In this study, polymer-fluorinated silica composite hollow fiber membranes were fabricated and applied to a membrane contactor for the recovery of methane dissolved in the anaerobic effluent. To prepare the composite membranes, porous hollow fiber substrates were fabricated with Ultem^®, a commercial polyetherimide (PEI). Subsequently, fluorinated silica particles were synthesized and coated on the surface via strong covalent bonding. Due to the high porosity, our membrane showed a CH₄ flux of 8.25 × 10^-5 ㎤ (STP)/㎠·s at the liquid velocity of 0.03 m/s which is much higher that that of commercial polypropylene membrane designed for degassing processes. This is attributed to our membrane's high porosity as well as a superior surface hydrophobicity (120~122°) resulted from the coating with fluorinated silica nanoparticles.

Twenty five samples of the scheelite-powellite series from twelve Korean tungsten deposits of various geologic settings were studied mineralogically and geochemically. Variations in the trace-element contents of the scheelite minerals are considered in relation to geologic settings and mineralogic properties. Scheelites from ore deposits developed in similar geologic settings and under similar physicochemical conditions are characterized by specific combinations of trace elements.

This paper shows an experimental study for fundamental characteristics of alkali activated fly ash-slag cement paste exposed to seawater of 5℃. Fly ash and slag were blended in three different ratios; 6:4, 7:3, and 8:2. Activators (NaOH and Na2SiO3) used 5% of the binder weight. It was shown that as the fly ash substitution rate in creased, compressive strength and density decreased, and water absorption rate increased. The results of X-ray diffraction and thermogravimetry showed that hydration reactants formed in samples did not differ significantly, however, C-S-H gel increased as the slag substitution rate increased. It showed that mechanical properties of fly ash-slag cement pastes under 5℃ seawater condition were affected by the slag substitution rate rather than fly ash.

This study described the effects of RF power, DC bias voltage, chamber pressure and gas mixing ratio on the etch rates of TiN thin film and selectivity of TiN thin film to $SiO_2$ with $BCl_3$/Ar gas mixture. When the gas mixing ratio was $BCl_3$(20%)/Ar(80%) with other conditions were fixed, the maximum etch rate of TiN thin film was 170.6 nm/min. When the DC bias voltage increased from -50 V to -200 V, the etch rate of TiN thin film increased from 15 nm/min to 452 nm/min. As the RF power increased and chamber pressure decreased, the etch rate of TiN thin film showed an increasing tendency. When the gas mixing ratio was $BCl_3$(20%)/Ar(80%) under others conditions were fixed, the intensity of optical emission spectra from radical or ion such as Ar(750.4 nm), $Cl^+$(481.9 nm) and $Cl^{2+}$(460.8 nm) was highest. The TiN thin film was effectively removed by the chemically assisted physical etching in $BCl_3$/Ar ICP plasma.

Instant face lifting cosmetics contain various film forming agents for stretching the wrinkles on the skin surface. But, most of the film-forming polymers have sticky feels. And they are easily scrubbed out when skin is rubbed on. In this study, we focused on the influence of sodium silicate that has rapid film forming effect on skin surface and immediate wrinkle reducing effect. Sodium silicate, also known as water glass or soluble glass, is a compound containing sodium oxide and silica. Sodium silicate is a white powder that is readily soluble in water, producing an alkaline solution. Sodium silicate is stable in neutral and alkaline solutions. The sodium silicate solution hardens by drying in air and rapidly forms a thin film. When the solution is applied to the skin, the fine membrane coating is formed by water evaporation and ionic bond re-formation. It also makes the strong siloxane (Si-O) bonding on the skin surface. When these fixation properties are applied to cosmetics, they can give remarkable skin tightening effect. The sodium silicate solution can provide the lifting effect by forming a film on skin at a proper concentration. But, skin irritation may be caused with too high concentration of sodium silicate. We studied a desirable range of the sodium silicate concentration and combination with other fixatives for skin care formulation that has no sticky feels and no scrubbing out phenomenon. Immediate lifting gel was developed by using sodium silicate and various thickening systems. Among of the various thickeners, aluminum magnesium silicate showed the best compatibility with sodium silicate for rapid lifting effect. This instant physical lifting gel was confirmed as a low stimulating formula by skin clinical test.

We used $^6Li$ and $^7Li$ MAS NMR to investigate the fate and local environments of Li in the interlayer of clay minerals such as hectorite, Woming-montmorillonite, beidellite, and lepidollite at room and high ($250^{\circ}C$) temperature. Although $^6Li$ NMR spectra show narrower peaks than those of $^7Li$ NMR, S/N ratio is low and there are no obvious differences in chemical shifts suggesting that it is difficult to apply $^6Li$ NMR to have information on the local environments of Li in the clay interlayers. $^7Li$ NMR spectra, however, show changes in the peak width and quadrupole patterns providing information on the local environments of Li in the interlayer even though changes in the chemical shift are not observed. In montmorillonite, two different local environments of Li are observed; one has a narrow peak with typical quadrupole patterns whereas another has a broad peak without those of the patterns. Changes in the peak width is also observed from broad to narrow in the $^7Li$ NMR spectra for beidellite but not for hectorite at high temperature. Our results suggest that the peak width change in the broad peak is attributed to the coordination changes in the water molecules around Li which is tightly bonded on the basal oxygen of Si tetrahedra as inner-sphere complexes. The narrow peak in montmorillnoite can be assigned to the Li bended as outer-sphere complexes.

Polymer concrete shows excellent mechanical properties and chemical resistance compared with conventional normal cement concrete. The polymer concrete Is drawing a strong interest as high-performance materials in the construction industry Resins using recycled PET offer the possibility of a lower source cost of materials for making useful polymer concrete products. Also the recycling of PET in polymer concrete would help solve some of the solid waste problems Posed by plastics and save energy. An objective of this paper is to estimate the damage of sulfuric acid, through investigating recycled PET polymer concrete, immersed at sulfuric acid solution for 84 days. As a result of testing, recycled PET PC, used $CaCO_3$ as filler, makes a problem of appearance and strength if they are exposed for long term at corrosion environment. On the other hand, recycled PET PC, used fly-ash as filler, had less effect on decrease in weight and strength. Recycled PET PC is excellent chemical resistance, resulting in the role of unsaturated polyester resin which consists of polymer chain structure accomplishes bond of aggregates and filler strongly. Also, recycled PET PC, used fly-ash as filler, is stronger resistance of sulfuric acid corrosion than $CaCO_3$, because it is composed of $SiO_2$ and very strong glassy crystal structure. Therefore, recycled PET PC, used fly-ash as filler, is available under corrosion circumstances like sewer pipe or waste disposal plant.

To investigate the effects of paper sludge on the seasonal variations of soil humus, paper sludges were applied to the pots at the rates of 600㎏/10a which was either preadjusted C/N ratio to 30 : 1 or not adjusted. The effects were compared with those of control. 1) The contents of ether soluble materials, resins, water soluble polysaccharides, hemicellulose, cellulose, ligno-protein, humic acid and fulvic acid were higher in the sludge treated soil than in the control, furthermore, the content of ligno-protein had positive correlation with that of organic nitrogen in soil. 2) Optical density of UV and visible spectra of humic acid obtained from all the treated soil was decreased with increasing wavelength. In functional groups of humic acid, phenolic-OH/alcoholic-OH ratio was slightly higher in the sludge treated soil than in the control. The types of humic acid in all treated soil were P and Rp types. 3) The infrared spectra of humic acid extracted from the soil were characterized by main absorption bands in the regions of $3, 400cm^{-1}$(H-bonded OH), $2,900cm^{-1}$ (aliphatic C-H stretching), $1,630cm^{-1}$ (aromatic C=C and/or H-bonded C=O) and $1,050cm^{-1}$ (Si-O of silicate impurity).

나노테크놀로지는 종래의 가공으로는 얻기 힘들었던 섬유가공 효과를 간단하게 할 수 있는 기술이다. 현재 각국의 기능성 나노 가공제를 섬유에 응용하는 나노 테크놀로지는 현재 공업 생산되고 있는 면, 모, 견 등의 천연섬유 및 polyester, Nylon 등의 합성섬유의 원단에 적용하는 데서 출발하고 있다. 이러한 나노기술은 기존의 설비와 물을 사용하는 것이 큰 특징이고, 특별한 기계장치가 필요하지 않으며, 소규모의 실험장비만 있어도 현장투입이 가능한 나노입자의 제조가 가능하기 때문에 대량생산이 용이하고 설비투자는 원칙적으로 필요하지 않는다. 또한, 나노입자의 분산을 제대로 시키면 그 사이즈가 빛의 가시광선 영역의 파장(400~800nm)에 비해 절반 수준이하 크기의 입자가 대부분을 차지하기 때문에 염색성, 태의 변화가 적어 앞으로 더욱더 나노테크놀로지에 의한 가공이 확대될 것이 예상된다. 특히 유 무기 하이브리드 재료는 용액상태에서 제조되기 때문에 용액 코팅공정의 적용이 가능하여 다양한 코팅에 적극적으로 활용되고 있다. 또한 코팅공정 온도가 상대적으로 낮아서, 유기물의 기능성 발현이 용이하며, 섬유가공에 그대로 적용이 가능하고, 섬유고분자와 내구성 있게 직접 결합이 되어 실용성이 높다 할 수 있다. 또한 나노졸의 형성 시, 혹은 나노졸에 기능성 물질을 첨가함으로서 나노졸과 기능성 물질을 복합화하여 섬유상에 부여하는 것도 가능하다. 최근에 실리카졸의 형성과 성장에 관한 연구는 졸-겔 기술의 발전과 해석 및 상용화에 집중되어 있다. 규산나트륨과 황산 또는 염산을 사용하여 실리카를 생성하는 공정은 tetraethoxysilane (($Si(OC_2H_5)_4$, (TEOS))를 이용하여 합성하는 방법과 달리 대량의 실리카를 경제적으로 생산하는데 방법으로 널리 연구되고 있지만, 많은 연구가 수행되었음에도 불구하고 실리카 졸의 특성, 성장, 제조에 대한 충분한 이해가 이루어 지지 않고 있어, 아직까지 나노크기의 입자를 제조하는 공정에 대해서는 경제성, 효율성, 품질의 균일성이 떨어지는 것이 현실이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 앞서 연구된 졸-겔 합성기술과 저렴한 원료인 규산나트륨을 이용하여 보다 간단하고 경제적인 방법으로 고부가가치의 다양한 실리카 나노졸을 제조할 수 있는 연구를 하고자 하였다. 이를 위해 규산나트륨 수용액의 특성, 핵 생성에 필요한 규산나트륨 수용액의 산화반응 특성, 그리고 출발용액의 졸겔 반응을 기초로 하여 실리카 졸 형성에 대한 반응물질의 혼합방법, 반응온도, 반응물의 농도, pH등이 최종 실리카 나노졸 제품의 입자 크기와 모양 등에 미치는 영향을 조사하려고 하며 이를 토대로 다양한 크기와 특성을 가진 실리카 나노졸을 제조하였다.

The effect of hydrogen-nitrogen annealing on the interface trap properties of Metal-Oxide-Nitride-Oxide-Silicon (MONOS) capacitors is investigated by analyzing the capacitors' gate leakage current and the interface trap density between the Si and $SiO_2$ layer. MONOS samples annealed at $850^{\circ}C$ for 30 s by rapid thermal annealing (RTA) are treated by additional annealing in a furnace, using annealing eases $N_2$ and 2% hydrogen and 98% nitrogen gas mixture $(N_2-H_2)$ at $450^{\circ}C$ for 30 mins. Among the three samples as-deposited, annealed in $N_2$ and $N_2-H_2$, MONOS sample annealed in an $N_2-H_2$ environment is found to have the lowest increase of interface-trap density from the capacitance-voltage experiments. The leakage current of sample annealed in $N_2-H_2$ is also lower than that of sample annealed in $N_2$.
