To overcome the solubility of poorly water-soluble drug, the formation of solid dispersion using a spray-dryer with polymeric material, that can potentially enhance the dissolution rate extend of drug absorption was considered in this study. $Eudragit^{(R)}$ E100 as carrier for solid dispersion is acrylate copolymer that soluble in acidic buffer solutions (below pH 5.0). It was used to increase dissolution of atorvastatin calcium as a water-insoluble drug in acidic environments. In this study, a spray-dryer was used to prepare solid dispersion of atorvastatin calcium and $Eudragit^{(R)}$ E100 for purpose of improving the solubility of drug. Atorvastatin calcium and $Eudragit^{(R)}$ E100 were dissolved in ethanol and spray-dryed. DSC and XRD were used to analyze the crystallinity of the sample. It was found that atorvastatin calcium is amorphous in the $Eudragit^{(R)}$ E100 solid dispersion. FT-IR was used to analyze the salt formation by interaction between atorvastatin calcium and $Eudragit^{(R)}$ E100. Comparative dissolution study exhibited better dissolution characteristics than the commercial drug ($Lipitor^{(R)}$) as control. The dissolution rate of atorvastatin calcium was markedly increased in solid dispersion system in simulated gastric juice (pH 1.2). This study proposed that this solid dispersion system improved the bioavailability of poorly water-soluble atorvastatin calcium.

A flat type microgas sensor was fabricated on the p-type silicon wafer with low stress S $i_3$ $N_4$, whose thickness is 2${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ using MEMS technology and its characteristics were investigated. W $O_3$thin film as a sensing material for detection of N $O_2$gas was deposited using a tungsten target by sputtering method, followed by thermal oxidation at several temperatures (40$0^{\circ}C$~$600^{\circ}C$) for one hour. N $O_2$gas sensitivities were investigated for the W $O_3$thin films with different annealing temperatures. The highest sensitivity when operating at 20$0^{\circ}C$ was obtained for the samples annealed at $600^{\circ}C$. As the results of XRD analysis, the annealed samples had polycrystalline phase mixed with triclinic and orthorhombic structures. The sample exhibit higher sensitivity when the system has less triclinic structure. The sensitivities, $R_{gas}$ $R_{air}$ operating at 20$0^{\circ}C$ to 5 ppm N $O_2$of the sample annealed at $600^{\circ}C$ were approximately 90. 90.

High concentrated $TiO_2$ nano colloids were synthesized by sol-gel method. Reactions were performed in $TiCl_4$/HCl/$H_2O$ aqueous solution and the conditions of particles such as shape, size and aggregation, etc. were controlled by polymerization and adsorption of acrylamide in surface of $TiO_2$ nano particles. And also, aminopropyltriethoxysilane was added instead of acrylamide and compared each other. The prepared colloids were well dispersed and showed the strong absorption peaks at 350nm-370nm which is blue shifted to 20-30nm, compared to macro particles. The obtained techniques from $TiO_2$ nato colloids synthesis were utilized in coating on boron nitride powders which are nonpolar and isoelectronic materials of carbon. Their surface morphology, structure, thermal stability and U. V absorption chracteristics were examined by SEM(Scanning Electron Microscopy), XRD(X-ray diffraction), TG/DTA(Thermogravimetric and Differential Thermal Analysis), UV-VIS(Ultraviolet-Visible Spectroscopy).

질소산화물 ($NO_X$)은 고정원(화력발전소, 산업시설) 및 이동원(자동차, 선박) 등에서 배출되어지며, 발암물질 및 광화학 스모그의 주범으로 작용하고 있다. 선택적 촉매 환원법(SCR)은 $NO_X$를 제거하는 가장 효율적인 방법이며, 상업용으로 사용되어지는 $V_2O_5-WO_3/TiO_2$계 촉매에서 $V_2O_5$ 함량은 0.5~3 wt%, $WO_3$ 함량은 5~10 wt%이다. 촉매 성분 중 $V_2O_5$의 경우 $NO_X$ 환원 반응을 통해 촉매 작용을 촉진시키지만, 과량으로 첨가될 경우, $SO_2$에서 $SO_3$로의 산화 반응을 증가시킨다. 본 연구에서는 높은 탈질 효율을 유지시킴과 더불어, 바나듐의 함량을 줄이기 위하여, 그래핀을 바나듐 담지 matrix로 사용하여 나노복합체를 합성하였으며, 합성된 나노복합체를 첨가하여 Honeycomb형 1 inch SCR 촉매를 제조하였다. 제조된 SCR 촉매는 XRD(X-ray Diffraction), XRF(X-ray Fluorescence Spectrometer), BET(Brunauer, Emmett & Teller) 등의 분석을 통해 물성 평가를 진행하였으며, Micro Reactor(MR)를 이용하여 활성평가를 진행하였다. 그 결과, 촉매 상용 운전 온도인 $350^{\circ}C$에서 나노복합체가 첨가된 SCR 촉매의 탈질 효율은 77.1 %로 상용촉매의 탈질 효율인 77.8 %와 유사한 효율을 나타내는 것을 확인하였다.

Water pollution means that the physical, chemical and biological properties of water are changing. In this study, adsorption was chosen as the treatment method because it is an eco-friendly and low cost approach. Magnetite is a magnetic material that can synthesize chemical precipitation. Magnetite was used for the removal of copper in artificial water samples. For this purpose, metal removal from water dependent on the pH, initial concentration of metal, amount of adsorbent and effect of sorption time were investigated. Magnetite was characterized using XRD, SEM and particle size distribution. The copper ions were determined by atomic absorption spectrometry. The adsorption of copper on the magnetite was studied in a batch process, with different aqueous solutions of Cu (II) at concentrations ranging from 10 to $50mg\;l^{-1}$. Optimum conditions for using magnetite were found to be concentration of $10mg\;L^{-1}$, pH: 4.5, contact time: 40 min. Optimum adsorbent was found to be 0.3 gr. Furthermore, adsorption isotherm data were analyzed using the Langmuir and Freundlich equations. The adsorption data fitted well with the Freundlich ($r^2=0.9701$) and Langmuir isotherm ($r^2=0.9711$) equations. Kinetic and equilibrium aspects of the adsorption process were studied. The time-dependent Cu (II) adsorption data were described well by a pseudo-second-order kinetic model.

For the better success of biomedical implant surgery, we used a modified solution combustion method to synthesize Hydroxyapatite (HA) and Chromium ($Cr^{3+}$) modified Cr-HA with different concentrations of 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, 2.0 and 2.5. The Cr-HA nanopowder was characterized by TGA, XRD, SEM-EDS and TEM. The HA and Cr-HA powders were subjected to in vitro biological studies to determine their biocompatibility and hemocompatibility. The cytotoxicity of HA and Cr-HA were evaluated on Hela (Cervical cancer) cells and L929 (mouse fibroblast) cells by using MTT assay. Hemocompatibility studies demonstrated a noticeable haemolytic ratio below 5%, which confirms that these materials are compatible in nature with human blood. The results of the present work confirm that the synthesised HA and Cr-HA are biocompatible and can be extensively used in the biomedical field to improve overall material biological properties.

As a low K material for high frequency high integration modules, glass/ceramic composites were investigated. Glass composition were selected from $SiO_2-B_2O_3-Al_2O_3-R_2O$-RO system which having very low dielectric constant and cordierite was used as a ceramic filler. These composites were sintered at temperature range from $850^{\circ}$ to $950^{\circ}$ and XRD, SEM microstructure analysis of sintered bodies were performed for understanding sintering behavior. Any crystallization was not occurred and dense sintered bodies were attained. Dielectric and mechanical properties of these sintered glass/cordierite composites were analysed by network analyzer and UTM. Glass/ceramic composite with 50 wt% cordierite showing a dielectric constant (${\varepsilon}_r$) of 5.4, Q${\times}f_0$ (Q) of 1600 at 1 GHz and maximum bending strength of 163 MPa was attained.

본 연구는 VOC 배출원 중 도장, 인쇄 공정에서 주요 발생물질인 톨루엔을 저온 분해할 수 있는 귀금속 팔라듐촉매 개발에 목적을 두고 있다. 팔라듐은 톨루엔 제거에서 활성이 우수하지만 비용이 높다. 따라서 실용성의 방안으로 Pd 담지량의 최소화 비율(0.1~1.0wt%)로 제조한 촉매의 활성을 측정하였다. 그 결과 1.0wt% Pd(R) 촉매가 모든 조건에서 가장 높은 활성을 나타내었다. 이는 SEM 촬영과 XRD 분석을 통해 촉매 제조과정에서 Pd의 담지량 및 소성 분위기에 따른 분산 형태와 연관이 있는 것으로 사료된다.

A series of $MoO_3/CeO_2-ZrO_2$ catalysts with different Mo content (8 - 20 wt %) were prepared by simple co-precipitation followed by impregnation method and were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), infrared spectroscopy (IR), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), energy dispersive spectroscopic (EDS) techniques. The prepared materials were tested for catalytic activity by the synthesis of benzimidazole derivatives using condensation of aromatic aldehydes and o-phenylenediamine by conventional and microwave method. Obtained results reveal that the catalytic activity increases with increase in Mo wt % loading. The best catalytic activity was obtained with 20 wt % $MoO_3/CeO_2-ZrO_2$. The particle size or crystallite size was estimated using Debye-Scherrer equation. After completion of reaction, the catalyst can be recovered efficiently and reused with consistent activity.
