Ultra fine titanium carbide particles were synthesized by novel metallic thermo-reduction process. The vaporized TiC1$_4$+$CCl_4$ gases were reacted with liquid magnesium and the fine titanium carbide particles were then produced by combining the released titanium and carbon atoms. The vacuum treatment was followed to remove the residual phases of MgC1$_2$ and excess Mg. The stoichiometry, microstructure, fixed and carbon contents and lattice parameter were investigated in titanium carbide powders produced in various reaction parameters.

The ultra-fine and less agglomerated titanium carbonitride particles were successfully synthesized by magnesiothermic reduction with low feeding rate of $TiCl_4+1/4C_2Cl_4$ solution. The sub-stoichiometric titanium carbide ($TiC_{0.5{\sim}0.6}$) particles were produced by reduction of chlorine component by liquid magnesium at $800^{\circ}C$ of gaseous $TiCl_4+1/4C_2Cl_4$ and the heat treatments in vacuum were performed for 5 hours to remove the residual magnesium and magnesium chloride mixed with produced $TiC_{{\sim}0.5}$. The final $TiC_{{\sim}0.5}N_{0{\sim}0.5}$ particle with near 100 nm in mean size and high specific surface area of $65m^2/g$ was obtained by nitrification under nitrogen gas at $1,150^{\circ}C$ for 2 hrs.

This study uses traditional alum coagulation and sedimentation process to treat CMP wastewater from cleaning after polishing. The primary goal is to successfully recycle both solid fines and water for semiconductor manufacturing. Results indicated that CMP wastewater may be successfully treated to recover clean water and fine particles by alum coagulation. The optimum operating conditions for coagulation are as fellowing: alum dosage of 10 ppm, pH at 5, rapid mixing speed at 800 rpm, 5 min rapid mixing time, and long slow mixing time. The treated water with low turbidity and an average residual aluminum ion concentration of 0.23 ppm may be considered for reuse. The settled sludge after alum coagulation contains mainly SiO$_2$particle with a minor content of aluminum (1.7 wt%) may be considered as raw materials for glass and ceramic industry.

SiC ultrafine particles of 1, 10, 20 and 30 vol% were dispersed in $\alpha$-Si3N4 matrix and hot-pressed under the condition of 30 MPa at 1800 and 190$0^{\circ}C$ respectively. Physical, mechanical properties and microstructures of sintered Si3N4-SiC nanocomposites were investigated. Flexural strength and density of Si3N4-10 vol% SiC nanocomposites hot-pressed at 190$0^{\circ}C$ represented the 1002 MPa and 97.9%T.D respectively, and it was confirmed as a remarkable improvement of 67% compared to Si3N4 monolith. Fracture toughness was shown as 7.2 MPa.m1/2 when the same composition was hot pressed at 180$0^{\circ}C$. This effect was supposed to be due to the improvement of microstructure by the adequate suppression of the excessive growth of Si3N4 grain with SiC nano-particles.

Phenanthrene, one of the polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons, has been known to be toxic to the environment. In this investigation, the protective effect of red ginseng on phenanthrene-induced oxidative DNA damage was evaluated using Comet assay in A549 cells. Red ginseng's cytoprotective effect on phenanthrene-induced hemolysis was also investigated. This study's findings show that oxidative DNA damage and hemolysis were significantly prevented by red ginseng treatment. Notably, it was found that pulverizing red ginseng into ultra-fine particles even enhanced its protective effects against DNA damage and hemolysis. The results suggest that particle size reduction seems to effectively enhance red ginseng's pharmacological efficacies.

In this study, the WC-10 wt.%Co nanopowders doped by grain growth inhibiter were produced by three different methods based on the spray conversion process. Agglomerated powders with homeogenous distribution of alloying elements and with internal particles of about 100-200 nm in diameter were synthesized. The microstructural changes and sintering behavior of hardmetal compacts were compared with doping method and sintering conditions. The microstructure of hardmetals was very sensitive to doping methods of inhibitor. Nanostructured WC-Co hardmetal powder compacts containing TaC/VC doped by chemical method instead of ball-milling shown superior sintering densification, and the microstructure maintained ultrafine scale with rounded WC particles.

We enhanced the sensitivity of surface plasmon resonance biosensor by the conversion of the real-time direct binding immunoassay into the sandwich immunoassay, in which colloidal gold particles coated with anti-mouse IgG was used. By the immobilization of anti-mouse IgG onto the carboxymethyl dextran surface of thin gold film, the direct binding of analyte(mouse IgG) onto the sensor chip, and the injection of colloidal gold particles coated with anti-mouse IgG, about 100 times of sensitivity enhancement was obtained. This result suggests that nanoparticles, which has a high refractive index, homogeneous ultrafine structure and capability of size control, would be applicable for the detection of very small quantity of biomaterial.

자기 Fe-Co(C)나노(nano)캡슐과 Fe-Co 나노입자들이 메탄과 혼합기체($H_2$+Ar) 두 종류의 분위기속에서 각각 아크방전으로 제조되었다. 이 두 종류의 초미세 입자들의 특성과 자기적 성질들을 XRD(X-ray Diffraction), Mossbauer 분광, XPS(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy), TEM(transmission Electron Microscopy), EDS(Energy Disperse Spectroscopy), 화학적 분석, 산소량 측정과 자기 측정 등을 통하여 체계적으로 조사하였다. 메탄기체로부터 분해되어 나온 탄소원소가 미세입자들의 상구조, 자기적 상태 그리고 표면 특성들에 끼치는 효과를 아르곤원소를 사용했을 때와 비교하였다. 두 미세입자에서의 Fe/Co 질량비가 약간 다르게 나타났으며 Fe-Co나노입자의 크기가 Fe-Co(C)나노캡슬보다 약 두배였다. 또한 Fe-Co(C)나노캡슐의 포화자화값이 Fe-Co 나노입자보다 약 8% 높았으며 둘 다 유사한 상구조를 보였다. 핵 표면에 쌓인 껍질들이 매우 얇아 XRD측정으로는 그 존재를 탐지하기 어려웠으나 XPS분석을 통하여 그들이 탄소층과 산소층임을 결론지을 수 있었다.

물분자와 전리방사선과의 상호작용에 의하여 생성된 방사능극소입자에 관한 많은 연구결과가 보고되어 왔으며, 특히 이전 연구에서는 물분자의 방사성분해에 의해 발생한 수산화라디칼의 높은 농도는, 유기물기체와 같은 실내기체와 반응즉시 낮은 증기압의 화학물로 변하여 극소입자가 된다고 알려져 왔다. 본 연구에서는, 라돈의 첫째딸핵종인 Po-218에 대한 물분자와의 의존성을 조사할 목적으로, 실내기체의 최적제어가 가능한 라돈챔버를 사용하여 일련의 실험들을 수행하였다. 특별히 설계 제작된 평행등급 금속망필터시스템을 사용하여, 서로 다른 습도조건하에서 0.5-100nm 크기의 라돈딸핵종에 대한 방사능크기분포도가 얻어졌으며, 그 결과가 분석되었다. 라든가스챔버내에 수증기분자의 첨가와 동 수증기분자의 방사성분해에 의하여 생성된 수산화라디칼에 의한 극소입자들의 형성을 확인하였는데 이는 수증기의 방사성분해과정에서 Po-218이온과 수증기분자 사이에 중화과정 때문인 것으로 밝혀졌다.

The Seoul metropolitan government has installed soundproofing walls in road tunnels to improve the tunnel environment for pedestrians. To evaluate the efficiency of these soundproofing walls, we measured noise levels and concentrations of $PM_{2.5}$ and ultrafine particles (UFP) in tunnels with or without these walls. Although noise and UFP levels were significantly lower in the tunnels with soundproofing walls, $PM_{2.5}$ levels were significantly higher: but were significantly lowered by use of a ventilation system. When $PM_{2.5}$ and noise levels were simultaneously measured in a tunnel with soundproofing wall, noise level was significantly reduced but $PM_{2.5}$ level was significantly higher. It is concluded that the soundproofing wall can protect pedestrians from noise, but not PM. Installation of a ventilation system is recommended for protection of pedestrians in tunnels with soundproofing walls.
