This research work aims to investigate the effect of the aerobic bacterium, Pseudomonas aeruginosa on the mechanical and electrochemical properties of the 316L stainless steel and α-brass. These properties of both the alloys were determined after 7 days of exposure to the controlled and inoculated media at 37℃. The microstructural and electrochemical test results revealed the deleterious effects of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. After exposure to the inoculated medium, the scanning electron microscopy (SEM) results showed the larger pitting and formation of relatively dense biofilm on α-brass compared to 316L stainless steel. The tensile strength and hardness of 316L stainless steel were slightly affected after exposure to the controlled and inoculated media. After exposure to the controlled medium and inoculated media, the tensile strength of the α-brass was least affected but a significant decrease in the hardness (from 165 HV to 124 HV) was observed due to the severe attack induced by the Pseudomonas aeruginosa. Similarly, the open-circuit potential of the 316L stainless steel in the inoculated medium was measured to be less active (-410 mV vs Ag/AgCl) than α-brass (-550 mV vs Ag/AgCl). In the inoculated medium, potentiodynamic polarization curves confirmed the severe attack of Pseudomonas aeruginosa on α-brass (7.15 × 10^-2 mm/year) compared to 316L stainless steel which registered a corrosion rate of 5.14 × 10^-4 mm/year.

Cyclic voltammetry (CV) and square wave stripping voltammetry (SW) analysis of hexahydro-1,3,5-trinitro-1,3,5-triazine (RDX) using the double-stranded ds calf thymus (DNA) mixed in carbon nanotube paste electrode (PE) were provided. The optimum analytical conditions were determined and the peak potential was 0.2 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The linear working ranges of CV (50-75 ug/L) and SW (5-80 ng/L) were obtained. The precisions of RSD in the 10 ug/L was 0.086% (n=15) and the detection limit was 0.65 ng/L ($2.92{\times}10^{-12}M$) (S/N=3) with 300 s adsorption time at the optimum condition. The method was used to determine the presence of explosive chemicals in contaminated soil samples.

The neutral complexes $MCl_3(phda)(MeCN)]$ and $[MCl_3(PPh_3)_2(MeCN)]$ (M=Mo, V) were prepared by the reaction of $MCl_z$, (M=Mo; z=5, M=V; z=3) with N, P-donating ligands in acetonitrile solution. Addition of AgClO_4$ to these neutral monomeric complexes in acetone solution afforded $MCl_{3-n}L_2(MeCN)(S)_n](ClO_4)_n$ (n=1, 2 : s=solvent). Two types of asymmetrical homo- and hetero-dinuclear complexes have been synthesized. The type of chloride bridged dinuclear complex is $[(MeCN)(phda)ClM({\mu}-Cl)_2M'Cl(PPh_3)_2(MeCN)](ClO_4)_2.$ And the type of pyrazine bridged complex is $[(MeCN)(phda)Cl_2M({\mu}-pyz)M'Cl_2(PPh_3)_2(MeCN)](ClO_4)_2.$ These complexes were characterized by elemental analysis, $^1H,\;^13C$ NMR, IR, Far-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy.

The neutral compounds [$MCl_3L_2$(MeCN)] (M = Mo, V: L = $PPh_3$, 1/2 phda) have been prepared from the reaction of starting material $MCl_z$ (M = Mo; z = 5, M = V; z = 3) with N,P-donating ligands in acetonitrile solution. Addition of $AgClO_4$ to these neutral monomeric compounds in acetone solution were produced [$MCl_3-_nL_2(MeCN)(S)_n$]$(ClO_4)_n$ (n = 1, 2 : s = solvent). Finally treatment of bivalent cationic compound and neutral compound was formed chloride bridged dinuclear complex $[(MeCN)(L)_2ClM({\mu}-Cl)_2M'Cl(L)_2(MeCN)](ClO_4)_2$ and treatment of univalent cationic compound with half equivalent pyrazine to pyrazine bridged complex $[(MeCN)(L)_2Cl_2M({\mu}-pyz)M'Cl_2(L)_2(MeCN)](ClO_4)_2$. These complexes are characterized by elemental analysis, $^1H$, $^{13}C$ NMR, IR, Far-IR and UV-Vis spectroscopy.

A method for electrochemical degradation of the perchlorate anion ($ClO_4{^-}$) using mercury film electrode has been studied. Electrochemical method has relatively simple pre-treatment. However, electrochemical method should avoid interference from hydrogen evolution at the applied potential to degradation of perchlorate ion, and thus applied electrode should have large hydrogen overvoltage which suppressed the hydrogen evolution at the working reduction potential to prevent hydrogen evolution. In this study, we used mercury film electrode as a working electrode which has a large overvoltage. Ag / AgCl (sat. NaCl) was used as a reference electrode, and platinum was used as a counter electrode. Mercury film electrode was made by cyclic voltammetry (CV) method. The deposition time was decided as 10 minute, and the stability of the mercury electrode in perchlorate solution was confirmed by CV. The reduction potential of perchlorate was checked by using CV method, and decomposition of perchlorate was performed by using chronoamperometric (CA) method. Also, ion chromatography (IC) was used to confirm the degradation rates of perchlorate.

We have investgated the photoisomerization using light irradiation 8A5H-phospholipid( L-$\alpha$-dimyristoylphosphatidylcholine[DMPC], L-$\alpha$-dilauroylphosphatidylcholine[DLPC]mixture LB film accumulated by monolayer on an ITO. We determined electrochemical measurement by using cyclic voltammetry with a three-electrode system, An Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum wire counter electrode and LB film-coated ITO working electrode measured in $NaClO_{4}$ solution at a variable concentration and variable number layers LB film. The scan rate was 100mV/s.

A search for a new phosphor composition of excellent performance in systematic ways requires lots of research efforts, and often turns out to be very timeconsuming and difficult. Thus, usually practical ways are taken to improve the performance of phosphors. A few examples of practical surface treatments on phosphors such as $In_2O_3$ coating on $ZnGa_2O_4:Mn$, phosphoric acid treatment on ZnS:Ag,Cl, and base KOH treatment with ultrasonication on ZnS:Ag,Cl are presented. The reasons for the improvement of luminescence intensity or degradation properties after these treatments are discussed based upon careful analyses on the surface of the phosphors and a proposed model on charge carriers generated by electron beam excitation.

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.

Hole transport copolymers consisting of 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene (EDOT) and N-4-butylphenyl-N,N-diphenylamine (BTPA) were synthesized by oxidative coupling reaction using $FeCl_3$ as an oxidant. These copolymers showed good solubility and their thin films showed sufficient morphological stability. The copolymers showed an absorption maximum around 320 nm. Copolymers had an oxidation peak at approximately $1.03{\sim}1.14V$ versus the Ag/AgCl electrode. The hole mobility increased with increasing portion of the EDOT unit. The hole mobility of the copolymer containing 57% of the EDOT unit showed the highest mobility of $3{\times}10^{-5}cm^2/V{\cdot}s$.
