Ammonia gas as a hydrogen source has received great attention since the importance of hydrogen gas as a clean energy source increased. However, ammonia is toxic and corrosive to metal such that the absorbent that can store and transport ammonia became an important issue. As an effort to solve this, a large pored covalent organic framework, COF-10 was proposed as an adsorbent for storage and safe transportation of ammonia. During the ammonia adsorption process, boron in COF-10 structure can act as a Lewis acid site and bind with ammonia. In this study, COF was synthesized and its structure was identified by BET, XRD and FT-IR. The adsorption characteristics of COF were investigated by TPD and adsorption isotherm. The COF-10 showed an excellent adsorption capacity for ammonia (9.79 mmol/g) which could be utilized as an ammonia adsorbent.

We prepared non-porous membrane on the $Al_2O_3$ substrate with the different pore by the size by the plasma polymerization of $CHF_3$. We studied the permeability characteristics of membrane by Ar treatment and the effect of substrate pore size on gas permeation mechanism. The selectivity was increased with Ar plasma treatment time and rf-power near the substrate to the cathode while the permeability was decreased. It was observed that the solution-diffusion model would be applied to non-porous layers while it is applied Knudsen diffusion model to the substrate. From the experimental observation, it could be concluded that the pore size of $Al_2O_3$ membrane influenced on the permeability and the selectivity.

In this study, polymer-fluorinated silica composite hollow fiber membranes were fabricated and applied to a membrane contactor for the recovery of methane dissolved in the anaerobic effluent. To prepare the composite membranes, porous hollow fiber substrates were fabricated with Ultem^®, a commercial polyetherimide (PEI). Subsequently, fluorinated silica particles were synthesized and coated on the surface via strong covalent bonding. Due to the high porosity, our membrane showed a CH₄ flux of 8.25 × 10^-5 ㎤ (STP)/㎠·s at the liquid velocity of 0.03 m/s which is much higher that that of commercial polypropylene membrane designed for degassing processes. This is attributed to our membrane's high porosity as well as a superior surface hydrophobicity (120~122°) resulted from the coating with fluorinated silica nanoparticles.

It is necessary to measure the direct current with a non-contact methodology for the liquid or gas phase, as welt as the conducting metals. This paper described a theoretical consideration and experimental verification for a non-contact quantitative direct current measurement system using the Faraday effect and magnetic flux leakage. The leakage of magnetic flux occurs around a gap when a ferromagnetic core including the discontinuous gap is magnetized. Two large anisotropic domains in a magneto-optical film are occurred by the vertical component of leaked magnetic flux and the domain walls are paralleled to the center of the gap. Here, the symmetrical arrangement of domains are deflected when a vertical magnetic field is applied to the magneto-optical film. The domain wall of the magneto-optical film are relocated when a measuring current passes through the ferromagnetic core. Therefore, a direct current passing through the core can be determined quantitatively by the measurement of moving distance of the domain wall.

열필라멘트 화학 기상 증착 공정(HWCVD, hot wire chemical deposition)은 낮은 기판 온도에서 다결정 실리콘 박막을 빠른 속도로 증착할 수 있는 방법이다. 이는 후처리가 없어도 전기적 특성이 우수한 박막을 저온에서 얻을 수 있기 때문에 녹는점이 낮은 기판에 증착을 할 수 있으며 공정비용 절감 효과가 있다. 이러한 박막 증착 공정 중 기상 핵생성에 의해 나노 입자가 생성되며, 새로운 관점에서는 그 농도와 크기가 박막 성장에 중요한 변수로 작용한다. 따라서 공정조건의 변화에 따라 생성되는 나노 입자의 크기 분포를 실시간으로 분석하여 박막 형성의 최적 조건을 찾는 연구가 필요하다. 하지만 이러한 입자 발생 특성에 관한 연구는 기존에 밝혀진 반응 메커니즘으로 인해 수치해석적 연구는 체계적으로 진행되었으나 실험적 연구의 경우 적합한 측정장비의 부재로 인해 제한이 있었다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 저압에서 실시간으로 나노입자 분포를 측정할 수 있는 PBMS (particle beam mass spectrometer)를 이용하여 열필라멘트 화학 기상 증착 공정 중 발생하는 입자의 존재를 확인하고 특성을 분석하였다. 실리콘 나노 입자의 측정은 PBMS 장비의 전단 부분을 HWCVD 배기 라인에 연결하여 진행하였으며 반응기 내 샘플링 위치, 필라멘트 온도, 챔버 압력, 작동기체의 비율을 변수로 하여 진행하였다. 그 결과 실리콘 나노 입자는 양 또는 음의 극성을 가진 하전된 상태임을 확인 하였고, 측정 조건에 따라 일부 단일 극성으로 존재하였다. 한편, 필라멘트 온도가 증가할수록 하전된 나노입자의 최빈값은 감소하였다. 또한 반응 가스인 SiH4 농도가 증가할수록 최빈값은 농도에 비례하여 증가하였다. 이런 결과는 기존 HWCVD 실험에서 투과 전자 현미경(TEM)을 이용하여 분석한 실리콘 나노 입자의 크기 분포 결과와 경향이 일치함을 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 확인된 하전된 나노 입자의 존재를 실험적으로 확인하였으며 추후 지속적 연구에 의해 이러한 하전된 나노 입자가 박막 형성에 기여 하는 것을 규명하고 박막 형성 조건을 최적화하는데 중요한 역할을 할 것을 기대할 수 있다.

Nanofiber has been used in the field of membrane technologies such as secondary battery and water treatment fields. For the secondary battery separator, the separators having a high power and high thermal stability can be developed with spread of nanofiber on the commercial PP or PE/PP separators. High functional membranes can be also developed by adding the functional additives like antibacterial materials in the nanofiber membrane. It can be expected the high value added with nanofiber membrane because of its diverse applications from the water treatment to the energy field and because of its various functional advantages.

Dual pulse rocket motor is a variant of solid rocket motor with two propellant grain separated by a pulse separation device. The major performance of such a rocket motor is influenced by the change in the hole area of pulse separation device to nozzle throat area ratio. In this study, we performed flow analysis to investigate the internal flow characteristics according to the pulse separation device hole area to nozzle throat area ratio change. Gases used flow analysis were used combustion gas of HTPB/AP composite propellant and nitrogen gas. Flow analysis results of the dual pulse rocket motor were validated by comparison with experimental results of pneumatics. Commercial CFD code ANSYS FLUENT 14.5 is used in this study to simulate flow analysis.

In this study, we performed a design and structural analysis of a blade-shaped antenna installation on the rear fuselage of a rotary wing aircraft operated by the military. When the structure is damaged while the aircraft is in operation, it is separated from the aircraft main structure and may collide with the rotor or blades to cause the aircraft to crash. Therefore, structural safety for the modified structure must be secured. The design requirement for the newly installed modified part were established, and the load condition was constructed by applying the load that may occur in the aircraft after the modification. Structure safety for the modified structure was secured by performing structure analysis. To analysis stress and deformation of aircraft structure, we developed finite element model and verified it by using hand calculation method. We confirmed the safety of the modified structure through the final structural integrity analysis.

Recently, research on experimental and analytical techniques utilizing microfluidic devices has been pursued. For example, lab-on-a-chip devices that integrate micro-devices onto a single chip for processing small sample quantities have gained significant attention. However, during sample preparation, unnecessary gases can be introduced into the internal channels, thus, impeding device flow and compromising specific function efficiency, including that of analysis and separation. Several methods have been proposed to mitigate this issue, however, many involve cumbersome procedures or suffer from complexities owing to intricate structures. Recently, some approaches have been introduced that utilize hydrophobic device structures to remove gases within channels. In such cases, the permeability of gases passing through the structure becomes a crucial performance factor. In this study, a method involving the deposition and sintering of diluted Ag-ink onto a silicon wafer surface is presented. This is followed by unstructured nano-pattern creation using a Metal Assisted Chemical Etching (MACE) process, which yields a nanostructured surface with unstructured pillar shapes. Subsequently, gas permeability in the spaces formed by these surface structures is investigated. This is achieved by experiments conducted to incorporate a pressure chamber and measure gas permeability. Trends are subsequently analyzed by comparing the results with existing theories. Finally, it can be confirmed that the significance of this study primarily lies in its capability to effectively evaluate gas permeability through unstructured pillar-like nanostructures, thus, providing quantitative values for the appropriate driving pressure and expected gas removal time in practical device operation.
