Porous Ti implant samples were fabricated by the sintering of spherical Ti powders in a high vacuum furnace. To increase their surface area and biocompatibility, anodic oxidation and a hydrothermal treatment were then applied. Electrolytes in a mixture of glycerophosphate and calcium acetate were used for the anodizing treatment. The resulting oxide layer was found to have precipitated in the phase form of anatase $TiO_2$ and nano-scaled hydroxyapatite on the porous Ti implant surface. The porous Ti implant can be modified via an anodic oxidation method and a hydrothermal treatment for the enhancement of the bioactivity, and current multi-surface treatments can be applied for use in a dental implant system.

Anatase nanocrystalline and its tungsten-doped (0.4, 2, and 4 mol %) powders have been synthesized by microwave irradiation through hydrolysis of titanium tetra-isopropoxide (TIP) in aqueous solution. The materials are characterized by XRD, Raman, SEM-EDX, TEM, FT-IR and UV-vis techniques. The nanocrystalline $TiO_2$ particles are 30 nm in nature and doping of tungsten ion decreases their size. As seen in TEM images, the crystallites of W (4 mol %) doped $TiO_2$ are small with a size of about 10 nm. The photocatalytic activity was tested on the degradation of 4-nitrophenol (4-NP). Catalytic activities of W-doped and pure $TiO_2$ were also compared. The results show that the photocatalytic activity of the W-doped $TiO_2$ photocatalyst is much higher than that of pure $TiO_2$. Degradation decreases from 96 to 50%, during 115 min, when the initial 4-NP concentration increases from 10 to 120 ppm. Maximum degradation was obtained at 35 mg of photocatalyst.

$Zn_{(1-x)}Ni_xAl_2O_4$ (x = 0.0-1.0) spinels were prepared at $800^{\circ}C$ by co-precipitation method and characterized by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. The specific surface area was determined by BET. SEM image showed nano sized spherical particles. XPS confirmed the valence states of the metals, showing moderate Lewis character for the surface of materials. The powders were successfully used as new heterogeneous catalysts of Biginelli's reaction, a one-pot three-component reaction, leading to some dihydropyrimidinones (DHPMs). These new catalysts that produced good yields of DHPMs, were easily recovered by simple filtration and subsequently reused with persistent activity, and they are non-toxic and environmentally friendly. The optimum amount of catalyst is 20% by weight of benzaldehyde derivatives, while the doping amount has been found optimal for x = 0.1.

The $Fe_3O_4$-core and Ag-shell ($Fe_3O_4@Ag$ nanoeggs) were prepared through the encapsulation of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane-coated magnetite nanoparticle in nano-Ag shell by a simple chemically controlled procedure. The $Fe_3O_4@Ag$ nanoeggs were characterized by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, UV-vis spectrum and superconducting quantum interference device magnetometer, respectively. A detailed analysis is provided of how the hydrolysis and condensation of 3-aminopropyltriethoxysilane and the pH value are vital in fabricating the $Fe_3O_4@Ag$ nanoeggs. The prepared $Fe_3O_4@Ag$ nanoeggs possessed uniform size, improved monodispersity, stability against aggregation and high magnetization, which were utilized for the detection of latent fingerprints deposited onto different surfaces. The experimental results showed that the latent fingerprints developed with the $Fe_3O_4@Ag$ nanoeggs powders exhibited excellent ridge details with minimal background staining.

Silicon(Si) nanowires have been grown by thermal chemical vapor deposition using the 20h ball-milled SiO powders under controlled conditions without the catalyst. For the synthesis of Si nanowires, $Al_2O_3$ substrates were used. Current-Voltage(I-V) and photoresponses were measured for the single Si nanowire in vacuum at room temperature. The light sources for these measurements were the 325 nm wavelength line from a He-Cd laser and the 633 nm wavelength line from a He-Ne laser. The intensity of the photoresponse is independent of the illumination time. And rise and decay times of the photoresponses are shorter than 1 sec.

To improve the mechanical properties of aluminum, graphene has been used as a reinforcing material, yielding graphene-reinforced aluminum matrix composites (GRAMCs). Dispersion of graphene materials is an important factor that affects the properties of GRAMCs, which are mainly manufactured by mechanical mixing methods such as ball milling. However, the use of only mechanical mixing process is limited to achieve homogeneous dispersion of graphene. To overcome this problem, in this study, we have prepared composite materials by coating aluminum particles with graphene by a self-assembly reaction using poly vinylalcohol and ethylene diamine as coupling agents. The scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy results confirm the coating of graphene on the Al surface. Bulk density of the sintered composites by spark plasma sintering achieved a relative density of over 99% up to 0.5 wt.% graphene oxide content.

Nano-sized $SnO_2$ powders were synthesized via a solvent thermal reaction using $SnClO_4$, NaOH, and ethylene glycol at $150^{\circ}C$. TGA, SEM, FT-IR, XRD, and Potentiostat/Galvanostat were employed to investigate the chemical and electrochemical characteristics of the synthesized $SnO_2$. The structure of $SnO_2$ was amorphous, and when heat treated at $500^{\circ}C$, it was transformed into a crystalline structure. The morphology obtained by SEM micrographs of the as-synthesized $SnO_2$ showed powder features that had diameters ranging 100 to 200 nm. The electrochemical performance of the crystalline $SnO_2$ as a Li-air battery cathode was better than that of the amorphous $SnO_2$. The specific capacity of the crystalline $SnO_2$ was at least 350 mAh/g at 10 mA/g discharge rate. However, there was some capacity loss of all the cells during the consecutive cycles. Keywords : Lithium-Air Battery.

Nano-oxide dispersion-strengthened (ODS) superalloys have attracted attention because of their outstanding mechanical reinforcement mechanism. Dispersed oxides increase the material's strength by preventing grain growth and recrystallization, as well as increasing creep resistance. In this research, atomic layer deposition (ALD) was applied to synthesize an ODS alloy. It is useful to coat conformal thin films even on complex matrix shapes, such as nanorods or powders. We coated an Nb-Si-based superalloy with TiO₂ thin film by using rotary-reactor type thermal ALD. TiO₂ was grown by controlling the deposition recipe, reactor temperature, N₂ flow rate, and rotor speed. We could confirm the formation of uniform TiO₂ film on the surface of the superalloy. This process was successfully applied to the synthesis of an ODS alloy, which could be a new field of ALD applications.

$Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$는 우수한 적색 발광 특성을 가지고 있는 형광체로 최근 고화질 디스플레이에 대한 수요가 증가함에 따라 관련 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 RF 열플라즈마 합성법과 고상법을 이용하여 $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ 적색 형광체를 합성하였으며, 합성 방법에 따른 $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ 적색 형광체의 결정 구조, 미세 구조, 발광 특성의 차이를 XRD, TEM, PL 분석을 통해 비교하였다. 고상법으로 합성된 $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ 적색 형광체의 입자는 약 $10{\sim}20{\mu}m$ 크기를 가지는 반면, RF 열플라즈마 합성법을 통해 합성된 적색 형광체는 반응부는 약 100 nm, 필터부는 약 30 nm의 크기를 갖는 나노 형광체로 확인되었다. 합성된 모든 분말들은 PL 측정결과 611 nm($^5D_0{\rightarrow}^7F_2$)에서 발광하는 것을 확인하였으며, 결정 크기와 입도가 증가할수록 PL intensity가 증가하였다. 또한, 추가 열처리 공정이 필요 없는 one-step 공정의 RF 열플라즈마 공정을 통해 합성된 $Y_2O_3:Eu^{3+}$ 적색 나노 형광체는 고상법으로 합성된 적색 형광체와 비슷한 발광 특성을 보이는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

폐 ITO 타겟을 염산에 용해시킨 복합 산용액을 원료로 하여 자체기술에 의해 개발한 분무열분해 반응장치를 통하여 평균입도가 50nm이하인 나노 ITO 분말을 제조하였으며, 반응온도 및 원료용액의 농도 등의 반응인자들의 변화에 따른 ITO 분말의 특성을 파악하였다. 반응온도가 $800^{\circ}C$로부터 $1100^{\circ}C$로 변화함에 따라 생성된 ITO 분말의 평균 입도는 40nm로부터 100nm정도까지 증가하고 있었으며, 조직도 점점 치밀화되면서 각각의 입자들이 독립된 다각형 형태를 나타내었으며, 입도분포는 더욱 불균일하게 나타나고 있었다. 또한 반응온도 증가에 따라 XRD 피크의 강도는 증가하였으며 비표면적은 감소하고 있었다. 원료용액 내의 인듐 성분의 농도가 50g/l로부터 400g/l로 증가됨에 따라 생성된 ITO 분말의 평균입도는 점점 증가하는 반면 입도분포는 더욱 불균일 하였다. 농도가 50g/l인 경우에는 ITO 분말의 평균입도는 30nm 이하이면서 입도분포는 비교적 균일하게 나타나고 있었다. 반면 농도가 포화농도에 가까운 400g/l인 경우에는 분말들의 입도분포는 20nm 정도부터 100nm 이상까지 공존하는 매우 불균일한 형태를 나타내고 있었다. 농도가 증가함에 따라 XRD 피크의 강도는 점점 증가하였으며 비표면적은 점점 감소하였다.
