The availability of advanced nanotechnological methodologies (experimental and theoretical) has widened the investigation of biological/organic matter in interaction with substrates. Minerals are good candidates as substrates because they may present a wide variety of physico-chemical properties and surface nanostructures that can be used to actively condense and manipulate the biomolecules. Scanning Probe Microscopy (SPM) is one of the best suited techniques used to investigate at a single molecule level the surface interactions. In addition, the recent availability of high performance computing has increased the possibility to study quantum mechanically the interaction phenomena extending the number of atoms involved in the simulation. In the present paper, firstly we will briefly introduce new SPM technological developments and applications to investigate mineral surfaces and mineral-biomolecule interaction, then we will present results on the specific RNA-mineral interaction and recent basics and applicative achievements in the field of the interactions between other fundamental biological molecules and mineral surfaces from both an experimental and theoretical point of view.

In this study, multilayered graphene was easily transferred to the target substrate in one step using thermal release tape. The transmittance of the transferred graphene according to the number of layers was measured using a spectrophotometer. The sheet resistance was measured using a four-point probe system. Graphene formed using this transfer method showed almost the same electrical and optical properties as that formed using the conventional poly (methyl methacrylate) transfer method. This method is suitable for the mass production of graphene because of the short process time and easy large-area transfer. In addition, multilayered graphene can be transferred on various substrates without wetting problem using the one-step dry transfer method. In this work, this easy transfer method was used for dielectric substrates such as glass, paper and polyethylene terephthalate, and a sheet resistance of ~240 ohm/sq was obtained with three-layer graphene. By fabricating organic solar cells, we verified the feasibility of using this method for optoelectronic devices.

본 논문은 플렉시블 디스플레이용 stainless steel(SS) 기판의 평탄막 재료로서 유기 및 유기/무기 하이브리드 에폭시 레진을 연구한 첫 결과를 보고한다. 유기 에폭시로는 diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)를, 하이브리드 에폭시는 실세스퀴옥산이 포함된 octa(dimethylsiloxypropylglycidylether) silsesquioxane(OG)를 선택하였다. 경화제로는 diaminodiphenylmethane(DDM)을 에폭시와 1 : 2 당량비로 사용하였으며 두 물질 모두 SS 기판위에 어려움 없이 코팅이 되었다. TGA로 살펴본 열 안정성 분석은 순수한 물질이나 경화된 필름이나 모두 OG가 DGEBA 보다 안정하며 AFM에 의한 필름 표면의 관찰은 필름이 충분히 두꺼운 경우$(>\;1\;{\mu})\;1{\sim}2\;nm$ 정도의 표면 거칠기 값을 갖는 평탄한 면이 얻어진다는 것을 보여주었다. 또 이 필름들은 $0{\sim}10000$ 초에 걸치는 시간 동안 100 V와 $100^{\circ}C$의 외부 스트레스를 받은 후에도 일정한 유전 상수(${\sim}3.5$), 정전 용량 및 전류의 흐름을 나타내 절연 특성이 안정되어 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Advanced mobile communication devices require a bright, high information content display in a small, light-weight, low power consumption package. For portable applications flexible (or conformable) and rugged displays will be the future. In this paper we outline our progress towards developing such a low power consumption active-matrix flexible OLED $(FOLED^{TM})$ display. We demonstrate full color 100 ppi QVGA active matrix OLED displays on flexible stainless steel substrates. Our work in this area is focused on integrating three critical enabling technologies. The first technology component is based on UDC's high efficiency long-lived phosphorescent OLED $(PHOLED^{TM})$ device technology, which has now been commercially demonstrated as meeting the low power consumption performance requirements for mobile display applications. Secondly, is the development of flexible active-matrix backplanes, and for this our team are employing PARC's Excimer Laser Annealed (ELA) poly-Si TFTs formed on metal foil substrates as this approach represents an attractive alternative to fabricating poly-Si TFTs on plastic for the realization of first generation flexible active matrix OLED displays. Unlike most plastics, metal foil substrates can withstand a large thermal load and do not require a moisture and oxygen permeation barrier. Thirdly, the key to reliable operation is to ensure that the organic materials are fully encapsulated in a package designed for repetitive flexing, and in this device we employ a multilayer thin film Barix encapsulation technology in collaboration with Vitex systems. Drive electronics and mechanical packaging are provided by L3 Displays.

YBCO thin films on metal substrates were prepared by the metal-organic deposition using trifluoroacetates (TFA-MOD). To compensate the loss of Ba element from the precursor films due to the reaction with $CeO_2$ cap layer, we have employed Ba-excessive precursor solutions of $YBa_{2+x}Cu_{3}O_{7-{\delta}}$ ($0{\le}x{\le}0.1$). The precursor solutions were dip-coated on the metal substrates with $CeO_2$ cap layer, initially heated up to $400^{\circ}C$, and finally fired at the various high temperatures for 2 h in a reduced oxygen atmosphere. With this approach, YBCO films possessing critical temperature over 85 K could be successfully prepared on the metal substrates. The highest $T_{c,zero}$ value of 86 K was obtained from the Ba-excessive YBCO film of x=0.005 in $YBa_{2+x}Cu_{3}O_{7-{\delta}}$ fired at $750^{\circ}C$ for 2 h. However, unexpected $T_c$ suppression even in Ba-excessive YBCO samples requires further identification.

Buffer layers such as $CeO_2\;and\;Yb_2O_3$ films for YBCO coated conductors were deposited on (100) $SrTiO_3$ single crystals and (100) textured Ni substrates by a metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD) system of the hot-wall type. The substrates were moved with the velocity of 40 cm/hr. Source flow rate, $Ar/O_2$ flow rate and deposition temperature were main processing variables. The degree of film epitaxy and surface morphology were investigated using XRD and SEM, respectively. On a STO substrate, the $CeO_2$ film was well grown epitaxially above the deposition temperature of $450^{\circ}C$. However, on a Ni substrate, the XRD showed NiO (111) and (200) peaks due to Ni oxidation as well as (111) and (200) film growth. For the films deposited with $O_2$ gas as oxygen source, it was found that the NiO film was formed at the interface between the buffer layer and the Ni substrate. The NiO layer interrupts the epitaxial growth of the buffer layer. It seems that the epitaxial growth of the buffer layer on Ni metal substrates using $O_2$ gas is difficult. We are considering a new method avoiding Ni oxidation with $H_2O$ vapor instead of $O_2$ gas.

A galactose fermentation bacterium producing lactose from red seaweed, which was known well to compromise the galactose as main reducing sugar, was isolated from button mushroom bed in Buyeo-Gun, Chungchugnamdo province. The lactic acid bacteria MONGB-2 was identified as Lactobacillus paracasei subsp. tolerans by analysis of 16S rRNA gene sequence. When the production of lactic acid and acetic acid by L. paracasei MONGB-2 was investigated by HPLC analysis with various carbohydrates, the strain MONGB-2 efficiently convert the glucose and galactose to lactic acid with the yield of 18.86 g/L and 18.23 g/L, respectively and the ratio of lactic acid to total organic acids was 1.0 and 0.91 g/g for both substrates. However, in the case of acetic acid fermentation, other carbohydrates besides galactose and red seaweed hydrolysate could not be totally utilized as carbon sources for acetic acid production by the strain. The lactic acid production from glucose and galactose in the fermentation time courses was gradually enhanced upto 60 h fermentation and the maximal concentration reached to be 16-18 g/L from both substrates after 48 h of fermentation. The initial concentration of glucose and galactose were completely consumed within 36 h of fermentation, of which the growth of cell also was maximum level. In addition, the bioconversion of lactic acid from the red seaweed hydrolysate by L. paracasei MONGB-2 appeared to be about 20% levels of the initial substrates concentration and this results were entirely lower than those of galactose and glucose showed about 60% of conversion. The apparent results showed that L. paracasei MONGB-2 could produce the lactic acid with glucose as well as galactose by the homofermentation through EMP pathway.

갯벌이나 연안습지의 생태구조 및 생지화학적 물질 순환을 이해하기 위해서는 유기물 분해기능 평가 및 분해경로에 대한 연구가 필수적으로 진행되어야 함에도 불구하고 국내에는 이에 대한 연구가 거의 없다. 본 논문에서는 하계 강화도 남단의 갯벌에서 미생물에 의한 혐기성 유기물 분해정도를 파악하고, 황산염 환원을 통한 유기물 분해경로의 정량적 중요성을 평가하고자 하였다. 유기물 분해율은 깊이 6 cm 이내에서 $41.9{\sim}89.4mmol\;m^{-2}d^{-1}$의 범위로 나타났으며, 이를 강화도 갯벌의 전체 면적(약 $300km^2$)으로 환산할 경우, 하루에 216 ton의 유기물이 혐기적 과정을 통해 분해되는 것으로 계산되었다. 이러한 결과는 하구갯벌인 강화도 갯벌의 유기물 분해능이 생산력이 높은 염습지의 유기물 분해능에 비해 결코 뒤지지 않음을 보여주는 결과이다. 한편, 인위적으로 유기물(acetate)을 공급하였을 경우 유기물 분해율이 약 2배~5배의 증가율을 나타냈다. 이러한 결과는 미생물의 유기물 분해가 이용 가능한 유기물의 공급 부족에 의해 제한되고 있음을 의미한다. 한편 깊이 6 cm 이내에서 적분한 황산염 환원율은 $20.7{\sim}45.1mmol\;SO{_4}^{2-}m^{-2}d^{-1}$의 범위로 나타났으며, 전체 혐기성 유기물 분해의 대부분을 차지하였다. 이러한 연구결과는 황산염 환원력의 과도한 증대가 향후 갯벌 주변 생태계의 생물 다양성 감소로 이어질 수 있음을 시사하는 것이다.

본 총론에서는 원자층 증착을 이용한 친환경 소재의 개발에 대한 최근 연구 결과들을 간단하게 소개하려 한다. 원자층 증착의 장점은 박막의 두께를 미세하게 조절할 수 있다는 것과, 3차원적으로 복잡한 구조를 가지는 담체의 형상을 유지하면서 균일한 박막을 제조할 수 있다는 것이다. 이러한 원자층 증착의 장점은 친환경소재를 제조하는 데 중요한 역할을 할 수 있다. Anodic aluminum oxide (AAO)와 같은 다공성 membrane을 담체로 이용하여, 다공성 구조는 그대로 유지하면서 10나노미터 정도의 $TiO_2$박막을 균일하게 증착할 경우 톨루엔 등의 휘발성 유기물 필터로 사용할 수 있는데, 이는 AAO의 특이한 기하학적 구조와 비정질 $TiO_2$의 강한 휘발성 유기물 흡착력의 조합에 의한 결과이다. 톨루엔 분해용 광촉매 및 이산화탄소 개질 반응에 의한 수소 생산 촉매 반응에 있어서도 나노다이아몬드나 니켈 담체 위에 $TiO_2$의 증착량을 미세하게 조절하여 $TiO_2$가 표면을 완전히 덮지 않고 부분적으로만 덮고 있는 구조를 만들 경우 촉매의 효율 및 수명을 극대화할 수 있게 된다. 이러한 예들은 원자층 증착이 기존의 반도체산업뿐만 아니라 환경소재의 개발에도 중요한 도구가 될 수 있음을 의미한다.
