졸-겔법으로 촉매농도에 따라 저온 $TiO_2$ 졸을 제조한 후, 침지코팅법을 이용하여 $TiO_2$ 박막을 제작하였다. 제작된 저온 $TiO_2$ 박막의 광학적, 구조적, 광활성 특성을 조사하였다. 0.10 mol, 0.25 mol, 0.50 mol과 0.75 mol의 촉매농도로 제작된 저온 $TiO_2$ 박막은 가시광 영역에서 높은 투과율 특성을 나타내었다. XRD 스펙트럼 결과에 의하면 촉매농도가 증가함에 따라 아나타제 결정구조에서 루타일 결정구조로의 상전이가 촉진되고 결정크기는 촉매농도가 증가함에 따라 아나타제 결정크기가 감소하였다. SEM 결과로부터 $TiO_2$ 박막의 표면입자크기가 0.25 mol의 측매농도에서 가장 작았다. 아나타제 결정구조를 가지는 0.10 mol, 0.25 mol과 0.50 mol의 $TiO_2$ 박막 존재 하에서 메틸렌블루가 완전히 광분해 되는 것을 확인하였다.

Objective: Different methods have been utilized to prevent enamel demineralization and other complications during orthodontic treatment. However, none of these methods can offer long-lasting and effective prevention of orthodontic complications or interventions after complications occur. Considering the photocatalytic effect of $TiO_2$ on organic compounds, we hoped to synthesize a novel bracket with a $TiO_2$ thin film to develop a photocatalytic antimicrobial effect. Methods: The sol-gel dip coating method was used to prepare $TiO_2$ thin films on ceramic bracket surfaces. Twenty groups of samples were composed according to the experimental parameters. Crystalline structure and surface morphology were characterized by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy, respectively; film thickness was examined with a surface ellipsometer. The photocatalytic properties under ultraviolet (UV) light irradiation were analyzed by evaluating the degradation ratio of methylene blue (MB) at a certain time. Antibacterial activities of selected thin films were also tested against Lactobacillus acidophilus and Candida albicans. Results: Films with 5 coating layers annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ showed the greatest photocatalytic activity in terms of MB decomposition under UV light irradiation. $TiO_2$ thin films with 5 coating layers annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ exhibited the greatest antimicrobial activity under UV-A light irradiation. Conclusions: These results provide promising guidance in prevention of demineralization by increasing antimicrobial activities of film coated brackets.

$TiO_2-SiO_2-In_2O_3$ nanocomposite thin film was deposited on the glass substrates using a dip coating technique. The morphology, surface composition, surface hydroxyl groups, photocatalytic activity and hydrophilic properties of the thin film were investigated by AFM, XPS, methyl orange decoloring rate and water contact angle measurements. The hydroxyl content for $TiO_2$, $TiO_2-SiO_2$ and $TiO_2-SiO_2-In_2O_3$ nanocomposite films was calculated to be 11.6, 17.1 and 20.7%, respectively. $TiO_2-SiO_2-In_2O_3$ film turned superhydrophilic after 180-min irradiation with respect to pure $TiO_2$ and $TiO_2-SiO_2$ thin films. The photocatalytic decomposition of methyl orange for $TiO_2$, $TiO_2-SiO_2$ and $TiO_2-SiO_2-In_2O_3$ thin films was measured as 38.19, 58.71 and 68.02%, respectively. The results indicated that $SiO_2$ and $In_2O_3$ had a significant effect on the hydrophilic, photocatalytic and self-cleaning properties of $TiO_2$ thin film.

[ $TiO_{2}-solution$ ] was aaded in $SiO_{2}-solution$ by various composition. $SiO_{2}-TiO_{2}$ thin films were obtained by the dip-coating method on the $SiO_{2}$ glass substrates, and then heat-treated at various temperature. Nano-size $TiO_{2}$ particles dispersed $SiO_{2}-TiO_{2}$ films showed absorption peak by quantum size effect at short wavelength region $350{\sim}400nm$, which made them good candidates for non-linear optical materials and photo-catalytic materials. The thickness of $SiO_{2}-TiO_{2}$ films were $300{\sim}430nm$. The contact angle of $SiO_{2}-TiO_{2}$ films for water was $5.3{\sim}47.9^{\circ}$, and therefore it is clear that $SiO_{2}-TiO_{2}$ films have super hydrophilic properties and the self-cleaning effects.

Tungsten oxide-modified TiO2 thin films were formed on a glass substrate by sol-gel and dip coating processes using acetyl acetone as a chelating agent. The hydrophilic properties of the thin films were investigated with illumination of UV light. The dependence of water contact angle on material composition and morphology of the film is established with SEM image and AFM profile. The surface morphology was controlled with the change of precursor concentration. 0.01 M of tungsten oxide-modified Ti$O_2$ have shown the highest hydrophilicity after UV-irradiation. The effect of composition on photoinduced hydrophilicity of the W$O_3$-Ti$O_2$ films was also investigated. The films were characterized by XRD, SEM, AFM and XPS.

광촉매 연구의 초기는 태양에너지의 전환 및 저장에 관련된 분야들로부터 개발되어 왔다. 최근에는 광 또는 광촉매의 존재 하에서 자외선을 조사하여 물의 정제 및 폐수처리와 각종 유기화합물의 분해연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 또한 산화물질-카본나노튜브, 그래핀 나노복합체 등이 광촉매물질로서 연구되고 있다. 이와 같은 복합체는 열적, 화학적으로 안정하기 때문에 플렉서블 소자를 포함한 광분해 태양전지 및 나노전자 소자를 구성하는 재료로서 적당하다.

Titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) shows antibacterial effects when exposed to near ultra violet (UV) light. In this study, $TiO_2$ photocatalytic continuous reactor was designed and applied to food-borne pathogens such as Vibrio parahaemolyticus ATCC 17802, Salmonella choleraesuis ATCC 14028, and Listeria monocytogenes ATCC 15313. $TiO_2$ films were prepared by conventional sol-gel dip-coating method using titanium tetra iso-propoxide (TTIP). The antibacterial activity of photocatalytic reactor with various flow rates and UV-A illumination time showed effective bactericidal activity. As the UV-A illumination time increased, survival rates of those bacteria decreased. After 60 min of UV-A illumination, the survival rates of V. parahaemolyticus and S. choleraesuis were less than 0.1%. However, that of L. monocytogenes was about 5% at that time point. These results present an effective way to exclude pathogenic bacteria from aqueous foods.

Transparent thin films of pure and nickel-doped ZrO₂ are grown successfully by sol-gel dip-coating technique. The structural and optical properties according to the different annealing temperatures (300 ℃, 400 ℃ and 500 ℃) are investigated. Analysis of crystallographic properties through X-ray diffraction pattern reveals an increase in crystallite size due to increase in crystallinity with temperature. All fabricated thin films are highly-oriented along (101) planes, which enhances the increase in nickel doping. Scanning electron microscopy and energy dispersive spectroscopy are employed to confirm the homogeneity in surface morphology as well as the doping configuration of films. The extinction coefficient is found to be on the order of 10^-2, showing the surface smoothness of deposited thin films. UV-visible spectroscopy reveals a decrease in the optical band gap with the increase in annealing temperature due to the increase in crystallite size. The variation in Urbach energy and defect density with doping and the change in annealing temperature are also studied.

알파 알루미나와 철이 첨가된 티타니아 최종층으로 구성된 세라믹 여과막을 졸-겔방법으로 제조하였다. 철이 첨가된 지지 티타니아 복합여과막은 지지체를 혼합졸에 침지하여 제조하였다. 복합여과막을 $550^{\circ}C$에서 $850^{\circ}C$까지 열처리온도에 따르는 미세구조 변화를 주사전자현미경으로 조사하였다. $650^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 소결한 경우, 철이 첨기된 티타니아 복합여과막의 평균입자 크기는 약 40 nm이었다. 철이 첨가된 티나니아 복합여과막은 티타니아 복합여과막보다 열적 저항성이 우수하였다. 철이 첨가된 티타니아 복합여과막은 $650^{\circ}C$까지 균열이 없는 미세구조와 좁은 입도분포를 유지하였다.

본 연구에서는 W-IPA(peroxo-polytungstic acid)를 출발 물질로 하는 졸 용액을 ITO(indium tin oxide)가 입혀진 유리판 위에 침적 도포(dip-coating) 방법으로 침적시키고, 이것을 겔화시킨 후에 열처리하여 전기 발색 소자 (electrochromic device, ECD)의 텅스텐 산화물 박막 전극을 만들어 이의 전기화학적인 특성을 고찰하였다. 가장 좋은 전기 화학적 특성을 나타내는 조건은 $2g/10mL(W-IPA/H_2O)$졸 용액에 15회 침적 도포하여 $230{\sim}240^{\circ}C$의 온도로 최종 열처리 한 텅스텐 산화물 박막 전극이었으며, 침적 횟수의 증가에 따라 산화 텅스텐 박막의 두께는 비례하여 증가하였고, 5회 침적 도포 이후에는 1회 침적 도포시 약 $60{\AA}$ 두께로 막이 생성됨을 알 수 있었다. 졸-겔법으로 제조된 텅스텐 산화물 박막 전극은 X-선 회절 분석에 의하여 비정질 구조, 주사 전자 현미경에 의하여 박막 표면은 균일한 것으로 조사되었다. 다중 순환 전류-전위 주사법에 의하여 작성된 전류-전위 곡선에 의하면 순환 횟수가 수백회 이상임에도 불구하고 소 발색은 뚜렷하게 나타났으나, 더욱 많은 순환 횟수에서는 전해질인 황산 수용액 중에서 텅스텐 산화물 박막의 박리 현상이 일어나 소 발색의 전류 밀도는 차츰 감소하였다. 전위 주사 속도를 변화시키면서 순환 전류-전위 주사법에 의하여 작성된 전류-전위 곡선으로부터 구한 전기화학적 특성 값을 이용하여 반응에 참여하는 수소 이온의 확산 계수를 구할 수 있었다.
