The polymer of (2,2-dimethyl-1,3-propanediaminebis(salicylideneaminato))-nickel(II), Ni(saldMp), was deposited on multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) substrate by the route of potential linear sweep. The nano structures of poly[Ni(saldMp)] have been obtained by adjusting the monomer concentration of 0.1, 0.2, 0.5, 1.0 and 1.5 mmol $L^{-1}$. The poly[Ni(saldMp)] prepared in acetonitrile solution with monomer concentration of 1.0 mmol $L^{-1}$ shows the fastest growth rate. The effects of potential window on charge-discharge efficiency and electrodeposition scan number on capacitance performance were discussed. Poly[Ni(saldMp)] prepared with less electrodeposition scans exhibits higher capacitance, but this goes against the improvement of the whole electrode capacitance. Sample with 8 deposition scans is the best compromise with the geometric specific capacitance 3.53 times as high as that of pure MWCNTs, and 1.24 times for the gravimetric specific capacitance under the test potential window 0.0-1.0 V.

One dimensional(1D) $Na_2Ti_6O_{13}$ nanorods with 70 nm in diameter was synthesized by a molten salt method. Using the synthesized nanorods, about 750 nm thick $Na_2Ti_6O_{13}$ film was coated on Fluorine-doped tin oxide(FTO) glasss substrate by the Layer-by-layer self-assembly(LBL-SA) method in which a repetitive self-assembling of ions containing an opposite electric charge in an aqueous solution was utilized. Using the Kubelka-Munk function, the band gap energy of the 1D-$Na_2Ti_6O_{13}$ nanorods was nalyzed to be 3.5 eV. On the other hand, the band gap energy of the $Na_2Ti_6O_{13}$ film coated on FTO was found to be a reduced value of 2.9 eV, resulting from the nano-scale and high porosity of the film processed by LBL-SA method, which was favorable for the photo absorption capability. A significant improvement of photocurrent and onset voltage was observed with the $Na_2Ti_6O_{13}$ film incorporated into the conventional $Fe_2O_3$ photoelectrode: the photocurrent increased from 0.25 to 0.82 mA/$cm^2$, the onset voltage decreased from 0.95 to 0.78 V.

[ $WO_3$ ]powders were ball-milled with an alumina ball for 0-72 hours. $In_2O_3$ doped $WO_3$ was prepared by soaking ball-milled $WO_3$ in an $InCl_3$ solution. The mixed powder was annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in an air atmosphere. A paste for screen-printing the thick film was prepared by mixing the $WO_3$:In2O3 powders with ${\alpha}$-terpinol and glycerol. $In_2O_3$ doped $WO_3$ thick films were fabricated into a gas sensor by a screen-printing method on alumina substrates. The structural properties of the $WO_3$:$InO_3$ thick films were a monoclinic phase with a (002) dominant orientation. The particle size of the $WO_3$:$InO_3$ decreased with the ball-milling time. The sensing characteristics of the $In_2O_3$ doped $WO_3$ were investigated by measuring the electrical resistance of each sensor in the test-box. The highest sensitivity to 5 ppm $CH_4$ gas and 5 ppm $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas was observed in the ball-milled $WO_3$:$InO_3$ gas sensors at 48 hours. The response time of $WO_3$:$In_2O_3$ gas sensors was 7 seconds and recovery time was 9 seconds for the methane gas.

이온성 고분자-금속 복합체(ionic polymer-metal composite, IPMC) 구동기의 구동성능 향상을 위해 전기방사를 통해 제조된 나피온/전도성 나노입자 웹을 나피온 필름의 양면에 접합시켜 전해질막을 개질하였다. 전도성 나노입자는 다층탄소나노튜브(multiwalled carbon nanotube, MWNT)와 은 나노입자가 사용되었으며, 이를 각각 나피온 용액에 분산시켜 전기방사하였다. 개질된 IPMC는 향상된 구동변위, 응답속도 및 구동력을 나타내었으며 은 나노입자에 비해 MWNT가 더욱 뛰어난 구동변위와 구동력을 유도하였고, 전도성 나노입자가 포함되지 않은 전기방사 웹을 적용한 경우에도 성능향상이 관찰되었다. 제조된 IPMC의 우수한 구동성능은 전기방사 웹의 다공성에 의한 전해액 이동의 용이성, 고분산된 전도성 나노입자에 의해 유도된 높은 전기용량 및 낮은 전극 저항 때문인 것으로 분석되었다.

전기방사법으로 식물성 폴리페놀을 함유하는 PHBV 나노섬유를 제조하였으며, 얻어진 나노섬유의 평균직경은 340-450 nm였다. 폴리페놀의 첨가에 의해 나노섬유의 직경이 증가하였으며 폴리페놀의 첨가량도 나노섬유의 직경 변화에 영향을 미쳤다. 이는 PHBV와 폴리페놀 사이의 수소결합에 기인하는 것으로 확인되었다. 제조된 나노섬유를 이용한 ATR-FTIR 분석 결과 PHBV와 폴리페놀 사이에 수소결합이 존재하는 것을 확인할 수 있었고, XRD 분석 결과 폴리페놀의 첨가에 의해 PHBV 나노섬유의 결정성이 높아졌다. 이들 폴리페놀을 함유하는 나노섬유는 우수한 항균특성을 보였다.

의료용 금속 임플란트는 우수한 기계적 강도를 바탕으로 결손된 신체 부위의 보강, 대치, 회복을 위해 임상적으로 사용되고 있지만, 낮은 생체적합성 및 독성 때문에 염증 및 후기 혈전증, 재협착의 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이런 단점을 보안하기 위한 다양한 표면처리 기술 중, 본 연구에서는 금속표면에 생분해성 고분자인 poly (lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA)를 이용하여 전기분사 코팅(electrospray coating) 기술을 검토하였다. 전기분사와 용액 인자들의 기초적인 조사를 바탕으로, 코팅 필름의 표면형상은 방울이 날아가는 거리, 용매의 비등점, 방울의 크기에 밀접한 관련이 있다. 고분자 필름의 두께는 분사량에 선형적으로 비례를 하였다. 이 결과는 전기분사된 고분자 방울이 계속적으로 고분자 필름 위에 적층되는 것을 보여준다. 따라서, 전기분사 코팅기술은 스텐트와 같은 의료용 금속 임플란트에 있어서 표면 형상 조절, 나노/마이크로 두께의 단/다중층의 고분자 필름을 제조하는데 적용될 수 있다.

$LaCoO_3$ powders synthesized by Pechini process were pulverized by planetary ball-milling to decrease particle size and characterized as a catalyst in alkaline solution for oxygen reduction and evolution reaction (ORR & OER). The changes of physical properties, such as particle size distribution, surface area and electric conductivity, were analyzed as a function of ball-milling time. Also, the variations of the crystal structure and surface morphology of ball-milled powders were examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM), respectively. The electrochemically catalytic activities of the intrinsic $LaCoO_3$ powders decreased with increasing ball-milling time, but their electrochemical performance as an electrode improved by the increase of the surface area of the powder.

Pd-doped $SnO_2$ thick film with a pure tetragonal phase was prepared on patterned Pt electrodes by an ink dropping method. Nanostructured $SnO_2$ powder with a diameter of 10 nm was obtained by a modified hydrazine method. Then the ink solution was fabricated by mixing water, glycerol, bicine and the Pd-doped $SnO_2$ powder. When the Pd doping concentration was increased, the grain size of the Pd-doped $SnO_2$ thick film became smaller. However, an agglomerated and extruded surface morphology was observed for the films with Pd addition over 4 wt%. The orthorhombic phase disappeared even at a low Pd doping concentration and a PdO peak was obtained for a high Pd doping concentration. The crack-free Pd-doped $SnO_2$ thick films were able to successfully fill the $30{\mu}m$ gap of the patterned Pt electrodes by the optimized ink dropping method. The prepared 3 wt% Pd-doped $SnO_2$ thick films showed monoxide gas responses ($R_{air}/R_{CO}$) of 4.0 and 35.6 for 100 and 5000 ppm, respectively.

The free longitudinal vibration of a circular truncated nanocone is investigated based on the nonlocal elasticity theory. Exact analytical formulations for tapered nanostructures are derived and the nonlinear differential governing equation of motion is developed. The nonlocal small scale effect unavailable in classical continuum theory is addressed to reveal the long-range interaction of atoms implicated in nonlocal constitutive relation. Unlike most previous studies applying the truncation method to the infinite higher-order differential equation, this paper aims to consider all higher-order terms to show the overall nonlocality. The explicit solution of nonlocal stress for longitudinal deformation is determined and it is an infinite series incorporating the classical stress derived in classical mechanics of materials and the infinite higher-order derivative of longitudinal displacement. Subsequently, the first three modes natural frequencies are calculated numerically and the significant effects of nonlocal small scale and vertex angle on natural frequencies are examined. The coupling phenomenon of natural frequency is observed and it is induced by the combined effects of nonlocal small scale and vertex angle. The critical value of nonlocal small scale is defined, and after that a new proposal for determining the range of nonlocal small scale is put forward since the principle of choosing the nonlocal small scale is still unclear at present. Additionally, two different types of nonlocal effects, namely the nonlocal stiffness weakening and strengthening, reversed phenomena existing in nanostructures are observed and verified. Hence the opposite nonlocal effects are resolved again clearly. The nano-engineers dealing with a circular truncated nanocone-based sensors and oscillators may benefit from the present work.
