Micro actuator의 동력원으로 박테리아 주화성을 기반으로 한 편모박테리아 운동은 널리 연구되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로입자 추적유속계($\mu$-PTV)를 이용하여 박테리아 주화성에 의해 추진되는 형광입자의 움직임을 분석하였다. 일반적으로 활발한 운동성을 지니고 있는 편모 박테리아 중 Serratia marcescens가 배양액속에서 형광 폴리스티렌 미세입자 표면에 자발적으로 붙게 된다. 박테리아가 부착된 미세입자를 고형화된 화학적 유인물질 L-aspartate가 담겨져 있는 유체 속으로 주입하고, 시간에 따라 입자들이 서서히 L-aspartate가 높은 농도를 가지는 구역으로 이동하는 것을 관찰하였다. 본 연구의 결과로 편모박테리아가 micro actuator의 효율적인 동력원 개발에 적용될 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

수용액계에서 정극활물질의 안정성을 1 M LiOH 용액에서 Tafel plot를 통해서 측정하였으며, 이 때 $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$(x=0.05~0.1) 전극은 100 mA에서 0.13~0.15 mV의 과전압으로 $LiMn_2O_4$ 전극보다 0.05 mV가 낮은 과전압을 나타냈다. 또한 전위변화에 따른 전해질의 전도도는 $LiM_xMn_{2-x}O_4$가 스피넬 구조의 $LiMn_2O_4$보다 높고 나타났으며, $Mn^{+2}$의 용해에 의한 용액저항은 상대적으로 낮게 나타났다.

We synthesized potassium hexatitanate, ($K_2Ti_6O_{13}$, PT6), with a non-fibrous shape, by acid leaching and subsequent thermal treatment of potassium tetratitanate ($K_2Ti_4O_9$, PT4), with layered crystal structure. By controlling nucleation and growth of PT4 crystals, we obtained splinter-type crystals of PT6 with increased width and reduced thickness. The optimal holding temperature for the layered PT4 was found to be ${\sim}920^{\circ}C$. The length and width of the PT4 crystals were increased when the nucleation and growth time were increased. After a proton exchange reaction using aqueous 0.3 M HCl solution, and subsequent heat treatment at $850^{\circ}C$, the PT4 crystal transformed into splinter-type PT6 crystals. The frictional characteristics of the friction materials show that as the particle size of PT6 increases, the coefficient of friction (COF) and wear amounts of both the friction materials and counter disc increase.

Microencapsulation of cells within microfluidic devices enables explicit control of the membrane thickness or cell density, resulting in improved viability of the transplanted cells within an aggressive immune system. In this study, living cells (3T3 and L929 fibroblast cells) are encapsulated within a semi-permeable membrane (calcium crosslinked alginate gel) in two different device designs, a flow focusing and a core-annular flow focusing geometry. These two device designs produce a bead and a long microfibre, respectively. For the alginate bead, an alginate aqueous solution incorporating cells flows through a flow focusing channel and an alginate droplet is formed from the balance of interfacial forces and viscous drag forces resulting from the continuous (oil) phase flowing past the alginate solution. It immediately reacts with an adjacent $CaCl_2$ drop that is extruded into the main flow channel by another flow focusing channel downstream of the site of alginate drop creation. Depending on the flow conditions, monodisperse microbeads of sizes ranging from $50-200\;{\mu}m$ can be produced. In the case of the microfibre, the alginate solution with cells is extruded into a continuous phase of $CaCl_2$ solution. The diameter of alginate fibres produced via this technique can be tightly controlled by changing both flow rates. Cell viability in both forms of alginate encapsulant was confirmed by a LIVE/DEAD cell assay for periods of up to 24 hours post encapsulation.

The electrokinetic potential of $CaCO_3$, which takes an important part in aquatic system, has been measured and the variation of total energy between $CaCO_3$ particles with the distance of particles was estimated based on DLVO theory. The electrokinetic potential of particles was observed to increase to positive direction as the charge valence of cations which was added to suspension was increased. Also, the total interaction energy between particles was estimated to be more negative as the charge valence of cation was higher and its concentrations was raised. When a mixture of cations with different charge valences was added, the influence of cation with a higher charge valence was more significant on the total interaction energy between particles. When anion was added to the suspension of $CaCO_3$, the total energy estimated by DLVO theory was examined to move to positive direction and the electrokinetic potential of particles became more negative. Likewise cations, the effect of anions on the electrokinetic potential of particles and total interaction energy between them was observed to be proportional to their charge valence and the influence of the mixture of anions with different charge valence became more remarkable as the mixing ratio of the anion with a higher charge valence was increased.

In this study, 4-nonylphenol (4-NP), an endocrine disrupting chemical, was removed by ozone treatment processes under the various experimental conditions including UV irradiation, $TiO_2$ addition. The ozone flow rate and concentration were maintained at $1.0L{\cdot}min^{-1}$ and $70{\pm}5mg{\cdot}L^{-1}$. The pH, COD and TOC of the samples were obtained every 10 minutes for 60 minutes in laboratory scale batch reactor. We found that the combination of UV irradiation and $TiO_2$ addition for ozonation improves the removal efficiency of COD and TOC in 4-NP aqueous solution. In case of the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ system, COD and TOC were greatly reduced to 85.3 ~ 94.0% and 89.2 ~ 97.2%, respectively. 4-NP degradation rate constants, $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$, were calculated based on the COD and TOC values. Significantly, $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were improved in the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ treatment process compared with single $O_3$ process, because the oxidation and the mineralization of 4-NP were increased by generating of the hydroxyl radical. The $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were obtained to be $5.81{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}10.8{\times}10^{-4}sec^{-1}$ and $11.9{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}19.4{\times}10^{-4}sec^{-1}$ in the $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ process. Activation energy ($E_a$) of ozone oxidation reaction based on $k_{COD}$ and $k_{TOC}$ were increased in order of $O_3/UV/TiO_2$ < $O3/UV$ < $O_3/TiO_2$ < $O_3$ process. It was confirmed that the addition of $TiO_2$ and UV irradiation to the ozone oxidation reaction significantly reduced the $E_a$ value and the degradation of 4-NP.

오존 분자와의 직접반응경로 및 OH라디칼을 통한 간접반응경로를 통한 부식산의 분해특성을 TOC, $UV_{254}$ 그리고 오존 소모량의 변화를 통해 살펴보았다. 부식산의 분해를 위한 반응시스템은 오존 단독 처리 외에 OH라디칼의 생성조건을 조사하기위해 pH를 5에서 염기성 영역인 9까지 변화시켰으며, OH라디칼 생성 촉진제인 $H_2O_2$를 5-15 mg/L의 농도로, 그리고 OH라디칼 소거제로서 작용하는 $HCO_3{^-}$는 20-100 mg/L로 변화시키면서 처리하였다. 각 반응 조건에 따른 부식만의 분해특성을 살펴본 결과, TOC 제거율은 주로 0H라디칼에 의한 간접반응의 영향을 받았으며, $UV_{254}$ 감소율은 주로 오존분자와의 직접반응에 의해 효율이 결정되는 반응 경로를 거치는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 오존소모량은 주로 용액의 pH, alkalinity 변화에 따른 영향을 많이 받았다.

The main object of this study was to prepare of w/o emulsion including glyceryl monooleate(GMO) and to evaluate its stability by using the recently developed $Turbiscan^{(R)}LAB$. GMO is the polar oily surfactant with the low HLB value, and it forms the gel phase of cubic structures after dissolves in aqueous media. Phosphate buffer solution (PBS) of pH 7.4 was prepared as the water phase and Marcol 52(mineral oil) was used as the oil phase in this study. GMO was used as the surfactant of W/O emulsion. W/O emulsion using GMO alone as a surfactant was very unstable. But the emulsion using both GMO and poloxamer 407 was more stable. The stability of W/O emulsions was evaluated after centrifuging the emulsions. But it was difficult with naked eye because an opaque and concentrated system like W/O emulsion was very turbid. So $Turbiscan^{(R)}LAB$ was used to detect the destabilization phenomena in non-diluted emulsion. As a result, the W/O emulsion using the proper amounts of GMO and poloxamer 407 was more stable among them using GMO of various amounts. But it seems that the other element for the stability of W/O emulsion including GMO was required. Furthermore, the $Turbiscan^{(R)}LAB$ was a very efficient analyzer for evaluating the physical stability of emulsion.

과염소산 이온($ClO_4^-$)은 로켓, 그리고 미사일 추진체등의 군사적 무기에 산화제로서 널리 사용이 되고 있다. 또한 주요 오염물질로 간주되는 과염소산 이온을 분해하려는 연구도 계속 진행이 되고 있다. 과염소산 이온을 환원 분해 처리하기위한 촉매로는 0가 철이 많이 응용되고 있다. 0가 철은 지표수의 정화나 오염물질의 처리에 널리 활용이 되고 있는 물질이다. 그러나 이것은 뭉침이 잘 일어나고 쉽게 침전이 되며 제한적인 유동성을 갖는 경향이 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 칼슘-알지네이트 고분자를 응용하여 나노크기의 0가 철 입자를 고정시켜 안정화하고 과염소산 이온을 환원분해 하였다. 안정화된 0가 철 입자는 분산되어 넓은 표면적을 가지기 때문에 과염소산 이온의 환원분해 효율을 더욱 증가 시킨다. 본 연구에서는 지지체 물질인 알지네이트 비드로 0가 철을 고정화하는 방법을 개발하고 가교제 역할을 하는 칼슘이온을 함께 사용하였다. 이것을 이용하여 과염소산 이온의 환원분해 효율을 온도를 변화하면서 실험 하였고 재사용 가능성을 점검하였다.
