Ag doped Hydroxyapatite powder in nano-scale was successfully synthesized either by co-precipitation or by ion exchange route. The fabricated powder was successfully dispersed through freeze drying due to the prevention of secondary particles. The antimicrobial effects of nano-HAp against E.coli was superior to micron ones not only in its strength but also in duration.

This study aims to investigate the usage of nano-scale particles in a micro metal injection molding ($\mu$-MIM) process. Nanoscale particle is effective to improve transcription and surface roughness in small structure. Moreover, the effects of hybrid micro/nano particles, Cu/Cu and SUS/Cu were investigated. Small dumbbell specimens were produced using various feedstocks prepared by changing binder content and fraction of nano-scale Cu particle (0.3 and $0.13{\mu}m$ in particle size). The effects of adding the fraction of nano-scale Cu powder on the melt viscosity of the feedstock, microstructure, density and tensile strength of sintered parts were discussed.

In this study, nano-scale copper powders were reduction treated in a hydrogen atmosphere at the relatively high temperature of $350^{\circ}C$ in order to eliminate surface oxide layers, which are the main obstacles for fabricating a nano/ultrafine grained bulk parts from the nano-scale powders. The changes in composition and microstructure before and after the hydrogen reduction treatment were evaluated by analyzing X-ray diffraction (XRD) line profile patterns using the convolutional multiple whole profile (CMWP) procedure. In order to confirm the result from the XRD line profile analysis, transmitted electron microscope observations were performed on the specimen of the hydrogen reduction treated powders fabricated using a focused ion beam process. A quasi-statically compacted specimen from the nano-scale powders was produced and Vickers micro-hardness was measured to verify the potential of the powders as the basis for a bulk nano/ultrafine grained material. Although the bonding between particles and the growth in size of the particles occurred, crystallites retained their nano-scale size evaluated using the XRD results. The hardness results demonstrate the usefulness of the powders for a nano/ultrafine grained material, once a good consolidation of powders is achieved.

In chemistry, the study of sonochemistry is concerned with understanding the effect of sonic waves and wave properties on chemical systems. In the area of chemical kinetics, it has been observed that ultrasound can greatly enhance chemical reactivity in a number of systems by as much as a million-fold. Nano-technology is a super microscopic technology in which structures of 100 nanometers or smaller can be investigated. This technology has been used to develop $TiO_2$ materials and $TiO_2$ devices of that size. Thus far, electrochemistry methods and photochemistry methods have generally been used to create $TiO_2$ nano-size particles. However, these methods are complicated and create pollutants as a by-product. In the present study, nano-scale silver particles (5 nm) were prepared in a sonochemistry method. Sonochemistry deals with mechanical energy that is provided by the collapse of cavitation bubbles that form in solutions during exposure to ultrasound. $TiO_2$ powders 25 nm in size doped with Ag were formed using an ultrasonic sound technique. The experimental results showed the high possibility of removing pollution through the action of a photocatalyst. This powder synthesis technique can be considered as an environmentally friendly powder-forming processing owing to its energy saving characteristics.

The unique nano-scale inter-lamellar microstructure and unparalleled heat treatment process give our developed metal powder composite its outstanding magnetic property for power inductor & motor applications. Compared to the conventional polycrystalline Fe or amorphous Fe-Cr-Si-B alloys, our unique designed inter-lamellar microstructure strongly decreases the intra-particle eddy current loss at high frequencies by blocking the mutual eddy currents. The combination of optimum permeability, magnetic flux and extremely low core loss makes this powder composite suitable for high frequency applications well above 10 MHz. Moreover, it can be also possible to SMC core for high speed motor applications in order to increase the motor efficiency by decreasing the core loss.

The automotive industry has focused on the development of metallic materials with high specific strength, which can meet both fuel economy and safety goals. Here, a new class of ultrafine-grained high-Mn steels containing nano-scale oxides is developed using powder metallurgy. First, high-energy mechanical milling is performed to dissolve alloying elements in Fe and reduce the grain size to the nanometer regime. Second, the ball-milled powder is consolidated using spark plasma sintering. During spark plasma sintering, nanoscale manganese oxides are generated in Fe-15Mn steels, while other nanoscale oxides (e.g., aluminum, silicon, titanium) are produced in Fe-15Mn-3Al-3Si and Fe-15Mn-3Ti steels. Finally, the phases and resulting hardness of a variety of high-Mn steels are compared. As a result, the sintered pallets exhibit superior hardness when elements with higher oxygen affinity are added; these elements attract oxygen from Mn and form nanoscale oxides that can greatly improve the strength of high-Mn steels.

The sintering mechanisms of nanoscale copper powders have been investigated. A molecular dynamics (MD) simulation with the embedded-atom method (EAM) was employed for these simulations. The dimensional changes for initial-stage sintering such as characteristic lengths, neck growth, and neck angle were calculated to understand the densification behavior of copper nano-powders. Factors affecting sintering such as the temperature, powder size, and crystalline misalignment between adjacent powders have also been studied. These results could provide information of setting the processing cycles and material designs applicable to nano-powders. In addition, it is expected that MD simulation will be a foundation for the multi-scale modeling in sintering process.

나노급 다이아몬드는 최근 폭발법이나 증착법에 의한 신공정으로 100 nm 이하의 분말형태의 제조가 가능하다. 나노급 다이아몬드의 소결을 이용하면 이상적인 연마기기의 제작이 가능하다. 이러한 나노급 다이아몬드의 소결 공정에서 생기는 비이상적인 나노결정의 결정립성장과 다이아몬드 결합장애를 방지하기 위해서 나노급 무기물을 균일하게 코팅하는 공정개발이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 나노급 다이아몬드의 소결 특성을 향상시키기 위해서 ALD(atomic layer deposition)을 이용하여 진공에서 $20{\sim}30\;nm$ 두께의 ZnO 박막을 코팅해 보았다. 나노급 다이아몬드 분말 전면에 경제적으로 ZnO ALD를 위해서 기존의 기계적 진동효과 또는 전용 fluidized bed reactor를 대치하여 새로이 20 mm 석영튜브 안에 다이아몬드 분말을 넣고 다공성 유리필터로 막은 후 펄스와 퍼지 공정시의 압력에 의한 다이아몬드의 부유를 이용한 변형된 fluidized bed 공정을 채용하였다. 다공성 유리필터로 양쪽이 막힌 석영튜브 안에 전구체 DEZn (diethylzinc : $C_4H_{10}Zn$)와 반응기체 $H_2O$를 사용하여 ZnO 박막을 캐니스터 온도 $10^{\circ}C$에서 원자층증착하였다. 공정 순서 및 반응물질 주입 시간은 DEZn pulse-0.1초, DEZn purge-20초, $H_2O$ pulse-0.1초, $H_2O$ purge-40초와 같이 설정하였으며, 이 네 단계를 1 cycle로 정의하여 100 cycle 반복 실시하였다. 다이아몬드 분말과 ZnO 박막이 증착된 다이아몬드 분말의 미세구조를 확인하기 위하여 투과전자현미경 (transmission electron microscope)을 이용하였다. TEM 측정결과, ALD 증착 전 나노급 다이아몬드 분말의 직경이 약 $70{\sim}120\;nm$이었고 사면체, 육면체 등의 다양한 형태를 보임을 확인하였다. ZnO 박막이 ALD코팅된 다이아몬드 분말의 직경은 약 $90{\sim}150\;nm$이었고, 다이아몬드 분말과 ZnO의 명암차이에 의해 약 $20{\sim}30\;nm$ 두께의 균일한 ZnO 박막이 다각형 형태의 다이아몬드 파우더 표면에 성공적으로 증착되었음을 확인하였다.

Nanotechnology is the creation and utilization of materials, devices, and systems through the control of matter on the nanometer-length scale, that is, at the level of atoms, molecules, and supramolecular structures. The essence of nanotechnology is the ability to work at these levels to generate larger structures with fundamentally new molecular organization. These nanostructures, made with building blocks understood from first principles, are the smallest human-made objects, and they exhibit novel physical, chemical, and biological properties and phenomena. The aim of nanotechnology is to learn to exploit these properties and efficiently manufacture and employ the structures. Control of matter on the nanoscale already plays an important role in scientific disciplines as diverse as physics, chemistry, materials science, biology, medicine, engineering, and computer simulation. This paper describes the superprecision nano separator to productive particle size of nano powder. this separator system is very important in the industrial area for other high technology parts.
