  • Monodispersed porous NiO and $Co_3O_4$ microcapsules with a hollow core were synthesized using SBA-16 silica sol and PS as a hard template. The porous hollow microcapsules were characterized by XRD, TEM and $N_2$ adsorption/desorption analysis. After $H_2$ reduction of metal oxide microspheres, they were conducted as an active catalyst in the reduction of chiral butylronitrile and cyanobenzene. The mesoporous metals having a hollow structure showed a higher activity than a nonporous metal powder and an impregnated metal on the carbon support.

  • Ceramic nano pigments have attracted much interest owing to recent demand for nontoxic, heavy metal-free pigments. In general, ceramic pigments must possess thermal stability at high temperature, however nanosized powder easily undergoes aggregation at high temperature, and its color turns. serveral groups have focused on to minimize agglomeration and oxidation, a core-shell structure with a silica coating is suggested. In this review, we introduce the reported the trend of nano-ceramic powders and we summarized method improve color and physical properties throuth morphology control and ceramic coating technology.

  • CdSe nanocrystals (NCs) have been decorated on singlewalled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) by combining a method of chemically modified substrate along with gate-bias control. CdSe/ZnS core/shell quantum dots were negatively charged by adding mercaptoacetic acid (MAA). The silicon oxide substrate was decorated by octadecyltrichlorosilane (OTS) and converted to hydrophobic surface. The negatively charged CdSe NCs were adsorbed on the SWCNT surface by applying the negative gate bias. The selective adsorption of CdSe quantum dots on SWCNTs was confirmed by confocal laser scanning microscope. The measured photocurrent clearly demonstrates that CdSe NCs decorated SWCNT can be used for photodetector and solar cell that are operable over a wide range of wavelengths.

  • To determine three-dimensional fiber orientation states in injection-molded short fiber composites a CLSM (Confocal Laser Scanning Microscope) is used. Since the CLSM optically sections the composites, more than two cross-sections either on or below the surface of the composite can be obtained. Three dimensional fiber orientation states can be determined with geometric parameters of fibers on two parallel cross-sections. For experiment, carbon fiber reinforced polystyrene is examined by the CLSM. Geometric parameters of fibers are measured by image analysis. In order to compactly describe fiber orientation states, orientation tensors are used. Orientation tensors are determined at different positions of the prepared specimen. Three dimensional orientation states are obtained without the difficulty in determining the out-of-plane angles by utilizing images on two parallel planes acquired by the CLSM. Orientation states are different at different positions and show the shell-core structure along the thickness of the specimen.

  • This study evaluated a simple and useful route to the synthesis of mesoporous $TiO_2$ microcapsules with a hollow macro-core structure. A hydrophilic precursor sol containing the surfactants in the hydrophobic solvents was deposited on PMMA polymer surfaces modified by non-thermal plasma to produce mesoporous shells after calcination. The surface of the PMMA polymer spheres was coated with $NH_4F$ and CTAB to control the interfacial properties and promote the subsequent deposition of inorganic sols. These hollow type mesoporous $TiO_2$ microcapsules could be applied as an efficient substrate for the immobilization of DNA oligonucleotides.

  • A brief review on the thermal plasma synthesis of nano-sized powders is presented according to the application materials, such as, metals, ceramics, glasses, carbonaceous materials and other functional composites, such as, supported metal catalyst and core-shell structured nano materials. As widely adopted plasma sources available for thermal plasma synthesis of nanosized powders, three kinds of plasma torches, such as transferred and non-transferred DC and RF plasma torches, are introduced with the main features of each torch system. In the basis of the described torch features and the properties of suggested materials, application results including synthesis mechanism are reviewed in this paper.

  • Silica-coated Au with Ag, Co, Cu, and Ir bimetallic radioisotope nanoparticles were synthesized by neutron irradiation, after coating $SiO_2$ onto the bimetallic particles by the sol-gel St$\ddot{o}$ber process. Bimetallic nanoparticles were synthesized by irradiating aqueous bimetallic ions at room temperature. Their shell and core diameters were recorded by TEM to be 100 - 112 nm and 20 - 50 nm, respectively. The bimetallic radioisotope nanoparticles' gamma spectra showed that they each contained two gamma-emitting nuclides. The nanoparticles could be used as radiotracers in petrochemical and refinery processes that involve temperatures that would decompose conventional organic radioactive labels.

  • In the field of single-molecule spectroscopy, it is essential to analyze luminescence Intensity changes that result from a single molecule. With the CdSe/ZnS core-shell structured quantum dot photon emission data Bayesian multiple change-point estimation is done with the gamma prior for Poisson parameters and truncated Poisson distribution for the number of change-points.

  • High-energy mechanical action applied to solid leads to destruction and diminution to the nanosize level. But on the other hand, it can induce structural changes at the nanoscale and at the atomic level which can result in novel materials properties. In this contribution, case studies will be presented concerned with the tailoring of magnetic properties of mechanically treated nanomaterials. Emphasis is placed on materials that have been synthesized by mechanochemical means and on an improved understanding of their nanomagnetism in general. The associated local structural changes of the iron containing magnetic materials discussed in the examples have been studied most suitably by $^{57}Fe$ Mossbauer nuclear probe spectroscopy whose results are supplemented by measurements of the magnetic properties of the mechanosynthesized nanomaterials.

  • 전이금속 산화물은 비교적 높은 용량 (700~1000 mAh/g)을 갖기 때문에 차세대 리튬전지용 음극으로서 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 나노 코어-쉘 구조의 다공성 전이금속/전이금속 산화물 구조는 높은 비 표면적의 산화물과 높은 전기전도성을 가지는 금속 코어로 구성되어 고효율 리튬전지에 적용가능하다. 본 연구에서는 구리 소재 상에 나노코어구조의 구리/코발트 입자를 전기화학적으로 석출시킨 후 구리의 산화가 일어나지 않는 전해질/전위 조건에서 코발트만 선택적으로 산화시켜 코어-쉘 구조의 다공성 전이금속/전이금속 산화물 구조를 얻을 수 있었다. 제조된 나노 코어-쉘 구조의 다공성 전이금속/전이금속 산화물 입자를 리튬전지의 음극으로 사용하여 매우 우수한 충/방전 안정성을 나타냄을 확인할 수 있었다.
