Friction behavior of nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) film was investigated. A 60 ${\mu}m$ thick AAO film having nanopores of 45 nm diameter with 105 nm interpore-diatance was fabricated by mild anodization process. The AAO film was then saturated with paraffinic oil. Reciprocating ball-on-flat sliding friction tests using 1 mm diameter steel ball as the counterpart were carried out with normal load ranging from 0.1 N to 1 N in an ambient environment. The morphology of worn surfaces were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The friction coefficient significantly increased with the increase of load. The boundary lubrication layer of paraffinic oil contributed to the lower friction at relatively low load (0.1 N), but it is less effective at high load (1 N). Plastic deformed layer patches were formed on the worn surface of oil-enriched AAO at relatively low load (0.1 N) without evidence of tribochemical reaction. On the other hand, thick tribolayers were formed on the worn surface of both oil-enriched and as-prepared AAO at relatively high load (1 N) due to tribochemical reaction and material transfer.

An amperometric glucose biosensor has been developed based on the use of the nanoporous composite film of sol-gel-derived zirconia and perfluorosulfonated ionomer, Nafion, for the encapsulation of glucose oxidase (GOx) on a platinized glassy carbon electrode. Zirconium isopropoxide (ZrOPr) was used as a sol-gel precursor for the preparation of zirconia/Nafion composite film and the performance of the resulting glucose biosensor was tuned by controlling the water content in the acid-catalyzed hydrolysis of sol-gel stock solution. The presence of Nafion polymer in the sol-gel-derived zirconia in the biosensor resulted in faster response time and higher sensitivity compared to those obtained at the pure zirconia- and pure Nafion-based biosensors. Because of the nanoporous nature of the composite film, the glucose biosensor based on the zirconia/Nafion composite film can reach 95% of steady-state current less than 5 s. In addition, the biosensor responds to glucose linearly in the range of 0.03-15.08 mM with a sensitivity of 3.40 $\mu$A/mM and the detection limit of 0.037 mM (S/N = 3). Moreover, the biosensor exhibited good sensor-to-sensor reproducibility (~5%) and long-term stability (90% of its original activity retained after 4 weeks) when stored in 50 mM phosphate buffer at pH 7 at 4 ${^{\circ}C}$.

층과 층 사이의 정전기적인력, 수소결합 또는 공유결합을 이용하여 층당 두께를 수 옹스트롱에서부터 수십 나노미터까지 제조할 수 있으며 박막의 표면 형태를 흡착시키고자 하는 물질 및 박막 후처리 공정을 통해 제어할 수 있으며 더 나아가, 삽입하는 물질의 특성에 따라 박막의 기능성을 집적화 및 다양화시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 층상자기조립방법의 특성을 이용하여 반사방지막, 초소수성 필름 및 전기화학센서로의 응용가능성을 제시하였다. 반사방지막의 경우, 구형의 블록공중합체를 유리기판 위에 다층박막으로 적층시킴으로써 박막 굴절률을 1.25까지 감소시켰고 이를 통해 약 99.5%의 빛 투과도를 달성할 수 있었다. 더 나아가 바이오물질인 엔자임을 다층박막에 삽입시킬 경우, 활성 산소를 분해시키는 전기화학센서로의 제조가 가능함을 보인다. 본 연구는 본인이 이미 발표한 논문(J.

In this study, we describe a new double layered nanoporous membrane suitable for virus filtration. One layer is an 80 nm thick film having cylindrical pores with diameters of 15 nm and a narrow pore size distribution. This layer is prepared by using a thin film of the mixture of a block copolymer and a homopolymer, and mainly acts to separate viruses. The support layer (${\sim}150\;microns\;thick$) is a conventional micro-filtration membrane with a broad pore size distribution. This asymmetric membrane showed very high selectivity and flux for the separation of human rhinovirus type 14 (HRV 14) which has a diameter of ${\sim}30\;nm$ and is a major pathogen of the common cold in humans.

In present study, a temperature field of specimens which was coated with fluorescence dye such as Rhodamine-B(Rh-B) has been measured, based on the fluorescence intensity. Silica(SiO2) nano porous structure with 1um thickness was constructed on a cover glass, and fluorescence dye was digested into these porous thin films. To optimize manufacturing coating process, various solvents, Rh-B concentration, and other chemical materials were applied to fabricate the specimen and all specimens were measured on the various temperature conditions. For the measurement, a 14 bit cooled CCD camera with 1600 by 1200 spatial resolution is equipped with epifluorescence microscope to obtain only fluorescence intensity from 1.2 mm by 0.9 mm field of view of the illuminated coated specimen.

Tribological properties of nanoporous structured alumina film was investigated. Alumina film (AAO: anodic aluminum oxide) of $60{\mu}m$ thickness having nanopores of 45 nm diameter with 105 nm interpore-diatance was fabricated by mild anodization process. Reciprocating ball-on-flat sliding friction tests using 1 mm diameter steel ball as a counterpart were carried out with wide range of normal load from 1 mN to 1 N in an ambient environment. The morphology of worn surfaces were analyzed using scanning electron microscopy. The friction coefficient was strongly influenced by the applied normal load. Smooth layer patches were formed on the worn surface of both AAO and steel ball at relatively high load (100 mN and 1 N) due to tribochemical reaction and compaction of wear debris. These tribolayers contributed to the lower friction at high loads. Extremely thin layer patches, due to mild plastic deformation of surface layer, were sparsely distributed on the worn surface of AAO at low loads (1 mN and 10 mN) without the evidence of tribochemical reaction. Delaminated wear particles were generated at high loads by fatigue due to repeated loading and sliding.

다공성 물질은 동공의 크기에 따라 미세동공(Micropore), 메조동공(Mesopore), 거대동공(Macropore)으로 나누어 분류한다. 다공성 재료의 장점은 높은 비표면적으로써, 촉매, 센서, 연료전지 전극, 에너지 저장장치 등으로의 이용 가능성을 보여주는 연구가 활발히 보고되고 있다. 종래의 연구는 두 가지 이상의 원소로 구성된 박막을 제작한 후 전기화학적 분해법, 선택적 용해법 등 습식공정을 통해 다공성 구조체를 제작하였다. 하지만 본 연구에서는 Au, Ag 타겟과 $CH_4$ gas를 이용해 ICP-assisted reactive magnetron sputtering 장비를 활용하여 450 nm 두께의 Au-C, Ag-C 박막을 제작하였다. 이후 연속적으로 RF 250 W를 ICP antenna 에 인가하여 $O_2$ plasma dealloying 공정을 통해 탄소(Carbon) 만을 선택적으로 제거함으로써, 건식 공정만으로 Si wafer ($10{\times}10mm^2$) 기판 위에 250 ~ 300 nm 두께의 다공성 Au, Ag 박막을 제작하였다. SEM (Scanning Electron Microscopy)를 활용하여 표면, 단면 형상을 관찰해 다공성 구조를 확인하였으며, AES (Auger Electron Spectroscopy)를 통해 plasma dealloying 전 후 박막의 조성변화를 관찰하였다. 따라서 plasma dealloying 공정으로 제작된 다공성 Au, Ag 박막은 기존의 습식 공정 대비 청결하고 신속한 공정이 가능하며 높은 재현성을 통해 위의 적용분야에 보다 쉽게 사용될 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

Gas sensors based on metal oxide semiconductors are used in numerous applications including monitoring indoor air quality and detecting harmful substances like volatile organic compounds. Nanostructures, for example, nanoparticles, nanotubes, nanodomes, and nanofibers have been widely utilized to improve gas sensing properties of metal oxide semiconductors, and this increases the effective surface area, resulting in participation of more target gas molecules in the surface reaction. In the recent times, 1-dimensional (1D) metal oxide nanostructures fabricated using anodic oxidation have attracted great attention due to their high surface-to-volume ratio with large-area uniformity, reproducibility, and capability of synthesis under ambient air and pressure, leading to cost-effectiveness. Here, we provide a brief overview of 1D metal oxide nanostructures fabricated by anodic oxidation and their gas sensing properties. In addition, recent progress on thin film-based anodic oxidation for application in gas sensors is introduced.

In this work, nanoporous $TiO_2$ powder was fabricated using Ketjen black, and applied in photovoltaic device based on the Dye-sensitized Solar Cells (DSCs). $TiO_2$ powder was fabricated using Ti-isopropoxide and 2-propanol by sol-gel combustion method. For added $0{\sim}2g$ variable of Ketjen black, characteristic of porosity, size of particle and crystallite of obtained $TiO_2$ nano powder was investigated. The photovoltaic efficiency of the prepared DSCs was measured using $TiO_2$ film which prepared on each different heat treatment temperature($100^{\circ}C{\sim}600^{\circ}C$) with paste of $TiO_2$ powder. The porosity and size in particle of $TiO_2$ powder made with Ketjen black Ig was influenced significantly effect to DSCs characteristic. Heat treatment at $500^{\circ}C$ makes the better photovoltaic efficiency which around 6.11%($J_{sc}=13.35mA/cm^2$, $V_{oc}=0.73V$, ff=0.63). The sol-gel combustion method was useful to DSCs fabrication.
