The physicochemical properties of VOx/TiO₂ catalysts with different TiO₂ supports were analyzed, and SCR reactions were performed. VOx/TiO₂ catalysts were prepared by impregnation using anatase TiO₂, which was manufactured by Sigma Aldrich and prepared from TiOCl₂ and titanium isopropoxide (TTIP) as a precursor. They are denoted as VS, VC, and VP. The specific surface area of the VS was 1/10 or less of that of the VC and VP, and the dispersibility of vanadium oxide was relatively low. As a result of XPS analysis, the ratio of adsorbed oxygen was higher in VS and VP with Ti³⁺ than in VC. In VC and VP, vanadium mainly existed in V⁴⁺ and V³⁺ states in relation to the dispersibility of vanadium oxide. The amount of adsorbed oxygen contributed more to NH₃-SCR activity than vanadium oxide dispersibility below 250 ℃, while vanadium oxide dispersibility contributed more to activity beyond 300 ℃. The fast SCR activity in all three samples was the highest at NO₂/NOx = 0.5, followed by VS < VC < VP samples. It was determined that the dispersibility of vanadium oxide had a significant effect on fast NH₃-SCR activity.

We have carried out the surface modification of photocatalytic $TiO_2$ with triethoxysilane through dehydrogenation reaction and characterized the modified photocatalyst by spectroscopic methods, such as FT-IR, solid-state $^{29}Si$ MAS NMR, XPS, and XRF, etc. We also examined photocatalytic activity of the immobilized photocatalytic titanium dioxide with triethoxysilane by decolorization reaction of dyes such as cong red and methylene blue under visible light. Dispersion test showed that the photocatalytic titanium dioxide immobilized with triethoxysilane group has kept higher dispersibility than titanium dioxide itself. No appreciable precipitation takes place even after standing for 24 h in the 4:6 mixture ratio of ethanol and water.

Clay-dispersed nanocomposites have been prepared by simple melt-mixing of two components, styrenic polymers with different content of functional groups and two different organophilic clays (Cloisite(R) 25A and Cloisite(R)30A) with a twin screw extruder. Dispersibility of 10-$\AA$-thick silicate layers of clay in the hybrid was investigated by using an X-ray diffraction method and a transmission electron microscope. It was found that if the interaction force between intercalant and matrix polymer is attractive, the matrix polymer intercalates more rapidly into the gallery of silicate layers. The faster intercalation of matrix polymer leads to the better dispersibility of silicate layers in the matrix polymer.

The effects of phosphor properties such as the granular sizes and shape on the crosssectional shape of phosphor layer and plasma discharge characteristics for improving the luminance and luminous efficiency in ac PDP have been investigated. As the granular size decreases, the thickness of vertical side of barrier rib in blue cell decreases, and wheras the thickness of bottom side increases due to increased dispersibility. In addition, the phosphor with round granular shape showing good dispersibility shows better voltage margin and higher luminous efficiency due to their improved discharge volume and packing density.

We have prepared poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) nanocomposites filled with two different types of fumed silicas, hydrophilic (FS) and hydrophobic (MFS) silicas of 7-nm diameter, by in situ polymerization. We then investigated the morphological changes, rheological properties, crystallization behavior, and mechanical properties of the PET nanocomposites. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images indicate that the dispersibility of the fumed silica was improved effectively by in situ polymerization; in particular, MFS had better dispersibility than FS on the non-polar PET polymer. The crystallization behavior of the nanocomposites revealed a peculiar tendency: all the fillers acted as retarding agents for the crystallization of the PET nanocomposites. The incorporation of fumed silicas increased the intrinsic viscosities (IV) of the PET matrix, and the strong particleparticle interactions of the filler led to an increased melt viscosity. Additionally, the mechanical properties, toughness, and modules of the nano-composites all increased, even at low filler content.

Graphene is a nanomaterial and is known to have very high mechanical strength, thermal and electrical properties. However, graphene is known to be difficult to disperse among carbon-based materials due to van der Waals force. In this study, to solve the dispersion problem of graphene nanoplatelet, oxidized graphene nanoplatelet was prepared by oxidizing GNP in nitric acid. The prepared GO was dispersed in ethanol and distilled water before incorporation into the epoxy paint to confirm dispersibility. In addition, GNP/Epoxy and GO/Epoxy tensile specimens were prepared by mixing GNP and GO at 0.1, 0.3, 0.5 and 1.0 wt.% In epoxy coatings and tensile stress-strain characteristics were investigated.

BGsome coating on the surface of illite powder was attempted to impart skin affinity and improve various characteristics of the powder for makeup cosmetics. BGsome is a type of hydrated liquid crystalline vesicles prepared by the hydration of 1,3-butylene glycol (BG) dissolved lecithin. BGsome droplets were coated through wet process and the coated powders were analyzed by TGA, SEM, and particle size measurements. Effect of BGsome coating on the physical properties, such as flow-ability, dispersibility, spreadability, and adhesion, were examined. The repose angle of BGsome-coated illite was decreased, which means that BGsome coating improves the flowability of the powder. Dispersibility, spreadability, and adhesion of the coated illite were also improved remarkably. The result of adhesion tests showed that the BGsome-coated illite was evenly adhered onto artificial leather surface with almost no lumps. The flowability, dispersibility, spreadability and adhesion of face powders containing the BGsome-coated illite were also improved.

We prepared polyester-polyamines to improve the effect of carbon black dispersibility for use in thermal transfer ink, and synthesized polymeric dispersing agents by two-step reactions. In the first step, we made polyester by polycondensing 1,6-hexanediol and adipic acid. The resulting polymers had carboxylic acid, which was linked with polyamine via an acid-base reaction. We then characterized the polyester-polyamine structure by NMR spectroscopy and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). We also determined the basic characterizations such as total acid numbers (TAN) (5.0-67.5 mgKOH/g), hydroxyl values (27.1-67.5 mgKOH/g), and molar masses ($M_n=1.6-8.4kg\;mol^{-1}$) for the polyester and total base numbers (TBN) (15.3-57.1 mgKOH/g), hydroxyl values (33.0-79.8 mgKOH/g), and nitrogen contents (1.02-3.48%) for the polyester-polyamine polymers. We thus prepared thermal transfer ink using carbon blacks and the polyester-polyamine dispersing agents, and evaluated the resulting mixtures for printability, adhesive force, storage stability, ink appearance, ink gloss, and processability. These mixtures showed significant dispersibility for carbon black in the ink. Thus, we concluded that the dispersibility of the polymeric materials depended on the polyamine structure and the hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity distribution of the polymeric dispersants.

The effect of roasting on particle size distribution, water-holding capacity, and viscosity of sunsik was investigated in this study using non-roasted one as control. Roasting increased the size of particles in sunsik, in particular, particles larger than $1{\mu}m$ in diameter, indicating that roasted sunsik is likely to sediment faster, thereby decreasing the time to maintain dispersibility when mixing with water. Roasting also increased the water-holding capacity of sunsik, indicating that polymerization occurred greater than a pyrolysis during roasting, leading to increased viscosity in roasted sunsik. These results indicate that the roasting affected the dispersibility and viscosity of sunsik by increasing particle size and water-holding capacity, respectively.
