Tin oxide thin films were prepared on borosilicate glass by rf reactive sputtering at different deposition powers, process pressures and substrate temperatures. The ratio of oxygen/argon gas flow was fixed as 10 sccm / 60 sccm in this study. The structural, electrical and optical properties were examined by the design of experiment to evaluate the optimized processing conditions. The Taguchi method was used in this study. The films were characterized by X-ray diffraction, UV-Vis spectrometer, Hall effect measurements and atomic force microscope. Tin oxide thin films exhibited three types of crystal structures, namely, amorphous, SnO and SnO2. In the case of amorphous thin films the optical band gap was widely spread from 2.30 to 3.36 eV and showed n-type conductivity. While the SnO thin films had an optical band gap of 2.24-2.49 eV and revealed p-type conductivity, the SnO2 thin films showed an optical band gap of 3.33-3.63 eV and n-type conductivity. Among the three process parameters, the plasma power had the most impact on changing the structural, electrical and optical properties of the tin oxide thin films. It was also found that the grain size of the tin oxide thin films was dependent on the substrate temperature. However, the substrate temperature has very little effect on electrical and optical properties.

Al2O3 has received wide attention with established use as a catalyst and growing application in structural or functional ceramic materials. On the other hand, the boehmite (AlO(OH)) obtained by sol-gel process has exhibited a decrease in surface area during phase transformation due to a decline in surface active site at high temperature. In this work, Al2O3-CuO/ZnO (ACZ) and Al2O3-CuO/CeO (ACC) composite materials were synthesized with aluminum isopropoxide, copper (II) nitrate hemi (pentahydrate), and cerium (III) nitrate hexahydrate or zinc (II) nitrate hexahydrate. Moreover, the Span 80 as the template block copolymer was added to the ACZ/ACC composition to make nano size particles and to keep increasing the surface area. The ACZ/ACC synthesized powders were characterized by Thermogravimetry-Differential Thermal analysis (TG/DTA), X-ray Diffractometer (XRD), Field-Emmision Scanning Electron Microscope (FE-SEM), Bruner-Emmett-Teller (BET) surface analysis and thermal electrical conductivity (ZEM-2:M8/L). An enhancement of surface area with the addition to Span 80 surfactant was observed in the ACZ powders from 105 m2/g to 142 m2/g, and the ACC powders from 103 m2/g to 140 m2/g, respectively.

Composites of ceramic powders and an elastomer-based matrix were prepared by mixing CaCO3 powders with polyethylene and polypropylene elastomers, and their mechanical and sound insulation properties were measured. CaCO3 powders with 0.7 μm and 35 μm particle size were added to elastomers up to 80 wt%. Scanning electron microscopy photographs showed uniform distribution of the CaCO3 powders in the matrix. While density and surface hardness increased, melt index, tensile strength and elongation of the composites decreased as the amount of added CaCO3 powders increased. As more CaCO3 powders were added sound transmission loss of the composites increased owing to the increase of density. Addition of 0.7 μm sized CaCO3 powders resulted in a slightly higher transmission loss than the addition of 35 μm sized powders because of the increased interface area between the elastomer matrix and the CaCO3 powders. Composites with a polyethylene matrix showed higher transmission loss than those with a polypropylene matrix because the tensile strength and hardness of the polyethylene-based composites were low and their elongation was high.

This study was conducted to determine the influence of culture conditions such as temperature, time, water content, koji-thickness, and agitation on the production of protease by Rhizopus sp. ZB9, isolated from Korean Nuruk, during the preparation of rice koji, which is used in brewing the Korean rice wines, Takju and Yakju. Rice koji was made under different culture conditions, and the proteolytic activity of each koji was tested. The temperature range suitable for the production of protease was 28~32℃. Based on the protease and color, 60 hours of cultivation at 28℃ was shown to produce optimum results. The production of protease increased in proportion to the increase in water content of steamed rice from 25% to 35%. An increase in koji-thickness induced no adverse effects on the production of protease, and agitation during cultivation showed beneficial effects.

Regenerated cellulose was prepared from Buckeye wood pulp V60 via dissolution in N-methylmorpholin N-oxide (NMMO) solvent system. The effect of antioxidants such as, n-propylgallate (PG), tris(nonylphenyl) phosphite (TRIS), ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid disodium salt (EDTA), and magnesium sulfate on the properties of regenerated cellulose was studied using X-ray diffraction, copper index calculation, and viscometry. Only addition of more than 0.01% of PG into NMMO solvent was effective to avoid the reduction of the degree of polymerization(DP) of regenerated cellulose during dissolution at 110℃. However, the early stage(within 0.5h of dissolution process) degradation of cellulose was not prevented eventhough up to 0.5% PG was appled to hot NMMO system. In addition, to recover the expensive NMMO after cellulose regenerating process, the washing filtrate was studied using simple techniques, such as refractive index, pH, and conductivity measurements. Through conductivity measurement result, 4-time of washing was enough to remove the NMMO completely from regenerated cellulose.

The present paper deals with an analysis of relationship among technical human resources management as a precursor, technology innovation activity and achievements of technical innovation on the basis of preceding empirical studies on technology innovation activities of manufacturing corporations. The analysis shows that First, the technical human resources management is found to have influence upon technology innovation activity in various ways, implying that the role of technical human resources management as a key to technical innovation is most important of all to enable manufacturing companies to gain edge in competition by means of technology innovation activity; and Second, technology innovation activity exercises impacts on the achievements of exploitative technology innovation as well as on the achievements of exploratory technology innovation on the part of manufacturing industry. The above findings prove that the level of technology innovation activity may be a source for superior competitiveness of manufacturing business as a result of technology innovation performance. Manufacturing corporations, thus, need to place more weight on stepping up their executive level of technology innovation activity factors than on increasing simply the level of technical investment.

다공성 Poly(propylene) 분리막의 지지 하에 전해질 용액 (EC/DEC 1 : 1 혼합물 내의 LiPF6 1 M 용액) 내에서 DEGDMA [Di(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate]의 70℃ 열중합을 통하여 겔 고분자 전해질(GPE)막이 합성 되었다. 합성된 겔 고분자 전해질막의 이온전도도 및 전기화학적 안정성은 AC 임피던스법 및 CV (cyclic voltametry)법에 의하여 측정 평가하였다. 겔 고분자를 전해질로, 그리고 양극 및 음극으로는 각각 LiMi0.8Co0.2O2 및 graphite로 이용하여 리튬이온전지(LIB)도 제작하였다. 열중합을 통하여 리튬 이온전지에 적합한 이온전도도(10 -3 S/cm 이상) 및 전기화학적 안정성을 보이면서 자체적인 성상을 유지하는 겔 고분자 전해질막을 얻을 수 있었다. 단량체 함량 5%의 전구체로 제작한 겔 고분자 전지는 단량체 함량이 7.0% 및 10.0%인 경우에 비하여 우수한 고율 및 충-방전 효율을 보였다.

The blending effects of surfactants on the polystyrene emulsion polymerization were studied. The blending of Triton X-100 and SDS affects to the interfacial properties of the styrene monomer and water phases, and finally, the properties of the polystyrene latex particles. As the blending ratio of SDS/Triton X-100 increases, the interfacial tension and CMC of the blended surfactants were decreased and results in a reducing the size of the latex particles. It was found that the interfacial tension was reduced when the surfactant were blended. By increasing the SDS content, the interfacial tension was reduced, and, at a certain condition, the interfacial tension was reached to an extremely low value to form micro-emulsion and the nano-sized latex particles (80~110 nm).

본 연구의 목적은 다양한 셀룰로오스 계 고분자를 이용한 정삼투(FO) 막을 제조하고 각각의 고분자 및 첨가제에 따른 성능의 차이를 평가하는 것이다. 셀룰로오스 아세테이트(CA)와 셀룰로오스 트리아세테이트(CTA)를 기반으로 상전환법을 통하여 정삼투막을 제조하고 가압조건과 정삼투 조건하에서 투과유량 및 염제거율을 비교하였다. CA 정삼투막은 용매의 증발 및 annealing 수행 시간에 따라 막의 성능의 변화가 발생하였으며, CTA 정삼투막의 경우에는 annealing보다는 첨가제를 활용하여 성능의 향상을 이끌어낼 수 있었다. 또한 CTA 정삼투막의 정삼투 투과유량은 4.46 L/m2hr였으나 CA/CTA 정삼투막의 경우에는 8.89 L/m2hr로, 단일 고분자를 사용하기 보다는 CTA에 CA를 혼합하여 막을 제조하는 것이 정삼투 투과유량 증가에 보다 효율적이었다.

Desorption reaction characteristics of the used activated carbons collected from manufacture of rubber and plastics products in Shiwha/Banwal industrial complex were investigated. Desorption reactions were analyzed based on the data obtained from a thermogravimetric analyzer. Activation energies and reaction orders for desorption reaction characteristics of the used activated carbons were estimated by employing the Friedman method and the Freeman-Carroll method. It was found that the activation energies were 24.7∼41.3 kJ/㏖ in the Friedman method and 13.9∼24.4 kJ/㏖ in the Freeman-carroll method, and reaction orders were 0.3∼1.4.

The selenization process has been a promising method for low-cost and large-scale production of high quality CIGS film. However, there is the problem that most Ga in the CIGS film segregates near the Mo back contact. So the solar cell behaves like a CuInSe2 and lacks the increased open-circuit voltage. In this study we investigated the Ga distribution in CIGS films by using the Ga2Se3 layer. The Ga2Se3 layer was applied on the Cu-In-Ga metal layer to increase Ga content at the surface of CIGS films and to restrict Ga diffusion to the CIGS/Mo interface with Ga and Se bonding. The layer made by thermal evaporation was showed to an amorphous Ga2Se3 layer in the result of AES depth profile, XPS and XRD measurement. As the thickness of Ga2Se3 layer increased, a small-grained CIGS film was developed and phase seperation was showed using SEM and XRD respectively. Ga distributions in CIGS films were investigated by means of AES depth profile. As a result, the [Ga]/[In+Ga] ratio was 0.2 at the surface and 0.5 near the CIGS/Mo interface when the Ga2Se3 thickness was 220 nm, suggesting that the Ga2Se3 layer on the top of metal layer is one of the possible methods for Ga redistribution and open circuit voltage increase.

As a starting material, BCP (biphasic calcium phosphate) nano powder was synthesized by a hydrothermal microwave-assisted process. A highly porous BCP scaffold was fabricated by the sponge replica method using 60 ppi (pore per inch) of polyurethane sponge. The BCP scaffold had interconnected pores ranging from 100 μm to 1000 μm, which were similar to natural cancellous bone. To realize the antibacterial property, a microwave-assisted nano Ag spot coating process was used. The morphology and distribution of nano Ag particles were different depending on the coating conditions, such as concentration of the AgNO3 solution, microwave irradiation times, etc. With an increased microwave irradiation time, the amount of coated nano Ag particles increased. The surface of the BCP scaffold was totally covered with nano Ag particles homogeneously at 20 seconds of microwave irradiation time when 0.6 g of AgNO3 was used. With an increased amount of AgNO3 and irradiation time, the size of the coated particles increased. Antibacterial activities of the solution extracted from the Ag-coated BCP scaffold were examined against gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and gram-positive bacteria (Staphylococcus aureus). When 0.6 g of AgNO3 was used for coating the Ag-coated scaffold, it showed higher antibacterial activities than that of the Ag-coated scaffold using 0.8 g of AgNO3.
