기계 화학법에 의해서 70-300nm 수준의 입도 분포를 갖는 $LiCoO_2$ 양극 분말을 제작하였다. $K_2SO_4$에 의하여 코팅 된 Li-Co 전구체는 약 $800^{\circ}C$에서 고온상 $LiCoO_2$로 결정화 되었으며, 이때 이 온도까지는 열분해 또는 서로 반응을 하지 않는 $K_2SO_4$의 영향에 의하여 분말의 입성장이 억제되어 나노 크기에 접근하는 입자를 얻을 수 있었고, 상대적으로 큰 표면 에너지에 기인하여 입자의 모양이 구형에 가깝게 형성되어 졌다. 합성돤 분말은 상용화 분말과 동일한 결정특성을 보였으나 , 투과전자현미경의 회절패턴 분석결과, 층상 뿐 아니라 부분적으로 정방정의 $LiCoO_2$ 상을 갖는 것으로 나타났다. 이러한 정방정은 주로 입자 표면에 존재하게 되어 Li의 확산을 용이하지 않게 하므로, 합성된 $LiCoO_2$ 분말은 그 크기가 나노에 접근함에도 불구하고 전체 용량 및 rate 용량이 상용화 분할보다 더 낮은 값을 보였다. 이상의 결과로부터 뛰어난 고출력 및 고성능의 전지 제작을 위하여 분말의 크기를 미세화하는 작업은 물론 입자 표면의 결정상이 잘 조절된 분말을 사용하는 것이 바람직함을 알 수 있다.

고분자 전해질 연료전지의 성능은 촉매 지지 물질의 특성에 의존한다. 본 연구에서는 백금 촉매의 지지체로서 CNF(carbon nanofibre)와 CNT(carbon nanotube)를 사용하였다. CNF와 CNT는 기상화학증착법과 메카노케미컬 공정에 의해 처리된 촉매를 이용하여 합성되었다. 백금은 고분자 전해질 연료전지의 적용을 위하여 CNF와 CNT로 지지되었다. 그 결과, 65 nm의 직경을 가지는 twisted CNF로 준비된 MEA가 가장 우수한 I-V 특성을 나타내는 것이 확인되었다.

Silicon wafers are required to be finished under the roughness of nanometer order for the subsequent chip fabrication processes. Recently, the finish grinding techniques have been researched for the improvement of accuracy and surface roughness simultaneously. Among them, the grinding technique using fine abrasive has been known as an easily accessible method. However, the manufacture of the fine grit grinding wheel has been very difficult because of the coherence of the grits. In this paper, the development of the ultrafine grit silica($SiO_2$) grinding wheel by the combination of the binder coating and the vacuum forming techniques is reported. And, the mechanochemical removal effects of the grinding conditions are discussed. Finally, a successful result of Ra O.4nm. Rmax 4nm in the ground surface roughness of a 6 inch silicon wafer was achieved.

In this work, Zinc ferrite nanoparticles have been prepared by various methods, conventional (ZC), mechanochemical processing (ZM) and Sol-Gel (ZS) method, to compare their structural and magnetic properties. The cation distribution obtained from XRD shows the degrees of inversions are 4%, 14.8%, and 16.4% from the normal $ZnFe_2O_4$ structure. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) confirms changes in cation distribution of $ZnFe_2O_4$ fabricated by sol-gel and mechanochemical processing. The $^{57}Fe$ M$\ddot{o}$ssbauer spectra of the samples were recorded at room temperature. The spectra exhibit a line broadening. The magnetic properties of the samples were studied by vibration sample magnetometer (VSM) at room temperature and the results show that the sample ZM has ferrimagnetic behaviour.

We investigated mechanochemical radical, which is concomitant with chemical lift-off lithography(CLL), on the self-assembled monolayer(SAM)/electrodes and a polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS) using a colorimetric and a spectroscopic method. The 11-mercaptoundecanol(MUO)/Au or the 11-hydroxyundecylphosphonic acid (HUPA)/ITO were contacted with bare or activated PDMS. After contact, the each of SAM/substrates and the PDMS were immersed in a 2,2 Diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl(DPPH) radical scavenger. The color of the DPPH exposed to the PDMS was changed from purple to yellow and the absorbance decreased definitely at 515 nm wavelength. The SAM/substrates, however, have caused small changes in spectroscopic property, indicating no existence of radical species. We concluded that mechanochemical radicals were formed by homolytic cleavage of PDMS molecules upon external force and hardly transferred on the SAM/substrates.

In this study, a sea shell was converted into bioceramic phases at three different sintering temperatures ($450^{\circ}C$, $850^{\circ}C$, $1000^{\circ}C$). Among the obtained bioceramic phases, a valuable ${\beta}-TCP$ was produced via mechanochemical conversion method from sea snail Turritella terebra at $1000^{\circ}C$ sintering temperature. For this reason, only the bioceramic sintered at $1000^{\circ}C$ was concentrated on and FT-IR, SEM/EDX, BET, XRD, ICP-OES analyses were carried out for the complete characterization of ${\beta}-TCP$ phase. Biodegradation test in Tris-buffer solution, bioactivity tests in simulated body fluid (SBF) and cell studies were conducted. Bioactivity test results were promising and high rate of cell viability was observed in MTT assay after 24 hours and 7 days incubation. Results demonstrated that the produced ${\beta}-TCP$ bioceramic is qualified for further consideration and experimentation with its features of pore size and ability to support bone tissue growth and cell proliferation. This study suggests an easy, economic method of nanobioceramic production.

The new process in order to fabricate of Ni catalyst with high activity by the mechanochemical(MC) method which was combined the mechanical alloying(MA) and the chemical treatment process. The microstructure and characterization of mechanically alloyed Ni-5-wt% Al powder and Ni catalyst gained by alkali leaching were investigated byt he various analysis such as XRD, SEM-EDS, HRTEM and laser particle analyzer. The steady state powder with 1~2$\mu\textrm{m}$ mean particle size was obtained after 30hr milling with the PCA of 2 wt% stearic acid under the condition of grinding stainless steel ball to powder ratio of 60:1 and rotating speed fo 300rpm. According to result of HRTEM diffraction pattern, MA powder of the steady state was nanocrystalline $Al_3$$Ni_2$ intermetallic compound. Ni catalyst was obtained after KOH leaching of the steady state powder was about 20nm nanocrystalline which contained about 8 wt % Al.

Fine LaAlO$_3$ powders wore successfully synthesized from La$_2$O$_3$ and ${\gamma}$ $Al_2$O$_3$ powders milling for 10∼50 hours via the high energy milling technique (mechanochemical method) in room temperature and air. The particle size of LaAlO$_3$ powder were estimated from XRD patterns and SEM images to be 160∼180 nm. The LaAlO$_3$ ceramics arc derived for the synthesized powders (milling for 10, 30 and 50 hours) by sintering at 140$0^{\circ}C$ and 150$0^{\circ}C$. The micrographs of grains showed an agglomeration and the degree of agglomeration increased with the milling time. The LaAlO$_3$ made from synthesized powders milling for 50 hours can be sintered to 99.5％ of theoretical density at 150$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. These ceramics exhibits a dielectric constant of 20, a dielectric loss of 0.0003 and a temperature coefficient of capacitance of 15 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ at 1 MHz.

Cobalt (Co) is mainly used to prepare cathode materials for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs) and binder metals for WC-Co hard metals. Developing an effective method for recovering Co from WC-Co waste sludge is of immense significance. In this study, Co is extracted from waste cemented carbide soft scrap via mechanochemical milling. The leaching ratio of Co reaches approximately 93%, and the leached solution, from which impurities except nickel are removed by pH titration, exhibits a purity of approximately 97%. The titrated aqueous Co salts are precipitated using oxalic acid and hydroxide precipitation, and the effects of the precipitating agent (oxalic acid and hydroxide) on the cobalt microstructure are investigated. It is confirmed that the type of Co compound and the crystal growth direction change according to the precipitation method, both of which affect the microstructure of the cobalt powders. This novel mechanochemical process is of significant importance for the recovery of Co from waste WC-Co hard metal. The recycled Co can be applied as a cemented carbide binder or a cathode material for lithium secondary batteries.

CIGS is one of thin film solar cell and has been studied so much, because of the possibility of low price and high efficiency. Until now, co-evaporation and sputtering were typical method to prepare CIGS absorption layer, and a few company commercialized solar cell by these method. However, non-vacuum process which has been studied for long time has not been progressed, though the merit of low price. Especially, aerosol deposition method has not been reported, because it is difficult to prepare a large quantity of various CIGS powder. In this study, CIGS powder was synthesized by mechanochemical method and CIGS absorption layer was deposited by aerosol deposition method. The thickness of the CIGS layer was controlled by the number of deposition and the surface roughness of it was affected by the amount of flow gas. And, also, I-V curve of it appeared metallic property in the case of 'as deposition'. After heat treatment in Se-rich atmosphere, the electrical property of it changed to a semiconductor. CdS and transparent conduction layer were formed by a typical method on it for solar cell. The efficiency of cell was appeared 0.19%. Though the efficiency was low because of the disharmony in the after-process, it was conformed that CIGS solar cell could be prepared by aerosol deposition.
