Sulfunated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) (60%)와 Poly(ether sulfone) (PES) (40%)의 블렌드에 다양한 종류의 polysilsesquioxane (PSQ)구를 첨가하여 전해질 막을 제조하였다. 이 때 PSQ구의 양은 10 wt%로 고정하였다. 제조된 막을 사용하여 PSQ 구의 종류에 따른 메탄올 투과도, 수소 이온 전도도, 그리고 이온 교환 용량의 변화를 측정한 결과 모든 경우에 있어서 수소 이온 전도도와 메탄올 투과도가 Nafion 117보다 낮았으며 PSQ 구를 함유하지 않은 SPEEK/PES(6:4) 블렌드보다는 높았다. 특히, MS64구와 VTMOS구를 포함한 전해질 막의 경우에는 수소 이온 전도도와 메탄올 투과도의 비로 나타내는 선택도가 25℃에서 Nafion 117보다 2배 이상 높았다.

유 무기 혼성 막의 계열은 티타니움 디옥사이드 나노파티클 함량의 체계적인 변화에 의해 조제된다. 유 무기 혼성 막의 수분함량, 메탄올 투과도와 전자 전도 특성은 무기 산화물의 함량의 기능에 따라 연구된다. 그 결과 망상구조의 무기 산화물은 전자 전도 특성과 수분함량의 감소를 보였다. 또한 무기 산화물의 함량이 증가할수록 메탄올 투과도도 감소함을 나타내었다. 형태학적인 관점에서 막은 폴리머 기반과 무기영역 사이에 균일하고 잘 점착됨을 보여준다. 혼성막의 특성은 나피온막과 비교 실험되었다.

Layer-by-layer assembled multilayers of poly(ethersulfone)s were deposited on the surface of Nafion membrane for the application of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC). Aminated poly(ethersulfone) (APES) and sulfonated poly(ethersulfone) (SPES) were used as a polycation and a polyanion for fabrication of the multilayer films. UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy verified a linear build-up of the multilayers of APES and SPES on the surface of Nafion. Thin multilayer films deposited on the Nafion membrane enabled methanol permeability of the membrane to decrease by 78% in comparison with the pristine Nafion. The performance of DMFCs in concentrated methanol was highly enhanced by using the multilayer modified Nafion.

The relation between the phase separated morphologies and their transport properties in the polymer blend membrane for direct methanol fuel cell application was studied. In order to enhance the proton conductivity and reduce the methanol crossover, sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) copolymer, with a sulfonation of 60 mol% (sPAES-60), was blended with nonsulfonated poly(ether sulfone) copolymer (RH-2000, Solvay). Various morphologies were obtained by varying the drying condition and the concentration of the casting solution (10, 15, 20 wt%). The transport properties of proton and methanol molecule through the polymer blend membranes were studied according to the absorbed water. AC impedance spectroscopy was used to measure the proton conductivity and a liquid permeability measuring instrument was designed to measure the methanol permeability. The state of water in the blend membranes was confirmed by differential scanning calorimetry and was used to correlate the morphology of the membrane with the membrane transport properties.

A series of inorganic-organic hybrid membranes were prepared with a systematic variation of titanium dioxidenanoparticles content. Their water uptake, methanol permeability and proton conductivity as a function of inorganic oxide content were investigated. The results obtained show that the inorganic oxide network decreases the proton conductivity and water swelling. It is also found that increase in inorganic oxide content leads to decrease of methanol permeability. In terms of the morphology, membranes are homogeneous and exhibit a good adhesion between inorganic domains and the polymer matrix. The properties of the composite membranes are compared with the standard nation membrane.

본 연구는 직접메탄을 연료전지(Direct Methanol Fuel Cell, DMFC)용 전해질 막으로 이용되는 양이온교환막의 개발에 관한 것이다. 투과증발공정에서 메탄을 Barrier로 잘 알려져 있는 Poly(vinyl alcohol)을 Base polymer로 사용하고 양이온 교환기가 포함되어 있는 Poly(acrylic acid)를 가교제로 사용하여 가교제의 함량변화에 따른 메탄을 투과도(Methanol permeability), 이온전도도(Ion conductivity), 이온교환용량(Ion exchange capacity), 함수율(Water content), 고정이온농도(Fixed ion concentration)를 통해 막 특성을 측정하였다. 메탄올 투과도와 이온전도도는 가교제인 PAA함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하다가 15%이상에서는 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 이것은 가교제의 함량증가로 인한 가교의 영향과 가교제에 포함되어 있는 친수성기의 도입으로 이와 같은 결과가 나타난다고 예상된다. 실험결과를 통해 DMFC에 적용가능성이 있는 막은 $25^{\circ}C,\; 50^{\circ}C$에서의 메탄을 투과도가 $6.49{\times}10^{-8}/cm^2/s,\; 2.85{\times}10^{-7}/cm^2/s$, $25^{\circ}C,\; 50^{\circ}C$에서의 이온전도도가 $2.66{\times}10^{-3}\;S/cm,\; 9.16{\times}10^{-3}\;S/cm,$ 이온교환용량이 1.32 meq/g membrane, 함수율이 0.25 g $H_2O$/g membrane, 고정이온농도가 5.25 meq/g $H_2O$인 PVA/PAA-$160^{\circ}C$ 15% 막으로 예측된다.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/sulfosuccinic acid $(SSA)-H^+$ 막은 1가 이온 $Li^+, Na^+,K^ + 2$가 이온 $Mg^{2+}, Ca^{2+},Ba^{2+}, 3$가 이온 $Al^{3+}$로 치환하였다. 또한 $Li^{+}$의 경우 치환도를 화하였다. 금속이온치환의 효과를 알아보기 위하여 Diffusion cell을 이용한 메탄올투과도를 측정하였다. 메탄올투과도를 1가 이온의 경우는 'Salting-out'효과뿐 아니라 electrostatic 가교와 금속 이온의 반응성에 의존한다고 사료되었다. 또한 $Li^+$이온이 경우 치환도에 비례하여 메탄올 투과도가 감소하였는데 이는 'Salting-out'효과에 기인한다고 사료되어진다.

The composite membrane for direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) was developed using $H_3O^+-{\beta}"-Al_2O_3$ powder and perfluorosulfonylfluroride copolymer (Nafion) resin. The perfluorosulfonylfluroride copolymer (Nafion) resin was mixed with $H_3O^+-{\beta}"-Al_2O_3$ powder and it was made to sheet form by hot pressing. The electrodes were prepared with 60 wt% PtRu/C and 60wt% Pt/C catalysts for anode and cathode, respectively. The morphology and the chemical composition of the composite membrane have been investigated by using SEM and EDXA, respectively. The composite membrane and $H_3O^+-{\beta}"-Al_2O_3$ were analyzed by using FT-IR and XRD. The methanol permeability of the composite membranes was also measured by gas chromatography (GC). The performance of the MEA containing the composite membrane (2wt% $H_3O^+-{\beta}"-Al_2O_3$) was higher than that of normal pure Nafion membrane at high operating temperature (e.g. $110^{\circ}C$), due to the homogenous distribution of $H_3O^+-{\beta}"-Al_2O_3$, which decreased the methanol permeability through the membrane and enhanced the water contents in the composite membrane.

Nafion/basic polymer composite membranes were prepared to reduce the methanol crossover for the application of direct methanol fuel cell. The thermal and mechanical properties increased with increasing basic polymer contents due to the formation of complex via acid/basic interaction. The water uptake, proton conductivity, methanol permeability decreased with increasing basic polymer concentration by reduction of acidity associated with the formation of acid/base complex. The molecular effect on those properties was not considerable.

Clerodendron trichotomum Thunberg Leaves (CTL) have been used for centuries in Chinese folk medicine for their anti-inflammatory properties. We have studied the anti-inflammatory effects of CTL extracts in rats, mice and in Raw 264.7 cells. 1 mg/kg solutions of the 30％ and 60％ methanol extracts of CTL were used and a 1 mg/kg of indomethacin was used as a positive anti-inflammatory standard; these were then administrated to rats. Carrageenan was injected subcutaneously to induce hind paw edema in rats. The result of carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema showed that a 1 mg/kg of the 30％, and 60％ methanol fraction of CTL and 1 mg/kg of indomethacin inhibited the hind paw edema by 19.5％, 23.0％, and 20.5％ respectively. The effect of CTL on inflammation in mice by a capillary permeability assay was examined by detecting Evans blue leakage from capillaries after the intraperitoneal injection of acetic acid, a potent inflammatory stimulus. The 60％ methanol fraction of CTL inhibited Evans blue dye leakage by 47.0％, which was 10％ higher than that of the inhibition of 1 mg/kg of indomethacin. Also, the 60％ methanol fraction of CTL suppressed the prostaglandin $E_2$ ($PGE_2$) generation in RAW 264.7 macrophage cells after treatment with lipopolysaccharide (LPS) by as much as the inhibition of 1 mg/kg of indomethacin and this led to the synthesis of $PGE_2$ by COX-2 induction. The inhibition of the carrageenan-induced rat paw oedema, vascular permeability and the $PGE_2$ generation demonstrates that the 60％ methanol fraction of CTL contains a potent anti-inflammatory activity.
