A kinetic study was carried out for the redox reaction of cis-$[Co(en)_2(N_3)_2]^+$ with Fe(II) in acidic solution by spectrophotometric methods. This redox reaction system have been found to show a third order for overall reaction as the respective first order with respect to reactant cis-$[Co(en)_2(N_3)_2]^+$, Fe(II), and $H^+$ catalyst. The activation parameters, ${\Delta}H^{\neq}$ and ${\Delta}S^{\neq}$, were obtained as 14.2Kcal/mol and -16.7 e.u., respectively. On the basis of the kinetic data, we suggest that the redox reaction system proceeds via inner sphere mechanism. The rate equation derived from the proposed mechanism is in agreement with the observed rate equation.

The char oxidation characteristics of high ash coal were experimentally investigated at several temperatures (from 900 to $1300^{\circ}C$) for 4 types of coals (Gunvor, Glencore, Noble, and ECM) under atmospheric pressure in a drop tube furnace (DTF). The char reaction rate was calculated from the exhaust gas concentrations (CO and $CO_2$) using FT-IR, and the particle temperature was measured using the two-color method. In addition, the activation energy and pre-exponential factor for high ash coal char were calculated based on the Arrhenius equation. The results show that as the ash content increases, the particle temperature and area reactivity decreases. This is because in high ash coal, the large heat capacity of the ash, ash vaporization, and relatively low fixed carbon content of ash suppress combustibility during char oxidation. As a result, the higher ash content of coal leads to high activation energy.

Zn 산화물을 산과 공기 그리고 헬륨 각각의 분위기에서 열처리 한 후 그 각각에 대한 열광성을 $83^{\circ}~300^{\circ}K$의 온도 범위에서 연구하였다. Zn 산화물의 열광성은 90$0^{\circ}C$ 이상의 온도에서는 산소의 부분압에 의존하며 그 최대강도는 1/T에 비례하였다. 이 성질을 유발한다고 믿어지고 있는 비화학양론적인 결함으 주 요인은 2개의 전자를 trap 하는 산호 이온의 vacancy라고 믿어지고 있다. Trap된 전자의 활성화에너지는 0.13ev였다.

$Al_2O_3$, $TiO_2$, $ZrO_2$, $Al_2O_3-TiO_2$, $Al_2O_3-ZrO_2$, 및 $TiO_2-ZrO_2$ 혼합 산화물을 지지체로 한 Ni 기반 혼합 산화물을 졸-겔법으로 제조하였다. 제조된 혼합 산화물은 1173K에서 열처리 한 후 구조적 특성 변화를 전자현미경 및 X-선 회절 분석을 이용하여 관찰하였으며, 수소를 이용한 승온 환원(TPR; temperature-programmed reduction) 실험을 통하여 1173K 까지 각 시료들의 환원 피크를 비교 고찰하였다. $Al_2O_3$ 또는 $TiO_2$ 가 혼합된 시료의 경우 1173K 에서의 열처리 후 니켈 알루미네이트 또는 니켈 티타네이트와 같은 새로운 결정상의 생성이 관찰되었으나 $ZrO_2$가 혼합된 경우에는 새로운 결정상의 생성이 관찰되지 않았다. TPR 결과에 의하면, $Al_2O_3$ 또는 $TiO_2$를 혼합된 시료의 경우 벌크 NiO의 TPR 결과와는 달리 생성된 새로운 결정상에 기인한 여러 개의 환원 피크가 나타났으나 $ZrO_2$를 혼합한 경우 벌크 NiO와 비슷한 환원 피크를 보였다. TPR 결과를 기초로 Arrhenius plot 으로부터 각 혼합 산화물들의 수소 환원 활성화 에너지를 도출하였다. $ZrO_2$를 지지체로 사용하는 경우 다른 혼합 산화물들보다 지지체로서 안정한 혼합 산화물상을 형성한다는 것을 지시하듯이 상대적으로 가장 낮은 활성화 에너지를 나타냈다.

Natural products and natural product structures play a general and highly significant role in drug discovery and development process because it has various merits and potentials for new drug source that have extensive clinical experience, development time contraction, excellent stability and safety. In several neurological disorders, neuronal death and excessive activation of microglia (neuro-inflammation) are observed. A number of drug discovery-related neuronal cell death and neuro-inflammation was studied from natural products, respectively. However, until now, it has not been possible to study dual-protection molecules recorded in the Natural Product library. In the present study, using the natural product-derived library of the Institute for Korea Traditional Medical Industry, we investigated dual-protective molecules against glutamate (a classical excitatory neurotransmitter)-induced oxidative stress mediated neuronal cell death and LPS-induced excessive activated microglial cells (immune cells of the brain). Chrysophanol, extracted from Rheum palmatum, had dual-protective effects against both glutamate-induced neuronal cell death and LPS-induced NO production, triggering proinflammatory cytokines and microglia activation and resulting in neuroinflammation. Flow-cytometry analysis revealed that chrysophanol had a scavenger effect, scavenging glutamate- and LPS-induced reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by neuronal and microglial cells, respectively. Based on the present study, chrysophanol may have an important protective role against neuronal cell death and neuroinflammation in the brain. The results may be helpful for studying drug development candidates for treating central nervous system disorders.

그래핀(graphene)의 가장자리(edge)는 결정구조의 배향성에 따라 지그재그(zigzag)와 안락의자(armchair) 형태로 구분되는데, 나노미터 크기의 그래핀의 전자적 성질은 이러한 가장자리의 배향성에 의해 크게 영향을 받는다고 알려져 있다. 단일층 그래핀 가장자리 사이에서 일어나는 산화실리콘($SiO_2$)의 carbothermal reduction은 선택적으로 지그재그 형태의 가장자리를 생성한다고 알려져 있다. 본 연구에서는 라만 분광법과 원자 현미경(atomic force microscopy)을 이용하여 기계적 박리법으로 만들어진 이중층 그래핀에서 일어나는 carbothermal reaction을 연구하였다. 고온 산화 방법으로 이중층 그래핀에 원형 식각공(etch pit)을 만들고 Ar 기체 속에서 700도 열처리를 진행한 후, 원형 식각공이 육각형으로 확장된 것을 관찰하였다. 이것은 이중층 그래핀도 산화실리콘의 carbothermal reduction을 유발한다는 사실을 보여준다. 그러나 이중층 그래핀의 반응속도는 단일층보다 5배 정도 느린 것이 확인되었는데, 이는 이중층 그래핀의 탄소원자와 산화제로 작용하는 산화실리콘 간의 평균 거리가 단일층보다 더 크다는 사실로 설명할 수 있다. 또한 단일층과 이중층 그래핀 모두 1 기압 Ar 분위기에서보다 진공상태에서 반응속도가 현저히 작다는 사실이 관찰되었다. 진공도와 온도에 따른 반응속도로부터 반응 메커니즘 및 활성화 에너지에 대해 고찰하고자 한다.

Titanium hydride potassium perchlorate (THPP) has played an important role as initiators of the propulsion system. However, the 'aging' may cause performance degradation and even give rise to a failure in the total system. In this study, various hygrothermal aging conditions were considered and the aging effects on thermodynamic and ignition characteristics of THPP are provided via thermal analysis and ignition measurements. Also, physical-chemical changes were identified by morphological analysis. In conclusion, thermal aging led to E_α decrease-high reactivity due to oxidizer decomposition whereas hygrothermal aging gave rise to an opposite tendency by fuel oxidation.

In order to form a uniform oxidation layer of spinel phase on Kovar which helps the strong bonding in Kovar-to-glass sealing, the humidified $N_2/H_2$ was used as an oxidation atmosphere. The oxidation of Kovar was controlled by diffusion mechanism and the activation energy was 31.61 kacl/mol at 500~$800^{\circ}C$. After oxidation at $600^{\circ}C$, the external oxidation layer was below 0.5 $\mu \textrm{m}$ thick. According to TEM analysis, oxidized Kovar was spinel its lattice parameter of 7.9 $\AA$. Oxidation of under $600^{\circ}C$ and in a humidified $N_2/H_2$ atmosphere, Kovar was found to be appropriate for the Kovar-to-glass sealing.

The activation process of the membrane-electrode assembly (MEA) is important for the mass production of the polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell. The conventional activation process for the MEA requires excessive time and hydrogen gas and it might become the barrier for the commercialization of the fuel cell. The conventional activation process is based on hydrolysis of ion conducting membrane. In the study, we suggest the cyclic voltammetry (CV) technique as an on-line activation process and the CV activation process consists of two steps : 1) the humidification of the polymer electrolyte membrane and the electrode with 100% RH humidified nitrogen ($N_{2}$) gas, and 2) the removal step of the oxide layer on the surface of the Pt catalyst with CV cycling. The cycling reduces the activation time of the MEA by 2.5 h and use of hydrogen gas by 1/4.

Activated carbons (ACs) have been prepared from pitch by the combination of a chemical oxidation with different $H_2O_2$ concentrations i.e., 5, 15, and 25 wt% and a chemical activation with KOH at a constant KOH/pitch ratio of 3/1. The influence of $H_2O_2$ solution on the microporous properties of the pitch and the final activated carbons were invested using XRD, FT-IR, XPS, $N_2$-adsorption, and SEM. XRD indicated that the value of interplanar distance $d_{002}$ increased by chemical oxidation. FT-IR and XPS results showed that the chemical oxidation promoted the formation of surface oxygen functionalities. Also, the specific surface area of the resulting ACs was increased with increasing the concentration of $H_2O_2$ chemical oxidation and showed a maximum value of $2111m^2/g$ at 25 wt% $H_2O_2$ concentration.
