Commercially available continuous glucose sensors require the operation stability for more than two weeks. Typically, the sensor comprises a sensing layer and an over-coating layer for the stable operation inside the body. In the sensing layer, enzymes and mediators are cross-linked together for the effective sensing of the glucose. The over-coating layer limits the flux of glucose and works as a biocompatible layer to the body fluids. Here, we report the simple preparation of the flux-limiting layer by the condensation of polyethyleneimine (PEI), tri-epoxide linker, and trimethylolpropane triglycidyl ether (PTGE). The sensor is constructed by a layer-by-layer drop-coating of the sensing layer containing glucose dehydrogenase and the PEI-derived blocking layer. It is stable for more than 14 days, which is enough for the sensor in the continuous monitor glucose monitoring (CGM) system.

전기투석 공정에서 이온교환막 표면에 형성되는 스케일 영향을 조사하기 위해 장기간 동안 운전되었다. 탈염공정 동안, $Ca^{2+}$과 $SO_4^{2-}$ 이온의 농도는 농축실에서 연속적으로 증가하였으며 양이온교환막(Neosepta CMX)표면에 침전이 발생하였다. 초기 스케일 형성동안, 공정성능과 막 특성의 변화는 농축실 염농도 증가에 기인하여 일어나는 양이온교환막의 하계전류밀도가 감소하는 것을 제외하곤 미미하였다. 공정운전이 진행됨에 따라 양이온교환막의 한계전류밀도는 물의 해리 현상이 진행되어 $300\;A/m^2$까지 감소하였다. 막 오염은 농축실에서 양이온교환막 표면에 형성된 스케일과 물의 해리현상에 의해 유발된다는 결론을 얻었으며, 이러한 스케일 형성은 $CaSO_4$의 용해도에 의해 예측 가능한 것을 알 수 있었다.

Ussing's flux ratio theorem (1978) reflects a reciprocal relationship behavior between the unidirectional fluxes in asymmetric steady diffusion-convection in a membrane slab. This surprising result has led to many subsequent studies in a wide range of applications, in particular involving linear models of time dependent problems in biology and physiology. Ussing's theorem and its extensions are inherently linear in character. It is of considerable interest to ask to what extent these results apply, if at all, in situations involving, for example, nonlinear reaction. A physiologically interesting situation has been considered by Weisiger et at. (1989, 1991, 1992) and by McNabb et al. (1990, 1991) who studied the role of albumin in the transport of ligands across aqueous diffusion barriers in a liver membrane slab. The results are that there exist reciprocal relationships between unidirectional fluxes in the steady state, although albumin is chemically interacting in a nonlinear way of the diffusion processes. However, the results do not hold in general at early times. Since this type of study first started, it has been speculated about when and how the Ussing's flux ratio theorem fails in a general diffusion-convection-reaction system. In this paper we discuss the validity of Ussing-type theorems in time-dependent situations, and consider the limiting time behavior of a general nonlinear diffusion system with interaction.

이온교환막의 전압-전류곡선의 plateau length를 결정하는 변수를 다양한 NaCl 농도와 유속 하에서 연구하였다. 또한, 한계전류밀도 이상의 전류에서 전기투석공정 운전의 타당성을 검토하기 위해 다양한 전류밀도의 전원을 공급하면서 0.1 M NaCl 용액의 탈염실험을 실시하여 이온의 제거효율, 전류효율, 에너지소비량, 물 분해 현상을 측정하였다. NaCl 용액의 농도와 유속이 감소하면서 확산경계층의 두께도 함께 감소하였으며, 본 확산경계층의 두께는 plateau length와도 밀접한 관련이 있는 것으로 나타났다. 탈염실험에서 측정된 이온 제거 효율 및 전류효율은 한계전류밀도 이상에서도 한계전류밀도 이하에서의 탈염실험과 크게 차이 나지 않은 것으로 보아 한계전류밀도 이상에서도 대부분의 전류는 이온교환막 표면의 물분해에 의한 것이 아니라 막을 통한 이온의 이동에 의한 것으로 사료된다. 한계전류밀도 이상에서의 탈염운전에 대한 에너지소비량은 plateau length의 영향으로 한계전류밀도 이하에서의 탈염운전 보다 다소 높지만, 한계전류밀도 이상에서는 전류밀도의 증가에도 에너지소비량이 증가하지 않았다. 이러한 결과들은 물분해 현상이 심각하게 일어나지 않는 한 한계전류밀도 이상에서도 매우 경제적으로 전기투석 공정을 운전찬 수 있다는 것을 제시해 주는 것이다.

Ethanol이 암세포 증식 속도에 미치는 직접적인 영향 검색의 일환으로 배양된 mouse myeloma cell line Sp2/0-Ag14로부터 분리한 형질막 (Sp2/0-PMV) 유동성에 미치는 ethanol의 영향을 형광분석법으로 측정하였다. 그 결과 ethanol은 Sp2/0-PMV 지질 이중층 측방확산운동의 범위와 속도를 증가시켰고 회전확산운동 범위도 증가시켰다. 특히 ethanol은 Sp2/0-PMV 지질이중층 중 내부단층 (inner monolayer)에 비하여 비교적 선택적으로 외부단층 (outer monolayer)의 회전확산운동 범위를 증가시킨다는 것을 확인하였다.

Intramolecular excimer formation of 1, 3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane (Py-3-Py) and fluorescence polarization of 1, 6-diphenyl-1, 3, 5-hexatriene (DPH) were used to investigate the effects of barbiturates on the fluidity of model membranes of phosphatidycholine (SPMVPC), phosphatidylserine (SPMVPS), and phosphatidylinositol (SPMVPI) fractions of synaptosomal plasma membrane vesicles (SPMV) isolated from bovine cerebral cortex. In a dose-dependent manner, barbiturates decreased the excimer to monomer fluorescence intensity ratio (I'/I) of Py-3-Py and increased the anisotropy(r), rotational relaxation time (P), limiting anisotropy $(r_infty)$, and order parameter (S) of DPH in SPMVPC, SPMVPS and SPMVPI. This indicates that barbiturates decreased both the lateral and rotational diffusion of the probes in SPMVPC, SPMVPS and SPMVPI. The relative potencies of barbiturates in ordering the membranes were in the order: pentobarbital > hexobarbital > amobarbital > phenobarbital. This order correlates well with the anesthetic potencies of barbiturates and the potencies for enhancement of $\gamma$-aminobutyric acid-stimulated chloride uptake. Thus, it is strongly suggested that a close relationship might exist between the membrane ordering effects of barbiturates and the chloride fluxes across SPMV.

Intramolecular excimer formation of 1,3-di(1-pyrenyl)propane (Py-3-Py) and fluorescence polarization of 1,6-diphenyl-1,3,5-hexatriene (DPH) were used to investigate the effects of parathyroid hormone (PTH) on the bulk bilayer fluidity of the plasma membrane vesicles isolated from cultured osteoblasts (OB-PMV). In a dose-dependent manner, rat PTH-(1-34) [rPTH-(1-34)] increased the excimer to monomer fluorescence intensity ratio (I'/I) of Py-3-Py and decreased the anisotropy (r) of DPH in OB-PMV. This indicates that PTH increased both the lateral and rotational diffusion of the probes in OB-PMY. Selective quenching of DPH fluorescence by trinitrophenyl groups was utilized to examine the transbilayer fluidity asymmetry of OB-PMV. The anisotropy, limiting anisotropy, and order parameter of DPH in the inner monolayer were 0.024, 0.032, and 0.062 greater than calculated for the outer monolayer of OB-PMY. Selective quenching of DPH fluorescence by trinitrophenyl groups was also utilized to examine the transbilayer effects of PTH on the fluidity of OB-PMV. rPTH-(1-34) had a greater fluidizing effect on the outer monolayer as compared to the inner monolayer of OB-PMV. Thus, it has been proven that PTH exhibits a selective rather than nonselective fluidizing effect within transbilayer domains of OB-PMV.

The feasibility of producing sulfuric acid and ammonia water from ammonium sulfate was investigated by an integrated process including ammonia stripping (AS) and electrodialysis with bipolar membrane (EDBM). It was suggested that the production of sulfuric acid using ammonia stripping-electrodialysis with bipolar membrane (ASEDBM) was effective in obtaining high concentration of sulfuric acid compared with EDBM alone. AS was carried out over pH 11 and within the range of temperatures, $20^{\circ}C{\~}60^{\circ}C$. Sodium sulfate obtained using AS was used as the feed solution of EDBM. The recovery of ammonia increased from $40\%$ to $80\%$ at $60^{\circ}C$ due to the increased mobility of ammonium ion. A pilot-scale EDBM system, which is composed of two compartments and 10 cell pairs with an effective membrane area of $200 cm^2$ per cell, was used for the recovery of sulfuric acid. The performance was examined in the range of 0.1 M${\~}$1.0 M concentration of concentrate compartment and of $25 mA/cm^2{\~}62.5 mA/cm^2$ of current density. The maximum current efficiency of $64.9\%$ was obtained at 0.1 M sulfuric acid because the diffusion rate at the anion exchange membrane decreased as the sulfuric acid of the concentrate compartment decreased. It was possible to obtain the 2.5 M of sulfuric acid in the $62.5 mA/cm^2$ with a power consumption of 13.0 kWh/ton, while the concentration of sulfuric acid was proportional to the current density below the limiting current density (LCD). Thus, the integrating process of AS-EDBM enables to recover sulfuric acid from the wastewaters containing ammonium sulfate.

$H_2$ permeation flux though a $100{\mu}m-thick$ Pd-Ru (6wt%) membrane was measured at various temperatures and pressures. The permeation flux followed the Sievert's law and thus the rate-limiting step of the hydrogen permeation was the bulk atomic diffusion step. The activation energy of the permeation flux was obtained at 17.9 kJ/mol and this value is consistent with those published previously. While no degradation of the permeation flux wasfound in the membrane exposed to the $O_2$ and $CO_2$ environments for 100 hours, the membrane exposed to $N_2$ environment for 100 hours showed the degradation in the $H_2$ permeation flux. The $H_2$ permeation was decreased as the exposure temperature to $N_2$, environment was increased. The $H_2$ permeation flux was fully recovered after the membrane was kept in the $H_2$ environment for certain time. The permeation flux degradation might be caused by the formation of metal nitride on the membrane surface.

고분자전해질 연료전지는 $60{\sim}80^{\circ}C$ 운전 온도에서 개질 가스에 약간의 일산화탄소만 있어도 백금 표면에 CO가 강하게 흡착하여 촉매기능을 방해한다. 본 연구에서는 일산화탄소를 산화시키기 위해 Ru/C 층(CO 필터)을 Pt/C 층과 가스 확산층(GDL) 사이에 위치 시켰다. Ru/C 필터는 PEMFC anode가 좋은 CO 내성을 갖게 했으나 Ru/C 필터 두께로 인한 물질전달 저항과 전하 전달 저항증가에 의한 단위전지 성능저하가 0.6 V에서 약 10% 있었다. 고분자막의 열화는 PEMFC 수명을 단축시키는 주요 원인이 되고 있다. 막 내구성은 전극의 촉매 종류에 영향을 받을 수 있다. 가속실험결과 Ru/C 촉매가 불소유출 속도를 향상시킴을 보임으로써 Ru/C 촉매 첨가가 PEMFC 수명을 단축시킬 수 있음을 보였다.
