Acid-doped sulfonated poly(aryl ether benzimidazole) (S-PAEBI) copolymers were synthesized by a direct polymerization technique and a doping with phosphoric acid as a dopant, and the polymer electrolyte membranes were fabricated from them by a solution casting method. To optimize the reaction condition, the degree of sulfonation and doping level were varied in the ranges of $0{\sim}60%\;and\;0.7{\sim}5.7$, respectively. Physiochemical properties of the doped membranes were investigated by AFM, TGA and the measurement of proton conductivity. It was found that proton conductivities depend on doping levels of membranes. Conductivity determined at the condition of $130^{\circ}C$ and no humidity was $7.3{\times}10^{-2}S/cm$ for the $H_3PO_4$-doped PAEBI membrane with a doping level of 5.7.

Casein is a milk protein and one of the most important nutrients in milk. The composition is over 80% in cow's milk and about 20~45% in human's milk. Casein is highly biocompatible and biodegradable, so it has been studied for various biomedical materials applications as well as drug delivery systems. It is widely known that casein can be prepared as nanoparticles in the presence of the Ca²⁺ metal ion. Because casein is amphiphilic, hydrophobic drugs could be loaded inside to form a protein-based drug delivery system. In this study, we studied the optimum conditions for casein nanoparticle formation using natural metal ions present in the body, such as calcium, magnesium, zinc, and iron. It was confirmed that nanoparticles have a uniform size of around 150 nm and negative zeta potential values. In addition, it was demonstrated that casein nanoparticles have a cell viability of more than 80% and efficient intracellular uptake properties using confocal microscopy. From the results, it was also shown that the casein nanoparticles prepared using various metal ions have the potential to be biocompatible drug delivery carriers.

Anodic alumina with self-organized and ordered nano hole arrays can be a good candidate of an irradiation mask to modify the properties of nano-scale region. In order to try using porous anodic alumina as a mask for ion-beam patterning, ion beam transmittance of anodic alumina was tested. 4 Um thick self-standing AAO templates anodized from Al bulk foil with two different aspect ratio, 200:1 and 100:1, were aligned about incident ion beam with finely controllable goniometer. At the best alignment, the transmittance of the AAO with aspect ratio of 200:1 and 100:1 were $10^{-8}\;and\;10^{-4}$, respectively. However transmittance of the thin film AAO with low aspect ratio, 5:1, were remarkably improved to 0.67. The ion beam transmittance of self-standing porous alumina with a thickness larger than $4{\mu}m$ is extremely low owing to high aspect ratio of nano hole and charging effect, even at a precise beam alignment to the direction of nano hole. $SiO_2$ nano dot array was formed by ion irradiation into thin film AAO on $SiO_2$ film. This was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy that the $SiO_2$ nano dot array is similar to AAO hole array.

Ion exchange resin particles should not be found in steam generator(S/G) sludge. The suspicious spherical resin particles observed in S/G sludge sample were characterized for particle size distribution under optical microscope using the micro-technique, for element analysis by the electron probe micro analysis (EPMA), and for molecular identification by the IR spectroscopy. The particle sizes are distributed from 1 to $200{\mu}m$ for the sludge, while 40 to $500{\mu}m$ for the spherical resin particles. The results of the elemental analysis showed different major impurities: Si, Al, Mn, Cr, Ni, Zn and Ti for the sludge particles, while Si, Cu, Zn for the spherical resin particles. However, both particles contain Fe as a matrix of magnetite $(Fe_3O_4)$. IR spectrum of the spherical particles was not quite similar to the IR spectrum of ion exchange resins used in S/G system. These results indicate that the spherical particles are not related to ion exchange resin particles and may be formed by the process of the sludge formation.

The suspicious spherical resin particles observed in S/G sludge sample were characterized for particle size distribution under optical microscope using the micro-technique, for element analysis by the electron probe micro analysis (EPMA), and for molecular identification by the IR spectroscopy The particle sizes are distributed from 1 to 200 ${\mu}m$ for the sludge, while 40 to 500 ${\mu}m$ for the spherical resin particles. The results of the elemental analysis showed different major impurities: Si, Al, Mn, Cr, Ni, Zn and Ti for the sludge particles, while Si, Cu, Zn for the spherical resin particles. However, both particles contain Fe as a matrix of hematite ($Fe_{3}O_4$). IR spectrum of the spherical particles was quite different from that of ion exchange resins used in S/G system. These results indicate that the spherical particles are not related to ion exchange resin particles and formed by the process of the sludge formation.

Ion permeability characteristics in nano-polymer membrane structures are performed to investigate the chemical composition and characteristics of MEA(Membrane Electrolyte Assembly) which is one of the most important parts to decide the performance in PEMFC(Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell) system. Subsequently, the MEA manufacturing process is presented for the uniformed MEA product. In the meantime, the analysis of SEM(Scanning Electron Microscope) is carried out in order to investigate the joint aspect and chemical composition of MEA. As a result of SEM analysis, it is found that the bonded catalyst and carbon composition contain the reasonable amount to get unit cell output. It is also found that the humidification gives the better performance result slightly.

현재, 메탈의 내부식성 코팅막 제조에 사용되고 있는 크로메이트 기반 코팅제는 유독성 물질에 대한 환경 규제에 따라 조만간 사용이 금지 될 예정이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 유독성 금속 내부식성 코팅제를 대체할 새로운 코팅 재료로 부식 억제제가 결합된 수용성 졸을 제조하고 그 특성을 보고하고자 한다 부식 억제제가 결합된 수용성 졸은 부분 가수 분해된 GPS((3-glycidoxypropyltriethoxysilane)에 Zirconiumoxychlorideoctahydrate 혹은 cerium nitrate를 일정 양 첨가하고 이온 교환수에 희석하여 제조하였다. 이 코팅 졸을 아연 도금 강판에 딥 코팅법으로 코팅한 후 상온에서 건조하고, 80~15$0^{\circ}C$에서 열처리하여 염수 분무 시험으로 백청 발생 정도를 관찰하여 내 부식성을 조사하였다. 코팅막의 두께는 수직으로 절단한 면을 전자 현미경으로 관찰하여 측정하였으며, 표면의 경도는 연필 경도계로 조사하였다. 또한 코팅막의 부식 전위는 전기화학적인 방법으로 분석되어 부식억제제의 종류에 따른 효과도 정량적으로 비교되었다.

포자의 전자현미경사진과 mycelium의 광학현미경사진을 찍어 strain V-8 균주의 형태학적인 특성을 조사하였을 때 방선균 계열인 streptomyces로 확인되었다. 이 균주의 배양액은 노란색을 띠고 있고 이 노란색은 430 nm에서 특징적인 흡광을 보였다. 이 물질은 유기 용매로 추출되었다. 이 물질의 자외선 흡광스펙트럼의 특징을 기존에 보고된 화합물과 비교하여 이 물질이 actinomycin계열에 속함을 발견하였다. 이 물질의 FAB mass spectrum에서 각 분획들의 주성분들의 분자의 질량 + H 이온이 1290과 1292에서 각각 관찰되었다. 이 화합물들은 분자량이 1258인 actinomycin D와는 상이한 구조를 소유하고 있는 것으로 확인되었다. 각 분획 성분들의 proton 및 carbon HIR spectra를 얻어 기존에 알려진 화합물의 자료와 비교하였을 때 actinomycin계열에 속하는 신물질로 생각되었다. 지금까지 actinomycin 계열의 항생물질이 adenosine deaminase의 효소 활성을 저해한다는 사실은 보고된바 없다. 본 연구자는 분리한 2개의 화합물에 대하여 구조 연구를 계속하고 있다.

Chitin과 탈아세틸화된 chitosan은 중금속 제거에 효과적인 생물흡착제로 잘 알려져 있다. 그러나 본 연구의 결과 crab shell에 있어서의 중금속 제거효율이 순수 chitin과 chitosan에서 보다 더 뛰어남을 알 수가 있었다. 납, 카드뮴, 망간이온 제거실험에서 crab shell은 초기 2시간 이내에 모두 제거되었으나, chitin과 chitosan의 흡착 실험에선 14시간이 경과되어도 이들 중금속의 대부분 수용액 내에서 거의 제거되지 않았다. 구리의 경우 염의 형태에 따른 흡착의 영향을 chitosan에선 제거된 량이 Cu($SO_{4})_{2}$ > Cu($NO_{3})_{2}$ > Cu($Cl_{2}$)의 순으로 나타났으나 chitin에선 모두 흡착이 거의 안된 상태로 나타났다. 주사현미경 분석 결과 crab shell의 표면에 납이 축적되어 있는 상태를 확인하였다.

융액인상법에 의하여 Nd3+ 이온이 15 at% 주입된 LaSc3(BO3)4 단결정을 성장하였다. 최적의 결정성장 조건하에서 성장된 결정은 결정형이 잘 발달되고 보라색 투명하였다. 편광 현미경에 의한 결정결함 분석결과 성장된 결정 중심부에서 0.1 mm 크기의 기포가 검출되었고, B2O3가 증발하여 결정에 증착된 shoulder 부위에서는 균열이 발생되었으나 body에서는 결함이 검출되지 않았다. X선 회절에 의하여 cell parameter를 측정한 결과 a=7.73 , b=9.85 , c=12.05 , β=105.48o 및 공간군 C2/c의 monoclinic 구조로 분석되었다. 양질의 단결정을 성장하기 위한 결정성장 요소는 회전속도 10 rmp, 인상속도 1.5 mm/h이었다. 성장된 결정은 808 nm에서 강하고 넓은 흡수대와 1050∼1080 nm에 걸친 형광 방출대가 관찰되었다. 성장된 결정을 이용하여 직경 3 mm, 두께 1mm 크기의 micro-chip laser 소자의 제조기술을 확립하였다.
