목 적 : 본 연구는 colloid gel(slime)을 자체 제작하여, 방사선치료에서 불규칙한 환자 체표면에 대한 보상체로 적용하기 위하여 유용성을 평가하고자 한다. 대상 및 방법 : 본 연구를 위하여 치료에 적합한 colloid gel을 자체적으로 제작하였고, 방사선 치료 적용 가능성 평가를 위해 네 가지 실험을 하였다. 치료 장비 및 CT 장비로는 Trilogy(Varian)와 CT(SOMATOM, Siemens)를 이용하였다. 첫 번째로 colloid gel의 조성에 따른 균질도를 EBT3 Film(RIT)을 이용하여 측정하였다. 두 번째는 colloid gel의 Hounsfield Unit(HU)값을 CRIS phantom과 Eclipse RTP(Eclipse 13.1, Varian) 및 CT 촬영을 이용하여 선량 측정 및 확인을 하였다. 세 번째로 colloid gel의 치료 기간 내 변형 및 변질을 검사하기 위하여 ion chamber(PTW-30013, PTW)를 이용하여 매일 3회씩, 2주간 측정하였다. 네 번째 실험은 자체 제작한 아크릴 팬텀을 이용하여 실제 치료와 유사한 환경에서 bolus, rice, colloid gel을 이용한 치료계획 및 측정된 선량 분포 비교하였고, 추가적으로 dose profile도 확인하였다. 결 과 : 첫 번째 실험에서 조성된 colloid gel case 1, 2, 3의 밀도는 각각 평균 $1.02g/cm^3$, $0.99g/cm^3$, $0.96g/cm^3$이었으며, 6 MV 및 9 MeV에서 측정된 균질도를 판단하였을 때 case 1이 표준편차 1.55, 1.98로 다른 case들에 비해 더 균질한 것으로 확인되었다. 두 번째 실험에서는 HU값은 case 1, 2, 3 평균 15 HU로 확인되었으며, 치료계획과 측정된 선량을 비교하였을 때 9, 12 MeV 모든 측정 위치에서 1 % 이내 차이를 보였으며, 6 MV는 두 측정 위치에서 -1.53 %, -1.56 % 차이로 전체 2 % 내의 오차를 보였다. 세 번째 실험에서는 2주 동안 측정하였을 때 colloid gel의 선량변화가 1 % 내외로 측정되었다. 네 번째 실험에서는 치료계획과 EBT3 film으로 측정된 결과를 비교하였을 때 6 MV에서는 bolus, rice 모두 비슷한 선량 차이를 보였으며, 9 MeV에서는 photon과 달리 colloid gel이 bolus, rice와 비교하여 선량 차이가 적게 나는 것을 확인하였다. Dose profile 면에서도 colloid gel이 bolus, rice보다 균일한 dose 분포를 보였다. 결 론 : 본 연구에서 방사선치료를 위해 제작된 colloid gel의 밀도는 $1.02g/cm^3$로 물의 밀도와 비슷하며, 방사선치료 과정 동안 변질 및 변형이 확인되지 않았다. Colloid gel 제작 시 밀도에 유의를 해야 하지만, bolus, rice보다 환자의 체표면에 대한 충분한 보상을 통해 선량을 균일하게 전달할 수 있고, 저가에 제작을 할 수 있다는 점에서도 충분한 장점이 있다. 앞으로 임상적용을 위한 추가적인 실험 및 연구를 통해 방사선치료에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

Nanosized titanium-colloid particles were prepared by sol-gel method. The physical properties, such as thermal stability, crystallite size and crystallinity according to synthesis condition have been investigated by TEM, XRD, SEM, TGA and DTA. In addition, Zinc phosphating has been studied in order to compare the phosphating characterization of prepared nanosized titanium-colloid particles. The major phase of all the prepared titanium-colloid particles was an amorphous structure regardless of synthesis temperature and the structure was composed of phoshate complex and titanium. The micrographs of HR- TEM showed that nanosized titanium-colloid particles possessed a spherical morphology with a narrow size distribution. The crystallite size of the titanium-colloid particles synthesized at 80℃ was 4-5 nm and increased to 8-10 nm with an increase of synthesis temperature (150℃). In addition, the coating weight increased with an increase of temperature of phosphating solution and when the concentration of titanium-colloid was 2.0 g/l, the coating weight was 1.0 g/㎡.

With nano-$SiO_2$ and sulphate acid, a kind of colloid electrolyte is synthesized by sol-gel method. It is placed outside the reference electrode as a layer of gel electrolyte so as to decrease the leaching of $Cu^{2+}$ and increase the life of the reference electrode. The performance of the gel electrode in simulating soil solution is measured as follows: the potential of the electrodes ranging from 60 mV to 80 mV (vs. SCE) with potential variation no more than $\pm10mV$, enough resistance to polarization. The $Cu^{2+}$ effusion rate of the reference electrode without gel electrolyte is 3 times that with colloid electrolyte, which means that gel electrolyte can extend the life of the reference electrode significantly.

Herein, macroporous carbon materials were readily prepared by carbonization of cured body of resorcinol and formaldehyde using poly(methyl methacrylate) colloid microspheres which were employed as the template in the gelation of resorcinol with formaldehyde. The gel in the water was solvent exchanged with methanol and the wet gel was dried. After carbonization of the template-gel composite at $800^{\circ}C$, it was found that pores were left corresponding to the size of the template, yielding carbon materials with a fine porous structure with enlarged surface area and significant porosity. Properties of the carbon foams including the structure, morphology, thermal stability, and porosity were investigated. Finally, it was concluded that the method using polymer colloids as the template provided a facile route to prepare carbon foams.

A series of amphiphilic graft copolymers were synthesized by varying the number of graft chains and graft chain lengths. The polarity of the hydrophobic graft chain on the copolymers was varied their solution properties. The glass transition temperature of the copolymers was in the low-temperature region, because of the amorphous nature of poly (trimethylene carbonate) (PTMC). The surface morphology of the lyophilized colloid gel had a bundle structure, which was derived from the combination of poly(N-hydroxyethylacrylamide)( poly(HEAA)) and PTMC. The solution properties were evaluated using dynamic light scattering and fluorescence measurements. The particle size of the graft copolymers was about 30-300 nm. The graft copolymers with a higher number of repeating units attributed to the TMC (trimethylene carbonate) component and with a lower macromonomer ratio showed high thermal stability. The critical association concentration was estimated to be between $2.2{\times}10^{-3}$ and $8.9{\times}10^{-2}mg/mL$, using the pyrene-based fluorescence probe technique. These results showed that the hydrophobic chain of the graft copolymer having a long PTMC segment had a low polarity, dependent on the number of repeating units of TMC and the macromonomer composition ratio. These results demonstrated that a higher number of repeating units of TMC, with a lower macromonomer composition, was preferable for molecular encapsulation.

Uniform ZrO₂ nanoballs were synthesized at 700℃ using the inverse replication method through a colloid-imprinted carbon (CIC) template. The structural, dielectric, and conducting properties of the ZrO₂ nanoballs were investigated and compared with those of ZrO₂ film prepared by sol-gel method and powdered ZrO₂ chemical. Both the monoclinic and cubic phases were found in the ZrO₂ balls and film but the ZrO₂ chemical showed a monoclinic phase, where the cubic structure is known to be formed at above 2,300℃. ZrO₂ nanoballs showed the lower dielectric property of k = 21.2 at 1 MHz because the 8-coordinated cubic phase in the ZrO₂ nanoball produced lower polarization than the polarization of the 7-coordinated monoclinic ZrO₂ chemical (k = 23.6). The dielectric stability was maintained in each ZrO₂ ball, film, and chemical under the applied forward and reverse voltage range (−5 to +5 V) at 1 MHz. The ionic conductivities were 7.86 × 10⁻⁸/Ω·cm for ZrO₂ nanoballs, 3.29 × 10⁻⁸/Ω·cm for ZrO₂ chemical, and 6.70 × 10⁻⁵/Ω·cm for the thickness of 1,053 nm ZrO₂ film at room temperature with the electronic contribution being less than 0.006%.

Sol-gel법으로 고온 초전도체인 $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-{\sigma}}$의 세선을 제작하였다. Y, Ba, Cu 질산염을 1:2:3의 몰비로 수용액을 제조한 후 구연산 수용액을 첨가하고, 암모니아 수용액을 첨가하여 pH를 $5.8{\sim}6.2$로 조절함으로써 균일한 colloid sol을 제조할 수 있었다. 이를 358K 로 가열하면 점차 점도가 증가하면서 gel화 반응이 진행되고 이 gel화 반응이 완결되기 전에 구연산염 precursor gel fiber를 임의의 길이 및 두께로 뽑을 수 있었다. 이 precursor를 1223K, $Po_2$=1atm. 하에서 8시간 열처리한 후 723K로 서냉하고 13시간 동안 annealing 하여 약 95K에서 전기저항이 급격히 감소($T_c$, onset), 약 82K에서는 저항 0($T_c$, offset)을 나타내었고 액체질소 비등점에서 Meissner-effect를 보임으로써 초전도체 임을 확인하였다.

Polysulfone은 물리적, 화학적 성질이 우수한 재질로 분리막의 소재로 많이 이용되고 있다. 대부분의 막이 sieving mechanism에 기초를 두고 있기 때문에, 크기가 비슷한 물질의 혼합물일 경우는 분리할 수가 없다. 그러나 고정된 전하를 가지고 있는 Polysulfone 하전막을 제조하여, 전기적 효과에 의해서 전하를 띠는 물질과 중성인 물질을 분리해 낼 수 있다. 또한 하전막은 막과 동일한 전하를 가지고 있는 물질과 colloid를 배제하여 막표면에 gel layer가 형성되는 것을 방지하여 fouling을 감소시킬 수 있다.

The maximum adsorption/desorption conditions and the adsorption mechanism of globular proteins to vaccine adjuvants were determined. The maximum adsorption ratio of protein to the $Al^{3+}$ content of aluminum oxyhydroxide and the optimal adsorption pH are 2:1 (${\mu}g:{\mu}g$) for bovine serum albumin (BSA) at pH 6.0 and 2.5:1 (${\mu}g:{\mu}g$) for immunoglobulin G (IgG) at pH 7.0, respectively. The maximum adsorption ratio onto aluminum phosphate gel was 1.5:1 (${\mu}g$ Protein:${\mu}g$ $Al^{3+}$) at pH 5.0 for both BSA and IgG. Adsorption of the native globular proteins, BSA and IgG, to aluminum oxyhydroxide and aluminum phosphate gel was reversible as a function of pH. Complete desorption of these proteins from aluminum phosphate gel was observed at alkaline pH, whereas only 80~90% removal from aluminum oxyhydroxide was achieved with alkaline pH and 50 mM phosphate buffer. We conclude that electrostatic and hydrogen bonding interactions between the native proteins and adjuvants are important binding mechanisms for adsorption, and that the surface charge of the protein and the colloid components control the maximum adsorption conditions.

Dispersion and flocculation behaviors of clay-ash powders in a slurry state were examined, and we have systematically investigated the effects of colloid/interfaces variables on slip properties and the rheological behavior of ash-clay slurry. Ash-clay slurries have been characterized on the basis of the time dependent rheology which was done out by the gel-curve test. Gel-curve for the coagulated slip shows interesting rheological behavior which was caused by the formation of the new network structure and the readsoption of the polysilicon hydroxo species on the particle surfaces.
