본 연구에서는 소수성 PVDF막 표면에 중성 친수성 고분자인 Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)를 코팅한 후 순수 투과도를 측정하고 대표적인 단백질 오염물질인 bovin serum albumin (BSA)에 대하여 파울링 실험을 수행하였다. BSA 용액 20 ppm 조건에서 파울링 실험을 수행한 결과, 코팅 전 막에 비하여 순수 투과도는 감소하였지만 내오염성은 현저히 증가됨을 알 수 있었다. 코팅된 PVA의 분자량이 커질수록 순수 투과도는 감소하였으나, 내오염성이 증가하는 경향을 보였다. 또한, 코팅된 PVA의 농도가 높아질수록 순수 투과도는 감소하였고, 내오염성이 증가하였다. 이는 접촉각과 AFM 측정 결과와 관련하여 코팅 후 막 표면에 친수성의 증가와 거칠기가 감소했기 때문으로 여겨진다.

본 연구에서는, 혐기성 처리수에 용해된 바이오가스의 회수를 위해 불화 실리카/고분자 중공사 복합막을 제조하고 막접촉기에서의 성능을 평가하였다. 복합막은 상용 폴리에테르이미드인(PEI) Ultem^®을 이용하여 만든 중공사막 표면에 불화 실리카를 강력한 공유 결합을 통해 코팅하는 방법으로 제조되었다. 막접촉기는 바이오가스로 포화된 수용액을 중공사의 외부에 공급하고, 중공사 내부로 기체를 투과시키는 방법으로 운전하였다. 높은 공극률을 가진 중공사막(PEI-fSiO₂-A)은 액상 속도가 0.03 m/s일 때 메탄 회수 유량이 8.25 × 10^-5 ㎤ (STP)/㎠·s에 달했고 불화 실리카에 의해 표면 소수성이 매우 높아져 물과의 접촉각이 75.6°에서 120~122°로 향상되었다. 본 연구에서 제조된 복합막은 바이오가스의 투과 속도와 소수성 모두에서 탈기용으로 제조된 상용 폴리프로필렌 막보다 우수한 성능을 나타냈다.

The focus of this paper is on the numerical investigation of obliquely incident wane interactions with a system composed of full submerged and floating dual buoy/vertical-flexible-membrane breakwaters placed in parallel with spacing. The fully submerged systems allow surface and bottom clearances to enable wave transmission over and under the system. The problem is formulated based on the two-dimensional multi-domain hydro-elastic linear wave-body interaction theory. The hydrodynamic interaction of oblique incident waves with the combination of the rigid and flexible bodies was solved by the distribution of the simple sources (modified Bessel function of fille second kind) tat satisfy the Helmholz governing equation. Using this computer program, the performance of various dual systems varying buoy radiuses and drafts, membrane lengths, clearances. spacing, mooring-lines stiffness, mooring types, water depth, and wave characteristics is thoroughly examined. It is found that the fully submerged and floating dual buoy/membrane breakwaters call, if it is properly tuned to the coming waves, have good performances ill reflecting the obliquely incident waves over a tilde range of wave frequency and headings.

An ultrafiltration membrane (polyethersulfone, PM 10) was surface-modified by treating it with low-tem­perature plasmas of oxygen, acrylic acid (AA), acetylene, diaminocyolohexane (DACH), and hexamethyldisiloxane (HMDSO). The effects that these modifications have on the filtration efficiency of a membrane in waste water treat­ment were investigated. The oxygen, AA, and DACH plasma-treated membranes became more hydrophilic. The water contact angles ranged from < $10^{\circ}\;to\;55^{\circ}$ depending on the type of plasma and the treatment conditions. The oxygen plasma-treated membranes displayed a higher initial flux $(312-429\%),$ but lower rejection $(6-91\%),$ than did an untreated membrane. The AA plasma-treated membranes displayed lower or higher initial flux $(42-156\%),$ depending upon the treatment conditions, but higher rejection $(224-295\%)$ in all cases. The DACH plasma-treated membranes displayed lower initial flux. All of them, especially the AA plasma-treated membrane, displayed improved fouling resistance with either a slower or no flux decline. Acetylene and HMDSO plasma-treated membranes became more hydrophobic and displayed both lower initial flux and lower fouling resistance.

본 연구에서는 Polysulfone (PSf), Polyetherimide (PEI)를 각각 비율을 달리하여 아민화하였고, Polyether ether ketone (PEEK)을 설폰화하였다. 합성한 두 이온교환고분자를 더블캐스팅방법으로 SPEEK (sulfonated PEEK)/APSf (aminated PSf) 및 SPEEK/APEI (aminated PEI) 바이폴라막을 제조하였다. 각각의 막 표면을 불소화하고, 아민화 비율에 따라 차아염소산나트륨발생량을 비교하였다. 아민화 비율이 증가할수록 차아염소산나트륨 발생 농도 또한 증가하였다. SPEEK/APSf 3 : 1 막의 경우 불소화 전의 차아염소산나트륨 농도와 총 운전시간은 61.0 ppm, 220 min이고, 불소화한 막의 경우 58.6 ppm, 570 min이다. 또한 SPEEK/APEI 3 : 1 막에서 역시 불소화 전후의 차아염소산나트륨 농도는 각각 60.1 ppm, 58.3 ppm이고, 총 운전시간은 150 min에서 440 min으로 내구성이 크게 향상되었다. 따라서 표면 불소화가 막의 내구성에 중요한 역할을 한다고 사료된다.

Layer-by-layer assembled multilayers of poly(ethersulfone)s were deposited on the surface of Nafion membrane for the application of direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC). Aminated poly(ethersulfone) (APES) and sulfonated poly(ethersulfone) (SPES) were used as a polycation and a polyanion for fabrication of the multilayer films. UV/Vis absorption spectroscopy verified a linear build-up of the multilayers of APES and SPES on the surface of Nafion. Thin multilayer films deposited on the Nafion membrane enabled methanol permeability of the membrane to decrease by 78% in comparison with the pristine Nafion. The performance of DMFCs in concentrated methanol was highly enhanced by using the multilayer modified Nafion.

The multi-films of a metallic film and a transparent conducting oxide (TCO, indium-tin oxide, ITO) film were formed on the stainless steel 316 and 304 plates by a sputtering method and an E-beam method and then the external metallic region of the stainless steel bipolar plates was converted into the metal nitride films through an annealing process. The multi-film formed on the stainless steel bipolar plates showed the XRD patterns of the typical indium-tin oxide, the metallic phase and the metal substrate and the external nitride film. The XRD pattern of the thin film on the bipolar plates modified showed two metal nitride phases of CrN and $Cr_2N$ compound. Surface microstructural morphology of the multi-film deposited bipolar plates was observed by AFM and FE-SEM. The metal nitride film formed on the stainless steel bipolar plates represented a microstructural morphology of fine columnar grains with 10 nm diameter and 60nm length in FE-SEM images. The electrical resistivity of the stainless steel bipolar plates modified was evaluated.

Incorporating nano-materials in thin-film composite (TFC) membranes has been considered to be an approach to achieve higher membrane performance in various water treatment processes. This study investigated the rejection efficiency of three target compounds, i.e., reserpine, norfloxacin and tetracycline hydrochloride, by TFC membranes with different graphene oxide proportions. Graphene oxide (GO) was incorporated into the polyamide active layer of a TFC membrane via an interfacial polymerization (IP) reaction. The TFC membranes were characterized with FTIR, FE-SEM, AFM; in addition, the water contact angle measurements as well as the permeation and separation performance were evaluated. The prepared GO-TFC membranes exhibited a much higher flux ($3.11{\pm}0.04L/m2{\cdot}h{\cdot}bar$) than the pristine TFC membranes ($2.12{\pm}0.05L/m2{\cdot}h{\cdot}bar$) without sacrificing their foulant rejection abilities. At the same time, the GO-modified membrane appeared to be less sensitive to pH changes than the pure TFC membrane. A significant improvement in the anti-fouling property of the membrane was observed, which was ascribed to the favorable change in the membrane's hydrophilicity, surface morphology and surface charge through the addition of an appropriate amount of GO. This study predominantly improved the understanding of the different PA/GO membranes and outlined improved industrial applications of such membranes in the future.

Electron transfer of a redox protein at a bare gold electrode is too slow to observe the redox peaks. A novel Nafion-riboflavin functional membrane was constructed during this study and electron transfer of cytochrome c, superoxide dismutase, and hemoglobin were carried out on the functional membrane-modified gold electrode with good stability and repeatability. The immobilized protein-modified electrodes showed quasireversible electrochemical redox behaviors with formal potentials of 0.150, 0.175, and 0.202 V versus Ag/AgCl for the cytochrome c, superoxide dismutase and hemoglobin, respectively. Whole experiment was carried out in the 50 mM MOPS buffer solution with pH 6.0 at 25 oC. For the immobilized protein, the cathodic transfer coefficients were 0.67, 0.68 and 0.67 and electron transfer-rate constants were evaluated to be 2.25, 2.23 and 2.5 s?1, respectively. Hydrogen peroxide concentration was measured by the peroxidase activity of hemoglobin and our experiment revealed that the enzyme was fully functional while immobilized on the Nafion-riboflavin membrane.

In this study, poly (phenylene oxide) (PPO) and poysulfone (PSf) were sulfonated and aminated respectively. Both sulfonated poly (phenylene oxide) (SPPO) and aminated polysulfone (APSf) were characterized via the measurement of FT-IR, swelling degree, ion exchange capacity (IEC), and ion conductivity. Then the surfaces of these membranes were modified by surface fluorination using 2000 ppm $F_2$ gas against $N_2$ gas for 1 h at room temperature. The surface fluorinated SPPO and APSf membranes were characterized again to determine any differences between the pristine and fluorinated membranes. In total, 3 types of bi-polar membranes were prepared by varying the IEC of the APSf and having a fixed value for the IEC of the SPPO. The hypochlorite concentration generated by using the surface fluorinated membranes was dependent on the IEC of the APSf and ranged from 683 to 826 ppm, while there was a considerable improvement in the durability of the surface fluorinated membranes as they remained intact even after operating for 4 h.
