This paper analyzed the degradation behaviors of silica nano epoxy composite based on the isoconversional method. The size of the silica nano particle was about 12 nm and the particles were mixed by three different weight ratios to make the degradation test samples. The thermogravimetric analyses were performed under six different temperature increase rates to measure the weight changes. Four different methods, Friedman, Flynn-Wall-Ozawa, Kissinger and DAEM (Distributed Activation Energy Method), were employed to calculate the activation energies depending on the conversion ratios, and their calculation results were compared. The results represented that the activation energy was increased when the silica nano particles were mixed up to 10%, indicating the definite contribution of the particles to the degradation behavior enhancements. However, the enhancement was not proportional to the particle mixture ratio by demonstrating the similar activation energies between 10% and 18% samples. The calculation results by the different methods were also compared and discussed.

In this study cerium nano particles(CNPs) with 0-4.0 wt% was incorporated to the conventional dental pit and fissure sealant(ConciseTM) to produce new pit and fissure sealant the physical properties and cytotoxicity. The physical properties were measured for polymerizing depth the degree of water absorption and solubility. The cytotoxicity of cell viability was analyzed by MTT assay using immortalized human oral keratinocyte(IHOK). As a result of this preceding study the polymerizing depth was decreased by the increasing of the amount of CNPs. The solubility degree of the sealant added CNPs with 2.0 wt% showed was the lower and the water absorption showed no significantly difference with the control groups(p>0.05). The cytotoxicity test results showed high survival rates in all experimental groups. Therefore, pit and fissure sealant by the addition of CNPs excellent cell viability be produced without weaken the physical property of the cell viability fissure sealant containing CNPs does not weaken physical properties and has no cytotoxic effects biocompatibility. Considering its properties effect of CNPs, further studies are required for distribution technology application.

In this study, the setting time and compressive strength of cement paste composites applied with nano-micro pozzolanic binders were experimental analyzed. The pozzolanic binder was reduced initial and final setting time and the compressive strength was increased. Micro silica was effective in decrease the initial setting and final setting time and impressing the compressive strength. When two or more cement binders were used, the using of silica fume and a small amount of nano silica at reduced the setting time to 62-64 % to OPC cement and the compressive strength was increased to 117 %. A small amount of mixing the nano silica was effect to pore filling and pozzolanic activation. However, the addition of a chemical admixture should be considered when mixing table design because pozzolanic binders high specific surface area causes a decrease in cement composites flow.

DBD(Dielectric Barrier Discharge) plasma in air is well established for the production of large quantities of ozone and is more recently being applied to aftertreatment processes for HAPs(Hazardous Air Pollutants). Aim of this work is to determine design and operating parameters of a hybrid air cleaning system. DBD and ESP(Electrostatic Precipitator) are used as nano particle charger and collector, respectively. Pelletized MnO$_2$ catalyst or activated carbon is used fer ozone decomposition or adsorption material. AC voltage of 7～10 KV(rms) and 60 Hz is used as DBD plasma source. DC - 8 KV is applied to the ESP for particle collection. The overall particle collection efficiency for the hybrid system is over 85 % under 0.64 m/s face velocity. Ozone decomposition efficiency with pelletized MnO$_2$ catalyst or activated carbon packed bed is over 90 % when the face velocity is under 0.4 m/s in dry air.

Silver nanoparticles were prepared by reacting silver nitrate and trisodium citrate in an aqueous solution. Their size and shape were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The synthesis was carried with different silver nitrate concentration, addition of TSC, solvent, surfactant, ultrasonication, and dispersing agent. With higher concentration of silver nitrate or TSC, the particles became large or agglomerated. The SEM results showed that the nanoparticles have spherical and pseudospherical shape with a narrow size distribution. The hydrophobic solvent did not affect the dispersibility, but the hydrophilic solvent enhanced it. The addition of HPMC surfactant caused the size to increase (50-100 nm) with non-uniform shapes and partial agglomeration. The dispersibility was significantly improved by ultrasonication for over 3 hours after the addition of a dispersing agent. Complete dispersion was achieved by adding the dispersant, and the nanoparticle sizes were as follows: 30-40 nm (BYK-182) < 42-78 nm (BYK-192) < 51-113 nm (BYK-142). The nanoparticles were 38.45-46.28 nm after the addition of 2-4 wt% TSC in 0.002 M silver nitrate solution.

ZnO는 상온에서 3.37 eV의 넓은 밴드갭을 가지는 직접천이형 반도체이다. 상온에서 60 meV의 큰 엑시톤 결합에너지를 가짐으로 인해 엑시톤 재결합에 의한 강한 UV 레이저 발진효과를 기대할 수 있다. 이러한 장점을 갖는 ZnO 박막을 이용하여 광소자 등에 응용하기 위하여 양질의 ZnO 박막성장이 필수적이며, 이를 위해 MBE, MOCVD, PLD, rf magnetron sputtering 등 다양한 증착방법을 통한 연구결과가 보고되고 있다. 또한 p형 불순물인 As과 N 도핑 및 Ga과 N의 co-doping 방법 등을 통하여 p형 ZnO 박막을 제조하였음이 보고되고 있으나 재현성 문제 등으로 인해 계속적인 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 MOCVD를 이용하여 A1$_2$O$_3$(0001) 기판 위에 ZnO 박막을 성장시켰다. Zn 전구체로 DEZn을 사용하였으며, 산소 source로 $O_2$를 사용하였다. 증착온도, Ⅵ/II 비율, 반응기 압력 등 MOCVD의 중요한 공정변수들의 체계적인 변화에 따른 박막성장 양상을 조사하였다. 증착 조건에 따라 ZnO 입자의 모양이 주상(column), nano-rod, nano-needle, nano-wire 등으로 급격하게 변화됨을 확인하였으며, 이러한 입자의 모양과 결정성장 방향 및 광학적 특성과의 상관관계의 해석을 시도하였다.

Although dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) in air has been applied to a wider range of aftertreatment processes for HAPs (Hazardous Air Pollutants), due to its high electron density and energy, its potential use as precharging dust particles is not well known. In this work, we measured size distributions of bimodal aerosol particles and estimated collection efficiency of the particles by an electrostatic precipitator (ESP) using DBD as particle charger. To examine the particle collection with DBD charger, nano size particles of NaCl(20∼100nm) and DOS (50∼500nm) were generated by a tube furnace and an atomizer, respectively. For experimental conditions of 60㎐, 11㎸ and 60 lpm, the particle collection efficiency for the hybrid system was over 85%, based on the number of particles captured.

Dielectric Barrier Discharge (DBD) in air, which has been established for the production of large quantities of ozone, is more recently being applied to a wider range of aftertreatment processes for HAPs (Hazardous Air Pollutants). Although DBD has high electron density and energy, its potential use as precharging nano and submicron particles are not well known. In this work, we measured I-V characteristics of DBD and estimated collection efficiency of the particles by DBD type 2-stage ESP. To examine the particle collection with various applied voltage waveforms of DBD for nano and submicron sized, bimodal particles were generated by a electrical tube furnace and an atomizer.

전기방사법을 이용하여 PVK-CdTe 용액으로 하이브리드 나노파이버를 제조하였다. 하이브리드 나노파이버 형상은 광학현미경과 Scanning Electron Microscope으로 관찰되었으며, 직경은 $300nm\;{\sim}\;30{\mu}m$이고, 길이는 $500\;{\mu}m$이상 이였다. PVK-CdTe 하이브리드 나노파이버의 Photoluminescence 측정을 통하여 하이브리드 나노파이버내에 나노입자특성을 유지한 CdTe 나노입자의 존재를 확인하였으며, 대기와 진공 중에서의 I-V 측정을 통해 진공 상태에서보다 대기상태에서 약 2배 정도 전류가 증가한다는 것을 알았다.
