In this study, an Ag-polyaniline-silica (Ag-PANI-silica) nanoparticle was evaluated as a radioisotope carrier. An Ag-PANI-silica nanoparticle was incubated in the $^{125}I$ solution for a duration of 24 hr to test its radioisotope absorptivity. During the incubation, radioactivity of the nanoparticle was measured at 3, 6, 12, and 24 hr. After a 24 hr incubation, $^{125}I$-Ag-PANI-silica nanoparticle was incubated in a fresh saline for a duration of 48 hr to check its stability. Additionally, the $^{125}I$-Ag-PANI-silica nanoparticle was injected to the ICR mouse to investigate its in-vivo distribution characteristics. The $^{125}I$ absorption yield of the Ag-PANI-silica nanoparticle was higher than 95% after a 6 hr incubation period in the $^{125}I$ solution. And $^{125}I$-Ag-PANI-silica was stable for 48 hr at 80% yield at room temperature. The SPECT/CT image of a mouse that received $^{125}I$-Ag-PANI-silica complex showed that the $^{125}I$-Ag-PANI-silica complex was distributed in the lung, stomach and thyroid at 30 min post injection. From these results, the Ag-PANI-silica nanoparticle has good radio-iodine carrying property and can be applicable for the purpose of diagnosis and therapy.

We added surface-modified silica nanoparticles to poly(ethylene 2,6-naphthalate) (PEN) to investigate their effect on the mechanical properties on the PEN nanocomposite material. The torque and total torque values of the composites decreased in the silica nanoparticle composites. The tensile modulus of the composites reinforced with unmodified silica nanoparticles increased upon increasing the silica content, while the tensile strength and elongation decreased accordingly. In contrast, stearic acid-modified, silica nanoparticle reinforced PEN composites exhibited an increase in elongation and a decrease in tensile modulus upon addition of the silica nanoparticles because the stearic acid that had adsorbed onto the surface of the silica nanoparticle in multilayers could act as a plasticizer during melt compounding. Stearic acid modification had a small effect on the crystallization behavior of the composites. We calculated theoretical values of the tensile modulus using the Einstein, Kerner, and Nielsen equations and compared these values with the experimental data obtained from the composites. The parameters calculated using the Nielsen equation and the Nicolais- Narkis model revealed that the interfacial adhesion between silica nanoparticles and the PEN matrix could be improved.

가시광선 중합형의 고분자계 치아수복재의 고기능화를 위해 충전제로 사용된 친수성의 실리카 나노입자 표면을 $\gamma$-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane ($\gamma$-MPS) 결합제로 소수성 처리하여 치아수복용 고분자 복합체를 제조하였다. 처리된 실리카의 구조적 물성과 복합체 내에서의 분산도 및 복합체의 중합 특성 등을 실리카의 소수화도와 비교하여 고찰하였다. 그 결과, 사용된 $\gamma$-MPS의 양이 40 wt%까지 증가함에 따라 실리카의 소수화도가 증가하였으며 그 이상에서는 큰 변화가 없었다. 또한 소수화도가 향상됨에 따라 복합체 내에서의 충전제 분산도가 양호하였으며 광중합 후 미반응 단량체는 핵자기공명 분석 결과 거의 남아 있지 않아 중합 특성이 우수함을 확인하였다.

The magnetic ferrite nanoparticles were synthesized and coated by silica precursor in controlling the coating thicknesses and sizeses. The surface modification was performed with amino-functionalized organic silanes on silica coated magnetic nanoparticles. The use of functionalized self-assembled magnetic ferrite nanoparticles for nucleic acid separation process give a lot of advantages rather than the conventional silica based process.

Composite nanoparticles of silica-polyaniline were synthesized and tested as an electrochromic material. For the optical application, the size of the nanoparticle was intended to be less than 100 nm in diameter. The synthesis was done by using a microemulsion synthesis method where the silica-polyaniline composite nanoparticle was obtained by dispersing two acidic aqueous phases containing aniline and polymerization agent, respectively. Microstructure analysis such as TEM and BET surface area measurement showed the possibility that polyaniline is incorporated in porous silica structure. The composite structure of the particle was proved to enhance chemical stability of the prepared electrochromic film.

Nanotechnology has become one of the fastest developing technologies and recently applied to a variety of industries. Thus, increasing number of nano materials including various nanoparticles would be discharged into wastewater and consequently entering a biological wastewater treatment process. However, the impact of the nano particles on biological wastewater treatment has not been estimated intensively. In this research, we investigated the effect of silica nanoparticle on the oxygen uptake rates (OURs) of activated sludge used in a conventional wastewater treatment process. The inhibition (%) values were estimated from the results of OURs experiments for the silica nanoparticles with various sizes of 10-15, 45-50, and 70-100 nm and concentrations of 50, 250, and 500 ppm. As results, the inhibition value was increased as the size of silica nano particles decreased and the injected concentration increased. The maximum inhibition value was investigated as 37.4 % for the silica nanoparticles with the size of 45-50 nm and concentration of 50 ppm. Additionally, the effect of size and concentration on the inhibition should be considered cautiously in case that the aggregation of particles occurred seriously so that the size of individual particles was increased in aquatic solution.

The rejection properties and flux rates of silica nanoparticles in ultrafiltration membranes has been investigated. Cross-flow permeation experiments were conducted using polycarbonate track-etch flat membranes with pore sizes of 30 and 50 nm, and a silica nanoparticle solute with particle sizes of 5 and 18 nm with narrow size distributions. The fluxes and rejection factors were investigated at various particle concentrations, cross-flow velocities, pH, and ionic strengths of solution. Even though the size of the silica nanoparticles was much smaller than that of the membrane pores, the observed rejection rates were very high compared with those for a similar-sized polymer (dextran). The observed rejection rate decreased with increasing ionic strength, which implies that the transport mechanism of the silica nanoparticles is significantly influenced by electrostatic repulsion between particles and membranes.

두 단계 에멀젼 중합을 통해 PBA/PS 코어-셸 고분자 나노입자 및 실리카가 함유된 유기-무기 하이브리드 재료를 합성하였다. 실리카 나노입자는 코어-셸 고분자 에멀젼과 혼합되어 $Na_2CO_3$가 녹아있는 증류수/메탄올의 혼합용매에 침전되었다. 건조 후 압축성형으로 제조된 시편의 물성평가를 통해 탄성계수는 코어-셸 나노입자의 크기가 작을수록, 분자량이 클수록, 실리카가 많이 첨가될수록 증가함을 확인하였다. 또한 PBA/PS 코어-셸 고분자는 실리카가 13.0 wt% 첨가되었음에도 불구하고 25$^\circ$C, 13.8 MPa, 5분의 조건에서 우수한 압력가소성 특징을 나타내었으며 6배 이상 증가된 탄성계수가 얻어졌다.

Mesoporous carbon-silica composites supported Pt nanoparticle catalysts (Pt/MCS) were firstly applied to the heterogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation of ethyl 2-oxo-4-phenylbutyrate (EOPB). A series of different silica contents were investigated in the fabrication of this mesoporous material. When the volume of added tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) during the preparation of composites is 8 mL, Pt/MCS-8 holds carbon and silica as the main components and possesses relatively strong acidity, mesoporous structures with micropores, appropriate Pt nanoparticle size and high dispersibility showing by XRD, XPS, TPD, $N_2$ sorption and TEM. These properties cause its good catalytic performance in the heterogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation of EOPB with the enantiomeric excess value and conversion up to 85.6% and 97.8%, respectively.
