Water-based systems are dominating the coating market because of worldwide VOCs regulations. Research is focusing especially on waterborne polyurethane (WPU) because of its unique mechanical and chemical properties. However, commercial WPU consists of linear thermoplastic polymers with polar groups on the main chain, which do not perform as well as solvent-borne PU in a two-pack system. In this study, APTES were used as a chain crosslink agent to overcome commercial WPU's limited performance. WPUs synthesized by using a sol-gel process were evaluated with FT-IR, particle analysis, TGA, tensile tests, pull-off tests, SEM, and EIS. The results showed that WPUs with added APTES had better thermal stability, mechanical properties, and water resistance than did WPUs without added APTES. Consequently, the sol-gel process increased the crosslink density of WPUs and modified the WPU's own properties.

To improve the performance of $LiFePO_4F$, a novel sol-gel process is developed. For comparison, ceramic process is also implemented. From X-ray diffraction results we know that each sample adopts a triclinic $P{\bar{1}}$ space group, and they are isostructural with amblygonite and tavorite. The scanning electron microscope images show that the homogeneous grains with the dimension of 300-500 nm is obtained by the sol-gel process; meanwhile the sample particles obtained by ceramic process are as big as 1000-3000 nm. By galvanostatic tests and at electrochemical impedance spectroscopy method, the sample obtained by sol-gel process presents better electrochemical properties than the one obtained by ceramic process.

New methods were developed to prepare silver-doped sol-gel films for surface-enhanced Raman spectroscopy (SERS) applications. First, silver ions were doped into a sol-gel matrix. The doped silver ions were reduced into corresponding silver metal particles by two reductive procedures; chemical reduction and thermal reduction. The SERS spectra of benzoic acid were used to demonstrate the SERS effect of the new substrates. The adsorption strength of benzoic acid adsorbed on differently reduced substrates was discussed. The possible adsorption form and the orientation of adsorbate were also discussed.

In this study, the characteristics and sinterablities of TiO2 powders which were fabricated on sol-gel process and supercritical fluid process were examined. The powders fabricated on sol-gel process were amorphous. The particle size and shape were changed with the amount of water used for hydrolysis of titanium ethoxide. The powders were changed from amorphous to crystalline by heating at 400℃. The crystalline anatase TiO2 powders were directly prepared in ethanol supercritical fluid condition that temperature was 270±3℃ and pressure was 7.3 MPa. It's primary crystalline size was 20 nm and agglomerated as spherical shape whose size was 0.7∼1㎛. The powders prepared on sol-gel process were not sintered densely at 900℃ because of abnormal grain growth. However, the powders which prepared on supercritical fluid process were sintered densely at the comparatively low temperature of 800℃ by ideal growth of grain, which are fired at 900℃.

$Mg_4Nb_2O_9$ (MN) ceramics have been prepared by a sol-gel method. The powder characteristics, phase evolution, and microwave dielectric properties of the MN were investigated in various processing conditions such as sol-gel compositions, calcination, and sintering temperatures. A Qxfo value of 111,717 GHz with a ${\varepsilon}_r$ of 10.59 and a ${\tau}_f$ of $+1.736\;ppm/^{\circ}C$ was obtained after sintering at $1300^{\circ}C$ for 5 h.

(Ba$_{0.5}$Sr$_{0.5}$)TiO$_3$ thin films were fabricated at different RTA temperatures and thicknesses by Sol-Gel method. Solution consisting of acetate powders and titanium isopropoxide in a mixture of acetic acid and ethylene glycol were spin coated onto Pt/Ti/SiO$_2$/Si substrates. The films were annealed in the temperature range of 650~80$0^{\circ}C$ for 3 minutes by rapid thermal annealing. These BST thin films were fully crystallized at 75$0^{\circ}C$ and showed a maximum dielectric constant value of $\varepsilon$$_{r}$=~468 and dielectric loss was ~0.025 at a thickness of approximately 4000$\AA$.EX>.>.

The important parts of material science in the film preparation fields and sol-gel technology are presented. For the present work, a series of amorphous films was prepared in air by sol-gel method without using some alkoxide stabilizer, which reduces the reactivity of the metal alkoxides. The choice of precursors can affect the chemical-reaction kinetics, microstructures and properties of the product. In this report author compared the crystallization behavior of oxide functional films derived from the same precursors, stressing the influence of experiment conditions and where it was possible to obtain the uniform amorphous or crystalline dielectric films. A short analysis of sol-gel technology and thin film methods about development of dielectric materials has been given.

In this study, p-type thin film transistors consisting of CuO channels were fabricated by sol-gel process, with copper (II) acetate monohydrate precursors. At $500^{\circ}C$, the deposited films were fully converted into monoclinic phase CuO. The fabricated CuO thin film transistors deliver field effect mobility in saturation regime of $0.015cm^2/Vs$, and $I_{on}/I_{off}$ of ${\sim}10^3$. The degradation of the performance of the fabricated CuO thin film transistor caused by the exposure to air has been studied.

N-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-1,4-diaminoanthrquinone-2,3-dicarboximide (TESP-DADI), an organic blue pigment, has been prepared and incorporated into silica solid matrix reacting triethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) via sol-gel method. Morphology and microstructure of resulting hybrid pigment were studied employing SEM and TEM. The micrographs and particle size distributions showed that uniform pigment can be obtained employing TEOS-based sol-gel method forming silica core. Particle size distribution of dispersed pigment in water was examined using the technique of dynamic light scattering. The ensuing pigment dispersion ink was subjected to various physicochemical evaluation such as viscosity, surface tension, inkjet stability, storage stability, and color change as inkjet ink using spectrophotometric, and microscopic techniques.

Sol-gel 공정에 의해 제조된 세라믹 분리 막은 보다 순수한 재료를 이용할 수 있고, 균일성을 향상시킬 수 있을 뿐 아니라 다양한 복합체도 넓은 범위에서 반응을 유도할 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있어 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 sc,1-gel 공정을 이용하여 Tetraethyl ortho-silicate(TEOS)-Polyethylene glycol(PEG)계 organically modified silicate(ORMOSt)sol을 합성하였다. Polymer분자량을 변수로 하여 sol 합성 후 특성 변화를 점도와 겔화 시간을 측정함으로써 관찰하였다. 합성된 sol을 다공성 담체 위에 dip-coating법을 이용하여 막을 제조하였으며, SEM관찰을 통해 분리 막의 미세구조를 확인하였다. 합성 복합 막의 Oil/water 에멀젼의 처리효율을 cross-flow 타입의 막 분리 장치를 이용하여 확인하였다. Ormosilsol은 유기물의 분자량이 증가될수록 보다 쉽게 코팅 층을 형성 시킬 수 있었고, 담체를 용매에 담지 시켜 코팅 물질이 담체의 기공내로 침투될 때의 모세관력을 줄임으로써 크랙이 방지된 얇은 막을 얻을 수 있었다. Colloidal sol 코팅 막에 비해 ormosil sol코팅 막은 분리효율 뿐 아니라 flux 특설이 시험 5분경과 시점에서 약 $200\;l/m^2h$이상 향상되었음을 확인 할 수 있었다.
