For the purpose of improving the fluidity of enteric-coated powders, various mineral silicates were added during spray drying process. Aqueous slurries of cimetidine, mineral silicates containing CMEC (carboxy methyl ethyl cellulose) were spray dried using a centrifugal wheel atomizer. The finely agglomerated powders obtained by this process were flowing as opposed to the original powders. The effect of four mineral silicates (colloidal silica, talc, bentonite, and kaolin) on the micromeritic properties and dissolution profiles of spray dried agglomerates were examined.

We demonstrate the methodology of engineering the multi-component ceramic nanopowder with precise morphology by nanoblast calcinations decomposition of preliminary engineered nanoreactors. Multiple explosions of just melted $C_3H_6N_6O_6$ embedded into preliminary engineered nanoreactors break apart the agglomerates due to the highly energetic impacts of the blast waves. Also, the solid-solubility of one component into the other is enhanced by the extremely high local temperature generated during each nano-explosion in surrounding area. This methodology was applied for production of agglomeratefree nano-aggregates of $Gd_{20}Ce_{80}O_{1.95}$ with an average size of 42 nm and $LaSrGaMgO_{3-x}$ nanopowder with an average aggregate size of 83 nm.

Three different procedures for adding Pd compounds to $SnO_2$ particles have been investigated. These processes are: (1) coprecipitation; (2) dried powder impregnation; and (3) calcined powder impregnation. The microstructures of $SnO_2$ particles have been analyzed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), Brunauer-Emmett-Teller (BET), scanning electron microscope (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). In the coprecipitaion method, the process does not restrain the growth of $SnO_2$ particles and it forms huge agglomerates. In the dried powder impregnation method, the process restrains the growth of $SnO_2$ particles and the surfaces of the agglomerates have many minute pores. In the calcined powder impregnation method, the process restrains the growth of $SnO_2$ particles further and the agglomerates have a lot more minute pores. The sensitivity ($S=R_{air}/R_{gas}$) of the $SnO_2$ gas sensor made by the calcined powder impregnation process shows the highest value (S = 21.5 at 5350 ppm of $C_3H_8$) and the sensor also indicates the lowest operating temperature of around $410^{\circ}C$. It is believed that the best result is caused by the plenty of minute pores at the surface of the microstructure and by the catalyst Pd that is dispersed at the surface rather than the inside of the agglomerate. Schematic models of Pd distribution in and on the three different $SnO_2$ particles are presented.

콜로이드성 알루미나 분말 입자들의 현탁액에서 입자들의 응집현상을 시뮬레이션 하였다. 현탁액 속의 알루미나 분말 입자들은 입자간 포텐셜 에너지를 가지고 있으며 시간이 경과함에 따라 현탁액으 전체적인 에너지를 감소시키는 방향으로 시스템을 변화시킨다. 현탁액 속의 분말 입자들의 응집 현상을 입자간 포텐셜 곡선의 유형에 따라 관찰하였다. 단거리에서 강한 친화 포텐셜 에너지를 가지는 입자들은 무정형 망목 응집구조를 유도하며 응집체의 크기가 작아지고 단거리에서 강한 척력 포텐셜 에너지와 장거리에서 상대적으로 강한 친화 포텐셜 에너지를 가지는 분말 입자들이 밀집충진 응집구조에 접근하고 응집체의 크기가 상대적으로 커지게 된다. 입자간 에너지 분포에 강한 반발에너지 장벽이 존재하는 경우에 입자들이 응집함에 따라 이러한 에너지는 장벽이 사라지게 되며 이러한 현상은 입자의 응집패턴의 변화를 의미한다.

The morphology, crystal structure and size of aerosol nanoparticles generated by erosion of electrodes made of different materials (titanium, copper and aluminum) in a multi-spark discharge generator were investigated. The aerosol nanoparticle synthesis was carried out in air atmosphere at a capacitor stored energy of 6 J, a repetition rate of discharge of 0.5 Hz and a gas flow velocity of 5.4 m/s. The aerosol nanoparticles were generated in the form of oxides and had various morphologies: agglomerates of primary particles of $TiO_2$ and $Al_2O_3$ or aggregates of primary particles of $Cu_2O$. The average size of the primary nanoparticles ranged between 6.3 and 7.4 nm for the three substances studied. The average size of the agglomerates and aggregates varied in a wide interval from 24.6 nm for $Cu_2O$ to 46.1 nm for $Al_2O_3$.

This study has been performed on the full density sintering of Fe nanopowder and the surface hardening by plasma ion nitriding. The Fe sintered part was fabricated by pressureless sintering of the Fe nanopowder at $700^{\circ}C$ in which the nanopowder agglomerates were controlled to have 0.5-5 ${\mu}m$ sized agglomerates with 150 nm Fe nanopowders. The green compact with 46% theoretical density(T.D.) showed a homogeneous microstructure with fine pores below 1 ${\mu}m$. After sintering, the powder compact underwent full densification process with above 98%T.D. and uniform nanoscale microstructure. This enhanced sintering is thought to be basically due to the homogeneous microstructure in the green compact in which the large pores are removed by wet-milling. Plasma ion nitriding of the sintered part resulted in the formation of ${\gamma}$'-$Fe_4N$ equilibrium phase with about 12 ${\mu}m$ thickness, leading to the surface hardening of the sintered Fe part. The surface hardness was remarkably increased from 176 $H_v$ for the matrix to 365 $H_v$.

Proton exchange membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) are some of the most efficient electrochemical energy sources for transportation applications because of their clean, green, and high efficiency characteristics. The optimization of catalyst layer morphology is considered a feasible approach to achieve high performance of PEMFC membrane electrode assembly (MEA). In this work, we studied the effect of the solvent on the catalyst layer of PEMFC MEAs fabricated using the electrostatic spray deposition method. The catalyst ink comprised of Pt/C, a Nafion ionomer, and a solvent. Two types of solvent were used: isopropyl alcohol (IPA) and dimethylformamide (DMF). Compared with the catalyst layer prepared using IPA-based ink, the catalyst layer prepared with DMF-based ink had a dense structure because the DMF dispersed the Pt/C-Nafion agglomerates smaller and more homogeneously. The size distribution of the agglomerates in catalyst ink was confirmed through Dynamic Light Scattering (DLS) and the microstructure of the catalyst layer was compared using field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). In addition, the electrochemical investigation was performed to evaluate the solvent effect on the fuel cell performance. The catalyst layer prepared with DMF-based ink significantly enhanced the cell performance (1.2 A cm-2 at 0.5 V) compared with that fabricated using IPA-based ink (0.5 A cm-2 at 0.5 V) due to the better dispersion and uniform agglomeration on the catalyst layer.

본 실험은 표준화된 피복종자를 생산하기 위하여 피복통의 회전속도를 20, 30, 40, 45, 55, 60 rpm으로 하여 소형 피복통으로 레드클로버와 톨페스큐 종자를 피복하였다. 고형물질로는 vermiculite를 사용하였고 접착제는 polyvinyl alcohol을 사용하였다. 피복 후 통에서 회수된 단립 피복종자 무게, 서로 달라붙어 덩어리진 피복종자 무게, 피복되지 않고 회수된 미 피복물질 무게, 충격에 의한 피복층 탈락성 및 피복종자의 백립중 등을 조사하여 피복종자의 물리적 특성을 평가하였으며, 이 자료를 근거로 피복효과를 종합적으로 표현하는 피복지수를 산출하였다. 레드클로버 종자는 통의 회전속도 45 rpm에서 회수된 단립 종자 무게가 제일 높았으며(p<0.01), 덩어리진 종자 수가 적고 피복물질의 탈락율이 적었으며, 피복종자의 백립중도 가장 무거웠다. 톨페스큐 종자는 피복통 회전속도 40 rpm에서 회수된 단립 종자 무게가 제일 높았으며(p<0.01), 덩어리진 종자 수가 적고 피복물질의 탈락율이 적었으며, 피복종자의 백립중도 가장 무거웠다. 통의 회전속도별 피복지수는 레드클로버는 45 rpm에서(p<0.01), 톨페스큐는 40 rpm에서 제일 높았다(p<0.01). 피복통의 회전속도는 피복종자의 물리적 성질에 크게 영향을 미치기 때문에 종자피복 전에 종자나 피복제에 따른 피복통 회전속도의 표준화가 필수적이라 하겠다.

본 연구에서는 PAA를 사용한 액상환원법에 의해 은 나노용액을 합성하는 과정에서 실험변수로서 PAA의 분자량, PAA의 첨가량, 환원제, 분산제, 유기용매 등을 사용하여 은 나노입자의 크기와 분산특성을 조사하였다. UV-Visable spectrophotometer로 은 나노입자의 생성을 확인하였으며, SEM으로 nanometer 영역의 입자크기와 분산특성을 알아냈다. 초음파 파쇄시간이 증가할수록 은 나노입자의 덩어리가 작아지는 경향을 나타내며 3시간 이후에는 1-5개의 작은 덩어리 형태로 은 나노입자가 분산되었다. 초음파 파쇄와 함께 Copolymer with pigment affinic group을 주성분으로 하는 분산제인 BYK-192를 첨가해 주면 49.56-85.75 nm의 크기를 가진 비교적 구형에 가까운 균일한 은 나노입자가 균일하게 완전히 분산되는 되었다. PAA의 분자량이 증가할수록 은 나노입자의 평균크기가 36.82<50.66<56.06 nm 순으로 증가하였다. 또한 PAA의 첨가량이 늘어날수록 은 나노입자의 표면에 덧씌움 현상이 일어나서 은 나노입자의 크기가 커지는 것으로 나타났다. 환원제인 Hydrazine을 첨가하면 환원반응에 의해 많은 수의 핵이 생성되었기 때문에 상대적으로 작은 크기의 입자가 생성되었다. 유기용제(에타놀-아세톤)는 은 나노입자의 규칙적 배열을 도와주었다.
