A thermally stimulated measurement using a temperature gradient has been applied to the study of charged particles and their polarity n polymers. From the experimental results on a cross-linked polyethylene (XLPE) film is found that the TSC peaks of the trapped carriers in C peak are due to the negative polarity which is electron and the ionic carriers having negative polarity show D peak.

Electron cyclotron resonance plasma chemical vapor deposition (ECRPCVD) 장치에서 공정변 수에 따른 수소플라즈마 특성을 조사하였다. 균일한 플라즈마 밀도를 얻기 위하여 전자공명층이 기판과 평행하게 형성되도록 정자장 코일을 설계하였으며 기판근처에 부가적으로 형성된 multicusp field 에의 해서 기판 근처에서의 플라즈마 균일도를 개선시킬수 있었다. 또한 절연된 공진실과 기판에의 독립적인 DC bias에 의해서 기판으로 입사하는 하전입자들이 에너지와 유량을 조잘할 수 있었다. 이러한플라즈마 특성을 갖는 ECRPCVD장치를 다양한 특성을 갖는 박막 합성에 응용할 수 있으리라 사료된다.

공기청정기의 기술 현황 고찰과 함께 현재 국내 공기청정기의 기술 개발 현황 및 제품성능의 발달에 대한 추이에 대하여 고찰하고자 한다. 공기청정기는 실내 공기에 존재하는 입자상 또는 가스상의 오염물질을 제거하는 장치로, 구조 및 기능에 따라 집진만 또는 집진 및 탈취를 목적으로 하는 장치로 크게 기계식과 전기식인 것으로 구분할 수 있으며, 기계식은 다시 건식과 습식으로 구분할 수 있다. 기계식은 여재를 사용하거나 물을 분무하여 집진만 또는 집진 및 탈취론 하는 공기청정기이며, 전기식은 고전압을 이용하여 분진을 하전 시켜 집진만 또는 집진 및 탈취를 하는 공기청정기이다.(중략)

The streaming potential generated by the electrokinetic flow within electric double layer of charged microchannel is applied to determine the zeta potential of hollow-fiber membrane pore by using the general Helmholtz-Smoluchowski equation. The streaming potential is know to provide a useful real-time information on the surface property and the interaction between pore and particles in actual situations and physicochemical conditions. The influence of physicochemical parameters upon the filtration with hollow-fibers has been examined with an in-situ and simultaneously monitoring the streaming potential as well as permeate flux. In particular, the present study examined an experimental method to identify the effect of cake layer which can vary according to the axial position of a hollow-fiber and the progress of membrane fouling by measuring the position-dependent streaming potential. As the latex concentration increases, the permeate flux decreased but the streaming potential increased. The growth of cake layer has been mire developed with increasing latex concentration, however, the effect of surface charges of latexes deposited on the membrane surface leads to increase the streaming potential. With increasing ionic concentration of KCI, both the permeate flux and the streaming potential decrease. The increase of ionic concentration provides a compact cake layer due to the shrinkage of Debye length and the decreased streaming potential results from the weakened ionic flows owing to a thin diffusive double layer.

A two-stage electrostatic precipitator (ESP) using a carbon brush charger and a plate-plate parallel aluminum collector was developed and its application for removal of oil mist aerosols was investigated. Charge number per particle and particle collection efficiency at different applied voltage to the carbon brush charger were measured and compared to those obtained by theoretical calculations. A long-term operation of the ESP during 9 weeks was also performed to evaluate its performance durability for oil mists. Average charge number per mist particle increased with the applied voltage to the charger, and thus the collection efficiency of the mist particles also increased overall at the particle size range of 0.26 - 3 mm. The tendencies of the average charge number per particle and particle collection efficiency obtained from theoretical calculations were considerably consistent with those of the experimental results. Particle collection efficiency of ~99 % at 0.3 mm could be achieved by power consumption of only 0.0033 W/($m^3/h$) at the face velocity of 1 m/s and its collection performance maintained stably during every 8 hr operation per day for 9 weeks with little increase of pressure drop.

A SMPS(scanning mobility particle sizer) system measures the number size distribution of particles using electrical mobility detection technique. An aerosol charge neutralizer, which is a component of the SMPS, is a bipolar charger using a radioactive source to apply an equilibrium charge distribution to aerosols of unknown charge distribution. However, the performance of aerosol charge neutralizers is not well known, especially for highly charged particles. In this study, the effect of the particle charging characteristics of two aerosol charge neutralizers on the measurement using a SMPS system was experimentally investigated for highly charged polydisperse particles. One has radioactive source of $^{85}$ Kr (beta source, 2 mCi) and the other has $^{210}$ Po (alpha source, 0.5 mCi). The air flow rate passing through each aerosol charge neutralizer was changed from 0.3 to 3.0 L/min. The results show that the non-equilibrium character in particle charge distribution appears as the air flow rate increases although the particle number concentration is relatively low in the range of 1.5∼2x10$^{6}$ particles/㎤. The low neutralizing efficiency of the $^{85}$ Kr aerosol charge neutralizer for highly charged particles can cause to bring an artifact in the measurement using a SMPS system. However, the performance of the $^{210}$ Po aerosol charge neutralizer is insensitive to the air flow rate.

An electret filter is composed of permanently charged electret fibers and is widely used in applications requiring high collection efficiency and low-pressure drop. In this work, the fractional collection efficiency of the filter media used in manufacturing cabin air filters was investigated by using highly monodisperse particles ranging from 0.02 to 0.6 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter at three different charging states: singly charged, uncharged, and equilibrium charged. The face velocity was varied from 2.4 to 20.4 crus. It was fecund that the fractional efficiency curve fur singly charged particles shows a typical trend that the collection efficiency is minimum at about 0.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter. The fractional efficiency of equilibrium charged particles were not severely varied with the particle diameter. The collection efficiency curve fur uncharged particles has a minimum near 0.1 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in diameter. Another experiment was conducted for a cartridge filter to examine the effect of charge depletion on the collection efficiency in a cabin air filter. The result shows that the charge depletion of the cartridge filter can significantly lower the collection efficiency.

Simulations were performed using a Monte Carlo technique in order to show physical phenomena occurring when a heavy charged particle such as proton or alpha particle traverses the medium. It was confirmed that the sharp Bragg peak occurred deeper in the water with the increasing proton energy. It is found that the use of such a sharp Bragg peak due to heavy charged particles would be far superior to the case of the photon or electron, since the absorbed dose in the target tissues would be better localized, thereby minimizing the damage to the surrounding tissues.

A numerical study has been carried out on the evolution of the particle size distribution for unipolar charged particles that experience coagulation in an alternating electric field. The collision frequency function of charged particles was analytically derived. The log-normal size distribution function is utilized for representing a poly-disperse size distribution and the moments of the particle size distribution are used to solve the general dynamic equation considering only AC electric force effect. The results are compared with the effects of brownian coagulation.
