The effects of particle size distribution on the magnetorheological response of inverse ferrofluids was investigated using controlled mixtures of two monodisperse non-magnetisable powders of sizes $4.6\;{\mu}m\;and\;80{\mu}m$ at constant volume fraction of 30%, subjected to large amplitude oscillatory shear flow. In the linear viscoelastic regime (pre-yield region), it was found that the storage and loss moduli were dependent on the particle size as well as the proportion of small particles, with the highest storage modulus occurring for the monodisperse small particles. In the nonlinear regime (post yield region), Fourier analysis was used to compare the behaviour of the $1^{st}\;and\;3^{rd}$ harmonics ($I_{1}\;and\;I_{3}\;respectively$) as well as the fundamental phase angle as functions of the applied strain amplitude. The ratio of $I_{3}/I_{1}$ was found to become more pronounced with decreasing particle size as well as with increasing proportion of small particles in the bidisperse mixtures. Furthermore, the phase angle was able to clearly show the transition from solid-like to viscous behaviour. The results suggested that the nonlinear response of a bidisperse IFF is dependent on particle size as well as the proportion of small particles in the system.

Almost monodisperse iron oxide nanoparticles with an average particle size ranging from 5 to 43 nm were fabricated using an environmentally friendly starting material, ferrous acetate. The smallest particles were formed in the presence of a reductant, 1,2-dodecanediol, while the particle size increased with increasing concentration of dispersing agents. The dispersants consisted of various combinations of oleic acid, oleylamine, trioctylphosphine, and polyvinylpyrrolidone. The threshold temperature to form crystalline particles was found to be $240^{\circ}C$. The 43 nm nanoparticles exhibited a room temperature saturation magnetization and coercivity of 57 emu/g and 47 Oe, respectively.

본 연구는 주사기 바늘 기반의 미세유체 장치에서 균일한 polyethylene glycol diacrylate (PEGDA) 입자를 제조하는 새로운 방법을 소개한다. 미세유체 장치는 다양한 규격의 기성품들을 별도의 장비없이 조립하여 제작된다. 이 미세유체 장치에서 광개시제를 포함한 PEGDA 분산상과 오일의 연속상의 부피유속을 제어하여 단분산성 PEGDA 액적을 형성한다. PEGDA 액적은 장치의 말단에서 자외선 조사에 의해 입자로 중합된다. 입자의 크기는 부피유속과 미세유체 장치의 규격을 조절하여 손쉽게 제어되며 입자의 단분산도는 변동계수(coefficient of variation)값이 2.57%로 계산된다. PEGDA입자의 생물학적 응용을 증명하기 위해서 세포를 함입시키고 증식과 생존을 관찰한다.

산성 도금조에서 차인산나트륨을 환원제로 하는 무전해 도금법을 사용하여 직경 $4{\mu}m$의 PMMA(poly-methylmethacrylate)/HDDA(1,6-hexanedioldiacrylate) 단분산 가교 고분자 미립자에 니켈층을 코팅할 시 1) 전처리 조건변화, 2) 도금조 온도변화, 3) 도금조 pH 변화, 및 4) 초기 도금조 pH 조절 등에 따라서 도금속도, 도금면의 상태 및 도금 재현성을 관찰하였다. 무전해 도금에서의 전처리 과정은 모든 단계가 중요하였으나 특히 conditioning 및 acceleration 과정이 균일한 도금층을 형성하는데 중요하였고, 도금조 온도 및 pH의 상승에 따라서 도금속도가 증가하였으며, 특히 초기 도금조의 pH의 조절이 도금 재현성을 확보하는데 매우 중요하였다.

Stable, spherical, polystyrene particles were synthesized in ab initio dispersion polymerization by using the poly(methacrylic acid)[PMAA] macro-RAFT agent. The presence of the PMAA macro-RAFT agent on the polystyrene (PS) particles was confirmed by NMR and FTIR spectroscopy. The PS particle size was influenced by the concentration of the RAFT agent and monomer due to the initial nucleation. When the concentration of the PMAA macro-RAFT agent was increased from 2 to 10 wt% relative to the monomer, the average particle size decreased from 2.31 to 1.36 ${\mu}m$, the conversion decreased from 93.3 to 88.9%, the weight-average molecular weight increased from 46,300 to 150,200 g $mol^{-1}$ and the PDI decreased from 2.79 to 1.94, respectively. In particular, the incorporation of 10 wt% of PMAA macro-RAFT agent produced monodisperse PS spheres of 1.36 ${\mu}m$ with a coefficient of variation (CV) of 6.44%. Thus, the PMAA macro-RAFT agent worked as a reactive steric stabilizer providing monodisperse, micron-sized, PS particles.

Aerosol charge neutralizers with various radioactive sources have been used to apply an equilibrium charge distribution to aerosols of unknown charge distribution. However, the performance of aerosol charge neutralizers is not well known, especially for highly charged particles. Measurements of highly charged particles are needed in air cleaning devices, e.g. electrostatic precipitator, bag filter with a pre-charger, and electrical cyclone. In this study, the particle charging characteristics of two different aerosol charge neutralizers were experimentally investigated for singly charged monodisperse particles and highly charged polydisperse particles. One has radioactive source of $^{85}$ Kr (beta source, 2 mCi) and the other has $^{210}$ Po (alpha source, 0,5 mCi). The air flow rate passing through each aerosol charge neutralizer was changed from 0.2 to 2.5 L/min. The results show that the charge distribution of singly charged monodisperse particles passing through the $^{85}$ Kr aerosol charge neutralizer is well agreed with the Boltzmann equilibrium charge distribution at an air flow rate of 0.3 L/min, However, it deviates from the equilibrium charge distribution when the air flow rates are 0.6, 1,0, and 1,5 L/min, On the other hands, the effect of air flow rate is insignificant for the $^{210}$ Po aerosol charge neutralizer. The non-equilibrium character in charge distribution of highly charged polydisperse particles passing through the $^{85}$ Kr aerosol charge neutralizer greatly depends on the air flow rate, however it is insensitive to the air flow rate for the $^{210}$ Po aerosol charge neutralizer.

The carbon nano-structured materials could be applied to the fields of advanced fillers, templates, electrode materials, sensor, storage, and absorption materials. The polyacrylonitrile (PAN) based carbon nano-particles provide the remarkable properties of high specific surface area, large pore volume, chemical inertness, and good mechanical stability. In this study, well-defined carbon nano-particles were obtained through pyrolysis of polyacrylonitrile based particles. The precursor nano-particles were prepared by modified aqueous dispersion polymerization using hydrophilic poly(vinyl alcohol) in a water/ N,N-dimethylformamide mixture media. Synthesized precursor nanoparticles have relatively monodisperse particles ranging 80 ~ 250nm. Stable spherical particles are obtained without coagulum or secondary particles in our system. The characteristic of the carbon nanoparticles were investigated in terms of surface area, morphology, and size distribution.

Agglomerated and non-agglomerated SiO$_2$ particles are synthesized in a furnace by oxidation of TEOS vapor. These polydispersed particles are classified with DMA to extract particles. Then these particles are introduced into a thermal precipitator through the ESP(Electrostatic Precipitator) to investigate the themophoretic particle deposition using CNCs(Condensation Nuclei Counter). The efficiency of themophoretic particle deposition according to agglomerated and non-agglomerated particles in the thermal precipitator has been studied as a function of particle size and TEOS mole concentration using monodisperse particles classified by DMA. The results show that the particle deposition efficiency decreases as TEOS mole concentration increases and particle size increases. Thereffre, it is concluded that the thermophoretic deposition efficiency is dependent of the particle morphology.
