Randomly patterned and wet chemical etching processes were used to treat anti-glare of display cover glasses. The surface and optical properties of grain size and surface morphology controlled by randomly patterned etching and wet chemical solution etching were investigated. The surface morphology and roughness of the etched samples were examined using a spectrophotometer and a portable surface roughness (Ra) measuring instrument, respectively. The gloss caused by reflection from the glass surface was measured at $60^{\circ}$ using a gloss meter. The surface of the sample etched by the doctor-blade process was more uniform than that obtained from a screen pattern etching process at gel state etching process of the first step. The surface roughness obtained from the randomly patterned etching process depended greatly on the mesh size, which in turn affected the grain size and pattern formation. The surface morphology and gloss obtained by the etching process in the second step depended primarily on the mesh size of the gel state etching process of the first step. In our experimental range, the gloss increased on decreasing the grain size at a lower mesh size for the first step process and for longer reaction times for the second step process.

We have studied superhydrophilic properties of TiO₂thin films in relation with those crystal structures due to the heat treatments. Thin films were fabricated on Si (100) wafers using a conventional Sol-Gel method. Following drying and sintering processes, TiO₂film had an anatase phase with additional heat treatment at 500℃, an rutile phase at 1000℃, and a mixture of anatase and rutile phase at 750℃. All these films got hydrophilic even without any UV illumination. Especially the sample treated at 750℃ had a superhydrophilic contact angle of 5°. We suggested that the superhydrophilic films should have a mixture of anatase and rutile phase for the best performance. The hydrophilic TiO₂films were slowly degraded into the hydrophobic state in the dark room but quickly recovered back with les than 1 hour of UV illumination.

In this study, Ultraviolet (UV) curable urethane acrylates for ink binder was prepared by reaction of IPDI, polyether polyol and HEA. The UV curing behavior of compositions with HEA/PETA ratio on UV irradiation time was investigated by FT-IR spectrophotometer, probe tack tester and Photo-DSC. Conversion % and gel content were increased with increasing UV irradiation time, but probe tack was decreased. Storage modulus, tensile strength and decomposition temperature were increased as PETA content increased. In case of HEA/PETA ratio was 30/70, adhesion property of UV-cured composition on PMMA sheet was excellent.

Nanostructured spinel NiZn ferrites were prepared by the sol-gel method from metal nitrate raw materials. Analyses by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy showed the average particle size of NiZn ferrite was under 50 nm. The single phase of NiZn ferrites was obtained by firing at 250${\circ}C$, resulting in nanoparticles exhibiting normal ferrimagnetic behavior. The nanostructured $Ni_{1-X}Zn_XFe_2O_4$ (x=0.0∼1.0) were found to have the cubic spinel structure of which the lattice constants ${\alpha}_2$ increases linearly from 8.339 to 8.427 ${\AA}$ with increasing Zn content x, following Vegard's law, approximately. The saturation magnetization $M_s$ was 48 emu/g for x=0.4 and decreased to 8.0 emu/g for higher Zn contents suggesting the typical ferrimagnetism in mixed spinel ferrites. Pure NiZn ferrite phase substituted by Cu was observed before using the additive but hematite phase was partially appeared at $Ni_{0.2}Zn_{0.2}Cu_{0.6}Fe_2O_4$. On the other hand, the hematite phase in this NiZn Cu ferrite was disappeared after using the additive of acethyl aceton with small amount. The saturation magnetization Ms of $Ni_{0.2}Zn_{0.8-y}Cu_yFe_2O_4$(y=0.2∼0.6) as measured was about 51 emu/g at 77K and 19 emu/g at room temperature, respectively.

Acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives are used in many different parts in the world. But acrylic acid in PSAs may occur unexpected results such as corroding adherends or producing by-products when applied within electronic devices. This study employed acrylic PSAs based on 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA), 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate (2-HEA) and butyl acrylate (BA) with different coating thickness. There are two types of curing agents. One is methylaziridine derivative (MAZ) and the other is aluminum acetylacetonate (AlACA). This study examined the adhesion performance and curing behaviors using peel strength, probe tack and gel fraction. Also, the viscoelastic properties of acrylic PSAs were investigated from Advanced rheometric expansion system (ARES).

Myrosinase from Korean cabbage(Bogdoli) was purified and its enzymatic properties were investigated. Myrosinase from the Korean cabbage was purified by DEAE Bio-Gel Sepharose, Concanavalin-A, and Mono-Q column chromatography and exhibited a 55KD molecular weight with a single band on the gel of SDS-PAGE. The enzyme was purified about 21-fold compared to its crude enzyme and a specific activity of purified enzyme was 15, 120units/mg. Optimum pH of the myrosinase was 7.0 in both phosphate and Tris-HCl buffer solutions, the enzyme was stable at pH 6.5~7.0. Optimum temperature of enzyme was 37~38$^{\circ}C$. The enzyme activity was significantly inhibited by Cu2+ and Hg2+, but enhanced by ascorbic acid, resulting in a maximum activity at 1mM ascorbic acid. Among the ascorbic acid analogues, dehydro-ascorbic acid did not affect, whereas others showed a little effect on the enzyme activity, but less than ascorbic acid itself. Reducing agents such as 2-mercaptoethanol and dithiothreitol had no effect on the enzyme activity, but the enzyme activity was enhanced when 2-mercaptoethanol was mixed with ascorbic acid.

In an effort to overcome the weakness of aerogel, polymer aerogels have been prepared by copolymerizing the different types of monomers through sol-gel process. Polymerizing the successive phase of a high internal phase emulsion, which has interconnected porous structure, porous polymer aerogel can be manufactured. In this paper, we use the styrene/divinylbenzene chain as a basic monomer structure, and additionally use 2-ethylhexyl methacrylate (2-EHMA) or 2-ethylhexyl acrylate (2-EHA) as monomers for distinguishing the visible mechanical properties of synthesized polymer aerogel. We can observe the different tendency of polymer aerogels by kinds of monomer or ratio. Flexibility and microstructure can be changed by the types of monomer. EHA polymer aerogel shows high flexibility and thin microstructure, and EHMA polymer aerogel shows high hardness and thick microstructure. EHA/EHMA polymer aerogel shows the intermediate nature between them. By utilizing the mechanical properties of three types of polymer aerogels to adequate situation or environment, polymer aerogels could be used as drug agent, ion exchange resin, oil filter and insulator, and so on.

$LiCoO_2$ powder was synthesized by Sol-Gel method using inorganic materials. The starting materials, $CH_3COOLi^*2H_2O\;and\;Co(CH_3COO)_2{^*}4H_2O$, were mixed in the atomic ratio Li/Co of 1 and dissolved in i-propanol with acetic acid. The solution was dried for gelation, and finally obtained the pre-powder. The pre-powder were studied by thermal analysis. Based on the TGA result, heat treatment was performed at various temperature(500 to $800^{\circ}C$) for 2h in air atmosphere. The crystal structure, morphology, electrochemical property were carried out using XRD, SEM, cyclic voltammetry(CV).

Polyurethane modified acrylate $(PUA)/SiO_2$ hybrid films were prepared by ultraviolet curing and their surface properties were investigated by hardness and adhesion test. The films were examined by the manipulation of mole-ratio of organic to inorganic components. Under the silica content controlled, highly desirable films were achieved and scratch resistance and hardness property of film were also enhanced, which indicates that the crosslinked silica particles are homogeneously dispersed within PUA film.
