Indium tin oxide (ITO) layers are of considerable interest on account of the combination of properties they provide high electrical conductivity, high infrared reflection with high solar energy transmission, high transmission in the visible range. We are concerned about the variation of the spectral transmittances and sheet resistances as the thickness of SiO2-ZrO2 barrier layer and ITO layers and heat treating conditions are changed. Transmittances and reflectivities were studied by measuring UV-VIS-NIR-, FT-IR spectroscopy. ITO films are crack free, homogeneous and of polycrystalline cubic structure. The microstructure of good ITO films shows a narrow grain size distribution and mean value of 100 nm. The selectivity of absorbing properties is improved by increasing the thickness of ITO films. The increase of sheet resistance of ITO films are due to the increase in the reaction between films and glass substrate.

In synthesizing hydrated zirconia powder by hydrolysis of Zr-alkoxides using ethanol as mutual solvent, three experimental parameters, namely, concentration of alkoxides and hydrolysis water and addition rate of hydrolysis water were varied systematically. Spherical, monodispersed, nonagglomerated and submicrometer sized powders were prepared at 0.3 M of Zr(n-OPr)4 and 0.05M of Zr(n-OBu)4 with wide ranges of hydrolysis water conditions i.e. 0.5-2.0M concentration and 1-20ml/min addition rate. During the hydrolsis, careful attention have to be paid to maintain homogeneous reaction by controlling the agitation of the reactant and the addition of the hydrolysis water. For more improved condition of monodispersity it was found that the key point is to shorten the self-nucleation time within several seconds as rapid as possible. In both alkoxides system, with higher concentration of alkoxide and hydrolysis water and with slow addition rate of hydrolysis water, hydrated zirconia powders synthesized showed tendency to fall in worse powder conditions.

We successfully synthesized $Fe_3O_4/SiO_2$ nanoparticles with ultrathin silica layer of $1.0{\pm}0.5$ nm that was fine controlled by changing concentration of $Fe_3O_4$. Among various reaction conditions for silica coating, increasing concentration of $Fe_3O_4$ was more effective approach to decrease silica thickness compared to water-to-surfactant ratio control. Moreover, we found that concentration of the 1-octanol is also important factor to produce the homogeneous $Fe_3O_4/SiO_2$ nanoparticles. The present approach could be available to apply on preparation of other core/shell nanoparticles with ultrathin silica layer.

The planarized $SiO_2$ particles were prepared by two-step reduction method of making much smaller particles, micron-sized ones, to improve spreadability, adherence, and smoothness. Various pigments known as flaky extender usually have terrace layers on their surfaces, but $SiO_2$ particles in this study exhibit a smooth surface structure. These single $SiO_2$ particles were used as core particles to prepare the composite particles coated with ultra fine $TiO_2$ particles by a homogeneous precipitation method. The thickness and the morphology of the deposited $TiO_2$ layers could be modified by adjusting the reactant concentrations, the reaction time and the temperature. The characteristics of $SiO_2/TiO_2$ composite in the field of color cosmetics are to give an UV-cut effect and to enhance the chroma of human skin color, one of optical properties.

Performance of a steam reformer can be improved by using a coaxial cylindrical reactor, because the design can enhance the heat transfer for the steam reforming reaction, which is the one of main rate-determining steps of overall reactions. The objective of this study is to investigate the coaxial cylindrical reactor numerically. Pseudo-homogeneous model and one medium approach are incorporated for the chemical reactions, and models are validated with experimental results. The catalyst of the coaxial cylindrical reactor is 67% for one of the cylindrical reactor, but fuel conversion of the coaxial cylindrical reactor is increased by 10%. Heat flux profiles are investigated by modified Nusselt number and heat flux which is transported from the product gas to the catalyst bed affecting performance of the steam reformer.

Diesel autothermal reforming has several problems such as carbon deposition in reforming reactor, sulfur poisoning of catalyst, difficulty of aromatics decomposition and mixing problems of reactants(diesel, steam, oxygen). Severe carbon deposition causes the rapid performance degradation of reformer. Carbon deposition is formed from ethylene, carbon precursor. Ethylene was generated at the homogeneous reaction zone of the reactor entrance. This phenomenon is closely linked to the mixing of reactants. In this investigation, we try to minimize the ethylene generation at the reactor entrance atomization technique.

There is a growing demend for absorptive electromagentic shielding materials for wide band frequency application. In this study, the absorber which consists of a rubber plus Ni-Zn ferrite which have been prepared by direct-wet method. A rubber ferrite composite for electromagnetic shielding, it is most importan facter the homogeneous ultra fine size and high dispersitive ferrite powder. Direct-wet method and solid-solid reaction method for preparing of ultra fine ferrite powder was used. It has been experimentally verified that the powder which prepared by direct-wet method was very fine and almost same size spherical powder, the composite ferrite have excellent electromagnetic wave absorption in X-band.

Porous anodic aluminum oxide(AAO) templates prepared by anodizing method were used for growing multiwalled carbon nanotubes(CNTs). AAO templates with the homogeneous pore diameter and length were obtained by two step anodizing technique. Using AAO templates, vertically well-ordered two-dimensional carbon nanotube arrays were fabricated. We investigated the field emission property of CNTs grown using different catalyst metals in vacuum chamber (<$10^{-7}$ Torr) on AAO Template. To explain the different emission property, the surface reaction between catalysts and alumina pores which inserted carbon species of $C_2H_2$ using High resolution transmission electron microscopy (HRTEM) was studied.

The random amplified polymorphic DNA (RAPD) technique was used to characterize 18 reference strains of microalgae, mostly Chlorella species, collected from various localities around Korea peninsular. Eighteen strains consist of four genera of the family marine Chlorella from 12 samples, two genera of fresh water Chlorella from three samples, and three genera on Nannochloris. Twenty 10-mer anonymous primers were screened for amplification of genomic DNA extracted from samples using the CTAB extraction method. Nineteen of these oligonucleotide primers were positive or band producing. Three of 20 random primers (OPA 10, OPA 12, and OPA 18) resulted in both clear band and a high degree of reproducibility and showed some potential to be used to discriminate individual samples of both genetically hetero-and homogeneous populations, in determining phylogenetic relationships between species within a genus and developing individual fingerprints for each samples.

Copper oxide, CuO, are very important components include of high temperature super- conductors, and widely used. The properties of sintered materials were affected by the size and shape of copper oxide with starting materials in the solid-phase reaction. A homogeneous and fine CuO powder was prepared by thermal decomposition of the copper oxalate precursor. Copper oxalate was precipitated by the addition of copper nitrate solution to an oxalic acid solution. The influence of various factors such as temperature, pH, concentration as well as ultrasonic irradiation in the solution were investigated.
