Mercaptoundecanoic acid (MUA) has been used to enhance the dispersity of Au nanoparticles in organic solvent and the affinity between the Au nanoparticles surface and titanium dioxide shell in the synthesis of $Au/TiO_2$ core-shell composite nanoparticles. The dispersity of the MUA-coated Au nanoparticles in ethanol aqueous solution with different concentration of $H_2O$ was investigated by UV-Vis. absorption spectrum and the coating amount of MUA was varied from 0.02 mM to 1.0 mM. The MUA-coated Au nanoparticles were highly dispersed in pure $H_2O$ in the wide range of the coating amount of MUA. On the contrary, the MUAcoated Au nanoparticles showed an enhanced stability in the ethanol/$H_2O$=8/2 mixed solution only when the coating amount of MUA was 0.05 mM, and in the ethanol/$H_2O$=7/3 mixed solution when the coating amount of MUA was in the range from 0.02 mM to 0.17 mM. From this systematic study, it can be inferred that the stability and the dispersibility of Au nanoparticles in organic solvents are highly sensitive towards the amount of MUA coating.

기존의 나노입자 현탁액의 분산과정의 한계를 극복하여 단분산된 나노입자만으로 이루어진 현탁액을 얻기 위하여, 기존의 방법으로 전분산 처리된 현탁액을 다시 초음파 무화효과 및 사이클론을 이용하여 여과하는 방법을 제안하였다. 평균직경 250 nm인 Al₂O₃나노입자로 0.5 wt%인 현탁액을 만들어 초음파세척기 및 호모지나이저를 이용하여 각각 전처리 분산된 현탁액에 대하여 제안한 여과법을 적용하였다. 그 결과 초음파세척기로 전처리 분산한 경우 단분산된 나노입자 현탁액으로 여과하기 위해서는 종속 연결된 사이클론이 3개가 요구되는 반면, 호모저나이저로 전처리 분산된 현탁액의 경우는 2개의 사이클론으로도 가능함을 확인 하였다. 초음파 무화기 주파수의 조정과 사이클론의 설계 변경에 의해 다양한 종류의 나노입자에 대한 여과가 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

${\gamma}-Methacryloxypropyl$이 가진 기능성 그룹으로 silica nanoparticle의 유기변형은 silica의 표면개질로 성공적으로 준비했다. 또한 ethanol 용매에서 AAm을 사용하는 radical 침전중합을 통해서 polyacrylamide를 MPSN nanosphere에 'raft from'방법으로 microsphere가 성공적으로 graft중합되었다. FTIR과 XPS는 ultra-fine silica particle의 표면에서 실리카개질이 공유결합하는 것을 보여주며 SEM분석은 ultra-fine particle과 유기변형된 입자는 각각 25, 30, 35 nm의 크기로 응집작용을 효과적으로 막아주고 나누어줌을 증명할 수 있다는 것을 보여준다.

A nanofluid is a fluid containing suspended solid particles, with sizes on the order of nanometers. Especially graphene nanoparticle that has the high thermal conductivity properties among the various nanoparticles added to the nanofluid is receiving attention. Graphene is a flat monolayer of $sp^2$-bonded carbon atoms tightly packed into a honeycomb lattice. And are known to have very high thermal conductivity. Therefore, we compared thermal conductivity with viscosity of graphene M-5 nanofluids and graphene M-15 nanofluids. Graphene M-5 and graphene M-15 have different average particle diameters and the other properties are the same. Two kinds of graphene nanofluids was examined by measuring thermal conductivity via transient hot-wire method. And the viscosity was measured by using a rotational digital viscometer. As a result, graphene M-5 nanofluids exhibited better thermal conductivity and viscosity than graphene M-15 nanofluids.

산업이 점차 발달함에 따라 발생하는 환경오염으로 인해 인간의 삶에 있어 불가분의 관계에 있는 물에 대한 관심이 지속적으로 높아지고 있는 추세이다. 각종 질병의 요인이 되는 박테리아는 주로 물을 운송 매개체로 하기 때문에 이로 인한 물의 오염으로 인도의 경우 모든 질병 발생의 80%를 차지하는 것으로 세계보건기구(WHO)에 의해 보고되었다. 현재까지물 또는 공기의 항균 및 살균 정화를 위해 화학적, 생물학적 방식 등 다양한 기술이 개발되었으나 박테리아와같은 세균제거에는 무리가 있는 실정이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 여러 물질 중에서도 특히 항균작용(Antibacterial activity)이 탁월한 은(Ag)을 나노입자화하여 in-situ 코팅을 통한 다공성 알루미늄 하이드록사이드 나노복합재의 제조함으로써 생물학, 생체의용공학, 약학 등에 응용될 수 있는 새로운 형태의 항균재료제조방법을 제안하였다. 우선, 다공성 알루미늄 하이드록사이드기판은 알루미늄 기판에 알칼리 표면개질을 실시함으로서 표면에 마이크로포어가 형성된 알루미늄 하이드록사이드 기판을 제조하였다. 이렇게 제조된 다공성 기판에 Polyol 공정으로 은나노입자를 합성 및 분산시킴으로서 in-situ로 은나노입자가 분산된 알루미늄 하이드록사이드 나노복합재 기판을 만들수 있었다. 본 연구를 통하여 제조된 은나노입자가 분산된 알루미늄 하이드록사이드 나노복합재 기판은 주사전자현미경(SEM) 및 투과전자현미경(TEM)을 통하여 미세구조와 상분석을 실시하였으며 X선 광전자분석(XPS)를 이용하여 기판 표면의 화학적 상태를 분석하였다.

수용성 약물의 캡슐화 효율을 높이기 위하여 eudragit이 코팅된 SLN을 제조하였고 TEM을 이용하여 그 형태가 양호하게 형성된 것을 확인하였다. DLS를 이용하여 형성된 입자의 분포와 크기를 확인하였으며 옥용산을 포함하는 E-SLN은 ${\pm}180$ nm, ascorbic acid는 ${\pm}150$ nm의 크기를 가지는 것으로 확인되었다. 캡슐화 효율은 옥용산을 경우 41%, ascorbic acid는 33%로 나타났으며, 이는 E-SLN이 수용성 약물을 캡슐화하는 데 유용함을 보여준다.

Two kinds of alumina nanofluids are prepared by dispersing $Al_2O_3$ nanoparticles m transformer oil. The thermal conductivity of the nanoparticle-oil mixtures increases with particle volume fraction and thermal conductivity of the solid particle itself. The $Al_2O_3$ nanoparticles at a volume of 0.5% can increase the thermal conductivity of the transformer oil by 5.7%, and the overall heat transfer coefficient by 20%. From the natural convection test using a prototype transformer, the cooling effect of $Al_2O_3$-oil nanofluids on the heating element and oil itself is confirmed. However, excessive quantities of the surfactant have a harmful effect on viscosity, and thus it is strongly recommended to control the addition of the surfactant with great care.

A novel self-humidifying composite membrane for the proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) at low humidity condition was developed. The $Pt/TiO_2 catalyst particles were synthesized via supercritical impregnation methods. Pt precursor was dissolved in supercritical carbon dioxide and impregnated onto $TiO_2$ particles. Pt precursors were platinum(II) acetylacetonate, Dimethyl(1,5-cyclooctadiene) platinum(II) and we controlled the ratio of Pt to $TiO_2$ The impregnated Pt precursor was converted to $TiO_2$ supported Pt nanoparticle under various reducing conditions. $TiO_2$ catalyst particles were dispersed uniformly into the Nafion solution, and then $Pt/TiO_2/Nafion$composite membrane was prepared using solution-cast method. The size, dispersion and content of the platinum had been characterized with Transmission Electron Micrograph (TEM), X-ray diffract ion (XRD) and Inductively Coupled Plasma - Atomic Emission Spectrometer (ICP-AES). The cell performance with the self-humidifying composite membrane was compared with a recast Nafion membrane under both humidified and dry conditions at 65 $^{\circ}C$.

In this study, we prepare the Ag nanofluids synthesized by the chemical reduction method and measure the extinction coefficient of those nanofluids at a wavelength of 632.8 nm. The Ag nanofluids are synthesized by the chemical reduction method using silver nitrate ($AgNO_3$) and sodium borohydride ($NaBH_4$) in water and ethylene glycol (EG). For stable dispersion of Ag particles in the base liquids, polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) is added as a surfactant. The extinction coefficient of manufactured Ag nanofluids is measured by an in-house developed measurement system at the wavelength of 632.8 nm. The results show that the extinction coefficient of water-based and EG-based Ag nanofluids is linearly increased with respect to the particle loadings. Moreover, it is shown that the extinction coefficient of EG-based Ag nanofludis is higher than that of water-based Ag nanofluids. Finally we compare the experimental results with both the Maxwell-Garnett model and Rayleigh scattering approximation model, and they demonstrate that the Rayleigh scattering approximation model is reasonably predict the extinction coefficient of Ag nanofluids using hydraulic diameter of silver nanoparticle.

The crystallization behavior of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) in the presence and absence of polypyrrole nanoparticles (PPy NPs) was investigated in terms of the heterogeneous nucleation effect of PPy NPs using FTIR, X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimeter and polarized optical microscope analysis. PPy NPs were prepared by dispersion polymerization method stabilized by PVA in aqueous solution. A polymer nanocomposite with uniform dispersity could be readily obtained due to the enhanced compatibility between the filler and matrix. Compared with the PPy NP-absent PVA, the PPy NP/PVA nanocomposite exhibited an enhanced degree of crystallinity. The degree of crystallinity increased up to 17% at the PPy NP concentration of 1 wt%, compared to the pristine PVA. The PPy NP acted as an effective nucleating agent during the crystallization process, thereby enhancing the degree and rate of crystallization. The kinetics study of the crystallization also revealed the decreased value of the Avrami coefficient in the case of the PPy NP/PVA nanocomposite.
