Ethylene-1-butene copolymers were prepared with $SiO_2$-supported $TiCl_4$ catalyst by changing of 1-butene/ethylene molar ratio in feed, and the resulting copolymers were analyzed using temperature rising elution fractionation (TREF) and crystallization fractionation (Crystaf) methods to investigated the influence of $C_4/C_2$ molar ratio in feed on chemical compositional distribution and other parameters such as molecular weight and its distribution. TREF analysis showed that the copolymers had a broad and bimodal chemical compositional distribution (CCD) regardless of the content of 1-butene in the copolymer. The chemical composition was in the range of 5 to 55 branches per 1,000 carbons for all copolymers prepared in the study. Furthermore, the broader CCD was revealed for the copolymers having the higher content of 1-butene. Crystaf analysis did not showed a bimodal CCD for the copolymers having the 1-butene content of less than 5.1 wt%. The lower crytalline part having 1-butene content in Crystaf analysis was less than of TREF analysis.

In this work, transparent conducting Al-doped zinc oxide (AZO) films were prepared on Coming glass substrate by RF magnetron sputtering using an Al-doped ZnO target (Al: 2 wt.%) at room temperature and all films were deposited with athickness of 150 nm. We investigated the effects of the post-annealing temperature and the annealing ambient on structural, electrical and optical properties of AZO films. The films were annealed at temperatures ranging from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$ in steps of $100^{\circ}C$ using rapid thermal annealing equipment in oxygen. The thickness of the film was observed by field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM) and grain size was calculated from the XRD spectra using the Scherrer equation and their electrical properties were investigated using a hole measurement and the reflectance of AZO films was investigated by UV-VIS spectrometry.

1 wt % Ga-dope ZnO (ZnO:Ga) thin films with n-type semiconducting behavior were grown on c-sapphire substrates by radio frequency magnetron sputtering at various growth temperatures. The room temperature grown ZnO:Ga film showed the faint preferred orientation behavior along the c-axis with small domain size and high density of stacking faults, despite limited surface diffusion of the deposited atoms. The increase in the growth temperature in the range between $300\sim550^{\circ}C$ led to the granular shape of epitaxial ZnO:Ga films due to not enough thermal energy and large lattice mismatch. The growth temperature above $550^{\circ}C$ induced the quite flat surface and the simultaneous improvement of electrical carrier concentration and carrier mobility, $6.3\;\times\;10^{18}/cm^3$ and $27\;cm^2/Vs$, respectively. In addition, the increase in the grain size and the decrease in the dislocation density were observed in the high temperature grown films. The low-temperature photoluminescence of the ZnO:Ga films grown below $450^{\circ}C$ showed the redshift of deep-level emission, which was due to the transition from $Zn_j$ to $O_i$ level.

최근 디젤 대체 연료 및 발전용 연료로서 그 가능성을 인정받고 있는 DME(dimethyl ether, $CH_{3}OCH_{3}$)를 이용하여 수소를 생산하는 방법으로 DME 수증기 개질반응의 기초 실험을 수행하였다. DME 개질 반응의 생성물의 평형 조성 분포를 온도, 압력, 원료의 공급비$(H_{2}O/DME)$를 변수로 하여 열역학적으로 해석하였고, DME, 에탄올, 또는 메탄올 수증기 개질 반응의 생성물의 분포를 비교하여 수소 생산을 위한 공급원료로의 가능성을 검토하였다. 여러 종류의 개질 촉매를 사용하여 DME 개질 반응을 수행해 본 결과, 반응온도 $300^{\circ}C$, 반응압력 1atm, 원료 공급비$(H_{2}O/DME)=3$인 반응조건에서 1.0wt% $Pd/{\gamma}$-alumina가 가장 좋은 활성 및 60% 이상의 수소 선택도를 보여주었으, 또한 원료의 공급비가 증가함에 따라 DME의 전환율 및 주 생성물인 수소의 수율이 현저하게 증가함을 보여주었다.

This study is performed to develop the Si$_3$N$_4$ based ceramic inserts. Si$_3$N$_4$with addition of SiC and A1$_2$O$_3$ is investigated to determine the possibility to be a new tool. The tool life of Si$_3$N$_4$ insert with more than 20wt% SiC is shorter than commercial Si$_3$N$_4$ insert during machining both heat treated SCM440 and gray cast iron. Even though SiC has higher hardness than Si$_3$N$_4$, its chemical affinity to the iron on high temperature may causes deteriorat ion of tool life. To the contrary, Si$_3$N$_4$insert with A1$_2$O$_3$ shows increase of tool life up to 300% compared to the commercial Si$_3$N$_4$insert. It may attribute to the high temperature stability of A1$_2$O$_3$. Further study will be focused on the optimization of ceramic inserts with the composition of Si$_3$N$_4$and A1$_2$O$_3$.

In this study, the characteristics of multi-walled carbon nanotubes added nanofluid were investigated. Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate, SDS, and Polyvinylpyrrolidone, PVP, were employed as the dispersant. SDS or PVP was added in pure water. And then, 0.0005, 0.001, 0.002, 0.003. 0.004, 0.005,0.01, and 0.02 vol% of CM-95 and CM-100 were dispersed respectively. The thermal conductivity and the viscosity were measured with a transient hot-wire instrument built for this study and the DV II+ Pro viscometer. The results showed that PVP had good thermal conductivity at 300 wt% and the thermal conductivity of CM-100 was better than that of CM-95. However, the viscosity of CM 100 was higher than that of CM 95.

In this paper, the flexible piezoelectric nanocomposite generator(NCG) device based on $BaTiO_3$ nanostructures was fabricated via simple and low-cost spin coating method. The $BaTiO_3$ nanostructures synthesized by self-assembly reaction showed dendrite morphologies. To produce the piezoelectric nanocomposite(p-NC layer) which acts as an electric energy source in NCG device, the piezoelectric nanopowders($BaTiO_3$) were dispersed in polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS). Sequently, the p-NC layer was inserted in two dielectric layer of PDMS; these layers enabled the NCG device flexibility as well as durability prohibiting detachment(exfoliation) for significantly mechanical bending motions. The fabricated NCG device shows average maximum open circuit voltage of 6.2 V and average maximum current signals of 300 nA at 20 wt% composition of $BaTiO_3$ nanostructures in p-NC layer. Finally, the flexible energy harvester generates stable output signals at any rate of frequency which were used to operate LCD device without any external energy supply.

3-D shape soft magnetic composite parts can be formed by general compaction method of powder metallurgy. In this study, the results on the high density nanostructured Fe-Si/Fe composite prepared by a warm compaction method were presented. Ball-milled Fe-25 wt.%Si powder, pure Fe powder and Si-polymer were mixed and then the powder mixture was compacted at various temperatures and pressures. Pore free density of samples up to 95% theoretical value has been obtained. The warm compacted sample prepared at 650 MPa and 240$^{\circ}C$ had highest compaction properties in comparison with other compacts prepared at 300, 400 MPa and room temperature and 120$^{\circ}C$. The magnetic properties such as core loss, magnetization saturation and coercivity were measured by B-H curve analyzer and vibration sample magnetometer.

The photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue(MB) was investigated using $TiO_2$ as photocatalyst and UV radiation. $TiO_2$ supported with activated carbon(AC) was prepared by SOL-GEL method and depended on several parameters such as the mass ratio of $TiO_2/AC$, pH and experimental time. The presence of the anatase and rutile crystal phase was determined by XRD analyses of the prepared $TiO_2$. The degradation of MB with $TiO_2/AC$ was about 20% higher than that of AC alone. A variation of photodegradation was negligible under UV radiation conditions ( ${\geq}$ 40W). It was experimentally showed that the photodegradation rate was increased with increasing the amount of photocatalyst. The optimal catalyst was prepared by impregmation of $5wt%-TiO_2$ with AC and was calcined at $300^{\circ}C$, and showed about 99% removal efficiency for 3hrs.
