Although the screen printing technology using photosensitive carbon nanotube (CNT) paste has many advantages such as low cost, simple process, uniform emission, and capability of mass production, the CNT paste needs to be improved further in CNT dispersion, printability, adhesion, electrical conductivity, population of CNT emitters, etc. Ball milling has been frequently employed to prepare the CNT paste as ball milling can mix its ingredients very well and easily cut the long, entangled CNTs. This study carried out a parametric approach to fabricating the CNT paste in terms of low-energy ball milling and a paste composition. Field emission properties of the CNT paste was characterized with CNT dispersion and electrical conductivity which were measured by a UV-Vis spectrophotometer and a 4-point probe method, respectively. Main variables in formulating the CNT paste include a length of milling time, and amounts of CNTs and conductive inorganic fillers. In particular, we varied not only the contents of conductive fillers but also used two different sizes of filler particles of ${\mu}m$ and nm ranges. Among many variations of conductive fillers, the best field emission characteristics occurred at the 5 wt% fillers with the mixing ratio of 3:1 for ${\mu}m$-and nm-sizes. The amount and size of fillers has a great effect on the morphology, processing stability, and field emission characteristics of CNT emitter dots. The addition a small amount of nm-size fillers considerably improved the field emission characteristics of the photosensitive CNT paste.

Nowadays biodiesel (fatty acid methyl ester, FAME) has been becoming an important issue as a desired alternative of energy products because of non-toxic, biodegradable properties, and lower exhaust emissions. During esterification of fatty acids or transesterification of oils and fats with short chain alcohols by the alkali-catalyzed methanolysis, FAME and unrefined glycerol are generated. Quantification of glycerol as a by-product is important because of a determinant of biodiesel quality. However, the glycerol analysis by gas chromatography (GC) method has laborious works with sample preparation, long time and cost of sample analysis. Thus, there is a need to analyze glycerol more simply. Herein we demonstrate that the colorimetric assay for glycerol analysis conducted by UV-vis spectrophotometer at the wavelength 617 nm whose peak is maximum intensity of malachite green, resulting in the red-shift occurred proportionally as a function of glycerol amount. Thus, it is considered the solvent media for malachite green fading for biodiesel production: (1) water, (2) MeOH, and (3) EtOH. The resulting findings show that the peak intensity at 617 nm in glycerol-malachite green mixture had a relationship between glycerol concentration and degree of peak shift as increase in pure glycerol concentration approximately at pH 7.0. However, when it was measured the unrefined glycerol concentration by diluting and adjusting with water to buffer (pH 7.0), it was not observed the absorption peak at 617 nm because of impurities and OH ions. In case of glycerol from biodiesel production factories, glycerol concentration could be successfully measured.

In order to reduce reflectance of soda-lime glass having average reflectance of 7.35% and refractive index of 1.53, single (SiO2), double (SiO2/20SiO2-80ZrO2), and triple (SiO2/ZrO2/75SiO2-25ZrO2) layers were designed and fabricated on the glass substrate by Sol-Gel method. Stble sols of SiO2-ZrO2 binary system for antireflective (AR) coatings were synthesized with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and zirconium n-butoxide as precursors and ethylacetoacetate (EAcAc) as a chelating agent in an atmosphere environment. Films were deposited on soda-lime glass at the withdrawal rates of 3~11 cm/min using the prepared polymeric sols by dip-coating and they were heat-treated at 45$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 min to obtain homogeneous, amorphous and crack-free films. In case of SiO2-ZrO2 binary system, refractive index of film increased with an increase of ZrO2 mol%. Designed optical constant of films could be obtained through varying the withdrawal rate. In the visible region (380~780nm), reflectance was measured with UV/VIS/NIR Spectrophotometer. Average reflectances of the prepared single-layer [SiO2 (n=1.46, t=103nm)], double-layer [SiO2 (n=1.46, t=1-4nm)/20SiO2-80ZrO2 (n=1.81, t=82nm)], and triple-layer [SiO2 (n=1.46, t=104nm)/ZrO2 (n=1.90, t=80nm)/75SiO2-25ZrO2 (n=1.61, t=94 nm)] were 4.74%, 0.75% and 0.38%, respectively.

ZnO nanorods 구조는 광소자 및 태양광 소자의 성능을 향상시키기 위해서 무반사계수, 광추출효율, 전기적, 열적 전도도를 개선시킬 수 있어, 매우 큰 관심을 가지고 왔다. 또한 Ag 나노입자는 표면 플라즈몬 효과를 이용하여 LED나 태양전지에 응용하여 소자의 성능이 향상됨을 이론적, 실험적으로 증명되어 왔으며, 현재에도 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이러한 ZnO nanorods 특성과 Ag 나노입자의 표면 플라즈몬 효과를 이용하기 위해서, 본 연구에서는 Ag 나노 입자를 형성된 ZnO seed층에 ZnO nanorods를 성장시켰다. 시료를 제작을 위해서 비교적 성장이 간단하고 저온성장이 가능한 화학적 합성방법을 이용하였다. Ag 나노입자가 형성된 ZnO seed층 제작을 위해서 먼저 Si 기판위에 RF magnetron 스퍼터를 이용하여 고진공, $N_2$ 분위기에서 일정한 두께로 증착을 하였으며, 이후 Ag 박막을 thermal evaporator로 10 nm 두께로 증착하였다. 그 다음, 크기가 다른 Ag 나노입자를 형성을 위해서 rapid thermal annealing (RTA)을 여러 가지 온도에서 수행하였다. 그리고 이러한 시료들를 이용하여, ZnO nanorods를 성장하기 위하여, $90-95^{\circ}$의 온도에서 zinc nitrate $Zn(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$과 hexamethylentetramines (HMT)으로 혼합된 용액에 담가두어 ZnO nanorods를 성장시켰다. Ag 나노입자의 크기에 따라 ZnO nanorods의 구조와 형태에 대하여 어떠한 영향을 주는지를 관찰하기 위해 field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM)을 이용하여 측정하였으며, Ag와 ZnO의 성분분석과 결정성을 조사하기 위해 X-ray diffraction (XRD)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 그리고 표면 플라즈몬에 의한 영향에 대하여 조사하기 위해, ZnO nanorods와 Ag 나노입자가 형성된 ZnO nanorods를 UV-Vis-NIR spectrophotometer을 이용하여 흡수계수와 반사계수를 비교하여 측정하였으며. 태양전지의 성능향상을 수 있음을 이론적으로 계산하였다. 그리고 또한 photoluminescence (PL) 분석을 수행하여 ZnO nanorods의 구조에 대하여 Ag 나노입자의 영향에 대한 광특성을 측정하였다.

플렉서블 디스플레이에 사용되고 있는 기판은 광학적 투과율이 우수하고 휘어지는 폴리머 기판이 많이 활용되고 있으나 대기중의 수분 및 산소와 같은 가스성분들이 기판을 통해 침투하여 디스플레이의 수명을 감소시킨다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해 투명하면서 절연특성이 뛰어나고 수분투과 방지 특성이 뛰어난 실리콘 화합물을 기반으로 하는 가스차단막의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 실험에서는 기존의 스퍼터링 장치에 비해 저온공정이면서 구조적으로 뛰어난 박막특성을 얻을 수 있는 대향타겟식 스퍼터링(Facing Targets System, FTS)법을 이용하여 PEN기판 위에 $SiO_x$, $SiO_xN_y$, $(SiO_2)_x(ZnO)_{100-x}$ (SZO)를 단일층또는 다층으로 증착한 박막들의 광학적, 구조적 및 수분 투과 방지 특성들을 알아보았다. $SiO_x$, $SiO_xN_y$, SZO박막들의 광학적 특성을 알아보기 위해 Shimadzu사의 UV-VIS spectrophotometer 장비를 사용하여 측정한 결과 가시광 영역에서 80%이상의 높은 광투과율을 나타내었다. 박막의 수분투과 방지 특성으로 Mocon사의 Permatran W3/31 system을 이용한 투습율을 측정결과 가스 차단막이 없는 Bare PEN에 비해 PEN기판 위에 $SiO_x$와 $SiO_xN_y$ 박막들을 단층 또는 다층으로 증착한 박막의 투습율이 감소한 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 특히 SZO 박막의 경우 다른 가스차단막들과 비교해 가장 낮은 수분투과율을 나타내었다. 이는 향후 SZO를 기반으로 한 단층박막이나 무기/무기 또는 유기/무기의 다층 박막 형태를 가지는 가스차단막이 플렉서블 디스플레이에 적용 가능할 것이라 사료된다.

In this study, we prepared PLA-tetracycline complexes coated gold nanoparticle-titania nanotubes and estimated their infrared LASER mediated drug release in the abdominal region of ICR mouse. The results of UV-Vis spectrophotometer showed the highest absorbance at the wavelength of 530 nm and 809 nm indicating the existence of gold nanoparticles. EDX analysis showed that the amounts of gold nanoparticle coated on titania nanotubes were approximately 3.62-36.5 wt%. In vivo test resulted that the tetracycline release value of experimental groups (6.5 ng/mL) was higher than that of control group (5.8 ng/mL) on the condition of 30 minutes of LASER irradiation. Therefore, it is expected that PLA-tetracycline complexes coated gold nanoparticle-titania nanotubes have the feasibility in the field of infrared remote controlled drug device and overcome the limitation of location and time of drug release in dental implant.

The aims of this research were to examine the effect of heating temperature (65, 75, and $85^{\circ}C$) and $CaCl_2$ concentration level (3, 4, and 5 mM) on the physicochemical properties of ${\beta}$-lactoglobulin (${\beta}$-lg) nanoemulsions (NEs) and to study how the droplet size of NEs affects the bioaccessibility (BA) of coenzyme $Q_{10}$ ($CoQ_{10}$). The droplet size of NEs and BA of $CoQ_{10}$ was assessed by particle size analyzer and UV-Vis spectrophotometer, respectively. An increase in heating temperature and $CaCl_2$ concentration level resulted in a significant (p<0.05) increase in the droplet size of NEs while there were no significant differences in polydispersity index and zeta-potential of NEs. When NEs containing $CoQ_{10}$ were incubated in simulated small intestinal phases, an increase in the droplet size and polydispersity index of NEs was observed. This indicated that NEs were not stable in small intestine and digestion of NEs occurred. As heating temperature and $CaCl_2$ concentration level were decreased, a significant (p<0.05) increase in BA of $CoQ_{10}$ was observed. There was a significant (p<0.05) increase in BA of $CoQ_{10}$ with a decrease in the droplet size of NEs. In conclusion, heating temperature and $CaCl_2$ concentration level were key-parameters affecting the initial droplet size of NEs and BA of $CoQ_{10}$ was negatively correlated with initial droplet size of NEs.

Indium-doped Mg_0.05Zn_0.95O thin films were deposited on glass substrates by a sol-gel method. Three types of indium precursors such as indium chloride, indium acetate, and indium nitrate were used as doping sources. Physical properties of fabricated thin films were analyzed through XRD (x-ray diffraction), UV-vis spectrophotometer, Hall effect measurement, and EDS (energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy). All In-doped thin films grown in this study exhibited a preferred orientation of (002) with over 80% transmittance. The results showed that the Mg_0.05Zn_0.95O thin film from indium chloride as the indium precursor has higher crystallinity and transmittance with lower resistivity when compared with those from other indium precursors.
