In this work, we analyzed the viscoelastic characteristics of electrochemically polymerized polypyrrole(PPy) thin film in various electrolyte solutions, $Na_2SO_4,\;Na_2CO_3$ and SDS + $NaClO_4$, using QCA. The characteristics of redox reaction of electrochemically polymerized PPy thin film for 180 sec in each electrolyte, was investigated in 0.1 M $NaClO_4$ electrolyte solution by cyclic voltammetry method. We used one side of quartz crystal electrode as a working electrode and measured the resonant frequency, resonant resistance and current as analytical parameters. As the results, we suggest that electrochemically polymerized PPy thin film in various electrolyte solutions shows tendency changing from elastic characteristics to viscoelastic one in the order of $ClO_4{^{-}}\;+\;DS^-,\;SO_4{^{-2}}$ and $CO_3{^{-2}}$.

본 연구에서는 정전류 조건에서 알루미늄 합금의 PEO(Plasma Electrolytic Oxidation) 피막 형성 거동에 대한 전해질 조성의 영향을 아크 발생 양상, 전압-시간 곡선 및 형성된 표면피막의 구조를 관찰하여 연구하였다. 실험에 사용된 전해질은 NaOH 수용액에 $Na_2SiO_3$을 혼합하여 구성되었으며, NaOH와 $Na_2SiO_3$의 농도는 각각 0.01 ~ 1.0 M 와 0 ~ 2.0 M 사이로 조절되었다. 0.01 M NaOH 이하의 용액에서는 양극전압이 500 V 이상으로 상승되고 미세한 아크가 시편 표면 전체에 발생했으나, 0.02 M NaOH 이상의 농도에서는 양극전압이 300 V 이하로 감소되었고 아크발생이 관찰되지 않았다. 아크발생이 일어나지 않는 고농도의 0.5 M NaOH 용액의 경우 0.1 M 이상의 $Na_2SiO_3$를 첨가하였을 때 작은 아크의 무리가 발생되었다. 0.5 M NaOH 수용액에 0.1 M ~ 0.2 M $Na_2SiO_3$가 첨가되었을 땐 아크 무리가 발생하나 이내 일부 영역에서만 반복적으로 아크가 발생하는 로컬 버닝 현상이 일어났다. 한편 0.5 M NaOH 수용액에 0.5 M 이상의 $Na_2SiO_3$가 첨가되었을 때는 로컬 버닝이 일어나지 않고 전 표면에 걸쳐서 아크 무리가 이동하며 PEO 피막이 형성되었다. 0.01 M NaOH 수용액에서 형성된 PEO 피막의 두께는 처리 시간에 따라 증가하지 않고 $10{\mu}m$ 이하의 낮은 값을 보였다. 반면에 NaOH와 $Na_2SiO_3$ 혼합수용액에서 형성된 피막의 두께는 약 $30{\mu}m$ 이상의 높은 값을 보였다.

Generation of chlorine dioxide ($ClO_2$) was studied by the un-divided electrochemical cell system using $RuO_2$ anode material. Sodium chlorite ($NaClO_2$) was used as a precursor compound of chlorine dioxide. Effect of various operating parameters such as feed solution flow rate, initial solution pH, $NaClO_2$ and NaCl conc., and applied current density on the produced chlorine dioxide concentration and solution pH were investigated in un-divided electrochemical cell system. Produced chlorine dioxide concentration and solution pH were strongly depends on the initial solution pH and feed solution flow rate. Sodium chloride (NaCl) was not only good electrolyte, it was also used as a raw material of chlorine dioxide with $NaClO_2$. Observed optimum conditions were flow rate of feed solution (90 mL/min), initial pH (2.3), $NaClO_2$ concentration (4.7 mM), NaCl concentration (100 mM), and current density ($5A/dm^2$). Produced chlorine dioxide concentration was around 350 mg/L and solution pH was around 3.

전위차 측정형 바이오 센서는 기준전극에 대한 센서 전극의 전기화학적 전위를 정확하게 측정하여야 하므로 기준전극의 안정성이 매우 중요하다. 기준전극의 전위는 전해질 용액 내의 염소 음이온 농도에 영향을 받으나 다행히도 혈액 내의 염소 음이온 농도는 거의 변화가 없으므로 혈액 속에서의 은/염화은 기준전극의 전위도 거의 변화가 없다. 본 연구에서는, 사진석판 (Photolithography) 공정을 이용하여 실리콘 표면 및 다공질 실리콘 표면에 은/염화은 박막 기준전극을 제작하고 시료 용액에서의 drift, 안정성, 재현성 등에 대한 특성을 고찰하였고, SEM, AES, EDX 스펙트럼 등을 이용하여 전극의 표면을 분석하였다. 시료 용액의 염소 음이온 농도를 $10^{-4}$M에서 1M까지 변화시켜가며 기준 전극의 전위를 측정한 결과 약 50mV/pCl의 기울기를 얻었으며 이것은 Nernst식을 잘 따르는 결과이다.

The optimal operation conditions of electrofloatation for oil-water separation of soil flushing effluent including electrolyte and pH were investigated. The reactor (200 ${\times}$ 10 ${\times}$ 15 cm) for the experiment was constructed by using acrylic plate. Diesel concentration was 1,000 mg/L in the 1 % mixed surfactant solution ($POE_5$: $POE_{14}$ 1: 1). Titanium coated electrode was used as cathode and stainless steel electrode as anode. Reaction time was 62 minutes (reaction time: 60 min., flotation time: 2 min.) and voltage was 6 V. The separation efficiency of electrofloatation was improved to 40% by electrolyte addition. Furthermore, NaCl (1N) added as electrolyte was showed enhanced efficiency compared to NaOH (1N). While, the effect of both NaCl and NaOH was sequentially increased in the range of 0.2∼1.0% (0.02∼0.1 M). The equilibrium time was found as 20 min. in the range of 0.4∼1.0% (0.04∼0.1M) for both of them.

In this paper, a sample chamber which provide easy replacement of ISFET sensor and consume only small sample volume for electrolyte analysis is designed and a 4-channel electrolyte analyzer employing 2-point calibration method is implemented. In addition, we proposed sample loading detection circuit for minimizing sample and calibration solutions and implemented it. Developed electrolyte analyzer consists of control system part and flow system part. For the effective control of the developed hardware, system software is developed as three individual routines ; measuring routine, calibration routine and washing routine.

Self-assembled multilayer thin films of poly(ethylene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PEMAh) and poly(4-vinyl pyridine) (P4VP) were fabricated by layer-by-layer (LbL) sequential adsorption. Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic analysis of the self-assembled PEMAh/P4VP multilayer films confirms that the driving forces for the multilayer buildup are the intermolecular hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interactions. The linear increase of absorption peak of P4VP at 256 nm with increasing number of PEMAh/P4VP bilayers indicates that the multilayer buildup is an uniform assembling process. We also investigate the effects of polyelectrolyte concenhation variation of the dipping solution and pH variation of the PEMAh solution on the multilayer film formation. Thickness. adsorbed polyelectrolyte mass and surface roughness of the multilayer films were measured by UV-visible spectroscopy, quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM), respectively.

The objective of this study was to observe the effects of potassium-cyanoethylstarch (K-CES), which is a natural polymer derivate,. and polyacrylamide (PAM), which is a synthetic polymer, on the growth of spinach under environment-controlled biotron. K-CES was made from tapioca starch, and introductions of acrylonitrile was confirmed by FT-IR. Water absorbing capacities (WAC) of K-CES and PAM were 37.6 and 47.8 times, respectively. WAC of PAM was slightly higher than K-CES, WAC of PAM m saline solutions were more reduced than those of K-CES. It was introduced that K-CES treatment was more effective than PAM in higher salinity of water and soil. Dry super absorptive polymers were put into solution, and the solution was applied to soil as an soil conditioner. Both amendments, K-CES and PAM, increased the vegetative growth of the spinach when applied at 0.1% of soil weight. In general, the most favorable results for early vegetative growth of the spinach came from the PAM treatment, followed by the K-CES treatment.

The dispersion stability of particles and the adsorption of surfactant were examined as a fundamental environment to adhesion of particulate soil to fabric. The adsorption of surfactant on the PEF fabrics decreased with the addition of electrolytes and decreased with increasing the ionic strengths showed similar tendency to PET fabric. And the dispersion force of $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$particles decreased with the addition of electrolyte. The adhesion of particulate soil to fabric, increased with decreasing the adsorption of surfactant the correlation between the two was high at low ionic strength. The correlation between the adsorption of surfactants on $\alpha$-Fe$_2$O$_3$ particles and the adhesion of particles to fabric was smaller as shown in the correlation between the adsorption of surfactants on fiber substrate and the adhesion of particles on fabric. However, the correlation between the adhesion of particles to fabric and the stability of particle dispersion was relatively more significant.
