  • In the CNT paste for field emission, PbO frit had a fatal influence on CNTs by accelerating a decomposition of CNTs during firing. In the thermogravimetric analysis on the mixtures of CNTs and other ingredients, it was evident that CNTs began to burn out at ${\sim}350^{\circ}C$ by reacting with PbO. This problem was overcome by replacing the PbO frit by the Pb-free frit such that most of CNTs could survive during firing. Consequently, the emission current of the CNT paste prepared using the lead-free frit was improved as much as 250 %, compared to the PbO-containing one. The CNT paste was further optimized by adding a dispersant, whose dispersibility was assessed by measuring the resistance of the paste. With 10% dispersant added, the emission properties of the paste was greatly enhanced as 50 times higher as those of the paste without a dispersant.

  • In this study, we have developed an index suitable for determining nanotechnology competitiveness. The analytic hierarchy process is used to compared Korean nanotechnology competitiveness with nine high-ranked countries in terms of OECD GDP along with China, India, and Russia. We fund Korea to be ranked fourth among the twelve countries. Despite Korean high rank, it has some problems with regard to infrastructure and industry development. To become a leading country in nanotechnology, Korea needs to strategically invest into research capabilities for nanotechnology, support industry convergence based on nanotechnology, and increase investment into infrastructure development. The findings of this study will contribute to enhancing nanotechnology-related policies and research.

  • Nanotechnology(NT) refers to a field of advanced micro-technology covering the creation and manufacturing of materials on the atomic and molecular scale and requires interdisciplinary study with various fields including materials science, physics, chemistry, electronics and others. Whileas nanotechnology is a kind of micro and small scaled science, space technology(ST) is one of the larger and system technologies utilizing broad fields of mechanical, materials, electronics and communication technologies. It is necessary to select and concentrate the functional items of nanotechnology for efficient application to be utilized in space technology, due to the cross-sectional characteristics of nanotechnology within nanomaterials, nanoelectronics, and nanomanufacturing. This paper provides the current state of art of nanotechnology in space technology by evaluating NASA's activities and the 9th frame of the project ANTARES(Analysis of Nanotechnology Applications in Space Developments and Systems) with the support of the German Aerospace Center (DLR), Space Flight Management, Division Technology for Space Systems and Robotics. It has shown that it is necessary to apply nanotechnology to space technology in order to achieve international competitiveness, for the nanotechnology can bring the previously impossible things to reality. Since KARI plans to send an unmanned probe to the moon's orbit and land a probe on the moon's surface in 2025, it is urgently needed to incorporate nanotechnology to national space development plan.

  • Nanotechnology for cancer therapy is playing a pivotal role in dramatically improving current approaches to cancer detection, diagnosis, and therapy while reducing toxic side effects associated with previous cancer therapy. A widespread understanding of these new technologies will lead to develop the more refined design of optimized nanoparticles with improved selectivity, efficacy and safety in the clinical practice of oncology. This review provides an integrated overview of applications and advances of nanotechnology in cancer therapy, based on molecular diagnostics, treatment, monitoring, target drug delivery, approved nanoparticle-based chemotherapeutic agents, and current clinical trials in the development of nanomedicine and ultimately personalized medicine.
