Poly(vinylpyrrolidone) stabilized cadmium sulfide (CdS) nanoparticles were loaded onto the surface of silica ($SiO_2$) nanoparticles by using ${\gamma}$-irradiation. TEM micrograph reveals the presence of ~20nm sized CdS nanoparticles on the surface of $SiO_2$ nanoparticles. XRD patterns confirm the crystalline. PL spectra of the simple PVP-stabilized CdS nanoparticle and $SiO_2$@CdS composite confirm the differences in the emission characteristics between them. Two prominent emission peaks were noted around 550 nm and 600 nm for PVP-stabilized CdS nanoparticles). The emission peaks noted for the PVP-stabilized CdS nanoparticles were found to be blue shifted for $SiO_2$@CdS composites. Besides, an additional emission peak around 450 nm was noticed for the $SiO_2$@CdS composite. The presence of CdS nanoparticles influence the emission characteristics and induce quantum confinement effect.

자동차에서 배출되는 오염물질은 크게 CO, THC, NOx, $CO_2$와 같은 가스상물질과 입자상물질로 나눌 수 있다. 이러한 오염물질들은 사용되는 연료의 종류 및 조성에 따라 차이가 있으나 대부분 인체에 해로운 성분들이 대부분이다. 많은 연구자들은 이러한 성분들이 인체 및 대기환경에 미치는 영향을 조사하고 그 저감방안에 대한 기술적인 방법들을 연구하고 있다. 특히 근래에 들어 자동차, 그중에서도 경유차에서 배출되는 나노입자가 미치는 인체 위해성에 대한 연구가 매우 활발하다. (중략)

유리내부에 수십나노크기의 Ag 금속입자를 생성시키기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 본 연구에서는 규산염계 유리에 Ag와 Ce을 첨가하여 환원분위기에서 유리를 제조함으로서 Ce$^{3+}$ 를 유리내에 생성시킬 수 있었으며, 또한 레이저조사(irradiation)를 통하여 Ag+이온의 금속입자 환원을 도울 수 있었다. 또한 레이저 조사시간에 따른 금속입자의 변화를 관찰하고자 하였으며, 이와 같은 과정으로 생성된 금속입자함유 유리를 열처리함으로서 나타나는 열적특성을 평가하여 금속입자가 결정화과정에 미치는 영향을 평가하고자 하였다. 유리내에 존재하는 나노금속입자를 투과전자현미경 (TEM)을 통하여 확인하였으며, 시차주사열량분석법(DSC)을 통해 유리의 결정화거동을 평가하였다. 또한 Photo Luminescence 측정을 통한 유리내부의 Ce이온의 전자상태를 관찰하였다.

High-transmittance film was coated by using spherical silica nano colloids. Silica colloid sol was preservred between two inclined slide glasses by capillary force, and particles were stacked to form a film onto the substrate as the upper glass was sliding. As the sliding speed increased, the thickness of the film decreased and light transmittance varied. The microstructure observed by SEM showed that silica particles were nearly close packed, which enabled the calculation of the effective refractive index of the film. The film thickness calculated from the wavelength of maximum transmittance and the effective refractive index was well coincided with the thickness observed by SEM and measured by profiler. The maximum transmittance of $94.7\%$ was obtained. This means that $97.4\%$ of transmittance or $1.3\%$ of reflectance can be achieved by simple process if both sides of the substrate are coated.

Hybrid nanomaterials consisting of multi-walled carbon nanotube(MWNT) and/or PEDOT of conductive polymer were prepared in this study. In the presence of catalyst and ligand, the MWNT-Br compound prepared by the successive surface treatment reaction was mixed with MMA to initiate the atom transfer radical polymerization process. PMMA was covalently linked to the surface of MWNT for the formation of MWNT/PMMA nanocomposites. The EDOT and oxidant were added in the aqueous emulsion of PS produced via a miniemulsion polymerization process and then it proceeded to carry out the oxidative chemical polymerization of EDOT for the preparation of PEDOT/PS nanoparticles with the core-shell structure. The aqueous dispersion of PEDOT:poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) was mixed with the silica particles treated with a silane compound and thus PEDOT:PSS-clad silica nanoparticles were prepared by the surface chemistry reaction. The hybrid nanomaterials were analyzed by using TEM, FE-SEM, TGA, EDX, UV, and FT-IR.

In this study, we introduce the structural analysis of amorphous silica nanoparticles by EF-TEM electron diffraction and in-situ heating experiments. Three diffused rings were observed on the electron diffraction patterns of initial silica nanoparticles, while crystalline spot patterns were gradually appeared during the insitu heating process at $900^{\circ}C$. These patterns indicate the basic unit of $SiO_4$ tetrahedra consisting amorphous silica and gradual crystallization into the ideal layer structure of tridymite by heating. Under high vacuum condition in TEM, SiO nanoparticles were redeposited on the carbon grid after evaporation of SiO gas from $SiO_2$ above $850^{\circ}C$ and the remaining $SiO_2$ were crystallized into orthorhombic tridymite, consistent with ex-situ heating results in furnace at $900^{\circ}C$.

Ceria ($CeO_2$) is a rare earth oxide, which has been widely investigated to improve the property. It is important to increase the surface area of $CeO_2$, because high surface area of $CeO_2$ can improve the catalytic ability. $CeO_2$ nanoparticles were synthesized by a solvothermal process. A discussion on the influence of solvent ratio and precursors on $CeO_2$ nanoparticles was performed. The size and degree of the agglomeration of the synthesized $CeO_2$ could be tuned by controlling those parameters. The average size and distribution of prepared $CeO_2$ powders was in the range of 3 to 13 nm and narrow, respectively. The XRD pattern showed that the synthesized $CeO_2$ powders were crystalline with cubic phase of $CeO_2$. The average particle size was calculated by Scherrer equation and FE-TEM images. The morphology of the synthesized $CeO_2$ particle was objected using FE-TEM and FE-SEM. Specific surface area of the synthesized $CeO_2$ was determined using BET (Brunauer-Emmett-Teller) equation.

The effects of silica content were studied on UV curing characteristics and defect formations in imprinted patterns of hundreads nanometer size for the photo-curable imprinting composites with silica particles. An increase in elasticity and a decrease in shrinkage were observed with an increase in silica content in the imprinting resin which was UV cured at room temperature. However, the patterned nano-pillars were stuck together with neighboring nano-pillars if the amount of silica is more than 7 wt%. This can be ascribed to the increased viscosity of imperfectly cured resin due to the obstruction of the photo-reaction by silica particles. Addition of silica to the imprinting resin is useful in enhancing the strength of the cured resin although it is difficult to get good imprinted patterns for the resin with more than 7 wt% of silica due to the reduction of photo-reaction conversion.
