Ambient drying sol-gel processing was used for monolithic silica ambigels in the temperature range of $130-250^{\circ}C$. A new method of mesopore ambigels, which mean the aerogels prepared by ambient pressure drying process synthesis, is suggested at first. This method includes two important approaches. The first point is that $SiO_{2}$ surface modification of wet gel was performed by trimethylchlorosilane in n-butanol solution. This procedure is provided the silica gel mesopore structure formation. The second point is a creation of the ternary azeotropic mixture water/n-butanol/octane as porous liquid, which is effectively provided removing of water such a low temperature by 2 step drying condition under ambient pressure. The silica aerogels, which were prepared by ambient pressure drying from azeotropic mixture of water/n-butanol/octane, are transparent, crack-free and mesoporous (pore size ${\sim}$ 5.6 nm) with surface area of ${\sim}$ $923{\;}m^2/g$, bulk density of $0.4{\;}g/cm^3$ and porosity of 85 %.

실리카겔의 열처리 온도에 따른 1,2-dichlorobenzene의 흡착 특성을 모멘트 법으로 고찰하였다. 실리카겔의 열처리 온도는 150, 500, $800^{\circ}C$로 변화시켰으며 고정층 반응기를 사용하여 TCD (Thermal Conductivity Detector)가 장착된 기체크로마토 그래프에서 1,2-dichlorobenzene의 펄스 응답곡선을 측정하였다. 1,2-dichlorobenzene의 평형흡착상수와 표면 흡착열은 열처리 온도 $500^{\circ}C$에서 가장 높은 값을 나타내었다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 실리카겔 표면의 수분과 OH 작용기가 제거되어 1,2-dichlorobenzene과의 상호작용이 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 고온인 $800^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 실리카겔은 비표면적이 감소하여 평형흡착상수와 흡착열, 모두 감소한 것으로 사료된다. 모멘트 해석으로 계산된 축분산 계수는 $0.046{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}1.033{\times}10^{-4}m^2/sec$였으며 기공 내의 확산계수는 $500^{\circ}C$ 열처리 실리카겔에서 가장 낮은 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 염료 태양전지(Dye-sensitized solar cells; DSCs)에 적용하기 위한 나노-다공질의 FTO(F:$SnO_2$) 재료를 Sol-gel 연소법을 이용하여 다양한 열처리 온도를 변수로 제작하였으며, 각각의 결과물들에 대한 물성적 특성을 고찰하였다. FTO nano-powder는 SnCl4-98.0[%]와 HF-$48{\sim}51$[%]가 교반된 것에 NH4OH를 Sol-gel법의 촉매로 사용하였고, 첨가재로써 Ketjen Black을 사용하였다. 얻어진 결과물에 대한 XRD 측정 결과, 열처리 온도가 상승함에 따라 $SnO_2$의 회절각인 25.6[$^{\circ}$]($2{\Theta}$) 부근에서 강한 peak값이 나타났다. XPS 측정 결과에 의하면, 각각의 F1s, Sn 3d, O 1s의 binding energy는 682, 484, 528[eV]에서 광전자 피크가 확인되었다. 열처리 온도가 증가함에 따라 표면적이 감소하며, pore size는 증가함을 BET측정 결과로 알 수 있었다. 본 실험을 통해 열처리 온도조절에 따른 나노-다공성 FTO powder의 특성제어가 용이함이 확인되었고, Sol-gel 연소법에 의한 간단하고 효과적인 방법으로 나노-다공성 소재의 제작이 가능하여, DSCs의 응용에도 유용할 것으로 기대된다.

Coconut based activated carbon and silica-gels were impregnated with 3-aminopropyltri ethoxysilan(APS) and N-(2-aminoethyl)-3-aminopropyl triethoxysilane (AEAPS) in order to investigate the effect of the amine group and the pore size of the supports on the removal of hydrogen cyanide(HCN) and aldehydes in mainstream smoke(MS). The physicochemical properties of the supports were analyzed by using thermal gravity analyzer(TGA), $N_2$ adsorption and desorption isotherms$(BET,\;N_2)$, and SEM-EDS. According to our experimental data, there was no significant difference in the delivery amount of HCN and aldehydes of non-functionalized silica-gels having meso-pores bigger than $20\AA$. In the case of silica-gels functionalized with APS(APS silica-gel), the delivery amounts of hydrogen cyanide(HCN) and aldehydes decreased with the increase of APS concentration. Silica-gel functionalized with AEAPS(AEAPS silica-gel) showed higher removal efficiency than that of APS silica-gels. The delivery amounts of HCN and aldehydes of activated carbon impregnated with APS and AEAPS increased with the increase of the APS and AEAPS concentrations. In accordance with the specific surface area analysis results, APS and AEAPS molecules decreased the specific surface area by blocking the micro-pores of the activated carbon. The volatile organic components removal efficiency by the micro-pores was higher than that of the amine group impregnated into the activated carbon.

NiTi alloy is widely used innumerous biomedical applications (orthodontics, cardiovascular, orthopaedics, etc.) for its distinctive thermomechanical and mechanical properties such as shape memory effect, super elasticity, low elastic modulus and high damping capacity. However, NiTi alloy is still a controversial biomaterial because of its high Ni content which can trigger the risk of allergy and adverse reactions when Ni ion releases into the human body. In order to improve the corrosion resistance of the TiNi alloy and suppress the release of Ni ions, many surface modification techniques have been employed in previous literature such as thermal oxidation, laser surface treatment, sol-gel method, anodic oxidation and electrochemical methods. In this paper, the NiTi was electrochemically etched in various electrolytes to modify surface. The microstructure, element distribution, phase composition and roughness of the surface were investigatedby scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy-dispersive X-ray spectrometry(EDS), X-ray diffractometry (XRD) and atomic force microscopy (AFM). Systematic controlling of nano and submicron surface features was achieved by altered density of hydro fluidic acid in etchant solution. Nanoscale surface topography, such as, pore density, pore width, pore height, surface roughness and surface tension were extensively analyzed as systematical variables.Importantly, bone forming cell, osteoblast adhesion was increased in high density of hydro fluidic treated surface structures, i.e., in greater nanoscale surface roughness and in high surface areas through increasing pore densities.All results delineate the importance of surface topography parameter (pores) inNiTi to increase the biocompatibility of NiTi in identical chemistry which is crucial factor for determining biomaterials.

타르, 니코틴 등 몇 가지 연초 에어로솔 성분의 흡착거동을 해석한 결과 비교적 저비점 피흡착질의 흡착률은 축적 동공부피의 증가와 더불어 증가하였다. 반면 비교적 고비점 피흡착질의 흡착률은 보다 작은 반경의 동공부피가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 여기에 사용된 흡착제는 활성탄, 실리카겔, 알루미나 및 활성백토이었다. 비표면적이 큰 흡착제가 보다 큰 흡착률을 가진다는 일반적인 경향은 고비점 피흡착질에 대해서는 성립되지 않았다. 이상의 결과는 위의 흡착거동을 탈착등온식을 기초로 하여 동공부피분포와 관련시켜 검토하므로써 얻어진 것이다.

MnO2 can be potentially utilized as an electrode material for redox capacitors. The deposition of MnO2 with poor electrical conductivity onto porous carbons supplies them with additional conductive paths; as a result, the capacitance of the electrical double layer formed on the porous carbon surface can be utilized together with the redox capacitance of MnO2. However, the obtained composites are not generally suitable for industrial production because they require the use of expensive porous carbons and/or inefficient fabrication methods. Thus, to develop an effective preparation procedure of the composite, a suitable structure of porous carbons must be determined. In this study, MnO2/C composites have been prepared from activated carbon gels with various pore sizes, and their electrical properties are investigated via cyclic voltammetry. In particular, mesoporous carbons with a pore size of around 20 nm form a composite with a relatively low capacitance (98 F/g-composite) and poor rate performance despite the moderate redox capacitance obtained for MnO2 (313 F/g-MnO2). On the other hand, using macro-porous carbons with a pore size of around 60 nm increases the MnO2 redox capacitance (399 F/g-MnO2) as well as the capacitance and rate performance of the entire material (203 F/g-composite). The obtained results can be used in the industrial manufacturing of MnO2/C composites for supercapacitor electrodes from the commercially available porous carbons.

We manufactured PVA-derived hydrogels using a foam generation technique that has been widely used to prepare colloidal gas aphrons(CGA). These gels were differentiated to the conventional gels such as for medical or pharmaceutical applications, which have tiny pores and some crystalline structure. Rather these should be used in de-pollution devices or adhesion of cells or biomolecules. The crosslinkers used in this work were amino acid, organic acid, sugars and lipids(vitamins). The structures of the gels were observed in a scanned electron microscope. Amino acids gels showed remarkably higher swelling ratios probably because their typical functional groups help constructing a highly crosslinked network along with hydrogen bonds. Boric acid and starch would catalyze dehydration while structuring to result in much lower water content and accordingly high gel content, leading to less elastic, hard gels. Bulky materials such as ascorbic acid or starch produced, in general, large pores in the matrices and also nicotinamide, having large hydrophobic patches was likely to enlarge pore size of its gels as well since the hydrophobicity would expel water molecules, thus leading to reduced swelling. Hydrophilicity(or hydrophobicity), functional groups which are involved in the reaction or physical linkage, and bulkiness of crosslinkers were found to be more critical to gel's cross linking structure and its density than molecular weights that seemed to be closely related to pore sizes. Microscopic observation revealed that pores were more or less homogeneous and their average sizes were $20{\mu}m$ for methionine, $10-15{\mu}m$ for citric acid, $50-70{\mu}m$ for L-ascorbic acid, $30-40{\mu}m$ for nicotinamide, and $70-80{\mu}m$ for starch. Also a sensory test showed that amino acid and glucose gels were more elastic meanwhile acid and nicotinamide gels turned out to be brittle or non-elastic at their high concentrations. The elasticity of a gel was reasonably correlated with its water content or swelling ratio. In addition, the PVA gel including 20% ascorbic acid showed fair ability of cell adherence as 0.257mg/g-hydrogel and completely degraded phenanthrene(10 mM) in 240 h.
