Membrane separation is widely used for several applications such as water treatment, membrane reactors and climate change. Cross-linked organic-inorganic hybrid polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) / Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) was adopted for the preparation of optimized hollow membrane (HFM) for membrane distillation or other low pressure separators for mechanical properties and permeability under varying pretreatment schemes. HFMs were prepared on semi-pilot membrane fabrication system. Novel adopted post-treatment schemes involved soaking in glycerol, magnesium sulphate (MgSO₄), sodium hypochlorite (NaOCl), and isopropanol for different durations. All fibers were characterized for morphology using a scanning electron microscope (SEM), surface roughness using atomic force microscope (AFM), elemental composition by examining Energy Dispersive Spectroscopy (EDS), water contact angle (CA°) and porosity. The performance of the fibers was evaluated for pure water permeation flux (PWF). Post-treatment with MgSO₄ gave the highest both tensile modulus and flux. Assessment of properties and performance revealed comparable results with other organic-inorganic separators, HF or flat. In spite of few reported data on post treatment using MgSO₄ in presence of TEOS, this proves the potential of low cost treatment without negative impact on other membrane properties. The flux is also comparable with hypochlorite which manifests substantial precaution requirements in actual industrial use.The relatively high values of flux/bar for sample treated with TEOS, post treated with MgSO₄ and hypochlorite are 88 and 82 LMH/bar respectively.

졸겔법에 의해 제조된 organically modified silicate(Ormosil)에 Rhodamine 6G perchlorate(Rh6GP)를 침투시켰으며, 이 유기염료가 무기/유기 복합 기저체(host)에 안정하게 침투되었는지를 확인하였다. 복합졸의 상태에서 측정된 유기염료의 흡수스펙트럼과 겔화된 후의 스펙트럼, 그리고 복합체가 완전히 건조된 상태에서의 스펙트럼을 비교하여 Rh6GP가 이합체화되지 않고 안정한 상태로 있을 수 있는 Ormosil의 조성을 확립하였다. 졸겔반응시의 촉매로 사용된 염산의 농도가 Tetraethyl orthosilicate(TEOS) 1몰을 기준으로 0.1몰 이내의 범위에서만 유기염료가 안정하고 이합체화되지 않은 상태가 유지되었다.

Ultrafine mullite powder was prepared from aluminium-secbutoxide and tetraethyl orthosilicate(TEOS) in the molar $Al_2O_3/SiO_2$=3/2. Sol-gel method by partial hydrolysis technique, as it were, first, TEOS was partially hydrolysized and then mixed with Al-secbutoxide for complete hydrolysis was used. X-ray diffraction, infrared spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy, etc. confirmed that the mullite powder prepared by this method is in the stoichiometric $Al_2O_3/SiO_2$ ratio. Al-Si spinel was formed at $980^{\circ}C$ and ultrafine mullite powder with about 20 nm particle size was obtained above $1,200^{\circ}C$. Also mullite powders calcined at $1,600^{\circ}C$ had a stoichiometric composition, $3Al_2O_3{\cdot}2SiO_2$ and the lattice constants of the mullite powders calcined above $1,200^{\circ}C$ were almost coincided with theoretical values.

Silica nanoparticles, which have a broad range of sizes and specific surface features, have been used in many industrial applications. This study was conducted to synthesize monodispersed silica nanoparticles directly from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) with an alkaline catalyst (NH₃) based on the sol-gel process and the Stöber method. A central composite design (CCD) is used to build a second-order (quadratic) model for the response variables without requiring a complete three-level factorial experiment. The process was then optimized to achieve the minimum particle size with the lowest concentration of TEOS. Dynamic light scattering and scanning electron microscopy were used to analyze the size, dispersity, and morphology of the synthesized nanoparticles. After optimization, a confirmation test was carried out to evaluate the confidence level of the software prediction. The results revealed that the predicted optimization is consistent with experimental procedures, and the model is significant at the 95% confidence level.

In this article, the effect of silica addition on the phase transformation characteristics of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles synthesized by using an $O_2$-enriched coflow, hydrogen, diffusion flame was investigated. TTIP(titanium tetra-isopropoxide) and TEOS(tetraethyl-orthosilicate) were used as precursors for $TiO_2$ and $SiO_2$ nanoparticles, respectively. Based on the results from TEM and XRD analysis, it is believed that the silica addition on the flame synthesis of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles reduces the particle size distribution and raises the temperature of the phase transition from anatase to rutile. But the reduced sizes of the synthesized particles due to the silica addition made the sintering and phase transformation of particles more easily.

코팅은 플라스틱의 표면의 물성과 렌즈의 광학적 성능을 높이기 위해 필요하다. Allyl diglycol carbonate계열 렌즈 표면의 물성과 광학적 성능을 개선하기 위하여 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane(GPTS), methyltrimethoxysilane(MTMS) 및 tetraethyl orthosilicate(TEOS)의 몰 비를 변화시켜 유-무기 하이브리드 재료로 사용하였다. Sol-gel 공정에 의한 flow코팅하여, $140^{\circ}C$에서 4시간 경화하였다. 코팅 렌즈는 투과율, 부착력, 연필경도, 내마모성, 내온수성 및 내약품성을 평가하였고 GPTS, MTMS 및 TEOS의 몰비가 각각 1: 1: 2일 때 가장 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

Polypyrrole (Ppy) nanowire has been electrochemically synthesized via vertically oriented mesoporous silica template. The mesoporous template is also electrochemically deposited on indium tin oxide coated (ITO) glass from tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) surfactant. The highly ordered silica template is demonstrated to be 100~120nm thick with the pores of 4~5 nm diameter by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM). Ppy is formed to fill pores of the silica template from pyrrole solution by electrochemical oxidation. The Ppy in Ppy/silica/ITO composite was found to exhibit reversible electrochemical activity, as characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV).

Triple layers structure of $SiO_2$/ZnS:Mn/ZnS was synthesized by using ion substitution and chemical precipitation method. Each layer thickness was controlled by adjusting the concentration of manganese (II) acetate ($Mn(CH_3COO)_2$) and tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS). The structure and morphology of prepared phosphors were investigated by X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and electron probe microscopic analyzer (EPMA). Photoluminescence (PL) properties of ZnS with different layer thickness and amount of Mn activator were analyzed by PL spectrometer. PL emission intensity and PL stability were analyzed for evaluating effects of Mn activator.

Mesoporous carbon-silica composites supported Pt nanoparticle catalysts (Pt/MCS) were firstly applied to the heterogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation of ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate (EOPB). A series of different silica contents were investigated in the fabrication of this mesoporous material. When the volume of added tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) during the preparation of composites is 8 mL, Pt/MCS-8 holds carbon and silica as the main components and possesses relatively strong acidity, mesoporous structures with micropores, appropriate Pt nanoparticle size and high dispersibility showing by XRD, XPS, TPD, $N_2$ sorption and TEM. These properties cause its good catalytic performance in the heterogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation of EOPB with the enantiomeric excess value and conversion up to 85.6% and 97.8%, respectively.
