에틸렌-테트라플르오르에틸렌(ETFE) 공중합체의 비등온 결정화 거동을 DSC와 imaging FTIR을 이용하여 살펴보았다. 변형 비등온 Avrami 분석 결과, DSC에 의한 열분석의 경우 상대적으로 적은 결정화 엔탈피 변화로 인하여 Avrami 식에 의한 ln[-ln(1-X(t))] vs. ln(t) 곡선이 선형을 이루지 못하는 반면, 결정화에 의한 IR 흡수 강도 image의 변화에 의한 분석 방법인 imaging FTIR의 경우보다 선형적인 결과를 얻음에 따라 imaging FTIR이 ETFE 비등온 결정화 연구에 보다 효과적임을 알 수 있었다. 이와 함께 비등온 결정화에 의한 ETFE의 광학특성을 살펴본 결과, 서냉에 의하여 형성된 ETFE 결정의 빛 산란에 의하여 haze가 증가하며 따라서 투명도가 감소함을 알 수 있으며 비등온 결정화에 의하여 최대 8%의 투과도 감소가 일어남을 확인할 수 있었다. 이상의 결과로부터 결정화를 조절하는 냉각속도가 유리 대체 소재로 사용되고 있는 ETFE 필름의 광투과도 조절에 주요한 가공 변수임을 확인할 수 있었다.

Remote fourier transform infrared(FTIR) chemical imaging detection system allows detection and identification of gases in the atmosphere from long distances. In this paper, the appropriate field of view(FOV) of the FTIR imaging system was examined and the main performance of the system for the interferometer was described. For the determination of the FOV, simulations of gas dispersion range were performed with the NBC reporting and modeling software(NBC-RAMS) developed by ADD. As a result, minimum 192 mrad of FOV was required for the remote FTIR imaging system to visualize chemical warfare agents dispersed in several hundred meters. At the same time, 0.75 mrad of instantaneous field of view(IFOV) for a linear interferometer proper to take a FOV for the chemical agent imaging.

In this paper, we propose a fast detection and identification algorithm of chemical gases with a passive FTIR spectrometer. We use a pre-detection algorithm that can reduce the spatial region effectively for gas detection and the candidates of the target. It is possible to remove background spectra effectively from measured spectra with the least-squares method. The CC(Correlation Coefficients) and the SNR(Signal-to-Noise Ratio) methods are used for the detection of target gases. The proposed pre-detection algorithm allows the total process of chemical gas detection to be performed with lower complexity compared with the conventional algorithms. This paper can help developing real-time chemical detection instruments and various applications of FTIR spectrometers.

Sodium zinc borate glasses doped with dysprosium and modified with different concentrations of barium oxide (0-50 mol %) were fabricated using the melting quenching technique. The structural properties of the prepared glass systems were characterized using XRD and FTIR methods. The absorption spectra of the prepared glasses were measured to determine their energy gap and their related optical properties. The density of the glasses and other physical parameters were also reported. Additionally, with the help of Photon Shielding and Dosimetry (PSD) software, we investigated the radiation shielding parameters of the prepared glass systems at different energy values. It was found that an increase in the density of the glasses by increasing the concentration of BaO significantly improved the gamma ray shielding ability of the samples. For practical results, a compatible irradiation set up was designed to check the shielding capability of the obtained glasses using a gamma ray source at 662 keV. The experimentally obtained results strongly agreed with the data obtained by PDS software at the same energy. These results demonstrated that the investigated glass system is a good candidate for several radiation shielding applications when comparing it with other commercial shielding glasses and concretes.

In this study, the thermal degradation properties of polyethylene terephthalate film has been examined by the capacitance, Tan ${\delta}$, thermography, FTIR, and SEM results at temperatures of $90{\sim}170^{\circ}C$ and frequencies of 0.3~3,000 kHz. It was found that the capacitance decreased with increasing thermal imaging temperature, probably caused by weakening of chemical bond with increasing temperature. Tan ${\delta}$ decreased upon increasing temperature from $90^{\circ}C$ to $170^{\circ}C$, probably due to the molecular motion of COOH radical or OH radical. The FT-IR measurement reveals that no structural change of the material occurs upon thermal radiation. The SEM measurement shows that the material is stabilized by thermal decomposition with increasing temperature; however, excessive thermal degradation obstructs the stabilization of the material.

Cytotoxicity is a severe problem of cadmium sulfide nanoparticles(CSNPs) for use in biological systems. In the present study, mercaptoacetic acid-coated CSNPs were conjugated with bovine serum albumin (BSA) to improve biocompatibility. The surface properties of the CSNPs and albumin-conjugated CSNPs (ACSNPs) were characterized by XRD, UV, FTIR, EA, TEM and DLS. Human breast cancer cells (KB cells) were then cultured in the presence of the nanoparticles to evaluate the cytotoxicity of CSNPs and ACSNPs. Finally, the fluorescence intensity of the nanoparticles' aqueous solution was examined using a fluorescence spectrometer. The results showed that the cell compatibility and fluorescence intensity of ACSNPs were higher than those of CSNPs. The strongly luminescent features of the biocompatible ACSNPs are promising for use in biological fields such as cellular labeling, intracellular tracking and molecular imaging.

Microplastic (MP) pollution in aquatic environments is a growing concern worldwide. This study investigated the abundance, types, and attributes of MPs in the surface water at two industrial sites (Avoimitro Ghat and Kalurghat) along the Karnaphuli River in Chattogram, Bangladesh. Sampling was conducted over eight months across three transects encompassing a total area of 500 m at each site. A manta net of 200 ㎛ mesh size was used to sample MPs. The obtained samples were subsequently filtered, enumerated, and characterized using a stereo microscope and imaging software. The mean abundance of MP particles (per km² ) was found higher in Avoimitro Ghat (94,861 ± 57,126) than in Kalurghat (31,343 ± 23,183). A significant statistical difference (p < 0.05) was observed in the mean abundance of MP particles between the wet and dry seasons. The fragment group of MP exhibited the most abundant category, whereas the pellet category displayed the lowest. MPs with an elongated shape prevailed at both locations throughout all seasons. At Avoimitro Ghat, blue-colored MPs demonstrated the highest mean count, while in Kalurghat, the highest mean count belonged to brown-colored MPs. The size distribution of MPs differed between the two sites, with 1-2 mm MPs being plentiful in both seasons and Avoimitro Ghat, whereas MPs ranging from 500 ㎛ to less than 1 mm were abundant in Kalurghat. Ten (10) polymer types were found from Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) analysis with high levels of polypropylene atactic in both Avoimitro Ghat (32%) and Kalurghat (17%). The findings provide important insights into MP pollution in the Karnaphuli River, which may aid in developing effective strategies to mitigate the impacts of MP pollution on the aquatic ecosystem and human health.

Quantum wells infrared photodetectors (QWIPs) have been used to detect infrared radiations through the principle based on the localized stated in quantum wells (QWs) [1]. The mature III-V compound semiconductor technology used to fabricate these devices results in much lower costs, larger array sizes, higher pixel operability, and better uniformity than those achievable with competing technologies such as HgCdTe. Especially, GaAs/AlGaAs QWIPs have been extensively used for large focal plane arrays (FPAs) of infrared imaging system. However, the research efforts for increasing sensitivity and operating temperature of the QWIPs still have pursued. The modification of heterostructures [2] and the various fabrications for preventing polarization selection rule [3] were suggested. In order to enhance optical performances of the QWIPs, double barrier quantum well (DBQW) structures will be introduced as the absorption layers for the suggested QWIPs. The DBWQ structure is an adequate solution for photodetectors working in the mid-wavelength infrared (MWIR) region and broadens the responsivity spectrum [4]. In this study, InGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs double barrier quantum well infrared photodetectors (DB-QWIPs) are successfully fabricated and characterized. The heterostructures of the InGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs DB-QWIPs are grown by molecular beam epitaxy (MBE) system. Photoluminescence (PL) spectroscopy is used to examine the heterostructures of the InGaAs/GaAs/AlGaAs DB-QWIP. The mesa-type DB-QWIPs (Area : $2mm{\times}2mm$) are fabricated by conventional optical lithography and wet etching process and Ni/Ge/Au ohmic contacts were evaporated onto the top and bottom layers. The dark current are measured at different temperatures and the temperature and applied bias dependence of the intersubband photocurrents are studied by using Fourier transform infrared spectrometer (FTIR) system equipped with cryostat. The photovoltaic behavior of the DB-QWIPs can be observed up to 120 K due to the generated built-in electric field caused from the asymmetric heterostructures of the DB-QWIPs. The fabricated DB-QWIPs exhibit spectral photoresponses at wavelengths range from 3 to $7{\mu}m$. Grating structure formed on the window surface of the DB-QWIP will induce the enhancement of optical responses.
