We fabricated protein chip plates coated with silane carboxylate. The silane compound was immobilized by hydrogen bond and/or other chemical bonds on the surface of the plate. The plates were then prepared by binding $Ni^{2+}$ to surfaces terminated with silane carboxylate groups. The carboxylic acid surface was generated by chemical oxidation of the terminal double-bond functions of the silane-deposited layer. The $Ni^{2+}$ ions on the surface reacted readily to His-tagged proteins. A significant increase in His-tagged protein adsorption was achieved on the surface terminated with silane carboxylate with longer alkyl chain, suggesting better availability of these protein chip plates for proteomic studies.

Brown oxide and/or black oxide layers were formed on the surface of Cu-based leadframe by chemical oxidation of leadframe in hot alkaline solutions, and their growth characteristics were studied. Then, to measure the adhesion strength between leadframe and epoxy molding compound (EMC), oxidized leadframe samples were molded with EMC and machined to form sandwiched double-cantilever beam (SDCB) specimens and pull-out specimens, respectively. Results showed that the adhesion strength of un-oxidized leadframe/EMC interface was inherently very poor but could be increased drastically with the nucleation of acicular CuO precipitates on the surface of leadframe. The presence of smooth faceted $Cu_2O $ on the surfaces of leadframe gave close to zero interfacial fracture toughness (Gc) and reasonable pull strength (PS). A direct correlation between Gc and PS showed that PS can be a measure of Gc only in a limited range.

For practical application on the HCCI engine, the solution of subjects, such as control of auto-ignition timing and avoidance of knocking, is indispensable. This study focused on the technique of controlling HCCI combustion appropriately, changing the mixture ratio of two kinds of fuel. Methane and DME/n-Butane were selected as fuels. The influences, which the mixing ratio of two fuels does to ignition timing, ignition temperature, rate of heat release and oxidation reaction process, were investigated by experiment with 4-stroke HCCI engine and numerical calculation with elementary reactions.

We fabricated anodic aluminium oxides (AAO) on Si and sapphire substrates from the electrochemical reactions of thin AI films in an aqueous solution of oxalic acid. The thin AI films have deposited on Si and Sapphire substructure by using E-beam evaporation and thermal evaporation, respectively. The formation of AAO structures has investigated from FE-SEM measurement image and showed randomly distributed phase of nanoholes instead of the periodic lattice of photonic crystals. The AAO structure on sapphire shows the double layers of nanoholes.

Popcorn cracking phenomena frequently occur in thin plastic packages during the solder reflow process, which are definitely affected by poor adhesion of Cu-based leadframe to epoxy molding compounds (EMCs). In the present work, in order to enhance the adhesion strength, a brown-oxide treatment on the Cu-based leadframe was carried out and the adhesion strength of leadframe/EMC interface was measured in terms of fracture toughness by using sandwiched double-cantilever beam (SDCB) specimens. After the adhesion tests, fracture surfaces were analyzed by SEM, AES, EDS and AFM to make the failure path clear. Results showed that failure path was closely related to the oxidation time and the interfacial fracture toughness.

The oxidation treatment of needle cokes with 70 wt% of nitric acid and sodium chlorate ($NaClO_3$) was attempted to achieve an electrochemically active material with a large capacitance. The structure of needle cokes was changed to graphite oxide after oxidation treatment of needle cokes with acidic solution having the composition ratio, $NaClO_3$/needle cokes, of 7.5, and the inter-layer distance of the oxidized needle cokes was extended to $6.9{\AA}$with increasing oxygen content. On the other hand, the electrochemical performance of oxidized needle cokes as a polarized electrode for an Electric Double Layer Capacitor (EDLC) was examined with an electrolyte of 1.2 M $TEABF_4$ (tetraethylammonium tetrafluoroborate) and $TEABF_4$ (triethylmethylammonium tetrafluoroborate) in acetonitrile. The capacitor cell using 1.2 M $TEABF_4$/acetonitrile has exhibited smaller electric resistance of $0.05{\Omega}$, and larger capacitance per weight and volume of 32.0 F/g and 25.5 F/mL at the two-electrode system in the potential range 0~2.5 V than that of the capacitor cell using $TEABF_4$. The observed electrochemical performance was discussed with the correlation between the inter-layer distance in graphite oxide structure and the anionic size of electrolyte.

Bleaching effect of ozone on unsaturated coloring material was compared quantitatively with the change of composition of reactants through the ozone oxidation of ${\beta}$-carotene. Beeswax colorized by carotenoids was reacted with ozone in water, 0.5 % and 1.0 % sodium hydroxide solution, and 20 % and 95 % acetic acid solution and bleaching effect of each reaction condition was compared with each other. And then the additive effect of hydrogen peroxide was investigated. Decrease of unsaturated double bond of ${\beta}$-carotene was proportioned quantitatively to the bleaching effect of ozone on ${\beta}$-carotene and was in accordance with the bleaching effect on beeswax. The bleaching effect of ozone on coloring material in 1.0 % sodium hydroxide solution was better than any other condition and the absorbance of beeswax at 390 nm was improved to 0.045 with the addition of hydrogen peroxide(2 % of wax). For the bleaching of beeswax, it was concluded that the ozone oxidation was more effective than physical adsorption.

5 bed sand filter, applying biological oxidation, was designed and studied on the treatment of water works. Never using any coagulant agent (drugs), which may cause water pollution in pre-treatment of head water, the auther attempt a high rate filtration by the microorganism (nitrofication bacteria) end plant which populate in multi layer sand beds. The result are as follows : In order to evaluate the oxygen effect on filtration, oxygen was injected in aeration tank attached to each filter tank while filtration, and $NH_3$ was tested as a representaiive ingredient. It was found out that the aeration method was more effective, with over 33% of $NH_3$ removal capacity, than the anerobic and this 5 bed filter showed double removal capacity of $NH_3$ by comparing with conventional sand bed (2 stage bed). According to the examination of two kind of head water, pre-treated with coagulant agent and activated carton, the filtration capacity was affected by the polluted condition of head water, resulting that lower value of pollution and slower velocity of filtration showed more efficiency of $NH_3$ removal. In this experiment $NH_3$ content tested in treated water had a fairly good correlation with others.

Accident Tolerant Fuels have been widely studied since the Fukushima-Daiichi accident in 2011 as one of the options on how to further enhance the safety of nuclear power plants. Deposition of protective coatings on nuclear fuel claddings has been considered as a near-term concept that will reduce the high-temperature oxidation rate and enhance accidental tolerance of the cladding while providing additional benefits during normal operation and transients. This study focuses on experimental testing of Zr-based alloys coated with Cr-based coatings using Physical Vapour Deposition. The results of long-term corrosion tests, as well as tests simulating postulated accidents, are presented. Zr-1%Nb alloy used as nuclear fuel cladding serves as a substrate and Cr, CrN, Cr_xN_y layers are deposited by unbalanced magnetron sputtering and reactive magnetron sputtering. The deposition procedures are optimized in order to improve coating properties. Coated as well as reference uncoated samples were experimentally tested. The presented results include standard long-term corrosion tests at 360℃ in WWER water chemistry, burst (creep) tests and mainly single and double-sided high-temperature steam oxidation tests between 1000 and 1400℃ related to postulated Loss-of-coolant accident and Design extension conditions. Coated and reference samples were characterized pre- and post-testing using mechanical testing (microhardness, ring compression test), Thermal Evolved Gas Analysis analysis (hydrogen, oxygen concentration), optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy (EDS, WDS, EBSD) and X-ray diffraction.
