In this study, a new type of Aliquat 336/PVC membrane has been made for extraction experiments. This new membrane is capable of holding more Aliquat 336 than previously developed extraction membranes, hence overcoming a major problem that has confronted many researchers for a long time. The new membrane has been used try investigate the rate of extraction fur the Cd(II) ion in 2.0 M HCI solution and the effect of membrane thickness on the rate of extraction. The experimental results have shown this new membrane has a promising future in relevant industrial applications. A new method is also used in this study to qualitatively identify the oily substance on the surface of membrane after the extraction experiment was completed. This oily substance has been found to be Aliquat 336.

With an active structural involvement in spiral case structure (SCS) that is always the design and research focus of hydroelectric power plant (HPP), the compressible membrane sandwiched between steel spiral case and surrounding reinforced concrete was often assumed to be linear elastic material in conventional design analysis of SCS. Unfortunately considerable previous studies have proved that the foam material serving as membrane exhibits essentially nonlinear mechanical behavior. In order to clarify the effect of membrane (foam) material's nonlinear stress-strain behavior on SCS, this work performed a case study on SCS with a compressible membrane using the ABAQUS code after a sound calibration of the employed constitutive model describing foam material. In view of the successful capture of fitted stress-strain curve of test by the FEM program, we recommend an application and dissemination of the simulation technique employed in this work for membrane material description to structural designers of SCS. Even more important, the case study argues that taking into account the nonlinear stress-strain response of membrane material in loading process is definitely essential. However, we hold it unnecessary to consider the membrane material's hysteresis and additionally, employment of nonlinear elastic model for membrane material description is adequate to the structural design of SCS. Understanding and accepting these concepts will help to analyze and predict the structural performance of SCS more accurately in design effort.

A low temperature decal (LTD) transfer method is tried to fabricated hydrocarbon (HC) membrane based MEA. Sandwiched structures of outer ionomer/catalyst/carbon coating/substrate, which had been developed for Nafion membrane, are used for transfer of catalyst to the HC membrane. Performances of the HC MEA before and after 500hr continuous operation are compared and it is found that a severe delamination occurs at the interface between the HC membrane and the catalyst layer, which is the main reason of the low performance and its degradation. The delamination is due probably to the different nature of HC membrane to the Nafion ionomer. A substitutional method, therefore, is suggested to overcome this. In such a way, the outer ionomer process is removed and the low transfer rate of catalyst by skipping the ionomer process is compensated with optimization of other process variables such as transfer time or temperature. The resulting performance is superior to the original LTD method, which can be explained in terms of low resistive components both in ohmic and kinetic.

This paper describes the fabrication methods of a carbon nanotube (CNT) filter and a microdialysis chip. A CNT filter can help perform dialysis on a microfluidic chip. In this study, a membrane type of a CNT filter is fabricated and located in a microfluidic chip. The filter plays a role of a dialysis membrane in a microfluidic chip. In the fabrication process of a CNT filter, individual CNTs are entangled each other by amide bonding that is catalyzed by 1-Ethyl-3-(3-dimethylaminopropyl)carbodiimide (EDC) and N-hydroxysuccinimide (NHS). The chemically treated CNTs are shaped to form a CNT filter using a PDMS film-mold and vacuum filtering. Then, the CNT filter is sandwiched between PDMS substrates, and they are bonded together using a thin layer of PDMS prepolymer as adhesive. The PDMS substrates are fabricated to have a microchannel by standard photo-lithography technique.

Striated muscle insertions into the skin and mucosa are present in the head, neck, and pelvic floor. We reexamined the histology of these tissues to elucidate their role in transmission of the force. We examined histological sections of 25 human fetuses (gestational ages of ~11-19 weeks and ~26-40 weeks) and 6 cadavers of elderly individuals. Facial muscle insertion or terminal almost always formed as an interdigitation with another muscle or as a circular arrangement in which muscle fiber insertions were sandwiched and mechanically supported by other muscle fibers (like an in-series muscle). Our examination of the face revealed some limited exceptions in which muscle fibers that approached the dermis were always in the nasalis and mentalis muscles, and often in the levator labii superioris alaeque nasi muscle. The buccinator muscle was consistently inserted into the basement membrane of the oral mucosa. Parts of the uvulae muscle in the soft palate and of the intrinsic vertical muscle of the tongue were likely to direct toward the mucosa. In contrast, the pelvic floor did not contain striated muscle fibers that were directed toward the skin or mucosa. Although 'cutaneous muscle' is a common term, the actual insertion of a muscle into the skin or mucosa seemed to be very rare. Instead, superficial muscle insertion often consisted of interdigitated muscle bundles that had different functional vectors. In this case, the terminal of one muscle bundle was sandwiched and fixed mechanically by other bundles.

고분자/층상실리케이트 나노복합체(polymer/layeres silicate nanocomposite, PLSNs) 필름은 보통 내부층을 나트륨과 같은 양이온을 이용한 이온교환을 통해 유기화된 clay로 만든 재료의 새로운 형태이다. 이것은 중합법, 용액법, 그리고 용융법과 같은 다양한 방법으로 제조할 수 있으며, 열경화성, 열가소성이나 탄성고분자와 같은 넓은 범위의 고분자를 기질로 사용할 수 있다. PLSNs 필름은 고분자 사슬이 일정한 간격으로 쌓여있는 실리케이트에 삽입하여 간격을 넓히는 삽입형과 각각의 실리케이트 층이 고분자 기질에 불균일하게 분산되어 형성하는 박리형 두 가지 형태의 구조를 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 새로운 분야의 재료는 보통 5 wt$\%$ 이하의 소량의 clay 함유만으로도 향상된 기계적, 열적 특성을 얻을 수 있다. 그리고 clay의 함유량이 증가할수록 기체 투과경로인 tortuosity가 증가하여 기체 투과도가 감소한다.

실리콘기판 위에 스트레스균형이 이루어진 150 nm-$Si_{3}N_{4}$/300 nm-$SiO_{2}$/150 nm-$Si_{3}N_{4}$ 구조의 평탄한 유전체 멤브레인을 제작하였다. 이 멤브레인의 스트레스 특성평가를 위하여 stress-deflection, stress-temperature 및 스트레인 진단용 시험패턴의 특성을 측정분석하였고, 중간에 있는 $SiO_{2}$층을 PECVD, LPCVD 및 APCVD방법으로 각각 증착하여 $SiO_{2}$층의 증착방법에 따른 적층 유전체박막의 스트레스특성에 대해서도 논의하였다. 대부분의 경우 적층 유전체 멤브레인에 인장스트레스가 존재하였으나, $SiO_{2}$층의 증착방법과 거의 무관하게 $1,150^{\circ}C$의 후습식산화로 실리콘기판에 의해 멤브레인에 나타나는 인장스트레스의 균형을 얻을 수 있었다. 온도변화에 따른 멤브레인에서의 스트레스 변화특성으로 부터 후산화처리를 하지 않는 경우에는 중간의 $SiO_{2}$ 층으로 APCVD방법에 의해 증착된 LTO가 더 적합한 것으로 나타났다.

A lightweight 200W direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC) stack is designed and fabricated to power a small scale Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV). The DMFC stack consists of 33-cells in which membrane-electrode assemblies (MEAs) having an active area of 88 $cm^2$ are sandwiched with lightweight composite bipolar plates. The total stack weight is around 3.485 kg and stack performance is tested under various methanol feed concentrations. The DMFC stack delivers a maximum power of 248 W at 13.2 V and $71.3^{\circ}C$ under methanol feed concentration of 1.2 M. In addition, the voltage of individual cell in the 33-cell stack is measured at various current levels to ensure the stability of DMFC stack operations. The cell voltage distribution data exhibit the maximum cell voltage deviation of 28 mV at 15 A and hence the uniformity of cell voltages is acceptable. These results clearly demonstrate that DMFC technology becomes a potential candidate for small-scale UAV applications.

교류-직류 변환방법으로 교류전압 및 전류를 정밀측정하기 위한 평면형 다중접합 열전변환기를 제작하였다. 실리콘 기판에 지지된 $Si_{3}N_{4}$ (200 nm) / $SiO_{2}$ (400 nm) / $Si_{3}N_{4}$ (200 nm) 샌드위치구조의 두께 $0.8\;{\mu}m$ (크기 $2{\times}4\;mm^{2}$)의 멤브레인 위에 가열선과 열전대 접합을 형성하였다. 멤브레인의 세로방향 중앙에 NiCr 가열선을 배치하고, 가열선 주위 또는 그 위에 동-콘스탄탄(Cu- CuNi44)으로 $48{\sim}156$ 개의 열전대의 열(熱)접합을 형성하였으며, 열전대의 냉(冷)접합은 실리콘 기판 위에 형성하였다. 직류 10 mA의 입력에 대한 열전대의 출력전압은 종류에 따라 $76\;mV{\sim}382\;mV$를 얻었으며, 입력 5 mA일때 출력전압의 단기안정도는 ${\pm}5{\sim}15\;ppm4/ 10 min이었다. 공기분위기에서 감응도는 $3.9{\sim}14.5V/W$로 측정되었고, 열전대의 수가 48개인 모델 BF48의 경우 공기중에서의 감응도가 3.9 V/W로써, 56개의 열전대를 갖는 3차원구조 다중접합 열전변환기의 진공분위기에서의 감응도보다 2배 이상 크게 나타났다. 또한 측정전류 10 mA 이하, 측정주파수 $5\;Hz{\sim}2\;kHz$에서의 교류-직류 변환차이는 약 ${\pm}1\;ppm$ 이하이었고, 5 kHz 및 10 kHz에서는 약 $2{\sim}3\;ppm$ 이었다.
