Colloidal particles consisted of individual nanosized magnetite grains on the surface of the silica cores were obtained by two-stage sol-gel technique. Size distribution and microstructure of the particles were analyzed using atomic force microscopy, X-ray diffraction and Nitrogen thermal desorption. Magnetic properties of the particles were studied by the method of the longitudinal nonlinear response. It has been shown that nanoparticles of magnetite have a size corresponding to a superparamagnetic state but exhibit hysteresis properties. The phenomenon was explained using the magnetostatic interaction model based on the hypothesis of iron oxide particles cluster aggregation on the silica surface.

Barium titanate nanoparticles were synthesized under N$_2$ atmosphere by the hydrolysis and condensation of barium hydroxide octahydrate and titanium (IV) isopropoxide. The synthesized particles were aggregates of nanosized primary particles. The primary particles of about 20-50 nm in diameter became building blocks of larger secondary particles, which are in most cases spherical in shape. The size and morphological evolution of secondary particles are strongly related to the precursor concentration. The observations suggest that formation and control of secondary particles is an essential step in the alkoxidehydroxide sol-precipitation process to obtain monodispersed barium titanate nanopowders.

Ultra-fine zirconium carbide (ZrC) powder with nano-sized primary particles was synthesized by the carbothermal reduction method by using nano-sized $ZrO_2$ and nano-sized graphite powders mixture. The synthesized ZrC powder was well dispersed after simple milling process. After heat-treatment at $1500^{\circ}C$ for 2 h under vacuum, ultra-fine ZrC powder agglomerates (average size, $4.2{\mu}m$) were facilely obtained with rounded particle shape and particle size of ~200 nm. Ultra-fine ZrC powder with an average particle size of 316 nm was obtained after ball milling process in a planetary mill for 30 minutes from the agglomerated ZrC powder.

Nanosized $Mn_xFe_2O_4$ powders were prepared in ethylene glycol solution under mild temperature and pressure conditions by precipitation from metal nitrates with aqueous potassium hydroxide. The average size and distribution of the synthesized $Mn_xFe_2O_4$ powders was about 20 nm and broad, respectively. The phase of synthesized particles was crystalline reacted at 200${\circ}C$ for 6h. The magnetic properties of the synthesized $Mn_xFe_2O_4$ powders were about 35-60 (emu/g) with superparamagnetic character.

화학기상응축법을 이용한 TiO2 나노분말합성시 전구체 주입속도 및 산소 반응기체유량의 변화에 따른 나노입자의 형성과정을 분말특성의 관점에서 조사하였다. 기상합성반응의 주요 열역학, 동역학적 인자인 과포화도, 충돌율, 체류시간의 상기 두 공정변수에 대한 의존성을 이론적으로 평가하였고, 이를 0.376, 0.742 m//min의 두 전구체 주입속도 조건에서 산소유량을 1에서 2slm까지 변화시키며 합성한 TiO2 나노분말의 특성과 관련하여 분석하였다 모든 조건에서 합성된 TiO2 분말은 20~30 nm의 크기를 갖는 미세한 anatase 상과 극소량의 rutilc상이 혼합되어 서로 느슨한 결합을 하고 있었다 전구체 주입속도가 0.376m//min의 경우, 전반적인 입도와 응집도는 0.742 m//min에 비해 작았으며, 산소유량이 증가할수록 체류시간과 충돌율이 감소하여 형성된 TiO2 분말의 입도는 감소하였다. 또한 산소유량 증가에 따른 과포화도의 감소는 분말형성과정과 기구에 영향을 미치는 것으로 판단되나, 정확한 분석을 위해서는 각각의 독립적인 열역학 및 동역학적 변수 조건하에서의 면밀한 고찰이 요구되었다.

Size effects of rice product powders on physical properties including suspension stability were investigated in this study. Endosperm, bran, and husk powders of rice with different size particles were prepared using the pin crusher or the ultrafine air mill. The physical properties of the powders were examined using particle size analysis, scanning electron microscopy, and spectrophotometry. The peak of the volume-weighted particle distribution of ultrafine endosperm particles was at $5.4\;{\mu}m$ whereas those of the bran and the husk appeared at 65 and $35\;{\mu}m$, respectively. Ultrafine particles of the endosperm and the husks dispersed better than larger-sized particles. As time elapsed, the dispersibility decreased, but the ultrafine particles were precipitated at the slowest rate. Our results suggest that ultrafine particles, including future nanosized particles, provide improved solubility and dispersibility resulting in better stability in the food colloidal suspension.

The Fe-based self-fluxing alloy powders and TiC particles were ball-milled and subsequently compacted and sintered at various temperatures, resulting in the TiC particle-reinforced Fe self-fluxing alloy hybrid composite, and the microstructure and micro-hardness were investigated. The initial Fe-based self-fluxing alloy powders and TiC particles showed the spherical shape with a mean size of approximately 80 ${\mu}m$ and the irregular shape of less than 5 ${\mu}m$, respectively. After ball-milling at 800 rpm for 5 h, the powder mixture of Fe-based self-fluxing alloy powders and TiC particles formed into the agglomerated powders with the size of approximately 10 ${\mu}m$ that was composed of the nanosized TiC particles and nano-sized alloy particles. The TiC particle-reinforced Fe-based self-fluxing alloy hybrid composite sintered at 1173 K revealed a much denser microstructure and higher micro-hardness than that sintered at 1073 K and 1273 K.

Titania particles are widely used as a photocatalyst to treat various contaminants in air and water. Titania particles were formed by vapor-phase oxidation of titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) in a tube furnace between 773 and 1,273 K. The effect of process variables such as furnace temperature, flow rate of carrier air, and flow rate of sheath air on powder size and phase characteristics was investigated using a scanning mobility particle sizer (SMPS), transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). The size distribution of synthesized titania particles was characterized with mode diameter and peak concentration. The mode diameter ranging from 20 to 80 nm decreased with increasing flow rates of sheath air and carrier air, and increased with increasing furnace temperature. The peak concentration increased with increasing flow rates of sheath air and carrier air The best synthetic condition for high production rate can be derived from the experimental data set represented by mode diameter and peak concentration. The crystal structure of synthesized titania particles was found to be anatase phase, ensuring high photocatalytic potential.

The sol-gel method is the simplest method for synthesizing monodispersed silica particles. The purpose of this study is to synthesize uniform, monodisperse spherical silica nanoparticles using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) as the silica precursor, ethanol, and deionized water in the presence of ammonia as a catalyst. The reaction time and temperature and the concentration of the reactants are controlled to investigate the effect of the reaction parameters on the size of the synthesized particles. The size and morphology of the obtained silica particles are investigated using transmission electron microscopy and particle size analysis. The results show that monodispersed silica particles over a size range of 54-504 nm are successfully synthesized by the sol-gel method without using any additional process. The nanosized silica particles can be synthesized at higher TEOS/$H_2O$ ratios, lower ammonia concentrations, and especially, higher reaction temperatures.
