In this study, we investigated the biological toxicity of nano-scale Zn (0.1, 0.5, and 1 mol%)-doped $TiO_2$ and pure $TiO_2$ nanoparticles using zebrafish embryogenesis as our model organism. Zn-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were prepared using a conventional hydrothermal method for the insertion of zinc into the $TiO_2$ framework. The characters of Zn-doped $TiO_2$ (0.1%, 0.5%, 1%Zn) and pure $TiO_2$ were about 7~8 nm. These sizes were smaller than 100~200 nm of $TiO_2$ was prepared using the sol-gel method. Particularly, in this study, we found no significant biological toxicity in the hatching rate and abnormal rate under expose pure $TiO_2$ and Zn-doped $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were prepared using a conventional hydrothermal method of zebrafish. It was different from the biological damage under $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were prepared using sol-gel method. We assessed that the damage was not linked to the particle's nanometer size, but rather due to the prepare method. Moreover, $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were prepared using a hydrothermal method were not shown to cause cytotoxic effects, like apoptosis and necrosis, that are the major markers of toxicity in organisms exposed to nanomaterials. Therefore, there is some relationship with biological toxicity of nanoparticles and the prepare method of nanometer size particles.

In this research, fine-structure TiO2 bulks were fabricated in a combined application of magnetic pulsed compaction (MPC) and subsequent sintering and their densification behavior was investigated. The obtained density of $TiO_2$ bulk prepared via the combined processes increased as the MPC pressure increased from 0.3 to 0.7 GPa. Relatively higher density (88%) in the MPCed specimen at 0.7 GPa was attributed to the decrease of the inter-particle distance of the pre-compacted component. High pressure and rapid compaction using magnetic pulsed compaction reduced the shrinkage rate (about 10% in this case) of the sintered bulks compared to general processing (about 20%). The mixing conditions of PVA, water, and $TiO_2$ nano powder for the compaction of $TiO_2$ nano powder did not affect the density and shrinkage of the sintered bulks due to the high pressure of the MPC.

In this paper, various kinds of epoxy based nanocomposites were made and AC breakdown properties of nano-$TiO_2$ and micro-silica filler mixture of epoxy based composites were studied by sphere to sphere electrode. Moreover, nano- and micro-filler combinations were adopted as an approach toward practical application of nanocomposite insulating materials. AC breakdown test was performed at room temperature $(25^{\circ}C)$, $80^{\circ}C$ and $100^{\circ}C$. The result shows breakdown strength about non-filled, nano-scale $TiO_2$, micro-scale silica and nano-$TiO_2$, micro-silica filled epoxy composites.

The effect of MgO diluents in combustion synthesis of $TiB_2$ nano particles was investigated. The reaction $TiO_2\;+\;B_2O_3\;+\;xMg\;{\rightarrow}\;TiB_2\;+\;5MgO$ was used to synthesize $TiB_2$ nano particles. The combustion velocity was measured to examine the relation between the reaction temperature and the morphologies of particles. The diluent MgO did not react with the reactants and played a role to decrease combustion temperature. As the MgO diluents contents increased, the particles with the smaller size and the narrower size distribution were synthesized. At the condition of 6 mole of MgO, the combustion wave velocity was about 5 cm/see and the synthesized particles showed the size of 60 nm with narrow size distribution.

In this study, the optimum conditions for manufacturing PVDF nano web according to various electrospinning conditions such as solution concentration and applied voltage conditions were confirmed. The optimum spinning conditions were studied by analyzing the changes in the radioactivity of PVDF/TiO₂ nano web according to the TiO₂ content and the content of β-phase closely related to the piezoelectric properties under established conditions. As a result, it was confirmed that the concentration of the spinning solution was 20 wt%, the applied voltage was 25 kV, and the TiO₂ content was 5 phr. PVDF nano web and PVDF/TiO₂ nano web were observed morphologies through Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) analysis. Formation of β-phase by electrospinning was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy(FT-IR) and X-ray Diffractometer(XRD), and the effect of the trapped nano web structure on the piezoelectric properties was investigated.

$Y_2Ti_2O_7$ nanoparticles (0.3 mol%) have been successfully synthesized by the co-precipitation process. The samples, adjusted to pH7 with ammonia solution as catalyst and calcined at $700{\sim}900^{\circ}C$, exhibit very fine particles with close to spherical shape and average size of 10-30 nm. It was possible to control the size of the synthesized $Y_2Ti_2O_7$ particles by manipulating the conditions. The $Y_2Ti_2O_7$ nanoparticles were coated on a glass substrate by a dipping coating process with inorganic binder. The $Y_2Ti_2O_7$ solution coated on the glass substrate had excellent adhesion of 5B; pencil hardness test results indicated an excellent hardness of 6H. The thickness of the thick film was about $30{\mu}m$. Decomposition of MB on the $Y_2Ti_2O_7$ thin film shows that the photocatalytic properties were excellent.

수처리에 있어서 분말 $TiO_2$ 광촉매가 안고 있는 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 스테인리스 강 섬유를 지지체로 한 $TiO_2$ 담지 광촉매($TiO_2/SSF$)를 제조하였다. 초음파 세척기를 이용하여 담지된 $TiO_2$의 부착강도를 살펴보았으며, 메틸렌블루와 포름산 분해실험을 통하여 광촉매 활성을 평가하였고, 대장균과 비브리오균에 대한 살균실험을 통하여 살균능력을 평가하였다. 담지된 $TiO_2$는 30 min간의 초음파 처리 후에도 95% 이상이 남아 있을 정도로 강한 부착력을 보였으며, UV 하에서 60%의 메틸렌블루와 38%의 포름산을 1 h 만에 각각 분해시키는 광촉매 활성을 보였고, 대장균과 비브리오균에 대하여 99.9% 이상의 높은 살균능력을 보였다. 포름산 분해의 경우에는 산화제를 첨가하면 분해율이 증가하였으며, 특히 과산화수소를 첨가할 경우에는 분해율이 1 h 만에 80%로 증가하였다.

착체중합법과 sol-gel법을 이용하여 ZnO 나노입자 표면상에 $TiO_2$ 입자를 코팅한 나노 코아쉘 구조를 제조하였다. 착체중합법으로 제조된 ZnO 입자는 평균입도가 약 100 nm, sol-gel법으로 제조된 $TiO_2$ 입자는 10 nm 이하의 크기로 각각 구성되었다. $ZnO@TiO_2$ 나노 코아쉘 구조의 평균입도는 약 150 nm의 크기를 나타내었다. 착체중합법으로 제조된 구형의 ZnO 나노 입자는 콜로이드상의 $TiO_2$ 입자의 균일한 표면흡착으로 인해 착체중합법으로 제조된 ZnO 입자의 입자간 응집이 크게 제어되었다. ZnO와 $TiO_2$의 이종 입자간의 표면전하는 pH 7 근처의 중성 영역에서 iso-electric point (IEP)의 차이로 인하여 - 로 대전된 $TiO_2$와 + 로 대전된 ZnO 나노입자의 이종의 입자들이 쿨롱의 인력에 의해 서로간의 결합을 하게 되고, 결합을 이룬 $ZnO@TiO_2$ 나노 코아쉘 구조가 표면 전하가 zero가 되어 발생하게 된다.

This study synthesized pure anatase carbon doped $TiO_2$ photocatalysts supported on a stainless steel mesh using a sol-gel solution of 8% polyacrylonitrile (PAN)/dimethylformamide (DMF)/$TiCl_4$. The influence of the pyrolysis temperature and holding time on the morphological characteristics, particle sizes and surface area of the prepared catalyst was investigated. The prepared catalysts were characterized by several analytical methods: high resolution scanning electron microscopy (HRSEM), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The XRD patterns showed that the supported $TiO_2$ nanocrystals are typically anatase, polycrystalline and body-centered tetragonal in structure. The EDS and XPS results complemented one another and confirmed the presence of carbon species in or on the $TiO_2$ layer, and the XPS data suggested the substitution of titanium in $TiO_2$ by carbon. Instead of using calcination, PAN pyrolysis was used to control the carbon content, and the mesoporosity was tailored by the applied temperature. The supported $TiO_2$ nanocrystals prepared by pyrolysis at 300, 350, and $400^{\circ}C$ for 3 h on a stainless steel mesh were actual supported carbon doped $TiO_2$ nanocrystals. Thus, $PAN/DMF/TiCl_4$ offers a facile, robust sol-gel related route for preparing supported carbon doped $TiO_2$ nanocomposites.

Fe-doped $TiO_2$ nanopowders were prepared by mechanical alloying (MA) varying Fe contents up to 8.0 wt.%. The UV-vis absorption showed that the UV absorption for the Fe-doped powder shifted to a longer wavelength (red shift). The absorption threshold depends on the concentration of nano-size Fe dopant. As the Fe concentration increased up to 4 wt.%, the UV-vis absorption and the magnetization were increased. The benefical effect of Fe doping for photocatalysis and ferromagnetism had the critical dopant concentration of 4 wt.%. Based on the UV absorption and magnetization, the dopant level is localized to the valence band of $TiO_2$.
