Carbon-coated Ni, Cu and Sn nanocapsules were investigated by means of X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and a four-point probe device. All of these nanocapsules were prepared by an arc-discharge method, in which the bulk metals were evaporated under methane ($CH_4$) atmosphere. Three pure metals (Ni, Cu, Sn) were typically diverse in formation of the carbon encapsulated nanoparticles and their different mechanisms were investigated. It was indicated that a thick carbon layers formed on the surface of Ni(C) nanocapsules, whereas a thin shell of carbon with 1~2 layers covered on Cu(C) nanocapsules, and the Sn(C) nanocapsules was, in fact, a longger multi-walled carbon nanotubes partially-filled with metal Sn. As one typical magnetic/dielectric nanocomposite particles, Ni(C) nanocapsules and its counterpart of oxide-coated Ni(O) nanocapsules were compared in the electrically conductive behaviors for further applications as the electromagnetic materials.

Quercetin is one of flavonoids widely distributed in the plants and well known to have antioxidants, antiinflammatory, antimicrobial properties. In this study, alginate sponge containing quercetin-encapsulated nanocapsules was prepared by miniemulsion polymerization, dyring/crosslinking method and their bioactive characteristics were investigated. Alginate sponge containing quercetin-encapsulated nanocapsules were evaluated using a field emission scanning electron microscope(FE-SEM), a high performance liquid chromatography, cell viability, DPPH radical scavenging activity and antibacterial activity. The study indicates that alginate sponge containing quercetin-encapsulated nanocapsules had significant antioxidant, antiinflammatory and antibacterial activities. This study suggested that alginate sponge containing quercetin-encapsulated nanocapsules can be a potential candidate for medical materials.

Iron-carbon nanocapsules were synthesized by plasma arc discharge (PAD) process under various atmosphere of methane, argon and hydrogen gas. Characterization and surface properties were investigated by means of HRTEM, XRD, XPS and Mossbauer spectroscopy. Fe nanocapsules synthesized were composed of three phases $({\alpha}-Fe,\;Y-Fe\;and\;Fe_{3}C)$ with core/shell structures. The surface of nanocapsules was covered by the shell of graphite phase in the thickness of $4{\~}5$nm.

Poly(${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone) nanocapsules(nanoPCL) containing phytoncide oil were synthesized by emulsion diffusion method using ethyl acetate as organic solvent. The influence of the degree of hydrolyzation of poly(vinyl acohol) used as an emulsion stabilizer, and the different weight ratio of core material to wall material on the particle size, morphology, and emulsion stability was investigated to design nanocapsules. The encapsulated nanoPCL were characterized by FT-IR spetrometry, Scanning electron microscope, Differential scanning calorimetry, and Thermogravimetry analysis, respectively.

Polystyrene nanocapsules containing octadecane as a core material were prepared by miniemulsion polymerization. The morphology and size of the nanocapsules were measured with varying the surfactant concentration, content of initiator, core/shell ratio and content of comonomer. The morphologies of the prepared nanoparticles were examined by a scanning electron microscope, a transmission electron microscope and the core material was confirmed by a differential scanning calorimeter. The particles below 70 nm in diameter were formed at a high surfactant concentration. The size of the nanoparticles was not significantly affected by the initiator content. With increasing the core/shell ratio and polar comonomer content, the particle size and its distribution were increased.

감마오리자놀의 산화안정성을 증진시키기 위해 천연 다당류인 펙틴과 칼슘이온의 이온결합을 이용한 펙틴 겔 미세캡슐과 나노캡슐을 제조하였다. 캡슐의 입자특성은 펙틴, 염화칼슘, 감마오리자놀 농도와 경화시간 변화에 영향을 받았으며, 포집 효율과 방출 조절 측면에서 가장 효과적이었던 펙틴 2%, 염화칼슘 4%, 경화시간 60분에서 제조한 미세캡슐과 펙틴 0.05%, 염화칼슘 4%, 감마오리자놀 5%에서 제조한 나노캡슐을 선정하였다. 입자 크기에 따른 두 캡슐 제형에 대한 비교분석 결과, 감마오리자놀 포집 효율은 입자 크기 증가로 인한 내부 포집공간 증가로 미세캡슐에서 더 높게 나타났으며, 이는 유효량 섭취의 효율측면에서 경구투여에 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. 감마오리자놀 함유 펙틴 캡슐 모두가 산성에서 방출이 억제되고 중성으로 갈수록 방출이 촉진되어 체내 소화환경에서 효과적인 전달체의 특성을 보였으며, 미세캡슐에 비해 나노캡슐의 방출 조절이 더 효과적으로 나타나 감마오리자놀의 장기 저장과 활성유지에 더 적합한 것으로 판단되었다. FTC법을 통한 지질산화 저해능 평가에서는 저장 5일 이후 유리 감마오리자놀의 산화방지 활성이 감소한 데 반해 감마오리자놀 함유 미세와 나노캡슐은 지속적인 지방산화 억제활성을 지속적으로 유지하였다. 본 연구를 통해 미세와 나노캡슐화는 감마오리자놀의 안정성 및 지질산화 활성 증대에 효과적이며, 제형 특성에 따라 다양한 용도로 활용 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Fe(C) nanocapsules were prepared by the chemical vapor condensation(CVC) process using the pyrolysis of iron pentacarbonyl $(Fe(CO)_5)$. Their characterizations were studied by means of X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron spectrometer and transmission electron microscopy. The long-chained Fe(C) nanocapsules hav-ing the mean size of under 70 nm could be obtained below $1100^{\circ}C$ in different gas flow rates. The particle size of the powders was increased with increasing decomposition temperature, but it was decreased with increasing CO gas flow rate. The Fe powders produced at $500^{\circ}C$ consisted of three layers of ${\alpha}$-Fe/$Fe_3C$/amorphous phases, but it had two phase core-shell structure which consited of $Fe_3C$ phase of core and graphite of shell at $1100^{\circ}C$.

Poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) nano/microcapsules(nmcPCL) containing phytoncide oil were synthesized by emulsion diffusion method using ethyl acetate and poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) as an organic solvent and an emulsion stabilizer respectively. The influence of the degree of saponofication of the PVA and the weight ratio of core to wall materials was investigated to design nanocapsules in terms of particle size, morphology, and emulsion stability. The encapsulated nmcPCL were characterized by FT-IR spectrometry, particle size analyzer and scanning electron microscope. Mean size of nanocapsules prepared with PVA with a degree of saponofication of 87% was smaller than those of PVA with a degree of saponofication of 98.5% and the mean particle size of the capsules decreased with increasing core/shell ratio.

감초 추출물의 항산화 안정성을 증진시키기 위하여 키토산의 ionic gelation 특성을 이용한 감초 추출물을 함유한 키토산/TPP 나노캡슐을 제조하였다. 먼저 반응표면분석을 통해서 감초 추출물의 항산화활성을 최대로 할 수 있는 추출조건을 최적화하였다. 감초의 최적 추출조건은 83.01% 에탄올 농도에서 32.6분 동안 추출하는 것으로 결정되었으며, 최적 조건에서 제조된 감초 추출물의 총 플라보노이드 함량과 항산화 활성은 각각 20.47 ㎍ RE/mg과 22.32%/mg로 관측되어 예측값과 모두 표준편차 범위 내에 있음을 확인하였다. 다양한 감초 추출물과 키토산 농도에서 나노캡슐을 제조한 결과, 약 280-370 nm 범위의 캡슐크기를 나타냈으며 0.3 이하의 PDI를 나타내어 전반적으로 균일한 나노캡슐이 형성 되는 것으로 확인되었다. 포집효율 및 함유효율을 고려하여 감초 추출물과 키토산 농도를 각각 0.8과 2.0 mg/mL로 결정하였다. 지방과산화 억제능을 통한 APF 측정 결과, 나노캡슐화되지 않은 감초추출물은 반응 후에 급격히 상승되어 반응 4시간에 가장 높은 APF를 나타낸 후 급격히 감소된 반면, 감초 추출물 나노캡슐은 초반에는 약한 APF를 나타내다가 꾸준히 증가한 후 유지되어 반응 6시간 이후에는 모든 농도에서 유리 감초 추출물보다 유의적으로 높은 항산화 활성을 나타냈다. 따라서 감초 추출물은 키토산 나노캡슐화에 의해서 산화 안정성이 향상됨으로써 항산화 활성의 유지기간이 증진됨을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통해서 키토산 나노캡슐화는 감초추출물의 항산화 안정성 증대에 효과적으로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.
