SIS triblock copolymers, one of the major raw materials of oil gelling agent, were synthesized by living anionic polymerization and the resultant copolymers formed with various shapes and sizes were used to examine their oil gelling capacities. Coupling method was adapted to form final triblock products from diblock living polymers. Prior to polymerization, the impurities in monomers and solvents were throughly removed by killing technique. We experimentally investigated the effects of operating parameters of synthesis and forming of SIS triblock copolymers on oil gelling capacity. The photocatalytic decomposition of SIS triblock copolymer under ultraviolet circumstance was also investigated and it is found that the addition of P-25 enhances the photocatalytic decomposition.

염소법과 졸-겔법으로 $TiO_2$ 광촉매 분말을 제조하였다. 제조방법 및 조건에 따라 촉매의 결정상 형태(아나타제와 루타일)와 비표면적이 변화하는 것을 알 수 있었다. TTIP-sol로 제조한 광촉매가 염소법이나 TBOT-sol로 제조한 광촉매에 비해 methylene blue (MB) 분해 특성이 더 높았으며, 수용액상의 90% 이상의 MB를 제거할 수 있었다. 실험 결과를 통해 $TiO_2$ 광촉매는 단일 아나타제상와 큰 비표면적을 가지면 유기물 분해 특성을 향상될 수 있는 것을 확인하였다.

서로 다른 관능기를 가진 카르복시산 화합물을 첨가제로 하여 과산화티탄 수용액으로부터 수열합성법으로 나노 크기의 이산화티탄을 제조하였다. 제조된 나노 크기의 이산화티탄의 물리적 성질을 조사하였으며, 이들을 사용하여 메틸렌블루의 광분해 반응에서의 활성을 조사하였다. 첨가된 카르복시산 화합물에 관계없이 아나타제형 나노 크기의 이산화티탄이 합성되었으며, 소성온도가 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상에서는 아나타제 결정구조가 루틸 결정구조로 변환되기 시작하였다. 광촉매 반응의 활성은 카르복시산의 탄소수가 커질수록 증가하였으며, 숙신산을 첨가제로 한 경우와 $500^{\circ}C$에서 소성시킨 경우에 가장 높은 활성을 보여주었다.

수처리에 있어서 분말 $TiO_2$ 광촉매가 안고 있는 문제점을 극복하기 위하여 스테인리스 강 섬유를 지지체로 한 $TiO_2$ 담지 광촉매($TiO_2/SSF$)를 제조하였다. 초음파 세척기를 이용하여 담지된 $TiO_2$의 부착강도를 살펴보았으며, 메틸렌블루와 포름산 분해실험을 통하여 광촉매 활성을 평가하였고, 대장균과 비브리오균에 대한 살균실험을 통하여 살균능력을 평가하였다. 담지된 $TiO_2$는 30 min간의 초음파 처리 후에도 95% 이상이 남아 있을 정도로 강한 부착력을 보였으며, UV 하에서 60%의 메틸렌블루와 38%의 포름산을 1 h 만에 각각 분해시키는 광촉매 활성을 보였고, 대장균과 비브리오균에 대하여 99.9% 이상의 높은 살균능력을 보였다. 포름산 분해의 경우에는 산화제를 첨가하면 분해율이 증가하였으며, 특히 과산화수소를 첨가할 경우에는 분해율이 1 h 만에 80%로 증가하였다.

폐수내에 용해되어 있는 유독성 유기물질의 분해처리를 위한 태양반응기 실용화에 대한 기본 및 응용연구를 실시하였다. 광촉매로는 0.1wt%의 Degussa P25 Titanium dioxide($TiO_2$)를 사용하여 TCE, chloroform 그리고 $CCl_4$들의 단일성분은 물론 TCE-chloroform, TCE-phenol, TCE-benzene 등의 이성분계 수용액에 대한 실험을 실시하였다. 일차적으로 원액의 반응기로의 적정유량을 조사하였으며, 각 2차성분들이 TCE의 분해율에 미치는 영향을 관찰하였다. 본 실험 조건하에서 최적의 공급유속은 약 $200cm^3/min$이었으며, 각 2차 성분들은 공통적으로 TCE 분해율을 저하시키고 있으나 적절한 분해조건의 확보시 다성분계의 폐수처리에도 광분해반응의 처리는 기술적으로 타당함을 알 수 있었다. TCE-phenol의 이성분 용액의 경우 $H_2O_2$의 TCE 분해에 미치는 영향을 조사한 견과 0.06vol%의 $H_2O_2$ 첨가로 TCE의 분해율이 증가함을 알 수 있었다.

Zinc oxide (ZnO) is a direct band gap semiconductor with 3.37 eV, which has in a hexagonal wurtzite structure. ZnO is a good candidate for a photocatalyst because it has physical and chemical stability, high oxidative properties, and absorbs of ultraviolet light. During ZnO is irradiated by UV light, redox (reduction and oxidation) reactions will occur on the ZnO surface, generating the radicals O2- and OH. These two powerful oxidizing agents have been proven to be effective in decomposition of harmful organic materials, converting them into CO2 and H2O. Therefore, we assume that oxygen on the surface of ZnO is a very important factor in the photocatalytic activities of ZnO nanoparticles. Recently, ZnO nanoparticles are studied in various application fields by many researchers. Photocatalyst research is progressing much in various application fields. But the ZnO nanoparticles have disadvantage that is unstable in water in comparison titanium dioxide (TiO2). The Zn(OH)2 was formed at the ZnO surface and ZnO become inactive as a photocatalyst when ZnO is present in the solution. Therefore, we prepared synthesized ZnO nanoaprticles that were immersed in the water and dried in the oven. After that, we measured photocatalytic activities of prepared samples and find the cause of their phtocatalytic activity changes. The characterization of ZnO nanoparticles were analyzed by Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD) and BET test. Also we defined the photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanoparticles using UV-VIS Spectroscopy. And we explained changing of photocatalytic activity after the water treatment using X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy (XPS).

Nanocrystalline Zn$Fe_2O_4$ oxide-semiconductor with spinel structure was synthesized by the polymerized complex (PC) method and investigated for its photocatalytic and photoelectric properties. The observation of a highly pure phase and a lower crystallization temperature in Zn$Fe_2O_4$ made by PC method is in total contrast to that was observed in Zn$Fe_2O_4$ prepared by the conventional solid-state reaction (SSR) method. The band gap of the nanocrystalline Zn$Fe_2O_4$ determined by UV-DRS was 1.90 eV (653 nm). The photocatalytic activity of Zn$Fe_2O_4$ prepared by PC method as investigated by the photo-decomposition of isopropyl alcohol (IPA) under visible light (${\geq}$ 420 nm) was much higher than that of the Zn$Fe_2O_4$ prepared by SSR as well as Ti$O_{2-x}N_x$. High photocatalytic activity of Zn$Fe_2O_4$ prepared by PC method was mainly due to its surface area, crystallinity and the dispersity of platinum metal over Zn$Fe_2O_4$.

Zinc oxide is metal oxide semiconductor with the 3.37 eV bandgap energy. Zinc oxide is very attractive materials for many application fields. Zinc Oxide has many advantages such as high conductivity and good transmittance in visible region. Also it is cheaper than other semiconductor materials such as indium tin oxide (ITO). Therefore, ZnO is alternative material for ITO. ZnO is attracting attention for its application to transparent conductive oxide (TCO) films, surface acoustic wave (SAW), films bulk acoustic resonator (FBAR), piezoelectric materials, gas-sensing, solar cells and photocatalyst. In this study, we synthesized ZnO nanoparticles and defined their physical and chemical properties. Also we studied about the application of ZnO nanoparticles as a photocatalyst and try to find a enhancement photocatalytic activity of ZnO nanorticles.. We synthesized ZnO nanoparticles using spray-pyrolysis method and defined the physical and optical properties of ZnO nanoparticles in experiment I. When the ZnO are exposed to UV light, reduction and oxidation(REDOX) reaction will occur on the ZnO surface and generate ${O_2}^-$ and OH radicals. These powerful oxidizing agents are proven to be effective in decomposition of the harmful organic materials and convert them into $CO_2$ and $H_2O$. Therefore, we investigated that the photocatalytic activity was increased through the surface modification of synthesized ZnO nanoparticles. In experiment II, we studied on the stability of ZnO nanoparticles in water. It is well known that ZnO is unstable in water in comparison with $TiO_2$. $Zn(OH)_2$ was formed at the ZnO surface and ZnO become inactive as a photocatalyst when ZnO is present in the solution. Therefore, we prepared synthesized ZnO nanoparticles that were immersed in the water and dried in the oven. After that, we measured photocatalytic activities of prepared samples and find the cause of their photocatalytic activity changes.
