투명 플라스틱 필름의 표면강도를 향상시키기 위하여 유-무기 혼성 코팅용액을 Sol-Gel 법을 이용하여 합성하였다. 코팅용액은 입자 직경이 12 nm 크기의 무기물인 colloidal silica 용액(Ludox)에 유기물인 GPTMS(glycidoxypropyl trimethoxysilane)를 첨가하여 제조하였다. 그 후에 기재인 PC(polycarbonate) 필름에 담금 코팅(dip-coating)시키고, 상온에서 10분 동안 건조시킨 후, $80^{\circ}C$에서 30분 동안 열 경화시켜 하드 코팅 막을 제조하였다. 이 과정 중 코팅용액의 pH 변화와 GPTMS 첨가량의 변화가 코팅 막의 물성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. pH 4의 산성 조건에서 제조된 코팅용액으로 PC 필름 위에 코팅한 경우는 중성이나 염기성 조건으로 제조된 경우 보다 우수한 연필경도 및 기재와의 부착력을 보였다. 또한 GPTMS의 첨가량이 증가할수록 코팅 막의 연필경도 및 기재와의 부착력이 증가하였다.

전해질 센서 감지막으로 사용되어 온 PVC 감지막은 센서 표면과의 낮은 부착력으로 인하여 센서 수명을 단축시켰고, 감지막의 규격화와 양산화가 어려웠다. 이러한 문제를 해결하고자 감지막 용액은 중성 캐리어(ionophore), 고분자 지지체(TEOS:DEDMS=1:3), 용매(에탄올) 그리고 촉매(염산)들을 혼합하여 sol-gel 방법으로 제조하였다. 그리고 감광성 고분자물질(THB30)로 만들어진 마이크로풀(micropool)내에 리프트-오프(lift-off) 기법으로 감지막을 형성하였다. 제작된 전해질 센서는 MISFET(metal-insulator-semiconductor field-effect transistor)의 전형적인 전기적 특성을 보였다. K-, Ca-, Na-ISFET은 넓은 농도범위에서 각각 53, 25, 50 mV/decade의 감도를 보였다. 감응시간은 약 90초이며 드리프트는 약 0.05 mV/hour였다. Sol-gel 법과 리프트-오프 기법은 감지감 형성에 적용될 수 있었으며, 센서의 규격화와 양산화를 개선시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, ZnO Thin Film Transistors (TFTs) were fabricated by a sol-gel method using a low-temperature process, and their physical and electrical characteristics were analyzed. To lower the process temperature to $200^{\circ}C$, we used a zinc nitrate hydrate ($Zn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}xH_2O$) precursor. Thermo Gravimetric Analyzer (TGA) analysis showed that the zinc nitrate hydrate precursor solution had 1.5% residual organics, much less than the 6.5% of zinc acetate dihydrate at $200^{\circ}C$. In the sol-gel method, organic materials in the precursor disrupt formation of a high-quality film, and high-temperature annealing is needed to remove the organic residuals, which implies that, by using zinc nitrate hydrate, ZnO devices can be fabricated at a much lower temperature. Using an X-Ray Diffractometer (XRD) and an X-ray Photoelectron Spectrometer (XPS), $200^{\circ}C$ annealed ZnO film with zinc nitrate hydrate (ZnO (N)) was found to have an amorphous phase and much more oxygen vacancy ($V_o$) than Zn-O bonds. Despite no crystallinity, the ZnO (N) had conductance comparable to that of ZnO with zinc acetate dihydrate (ZnO (A)) annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ as in TFTs. These results show that sol-gel could be made a potent process for low-cost and flexible device applications by optimizing the precursors.

Sol-gel법에 의해 친수성 투명 $TiO_2$ 박막이 제조되었고, 박막의 접촉각, 표면구조, 투과율의 특성이 측정되었다. 더욱이 박막의 친수 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 계면활성제 tween 80이 이용되었다. Tween 80의 첨가량이 0, 10, 30, 50wt%일 때, 제조된 박막의 접촉각은 각각 $41.4^{\circ}$, $18.2^{\circ}$, $16.0^{\circ}$, $13.2^{\circ}$로 확인되었다. 제조된 $TiO_2$ 박막은 자외선 조사 후 Methylene blue용액을 분해시켜 흡광도를 감소시키는 광촉매 특성을 보여주었다. 일반유리(bare glass), Antimony Tin Oxide(ATO)코팅 유리, Fluorine Tin Oxide(FTO)코팅유리, Indium Tin Oxide(ITO)코팅유리 기판 위 에 Tween 80을 30 wt% 함유한 $TiO_2$ 용액을 적층하여 박막의 접촉각과 투과율을 측정하였다. 다양한 기판에 제조된 박막은 $16.2\sim27.1^{\circ}$의 표면 접촉각을 나타냈으며 자외선 조사 후에는 접촉각이 $13.2\sim17.6^{\circ}$로 낮아졌다. 특히 ATO코팅유리와 FTO 코팅유리 기판 위에 코팅된 필름은 가시광선 영역에서 각각 74.6%, 76.8%의 높은 투과율을 나타내었고, 적외선 영역에서는 각각 54.2%, 40.4%의 낮은 투과율을 나타냈다.

Generally $PbTiO_3$ is manufactured in a form of thin films which is useful for the application of infrared sensors and non-volatile memory devices. Moreover $PbTiO_3$ has a characteristic of adsorption for organic acid as well as electronic property. Organic acid adsorption properties of $PbTiO_3$ powder prepared by sol-gel method was compared with the powder purchased from Aldrich Co. Crystallization and particle size of $PbTiO_3$ are influenced by process variables, such as dilution of sol solution, catalysis, calcination temperature, calcination time, etc. As the size of $PbTiO_3$ power decreased until several nanometers, adsorption of acetic acid and formic acid was increased 1.5-fold and 1.2-fold respectively.

In the present study, silver-doped antibacterial hydroxyapatites were successfully prepared by the sol-gel method. For the starting solution, the molar ratio of $Ca(NO_3)_2{\cdot}4H_2O, P(OC_2H_5)_3,\;C_2H_5OH,\;and\;H_O$ was set to 0.075:0.045:20:0.135; $AgNO_3$ was added to a ratio of Ag to total cation concentration of $0.5-12 mol\%$. The prepared sol was dried at $100^{\circ}C$ for 48h and heat-treated at $1000^{\circ}C$ for 2h to obtain particles in the 200-500nm size range. The product from the synthesis of silver-doped hydroxyapatite was investigated through X-ray diffraction experiments and scanning electron microscopy. The product showed high antibacterial properties, with a disinfection ratio of Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Escherichia coli (ATCC 25922) over $99.9^{\circ}C$ as calculated from an antimicrobial effects evaluation by the shake flask method.

Monodispersed $SiO_2/ZnO$ composite fine powders were prepared by Sol-Gel processing and their surface electrical and UV absorbance properties were investigated. Pseudomorph ZnO fine powders were microcapsuled by $SiO_2/ZnO$ sol fabricated using TEOS[tetraethylorthosilicate, purity 98% and ethanol as a solvent with $NH_3$ catalyst. The effects of experimental parameters such as molar ratio of starting materials on the final particle size and shape of $SiO_2/ZnO$ composite fine powder were discussed. As a result, we could controlled the size of monodispersed $SiO_2/ZnO$ composite fine powders without agglomeration, as well as the good dispersibility in aquous solution. The prepared powders were observed to have the mean particle sizes of $0.26-0.78{\mu}m$ with standard deviations of $0.020-0.063{\mu}m$.

It is known that bones get damaged by accidents and aging. Since the discovery of Bioglass, various kinds of ceramics have been also found to bond to living bone; some of these ceramics are already being clinically used as bone-repairing materials. In the present study, antibacterial calcium silicate gel ($Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel) was prepared by sol-gel method in order to control the microstructure, which is related to the dissolution rate and induction period of apatite formation in body environment. In addition, biological $Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ is tested. This was done to impart antimicrobial activity to the $30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$. Ag ion was added during sol-gel synthesis to replace the $H_2O$ added during the making of the $30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel, which has silver solutions of various concentration. After the sol-gel process, 1N-$HNO_3$ solution was used to wash the gel when synthesizing the gel, in order to maintain the porous structure and remove PEG, water soluble polymers. Then, the apatite forming ability of the sol-gel derived CaO-$SiO_2$ gels was investigated using simulated body fluid (SBF), which had almost the same ion concentration as that of human blood plasma. The gels were analyzed by FT-IR spectroscopy, SEM observation, XRD, and fluorescent microscopy. The apatite was successfully created even after washing the gel; apatite is present in an amorphous state, and was found to affect the concentration of the Ag ion in cells in MC3T3 live & dead assay results. From these results, it is suggested that a good material that can be used to repair defects of nature bone is $Ag-30CaO{\cdot}70SiO_2$ gel.

Mullite-PSZ powders were synthesized by the sol-gel process using Al(sec-OC4H9)3, Si(OC2H5)4, ZrOCl2$.$8H2O and YCl3 solution and the characteristics of synthesized powders were studied. The sinterability and mechanical properties of powder compacts sintered at 1670$^{\circ}C$ for 4hr were also studied for various PSZ contents. ${\gamma}$-Al2O3(Al-Si spinel) formed at 980$^{\circ}C$ from amorphous dried gel, and mullite as well as ZrO2 formed above 1200$^{\circ}C$. At the room temperature, ZrO2 was a mixture of tetragonal and monoclinic phases. The specimens were densified to 97∼98% except the specimen containing 25 vol% PSZ which showed the relative density of 94%. The K1c value increased with the PSZ content and showed a maximum value of 4.1 MN/m3/2 at 25 vol% PSZ; this value was about 50% higher than that of the mullite without PSZ. Flexural strength had a maximum value of 280 Mn/㎡ at 20 vol% PSZ. In contrast, at 25 vol%, the flexural strength was even lower than that of the mullite possibly due to higher porosity of 6%.
