To estimate dispersion stability of particles, suspending power and particle size were examined as functions of pHs, surfactants, electrolytes and ionic strengths using ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particle as the model of particulate soil. Suspending power and particle size were determined by UV-Vis spectrumeter and by light scattering using the polarization ratio method, respectively. The suspending power was relatively high with polyanion electrolytes and was low with neutral salts. The suspending power was biphasis, minimum pH 6~7, and the effect of surfactant on the suspending power was insignificant. Generally suspending power increased with decreasing the particle size governed aggregation of dispersed particles regardless of solution conditions. Hence the suspending power was inversely related to the particle size.

나노입자는 일반적인 크기의 입자에서 볼 수 없는 특성을 나타내므로 촉매, 광학, 자성기록매체, 자성유체로의 자유로운 응용이 기대되어지고 있으며, 다양한 조성의 나노재료 및 제조공정에 관한 연구개발이 활발히 이루어지고 있는 추세이다. 이중 나노재료제조공정은 기상응축, 열분해법, 플라즈마법 및 볼밀링법 등이 상용화되어 있으며, 본 연구에서는 화학적균일성과 다양한 조성으로의 응용이 용이한 화학기상응축공정을 이용하여 Fe/N나노분말을 제조하였다. 제조된 Fe/N 나노 분말의 분해온도 ($50^{\circ}C$~$1100^{\circ}C$)에 따른 미세조직의 변화를 고분해능전자현미경(HRTEM)을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 그 결과 분해온도에 따라 Amorphous +$\alpha$-Fe nanocrystallites $\rightarrow$ Amorphous +$\alpha$-Fe nanocrystallites + $Fe_3N$ nanocrystallites $\rightarrow$ $Fe_3N$ nanocrystallites로 상태변이가 일어났으며, $1100^{\circ}C$의 경우 약 5-6nm크기의 산화막이 형성되어 있으며, 이는 코어두RP의 약 28%를 차지하고 있다.

Sintered bodies were prepared from ${\alpha} - Al_2O_3/SiO_2$ composite powders which each alumina particles were surrounded by silica particles and investigated the mullitization behavior on the process of reaction - sintering. Mullitized reaction was started by formation of amorphous aluminosilicate inter - layer and proceeded by diffusion of alumina through this inter-layer. The growth of mullite was happened along the surface of alumina and controlled by the rate of diffusion.

An experimental study for an optimum etching of commercialized cellulose nitrate SSNTD, CA 80-15 and LR 115-1 for detecting alpha particles, was carried out. Alt-hough ordinary etching condition of the detectors has been recommended by the producer, a remarkable discrepancy in etching tine was found. The detectors were irradiated with a $0.1{\mu}Ci\;^{241}Am$ alpha source under a known geometrical arrangement. Analysis on the track size as functions of etching time and etchant concentration and comparative examination of theoretically predicted number of tracks per unit area with that recorded on the detectors were made, including a study on the variation of detection efficiency with the effective energy of the incident alpha particles.

고온용 세라믹 쉘 몰드를 용융 알루미나와 콜로이달 실리카를 사용하여 제조한 후, 세라믹 쉘 몰드의 강도에 영향을 주는 요인을 분석하였다. 세라믹 쉘 몰드의 강도는 바인더의 실리카 입자의 크기가 작을수록 크며 또한 실리카 농도에 비례하여 증가함을 보이며 저온에서의 강도 발현은 콜로이달 실리카의 필름 형성에 의한 입자들의 결합임을 알 수 있었다. 세라믹 쉘 몰드의 소성 강도는 부착 스타코의 크기가 작을수록 크며 소성 온도에 비례하여 증가함을 보였다. 고온에서의 강도 발현은 알루미나 입자와 콜로이달 실리카 바인더의 결합뿐만 아니라 알루미나 입자사이의 결합도 영향을 줌을 알 수 있었다. 쉘 몰드의 결정상은 130$0^{\circ}C$이하에서 소성한 경우 $\alpha$-알루미나만 존재함을 보여 실리카는 비정질로 계속 남아 있음을 알 수 있고 140$0^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 소성한 경우 뮬라이트가 생성됨을 보였다.

The effects of the ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ starting particle size and $\alpha$/$\beta$ phase transformation during sintering process on the microstructure evolution of Yttrium $\alpha$-Sialon ceramics were investigated. As-received ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ powder (mean particle size: 0.54$\mu$m) and classified ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ powder(mean particle size: $0.26\mu{m}$) were used as starting powders. With decreasing the starting particle size, the growth of elongated grains was enhanced, which resulted in the whisker -like microstructure with elongated grains. These results were discussed in relation to the two-dimensional nucleation and growth theory. In the specimen heat treated at $1600^{\circ}C$ for 10h before sintering at $1950^{\circ}C$for 1h under 40atm(2-step sintering), the grain size was smaller than of the 1-step sintering at 195$0^{\circ}C$ for 1h. However, bimodal microstructure evolution were not not remarkable in both sample, which is ascribed to the $\alpha$-phase contents existing in ${\beta}-Si_3N_4$ starting powder.

In order to investigate the effect of NiO on the ethanol gas sensing performance of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles, NiO and ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles are synthesized by hydrothermal method. The sensor with ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ and NiO nanoparticles mixed at an optimum ratio of 7:3 showed 3.8 times improved sensing performance for 200ppm ethanol gas at $200^{\circ}C$. The enhanced gas sensing performance can be considered to be caused by pn heterojunction at the grain boundaries of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ and NiO nanopartcles.

This study investigates the effect of particle size on the detergency of particulate soil using an $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particle as the model. Monodispersed spherical $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particles were prepared by the hydrothermal aging of an acidic $FeCl_3$ and HCl solution. The $\xi$-potential of PET fiber was measured by the streaming potential method. The potential energy of interaction between the particle and fiber was calculated using the heterocoagulation theory for a sphere-plate model. The $\xi$-potential of PET fiber and potential energy of interaction between particles and fiber increased with a decreasing particle size in a DBS solution. However, in the nonionic surfactant solution, the $\xi$-potential signs of PET fiber and $\alpha-Fe_2O_3$ particles were (-) and (+), respectively; there was no repulsive power between the particles and substrate. The adhesion of particles to the fabric increased with increasing particle size in the anionic surfactant solution and their removal from the fabric increased with a decreasing particle size. The adhesion of particles to the fabric and their removal from the fabric was biphasic with a maximum and minimum at 0.1% concentration of the surfactant solution. In the nonionic surfactant solution the adhesion of particles to fabric and their removal from the fabric were greater than the ones in the anionic surfactant DBS solution.

Sintering of alumina powder was studied in the presence of Y-Si oxide and oxynitride additives. The main crystalline phase of the sintering aids pre-reacted at $1400^{\circ}C$ was $\alpha$ - $Y_2$$SiO_2$>$O_7$. Y-N apatite was co-existed in the Si-40N sintering aid because of its high content of N. During the sintering process, liquid phases were formed by the reaction between additives and alumina, and these liquid phases promote the densification of alumina. SEM micrographs showed that uniform grain growth occurred in the system with oxide additive(Si-0N). In the case of oxynitride additive system(Si-20N and Si-40N), bimodal microstructure was observed due to the exaggerated grain growth, As the nitrogen content in the additive system increased the exaggerated grain growth occurred extensively. Bloating, which seemed to be originated by the liberation of $N_2$ gas, occurred un the Si-40N oxynitride additive system.
