A metal oxide semiconductor gas sensor is operated by measuring the changes in resistance that occur on the surface of nanostructures for gas detection. ZnO, which is an n-type metal oxide semiconductor, is widely used as a gas sensor material owing to its high sensitivity. Various ZnO nanostructures in gas sensors have been studied with the aim of improving surface reactions. In the present study, the sol-gel and vapor phase growth techniques were used to fabricate nanostructures to improve the sensitivity, response, and recovery rate for gas sensing. The sol-gel method was used to synthesize SnO₂ nanoparticles, which were used as the seed layer. The nanoparticles size was controlled by regulating the process parameters of the solution, such as the pH of the solution, the type and amount of solvent. As a result, the SnO₂ seed layer suppressed the aggregation of the nanostructures, thereby interrupting gas diffusion. The ZnO nanostructures with a sol-gel processed SnO₂ seed layer had larger specific surface area and high sensitivity. The gas response and recovery rate were 1-7 min faster than the gas sensor without the sol-gel process. The gas response increased 4-24 times compared to that of the gas sensor without the sol-gel method.

Sol-gel derived silica films were prepared by dip-coating onto polymethylmethacylate with Tetraethoxysilane(TEOS) as starting materials. Film properties such as viscosity and thickness were investigated as a function of dip speed, waterprecursor ratio, sol aging time. IR spectra of the gel films prepared from TEOS at various R are given. At small values of R the absorption peaks assignable to C-H vibration in $-OC_2H_5$ groups are observed around 3000 and 1500-1300 $cm^{-1}$. These bands indicate that the -$-OC_2H_5$ groups are retained in the gel at small values of R because of incomplete hydrolysis of TEOS. Film behaviour was interpreted in terms of the dependence of hydrolysis and condensation rates on the interplay between sol pH and waterprecursor ratio. Film thickness was found to increase by approximately a factor of two as waterprecursor ratio increased from two to six. Film thickness also increased with sol prepolymerization time. Surface quality was correlated with processing conditions.

The transparent coloration of glasses has been successfully achieved by coated glass surface with squarylium dye by the sol-gel colored coating method. Treatment of sol-gel colored coating layer with HCI(g) greatly decreases the absorbance at λ$_{max}$, that increases exposure to $NH_{3}$(g) and the reversible color-colorless responce was extremely rapid.d.

Disposable amperometric screen-printed biosensor strips have been fabricated by a sol-gel encapsulation for the analysis of glucose. The glucose oxidase(GOx) is entrapped in the gel matrix through sol-gel transition of tetraethoxysliane(TEOS). The biosensor is fabricated by GOx containing thin film of TEOS gel on the surface of screen-printed carbon electrode(SPCE). The GOx-containing thin film of TEOS gel offers a one-step modification process on the surface of SPCE. The optimum conditions for glucose determination have been characterized with respect to the applied potential, enzyme loading ratio, and pH. The linear range and detection limit of glucose detection were from 2.0 mM to 16.0 mM and 0.25 mM, respectively.

The PZT(lead, zirconium, titanium) based ceramics which, are reported to be ferroelectric materials have their important applications in the areas of surface acoustic waves (SAW), filters, infrared detectors, actuators, ferroelectric random acess memory, speakers, electronic switches etc. Moreover, these PZT materials possess the large electromechanical coupling factor, large spontaneous polarization, low dielectric loss and low internal stress etc. Hence, keeping in view the unique properties of PZT piezoelectric ceramics we also tried to synthesize indigenously the small sized PZT ceramic powder in the laboratory by using the modified sol-gel approach. In this paper, Propyl alcohol based sol-gel method was used for preparation of PZT piezoelectric ceramic. The powder obtained by this sol-gel process was calcined and sintering to reach a pyrochlore-free crystal phase. The characterization of synthesized material was carried out by the XRD analysis and the surface morphology was determined by high resolution scanning electron microscopy.

$xTiO_2$-$ySiO_2$ system photocatalysts were developed by sol-gel method based on the change of production parameters, and their structure of crystallization and the specific surface area were measured. Considering the efficiency of the ethanol and phenol degradation using the catalyst, the conclusions were obtained as follows: By means of X-ray analysis of $xTiO_2$-$ySiO_2$ powder that is obtained from Titanium and Silicon alkoxide by sol-gel process, it is shown that crystal structure of anatase type is a dominating structure and, on the other hand, the structure of rutile also partly exists. The increase of $SiO_2$ contents causes the decrease of the degree of crystallization of the gel, whereas the specific surface area preferentially increases. It is shown that more than 90% of ethanol and phenol are degraded when reaction time is about three and an hours, and the maximum degradation rate of ethanol and phenol is shown in $60TiO_2$-$40SiO_2$ catalyst.

연구목적: 본 연구에서는 양극산화 임플란트 표면에 서로 다른 두 가지 방법, Ion beam-assisted deposition (IBAD)법과 Sol-gel법으로 Ca-P 코팅한 임플란트 시편에 골모세포를 배양하였을 때 세포의 증식, 분화, 형태에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지 조사하고자 한다. 연구재료 및 방법: 지름 10 mm, 두께 2 mm 인 상업용 순수 titanium grade IV 재질의 디스크를 제작하였고, 모든 시편은 acetone, 70% ethanol, 증류수에서 각각 10분씩 세척 후 건조하였다. 모든 표면은 300 V의 constant voltage하에서 양극 산화 (anodized)시킨다. 실험군은 양극산화 임플란트 표면에 각각 IBAD법과 Solgel법으로 Ca-P 코팅하였다. 각 표면의 미세표면 거칠기(Ra)를 측정하였고, SEM을 통해 표면의 형상을 관찰하였다. 골모세포을 배양한 후 각 표면군의 세포 증식, ALP 활성도 및 RT-PCR를 통한 골세포 분화 능력 검증을 하였으며, SEM을 통해 세포의 형상도 확인하였다. 통계분석은 SPSS (version 12.0) 프로그램을 이용하여 Kruskal-Wallis Test로 각 군의 유의성을 검증하였다 ($\alpha$=0.05). 결과: IBAD법으로 Ca-P 코팅한 표면이 Sol-gel법으로 Ca-P 코팅한 표면보다 표면 거칠기 (Ra) 값이 더 크게 나타났다 (P<.05). IBAD법으로 Ca-P 코팅한 표면이 Sol-gel법으로 Ca-P 코팅한 표면 보다 세포 증식이 더 활발하고 골세포 조기 분화 정도를 확인 할 수 있는ALP 활성도 또한 더 높게 나타났다 (P<.05). SEM 관찰 결과IBAD법으로 Ca-P 코팅한 표면에 골모세포들이 친화성을 띄면서 안정적으로 부착되었다. 결론: IBAD법으로 Ca-P 코팅한 표면이 Sol-gel법으로 Ca-P 코팅한 표면보다 더 우수한 세포 반응을 보였다. IBAD법으로 Ca-P 코팅한 표면의 세포들은 증식이 잘 이루어지고 잘 분화된 골모세포 형상을 보이고 ALP 활성도 또한 높아 골 형성을 증가시켜 높은 골-임플란트 접촉을 보일 것이다.

Silica films were prepared on Si single crystal substrates by sol-gel process using TEOS as starting materials. Films were fabricated by a spin coating technique. Sol solutions were prepared by varying the compositions of CH3OH, H2O and DMF with fixed molar ratio of TEOS=1, HCl=0.05(mol). Wetting behavior viscosity of solutions gelation time thickness of films and cracking behavior were investigated with the various solution compositions. Wetting behaviors of solutions depended on the solution compositions mixing method and mixing rate. The optimum composition of sol was TEOS : DMF ; CH3OH: H2O :HCl=1:2:4:4:0.05(mol) and the mixing rate of solution was optimized at 1 ml/min. Viscosity of solutions were controlled by choosing a reaction time(elapsed time after mixing) at a room temperature so that we could get up to 800nm thick film The surface roughness was getting poor when thickness of films was thicker than 500nm. Thickness of coated films were increased with decreasing amount of CH3OH. The best surface roughness was obtained at the content of CH3OH 4 mol. The shortest gelation time was obtained with the content of CH3OH 8 mol. Crack-free filkms were fabricated when sintered at 500$^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr with heating rate of 0.6$^{\circ}C$/min.

N-(3-triethoxysilylpropyl)-1,4-diaminoanthrquinone-2,3-dicarboximide (TESP-DADI), an organic blue pigment, has been prepared and incorporated into silica solid matrix reacting triethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) via sol-gel method. Morphology and microstructure of resulting hybrid pigment were studied employing SEM and TEM. The micrographs and particle size distributions showed that uniform pigment can be obtained employing TEOS-based sol-gel method forming silica core. Particle size distribution of dispersed pigment in water was examined using the technique of dynamic light scattering. The ensuing pigment dispersion ink was subjected to various physicochemical evaluation such as viscosity, surface tension, inkjet stability, storage stability, and color change as inkjet ink using spectrophotometric, and microscopic techniques.
