Abstract1It takes lots of time and labor if a worker have to measure the water quality at a certain but designated time every day in an un-automated aqua farm. In addition, if the equipment is soaked in the sea water consistently, it will be contaminated by diverse floating matters and barnacles, and it often becomes mal-functional within 2~3 months. Therefore, we need to develop a system with which the sensed data could be checked in real time and operated automatically, while preventing the contamination of the sensor, a crucial component for water quality measuring equipment, as much as possible, and increasing the replacement cycle. We have developed a non-cleaning water quality measuring equipment and its software which are used in the fishery household of offshore aqua farms. By providing the workers with a mobile application which has a function of monitoring the water quality in real time, they can check the situation directly without going to the fishery household.

원자전달 라디칼 중합을 이용하여 poly(hydroxyl ethyl acrylate)-b-polystyrene-b-poIy(hydroxyl ethyl acrylate) (PHEA-b-PS-b-PHEA) 트리블록 공중합체를 합성하였다. 이렇게 합성된 PHEA-b-PS-b-PHEA블록 공중합체의 -OH 그룹과 이미다졸 디카르복실릭산(IDA)의 -COOH 그룹과의 에스테르 반응에 의하여 가교된 전해질막을 제조하였다. 인산(H3PO4)을 도핑하여 이미다졸-인산 착체를 형성한 결과, 인산 함량이 증가함에 따라 고분자 전해질막의 수소 이온 전도도가 증가하였다. 특히 [HEA]:[IDA]:[H3PO4]=3:4:4의 조성을 갖는 PHEA-b-PS-b-PHEA/IDA/H3PO4 고분자 전해질막은 100℃의 비가습 조건에서 최대 0.01 S/cm의 수소이온 전도도를 나타내었다. 열분석 결과(TGA) 전해질막은 350℃의 고온까지 열적으로 안정함을 확인하여 연료전지에 적용이 가능함을 보여주었다.
