and finally fumed to black by reduction of $OH^-$ radicals. The prepared powders were fully characterized by SEM, XRD and UV-Vis. The particle shape of black colored powders showed sphere with about 30 nm in particle size compared to those with dark green colored powders showed irregular shape with about 1 ${\mu}m$ in particle size. The XRD results showed highly crystallized $CuInS_2$. The UV-Vis spectra showed broad shoulder at 430 and 780 nm corresponding to 2.78 and 1.58 eV for the dark green colored one and black colored one, respectively.

Monodispersed and nano-sized Cu powders were synthesized from copper sulfate pentahydrate $(CuSO_4{\cdot}5H_2O)$ inside a nonionic polymer matrix by using wet chemical reduction process. The sucrose was used as a nonionic polymer network source. The influences of a nonionic polymer matrix on the particle size of the prepared Cu powders were characterized by means of X-ray diffraction), scanning electron microscopy), and particle size analysis). The smallen Cu powders with size of approximately 100 nm was obtained with adding of 0.04M sucrose at reaction temperature of $60\;^{\circ}C$. The particle size of the Cu powders prepared by the reduction inside polymer network was strongly dependent of the sucrose content and reaction temperature.

Cu/carbon nano-particle hybrids were fabricated through the cathodic electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process. CNT and CNF nano-particles were modified to give positive charges by polyethyleneimine (PEI) treatment before depositing them on the substrate. Since a Cu plate was used as an anode in the EPD process, Cu particles were also deposited along with the carbon nano-particles. Experimental observation showed the nano-hybrids constructed a novel formicary-like nano-structure which is strong and highly conductive. Utilizing the hybrids, carbon fiber composites were manufactured, and their electrical conductivity and interlaminar shear strength were measured. In addition, the deposition morphology and failure surface were examined by SEM observations. Results demonstrated that the electrical conductivities in the through-the-thickness direction and the interlaminar shear strength significantly increased by 350~2100% and 14%, respectively.

본 연구에서는 용액합성법(solution synthesis technique)에 의해 ZnS : Cu nano 입자를 합성하였고, 결정구조 및 입자형상 등의 구조적 특성과, 광흡수/투과 특성, 에너지밴드갭, 그리고 photoluminescence(PL) 여기 및 발광 특성 등의 광학적 특성을 분석하였다. 일반적인 용액상태의 화학적 합성 방법과는 달리 합성온도를 $80^{\circ}C$로하였으며, sulfur의 precursor로 thiourea를 채택하여 Cu 도핑의 용이성을 구현하였다. 합성된 undoped ZnS 와 ZnS : Cu nano 입자는 모두 cubic 구조를 가졌으며 구형입자로 합성되었고, 광흡수단의 위치도 모두 ~305 nm에 나타나서 양자사이즈효과가 발생하였음을 알 수 있었다. PL 발광강도와 반가폭은 Cu 도핑농도가 0.03M 일 때 각각 최고치와 최저치를 나타냈는데, 이와 같이 용액합성법에 의해 합성된 ZnS : Cu 에서 Cu 의 농도변화에 따른 PL 스펙트럼의 강도와 반가폭의 변화는 본 연구에서 최초로 보고되는 것이다. 광흡수단 측정 및 PL 여기 실험결과, 본 연구의 주된 발광피크인 ~510 nm 발광밴드는 Cu에 의해 에너지밴드갭 내에 형성된 발광재결합센터를 통한 것임을 알 수 있었다.

Ag spot-coated Cu nanopowders were synthesized by a hydrothermal-attachment method (HA) using oleic acid capped Ag hydrosol. Cu nano powders were synthesized by pulsed wire exploding method using 0.4 mm in diameter of Cu wire (purity 99.9%). Synthesized Cu nano powders are seen with comparatively spherical shape having range in 50 nm to 150 nm in diameter. The oleic acid capped Ag hydrosol was synthesized by the precipitation-redispersion method. Oleic acid capped Ag nano particles showed the narrow size distribution and their particle size were less than 20 nm in diameter. In the case of nano Ag-spot coated Cu powders, nanosized Ag particles were adhered in the copper surface by HAA method. The components of C, O and Ag were distributed on the surface of copper powder.

Al-Cu alloy nano powders were produced by the electrical explosion of Cu-plated Al wires. The composition and phase of the alloy could be controlled by varying the thickness of Cu deposit on Al wire. When the Cu layer was thin, Al solid solution and $CuAl_2$ were the major phases. As the Cu layer becomes thicker, Al diminished while $Al_4Cu_9$ phase prevailed instead. The average particle size of Al-Cu nano powders became slightly smaller from 63 nm to 44 nm as Cu layer becomes thicker. The oxygen content of Al-Cu powder decreased linearly with Cu content. It is well demonstrated that the electrodeposition combined with wire explosion could be simple and economical means to prepare variety of alloy and intermetallic nano powders.

The Cu oxide nano powders were synthesized by levitational gas condensation (LGC) method and their high heterogeneous catalytic effects of oxidation of 2,3,5-trimethyl-1,4-hydroquinone (TMHQ) and catalase activity were studied. The nano powders consist of mainly $Cu_2O$. The catalytic effect which was clarified by the oxidation of TMHQ and the activity of catalase, was found to depend on the amount of $Cu_2O$ phase and the particle size.

Ag-Cu alloy nano powders were fabricated by the electrical explosion of Cu-plated Ag wires. Ag wires of 0.2mm diameter was electroplated to final diameter of 0.220 mm and 0.307 mm which correspond to Ag-27Cu and Ag-68Cu alloy. The explosion product consisted of equilibrium phases of ${\alpha}-Ag$ and ${\beta}$-Cu. The particle size of Ag-Cu nano powders were 44 nm and 70 nm for 0.220 mm and 0.307 mm wires, respectively. The Ag-Cu nano powders contained less Cu than average value due to higher sublimation energy compared to that of Ag. As a result, micron-sized spherical particles formed from liquid droplets contained higher Cu content.
