In this study, we used coal based activated carbons as starting material and phenolic resin (PR) as a bonding agent to prepare spherical shaped activated carbons. The textural properties of SAC were characterized by BET surface area, XRD, SEM, iodine adsorption, strength intensity and pressure drop. According to the results, the spherical activated carbon prepared with activated carbon and PR at a ratio of 60:40 was found to have the best formation of spherical shape, which was found in sample SAC40. After activation, SAC40 has high BET surface area, iodine adsorption capability and strength value, and lowest pressure drop.

Silicon-based thin film was prepared at room temperature by an electrochemical deposition method and a feasibility study was conducted for its use as an anode material in a rechargeable lithium battery. The growth of the electrodeposits was mainly concentrated on the surface defects of the Cu substrate while that growth was trivial on the defect-free surface region. Intentional formation of random defects on the substrate by chemical etching led to uniform formation of deposits throughout the surface. The morphology of the electrodeposits reflected first the roughened surface of the substrate, but it became flattened as the deposition time increased, due primarily to the concentration of reduction current on the convex region of the deposits. The electrodeposits proved to be amorphous and to contain chlorine and carbon, together with silicon, indicating that the electrolyte is captured in the deposits during the fabrication process. The silicon in the deposits readily reacted with lithium, but thick deposits resulted in significant reaction overvoltage. The charge efficiency of oxidation (lithiation) to reduction (delithiation) was higher in the relatively thick deposit. This abnormal behavior needs to clarified in view of the thickness dependence of the internal residual stress and the relaxation tendency of the reaction-induced stress due to the porous structure of the deposits and the deposit components other than silicon.

A blade-abrading method was newly developed for the preparation of clean Mg alloy surface and reported for the first time in detail in this paper. The blade-abrading method includes abrading of the Mg alloy surface with a sharp blade or knife to remove the surface oxide and contaminants on the skin of Mg alloys mechanically, thereby providing very clean surface of Mg alloys. The clean surface prepared by the blade-abrading method in the air was found to be covered with thin and dense air-formed oxide films. Based on the experimental results obtained in this work, it is concluded that the newly developed blade-abrading technique is a very simple and useful pretreatment method which can provide clean and well-defined surface for the following surface treatments.

Magnesium hydroxide-melamine core-shell particles were prepared through the coating of melamine monomer on the surface of magnesium hydroxide in the presence of phosphoric acid. The melamine monomer was dissolved in hot water but recrystallized on the surface of magnesium hydroxide by quenching to room temperature in the presence of phosphoric acid. The core-shell particle was applied to low-density polyethylene/ ethylene vinyl acetate (LDPE/EVA) resin by melt-compounding at $180^{\circ}C$ as flame retardant. The effect of magnesium hydroxide and melamine content has been studied on the flame retardancy of the core-shell particles in LDPE/EVA resin according to the preparation process and purity of magnesium hydroxide. Magnesium hydroxide prepared with sodium hydroxide rather than with ammonia solution revealed higher flame retardancy in core-shell particles with LDPE/EVA resin. At 50 wt% loading of flame retardant, core-shell particles revealed higher flame retardancy compared to that of the exclusive magnesium hydroxide in LDPE/EVA composite, and it was possible to satisfy the V0 grade in the UL-94 vertical test. The synergistic flame retardant effect of magnesium hydroxide and melamine core-shell particles was explained as being due to the endothermic decomposition of magnesium hydroxide and melamine, which was followed by the evolution of water from the magnesium hydroxide and porous char formation due to reactive nitrogen compounds, and carbon dioxide generated from melamine.

Sample preparation including dehydration and drying of samples is the most intricate part of scanning electron microscopy. Most current sample preparation protocols use critical-point drying with liquid carbon dioxide. Very few studies have reported samples that were dried using chemical reagents. In this study, we used hexamethyldisilazane, a chemical drying reagent, to prepare plant samples. As glandular trichomes are among the most fragile and sensitive surface structures found on plants, we used Millingtonia hortensis leaf samples as our study materials because they contain abundant glandular trichomes. The results obtained using this new method are identical to those produced via critical-point drying.

필름 형태의 Polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS)은 표면 개질을 하기 위해 Plasma 처리 또는 Corona 처리를 하여 표면을 -OH기로 활성화시키는 공정이나, 피착제와 PDMS 필름의 접착 또는 Adhesion promoter와 축합 반응을 통해 PDMS 표면을 다른 작용기로 개질시키는 공정, Grafting polymerization을 이용하는 PDMS 개질 공정이 주로 이용된다. 그러나 Plasma나 Corona 처리 후에 친수성이 오래가지 못하고, 보관에 어려움이 있다. 따라서, 본 연구에서는 코팅 공정을 통하여서 PDMS표면 개질을 하기 위해서, 먼저 새로운 형태의 실란 기능화 아크릴 고분자 전구체를 합성하고 이를 Hydroxyl-terminated PDMS와의 축합 반응을 통해 아크릴 고분자와 PDMS 고분자가 결합된 형태의 표면 개질제를 제조한 후, 이를 PDMS 필름 위에 코팅하였다. 제조한 표면 개질제의 구조와 분자량을 확인하기 위하여 1H-NMR과 GPC를 분석하였고, 표면 개질제가 코팅된 PDMS표면 특성 변화를 확인하기 위하여 XPS, ATR, WCA를 이용하여 표면 특성을 조사하였으며, PDMS 필름과의 부착을 확인하기 위해 Cross cutting test를 진행하였다. 그 결과 PDMS 필름 표면이 아크릴 고분자층이 형성된 것으로 확인하였고, PDMS 필름과 표면 개질제와의 부착성 (4 - 5B) 또한 우수한 것을 확인하였다.

Oil-based nanofluids were prepared by dispersing nonconducting fibrous $Al_2O_3$ and spherical AlN nanoparticles in transformer oil. In this study, the effects of wet grinding and surface modification of particles on thermal and electrical properties of nanofluids were investigated. Grinding experiments were conducted with high-speed bead mill and ultrasonic homogenizer and nanoparticles were surface modified by oleic acid and polyoxyethylene alkyl acid ester(PAAE) in n-hexane or transformer oil, at the same time. It is obvious that the combination of nanoparticle, dispersant and dispersion solvent is very important for the dispersity of nanofluids. For nanofluids containing 1.0vol.% AlN particles in transformer oil, the enhancement of thermal conductivity was 11.6% compared with pure transformer oil. However, the electric-insulating property of AlN nanofluids was very low due to used dispersant itself. Therefore, the effect of the dispersant on thermal/electrical/physical properties of the transformer oil should be considered before selecting a proper dispersant.

금속동-흑연복합분말을 제조하기 위하여 염화동을 흑연주위에서 수소환원시킴으로써 흑연표면에 금속동을 석출시키는 새로운 방법으로 흑연-금속동 복합재료를 제조하고자 하였으며, 이를 위해 325 mesh이하의 KISH및 천연흑연을 모재로 하여 350-50$0^{\circ}C$의 환원온도에서 염화동을 환원시키는 실험을 실시하였다. 금속동의 분산도는 환원온도가 낮을수록 양호한 것으로 나타났으며, 금속동의 분산도를 높이기 위해서는 가능한한 환원온도를 낮게하는 것이 유리한 것으로 나타났다.

In this study, the technology to grow oriented nanotube thin film from dip-coated $TiO_2$ using hydrothermal method has been successfully developed. The effects of preparation parameters, such as reaction temperature, duration and post treatment conditions on the film morphologies and the adherence to the substrate, have been examined. A general formation mechanism of oriented titanate nanotube thin film is proposed in terms of the detailed observation of the products via two dimensional surface FESEM studies and HRTEM images. The overall formation of $TiO_2-based$ nanotube thin film can be summarized with three successive steps: (1) $TiO_2$ dissolving and amorphous $Na_2TiO_3$ deposition process; (2) layered $Na_2Ti_3O_7$ formation via spontaneous crystallization and rapid growth process; (3) formation of nanotube thin film via $Na_2Ti_3O_7$ splitting and multilayer scrolling process of (100) planes around the c axis of $Na_2Ti_3O_7$.
