The synthetic carbon was coated with tin oxide and copper by fluidized-bed chemical vapor deposition method. $(CH_3)_4Sn\;and\;Cu(hfac)_{2s}$ were employed as the metallic organic precursor, respectively. The modified synthetic carbons were used for lithium secondary battery anode to investigate their coating effects on electrochemical characteristics as alternative anode materials for lithium secondary batteries. The electrode which prepared by the synthetic carbons(MCMB) coated with tin oxide gave the higher capacity than that of raw material. Their capacity decreased with the progress of cycling possibly due to severe volume changes. But the cyclability was improved by coating with copper on the surface of the tin oxide coated carbon, which plays an important role as an inactive matrix buffering volume changes.

Effect of metal oxide catalysts and ionic liquids on the synthesis of methyl carbamate(MC) and dimethyl carbonate (DMC) from urea and methanol was investigated in a high pressure reaction system. In closed system, MC yield from urea and methanol reached almost 100% at reaction temperature over $150^{\circ}C$ without catalyst, whereas DMC yield of 1.5% under was obtained irrespective of catalysts used. In DMC synthesis from MC and methanol, $ZnCl_{2}$ showed the highest catalytic activity and led to the DMC yield of 16.3% under optimal conditions. Furthermore, DMC yield can be enhanced by the simultaneous application of ionic liquids with nano-sized catalysts in semi-continuous reaction system.

Thickness-dependent electrical, structural, and optical properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates were investigated in the very thin thickness range of 20 to 120 nm. A very unusual transition phenomenon, in which electrical resistance increases with an increase in film thickness, was observed. From structural and compositional analyses, this transition behavior was explained to arise from metallic Zn agglomerates dispersed in non-crystalline Zn-O matrix. It was unveiled that film thickness more than 80 nm is required for the development of hexagonal crystal structure of ZnO. ZnO films on PET substrates exhibited high optical transmittance and good mechanical flexibility in the thickness range. The results of this study would provide a valuable guideline for the design of ZnO thin films on organic substrates for practical applications.

Fe-Co nanocomposite powders with different composition were prepared by chemical vapor condensation (CVC) process and their characterizations were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, and vibrating sample magnetometer. The particles having the mean size of 5~25 nm consisted of metallic cores and oxide shells. The Co contents and particle size increased with increasing the carrier gas flow rate of Co precursor. The saturation magnetization and coercivity increased with increasing Co content. and the saturation magnetization maximized at the 40 wt.%Co. The Fe-Co nanocomposite powder oxidized at $400^{\circ}C$ showed the maximum coercivity of 1739 Oe.

Fe nanopowders were successfully synthesized by plasma arc discharge (PAD) process using Fe rod. The influence of chamber pressure on the microstructure was investigated by means of X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM) and X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS). The prepared particles had nearly spherical shapes and consisted of metallic cores (a-Fe) and oxide shells (Fe$_{3}$O$_{4}$), The powder size increased with increasing chamber pressure due to the higher dissolution and ejection rate of H$_2$ and gas density in the molten metal.

The extraction of metallic pure vanadium powder from raw oxide has been tried by Mg-reduction. In first stage, $V_2O_5$ powders as initial raw material was reduced by hydrogen gas into $V_2O_3$ phase. $V_2O_3$ powder was reduced in next stage by magnesium gas at 1,073K for 24 hours. After reduction reaction, the MgO component mixed with reduced vanadium powder were dissolved and removed fully in 10% HCl solution for 5 hours at room temperature. The oxygen content and particle size of finally produced vanadium powders were 0.84 wt% and 1 ${\mu}m$, respectively

Micro machining technology has been studied to fabricate small size and high accuracy milli-structure products. To perfectly overcome the conventional mechanical machining methods, the chemical mechanical micro machining(C3M) process was developed. The mechanism of C3M process is that chemical solution etches the material and results in the generation of the chemical reacted layer, and the mechanical micro tool subsequently removes the layer. From the fundamental experiments, the C3M process has been founded to have the advantages of lower machining resistance, tool wear, and higher surface quality and form accuracy than conventional methods. This study focuses on the micro grooving of both the metallic material(SKDII, A1) and hard brittle silicon oxide.

Silver nanowire random networks are promising candidates for replacing indium tin oxide (ITO) as transparent and conductive electrodes. They can also be used as transparent heating films with self-cleaning and defogging properties. By virtue of the Joule heating effect, silver nanowire random networks can be heated when voltage bias is applied; however, they are unsuitable for long-term use. In this work, we study the Joule heating of silver nanowire random networks embedded in polymers. Silver nanowire random networks embedded in polymers exhibit breakdown under the application of electric current. Their surface morphological changes indicate that nanoparticle formation may be the main cause of this electrical breakdown. Numerical analyses are used to investigate the temperatures of the silver nanowire and substrate.

The magnetoresistance (MR) of $La_{1-\chi}S_{\chi}CoO_{3-\delta}$ films prepared by pulsed-laser deposition were investigated in order to clarify the magnetotransport properties around the metal-insulator transition. For the films in the metallic state ($\chi$ > 0.25), the MR(T) manifests a small peak at the Curie temperature due to the spin-disorder scattering. The transition of the film into the insulating state ($\chi\;\leq$ 0.25) is accompanied by an essential growth of the MR and results in a significant increase in the MR(T) with decreasing temperature, due to a phase separation into the ferromagnetic-metal clusters and the insulating matrix.
