Monodispersed spherical silica-coated ceria nanoparticles were prepared through a sol-gel process using tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) and ceria fine particles. In this process, ceria fine particles were also prepared from cerium nitrate. The mean size of ceria particles was 300nm. Silica nanoparticles with narrow particle size distribution were prepared by controlled hydrolysis of TEOS solution. The silica sols were obtained by peptization, the process of redispersing a coagulated colloid, and were coated on ceria particles by the control of the weight ratio of silica/ceria and the pH of the mixture in aqueous solution. The morphologies of particles were characterized with scaning electron microscopy(SEM), transmission electron microscopy(TEM) and atomic force microscopy(AFM). The coating thickness of silica particles obtained by using this method was controlled in the range of 30 - 70nm.

본 연구에서 NaOH, Acetic acid, Silane 처리는 천연섬유와 matrix간의 계면 결합에 불리하게 작용하는 wax, lignin, hemicellose 등을 제거하기 위한 방법 중의 하나이다. 이러한 화학적 처리에 따른 왕겨 분말의 기계적 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. Scaning electron microscopy(SEM)으로 관찰한 표면의 상태가 NaOH, Acetic acid, Silane 처리를 하였던 왕겨 분말이 처리를 하지 않았던 왕겨 분말보다 비교적 깨끗해지고, 크랙이 발생함을 확인하였다. 또한 전처리가 된 상태에서 PP와 20, 30, 40%의 비율로 복합재를 제조하여 Universal Testing Machine(UTM)으로 인장강도, 굴곡강도, 굴곡탄성률을 측정하였다. 또한, 왕겨의 입도 사이즈에 따라서 어떻게 변화되는지 알아보았다.

In this paper we investigated the relation between the surface degradations and anti-pollution characteristics of Room Temperature Vulcanized(RTV) silicone rubber coating that has different roughness through immersing into saline water. We utilized several analytic techniques such as atomic force microscopy(AFM) scaning electron microscopy(SEM) contact angle Salt Deposit Density(SDD) and average leakage current under the condition of salt fog. It is found that the surface roughness of treated RTV silicone rubber increased and the hydrophobicity of sample surface decreased with increasing the duration o immersion into water due to the erosion of base polymer the melting down alumina trihydrate(ATH) and the diffusion of Low Molecular weight(LMW) fluid. Despite the roughness of surface had been increased by water immersion excellant anti-pollution and recovery characteristics were maintained and SDD saturated to 0.1~0.14mg/cm$^2$. The average leakage current under salt fog increased with surface roughness. Measurement of average leakage current will be helpful to investigate surface degradation and lifetime expectation of RTV silicone coating.

This study was performed to develop an antibacterial film that can be dried at room temperature. A nanosized TiO$_2$ particle-dispersed solution was prepared by the hydrothermal treatment of peroxo-titanic acid at 160${^{\circ}C}$ for 4h. The binder was synthesized through the hydrolysis and condensation reactions of TEOS (10cc) and GPTS (3.5cc) in the mixture of H$_2$O (30cc) and EtOH (30cc). The synthesized binder was mixed with 0.1 M of TiO$_2$ solution in a volume ratio of binder/TiO$_2$ solution=0.25~0.5. The glass substrate was coated after using the dip coating method, which was then followed by drying for over 2h at room temperature. Although the TiO$_2$ particles did not chemically-bond to the binder, the coating layer strongly adhered to the substrate and displayed good antibacterial properties.

YMnO$_3$ films are excellent gate dielectric materials of ferroelectric random access memories (FRAMs) with MFSFET (metal -ferroelectric-semiconductor field effect transistor) structure because YMnO$_3$ films can be deposited directly on Si substrate and have a relatively low permittivity. Although the patterning of YMnO$_3$ thin films is the requisite for the fabrication of FRAMs, the etch mechanism of YMnO$_3$ thin films has not been reported. In this study, YMnO$_3$thin films were etched with Cl$_2$/Ar gas chemistries in inductively coupled plasma (ICP). The maximum etch rate of YMnO$_3$ film is 285$\AA$/min under Cl$_2$/(Cl$_2$+Ar) of 1.0, RF power of 600 W, dc-bias voltage of -200V, chamber pressure of 15 mTorr and substrate temperature of $25^{\circ}C$. The selectivities of YMnO$_3$ over CeO$_2$ and $Y_2$O$_3$ are 2.85, 1.72, respectively. The selectivities of YMnO$_3$ over PR and Pt are quite low. Chemical reaction in surface of the etched YMnO$_3$ thin films was investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) surface of the selected YMnO$_3$ thin films was investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS) and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The etch profile was also investigated by scaning electron microscopy(SEM)

Single-crystalline InSb nanowire was synthesized on $SiO_2$ wafer via vapor-liquid-solid (VLS) mechanism using chemical vapor deposition method. According to the source container system (open or close) which contain InSb powder and $SiO_2$ wafer, the single-crystalline InSb nanowires have different growth mechanisms. Structural characterization of the InSb nanowires was examined by scanning electron microscope (SEM). Composition of the nanowires was investigated using x-ray diffraction (XRD) and energy dispersive x-ray spectroscopy (EDS). This study demonstrates that length and diameter of the InSb nanowires are long and thick using open-boat system by VLS and additional vapor-solid (VS) mechanisms, because open-boat system can carry a large amount of vapor-phase InSb precursor than close-boat system.

$LiCoO_2$ thin film have received attention as cathodes of thin-film microbatteries. In this study, $LiCoO_2$ thin films were synthesized on Au substrates by sol-gel spin coating method and electrochemical properties were investigated under annealing temperature and time. The phycochemical properties of $LiCoO_2$ thin film were investigated by X-ray diffraction, scaning electron microscopy and atomic force microscopy. The electrochemical properties were characterized using galvanostatic charging/discharging cycling tests. From X-ray diffraction, as-grown films annealed at $550^{\circ}C$ and $750^{\circ}C$ are presumed to be spinel structure and a single phase of the layered-rock-salt, respectively. The RMS roughness and grain size of the films which annealed at $750^{\circ}C$ has similar values for annealing time 10 and 30 min, while for annealing time 120 min surface roughness, grain size increase and pore appearance were observed. The first discharge capacity of $LiCoO_2$ thin films annealed at $750^{\circ}C$ for 10, 30 and 120 min is about 54.5, 56.8 and $51.87{\mu}Ah/cm^2{\mu}m$, respectively. Corresponding capacity retention at 50th cycle is 97.25, 76.69, 77.19%.
