1,2-디브로모에탄을 이용한 2-에티닐피리딘의 무촉매중합을 통하여 이온성 전도성 고분자를 높은 수율로 합 성하였다. 합성한 고분자의 분자구조를 여러 가지 분석장비로 측정한 결과 설계한 N-(2-브로모에틸)피리디늄 브로마 이드를 갖는 공액구조 고분자임을 확인할 수 있었다. 이 고분자의 UV-Visible스펙트럼에서는 800 nm 까지 흡수 피 크를 보여주는데, 이는 공액구조 고분자의 π→ π* 전이에 기인한 것이다. 아울러 고분자의 전기전도도 및 전기광학 특성을 측정하고 분석하였다. 이 고분자는 도핑과 탈도핑 사이에서 매우 안정한 비가역 전기화학적 거동을 보였다.

The external R&D, which includes the adoption of the external technology and knowledge in addition to the internal R&D, is one of important factors for the innovation. Especially for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), the external R&D has been considered as a key factor to carry out the innovation more efficiently due to the limitations of their resources and capacities. However, most of extant studies related to external R&D have focused on analyzing the influence of external R&D on innovation outputs or outcomes. Only a few studies have explored the impact of external R&D on the innovation efficiency. This study therefore investigates whether the external R&D effects the industry’s innovation efficiency and productivity. On this study, we used Korean manufacturing industry data of SMEs from 2012 to 2014 and employed a global Malmquist productivity analysis technique, which is based on the Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA), to assess the innovation efficiency and productivity. Innovation performances of external R&D group and internal R&D group are compared. Then, the sectoral patterns of both innovation efficiency and productivity are analyzed with respect to the technological intensity, which is introduced by OECD. The results show that the gap of innovation efficiency between external and internal R&D groups has gradually decreased because of the continuous improvement of the external R&D group’s performance, while the external R&D group lag behind the internal R&D group. In addition, patterns of the innovation efficiency and productivity change were different depending on the technological intensity, which means that the higher the technological intensity, the greater the effect of external R&D.

SCM activities in a company are considered as total innovation through synchronizing supply and demand while maintaining appropriate inventory level and reducing the business operating costs. Until now, even several researches are carried out on the SCM performance of the companies which have introduced and been operating SCM, the research on the cost analysis for the inventory which occurs frequently on supply chain is still insufficient. Especially, for the electronics industry in which the product depreciation is sharp caused by the short product life cycle and the complexity of distribution channels, even the inventory related costs are a major factor in business management, since the current estimated criteria of inventory costs are limited to the interest and maintenance management costs, the criteria do not reflect the total influence of the product depreciation and lost opportunity cost which are related to the business management. Furthermore, even though the rapid price drops of the distributor inventory caused by the frequent new model launch can be covered by the product manufacturers, the scale of total costs related to the inventory has not been conceived because the price compensation is traditionally considered as a market costs.In this research, we analyzed the inventory characteristics of electronics industry in which the price depreciation happens frequently, newly defining the estimated criteria of the product total inventory cost which includes price depreciation from the product manufacturers’ view. Finally we focus on the case study of a representative electronics company and verify the scale of the influence on management performance.

연구에서는, 전기방사법을 이용하여 산화철-산화그래핀(Fe3O4/GO, metallic graphene oxide; MGO)이 도입된 PVdF/MGO 복합나노섬유(PMG)를 제조하였으며, 이를 활용하여 비소제거에 대한 특성 평가를 진행하였다. MGO의 경우 In-situ-wet chemical 방법으로 제조하였으며, FT-IR, XRD분석을 진행하여, 형태와 구조를 확인하였다. 나노섬유 분리막의 기 계적 강도 개선을 위하여 열처리과정을 진행하였으며, 제조된 분리막의 우수한 기계적 강도 개선 효과를 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나, PMG 막의 경우, 도입된 MGO의 함량이 증가할수록 기계적 강도가 감소되는 경향성을 보여주었으며, 기공크기 분석 결과로부터, 0.3~0.45 μm의 기공크기를 가진 다공성 분리막이 제조되었음을 확인할 수 있었다. 수처리용 분리막으로의 활용 가능성 조사를 위해, 수투과도 분석을 실시하였다. 특히, PMG2.0 샘플의 경우 0.3 bar 조건에서, PVdF 나노섬유막(91 kg/m2h)에 비해 약 70% 향상된 결과값(153 kg/m2h)을 나타내었다. 또한, 비소 흡착실험 결과로부터, PMG 막의 경우, 비소3 가와 5가에 최대 81%, 68%의 높은 제거율을 보여주었으며, 흡착등온선 분석으로부터, 제조된 PMG 막의 경우 비소3가, 5가 모두 Freundlich 흡착거동을 따른다는 것을 확인하였다. 위 모든 결과로부터, PVdF/MGO 복합 나노섬유 분리막은 비소제거 및 수처리용 분리막으로 충분히 활용할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

Polyethersulfone (PES) 고분자 상변환막의 성능을 향상시키기 위해 PES 고분자에 나노 크기의 ZnO 무기입자를 함침시킨 혼합기질막(mixed matrix membrane)을 제조하고 특성을 평가하였다. PES-ZnO 혼합기질막은 ZnO 나노입자를 PES 대비 최대 0.375 wt%의 낮은 비율로 첨가시킨 PES-ZnO-NMP(N-methyl-1-pyrrolidone)로 이루어진 캐스팅 용액을 사용하여 상변환법을 통해 제조하였다. 제조된 혼합기질 막의 물성과 특성은 막의 단면구조 관찰, 접촉각 측정, 인장강도 측정, 순수 투과량 측정 및 BSA 단백질 용액의 한외여과 실험을 통해 평가하였다. 이 결과 혼합기질 막은 PES 고분자 matrix에 함유된 ZnO 나노입자로 인해 막의 친수성이 증가하여 막오염 발생이 억제되어 투과량이 증가하였다. ZnO 나노입자는 혼합기질막의 제조에 있어 막오염의 발생 억제와 투과량 증가에 유용하게 사용될 수 있는 무기물 첨가제임을 알 수 있다.

염수전기분해(saline water electrolysis) 또는 클로로-알칼리 막공정(chlor-alkali membrane process)은 양이온교환 막과 전극으로 구성되는 전해셀에 전기를 가하여, 고순도(> 99%)의 고부가가치 화합물(예 : 염소, 수소, 수산화나트륨)을 직 접 제조하는 화학공정이다. 염수전기분해의 경제성은 동일한 양의 화합물을 생산하기 위해 투여되는 에너지 소비량을 저감 시킴으로 달성될 수 있다. 이러한 이슈는 전해질이나 전극의 고유 저항을 줄이거나, 전해질과 전극 사이의 계면 저항을 감소 시킴으로 달성시킬 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 전자빔 동시조사법을 사용하여, 높은 화학적 안정성을 지닌 탄화수소계 술폰산 이 오노머 막의 표면에 높은 이온선택성을 갖는 고분자를 접목 시키는 시도가 이루어졌다. 이를 통해, 고분자 전해질 막의 이온 전도성을 보완함과 동시에, 전극과의 계면 저항을 감소시켜, 전기화학적 효율 향상이 이루어짐을 관찰하였다.

Spent mushroom substrate (SMS) has generally been used for the manufacture of animal feed and production of bio fuel. Limited research has been conducted in the utilization of SMS as a co-material for composting. Therefore, the main purpose of this study was to evaluate the feasibility of composting vegetable waste mixed with various ratios of SMS (30, 40, and 50%). The results showed that the C/N ratio decreased when both sawdust (from 22.0~28.8 to 17.7~20.4) and SMS (from 18.5~19.5 to 12.7~16.8) were applied for composing, owing to increased contents of nitrogen. A maturity test conducted using mechanical (Solvita) and germination tests revealed that both sawdust (92.0~101.9%) and SMS (87.8~89.2%) satisfied a criteria of maturity standard (70%). A correlation analysis between compost maturity and its chemical properties revealed that the C/N ratio and pH were the most dominant parameters for compost maturity. Overall, SMS could be utilized as a compost material and especially, vegetable waste mixed with SMS could provide sufficient nutrients for crop growth.

Graphene has shown exceptional properties for high performance devices due to its high carrier mobility. Of particular interest is the potential use of graphene nanoribbons as field-effect transistors. Herein, we introduce a facile approach to the fabrication of graphene nanoribbon (GNR) arrays with ~200 nm width using nanoimprint lithography (NIL), which is a simple and robust method for patterning with high fidelity over a large area. To realize a 2D material-based device, we integrated the graphene nanoribbon arrays in field effect transistors (GNR-FETs) using conventional lithography and metallization on highly-doped Si/SiO2 substrate. Consequently, we observed an enhancement of the performance of the GNRtransistors compared to that of the micro-ribbon graphene transistors. Besides this, using a transfer printing process on a flexible polymeric substrate, we demonstrated graphene-silicon junction structures that use CVD grown graphene as flexible electrodes for Si based transistors.

Particle morphology change and different experimental condition analysis during composite fabrication process by traditional ball milling with discrete element method (DEM) simulation were investigated. A simulation of the three dimensional motion of balls in a traditional ball mill for research on the grinding mechanism was carried out by DEM simulation. We studied the motion of the balls, the ball behavior energy and velocity; the forces acting on the balls were calculated using traditional ball milling as simulated by DEM. The effect of the operational variables such as the rotational speed, ball material and size on the flow velocity, collision force and total impact energy were analyzed. The results showed that increased rotation speed with interaction impact energy between balls and balls, balls and pots and walls and balls. The rotation speed increases with an increase of the impact energy. Experiments were conducted to quantify the grinding performance under the same conditions. Furthermore, the results showed that ball motion affects the particle morphology, which changed from irregular type to plate type with increasing rotation speed. The evolution was also found to depend on the impact energy increase of the grinding media. These findings are useful to understand and optimize the particle motion and grinding behavior of traditional ball mills.

Physicochemical properties of potato chip treated with superheated steam (SHS) at various temperatures (120, 150, 180, and 220oC) and durations (2, 5, 8, and 10 min) were measured to assess the potential application of SHS in the production of unfried chips. A faster drying rate was obtained at a higher SHS temperature due to a lower degree of water condensation on the surface of the potato chip. A higher temperature of SHS resulted in higher volume shrinkage, indicating the dependency of shrinkage on the volume of water loss. SHS treatment did not cause any significant defects in the appearance of potato chips although pillowing and burnt spots were observed on the surface of the sample processed at 220oC for 10 min. Damaged starch content and Rapid Visco Analyzer profiles showed that partial gelatinization occurred during SHS treatment. Potato chips treated with SHS showed the shrinkage of parenchyma cells, resulting to compressed cell layers at the surface and inside. As treatment proceeded, air cells were formed internally. These results suggested that SHS combined with post drying process would be appropriate in the production of unfried potato chips by reducing drying time without causing any deterioration in quality.

Although rice production gradually increased in Korea, rice consumption has been significantly reduced during the last decade. To increase rice consumption, it is necessary to develop a wide range of rice-processed foods and functional rice materials. In association with digestion in rice-functional materials, people are interested in resistant starch (RS). The purpose of this study was to develop the citrated organic rice flour by dry process with different treatments and to investigate its physicochemical properties. Citric acid (0, 20, 30, 40% dry basis) was mixed with organic rice flour and reacted at 105oC and 150oC for 5 h. The degree of substitution increased with increasing citric acid concentration and reaction temperature. In DSC, when reacted at 105oC, onset temperature gradually decreased with increasing citric acid concentration but no DSC thermal characteristics were observed when reacted at 150oC. Relative crystallinity determined by XRD did not greatly change at 105oC but dramatically decreased at 150oC. As citric acid concentration and reaction temperature increased, rapidly digestible starch, slowly digestible starch, and total starch decreased but RS significantly increased. Therefore, RS content in organic rice flour increased with dryprocessed citric acid treatment and this could be applicable to produce functional foods for diabetes.

습식제련 공정은 대부분 황화광석을 원료로 하기 때문에 제련 과정 중 황산 농도 2～15 wt%의 불순물을 함유한 폐 황산이 발생하게 된다. 발생하는 폐 황 산에는 다양한 희소금속들이 포함되어 있으나, 현재 공정수에서 희소금속 처리 기술부족으로 중화되어 폐기되고 있다. 이 과정에서 막분리 공정을 적용할 경우 희소금속을 친환경적이면서 효율적으로 회수할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 폴리아 미드 계면중합을 위하여 다공성 지지막 위에 방향족 아민모노머와 트리메조일 클로라이드를 사용하여 산에 안정한 폴리아미드 나노여과막을 제조하였고, 제조 된 막의 투과분리 성능에 대하여 살펴보았다. 그리고 제조된 분리막이 내산성을 가지는지 평가하기 위하여 15 wt%의 황산용액에 침지하여 일별 투과수량 및 이온제거율을 측정하였다.
