This article presents the challenges toward the successful consolidation of $Al_2O_3$ nanopowder using magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC). In this research the ultrafine-structured $Al_2O_3$ bulks have been fabricated by the combined application of magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC) and subsequent sintering, and their properties were investigated. The obtained density of $Al_2O_3$ bulk prepared by the combined processes was increased with increasing MPC pressure from 0.5 to 1.25 GPa. Relatively higher hardness and fracture toughness in the MPCed specimen at 1.25 GPa were attributed to the retention of the nanostructure in the consolidated bulk without cracks. The higher fracture toughness could be attributed to the crack deflection by homogeneous distribution and the retention of nanostructure, regardless of the presence of porosities. In addition, the as consolidated $Al_2O_3$ bulk using magnetic pulsed compaction showed enhanced breakdown voltage.

$ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites were synthesized via a modified sol-gel technique by incorporating 30 and 70 wt% $TiO_2$ nanopowder into a ZnO sol-gel matrix. Zinc acetate dihydrate was used as the ZnO precursor and de-ionized water as the solvent, while titanium oxysulfate was employed for the synthesis of $TiO_2$ nanopowder. The synthesized $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites were characterized by x-ray diffraction, UV-vis spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and transmission electron microscopy. The $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites showed both the ZnO (wurtzite) and $TiO_2$ (anatase) phases. The average ZnO crystallite size of the $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites was found to be about 26.3 nm. The TEM results confirmed that spherical $TiO_2$ particles were embedded in the ZnO matrix. $TiO_2$ particles attached onto the rod-like ZnO particles were also observed. The $ZnO/TiO_2$ nanocomposites exhibited optical absorption properties superior to those of pure ZnO and $TiO_2$.

Flower-like and plate-like CuO nanopowder has been successfully synthesized using a facile microwave-assisted synthetic route. The morphology and size of the final products strongly depended on microwave power. The phase, structures and morphologies of the as-prepared products were investigated in detail by BET surface area analysis, X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). In addition, the chemical oxygen demand of polluted lake water was employed for characterization of these new photocatalysts. The results showed correlations between the morphology of CuO micro-crystals and their catalytic properties.

High-purity aluminum nitride nanopowders were synthesized using an RF induction thermal plasma instrument. Ammonia and nitrogen gases were used as sheath gas to control the reactor atmosphere. Synthesized AlN nanopowders were characterized by XRD, SEM, TEM, EDS, BET, FTIR, and N-O analyses. It was possible to synthesize high-purity AlN nanoparticles through control of the ammonia gas flow rate. However, additional process parameters such as plasma power and reactor pressure had to be controlled for the production of high-purity AlN nanopowders using nitrogen gas.

The magnetic and structural properties of FINEMET (the Hitachi product name of the Fe-Si-B-Nb-Cu alloy) nanopowder with a composition of $Fe_{73.5}Si_{13.5}B_9Nb_3Cu_1$ atomic percent were investigated after annealing, chemical etching, and mechanical milling. The primary and secondary crystallization temperatures were 523 and $550^{\circ}C$, respectively. The grain size of the particles was adjusted by annealing time. Optimally annealed particles exhibited a homogenous microstructure composed of nanometer-sized crystalline grains. The grain boundary of the annealed particles was etched preferentially by chemical etching. Chemically etched particles were broken at the grain boundary by high-energy ball milling. As a result, a nanometer-sized FINEMET powder with a uniform size of crystalline grains was fabricated.

Zn wires have been electrically exploded in methanol or distilled water using the pulsed power technologies. The nanopowders produced by the explosions have been observed by using SEM and TEM, and analyzed its phase by using EDS and XRD. The nanopowders produced in distilled water showed ZnO phase only. On the other hands, the nanopowder produced in methanol showed mixed phases with Zn and ZnO. The HR-TEM images of the nanopowders produced in methanol showed that the some particles have been coated with carbon like materials. It is considered that the carbon coatings could be depended on the positions of the particles during the plasma state formed by explosion.

In this study, partially dry transfer is investigated to solve the problem of fully dry transfer. Partially dry transfer is a method in which multiple layers of graphene are dry-transferred over a wet-transferred graphene layer. At a wavelength of 550 nm, the transmittance of the partially dry-transferred graphene is seen to be about 3% higher for each layer than that of the fully dry-transferred graphene. Furthermore, the sheet resistance of the partially dry-transferred graphene is relatively lower than that of the fully dry-transferred graphene, with the minimum sheet resistance being 179 Ω/sq. In addition, the fully dry-transferred graphene is easily damaged during the solution process, so that the performance of the organic photovoltaics (OPV) does not occur. In contrast, the best efficiency achievable for OPV using the partially dry-transferred graphene is 2.37% for 4 layers.

In this study, the fabrication of ultra fine grained Mo bulk was conducted. $MoO_3$ nanopowders were prepared by a high energy ball-milling process and then reduced at the temperature of $800^{\circ}C$ without holding time in $H_2$ atmosphere. The particle size of Mo nanopowder was ~150 nm and grain size was ~40 nm. The two-step process was employed for the sintering of Mo nanopowder to obtain fine grain size. The densification over 90% could be obtained by the two-step sintering with a grain size of less than 660 nm. For higher density, modified two-step sintering was designed. 95% of theoretical density with the grain size of 730 nm was obtained by the modified two-step sintering.

복합전기도금은 도금 중 반응성이 없는 물질을 첨가하여 도금층 내부에 함께 존재하도록 함으로써 이루어진다. 퍼멀로이는 철과 니켈의 합금을 말하는 것으로써 마모 특성과 내부식성이 우수하고 복합도금을 함으로써 도금층의 잔류응력 완화와 경도증가, 높은 투자율를 나타내기 때문에 산업 여러 분야에 응용된다. 복합도금을 통해 제품의 미세경도를 향상시킬 수 있으며 이는 제품의 수명과 연관된다. 하지만 실리카 나노분말 표면의 수산화기는 표면을 수분에 취약하게 만들고 이는 나노분말의 응집을 발생시켜 균일한 도금층의 형성을 어렵게 하는 요인이 된다. 본 연구에서는 실리카 나노분말의 zeta potential의 측정과 실리카 나노분말의 응집을 줄이기 위하여 전류밀도의 변화, 첨가제의 변화를 살펴보았다. 표면은 전류밀도 20 $mA/cm^2$에서 가장 효과적이었으며 이 때 실리카의 함량은 $50^{\circ}C$에서 9%로 확인되었다. 첨가제에 따라 표면 형상과 공석되는 실리카 나노입자의 함량 차이가 나타났다. 염기성 도금용액에서 sodium lauryl sulfate를 사용하였을 경우 표면이 매끄럽고 공석되는 실리카 나노분말의 양도 높았다.

본 연구에서는 금속와이어를 자동으로 공급할 수 있는 피딩장치와 금속와이어가 전극에 일정거리 도달하면 자발방전에 의하여 나노분말이 제조될 수 있는 챔버, 그리고 충전기 등의 장비 일체를 제작하여 연속적인 전기폭발 실험을 행하였으며, 이렇게 제조된 분말입도와 공정 중에 나타나는 펄스방전 특성과의 상호연관성을 조사하였다. 그 결과, 진동이 없는 전류 파형을 갖는 경우에 나노분말을 제조하기가 가장 적합함을 확인할 수 있었다.
