We fabricated polymeric hollow spheres having macropores, which combine the advantageous properties of porous materials and hollow spheres. To fabricate such spheres, a polystyrene/methylmethacrylate solution was dispersed in water by vigorously stirring and then the suspension was quenched using liquid nitrogen. Water and methyl methacrylate present in the quenched suspension were readily sublimated by freeze-drying. Conclusively, the hollow-sphere structure and the macropores of its shell were created by the processes of liquid nitrogen-quenching and sublimation of methyl methacrylate domains within the shell, respectively.

Dual porous structures are observed for the first time on a metallic Cu surface underneath anodic Cu oxide by the application of an anodizing voltage to Cu in oxalic acid. The as-prepared porous Cu surface contains macropores of less than $1{\mu}m$ diameter and mesopores of about tens of nanometers diameter with circular shapes. The size and density (number of pores/area) of the macropores are dependent on the applied voltage. It is likely that the localized dissolution (corrosion) of Cu in oxalic acid under the anodizing voltages is responsible for the formation of the mesopores, and the combination of a number of the mesopores might create the macropores, especially under a relatively high anodizing voltages or a prolonged anodizing time. The variations of pore structure (especailly macropores) with applied voltage and time are reasonably explained on the basis of the proposed mechanism of pore formation.

A reaction mixture was developed for formation of soft organic monolith that was easily smashed, rinsed, refluxed, filtered, and dried to give monolith particles having high pore volume of macropores. This phase was almost without mesopores. The reaction mixture was composed of methacrylic acid, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate, polyethylene glycol (porogen), and an initiator in a mixed solvent of toluene and isooctane. The selection of porogen and its amount was carefully carried out to obtain the optimized separation efficiency of the resultant phase. The median macropore size was 1.6 ${\mu}m$, and the total pore volume was 3.0-3.4 mL/g. The median particle size (volume based) was 15 ${\mu}m$, and the range of particle size distribution was very broad. Nevertheless the column (1 ${\times}$ 300 mm) packed with this phase showed good separation efficiency (N~10,000-16,000) comparable to that of a commercial column packed with 5 ${\mu}m$ C18 silica particles.

Tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS)로부터 유도된 동결건조 실리카 젤의 기공구조에 미치는 하소온도의 영향이 질소 등온흡착 및 수은압입법에 의하여 조사되었다. 동결건조물은 다소간의 마이크로기공을 함유하고 있었으나 주로 4~6nm 크기의 매크로기공 및 7~20$\mu\textrm{m}$ 크기의 매크로기공으로 구성되어 있었다. 하소온도의 증가에 따른 기공구조변화는 치밀화 정도에 의존하였다.

A porous $\alpha$-alumina tube of 2.5 mm O.D. and 1.9 mm I.D. was used as the support of an inorganic membrane. Macropores of the tube, about 150 nm in size, were plugged with silica formed by thermal decomposition of tetraethylorthosilicate at $600^{\circ}C$. The forced cross-flow CVD method that reactant was evacuated through the porous wall of the support was very effective in plugging macropores. The H$_2$ permeance of the prepared membrane was of the order of $10^{-8}/ molㆍs^{-1}/ㆍm^{-2}/. Pa{-1}$/, while the $N_2$ permeance was below $10^{-11}/ molㆍs^{-1}/ㆍm^{-2}/ㆍPa^{-1}$/ at $600^{\circ}C$. This was comparable to that of silica-modified Vycor glass whose size was 4 nm.

Glass-like carbon precursors shrink significantly during curing and carbonization, which leads to crack formation and bending. Cured furan resin powder and ethanol were added to furan resin to diminish the weight loss, to suppress the shrinkage and bending, and to readily release the gases evolved during polymerization and curing. Curing and carbonization were controlled by pressure and slow heating to avoid damage to the samples. The effect of the filler and ethanol on the fabrication process was examined by measuring the properties of the glass-like carbon, such as the specific gravity, bending strength, electrical resistivity, and microstructural change. The specific gravities of the filler-added glass-like carbons were higher than those of the ethanol-added samples because of the formation of macropores from the vaporization of ethanol during the curing and polymerization processes. Although the ethanol-added glass-like carbons exhibited lower bending strengths after carbonization than did the filler-added samples, the opposite result was observed after aging at 2,600$^{\circ}C$. We found that the macropores created from ethanol were contracted and removed upon heat treatment. The electrical resistivity of the glass-like carbon aged at 2,600$^{\circ}C$ was lower than those of the samples carbonized at 1,000$^{\circ}C$. We attribute this phenomenon to the fact that aging at high temperature led to well-developed microstructures, the removal of macropores, and the reduction of the surface area.

Farmers in highlands in South Korea pile up 20 to 30 cm of saprolites, mostly granite- or granite-gneiss-weathered materials, on surface of arable lands every three to five years to compensate eroded soil and sometimes to discontinue soil-borne diseases. Immediate increases of infiltration and percolation rates are expected with coarse textured saprolites while soil drainage becomes poorer in a long-term. In this study, we analyzed mineralogical characteristics and micro-morphology of plow pan to investigate processes making impermeable layers. Soil samples were collected from plow pan, usually located at approximately 20 cm soil depth and at the lower part of piled saprolites, in arable lands in Hoenggye 5-ri, Daekwanryeong-myeon, Gangwon-do (N37.7, E128.7) in which saprolites were added 2, 4, and 8 years ago; saprolites were transported from similar areas. The saturated hydraulic conductivity decreased over time. Based on soil thin section pedography, quartz and feldspar accounted for a majority of minerals. The size of feldspar decreased and macropores became filled with clay or silt particles over time, which implies that macropores were packed with particles weathered from feldspar. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis indicated that intensity of feldspar decreased over time and the reverse was true for kaolinite and illite, indicating that feldspar and mica weathering induced formation of kaolinite and illite. Conclusively, deteriorated drainage by formation of impermeable layers in farms with piled saprolites was caused by accumulation of clay minerals such as kaolinite and illite in macropores; illite and kaolinite can be formed by weathering of mica and feldspar, respectively.

이 연구는 강우시 산지사면의토양체와 대공극에서 발생하는 지표하 호우류를 구분하여 측정한 후 이들의 수문학적 특성을 밝히고자 수행하였다. 측정 시설은 미국 Georgia 주에 위치한 지질국 산하 Panola 시험유역의 상류 산지사면에 약 20m 길이의 조사구를 암반 깊이까지 파고 2m 간격으로 집수구를 설치하였다. 대공극류는 조사구 토양단면에 있는 13개의 대공극 중 유출이 발생한 6개의 대공극에 집수통을 설치하여 측정하였다. 1996년 3월 6일부터 7일까지 95.5mm의 강우가 내렸으며 이 때 발생한 대공극류와 기질류를 측정하여 분석하였다. 대공국류는 기질류보다 약 10시간 앞서 첨두유출이 발생하므로 유역의 첨두유출을 형성하는데 보다 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 강우가 종료된 후 대공극류는 약 12시간 이내에 멈춘 반면 기질류는 약 3일 이상 지속되어 감수부를 형성하는데 보다 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 기질루와 대공극류의유출량은 집수구에 따라 최대 8,655.3$\ell$에서 최초 17.8$\ell$로 공간적 변이가 매우 크게 나타났으며 이 변이는 지표 지형보다 기반암 표면의 지형과 밀접한 관계가 있었다.

Highly ordered porous materials having mesopores in the walls of macropores showed improved adsorption dynamics results for VOC molecules, especially bulky molecules. These meso/macroporous mataerials were synthesized by the dual templating method, and mesopore and macropore size were controlled by adjusting the templates for each pore size regime. In the case of adsorption and desorption of small VOC molecules (toluene), although meso/macroporous MCM-41 with smaller mesopore size showed improved results, meso/macroporous SBA-15 with larger mesopore size was not improved regardless of the existence of macropores, since there was no limitation of movement through the larger mesopore. However, the adsorption dynamics of bulky VOC molecules (p-xylene) over meso/macroporous SBA-15 were drastically improved by increasing the macropore size.
