In this paper, immobilization of lipase (Rhizomucor miehei, Rhm) onto ion-exchange resin pretreated with oleic acid and its application were studied. Immobilization efficiency was reached to 82% when weakly basic anion exchange resin, Duolite A-568, was used. Immobilized Rhm was stable in water, chloroform and hexane, however, unstable in alcoholic solvents. When immobilized Rhm was applied to the esterification reaction of glycerol and fatty acid, content of DG in the product mixture was ca. 80 mol% and 1,3-DG in total DG reached to 98%.

Non-aqueous processes have been developed for stable management and reuse of spent fuels. Nowadays, a plan for the management of spent fuel is being sought focusing on a non-aqueous process in Korea. Named as pyroprocessing, it includes an electrolytic reduction process using molten salt at high temperature for the spent fuels, which provides metallic product for a following electro-refining process. The electrolytic reduction process utilizes electrochemical reaction producing Li to convert oxides into metals in high temperature LiCl medium. Various kinds of elements in the spent fuels would be distributed in the system according to their respective reactivity with the reductant, Li, and the medium, LiCl. This study elucidates the reactions of the elements to understand the behavior of composite elements on the spent fuels by thermodynamic calculations. Uranium and transuranic are reduced into their metallic forms while rare-earth oxides, except for Eu, are stable against the reaction at a process temperature. This study also covers the tendency of reactions with respect to the temperature and, finally, estimates radioactivity and heat load on the distributed phases based on the reference spent fuel characteristics.

This study has attempted to use ozone for the treatment of skin diseases as research results that ozonated olive oil has an excellent therapeutic effect on skin diseases are known. However, there is hardly any accurate data in Korea. Usually, animal tests related to cosmetics are not performed, but toxicity tests were conducted because they were absolutely necessary. In general, there are not many cases of measuring actual data through animal tests for the purpose of confirming the performance of cosmetics, but in the case of toxicity tests, it is recommended to accurately measure skin reactions, so this experiment was conducted. In this experiment, in order to evaluate the skin irritation of ozonated oil (high concentration) on the rabbit, the test substance was applied to the back of the rabbit for 24 hours, and then mortality, general symptoms and skin irritation were evaluated. Experimental Results As a result of evaluating the treatment site of the test substance after a certain period of time, no skin irritation was observed in all animals.

We investigated the electrochemical properties and microstructure on the various argon deposition pressure $(P_{Ar})$ and the low annealing temperature $(400^{\circ}C)$ of $LiCoO_2$ cathodes, which deposited by R.F. magnetron sputtering. The microsuucture and composition of Lico02 thin film was changed as a function of $P_{Ar}$. The capacity and electrochemical properties were improved with Ph of $LiCoO_2$ thin films. The cycling reversibility and stability of thin film batteries were measured by cyclic voltammetry and the constant current charge-discharge. The physical properties of cathode films were analyzed by ICP-AES, XRD, SEM and AFM for composition, crystallization and surface morphology.

The synthesis and characterization of amorphous calcium phosphate (ACP) nanoparticles were reported in this work. We show that relatively monodisperse ACP nanoparticles with a size of sub-100 nm can be prepared by a hydrothermal reaction of calcium chloride ($CaCl_2$) and disodium adenosine triphosphate ($Na_2ATP$) in the presence of sodium phytate as an additive. Their compositions and structures were confirmed using a series of material characterization techniques. Our results exhibit that ACP nanoparticles synthesized using sodium phytate enhanced the stability of maintaining their amorphous nature and prevented from a conversion to crystalline hydroxyapatite (HAP). ACP nanoparticles with the improved stability have potential uses in biomaterial applications in regenerative medicine.

In this study, double bond, unsaturated group was introduced to the main chain of EVA by chemically treating EVA, nondiene polymer. Benzene sulfonic acid, ENB and DCPD were used as a third element. Also, from blending CR and SBR, conventional synthetic rubber we prepared vulcanizates and examined their physical properties. The datum lead to the following conclusion that some problems were modified; limited temperature in use and mechanical properties like hardness, tensile strength, tensile stress, and elongation rate of thermoplastic EVA, keeping the following advantages of original EVA; green strength, injection molding by Pressure, adhesion, tackiness, dimensional stability, and ozone resistance, etc. It is expected that continuous research of the modification between nondiene and diene polymer will improve what were shown disadvantages in synthetic polymer; processing, oxidation resistance, and adhesion. In addition, it will be possible to continue process of rubber products by utilizing possible fluidity for fusion of EVA.

현대 디지털 사회에서 고효율 에너지와 파워소스에 관한 요구가 커짐에 따라 차세대 에너지 저장 소자에 대한 연구가 계속되고 있다. 그 중 리튬이온 배터리, 슈퍼커패시터, 그리고 연료 전지들이 우리의 일상생활에서 점점 더 중요하게 자리잡아가고 있는데 이런 다양한 에너지 저장소자 중 슈퍼커패시터가 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 이는 긴 수명, 빠른 충-방전 속도, 높은 에너지 밀도, 그리고 안전함 때문이다. 슈퍼커패시터는 에너지 저장 메커니즘에 따라 두 가지로 분류될 수 있는데 전기이중층 커패시터(EDLC)와 슈도커패시터(pseudocapacitor)로 나누어질 수 있다. 슈도커패시터는 active 물질과 전해질 이온 간의 전기화학적 반응으로 인해 EDLC보다 더 많은 에너지를 저장할 수 있다. 그러므로 지금까지 새로운 형태의 슈도용량성 물질을 만들기 위한 노력이 집중되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 전기화학적증착 방법을 통해 graphene-like ${\beta}$-nickel hydroxide (${\beta}-Ni(OH)_2$) 나노판 구조를 전도성 직물에 합성하였다. ${\beta}-Ni(OH)_2$ 슈도커패시터의 유연하고 효율적인 비용의 전극으로서 높은 비정전용량, 우수한 전기화학 가역성, 그리고 뛰어난 사이클 안정성을 보였다. 이런 쉬운 방법으로 유연한 전도성 직물에 합성된 metal hydroxide/oxide 나노구조는 웨어러블 에너지 저장소자와 변환소자 분야에 사용될 것으로 기대된다.

초전도케이블의 기술적 경제적 타당성에 대한 논의가 계속 진행되고 있는 가운데 이를 검증하기 위한 실계통 시험이 미국, 중국 및 일본을 포함한 주요 선진국들에서 이루어지고 있다. (1) 대용량 송전 및 절연성능 측면에서 장점을 가지고 있는 초전도케이블이 실제계통에서 적용한 예가 지금까지 많지 않은 이유는 막대한 초기투자 비용과 함께 신기술 도입에 따른 기술적 신뢰성 확보를 꼽을 수 있다. 특히 케이블 자체의 전기적 특성과 함께 냉각시스템의 신뢰성은 초전도케이블 기술의 상용화를 위해서 반드시 확보되어야 하며 냉각시스템의 고효율와 함께 장기운전에 따른 냉각시스템의 안정성 및 기기적 특징들이 우선적으로 파악되어야 할 것이다. 본 논문에서는 냉각시스템의 신뢰성을 검증하기 위한 실험의 일환으로 전류와 냉각시스템에 내장되어 있는 히터를 이용하여 열부하를 동시에 인가, 냉각시스템의 냉각용량 과부하 상태를 모의하여 냉각시스템의 반응성을 평가하였다.

최근 자동차 배기가스 규제 및 전기자동차, 무인항공기 개발 등의 경량 소재에 대한 필요성이 지속적으로 증가하고 있다. 마그네슘 및 마그네슘 합금은 구조용 금속 소재 중 가장 밀도가 낮은 금속으로서 자동차, 항공, 기계 부품류 및 주방용품이나 전자제품 케이스류 등 다양한 산업분야에서 활용성이 크게 증가하고 있다. 하지만 마그네슘 합금은 화학적 반응성이 매우 크고 표면에 존재하는 피막의 치밀성과 화학적 안정성이 낮아서 쉽게 부식되는 단점이 있다. 따라서 내식성 향상을 위한 표면처리 기술 개발에 대한 필요성이 증대되고 있다. 양극 산화법은 금속표면에 양극 전류를 인가하여 산화피막을 인위적으로 형성시켜줌으로써 내식성을 향상시켜 주는 방법으로서 산업적으로 널리 사용되고 있는 표면처리 방법 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 주석산나트륨의 농도에 따른 AZ31 마그네슘 합금의 양극 산화 피막 형성 거동을 연구하였다. DC 전류를 인가하여 양극산화 피막을 형성하였으며, 피막형성 전압 및 형성된 피막의 두께, 표면 거칠기 및 피막의 구조 등을 분석하여 주석산나트륨 농도에 따른 양극산화 피막의 형성 특성에 대하여 자세하게 고찰하였다.

We report on the field emission properties from vertically aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) produced by a triode PECVD with a SiNx capping layer on metal catalyst. It is found that the CNTs density can be controlled by the capping layer thickness and decreases with increasing SiNx thickness. The CNT density of $\~$ 104/$cm^{2}$ exhibited highest electron emission characteristics, the threshold field of 1.2 V/$\mu$m and the current density of 0.17 mA/$cm^{2}$ at 3.6 V/$\mu$m. We have carried out investigation of electron emission stability under ambient gas of N2. The electron emission stability was improved with decreasing CNT density. Under $1\times$$10^{-5}$ Torr ambient pressure, the CNTs in 5 $\mu$m hole show electron emission current higher than $1\times$$10^{-4}$ A/cm2 and it's electron emission uniformity has $2\%$.
