Spontaneous ignition occurs in industrial sites or anywhere in our lives, and is a phenomenon in which a substance ignites itself without an ignition source in the atmosphere. As the rate of chemical reaction increases, the heat generated increases, and the risk of spontaneous ignition increases. In this study, safe raw materials used for food and cosmetics were mixed to prepare coal spontaneous ignition prevention agents specifically among various spontaneous ignition phenomena. The effect of suppressing spontaneous combustion of coal was confirmed through lab and field tests with low-calorie, low-grade coal from Indonesia. As a result of the outdoor field test, the ignition prevention agent manufactured in this study compared with the control group(Fire after 90 days) showed excellent ignition inhibitors for more than 120 days. In addition, CO concentration control was confirmed by comparing the concentration of carbon monoxide for 50 days at the indoor coal yard. It was confirmed that the results were better than the comparative group coal and the existing anti-firing method. In addition, the possibility of coal fire prevention agents for indoor coal farms will be applied from 2024 was confirmed by studying the environment and safety of workers' working environments through official test such as soil and water quality test, MSDS of coal fire prevention agents in consideration of working workers, water quality, and eye irritation tests.

Peak oil, climate change, and microplastics caused by the production and usage of petroleum-based plastics have threatened the sustainability of our daily life, and this has emerged as a recent global issue. To solve this global issue, the production and usage of biodegradable eco-friendly bioplastics such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) has been suggested as an alternative. Therefore, in this review, the present status of global PHA manufacturers, the advantages of the production of PHAs using marine-origin microorganisms (with their productivity potential) and further required research and development strategies for cost-competitive production of PHAs using marine-based microorganisms were investigated. In this review, PHAs produced from marine microorganisms were found to have similar physical properties to petroleum-based plastics but with several advantages that can reduce the costs of PHA production. Those advantages include, seawater used in the medium preparation step, and osmotic-based cell lysis technology used in the separation and purification steps. However, the PHA productivities from marine microorganisms showed somewhat lower efficiencies than those from the commercial strains isolated from terrestrial environments. In order to solve the problem, further research strategies using synthetic microbiology-based technology, the development of long-term continuous culture technology, and solutions to improve PHA efficiency are required to meet future market demands for alternative bioplastics.

디스플레이, 센서 등 전자소자는 소형화 단계를 지나 인체 부착형 소자로의 발전을 요구하고 있다. 인체 부착을 위해서는 민감한 피부에 장시간 부착시 무해성과 탈부착의 자유로움이 요구되기에 기존의 화학물질을 활용한 접착 방식에서 개코도마뱀 또는 딱정벌레 발바닥에서 영감을 얻은 자연모사형 건식 접착 방식에 대한 연구가 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 폴리머를 이용하여 자연모사형 마이크로/나노구조 형성은 기계적으로 가공된 금형 몰딩과 후처리를 통한 매우 복잡한 공정이 요구된다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 복잡한 공정을 단순화하기 위해서 폴리머 소재에 플라즈마를 활용한 나노구조를 형성하는 방법을 소개하고자 하며, 건식 접착용 폴리머 소재(PMMA, PDMS)에 따른 표면구조 변화와 표면에너지 변화에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. 플라즈마 표면처리를 위해서 본 연구실에서 자체 개발한 선형이온소스를 활용하였으며 입사에너지, 노출시간, 사용가스에 따른 표면형상 변화를 주사전자현미경을 활용하여 관찰하였다. 또한 처리조건에 따른 표면에너지 변화를 확인하기 위해 물접촉각 변화를 측정하였다. PMMA는 입사에너지, 노출시간이 증가함에 따라 쉽게 나노기둥구조가 형성되었으나, 과도한 입사에너지 또는 노출시간에서는 표면구조가 에칭되면서 무너지는 것이 관찰되었다. 또한 PDMS는 동일한 조건에서 주름구조 형태를 보였으며 노출시간이 증가할수록 주름구조의 간격이 늘어남을 확인하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 나노 구조를 쉽게 제어할 수 있는 PMMA가 피부 부착형 접착 패치에 응용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

급속열산화방법으로 400-650.deg.C의 온도범위에서 10-600초 동안 n형 InP기판위에 InP자연산화막을 형성하고 산화막의 성장율, 성장기구와 화학적 구성성분 및 전기적 성질등을 조사하였다. InP자연산화막의 두께는 산화시간이 제곱근에 비례하였고 산화온도에 대하여 지수함수적으로 증가하였다. InP자연산화막은 320.deg.C의 온도에서 초기성장이 이루어지고 산소원자들이 InP내부로 확산되는 과정으로 형성되며 산화막 형성에 필요한 활성화에너지는 1.218eV이었다. InP 자연산화마그이 화학적성분은 In$_{2}$)$_{3}$, P$_{2}$O$_{5}$ 및 InPO$_{4}$의 산화물이 혼합하여 구성된다. Au/InP쇼트키다이오드와 InP자연산화막을 게이트절연물로 사용한 MOS 다이오드의 전기적 특성은 다이오드방정식에 따르는 전류-전압특성을 보였다.

Flowers are one of the most natural expressions of human expression. Recently, these flowers have been applied to various kinds of products to enhance their aesthetic value and to use them as artistic materials expressing their vitality. The purpose of this study is to investigate the formative characteristics of flowers that are visually beautiful and to express them visually through the fusion of various products used in daily life. Based on this research, we study the importance of emotional design that gives satisfaction to consumers and new design expression techniques. In addition, we pursue the aesthetic value of the product with naturalness and original design sense, and develop sensibility product design expressing design sensitivity by combining floral motif with various products based on expression of decoration using image of flower. I would like to suggest the possibility of development of sensible product design.

Lung cancer has the highest death rate of any cancer diseases in Koreans. However, patients often feel difficult to recognize their disease before facing the terminal diagnosis due to the absence of any significant symptoms. Furthermore, the clear detection of an early cancer stage is usually obscure with existing diagnostic methods. For this reason, extensive research efforts have been made on introducing a wide range of biochemical diagnostic tools for the molecular level analysis of biological fluids for lung cancer diagnoses. A chip-based biosensor, one type of the analytical devices, can be a great potential for the diagnosis, which can be used without any further expensive analytical equipments nor skilled analysts. In this mini review, we highlight recent research trends on searching biomarker candidates and bio-chip sensors for lung cancer diagnosis in addition to discussing their future aspects.

Two hydrophobic imidazolium based ionic liquids including 1-benzyl-3-butylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [BzBIM]PF₆ and 1-pentyl-3-butylimidazolium hexafluorophosphate [PBIM]PF₆ having the same anion and different cation parts were synthesized. The structural composition of these ionic liquids were confirmed with Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and proton nuclear magnetic resonance (¹H-NMR). Their physiochemical properties such as viscosity, ionic conductivity and thermal stability alongside electrochemical potential window range for both ionic liquid electrolytes were characterized and compared to each other. The overall results revealed that [BzBIM]PF₆ has higher thermal and electrochemical stabilities and viscosity than that of [PBIM]PF₆ probably due to the presence of benzyl ring in the imidazolium cation providing strong intermolecular π-π interactions.
