This paper presents the reversible electrolysis characteristics of a solid oxide fuel cell (SOFC) using a $10{\times}10cm^2$ anode supported planar cell with an active area of $81cm^2$. In this work, current-voltage characteristic test and reversible electrolysis cycle test were carried out sequentially for 2,114 hours at a furnace temperature of $700^{\circ}C$. The current-voltage characteristics for reversible electrolysis mode was measured at a current of ${\pm}26.7A$ under various $H_2O$ utilization conditions. The reversible electrolysis cycle was performed 50 times at a current of ${\pm}32.4A$. As a result, The performance degradation of SOEC mode was larger than that of SOFC mode.

Mechanical and electrical performance of anode-supported SOFC single cells were analyzed after thermal cyclic operation. The experiments of thermal cyclic cell-operation were carried out four times and performance of each cell was measured at different temperatures of 650, 700, and $750^{\circ}C$, respectively. As increasing the number of thermal cycle test, single cells showed poor I-V characteristics and lower 4-point bending strength. The anode polarization was also measured by AC-impedance analysis. The observation of the microstructure of the anodes in single cells proved that the average particle size of Ni decreased and the porosity of anode increased. It is thought that the thermal cycle caused the degradation of performance of single cells by reducing the density of three-phase boundary region.

In the present investigation, we attempted to design a protocol to develop a hybrid protein with better bioremediation capacity. Using in silico approaches, a Hybrid Open Reading Frame (Hybrid ORF) is developed targeting the genes of microorganisms known for degradation of organophosphates. Out of 21 genes identified through BLAST search, 8 structurally similar genes (opdA, opd, opaA, pte RO, pdeA, parC, mpd and phnE) involved in biodegradation were screened. Gene conservational analysis categorizes these organophosphates degrading 8 genes into 4 super families i.e., Metallo-dependent hydrolases, Lactamase B, MPP and TM_PBP2 superfamily. Hybrid protein structure was modeled using multi-template homology modeling (3S07_A; 99%, 1P9E_A; 98%, 2ZO9_B; 33%, 2DXL_A; 33%) by $Schr{\ddot{o}}dinger$ software suit version 10.4.018. Structural verification of protein models was done using Ramachandran plot, it was showing 96.0% residue in the favored region, which was verified using RAMPAGE. The phosphotriesterase protein was showing the highest structural similarity with hybrid protein having raw score 984. The 5 binding sites of hybrid protein were identified through binding site prediction. The docking study shows that hybrid protein potentially interacts with 10 different organophosphates. The study results indicate that the hybrid protein designed has the capability of degrading a wide range of organophosphate compounds.

Thermal behavior of poly (methyl methacrylate) was analyzed in the presence of tin (IV) chloride. Five different proportions - polymer to additive - were selected for casting films from common solvent. TG, DTG and DTA were employed to monitor thermal degradation of the systems. IR and py-GC-MS helped identify the decomposition products. The blends start degrading at a temperature lower than that of the neat polymer and higher than that of the pure additive. Complex formation between tin of additive and carbonyl oxygen (pendent groups of MMA units) was noticed in the films soon after the mixing of the components in the blends. The samples were also heated at three different temperatures to determine the composition of residues left after the expulsion of volatiles. The polymer, blends and additive exhibited a one step, two-step and three-step degradation, respectively. $T_0$ is highest for the polymer, lowest for the additive and is either $60^{\circ}C$ or $70^{\circ}C$ for the blends. The amount of residue increases down the series [moving from blend-1 (minimum additive concentration) to blend-5 (maximum additive concentration)]. For blend-1, it is 7% of the original mass whereas it is 16% for blend-5. $T_{max}$ also goes up as the concentration of additive in the blends is elevated. The complexation appears to be the cause of observed stabilization. Some new products of degradation were noted apart from those reported earlier. These included methanol, isobutyric acid, acid chloride, etc. Molecular-level mixing of the constituents and "positioning effect" of the additive may have brought about the formation of new compounds. Routes are proposed for the appearance of these substances. Horizontal burning tests were also conducted on polymer and blends and the results are discussed. Activation energies and reaction orders were calculated. Activation energy is highest for the polymer, i.e., 138.9 Kcal/mol while the range for blends is from 51 to 39 Kcal/mol. Stability zones are highlighted for the blends. The interaction between the blended parts seems to be chemical in nature.

시판 중인 어린이 음료가 레진계 치면열구전색제에 미치는 물리 화학적 영향을 알아보기 위해 판매량이 높은 3종의 어린이 음료와 대조군으로 생수를 선정하였다. 제조사의 지시에 따라 레진 시편을 제작하여 시편의 초기 거칠기 값(Ra)를 측정하였고, 각 음료의 pH를 측정한 후, 레진 시편을 각각의 음료에 침지시켜 $37^{\circ}C$ 배양기에서 72시간 보관하였다. 72시간 후 레진 시편의 표면 거칠기를 측정하였고 시편 표면의 형태변화 관찰을 위해 주사전자현미경으로 관찰하였다. 레진 시편에서 용출된 단량체의 종류 및 용출량은 HPLC를 이용하여 비교 분석하였다. 생수를 제외한 모든 실험음료에 구연산이 첨가되어 있었고 어린이 음료의 평균 pH는 $3.25{\pm}0.17$로 '아이키커'에서 $3.03{\pm}0.01$로 가장 낮았고 '뽀로로'에서 $3.47{\pm}0.02$로 가장 높았다. 어린이 음료에 침지 후 시간 경과에 따른 표면 거칠기가 증가하였고 레진 시편의 표면에 기질의 탈락을 관찰하였다. 모든 실험음료에서 bis-GMA는 유출되지 않았으나 생수를 제외한 어린이 음료에서는 TEGDMA가 유출되었다. 이상의 결과 어린이 음료는 치면열구전색제의 열화와 단량체의 유리를 촉진할 수 있으며 유리된 단량체는 성장 중인 어린이에게 더 큰 영향을 미칠 수 있으므로 어린이 음료를 빈번히 음용하는 것은 주의가 필요하다.

연구개발한 고분자전해질연료전지(PEMFC)의 막과 전극합체(MEA)의 상용화를 위해서는 내구성 확보가 매우 중요하다. 정치용 PEMFC MEA의 내구평가는 정전류 조건에서 전압변화 속도를 1000시간이상 장시간 측정해야하는 문제점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 내구평가시간을 단축시키기 위해 차량용 MEA에 적용하고 있는 고분자막의 전기화학적 내구 평가 프로토콜(OCV 유지법)을 정치용 MEA 내구 평가에 적용하였다. OCV, cathode 산소, $90^{\circ}C$, 상대습도 30% 조건에서 정치용과 차량용 MEA를 각각 168시간 구동 후에 I-V, LSV, CV, 임피던스, FER 등을 측정해서 비교하였다. 열화 후 전해질 막의 내구성을 나타내는 수소투과도, OCV 변화, 이온전도도, 불소유출량 등을 모두 검토했을 때 정치용이 차량용보다 내구성이 더 좋음을 보였다. 그리고 전극열화도 정치용 MEA가 작아서 정치용 MEA가 고분자막과 전극 모두 차량용보다 내구성이 우수함을 차량용 프로토콜에 의해 짧은 시간에 평가할 수 있었다.

High speed steels (HSS) were used as cutting tools and wear parts, because of high strength, wear resistance, and hardness together with an appreciable toughness and fatigue resistance. Conventional manufacturing process for production of components with HSS was used by casting. The powder metallurgy techniques were currently developed due to second phase segregation of conventional process. The powder injection molding method (PIM) was received attention owing to shape without additional processes. The experimental specimens were manufactured with T42 HSS powders (59 vol%) and polymer (41 vol%). The metal powders were prealloyed water-atomised T42 HSS. The green parts were solvent debinded in normal n-Hexane at $60^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours and thermal debinded at $N_2-H_2$ mixed gas atmosphere for 14 hours. Specimens were sintered in $N_2$, $H_2$ gas atmosphere and vacuum condition between 1200 and $1320^{\circ}C$. In result, polymer degradation temperatures about optimum conditions were found at $250^{\circ}C$ and $480^{\circ}C$. After sintering at $N_2$ gas atmosphere, maximum hardness of 310Hv was observed at $1280^{\circ}C$. Fine and well dispersed carbide were observed at this condition. But relative density was under 90%. When sintering at $H_2$ gas atmosphere, relative density was observed to 94.5% at $1200^{\circ}C$. However, the low hardness was obtained due to decarbonization by hydrogen. In case of sintering at the vacuum of $10^{-5}$ torr at temperature of $1240^{\circ}C$, full density and 550Hv hardness were obtained without precipitation of MC and $M_6C$ in grain boundary.

Biodegradable poly (I ,4-butanediol succinate) (PBS) was synthesized from 1,4-butanediol and succinic anhydride. The glass transition temperature of poly (I, 4-butanediol succinate) was revealed at $73^{\circ}C$. The crystallization and cold crystallization of the polymers were investigated as a function of holding time in melt state, cooling rate. reheating, and molecular weight. Chain scission and/or cmsslinking did not occur in the melt state at var.ious holding times. Slower scanning rate can allow more times for nucleation, rearrangement, and packing of the polymer chain, so the onset temperature of crystallization from the melt was increased. PBS crystallized from the melt was found to have spherulitic structure. The degradation behavior of PBS was studied under basic conditions and with microorganisms using the modified ASTM method. In the basic solution. PBS lost up to 85% of its mass within two days. Based upon visual observation, the crystalline structure of films composed of larger molecular weight polymers retained their crystallinity longer than similar structures in low molecular weight samples.
