A loud speaker-driven zero-c.o.p. thermoacoustic refrigerator where an automotive catalytic converter is utilized as a stack has been fabricated and investigated experimentally. Without any heat exchangers at both ends of stack(and thus with zero c. o. p.), temperatures on the stack are measured and various heat transfer rates are calculated from the measured temperatures. Temperatures on the stack have been also calculated numerically using a finite difference method. The measured temperatures are in fair agreement with the calculated temperatures for lower frequency than 300Hz, however, the former deviates from the latter considerably for higher frequency. Two types of c. o. p. have been defined as appropriate to the experiment. While the nominal c. o. p. is zero(the condition in which the pumped heat flow rate in the pore exactly cancels the axial heat conduction down the stack), the true c. o. p. is found to be about 0.14 for 300Hz from the experiments.

The effect of compositional and processing variables on a nitriding reaction of silicon powder compact and subsequent post sintering of RBSN (Reaction-Bonded Silicon Nitride) was investigated. The addition of a nitriding agent enhanced nitridation rate substantially at low temperatures, while the formation of a liquid phase between the nitriding agent and the sintering additives at a high temperature caused a negative catalyst effect resulting in a decreased nitridation rate. A liquid phase formed by solely an additive, however, was found to have no effect on nitridation for the additive amount used in this research. The original site of a decomposing pore former was loosely filled by a reaction product ($Si_3N_4$), which provided a specimen with nitriding gas passage. For SRBSN (Sintered RBSN) specimens of high porosity, only a marginal dimensional change was measured after post sintering. Its engineering implication for near-net shaping ability is discussed.

A low temperature processing route for fabricating porous SiC ceramics by carbothermal reduction has been demonstrated. Effects of expandable microsphere content, sintering temperature, filler content, and carbon source on microstructure, porosity, compressive strength, cell size, and cell density were investigated in the processing of porous silicon carbide ceramics using expandable microspheres as a pore former. A higher microsphere content led to a higher porosity and a higher cell density. A higher sintering temperature resulted in a decreased porosity because of an enhanced densification. The addition of inert filler increased the porosity, but decreased the cell density. The compressive strength of the porous ceramics decreased with increasing the porosity. Typical compressive strength of porous SiC ceramics with ${\sim}70%$ porosity was ${\sim}13 MPa$.

An anode-supported SOFC single cell having $5{\mu}m$ thin electrolyte was fabricated cost-effectively by tape casting, laminating, and co-filing of anode (NiO-YSZ), cathode (LSM-YSZ), and electrolyte (YSZ) components. The optimal slurry compositions of the green tapes for SOFC components were determined by an analysis of the mean diameter, the slurry viscosity, the tensile strength/strain of the green tapes, and their green microstructures. The single cells with a dense electrolyte and porous electrodes could be co-fired successfully at $1325\sim1350^{\circ}C$ by controlling the contents of pore former and the ratio of coarse YSZ and fine YSZ in the anode and the cathode. The single cell co-fired at $1350^{\circ}C$ showed $100.2mWcm^{-2}$ of maximum power density at $800^{\circ}C$ but it was impossible to apply it to operate at low temperature because of low performance and high ASR, which were attributed to formation of the secondary phases in the cathode and the interface between the electrolyte and the cathode.

A simple pressing process using zirconia and microbead for fabricating porous zirconia ceramics is demonstrated. Effects of microbead content and sintering temperature on microstructure, porosity, compressive and flexural strengths were investigated in the processing of porous zirconia ceramics using microbead as a pore former. By controlling the microbead content and the sintering temperature, it was possible to produce porous zirconia ceramics with porosities ranging from 43% to 70%. Typical compressive and flexural strength values at ${\sim}50%$ porosity were ${\sim}150\;MPa$ and ${\sim}35\;MPa$, respectively.

Various types of compounds were tested with the aspects of decomposition and formation of residue in a $CO_2$ or 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. The evaporation temperature range of each compound was determined from thermogravimetric curve. Decomposition of dicarbon amide, stearic acid, acrowax and zinc stearate was studied by thermogravimetry in $CO_2$ or in 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. All compounds were decomposed in $CO_2$ atmosphere at lower than 40$0^{\circ}C$, but the residue, ZnO remained for zinc stearate. ZnO did not decompose in $CO_2$ atmosphere up to 130$0^{\circ}C$, but reduced into Zn metal and disappeared in the temperature range of $600^{\circ}C$ to 120$0^{\circ}C$ in 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. The effect of residue, which trapped in closed pores of sintered pellet, on the thermal stability was studied using the resintering test at 1$700^{\circ}C$ in 7H$_2$+93$N_2$ atmosphere. In the case of oxidative sintered pellet with admixing zinc stearate, the cavity formation accompanied with a density drop after resintering is due to the pressure of the Zn gases trapped in the isolated pores.

고체산화물 연료전지의 성능과 안정성은 전극의 기공률, 기공 분포와 전해질의 치밀도, 두께에 따라 결정 된다. 연료극의 기공률과 기공 분포는 활성면적와 연료 흐름에 영향을 주고, 전해질의 치밀한 미세구조와 두께는 단위전지의 Ohmic 저항에 영향을 준다. 하지만 이를 위해 값 비싼 공정 장비를 이용하거나 여러 단계의 제작 공정이 추가 될 경우 단위전지 제작비가 증가하므로 상업화를 목표로 하는 연구에는 적합하지 않다. 본 연구에서는 위와 같은 문제점들을 해결하기 위하여 상용 소재 기반의 NiO-YSZ 연료극을 선정 후 간단한 혼합 방법 및 일축가압 성형법과 담금코팅(dip coating) 공정을 사용하여 저비용 고효율의 세라믹 공정 기반의 고성능 단위전지를 제작하였다. 연료극의 기공률은 기공형성제로서 사용되는 카본 블랙(CB, carbon black)의 첨가량(10~20 wt%)과 최종 소결온도($1350{\sim}1450^{\circ}C$)를 변경하며 제어하였고, YSZ 전해질의 두께와 미세구조는 담금코팅 슬러리의 고상 분말량(YSZ, 1~5 vol%)을 제어하여 치밀한 박막의 전해질을 구현하고자 하였다. 그 결과 Ni-YSZ 연료극에서 최적의 값으로 잘 알려진 40%의 기공률은 카본 블랙을 15 wt% 첨가하고최종소결온도를 $1350^{\circ}C$로설정함으로써얻을수있었다. 담금코팅을통한 YSZ 두께는 $2{\sim}28{\mu}m$까지 제어가 가능하였고, 3 vol%의 고상분말량에서 치밀한 전해질 미세구조가 형성되었다. 최종적으로 40%의 기공률을 갖는 Ni-YSZ 연료극, $20{\mu}m$ 두께의 치밀한 YSZ전해질, LSM-YSZ 공기극으로 구성된 단위전지는 $800^{\circ}C$에서 $1.426Wcm^{-2}$의 우수한 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

폴리다이아세틸렌(polydiacetylene: PDA)은 독특한 광학적 특성, 즉 외부자극에 의하여 파란색에서 빨간색으로 색상이 변화하는 동시에 형광이 없던 상태에서 자가형광을 발현하는 특성 때문에 화학, 바이오센서로써 응용하기 위한 많은 연구들이 진행되어 왔다. 특히, 센서의 성능에서 감지하고자 하는 물질에 대한 우수한 민감도는 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 필터 사이즈를 이용하여 10,12-pentacosadynoic acid(PCDA) 베시클의 크기를 조절함과 동시에 중합온도를 조절하여 ${\alpha}$-사이클로텍스트린(CD)을 검출하여 두 가지 효과가 민감도 향상에 어떤 영향을 미치는지 조사하였다. 필터를 사용하지 않은 베시클과 0.22 ${\mu}m$로 필터한 베시클을 $25^{\circ}C$에서 고분자한 후에 ${\alpha}$-CD(5 mM)와 30분 반응하였을 때 색전이 정도(colorimetric response, CR)가 31.4%에서 74.0%로 증가하였다. 또한, 0.22 ${\mu}m$로 필터한 베시클을 $25^{\circ}C$와 $5^{\circ}C$에서 고분자한 후에 ${\alpha}$-CD(5 mM)와 30분 반응하였을 때 CR값이 74.0%에서 99.2%로 증가하였다. 이는 폴리다이아세틸렌의 크기와 고분자시 온도를 조절함으로써 민감도를 크게 증가시킬 수 있음을 보여준다. 또한, 폴리다이이아세틸렌은 감도 향상이 매우 중요한 바이오물질을 검출하는데 적용될 수 있을 것이다.

Venlafaxine, 1-[2-(dimethylamino)-1-(4-methoxyphenyl)ethyl] cyclohexanol hydrochloride is a novel, nontricyclic antidepressant. venlafaxine is a unique antidepressant that differs structurally from other currently available. The aim ot the study was to formulate sustained-release venlafaxine granules and assess their formulation variables. It consists of two layers, venlafaxine drug layer and sustained release coating layer and manufactured by fluidized bed process. The sustained release of drug could be increased by double-control rising various components in venlafaxine drug layer and sustained-release layer. The drug-containing granules were coated with cellulose acetate, cetyl alcohol and Eudragit RS along with plastisizer such as dibuthyl sebacate as an nano-pore former The release oi venlafaxine depended on the type of Eudragit such as RS, and RL used in the formulation of controlled release layer. These results obtained clearly suggest that the sustained release oral delivery system for venlafaxine could be designed with satisfying drug release profile approved.
