  • The emergence of new infectious diseases, the resurgence of several infections that appeared to have been controlled and the increase in bacterial resistance have created the necessity for studies directed towards the development of new antimicrobials. In the present study, we have synthesized a novel antioxidant ZnO nanoparticle that is newly designed and prepared by simple surface modification process. Antioxidative functionality is provided by the immobilization of antioxidant 3-(3,4-dihydroxyphenyl)-2-propenoic acid (caffeic acid, CA) onto the surface of ZnO nanoparticles. Microstructure and physical properties of the ZnO@CA nanoparticles were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and steady state spectroscopic methods. Antimicrobial Activities of ZnO@CA nanoparticles were measured against various bacterial strains using antibacterial testing methods.

  • In this study, we report a novel antioxidant ZnO nanoparticle that is newly designed and prepared by simple surface modification process. Antioxidative functionality is provided by the immobilization of antioxidant of 3,4,5-trihydroxybenzoic acid (galic acid, GA) onto the surface of ZnO nanoparticles. Microstructure and physical properties of the ZnO@GA nanoparticles were investigated by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), infrared spectroscopy (IR) and steady state spectroscopic methods. The antioxidative activity of ZnO@GA was also evaluated using ABTS (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) radical cation decolorization assay. Notably, ZnO@GA showed strong antioxidative activity in spite of the conjugation process of GA on the ZnO surface. These results provide that GA-coating onto ZnO nanoparticles may offer an intriguing potential for biomedical devices as well as nanomaterials.

  • Graphene is a most interesting material due to its unique and outstanding properties. However, semi-metallic properties of graphene along with zero bandgap energy structure limit further application to optoelectronic devices. Recently, many researchers have shown that band gap can be induced in the Bernal stacked bilayer graphene. Several methods have been used for the controlled growth of the Bernal staked bilayer graphene, but it is still challenging to control the growth process. In this paper, we synthesize the large area Bernal stacked bilayer graphene using multi heating zone low pressure chemical vapor deposition (LPCVD). The synthesized bilayer graphenes are characterized by Raman spectroscopy, optical microscope (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM). High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) is used for the observation of atomic resolution image of the graphene layers.

  • Carbon nanotubes (CNT) were synthesized by arc-discharge method. To fabricate CNT sensor, CNT powder was dispersed in ${\alpha}$-Terpinol($C_{10}H_{17}OH$) solution. The CNT tilms were fabricated by screen printing method on the interdigitated Pt/Pd alloy electrode. The microstructure of CNT film was observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). In order to investigate the gas sensing characteristics of the film, the CNT film was experimented to measure NO response and recovery time. The CNT sensor with a heater was compared to that without a heater. And this sensor shows better reproductibility and faster recovery time than another CNT sensors. We suggest the possibility to utilize a CNT as new sensing materials for environmental monitoring.

  • In this study, chlorine(Cl)-based gas chemistry is generally used to etching for AlCu films metallization.The corrosion phenomena of AlCu films were examined with XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), SEM 9Scanning electron microscopy), and TEM (Transmission electron microscopy). SF$_{6}$ plasma treatment sulbsequent to the etching process preventas the corrosion effectively in the pressure of 300 mTorr. It is found that the cholrine atoms on the etched surface are not substituted for fluorine atoms during SF$_{6}$ treatment, but a passivation layer on the surface by fluorine-related compounds would be formed. The passivation layer prevents the moisture penetration on the SF$_{6}$ treated surface and suppresses the corrsion sucessfully.fully.

  • Pt/Nafion self-humidifying membranes for Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell(PEMFC) were synthesized via supercritical-impregnation methods. The Nafion 112 membranes were impregnated with Pt(II)$(acetylacetonate)_2$ from a supercritical carbon dioxide $(scCO_2)$ solution at $80^{\circ}C$ and 30MPa. After the impregnation, the pressure decreased slowly by releasing $CO_2$. And the Pt-impregnated Nafion membrane was converted Pt deposited Nafion membrane by reducing agent, sodium borohydride $(NaBH_4)$ with various concentrations under $50^{\circ}C$ and 2 hours. The prepared Pt-impregnated Nafion (Pt/Nafion) composite membrane were investigated by Electron Prove Micro analysis (EPMA) and X-rat Diffraction analysis (XRD) which showed distribution of Pt particle and Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM) a which revealed morphology of surface of Pt/Nafion composite membrane. The performance of the Pt/Nafion 112 membranes was examined in PEMFC as aself-humidifyin membranes using purpose-built equipment.

  • Five sandwiched multilayers consisting of PBT(Polybutyleneterephthalate), PS(Polystyrene) and clay were prepared to investigate the migration mechanism of clay in the polymer blend system. Rheometry (RMS800) was used to apply well-defined shear on the above multilayer samples in order to well understand dominant factors controlling the migration. Applied shear force was enough to move clay tactoids to the interface, if either long time or high shear was available, but it was not sufficient to separate into individual platelets of clay. The morphology evolution was subsequently studied in term of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and high resolution transmission electron microscopy (HR-TEM), respectively.

  • Ceramics based on CaTiO₃-NdAlO₃ solid solutions were synthesized in order to study their dielectric microwave properties. Microstructural analysis was performed with scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) using different analytical methods such as energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDXS). It was observed that the heating conditions during sintering and cooling strongly affect the microstructural development of CaTiO₃-NdAlO₃-based ceramics. Various types and concentrations of structural defects were identified, for example, dislocations, twins and/or antiphase boundaries. all such defects resulted in a degradation of the dielectric microwave properties, in particular the quality factor Q. Dielectric properties of CaTiO₃-NdAlO₃-based ceramics can be improved by an appropriate thermal treatment of ceramics which results in a decrease in the concentrations of the identified microstructural defects.

  • We examined the photo catalytic activity and catalytic recyclability of CdSe/graphene nanocomposites fabricated via modified hydrothermal technique. The prepared composites were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Raman spectroscopic analysis, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The photocatalytic behavior was investigated through decomposition of RBB as a standard dye under visible light radiation. Our results indicate that there is significant potential for graphene based semiconductor hybrids materials to be used as photocatalysts under visible light irradiation for the degradation of organic dyes from industry effluents.

  • In this study, novel $Ag_2Se$ sensitized $TiO_2$ nanocomposites were prepared by facile sonochemical assisted synthesis method. The as-prepared products were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) with energy dispersive X-ray (EDX) analysis, transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and N2 adsorption BET analysis. The as-prepared $Ag_2Se/TiO_2$ nanocomposites simultaneously possessed great adsorptivity for organic dyes and efficient charge separation properties. In the decolorization of rhodamine B, a significant enhancement in the reaction rate was observed for the $Ag_2Se/TiO_2$ nanocomposite compared to the cases of using pure P25 or $TiO_2$. The sonocatalysis activity was higher due to the greater formation of reactive radicals, as well as to the increase of the active surface area of the $Ag_2Se/TiO_2$ nanocomposite.
