Both Cu and Cu-oxide nanopowders have great potential as conductive paste, solid lubricant, effective catalysts and super conducting materials because of their unique properties compared with those of commercial micro-sized ones. In this study, Cu and Cu-oxide nanopowders were prepared by Pulsed Wire Evaporation (PWE) method which has been very useful for producing nanometer-sized metal, alloy and ceramic powders. In this process, the metal wire is explosively converted into ultrafine particles under high electric pulse current (between $10^4$ and $10^{ 6}$ $A/mm^2$) within a micro second time. To prevent full oxidations of Cu powder, the surface of powder has been slightly passivated with thin CuO layer. X-ray diffraction analysis has shown that pure Cu nanopowders were obtained at $N_2$ atmosphere. As the oxygen partial pressure increased in $N_2$ atmosphere, the gradual phase transformation occurred from Cu to $Cu_2$O and finally CuO nanopowders. The spherical Cu nanopowders had a uniform size distribution of about 100nm in diameter. The Cu-oxide nanopowders were less than 70nm with sphere-like shape and their mean particle size was 54nm. Smaller size of Cu-oxide nanopowders compared with that of the Cu nanopowders results from the secondary explosion of Cu nanopowders at oxygen atmosphere. Thin passivated oxygen layer on the Cu surface has been proved by XPS and HRPD.

As an efficient controlled release system for rhBMP-2, a functional nanoparticle-hydrogel complex, incorporated with matrix metalloproteinase(MMP) sensitive peptide cross-linker, was developed and used as a bone transplant. In vivo bone formation was evaluated by soft x-ray, histology, alkaline phosphatase(ALP) activity and mineral contents analysis, based on the rat calvarial critical size defect(8mm in diameter) model. Significantly, effective bone regeneration was achieved with the rhBMP-2 loaded MMP sensitive hyaluronic acid(HA) based hydrogel-Nanoparticles(NP) complex, as compared to only MMP HA, the MMP HA-NP without rhBMP-2, or even with the rhBMP-2. These improvements included the formation pattern of bone and functional marrow, the degree of calcium quantification, and the ALP activity. These results indicate that the MMP sensitive HA with nano-particle complex can be a promising candidate for a new bone defect replacement matrix, and an enhanced rhBMP-2 scaffold.

Self-priming venturi scrubber is one of the most effective devices used to collect aerosols and soluble gas pollutants from gaseous stream during severe accident in a nuclear power plant. The present study focuses on investigation of dust particle removal efficiency of the venturi scrubber both experimentally and theoretically. Venturi scrubber captures the dust particles in tiny water droplets flowing into it. Inertial impaction is the main mechanism of particles collection in venturi scrubber. The water injected into venturi throat is in the form of jets through multiple holes present at venturi throat. In this study, aerosols removal efficiency of self-priming venturi scrubber was experimentally measured for different operating conditions. Alumina (Al₂O₃) particles with 0.4-㎛ diameter and 3950 kg/㎥ density were treated as aerosols. Removal efficiency was calculated for different gas flow rates i.e. 3-6 ㎥/h and liquid flow rates i.e. 0.009-0.025 ㎥/h. Experimental results depict that aerosols removal efficiency increases with the increase in throat velocity and liquid head. While at lower air flow rate of 3 ㎥/h, removal efficiency decreases with the increase in liquid head. A theoretical model of venturi scrubber was also employed and experimental results were compared with mathematical model. Experimental results are found to be in good agreement with theoretical results.

Conventional Thiamine Dilauryl Sulfate (TDS) powder has a low stability. In order to solve this problem, this study was performed to improve the solubility of TDS. The process for enhance solubility of TDS was nano grinding mill and ultrasonic dispersion process. TDS paticle was manufactured to nano size through nano grinding mill process. The size of TDS nanoparticle was measured as average 220 nm by DLS. And The TDS nanoparticle in water solution manufactured through ultrasonic dispersion process. The TDS nanoparticle in water solution was showed the highest solubility with 40% ethanol. These results was increased the concentration of TDS from 200 ppm to 240 ppm in water solution. The TDS nanoparticle in water solution showed diameter of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides growth with smaller than about 1.56 cm compared to the TDS paticle in water solution at same concentration. Also, TDS nanoparticle in water solution showed growth inhibition activity as 59.2% with higher than about 10% compared to the TDS paticle water solution in same concentration. Finally, TDS nanoparticle in water solution was increased solubility through nano grinding mill and ultrasonic dispersion process. Also, the increase of concentration in TDS nanopaticle in water solution according to solubility enhancement lead to an result enhancement of antifungal activity. Consequently, we suggested that the TDS nanoparticle in water solution was more effective than TDS particle in water solution owing to the sub-cellular particle size, ability to persistence and targeting to cell membrane of Colletotrichum gloeosporioides. Furthermore we expected the applicating possibility with bio pesticide.

수산가공 공정에서 어육을 채취한 후 폐기되는 참치뼈와 같은 생물체를 회화시킨 후 이들의 고유물성과 아파타이트계 바이오세라믹스의 합성 출발물질에 이용되는 기존의 화학시약과 여러가지 상을 가지는 바이오세라믹의 합성에 사용되는 화학시약을 대체하기 위한 고찰에서 얻은 결론은 다음과 같다. 1. 회화 후 추출한 물질의 X-ray 분석결과, 결정상은 회화온도에 관계없이 $1350^{\circ}C$까지는 $Ca_{10}\;(PO_4)_6\;(OH)_2$ 조성을 가지는 hydroxyapatite상으로 나타나, 화학시약으로 합성한 아파타이트와는 상이한 열분해 반응기구가 나타났다. 2. 회화한 참치뼈의 입자 크기분포는 온도의 증가에 따라 점진적으로 감소하는 거동을 보였고, 입자 크기분포는 $1050^{\circ}C$에서 최저치를 나타내 생물체의 회화온도는 $1050^{\circ}C$ 이하가 적정하였다. 3. 온도변화에 따른 입자의 변화양상을 SEM으로 추적한 결과, 온도에 따른 입자 형상의 변화는 나타나지 않았다. 그러나 회화온도가 높아 질 수록 입자간의 재응집과 소결의 진행과정에서 나타나는 입자간의 neck에 인해서 입자크기 분포 역시 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 4. 참치뼈로부터 추출된 아파타이트는 생체재료로서 이용가능한 것으로 나타났다. 또한 glass-ceramic 등과 같은 바이오 세라믹 조성식에서 생물체에서 추출한 아파타이트로 화학시약의 부분적인 치환 역시 가능하였다.

This study compared the collection efficiency of a two-stage electrostatic precipitator (ESP) with a lightweight PET film-coated carbon electrode collector plate, depending on the relative humidity of the exhaust gas and the applied voltage to the pre-charger. It was confirmed that the onset voltage at which corona discharge occurs decreases and the discharge current decreases at the same voltage as the relative humidity increases. On the other hand, even though there was almost no change in the diameter of the particles generated depending on the relative humidity, the efficiency was higher at the same voltage as the relative humidity increased. In addition, by applying a two-stage ESP structure, the collection efficiency was higher than that of a single-stage electrostatic precipitator under the same conditions. The ESP using the carbon electrode coated with PET film used in this study is expected to be effective in various aspects such as weight and in the current situation where environmental regulations are rapidly tightening.

This research work presents an experimental study's outcomes to reveal the impact of an O-ring on the flow control over a sphere placed in a turbulent boundary layer. The investigation is performed quantitatively and qualitatively using particle image velocimetry (PIV) and dye visualization. The sphere model having a diamater of 42.5 mm is located in a turbulent boundary layer flow over a smooth plate for gap ratios of 0≤G/D≤1.5 at Reynolds number of 5 × 10³. Flow characteristics, including patterns of instantaneous vorticity, streaklines, time-averaged streamlines, velocity vectors, velocity fluctuations, Reynolds stress correlations, and turbulence kinetic energy (), are compared and discussed for a naked sphere and spheres having O-rings. The boundary layer velocity gradient and proximity of the sphere to the flat plate profoundly influence the flow dynamics. At proximity ratios of G/D=0.1 and 0.25, a wall jet is formed between lower side of the sphere and flat plate, and velocity fluctuations increase in regions close to the wall. At G/D=0.25, the jet flow also induces local flow separations on the flat plate. At higher proximity ratios, the velocity gradient of the boundary layer causes asymmetries in the mean flow characteristics and turbulence values in the wake region. It is observed that the O-ring with various placement angles (𝜃) on the sphere has a considerable alteration in the flow structure and turbulence statistics on the wake. At lower placement angles, where the O-ring is closer to the forward stagnation point of the sphere, the flow control performance of the O-ring is limited; however, its impact on the flow separation becomes pronounced as it is moved away from the forward stagnation point. At G/D=1.50 for O-ring diameters of 4.7 (2 mm) and 7 (3 mm) percent of the sphere diameter, the -ring exhibits remarkable flow control at 𝜃=50° and 𝜃=55° before laminar flow separation occurrence on the sphere surface, respectively. This conclusion is yielded from narrowed wakes and reductions in turbulence statistics compared to the naked sphere model. The O-ring with a diameter of 3 mm and placement angle of 50° exhibits the most effective flow control. It decreases, in sequence, streamwise velocity fluctuations and length of wake recovery region by 45% and 40%, respectively, which can be evaluated as source of decrement in drag force.

선원과 검출기 사이의 거리, 검출기 지름, 방사선원의 부피 효과 등에 의해 검출기 입사면에서 입체각(solid angle)의 변화가 생기고 이는 검출기 내부에서의 경로 길이(path length) 차이를 유발하여 검출효율 결정에 영향을 미친다. 유효입체각 계산을 위한 일반적인 분석 방법은 단순한 기하학적 구조를 가진 선원 (60Co)에만 유용하여 본 실험에서는 검출기와 선원 간 거리 window cap 0.5 cm 기준점으로 하여 25 cm 까지 이동 시 켜면서 측정하였다. 또한 표준부피선원 450 ㎖, 1000 ㎖ 마리넬리 비이커는 검출기에 밀착 시켜 측정하였다. 검출기와 동축인 원형 점선원의 경우, 검출기 창으로부터의 거리에 대한 입체 각도의 변화를 측정치와 몬테카를로 시뮬레이션으로 계산 분석 관계의 결과 검출기의 반지름이 선원의 반지름보다 작을 경우, 입체 각도는 선원의 제곱 반지름 대 검출기의 제곱 반지름의 절반과 같다. 입체 각도의 차이는 0.53가 되므로 몬테카를로의 결과는 허용된다. 검출기-선원 간 거리의 역수와의 관계를 나타내었다. 입체각도는 거리에 따라 급격하게 감소함을 확인하였다. 부피선원에 대한 측정치와 시뮬레이션 결과는 거리 0 cm에서 1.01 %이며 거리가 5 cm, 10 cm로 멀어지면 4 % 미만의 차이를 보인다. 거리가 10 cm 일 때 처음으로 계산결과가 측정 결과보다 작아진다. 이는 거리가 멀어질수록 입체각이 작아지고, 에너지가 낮아질수록 감쇠효과가 지수 함수적으로 증가하는 원리가 효율의 계산에 반영되는 것을 확인할 수 있다. 따라서 검출효율은 고체 각도 및 몬테카를로 코드를 사용하기에 충분함을 입증하였다.

자력을 이용한 분리기술의 장점을 이용하여 여러 가지 불순물들이 섞여 있는 현탁 용액으로부터 자성입자를 이용하여 목적 단백질만을 얻어낼 수 있는 기술의 가능성에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다. 자성입자를 이용하는 경우에는 (1) 자성입자 표면에 리간드 고정화, (2) ligand(리간드)와 목적 물질과의 특이적 결합, (3) 자력을 이용한 자성입자의 분리, (4) 목적 물질의 탈착 그리고 (5) 자성입자의 재사용 순서로 진행되어 여러 단계의 공정을 단순화시킬 수 있다. 이러한 자성입자를 이용한 방법은 효율성, 단순성, 까다롭지 않은 조건, 자동화의 용이성, 비용의 저렴함으로 인해 관심이 증대되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 표면이 카르복실기로 처리된 자성입자에 IgG 항체를 고정화시킨 후 IgG를 목적 단백질로 하여 이를 분리해내고자 하였다. 이를 위하여 자성입자 표면에 다른 물질과의 비특이적 결합이 일어나지 않을 조건에 대하여 확인해 보았으며, IgG 항체를 배향성 고정화시켜 자성입자가 목적 단백질과 보다 효과적으로 결합하여 목적 단백질인 IgG만을 선택적으로 분리해 낼 수 있는지에 대하여 알아보았다. 높은 pH를 사용할 경우 비특이적 흡착을 줄일 수 있었으며, IgG 항체 고정화된 자성입자를 사용할 경우 목적 단백질인 IgG와 선택적으로 반응함을 알 수 있었다. IgG 항체의 고정화에서 Fc지역 C-terminus에 인접해 있는 탄수화물 부분을 이용하여 배향성을 준 경우, IgG 항체 내의 아민기와 고정화시키는 비배향성 고정화 방법보다 항원과의 결합능력이 약 2배 높았다.
