Antimony doped tin oxide (ATO) nanoparticles were added as nanofillers to UV-curable polyester-acrylate (PEA) resin for coating to improve thermal, mechanical, and electrical properties. In this study, ATO nanoparticles were grafted by 3-glycidyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane and 3-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane respectively to improve dispersion and interfacial adhesion. The physical properties and surface scratch hardness of the UV-curable nanocomposite coating were improved considerably by introducing the modified ATO nanoparticles.

It is well known that the formation of $SiO_2$, $Al_2O_3$ and/or other oxides at the steel surface during the annealing process deteriorates the surface quality of galvanized steels. It is important to minimize oxide formation during the annealing process for the superior surface quality of galvanized steels. In order to minimize the oxide formation on the steel surface, antimony was chosen as an alloying element to the commercial steels. Then, the effect of alloying element on the oxidation behavior was investigated. A small amount of antimony was added to two types of steels, one with 0.1% C, 1.0% Si, 1.5% Mn, 0.08% P, and the other with 0.002% C, 0.001% Si, 0.104% Mn, 0.01% P. Then, the oxidation behavior was investigated from $650{\sim}900^{\circ}C$ in the air. The addition of antimony to the steels retarded the outward diffusion of elements during the oxidation, resulting in reduction of the oxidation rate.

A new photoelectrode composed of $Sb_6O_{13}$ nanoparticles with the size of 20-30 nm has been prepared via thermolysis of a colloidal antimony pentoxide tetrahydrate ($Sb_2O_5{\cdot}4H_2O$) suspension. The $Sb_6O_{13}$ electrode showed good semiconducting properties applicable to dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs); the energy band gap was estimated to be $3.05{\pm}0.5$ eV and the position of conduction band edge was close to those of $TiO_2$ and ZnO. The DSSC assembled with the $Sb_6O_{13}$ photoelectrode and a conventional ruthenium-dye (N719) exhibited the overall photo-current conversion efficiency of 0.74% ($V_{oc}$ = 0.76 V, $J_{sc}=1.99\;mAcm{-2}$, fill factor = 0.49) under AM 1.5, $100\;mWcm^{-2}$ illumination.

Antimony doped tin oxide ($SnO_2:Sb$) films, which are used as the front contact and back reflector of thin film solar cells, have been deposited by d,c, magnetron sputtering. The dependence of electrical and optical properties of the films on the preparation conditions, such as $O_2$ gas ratio, substrate temperature, annealing temperature was investigated. The sputter gas composition was found to affect the properties of the films. With incorporating $O_2$ gas, the electrical and optical properties of films significantly were improved. The minimum resistivity and optical transmittance over 80 % in visible region were obtained at the oxygen concentration of 30 %, When the substrate temperature was higher, the resistivity of $SnO_2:Sb$ films was decreased, while the absorption edge shifted to shorter wavelength, indicating higher optical band gap. Heat treatment over $600^{\circ}C$ resulted in poorer electrical and optical properties due to SnO phase (102) plane.

To determine the effect of additions of trivalent and pentavalent ions on the electrical conductivity and sensing behaviour, indium and antimony were incorporated in tin oxide by the coprecipitation method. Antimony may be considered to enter the cassiterite structure as pentavalent ions, thermal energy could excite electrons from these ions into the conduction band. Similarly the indium ions would enter the lattice as $In^{3+}$ but could accept electrons from the valence band, thereby becoming monovalent or divalent. These phenomena, however, how the potential barrier existing $SnO_{2}$ by addition of two kinds of ions could influence on the sensing behaviour in comparison with their influence on the resistivity were observed.

This report describes the results of analysis, synthesis and evaluation of antimony dithiocarbamates (SbDTC). Sb-DTC were synthesized by reacting antimony oxide with dithiocarbamates whish were prepared by reaction of dialkylamines and carbon disulfide. The chemical structures and properties of synthesized Sb-DTCs in lab. were discussed. The frictional properties of SbDTC were tested with Four-Ball Wear Scar Tester and Four-Ball Extreme Tester by ASTM method.

This work presents that carbon dioxide, which is a main contributor to the global warming effect, could be utilized as a selective oxidant in the oxidative dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene. The dehydrogenation of ethylbenzene over alumina-supported vanadium-antimony oxide catalyst has been studied under different atmospheres such as inert nitrogen, steam, oxygen or carbon dioxide as diluent or oxidant. Among them, the addition of carbon dioxide gave the highest styrene yield (up to 82%) and styrene selectivity (up to 97%) along with stable activity. Carbon dioxide could play a beneficial role of a selective oxidant in the improvement of the catalytic behavior through the oxidative pathway.

The structural properties of varistors surface studied by fractal phenomenon were investigated to verify the relations of electrical characteristics. The SEM photograph of varistors surface were changed by binary code and the grain shape of that were analyzed by fractal dimension. The void of varistors surface was found by fractal program. The relation between grain density and electrical properties depend on fractal dimension. The grain size in varistors surface was decreased by increasing of oxide antimony addition. The grain size of devices by oxide antimony addition were from 5 to $10[{\mu}m]$. The fractal dimension and electrical properties of varistors surface was related to between grain boundary and grain density. The grain size was decreased by increasing of fractal dimensions.

The Breakdown electric field of ZnO semiconductor devices in voltage-current characteristics was increased by increasing of additive materials. The specimen that has not additive materials was not formed spinel structure. The critical voltage that has not spinel structure was 235[V]. When the additive materials has 0.5 and 2[mol%], the Breakdown electric field was 840 and 758[V] in each additive materials. The Breakdown electric field of varistors as a factor of voltage and current was increased by addition of oxide antimony. The varistors that has oxide antimony was linearly increased in low electric field.

Antimony-doped Tin oxide (ATO) thin films were deposited on soda-lime glass substrates by DC magnetron sputtering technique. Effects of DC power film thickness and post heat-treatment on electrical conductivity of ATO film were investigated. Other properties of ATO film such as optical anti-chemical and wear properties were also reported in this work. The obtained ATO films showed electrical resistivities ranging from 5$\times$10-3 $\Omega$cm to 3$\times$10-3 $\Omega$cm with the average optical transparency above 80% in visible wavelength range and excel-lent anti-chemical properties where the electrical resistivity was not changed even after soaking the films in 1M HCl or 1M NaOH solution for 10 days. These properties were found to be related to the crystallinity of ATO film and the films having higher crystallinity showed better properties.
