당뇨병 환자의 혈당치 측정을 위하여 메톡시에톡시기와 트라이플루오르에톡시기가 함께 치환된 포스파젠 고분자를 기초로 한 새로운 형태의 진단막을 제조하였다. 플라즈마와 혈액속의 글루코우즈의 농도를 변화시켜가며 활성화 된 폴리포스파젠 진단막을 가지고 680 nm에서의 최종흡광도를 측정하였다. 시간에 따른 흡광도 변화량(K/S)의 최종 결과치가 글루코우즈의 농도가 증가함에 따라 직선적으로 증가하였다. 친수성기와 소수성기의 치환율이 글루코우즈의 농도 측정에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 친수성기의 치환율이 증가함에 따라 글루코우즈의 농도와 K/S와의 기울기 값(Dose-Response Slope : DRS)이 점차 증가하였다. 그러나 친수성기의 치환율이 30% 이상일 경우에는 DRS가 급격히 증가하여 정확한 글루코우즈의 농도 측정이 어려웠다.

PrBa0.9Sr0.1Co2O5+δ 조성의 산화물을 고상반응법을 이용하여 합성하였다. 합성된 분말은 압축 성형 후 1,250℃에서 소결하여 치밀한 세라믹 분리막을 제조하였다. 제조된 PrBa0.9Sr0.1Co2O5+δ분리막은 XRD분석 결과 이중 페롭스카이트 (double perovskite)구조를 보였다. 밀봉재료로는 pyrex ring을 사용하여 가스누출 실험 및 산소투과 분석을 하였다. 산소투과량 분석은 850~950℃범위에서 측정되었다. 산소투과실험 결과, 투과량은 온도증가에 따라 0.15에서 0.32mL/㎠·min로 증가하였다.

Optimum preparation conditions for chicken head soup base were determined in terms of the effects of amount of chicken head and cooking time using response surface methodology based on sensory properties. Sensory properties that were evaluated were yellowness, turbidity, bloody, chicken-brothy, organ meat-like, and fat-like flavor. All values of sensory characteristics increased remarkably with an increase in the amount of chicken head and cooking time. The optimum amount of chicken head and cooking time were determined to be 1800 g and 150 minutes, respectively. Chicken head soup base had less fat, free amino acids, nucleotides, and its derivatives, but had significantly more cholesterol, sodium, and iron than whole chicken soup base. In flavor compound analysis, the amount of hexanal of the chicken head soup base, which is related to fat rancidity flavor, was 11-fold higher than that of the whole chicken soup base.

Conducting polymer-coated multiwalled carbon nanotubes (MWCNTs) were prepared by template polymerization in order to enhance their gas sensitivity. This investigation of the conducting polymer phases that formed on the surface of the MWCNTs is based on field-emission scanning electron microscopy images. The thermal stability of the conducting polymer-coated MWCNTs was significantly improved by the high thermal stability of MWCNTs. The synergistic effects of the conducting polymer-coated MWCNTs improve the gas-sensing properties. MWCNTs coated with polyaniline uniformly show outstanding improvement in gas sensitivity to NH3 due to the synergistic combination of efficient adsorption of NH3 gas and variation in the conduction of electrons.

The goal of the present work was to investigate the development of a geopolymeric ceramic material from a mixture of mine residue, coal fly ash, blast furnace slag, and alkali activator solution by the geopolymer technique. The results showed that the higher compressive strength of geopolymeric ceramic material increased with an increase in active filler (blast furnace slag + coal fly ash) contents and with a reduction of mine residue contents. The geopolymeric ceramic had very high early age strength. The compressive strength of the geopolymeric ceramic depended on the added active filler content. The maximum compressive strength of the geopolymeric ceramic containing 20 wt.% mine residue was 141.2 MPa. The compressive strength of geopolymeric ceramic manufactured by adding mine residue was higher than that of portland cement mortar, which is 60 MPa, when cured for 28 days. SEM observation showed the possibility of having amorphous aluminosilicate gel within geopolymeric ceramic. XRD patterns indicate that the geopolymeric ceramic was composed of amorphous aluminosilicate, calcite, quartz, and muscovite. The Korea Standard Leaching Test (KSLT) was used to determine the leaching potential of the geopolymeric ceramic. The amounts of heavy metals were noticeably reduced after the solidification of mine residue with active filler.

Nano-indium-coated ZnO:In thick films were prepared by a hydrothermal method. ZnO:In gas sensors were fabricated by a screen printing method on alumina substrates. The gas sensing properties of the gas sensors were investigated for hydrocarbon gas. The effects of the indium concentration of the ZnO:In gas sensors on the structural and morphological properties were investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscopy. XRD patterns revealed that the ZnO:In with wurtzite structure was grown with (1 0 0), (0 0 2), and (1 0 1) peaks. The quantity of In coating on the ZnO surface increased with increasing In concentration. The sensitivity of the ZnO:In sensors was measured for 5 ppm CH4 gas and CH3CH2CH3 gas at room temperature by comparing the resistance in air with that in target gases. The highest sensitivity to CH4 gas and CH3CH2CH3 gas of the ZnO:In sensors was observed at the In 6 wt%. The response and recovery times of the 6 wt% indiumcoated ZnO:In gas sensors were 19 s and 12 s, respectively.

본 연구는 고내구성을 가진 고분자 전해질 막을 제조하는 것으로 연료전지에 적용하기 위하여 poly(vinyl alcohol)를 주쇄부로 하여 poly(styrene sulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) (PSSA-MA)와 3-(trihydroxysilyl)-1-propanesulfonic acid (THS-PSA)를 polyethylene막에 함침시켜 막을 제조하였다. 제조된 막을 함수율, 접촉각, FT-IR, 수소이온전도도, 탄성계수 등의 측정을 통해 친수성 고분자가 함침된 막의 특성평가를 실시하였다. FT-IR 분석과 접촉각 측정을 통해 PE막에 함친된 막에서 친수성기의 유무를 확인하였다. 수소이온전도도를 측정한 결과 30% THS-PSA의 막이 55℃에서 1.27×10 ­1S/㎝의 값을 나타내어 우수한 수소이온전도도를 나타내었으며, 탄성계수의 측정을 통해 polyethylene막에 비하여 THS-PSA가 함침된 막의 기계적 강도가 15%까지는 최대 7배까지 향상되어 막의 내구성이 향상되었음을 확인하였다.

Alloys of nylon(PA6) and ethylene-propylene-diene polymer, modified with maleic anhydride(MEPDM) were prepared using a melt kneading process. This study focuses on the effects of the content of MEPDM in PA6 blend on the mechanical and thermal properties of such blends where MEPDM is the dispersed phase. Mechanical properties were examined by stress-strain measurements and impact strength test. Both impact strength of PA6/MEPDM at room temperature and at -20℃ were improved up to 400-550% with the amounts of MEPDM. However, PA6/MEPDM containing 3-5 wt% of MEPDM showed the about 700kgf/m2 of the maximum tensile strength but 8.5 % of the lowest elongation. For certain compositions of PA6 with rubbery MEPDM, the interesting reduction of elongation is caused by the reaction of the polyamide amine end groups with maleic anhydride portion in MEPDM, that provided a reinforcement in the PA6 matrix. In addition, the introduction of antistatic agent on the surface of alloys causes significant reduction of their surface electrostatic resistance.

기질 고분자인 sulfonated PEEK (sPEEK)와 가교제(cross-linking reagent) 4,4'-ethyldianiline (EdAn), 그래프트제(grafting reagent) 2-phenylethylamine (PEA)을 용매 dimethylacetamide (DMAc)에 녹여 용매증발법을 이용하여 제막하였다. 이민화 반응(imination)과 술폰화(sulfonation) 과정을 거쳐 최종 이온교환막인 cross-linked and grafted sPEEK (CG-sPEEK)막을 제조하였다. FT-IR 분석을 통해 술폰화 및 이민화 반응여부를 확인할 수 있었다. Proton conductivity와 water uptake, volume change를 측정하여 상용화된 Nafion115와 비교함으로써 이온교환막으로서의 활용가능성을 평가하였다. 제조된 CG-sPEEK막의 proton conductivity (0.17 S/cm) 값이 Nafion115 (0.10 S/cm) 보다 우수하게 나타나 이온교환막으로서의 적용가능성을 보여주었다. 다만 높은 water uptake (130%)는 CG-sPEEK의 치수안정성을 위해서 저감시킬 필요가 있다.

In general, the blood cell culture is a common method for animal chromosome preparation. However, every animal and its cells have unique physiological characteristics and functions. Hence, it is very difficult to find the suitable method of chromosome preparation using animal lymphocyte culture. This study was carried out to find the suitable method of chromosome preparation using lymphocytes cultures in mammalians and aves including cattle, rat, mouse and chicken. To seek the optimal method of lymphocyte culture in each animal, 23 factorial experiment was designed. The design evaluated three main effects in culture duration, kinds of mitogen supplements and colcemid exposure time with two levels within each effect. The mitotic index and the score of chromosome morphology were analyzed. In results, the suitable methods of lymphocyte culture for chromosome preparation were 72 hours culture, pokeweed mitogen(PWM) supplement and 90 minutes of colcemid exposure in cattle, 72 hours culture, PWM supplement and 50 minutes of colcemid exposure in chicken, 96 hours culture, concanavalin A supplement and 90 minutes of colcemid exposure in rat, and 72 hours culture, PWM supplement and 50 minutes of colcemid exposure in mouse, respectively. In conclusion, kinds of mitogen, culture duration and colcemid exposure time significantly affected the mitotic index and chromosome morphology in animal lymphocyte culture. The interaction effects between/among treatment factors were also statistically significant.

Poly(vinyl chloride)-g-poly(oxyethylene methacrylate) (PVC-g-POEM) 가지형 공중합체를 원자전달라디칼 중합을 통해 합성하여 전기변색소자의 전해질에 적용하였다. 가소화된 고분자 전해질은 가소제로서 propylene carbonate (PC)/ethylene carbonate (EC) 혼합물을 도입하여 제조하였으며, Lithium tetrafluoroborate (LiBF4), lithium perchlorate (LiCIO4), lithium iodide (LiI) and lithium bistrifluoromethanesulfonimide (LiTFSI)를 사용하여 염의 종류에 따른 영향을 조사하였다. 광각 x-선 산란(WAXS)과 시차주사 열량법(DSC) 측정 결과 고분자 전해질의 구조와 유리전이온도(Tg)가 변하였고, 이는 POEM 내의 에테르의 산소와 리튬염 사이의 상호작용으로 인해 변했다는 것을 FT-IR 분광법을 통하여 확인하였다. 투과전자현미경(TEM) 측정 결과 PVC-g-POEM 가지형 공중합체의 미세상분리 구조가 PC/EC와 리튬염의 도입에도 변하지 않는 것을 관찰하였다. 가소화된 고분자 전해질은 poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) 전도성 고분자를 이용한 전기변색소자에 적용되었다.

쌀단백질을 효소분해하여 제조한 배양액으로 천연조미소재로 사용할 효모추출물을 제조하기 위한 최적 공정조건을 조사하였다. 쌀단백질(5%, w/w)을 단백분해효소인 Delvolase®로 효소분해한 상등분획에 3%(w/w) 수준으로 포도당을 첨가한 배지 조건이 가장 적절하였으며 이 조건에서 2.3 g/L의 효모를 회수하였다. 회수한 효모에는 RNA가 188.1 mg/g수준으로 함유되어 있었으며 GMP 및 IMP는 각각 650.33±48 μg/g, 69±21 μg/g 함유되어 있었다. 이와 같은 효모추출물에 효모배양액의 제조 후 남은 쌀단백질 잔사의 효소분해물(Rrh)을 혼합하면 감칠맛이 상승하였는데 미각센서 분석기로 측정한 결과 효모추출물의 감칠맛이 4.88에서 Rrh의 첨가 후에는 9.25로 증가하였으며 관능검사에서도 감칠맛의 증가를 확인할 수 있었다. 이와 같이 효모추출물에 쌀단백질 잔사의 효소분해물이 추가되면 효소분해 과정 중 생성된 다양한 맛 성분으로 인해 감칠맛이 상승되어 전체적인 기호도가 높아지므로 천연조미소재로서의 활용이 가능함을 알 수 있었다.

In this study, by using tin chloride solution as a raw material, a nano-sized tin oxide powder with an average particle size below 50 nm is generated by a spray pyrolysis process. The properties of the generated tin oxide powder depending on the inflow speed of the raw material solution are examined. When the inflow speed of the raw material solution is 2 ml/min, the majority of generated particles appear in the shape of independent polygons with average size above 80-100 nm, while droplet-shaped particles show an average size of approximately 30 nm. When the inflow speed is increased to 5 ml/min, the ratio of independent particles decreases, and the average particle size is approximately 80-100 nm. When the inflow speed is increased to 20 ml/min, the ratio of droplet-shaped particles increases, whereas the ratio of independent particles with average size of 80-100 nm decreases. When the inflow speed is increased to 100 ml/min, the average size of the generated particles is around 30-40 nm, and most of them maintain a droplet shape. With a rise of inflow speed from 2 ml/min to 5 ml/min, a slight increase of the XRD peak intensity and a minor decrease of specific surface area are observed. When the inflow speed is increased to 20 ml/min, the XRD peak intensity falls dramatically, although a significant rise of specific surface area is observed. When the inflow speed is increased to 100 ml/min, the XRD peak intensity further decreases, while the specific surface area increases.

Two pitches with different average molecular structures were electrospun and compared in terms of the properties of their fibers after oxidative stabilization, carbonization, and activation. The precursor with a higher molecular weight and greater content of aliphatic groups (Pitch A) resulted in better solubility and spinnability compared to that with a lower molecular weight and lower aliphatic group content (Pitch B). The electrical conductivity of the carbon fiber web from Pitch A of 67 S/cm was higher than that from Pitch B of 52 S/cm. The carbon fiber web based on Pitch A was activated more readily with lower activation energy, resulting in a higher specific surface area compared to the carbon fiber based on Pitch B (Pitch A, 2053 m2/g; Pitch B, 1374 m2/g).

Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) have high Young's modulus, low density, and excellent electrical and thermal properties, which make them ideal fillers for polymer composites. Homogeneous dispersion of CNTs in a polymer matrix plays a crucial role in the preparation of polymer composites based on interfacial interactions between CNTs and the polymer matrix. The addition of a small amount of CNTs strongly improves the electrical, thermal, and mechanical properties of the composites. This paper aims to review the processing technology and improvement of properties of CNT-reinforced polymer composites.

[ Zn2(1-x)MnxSiO4 ]0.07≤x≤0.15) green phosphor was prepared by solid state reaction. The first heating was at 900˚C-1250˚C in air for 3 hours and the second heating was at 900˚C in N2/H2(95%/5%) for 2 hours. The size effect of SiO2 in forming Zn2SiO4 was investigated. The temperature for obtaining single phase Zn2SiO4 was lowered from 1100˚C to 1000˚C by decreasing the SiO2 particle size from micro size to submicro size. The effect of the activators for the Photoluminescence (PL) intensity of Zn2SiO4:Mn2+ was also investigated. The PL intensity properties of the phosphors were investigated under vacuum ultraviolet excitation (147 nm). The emission spectrum peak was between 520 nm and 530 nm, which was involved in green emission area. MnCl2·4H2O, the activator source, was more effective in providing high emission intensity than MnCO3. The optimum conditions for the best optical properties of Zn2SiO4:Mn2+ were at x = 0.11 and 1100˚C. In these conditions, the phosphor particle shape was well dispersed spherical and its size was 200 nm.

Consequently, a homogeneous Co phase could be developed without second phase when the ratio exceeded 7.

ZnO nanorods for gas sensors were prepared by a hydrothermal method. The ZnO gas sensors were fabricated on alumina substrates by a screen printing method. The gas-sensing properties of the ZnO nanorods were investigated for CH4 gas. The effects of growth time on the structural and morphological properties of the ZnO nanorods were investigated by X-ray diffraction and scanning electron microscope. The XRD patterns of the nanocrystallized ZnO nanorods showed a wurtzite structure with the (002) predominant orientation. The diameter and length of the ZnO nanorods increased in proportion to the growth time. The sensitivity of the ZnO sensors to 5 ppm CH4 gas was investigated for various growth times. The ZnO sensors exhibited good sensitivity and rapid response-recovery characteristics to CH4 gas, and both traits were dependent on the growth time. The highest sensitivity of the ZnO sensors to CH4 gas was observed with the growth time of 7 h. The response and recovery times were 13 s and 6 s, respectively.
