We propose a reflector-type perfect absorber with double absorption lines using electric and magnetic dipoles of Mie resonances in an array of silicon nanospheres on a silver substrate. In the visible range, hundreds of nanometer-sized nanospheres show strong absorption lines up to 99%, which are enhanced by the interference between Mie scattering and reflections from the silver substrate. The air gap distance between the silicon particles and silver substrate controls this interference, and the absorption wavelengths can be controlled by adjusting the diameter of the silicon particles over the entire range of visible wavelengths. Additionally, our structure has a filling factor of 0.322 when the absorbance is nearly 100%.

Nanofluid is a novel heat transfer fluid prepared by dispersing nanometer-sized solid particles in traditional heat transfer fluid to increase thermal conductivity and heat transfer performance. In this research we have considered the rheological properties of nanofluids made of CuO particles of 10-30nm in length and ethylene glycol in conjunction with the thermal conductivity enhancement. When examined using TEM, individual CuO particles have the shape of prolate spheroid of the aspect ratio of 3 and most of the particles are under aggregated states even after sonication for a prolonged period. From the rheological property it has been found that the volume fraction at the dilute limit is 0.002, which is much smaller than the value based on the shape and size of individual particles due to aggregation of particles. At the semi-dilute regime, the zero shear viscosity follows the Doi-Edwards theory on rodlike particles. The thermal conductivity measurement shows that substantial enhancement in thermal conductivity with respect to particle concentration is attainable only when particle concentration is below the dilute limit.

자발착화연소법과 분무열분해법을 동시에 적용한 초음파분무연소법을 이용하여 40~50nm 크기를 갖는 결정성 ZnO 분말을 합성하였다. 또한 바리스터로의 응용을 위해 Bi, Sb, Co, Mn을 초기출발원료인 Zn-nitrate에 첨가하여 복합조성의 ZnO계 바리스터 분말을 합성하였다. 합성된 바리스터의 분말을 성형 및 소결하여 전기적 특성을 관찰한 결과 Co를 첨가한 분말보다 Mn을 첨가한 분말에서 우수한 전기적 특성을 나타내었다.

Ultra-fine grained and dispersion-strengthened titanium materials (Ti-Si, Ti-C, Ti-Si-C) have been produced by high energy ball milling and spark plasma sintering (SPS). Silicon or/and carbon were milled together with the titanium powder to form nanometer-sized and homogeneously distributed titanium silicides or/and carbides as dispersoids, that should prevent grain coarsening during the SPS compaction and contribute to strengthening of the material. The microstructures and the mechanical properties showed that strength, hardness and wear resistance of the sintered materials have been significantly improved by the mechanisms of grain refinement and dispersion strengthening. The use of an organic fluid as carrier of the dispersoid forming elements caused a significant increase in ductility.

Nanofluids are that metallic or nonmetallic nanometer-sized particles are dispersed in liquid. They can be used in various fields to increase the heat transfer rate because the thermal conductivity of nanofluids can be increased significantly. Nanofluids may be used as a good alternative of coolants in spray cooling. This study conducted experiments to compare the characteristics of sprays between water and nanofluid sprays. The radial distributions of droplet velocities and diameters of water, 0.2% wt.(weight), and 0.5% wt. $Al_2O_3$ nanofluids at the pressure of 0.2 and 0.3 MPa were measured by laser doppler instruments. The radial distributions of droplet diameters and velocities at two axial positions with water and 0.2% wt. nanofluid sprays didn't show much difference. A big difference, however, was observed between 0.5% wt. nanofluid and water sprays. With the increase of the mass of nano-particles, the average droplet diameters were increased and the average droplet velocities were decreased.

Imogolite which has chemical composition, $(HO)_3Al_2O_3SiOH$, was synthesized with orthosilicate acid and aluminium chloride at low pH solution. It has extremely large aspect ratio with an external diameter of 2nm and the length of a few micrometers. The high aspect ratio of the imogolite could make the material as the filler for the high strength fiber and as the wire for the electronic applications. Here, Imogolite that derives considerable microporosity from a nanometer-sized tubular structure has been modified with a conducting polymer, polypyrrole. Its bonding and wiring structure were confirmed by IR and TEM. The measured conductivity after modification with polypyrrole increased with polypyrrole thickness at various voltage conditions.

Ti-Zr-Ni coatings deposited by low vacuum plasma spray technique consisted of nanometer-sized $W-Ti_{50}Zr_{35}Ni_{15}$ 1/1 cubic approximant and TiZrNi Laves phases as well as a low volume fraction of $ZrO_2$ phase. The shift of composition during deposition of the quasicrystalline powders and the presence of $ZrO_2$ phases are believed to be responsible for the reduced corrosion performances evaluated by means of electrochemical tests in a Hanks' Balance Salt Solution at $37^{\circ}C$.

Block copolymers that two or more polymer chains are covalently linked have drawn much attention due to self-assembly into nanometer-sized morphology such as lamellae, cylinders, spheres, and gyroids. In this article, we first summarize the phase behavior of block copolymers in bulk and thin films and some applications for new functional nanomaterials. Then, future perspectives on block copolymers are described.

The development of reliable synthetic routes to polymer nanomaterials with well-defined size and morphology is a critical research topic in contemporary materials science. The ability to generate nanometer-sized polymer materials can offer unprecedented, interesting insights into the physical and chemical properties of the corresponding materials. In addition, control over shape and geometry of polymer nanoparticles affords versatile polymer nanostructures, encompassing nanospheres, core-shell nanoparticles, hollow nanoparticles, nanorods/fibers, nanotubes, and nanoporous materials. This review summarizes a diverse range of synthetic methods (broadly, hard template synthesis, soft template synthesis, and template-free synthesis) for fabricating polymer nanomaterials. The basic concepts and significant issues with respect to the synthetic strategies and tools are briefly introduced, and the examples of some of the outstanding research are highlighted. Our aim is to present a comprehensive review of research activities that concentrate on fabrication of various kinds of polymer nanoparticles.

The production of high quality oil to meet new standard needs a 'next generation' innovative oil refining tool in paradigm shift. 'Nanoneutralization' using controlled hydrodynamic cavitation-assisted Nanoreactor is successfully being introduced and commercialized into edible oil industry and it plays a key driver for sustainable development of food processing. This emerging technology using bubble dynamics as a consequence of Bernoulli's principle by hydrodynamic cavitation in Venturi-designed multi-flow through cell is radically changing the conventionally chemical-oriented neutralization. Nanoneutralization derived by the creation of nanometer-sized bubbles formed through scientifically structured geometric channels under high pressure has been proven to improve mass transfer and reaction rate so substantially reduce the chemicals required for refined vegetable oil and to increase oil yield while even improving oil quality. More researches on science behind this revolutionary technology will help usto better understand the principle and process hence makes its potential applications expandable in extraction, refining and modification of fats and oils processing.
