In this study, we secured wasted oyster shells as raw materials in order to applicate it to corrosion preventive ceramic coating reagent in the drinking water pipeline. Then, we investigated physicochemical properties in terms of basic calcination processing. Oyster shell was composed with 92.08% of $CaCO_3$ and the shapes of the pulverized particles were mostly oval. The calcined oyster shell showed increasing tendency of weight loss and of calcium content with the lapse of time and increase of temperature. The result indicates that the higher calcination processing temperature and the uniformly smaller particle size give more efficiency during calcination process. Therefore it is anticipated to be a good ceramic material to protect a surface of cleaning bed and inside of a tap water pipes from corrosion.

Glass films of $SiO_2-TiO_2-M_xO_y$ (M = Co, Cr or Cu) have been prepared on soda-lime-silica slide glasses by the chemical solution method using a spin-coating technique. Commercially available tetraethyl orthosilicate, titanium trichloride, and cobalt-, chromium- and copper-nitrates were used as starting materials. No crystalline segregations of $Co_3O_4$, $Cr_2O_3$ and CuO were observed by X-ray diffraction ${\theta}-2{\theta}$ scans. From the optical transmission analysis, cobalt existed as $ Co^{2+}$ in tetrahedral coordination, chromium as $Cr^{6+}$ in tetrahedral symmetry and copper as $Cu^{2+}$ in octahedral coordination. Films with a crack-free and no texture exhibited homogeneous interfaces between the films and the substrates along the cross-section.

Coating films of $SiO_2-TiO_2-AgO$ have been prepared on soda-lime-silica slide glasses and single crystal silicon wafer by the sol-gel method using a spin-coating technique. Commercially available tetraethyl orthosilicate, titanium trichloride, and silver-nitrates were used as starting materials. The heat treatment temperature of this coating films was $500^{\circ}C$ properly, obtained from TG-DTA result. The films with thickness of 310 nm were prepared by 5 times coating. In the case of l0 mol% AgO, the film showed a crack-free and smooth surface, but the higher Ago content exhibited the more pin hole and the segregated cluster of AgO. The IR absorbance of the films decreased in the range of 400 nm to 700 nm with the increase of annealing temperature. And the reflectance of the coating films decreased and the color was changed light yellow to white yellow with the increase of Ago content.

용액 중에서 나노입자의 전기영동 특성을 이용한 전자종이용 잉크 제조를 위해 $TiO_2$ 나노입자를 저유전율 용매인 cyclohexane에 혼합한 후 용매와 용질의 비중차를 줄이기 위해 분말 상 polyethylen을 첨가하여 high energy milling의 방법으로 입자분쇄와 동시에 입자 표면에 고분자 풍을 코팅하였다. 용액내의 입자 분산성 향상과 용매 착색을 위하여 계면활성제와 oil-blue N을 첨가한 후 전자종이용 잉크를 제조하여 측정한 제타 전위 결과 cyclohexane 내에서 $TiO_2$의 제타전위는 -40mV 정도였으나 polyethylene으로 코팅한 후 계면활성제를 첨가하였을 경우 최대 -110mV 이상의 높은 값을 나타내었다. 실제 디스플레이 특성을 평가하기 위해 포토리소그래피를 이용하여 3인치 크기의 ITO glass 위에 $10{\mu}m$의 크기를 갖는 십자형의 격벽을 $40{\mu}m$의 높이로 균일하게 형성한 후 합성된 전자잉크로 주입하여 상부전극과 하부전극사이에 UV 경화제를 도포하여 UV 접합을 실시하였다. 격벽 내에서 입자의 mobility를 측정하여 환산된 전자잉크의 응답속도는 0.1cm/sec로 측정되었으나, 전기영동시 입자들의 움직임에 따른 반사광의 파형을 측정한 경우 0.07cm/sec의 응답속도를 나타내었다.

We report on the simple preparation method of large-scale structured catalysts by temperature-regulated chemical vapor deposition with a high cell-density ceramic honeycomb monolith. And the feasibility for dry reforming of methane catalysts was evaluated. The NiO/Cordierite (CDR) catalyst was prepared by controlling coating conditions at each temperature step, leading to a conformal deposition of NiO inside the cordierite honeycomb monolith with the cell density of 600 cpsi. The catalytic conversion of $CH_4$ and $CO_2$ for dry reforming of methane were about 83% and 90% with gas hourly space velocity of $10,000h^{-1}$ at $800^{\circ}C$, respectively. As a result, it exhibited that the temperature-regulated chemical vapor deposition method can be expedient for the preparation of large-scale structured catalysts.

The surface of an ${\alpha}$-alumina tube was coated with zirconium modified polycarbosilane(PZC) by dip-coating method. Then the tube was pyrolyzed at 573~823 K. The prepared inorganic composite membrane was in $1{\mu}m$ thickness and had no pinholes larger than several nm. For the pyrolyzed inorganic composite membrane, the permeation test of He, $N_2$, $CO_2$, and $O_2$ was performed at 303~423 K. The gas permeation and separation factor were increased with increasing permeation temperature. The permeation for gases was controlled by the activated diffusion mechanism. The separation factor of $CO_2$, to $N_2$was 4.9 at 363 K on the composite membrane pyrolyzed at 823 K and its value was higher than that of He and $O_2$.

We demonstrate the sol-gel coating technique of colloidal clusters for producing hollow micro-particles with complex morphologies. Cross-linked amidine polystyrene (PS) microspheres were synthesized by emulsifier-free emulsion copolymerization of styrene and divinylbenzene. The amidine PS particles were self-organized inside toluene-in-water emulsion droplets to produce large quantities of colloidally stable clusters. These clusters were coated with thin silica shell by sol-gel reaction of tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and ammonia, and the organic polystyrene cores were removed by calcination at high temperature to generate nonspherical hollow micro-particles with complex morphologies. This process can be used to prepare hollow particles with shapes such as doublets, tetrahedra, icosahedra, and others.

Benzotriazole which is used as a corrosion inhibitor for the zinc coated steel was intercalated into Na-MMT. X-ray diffraction experiments on intercalant/silicate composite samples demonstrated that the intercalation of intercalant leads to an increase in the spacing between silicate layers. Water soluble poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) (PEA) nanocomposites, to use as a coating agent, were prepared with these modified MMT. We found that mono-layered silicates were dispersed in PEA matrix and those resultants were exfoliated nanocomposites. From the result of salt spray test, we found that this coating agent prepared with water soluble poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid) (PEA) nanocomposite provided good corrosion protection. These results were caused by decreasing the rate of oxygen permeation from silicate layers dispersed homogeneously in PEA matrix and the effect of corrosion inhibitor from benzotriazole.

In this study, fluorinated ethylene propylene (FEP) nanoparticle as an adhesive for fabricating a three-dimensional multilayered microfluidic device was studied. The formation of evenly distributed FEP nanoparticles layer with 3 ㎛ in thickness on substrates was achieved by simple spin coating of FEP dispersion solution at 1500 rpm for 30 s. It is confirmed that FEP nanoparticles transformed into a hydrophobic thin film after thermal treatment at 300 ℃ for 1 hour, and fabricated polyimide film-based microfluidic device using FEP nanoparticle was endured pressure up to 2250 psi. Finally, a three-dimensional multilayered microfluidic device composed of 16 microreactors, which are difficult to fabricate with conventional photolithography, was successfully realized by simple one-step alignment of FEP coated nine polyimide films. The developed three-dimensional multilayered microfluidic device has the potential to be a powerful tool such as high-throughput screening, mass production, parallelization, and large-scale microfluidic integration for various applications in chemistry and biology.

Carbon/epoxy composite bipolar plate (BP) is a BP that is likely to replace existing graphite bipolar plate of vanadium redox flow cell (VRFB) due to its high mechanical properties and productivity. Multi-functional carbon/epoxy composite BP requires graphite coating or additional surface treatment to reduce interfacial contact resistance (ICR). However, the expanded graphite coating has the disadvantage of having low durability under VRFB operating conditions, and the surface treatments incur additional costs. In this work, an excessive resin absorption method is developed, which uniformly removes the resin rich area on the surface of the BP to expose carbon fibers by applying polyester fabric. This method not only reduces ICR by exposing carbon fibers to BP surfaces, but also forms a unique ditch pattern that can effectively hold carbon felt electrodes in place. The acidic environmental durability, mechanical properties, and gas permeability of the developed carbon/epoxy composite BP are experimentally verified.
