Silica aerogel with ultra low density and high porosity has been focused on versatile application due to its fascinating properties. Ambient drying process of waterglass, in this study was researched to fabricate a crack-free monolith body in the point view of cost effective way. Wet gel was obtained by removing of $Na^{+}$ ions in waterglass, which contains 8 wt% of $SiO_{2}$. Xylene, which has a low vapor pressure, was used as a solution substitutor to prevent the formation a cracks during drying. Various surface modifiers like as hexamethyldisilazane (HMDSZ), trimethylchlorosilane (TMCS), methyltriethoxylsilane (MTES), methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) and phenyltriethoxysilane (PTES) were used in order to improve hydrophobicity of the waterglass Silica aerogel. Some physical properties of the surface modified aerogels were investigated by FT-IR, TGA, BET and SEM. Hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity of Silica aerogel is attributed to the Si-OH bond and the non-polar C-H bond groups on the surface of aerogel. Crack-free waterglass aerogel with >90 % of porosity, 17 nm of pore size and <0.15 $g/cm^{3}$ of density was prepared. HMDSZ and TMCS are effective as a surface modifier

21세기 정보기반사회에서는 정보처리량의 증가로 인한 대용량 정보 교환을 위하여 신호처리의 고속화/광대역화가 요구되어진다. 완전 광통신망의 구축에 의한 대용량의 광통신을 위해서는 고속이며, 집적화가 가능한 저가의 광전자 소자 개발이 필요하다. 광전자 소자 중 전기-광학 변조 효과를 이용한 광소자의 구현을 위한 소재로서 극성 배향된 비선형 광학 유기고분자 소재는 가공성이 뛰어나 원하는 형태의 광도파로로 제조할 수 있다는 장점에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 아직 전기광학계수의 향상과 더불어 유기고분자가 가지고 있는 열 및 광화학적 안정성이 낮은 기본적인 문제점과 폴링(poling)에 의해 배향된 극성이 시간에 따라 완화되는 문제의 해결이 요구되고 있다. 이러한 문제점 해결을 위한 기초 연구로 유기물을 졸-겔 매트릭스에 나노 사이즈로 분산하는 방법으로 유기물의 내화학적 안정성을 향상하고자 시도하였다. 잘 알려져 있는 바와 같이 유/무기 하이브리드 졸-겔 재료는 광 투광성이 우수하고 저온에서의 재료 합성과 저가 공정이 가능하여 광기능성 유기물의 호스트(host) 재료로 많이 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 MTMS(methyltrimethoxysilane)과 TEOS (tetra-ethoxyorthosilicate)를 0-100 mol%로 혼합하고 가수분해하는 방법으로 친수성/친유성 특성을 제어하여, 분산되는 유기물의 사이즈를 조정하였다. 각 실험 조건에 따른 유기물 분산체의 크기를 SEM 및 TEM으로 관찰하였으며, 나노 사이즈로 분산된 유/무기 졸-겔 코팅막의 광학적 특성을 프리즘 커플러를 이용하여 조사하였다.

Mushroom mycelia-cultured traditional meju (MTM) was prepared by inoculating 10% submerged-liquid culture of mushroom strains to five holes (1$\times$3 cm) per side of the traditionally-fermented meiu (10$\times$10$\times$10cm), followed by incubating additional 4 weeks at $25^{\circ}C$. Mushroom strains used were Neutari (Pleurotus ostreatus, PO), Yeongji (Ganoderma lucidum, GL), Synryeong (Agaricus blazei, AB), Ypsae (Grifola frondosa, GF), Pyogo(Lentinus edodes, PE), Dongchunghacho (Paecilomyces japonicus, PJ) and Sanghwang (Phellinus linteus PL). All MTMs showed an enhanced anticarcinogenicity against S-180 cell-induced mouse ascites cancer antimutagenicity against aflatoxin B$_1$ (AFB$_1$) and 2-amino-3-methylimidazo[4,5-f]quinoline (IQ), and sensory qualities, relative to control meju. Such positive effects of MTM prepared with Sanghwang, Yeongji, or Synryeong were superior to those of MTM with Ypsae, Pyogo, Dongchunghacho, or Neutari.

The high rate of corrosion of magnesium alloys makes it limited for industrial applications. Therefore, surface treatment is required to enhance their corrosion resistance. In our study, a chemical conversion coating for protecting the corrosion of the magnesium alloy, AZ31B, was prepared by using a phosphate-permanganate solution. The chemical conversion coating had a limited protection ability due to defects arising from cracks and pores in the coating layer. The sol-gel coating was prepared by using trimethoxymethylsilane (MTMS) and 3-glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as precursors, and aluminum acetyl acetonate as a ring opening agent. The corrosion protection properties of sol-gel and conversion coatings in 0.35wt% NaCl solution were measured by the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) and potentiodynamic polarization test. The EIS results indicated that the resistance of the chemical conversion coating with the sol-gel coating was significantly improved through the sol-gel sealed phosphate-permanganate conversion coating. The results of the potentiodynamic polarization test revealed that the sol-gel coating decreased the corrosion current density ($I_{corr}$). The SEM image showed that the sol-gel coating sealed conversion coating and improved corrosion protection.

CS와 실란의 반응시 생성된 실란올들이 동종간의 반응에 비하여 실리카 표면과의 반응이 진행되는 효과에 따라서, 그리고 실란들의 종류에 따라 경화밀도와 재료특성이 상당히 달라지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 CS/MTMS 졸반응에서 CS의 종류, CS/MTMS의 함량비, 졸의 반응시간 등을 인자로 하여 졸들을 합성하고 겔화된 도막의 물성들을 조사하였다. 그 결과 MTMS의 함량과 비례하여 친수성은 증가하고 표면조도는 나아지는 것을 알 수 있었고 반응시간에 비례하여 친수성은 감소하고 표면조도는 안 좋아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 내열성은 MTMS의 함량이 적을수록 좋은 결과를 나타내었다.

Magnesium alloy is limited in the industrial field because its standard electrode potential is -2.363 V vs. NHE (Normal Hydrogen Electrode) at 25 ℃. This high electrochemical activity causes magnesium to quickly corrode with oxygen in air; chemical conversion coating prevents corrosion but causes surface defects like cracks and pores. We have examined the anti-corrosion effect of sol-gel coating sealed on the defected conversion coating layer. Sol-gel coatings produced higher voltage current and smaller pore than the chemical conversion coating layer. The conversion coating on magnesium alloy AZ31 was prepared using phosphate-permanganate solution. The sol-gel coating was designed using trimethoxymethylsilane (MTMS) and (3-Glycidyloxypropyl) trimethoxysilane (GPTMS) as precursors, and aluminum acetylacetonate as a ring-opening agent. The thermal shock resistance was tested by exposing specimens at 140 ℃ in a convection oven; the results showed changes in the magnesium alloy AZ31 surface, such as oxidization and cracking. Scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM) analysis confirmed a sealed sol-gel coating layer on magnesium alloy AZ31. Electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measured the differences in corrosion protection properties by sol-gel and conversion coatings in 0.35 wt% NaCl solution, and the potentiodynamic polarization test and confirmed conversion coating with the sol-gel coating show significantly improved resistance by crack sealing.

In this study, a fluorescent ethanol sensor is developed to determine the ethanol concentration in the liquid phase. The sensor is developed using a complex of resazurin (RA)/resorufin (RO) and a hydrotalcite (HT) catalyst in a sol-gel matrix of methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS) to produce a fluorescent ethanol-sensing membrane (RA/RO^*HT membrane). The operation mechanism of the RA/RO^*HT membrane is based on (i) the oxidation of ethanol to acetaldehyde and (ii) the reduction of RA to RO, through electron flows followed by EtOH ↔ HT ↔ RA/RO ↔ EtOH interactions. These possible redox reactions can lead to an increased fluorescence intensity of the RA/RO^*HT membrane as the ethanol concentration increases. The RA/RO^*HT membrane shows a linear detection range of 1-20 vol.% EtOH with limit of detection (LOD) of 0.178%. Additionally, the RA/RO^*HT membrane has high sensitivity and accuracy for determining the alcohol content in several Korean alcoholic beverages.

Purpose: This study is to prepare tintable hard coatings for plastic lenses and to evaluate spectroscopic and surface characteristic for these coatings. Methods: These coatings had been prepared by the sol-gel method using TEOS, MTMS and GPTS. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), Raman spectroscopy, infrared (IR) spectroscopy and UV/VIS spectroscopy have been used to investigate the optical and structural characteristics of the coatings. Results: Tint ability of this coating was about 2 times higher than general hard coatings. The lenses applied by tintable hard coatings showed excellent adhesion, abrasion resistance, hot water resistance, and chemical resistance. Pencil hardness was 5H and the surface of coatings was smooth and free of cracks. Conclusions: This hard coating system for plastic lenses offered a hard and stable surface that could be tinted.
