Polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) performance degrade when sulfur dioxide is present in the fuel hydrogen gas, this is referred as SO2 poisoning. This paper reveals SO2 poisoning on PEMFC cathode part by measuring electrical performance of single cell under 1 ppm and 5 ppm on SO2 gas operating. The security of SO2 poisoning depended on SO2 concentration under the best operating conditions(65℃ of cell temperature and 100% of relative humidity between anode and cathode). SO2 adsorption occured on the surface of catalyst layer on membrane electrode assembly (MEA), In addition, MEA poisoning by SO2 was cumulative but reversible. After poisoning within 5 ppm SO2 for 1hr, the electrical performance of PEMFC was found to recover up to about 93% by cyclic voltametry scan.

We are exposed to harmful bacteria and fungi all the time. We manufactured antimicrobial mat to be imposed to mats that it can prevent generation of bacteria and microorganisms, and restrict their reproduction. Infection of medical devices causes significant morbidity and mortality. For aim of this study, we measured the antimicrobial mat manufactured with N-(fluorodichlomethylthio) phthalimide-Ag complex by CCD, FT-IR and NMR. The effect of mole ratio of N-(fluorodichlomethylthio) phthalimide-Ag complex on antibacterial activity to bacteria and fungi is investigated. Reduction rate is evaluated using the Quinn method. Escherichia Coli is effectively inhibited than Staphylococcus aureus by antimicrobial mat.

In this study, the antioxidative effects and inhibitory effects on tyrosinase and elastase of Sorbus commixta (S. commixta) twig extracts were investigated. The aglycone fraction of S. commixta twig extract showed the prominent free radical (1,1-diphenyl-2-picrylhydrazyl, DPPH) scavenging activity(FSC50, 13μg/mL). Reactive oxygen species (ROS) scavenging activities of S. commixta twig extracts on ROS generated in Fe3+-EDTA/H2O2 system were investigated by the luminol-dependent chemiluminescence assay. The 50 % ethanol extract among extracts showed the most prominent ROS scavenging activity (OSC50, 0.189μg/mL). The cellular protective effects of extract/fractions of S. commixta twig on the rose-bengal sensitized photohemolysis of human erythrocytes were investigated. The 50 % ethanol extract and ethyl acetate fraction showed the cellular protective effects against ROS in a concentration dependent manner (5~50μg/mL). The inhibitory effect of S. commixta twig extract on tyrosinase was investigated to assess the whitening efficacy. The ethyl acetate (IC50, 113.2μg/mL) and aglycone fraction(IC50, 105.3μg/mL) on tyrosinase showed more remarkable inhibitory effect than arbutin(IC50, 226.88μg/mL), known as the whitening agent. The inhibitory effect of aglycone fraction (IC50, 6.9μg/mL) on elastase was simillar to quercetin(IC50, 6.1μg/mL), flavonoid known as reference compound. These results indicate that extract/fractions of S. commixta twig can function as antioxidants in biological systems, particularly skin exposed to UV radiation by scavenging 1O2 and other ROS, and protect cellular membranes against ROS. S. commixta twig extracts can be applicable to new functional cosmetics for anti-aging products.

It is known that the content of saturated fatty acids methyl ester (SFAME) affect the pour point of biodiesel at low temperature. In this study, biodiesel (BD) was produced from beef tallow (TAL) by alkali catalyst. To reduce the saturation in BD, acetone fractionation was applied. Besides, TAL was also solvent-fractionated to reduce the saturated fatty acid (SFA) content for further producing BD. With acetone, TAL or TAL methyl ester (5:1 v/w) were fractionated at 10, 0, -10, and -15℃, respectively. At -10℃, 17.35% of SFA was observed in fractionated TAL (liquid part, -10TAL) when 5:1 solvent ratio was used for 24 hr. Under the same condition, fractionated BD (liquid part, -10BD) showed SFA (33.14%) with 78wt % yield. Also, fractionation of BD with different concentration of crystallizer 209 (0.1, 0.5, and 1%) along with different time (2, 6, 12, and 24 hr.) was observed. The best condition for reducing the SFA was 0.5% of crystallizer 209 addition for 12 hr of fractionation time at -10℃, in which 30.14% of SFA content was observed in BD (liquid part). Among different crystallizer, ps 66 showed the least content of SFA content (23.28%) in BD after fractionation (-10℃ and 24 hr) with 0.5wt% addition.

Sesame oil is a simple pressed oil as unrefined oil. During manufacturing process of roasting-expression, benzo(a)pyrene[B(a)P] formed as a strong carcinogenic substance is cause a social problem. In manufacturing process of sesame oil, it had following the forming pathway of benzo(a)pyrene[B(a)P] as well as minimizing plan of B(a)P formation. Suitable roasting condition by roaster was during 15~20min at 220℃, B(a)P content in sesame oil was 1.35~1.57μg/kg. Between roasting temperature and/or roastingtime and forming amount of B(a)P was showed a linear correlation.

The average sulfur content of crude oil is 2.2%. Coal is about 0.3 to 4.0 percent of the sulfur gases or particles being discharged into the atmosphere through the chimney as 1 to 2% SO3(Sulfur trioxide) and about 95% of the SO2 is reported. SO3 gas, which has many different causes of, as the combustion of sulfur containing fuel during the air due to the excess SO2 gas is oxidized to SO3 gas. Sulfur trioxide emitted from high sulfur heavy oil fired boiler caused white plume in stack and high temperature and cold end corrosion of facilities. So, in order to control sulfur trioxide concentration of Fuel gas in boiler, various of additives are used in other foreign. They are injected to Fuel Oil and consumed in boiler and reduce ash and the conversion rate of sulfur trioxide. In domestic, MgO compounds are used as additives but the total volume of them are made from other foreign company. In this study, MgO compounds were developed with liquid MgO compounds and field application was accomplished. The effect of newly developed chemicals and process were nearly equal to foreign products. In Consequent, the chemicals and process produced by newly developed technology can be substituted for foreign products and reduce the cost of plant operation.

Chitosan is widely used in cosmetics and medical fields. Special emphasis has been put on the chemical modification of chitosan to explore its full potential. We have described the synthesis and biological activity of novel peptide amino acid derivatives. The polyamino acid derivatives were synthesized by introducing alkylamine functional group on chitosan at C-6. The poor aqueous solubility of chitosan derivatives hinder both pharmacological studies and pharmaceutical development. To make amino acid coupled chitosan derivatives with improved biological effect and solubility, some attempts have been taken to consist of amino peptide group like aspartic acid and phenylalanine-aspartic acid derivatives onto chitosan C-6. The resultingly substituted chitosan was characterized by solubility in various solvents. We measured chitosan derivatives with 1H-NMR and 13C-NMR. Also, We were investigated on the physical properties and biological activities of these products.

Transparent liquid crystal gels with high oil content by fatty acid soap were investigated. The solubilization efficiency of the mineral oil was dependent on the process. The process of dropping water part into the solution of oil and surfactant was more efficient than the process of dropping water part into the surfactant solution and after that dropping oil. The fatty acid soap could not solubilize the high oil content, but under the certain range, addition of CDE (Coconut Diethanolamide), Arlacel 165 (Glyceryl Stearate/PEG-100 Stearate) and cetostearyl alcohol helped solubilize the high content oil. Also, the glycerin and water content had influence on the solubilization. Especially, higher oil content gel showed elastic feature.

Effects of ethylene-propylene diene monomer (EPDM)/polypropylene (PP), zinc oxide, stearic acid, and clay on the combustive properties based on EDPM/PP were investigated. The EDPM/PP/clay nanocomposites was compounded to prepare specimen for combustive analysis by cone calorimeter (ISO 5660-1). It was found that the specific mass loss rate (SMLR) in the nanocomposites decreased due to the fire resistance compared with unfilled EDPM/PP, while the nanocomposites showed the higher total heat release (THR), higher CO production release, and higher specific extinction area (SEA) than those of virgin EPDM/PP. The stearic acid for softening ruber increased the THR and amount of smoke by itself, combustible.

Compatibility and properties of PP/N66 blends with or without PP-g-MAH as a compatibilizer were investigated by DSC, SEM and universal testing machine. Morphological studies revealed that PP and N66 were incompatible and addition of PP-g-MAH was very effective to enhance the compatibility between PP and N66. The compatibilization effect between N66 and PP-g-MAH was based on the reaction between the amine end group of N66 and anhydride group in PP-g-MAH. The crystallization and melting behavior of PP/N66 blends were investigated and the results of analyses for enthalpy changed were discussed. The Izod impact strength could be improved by optimizing the compatibilizer concentration. Tensile strength, elongation at break, notched Izod impact strength were increased with using compatibilizer, however, both the compatibilized and the noncompatibilizer blends did not show any big difference in the flexural modulus.
