Orientation of E7 liquid crystals(LCs) confined to 200 nm-diameter cylindrical cavities of Anodisc membranes are investigated by FTIR dichroism techniques. The cavity walls of the confining pores are chemically modified with different perfluorinated carboxylic acids (PCA, $C_nF_{2n+1}$COOH, n=3, 4, 5, 6). From the FTIR spectra of PCA treated alumina Anodsic membranes, we found the salt formation between -COOH group of PCA and Anodisc membrane. From the FTIR spectra of LC filled Anodisc membranes, we found abrupt alignment direction change of LC molecules between n=4 and 5 for 1 mM PCA treated Anodisc membranes, from parallel to perpendicular direction to the cavity walls. But 5mM PCA treated Anodisc membranes, alignment direction of LC molecules changed between n=3 and n=4, from parallel to perpendicular direction.

Orientation of E7 liquid crystals (LCs) confined to 200 nm-diameter cylindrical cavities of Anodisc membranes are investigated by FTIR dichroism techniques. The cavity walls of the confining pores are chemically modified with different aliphatic acids ($C_nH_{2n+1}COOH$, n=5, 6, 7, 9). From the FTIR spectra of aliphatic acid treated alumina Anodsic membranes, we found the salt formation between -COOH group of aliphatic acid and Anodisc membrane. From the FTIR spectra of LC filled Anodisc membranes, we found abrupt alignment direction change of LC molecules between n=6 and 7 for 2% aliphatic acid treated Anodisc membranes, from parallel to perpendicular direction to the cavity walls. But 4% aliphatic acid treated Anodisc membranes, alignment direction of LC molecules changed between n=5 and n=6, from parallel to perpendicular direction. The same trend was observed for $^2H-NMR$ measurements.

MFI zeolite membranes were prepared on anodic alumina (Anodisc) as support. First, silicalite-1(${\approx}1.2{\mu}m$) seed crystals were attached to the surface of the support via chemical bonding, and the a- and b-axis oriented zeolite membranes could be synthesized on the support coated with the monolayer of the seed crystals by secondary growth hydrothermal synthesis. The zeolite membranes prepared were characterized using scanning electron microscope and analyzed by X-ray diffraction.

We report on the phase transitions of the perovskite nanostructures made by sol-gel template synthesis. The lead titanate ($PbTiO_{3}$) nanostructures were prepared with a chelate sol-gel of titanium tetrabutoxide ($Ti(O^{i}Pr){4}$) and lead acetate ($Pb(OAc)_{2}-3H_{2}O$). $Whatman^{\circledr}$ anodisc membranes (with about 200 nm pore size) served as the template. The template was dipped into the sol, allowed to air dry, and then calcined at $650^{\circ}C$. We have characterized the temperatures of the phase transitions in the $PbTiO_{3}$ nano-structures using DSC, DTA, and second harmonic generation (SHG).

Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIPs) membranes were prepared by UV polymerization to separate racemates with opposite physiological activity, and then its separation selectivity of racemates was carried out. Likewise, their properties were examined. Polycarbonate (PC) membrane was polymerized as small spot form in pore inner wall, but anodisc (AD) membrane was polymerized as film form with thickness 500~700 nm onto the membrane surface. Also the study on the separation selectivity of prepared MIPs membranes was carried out in L-Tryptophane (Trp) racemate solution. The results showed that AD MIPs membrane polymerized as a film form, which was achieved by solution polymerizaion consisting of over 90% cross-linking agent (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate; EGDMA) and under 30% dispersing agent (methanol; MeOH), had predominant 3.5 selectivity.

We report the phase transition temperatures of the $PbZrO_3$ perovskite nanotubes made by sol-gel template synthesis. The lead zirconate($PbZrO{_3}$) nanotubes were prepared with a chelate sol-gel of zirconium tetrabutoxide($Zr(OBu){_4}$) and leadacetate($Pb(OAc){_2}-3H_2O$). $Whatman^(r)$ anodisc membranes, with a 200nm pore size, served as the template. After removing the template in the 6M-NaOH solution, the $PbZrO{_3}$ nanotubes so far have shown an anomalous transition temperature, $123.6^{\circ}C$ as measured by DSC with a small particle size, 15.4nm determined by X-ray analysis with the aid of Scherrer's equation.
