Abstract: There is provided an organic-inorganic composite material containing a single nanoparticle therein, which is prepared by individually dispersing hydrophilic inorganic nanoparticles having a uniform particle size and conjugating biodegradable polymers to the surface of the nanoparticle, and a method of preparing the same.

Abstract: The present invention provides for a metal oxide nanoparticle that contains a metal core, a shell formed on the surface of the core and consisted of the same metal as the core, and an organic compound containing an element capable of covalently bonding with the nanoparticle and a hydrophilic functional group. According to the examples, uniform-sized hydrophilic metallic oxide-based nanoparticles are obtained when superparamagnetic iron oxide particles, which have a globular shape and are less than 20 nanometers in size, are first synthesized in an organic solution, and then are converted to hydrophilic particles after undergoing surface modification.

Abstract: In a metal oxide nanoparticle and a synthetic method thereof, and in particular to maghemite (?-Fe2O3) nanoparticles usable as a superhigh density magnetic recording substance by having good shape anisotropy and magnetic characteristics, hematite (?-Fe2O3) nanoparticles usable as a precursor to the maghemite or a catalyst, maghemite and hematite-mixed nanoparticles and a synthetic method thereof, the method for synthesizing metal oxide nanoparticles includes forming a reverse micelle solution by adding distilled water, a surfactant and a solvent to metallic salt not less than trivalent, precipitating and separating gel type amorphous metal oxide particles by adding proton scavenger to the reverse micelle solution; adjusting a molar ratio of metal oxide to the surfactant by washing the gel type amorphous metal oxide particles with a polar solvent; and crystallizing metal oxide nanoparticles through heating or reflux after dispersing the gel type amorphous metal oxide particles in a non-polar solvent having a h

Abstract: Disclosed are an organotitanium precursor and a method for manufacturing the same. The organotitanium precursor of the present invention has a structure in which titanium ion having a valence of +4, glycol having a valence of −2, &bgr;-ketoester having a valence of −1 are reacted in a molar ratio of 1:1:2, and thereby coordination sites of the titanium are saturated. According to the invention, volatility of the precursor is enhanced. Also, since the precursor is separated in the form of a white powder, it is easy to deal the precursor. Further, the precursor of the invention allows a superior deposition rate even at a temperature of 470° C. or less, so that it is possible to economically manufacture titanium dioxide thin film which is applicable to BST or PZT system.
