  • This research aims to compare immobilized catalysts prepared by various methods and determine suitable $TiO_2$ catalyst for water purification. Sol-gel method by Anderson and powder coation method by Tanaka ate famous in the methods to immobilize catalyst. Therefore, the $TiO_2$ catalyst for this research was prepared by sol-gel method and powder coating method. Its structure was tested by X-ray diffractometer (XRD), Scanning electron microseope (SEM). Durability of a catalyst-support couple in an solution was investigated. too. Experimental results were summarized as following; i) Optimum ratio of Ti : $H_2O$ : $H^+$ to obtain stable sol was 1 : 10 : 0.1 and the XRD patterns of $TiO_2$ film immobilized by sol-gel method which were fired at $700^{\circ}C$ showed that the catalyst had an anatase structure. ii) The particle size of $TiO_2$ prepared by sol-gel method was less than $5{\mu}$, but it was observed that coated side was not unifiom. iii) Sol-gel method was very effective to obtain $TiO_2$ catalyst of thin film, but spreadability and durability of a catalyst-support couple in a solution were than $TiO_2$ film immobilized by powder coating method. iv) The particle size of $TiO_2$ immobilized by powder coating method was a little larger than it prepared by sol-gel method, but spreadability and uniformity of $TiO_2$ film and durability of a catalyst-support couple in a solution were better than it immobilized by sol-gel method.

  • To improve the textural properties and stabilize the structure and gel matrix of non-waxy rice starch gels, non-waxy rice starch/gum mixture gels were prepared from various food gums, gum arabic, guar, algin, deacyl gellan, xanthan and gellan gums. The morphological and textural properties and freeze-thaw stability of their gels were compared. Rice starch/gum mixture gels with various gums formed a more homogeneous gel matrix with smaller particle size than rice starch gel without Em, but the trends differed depending on the gum types. The textural properties of rice starch/gum mixture gels were changed with the gum types. The shape of the rice starch/gum mixture gel matrix was desirable when mixed with gellan and algin. The textural properties of gels hardened in the rice starch/algin mixture gel and softened in the rice starch/algin mixture gel. The rice starch gels showed V-type crystallinity by x-ray diffractometer, but the peak at $2\theta$ = $20^{o}$ was decreased with increasing gum addition. The freeze-thaw stability increased with increasing gum addition. Gellan and algin were especially effective.

  • Effects of addition level of sodium chloride (NaCl) on gel properties of surimi-like pork (SLP) were investigated. Porcine semimembranosus muscle was used to manufacture SIP contained 1, 2, 3 and 4% NaCl to measure moisture content, pH, color, gel strength, micro-structure and sensory evaluation. The pH and moisture content of SLP were decreased as increasing of NaCl level. However, the gel strength of SLP was increased with increasing of NaCl level. Values of yellowness and chroma were lower in SLP of 2% and 3% NaCl compared with those of 1% and 4% NaCl. Amorphus protein particles size in micro-structure of SLP was decreased and coagulated as increasing level of NaCl. SLP of 1% NaCl had a structure formed by aggregates of densely packed globular proteins and arranged in clusters, whereas a well-structured matrix with a highly interconnected network of strand was observed in SLP of 4% NaCl. Result suggested that the increasing gel strength with NaCl level might be due to lower moisture content and denser micro-structure of gel.

  • In this work, Ta-substituted $Li_7La_3Zr_{2-x}O_{12}$ (LLZTO) powder and pellets with garnet cubic structure were fabricated and characterized by modified and optimized sol-gel synthesis. Ta-substituted LLZO powder with the smallest grain size and pure cubic structure with little pyrochlore phase was obtained by synthesis method in which Li and La sources in propanol solvent were mixed together with Zr and Ta sources in 2-methoxy ethanol. The LLZTO pellets made with the prepared powder showed cubic garnet structure for all conditions when the amount of Li addition was varied from 6.2 to 7.4 mol. All the X-ray peaks of the pyrochlore phase disappeared when the Li addition was increased above 7.0 mol. When the final sintering temperature was varied, the LLZTO pellet had a pyrochlore-mixed cubic phase above $1000^{\circ}C$. However, the surface morphology became much denser when the final sintering temperature was increased. The sol-gel-driven LLZTO pellet with a sintering temperature of $1100^{\circ}C$ showed a lithium ionic conductivity of 0.21 mS/cm when Au was adopted as electrode material for the blocking capacitor. The results of this study suggest that modified sol-gel synthesis is the optimum method to obtain cubic phase of LLZTO powder for highly dense and conductive solid electrolyte ceramics.

  • Effects of staining, buffer washing and denaturing agents on the transferrability of RNA fractionated on a methylmercury hydroxide-agarose gel to a nitrocellulose membrane were studied. Ethidium bromide staining and ammonium acetate buffer washing inhibited RNA transfer, while 3% HCHO and 0.5 M NaOH treatments stimulated transfer which was negated in the ammonium acetate buffer. Accordingly, maintenance of primary structure of RNA was proved to be essential for transferring RNA from the methylmercury hydroxideagarose gel to the nitrocellulose membrane.

  • $TiO_2-SnO_2$ thin films are fabricated using sol-gel method. In case the amount of water required hydrolysis smaller than that for stoichiometry, Ti sol forms clear sol which has normal chain structure. On the contrary, in case the amount of water required hydrolysis larger than that for stoichiometry, Ti sol forms suspended sol which has cluster structure. The thickness of thin films increase about $0.03{\sim}0.04{\mu}m$ every a dipping. The permittivity and dissipation factor of $TiO_2-SnO_2$ thin films decrease with increasing frequency. Thin films show semiconductive characteristics above $400^{\cric}C$.

  • In order to investigate the dependence of a content in lead lanthanum titanate (PLT) films and heat treatment, sol-gel process has been used. Four types of PLT thin films with the chemical formula, Pb$\_$1-x/ La$\_$x/Ti$\_$1-x/4/O$_3$(X=18, 21, 24 and 28 mole %) have been fabricated on Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si multi-layers and ITO/glass substrates, The post-annealing temperature in the range of 400~700 $\^{C}$ is applied for the formation of perovskite structure in PLT films. The structureal, electrical and optical properties of PLT film with the addition of La content are estimated. The films orientation and surface structure of films are studied by XRD (X-ray diffraction) and SEM(scanning electron microscopy). The P-E hysteresis loop become narrower with increasing La content. The average transmittance of the films is about 80%.

  • [$TiO_2$] sol and $SiO_2$ sol were prepared using sol-gel method. As $H_{2}O$/Alkoxide ratios increased, sol had cluster structure and as $H_{2}O$/Alkoxide ratios decreased, sol had linear structure. Gelation time of $TiO_2$ sol was faster than that of $SiO_2$ sol according to the time. In comparison with initial viscosity between $TiO_2$ sol and $SiO_2$ sol, $TiO_2$ sol was highest at $H_{2}O/Ti(OC_{3}H_{7})_{4}=5$, $SiO_2$ sol was almost constant according to $H_{2}O/Si(OC_{2}H_{5})_{4}$ ratios.

  • Synthesis of zinc oxide nanorods, sheets and flower like structure were done by the sol-gel method using zinc acetate dihydrate and sodium hydroxide at $80^{\circ}C$ with 12 hours refluxing time nanorods, in case of as synthesized powder, with diameter of 20-60nm. Annealing at higher temperature (300 and $500^{\circ}C$,) in air ambient changes the morphology to sheet and flower like structure. The standard peak of zinc oxide was observed in IR at $523cm^{-1}$. The UV-VIS spectroscopy of zinc oxide shows a characteristic peak at 375nm.
