반도체 집적회로의 고집적화 및 고성능화를 위한 기본 소자(MOSFET)의 미세화 및 단위공정의 물리적 한계를 극복하기 위한 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그 중 다양한 나노입자를 이용한 나노소자 제작 연구가 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 하지만 이러한 나노입자를 이용한 나노소자의 제작에 있어서 원하는 위치의 나노입자의 배열과 정렬의 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이를 위해서 본 연구에서는 자기조립특성을 가지는 DNA 분자와 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자들의 표면 기능화를 통해서 상호 결합시키는 실험을 하였다. DNA 분자를 형틀로 이용하여 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자를 선택적 배열하고 전자 소자화하기 위해서는 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자의 표면 기능화가 필수적이다. 이를 위하여 무극성인 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자들과 DNA 분자의 phosphate backbone의 음전하와의 경합 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 이들 나노입자의 표면을 양전하로 치환하는 실험을 수행하였다. Core 나노입자인 CdSe 나노입자를 제작한 다음에 CdSe 보다 높은 band gap을 가지고 lattice mismatch가 적은 ZnS 로 shell 층을 형성하는 2-step 방법을 이용하여 합성한 CdSe/ZnS 나노입자를 무극성 용매인 chloroform 용액 0.5 ml에 분산시키고 DMAET 0.3 ml 와 Methanol 0.1 mg/ml를 이용하여 리간드들을 바꿔주고 과잉된 리간드인 DMAET를 제거하기 위해 Methanol로 3차례 세척한 다음 증류수에 용해시키는 실험을 하였다. 나노입자 기능화 과정 이후 기능화 여부를 판단하기 위하여 FT-IR spectroscopy 와 zeta potential 측정을 통하여 나노입자 표면의 변화와 전위를 측정하였다.

The fragmentation of Mg and Mg-25(w/o) Al alloy particles in hydriding-dehydriding was studied. The formation of hydride was made in autoclave, and formed hydrides were $MgH_2$ in both pure Mg and Mg-25(w/o) Al alloy particles. Pure Mg was more fractured than Mg-25(w/o) Al alloy in hydriding. The addition of Al exhibited fragmentation in hydriding, but displayed the same fragmentation as Mg in dehydriding.

This study was to improve cosmetical activity of thiamine di-lauryl sulfate (TDS) by encapsulation of nanoparticle with lecithin. Results showed that most of the nanoparticles containing the TDS were well formed in round shape with below 150 ~ 200 nm diameter as well as they were fairly stable in various pH ranges by measuring zeta potentials. The nanoparticles of TDS resulted in 85% cell viability of human normal fibroblast cells (CCD-986sk) when added at the highest concentration (1.0 mg/mL). The nanoparticles of Acer mono sap showed highest free radical scavengering effect as 88.1% in adding sample (1.0 mg/mL), compared to TDS solution of non-encapsulation (81.6%). The nanoparticles of TDS reduced the expression of MMP-1 on UV-irradiated CCD-986sk cells down to as 41.4%. The TDS solution and nanoparticles showed significant anti-microbial activities agaionst the salmonella typhimurium and listeria monocytogenes at 5 and 6 days as compared with control. Anti-microbial activities of TDS nanoparticles were similar to positive control. These results indicated that TDS nanoparticles may be a source for functional cosmetic agents capable of improving cosmetical activity such as antioxidant, whitening, and anti-wrinkling effects and can be further developed as natural preservative in cosmetics.

Rare-earth elements were doped with Mg to enhance the temperature stability of dielectric properties of BaTiO₃ for its application to MLCC (Multi-Layer Ceramic Capacitor). The additives strongly affect both grain growth and densification behaviors during sintering, and hence dielectric properties. The additive effects therefore should be examined in each system with different additives. This study investigated the crystal structure, grain growth and densification behaviors and related variations in dielectric constant with respect to sintering temperature. Dielectric constant appears to be varied with grain size in a temperature range between 1200 and 1300℃, suggesting the importance of grain size control. The temperature dependence of grain size variation was well explained by an established theory correlating the grain growth behavior with grain boundary structure. This accordance provides a basis for sintering technique to control grain growth thus to improve dielectric constant in rare-earth doped BaTiO₃.

Phase stability diagrams were constructed for magnesium alanate (Mg(AlH₄)₂) nanoparticles to investigate the reversible hydrogen storage reaction by using density functional theory. Our findings indicate that bulk Mg(AlH₄)₂ shows favorable hydrogen release, but unfavorable hydrogen uptake (adsorption) reactions. However, for Mg(AlH₄)₂ nanoparticles, it was observed that hydrogen release and recharge can be achieved by controlling the particle size and temperature. Furthermore, by predicting the decomposition phase diagram of Mg(AlH₄)₂ nanoparticles with varying hydrogen partial pressure, it was discovered that reversible dehydrogenation reactions can occur even in relatively large nanoparticles by controlling the hydrogen partial pressure.

Swelling properties and shear strength behavior of MgO-Sand mixtures with hydration procese of MgO are compared according to different MgO contents (W_MgO/W_Total=0, 30, 50, 70, 100%) in this study. The specimens are prepared by mixing with crushed MgO refractory bricks and silica sand. After hydration, the particle size and the specific gravity of MgO were decreases. Through microstructure observation and X-ray diffraction analysis, it is confirmed that MgO changes from the cubic structure of Periclase to the hexagonal cubic structure of Brucite after hydration. As the MgO content increases, both swelling rate and swelling pressure of the mixtures increase. W_MgO/W_Total=30% specimen shows relatively low swelling pressure and swelling rate because produced Mg(OH)₂ mainly fills the pores between sand particles. However, in the case of MgO more than 50%, swelling pressure and swelling rate increase significantly because Mg(OH)₂ fills the pores of sand particles at first and then either pushes out sand particles or Mg(OH)₂ particles after filling the pores. As a result of the direct shear test, before hydration, the mixtures show a dilative behavior on high MgO contents and a contractive behavior on low MgO contents. However, after hydration, the behavior of all mixtures changes to contractive behavior. The threshold fraction of fine (i.e., Mg(OH)₂) contents of the hydrated MgO-Sand mixtures reveals approximately 60% compared with normalized shear strength.

In this study, we synthesized the pine leaf extract intercalated layered Mg-phyllosilicate nanoparticles (PLE/MgP) via one-pot synthesis. MgP was successfully synthesized with the octahedral and tetrahedral structure by XRD analysis and a gap of interlayer distance (d-spacing) between MgP sheets by the intercalation of PLE was confirmed. As a result of the investigation of antimicrobial activity against cutaneous microorganisms by the minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and bactericidal concentration (MBC) analyses, the antimicrobial activity of PLE/MgP was more improved than that of MgP or PLE. The prepared sandwich-structured PLE/MgP organic/inorganic hybrid materials will be useful in the field of numerous applications containing cosmetic and biomedical materials.

Curcumin have various health-beneficial properties in numerous studies. However, its bioavailability is low due to its limited intestinal uptake and rapid metabolism. This study aimed to evaluate the pharmacokinetics of newly developed sub-micron particle curcumin with increased water dispersibility (Theracurmin(R) CR-033P). Plasma curcumin levels were measured at 0, 1, 2, 4, 8 h after Theracurmin(R) CR-033P intake using high-performance liquid chromatography. For analyzing pharmacokinetics of Theracurmin(R) CR-033P, eighteen healthy subjects were recruited and received Theracurmin(R) CR-033P at a single oral dose containing curcumin 30 mg. $C_{max}$ was 28.14 ng/ml, and the area under the curve for 8 h was estimated to be 104.36 ng/ml. Based on the area under the plasma concentration (AUC), the bioavailability of sub-micron particle curcumin was higher 22-, 35-, 28-fold than native curcumin in men, women, and all subjects, respectively. For comparing by formulation, seven healthy subjects were recruited and received two type of treatment: (1) existing dosage form 300 mg (contained curcumin 30 mg) ${\times}$ 3 capsule, (2) high dosage form 300 mg (contained curcumin 90 mg) ${\times}$ 1 capsule + placebo 300 mg ${\times}$ 2 capsule. In the cross-over study, there was no significant differences in $C_{max}$ and AUC of plasma curcumin. In conclusion, submicron particle curcumin with increased water dispersibility significantly improved its oral bioavailability and women absorbed curcumin more effectively than men. Different formulation of Theracurmin(R) CR-033P has shown equivalent to the reference in terms of pharmacokinetics.
