Carbon nanotubes (CNT) were used as a catalyst support where catalytically active Pd and Pt metal particles decorated the outside of the external CNT walls. In this study, Pd and Pt nanoparticles supported on $HNO_3$-treated CNT were prepared by microwave-assisted heating of the polyol process using $PdCl_2$ and $H_2PtCl_6{\codt}6H_2O$ precursors, respectively, and were then characterized by SEM, TEM, and Raman. Raman spectroscopy showed that the acid treated CNT had a higher intensity ratio of $I_D/I_G$ compared to that of non-treated CNT, indicating the formation of defects or functional groups on CNT after chemical oxidation. Microwave irradiation for total two minutes resulted in the formation of Pd and Pt nanoparticles on the acid treated CNT. The sizes of Pd and Pt nanoparticles were found to be less than 10 nm and 3 nm, respectively. Furthermore, the $SnO_2$ films doped with CNT decorated by Pd and Pt nanoparticles were prepared, and then the $NO_2$ gas response of these sensor films was evaluated under $1{\sim}5\;ppm$ $NO_2$ concentration at $200^{\circ}C$. It was found that the sensing property of the $SnO_2$ film sensor on $NO_2$ gas was greatly improved by the addition of CNT-supported Pd and Pt nanoparticles.

We investigated the effects of Pd impurities on cube-textures in cold rolled and recrystallized PtPd tapes The sample were made from Pt$_{1-x}Pd_x$ alloys (x from 0 to0.34) by rolling at low temperature. The thickness of the tapes were about 100 ${\mu}$m. The PtPd[111] pole figures of X-ray Diffraction for all the samples indicated similar deformed textures. But the recrystallized textures after annealing showed that a better cube texture was formed in the sample of larger x. The final textures were sensitive to annealing time and temperature when x was increased.

Electrical characteristics of Pt/Ti/Pt/Au and Pd/Zn/Pd/Au contacts to p-type InGaAs grown on an InP substrate have been characterized as a function of the doping concentration and the annealing temperature. The Pt/Ti/Pt/Au contacts produced the specific contact resistance as low as $2.3{\times}10^{-6}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$, when heat-treated at an annealing temperature of $400^{\circ}C$. Comparison of the Pt/Ti/Pt/Au and Ti/Pt/Au contacts showed that the first Pt layer plays an important role in reducing the contact resistivity probably by lowering energy barrier at the metal-semiconductor interface. For the Pd/Zn/Pd/Au contacts, the contact resistivity remained virtually unchanged with increasing annealing temperature. The specific contact resistivity as low as $4.7{\times}10^{-6}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm^2$ was obtained. The results indicate that the Pt/Ti/Pt/Au and Pd/Zn/Pd/Au schemes could be potentially important for the fabrication of InP-based optoelectronic devices, such as photodetector and optical modulator.

귀금속촉매 존재하에서 암모니아 전환반응은 배가스내의 암모니아를 처리하는데 중요한 기술이다. 과잉용액 함침법을 이용하여 $Pt-Rh/Al_2O_3$, $Pt-Rh/TiO_2$, $Pt-Rh/ZrO_2$, $Pt-Pd/Al_2O_3$, $Pd-Rh/Al_2O_3$, $Pd-Rh/TiO_2$, $Pd-Rh/ZrO_2$, $Pt-Pd-Rh/Al_2O_3$, $Pd/Ga-Al_2O_3$, $Rh/Ga-Al_2O_3$, 그리고 $Ru/Ga-Al_2O_3$의 촉매를 제조하였다. 제조된 촉매는 1/4"의 반응기에 $10,000{\sim}50,000hr^{-1}$의 공간속도 조건하에서 촉매활성능 실험을 수행하였다. 암모니아의 초기농도는 2,000 ppm (나머지는 공기)으로 유지하였다. $T_{50}$는 암모니아 전환율이 50%일 때를 나타내는 온도를, $T_{90}$은 90%의 전환율일 때의 온도를 나타낸다. 알루미나를 담지체로 사용했을때의 $T_{50}$와 $T_{90}$은 다른 담체를 사용했을때의 $T_{50}$와 $T_{90}$보다 훨씬 낮았다. Pd-Rh촉매의 경우 $Al_2O_3$를 담체로 사용하였을 때 $ZrO_2$나 $TiO_2$보다 저온 활성이 우수하게 나타났다. 황산화물의 피독실험 결과 본 연구에서는 최종적으로 $Pt-Rh/Al_2O_3$ 촉매가 다른 촉매에 비하여 우수함을 보였다. 실험결과 Pt-Rh가 암모니아 전환공정에서 유용한 촉매라는 사실을 알 수 있다.

Solvent extraction experiments of Pt(IV), Pd(II) and Rh(III) by Alamine336 were performed from the mixed chloride solutions. In the HCl concentration range from 1 to 5 M, most of Pt and Pd were extracted from the mixed solutions. However, the extraction percentage of Rh was much smaller than that of Pt and Pd. Lower concentration of Alamine336 in strong HCl solution led to higher separation factor of Rh from Pt and Pd. Adding $SnCl_2$ to the mixed solutions increased the extraction percentage of Rh, while the extraction percentage of Pt and Pd was little affected. Our results showed that selective separation of Rh or coextraction of the three platinum group metals from the mixed solution would be possible by adjusting the extraction conditions.

In the recent years, UHF PD measuring technique for detecting partial discharges was proved the effective method for Gas Insulated Switchgear (GIS). However, in case of GIS with a metal flange around insulating spacer, UHF PD measurement using typical external UHF PD sensor is difficult. In this paper, a novel hole-type UHF PD sensor based on Archimedean spiral antenna theory has been proposed and realized. All spacers with metal flange have small hole in order to inject epoxy. Using the novel hole-type UHF PD sensor, it makes detection possible to PD signal that are emitted through the epoxy injection hole. Additionally, the measuring characteristic of UHF PD signals from several artificial defects in GIS and the novel ${\Phi}$-f-q pattern analysis technology are discussed.

A simple dry chemical approach was developed in order to load palladium (Pd) as a promoter on Pt/gas diffusion electrode (GDE) for polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). Palladium(II) bis (acetylacetonate), $Pd(acac)_2$ was sublimed, penetrated into Pt/GDE and then reduced to Pd nanoparticles simultaneously without any reducing agent and any solvent in a glass reactor of $N_2$ atmosphere at $180^{\circ}C$ for 3, 5 and 15 min. Pd distribution was analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and I-V curve was estimated by using a unit cell with $5{\times}5cm^2$ active area.

Saponin of Panax ginseng (C.A. Meyer) is composed of Protopanaxatriol (PT) and Protopanaxa- diol (PD). We investigated the effects of PT and PD on the contractility and $^{45}Ca$ uptake in the pig coronary artery. Isometric tension in the helical strips and $^{45}Ca$ uptake in the ring strips were measured in the presence or absence of PT and PD. PT and PD did not affect the high K+ (40 mM)-induced contraction but relaxed the ACh-induced contraction in a dose4ependent manner (1~10 mg/dl). The vasorelaxing effect of PT on the ACh-induced contraction was more potent than that of PD. Those relaxations were partially suppressed by the rubbing of endothelium removal. ACh-induced contraction in the $Ca^{2+}$-free Tyrode's solution was suppressed by the pretreatment of PT or PD. Following the depletion of ACh-sensitive intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ pool, ACh-induced contraction was suppressed by the pratreatment of PT or PD. With the pretreatment of PT or PD, $^{45}Ca$ uptake by high K+ (43 mM) was not changed but that by ACh was suppressed in the pig coronary artery. From the above results, we suggested that the vasorelaxing effect of PT and PD of Panax ginseng was due to inhibition of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ release, inhibition of $Ca^{2+}$ uptake via receptor-operated $Ca^{2+}$ channels and in part a release of vasorelaxing factor from endothelium in pig coronary artery.

수직자기 기록매체를 위해 스퍼터링법으로 Co/Pd 및 Co/Pt 다층막을 형성하였으며 Pd 및 Pt 바닥층의 증착 압력이 다층막의 자화거동 및 보자력에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. Co/Pd 다층막의 경우 보자력이 바닥층의 증착 압력에 매우 민감하여 바닥층 증착압력만을 조절함으로써 보자력을 크게 증가시킬 수 있었으나 Co/Pt 경우 바닥층의 증착압력 조절에 의한 보자력 증대효과는 미미하였다. 바닥층의 종류 및 증착압력에 따른 다층막의 보자력 변화를 바닥층의 표면 거칠기 및 다층막 증착착시의 계면상태 변화의 측면에서 설명할 수 있었으며 이는 바닥층의 증착압력의 증가에 따른 다층막의 수직이방성 에너지 감소 및 자화반전 기구의 변화와도 연관시킬 수 있었다. 다층막의 Kerr 회전각은 바닥층의 종류 및 증착압력에는 거의 의존하지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

This study showed the anti-invasive activity of ginseng components, panaxadiol (PD) and panamatrlol (PT) on the highly metastatic HT1080 human flbrosarcoma cell line. PD and PT reduced tumor cell invasion through a reconstitute basement membrane in the transwell chamber. A significant down regulation of MMP-9 by PD and PT was detected by northern blot analysis. However, MMP-2 was constantly expressed. Quantitative gelatin based zymography confirmed a marked reduced expression of MMP-9 but not MMP-2 in the treatment of PD and PT. Since the chemical structures of PD and PT are very similar to that of dexamethasone, a synthetic glucocorticoid, it was investigated whether PD and PT act through GR. Western blot analysis and immunocytochemistry showed that PD and PT increased the GR fraction in the nucleus. These results suggest that ursolic acid may induce repression of MMP-9 by stimulating the nuclear translocation of GR and hence inhibiting the activity of AP-1 to TPA-responsible element of MMP-9 promoter region. In conclusion, we suggest that CR-induced down-regulation of MMP-9 by PD and PT contributes to reduce the invasive capacity of HT 1080 cells.
