본 연구는 합성된 zeolitic imidazolate framework-7 (ZIF-7)을 poly(ether-b-amide) 2533 (PEBAX2533)에 혼합하여 혼합막을 제조하고, 단일기체(N₂, CO₂)를 투과하여 기체에 대한 성질을 조사하였다. FT-IR, XRD, FE-SEM을 통해 ZIF-7이 가지는 피크와 형상을 확인하였고, 합성이 잘 되었음을 판단하였다. TGA를 통해 ZIF-7이 우수한 열적 안정성을 가지는 것과 막 내에 혼입되었을 때 순수 PEBAX2533에 비해 열적 안정성이 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. BET를 통해 합성된 ZIF-7의 CO₂ 흡착 능력이 우수하고 CO₂/N₂ 흡착 선택도가 약 49.64로 높은 편이라는 것을 확인하였다. 기체 투과는 혼합막에서 ZIF-7 함량이 증가함에 따라 N₂ 투과도는 감소하고 CO₂ 투과도는 비교적 적게 감소하면서 CO₂/N₂ 선택도는 꾸준히 증가하는 모습을 보였다. 특히 ZIF-7 20 wt%이 첨가되었을 때 CO₂ 투과도가 크게 감소하지 않고 선택도가 상당히 증가하여 Robeson upper-bound에 근접하는 결과를 얻었다.

막 분리공정은 기존의 분리공정이 달성하기 쉽지 않은 많은 공정들을 대체할 수 있기 때문에 관련 학계나 산업체에서 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 특히, 고분자막을 이용한 기체분리공정은 해마다 가파른 성장세를 보이는데 이는 주로 기존의 기체분리공정에 비해 설치가 용이하고 분리공정에 필요한 에너지를 절약할 수 있기 때문이다. 고분자막을 이용한 기체분리의 가장 중요한 요소는 물론 뛰어난 선택적 투과성을 가지는 소재의 개발에 있다. 현재 상업적으로 쓰이고 있는 대부분의 기체분리용 고분자막을 폴리술폰, 폴리카보네이트 및 폴리이미드와 같은 탄화수소계열의 고분자소재이며, 이들은 수소분리, 산소부화, 천연가스에서 이산화탄소분리 등 다양한 용도로 사용되고 있다. 이와는 상대적으로 불소고분자막들에 대한 기체분리특성은 탄화수소계열의 고분자막에 비교하여 그다지 많이 알려지지는 않았다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 무정형 불소고분자로부터 제조된 고분자막에 대한 기체 및 증기분리특성에 대해 자세하게 살펴보고자 한다. 이러한 불소고분자들은 종종 기존의 탄화수소계열의 고분자막과는 상이한 기체 투과 및 분리특성을 보이며, 따라서 본 논문에서는 이러한 기체분리거동을 활용한 적용방안에 대해서도 알아보고자 한다.

Metallic porous materials have many interesting combinations of physical and geometrical properties with very low specific weight or high gas permeability. In this study, highly porous Cu foam is successfully fabricated by a slurry coating process. The Cu foam is fabricated specifically by changing the coating amount and the type of polyurethane foam used as a template. The processing parameters and pore characteristics are observed to identify the key parameters of the slurry coating process and the optimized morphological properties of the Cu foam. The pore characteristics of Cu foam are investigated by scanning electron micrographs and micro-CT analyzer, and air permeability of the Cu foam is measured by capillary flow porometer. We confirmed that the characteristics of Cu foam can be easily controlled in the slurry coating process by changing the microstructure, porosity, pore size, strut thickness, and the cell size. It can be considered that the fabricated Cu foams show tremendous promise for industrial application.

The effect of minor element additions (Ca, Al) on microstructural change and magnetic properties of Fe-Nb-Cu-Si-B alloy has been investigated, in this paper. The Fe-Si-B-Nb-Cu(-Ca-Al) alloys were prepared by arc melting in argon gas atmosphere. The alloy ribbons were fabricated by melt-spinning, and heat-treated under a nitrogen atmosphere at $520-570^{\circ}C$ for 1 h. The soft magnetic properties of the ribbon core were analyzed using the AC B-H meter. A differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) was used to examine the crystallization behavior of the amorphous alloy ribbon. The microstructure was observed by X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM) and scanning electron microscope (SEM). The addition of Ca increased the electrical resistivity to reduce the eddy current loss. And the addition of Al decreased the intrinsic magnetocrystalline anisotropy $K_1$ resulting in the increased permeability. The reduction in the size of the ${\alpha}$-Fe precipitates was observed in the alloys containing of Ca and Al. Based on the results, it can be concluded that the additions of Ca and Al notably improved the soft magnetic properties such as permeability, coercivity and core loss in the Fe-Nb-Cu-Si-B base nanocrystalline alloys.

Low temperature plasma (LTP) treatment was applied to wool fabric with the use of a non-polymerizing gas, namely oxygen. After the LTP treatment, the fabric properties including low-stress mechanical properties, air permeability and thermal properties, were evaluated. The low-stress mechanical properties were evaluated by means of Kawabata Evaluation System Fabric (KES-F) revealing that the tensile, shearing, bending, compression and surface properties were altered after the LTP treatment. The changes in these properties are believed to be related closely to the inter-fiber and inter-yam frictional force induced by the LTP. The decrease in the air permeability of the LTP-treated wool fabric was found to be probably due to the plasma action effect on increasing in the fabric thickness and a change in fabric surface morphology. The change in the thermal properties of the LTP-treated wool fabric was in good agreement with the above findings and can be attributed to the amount of air trapped between the yams and fibers. This study suggested that the LTP treatment can influence the final properties of the wool fabric.

An experimental study on the removal of VOCs gas using a biomembrane reactor were carried out at various inlet gas concentration, specific loading rate, retention time and gas flow rate of volume. The variations of efficiency and various parameters, which are relevant to gas removal, with mixing of soluble gas and without have been discussed. More than 95% of the toluene and methanol present in the feed was successfully removed in each study. The elimination of methanol with mixture of soluble compound of about 300 mg/h corresponds to a portion of 21% if there is a feed stream of 1400 mg/h. On the contrary the maximum efficiency of about 72% of toluene was reached. This is to be rated as a treatment of sorption that the limiting factor of the dismantling speed could be represented by this difficult degradable component. Nevertheless the elimination capacities for this reactor for toluene were on a very high level. For substances which show a very high solubility in silicon rubber an advantage of a bio membrane is clearly shown. Therefore a similarly good result is expected for n-hexane, because of its relatively good permeability which was distinguished during permeation experiments.

The charcoal is known to have gas adsorption capability and is used frequently to mitigate the unpleasant smells from food and clothing. It is also used to treat water to remove dissolved organic and inorganic substances. In this paper, we applied the several different kinds of charcoals to the papers in three different ways to investigate if charcoal application method affects its gas adsorption capability. Wet end addition, making multiply, and coating method were tested. Specific ethylene gas adsorption capabilities were measured. Experimental results shows that manufacturing conditions of the charcoal itself changed its gas adsorption properties. The boxes used for agricultural produces, and the packaging paper for flowers are to be well fitted application for the charcoal added paper. Mulch paper, which needs opacity and air permeability with proper strength properties, is another candidate for the application of charcoal added paper.

A series of hydroxyl-group containing polyimides (HPIs) were prepared in order to investigate the structure-gas permeation property relationship. Each polymer membrane had structural characteristics that varied according to the dianhydride monomers. The imidization processes were monitored using spectroscopic and thermog-ravimetric analyses. The single gas permeability of He, $H_2$, $CO_2$, $O_2$, $N_2$ and $CH_4$ were measured and compared in order to determine the effect of the polymer structure and functional -OH groups on the gas transport properties. Surprisingly, the ideal selectivity of $CO_2/CH_4$ and $H_2/CH_4$ increased with increasing level of -OH incorporation, which affected the diffusion of $H_2$ or the solubility of $CO_2$ in HPIs. For $H_2/CH_4$ separation, the difference in the diffusion coefficients of $H_2$ and $CH_4$ was the main factor for improving the performance without showing any changes in the solubility coefficients. However, the solubility coefficient of $CO_2$ in the HPIs increased at least four fold compared with the conventional polyimide membranes depending on the polymer structures. Based on these results, the polymer membranes modified with -OH groups in the polymer backbone showed favorable gas permeation and separation performance.

The counter-diffusion of two gaseous substances permeating a polymeric membrane has been investigated both experimentally and theoretically. The aim of the study was to find mutual effects, if any, that could influence the permeability and diffusivity data. The experimental data were obtained with an isostatic permeameter operating at ambient pressure and 303 K: helium, nitrogen, carbon dioxide methane were used as permeating gas at different partial pressure; helium or nitrogen as equilibrating or carrier gas. No evident mutual effect of the counter-diffusing gas was observed. The theoretical analysis gave some insight into the phenomena and it was concluded that at near-atmospheric pressures, and in the absence of swelling phenomena no mutual interaction exists. On a theoretical basis any mutual interaction between diffusing and counter-diffusing gases could only occur: i) at high pressures , when the free movement of permeating gas molecules within the polymer is hindered by the counter-diffusing gas; ii) when a large part of the free volume fraction is occupied by the counter--diffusing gas; iii) swelling phenomena modify the structure and free volume fraction of the polymer.
