Monodispersed $ZnGa_2O_4$ microspheres were synthesized by a facile two-step process consisting of a solvothermal method and calcination process. The prepared monodispersed $ZnGa_2O_4$ microspheres were aggregated into 3D microstructures by self-assembly with a large number of small $ZnGa_2O_4$ particles generated in nucleation. This nucleation and self-assembly making hierarchical microstructures were depended on the concentration of PEG (polyethylene glycol) due to CAC (critical aggregation concentration) theory. And also we controlled the amount of zinc acetate to make pure $ZnGa_2O_4$ phase. Additionally, to fix the optimized calcination condition, sample was characterized by TG-DTA to prove the thermal property in the calcination process and by FT-IR to identify the changes of functional group bonding between each element of the $ZnGa_2O_4$ precursor and oxide calcined at $900^{\circ}C$ for 1 h.

High porous AlO(OH) gel is used in precursor of ceramic material, coating material and porous catalyst. For use of these, not only physiochemical control for particle morphology, pore characteristic and peptization but also studies of synthetic method for preparation of high porous AlO(OH) gel were required. In this study, high porous AlO(OH) gel was prepared through the aging and filtration process of aluminum hydroxides gel precipitated by the hydrolysis reaction of $Na_2CO_3$ solution and $Al_2(SO_4)_3$ and $Na_2SO_4$ mixed solution. In this process, optimum synthetic condition of AlO(OH) gel having excellent pore volume as studying the effect of hydrolysis pH on gel precipitates has been studied. Hydrolysis pH brought about numerous changes on crystal morphology, surface area, pore volume and pore size. Physiochemical properties of gel were investigated as using XRD, TEM, TG/DTA, FT-IR and $N_2$ BET method.

The effects of reaction temperature, reactant concentration, pH of solution and mixing order of reactants on the particle shape and size distribution of zinc oxide were investigated in the preparation of zinc oxide from ammonium hydroxide and zinc acetate by the method of aqueous hydrothermal precipitation method, and the photocatalytic ability of zinc oxide synthesized was measured from the degradation of tartrazine under UV irradiation. The average particle size was increased with pH of solution but decreased with zinc acetate concentration and reaction temperature. The optimum condition for the synthesis of minimum sized zinc oxide was pH 11.2, concentration of zinc acetate 0.6 M and reaction temperature $90^{\circ}C$, and its average particle size was 3.133 ${\mu}$m. 97% of tartrazine was degraded by zinc oxide in sixty minutes.

In this study, we present simple microfluidic approach for the synthesis of monodisperse microcapsules by using droplet-based system. We generate double emulsion through single step in the microfluidic device having single junction while conventional approaches are limited in surface treatment for the generation of double emulsion. First, we have injected disperse fluid containing FC-77 oil and photocurable ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (ETPTA) and water containing 3 wt% poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as continuous phase into microfluidic device. Under the condition, we easily generate double emulsion with high monodispersity by using flow focusing. The double emulsion droplets are transformed into microcapsules under the UV irradiation via photopolymerization. In addition, we control thickness of double emulsion's shell by controlling flow rate of ETPTA. We also show that the size of double emulsions can be controlled by manipulation of flow rate of continuous phase. Furthermore, we synthesize microcapsules encapsulating various materials for the application of drug delivery systems.

The feasibility of using the industrial inorganic waste materials such as l~mestone sludge. Soundly sand. coal fly 'ash, and chemical glasses as a raw material for cement clinker by melting treatmeut was iovestigated. The slag wh~ch is obtained from thc melts of the mixtnres of waste materials is composed of P-C,S(ZCaO - SIOJ and C,AS(ZCaO . AI,O, . SiO,) phases. The effect of melting tempcrabre, coaling condition and CIS ratio on the fo~mation of P-C,S phasc was examed. In order to obtain thc P-CiS phase which is useful in thc utilhtion as a clinkcr malcrid, it B found that sudl considerations as low melting temperature as possible of the wastc mixhire, quenching the melts and law CIS ratio of the mlxhlre are necessary.

Dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC); an alternate energy source harvester has gained some attractive features such as high-energy conversion efficiency low production cost. Dye-sensitizer is a basic component of DSSC, which affecting the performance of the energy conversion efficiency. Current research has been focusing on development of high efficiency, metal-free dye-sensitizers, which would be more environmental friendly. We had successfully explored synthetic route to 6,6'-(1,2,5-oxadiazole-3,4-diyl)dipyridine-2,4-dicarboxylic acid (3A) which has been used as organic sensitizer. Investigation of light conversion efficiency (${\eta}$) of the compound uses standard measurement condition (one sun simulated irradiation, AM 1.5, 100 mW/$cm^2$) showed that it could reach 1.00% ($J_{SC}=2.63\;mAcm^{-2}$, $V_{OC}$=0.64 V and FF=0.59). Under the same conditions, the ruthenium complex (N719) gave the conversion efficiency as high as 4.02%($J_{SC}=10.50\;mAcm^{-2}$, $V_{OC}$=0.67V and FF=0.57).

The samples of $Ba_2CoZnFe_{12}O_{22}$ was synthesized by the solid-state reaction method. The toroids of $Ba_2CoZnFe_{12}O_{22}$ were sintered with various sintering temperature at 1050, 1100, 1150, and $1200^{\circ}C$, and studied by x-ray diffractometer, vibrating sample magnetometer, network analyzer, and Mssbauer spectrometer. From the XRD patterns, the density of samples increased with increasing sintering temperature. From the magnetic hysteresis curves up to 10 kOe at 295 K, the saturation magnetization ($M_s$) of $Ba_2CoZnFe_{12}O_{22}$ samples in various sintered at 1050, 1100, 1150 ,and $1200^{\circ}C$ were showed around $M_s$= 33.0 emu/g. However, With increasing sintering temperature, the coercivity ($H_c$) of samples decrease. Complex permeability and permittivity of samples in various sintering temperatures were measured between 100MHz to 4 GHz. With increasing sintering temperature, the permeability of samples increase.

Low-temperature solder glass for use in electronic package was experimentally prepared and its crystallization behavior was investigated using differential thermal analysis (DTA) under nonisothermal condition. The composition of the solder glass was determined from PbO-ZnO-$B_2$$O_3$-$TiO_2$ glasses containing small amounts of CaO, $SiO_2$$A1_2$$O_3$ and $P_2$$O_5$. The crystallization exotherm corresponding to the formation of lead titanate (PbTiO$_3$) was observed. The crystallization of $PbTiO_3$was a three-dimensional process with the average activation energy of 223$\pm$3 kJ/mol for the crystallization from the glass matrix.

3-(N-Carbonylpyrrolidone)-propanoic acid potassium-salt and 3-(N-carbonylpyrrolidone)propenoic acid potassium-salt were synthesized by the reaction of 2-pyrrolidone potassium-salt with succinic anhydride and maleic anhydride in acetone and in acetone and in benzene. The anionic polymerization of 2-pyrrolidone with 3-(N-carbonylpyrrolidone)-propanoic acid potassium-salt or 3-(N-carbonylpyrrolidone)-propenoic acid potassium-salt as an initiator and potassium hydroxide as a catalyst was studied. It was found that 2.0 and 1.0 mole %, concentration of catalyst and initiator, and temperature of $50^{\circ}C$ was the optimum condition obtaining highest conversion and viscosity of polymer. The inherent viscosity of nylon 4 was measured to be 1.2 dl/g and 2.3 dl/g.
