To improve various physical properties of poly(isobutylene oxide) copolymers of isobutylene oxide and cyclohexene oxide have been synthesized with triisobutylaluminum as catalyst. The molecular weights of the copolymers are rather lower than that of poly(isobutylene oxide) prepared with diethylzinc catalyst. The glass transition temperatures of the copolymers are between those of two homopolymers. The copolymers of isobutylene oxide and vinyl cyclohexene oxide showed better thermal stability. Oligomer of isobutylene oxide has been synthesized for polyol and lubricant application. Acid catalyzed oligomerization gave vary complex mixture. But base catalyzed reaction afforded the pentamer and hexamer rich oligomer mixtures.

$MnO_2$, a metal oxide used as an electrode material in electrochemical capacitors (EDLCs), has been applied in binary oxide and conducting polymer hybrid electrodes to increase their stability and capacitance. We developed a method for electrodepositing Mn-Ni oxide/PANI, Mn-Ni oxide/PEDOT, and Mn-Ni-Ru oxide/PEDOT films on carbon paper in a single step using a mixed bath. Mn-Ni oxide/PEDOT and Mn-Ni-Ru oxide/PEDOT electrodes used in an electro-osmotic pump (EOP) have shown better efficiency compared to Mn-Ni oxide and Mn-Ni oxide/PANI electrodes through testing in water as a pumping solution. EOP using a Mn-Ni-Ru oxide/PEDOT electrode was also tested in a 0.5 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution as a pumping solution to confirm the effect of the $Li^+$ insertion/de-insertion reaction of Ruthenium oxide on the EOP. Experimental results show that the flow rate increases with the increase in current in a 0.5 mM $Li_2SO_4$ solution compared to that obtained when water was used as a pumping solution.

Fullerene oxides were synthesized by fullerene ($C_{70}$) and several amine N-oxides such as 3-picoline N-oxide, pyridine N-oxide hydrate, quinoline N-oxide, and isoquinoline N-oxide under ultrasonic condition at $25{\sim}43^{\circ}C$. The reactivity of fullerene ($C_{70}$) with various amine N-oxides undo, ultrasonic irradiation showed the same in all of the proceeding experiments; 3-picoline N-oxide : pyridine N-oxide hydrate : quinoline N-oxide : isoquinoline N-oxide. The MALDI-TOF MS, UV-vis spectrophotometer and HPLC analysis confirmed that the products of fullerene oxidation are [$C_{70}(O)n$] (n=1).

Recently it is often reported about toxic nanomaterials to organisms. In other words, it is called nanotoxicity, toxic nanomaterials have extremely toxic properties. Zinc oxide is widely used as a promising nanomaterials, but some researchers are warning that nanotype zinc oxide has nanotoxicity. One of typical zinc oxide materials is a zinc oxide nanowire, especially, there is no technique which is detecting a zinc oxide nanowire because of its geometric. In here, we use reduced graphene oxide in order to detect zinc oxide nanowire and use DNA immobilized cantilever sensor, we detect graphene wrapped zinc oxide nanowire. Detection of a zinc oxide nanowire is measured by shifting of cantilever's resonance frequency based on vibration theory. It is proved that cantilever sensor is valid for nanomaterial detection. We showed that detection of a zinc oxide nanowire is successful.

Whole cells of Methylosinus trichosporium OB3b, the obligate methylotroph, were used to produce propylene oxide from propane. This strain has methane monooxygenase, which catalyzes the conversion methane to methanol and can catalyze also the conversion propane to propylene oxide. Optimal condition for the production of propylene oxide was investigated in resting-whole cell system. The optimal pH and temperature was 7.0 and $35^{\circ}C$ respectively. The end product, propylene oxide, didn't inhibit the production of propylene oxide and was not further metabolized in reaction mixture. The addition of methane metabolites (methanol, formaldehde and formic acid) to the reaction mixture stimulated formation of propylene oxide by $3{\sim}4$ times, and methanol was the most effective especially. Under the optimal conditions, the 14.2 mM of propylene oxide was produced after incubation of 60 min. and the conversion ratio of propane to propylene oxide was approximately 8%.

The role of added metal oxide in the adherence mechanism of low melting glass to several metal plates such as oxygen free high conducting copper, low carbon steel, chrominum galvanized on copper, and stainless steel was investigated. The metal oxide which added to glass were cupric oxide, ferric oxide, chromic oxide, and stainless steel oxide. The glass to that various metla oxide were added, sealed with several metal plates in the electric furnace at $650^{\circ}C$ for 5 minutes. The results as follows; 1) The interfacial reaction was promoted and strong chemical bonding with glass and metals by which the surface energy was decreased showed excellent sealing by addition of metal oxide. 2) When the interfacial reaction of glass and metals was promoted by addition of metal oxide found out that various adhernece mechanism were related to the sealing. 3) When the amount of metal oxide addition was 3-5% the excellent sealing was achieved.

Superthin ONO ( oxide -nitride - oxide ) structures were fabricated for the MONOS nonvolatile memory device with a 20$\AA$ tunneling oxide, 40$\AA$ nitride and 40$\AA$ blocking oxide. The compositions of each layer in a superthin ONO structure were investigated. Also, the characteristics of trap related to the memory quality were examined.

We have proposed a design methodology for large active-area single-mode VCSELS, which have higher reliability and output power, and are well-suited for high-speed operation. The key idea underlying the design methodology is to reduce the effective index difference between active and cladding regions by controlling the thickness and position of the oxide layer. The idea is confirmed by the self-consistent effective index method. By placing the oxide layer position properly, we can increase the radius of the oxide aperture for single-mode operation by 3 times.

This is the study on diffusion of ceramic body oxide compounds to glaze. For ceramic bodies, no ferrous oxides contain white ware, celadon, and 3 wt% iron oxides contained white ware was used in this experiment. These ceramic bodies were glazed by transparency glaze, iron oxides contained glaze, and glaze made by pine tree ash that treated in 1240 degree, under reduction condition for an hour. An electron probe microanalyzer(EPMA) was used to study diffusion of oxides and to calculate distance of ceramics bodies. As a result, only iron oxide and magnesium oxide from the body diffused to glaze, and also made a band which shown very thin layer of iron oxide and magnesium oxide between the body and glaze. The densest band of iron oxide formed 100 to $150{\mu}m$ in the glaze, and the densest band of magnesium oxide was found 50 to $100{\mu}m$ in the glaze. Therefore, it could be concluded that iron oxide in the body is diffused to the glaze and it affects the color of glaze, even though iron oxide exists in the glaze. Furthermore, the thickness of the glaze has an effect on the color of celadon.

A black nickel oxide powder, one of the commercial nickel oxide ores, was reduced by hydrogen gas in a batch-type fluidized-bed reactor in a temperature range of 350 to $500^{\circ}C$ and in a residence time range of 5 to 120 min. The hydrogen reduction behavior of the black nickel oxide was found to be somewhat different from that of green nickel oxide ore. For the black nickel oxide, the maximum temperature (below which nickel oxide particles can be reduced without any agglomeration) was significantly lower than that observed for the green nickel oxide. In addition, the best curve fittings of the Avrami model were obtained at higher values of the overall rate constant "k" and at lower values of the exponent "m", compared to those values for the green nickel oxide. It may be inferred from these results that the hydrogen reduction rate of the black nickel oxide is faster than that of the green nickel oxide in the early stages, but the situation reverses in the later stages. For the black nickel oxide ore, in spite of the low temperature sintering, it was possible to achieve a high degree fluidized-bed reduction at lower temperatures and at lower gas consumption rates than was possible for the green nickel oxide. In this regard, the use of black nickel oxide is expected to yield a benefit if its ore price is sufficiently lower than that of the green nickel oxide.
