  • The fundamental characteristics of groundwater colloids, such as composition, concentration, size, and stability, were analyzed using granitic groundwater samples taken from the KAERI Underground Research Tunnel (KURT) site by such analytical methods as inductively coupled plasma-mass spectrometry, field emission-transmission electron microscopy, a liquid chromatography-organic carbon detector, and dynamic light scattering technique. The results show that the KURT groundwater colloids are mainly composed of clay minerals, calcite, metal (Fe) oxide, and organic matter. The size and concentration of the groundwater colloids were 10-250 nm and 33-64 ㎍·L-1, respectively. These values are similar to those from other studies performed in granitic groundwater. The groundwater colloids were found to be moderately stable under the groundwater conditions of the KURT site. Consequently, the groundwater colloids in the fractured granite system of the KURT site can form stable radiocolloids and increase the mobility of radionuclides if they associate with radionuclides released from a radioactive waste repository. The results provide basic data for evaluating the effects of groundwater colloids on radionuclide migration in fractured granite rock, which is necessary for the safety assessment of a high-level radioactive waste repository.

  • 본 연구에서는 우리나라의 경주에서 산출된 칼슘벤토나이트 콜로이드의 안정성에 대한 연구를 동적광산란 방법을 이 용하여 이온강도 및 pH 등의 지화학적 조건 변화에 따른 크기 변화를 관측함으로써 수행하였다. 속도론적 및 평형상태에서 pH 및 이온강도의 변화에 따른 칼슘벤토나이트 콜로이드의 크기변화를 관측하였다. 실험결과 칼슘벤토나이트 콜로이드의 안정성은 접촉시간, 매질의 이온강도와 pH 에 매우 크게 의존함을 보였으며 0.01 M $NaClO_4$ 이상의 이온강도에서는 고려된 대부분의 pH 에서 콜로이드가 불안정함을 보였다. 아울러 칼슘벤토나이트 콜로이드의 안정비 W와 CCC(Critical Coagulation Concentration) 등을 속도론적 응집 실험 자료들을 이용하여 계산하였다. 안정비 W는 이온강도가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 뚜렷하게 나타내었으며 pH 변화에 따른 W 값의 변화는 이온강도에 따라 다른 양상을 보였다. 또 pH 7 근처에서 칼슘벤토나이트 콜로이드의 CCC 는 약 0.05 M $NaClO_4$ 임을 알 수 있었다.

  • 토양 중에서 농약을 대공극과 숨골을 통하여 지하수로 이동시킬 수 있는 매체로 작용하는 물분산성 콜로이드 함량과 그 안정성은 여러 가지 토양의 이화학적 특성에 의해 결정된다. 본 연구에서는 제주도 감귤원에서 채취한 30개 토양을 사용하여 pH, 유기물, oxalate 용액 추출성 Al과 Fe 등이 물분산성 콜로이드의 함량에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 토양의 pH가 증가할수록 물분산성 콜로이드의 함량이 높았으며, pH 5$\sim$6 이상의 토양에서는 표면 음전하의 증가에 따라 콜로이드의 안정성이 높아질 가능성이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 낮은 pH 조건에서는 표면 음전하의 감소와 함께 활성 Al 또는 Fe 함량이 증가함에 따라 콜로이드의 응집 현상이 촉진되는 것으로 나타났다. 물분산성 콜로이드의 함량은 콜로이드의 입단화를 촉진시킬 수 있는 토양의 유기물 함량과 반비례하였으며, 유기탄소 함량 5% 이하의 토양에서 특히 물분산성 콜로이드의 함량이 많게 나타날 가능성이 높은 것으로 나타났다. Oxalate 용액 추출성 Al과 Fe 함량 또한 분산성 콜로이드의 함량과 반비례하였으며, Al과 Fe의 산화물 또는 수산화물들 그리고 치의 유기물 복합체는 토양 중에서 콜로이드 형태로 존재할 수도 있으나 점토광물의 입단화를 촉진시키는 결합제로 작용함으로써 물분산성 콜로이드의 분산을 억제하는 것으로 판단되었다.

  • 계면활성제 거품(foam)을 아예 형성하지 못하거나 foam 지속도가 매우 낮은 양이온성 계면활성제의 foam 지속성을 높이는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 음이온성 계면활성제를 보조제로 첨가하는 방법, 콜로이드를 혼합하는 방법, 수용성 수지인 폴리비닐알콜을 첨가하는 방법 등 다양한 시도를 평가하였다. 각 5% 양이온성 계면활성제 용액의 foam 지속도를 평가한 결과, Cationic starch (CA-ST)는 foam이 전혀 발생되지 않았지만, Methyl triethanol ammonium methyl sulfate distearyl ester (CEQ90)의 foam 지속시간은 평균 46초, Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CM29)는 평균 31초로서 매우 낮았다. 음이온성 계면활성제 Sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) 첨가는 양이온성 계면활성제의 종류에 따라 지속도가 매우 다르게 나타났다. Cationic starch (CA-ST)의 foam 지속도는 매우 크게 증가된 반면 CEQ90와 CM29는 오히려 감소되었다. 콜로이드($SiO_2$, kaolin) 혼합이 양이온성 계면활성제 foam 지속도에 미치는 영향을 평가한 결과, CA-ST는 콜로이드 혼합시 foam이 전혀 발생되지 않았고, CEQ90과 CM29는 콜로이드를 주입하였을 경우 주입을 하지 않았을 때보다 지속도가 높아졌다. 수용성수지인 polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)첨가가 양이온성 계면활성제 foam 지속도에 미치는 영향을 평가한 결과, CA-ST는 PVA혼합에서도 foam이 전혀 발생 되지 않았지만, CEQ90과 CM29는 PVA의 농도가 높을수록 foam 지속도가 증가하였다. 양이온성 계면활성제에 음이온성 계면활성제 SDS와 콜로이드를 동시에 첨가한 결과 콜로이드보다 음이온성 계면활성제에 의해 양이온성 계면활성제 foam 지속도가 결정되었다. 음이온성 계면활성제 SDS와 PVA를 동시에 첨가하여 평가한 결과 PVA보다 역시 음이온성 계면활성제에 의해 양이온성 계면활성제의 foam 지속도가 결정되었다. Foam을 전혀 형성하지 못했던 양이온성 계면활성제인 CA-ST는 음이온성 계면활성제 SDS 0.14%, PVA 2.5% 첨가 조건에서 foam 지속시간이 평균 8,780초로 획기적으로 증가하였고 타 양이온성 계면활성제 CEQ90 보다 약 8배 이상의 지속시간을 보여주었다. 본 연구결과 foam이 형성되지 않거나 지속시간이 매우 짧은 양이온성 계면활성제는 음이온성 계면활성제를 첨가할 경우 foam형성에 도움을 받을 수 있고 colloid 및 PVA 등의 보조를 통해 양이온성 계면활성제의 지속도를 혁신적으로 증가시킬 수 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 그리고 양이온 계면활성제의 foam 지속도는 음이온성 계면활성제의 첨가농도에 의해 가장 큰 영향을 받는 것으로 보인다.

  • High concentrated $TiO_2$ nano colloids were synthesized by sol-gel method. Reactions were performed in $TiCl_4$/HCl/$H_2O$ aqueous solution and the conditions of particles such as shape, size and aggregation, etc. were controlled by polymerization and adsorption of acrylamide in surface of $TiO_2$ nano particles. And also, aminopropyltriethoxysilane was added instead of acrylamide and compared each other. The prepared colloids were well dispersed and showed the strong absorption peaks at 350nm-370nm which is blue shifted to 20-30nm, compared to macro particles. The obtained techniques from $TiO_2$ nato colloids synthesis were utilized in coating on boron nitride powders which are nonpolar and isoelectronic materials of carbon. Their surface morphology, structure, thermal stability and U. V absorption chracteristics were examined by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy), XRD(X-ray diffraction), TG/DTA(Thermogravimetric and Differential Thermal Analysis), UV-VIS(Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy).

  • Radiation synovectomy is one of the most useful methods for treating patients with refractory synovitis because of its convenience, long-term effects, repeatability and the avoidance of surgery. In this study, we investigated the toxicity, stability and biodistribution of a rhenium-188 ($^{188}$Re)-tin colloid to evaluate its suitability as a synovectomy agent. Twenty four hours after injecting the $^{188}$Re-tin colloids (74 KBq/0.1 mL) into the tail vein of ICR mice, most of the $^{188}$Retin colloidal particles was found in the lungs. In addition, there were no particle size changes at either room temperature or at $37^{\circ}C$ after injecting the $^{188}$Re-tin colloids in human plasma and synovial fluid. In vitro stability tests showed that the $^{188}$Re-tin colloid remained in a colloidal form without a critical size variation over a 2-day period. We investigated the leakage of $^{188}$Retin colloids from the intraarticular injection site with gamma counting in New Zealand white rabbits. The $^{188}$Re-tin colloids (55.5 MBq/0.15 mL) were injected at the cavum articular and the mean retention percentage of the $^{188}$Re-tin colloid was 98.7% for 1 day at the injection site, which suggests that there was neither change in the particle size nor leakage at the injection sites. In the biodistribution study with the SD rats, the liver showed the highest radioactivity (0.0427% ID/organ) except for the injected knees (99.49%). In the SD rats, mild toxicities including the skin or a synovium inflammation were observed as a result of a radioactivity of 15 mCi/kg at the intraarticular injection site. However, there was no systemic toxicity. In the Ovalbumin (OVA)-induced arthritic rabbits, the $^{188}$Re-tin colloid improved the macroscopic, the histological score and reduced the knee joint diameter when compared to the arthritic control. In conclusion, a $^{188}$Re-tin-colloid is considered as a strong candidate for radiation synovectomy with a superior efficacy and safety.

  • The electrophoretic deposition(EPD) of ZnO nano-sized colloids is investigated by changing the colloid number concentration, applied force, and deposition time. The change of the colloid size in a suspension was examined by the different colloid number concentrations (N = $3.98{\times}10^{15}$, N = $3.98{\times}10^{14}$, and N = $3.98{\times}10^{13}$) with an increase of the deposition time and applied forces. Deposition behavior was investigated by changing the applied fields (from DC 5 V to 50 V) and the deposition time (5 min to 25 min). The surface microstructures of the as-deposited films were investigated by SEM. The dried films were sintered from $850^{\circ}C$ to $1,050^{\circ}C$ for 2 h and then the microstructures were also explored by SEM. The agglomeration rate was enhanced by increasing the colloid number concentration of colloids. Colloid number concentration in a suspension must be rapidly decreased at higher values of the electric field. ZnO nano-sized colloids had the highest zeta potential value of over -28 mV in methanol. A homogeneous microstructure was obtained at colloid number concentration of N = $3.98{\times}10^{13}$, applied DC field of 5 V/cm and 15 min of deposition time at an electrode distance of 1.5 cm. Under these conditions, the deposited films were sintered at $850^{\circ}C$ and $1,050^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. The results show a typical pore-free surface morphology of a uniform thickness of 400 nm under these experimental conditions.

  • Cypermethrin-containing polyurea microcapsules were prepared by interfacial polymerization using aromatic 2,4-toluene diisocyanate(TDI) and Ethylene diamine(EDA) as wall forming materials. The effects of the protective colloids of polyvinylalcohol(PVA) and gelatin were investigated through experimentation. The mean size of the polyurea microcapsules was smaller and the surface morphology of the PVA was much smoother than gelatin. In addition the release behavior was much more controlled and better sustained. As the concentration of protective colloid increased, the wall membrane of the polyurea microcapsules became more stable, the thermal stability of the wall membrane increased, the mean particle size became smaller, and the particle distribution was more uniform. The release behavior of the core material changed according to the concentration. As the gelatin concentration was increased, a more controlled and sustained release behavior was observed. However, in the case of PVA, the increase of PVA concentration lead to a more rapid release rate.
