  • 전자종이에 대한 관심이 높아지면서 전자잉크의 pigment 소재에 대한 연구가 최근 활발하게 이루어지고 있다. 많은 재료 중 TiO$_2$는 비표면적이 크고 열적안정성 및 명암도가 뛰어나 전자잉크 재료로 많은 장점을 지닌다. TiO$_2$ 나노 입자를 전자종이에 적용할 경우 우수한 디스플레이 구현을 위해 높은 전기영동 특성 및 분산 안정성이 요구되어진다 이를 위해 표면 개질된 나노 크기의 루틸상 TiO$_2$ 입자의 제조 및 분산에 대한 최적의 공정조건에 대해 연구하였다. 10$0^{\circ}C$ 이하의 저온에서 가열하여 균일하게 침전시키는 저온균일침전법(HPPLT)으로 루틸 결정상의 TiO$_2$ 나노입자를 제조하였다. 제조된 TiO$_2$ 나노 입자와 용매의 비중을 맞추기 위해 비중이 낮은 투명성 polymer로 코팅을 한 후 비중병을 이용해 비중을 확인하였다. 그 후 copolymer block을 가지는 분산제를 TiO$_2$ 입자 기준 0.5-5wt% 범위에서 저유전율을 가지는 다양한 유기용매에 첨가하여 최적의 분산 및 전기영동 조건을 찾았다. 실험을 통한 분산안정성 및 전기영동 특성 평가를 위해 ζ-potential analyzer와 입도 분석기를 이용하였고 코팅된 입자의 표면상태는 FT-IR을 통해 측정하였다.

  • Flexible $TiO_2$ films were deposited as dielectric materials for high-energy-density capacitors on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates using a roll-to-roll sputtering method. Both the growth behavior and electrical properties of the flexible $TiO_2$ films were dependent on the sputtering pressure and $O_2$/Ar gas ratio during the sputtering process. All $TiO_2$ films had an amorphous structure regardless of the sputtering conditions due to the low substrate temperature. Microstructural characteristics such as the surface morphology and roughness of the films degraded with an increase in the sputtering pressure and $O_2$ gas concentration. The $TiO_2$ films deposited at a low pressure showed better electrical properties than those of films deposited at a high pressure. The $TiO_2$ films prepared at 10 mTorr exhibited a dielectric constant of approximately 90 at 1 kHz and a leakage current density of $5{\sim}6{\times}10^{-7}A/cm^2$ at 3 MV/cm.

  • Ni-$TiO_2$ nano composite coatings were fabricated using pulse current electrodeposition technique at 100 Hz pulse frequency with a constant 50% pulse duty cycles and reference was taken with respect to the direct current (dc) electrodeposition. The properties of the composite coatings were investigated by using SEM, XRD, Wear test and Vicker's microhardness test. Pulse electrodeposited composite has exhibited enhancement of (111), (220), and (311) diffraction lines with an attenuation of (200) line. The results demonstrated that the microhardness of composite coatings under pulse condition was significantly improved than that of pure nickel coating as well as dc electrodeposited Ni-$TiO_2$ composite coatings. Wear tracks have shown the less plastic deformation in pulse plated composite. Coefficient of friction was also found to be lower in pulse plated composite coatings as compared to dc plated composite coatings.

  • Photopolymer is a material for recording three dimensional holograms containing photo information. Photopolymer has been found to be a proper material due to many advantages such as high DE value, easy processing, and low price. Compositions of PVA, monomer, initiater and photosensitizer were determined by previous experiments and the compositions of $SeO_2$ and $TiO_2$ were considered as variable to find out the effects of $TiO_2$ on DE. The DE values were constant for the varying compositions of $TiO_2$ (0.1 mg~1.0 mg). In other words, $TiO_2$ is not directly effective on the DE values. Composition change experiments from $SeO_2$ 0.1 mg, $TiO_2$ 0.9 mg to $SeO_2$ 0.9 mg, $TiO_2$ 0.1 showed a maximum DE value of 73.75% at a component of $SeO_2$ 0.8 mg, $TiO_2$ 0.2 mg. It seemed that regardless of the amount of $TiO_2$, increasing the amount of $SeO_2$ gently increases DE`s. If nano particles are heavily added, transparent films could not be made due to the separation of particles by the solubility decrease. Photopolymer films could be made with high DE values for an extensive angle range if $TiO_2$ additions were kept minimum and $SeO_2$ additions were kept maximum.

  • The study of photocatalysis of nano titanium dioxideon the cotton fabrics have been investigatedthrough self-cleaning properties. The mini-emulsion technique was employed to prepare the encapsulation of titanium dioxide nano particles in polystyrene beads prior used. The mini-emulsion was coated on the cotton fabrics using Pad-dry method.The loading amount of TiO2particles into the mini-emulsion were various from 1%wt to 40%wt. The particles sizes of the TiO2-encapsulated polystyrene mini-emulsion were investigated by dynamic light scattering. It was noticed that the particle size of the mini-emulsion was in the range of 100- 200 nm. The morphology of treated cotton fabrics were investigated using scanning electron microscopy. The crystal structure of TiO2-encapsulated PS mini emulsion which coated on cotton fabrics were examined by X-ray diffraction spectroscopy. In order to investigate the photocatalytic activities of TiO2 through the selfcleaning characteristics of the cotton fabrics, colorant stains were created on the samples. Coffee stains were used as colorant organic stains. The result shown that the coffee stained on the cotton fabrics significantly showed the improving of the self-cleaning properties under UV radiation.
