중공 발광 나노 물질은 특유의 구조적 특성(낮은 밀도, 높은 비표면적, 다공성 물질, 낮은 열팽창계수 등)과 광학적 성질을 이용하여 디스플레이 패널, 광결정, 약물전달체, 바이오 이미징 라벨 등의 다양한 적용이 가능하다. 이러한 적용에 있어 균일한 크기와 형태의 중공 입자는 필수 조건으로 여겨진다. 지금까지 합성된 중공 발광 입자에는 BaMgAl10O17 : Eu2+-Nd3+, Gd2O3 : Eu3+, $EuPO_4{\cdot}H_2O$과 같은 것들이 있으나 크기 조절이 어렵고, 그 균일성이 확보되지 못하였다. 균일한 크기의 중공 발광 입자를 만들기 위해 SiO2나 emulsion을 템플릿으로 이용하여 황화카드뮴, 카드뮴 셀레나이드 중공 입자를 합성한 예가 있으나, 양자점의 독성으로 인하여 바이오분야 응용에는 적합하지 않다. YAG는 모체로써 형광체에서 가장 많이 이용되는 물질로, 화학적 안정성과 낮은 독성, 높은 양자 효율 등 많은 장점을 갖고 있다. 특히 세륨이 도핑된 YAG형광체의 경우 WLED, 신틸레이터, 바이오산업에 적용이 가능하다. 그러나 지금까지 중공 YAG:Ce3+형광체를 합성한 예가 없었다. 본 연구에서는 단분산 수화 알루미늄 (Al(OH)3) 입자 위에 세륨이 도핑 된 이트륨 베이직 카보네이트 ($Y(OH)CO_3$)를 균일하게 코팅한 후 열처리를 하여 균일한 크기의 Y3Al5O12:Ce3+(YAG) 중공 입자를 합성하였다. 열처리 온도에 따른 고분해능 투과 전자 현미경(HRTEM), X-선 회절(XRD), 고분해능 에너지 분광법(HREDX) 분석결과, 중공 YAG: Ce3+입자는 Kirkendall 효과에 의해 형성됨을 확인하였다. 전계방사형 주사 전자 현미경(FE-SEM) 측정을 통해, 열처리 후에도 입자의 크기와 형태가 균일함을 확인하였으며, 공초점 현미경 관찰을 통해 중공 형태를 명확히 확인 할 수 있었다. Photoluminescence (PL) 분광법과 형광 수명 이미징 현미경(FLIM)을 이용한 광 특성 분석결과, 합성된 입자는 400-500 nm에서 흡수 파장 (456 nm에서 최대 강도)과 500-700 nm 범위의 발광 파장(544 nm에서 최대 강도)을 나타냈고, 상용 YAG: Ce3+(70 ns)에 준하는 74 ns의 잔광 시간(decay time)이 측정되었다. 단분산 수화 알루미늄 입자의 크기를 조절하여 최종 합성된 YAG: Ce3+의 크기를 조절할 수 있었다. 지름 약 600 nm의 Al(OH)3를 사용한 경우, $1,300^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 한 후 평균 지름 590 nm의 중공입자를 합성하였고, 약 170 nm의 Al(OH)3를 이용하여, 더 낮은 온도인 $1,100^{\circ}C$에서의 열처리를 통해 평균지름 140 nm의 중공 YAG: Ce3+입자를 합성하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 합성된 균일한 크기의 YAG 중공입자는 LED와 같은 광전변환 소자 및 다기능성 바이오 이미징 등의 나노바이오 소자 분야에 활용될 수 있음이 기대된다.

The effect of particle property on FOD(foreign object damage) and strength degradation in structural ceramics especially, silicon carbide was investigated by accelerating a spherical particle having different material and different size. The damage induced showed significant differences in their patterns with increase of impact velocity. Also percussion cone was formed at the back part of specimen when particle size became large and its impact velocity exceeded a critical value. The extent of ring cracks was linearly related to particle size, however the impact of steel particle produced larger ring cracks than that of SiC particle. Increasing impact velocity the residual strength showed different degradation behaviors according to particle and its size. In the region the impact site represents nearly elastic deformation behavior, the residual strength was dependent upon the depth of cone crack regardless of particle size. However in elastic- plastic deformation region, the radial cracks led to rapid drop in residual strength.

This study demonstrated that a slag, an industrial solid waste, can be used as a structural reinforcement. The mechanical properties(tensile strength and Elastic modulus) of slag reinforced composite(SRC) was investigated as functions of slag particle size (8~12 ${\mu}m$ and 12~16 ${\mu}m$) and volume fraction (0-40 vol.%). In order to investigate the interface and a degree of particle dispersion which have an effect on mechanical properties, optical microscopic images were taken. The results of tensile tests showed that the tensile strength decreased with an increase in slag volume fraction and particle size. The elastic modulus increased with an increase in slag volume fraction and particle size except for 30 vol.% SRC. The tensile strength decreased with an increase in slag particle size. The microscopic picture showed SRC has fine degree of particle dispersion at low slag volume fraction. SRC has a good interface at every volume fraction. However particle cluster was incorporated with an increase in slag volume fraction.

This study estimated the behavior(movement) characteristics of floating marine debris flowing in the Nakdong River Estuary using a simple numerical particle-tracking model. This numerical experiment considered the maximum water discharge outflow from the Nakdong River barrage during the passage of typhoon Maemi in 2003. The simulation showed that the particle distribution and movement of floating marine debris in the Nakdong River Estuary reached a stable state at 72 hours after the typhoon had passed, during the flαxl period of river discharge. The quantity of floating particles distributed on the east coast of Gadeok and Jinu Islands increased by 40% at 33 hours after starting the model, while the change in other sea areas was $20{\sim}40%$.

Graphite particle/carbon fiber hybrid conductive polymer composites were fabricated by the compression molding technique. Graphite particles were mixed with an epoxy resin to impart the electrical conductivity in the composite materials. In this study, graphite reinforced conductive polymer composites with high filler loadings were manufactured to accomplish high electrical conductivity above 100S/cm. Graphite particles were the main filler to increase the electrical conductivity of composites by direct contact between graphite particles. While high filler loadings are needed to attain good electrical conductivity, the composites becomes brittle. So carbon fiber was added to compensate weakened mechanical property. With increasing the carbon fiber loading ratio, the electrical conductivity gradually decreased because non-conducting regions were generated in the carbon fiber cluster among carbon fibers, while the flexural strength increased. In the case of carbon fiber 20wt.% of the total system, the electrical conductivity decreased 27%, whereas the flexural strength increased 12%.

We have carried out a series of numerical experiments to study the effect of average particle size on the mechanical properties of granite-derived weathered soils. A distinct-element method was adopted to study the changes in macro-scale mechanical properties with particle size and maximum-to-minimum particle size ratio. The numerical soil specimen with cohesion values of 0.25 MPa and internal friction angle of 29 degrees was prepared for reference. While keeping the porosity values constant, we varied particle size and size distribution to study how cohesion and internal friction angle changes. The experimental results show that the values of cohesion apparently decrease with increasing particle size. Changes in the values of internal friction angles are small, but there is a trend of increase in internal friction angle as the average particle size increases. This study demonstrates a possibility that the results of numerical experiments of this type may be used for rapid estimation of mechanical properties of granite-derived weathered soils. For example, when mechanical properties obtained through in situ tests and particle size data obtained through lab analysis are available for a site, it is expected that the mechanical properties of weathered granite soils with varying degrees of weathering (thus, varying particle size) may be estimated rapidly only with particle size data for that site.

Particulate composites of $Al_2O_3$/TiC/SiC, $Al_2O_3$/TiC and $Al_2O_3$/SiC have been fabricated by hot pressing and their R-curve behaviors and mechanical properties were investigated. $Al_2O_3$ containing 30 vol% TiC particles showed higher toughness by 8% than that for monolithic alumina and its fracture strength was increased significantly by approximately 30%. On the other hand, the addition of 30 vol% SiC of $3{\mu}m$ in $Al_2O_3$ decreased the fracture strength slightly but induced a rising R-curve behavior owing to the strong crack bridging of SiC particles. In case of $Al_2O_3$/TiC/SiC, arising R-curve behavior was also observed and the fracture toughness reached 6.6 MPa${\cdot}\sqrt{m}$ at the crack length of $1000{\mu}m$, which was lower than that of $Al_2O_3$/SiC, however, while the fracture strength was higher by about 20%. The fracture toughness seemed to be decreased as smaller TiC particles roughened the SiC interface and pullout of the SiC particles for crack bridging became less active.
