In this study, the optical properties of localized surface plasmon resonance sensor using optical fiber was analyzed as the variation of a size and surface density of gold nano particles on the etched optical fiber surface. It is shown that a size and surface density of gold nano particles on optical fiber surface are controlled by $Na_3$ citrate quantity and pH of gold colloid solution. To measure the sensitivity, peak wavelength of absorbance spectrum was detected as the reflective index of the solution. The sensor sensitivity is linearly dependent on the size and surface densities of gold nano particles from the results of optical experiments.

It is found that that the coating N-acetyl cysteine (NAC) on gold surfaces may be used to design the distribution of either gold particle adsorbed to the $TiO_2$ surface or vice versa by adjusting the electrostatic interactions. In this study, we investigated electrostatic properties of the NAC-coated-gold surface and the $TiO_2$ surface. The surface forces between the surfaces were measured as a function of the salt concentration and pH value using the AFM. By applying the Derjaguin-Landau-Verwey-Overbeek (DLVO) theory to the surface forces, the surface potential and charge density of the surfaces were quantitatively acquired for each salt concentration and each pH value. The surface potential and charge density dependence on the salt concentration was explained with the law of mass action, and the pH dependence was with the ionizable groups on the surface.

Statement of problem: Implant screw loosening has been remained problem in restorative practices. Surface treatment of screw plays a role of preventing screw from loosening in implant screw mechanism. Purpose : The purpose of this study was to investigate surface characteristics of TiN and ZrN film ion plated screw with titanium and gold alloy screw and to evaluate wear resistance, surface roughness, and film adhesion on screw surface using various instruments. Material and methods : GoldTite screws and titanium screws provided by 3i (Implant Innovation, USA) and TorqTite screws or titanium screws by Steri-Oss (Nobel Biocare, USA) and gold screws and titanium screws by AVANA (Osstem Implant, korea) were selected. Ion plating which is much superior to other surface modification techniques was carried out for gold screws and titanium screws using Ti and Zr coating materials with nitrogen gas. Ion nitrided surface of each abutment screw was observed with field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM, micro-diamond scratch tester, vickers hardness tester, and surface roughness tester. Results : 1) The surface of gold screw and GoldTite is more smooth than ones of other kinds of non coated screw. 2) The ZrN and TiN coated surface is the more smooth than ones of other kinds of screw. 3) The hardness of TiN and ZrN coated surface showed higher than that of non coated surface. 4) The TiN coated titanium screw and ZrN coated gold screw have a good wear resistance and adhesion on the surface. 5) The surface of ZrN coated screw showed low surface roughness compared with the surface of TiN coated screw. Conclusion : It is considered that the TiN and ZrN coated screw which would prevent a screw from loosening can be applicable to implant system and confirmed that TiN and ZrN film act as lubricant on surface of screw due to decrease of friction for recycled tightening and loosening.

In this study, the surfaces of two gold nanoparticles of different shapes were modified with hexadecyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and used for contact lenses. The polymer was based on 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), and spherical and sea urchin-shaped gold nanoparticles were used as additives. CTAB was used to modify the surface of the sea urchin-shaped gold nanoparticles. To analyze the physical properties of the prepared contact lens, optical transmittance, refractive index, water content, contact angle, and atomic force microscope (AFM) were measured and evaluated. The results showed the nanoparticles did not significantly affect optical transmittance, refractive index, or water content of the lens, and tensile strength increased according to the ratio of the additive. The addition of the sea urchin-shaped nanoparticles resulted in lower wettability compared with the spherical nanoparticles, but somewhat superior tensile strength. In addition, it was found that the wettability of the lens was improved when the surface-modified sea urchin-shaped gold nanoparticles were added. The types of gold nanoparticles and surface modification methods used in this study are considered to have great potential for use in ophthalmic materials.

We have formulated hexagonal-shaped gold nanoplates in a single-step for photothermal therapy that gold ions to gold particles using pyrenyl dextran as reducible stabilizer and template. They exhibit anisotropic structure with broad surface plasmon resonance (SPR) band into near-infrared (NIR) spectrum enabling photothermal therapy. These gold nanoplates are also confirmed biocompatibility and high uptake efficiency due to binding with dextran molecules on the surface of gold nanoplates and cells. From in vitro phtothermal ablation study under NIR laser, gold nanoplates have the potential to use as photothermal agents.

An electrostatic interaction is responsible for the attachment of gold seeds of 1-3 nm onto APTMS (3-aminopropyl trimethoxysilane)-coated silica cores in the formation of gold clusters. A surface plasmon resonance and morphology of gold clusters were significantly affected by the pH of gold colloids prepared by THPC reducing agent. Gold colloids of alkaline pH induced the heterogeneous deposition of gold seeds onto the silica nanoparticles, probably due to the continuous reduction of residual gold ions during the attachment process. Gold colloids of acidic pH induced the monodisperse deposition of gold seeds, consequently leading to the formation of smooth gold layer on the silica nanoparticles surface. The gold nanoshells (core radius = 80 nm) prepared by gold colloids of pH 3.1 exhibited the more red-shift and relatively stronger intensity of plasmon absorption bands, compared with gold nanoshells prepared by alkaline gold colloids of pH 9.7.

영남지역에서 출토된 6~7세기 신라 금제 귀걸이 23점에 대한 성분 분석을 실시하고, 금판에 포함된 은(Ag) 함량을 기준으로 세 가지 유형으로 분류하였다. I 유형(20~50wt%), II 유형(10~20wt%), III 유형(10wt% 이하)으로 구분하였는데, I II 유형의 귀걸이 금판은 금(Au) 함량이 상대적으로 높은 부분에서 미세한 기공이 집중적으로 분포되는 현상이 관찰되었다. 금판 표면의 성분 차이 발생 원인을 네 가지로 구분하여 1) 표면 처리, 2) 제작 과정에서 열 확산, 3) 사금의 성분 차이, 4) 금의 정련 방법 측면에서 검토하였다. 금판 표면의 금 함량이 상대적으로 높은 부분에서는 미세한 기공이 집중적으로 관찰되며, 이와 관련하여 금 합금 표면에 의도적으로 금을 제외한 금속 성분을 제거하면서 금 함량을 높이는 고갈 도금(depletion gilding) 가능성을 제시하였다. 의도적인 표면 처리와 더불어 제작 과정에서 금판과 금속 봉 사이에 열 확산이 일어나 금판의 구리 함량이 높아진 사례를 세환이식의 분석 결과로 확인되었다. 금판의 재료적인 측면에서 살펴보면 금판에 포함된 은(Ag)이 자연금에 포함된 것인지, 합금에 의해 추가된 것인지를 국내에서 채취된 사금 분석을 통해 살펴보았다. 분석 결과 평균적으로 13wt% 정도의 은이 포함된 것으로 미루어 보아 II 유형은 자연금의 범주에 포함되고, III 유형은 정련 과정을 거친 금, I 유형은 자연금에 은이 합금된 것으로 보인다. 여기에서 III 유형의 경우 정련 과정을 거쳐 순수한 금을 만든 뒤 은을 합금했을 가능성에 대해 국내외 고대 문헌에 소개된 금 정련 방법을 조사하였다. 고대 정련 방법은 자연금에 포함된 은이 염화물 또는 황화물과 반응하여 결합됨으로써 제거되는 방법이었는데, 이러한 방법을 통해 순수한 금을 얻기 위해서는 장시간의 노력과 기술이 요구된다는 것이 밝혀졌다. 따라서 정련 과정을 통해 순금을 만든 후에 강도를 높이기 위해 소량의 은을 첨가했을 가능성은 낮아 보인다.
