Due to the potential importance and usefulness, usage of highly ordered nanoporous anodized aluminum oxide can be broadened in industry, when highly ordered anodized aluminum oxide can be placed on a substrate with controlled thickness. Here we report a facile route to highly ordered nanoporous alumina with the thickness of hundreds-of-nanometer on a silicon wafer substrate. Hexagonally or tetragonally ordered nanoporous alumina could be prepared by way of thermal imprinting, dry etching, and anodization. Adoption of reusable polymer soft molds enabled the control of the thickness of the highly ordered porous alumina. It also increased reproducibility of imprinting process and reduced the expense for mold production and pattern generation. As nanoporous alumina templates are mechanically and thermally stable, we expect that the simple and costeffective fabrication through our method would be highly applicable in electronics industry.

Nanoporous anodic alumina membranes (NAAM) with high-density through-hole pores fabricated by hard anodization of aluminum in 0.3 M oxalic acid under the applied voltage of 40 (mild anodization), 80, 100, 120 and 140 V were investigated. The current-time responses monitored using a PC-controlled anodization cell and the corresponding pore structures attainable from field-enhanced scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) were analyzed in order to establish the optimum fabrication process. The nanoporous structure can be produced for all the voltage conditions, while the stabilized through-hole pore formation seems to occur at 40, 80 and 140 V. The growth rate under 140 V hard anodization was over 30 times higher than under 40 V mild anodization (1.5 um/hr).

나노재료의 합성이나 나노구조물질의 제작은 나노기술을 기반으로 하는 전자소자를 구현하기 위해서 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 나노다공성 알루미나 마스크(nanoporous alumina mask) 를 이용하여 균일도와 정렬도가 우수한 나노구조물들을 제조할 수 있고 이들의 크기와 밀도는 알루미나 마스크의 동공의 직경과 동공밀도를 조절하여 제어할 수 있다. 이러한 방법은 낮은 비용으로 나노구조물의 대면적 제조 공정 개발이 가능하고, 정보통신기술와 바이오기술-나노기술을 융합하는 새로운 물질의 제조에 응용할 수 있을 것이다. 그러므로, 알루미나 마스크를 사용하여 다양한 크기와 밀도를 갖는 나노물질을 제조하는 기술은 새로운 형태의 다양한 전자소자의 구현을 위해 가능성이 큰 기술이라 할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 나노다공성 알루미나 마스크를 제조하는 기술과 이를 이용한 양자점(quantum dots), 나노홀(nanoholes), 나노막대(nanorods) 등의 나노구조물 제조와 그 구조물의 응용성에 대해 알아보고자 한다.

Nanoporous anodic alumina membranes (NAAM) with high aspect ratio, self-ordered pore array were fabricated by high-field 2-step anodization method. High voltages of 80, 100, 120 and 140 V as well as 40 V for comparison were applied to an aluminum anode with respect to a Pt cathode immersed both in 0.3M oxalic acid solution in order to investigate the self-ordering characteristics of the nanoporous structure. The pore structures, including interpore distance, pore size, pore density, and porosity as well as the ordering characteristic were analyzed using field-enhanced scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and the corresponding Fourier-transformed images. The nanoporous structure could be produced for all the voltage conditions, but the well-ordered through-hole pore without a branched structure seemed to occur only at 40 and 140 V. It turned out that the growth rate under 140 V high-field anodization was about 40 times higher than under conventional 40 V mild anodization, which enabled the fast fabrication of self-ordered, high aspect ratio NAAMs.

A cost-effective preparation method is proposed to prepare nanoporous alumina (NA) using aluminum chloride as a precursor with a lower cost than aluminum butoxide. In addition, the surfactant template was replaced with magnesium stearate, which has a lower unit cost in stearate acid. The adsorption isotherm test for the CO gas was carried out to compare the adsorption performance of the NA adsorbents prepared using post-hydrolysis (NA) and cost-effective precipitation (C-NA). In addition, C-NA exhibited a similar uptake capacity as NA, and the maximum uptake capacity of Pd/C-NA increased 1.3 times via Pd nanodots loading.

This study investigated the mechanical tearing of a cell membrane using a nanostructured alumina filter for easy and quick mechanical cell disruption. Nanostructured alumina filters were prepared by a multi-step aluminum anodizing process and nanopore etching process. Six different types of nanostructures were formed on the surface of the nanoporous alumina filters to compare the mechanical cell disruption characteristics according to the shape of the nanostructure. The prepared alumina filter was assembled in a commercial filter holder, and then, NIH3T3 fibroblast cells in a buffer solution were passed through the nanostructured alumina filter at a constant pressure. By measuring the concentration of proteins and DNA, the characteristics of mechanical cell disruption of the nanostructured alumina filter were investigated.

본 연구에서는 용매열합성법(solvothermal method)을 이용해 나노기공 HKUST-1 분리막을 제조하였다. In-situ 용매열합성법을 이용하는 경우, 매크로 기공의 알루미나 지지체 위에 균일하고 균열이 없는 HKUST-1 층을 형성하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 용매열합성 전에 알루미나 지지체의 표면을 가열한 상태에서 용매열합성의 전구체 용액을 분무하므로 연속적이고 균열이 없는 HKUST-1 분리막을 제조할 수 있었다. 합성된 HKUST-1 분리막은 XRD, FE-SEM 및 단일 기체투과 실험 등을 통해 분석하였다.

Nanoporous anodic aluminum oxide (AAO), a self-ordered hexagonal array has various applications for nanofabrication such as nanotemplate, and nanostructure. In order to obtain highly-ordered porous alumina membranes, Masuda et al. proposed a two-step anodization process however this process is confined to small domain size and long hours. Recently, alternative methods overcoming limitations of two-step process were used to make prepatterned Al surface. In this work, we confirmed that there is a specific tendency used a PDMS stamp to obtain a pre-patterned Al surface. Using the nanoindentaions of a PDMS stamp as chemical carrier for wet etching, we can easily get ordered nanoporous template without two-step process. This chemical etching method using a PDMS stamp is very simple, fast and inexpensive. We use two types of PDMS stamps that have different intervals (800nm, 1200nm) and change some parameters have influenced the patterning of being anodized, applied voltage, soaking and stamping time. Through these factors, we demonstrated the patterning effect of large scale PDMS stamp.
