Electroless plating is widely utilized in engineering for the metallization of insulator substrates, including polymers, glass, and ceramics, without the need for the application of external potential. Homogeneous nucleation of metals requires the presence of Sn-Pd catalysts, which significantly reduce the activation energy of deposition. Therefore, rinsing conducted during Sn sensitization and Pd activation is a key variable for the formation of a uniform seed layer without the lack or excess of catalysts. Herein, we report the optimized rinsing process for the functionalization of Sn-Pd catalysts, which enables the uniform FeCo metallization of the glass fibers. Rinsing enables good deposition of the FeCo alloy because of the removal of excess catalysts from the glass fiber. Concurrently, excessive rinsing results in a complete removal of the Sn-Pd nucleus. Collectively, the comprehensive study of the proposed nanomaterial preparation and surface science show that the metallization of insulators is a promising technology for electronics, solar cells, catalysts, and mechanical parts.

Long term stability, sensitization in air, and gas sensing behaviors of tin oxide films were investigated with doping of antimony and palladium. The tin oxide films were prepared on a Corning glass by reactive rf sputtering method and tested for detection of hydrogen gas. Sb-doping improved a long-term stability in the base resistance of $SnO_2$ film sensor. A small amount of Pd doping caused the optimum sensor operating temperature to reduce and also enhanced the gas sensitivity, compared with the undoped $SnO_2$ film. Gas sensitivity depended largely on the film thickness. The important sensitization reactions for sensor operating were $(O_{2ads})+e^-\;{\rightarrow}\;2(O_{ads})^-$ on the surface of $SnO_2$ film at elevated temperature in air and a followed reaction of hydrogen atoms with $(O_{ads})^-$ ions.

Gas sensitizations of tin oxide film were investigated by measuring the change of film resistance in various gas atmospheres such as $N_2,\; O_2,\; H_2O$. The main test sample, polycrystalline $SnO_2$ film containing small Sb as a dopant was prepared by a sputtering technique and showed a long term stability in base resistance and thus, in gas sensitivity. The adsorption of oxygen on the film surface as a type of $(O_{ads})$ at the temperature of around $300^{\circ}C$ played important roles in sensor operating mechanism. The roles were ⅰ) the increase of base resistance in ambient air, which consequently lead to high sensitivity and ⅱ) the promotion of fast recovery. The reaction of hydrogen gas with the already adsorbed $(O_{ads})$ ions was considered as a decisive sensitization mechanism of tin oxide film. However, the dissociation of hydrogen molecules on film surface, by direct donation of electron to film also took a major part in the sensitization. The effect of humidity on gas sensitization was found to be negligible at the sensor operating temperature of around $300^{\circ}C$.

X-ray phtoelectron spectroscopy has been used to obtain information on the behavior of the Pb catalysis and Sn sensitizer on the bariumtitanate ceramic substrate. SnF2 sensitization and PbCl2 activation process are used are used to prepare nonconductive substrate for electroless plating. This method of surface preparation is compared to Pd-Sn mixed solu tions and Ag pretreatment process. In all the case, the bonding energy is about 487.5eV for Sn and 336.5~337.5eV for Pb.

Nanofibers(NFs), because of their high surface area and nanosized grains, have appropriate morphologies for use in chemiresistive-type sensors for gas detection applications. In this study, a highly sensitive and selective CO gas sensing material based on Au-decorated $SnO_2$ NFs was fabricated by electrospinning. $SnO_2$ NFs were synthesized by electrospinning and subsequently decorated with various amounts of Au nanoparticles(NPs) by sputtering; this was followed by thermal annealing. Different characterizations showed the successful formation of Au-decorated $SnO_2$ NFs. Gas sensing tests were performed on the fabricated sensors, which showed bell-shaped sensing behavior with respect to the amount of Au decoration. The best CO sensing performance, with a response of ~20 for 10 ppm CO, was obtained at an optimized amount of Au (2.6 at.%). The interplay between Au and $SnO_2$ in terms of the electronic and chemical sensitization by Au NPs is responsible for the great improvement in the CO sensing capability of pure $SnO_2$ NFs, suggesting that Au-decorated $SnO_2$ NFs can be a promising material for fabricating highly sensitive and selective chemiresistive-type CO gas sensors.

들뜬 rhodamine B로부터 박막반도체 $SnO_2$의 전도띠로 주입되는 광전류를 여러 가지의 초감응체가 존재하는 용액에서 시간에 따라 조사하였다. ascorbic acid를 초감응체로 쓰면 그것의 농도, 용액의 pH, 그리고 $SnO_2$에 걸어주는 전위 등이 증가함에 따라 광전류가 대체로 증가하였으나, 전위가 노팡짐에 따라 암전류도 증가하였다. 반면에 KI를 초감응제로 사용하면 낮지만 비교적 안정한 전류를 보여주었다. 용매효과를 포함하여 이들 광감응전류를 증가시키는 원인을 규명해 보았다.

Thiourea, 1-allyl-2-thiourea, NaI 또는 NaSCN 등의 초감응제 존재하에 광전기화학셀, $ITO/SnO_2/eosin$ B, $NaClO_4/Pt$ 을 이용하여 들뜬 eosin B로부터 박막 전도체 $SnO_2$의 전도띠로 주입되는 광전류의 크기를 장시간에 걸쳐 조사하였다. Thiourea 또는 allylthiourea를 첨가하면, 큰 초기 광전류를 나타내지만 시간에 따라 감소한 반면, 흡광도는 오히려 증가하다가 일정시간 후에는 계속 감소하는 특성을 나타내었다. 이를 분광학적으로 조사한 결과 빛을 받아서 흡광도가 더 큰 물질로 변화하므로 흡광도는 증가하나 형광 양자수율이 보다 더 크게 증가하기 때문에 광전류는 감소하는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

본 실험에서는 PET 위 무전해 도금을 위한 대안 공정 개발을 목적으로 은(Ag)와 과망간산염($MnO_4{^-}$)를 사용하여 기존에 일반적으로 사용된 Sn/Pd의 Sensitization과 Activation process를 대체하는 기술을 연구했다. Palladium(Pd)의 경우 공정비용에서 높은 부분을 차지하기 때문에 이를 대신하여 Ag를 사용했으며, PET 표면의 전처리를 위해 Ultra Violet과 과망간 산염을 이용하여 표면의 친수성을 높였다. 과망간산염을 사용하여 표면을 전처리하는 과정에서 이산화망간($MnO_2$)과 알코올 작용기가 생성되는데 Ag activation 단계에서 촉매 생성에 중간 매개체 역할을 하는 것으로 사료된다. 이와 같은 결론을 도출 하기 위해서 표면 위 Ag의 화학적 구조 및 상 분석을 위해 XPS와 TEM이 사용되었으며 표면에서 Ag는 Ag-O와 같은 Silver oxide의 형태와 Ag-Mn-O와 같은 Compound로 무전해 도금을 위한 촉매 역할 하는 것으로 판단된다.

In the case of occlusive dressings currently used in dressings for burn treatment, it is impossible to confirm the replacement time, so replacement is delayed, resulting in additional infection. To solve this problem, liposomes capable of bacterial sensing were prepared using 5(6)-Carboxyfluorescein, Phosphatidylcholine, 1,2-Dipalmitoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine, Cholesterol, and 10,12-Tricosadiynoic acid. In this study, evaluation of changes in drug encapsulation rate in liposomes according to changes in three types of phosphatidylcholine phospholipids during liposome production, high-performance phosphatidylcholine phospholipids selected through vesicle size analysis, low and high temperature stability evaluation, bacterial sensitization ability evaluation, animals cell responses were assessed.

The effects of surface modification by nitric acid on the pre-treatment of electroless copper plating were investigated. Copper was electroless-plated on the nitric acid treated graphite activated by a two-step pre-treatment process (sensitization + activation). The chemical state and relative quantities of the various surface species were determined by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) after nitric acid modification or pre-treatment. The acid treatment increased the surface roughness of the graphite due to deep and fine pores and introduced the oxygen-containing functional groups (-COOH and O-C=O) on the surface of graphite. In the pre-treatment step, the high roughness and many functional groups on the nitric acid treated graphite promoted the adsorption of Sn and Pd ions, leading to the uniform adsorption of catalyst ($Pd^0$) for Cu deposition. In the early stage of electroless plating, a lot of tiny copper particles were formed on the whole surface of acid treated graphite and then homogeneous copper film with low variation in thickness was formed after 30 min.
