We investigated a SiC-based hydrogen gas sensor with MIS (metal-insulator-semiconductor) structure for high temperature applications. The sensor was fabricated by $Pd/TiO_2/SiC$ structure, and a thin titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) layer was exploited for sensitivity improvement. In the experiment, dependences of I-V characteristics and capacitance response properties on hydrogen gas concentrations from 0 to 2,000 ppm were analyzed at room temperature to $400^{\circ}C$. As the result, our sensor using $TiO_2$ dielectric layer showed possibilities with regard to use in hydrogen gas sensors for high-temperature applications.

This research article explores the use of phthalocyanine reactive dye on nylon substrate. The effect of factors such as pH, temperature, liquor ratio and alkali addition on level of dye exhaustion, fixation and total fixation efficiency. Low pH, high temperature and low liquor ratio were found to be suitable conditions for maximum % exhaustion values. The effect of sulphatoethylsulphone(SES) and vinylsulphone(VS) form of the dyes on level of dye fixation was also discussed. The optimized exhaustion (%E), fixation(%F) and total fixation efficiency were determined. Modification of the dyeing process with alkali addition displayed that dye fixation(%) increased by alkali addition. Vinylsulphone(VS) moiety of the dye was found to be superior to. maximum fixation (%F). Appropriate predictable empirical models, relatively a new approach in dyeing processes, were developed incorporating interactions effects of temperature, pH and liquor ratio for predicting % exhaustion, fixation and total fixation efficiency. The significance of the mathematical model developed was ascertained using microsoft excel regression(solver) analysis module. High correlation coefficient was obtained (R2=0.9895 for % exhaustion, R2=0.9932 for fixation, R2=0.9965 for total fixation efficiency) for the model which shows prominent prediction capacity of the model for my conditions. The predictable polynomial equations developed from tile experimental results were thoroughly analyzed by ANOVA (Analysis of Variance) statistical concepts.

New polyelectrolytes derived from ionene-containing photocurable reactive oligomer (PIDM) were prepared for water-resistant humidity-sensitive membranes. The mixture of PIDM, hexamethylene dimethacrylate (HDM), pentaerythritol triacrylate dimer (SP1013), and photoinitiator was simultaneously coated on the sensor electrode with photoinitiated radical polymerization. The pretreatment of the substrates with vinyl-type silane-coupling reagent was performed for improving the water durability and stability of the sensors at high temperature and humidity. When the resistance dependences on the relative humidity of the crosslinked PIDMs were measured, it was found that the resistance varied three orders of magnitude between 20 and 90%RH, which was required for the humidity sensor operating at ambient humidity. Their hysteresis, temperature dependence, response time, water durability, and high temperature/humidity stabilities were measured and evaluated as a humidity-sensing membrane.

A kinetic study is reported on nucleophilic substitution reactions of Y-substituted-phenyl picolinates (7a-7h) with a series of cyclic secondary amines in 80 mol % $H_2O$/20 mol % DMSO at $25.0{\pm}0.1^{\circ}C$. Comparison of the kinetic results with those reported previously for the corresponding reactions of Y-substituted-phenyl benzoates (1a-1f) reveals that 7a-7h are significantly more reactive than 1a-1f. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plot for the aminolysis of 4-nitrophenyl picolinate (7a) is linear with ${\beta}_{nuc}=0.78$, which is typical for reactions proceeding through a stepwise mechanism with expulsion of the leaving group being the rate-determining step. The Br${\o}$nsted-type plots for the piperidinolysis of 7a-7h and 1a-1f are also linear with ${\beta}_{lg}=-1.04$ and -1.39, respectively, indicating that the more reactive 7a-7h are less selective than the less reactive 1a-1f to the leaving-group basicity. One might suggest that the enhanced reactivity of 7a-7h is due to the inductive effect exerted by the electronegative N atom in the picolinyl moiety, while the decreased selectivity of the more reactive substrates is in accord with the reactivity-selectivity principle. However, the nature of intermediate (e.g., a stabilized cyclic intermediate through the intramolecular H-bonding interaction for the reactions of 7a-7h, which is structurally not possible for the reactions of 1a-1f) is also responsible for the enhanced reactivity with a decreased selectivity.

The ITO films were deposited on glass substrates by RF-superimposed dc reactive magnetron sputtering and were annealed in $N_2$ vacuum furnace with temperatures in the range of $403K{\sim}573K$ for 30 minutes. Electrical, optical and structural properties of ITO films were examined with varying annealing temperatures from 403 K to 573 K. The resistivity of as-deposited ITO films was $5.4{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$ at the sputter conditions of applied RF/DC power of 200/200 W, $O_{2}$ flow of 0.2 seem and Ar flow of 0.2 seem. As a result of annealing in the temperature range of $403K{\sim}573K$, the crystallization occurred at 423 K that is lower than the crystallization temperature caused by a conventional sputtering method. And the resistivity decreased from $5.4{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm\;to\;2.3{\times}10^{-4}{\Omega}cm$, the carrier concentration and mobility of ITO films increased from $4.9{\times}10^{20}/cm^3\;to\;6.4{\times}10^{20}/cm^3$, from $20.4cm^2/Vsec\;to\;41.0cm^2/Vsec$, respectively. The transmittance of ITO films in visible became higher than 90% when annealed in the temperature range of $423K{\sim}573K$. High quality ITO thin films made by RF-superimposed dc reactive magnetron sputtering and annealing in $N_2$ vacuum furnace will be applied to transparent conductive oxides of the advanced flat panel display.

Crude cellulases freshly prepared from cultures of Aspergillus niger, Prnicillum motatum, Trichoderma vride 16273 and Trichoderma viride 16374 were assayed on 4 different substrates including Na-CMC, cellulose powder, starch and sucrose. Enzyme prepared from A. niger contained highly active hydrolytic enzymes of the 4 substrates assayed. P. notatum [yielded relatively lower amount of cellulase but the extracts were also highly reactive on starch and sucrose. Trichoderma viride 16274 yielded very little cellulase and invertase, but the extracts showed a high degree of amylase activity. Trichoderma viride 16374, however, yielded collulase comparable to that of Penicillium notatum, but lower activities of amylase and invertase were seen. Commercial cellulases prepared from Penicillium notatum (cellulase[K]) and Trichoderma viride(cellulase[J]) indicated enzyme activities closely parallel to the crude enzymes freshly prepared from fungus cultures. The optimum pH's of cellulolytic activities of cellulase[K] and cellulase[J] were 4.0 and 5.0 respectively. The optimum temperatures of the cellulolytic activities of cellulase[K] and cellualse[J] were 4.0 and 5.0 respectively. The optimum temperatures of the cellulolytic activities of cellulase [K] and cellulase [J] were $60{\circ}C$ and $50{\circ}C$ respectively. Assuming the average molecular weight of Na-CMC is about 115,000, the Km values of cellulase [K] and cellulase[J] were found to be $3.3{\times}10^{-5}/nM$ and $3.3{\times}10^{-4}/nM$ respectively.

(Ti1-xAlx)N films were deposited on high speed steel and silicon substrates by reactive sputtering in mixed $Ar-N_2$ discharges. Crystalline phases and microhardness of ($Ti_1_xAl_x$)N films were investigated with variation of the film composition and substrate RF bias voltage. With Al content x of about 0.6, crystalline phase of ( $Ti_1_xAl_x$N films was changed from single-phase NaCl structure to two phase mixture of NaCl and wurtzite structures: Microhardness of ($Ti_1_xAl_x$)N films was largely improved by applying RF bias voltage above 50 V during deposition. Hardness of ($Ti_1_xAl_x$)N films reached a maximum value for Al content x of about 0.4, and 1900 kg/$mm^2$ was obtained for 1$\mu m$-thick ($Ti_{0.6}Al_{0.4}$)N films.

This paper present characteristics of chromium oxide thin-film as piezoresistive sensors, which were deposited on Si substrates by DC reactive magnetron sputtering in an argon-Oxide atmosphere for high temperature applications. The chemical composition, physical and electrical properties and thermal stability ranges of the $CrO_{x}$ sensing elements have studied. $CrO_{x}$ thin films with a linear gauge factor(GF${\fallingdotseq}$15), high electrical resistivity (${\rho}$ = $340{\mu}{\Omega}cm$) and TCR<-55 ppm/$^{\circ}C$ have been obtained. These $CrO_{x}$ thin films may allow high temperature pressure sensor miniaturization to be achieved.

In order to dye polyester/cotton blend fabric by one-bath dyeing process with single disperse dye, a novel hetero-bifunctional bridge compound(DBDCBS) was synthesized and utilized. The DBDCBS was designed to contain two different reactive groups such as ${\alpha},{\beta}$-dibromopropionylamido and dichloro-s-triazinyl groups. The ${\alpha},{\beta}$-dibromopropionylamido group shows considerable reactivity towards amines or amino groups at acidic condition and high temperature. In contrast, the dichloro-s-triazinyl group has reactivity towards hydroxyl groups at alkaline condition and room temperature. In order to examine whether as a bridge the compound could combine dyes containing amino groups with cellulosic substrates, disperse dyes containing amino group were tried to dye the cotton fibers pretreated with the DBDCBS compound. By the results, polyester/cotton blends were dyed by one-bath dyeing process with single disperse dye,1,4-diaminoanthraquinone.

We deposited Al-doped ZnO (ZnO:Al) thin films on glass substrates ($200mm{\times}200mm$) by using in-line magnetron sputtering system. Effects of various deposition parameters such as working pressure, deposition power and substrate temperature on optoelectronic characteristics including surface-texture etching profiles were carefully investigated in this study. We found that relatively low working pressure and high deposition power offered to obtain enhanced conductivity and optical transmittance. Haze properties showed similar trend with the transmittance. Furthermore, surface-texture etching study exhibited good morphologies when the films were deposited at $200-300^{\circ}C$. On the basis of these optimizations, we could find the deposition region that produces highly transparent and conductive properties including efficient light scattering capability.
