Average aggregate size in particulate suspensions is estimated with scaling theories based on fractal concept and elasticity of colloidal gel. The scaling theories are used to determine structure parameters of the aggregates, i.e., fractal dimension and power-law exponent for aggregate size reduction with shear stress using scaling behavior of elastic modulus and shear yield stress as a function of particle concentration. The structure parameters are utilized to predict aggregate size which varies with shear stress through rheological modeling. Experimentally rheological measurement is conducted for aqueous suspension of zinc oxide particles with average diameter of 110 nm. The predicted aggregate size is about 1135 nm at 1 s^-1 and 739 nm at 1000 s^-1 on the average over the particle concentrations. It has been found that the predicted aggregate size near 0.1 s^-1 agrees with that the measured one by a dynamic light scattering analyzer operated un-sheared.

The present study addresses about the development of sustainable concrete utilizing recycled coarse aggregates manufactured form waste concrete and colloidal Nano-Silica. Experimental investigations are carried out to determine compressive and tensile strength of concrete mixes designed with recycled coarse aggregates and different percentages of Nano-Silica. Moreover, water absorption, density and volume voids of concrete mixes are also examined to ascertain the influence of Nano-Silica on behavior of recycled aggregate concrete. The outcomes of the research depict that properties of concrete mixes are significantly affected with the introduction of recycled coarse aggregates in place of the natural coarse aggregates. However, the study reveals that the depletion of behavior of recycled aggregate concrete could be restored with the incorporation of little amount (3%) of Nano-Silica.

본 연구는 순환골재의 품질을 개선시키기 위해 pH 10.2의 알칼리성을 띄고 있는 입경 5nm~60nm 정도의 40% 콜로이달 실리카 수용액을 사용하고, 4가지 표면처리방법을 적용하여 순환골재의 품질 향상 시험을 하였다. 순환골재의 품질시험은 비중, 흡수율, 기공률, 계면특성, 그리고 압축 및 인장시험을 하였다. 100kpa의 일정 압력하에서 콜로이달 실리카 수용액이 표면에 도포되고 $60^{\circ}C$에서 건조됨으로써 콜로이달 실리카 용액이 순환골재의 시멘트 모르타르의 표면을 일정한 두께로 효과적으로 코팅되었다. 4가지 표면처리 방법 중 Method C에 의한 표면처리방법이 순환골재의 품질을 효과적으로 개선시켰으며, 그로인해 순환골재콘크리트의 압축강도 및 인장강도 향상에 영향을 미친 것으로 판단된다.

폐콘크리트로부터 생산되는 순환골재는 천연골재에 비해 품질이 나쁜 단점이 있어 이를 개선하는 것이 순환골재를 재활용하는데 있어서 선결과제라 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 콜로이달 실리카용액을 이용한 표면처리 방법으로 순환골재의 품질을 개선하고, 품질이 개선된 표면처리 순환골재를 활용한 콘크리트의 역학적 특성 및 내구성능을 타 콘크리트와 비교 분석하여 순환골재를 실제 콘크리트 시설물 축조에 콘크리트용 골재로서 활용 가능성을 규명하고자 한다.

Fluorescence and dynamic light scattering measurements were applied to the study of formation and structure of aggregated colloidal particles in modified poly(ethylene-co-methylacrylate) ionomers in aqueous solution. Both 8-anillino-l-naphthalene-sulfonic acid (ANS) and pyrene were used as fluorescence probe to obtain the information on the structure of particle surface and inside, respectively. Three different ionomers used in this study started to aggregate at very dilute concentration, 3-8 x 10-6 g/mL. In this study, we demonstrate that the polyethylene ionomers can form stable nanoparticles. The hydrophobic core made of the polyethylene backbone chains is stabilized by the ionic groups on the particle surface. Such a formed stable nanoparticles have a relatively narrow size distribution with an average radius in the range of 27-48 nm, depending on the kind of ionic groups. Once the stable particles are formed, the particle size distributions were nearly constant. This study shows another way to prepare surfactant-free polyethylene nanoparticles.

The present study targets to access the consequence of utilization of coarse aggregates retrieved from waste concrete as a substitution of coarse fraction of natural aggregates and silica nano-particles as partial substitution of cement using principles of factorial design. Furthermore, procedures of design of experiments are employed to examine the effect of use of recycled aggregates and nano-silica. In this investigation, compressive strength found after at 7, 28, 90 and 365 days, split and flexural tensile strength, ultrasonic pulse velocity and rebound number and are chosen as responses, whereas the percentages of recycled coarse aggregates (RCA%) and nano-silica (NS(%)) are selected as factors. Analysis of Variance has been conducted on the experimental results for the selected responses with consideration the both factors, which indicates that RCA (%) and NS (%) have substantial impact on the various responses. However, the present analysis depicts that interaction between factors has considerable effect on the chosen parameters of concrete. Furthermore, validation experiments are carried to validate these models for compressive and tensile strength for 100% RCA and 1% NS. The results of comparative study indicates that that the error of the estimation determined using the relevant models are found to be small (±5%) in comparison with the analogous experimental results, which authenticates the calculated models.

Bio-functionalized gold nanoparticles (AuNPs), which bio-specifically interact with biotin-(strept)avidin, were investigated in this study. AuNPs were functionalized with a synthetically-provided biotin-linked thiol (BLT), which was synthesized by amidation of the active ester of biotin with 2-mercaptoethylamine. The BLT-attached AuNP was bio-specific for streptavidin, making it potentially useful for biosensor applications. To test the bio-specific interactions, the colors, absorption spectra and TEM images were investigated for proteins such as streptavidin, cytochrome C, myoglobin and hemoglobin. The colors and absorption spectra changed when streptavidin was added to the BLT-attached AuNP solution. However, the color and spectra did not change when the other proteins were added to the same solution. These results show that the AuNPs provided a colloidal solution with excellent stability and highly selective absorption characteristics for streptavidin as a target molecule. Proteins were also screened in order to identify a general strategy for the use of optical biosensing proteins based on AuNPs. In addition, TEM images confirmed that streptavidin led the BLT-attached AuNPs to aggregate or precipitate.
