The generation of high purity hydrogen from reformed hydrocarbon fuels, or syngas, is essential for efficient operation of the fuel cell (PEMFC, Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell). Usually, major components of reformed gas are $H_2$, CO, $CO_2$ and $H_2O$. Especially a major component, CO poisons the electrode of fuel cells. The water gas shifter (WGS) that shifts CO to $CO_2$ and simultaneously produces $H_2$, was developed to a two stage catalytic conversion process involving a high temperature shifter (HTS) and a low temperature shifter (LTS). Also, experiments were carried out to reduce the carbon monoxide up to $3{\sim}4%$ in the HTS and lower than 5,000 ppm via the LTS.

The main purpose of this paper is to study on the effect of contact state between metal-polymer interface in electrical conduction of polymeric materials under low field region. The electric conduction of polythylene (PE) sandwitched in between two gold (Au) electrodes was lower than that of PE Sandwitched in between two Aluminium (Al) electrodes under low external field. The discharge current of PE which have been treated by the high field application is also obtained some results under no external field. The obtained results can suggest that the material of electrode come to influence on the electrical conduction of polymeric materials and are important as a basis for analysing the data on TSC. It is also suggestive that results of observation must be considered in cases of insulation design of electrical machinery.

The magnetron reactive ion etching (RIE) characteristics of polycrystalline (poly) 3C-SiC grown on $SiO_2$/Si substrate by APCVD were investigated. Poly 3C-SiC was etched by $CHF_3$ gas, which can form a polymer as a function of side wall protective layers, with additive $O_2$ and Ar gases. Especially, it was performed in magnetron RIE, which can etch SiC at lower ion energy than a commercial RIE system. Stable etching was achieved at 70 W and the poly 3C-SiC was undamaged. The etch rate could be controlled from $20\;{\AA}/min$ to $400\;{\AA}/min$ by the manipulation of gas flow rates, chamber pressure, RF power, and electrode gap. The best vertical structure was improved by the addition of 40 % $O_2$ and 16 % Ar with the $CHF_3$ reactive gas. Therefore, poly 3C-SiC etched by magnetron RIE can expect to be applied to M/NEMS applications.

Sulfonation of polyetheretherketones (PEEK) was carried out in order to fabricate commercial perfluorosulfonic acid membrane alternatives, which were characterized in terms of their ion exchange capacity, ionic conductivity, water swelling, methanol crossover and electrochemical performance in their direct application as a methanol fuel cell. A high ion exchange capacity, 1.88, was achieved with a sulfonation reaction time of 8 h, with a significantly low methanol crossover low compared to that of Nafion. However, the morphological stability was found to deteriorate for membranes with sulfonation reaction times exceeding 8 h. Electrochemical cell tests suggested that the fabrication parameters of the membrane electrode assembly based on the sulfonated PEEK membranes should be optimized with respect to the physicochemical properties of the newly prepared membranes.

This paper reports the fabrication of a lenticular liquid crystal (LC) lens array with thermally tunable focus and with the function of a convertible lens type, using the surface structure of a UV-curable polymer and a twisted-nematic (TN) LC cell. The TN LC cell makes the LC lenticular lens function as a converging or diverging lens by controlling electrically the polarization of input light. Therefore, the focal lengths for both the converging and diverging lenses, which can be switched from the TN cell, can be tuned by changing the effective refractive index of the LC by Joule heating of the transparent electrode. As a result, the focal length of the lens with the E7 LC was changed continuously from 8.7 to 31.2 mm for the converging lens type and from -9.8 to -14.2 mm for the diverging lens when the temperature was increased from 25 to $56^{\circ}C$.

Variable optical attenuators (VOA) made of low-loss fluorinated polymers are demonstrated which shows a low operating power less than 30 mW due to the superior thermo-optic effect of polymer material and a low insertion loss less than 1.0 dB by incorporating highly fluorinated polymers to reduce the absorption loss at 1550 nm. An attenuator-integrated low-crosstalk polymeric digital optical switch (DOS) is also demonstrated. The switch and attenuator shares a single connected electrode which is controlled by a single current source. Due to the simple structure of the integrated attenuator, the device length is reduced to 1 cm so as to provide low insertion loss of 0.8 and 1.1 dB for 1300 and 1550 nm, respectively. The attenuator radiates remained optical signal on the switch-off branch in order to decrease the switching crosstalk to be less than -70 dB with an applied electrical power of 200 mW.

신장병 진단에 중요한 요소의 농도를 측정하기 위한 요소 센서를 반도체 위에 개발이 연구의 목적이다. 센서의 감도 측정은 선형 전위 주사법(Linear sweep voltammtry)을 이용하였다. 선형 전위 주사법은 가역적이든 비가역적이든 관계없이 cottrell 식에 의한 전류와 농도의 직선관계로부터 감도를 측정할 수 있는 장점이 있고 또한 저 농도에서 민감하게 반응한다. 따라서 기존 전위차 측정형 바이오 센서(Potentiometric biosensor)에서 규명할 수 없는 감도 문제를 선형 전위 주사법으로 규명하고자 하였다. 센서전극은 p-type 실리콘 웨이퍼 위에 전극을 제작했다. 그 위에 cyclic voltammetry 법을 사용하여 전도성 고분자를 전기 중합 하였고, 그위에 다시 chronoamperometry법을 사용하여 우레아제를 고정화 하여 작업전극으로 제작하였다. 센서의 감도는 phosphate buffer 용액(pH7.4)속에서 온도 35$^{\circ}C$를 유지하며 측정하였다.

Electro-optic characteristics of liquid crystal display using fringe field switching(FFS) device depend on many parameters such as cell retardation, electrode structure, rubbing angle, cell gap and dielectric anisotropy. In this paper, the light efficiency of FFS mode will be analyzed to confirm the electro-optic characteristics according to positive dielectric anisotropy such as transmittance, operating voltage and response time.

In this Study, We fabricated a plasma discharge cluster with external electrodes which can be applied to flexible backlight in a polymer substrate and investigated the discharge characteristics. The Sealing process was progressed in vacuum chamber, which enable to fabricate plasma discharge cluster. The results of discharge characteristics show that the static memory margin of plasma discharge cluster was increased, as Ne/Xe(5%) gas pressure was increased. also, When gas pressure was 100torr at 600um of electrode gap, we have obtained high luminance of a plasma discharge cluster.
