In this study, sorption experiments of uranium onto silica colloids were carried out and the effects of important geochemical parameters such as pH, ionic strength, carbonate concentration, colloid concentration, and total concentration of uranium were investigated. The sorption coefficients of uranium for silica colloids named as pseudo-colloid formation constants were about 10$^4$~ 10$^{5}$ mL/g depending on the experimental conditions. The effects of the geochemical parameters were found to be important in the sorption of uranium onto silica colloids. A Langmuir type sorption isotherm of uranium between silica colloids and the solution phase was also presented. The sorption mechanisms were explained by analyzing the effects of the geochemical parameters.

An electrostatic interaction is responsible for the attachment of gold seeds of 1-3 nm onto APTMS (3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane)-coated silica cores in the formation of gold clusters. A surface plasmon resonance and morphology of gold clusters were significantly affected by the pH of gold colloids prepared by THPC reducing agent. Gold colloids of alkaline pH induced the heterogeneous deposition of gold seeds onto the silica nanoparticles, probably due to the continuous reduction of residual gold ions during the attachment process. Gold colloids of acidic pH induced the monodisperse deposition of gold seeds, consequently leading to the formation of smooth gold layer on the silica nanoparticles surface. The gold nanoshells (core radius = 80 nm) prepared by gold colloids of pH 3.1 exhibited the more red-shift and relatively stronger intensity of plasmon absorption bands, compared with gold nanoshells prepared by alkaline gold colloids of pH 9.7.

Manganese(III) 5-(4-carboxyphenyl)-10,15,20-triphenyl porphyrin chloride (Mn(TCPP)Cl) was grafted through amide bond on silica zeolite Y (HY), zeolite beta ($H{\beta}$) and hexagonal mesoporous silica (HMS). XRD, ICP-AES, $N_2$ physisorption, SEM, TEM, FTIR and thermal analysis were employed to analyse these novel heterogeneous materials. These silica supported catalysts were shown to be used for epoxidation and good shape selectivity was observed. The effect of support structure on catalytic performance was also discussed. The catalytic activity remained when the catalysts were recycled five times. The energy changes about epoxidation of alkenes by $NaIO_4$ and $H_2O_2$ were also computationally calculated to explain the different catalytic efficiency.

The behavior of optical properties of ion exchanged glasses was investigated inthis study. The used glasses were soda-lime-silica glasses that were produced by float process. The coloring effect by Ag colloids is measrued by spectral transmittance, color coordinates, dominant wavelength and excitation purity resulting from silver ions exchange of glasses immersed into the mixed molten salt with AgNO3. Ion exchange coloring of glasses made it possible to obtain glasses with a range from yellow to brown, and transmittance was decreased with increasing the amount of Ag colloids which reduced from Ag+ions. Also, obtain from yellow to reddish brown with increasing purity by reheating treatment in air for ion exchanged glasses. The size of Ag colloids are 0.02~0.1${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ with ion exchange conditions.

Core/shell ($\pm$)PS/(-)silica nanocomposite particles were synthesized by dispersion polymerization using an amphoteric initiator, 2,2'-azobis [N-(2-carboxyethyl)-2,2-methylpropionamidine] ($HOOC(CH_2)_2HN$(HN=) $C(CH_3)_2CN$=NC $(CH_3)_2C$(=NH)NH $(CH_2)_2COOH$), VA-057. Negatively charged (-6.9 mV) silica was used as the stabilizer. The effects of silica addition time and silica and initiator concentrations were investigated in terms of polymerization kinetics, ultimate particle morphology, and size/size distribution. Uniform hybrid microspheres with a well-defined, core-shell structure were obtained at the following conditions: silica content = 10-15 wt% to styrene, VA-057 content=above 2 wt% to styrene and silica addition time=0 min after initiation. The delay in silica addition time retarded the polymerization kinetics and broadened the particle size distribution. The rate of polymerization was strongly affected by the silica content: it increased up to 15 wt% silica but then decreased with further increase in silica content. However, the particle size was only marginally influenced by the silica content. The zeta potential of the composite particles slightly decreased with increasing silica content. With increasing VA-057 concentration, the PS microspheres were entirely coated with silica sol above 1.0 wt% initiator.

Anti-reflection film was coated by using spherical silica nano colloids. Silica colloid sol was reserved between two inclined slide glasses by capillary force, and particles were convectively stacked to form a film onto the substrate as the water evaporates. As the sliding speed increased, the thickness of the film decreased and the wavelength at the maximum transmittance decreased. The microstructure observed by SEM showed that silica particles were nearly close packed, which enabled the calculation of the effective refractive index of the film. The film thickness was measured by proffer and calculated from the wavelength of maximum transmittance and the effective refractive index. The effective refractive index of the film could be controlled by a subtle controlling of the coating speed and by mixing two different sized silica particles. When the 100 nm and 50 m particles were mixed at 4:1-5:1 volume ratio, the maximum transmittance of $95.2\%$ for one-sided coating was obtained. This is the one that has increased by $3.8\%$ compared to bare glass substrate, and shows that $99.0\%$ of transmittance or $1.0\%$ of reflectance can be achieved by the simple process if both sides of the substrate are coated.

$St\"{o}ber$ process를 이용하여 단분산 콜로이드 실리카를 제조하였다. 초기물질인 TEOS(Tetraethylorthosilicate)와 $NH_4OH$, 에탄올 및 증류수의 함유량을 조절하여 100 nm급, 200 nm급, 300 nm급 크기의 단분산 실리카 입자를 제조할 수 있었고, 제조된 실리카 입자는 Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM) 및 laser scattering particle analyzer를 통해 관찰하였다. Dipcoating 공정을 이용하여 제조된 300 nm 크기의 콜로이드 실리카의 자기 배열성(self-assembly) 형성에 관한 연구를 진행하였다. 다양한 코팅 공정 변수(표면장력, 표면전하, 입자의 함유량)의 조절을 통하여 dip coating시에 자기 배열성 단층막(monolayer)을 형성해 낼 수 있는 조건을 최적화하였고, SEM으로 관찰해 본 결과, 최적 조건 상태에서 비교적 넓은 영역 (1.5 mm ${\times}$ 1.5 mm)에서 hexagonally ordered packing된 콜로이드 입자 결정 단층막을 얻을 수 있었다.

Kinetic study on the colloidal crystallization of single component and mixture of different sizes or densities of spheres was made in the exhaustively deionized suspensions and in microgravity, and compared with the results in normal gravity. Colloidal crystallization rates were retarded in microgravity for single component of spheres, whereas rates of alloy crystallization were enhanced substantially in microgravity. The rotational diffusion coefficients of colloids and the formation reaction rates of colloidal silica spheres were also studied in microgravity.

구형 실리카 나노 콜로이드 입자를 이용하여 반사방지막을 제조하였다. 실리카 콜로이드 현탁액을 모세관 힘을 이용하여 기울어진 두 장의 유리판 사이에 저장한 후 위의 유리를 이동시켜 반사 방지막을 코팅하였다. 상판 유리의 이동속도가 빨라질수록 막의 두께는 감소하였고, 막의 두께 변화에 따라 광 투과율이 변하였다. SEM으로 관찰된 실리카 나노 입자는 최밀충진에 가깝게 유리 기판에 부착되어 있었으며, 이로부터 고체 입자와 기공을 포함하는 막의 유효 굴절율을 구하였다. 최대의 광투과율을 나타내는 파장과 유효 굴절율로 부터 계산한 막의 두께는 SEM 사진 및 profiler로 구한 값과 잘 일치하였다. $94.7\%$의 최대 광투과율을 얻었으며, 양면으로 코팅한다면 $97.4\%$의 투과율 즉 $1.3\%$의 반사율을 얻을 수 있는 것으로 나타났다.

Zeta potential measurements of colloid particles suspended in a liquid are performed by a Zeta Meter developed. There are many applications of colloid stability in spray technology, paints, wastewater treatment, and pharmaceuticalse. Zeta potentials of charged particles are obtained by measuring the electrophoretic velocities of the particles using video enhanced microscopy and image analysis program. The values of zeta potential of polystyrene latex(PSL), $silica(SiO_2)$M, polyvinylidence difluoride(PVDF), silicon nitride, and alumina particles in deionized (DI) water were measured to be -40.5, -31.9, -25.2, -15.1 and -10.1mV, respectively. The particles having high zeta potential less than -20 mV are stable in DI water, because the double layers of them have strong repulsive forces mutually, and the particles having low zeta potential over -20mV are unstable due to Van Der Waals forces. Silica(>20nm), PSL, aluminum and PVDF particles were found to be stable that would remain separate and well disperse, while silicon nitride and alumina particles were found to be unstable that would gradually agglomerate in DI water.
