은나노입자는 살균 효과 때문에 농업현장에서 사용되고 있다. 그러나 은나노입자가 토질에 미치는 영향에 대해서는 아직 많은 정보가 없다. 그러므로 비료가 처리 되었을 때 특히 토양에 은나노입자를 처리한 효과에 대한 검증이 반드시 필요하다. 가리계 비료를 모의 실험하기 위해서 토양에 염화가리를 은나노입자와 함께 처리하였다. 은과 염소의 농도는 처리 후 78 내지 84% 그리고 kg 당 3.4 mg 정도 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 그리고 은나노입자와 염화가리를 혼합하였을 때 미생물의 숫자가 증가하였다. 이러한 결과로부터 비료시용은 토양에서 은나노입자의 살생물 효과에 영향을 미친다.

In this study, the effects of silver treatment and activation on the physical and chemical properties of spherical activated carbon (SAC) were studied. The textural properties of SAC were characterized by BET surface area, XRD, SEM, iodine adsorption, strength intensity, pressure drop and antibacterial effects. BET surface areas of SACs decreased with an increase of the amount of PR before and after activation, and the BET surface areas of SACs were found to be about 2-3 times the size of those before activation. The XRD patterns showed their existing state as stable Ag crystals and carbon structure. The Ag particles are seaweedlike and uniform, being approximately 5-10 μm in size deposited on the surface of activated carbon. All of the samples had much more iodine adsorption capability after activation than before activation. The strength values of SACs increased with an increase of the amount of PR, and there was a smaller drop in the strength values of SACs with silver treatment than with non-silver treatment after activation. The Ag-SAC composites showed strong antibacterial activity against Escherichia coli (E. Coli).

Background The treatment of pressure ulcers is complicated, given the various wound dressing products available. The cost of different treatments varies and the cost-effectiveness of each product has not been thoroughly evaluated. We compare two wound dressing protocols-alginate silver dressing (AlSD) and silver zinc sulfadiazine cream (AgZnSD) with regard to wound healing and cost-effectiveness Methods Patients with grade III or IV sacral or trochanteric pressure ulcers were eligible for this prospective, randomized controlled trial. The patients were randomized to receive one of the two dressings for an eight-week period. The criteria of efficacy were based on the Pressure Ulcer Scale for Healing (PUSH) scoring tool. The cost of treatment was also assessed. Results Twenty patients (12 women and 8 men) were randomly assigned to receive either AlSD (n=10) or AgZnSD cream (n=10). The demographic data and wound characteristics were comparable in the two groups. The two groups showed no significant difference in the reduction of PUSH score, wound size, or volume of exudate. The tissue type score was significantly lower in the AlSD group ($3.15{\pm}0.68-1.85{\pm}0.68$ vs. $2.73{\pm}0.79-2.2{\pm}0.41$; P=0.015). The cost of treatment was significantly lower in the AlSD group (377.17 vs. 467.74 USD, respectively; P<0.0001). Conclusions Alginate silver dressing could be effectively used in the treatment of grade III and IV pressure ulcers. It can improve wound tissue characteristics and is cost-effective.

We demonstrated narrow and good aspect-ratio inkjet-printed silver lines with multi-time over-printing methods. By using this strategy, narrow silver lines were obtained with 200 nm thickness and their width and gap between printed lines of uniform narrow silver lines were 30 ${\mu}m$ and 17 ${\mu}m$, respectively. It also had good conductivity, sheet resistacne of 0.36 ${\Omega}/{\square}$ and specific resistance of $8{\mu}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$. In current stress test, narrow silver line with 30 ${\mu}m$ width was able to a current flow up to 50 mA (2.1A/$cm^2$). Using surface treatment on poly-arylate substrate with $UVO_3$, we obtained clean-edge narrow line without any edge waviness.

Conductive polymers, prepared by mixing electrically conductive fillers with a suitable polymeric formulation, are widely used in applications such as interconnecting materials for high density electronic packaging. However, resins of conductive pastes used as binders and vehicles are generally nonconductive, so that they may prevent the electrical contact between conductive fillers and reduce electron transmission. In this study, we improved conductivity of silver paste by the incorporation of cabon nanotubes. It is important to achieve homogeneous dispersion of CNTs to act as reinforcements efficiently in matrix. We carried out acid treatment on nanotubes for their homogeneous dispersion in silver/conducting polymer matrix. The dispersion states of nanotubes were characterized by raman spectra and filed emission scanning electron microscope. The electrical resistivity of CNTs incorporated silver paste was also measured by 4-point probe method.

Silver nanowire (AgNW) random-meshes with high transmittance, low sheet resistance, and high oxidation stability and flexibility were fabricated using solution-based processes. The random-mesh structure was obtained by forming bubbles whose sizes and densities were controlled using a corona treatment of polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates. To reduce the sheet resistance of the fabricated AgNW electrode, a washing process using ethanol solution was performed. In addition, nickel (Ni) was coated on AgNW to improve resistance to oxidation. The effects of corona treatment and Ni-coating on the transmittance, sheet resistance, oxidation stability, and flexibility of the AgNW electrodes were investigated.

This study provides improved wrinkle recovery and UV protection capabilities as well as an antibacterial and deodorizing function to linen fabrics for summer shirts. The results obtained from this study are as follows. By setting catalyst concentration to 1.2% and DMDHEU concentration to 6% respectively and applying a heat treatment to them at $160^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes, the decrease of fabric strength could be minimized and the crease resistance of linen fabrics improved. Compared to the treatment with DMDHEU only, the crease resistance of linen fabrics could be maintained and degradation of their properties could be more effectively prevented by applying the mixture of the UV absorber and the nano silver to the DMDHEU resin. The UV protection of fabrics could be improved by adding the UV absorber. Although the separate treatment of resin or the nano silver had no effect on the improvement of the UV protection properties for treated fabrics, they could increase the UV protection capability when they were combined with the UV absorber. Linen fabrics could possess an antibiosis and deodorizing capability by applying the mixture of the UV absorber, the nano silver, and the resin. The UV protection, crease resistance and flexibility of finished fabrics were maintained even after laundering. Washed treated fabrics maintained excellent antibiosis and odor free capabilities compared to untreated fabrics.

Inkjet technology have many merits in plenty of industrial applications. However, deposited droplet has a very critical issue that is coffee ring effect, for the application to an industrial manufacturing process. To remove the coffee ring effect, the effect of thermal treatment conditions on shapes of inkjet printed silver patterns were investigated in various surface condition. The surface changes were characterized by the contact angle measurement. Droplets from a 50 ${\mu}m$ nozzle were printed on the substrate after optimizing the ejection of individual droplets. Ink with a high boiling point of main solvent results in coffee ring effect. This result implies that the dominant factor that determines the shape of droplet is the drying conditions of main solvent of silver nanoparticle colloidal ink. As a results, selecting a proper thermal treatment conditions is very crucial for better shapes of inkjet printed silver nanoparticle colloidal patterns.

Excessive growth of phytoplankton is a common and severe problem in intensively farmed pangasiid catfish (Pangasius hypophthalmus) culture ponds. It can lead to cyanobacterial blooms, reduced fish growth, bad-tasting fish flesh, and lower market demand. To investigate how to manage undesirable phytoplankton growth, we evaluated three stocking strategies in nine rural fishponds (0.020-0.022 ha) owned by various farmers: a pangasiid catfish mono culture (treatment 1, $T_1$), and pangasiid catfish-silver carp (Hypophthalmichthys molitrix) polycultures at two stocking ratios of 1:1 (treatment 2, $T_2$) and 2:1 (treatment 3, $T_3$). The total density of all ponds was approximately 30,000 fishes/ha. Monoculture ($T_1$) resulted in significantly higher (p < 0.05) nutrient levels (nitrate and phosphate) in ponds than did polyculture ($T_2$ and $T_3$). Nutrient loads increased with culture time, resulting in increased growth of phytoplankton, including Cyanophyceae (9 genera), Chlorophyceae (15 genera), Bacillariophyceae (8 genera), and Euglenophyceae (3 genera). The introduction of silver carp as a co-species helped to regulate phytoplankton growth and to improve the water quality of pangasiid catfish culture ponds.
