Au doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles have been synthesized using a reverse micelle technique combined with metal alkoxide hydrolysis and condensation. Au doped $TiO_2$ was coated with glass substrate. The size of the particles and thickness of the coating can be controlled by manipulating the relative rates of the hydrolysis and condensation reaction of TTIP within the micro-emulsion. The average size of synthesized Au doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticle was about in the size range of 15 to 25 nm and the Au particles formed mainly the range of 2 to 10 nm in diameter. The effect of synthesis parameters, such as the molar ratio of water to TTIP and the molar ratio of water to surfactant, are discussed. The synthesized nanopaticles were coated on glass substrate by a spin coating process. The thickness of thin film was about 80 nm. The degradation of MB on a $TiO_2$ thin film was enhanced over 20 % efficiency by the incorporation of Au.

This study evaporates TiO$_2$ layer thickness differently with RF sputtering method on Si Wafer(n-100). Thin film is made with the structure of Si+TiO$_2$ and Si+TiO$_2$+Al by evaporating TiN which is used as Antireflection of superintegrated semiconductor integrated circuit with Photo Catalyst. The research is performed to increase the characteristics of photon energy according to TiO$_2$ thickness and the reliability and reproducibility of TiO$_2$ thin film. Reversal of electric Permittivity values is induced by dipole polarization shown in the dielectric of thin film. Complex electric constant ($\varepsilon$$_1$, $\varepsilon$$_2$) has larger peak values as it's thickness is thinner and then it is larger according to the increase of frequency. Electric Permittivity by photon energy has large value in imaginary number and is reduced exponentially by the increase of carrier density according to that of photon energy.

Statement of problem. Proliferation of Candida albicans is primarily within the plaque on the fitting surface of the denture rather than on the inflamed mucosa. Consequently, the treatment of the denture is equally important as treatment of the tissue. Cleansing and disinfection should be efficiently carried-out as the organisms can penetrate into the voids of the acrylic resin and grow in them, from which they can continue to infect and reinfect bearing tissues. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the applicability of photocatalytic reaction to eliminate Candida albicans from acrylic resin denture base, and to investigate the anti-fungal effect with various UVA illumination time. Materials and Methods. The specimens were cured by the conventional method following the manufacturer's instruction using thermal polymerized denture base resin (Vertex RS: Dentimex, Netherlands). $TiO_2$ photocatalyst sol(LT), which is able to be coated at normal temperature, was made from the Ti-alkoxide progenitor. The XRD patterns, TEM images and nitrogen absorption ability of the $TiO_2$ photocatalyst sol(LT) were compared with the commercial $TiO_2$ photocatalyst P-25. The experimental specimens were coated with the mixture of the $TiO_2$ photocatalyst sol(LT) and binder material (silane) using dip-coater, and uncoated resin plates were used as the control group. Crystallinity of $TiO_2$ of the specimen was tested by the XRD. Size, shape and chemical compositions were also analyzed using the FE-SEM/ EDS. The angle and methylene blue degradation efsciency were measured for evaluating the photocatalytic activity of the $TiO_2$ film. Finally, the antifungal activity of the specimen was tested. Candida albicans KCTC 7629(1 ml, initial concentration $10^5$ cells/ ml) were applied to the experiment and control group specimens and subsequently two UVA light source with 10W, 353 nm peak emission were illuminated to the specimens from 15cm above. The extracted $2{\mu}l$ of sample was plated on nutrient agar plate ($Bacto^{TM}$ Brain Heart Infusion; BD, USA) with 10 minute intervals for 120 minute, respectively. It was incubated for 24 hours at $37^{\circ}C$ and the colony forming units (CFUs) were then counted. Results. Compared the characteristics of LT photocatalyst with commercial P-25 photocatalyst, LT were shown higher activity than P-25. The LT coated experimental specimen surface had anatase crystal form, less than 20 nm of particle size and wide specific surface area. To evaluate the photocatalytic activity of specimens, methylene blue degradation reaction were used and about 5% of degradation rate were measured after 2 hours. The average contact angle was less than $20^{\circ}$ indicating that the LT photocatalyst had hydrophilicity. In the antifungal activity test for Candida albicans, 0% survival rate were measured within 30 minute after irradiation of UVA light. Conclusion. From the results reported above, it is concluded that the UVA-LT photocatalytic reaction have an antifungal effect on the denture surface Candida albicans, and so that could be applicable to the clinical use as a cleaning method.

티타늄 나프테네이트를 출발 원료로 사용하고 스핀코팅-열분해법을 이용하여 소다-라임-실리카 슬라이드 유리기판 위에 $TiO_2$ 박막을 제조하였다. 도포된 박막은 $500^{\circ}C$로 10분간 공기분위기에서 전열처리를 행하였고, 최종 열처리는 500, 550과 $600^{\circ}C$로 30분간 공기분위기에서 각각 행하였다. X-선 회절분석법을 이용하여 박막의 결정화도를 조사하였고, 전계 방출 주사형 전자 현미경과 원자간력 현미경을 이용하여 $TiO_2$ 박막의 표면미세구조와 표면 거칠기를 조사하였다. 550 과 $600^{\circ}C$로 최종 열처리한 박막의 X-선 회절분석 결과, 아나타제 상만이 존재하였다. 500과 $550^{\circ}C$로 열처리한 박막의 표면은 균질하였으나, 열처리온도가 $600^{\circ}C$로 증가함에 따라서, 박막의 표면에는 바늘모양의 상이 3차원적으로 성장하였다. 모든 박막에 있어서 가시영역에서의 투과율은 500nm에서 90% 이상의 높은 값을 나타냈다. 박막의 광촉매특성을 조사하기 위하여 stearic acid가 코팅된 박막에 365nm 파장의 UV를 2.4mW/$\textrm{cm}^2$의 강도로 조사하여 C-H모드에 대한 IR 흡수단의 변화를 관찰하였다.

$TiO_2$ thin films consisting of positively charged poly(diallyldimethylammonium chloride)(PDDA) and negatively charged titanium(IV) bis(ammonium lactato) dihydroxide(TALH) were successfully fabricated on glass beads by a layer-by-layer(LBL) self-assembly method. The glass beads used here showed a positive charge in an acid range and negative charge in an alkaline range. The glass beads coated with the coating sequence of(PDDA/TALH)n showed a change in the surface morphology as a function of the number of bilayers. When the number of bilayers(n) of the(PDDA/TALH) thin film was 20, Ti element was observed on the surface of the coated glass beads. The thin films coated onto the glass beads had a main peak of the (101) crystal face and were highly crystallized with XRD diffraction peaks of anatase-type $TiO_2$ according to an XRD analysis. In addition, the $TiO_2$ thin films showed photocatalytic properties such that they could decompose a methyl orange solution under illumination with UV light. As the number of bilayers of the(PDDA/TALH) thin film increased, the photocatalytic property of the $TiO_2$-coated glass beads increased with the increase in the thin film thickness. The surface morphologies and optical properties of glass beads coated with $TiO_2$ thin films with different coating numbers were measured by field emission scanning electron microscopy(FE-SEM), X-ray diffraction(XRD) and by UV-Vis spectrophotometry(UV-vis).

We aim in synthesizing various functional thin films thinner than ~ 10 nm for environmental applications and photovoltaic devices. Atomic layer deposition is used for synthesizing inorganic thin films with a precise control of the film thickness. Several examples about application of our thin films for removing volatile organic compounds (VOC) will be highlighted, which are summarized in the below. 1) $TiO_2$ thin films prepared by ALD at low temperature ($<100^{\circ}C$) show high adsorption capacity for toluene. In combination with nanostructured templates, $TiO_2$ thin films can be used as building-block of high-performing VOC filter. 2) $TiO_2$ thin films on carbon fibers and nanodiamonds annealed at high temperatures are active for photocatalytic oxidation of VOCs, i.e. photocatalytic filter can be created by atomic layer deposition. 3) NiO can catalyze oxidation of toluene to $CO_2$ and $H_2O$ at $<300^{\circ}C$. $TiO_2$ thin films on NiO can reduce poisoning of NiO surfaces by reaction intermediates below $200^{\circ}C$. We also fabricated inverted organic solar cell based on ZnO electron collecting layers on ITO. $TiO_2$ thin films with a mean diameter less than 3 nm on ZnO can enhance photovoltaic performance by reducing electron-hole recombination on ZnO surfaces.

Chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) is a hybrid surface-polishing process that utilizes both mechanical and chemical energy. However, the recently emerging semiconductor substrate and thin film materials are challenging to process using the existing CMP. Therefore, previous researchers have conducted studies to increase the material removal rate (MRR) of CMP. Most materials studied to improve MRR have high hardness and chemical stability. Methods for enhancing the material removal efficiency of CMP include additional provision of electric, thermal, light, mechanical, and chemical energies. This study aims to introduce research trends on CMP using ultraviolet (UV) light to these methods to improve the material removal efficiency of CMP. This method, photocatalysis-assisted chemical mechanical polishing (PCMP), utilizes photocatalytic oxidation using UV light. In this study, the target materials of the PCMP application include SiC, GaN, GaAs, and Ru. This study explains the photocatalytic reaction, which is the basic principle of PCMP, and reviews studies on PCMP according to materials. Additionally, the researchers classified the PCMP system used in existing studies and presented the course for further investigation of PCMP. This study aims to aid in understanding PCMP and set the direction of future research. Lastly, since there have not been many studies on the tribology characteristics in PCMP, research on this is expected to be required.

Tris (2-methyl-1-aziridinyl) phosphine oxide (MAPO) is extremely poisonous and persistent in aqueous media. An efficient UV/nano$TiO_2$ process was employed for its mineralization in a high duty falling film photo-reactor based on an experimental design scheme that considers interactions between the main variables. The influencing variables and their range were determined with preliminary studies. The results show substrate mineralization to some extent under mild conditions of: T = $30^{\circ}C$, pH = 8.5, $[MAPO]_0=60\;mg\;L^{-1}$ and $[TiO_2]=110\;mg\;L^{-1}$. The relative importance of the influencing parameters were initial pH > temperature > $[MAPO]_0$ > [$TiO_2$]; while the interdependence of all the parameters was significant. Accordingly, a reduced quadratic expression was developed. Meanwhile, mineralization kinetic studies, based on chemical oxygen demand, revealed a power law model with order of 2.6 during process time until 150 min.

TiO₂ 졸을 사용하여 유리알 표면에 TiO₂ 코팅한 후 건조 처리한 시료(TB)와 소성한 시료(TBc)를 제조하였다. 이들 시료에 대한 TiO₂ 박막의 특성분석과 메틸렌블루 및 톨루엔의 광분해 실험을 수행하였다. FE-SEM, XPS 및 FTIR 분석 결과, TB 시료의 TiO₂ 박막은 스펀지 폼과 같은 형태이며 무정형 TiO₂와 일부 결정형 TiO₂가 존재하였다. TBc 시료의 TiO₂ 박막에는 결정형 TiO₂가 주로 존재하며 침상형 입자와 미세 입자들이 혼재하였다. TBc 시료(46 mg/g)의 톨루엔 흡착량은 같은 코팅량의 TB 시료 대비 적었으나 톨루엔 분해율은 비슷했다. TB 시료의 경우, TiO₂ 코팅량이 증가함에 따라 톨루엔 분해능이 흡착능에 비해 적게 감소하였다. 이러한 결과는 소성하지 않은 TB 시료는 TiO₂ 코팅량이 증가하면 무정형 텍스처의 비표면적은 감소하는 반면 결정성 입자들의 활성점 감소는 적게 일어나기 때문으로 판단된다.
