Nanosized TiO2 powders were synthesized using the chemical vapor conduensation (CVC) process with various precursor feeding rates (0.37 and 0.752 ml/min) and oxygen flow rates(1-2slm) conditions and powder characteristics were investigated in terms of formation of nanosized powder varying with the above processing conditions. For this study the main thermodynamic and fluid dynamic factors -supersaturation ratio collision frequency and residence time-were theoretically established and compared to the characteristics of formed TiO2 powder. The loosely combined anatase phase powders (including less than 3%of rutile phase) having 20-30nm crystallite size were obtained at overall conditions. The particle size and th degree of agglomeration for a precursor flow rate of 0.376 ml/min turn out to be smaller than for a flow rate of 0.742ml/min. And the decreasing of particles size and particle size distribution were observed with increasing oxygen flow rate as the residence time and collision frequency were reduced by increasing oxygen flow rate,. It appears that further scrutiny is needed to elucidate the influence of the individual thermodynamic and kinetic parameters mdependently.

Interfacial evaluation was investigated for single-carbon fiber/phenolic and carbon nanotube (CNT)-phenolic composites by micromechanical technique and electrical resistance measurement combined with wettability test. Compressive strength of pure phenol and CNT-phenolic composites were compared using Broutman specimen. The contact resistance of CNT-phenolic composites was obtained using a gradient specimen by two and four-point methods. Surface energies and wettability by dynamic contact angle measurement were measured using Wilhelmy plate technique. Since hydrophobic domains are formed as heterogeneous microstructure of CNT in the surface, the dynamic contact angle exhibited more than $90^{\circ}$. CNT-phenolic composites exhibited a higher apparent modulus than neat phenolic case due to better stress transferring effect. Work of adhesion, $W_a$ between single-carbon fiber and CNT-phenolic composites exhibited higher than neat phenolic resin due to the enhanced viscosity by CNT addition. It was consistent with micro-failure patterns in microdroplet test.

We performed two-dimensional (20) computer-based modeling and simulation of FinFET by solving the coupled Poisson-Schrodinger equations quantum-mechanically in a self-consistent manner. The simulation results are carefully investigated for FinFET with gate length(Lg) varying from 10 to 80nm and with a Si-fin thickness($T_{fin}$) varying from 10 to 40nm. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics are compared with the experimental data. Device optimization has been performed in order to suppress the short-channel effects (SCEs) including the sub-threshold swing, threshold voltage roll-off, drain induced barrier lowering (DIBL). The quantum-mechanical simulation is compared with the classical appmach in order to understand the influence of the electron confinement effect. Simulation results indicated that the FinFET is a promising structure to suppress the SCEs and the quantum-mechanical simulation is essential for applying nano-scale device structure.

Nanocelluloses, mainly cellulose nanofibrils (CNF) and cellulose nanocrystals (CNC, i.e., defect-free, rod-like crystalline residues after acid hydrolysis of fibers), have been the subject of recent interest. Due to the presence of hydroxyl groups on the surface of nanocelluloses, their surfaces are reactive, making them suitable candidates for reinforcing materials for manufacturing polymer composites. In this study, CNF was used as a reinforcing material for manufacturing cement composites. CNF was prepared by TEMPO (2,2,6,6,-tetramethyl piperidine-1-oxyl radical) oxidation procedure combined with extensive homogenization and ultrasonication. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) analysis of the suspension showed the width of CNF between 10 and 15 nm. The compressive strength of cement composites containing 0.5% CNF was comparable to that of conventional cement composites. On the other hand, the tensile and flexural strength were improved by 49.7% and 38.8%, respectively, compared to those of conventional cement composites. Also, at an ambient condition, the degree of self-shrinkage reduction reached to 18.9% in one day, followed by 5.9% in 28 days after molding.

반도체 선폭이 20 nm급까지 감소함에 따라 기존에 수율에 문제를 끼치던 공정 외부 유입 입자뿐만 아니라, 공정 도중에 발생하는 수~수십 나노의 작은 입자도 수율에 악영향을 끼치게 되었다. 이에 따라 저압, 극청정 조건에서 진행되는 공정 중 발생하는 입자를 실시간으로 모니터링 할 수 있는 장비에 대한 수요가 발생하고 있다. Particle beam mass spectrometer (PBMS)는 이러한 요구사항을 만족할 수 있는 장비로 100 mtorr의 공정 조건에서 5 nm 이상의 입자의 직경별 수농도를 측정할 수 있는 장비이다. PBMS로 입자의 수농도를 측정하기 위해서는 PBMS 전단에서 입자를 중앙으로 집속할 필요가 있다. 공기역학렌즈는 PBMS 전단에서 입자를 집속시키기 위해 일반적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 장비로 여러 개의 오리피스로 이루어져 있다. 공기역학렌즈를 지나는 수송 유체와 입자는 이러한 연속 오리피스를 거치면서 팽창과 수축을 반복하며, 관성력의 차이로 인해 입자가 중앙으로 집속된다. 그러나 기존 공기역학렌즈는 고정된 직경의 오리피스를 사용하기 때문에 설계된 공정조건 이외에는 입자의 집속효율이 감소한다는 단점을 지닌다. 따라서 공정조건이 바뀔 경우 공기역학렌즈를 교체해야 되며, 진공이라는 환경하에서 이러한 교체는 많은 시간과 노력을 요구로 한다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 공기역학렌즈의 문제점을 해결하기 위해 다양한 공정조건에서 교체 없이 사용할 수 있는 새로운 형태의 공기역학렌즈인 조기래형 공기역학렌즈를 제안하였다. 각각의 오리피스가 중공의 직경을 변경할 수 있는 구조인 조리개의 형태로 설계되어 있어, 공정조건에 따라 중공의 직경을 변경함으로써 입자의 집속을 결정하는 요소인 Stokes number를 조절 할 수 있다. 이러한 조리개형 공기 역학 렌즈의 성능을 평가하기 위해 수치해석적인 방법을 이용하였다. 공기 역학 렌즈 전단의 압력을 0.1~10 torr까지 변화시켜가며 다양한 공정조건에서 오리피스의 직경만을 변경하여 입자 집속 가능 여부를 판단하였으며, 조리개 형태의 구조상 발생할 수 있는 leak로 인한 입자 집속 효율의 변화도 평가하였다.

The compressive and torsional buckling behavior of carbon nanotube bundles at room temperature is examined with classical molecular dynamics simulation. The critical compressive load and stiffness of a single carbon nanotube in the bundle are found to be similar to those of individual carbon nanotubes. However, the critical torsional moment and stiffness of a single carbon nanotube in the bundle are found to be higher than those of individual carbon nanotubes. In addition, this study demonstrates that van der Waals interactions between the nanotubes in the bundle significantly affect the critical compressive load of the nanotube bundle.

나노 소재의 물성을 측정하기 위하여 대부분의 연구 구룹에서는 크게 두 가지 분석 기법인 분광학을 이용한 분석과 나노트라이볼로지를 이용한 분석을 사용하고 있다. 분광학을 이용한 분석에는 NMR, IR, Raman, SEM, TEM 등이 대표적이라 할 수 있고, 나노트라이볼로지를 이용한 분석에는 AFM, EFM, KFM, Nano-indenter 등의 탐침을 이용한 측정 기법이 대표적이다. Nano-indenter는 물질의 탄성 및 경도를 측정 할 수 있으며 이를 통해 물질의 특성을 연구하는데에 사용된다. 그러나 이런 Nano-indenter의 압입 실험에서는 그 결과값이 압입 조건 등의 통제변수의 함수가 될 것이다. 이를 확인하고 변화값의 parameter를 추출하기 위하여 본 실험에서는 이런 압입 조건 중 Load - Hold - Unload force의 속도 및 시간을 변화시켜 물질의 탄성계수와 경도가 어떻게 변하는지에 대한 역학관계를 연구하였다.

Genomic epidemiology exploits various basic microbial research areas. High-throughput sequencing technologies dramatically have been expanding the number of microbial genome sequences available. Abundant genomic data provide an opportunity to perform strain typing more effectively, helping identify microbial species and strains at a higher resolution than ever before. Genomic epidemiology needs to find antimicrobial resistance genes in addition to standard genome annotations. Strain typing and antimicrobial resistance gene finding are static aspects of genomic epidemiology. Finding which hosts infected which other hosts requires the inference of transient transmission routes among infected hosts. The strain typing, antimicrobial resistance gene finding, and transmission tree inference would allow for better surveillance of microbial infectious diseases, which is one of the ultimate goals of genomic epidemiology. Among several high-throughput sequencing technologies, genomic epidemiology will benefit from the more portability and shorter sequencing time of the Oxford Nanopore Technologies's MinION, the third-generation sequencing technology. Here, this study reviewed computational methods for quantifying antimicrobial resistance genes and inferring disease transmission trees. In addition, the MinION's applications to genomic epidemiology were discussed.

This study examined the difference in the mechanical properties of cotton fabrics treated with nano silver. Nano silver powder, UV-absorber, and DMDHEU are applied to cotton fabrics. The reagents added in a finishing solution were Triton X-100 and $MgCl_2$ $6H_2O$. The mechanical properties of the fabrics were measured by KES-FB system. From these, the primary hand values were evaluated by the conversion equation (KN-202-DS). The results of this study are summarized as follows. The fabric tensile properties and bending properties are increased by the application of nano silver, DMDHEU, and UV-absorber mixed. The values of tensile properties in the warp direction were significantly lower than those in the weft direction. However, the values of bending properties in the warp direction were higher than those in the weft direction. The differences in the values of compression parameters by nano silver coating were unnoticeable. However, the compression energy and resilience of compression in each fabric was increased by DMDHEU treatment. The SMD values of cotton fabrics are decreased by nano silver, DMDHEU, and UV-absorber mixed treatment.
