  • Polymeric based nanomedicines have been developed for diagnosing, treating, and preventing diseases in human body. The nanosized drug delivery systems having various structures such as micelles, nanogels, drug-conjugates, and polyplex were investigated for a great goal in pharmaceutics: increasing therapeutic efficacy for diseases and decreasing drug toxicity for normal tissues. The functional polymers used for constituting these drug delivery systems should have several favorable properties such as stimuli-responsibility and biodegrdability for controlled drug release, and solublization capacity for programmed drug encapsulation. This review discusses recent developments and trends of functional polymers (e.g., pH-sensitive polymers, biodegradable polymers, and cationic polymers) used for nanosized drug carriers.

  • Fe-Ni alloy nanoparticles were prepared by ERC (Evaporation and Rapid Condensation) method, and the crystal structure and the behavior of martensite for the nanosized alloy particles were investigated by X-ray diffraction analysis. The relation between the rate of martensite transformation and the internal strain of austenite was discussed. The lattice spaces of austenite and martensite for the nanoparticles agreed with those of the bulk materials. The rate of martensite transformation from austenite and the internal strain of austenite was reduced with decreasing the average size of Fe-Ni nanoparticles. It was thought that the residual austenite in the Ni content range of 11∼l5at% was caused by the internal strain, and the residual martensite in the Ni content range of 32∼36at% had its origin in the high surface energy of nanoparticles.

  • In the present study, the focus is on the synthesis of nanosized WC powder by the chemical vapor condensation proces. The synthesized W-C system powder by the CVC process shows W2C, W, WO3 phases and can not shows WC phase. After recarburization heat treatment under mixture gas atmosphere of argon and hydrogen gases, the synthesized W-C system powder fully transformed to the pure WC. The synthesized WC powder after recarburization heat treatment has an average particle size of 20 nm. The nano-sized WC powder can be prepared by the combination of the CVC process and heat treatment methods.

  • Due to the rapid development of electricity, electronics, information communication, and biotechnology in recent years, studies are actively being conducted on nanopowders as it is required not only for high strengthening but also for high-function powder with electric, magnetic, and optical properties. Nonetheless, studies on nickel nanopowders are rare. In this study of the synthesis of nickel nanoparticles from $LiNiO_2$ (LNO), which is a cathode active material, we have synthesized the nanosized nickel powder by the liquid reduction process of $NiSO_4$ obtained through the leaching and purification of LNO. Moreover, we have studied the reduction reaction rate according to the temperature change of liquid phase reduction and the change of particle size as a function of NaOH addition amount using hydrazine monohydrate ($N_2H_4{\cdot}H_2O$) and NaOH.
