Pure and stable YAG $(Y_3Al_5O_{12})$ powders were synthesized by a PVA (polyvinyl alcohol) polymer solution technique. PVA was used as an organic carrier for the precursor ceramic gel. The precursor gels were crystallized to YAG at relatively a low temperature of $900\;^{\circ}C$. The synthesized powders, which have nano-sized primary particles, were soft and porous, and the porous powders were ground to sub-micron size by a simple ball milling process. The ball-milled powders were densified to 94% relative density at $1500\;^{\circ}C$ for 1h. In this study, the characteristics of the synthesized YAG powders were examined.

A homogeneous and stable, amorphous-type, anorthite (CaO $Al_2$$O_3$ $2SiO_2$)powder was synthesized by an organic-inorganic steric entrapment route. Polyvinyl alcohol ( PVA) was used as an organic carrier for the precursor ceramic gel. The PVA content, its degree of polymerization and type of silica sol had a significant influence on the calcination and crystallization behavior of the precursors. For densifiction and crystallization at low temperature, porous and soft, amorphous-type anorthite powder was planetary milled for 20h. The milled powder crystallized to stable anorthite phase and densified to a relative density of 94% below $1000^{\circ}C$. In the development of crystalline phases of the planetary milled powder, omisteinbergite phase was unusually observed at $900^{\circ}C$, and then anorthite was observed at $950^{\circ}C$. The sintered anorthite had a thermal expansion coefficient of $4.6$\times$10^{-6}$ /$^{\circ}C$ and a dielectric constant of 7.5 at 1 MHz. Finally, the anorthite synthesized by the new process is expected to be an useful material for low-firing ceramic substrate.

The present study fabricated polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) fiber-reinforced alkali-activated slag/fly ash (AASF) composites with varying mixture ratios of slag and fly ash. The thermomechanical behaviors of the AASF composites exposed to 200, 400, 600, or 800℃ were evaluated by means of compressive strength test, visual observation, and fire resistance tests. X-ray diffractometry, mercury intrusion porosimetry, and thermogravimetry tests were performed to analyze the microstructure change of the AASF composites upon exposure to high temperatures. Specimens exhibited a gradual strength loss up to 600℃, while also showing a significant decrease in the strength above 600℃. The fire resistance test revealed the occurrence of an inflection point as indicated by an increase in the internal temperature at around 200℃. In addition, specimens showed the dehydration of C-S-H gel, the presence of åkermanite, gehlenite, and anorthite upon exposure to 800℃, which is associated with the formation of macropore population with pores having diameters of 1-3 ㎛ and 20-40 ㎛. Visual observation indicated that the PVA fibers mitigated the cracking and/or spalling of the specimens upon exposure to 800℃.

난분해성 및 독성 폐수 처리는 고급산화 기술과 생물학적 처리가 친화결합(intimate coupling) 을 이룰 때 최적의 효과를 거둘 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 광촉매 산화와 생물학적 처리를 친화결합하도록 고안된 다공성 $TiO_2$ 코팅 담체를 제조하여 광촉매 반응에 관한 동력학 연구를 수행하였다. 저온 sol-gel 코팅법으로 제조된 PVA 재질의 다공성 $TiO_2$ 담체는 UV 조사하에서 methylene blue (MB)를 효율적으로 분해하였다. 시험 농도(최대 100 ${\mu}M$)에서 MB의 흡착속도는 1차반응 (first-order reaction)의 성질을 보였으며, 흡착과 산화를 포함한 총반응속도는 유사 Langmuir 모델로 예측 가능하였다. 이러한 원인은 담체 표면에 MB가 흡착됨에 따라 UV 조사에 의하여 광촉매 반응이 일어날 표면이 줄어들었기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 다공성 $TiO_2$ 담체의 단위 $TiO_2$ 량당 최대 MB 제거속도는 슬러리 $TiO_2$ 반응기에서 얻은 MB 제거속도보다 4배 더 빨랐다. 본 연구로 인하여 저온 sol-gel 코팅법으로 제조한 PVA 재질 다공성 $TiO_2$ 담체가 성공적인 광분해 반응을 나타내는 것이 확인되었으며, 동 담체에 대한 광촉매 반응의 동력학적 성질이 구명되어, 향후 생물처리를 친화결합 시킬 수 있는 연구 바탕을 확보하였다.

Single phase La1-xSrxCoO3 (x≤0.2) was synthesized as a uniform sized 100 nm particulates with relatively high surface area of 20-30 m2/g, at low temperature (≥600 ℃), from a polymeric gel precursors prepared by using poly(vinyl alcohol) as homogenizer. No minor phase developed during the crystallization when polymer/metal mole ratio was higher than 3. As the polymer/metal mole ratio was raised in the gel, the amount of carbonaceous residues in the amorphous solid precursor prepared by heating the gel at 300 ℃ increased. Most of the residues were eliminated by exothermic thermal decomposition around 400 ℃. The amount of residual carbon (less than 1%) left in the crystalline La1-xSrxCoO3 decreased as more polymer was used, eliminating detrimental effect which might be posed by using large amount of organic homogenizer. The crystal structure of La1-xSrxCoO3 synthesized at temperature lower than 800 ℃ was observed to be shifted from rhombohedral to more symmetric cubic. The structure shifted back to rhombohedral as the cubic sample was annealed at 1000 ℃.

This paper describes the spherical ammonium diuranate gel particles which are the intermediated material of the $UO_2$ microsphere for an VHTR(very high temperature reactor) nuclear fuel. The characteristics of the intermediate-ADU gel particles prepared by AWD(ageing, washing, and drying) and FB(fluidized-bed) apparatus were examined and compared in a sol-gel fabrication process. The electrical conductivity of washing filtrate from the FB treating and the surface area of dried-ADU gel particles were higher than those of AWD treating. Also, an internal pore volume in dried-ADU gel particles showed a more decrease in AWD treatment than FB treatment because of decomposition of PVA affected by the washing time. However, the internal microstructures of ADU gel particles were similar regardless of the process variation.

N-substituted acrylamide hydrogel is reported to have the feature of bing transparent and sensitive enough to response to a temperature stimulus below the temperature of phase transition. Especially at the near of 35 C it becomes shrunk and opaque very quickly. It has also the characteristic of reversing swelling and shrinking. The experiment showed that it is possible to produce a functional gel of super water absorption with the process of free radical polymerizing PVA(polyvinylalcohol) and PAA(polyacrylamide), and crosslinking. The ratio of shrinking and swelling caused by copolymerization rises 10% to 80% at the each temperature of 20 C, 30 C, 40 C, respectively. Phase transition temperature of this gel by copolymerization is50 C while that of ordinary N-substituted acrylamides is between 32~35 C. This temperature reaches the rearing limit of animals and plants so that volumetric transition polymer gel can be ulilized in varying fields such as agriculture/gardening which are water-using field, on-off switch sensing temperature and volumetric variation, processing of liquid wastes and civil engineering works, architecture and electronics. We have no doubt that this material will be the high-functional resin in the hi-tech age of the near future.

Catechin(CTEC)은 천연항산화제로 알려져 있고 항염증에 효과적이며 피부 창상치료제로 응용되고 있다. 이 연구는 ${\beta}$-cyclodextrin(${\beta}$-CD)으로 나노입자화한 CTEC을 poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)/pectin(PT) 조성의 하이드로젤에 첨가하였다. 피부상처의 재상피화를 위해 CTEC과 ${\beta}$-CD을 분자복합(molecular complex) 방법에 의해 나노입자 제조를 수행하였다. 하이드로젤에 첨가된 CTEC 나노입자는 $250{\pm}17.5$ nm이며, 입자 내 CTEC의 담지 효율은 처음첨가량의 74%가 담지되었음을 확인하였다. CTEC는 하이드로젤 필름으로부터 pH7.4와 pH5.5 버퍼에서 72시간 동안 각각 $86.51{\pm}3.14%$와 $35.95{\pm}2.14%$의 방출을 보였다. 창상치료 실험에서 CTEC 나노입자가 적재된 PVA/PT 조성의 하이드로젤은 CTEC이 함유된 도포형 젤보다 빠른 치유력을 관찰할 수 있었다.

For the nitrate removal in recirculating aquaculture system, a denitrifying bacterium, Pseudomonas fluorescens, was isolated from municipal sewage and the cells were immobilized in modified-polyvinly alchol (PVA) gel beads. The immobilized cells in both the fixed-and fluidized-bed reactors showed 98% of denitrification efficiency with 6hr HRT, and the removal efficiency of total organic carbon (TOC) was above 90%. Form scanning electron microscopy (SEM) observation, it was known that biofilm formed in fixed-bed reactor was thicker than that formed in fluidized-bed reactor as operation time passed.
