21세기 제 3의 산업혁명을 가져올 것으로 기대되는 나노기술(NT), 정보기술(IT), 바이오기술(BT)은 전 세계 과학자들의 마음을 사로잡고 있다. 이 가운데 나노기술은 전자산업에 응용 시 그 기대효과는 우리가 상상하는 이상의 것이라 예상하고 있다. 나노기술에 특히 관심을 가지는 이유는 물질이 마이크로미터 크기로 작아져도 벌크물질의 물리적 특성이 그대로 유지되지만, 나노미터 크기가 되면서 우리가 경험하지 못했던 새로운 물리적 특성들이 발현되기 때문이다. 그 특성에는 양자구속효과, Hall-Petch 효과, 자기효과 등이 있다. 나노기술의 구현은 양자점과 같은 영차원 나노입자, 나노와이어, 나노막대, 나노리본 등과 같은 직경이 100nm 이하의 일차원 구조의 나노물질 및 나노박막과 기타 100nm 이하의 나노구조물들이 사용된다. 현재 일차원 구조를 이용한 전자디바이스화 연구는 결정성장을 정확하게 조절하는 합성기술, 합성된 일차원 나노물질의 물리적 특성을 지배하는 각종 파라미터들과 물리적 특성들과의 상관관계 정립, 나노와이어를 이용한 Bottom-up 방식에 의한 조립기술 확보를 위해 활발히 진행 중이다. 하지만 나노구조의 특성을 확인하는 형태의 연구일 뿐, 실제 디바이스 구현에는 여전히 많은 과제를 안고 있다. 본 연구에서는 선택적 삼원계 단결정 씨앗층을 이용한 길이/직경 비가 매우 향상된 MgZnO 나노와이어를 interfacial layer 없이 수직으로 성장하여 산화물 전계방출 에미터로서의 가능성을 확인하였다.

In this study, electro spinning conditions for PMMA were studied. Namely, the ratio of DMF and THF and its maximum concentration were examined. Conductivity of the polymer solution containing silver nanoparticles and its effect on fiber diameter were also studied. As the results, the maximum concentration for the electro spinning of PMMA was found at 18 wt%, and the ratio of DMF/THF was 7:3. The diameter of nanofibers obtained was 100-400 nm when the PMMA solution containing 1000 ppm silver was electrospun. It was found, from TEM results, that silver nanoparticles were distributed on the edge of fibers and the resulting nanofiber mats showed a good antibacterial activity.

Uniform and optimum sized silver nanoplates were synthesized through the liquid phase reduction method by using silver nitrate solution as a starting chemical, dimethylformmide (DMF) as a reducing solvent, and polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as reducing and surfactant agents. Synthesized and also film samples were characterized by using SEM, TEM, UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy, particle size analyzer (PSA), and XRD. Triangle nanoplates with the size of 100~200 nm were found from the sample synthesized at $70^{\circ}C$ for 72 h using silver nitrate, DMF and 26 wt% PVP. The sample could reflect near-infrared light because it showed the maximum absorbing peak at about 1,000 nm. When the content or particle size of silver nanoplates increased in coating solutions, the transmittance decreased and the reflectance increased in film samples.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effect of ethanol on the emulsion prepared by poly(oxyethylene) hydrogenated castor oils (HCOs)/oil/ethanol/water system. Emulsions were prepared using homogenizer as high-energy method. To evaluate effect of ethanol on the emulsion, physical properties such as droplet size and size distribution were determined and other components were almost fixed to analyze the effect of ethanol on the surfactant. In case of HCO-20, the droplet diameter was in micrometers and the droplet size was gradually deceased as the ethanol concentration was increased. The droplet diameter of nano-emulsion containing 4.00 % of HCO-30 was shown in nanometers and its mean droplet size was $128.15{\pm}1.06nm$ and the most stable at the 4.25 % of ethanol contents by the Form. 1 and $136.10{\pm}0.99nm$ at the 3.50 % of ethanol contents by the Form. 2. Similarly, the droplet diameter of nano-emulsion containing 4.00 % of HCO-40 and 4.50 % ethanol by the Form. 1 was $115.85{\pm}0.78nm$ and $121.15{\pm}0.35nm$ at the 3.25 % of ethanol by the Form. 2 and both size distributions were also narrow. Finally, the droplet size of nano-emulsion containing 4.00 % of HCO-60 and 2.25 % ethanol was $262.35{\pm}0.64nm$ and the most stable. The higher ethanol concentrations became the smaller size of emulsion became in the microscale emulsion but we determined nano-emulsion had a minimum size at a certain ethanol concentration. The results showed that the breakdown process of this nano-emulsion could be attributed to Ostwald ripening. This study about effect of ethanol on the emulsion showed that ethanol contents to prepare a stable emulsion could be determined as studying the effect of ethanol on the emulsion with the type of surfactants.

In present work, the antimicrobial effect of silver-nanoparticles/celite (SN/C) and silver carbonate/celite (SC/C) composites on Escherichia coli (E. coli) by use of silver nanoparticles and silver carbonate has been studied. Characteristics of the SN/C and SC/C composites were identified by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and atomic absorption spectroscopy (AAS). SN/C and SC/C composites showed antimicrobial activity and the minimum inhibitory concentration of E. coli were 0.541, 0.344 ppm and the complete sterilizing concentration for the test organism were 1.427, 1.623 ppm. From the results we identified that SN/C and SC/C composites have antimicrobial activity to E. coli.

Bis-ethylhexyloxyphenolmethoxyphenyltrizine (BEMT) is one of the most widely used chemical UVA+UVB double absorbers in sunscreen products. But topical application of BEMT is restricted due to its defects in product. The purpose of this study is to adopt the sunscreen product of solid lipid nano-particles containing BEMT (BEMT-SLN). The particle diameters, the encapsulation efficiencies and the crystallization index (C.I.) are about 330nm, 93.3 % and the 4.3 %. As a result, in vitro penetration and release of BEMT were generally higher in O/W emulsion than the SLN formulation. However in vivo study, it was shown that the rate of release could be decreased by 80 % in the SLN formulation. The sun protection factor (SPF) of the SLN formulation increased by 100 % in the in vitro UV protection test. Therefore, SLN formulation potentiated the UV-blocking power of BEMT. This study suggest that SLN can be used for the encapsulation of BEMT.

보론이 도핑된 $3{\times}3cm$ 크기의 p 형 다결정 실리콘 기판의 표면을 경면연마한 후, 다이아몬드 입자의 seeding을 위해 슬러리 중 다이아몬드 분말의 입도를 5 nm로 고정하고 초음파 전처리 공정을 진행한 후, 다이아몬드 박막을 증착하였다. 다이아몬드 증착은 Microwave Plasma Chemical Vapor Deposition 장비를 이용하였으며, 공정 조건은 초기 진공 $10{\times}10^{-3}Torr$, 공정 가스 비율 $Ar:CH_4=200:2$, 가스 유량 202 sccm, 공정압력 90 Torr, 마이크로웨이브 파워 600 W, 기판 온도 $600^{\circ}C$이었다. 기판에 DC bias 전압을 인가하는 것을 공정 변수로 하여 0, -50, -100, -150, -200 V로 변화시켜가며, 0.5, 1, 2, 4 h 동안 증착을 진행하였다. 주사전자현미경과 XRD, AFM, 접촉각 측정 장비를 이용하여 증착된 다이아몬드 입자와 막의 특성을 분석하였다. 각 bias 조건에서 초기에는 다이아몬드 입자가 형성되어 성장되었다가 시간이 증가될수록 연속적인 다이아몬드 막이 형성되었다. Table 1은 각 bias 조건에서 증착 시간을 4 h까지 변화시키면서 얻은 다이아몬드 입자 또는 박막의 높이(두께)를 나타낸 것이다. 2 h까지의 공정 초기에는 bias 조건의 영향을 파악하기 어려운데, 이는 bias에 의한 과도한 이온포격으로 입자가 박막으로의 성장에 저해를 받는 것으로 사료된다. 증착시간이 4 h가 경과하면서 -150 V 조건에서 가장 두꺼운 막이 성장되었다. 이는 기판 표면을 덮은 다이아몬드 박막 위에서 이차 핵생성이 bias에 의해 촉진되기 때문으로 해석된다. -200 V의 조건에서는 오히려 막의 성장이 더 느렸는데, 이는 Fig. 1에 보이듯이 과도한 이온포격으로 Si/diamond 계면에서 기공이 형성된 것과 연관이 있는 것으로 보인다.

Carbon-based nanoplatelets such as graphene oxide (GO) sheets and graphite nanoplatelets (GNPs) are frequently used as conductive nanofillers for polymer nanocomposites. In this study, polystyrene (PS)/GO and PS/GNP nanocomposites were prepared through a latex technology and investigated to compare the effect of nanofillers on rheological and electrical properties of the PS nanocomposites. PS particles were prepared by emulsifier-free emulsion polymerization and GO was synthesized by using the modified Hummers' method from graphite. Hydrophilic GO was dispersed in aqueous PS suspension, but hydrophobic GNPs were dispersed with the help of a surfactant. In comparison with PS/GO nanocomposites, the rheological properties of PS/GNP counterparts were not too high because GNP existed in aggregates of graphene layers. Conducting pathways of PS/GO and PS/GNP nanocomposites were achieved at the electrical percolation threshold of 0.50 and 5.82 wt%, respectively. The reason for enhanced electrical conductivity in PS/GO nanocomposites is that GO was thermally reduced during molding.
