고체산화물 연료전지(SOFC)에서 사용되는 연결재의 주 기능은 각 단위 셀의 연료극과 다음 셀의 공기극을 전기적으로 연결하여, 공기와 사용연료의 분리역할을 하기위해 사용된다. SOFC용 연결재는 다른 구성요소 소재보다 높은 전기전도성, 낮은 이온전도성이 요구되며 SOFC는 고온에서 작동되기 때문에 다른 구성 소재들과 유사한 열팽창계수와 물리, 화학적인 안정성이 요구된다. 현재 연결재 제조기술은 plasma coating, sputtering, screen printing, 전사법등 다양한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 저렴한 비용으로 대량생산이 용이한 고상반응법을 적용하여 세라믹연결재를 제조하고, 그 특성을 연구하였다. 세라믹 연결재로서 선정한 합성조성은 $(La_{0.7}Ca_{0.3})(Cr_{0.9}Co_{0.1})O_3$로 SOFC 작동온도에서 높은 전기전도도를 나타낸다. LCCO 연결재를 1300, 1400 및 $1500^{\circ}C$에서 합성을 진행하였을 때 출발원료로 $CaCO_3$를 $CaF_2$로 대체하였을 때의 소결특성을 평가하였고, SEM과 XRD분석을 통하여 균질하고 결정성이 우수한 분말이 합성된 것을 확인하였고 DC impedance analyzer를 사용하여 전기전도도를 측정하였다. TMA를 사용하여 열팽창계수를 측정한 결과 YSZ(${\sim}10.8{\times}10^{-6}/^{\circ}C$)와 동일한 값을 나타내었다.

우수한 압전성을 가지는 PZT는 인체에 유해한 다량의 PbO을 함유하여 심각한 환경문제를 야기함은 물론 제조 공정 중 PbO 휘발 억제 시설 구비에 따른 경제적 부담 등 문제점이 지적되었다. 따라서 환경오염 및 가격경쟁력을 갖추기 위해 현재 무연 조성 세라믹스에 대한 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 최근 비납계 압전 세라믹의 연구는 비스무스 레이어형과 페로브스카이트 형 비납계 세라믹스의 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히 $(Na,K)NbO_3$ 계는 페로브스카이트 구조를 가지는 비납계 세라믹으로 현재 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이 물질은 PZT계와 유사하게 상전이(morphotropic phase boundary:MPB)영역을 가지고 있 으며 이 영역에서 높은 압전 특성을 보여주고 있다. 최근 $Na_{0.5}K_{0.5}NbO_3$에 $LiTaO_3$를 치환하여 우수한 압전 특성을 지니는 조성이 개발되고 있지만, 보통 소성법으로 제조된 세라믹스는 PZT계 세라믹스와 비교하여 특성이 떨어진다. 본 연구에서는 압전성이 우수한 $(Na_{0.44}K_{0.52}Li_{0.44})(Nb_{0.90}Sb_{0.06}Ta_{0.04})O_3$ 조성에 도너 도핑과 억셉터 도핑을 한 다음 전기기계결합계수, 압전상수, 유전상수의 변화를 평가하고, hardener 와 softener 특성이 본조성에서 나타나는지를 관찰하였다. 실험방법은 보통 소성법을 사용하였으며, 분쇄와 혼합은 직경 3 mm zirconia ball을 사용하여 볼밀 하였다. $850^{\circ}C$ 에서 5h 하소 후 $1100{\sim}1200^{\circ}C$ 에서 소결하고, 두께 1 mm로 연마한 다음 silver paste를 $650^{\circ}C$ 에서 소부하여 전극을 형성하였다. 제작된 시편은 $90^{\circ}C$의 실리콘유에서 3~4 kV/mm의 전계를 가해 20분간 분극 처리를 수행하였다. 제작된 시편의 압전전하 상수 값은 d33-meter(APC-8000)를 이용하여 측정하였고, 유전율, 전기기계결합계수 및 기계적품질계수 등은 임피던스 분석기 (impedance/gain phase analyzer)를 이용하여 특성을 측정 하였다. 또한 전압-분극 특성의 평가에는 강유전특성 측정기(ferroelectric tester: Precision-LC, Radiant Technologies, USA)를 이용하였다.

The corrosion behaviors of twinning-induced plasticity (TWIP) steels with different alloying elements (Cu, Al, Si) in a neutral aqueous environment were investigated in terms of the characteristics of the corrosion products formed on the steel surface. The corrosion behavior was evaluated by measuring potentiodynamic polarization test and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy. For compositional analysis of the corrosion products formed on the steel surface, an electron probe x-ray micro analyzer was also utilized. This study showed that the addition of Cu to the steel contributed to the increase in corrosion resistance to a certain extent by the presence of metallic Cu in discontinuous form at the oxide/steel interface. Compared to the case of steel with Cu, the Al-bearing specimen exhibited much higher polarization resistance and lower corrosion current by the formation of a thin Al-enriched oxide layer. On the other hand, Si addition (3.0 wt%) to the steel led to an increase in grain size, which was twice as large as that of the other specimens, resulting in a deterioration of the corrosion resistance. This was closely associated with the localized corrosion attacks along the grain boundaries by the formation of a galvanic couple with a large cathode-small anode.

In this study, microscale, high-performance, solenoid-type RF chip inductors were investigated. The size of the RF chip inductors fabricated in this work was 1.0${\times}$0.5${\times}$0.5㎣. The materials (96% Al2O3) and shape (I-type) of the core were determined by a Maxwell three-dimensional field simulator to maximize the performance of the inductors. The copper (Cu) wire with 40${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ diameter was used as the coils. High frequency characteristics of the inductance (L), quality-factor (Q), and capacitance (C) of developed inductors were measured using an RF Impedance/Material Analyzer (HP4291B with HP16193A test fixture). The inductors developed have inductances of 11 to 39 nH and quality factors of 28 to 50 over the frequency ranges of 250MHz to 1 GHz, and show results comparable to those measured for the inductors prepared by CoilCraf $t^{Tm}$ that is one of the best chip inductor company in the world. The simulated data predicted the high-frequency data of the L, Q, and C of the inductors developed well.l.

The development of low-k materials is essential for modern semiconductor processes to reduce the cross-talk, signal delay and capacitance between multiple layers. The effect of the $CH_4$ concentration on the formation of SiOC(-H) films and their dielectric characteristics were investigated. SiOC(-H) thin films were deposited on Si(100)/$SiO_2$/Ti/Pt substrates by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) with $SiH_4$, $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ gas mixtures. After the deposition, the SiOC(-H) thin films were annealed in an Ar atmosphere using rapid thermal annealing (RTA) for 30min. The electrical properties of the SiOC(-H) films were then measured using an impedance analyzer. The dielectric constant decreased as the $CH_4$ concentration of low-k SiOC(-H) thin film increased. The decrease in the dielectric constant was explained in terms of the decrease of the ionic polarization due to the increase of the relative carbon content. The spectrum via Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy showed a variety of bonding configurations, including Si-O-Si, H-Si-O, Si-$(CH_3)_2$, Si-$CH_3$ and $CH_x$ in the absorbance mode over the range from 650 to $4000\;cm^{-1}$. The results showed that dielectric properties with different $CH_4$ concentrations are closely related to the (Si-$CH_3$)/[(Si-$CH_3$)+(Si-O)] ratio.

The purpose of this study was to determine the incidence of malnutrition among patients on admission to hospital, to monitor changes in their nutritional status during hospitalization, and to determine the factors which might affect changes in nutritional status. The subjects for the study were patients who were admitted to general medicine for more than one week. Patients suffering from cardiovascular. renal disease, or dehydration were excluded. Nutritional assessment of the patients was performed on admission and nutritional status was reassessed one week and two weeks after admission. The nutritional assessment tool consisted of subjective history taking and anthropometric measurements. Biochemical measurements were performed only on admission. For anthropometric assessment : patients' body weight, subcutaneous skinfolds thickness, % of body fat, body mass index, and lean body mass were measured using caliper or Bio impedance Analyzer. Factors which might influence current nutritional status, like dietary intake, anorexia, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, sleep disturbance, and number of days of NPO for diagnostic examinations were analyzed. The results are as follows : 1. Of the 59 patients who were studied, 61% were male and 39% female. The nutritional status of all of the 59 subjects was reassessed one week after admission, but it was only done for 22 subjects at two weeks. 2. The anthropometric measurements. including weight body mass index, lean body mass, body fat. and skin fold thickness. were all significantly decreased at one week after admission compared to the values at admission. On the other hand, two weeks after admission, only body weight and abdominal skinfolds thickness were decreased. 3. The subjects reported anorexia for an average of two days, sleep disturbance for two days, and no food intake due to diagnostic test for one day. In the second week of hospitalization, almost none of the patients complained of gastrointestinal symptoms or sleep disturbance except anorexia. Food consumption which was measured based on rice intake was 60% of the food served during the first week of hospitalization, and 66% during the second week of hospitalization. 4. There was no correlation between the subjective nutritional assessment and anthropometric assessment. 5. There was no statistical significance in anthropometric measurements among the patients with various diseases whereas sleep disturbance and no food intake due to various diagnostic test was prominent in patients with gastrointestinal diseases.

The paper experimentally deals with the radial in-plane vibration characteristics of disk-shaped piezoelectric transducers. The radial in-plane motion, which is induced due to Poisson's ratio in the piezoelectric disk polarized in the thickness direction, was measured by using an in-plane laser vibrometer, and the natural frequencies were measured by using an impedance analyzer. The experimental results have been compared with theoretical predictions obtained by simplified theoretical and finite-element analyses. It appears that the fundamental mode of a piezoelectric disk transducer is a radial mode and its radial displacement distribution from the center to the perimeter is not monotonic but shows maximum slightly apart from the perimeter. The theoretically-calculated fundamental frequencies agree well with the finite-element results for small thickness-to-diameter ratio, and they are accurate within 7 % error for the ratio up to 0.4.

The ionic liquid-based sulfonated hydrocarbon composite membranes was prepared for use in anhydrous high temperature-polymer electrolyte fuel cells (HT-PEFCs). Ionic liquid behaves like water in the composite membranes under anhydrous condition. However the composite membranes show a low conductivity and high gas permeability as the content of ionic liquid increases due to its high viscosity and content of ionic liquid, respectively. Hence, in order to enhance the proton conductivity and to reduce the gas permeability of the composite membranes with low content of ionic liquids, the acid containing a common ion of ionic liquid was added to the composite membranes. The characterization of composite membranes was carried out using small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA) and impedance spectroscopy. As a result, the composite membranes containing acid showed higher proton conductivity than those with no acid under the un-humidified condition due to a decrease in viscosity. In addition, the proton conductivity of composite membranes increased with increasing mole concentration of acid.

As the stainless steel has good corrosion resistance, mechanical property and ease of manufacture, it has been studied as the candidate material of metallic bipolar plate for automotive PIMFC. But, metal is dissolved under fuel cell operating conditions Dissolved ions contaminate a membrane electrode assembly (MEA) and, decrease the fuel cell performance. In addition, metal oxide formation on the surface of stainless steel increases the contact resistance in the fuel cell. These problems have been acted as an obstacle in the application of stainless steel to bipolar plate. Therefore, many kinds of coating technologies have been examined in order to solve these problems. In this study, stainless steel was coated in order to achieve high conductivity and corrosion resistance by several methods. Contact resistance was measured by using a tensile tester and impedance analyzer Corrosion characteristics of coated stainless steel were examined by Tafel-extrapolation method from the polarization curves in a solution simulating the anodic and cathodic environment of PEMFC. Fuel cell performance was also evaluated by single cell test. We tested various coated metal bipolar plate and conventional and graphite were also tested as comparative samples. In the result, coated stainless steel bipolar plate exhibited better cell performance than graphite to bipolar plate.
