In order to improve osseointegration for biomedical implants, it is crucial to understand the interactions between nanostructured surfaces and cells. In this study, $TiO_2$ nanowires were prepared via Vapor-Liquid-Solid (VLS) process with Sn as a metal catalyst in the tube furnace. Nanowires were grown with $N_2$ heat treatment with their size controlled by the agglomeration of Sn layers in various thicknesses. MC3T3-E1 (pre-osteoblast) were cultured on the $TiO_2$ nanowires for a week. Preliminary results of the cell culture showed that the cells adhere well on the $TiO_2$ nanowires.

A numerical analysis on condensation and coagulation of the metallic species with fly ash particles pre-existing in an incinerator was performed. Waste was simplified as a mixture of methane, chlorine, and small amounts of Pb and Sn. Vapor-phase amounts of Pb- and Sn -compounds were first calculated assuming a thermodynamic equilibrium state. Then theories on vapor-to-particle conversion, vapor condensation onto the fly ash particles, and particle-particle interaction were examined and incorporated into equations of aerosol dynamics and vapor continuity. It was assumed that the particles followed a log-normal size distribution and thus a moment model was developed in order to predict the particle concentration and the particle size distribution simultaneously. Distributions of metallic vapor concentration (or vapor pressure) were also obtained. Temperature drop rate of combustion gas, fly ash concentration and its size were selected as parameters influencing the discharged amount of metallic species. In general, the coagulation between the newly formed metal particles and the fly ash particles was much greater than that between the metal particles themselves or between the fly ash particles themselves. It was also found that the amount of metallic species discharged into the atmosphere was increased due to coagulation. While most of PbO vapors produced from the combustion were eliminated due to combined effect of condensation and coagulation, the highly volatile species, PbCl$_{2}$ and SnCl$_{4}$ vapors tended to discharge into the atmosphere without experiencing either the condensation or the coagulation. For Sn vapors the tendency was between that of PbO vapors and that of PbCl$_{2}$ or SnCl$_{4}$. To restrain the discharged amount of hazardous metallic species, the coagulation should be restrained, the number concentration and the size of pre-existing fly ash particles should be increased, and the temperature drop rate of combustion gas should be kept low.

본 실험은 목적은 CRT(Cathode Ray Tube)용 청색 형광체인 ZnS:Ag 분말 표면에 액상법으로 SnO$_2$를 균일하게 코팅하는 공정조건을 연구하는 것이다. 용매로서 물을 사용하고, Sn의 공급물질로서 SnCl$_4$.4$H_2O$, 침전 촉매로서 CO(NH$_2$)$_2$를 각각 사용하여, 균일 침전 방법으로 ZnS:Ag 분말표면에 SnO$_2$를 코팅할 수 있었다. 초기에 첨가되는 SnCl$_4$.4$H_2O$의 량이 Sn/Zn의 몰비기준으로 0.017인 경우에 ZnS:Ag 분말표면에 Sn(OH)$_4$가 균일하게 코팅되지만, 그 이상 첨가되면 과량의 Sn(OH)$_4$가 입자들 사이에 응집되었다. 코팅된 Sn(OH)$_4$는 비정질 구조로 규명되었으며, 이를 SnO$_2$결정상으로 전이시키기 위하여 300~$700^{\circ}C$ 범위 내에서 열처리를 행하였다. 비정질 Sn(OH)$_4$는 20$0^{\circ}C$이하에서 탈수되었고 45$0^{\circ}C$부터 SnO$_2$로 결정화되기 시작하였다. 순수한 ZnS의 경우, 50$0^{\circ}C$이하에서는 상변화가 없으나, $600^{\circ}C$에서 일부 산화되었으며 $700^{\circ}C$에서는 완전히 ZnO로 산화되므로, ZnS의 산화방지 및 SnO$_2$의 결정화를 동시에 만족하는 최고 열처리온도는 50$0^{\circ}C$로 규명되었다. 그러나 ZnS에 SnO$_2$가 코팅된 시편의 경우에는 $600^{\circ}C$가 되어도 ZnS 상이 거의 산화되지 않았고, $700^{\circ}C$에서도 ZnS와 ZnO 상이 공존한 것으로 보아 SnO$_2$코팅이 ZnS의 산화를 억제하는 것으로 나타났다.

We investigated the post-annealing effect of Sn-incorporated β-Ga₂O₃ (β-Ga₂O₃ : Sn) nanowires (NWs) grown on sapphire (0001) substrates using radio-frequency powder sputtering. The β-Ga₂O₃ : Sn NWs were converted to a porous structure during the vacuum annealing process at 800℃. Host non-stoichiometric Ga₂O_3-x, is transformed into stoichiometric Ga₂O₃, where Sn atoms separate and form Sn nano-clusters that gradually evaporate in a vacuum atmosphere. As a result, the amount of Sn atoms was reduced from 1.31 to 0.27 at%. Pores formed on the sides of β-Ga₂O₃ : Sn NWs were observed. This increases the ratio of the surface to the volume of β-Ga₂O₃ : Sn NWs.

Ultrafine powders of $\textrm{In}_{2}\textrm{O}_{3}$-doped $\textrm{SnO}_{2}$ were synthesized by a coprecipitation method and the effects of pH value and the amount of In2Q addition on particle size were investigated. The influence of pH value on particle size could be negligible, whereas the amount of $\textrm{In}_{2}\textrm{O}_{3}$ has influenced on particle size and specific surface area. The gas sensitivity to hydrocarbOn($\textrm{C}_{3}\textrm{H}_{8}$, $\textrm{C}_{4}\textrm{H}_{10}$) increased with $\textrm{In}_{2}\textrm{O}_{3}$ addition and reached a maximum at 3wt.% addition. From the results of impedance analysis and I-V characteristics. it was showed that the agglomeration structure of particles and the boundaries between agglomerates were the important factors to determine the gas sensing mechanism.

Melting behavior and bridge phenomenon of solder paste, which is essential for surface mount technology in pachaging, were investigated. Solder paste of Sn-37%Pb was printed on Cu-pattern of PCB, and heated over melting point. Melting behavior of the paste was observed using CCD-camera. In order to modelize the melting and agglomeration phenomena of paste, two solder balls of 0.76 mm diameter were used. As experimental results, the paste start to melt from the margin of the printed shape. The height of the melted paste decreased from 270 $\mu\textrm{m}$ to 200 $\mu\textrm{m}$ firstly, and finally recovered to 250 $\mu\textrm{m}$ During the melting procedure, pores were evolved from the molted paste. Concerning melting model of solder ball, relationship between contact area of solder ball and soldering time was derived as $\chi^2/t=4r \; \gamma/\eta=7.56 m^2$/s at $280^{\circ}C$.

The micron-sized ITO(indium tin oxide) particles were prepared by spray pyrolysis from aqueous precursor solutions for indium, and tin and organic additives solution. Organic additives solution with citric acid(CA) and ethylene glycol(EG) were added to aqueous precursor solution for Indium and Tin. The obtained ITO particles prepared by spray pyrolysis from the aqueous solution without organic additives solution had spherical and filled morphologies whereas the obtained ITO particles with organic additives solution had more hollow and porous morphologies with increasing mole of organic additives. The micron-sized ITO particle with organic additives was changed fully to nano-sized ITO particle whereas the micron-sized ITO particle without organic additives was not changed fully to nano-sized ITO particle after post-treatment at $700^{\circ}C$ for 2 hours and wet-ball milling for 24 hours. The size of primary ITO particle by Debye-Scherrer formula and surface resistance of ITO pellet were measured.

This study was performed to measure physicochemical and textural characteristics, and shelf-life effect of low-fat functional sausages(LFFSs) manufactured with sodium lactate(SL, 3.3%), lac pigment and various molecular weights(MWs) of chitosan (Low=1.5 kDa, Med=30-50 kDa and High=200 kDa) during storage at 15$^{\circ}C$ for 18 days. LFFSs had 73.7-76.0% moisture, lower than 3% fat and 14-15% protein, respectively. pH values were 6.05-6.44 and the control(150 ppm, $NaNO_2$) was the lowest among LFFSs (p<0.05). Increasing storage time decreased pH values, but no differences in pH values were observed up to 6 days of storage (p>0.05). LFFSs containing SL and low MW of chitosan improved water holding capacity (WHC) and different from those with SL and medium-MW chitosan. WHC was decreased with increased storage time and differences of WHC were observed from 18 days of storage. The addition of chitosan reduced both lightness and redness values, as compared to 150 ppm sodium nitrite(SN), and increased storage time decreased yellowness(p<0.05), especially at 12 days of storage. LFFSs with SL and medium-MW chitosan increased most textural properties compared to the control(p<0.05). The addition of SN of 150 ppm in LFFSs retarded microbial growth for E. coli 0157:H7, while those with SL tended to have an antimicrobial effect for Listeria monocytogenes(LM). The growth rate of LM was delayed by addition of various MW of chitosans in LFFSs, especially high MW chitosan, as compared to LFFSs containing SL alone. These results indicated that the functional, textural and antimicrobial effects of LFFSs were improved by addition SL and various MW of chitosan combinations. In addition, 0.05% lac pigment improved the cure color of LFFSs similar to those of 150 ppm SN.
