The relation between the flocculation and dispersion of metal oxide powders and the properties of solvents, such as dielectric constant and solubility parameter, was investigated for TiO$_2$, $Al_2$O$_3$and Fe$_2$O$_3$particles. The particle size and median diameter of these metal oxides were measured in many organic solvents, from which the effect of solvents on the flocculation and dispersion of metal oxide powders was considered. The metal oxide powders of TiO$_2$, $Al_2$O$_3$and Fe$_2$O$_3$tend to disperse in a solvent of higher polarity, whereas they are apt to flocculate in a solvent of low dielectric constant, because the Hamaker constant between the particles becomes larger in such a solvent. There we, however, some solvents that do not obey these tendencies. It is possible to evaluate the flocculation and dispersion of these metal oxide powders in many solvents by using numeral balances of Hansen’s three-dimensional solubility parameter (f$_{d}$, f$_{p}$ and f$_{h}$). There exists a solvent giving the optimal dispersion for each metal oxide, and the optimal dispersion point of f$_{d}$, f$_{p}$ and f$_{h}$ is determined by the combination of various metal oxide powders and solvents.nts.nts.nts.

MgO/metal nanocomposite powder mixtures were prepared by solution chemical processes to obtain suitable structure for ceramic/metal nanocomposites. Nickel or cobalt nitrate, as a source of metal dispersion, was dissolved into alcohol and mixed with magnesia powder. After calcined in air, these powders were reduced by hydrogen. Densified nanocomposites were successively obtained by Pulse Electric Current Sintering (PECS) process. The dispersed metal partical size depended on temperature and time in calcination and reduction processes. The phase analyses in the synthesized powders as a functioni of temperature were tracked using a dynamic high temperature X-ray diffractioni (HTXRD) system. Phase and crystallite size analyses were done using X-ray diffractioni and TEM. The MgO/metal nanocomposites were successfully fabricated, and ferromagnetic responses with enhanced coercive force were also investigated for these composites.

본 연구에서는 자력선별 토양정화기술 공정에 적합한 토양의 최적 분산 조건을 도출하기 위하여 토성이 다른 중금속 오염토양 2종의 시료(US, JIK)를 대상으로 분산특성 및 중금속 용출 특성을 파악하였다. 분산제로는 인산염(pyrophosphate, hexametaphosphate, orthophosphate), 계면활성제(sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS)가 사용되었으며, pH = 9~12와 농도변화(1~200 mM)에 따른 토양입단의 분산특성 및 중금속 함량을 파악하고, 효율적인 분산조건을 도출하였다. 분산용액의 pH변화에 따른 토양분산 특성은 입도변화 결과를 통하여 파악할 수 있는데, 분산용액의 pH가 12에 가까워질수록 현탁액의 점토함량이 증가하였다. 이는 pH가 상승함에 따라 PZC(point of zero charge)이상의 pH가 유지되면서 점토입자들이 분산된 상태로 유지된 것으로 여겨진다. 농도변화에 따른 토양분산 실험 결과, 농도가 증가함에 따라서 높은 점토함량을 나타내었는데, 이는 산화철, 산화망간의 PZC보다 높은 분산용액의 pH조건과 분산제의 흡착에 기인한 것으로 판단된다. 토양입자의 분산에 따른 중금속 용출은 pyrophosphate, hexametaphosphate, orthophosphate는 50 mM 이상의 농도에서, SDS의 경우 100 mM이상의 농도에서 비소 용출량이 일정하게 나타났다. 또한, 분산용액의 pH가 증가함에 따라 비소 용출량도 증가하였다. 인산염은 비소와 유사한 화학구조를 지니고 있어 토양입자표면에서 흡착경쟁을 하여 비소의 탈착을 유발하고, 계면활성제는 토양입자표면에 흡착하여 비소가 탈착되는 것으로 파악된다. 분산용액에 따른 분산효과는 pyrophosphate > hexametaphosphate > SDS > orthophosphate의 순으로 나타났다. 결과적으로 분산효율 및 비소용출량을 고려한 최적의 토양분산용액 조건은 pH 11, 10 mM pyrophosphate로 판단된다. 이러한 결과들은 고구배 자력선별 기술을 이용한 토양정화 공정을 최적화하는데 활용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

글리세라이드의 지방산 사슬길이 및 구조적 차이에 따른 영향을 평가하기 위하여 팜오일에서 추출된 글리세롤과 palmitic acid, stearic acid등 사슬길이가 $C_{12}{\sim}C_{18}$인 지방산을 이용하여, mono, di, tri등 다양한 글리세라이드 구조를 가진 신규 분산제를 합성하였고, 이를 실리카 충진배합물에 적용하여 기존의 금속염 분산제와 비교평가 하였다. 실험결과, 글리세라이드 분산제는 기존의 금속염 지방산 분산제 대비 혼합고무 내 윤활효과가 낮아서 혼합고무의 점도는 높으나, 실리카 분산이 크게 향상됨을 확인하였다. 이는 기계적 물성과 마모성능, Payne effect로 확인되었다. 또한 글리세라이드의 지방산 사슬길이가 길수록, 글리세롤에 중합된 지방산 수가 적을수록(tri- < di-< mono-glyceride)혼합고무 내 실리카 분산특성은 향상되었다.

An idea for extension of propagation range of surface plasmon-polaritons(SPP), which are guided on metal-strip waveguides, is suggested. Slight modification in refractive indices and/or separation gaps can increase two orders of magnitude in propagation distance of SPPs. Dispersion relations of extended long-range SPP modes excited on vertically coupled SPP waveguides are discussed in detail.

An optimum route to synthesize $Al_2O_3$-based composite powders with homogeneous dispersion of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was investigated. CNTs/Metal/$Al_2O_3$ nanocomposite powders were fabricated by thermal chemical vapor deposition of $C_2H_2$ gas over metal/$Al_2O_3$ nanocomposite catalyst prepared by selective reduction of metal oxide/$Al_2O_3$ powders. The FT-Raman spectroscopy analysis revealed that the CNTs have single- and multi-walled structure. The CNTs with the diameter of 25-43 nm were homogeneously distributed in the metal/$Al_2O_3$ powders, and their characteristics were strongly affected by a kind of metal catalyst and catalyst size. The experimental results show that the composite powder with required size and dispersion of CNTs can be realized by control of synthesis condition.

In this study, we prepare polymer solar cells incorporating organic ligand-modified Ag nanoparticles (O-AgNPs) highly dispersed in the P3HT:PCBM layer. Ag nanoparticles decorated with water-dispersible ligands (WAgNPs) were also utilized as a control sample. The existence of the ligands on the Ag surface was confirmed by FT-IR spectra. Metal nanoparticles with different surface chemistries exhibited different dispersion tendencies. O-AgNPs were highly dispersed even at high concentrations, whereas W-AgNPs exhibited significant aggregation in the polymer layer. Both dispersion and blending concentration of the Ag nanoparticles in P3HT:PCBM matrix had critical effects on the device performance as well as light absorption. The significant changes in short-circuit current density ($J_{SC}$) of the solar cells seemed to be related to the change in the polymer morphology according to the concentration of AgNPs introduced. These findings suggested the importance of uniform dispersion of plasmonic metal nanoparticles and their blending concentration conditions in order to boost the solar cell performance.

In order to investigate the dispersion patterns and contamination level of heavy metals in the soil-ecosystem and to evaluate the efficiency of soil remediation by reversed soil method, soils and plants were collected from the Dongjin Au-Ag-Cu mine area and analysed for heavy metals. The dispersion patterns of heavy metals in soils and plants show that heavy metal pollutions caused by waste rump around Dongjin mine are mainly found in the vicinity of the waste rump and in the southward slanting of mine. Toxic metallic pollutants from the mine influence heavy metal contents in paddy soils in downstream area, and may be a potential sources of heavy metal pollution on crop plants. Soil samples collected from the remediated rice farming field by reversed method show similar levels of heavy metal content to those from the polluted rice farming field, but topsoil enrichment of heavy metals are not found. Heavy metal contents of the rice plants collected from remediated rice farming field are significantly lower than those from polluted rice farming field, and it suggests that the reversed soil method is effective for the reduction of bioavailability of heavy metals.

We have evaluated the performance of strain-chirped fiber Bragg grating (FBG) based tunable dispersion compensator in a 40 Gb/s transmission link. In our proposed compensator, the value of dispersion could be changed from -353 ps/nm to -962 ps/nm by adjusting the rotation angle of the metal beam on which the FBG was mounted. In order to evaluate the effect of ripples in reflectivity and variations in passband of the FBG based dispersion compensator, transmission performance has been measured with our tunable dispersion compensator. Error-free transmission of a 40 Gb/s non-return-to-zero (NRZ) signal over conventional single-mode fiber (SMF) was achieved.

Within the scope of the plane-strain state, by utilizing the three-dimensional linearized theory of elastic waves in initially stressed piezoelectric and elastic materials, Lamb wave propagation and the influence of the initial stresses on this propagation in a sandwich plate with pre-stressed piezoelectric face and pre-stressed metal elastic core layers are investigated. Dispersion equations are derived for the extensional and flexural Lamb waves and, as a result of numerical solution to these equations, the corresponding dispersion curves for the first (fundamental) and second modes are constructed. Concrete numerical results are obtained for the cases where the face layers' materials are PZT-2 or PZT-6B, but the material of the middle layer is Steel (St) or Aluminum (Al). Sandwich plates PZT-2/St/PZT-2, PZT-2/Al/PZT-2, PZT-6B/St/PZT-6B and PZT-6B/Al/PZT-6B are examined and the influence of the problem parameters such as piezoelectric and dielectric constants, layer thickness ratios and third order elastic constants of the St and Al on the effects of the initial stresses on the wave propagation velocity is studied.
