본 실험에서는 물유리를 사용하여 산세척에 의하여 제조된 산화철 입자의 표면개질에 대하여 연구하였다. 사용한 물유리의 $SiO_2$와 $Na_2O$의 몰비($SiO_2/Na_2O$)는 1, 2, 3.5이였다. 첨가되는 실리카의 양과 pH에 따라 산화철 현탁액의 분산성을 입자의 표면하전과 침강속도에 의하여 평가하였다. 그리고, 중성 영역에서 산화철 입자의 분산안정성을 유지할 수 있는 표면개질제(실리카)의 양을 도출하였으며, 물유리에 의한 산화철 입자의 표면개질을 습식 볼밀링에 의하여 슬러리 상태에서 실시하였다. 그 결과, 표면처리한 산화철 현탁액의 분산 안정성은 실리카의 양과 pH에 상호 의존하였다. 미처리한 산화철은 등전점인 pH 8에서 분산안정성을 잃고 있었으나, 산화철에 대하여 약 0.8wt%의 실리카로 표면처리한 산화철은 pH 5 이상 중성영역에서 분산안정성을 나타내었으며, 음이온성 계면활성제를 0.2wt% 이상 첨가에 의한 분산안정성이 더욱 증가되었다.

본 연구는 높은 분산 안정성을 유지하는 antimony-doped tin oxide (ATO) 분산액을 제조하기 위하여, 습식 볼밀법으로 분쇄시간에 따른 ATO의 입자크기, 입도분포, 분산성의 변화를 고찰하였다. 또한 각각의 습식 볼밀 처리된 ATO 분산액의 pH를 변화시켜 ATO 분산액의 분산 특성을 고찰하였다. 습식 볼밀 분쇄 조건에 의하여 ATO의 입자크기 및 입도 분포 변화는 레이저회절 입도분석기와 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 평가하였고, 습식 볼밀 분쇄 시간 및 pH조건에 따른 ATO 입자의 분산성은 제타전위 측정법과 다중광산란(multiple light scattering)법을 이용하여 평가하였다. 분쇄 조건 중 60 min 동안 처리된 ATO 입자 크기는 30% 이하로 작아지고, $1{\sim}35{\mu}m$에서 $0.1{\sim}5{\mu}m$로 입도분포를 갖는 균일한 입자를 얻을 수 있었다. 그러나 분쇄조건을 60 min 이상 처리한 것은 역분쇄 및 재응집 현상의 발생으로 인하여 한계 분쇄 시간이 나타나는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로부터 ATO 분산액은 습식 볼밀 분쇄 시간을 증가시킬수록 입자 크기가 감소하고 표면 에너지가 증가하여 입자간의 반발력이 커지게 됨을 알 수 있었고, 또한 용액의 pH를 증가시킬수록 입자의 표면 이온화도가 커짐으로 인하여 ATO 분산액의 분산성이 향상되는 것을 알 수 있었다.

The generation of energy and the cooling of system using thermoelectric semiconductor material have been in spotlight. Thermoelectric effect increases with the decrease of the thermal conductivity. In the thermoelectric devices, thermal conductivity is related to phonon scattering. Therefore, few studies have been conducted in the thermoelectric materials dispersed nano oxide particle for increasing the phonon scattering. However, core-shell structure which nano particle disperses in solvents and then which thermoelectric materials coated on the nano oxide particles has not been reported. In this study, we selected commercial nano powder such as $Al_2O_3$. This nano particle was about 20nm and was crushed aggregate by mechanical treatment. We have developed the effect of the dispersant and the solvent. The properties of particles were evaluated by SEM, TEM, particle size analysis, and BET. Dispersion and dispersion stability were evaluated by electronic microscope and turbidity.

The relation between the flocculation and dispersion of metal oxide powders and the properties of solvents, such as dielectric constant and solubility parameter, was investigated for TiO$_2$, $Al_2$O$_3$and Fe$_2$O$_3$particles. The particle size and median diameter of these metal oxides were measured in many organic solvents, from which the effect of solvents on the flocculation and dispersion of metal oxide powders was considered. The metal oxide powders of TiO$_2$, $Al_2$O$_3$and Fe$_2$O$_3$tend to disperse in a solvent of higher polarity, whereas they are apt to flocculate in a solvent of low dielectric constant, because the Hamaker constant between the particles becomes larger in such a solvent. There we, however, some solvents that do not obey these tendencies. It is possible to evaluate the flocculation and dispersion of these metal oxide powders in many solvents by using numeral balances of Hansen’s three-dimensional solubility parameter (f$_{d}$, f$_{p}$ and f$_{h}$). There exists a solvent giving the optimal dispersion for each metal oxide, and the optimal dispersion point of f$_{d}$, f$_{p}$ and f$_{h}$ is determined by the combination of various metal oxide powders and solvents.nts.nts.nts.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the dispersion degree of particles using a nanoindentation test for titanium oxide nanoparticles/epoxy resin nanocomposites. Thus, the effects of the particle size and weight fraction, dispersion agent, and position of the sample on the modulus and degree of particle dispersion in the nanocomposites were investigated. As a result, the dispersion degree of large particles was found to be better than that of smaller particles in composites. It could be found that the aggregation or agglomeration of small particles with large surface energy occurred more easily in nanocomposites because of the large specific surface area. The moduli of the upper side of the film-shaped sample obtained from a nanoindentation test were low scattering, while the values for the bottom side were high scattering. Thus, the dispersion situation of the nanoparticles on the upper side of film-shaped samples could be considered to be better than that for the bottom side. This could be concluded due to the non-uniform nanoparticle dispersion in the same sample. The modulus obtained from nanoindentation test increased slightly with the content of nanoparticles and increased with the indented depth for the same sample. The latter is presumably due to the increase in the accumulated particles facing the indenter with the indented depth. The nanoindentation test was found to be a useful method to evaluate the dispersion status of nanoparticles in nanocomposites.

Acid food indicators can be used as pH indicators for evaluating the quality and freshness of fermented products during the full course of distribution. Iron oxide particles are hardly suspended in water, but partially or completely agglomerated. The agglomeration degree of the iron oxide particles depends on the pH. The pH-dependent particle agglomeration or dispersion can be useful for monitoring the acidity of food. The zeta potential of iron oxide showed a decreasing trend as the pH increased from 2 to 8, while the point of zero charge (PZC) was observed around at pH 6.0-7.0. These results suggested that the size of the iron oxide particles was affected by the change in pH levels. As a result, the particle sizes of iron oxide were smaller at lower pH than at neutral pH. In addition, agglomeration of the iron oxide particles increased as the pH increased from 2 to 7. In the time-dependent aggregation test, the average particle size was 730.4 nm and 1,340.3 nm at pH 2 and 7, respectively. These properties of iron oxide particles can be used to develop an ideal acid indicator for food pH and to monitor food quality, besides a colorant or nutrient for nutrition enhancement and sensory promotion in food industry.

The purpose of this study was to improve the properties of epoxy resin using titanium oxide nanoparticles. The effects of particle weight fraction, dispersion agent, and curing agents with different molecular weights on the thermal and mechanical properties of titanium-oxide-reinforced epoxy resin were investigated. In addition, the effect of the particle dispersion condition on the mechanical properties of nanocomposites was studied. As a result, it was found that the glass transition temperature of film-shaped nanocomposites decreased with an in-crease in the nanoparticle content. Because nanoparticles interrupted the cross linkage between the epoxy resin and the amine curing agent, the cross-link density of the epoxy became lower and led to a decrease in $T_g$ in the nanocompo-sites. The tensile strength and modulus in film-shaped nanocomposites also increased with the particles content. But in the case of dog-bone-shaped nanocomposites, the values were not similar to the trend for the film-shaped nanocompo-sites. This was probably a result of the different nanoparticles dispersions in the epoxy resins resulting from the respective-thicknesses of the film and dog-bone-shaped samples.

An optimum route to fabricate oxide dispersion strengthened ferritic superalloy with desired microstructure was investigated. Two methods of high energy ball milling or polymeric additive solution route for developing a uniform dispersion of $Y_2O_3$ particles in Fe-Cr-Al-Ti alloy powders were compared on the basis of the resulting microstructures. Microstructural observation revealed that the crystalline size of Fe decreased with increases in milling time, to values of about 15-20 nm, and that an FeCr alloy phase was formed. SEM and TEM analyses of the alloy powders fabricated by solution route using yttrium nitrate and polyvinyl alcohol showed that the nano-sized Y-oxide particles were well distributed in the Fe based alloy powders. The prepared powders were sintered at 1000 and $1100^{\circ}C$ for 30 min in vacuum. The sintered specimen with heat treatment before spark plasma sintering at $1100^{\circ}C$ showed a more homogeneous microstructure. In the case of sintering at $1100^{\circ}C$, the alloys exhibited densified microstructure and the formation of large reaction phases due to oxidation of Al.

원자력발전소의 2차 계통수 중에 존재하는 철산화물(magnetite)은 열전달 튜브의 표면에 침착(fouling)되어 열전달 성능을 떨어뜨리거나 부식을 유발한다. 이와 같은 문제를 방지하기 위해, 원전 2차 계통수 중에 고분자 분산제(polymeric dispersant) 주입을 통해 철산화물의 분산 안정성 향상을 도모하는 연구를 수행하였다. 카르복실기(-COOH, carboxyl group)를 함유한 3종의 음 이온성 고분자(PAA, PMA, PAAMA)를 선정하였으며, 이들에 농도변화(1~1000 ppm)에 의한 마그네타이트 분산 특성을 평가하기 위해 침강시험, 투과율 측정, 입도 측정, 제타전위 측정을 수행하였다. 고분자 분산제는 수용액 중 철산화물 분산안정성에 큰 영향을 미쳤다. 분산제가 주입되면 분산 안정성이 향상되는 경향을 보였으나, 분산제 농도 증가에 따라 마그네타이트의 분산 안정성이 선형적으로 비례하여 증가하지 않았다. 이는 임계 분산제 농도 이상에서는 철산화물 사이의 응집(agglomeration)이 발생하기 때문인 것으로 사료된다. 분산안전성 향상 효과는 분산제-철산화물의 농도비(ppm, 분산제/마그네타이트)가 0.01~0.1 범위에서 현저하였다. 분산제 주입을 통한 철산화물 제거 효과를 최대화하기 위해서는 적용 환경 특성, 철산화물 농도, 분산제 농도 및 철산화물-분산제 농도비의 최적화가 필요한 것으로 판단된다.
