This presentation introduces anodizing science of typical valve metals of Al, Mg and Ti, based on the ionic transport through the andic oxide films in various electrolyte compositions. Depending on the electrolyte composition, metal ions and anions can migrate through the andic oxide film without its dielectric breakdown when point defects are present within the anodic oxide films under high applied electric field. On the other hand, if anodic oxide films are broken by local joule heating due to ionic migration, metal ions and anions can migrate through the broken sites and meet together to form new anodic films, known as plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) treatment. In this presentation, basics of conventional anodizing and PEO methods are introduced in detail, based on the ionic migration and movement mechanism through anodic oxide films by point defects and by local dielectric breakdown of anodic oxide films.

In the present study of IGC (Inert Gas Condensation) evaporation-condensation processing study, the effects of IGC convection gas on the crystallographic structure, size and shape of tin oxide nanoparticles were investigated. In addition, the phase transformation of tin oxide nanoparticles was studied after heat treatment. IGC processing was conducted at 1000℃ for 1 hr. The mixture gas of oxygen and helium was used as a convection gas. Metastable tetragonal SnO nanoparticles were obtained at a lower convection gas pressure, whereas amorphous tin oxide nanoparticles were obtained at a higher one. The formation of amorphous phase could be explained by the rapid quenching of the vaporized atoms. The resultant nanoparticles size was about 10 nm with a rounded shape. The tin oxide nanoparticles prepared by IGC were almost transformed to the stable tetragonal SnO₂ after heat treatment.

A liquid crystalline thermosetting-epoxy-based composite was fabricated using diglycidyl ether of 4,4'-biphenol, tin(IV) oxide as a filler, and sulfanilamide as a curing agent. To investigate the thermal behavior, Thermogravimetric Analysis and Laser Flash Apparatus were performed using 3.0-7.0 wt% Tin(IV) oxide. The result showed that the activation energy and thermal conductivity were proportional to the amount of added filler.

Cobalt oxide 박막은 gas sensor, electro-chromic 소자 그리고 energy storage 소자등 광범위한 분야에서 연구되고 있으며 sputtering, CVD 그리고 electrochemical deposition 를 포함한 다양한 방법으로 증착할 수 있다. 최근에는 원자층 증착 방법을 이용한 cobalt oxide박막 증착이 연구되었는데, cyclopentadienyl계열의 전구체와 ${\beta}$-diketonate계열의 전구체를 이용하였다. 하지만 전구체의 낮은 증기압으로 인해 낮은 growth rate (약 0.02~0.05 nm/cycle)을 보였다. 본 연구에서는 증기압이 높은 전구체인 CCTBA (dicobalt hexacarbonyl tert-butylacetylene) 를 선정하여 원자층 증착 공정의 growth rate를 향상시키고자 하였다. 반응기체로는 O3을 사용하여 cobalt oxide 박막을 증착하였다. 반응기체의 주입시간 및 공정온도를 달리하여 시편을 증착한 결과 $80^{\circ}C$에서 0.1 nm/cycle로 기존의 보고된 growth rate보다 높은 수치를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 증착된 cobalt oxide 박막내 조성분석과 I-V 측정 등을 이용하여 물리적, 전기적 특성을 규명하였다

In this work, vertically aligned metal oxide nanorods(ZnO, $TiO_2$, $WO_3$) were grown onto CuO film at the room temperature. The fabricated nanorods of 90nm~500nm diameter range and $1{\mu}m{\sim}15{\mu}m$ of length range. Growth of metal oxide nanorods only depends on thickness of CuO film in this method, and it is grown at both of room temperature and high temperature. That means, it is much faster mathod to make the vertical metal oxide nanorods than old method such as hydrothermal method.

In this paper, the three-dimensional stress effect of thermal oxide is simulated. We developed the three-dimensional finite element numerical simulator including three-dimensional adaptive mesh generator that is able to refine and eliminate nearby moving boundary of oxide, and oxidation solver with stress model. The main effect of deformation at the coner area of oxide is due to distribution of oxidant, but the deformation of oxide is affected by the stress in the oxide. In the island structure which is the structure mostly covered with nitride and a coner is opened to oxidation, oxidation is reduced at the coner by compressive stress. In the hole structure which is the structure mostly opened to oxide and a coner is covered with nitride, however, oxidation is increased at the coner by tensile stress.

The research and development for the solid oxide fuel cell have been promoted rapidly and extensively in recent years, because of their high efficiency and future potential. Therefore this paper describes the manufacturing method and characteristics of anode electrode for solid oxide fuel cell, by the way, Ni-YSZ materials are used as anode of solid oxide fuel cell widely. In order to reduce production costs, we have fabricated single solid oxide fuel cell by doctor blade and screen printing method. Disk-type planar solid oxide fuel cell with an effective electrode area of about $7cm^2$ were fabricated and run for 500 h to investigate cell performance. The current density at a voltage of 0.7 V was $850mA/cm^2$.

A new and useful poly(ethylene oxide)-based pH-sensitive block copolymer is introduced. Poly(ethylene oxide-b-N-phenylmaleimide) was first synthesized by anionic polymerization of N-phenylmaleimide (N-PMI) using mixed alkali metal polymeric alkoxide by sequential monomer addition method in the mixture of benzene/THF/DMSO (10/5/3, v/v/v) at room temperature. Reductive deimidation of the resulting block copolymer was performed using hydrazine monohydrate leading to the formation of the corresponding pH-sensitive poly(ethylene oxide-b-maleic acid).

The oxide scales formed on $Ni_3Al$-7.8%Cr-1.3%Zr-0.8%Mo-0.025%B after oxidation at 900, 1000 and 110$0^{\circ}C$ in air were studied using XRD, SEM, EPMA and TEM. The oxide scales consisted primarily of $NiO,\; NiAl_2O_4,\;{\alpha}-Al_2O_3,\; monoclinic-ZrO_2,\; and \;tetragonal-ZrO_2$. The outer layer of the oxide scale was rich in Ni-oxides, whereas the internal oxide stringers were rich in Al-oxides and $ZrO_2$. Within the above oxide scales, Cr and Mo tended to exist as dissolved ions.

Metallic tantalum powder is manufactured by reducing tantalum oxide ($Ta_2O_5$) with magnesium gas at 1,073-1,223 K in a reactor under argon gas. The high thermodynamic stability of magnesium oxide makes the reduction reaction from tantalum oxide into tantalum powder possible. The microstructure after the reduction reaction has the form of a mixture of tantalum and magnesium oxide, and the latter could be entirely eliminated by dissolving in weak hydrochloric acid. The powder size in SEM microstructure for the tantalum powder increases after acid leaching in the range of 50-300 nm, and its internal crystallite sizes are observed to be 11.5 to 24.7 nm with increasing reduction temperatures. Moreover, the optimized reduction temperature is found to be 1,173 K as the minimum oxygen concentration is approximately 1.3 wt.%.
