자몽씨추출물(GSE)과 ZnONP을 아가필름에 동시에 첨가하여 다기능성 복합필름을제조하였다. Agar/GSE/ZnONP복합필름은 특히 자외선차단성과 항균성에 대한 시너지 효과를 나타냈다. 광 차단성은 자외선 파장범위인 280 nm와 가시광선 파장범위인 660 nm에서 유의적인 차이를 보이며 크게 나타났다. 자외선차단성은 agar/GSE와 agar/ZnONP 필름에 비해 agar/ZnONP^3%/GSE^5% 필름에서의 크게 상승하여 GSE와 ZnONP의 시너지 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 항균성으로는 그람양성균인 L. monocytogenes와 그람음성균인 E. coli O157: H7 모두 agar/ZnONP^3%/GSE^5% 필름에서 강한 항균성 및 시너지 효과가 있었다. 자외선 차단성과 항균성은 포장식품의 안전성을 확보하고 유통기한을 연장시키는데 필수적인 특성으로 agar/ZnONP3%/GSE5% 필름은 식품의 유통기한 연장과 식품의 안전성을 위한 포장필름으로 활용 가치가 높을 것으로 사료된다.

실리콘은 상용 흑연(Graphite, Gr) 음극재 대비 약 10배 정도 높은 이론용량을 가지나 전기전도도가 낮고 충·방전 시 큰 부피변화로 수명이 짧은 문제가 있다. 실리콘의 문제점 해결 방안으로 전도성 탄소와 복합체 형성과정에서 실리카 나노입자 템플레이트를 이용해 복합체 내부에 이중 중공을 갖는 실리콘 나노입자/중공탄소(SiNP/HC) 소재를 제조하였다. 비교를 위해 중공을 갖지 않는 SiNP/C 복합체를 제조하여 SiNP/HC 복합체와의 물리·화학적 특성과 음극소재로서의 전기화학적 특성을 X-ray 회절기, X-선 광전자 분광기, 비표면적과 기공분포 분석을 위한 질소 흡/탈착 실험, 주사형 전자현미경 및 투과형 전자현미경으로 비교·분석하였다. SiNP/C 복합체 대비 SiNP/HC는 사이클 후에도 전극의 큰 부피변화 없이 월등히 우수한 수명특성과 효율을 보였다. 흑연과 혼합한 하이브리드형 SiNP/HC@Gr 복합체는 SiNP/HC와 비교해 낮은 용량에서 더욱 개선된 수명 특성과 효율을 보였다. 따라서 복합체 내부에 실리콘의 부피팽창을 수용하는 중공을 갖는 실리콘/탄소 복합체를 설계하는 것이 수명특성 확보에 유효함을 확인하였다. 복합체 내부에 많은 중공의 존재로 비표면적이 커서 과도한 SEI층 형성에 따른 낮은 초기 효율의 문제점이 있으므로 이에 대한 보완 연구가 필요할 것으로 사료된다.

Fabrication of iron oxide/carbon nanotube composite structures for detection of ammonia gas at room temperature is reported. The iron oxide/carbon nanotube composite structures are fabricated by in situ co-arc-discharge method using a graphite source with varying numbers of iron wires inserted. The composite structures reveal higher response signals at room temperature than at high temperatures. As the number of iron wires inserted increased, the volume of carbon nanotubes and iron nanoparticles produced increased. The oxidation condition of the composite structures varied the carbon nanotube/iron oxide ratio in the structure and, consequently, the resistance of the structures and, finally, the ammonia gas sensing performance. The highest sensor performance was realized with $500^{\circ}C/2h$ oxidation heat-treatment condition, in which most of the carbon nanotubes were removed from the composite and iron oxide played the main role of ammonia sensing. The response signal level was 62% at room temperature. We also found that UV irradiation enhances the sensing response with reduced recovery time.

A novel flame retardant and antibacterial composite membrane coating for wood surfaces was prepared by adding POSS-based phosphorous nitrogen flame retardant (later referred to as NH₂-POSS) and silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) to chitosan (CS). The effects of NH₂-POSS content (mass fractions of CS 0%, 0.5%, 1%, 3%, 5%, and 7%) on the structure and properties of the composite membrane coating on wood were investigated. The composite film was prepared by the method of blending and ducting. Contact angle, tensile property and antibacterial effects of the composite film were measured, and infrared spectroscopy was used. The results show that the addition of NH₂-POSS can not only improve the toughness of the membrane, but also the flame retardancy of the membrane, which improves the application of the membrane in wood products. However, with the addition of NH₂-POSS, the transparency of the composite membrane was weakened. The inhibitory effect of the composite membrane on the growth of Escherichia coli was enhanced with the increase in Ag NPs. This research provides a foundation for the application of functional wood.

This paper reported a simple deposition-precipitation method, introducing the metal (Ni, Ag and Sn) and $Na_2S{\cdot}5H_2O$ to preparedispersion metal sulfide nanoparticles on the surface of the Multi-walled carbon nanotube for synthesis of CNT-$M_xS_y$ ($NiS_2$, $Ag_2S$, SnS) composite photocatalysts. The characterization of the prepared CNT-$M_xS_y$ ($NiS_2$, $Ag_2S$, SnS) composites was performed by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy with energy dispersive X-ray analysis and BET analysis. Furthermore, the MB degradation rate constant for CNT-SnS composite was $5.68{\times}10^{-3}$ under visible light irradiation, which was much higher than the corresponding values for other samples. The detailed formation and photocatalytic mechanism are also provided here.

To fabricate a hydrocarbon polymer electrolyte composite membrane incorporated with Pt nanoparticle, the polymer electrolyte membrane made of a sulfonated-fluorinated hydrophilic-hydrophobic block copolymer (SFBC) and sulfonated poly (ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) blend in the wight ratio of 1 : 1 was synthesized, and a simple drying process was used in order to incorporate Pt nanoparticle into the SFBC/SPEEK film by reducing platinum (II) bis (acetylacetonate), Pt $(acac)_2$. The distribution of the Pt nanoparticles was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and mechanical and thermal properties were tested by universal testing machine (UTM) and thermogravimetry analyzer (TGA). Cation conductivity, ion exchange capacity (IEC) and I-V characteristics were estimated.

Extraordinary properties of nanocomposites make them a primary replacement for many conventional materials. Anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) reconstruction, which is a frequent surgery in sport activities, is one of the fields in which nanocomposites could be utilized. In the present study, the mechanical properties of different porous scaffolds made from graphene nano-composites are presented ad load bearing capacity of these materials is calculated using finite element method. The numerical results are further compared with experimental published data. In addition, several geometrical and material parameters are analyzed to find the best configuration of nanocomposite scaffolds in reconstruction of ACL. Moreover, coating of detoxification chemicals are extremely easier on the nano-structured materials than conventional one. Detoxification potential of nano-composites in the injured body are also discussed in detail. The results indicated that nano-composite could be successfully used in place of auto- and allografts and also instead of conventional metallic screws in reconstruction of ACL.

Conventional paints for conversion coating applications in steel production derived mainly from water-based polymer dispersions containing several additives actually show good general performance, but suffer from poor scratch and abrasion resistance during use. The reason for this is because the relatively soft organic binder matrix dominates the mechanical surface properties. In order to maintain the high quality and decorative function of coated steel sheets, the mechanical performance of the surface needs to be improved significantly. In fact the wear resistance should be enhanced without affecting the optical appearance of the coatings by using appropriate nanoparticulate additives. In this direction, nanocomposite coating compositions (Nanomer$^{(R)}$) have been derived from water-based polymer dispersions with an increasing amount of surface-modified nanoparticles in aqueous dispersion in order to monitor the effect of degree of filling with rigid nanoparticles. The surface of nanoparticles has been modified for optimum compatibility with the polymer matrix in order to achieve homogeneous nanoparticle dispersion over the matrix. This approach has been extended in such a way that a more expanded hybrid network has been condensed on the nanoparticle surface by a hydrolytic condensation reaction in addition to the quasi-monolayer type small molecular surface modification. It was expected that this additional modification will lead to more intensive cross-linking in coating systems resulting in further improved scratch-resistance compared to simple addition of nanoparticles with quasi-monolayer surface modification. The resulting compositions have been coated on zinc-galvanized steel and cured. The wear resistance and the corrosion protection of the modified coating systems have been tested in dependence on the compositional change, the type of surface modification as well as the mixing conditions with different shear forces. It has been found out that for loading levels up to 50 wt.-% nanoparticles, the mechanical wear resistance remains almost unaffected compared to the unmodified resin. In addition, the corrosion resistance remained unaffected even after $180^{\circ}$ bending test showing that the flexibility of coating was not decreased by nanoparticle addition. Electron microscopy showed that the inorganic nanoparticles do not penetrate into the organic resin droplets during the mixing process but rather formed agglomerates outside the polymer droplet phase resulting in quite moderate cross linking while curing, because of viscosity. The proposed mechanisms of composite formation and cross linking could explain the poor effect regarding improvement of mechanical wear resistance and help to set up new synthesis strategies for improved nanocomposite morphologies, which should provide increased wear resistance.
