The development of high performance materials is very important subject in order to enhance the properties of bearings whose role is to transfer energy harmoniously by reducing the problem of friction and wear down, etc. between the interacting solid surfaces in relative motion under high loads in comply with mechanical operating mechanism of engines. In this study, several (100-x)Al-xSn coating films (where x=85, 75, 65 atomic % at Al) on substrates which are abt. 2mm thickenss of Kelmet layer sintered back steel were prepared by using RF sputtering system. These coating films were observed the morphology by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) and investigated the crystal structure by XRD(X-ray Diffractor) for their properties. And friction coefficient of these films was measured by ball-on-disc tester for their tribological properties. From the experimental results, it was shown that high performance properties of bearing can be improved greatly by controlling the composition and morphology of material surface with effective use of the plasma-assisted sputtering process.

Nano-scaled metal oxides have been attractive materials for sensors, photocatalysis, and dye-sensitization for solar cells. We report the controlled synthesis and characterization of single crystalline $TiO_2$ nanowires via a catalyst-assisted vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) and vapor-solid (VS) growth mechanism during TiO powder evaporation. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscope (TEM) studies show that as grown $TiO_2$ materials are one-dimensional (1D) nano-structures with a single crystalline rutile phase. Also, energy-dispersive X-ray (EDX) spectroscopy indicates the presence of both Ti and O with a Ti/O atomic ratio of 1 to 2. Various morphologies of single crystalline $TiO_2$ nano-structures are realized by controlling the growth temperature and flow rate of carrier gas. Large amount of reactant evaporated at high temperature and high flow rate is crucial to the morphology change of $TiO_2$ nanowire.

In this study, in order to confirm the application possibility to the molecular electronic device, morphlogical property of the Arachidic acid was investigated. We have investigated morphology by BAM image and AFM. ${\pi}$-A curves investigated surface pressure of this LB film from liquid to solid state ranged between 40 to 45 mN/m. BAM images investigated the different states of Arachidic Acid LB film. When the surface pressure reaches at 40 mN/m, the monolayer was deposited onto the hydrophilic glass substrates by Y-type deposition. We also investigated the frequency characteristics of LB modified glass by QCM. We investigated morphology of arachidic acid by AFM. As a result, we obtained the frequency characteristic and morphology of LB films from controlling the deposited layers.

SiAlON-based ceramics are some of the most typical ceramic materials used as cutting tools for HRSA(Heat Resistant Super-Alloys). SiAlON can be fabricated using ceramic processing, such as mixing, granulation, compaction, and sintering. Spray drying is a widely-used method for producing a granular powder of controlled morphology and size with flowability. In this study, we report a systematic investigation aimed at optimizing spherical granule morphology by controlling spray-drying parameters such as gas flow and feed rate. Before spray drying, the viscosities of the raw material slurries were also optimized with the amount of dispersant added.

직접적으로 탄소 나노 튜브(CNT) 섬유를 방사하는 기술은 향후 고성능 소재분야에서 유망한 방법이다. 수직으로 정렬된 CNT 어레이에서 직접 방사하는 연구는 보고된 이래 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 그러나, 보고된 CNT 어레이의 대부분은 방사성을 갖고 있지 않다. 이 연구에서는, 방사특성을 향상시기키 위해 촉매, 탄소원등의 조건을 제어함으로써, CNT의 방사성 정도가 CNT 어레이의 형태와 밀접하게 관련되어 있음을 증명하였다. 탄소원인 아세틸렌에 추가 탄소원으로 에틸렌을 첨가함으로서 CNT 어레이의 waviness를 감소시킬 수 있었으며, 이는 촉매의 활성화를 유도하여 CNT축 방향으로의 선형화를 증가시켰다. 또한 이러한 탄소원 조성의 변화는 촉매 입자의 유착(coalescence)을 제어함으로써, 어레이의 밀도 및 합성된 CNT의 직경 과 길이등 물성을 동시에 제어할 수 있었다. 합성된 CNT 어레이는 잘 정렬되어 있으며, 방사 가능한 어레이의 합성조건을 도출할 수 있었다.

상호 침투하는 고분자 가교구조(IPN)는 가교 고분자의 블렌드라고 볼 수 있다. IPN의 큰 특징 중의 하나는 IPN 합성 중 모폴로지의 조절이 가능하다는 점으로 반응속도와 상 분리 속도의 상대적인 크기에 따라 모폴로지의 조절이 가능하고 따라서 나노미터 크기의 분산상도 얻을 수 있고 상호연속 상(co-continuous phase)도 얻을 수 있다. 또 하나의 중요한 특징은 IPN 구조에 존재하는 가교구조 사이의 물리적 얽힘때문에 한번 형성된 모폴로지는 주위 환경에 관계없이 변하지 않는다는 점이다. 친수성 폴리우레탄과 소수성 폴리스티렌의 결합을 IPN 형태로 하면 표면에 친수성과 소수성 도메인이 공존하게 되고 이러한 표면이 우수한 혈액 적합성을 보인다. IPN 합성시 반응온도, 반응압력, 가교밀도 등을 변화시켜 소수성 폴리스티렌 도메인의 크기를 변화시키고 이에 따른 혈액 적합성의 변화를 연구하였다.

This paper describes a selective synthetic method of fabricating Ag nanowires by using a modified polyol process. To synthesize the Ag nanowire, an ethylene glycolic solution of silver nitrate and an ethylene glycolic solution of polyvinylpyrrolidone solution containing a small amount of organic oxidant, 1,4-benzoquinone, were slowly added to a hot ethylene glycol medium at $160^{\circ}C$ for 8 min using a syringe pump. The reaction mixtures were heated for an additional 45 min and cooled to room temperature. Finally, the silver nanomaterials were isolated from the mixture by centrifugation. The crystal structure of the nanomaterials was investigated by powder X-ray diffraction analyses, and their morphology was investigated by scanning electron microscopy. A small amount of organic oxidant, 1,4-benzoquinone, played a significant role in controlling the morphology during crystal growth. Consequently, Ag nanowires rather than Ag nanoparticles were selectively obtained.

We studied the effect of structural and morphological changes on the conductivity of a stretched conducting polymer film. To improve the poor processability of polyaniline, we used dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid as both a surfactant and a dopant during emulsion polymerization, followed by blending with high-impact polystyrene. UV-Vis/NIR spectra were obtained to observe conformational changes, and SEM and AFM were used to investigate morphological changes. FT-IR dichroism was applied to determine the microscopic orientation, and XRD patterns were obtained for quantitative crystallinity analysis. The electrical conductivity (${\sigma}_{\parallel}/{\sigma}_{\perp}$) was measured as a function of draw ratio. We found a clear correlation between morphological changes and (${\sigma}_{\parallel}/{\sigma}_{\perp}$), especially at the stretching limit. The conductivity of the films can be modified according to the desired application by controlling their structure and morphology.

In this work, activated carbon nanofiber (ACNF) electrodes with high double-layer capacitance and good rate capability were prepared from polyacrylonitrile nanofibers by optimizing the carbonization temperature prior to $H_2O$ activation. The morphology of the ACNFs was observed by scanning electron microscopy. The elemental composition was determined by analysis of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. $N_2$-adsorption-isotherm characteristics at 77 K were confirmed by Brunauer-Emmett-Teller and Dubinin-Radushkevich equations. ACNFs processed at different carbonization temperatures were applied as electrodes for electrical double-layer capacitors. The experimental results showed that the surface morphology of the CNFs was not significantly changed after the carbonization process, although their diameters gradually decreased with increasing carbonization temperature. It was found that the carbon content in the CNFs could easily be tailored by controlling the carbonization temperature. The specific capacitance of the prepared ACNFs was enhanced by increasing the carbonization temperature.

MonA is a subunit of a guanine nucleotide exchange factor that is important for vacuole passing and autophagy processes in eukaryotes. In this study, we characterized the function of MonA, an orthologue of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mon1, in the model fungus Aspergillus nidulans and a toxigenic fungus A. flavus. In A. nidulans, the absence of AnimonA led to decreased fungal growth, reduced asexual reproduction, and defective cleistothecia production. In addition, AnimonA deletion mutants exhibited decreased spore viability, had reduced trehalose contents in conidia, and were sensitive to thermal stress. In A. flavus, deletion of AflmonA caused decreased fungal growth and defective production of asexual spores and sclerotia structures. Moreover, the absence of monA affected vacuole morphology in both species. Taken together, these results indicate that MonA plays conserved roles in controlling fungal growth, development and vacuole morphology in A. nidulans and A. flavus.
