혼합전도체 산화물, LSCF의 전극반응점 분포에 따른 분극현상을 관찰하기 위해 다공성 양극의 기공률을 변화시켜가며 분극특성을 관찰하였다. 전극의 기공률을 달리하기 위해 크기가 다른 두 종류의 LSCF 분말들을 혼합비를 달리하여 사용하였으며 GDC 전해질 기판에 스크린 인쇄법을 통해 전극을 구성한 후 반쪽전지 실험을 수행하였다. 제조된 후막전극의 기공률은 화상 분석법을 통해 측정하였으며 전극의 전체 비표면적을 유추하기 위해 2차원 이미지에서의 기공의 둘레 길이를 측정하였다. 교류 임피던스법을 이용해 분극 특성을 관찰한 결과 혼합전도체인 LSCF 양극에서의 전극반응은 i) 양극표면에서 이온화된 산소이온이 전해질과의 삼상계면까지 이동해 오는 단계, ii) 이동해온 산소이온이 양극으로부터 전해질로 전달되는 반응단계에 의해 제어됨을 알 수 있었다. 이러한 양극에서의 분극은 기공률의 증가에 따라 전극 반응에 필요한 활성 표면이 증가됨으로써 줄어드는 것을 알 수 있었다.

For transdermal delivery of large molecular drugs such as vaccine and protein drugs, novel microneedle treatment device with roll was designed. The roll dimension is 1.43 cm diameter and 2.8 cm perimeter. Total number of microneedle on the roll is 3,360 with $230\;{\mu}m$ height and $740\;{\mu}m$ distance. The pore with $150\;{\mu}m$ depth and $35\;{\mu}m$ diameter on the skin was made by the designed microneedle device. This system could be achieved without pain. The permeation rates of FITC labelled ovalbumin (FITC-OVA, molecular weight: 45,000 g/mol) as a model protein were determined by modified Franz diffusion cells using skins of hairless mice or SD rats which were treated by using microneedle device two or four times. The average penetration fluxes of model protein increased from 674 to $872\;{\mu}g/cm^{2}{\cdot}hr$ as the number of treatment to make pore increased from two to four times. In conclusion, we confirmed the possibility of using the designed microneedle treatment device for transdermal delivery of the large molecular drugs.

The microstructure of Ni-YSZ composite as an anode of SOFC was investigated as a function of Ni content(10-70 vol%) in order to examine the correlation between microstructural-and electrical property. Image analysis based on quantitative microscopy theory was performed to quantify the microstructural property. We could get the informations about the size and distribution, contiguity and interfacial area of each phase or between the phases from the image analysis. According to the image analysis, contiguity between the same phae was mainly dependent on the amount of the phase while the contiguity between different phases was additionally influenced by the microstructural changes, especailly by the coarsening of the Ni phase. The whole length of pores perimeter was increased as Ni content increased, which indicated the overall microstructural evolution was mostly related with the coarsening of Ni phase. Ni-Ni interfacial area was also gradually increased as Ni content increased but controlled by pore phase at low Ni content region and by YSZ phase at intermediate Ni content region. These quantified microstructural properties were used to characterize the electrical properties of Ni-YSZ composite.
