  • TiC core/(Ti,Mo)C rim structure in TiC-$Mo_2C$-Ni base cermet which is generally prepared by sintering below 145$0^{\circ}C$ had been believed to be generated by the solid diffusion of Mo atoms 1 into TiC grains (D. Moskowitz and M.Humenik, 1r.:1966). Afterward, it was clarified that the c core/rim structure is generated by solution/re-precipitation mechanism : (1) $Mo_2C$ grains and s small TiC grains dissolve into the Ni liquid, (2) the dissolved Mo, Ti and C atoms migrate to the s surface of TiC coarse grains, (3) the Mo, Ti and C precipitate on the surface of TiC coarse g grains and form (Ti,Mo)C solid solution rim, and (4) the Ostwald ripening (grain growth by s solution/re-precipitation mechanism) of TiC-core/(Ti,Mo)-rim grains continues, and thus the w width of (Ti,Mo)C rim (at the same time, the grain size) increases with sintering time, etc. ( (H.Suzuki, K.Hayashi and O.Terada: 1973). The TiC-core was found not to disappear even by s sintering at 190$0^{\circ}C$ (ibid.: 1974) Recently, FeSi core/$Fe_2Si_5$-rim structure in Fe-66.7at%Si thermoelectric aIloy was found to also h hardly shrink and disappear by long heating at an appropriate temperature (1999: M.Tajima and K K.hayashD. Then, the authors considered its cause, and clarified experimentaIly that the disappearance of FeSi-core/$Fe_2Ski_5$-rim structure could be attributed to the exhaustion of diffusion-contributable vacancies in core/rim structure (N.Taniguchi and K.Hayashi:2001). At p present, the authors and my coworker are investigating whether the non-disappearance of TiC c core can be explained also from the new hypothesis "Exhaustion of diffusion-contributable v vacancies in corelrim structure".ure".uot;.

  • 다공성 실리카 게 분말은 저밀도, 고비표면적의 특성을 가지며 물리적, 화학적 성질이 우수하여 필름의 점착방지제, 페인트의 소광제, 맥주의 흡착제, 촉매의 담지체등 산업전반에 걸쳐 여러용도로 사용되고 있다. 이러한 다공성 실리카 겔 분말은 고상법, 기상법, 액상법등으로 제조할 수 있으며, 이 중에서 sodium silicate를 원료로 하는 액상공정은 다공성의 제어가 용이하고, 공정이 간단하며, 고순도의 균질한 실리카를 얻을 수 있는 방법으로 많이 사용되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 액상법(sol-gel method)를 사용하여 점착방지제, 소광제 등으로 사용되는 다공성 실리카 겔 미분말의 개발에 초점을 두어 연구하였다. 그리고, 겔 분말의 다공성 제어를 위하여 공정 각 단계에서의 겔 내부의 구조의 변화에 대한 연구와 함께 수화겔의 숙성이 기공특성에 미치는 영향, 건조조건의 기공특성에 대한 영향 등을 살펴보았다. 다공성 실리카 겔 미분말은 다음과 같은 공정에 의해 제조되었다. sodium silicate를 황산과 반응시켜 겔화하고 추가의 황산을 투입하여 미반응분의 Na를 제거한 후 pH 7이상의 알카리 영역에서 숙성하여 다공성을 지닌 실리카 수화겔을 제조하였다. 수화겔의 탈수, 세척, 건조 공정을 거쳐 건조겔을 제조하고, 1-20$\mu\textrm{m}$의 크기로 분쇄하여 최종 제품을 얻을 수 있었다. 최종 다공성 실리카 겔 분말은 비표면적 200-700$m^2$/g, 기공부피 0.5-2.5cc/g, 평균 입경 3-5$\mu\textrm{m}$, 백색도 95% 이상의 물성을 보였다. sodium silicate와 황산의 겔화 반응에 의해 생성된 수화겔은 수 nm크기의 일차입자들의 연속적인 network로이루어져 있으며, 일차입자크기가 너무 작기 때문에 내부의 기공들은 별로 존재하지 않는 상태이다. 2차 주가황산 투입에 의해 미반응의 알카리 이온들을 중화, 제거시킬 수 있으며, 겔의 다공성을 좌우하는 숙성단계에서 숙성 pH, 온도, 시간등의 인자에 의해 수화겔의 기공특성을 제어할 수 있다. pH 7이상에서 실리카의 용해도가 크고, 용해도의 입자크기 의존성이 크므로, 일자입자는 Ostwald-ripening에 의해 계속 성장할 수 있으며, 이때, 입자의 성장은 숙성 온도와 시간에 의존한다. 탈수, 세척공정에 의해 가용성 염인 Na2SO4를 제거하고, 건조조건을 변화시킴으로써 기공부피를 증가시키는 것이 가능하였으며, Fast drying을 사용하여 점착방지제에 적합한 기공부피를 갖는 실리카 건조겔을 제조할 수 있었다.

  • In this study, low viscous O/W (oil-in-water) nano-emulsion with fatty acid and fatty alcohol was prepared by phase inversion emulsification method using Tween 80 and Span 80 widely used in cosmetic products. The particle size of the nano-emulsion was increased as increasing the concentration of fatty alcohol in oil phase. Adjusting the HLB of mixed surfactants, a stable nano-emulsion with a narrow size distribution was produced. Similar change in viscosity and electrical conductivity in both systems containing fatty acid and fatty alcohol was shown in the vicinity of the phase inversion point. However, high viscosity was shown in a wide range of different aqueous fraction unlike the system consisting only oils and surfactants. The low viscous nano-emulsion with less than 100 nm droplet size was stable for one month or more at room temperature. O/W nano-emulsions with low viscosity containing fatty acid or fatty alcohol produced by low-energy emulsification method can be widely used as formulations of cosmetics.

  • Porous ceramics are promising materials for a number of functional and structural applications that include thermal insulation, filters, bio-scaffolds for tissue engineering, and preforms for composite fabrication. These applications take advantage of the special characteristics of porous ceramics, such as low thermal mass, low thermal conductivity, high surface area, controlled permeability, and low density. In this review, we emphasize the direct foaming method, a simple and versatile approach that allows the fabrication of porous ceramics with tailored microstructure, along with distinctive properties. The wet foam stability is achieved under the controlled addition of amphiphiles to the colloidal suspension, which induce in situ hydrophobization, allowing the wet foam to resist coarsening and Ostwald ripening upon drying and sintering. Different components, like contact angle, adsorption free energy, air content, bubble size, and Laplace pressure, play vital roles in the stabilization of the particle stabilized wet foam to the porous ceramics. The mechanical behavior of the load-displacements curves of sintered samples was investigated using Herzian indentations testes. From the collected results, we found that microporous structures with pore sizes from 30 ㎛ to 570 ㎛ and the porosity within the range from 70% to 85%.

  • This review describes several kinds of emulsification methods for nanoemulsions and the application of nanoemulsions. Nanoemulsion droplet sizes fall typically in the range of 20 ~200 nm and show narrow size distributions. Although most of the publications on either oil-in-water (O/W) or water-in-oil (W/O) nanoemulsions have reported their formation by dispersion or high-energy emulsification methods, an increased interest is observed in the study of nano-emulsion formation by condensation or low-energy emulsification methods based on the phase transitions that take place during the emulsification process. Phase behaviour studies have shown that the size of the droplets is governed by the surfactant phase structure (bicontinuous microemulsion or lamellar) at the inversion point induced by either temperature or composition. Studies on nanoemulsion formation by the phase inversion temperature (PIT) method have shown a relation between minimum droplet size and complete solubilization of the oil in a microemulsion bicontinuous phase independently of whether the initial phase equilibrium is single or multiphase. Due to their small droplet size nanoemulsions possess stability against sedimentation or creaming with Ostwald ripening forming the main mechanism of nanoemulsion breakdown. An application of nanoemulsions is the preparation of nanoparticles using a polymerizable monomer as the disperse phase where nanoemulsion droplets act as nanoreactors, cosmetics and controlled drug delivery. In this review, we mainly focus on the cosmetics.
