  • $TiO_2$는 의료기기, 광촉매, 태양전지 등의 여러 분야에 응용이 가능하여 많은 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 그 중 양극산화를 통하여 수직으로 잘 정렬된 나노튜브는 넓은 반응면적, 높은 전자 전도성 등의 장점으로 그 성능을 더욱 향상 시킬 수 있어 많은 연구자들이 이용하고 있다. 양극산화의 특성상 Ti 기판 위에 형성된 나노튜브의 효용성을 높이기 위하여 기판에서 분리하여 membrane의 형태로 이용하기도 한다. 이런 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브 멤브레인의 이용은 주로 오염물의 분해를 위한 광촉매, 염료감응 태양전지의 전극으로 이용되고 있다. 본 연구는 $TiO_2$ 나노튜브 멤브레인에 기체 동위 원소 분리에 이용되는 HKUST-1, ZIF-8 등과 같은 Metal Organic Frame Work (MOF)을 충진 시켜 극저온에서 수소 동위 원소를 분리 하고 자 하는데 있다. 하지만 MOF를 충진하기 위해서는 기존의 $TiO_2$ 나노 튜브 멤브레인보다 더 넓은 내경과 안정성이 요구되는 바이다. 이를 위하여 본 연구에서는 내경을 수백 나노미터 이상으로 확장하기 위한 전해질, 전류(전압) 조건 등에 대하여 연구 하였다. 또한 멤브레인의 안정적인 제조를 위하여 2-step 양극산화 조건, 열처리 조건 등의 변화를 통하여 그 목적을 달성 하고자 하였다.

  • Mercury (Hg) is a global environmental pollutant that has been the cause of many public concerns. One particular concern about Hg in aquatic systems is its trophic transfer and biomagnification in food chains. For example, the Hg concentration increases with the increase of food chain level. Fish at the top of food chain can accumulate high concentrations of Hg (especially the toxic form, methylmercury, MeHg), which is then transferred to humans through seafood consumption. Various biological and physiochemical conditions can significantly affect the bioaccumulation of Hg-including both its inorganic (Hg(II)) and organic (MeHg) forms-in fish. There have been numerous measurements of Hg concentrations in marine and freshwater fish worldwide. Many of these studies have attempted to identify the processes leading to variations of Hg concentrations in fish species from different habitats. The development of a biokinetic model over the past decade has helped improve our understanding of the mechanisms underlying the bioaccumulation processes of Hg in aquatic animals. In this review, I will discuss how the biokinetic modeling approach can be used to reveal the interesting biodynamics of Hg in fish, such as the trophic transfer and exposure route of Hg(II) and MeHg, as well as growth enrichment (the increases in Hg concentration with fish size) and biomass dilution (the decreases in Hg concentration with increasing phytoplankton biomass). I will also discuss the relevance of studying the subcellular fates of Hg to predict the Hg bioaccessibility and detoxification in fish. Future challenges will be to understand the inter- and intra-species differences in Hg accumulation and the management/mitigation of Hg pollution in both marine and freshwater fish based on our knowledge of Hg biodynamics.

  • The assessment of wind-induced motion plays an important role in the development and design of the majority of today's structures that push the limits of engineering knowledge. A vital part of the design is the prediction of wind-induced tall building motion and the assessment of its effects on occupant comfort. Little of the research that has led to the development of the various international standards for occupant comfort criteria have considered the effects of the low-frequency motion on task performance and interference with building occupants' daily activities. It has only recently become more widely recognized that it is no longer reasonable to assume that the level of motion that a tall building undergoes in a windstorm will fall below an occupants' level of perception and little is known about how this motion perception could also impact on task performance. Experimental research was conducted to evaluate the performance of individuals engaged in a manual tracking task while subjected to low level vibration in the frequency range of 0.125 Hz-0.50 Hz. The investigations were carried out under narrow-band random vibration with accelerations ranging from 2 milli-g to 30 milli-g (where 1 milli-g = 0.0098 $m/s^2$) and included a control condition. The frequencies and accelerations simulated are representative of the level of motion expected to occur in a tall building (heights in the range of 100 m -350 m) once every few months to once every few years. Performance of the test subjects with and without vibration was determined for 15 separate test conditions and evaluated in terms of time taken to complete a task and accuracy per trial. Overall, the performance under the vibration conditions did not vary significantly from that of the control condition, nor was there a statistically significant degradation or improvement trend in performance ability as a function of increasing frequency or acceleration.

  • 본 연구에서는 용매열합성법(solvothermal method)을 이용하여 매크로 기공의 알루미나 튜브 지지체 위에 나노기공 $Cu_3(BTC)_2$ 분리막을 제조하였다. In-situ 용매열합성법을 이용하는 경우, 매크로 기공의 알루미나 지지체 위에 균일한 핵생성과 성장을 통해 연속적이고 균열이 없는 $Cu_3(BTC)_2$ 층을 형성하기 어렵다. 본 연구에서는 용매열합성 전에 알루미나 지지체 표면을 $200^{\circ}C$로 가열한 상태에서 Cu 전구체 용액을 분무하여 지지체 표면을 개질한 후, 용매열합성법을 수행하여 연속적이고 균열이 없는 $Cu_3(BTC)_2$ 튜브형 분리막을 제조할 수 있었다. 합성된 $Cu_3(BTC)_2$ 분리막은 XRD, FE-SEM 및 기체투과 실험 등을 통해 분석하였다. $5{\mu}m$의 두께를 가진 $Cu_3(BTC)_2$ 튜브형 분리막을 통한 단일기체 투과실험 결과, $80^{\circ}C$에서 $H_2$가 가지는 투과도는 $7.8{\times}10^{-7}mol/s{\cdot}m^2{\cdot}Pa$이고, $H_2/N_2$, $H_2/CO_2$의 이상선택도는 각각 11.94, 12.82로 계산되었다.
