The use of electromagnetic wave has been interested in various energy industry because it enhances a flame stability and provides higher safety environments. However it might increase the pollutant emissions such as NOx and soot, and have harmful influence on human and environments. Therefore, it is very important to understand interaction mechanism between flame and electromagnetic wave from environmental point of view. In this study, an experiment was performed with jet diffusion flames induced by electromagnetic wave. Microwave was used as representative electromagnetic wave and a flickering flame was introduced to simulate the more similar combustion condition to industry. The results show that the induced microwave enhances the flame stability and blowout limit. The unstable lifted flickering flames under low fuel/oxidizer velocity is changed to stable attached flames or lift-off flames when microwave applied to the flames, which results from the abundance of radical pool. However, NOx emission was increased monotonically with increasing the microwave power as microwave power increased up to 1.0 kW. The effects might be attributed to the heating of combustion field and thermal NOx mechanism will be prevailed. Soot particle was examined at the post flame region by TEM grid. The morphology of soot particle sampled in the microwave induced flames was similar to the incipient soot that is not agglomerated and contain a lots of liquid phase hydrocarbon such as PAH, which soot particle formed near reaction zone is oxidized on the extended yellow flame region and hence only unburned young particles are emitted on the post flame region.

Cu/carbon nano-particle hybrids were fabricated through the cathodic electrophoretic deposition (EPD) process. CNT and CNF nano-particles were modified to give positive charges by polyethyleneimine (PEI) treatment before depositing them on the substrate. Since a Cu plate was used as an anode in the EPD process, Cu particles were also deposited along with the carbon nano-particles. Experimental observation showed the nano-hybrids constructed a novel formicary-like nano-structure which is strong and highly conductive. Utilizing the hybrids, carbon fiber composites were manufactured, and their electrical conductivity and interlaminar shear strength were measured. In addition, the deposition morphology and failure surface were examined by SEM observations. Results demonstrated that the electrical conductivities in the through-the-thickness direction and the interlaminar shear strength significantly increased by 350~2100% and 14%, respectively.

In this research, we proceeded with research on plasma resistance of the cleaning process of APS(Atmospheric Plasma Spray)-Y₂O₃ coated parts used for semiconductor and display plasma process equipment. CF₄, O₂, and Ar mixed gas were used for the plasma environment, and respective alconox, surfactant, and piranha solution was used for the cleaning process. After APS-Y₂O₃ was exposed to CF₄ plasma, the surface changed from Y₂O₃ to YF₃ and a large amount of carbon was deposited. For this reason, the plasma corrosion resistance was lowered and contamination particles were generated. We performed a cleaning process to remove the defect-inducing surface YF₃ layer and carbon layer. Among three cleaning solutions, the piranha cleaning process had the highest detergency and the alconox cleaning process had the lowest detergency. Such results could be confirmed through the etching amount, morphology, composition, and accumulated contamination particle analysis results. Piranha cleaning process showed the highest detergency, but due to the very large thickness reduction, the base metal was exposed and a large number of contaminated particles were generated. In contrast, the surfactant cleaning process exhibit excellent properties in terms of surface detergency, etching amount, and accumulated contamination particle analysis.

500 mL 교반탱크반응기 내에서 $AlCl_3$ 증기를 $H_2O$ 증기에 의해 부분 가수분해시켜 30~200 nm 크기의 $AlO_xCl_y(OH)_z$로 표시되는 구형의 알루미나 전구체 입자를 제조하였다. 반응시간, 교반속도, 반응온도가 생성된 입자의 형상, 크기 등에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 반응시간을 20, 60, 300 s로 변화시킨 결과 생성 입자의 형상 및 크기에 별다른 차이가 없었으며, 교반속도를 0, 300, 800 rpm으로 변화시킨 결과 0 rpm에서 입자의 크기가 최대값을 보였고, 반응온도를 180, 190, 200, $240^{\circ}C$로 변화시킨 결과 $190^{\circ}C$에서 제조된 입자의 크기가 가장 작게 나타났다. 가수분해 생성물 입자를 $10^{\circ}C$/min의 속도로 $1,200^{\circ}C$까지 가열하고 6 시간동안 하소시켜 45 nm 크기의 ${\alpha}$ 알루미나 입자를 얻었다. 하소과정에서 인접입자 사이의 소결에 의해 입자 형상이 구형에서 벌레모양으로 변환되었다. 하소온도를 $1,400^{\circ}C$로, 승온속도를 $50^{\circ}C$/min 로 증가시키고, 유지시간을 0.5 시간으로 감소시켜 급속 하소시킴으로써 인접입자의 소결을 상당히 감소시킬 수 있었다. $AlCl_3$의 가수분해 과정에서 소량의 $SiCl_4$ 또는 TMCTS(2,4,6,8-tetramethylcylosiloxane) 첨가에 의해 인접입자의 소결 방지 효과가 나타났으나, ${\alpha}$ 결정 이외에 ${\gamma}$ 결정, mullite 결정 등이 함께 생성되었다. 하소과정에서 $AlF_3$를 첨가한 결과 육각형 디스크 형상의 ${\alpha}$ 알루미나 입자가 생성되었다.

This study was aimed to thoroughly estimate the characteristics of indoor particulate matter (PM) collected on subway platforms by the cooperative approach of semi-bulk and single particle analyses. The size-resolved PM and its number concentration were measured on the platform in a heavily traveled subway station in Fukuoka, Japan. Particle Induced X-ray Emission (PIXE) and micro-PIXE techniques were applied to the chemical analyses of semi-bulk and single particle, respectively. There was the close resemblance of timely fluctuation between PM number concentration and train service on the third basement floor (B3F) platform compared to the second basement floor (B2F) and its maximum level was marked in rush hour. Higher number counts in large particles ($>1{\mu}m$) and lower number counts in fine particles ($<1{\mu}m$) were shown on the platform compared to an above ground. PM2.5 accounted for 58.2% and 38.2 % of TSP on B3F and on B2F, respectively. The elements that were ranked at high concentration in size-resolved semi-bulk PM were Fe, Si, Ca, S, and Na. The major elements tending to have more elevated levels on B3F than B2F were Fe (4.4 times), Ca (17.3 times), and Si (46.4 times). Although concentrations were very low, Cr ($11.9ng\;m^{-3}$ on B3F, $2.4ng\;m^{-3}$ on B2F), Mn ($3.4ng\;m^{-3}$ on B3F, $0.9ng\;m^{-3}$ on B2F), and Pb ($0.6ng\;m^{-3}$ on B3F, $1.6ng\;m^{-3}$ on B2F) were detected from PM2.5. Individual PM was nearly all enriched in Fe with Si and Ca. Classifying and source profiling of the individual particles by elemental maps and particle morphology were tried and particles were presumably divided into four groups (i.e., train/rail friction, train-rail sparking, ballast/abrasive, and cement).

일반적으로 결정은 계면에 따라 그 성장속도가 다르기 때문에 계면의 성장을 제어함으로써 다양한 형태의 결정입자를 얻는 것이 가능하다. 알루미나의 경우 산업적 이용범위가 다양해지고 있어, 다양한 크기 또는 종횡비가 다른 다양한 형상의 분말이 요구되기도 한다. 용융염(molten-salt)을 이용하여 세라믹 입자를 성장시킬 경우, $800{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 용융되는 salt의 조건을 변화함으로써 세라믹 입자의 결정 성장 방향을 제어할 수 있는데, 알루미나의 경우 주로 판상형으로 입자가 성장하게 되며, 이때 salt의 ionic strength에 따라 판상형으로 성장하는 결정의 성장 속도를 제어하는 것이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 NaCl, $Na_2SO_4$, $Na_3PO_4$를 이용하여 ionic strength가 다른 다양한 salt 조건에서 알루미나 입자를 성장시켰으며, 이들이 알루미나 결정 성장에 미치는 영향과 온도, 농도 변화에 따라 형성되는 알루미나의 크기 및 형상의 변화에 관하여 연구하였다.

Objectives: The purpose of this case study is to assess workers' exposure to carbon nanotubes(CNTs) and characterize particles aerosolized during the process of producing CNT-enabled polytetrafuoroethylene(PTFE) composites at a worksite in Korea. Methods: Personal breathing zone and area samples were collected for determining respirable concentrations of elemental carbon(EC) using NIOSH(National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health) Method 5040. Personal exposure to nano-sized particles was measured as the number concentration and mean diameter using personal ultrafine particle monitors. The number concentration by particle size was measured using optical particle sizers(OPS) and scanning mobility particle sizers(SMPS). Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) area samples were collected on TEM grids and analyzed to characterize the size, morphology, and chemistry of the particles. Results: Respirable EC concentrations ranged from 0.04 to 0.24 ㎍/㎥, which were below 23% of the exposure limit recommended by NIOSH and lower than background concentrations. Number concentrations by particle size measured using OPS and SMPS were not noticeably elevated during CNT-PTFE composite work. Instant increase of number concentrations of nano-sized particles was observed during manual sanding of CNT-PTFE composites. Both number concentrations and mean diameters did not show a statistically significant difference between workers handing CNT-added and not-added materials. TEM analyses revealed the emission of free-standing CNTs and CNT-PTFE aggregate particles from the powder supply task and composite particles embedded with CNTs from the computer numerical control(CNC) machining task with more than tens of micrometers in diameter. No free-standing CNT particles were observed from the CNC machining task. Conclusions: Significant worker exposure to respirable CNTs was not found, but the aerosolization of CNTs and CNT-embedded composite particles were observed during handing of CNT-PTFE powders and CNC machining of CNT-PTFE composites. Considering the limited knowledge on the toxicity of CNTs and CNT composite particles to date, it seems prudent to take a precautionary approach for the protection of workers' health.

입자크기 감소에 의한 약물의 표면적 증가는 불용성 약물의 생체이용률 즉, 약물의 흡수량과 속도를 향상시켜 주는 효과적인 방법으로 알려져 있다. 그 동안 약물 나노제제 공정 동안 약물 나노입자가 응집되는 것을 방지하기 위한 안정제 또는 분산제로서 한정된 수의 부형제만 사용되어 공정의 개선에 제약이 되었다. 본 연구에서는 N-카복시안하이드라이드 단량체의 개환 중합으로 합성한 소수성과 친수성을 가진 아미노산 공중합체가 불용성 약물인 나프록센 나노입자를 안정화시키기 위한 새로운 물질로서 사용되었다. 합성된 아미노산 공중합체로 안정화된 나프록센 나노입자는 60분간 습식 분쇄 공정에 의해 $200\~500nm$의 크기로 제조되었고, 공중합체의 소수성 부분이 적어도 $10 mol\%$ 이상이어야 효과적인 크기 감소를 볼 수 있으며, 공중합체의 모폴로지와 분자량은 입자 크기 감소를 결정하는 중요 요소가 아니었다. 또한 제조된 약물 나노입자 크기는 눈에 띄는 응집없이 14일까지 안정한 것을 알 수 있었다.

As a case study on yttria stabilized zirconia ceramics, the sintering characteristics of submicron powders and the granulation prepared by two-fluid spray drying of submicron particles were investigated. As-received powders of yttria stabilized zirconia particles were reduced to a uniform size of less than about 200 nm by repeated milling. Granulation size obtained by the two-fluid spray drying was affected by the organic matter and the primary particle size. Sintering behavior such as porosity, water absorption ratio, density, and transparency was influenced by processing conditions of the powder, and the discontinuous interfaces in a green body were reduced.
