The present study suggests a novel method to produce raspberry-like microparticles containing diverse functional materials inside. The raspberry-like microparticles were produced from a random assembly of uniformly-sized poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) nanoparticles via electrospraying. The solution containing the PMMA nanoparticles were supplied through the inner nozzle and compressed air was emitted through the outer nozzle. The air supply helped fast evaporation of acetone, so it enabled copious amount of microparticles as dry powder. The microparticles were highly porous both on the surface and interiors, hence various materials with a function of UV-blocking ($TiO_2$ nanoparticles and methoxyphenyl triazine) or anti-aging (ethyl(4-(2,3-dihydro-1H-indene-5-carboxyamido) benzoate)) were loaded in large amount (17 wt % versus PMMA). The surface and interior structures of the microparticles were dependent on the characteristics of functional materials. The results clearly suggest that the process to prepare the raspberry-like microparticles can be an excellent approach to generate functional microstructures.

Fluorine-doped tin oxide (FTO), which is commonly used in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs), is a promising material of transparent conducting oxides (TCOs) because of advantages such as high chemical stability, high resistance, high optical transparency (>80% at 550nm), and low electrical resistivity (${\sim}10-4{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$). Especially, dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) have been actively studied since Gratzel's research group required FTO substrate as a charge collector. When FTO substrates are used in DSSCs, photo-injected electrons may experience recombination at interface between dye-bonded semiconductor oxides ($TiO_2$) on FTO substrate and the electrolyte. To solve these problems, one is that because recombination at FTO substrate cannot be neglected, thin $TiO_2$ layer on FTO substrate as a blocking layer was introduced. The other is to control the morphology of surface on FTO substrate to reduce a loss of electrons. The structural, electrical, and optical characteristics of morphology controlled-FTO thin films as TCO materials were analyzed by X-Ray Diffraction (XRD), Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM), Hall Effect Measurement, and UV spectrophotometer. The performance of DSSCs fabricated with morphology controlled FTO substrates was performed using Power Conversion Efficiency (PCE). We will discuss these results in detail in Conference.

천연 대마섬유의 UVB 차단 효과를 조사하고자 mouse를 4개의 그룹으로 구분하여 자외선을 조사한 뒤 외이의 조직절편을 제작하여 비교 분석하였다. 자외선을 직접 조사한 실험군[U], 대마섬유로 차단한 뒤 자외선을 조사한 실험군[H], 폴리에스테르 섬유로 차단한 후 자외선을 조사한 실험군[P], 자외선을 조사하지 않은 대조군[C]으로 나누어 실험한 후 광학현미경하에서 피부 조직의 변화를 관찰하였다. 대조군[C] 외이조직의 상피세포층 두께는 $16.3\;{\mu}m$이었지만, 자외선을 직접 조사한[U]군의 상피세포층은 $65.4\;{\mu}m$, [H]군은 $33.3\;{\mu}m$, [P]군은 $41.0\;{\mu}m$의 두께 변화를 보였다. 또한, 정상적인 외이의 상피세포의 단면적은 $22.0\;{\mu}m^2$이었으나, 자외선을 직접 조사한 [U]군의 상피세포층은 $37.7\;{\mu}m^2$, [H]군은 $30.1\;{\mu}m^2$, [P]군은 $30.2\;{\mu}m^2$이었다. 따라서 천연 대마섬유와 합성 폴리에스테르섬유 모두 UVB를 차단하는 능력을 갖고 있지만 전자가 후자보다 더 효과적으로 UVB를 차단함을 알 수 있었다.

This study was performed to investigate the effect of organic characteristics and feed water solution chemistry on membrane fouling index such as Silt Density Index (SDI) and Modified Fouling Index (MFI). Specifically, Aldrich humic acids (AHA) and Suwannee river humic acids (SHA) were used in SDI/MFI experiments. Higher SDI values were observed with increasing organic concentration. AHA with larger molecular weight (MW) and SUVA (${\approx}UV_{254}/TOC$) resulted in higher SDI values, compared to SHA. The feed solution chemistry (i.e, pH, ionic strength, and hardness) also affects SDI values to some degree. In particular, SDI increased with increasing hardness ($Ca^{2+}$) concentration for AHA. Unlike SDI, the MFI developed on the basis of particle cake filtration theory, was not accurately assessed due to internal fouling by organics such as pore adsorption and subsequent pore blocking.

This paper describes the novel fabrication method of the high-aspect-ratio nano structure which is impossible by conventional method using a shadow mask and a Deep X-ray Lithography (DXRL). The shadow mask with $1{\mu}m-sized$ apertures is fabricated on the silicon membrane using a conventional UV-lithography. The size of aperture is reduced to 200nm by accumulated low stress silicon nitride using a LPCVD (low pressure chemical vapor deposition) process. The X-ray mask is fabricated by depositing absorber layer (Au, $3{\mu}m$) on the back side of nano shadow mask. The thickness of an absorber layer must deposit dozens micrometers to obtain contrast more than 100 for a conventional DXRL process. The thickness of $3{\mu}m-absorber$ layer can get sufficient contrast using a central beam stop method, blocking high energy X-rays. The nano circle and nano line, 200nm in diameter in width, respectively, were demonstrated 700nm in height with a negative photoresist of SU-8.

The nanoparticle magnetite of which diameter was about 3 nm was synthesized in a homogeneous aqueous solution without a template. The synthesized magnetite nanoparticle was easily oxidized to maghemite in an ambient condition. The magnetic properties of the ferrite nanoparticle show superparamagnetism at room temperature and its blocking temperature is around 93 K. Modifying the sequential adsorption method of metal bisphosphonate, we have prepared a multilayer thin film of the ferrite nanoparticle on planar substrates such as glass, quartz and Si wafer. In this multilayer the ferrite nanoparticle layer and an alkylbisphosphonate layer are alternately placed on the substrates by simple immersion in the solutions of the ferrite nanoparticle and 1, 10-decanediylbis (phosphonic acid) (DBPA), alternately. This is the first example, as far as we know, of nanoparticle/alkyl-bisphosphonate multilayer which is an analogy of metal bisphosphonate multilayer. UV-visible absorption and infrared reflection-absorption studies show that the growth of each layer is very systematic and the film is considerably optically transparent to visible light of 400-700 nm. Atomic force microscopic images of the film show that the surface morphology of the film follows that of the substrate in μm-scale image and the nanoparticle-terminated surface is differentiated from the DBPA-terminated one in nm-scale image. The magnetic properties of this ferrite/DBPA thin film are almost the same as those of the ferrite nanoparticle powder only.

The addition reactions of cysteine without blocking amino and carboxyl groups to substituted and unsubstituted ${\beta}$-nitro-styrene derivatives were investigated. ${\beta}$-Nitrostyrene(1a), p-methyl-${\beta}$-nitrostyrene(1b), 3,4,5-trimethoxy-$[\beta}$ -nitrostyrene(1c), $[\varpi}$-3,4-methylenedioxy-${\beta}$ -nitrostyrene(1d), o-, m- and p-chloro-${\beta}$ -nitrostyrene (1e, 1f, 1g) and o-, m- and p-methoxy-${\beta}$-nitrostyrene (1h, 1i, 1j) easily undergo addition reactions with cysteine to form S-(2-nitro-1-phenylethyl)-L-cysteine(3a), S-[2-nitro-1-(p-methyl)phenyl-ethyl]-L-cysteine(3b), S-[2-nitro-1-(3',4',5'-trimethoxy) phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3c), S-[2-nitro-1-($[\vatpi}$ -3',4'-methylenedioxy)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3d), S-[2-nitro-1-(o-chloro)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3e), S-[2-nitro-1-(m-chloro)-phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3f), S-[2-nitro-1-(p-chloro)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3g), S-[2-nitro-1-(o-methoxy)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3h), S-[2-nitro-1-(m-methoxy)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3i) and S-[2-nitro-1-(p-methoxy)phenylethyl]-L-cysteine(3j), respectively. The structure of adducts were confirmed by means of UV-spectrum, IR-spectrum, molecular weight measurement and elemental analysis. The various factors effecting the yield of cysteine adducts to ${\beta}$-nitrostyrene derivatives were also studied.

A highly transparent interfacial layer (HTIL) to enhance the performance of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) was prepared via a polymer-assisted (PA) approach. Poly(vinyl chloride)-graft-poly(oxyethylene methacrylate) (PVC-g-POEM) was synthesized via atom-transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) and was used as a sacrificial template. The PVC-g-POEM graft copolymer induced partial coordination of a hydrophilic titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) sol-gel solution with the POEM domain, resulting in microphase separation, and in turn, the generation of mesopores upon calcination. These phenomena were confirmed using Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy, UV-visible light transmittance spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The DSSCs incorporating HTIL60/20 (consisting of a top layer with a pore size of 60 nm and a bottom layer with a pore size of 20 nm) exhibited the best overall conversion efficiency (6.36%) among the tested samples, which was 25.9% higher than that of a conventional blocking layer (BL). DSSC was further characterized using the Nyquist plot and incident-photon to electron conversion efficiency (IPCE) spectra.

난분해성 및 독성 폐수 처리는 고급산화 기술과 생물학적 처리가 친화결합(intimate coupling) 을 이룰 때 최적의 효과를 거둘 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 광촉매 산화와 생물학적 처리를 친화결합하도록 고안된 다공성 $TiO_2$ 코팅 담체를 제조하여 광촉매 반응에 관한 동력학 연구를 수행하였다. 저온 sol-gel 코팅법으로 제조된 PVA 재질의 다공성 $TiO_2$ 담체는 UV 조사하에서 methylene blue (MB)를 효율적으로 분해하였다. 시험 농도(최대 100 ${\mu}M$)에서 MB의 흡착속도는 1차반응 (first-order reaction)의 성질을 보였으며, 흡착과 산화를 포함한 총반응속도는 유사 Langmuir 모델로 예측 가능하였다. 이러한 원인은 담체 표면에 MB가 흡착됨에 따라 UV 조사에 의하여 광촉매 반응이 일어날 표면이 줄어들었기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 다공성 $TiO_2$ 담체의 단위 $TiO_2$ 량당 최대 MB 제거속도는 슬러리 $TiO_2$ 반응기에서 얻은 MB 제거속도보다 4배 더 빨랐다. 본 연구로 인하여 저온 sol-gel 코팅법으로 제조한 PVA 재질 다공성 $TiO_2$ 담체가 성공적인 광분해 반응을 나타내는 것이 확인되었으며, 동 담체에 대한 광촉매 반응의 동력학적 성질이 구명되어, 향후 생물처리를 친화결합 시킬 수 있는 연구 바탕을 확보하였다.

자외선 및 블루영역 차단 기능을 갖는 화장품의 원료로 사용되기 위한 박막 판형의 ZnO 및 Fe₂O₃ 성분을 포함하는 인공 칼라민 세라믹 분말 소재를 합성하였다. 20 : 1에서 50 : 1 범위의 높은 종횡비를 가지는 (0001)면의 판형 ZnO 세라믹 분말 소재는 아연공기전지로 전력 생산한 후에 회수한 전해질을 출발 물질로 하여 징크아세테이트와 소듐시트레이트 혼합 용액에서 중화반응을 통한 석출로 합성하였다. 아이언 클로라이드 용액의 첨가량을 증가시키는 방법으로 인공 칼라민 세라믹 분말 내의 Fe₂O₃ 함량을 높일 수 있었으며, 이 경우 자외선뿐만 아니라 가시광선의 블루 영역을 일부 흡수하였다. 포타슘 아세테이트 용액을 첨가시킬 경우에는 Zn(OH)₄^2- 음이온의 분해를 촉진하여 (0001) 면 위에 수직 방향으로 격벽 형태로 성장한 박막을 얻을 수 있었는데, 이 경우 자외선을 흡수할 수 있는 기회가 증가하면서 자외선 흡수율이 증가하였다. 아이언 클로라이드 용액과 포타슘 아세테이트 용액의 첨가량을 함께 조절하면 박막 판형의 인공 칼라민 세라믹 분말의 조성 및 형상을 최적화시킬 수 있어서 화장품 제형을 진행할 경우 블루영역의 광투과도가 크게 감소하였다.
