The electrocatalytic oxidation of CO was studied using carbon-supported 20 wt% PtRu (PtRu/C) catalysts, which were prepared with different Pt : Ru atomic ratios from 7 : 3 to 3 : 7 using a colloidal method combined with a freeze-drying procedure. The bimetallic PtRu/C catalysts were characterized by various physicochemical analyses, including X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS), and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). CO stripping voltammetry measurements indicated that the addition of Ru with a Pt catalyst significantly improved the electrocatalytic activity for CO electrooxidation. Among the tested catalysts, the $Pt_5Ru_5/C$ catalyst had the lowest onset potential (vs.Ag/AgCl) and the largest CO EAS. Structural modification via lattice parameter change and electronic modification in the unfilled d band states for Pt atoms may facilitate the electrooxidation of CO.

Poly(acrylonitrile)(PAN) solutions in dimethylformamide(DMF) were electrospun to prepare webs consisting of 400nm ultra-fine fibers. The webs were oxidatively stabilized, activated by steam and resulted to be activated carbon fibers(ACFs). The specific surface area was $800\~1230 m^2/g$, which showed a trend of a decrease of the surface area with an increase in activation temperature, showing opposite behavior to the other ACFs. The activation energy of the stabilized fibers for the steam activation was determined as 29.2 kJ/mol to be relatively low indicating the easier activation than that of other carbonized fibers. The ACF webs were characterized by pore size and specific surface uea which would be related to the specific capacitance of the electrical double layer capacitor (EDLC). The specific capacitances measured were 27 F/g, 25 F/g, 22 F/g at the respective activation temperature of $700^{circ}C,\;750^{\circ}C\;800^{\circ}C$, showing similar trend with the specific surface area i.e., the higher activation temperature was, the lower specific capacitance resulted.

Oxidtion behavior of $Si_{3}N_{4}$ ceramics with the different porosity by the Nitrided Pressureless Sintering (NPS) were investigated in pure oxygen gas atmosphere at 1000 to $1300^{circ}C$. The thickness of formed oxide film on the surface of silicon nitride ceramics was increased with oxidation time and temperature. The oxide film thickness of 5A5Y5Si and 5A5Y10Si specimens for 100 h at 1300^{circ}C$ was about 10 $\mu$m and 20 $\mu$m, respectively. The oxidation of 5A5Y5Si and 5A5Y10Si specimens follows the parabolic behavior with an apparent activation energy of 215 kJ/mol and 104 kJ/mol, respectively. The flexural strength of 5A5Y5Si specimens after oxidation test for 500 h at 1300^{circ}C were maintained as-received value of 500 ma. On the other hand, that of 5A5Y10Si specimens were decreased about 100 MPa in as-received value.

기술기준의 개발은 원자로형의 공급국가에 따라 다양한 형태의 기술기준 적용으로 파생되는 국 산화 및 기술자립지연 등 문제를 해결하기 위하여 개발하고 있다. 일반기계기기는 전력생산과 직접 관련되면서도 ASME Sec. III의 적용을 받는 원자력기계기기와는 달리 구별되나 화력발전 용과는 사용조건이 다를 뿐 기능과 역할이 동일하다. 따라서 국내실정에 적합하면서 우수한 기 술성과 안전성을 확보할 수 있도록 일반기계기기의 기술기준을 개발하여 향후 국내 주도로 건 설되는 원전후속기 및 화력발전소에 점진적으로 활용함으로써 원전산업뿐만 아니라 화력발전산 업의 활성화에도 크게 기여해야 할 것으로 생각된다. 또한, 보일러, 터빈발전기 및 전기집진기등 금번에 기술기준개발 범위에서 제외된 기기의 기술기준도 개발하여 일반기계기기로 분류된 기 기의 실질적인 기술자립을 꾀하고 금번기술기준 제정 한 번으로 끝날 것이 아니라 기술기준의 유지관리를 위한 전담기구를 설립하여 기술기준을 지속적인 보완과 확대로 기술자립을 앞당 겨야 할 것으로 사료된다.

The electrical conductivity of solid electrolyte $RbAg_4I_5$ single crystal was studied at various temperatures. The four-probe method was used in measuring the conductance with an ac signal imposed on the specimen. The ionic conductivity was $0.284 ohm^{-1} cm^{-1}\;at\;25^{\circ}C$, and the activation energy for $Ag^+$ ion migration was calulated to be 1.70 kcal/mole. These values agree well with those reported for polycrystalline samples. Reactions at $Ag/RbAg_4I_5$ interface were studied by cyclic voltammetry with a silver reference electrode. It was found that silver ion is reversibly reduced at silver surfaces below zero volt, and iodide was oxidized above +0.67 volt.The anodic current arising from the oxidation of the electrode was small in magnitude initially over a wide range of potential, but, after silver was cathodically deposited on the electrode, reversing the potential sweep to the anodic direction resulted in a sharp peak of anodic current.

Background : The present study was carried out in association with neutrophilic respiratory burst in the lung in order to clarify the pathogenesis of acute respiratory distress syndrome(ARDS) following acute severe hemorrhage. Because oxidative stress has been suggested as one of the principal factors causing tissue injury, the role of free radicals from neutrophils was assessed in acute hemorrhage-induced lung injury. Method : In Sprague-Dawley rats, hemorrhagic shock was induced by withdrawing blood(20 ml/kg of B.W) for 5 min and the hypotensive state was sustained for 60 min. To determine the mechanism and role of oxidative stress associated with phospholipase A2(PLA2) by neutrophils, the level of lung leakage, pulmonary myeloperoxidase(MPO), and the pulmonary PLA2 were measured. In addition, the production of free radicals was assessed in isolated neutrophils by cytochemical electron microscopy in the lung. Results : In hypotensive shock-induced acute lung injury, the pulmonary MPO, the level of lung leakage and the production of free radicals were higher. The inhibition of PLA2 with mepacrine decreased the pulmonary MPO, level of lung leakage and the production of free radicals from neutrophils. Conclusion : A. neutrophilic respiratory burst is responsible for the oxidative stress causing acute lung injury followed by acute, severe hemorrhage. PLA2 activation is the principal cause of this oxidative stress.

This study investigated the effect of addition of zirconia(zirconium oxide) powder on the curing behavior of phenolic resins. The heating rate controlled curing and isothermal curing behaviors of the phenol resin according to the content of the zirconia powder were analyzed. The viscosity and thermal decomposition characteristics of the phenolic resin with the zirconia content were also examind. From the DSC analysis, the degree of cure and the rate of cure were obtained. Finally, the activation energy for the cure reaction were calculated from the DSC data of the zirconia added phenolic resin. As a found, the higher the zirconia content, the longer the curing was delayed and the greater the activation energy required for curing. Additionally, the TGA result that as the content of zirconia increased, less weight loss was observed. The surface tackiness of the Carbon/Phenol prepreg was partially changed according to the zirconia content, but had no significant effect.
