‘Palbangmi’ is a super high-yield rice cultivar bred by interspecies cross between Tongil type and Africa rice. But, ‘Palbangmi’ has a problem in grain maturation which results in rice yield decreases. Because ‘Palbangmi’ is Tongil and Africa rice interspecies-crossed cultivar, it would be predicted to require higher temperature for grain maturation than japonica rice. Therefore, ‘Palbangmi’ would be required to determine Late Marginal Heading Date (LMHD) for normal maturation. In this study, experiment of transplanting date was carried out to determine LMHD of ‘Palbangmi’ in Suwon and Iksan for 3 years. When daily mean temperature was below 23oC, grain filling ratio (%) increased about 8% for each 1oC. On the other hands, grain filling ratio (%) didn't increase when the daily mean temperature was above 23oC. Therefore, it is determined that 23oC is adequate for minimum threshold temperature for grain maturation. The LMHD of ‘Palbangmi’ was determined from calculated heading dates for each year which could satisfy threshold temperature for 40 days after heading during last 15 years. As a results, LMHD was earlier than August 1 in 16 regions where it is inadequate for ‘Palbangmi’. Continually, LMHD was August 1 ~ August 5 in 13 regions, August 6 ~ August 10 in 14 regions and August 11 ~ August 15 in 21 regions. Finally, LMHD was later than August 15 in 14 regions. Considering that heading date of ‘Palbangmi’ is August 13 as mid maturing ecotype, it is suggested that earlier transplanting required for normal maturing in almost areas except south plain area and some areas of central plain area.

PTMSP[poly(1-trimethylsilyl-1-propyne)]는 구조적으로 trimethylsilyl의 크기와 큰 자유부피를 인하여 기체의 투과도가 매우 우수한 장점을 가지고 있으나, 선택도가 낮은 단점이 있다. GO(Graphene oxide)는 흑연으로부터 제조하여 재료의 습득이 용이하고, 단일막 제조시, 기체투과에 선택적 배리어로서 작용한다. 본 연구에서는 PTMSP-GO 복합막을 제조하여 물리화학적 특성을 분석하고, 기체투과도를 측정하여 상대적 선택도를 도출하는 연구를 실행하였다.

탄소나노튜브(MWCNT)는 그 구조적 특징에 따라 열적, 기계적 안정성이 우수하며 고분자 매트릭스 내에 소량만 첨가하여도 향상된 물성을 얻을 수 있다. 그러나 탄소나노튜브를 고분자 복합체에 응용 시 분산이 필수적으로 요구되기 때문에 전처리 기술이 필요하다. 본 연구에서는 PEO 막의 CO2 투과도 향상을 위해 PEO/EVA 혼합물에 산처리를 통해 표면에 친수성기가 도입된 다중벽 탄소나노튜브(MWCNT-COOH)를 첨가하여 PEO/EVA/MWCNT 혼성막을 제조하였다. 제조된 혼성막의 특성을 FT-IR, TGA, SEM 분석으로 확인하였다.

Poly(ether-block-amide)(PEBA, PEBAX)는 열가소성 탄성체로서 단단하고 견고한 성질과 부드럽고 유연한 성질을 동시에 지니고 있기 때문에 분리 막 이용 시 우수한 기계적 특성, 선택도, 높은 투과도를 제공할 수 있다. Chitosan은 갑 각류에서 얻을 수 있는 친환경적인 고분자 물질이나 Chitosan을 분리 막 이용 시 낮은 기계적 안정성, 열적 안정성, gas barrier 성질들로 인해 이용하는데 한계가 있다. 본 실험에서는 PEBAX와 Chitosan을 사용해 복합 막을 제조하고 물리화학적 특성을 알아보았다. 기체 투과 실험은 국산 Sepra Tek사재 VPA-601을 사용하여 측정하였다. 기체투과실험은 일정압력의 조건에서 온도별, 고분자의 함량별로 행하였다.

Recently, graphene oxide (GO) has been extensively investigated for gas and liquid separation because thin-film GO membranes show quite interesting separation performance. However, even GO membranes exhibit relatively low gas permeability due to high tortuosity caused by high aspect ratio of GO. Normally, the size of GO is in the range from a few hundred nanometers to a few micrometers, so inherent gas permeability would be very varied. For practical applications of GO membranes, the gas permeability should be improved. As such, in this study, we have modified the pristine GO sheets to reduce the gas permeation pathway, with maintaining GO’s excellent gas separation properties. This study will provide a further insight on how such two-dimensional nanosheets can be used for membrane applications, competing with existing membrane materials.

Graphene is well-known as a perfect barrier because of its dense and delocalized cloud consisting of p-orbitals. However, graphene membrane synthesized by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) intrinsically contains structural defects (e.q., grain boundaries and point defects), which allow any small molecules to penetrate through the defective graphene membrane. Here we prepared polycrystalline graphene membranes including such defects, and investigated the gas transport behavior through the graphene membrane. Also, we compared the gas permeation behavior (or barrier properties) of large-area, single crystalline graphene membrane without any structural defects.

PVDF Membrane has been used as material for the UF membrane through in-situ interfacial polymerization (IP) because of it’s outstanding properties such as high chemical resistance, thermal stability, and mechanical strength. In this study, surface morphology change of PVDF membrane was researched depending on evaporation time. 13% PVDF 6020 was used for casting and the evaporation time period was from 5s to 600s. The surface morphology of the membrane was investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and filtration was conducted in the cross flow method to evaluate the a performance of UF membrane. As a result, average pore size was increased with longer evaporation times which caused the decrease of rejection.

Graphene oxide (GO) is an intriguing two-dimensional nanosheet, a highly oxidized graphene sheet. Due to its various oxygen-containing polar functional groups, graphene oxide shows high CO2 sorption properties, and also thin-film GO membranes exhibit good CO2 separation properties, particularly in the presence of water molecules. Recently, GO nanosheets have been incorporated into polymer membranes, in the form of mixed-matrix membranes, to expect the synergistic effect of GO and polymer matrix. Here, we prepared novel GO/polymer membranes via crosslinking reactions between polar groups on basal plane of GO and bi-functional crosslinking agents, and then conducted the gas permeation measurements to see the possible enhancement for permeability/selectivity performance.

Carbon nanomaterials such as graphene and its derivatives can be used for membrane applications due to its scalable area and one-atom-thickness, if pores or channels can be well-engineered. Particularly, graphene oxide (GO), a highly oxidized graphene sheet, shows promising membrane building block for gas separation as well as liquid separation. Due to its various polar groups, GO-based membranes also show good candidate for CO2 separation. In this regard, we tried to prepare large-scale GO-based, thin-film composite membrane for post-combustion CO2 capture, and also fabricated membrane modules (e.g., spiral wound membrane or plate-and-frame modules) to apply for real flue gas separation. In this study, the separation performance of two kinds of membrane modules will be compared in terms of gas permeance, selectivity, and pressure drop.

뛰어난 물성을 가진 poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF)는 정밀여과 (MF)와 한 외여과 (UF) 분리막의 소재로써 많이 연구되고 있다. 기공의 크기를 조절하는 것은 분리막을 제조하는데 있어 중요한 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 매우 간단한 방법으로 분리막의 기공 크기를 조절하는 새로운 방법을 제시하고자 한다. PVDF 한외여과 분리막의 기공 크기는 유리판 위에 150 ㎛의 두께로 주조된 PVDF 도프 용액이 응고조 (증류수)속으로 들어가는 속도를 통해 조절되었다. 이 때 PVDF 한외여과 분리막의 기공 크기는 응고조에 들어가는 PVDF 도프 용액의 속도가 감소될수록 증가하는 경향을 보였다.

This study presents the stone cutter design that can rotate and change the cutting side of the stone automatically by the combination structures of the rotatable and foldable plates. Foldable plates are consisted with the iron plate and the hydraulic cylinders system(1500W pump power) which can generate high pressure to raise the plates and the stone. Additionally, rotatable plates are designed by gear system which has high gear ratio(1:8) for rotating heavy stone(5ton) easily. We analyzed the movement of the stone and investigated the total system of the stone cutter including a rotator and a tilter. Moreover, we constructed a control board to control the system accurately. This system can induce high quality cutting process controlled within errors of 5% and also reduce the process time from about 20 min to 90 sec by the automatic system.
