In cardiopulmonary support systems with a membrane oxygenation such as a percutaneous cardiopulmonary support (PCPS) or an extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO), blood pumps need to generate the pressure rise of approximately 200mmHg or higher, due to the high hydraulic resistances of the membrane oxygenation and of the cannula tubing. In order to realize the blood pump with higher pressure rise, higher anti-hemolysis and thrombosis performances, the development of novel centrifugal blood pump composed of two-stage has been conducted by the authors. In the present paper, effective attempts to decrease the wall shear stress and to suppress the stagnation are introduced for the prevention of hemolysis and thrombosis in blood pumps. The hemolysis test was also carried out and it was clarified that the decrease of wall shear stress is effective as a guideline of design of blood pumps for improving the anti-hemolysis performance.

The transport of reactant gas, electrons and protons at the three phase interfaces in the catalytic layers of membrane electrode assemblies (MEAs) in proton exchange, membrane fuel cells (PEMFCs) must be optimized to provide efficient transport to and from the electrochemical reactions in the solid polymer electrolyte. The aim of reducing proton transport loss in the catalytic layer by increasing the volume of the conducting medium can be achieved by filling the voids in the layer with small-sized electrolytes, such as dendrimers. Generation 1.5 and 3.5 polyamidoamine (PAMAM) dendrimer electrolytes are well-controlled, nanometer-sized materials with many peripheral ionic exchange, -COOH groups and were used for this purpose in this study. The electrochemically active surface area of the deposited catalyst material was also investigated using cyclic voltammetry, and by analyzing the Pt-H oxidation peak. The performances of the fuel cells with added PAMAM dendrimers were found to be comparable to that of a fuel cell using MEA, although the Pt utilization was reduced by the adsorption of the dendrimers to the catalytic layer.

The diamide-diamine having carboxylic acid was prepared by direct condensation of 1,2,4-benzenetricarboxylic acid with bits[4- (3-aminophenoxy ) phenyl] sulfone and bits(4-aminouhenyl)-1,4- diisopropylbenzene in medium consisting of triphenylphosphite, LiCl, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone. Copoly (amide-imide) derivatives with high molecular weight could be synthesized by one-step polycondensation of prepared diamide-diamine having carboxylic acid and various dianhydride compounds. Depending on the chemical structure and composition of polymer backbones, the viscosities of polymers were found to range between 0.87∼ 1.57 dL/B. All the polymers showed good thermal stability up to 320$\^{C}$ and the 10% weight loss temperature was observed in the range of 450∼540$\^{C}$ in a thermogravimetric traces. The glass transition was recorded in the temperature range of 200 ∼ 270$\^{C}$. All the polymers showed an amorphous nature on a differential scanning calorimetric thermograms. These polymers generally had good mechanical properties and readily soluble in various polar solvents. Further, it was proved that their properties could be determined from the composition.

We report in this study the synthesis of mixed matrix reverse osmosis membranes by interfacial polymerization (IP) of thin film nanocomposite (TFNC) on porous polysulfone supports (PS). This paper investigates the synthesis of ZnO nanoparticles (NPs) using the sol-gel processing technique and evaluates the performance of mixed matrix membranes reached by these aerogel NPs. Aqueous m-phenyl diamine (MPD) and organic trimesoyl chloride (TMC)-NPs mixture solutions were used in the IP process. The reaction of MPD and TMC at the interface of PS substrates resulted in the formation of the thin film composite (TFC). NPs of ZnO with a size of about 25 nm were used for the fabrication of the TFNC membranes. These membranes were characterized and evaluated in comparison with neat TFC ones. Their performances were evaluated based on the water permeability and salt rejection. Experimental results indicated that the NPs improved membrane performance under optimal concentration of NPs. By changing the content of the filler, better hydrophilicity was obtained; the contact angle was decreased from $74^{\circ}$ to $32^{\circ}$. Also, the permeate water flux was increased from 26 to 49 L/m2.h when the content of NPs is 0.1 (wt.%) with the maintaining of lower salt passage of 1%.

본 연구에서는 비대칭 polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF)막을 기질막으로 하여 Pore-filled 이온교환막을 제조하였다. 먼저 다공성 PVDF막의 기공에 80%의 chloromethylate aryl ring을 가지고 있는 poly(vinylbenzyl chloride) (PVBCI)과 1,4- diaminobicyclo［2,2,2］octane (DABCO)을 tetrahydrofuran (THF)와 dimethylforamide (DMF)가 8:2로 혼합된 용액에 녹여서 채워 넣고 겔화시킨 후, 남아 있는 chloromethyl group에 trirnethylamine (TMA, 40 wt% in water)을 이용하여 양이온 암모니움 site를 형성시키면 pore-filled 음이온교환막이 형성된다. 이와 같이 2단계의 제조 방식으로 제조된 pore-filled 막은 크기의 변화가 없으며, 가교도의 조절로써 최종 막의 특성이 간단하게 조절되는 것을 보여주었다. SEM과 AFM의 표면촬영의 결과로부터 기질막의 기공 내에 고분자겔의 존재를 확인하였다. 투과도와 배제율에 많은 영향을 미치는 용매를 조사한 결과 tetrahydrofuran (THF)만을 사용하여 제조한 막보다 THF와 DMF를 함께 사용할 때 더 우수한 막이 제조되었다. 제조된 최종 막의 수투과도 조사결과, 가교도 10% 막의 경우 아주 낮은 압력에서(100 Kpa) 전형적인 한외여과막의 투과도(8∼10 kg/$m^2$hr)를 보여주었으며 배제율 또한 우수한 결과(55∼60%)를 보여주었다. 압력에 대한 pore-filled 이온교환막의 성능을 관찰한 결과 압력이 증가할수록 투과도와 배제율은 함께 증가하였다.

Submerged Membrane bioreactor (SMBR) is one of the last techniques that allow a high quality of treated industrial effluents by coupling biological treatment and membrane separation. Thus, this research was an effort to evaluate performance of a SMBR treating a model textile wastewater (MTWW). Different SMBR operating parameters like mixed liquor suspended solids (MLSS) and Dissolved oxygen concentration, hydraulic retention time (HRT), and nutrients addition (N and P) have been investigated. MTWW (influent to the SMBR) was generated using the reactive azo-dye, Novacron blue FNG (100mg/L feed concentration). Results of MTWW treatment using SMBR under optimal operating conditions (MLSS, 4.2-13.3g/L; HRT, 4 days; pH, 6.9-7.2; conductivity, 400-900 μS/cm and temperature, 19.4-22.2 ℃) showed that COD and blue colour treatment performances are between 94-98% and 30-80%, respectively. It is concluded that SMBR can be used in large scale textile wastewater treatment plants to improve effluent quality in order to meet effluent discharge standards.

Organic-inorganic hybrid sol-gel matrices were used as hosts for chloro (5, 10, 15, 20-tetraphenylporphyrinato) cobalt (III) (Co[TPP]Cl), a known ionophore for nitrite. The sol-gel precursor was prepared by the reaction of (3-isocyanopropyl) triethoxysilane with 1,4-butanediol. An appropriate amount of the anion-exchanger, tridodecylmethylammonium chloride (TDMAC) and the plasticizer, tributylphosphate (DBP) were used as membrane additives. On mixing with an acidic catalyst, the sol-state precursors slowly gelled, yielding a membrane in which the active components, Co[TPP]Cl and TDMAC, were encapsulated. The performances of the sol-gel membrane-based electrodes were compared to those of Co[TPP]Cl-based poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC) membrane electrodes. Membranes with a molar ratio of Co[TPP]Cl: TDMAC (1 : 0.1) showed reasonable response slopes toward nitrite. The response slopes were typically 53 mV/decade between $10^{-5.4}$ and $10^{-1.0}\;M$. Selectivities toward nitrite over hydrophilic and small anions such as chloride were somewhat inferior to those observed with PVC-based membranes, but selectivities over lipophilic anions were quite similar. Reduced asymmetry potentials due to protein adsorption were found to occur with the sol-gel matrix relative to PVC-based films when the sensors were employed as a detector in flow-through configuration.

인류의 에너지 수급은 항상 인간의 삶에 중요한 문제이며, 최근에는 전기 생산 및 공급 문제로 이어지고 있다. 이에 관련하여 본 연구에서는 에너지 저장장치의 일환으로 슈퍼커패시터 용도의 고체 전해질막을 제조하였다. 제조한 전해질막은 poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) 주사슬에 poly(oxyethylene methacrylate) (POEM) 곁사슬을 그래프팅하여 사용하였으며, 그래프팅은 자유 라디칼 중합법을 통해 합성하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 PVA-g-POEM 가지형 공중합체를 슈퍼커패시터 전해질에 적용한 사례는 처음이다. POEM 그래프팅을 통해 PVA가 고유하게 가지고 있던 구조가 변화하였으며, 이를 FT-IR을 통해 분석하였다. 또한, 합성한 공중합체를 이용한 슈퍼커패시터 성능은 cyclic voltammetry (CV), galvanostatic charge/discharge(GCD), ragone plot 등을 통해 분석하였다. 이를 통해 기존에 수계 전해질로 PVA 단일 고분자만 사용하던 분야에 그래프팅 방법이라는 새로운 접근법을 제시하였다.
