The charged clusters or particles, which contain hundreds to thousands of atoms or even more, are suggested to from in the gas phase in the thin film processes such as CVD, thermal evaporation, laser ablation, and flame deposition. All of these processes are also phase synthesis of the nanoparticels. Ion-induced or photo-induced nucleation is the main mechanism for the formation of these nanoclusters or nanoparticles in the gas phase. Charge clusters can make a dense film because of its self-organizing characteristics while neutral ones make a porous skeletal structure because of its Brownian coagulation. The charged cluster model can successfully explain the unusual phenomenon of simultaneous deposition and etching taking place in diamond and silicon CVD processes. It also provides a new interpretation on the selective deposition on a conducting material in the CVD process. The epitaxial sticking of the charged clusters on the growing surface is getting difficult as the cluster size increases, resulting in the nanostructure such as cauliflower or granular structures.

Poly(o-hydroxyamides)(PHAs) copolymers having oligo(oxy ethylene) pendant in the main chain were synthesized by solution polycondensation reaction at low temperature. Copolymer precursors were studied by fourier transform infrared(FT-IR), differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), thermogravimetric analyzer(TGA), universal testing machine(UTM) and limited oxygen index(LOI). The inherent viscosities of the PHAs measured at $35^{\circ}C$ in DMAc or DMAc/LiCl solution were in the range of 0.74~1.42 dL/g. Solubility of the precursors with higher oligo(oxy ethylene) unit was increased, but the PBOs were nearly insoluble in a variety of solvents. The degradation temperature of the copolymer precursors was recorded in the ranges of $408{\sim}664^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen and char yields showed 13~59% values at $900^{\circ}C$. The mechanical properties and flame retardancy of copolymer precursors decreased with higher oligo(oxy ethylene) unit.

Polymer-clay nanocomposites, a novel organic-inorganic hybrid, attract much attention from both scientific fields and engineering fields due to their balanced improvements in mechanical properties as well as diffusion behaviors, including flame-retarding and barrier properties, with small amounts of clay. Preparation of polymer-clay nanocomposites, summarized as a process for uniform dispersion of hydrophilic layered clays in hydrophobic polymer matrixes, includes several technologies and scientific phenomena, such as surface-modifications of clay layers, physical properties of clays in liquids and dried states, polymer synthesis, polymer rheology, behaviors of polymer solutions/or monomers in the confined geometry, mechanical properties of polymers and clays. To comprehend complicated physical/chemical phenomena involved in the fabrication of nanocomposites, we reviewed physical properties of clays, structures of clays in nanocomposites, characterization of nanocomposites, the relation between morphology and physical property of nanocomposites, surveyed recent research trends, and then suggested a few strategies or methods for fabrication of nanocomposites reflecting future research directions.

DC plasma torch which is a non-transferred type was constructed and silicon nitride powders were produced. Ar gas is used as a plasma gas and gas reactants with the carrier gas are introduced beneath the plasma ignition part. Two slits are attached and a reactive quenching gas is introduced through them. Using $SiCl_4 and NH_3$ as starting materials, silicon nitride powders were produced. As-produced powders were amorphous and crystalline silicon nitrides were obtained by heating at $1420^{\circ}C$ for two hours under nitrogen atmosphere. Silicon nitride phase was identified in the XRD patterns and IR spectrum, and the image of the powders before and after heating was observed from the TEM analysis.

The optimum synthetic conditions of poly(p-phenylphenol) by horseradish peroxidase in dioxane:water (80:20 v/v) mixtures were studied. The stability against thermal degradation and structural properties of the synthesized phenolic resins were investigated by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), respectively. The synthetic yield of poly(p-phenylphenol) increased upon the increase of the amount of enzyme up to 0.25 mg HRP/mL, then leveled off for further increase of the enzyme usage. When sodium acetate (100 mM, pH 4~6) and sodium phosphate (100 mM, pH 7~9) were used as the buffering salts for the aqueous component (20% v/v), the synthetic yield of the resin increased at higher pH of the aqueous buffer. But when the pHs of the aqueous buffer were 6 and 9, the synthetic yield strongly depended on the types of the buffering salts; if sodium phosphate was used instead of sodium acetate at pH 6, the yield decreased by about 15% and if sodium bicarbonate was used instead of sodium phosphate, the yield decreased by almost 20%. When the pH range of the aqueous buffer was from 4 to 7, the addition of a radical mediator, 2,2'-azinobis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonate) (ABTS), up to 2 mM improved the synthetic yield of the resin by about 10%. TGA experiments revealed that the thermal stability of the resin synthesized in dioxane:water (100 mM sodium phosphate, pH 9) (80:20 v/v) was high having the char yield of 47% upon the heating at $800^{\circ}C$. DCS results showed that the structures of the polymers synthesized in acidic aqueous buffers were different from those of the polymers synthesized in the basic aqueous buffers. However, all the synthesized resins were found to have the property of the thermosetting resins.

The consumption of foods containing trans fatty acids (TFAs) is a matter of concern at present. According to many studies, trans fatty acids (TFAs) may cause illnesses such as the coronary heart disease, diabetes mellitus, large intestine cancer, and breast cancer. They can also raise low density lipoprotein (LDL) cholesterol and reduce high density lipoprotein (HDL) cholesterol. TFAs can also inhibit the synthesis of phospholipids containing polyunsaturated fatty acids in arterial cells. As a consequence the Food and Drug Administration has deemed that saturated fatty acid, cholesterol and trans fatty acid levels be listed on food labels as of 2006. The Korea Food and Drug Administration also has required the listing of trans fatty acid content on food labels since 2007. The aim of this study was to determine the total lipid and trans fatty acid (TFA) contents in retort food, powdered milk, biscuit and pizza products. The number of samples examined were 2 retort food, 6 powdered milk, 7 biscuit and 3 pizza products. The extraction of total lipids in retort food and powdered milk followed the chloroform methanol method. The extraction of total lipids in biscuit and pizza was by the acid digestion method. All samples were analyzed by gas chromatography (GC) using a SP-2560 capillary column and a flame ionization detector. The TFA contents per 100g of sample were 1-2.8% (1.9%) in retort foods, 0.4-2.4% (1.37%) in powdered milk products, 0-2.9% (1.23%) in biscuits, and 2.8-3.45% (3.03%) in pizzas.

For this research, prepared ammonium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution and polyurethane dispersion. Use these resin, this article has been analyzed about change of mechanical properties by increasing amount of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution in polyurethan resin on coated leather and dried film. According to measure data for solvent resistance, DPU(polyurethane dispersion) resin and DPU-AD1, D2, D3(samples of polyurethaneresin with ammonium dihydrogen phosphate aqueous solution) had good property. As known in the results, increase of ammonium dihydrogen phosphate constant did not influence to big change of polyurethane resin properties. As test of tensile strength, DPU had highest tensile characteristic($3.114kg_f/mm^2$) and DPU-AD3 had lowest tensile characteristic($2.510kg_f/mm^2$). As same as tensile characteristic, abrasion test determined DPU(50.5 mg.loss) had highest properties. In elongation case, DPU had best properties(602 %) in this experiment.
