In this work, we synthesize brilliant yellow color α-FeOOH by controlling the rod length and core-shell structure. The characteristics of α-FeOOH nanorods are controlled by the reaction conditions. In particular, the length of the α-FeOOH rods depends on the concentration of the raw materials, such as the alkali solution. The length of the nanorods is adjusted from 68 nm to 1435 nm. Their yellowness gradually increases, with the highest b* value of 57 based on the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) Lab system, by controlling the nanorod length. A high quality yellow color is obtained after formation of a silica coating on the α-FeOOH structure. The morphology and the coloration of the nal products are investigated in detail by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscopy, UV-vis spectroscopy, and the CIE Lab color parameter measurements.

This manuscript reports on compared color evolution about phase transformation of α-FeOOH@SiO2 and β-FeOOH@SiO2 pigments. Prepared α-FeOOH and β-FeOOH were coated with silica for enhancing thermal properties and coloration of both samples. To study phase and color of α-FeOOH and β-FeOOH, we prepared nano sized iron oxide hydroxide pigments which were coated with SiO2 using tetraethylorthosilicate and cetyltrimethyl-ammonium bro- mide as a surface modifier. The silica-coated both samples were calcined at high temperatures (300, 700 and 1000°C) and characterized by scanning electron microscopy, CIE L*a*b* color parameter measurements, transmission electron microscopy and UV-vis spectroscopy. The yellow α-FeOOH and β-FeOOH was transformed to α-Fe2O3 with red, brown at 300, 700°C, respectively.

채색 문화재 및 전통회화의 적색, 황색 안료로 사용되는 진사, 웅황, 그리고 자황의 광물학적 특성을 분석하고 촉진내후성 평가를 통한 안정성을 평가하였다. 진사는 시료명을 JB, JS로 하였고, 웅황과 자황은 각각 UH, JH로 하였다. 광물학적 특성 평가 결과 JB, JS는 cinnabar (HgS)로 주구성 광물이 확인되었고, 품위에 따른 화학성분에 차이를 보이지 않았다. UH와 JH는 각각 realgar (AsS), orpiment (As2S3)로 주구성 광물이 확인되었다. 편광현미경 관찰 결과 쪼개짐, 색상 등 편광학적 특성을 통해 모 두 천연적으로 생성된 무기안료임을 알 수 있었다. 특히 진사의 경우 성분분석으로는 천연적으로 생성된 안료인지 인공안료인지 판별이 쉽지 않은데 편광현미경을 통해 천연안료가 가지는 입자특성 및 쪼개짐을 확인하였으며, 열적 반응 특성을 확인하였다. 열분석 결과 JH가 UH에 비해 유리전이 온도가 높고 안정한 것을 확인하였다. 촉진내후성 평가 결과 진사, 웅황 그리고 자황은 모두 광열화에 의한 색변화가 크게 나타나며, 진사는 최종적으로 흑색(blackening)되고 웅황과 자황은 밝은 노란색으로 변한다. Meta-cinnabar로 예상되는 JB가 cinnabar인 JS에 비해 흑화현상이 더 빨리 촉진되었으며, UH (realgar)는 광조사에 의해 arsenolite (As2O3)로 변하는 것을 확인하였다.
