  • 광합성 세균의 수소생성 향상을 위한 노력의 일환으로 수소생성능이 좋은 Rhodopseudomonas E15-1 을 고정화하여 수소생성에 적당한 조건을 조사하였다. 담체로 4%의 alginate를 사용하였을 때 수소생성량이 많았으며 고정화함에 따라 산소. 질소에 대한 억제효과를 덜 받았다. Alginate 고정화 세포는 그 지름을 2mm 이하로 하는 것이 겔내로의 확산저항이 적으므로 적당했다. 여러가지 유기물을 활용하여 수소를 생성할 수 있었으며 특히 citrate, fumarate와 malate 같은 유기산의 경우 30mM의 농도가 수소생성에 있어서 적당하였다. 또한 고정화세포를 이용한 계속적인 수소생성에 있어서 20일부터 활성이 감소하기는 하나 겔의 구조적 안정성은 30일까지 유지되었다.

  • Mycobacterium gilvum PYR-GCK is a bacterial strain under study for its bioremediation use on heavy hydrocarbon pollutants in the environment. During the course of our study, mammalian cell entry (mce) genes, known to facilitate pathogenicity in M. tuberculosis, were highly expressed during a comparative and substrate-related cultural global transcriptomic study. RNA sequencing of the global transcriptome of the test strain in two different substrates, pyrene and glucose, showed high expression of the mce genes based on the differential results. After validating the expression of these genes with quantitative real-time PCR, we arrived at the conclusion that the genes were expressed based on the pyrene substrate (a phytosterol compound), and sterol metabolism is said to activate the expression of the mce genes in some actinomycetes bacteria, M. gilvum PYR-GCK in this case. This study is believed to be important based on the fact that some mycobacterial strains are undergoing a continuous research as a result of their use in practical bioremediation of anthropogenic exposure of toxic organic wastes in the environment.

  • Metabolite profiles of seven commercial vinegars and two traditional vinegars were performed by gas chromatography time-of-flight mass spectrometry with multivariate statistical analysis. During alcohol fermentation, yeast, nuruk, and koji were used as sugars for nutrients and as fermentation substrates. Commercial and traditional vinegars were significantly separated in the principal component analysis and orthogonal partial least square discriminant analysis. Six sugars and sugar alcohols, three organic acids, and two other components were selected as different metabolites. Target analysis by ultra-performance liquid chromatography quadruple-time-of-flight mass spectrometry and liquid chromatography-ion trap-mass spectrometry/mass spectrometry were used to detect several metabolites having antioxidant activity, such as cyanidin-3-xylosylrutinoside, cyanidin-3-rutinoside, and quercetin, which were mainly detected in Rural Korean Black raspberry vinegar (RKB). These metabolites contributed to the highest antioxidant activity measured in RKB among the nine vinegars. This study revealed that MS-based metabolite profiling was useful in helping to understand the metabolite differences between commercial and traditional vinegars and to evaluate the association between active compounds of vinegar and antioxidant activity.

  • The purpose of this study is to get optimum operating factors of Upflow Anaerobic Sludge Blanket (UASB) reactor by introducing methods that make it to reduce inhibition possible in each process wastewater treatment. The used substrates, concentrated corn starch liquid (CSL) wastewater, modified starch, filtering and decoloring wastewater, ion refining wastewater, and mixed wastewater including modified starch and not including modified starch, are generated from molasses process. The seeding sludge is the digested sludge that had been applied to molasses wastewater. Batch test to reduce the inhibition factors that might be existed in each wastewater was examined. Based on the this test, the optimum operating factors according to alkalinity and pH variation was studied through the continuous test using three 5.5 L UASB reactor. The first reactor added $NaHCO_3$ to control alkalinity. The hydraulic retention time (HRT) reduced to 8 hours and the organic loading rate increased gradually. The second reactor changed the pH of influent from 7.0 to 6.0 using NaOH. The third reactor was operated without changes to compare the above two reactors. As the result, the inhibition in concentrated CSL wastewater was removed by adding iron (II). When trace metals were added to mixed wastewater not including modified starch, the digestability by gas production rate increased to more fifty percentage than mixed wastewater that was not adding the trace metals. The reason that the inhibition did not decreased in spite of adding trace metals and nutrients was influenced by high concentration generated during the acid fermentation. The UASB reactors using the mixed wastewater with the most effective performance were operated as 500 mg/L as $CaCO_3$ alkalinity and 6.0 pH at steady state, and at this time, the gas production rates were 283 and 311mL gas/g $COD_{added}$. The COD removal rates were 84.7 and 86.3%, respectively.

  • 초음파 분무에 의한 유기금속 화학증착법 (MOCVD)법으로 $Bi_4Ti_3O_{12}$(BIT)와 Bi와 Ti 대신에 La과 V을 동시에 치환시킨 ($Bi_{3.75}La_{0.75})(Ti_{2.97}V_{0.03})O_{12}$ (BLTV)박막을 ITO/glass 기판 위에 증착하였다. 산소 분위기에서 30분 동안 증착한 후, RTA 방식의 직접삽입법으로 열처리를 하였다. 박막은 페로브스카이트상 생성 온도, 미세구조, 전기적 성질에 관해서 조사하였다. XRD(X-Ray diffraction) 측정결과 BLTV 박막의 페로브스카이트상 생성 온도는 약 $600^{\circ}C$로써 BIT의 $650^{\circ}C$보다 더 낮았다. BLTV 박막의 누설전류는 인가전압 1 V에서 $1.52\times10^{-19}$ A/cm^2$로 측정되었다 또한, $650^{\circ}C$에서 증착했을 경우 잔류 분극값이 $5.6\mu$C/$cm^2$, 항전계값 96.5 kV/cm으로 명확한 강유전성을 보이고 있다.

  • Piezoelectric powder with the composition of PbTiO$_3$-PbZrO$_3$-Pb(Mn$\_$1/3/Nb$\_$2/3/)O$_3$ and small particle size of 0.3 $\mu\textrm{m}$ was investigated for low-temperature firing of PZT thick films. PbTiO$_3$-PbZrO$_3$-Pb(Mn$\_$1/3/Nb$\_$2/3)O$_3$ ceramics showed dense microstructure and superior piezoelectric properties, electromechanical coupling factor (k$\_$p/) of 0.501 and piezoelectric constant (d$\_$33/) of 224. The PZT paste was made of the powder and organic vehicles, and screen-printed on Pt(450nm)/YSZ(110nm)/SiO$_2$(300nm)/Si substrates and fired at 800∼900$^{\circ}C$. Any interface reaction between the PZT thick film and the bottom electrode was not observed in the PZT thick films. The PZT thick film fired at 800$^{\circ}C$ showed moderate electrical properties, the remanent polarization(p$\_$r/) of 16.0 ${\mu}$C/$\textrm{cm}^2$, the coercive field(E$\_$c/) of 36.7 ㎸/cm, and dielectric constant ($\varepsilon$$\_$r/) of 531. Low-temperature sinterable piezoelectric composition and high activity of fine particles reduced the sintering temperature of the thick film. This PZT thick film could be utilized for piezoelectric microactuators or microsensors that require Si micromachining technology.

  • 폴리머/세라믹 복합체는 유기기판용 내장형 커패시터의 가장 유망한 재료다. 폴리머/세라믹 복합체의 유효유전상수를 예측하는 것은 복합재료의 설계에 있어 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 크기가 다른 5가지 $BaTiO_3$ 분말을 이용하여 분말함량에 따른 에폭시/$BaTiO_3$ 복합 내장형 커패시터 필름의 유전상수를 측정하였다. 그 측정 결과를 여러 가지 이론식들에 최소 자승법을 이용해 fitting하여 폴리머/세라믹 복합체의 유효유전상수를 예측하는데 가장 유용한 식을 찾고 BaTiO$_3$ 분말의 유전상수를 추정하고자 하였다. Lichtenecker식과 Jayasundere-Smith식이 에폭시/$BaTiO_3$ 복합 내장형 커패시터 필름의 유전상수 예측에 유용한 것으로 나타났다. 피팅을 통해 계산된 $BaTiO_3$ 분말의 유전상수는 분말의 크기에 따라 100 에서 600 사이였는데 이는 다결정 세라믹 $BaTiO_3$의 유전상수보다 작은 값이다.

  • In the aqueous solutions the dephosphorylations of isopropyl phenyl-4-nitrophenyl phosphinate(IPNPIN) mediated by hydroxide$(OH^{\theta})$ and o-iodosobenzoate$(IB^{\theta})$ ions ate relatively slow, because of hydrophobicity of the substrate, and however it appears that $OH^{\theta}$ is inherently better nucleophile than $IB^{\theta}$, which is more soft ion. On the other hand, in cetyltrimetyiammonium bromide(CTABr) solutions which contain cationic micelles, the dephosphorylations of IPNPIN mediated by $OH^{\theta}$ or $IB^{\theta}$ ate very accelerated to 120 or 100,000 times as compared with those in the aqueous solutions. The values of pseudo first order rate constants reach a maximum with increasing. Such rate maxima are typical of micellar catalysed bimolecular reactions and the rise in rate constant followed by a gradual decrese is characteristic of reactions of hydrophobic substrates. In the cationic micellar solutions of CTABr, $IB^{\theta}$ accelerates the reactions much more than that $OH^{\theta}$ does. The reason seems that $IB^{\theta}$ which is more hydrophobic and soft ion than $OH^{\theta}$ is more easily moved into the Stern layer of the CTABr micelles than $OH^{\theta}$. In the anionic micellar solutions of sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS), the dephosrhorylations of IPNPIN ate slower than those in aqeous solutions. It means that $OH^{\theta}$ or $IB^{\theta}$ cannot easily move and approach to the Stern layer of the micelle in which almost all the hydrophobic substrate are located and which has a negative circumstance.

  • The following noble series of statistical copolymers, poly[(2-(3-thienyl)ethanol n-butoxycarbonylmethylurethane)-co-3-hexylthiophene] (PURET-co-P3HT), were synthesized by the chemical dehydrogenation method using anhydrous $FeCl_3$. The structure and electro-optical properties of these copolymers were characterized using $^1H$-NMR, UV-visible spectroscopy, elemental analysis, GPC, DSC, TGA, photoluminescence (PL), and cyclic voltammetry (CV). The statistical copolymers, PURET-co-P3HT (1:0, 2:1, 1:1, 1:2, 1:3), were soluble in common organic solvents and easily spin coated onto indium-tin oxide (ITO) coated glass substrates. Hybrid bulk heterojunction photovoltaic cells with an ITO/G-PEDOT/PURET-co-P3HT:PCBM:Ag nanowires/$TiO_x$/Al configuration were fabricated, and the photovoltaic cells using PURET-co-P3HT (1:2) showed the best photovoltaic performance compared with those using PURET-co-P3HT (1:0, 2:1, 1:1, 1:3). The optimal hybrid bulk heterojunction photovoltaic cell exhibits a power conversion efficiency (PCE) of 1.58% ($V_{oc}$ = 0.82 V, $J_{sc}$ = 5.58, FF = 0.35) with PURET-co-P3HT (1:2) measured by using an AM 1.5 G irradiation (100 mW/$cm^2$) on an Oriel Xenon solar simulator (Oriel 300 W).

  • MBE 방법으로 Si 기판위에 성장된 CdTe(211) 박막위에 MOVPE 법으로 HgCdTe 박막을 성장하였다. 성장된 박막의 표면은 hillock 등의 결함이 없는 매우 균일한 형상을 보였다. HgCdTe 박막표면의 EPD(etch pit density) 및 (422) 결정면의 이중 결정 x-선 회절 피크의 반치폭으로 본 결정성은 GaAs 기판위에 성장된 HgCdTe 박막에 비하여 우수하였다. GaAs 기판 위에 MOVPE 법으로 성장된 HgCdTe는 기판처리 과정에서 유입된 p-형 불순물로 인해 p-형 전도성을 나타내었으나 (211)CdTe 기판 위에 성장된 박막은 77K에서 $8{\times}10^{14}/cm^3$의 운반자 농도를 갖는 n-형 전도성을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과는 최근 요구되고 있는 $1024{\times}1024$급 이상의 화소를 갖는 대면적 HgCdTe 적외선 소자 제작에 널리 적용될 것으로 판단된다.
