Electrochemical double-layer capacitors (EDLCs) based on solid polymer electrolytes (SPEs) have gained an immense recognition in the present world due to their unique properties. This study is about preparing and characterizing EDLCs using a natural rubber (NR) based SPE with natural graphite (NG) electrodes. NR electrolyte was consisted with 49% methyl grafted natural rubber (MG49) and zinc trifluoromethanesulfonate ((Zn(CF₃SO₃)₂-ZnTF). It was characterized using electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) test, dc polarization test and linear sweep voltammetry (LSV) test. NG electrodes were made using a slurry of NG and acetone. EIS test, cyclic voltammetry (CV) test and galvanostatic charge discharge (GCD) test have been done to characterize the EDLC. Optimized electrolyte composition with NR: 0.6 ZnTF (weight basis) exhibited a conductivity of 0.6 x 10^-4 Scm^-1 at room temperature. Conductivity was predominantly due to ions. The electrochemical stability window was found to be from 0.25 V to 2.500 V. Electrolyte was sandwiched between two identical NG electrodes to fabricate an EDLC. Single electrode specific capacitance was about 2.26 Fg^-1 whereas the single electrode discharge capacitance was about 1.17 Fg^-1. The EDLC with this novel NR-ZnTF based SPE evidences its suitability to be used for different applications with further improvement.

본 연구에서는 8족 금속 원소인 오스뮴을 중심금속으로 일차아민을 포함하고 있는 피리딘 (pyridine) 화합물을 배위시켜 착화합물을 합성하였다. 합성된 오스뮴 착화합물은 $[Os(dme-bpy)_2(ap-im)Cl]^{+/2+}$을 순환전압전류법을 포함한 다양한 전기화학분석법을 이용하여 전기적인 성질을 조사하였다. 또한 합성된 일차 아민을 갖는 오스뮴 착화합물을 이용하여 당 측정용 바이오센서를 제작하기 위하여 금 나노입자(Cold nano-particles)를 전기적 흡착방법을 이용하여 스크린 인쇄방법으로 만든 탄소반죽 전극 (Screen Printed Carbon Electrodes, SPEs) 위에 고정화를 시켰다. 당과 당 분해효소(Glucose Oxidase, GOx)를 혼합하여 발생하는 산화촉매전류를 확인하였고, 당 농도에 따라 변화하는 산화촉매전류의 양도 확인하였다. 새롭게 만들어진 바이오센서는 1 mM 과 같은 낮은 농도에서 감응할 수 있는 바이오센서에 응용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

In this work, preparation and characterizations of hybrid membranes containing sulfonated poly(arylene ether sulfone) (SPES) and sulfonated poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (SPVdF-co-HFP) (20, 30 or 40 wt%) were carried out. The structure of hybrid membranes was confirmed using X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis and the Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. The prepared SPAES/SPVdF-30 membrane exhibits higher ionic conductivity of 68.9 mS/cm at $90^{\circ}C$ and 100% RH. Besides, the other studies showed that the hybrid membrane has good oxidation stability, thermal stability, and mechanical stability. Thus, we believe that the prepared hybrid membrane is suitable for the development of membranes for fuel cell applications.

The overuse of pesticides in agricultural sectors exposes people to food contamination. Pesticides are toxic to humans and can have both acute and chronic health effects. To protect food consumers from the adverse effects of pesticides, a rapid monitoring system of the residues is in dire need. Molecularly imprinted polymer (MIP) on a screen-printed electrode (SPE) is a leading and promising electrochemical sensing approach for the detection of several residues including pesticides. Despite the huge development in analytical instrumentation developed for contaminant detection in recent years such as HPLC and GC/MS, these conventional techniques are time-consuming and labor-intensive. Additionally, the imprinted SPE detection system offers a simple portable setup where all electrodes are integrated into a single strip, and a more affordable approach compared to MIP attached to traditional rod electrodes. Recently, numerous reviews have been published on the production and sensing applications of MIPs however, the research field lacks reviews on the use of MIPs on electrochemical sensors utilizing the SPE technology. This paper presents a distinguished overview of the MIP technique used on bare and modified SPEs for the detection of pesticides from four recent publications which are malathion, chlorpyrifos, paraoxon and cyhexatin. Different molecular imprint routes were used to prepare these biomimetic sensors including solution polymerization, thermal polymerization, and electropolymerization. The unique characteristics of each MIP-modified SPE are discussed and the comparison among the findings of the papers is critically reviewed.

For the purpose of inquiring into the actual conditions of water quality management of Simple Piped Water Supply(SPWS) and the satisfaction and attitudes of inhabitants about utilizing water-supply, this research was done through the questionnaires, the investigation of surrounding environment and water quality analysis in the Sangju city, Kyungsang-pookdo during 4 months from March to June, 1998. The fountainhead of SPES using ground water accounted for 65.3%, which was the highest rate in the group. Most of them was at least 10 years in the number of utilization year. 79.6% of them were exposed to many sorts of surrounding pollution origins. The examination of water was performed only through a test about water purification and 24.5% of them disinfection by chlorine also no residual chlorine was detected at all. All the waterworks did not have any education to the managers of water quality and 81.5% of them held physical examination. As a result of the water examination about SPWS, 65.3% of them were found incongruity and the valley and springing water accounted for higher than the underground water in the rate of incongruity. Looking into the details of the result in the water examination, a category of colon bacilli was ranked in the highest rate and the next one was general bacilli, nitric acid nitrogen and turbidity in order. In the satisfaction degree of the water quality, the satisfied accounted for 44.6%, and 29.2% each. Over the state of satisfaction about the ways of water examination, satisfaction accounted for 44.6%, and unsatisfaction 28.3%. Summarizing the result of the above-stated, the state of Water Quality Management of the SPWS was in a poor condition. Thus for the water Quality Management, systematic and scientific water Quality Management mainly by the administrative organization other than voluntary management by the village should be done beyond doubt. Additionally the opinions and demands of inhabitants utilizing the water supply have to be positively reflected in the affairs of water Quality Management so that the distrust of inhabitants to the SPWS should be settled.

유기용제가 신경행동기능에 미치는 영향을 평가하기 위하여 에탄올을 이용하여 저농도의 유기용제가 신경행동기능에 미치는 영향을 정량적으로 평가하고 신경행동기능 영역중 에탄올에 민감한 기능영역을 선별하기 위하여 실험연구를 시행하였다. 영남대학교 의과대학 학생중 20명을 대상으로 설문조사 및 신경행동학적 검사를 1996년 8월동안 실시하였다. 대상자의 체중 kg당 100% 알코올 0.5g을 섭취하고 개인용 컴퓨터를 이용하여 단순반응시간, 색단어구분, 숫자구분, 손가락두드리기, 숫자더하기, 부호숫자짝짓기, 숫자외우기를 시행하였다. 알코올 섭취 전과 후의 신경행동기능의 변화량은 단순반응시간(반응시간 237.4 : 269 msec, p<0.01), 숫자구분(반응시간 490.4 : 553.9 msec, p<0.01), 우수의 손가락두드리기(반응시간 66.7 : 63.3, p<0.05)와 부호숫자짝짓기(반응시간 1958.7 : 2066.6 msec, p<0.05)에서 통계적으로 매우 유의하였다. 평소 음주량이 많을수록 단순반응시간, 열수의 손가락두드리기, 부호숫자짝짓기에서는 반응시간이 길어지고, 우수의 손가락두드리기에서 두드린 수가 적어지는 경향을 보였다. 흡연량이 많을수록 열수의 손가락두드리기에서 두드린 횟수가 증가하는 경향을 보였다(p<0.05). 알코올의 급성폭로 후 나타난 결과로 만성적 폭로의 영향을 평가하는데 이용하기에는 다소 무리가 있으나 향후 유기용제의 만성효과에 관한 역학적 연구를 위한 신경행동학적 검사항목의 선택에 도움을 줄 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.
