Synthesis of RGO (reduced graphene oxide)-CdS composite material was performed through CBD (chemical bath deposition) method in which graphene oxide served as the support and Cadmium Sulfate Hydrate as the starting material. Graphene-based semiconductor photocatalysts have attracted extensive attention due to their usefulness for environmental and energy applications. The band gap (2.4 eV) of CdS corresponds well with the spectrum of sunlight because the crystalline phase, size, morphology, specic surface area and defects, etc., of CdS can affect its photocatalytic activity. The specific surface structure (morphology) of the photocatalyst can be effective for the suppression of recombination between photogenerated electrons and holes. Graphene (GN) has unique properties such as a high value of Young's modulus, large theoretical specific surface area, excellent thermal conductivity, high mobility of charge carriers, and good optical transmittance. These excellent properties make GN an ideal building block in nanocomposites. It can act as an excellent electron-acceptor/transport material. Therefore, the morphology, structural characterization and crystal structure were observed using various analytical tools, such as X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, and Raman spectroscopy. From this analysis, it is shown that CdS particles were well dispersed uniformly in the RGO sheet. Furthermore, the photocatalytic property of the resulting RGO-CdS composite is also discussed in relation to environmental applications such as the photocatalytic degradation of pollutants. It was found that the prepared RGO-CdS nanocomposites exhibited enhanced photocatalytic activity as compared with that of CdS nanoparticles. Therefore, better efficiency of photodegradation was found for water purification applications using RGO-CdS composite.

The present research work reports in-vitro anti-cancer activity of biologically synthesized ZnO nanoparticles (ZnO NPs) against human carcinoma cells viz SCC-40, SK-MEL-2 and SCC-29B using Sulforhodamine-B (SRB) Assay. ZnO NPs were synthesized by a unique and novel biological route using Temperature-gradient phenomenon where the extract of combination of Catharanthus roseus (L.) G. Don (C. roseus), Azadirachta indica (A. indica), Ficus religiosa (F. religiosa) and NaOH solution were used as synthesis medium. The morphology of the ZnO NPs was characterized by Transmission Electron Microscopy (TEM). TEM images reveal that particle size of the samples reduces from 76 nm to 53 nm with the increase in reaction temperature and 68 nm to 38 nm with the increase in molar concentration of NaOH respectively. XRD study confirms the presence of elements and reduction in crystallite size with increase in reaction temperature and NaOH concentration. The diffraction peaks show broadening and a slight shift towards lower Bragg angle ($2{\theta}$) which represents the reduction in crystallite size as well as presence of uniform strain. The FTIR spectra of the extract show transmittance peak fingerprint of Zn-O bond and presence of bioactive molecules These NPs exhibit inhibition greater than 50% for SCC-40, SK-MEL-2 and SCC-29B cell lines and more than 50% cell kill for SCC-29B cells at concentrations < $80{\mu}g/ml$. Nanoparticles with smallest size have shown better anti-cancer activity and peculiar cell-selectivity. The combination of extracts of these plants with ZnO NPs can be used in targeted drug delivery as an effective anti-cancer agent, a potential application in cancer treatment.

Today, graphene loaded textiles are being considered promising smart clothing due to their high conductivity. In this study, we reported reduced graphene oxide(r-GO) deposited pure cotton fabrics fabricated with a colloidal solution of graphene(GO), using a one-step aerosol spray pyrolysis(ASP) process and their potential application on smart textiles. The ASP process is advantageous in that it is easily implementable and can be applied for continuous processing. Moreover, this process has never been applied to deposit r-GO on pure cotton fabric. The field emission-scanning microscopy (FE-SEM) observation, Fourier transform-infrared(FT-IR) analysis, Raman spectroscopy, X-ray diffraction(XRD) analysis, and ultraviolet transmittance(UVT) were used to evaluate material properties of the r-GO colloids. The resistance was also measured to evaluate the electrical conductivity of the specimens. The results revealed that the r-GO was successfully deposed on specimens, and the specimen with the highest electrical conductivity demonstrated an electrical resistance value of 2.27 kΩ/sq. Taken together, the results revealed that the ASP method demonstrated a high potential for effective deposition of r-GO on cotton fabric specimens and is a prospect for the development of conductive cotton-based smart clothing. Therefore, this study is also meaningful in that the ASP process can be newly applied by depositing r-GO on the pure cotton fabric.

Transparent and conducting tungsten (W) doped indium oxide (IWO) thin films were deposited on the glass substrate by using RF magnetron sputtering and then electron irradiation was conducted to investigate the effect of electron irradiation on the optical and electrical properties of the films. The electron irradiated films showed three x-ray diffraction peaks of the In₂O₃ (222), (431) and (046) planes and the full width at half maximum values are decreased as increased electron irradiation energy. In the atomic force microscope analysis, the surface roughness of as deposited films was 1.70 nm, while the films electron irradiated at 700 eV, show a lower roughness of 1.28 nm. In this study, the figure of merit (FOM) of as deposited films is 2.07 × 10^-3 Ω^-1, while the films electron irradiated at 700 eV show the higher FOM value of 5.53 × 10^-3 Ω^-1. Thus, it is concluded that the post-deposition electron beam irradiation is the one of effective methods to enhance optical and electrical performance of IWO thin films.

Calcium fluoride (CaF₂) single crystal is applied to numerous industrial applications, especially for optical uses. To have excellent optical transmission properties, however, CaF₂ crystals should be carefully fabricated through liquid-phase crystal growth techniques. In this study, as one of the early stage research activities to grow CaF₂ crystals with a good transmittance at the ultraviolet wavelength range, computational thermodynamic models were provided to deepen the understanding of the crystal growing processes of CaF₂ under various conditions. To remove point defects and oxygen impurities in the grown CaF₂ crystals, the system was thermodynamically evaluated to get optimal process conditions. From the reviews of previous experimental studies, computational thermodynamic approaches were found to be an effective and powerful tool to understand the meaning of the crystal growth processes and to obtain optimal process conditions.

전기변색(electrochromic devices, ECD) 방식을 이용하여 외부 전압 인가에 의해 착색된 상태에서 투명한 상태로 색 변화를 일으킬 수 있는 필름 형태의 스마트 윈도우를 제조하였다. 기존 유리 대신 투명 PET 필름을 기재로 사용하였고 ITO/Ag/ITO 전극층, WO3/TIC2 유기변색층, Nafion 전해질층을 차례로 도입한 이후 합지 공정을 통하여 총 두께가 50 ㎛ 정도인 다층 박막 ECD 모듈을 제조하였다. 길이가 80 mm 이상인 대면적의 ECD 모듈을 제조하기 위하여 스퍼터링, 바코팅, 열압축 공정을 최적화하였다. 보통 상태에서 54 % 수준의 투과율을 보였으나 DC 3.5 V의 전압을 인가했을 때 24 %까지 떨어졌으며 색 변화는 육안으로도 확인할 수 있었다. 가역적인 색 변화에 의해 외부 태양광을 선택적으로 차단할 수 있으며 냉난방에 필요한 에너지 저감 측면에서 효과적일 것으로 예상된다.

Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is a novel method of fabricating nanometer scale patterns. It is a simple process with low cost, high throughput and resolution. NIL creates patterns by mechanical deformation of an imprint resist and physical contact process. The imprint resist is typically a monomer or polymer formulation that is cured by heat or UV light during the imprinting process. Stiction between the resist and the stamp is resulted from this physical contact process. Stiction issue is more important in the stamps including narrow pattern size and wide area. Therefore, the antistiction layer coating is very effective to prevent this problem and ensure successful NIL. In this paper, an antistiction layer was deposited and characterized by PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition) method for metal stamps. Deposition rates of an antistiction layer on Si and Ni substrates were in proportion to deposited time and 3.4 nm/min and 2.5 nm/min, respectively. A 50 nm thick antistiction layer showed 90% relative transmittance at 365 nm wavelength. Contact angle result showed good hydrophobicity over 105 degree. $CF_2$ and $CF_3$ peaks were founded in ATR-FTIR analysis. The thicknesses and the contact angle of a 50 nm thick antistiction film were slightly changed during chemical resistance test using acetone and sulfuric acid. To evaluate the deposited antistiction layer, a 50 nm thick film was coated on a stainless steel stamp made by wet etching process. A PMMA substrate was successfully imprinting without pattern degradations by the stainless steel stamp with an antistiction layer. The test result shows that antistiction layer coating is very effective for NIL.

본 연구에서는 의학영상장치의 방사선에너지스펙트럼과 중원자번호 물질의 방사선흡수특성을 이용하여 경량 재질의 무납차폐체를 개발하였다. 개발된 차폐체는 중량비율로 주석 34.1%, 안티몬 33.8%, 요오드 26.8%와 Polyisoprene 5.3%를 혼합하여 가로$\times$세로$\times$두께 $200{\times}200{\times}1.5\;(mm^3)$로 제작되었으며 밀도는 $3.2\;g/cm^3$이다. 무납차폐체의 무게는 표준납차폐체 무게의 84%로 연당량 0.42 mm에 해당되며, 제작된 무납차폐체는 일차선과 산란선에 대해 표준납차폐체(연당량 0.5 mm 두께)의 투과율과 비교하였다. 일차선 에너지는 50 kVp에서 20 kVp씩 증가하여 110 kVp까지 조사 되었으며, 표준납 차폐체의 투과율은 0.1%, 0.9%, 3.2%, 4.8%였고, 무납차폐체는 각각 0.3%, 0.6%, 2.0%, 4.2%를 보였으며, 오차는 ${\pm}0.1$%이었다. 표준납차폐체와 동등한 연당량의 무납차폐체의 투과율은 각각 0.1%, 0.3%, 1.0%와 2.4%로 저에너지에서는 납과 동일한 감쇠를 나타내었으나 높은 에너지영역 에서는 납의 30~50%의 투과율로 측정되어 차폐효과가 뛰어남을 알 수 있었다. 인체팬텀의 측방산란선에 대한 비교결과는 표준납차폐체가 2.4%, 2.5%, 4.2%, 5.1%를 보였고, 무납차폐체는 각각 2.4%, 3.3%, 4.6%와 5.9%이며 각 오차는 ${\pm}0.2%$였다. 혼합성분의 무납차폐체의 연당량을 표준납차폐체까지 올리는 경우 낮은 에너지에서 뿐만 아니라 높은 에너지 영역에서 납에 비해 월등히 감쇠효과가 있음을 주장하며, 방사선구역의 특성에 따라 경량의 차폐체를 이용함으로써 방사선피폭을 효과적으로 차폐할 수 있을 것이다.
