2-Aminoethanethiol (aet) has been used to make self-assembled monolayer (SAMs) on gold electrodes, which are subsequently modified with 3,4-dihydroxy phenylalanine (dpa). Such modified electrodes having various types of Au/aet-dpa were employed in the electrocatalytic oxidation of NADH. The purpose of this study to characterize the responses of such modified electrodes in terms of the immobilization procedure, pH of the solution and applied potential. The reaction of the surface immobilized dpa with NADH was studied using the rotating disk electrode technique and a value of $2.2{\times}10^4M^{-1}s^{-1}$ was obtained for the second-order rate constant in 0.1 M Tris/$NO_3^-$buffer (pH=8.0). The hydration behavior of the films was characterized by quartz crystal microbalance. When used as a NADH sensor, the Au/aet-dpa electrode exhibited good sensitivity and an excellent correlation (r ${\geq}$ 0.99) for NADH concentration which extended to $3.8{\times}10^{-3}$ M.

진공미량저울을 써서 벤젠과 그 유도체들의 흑연화카아본블랙, Spheron6 위에서의 흡착등온 곡선을 얻었다. 이로부터 각 흡착질의 Spheron6 위에서의 분자단면적을 계산했다. 이 값들을 비교하여 흡착질이 Spheron6 표면에 흡착될 때, 벤젠고리는 흡착체 표면에 평행으로 되며 흡착질 분자는 이 평면 상에서 제한된 각도로 회전하고 있음을 밝혔다.

Composite membranes were prepared by the deposition of pentafluoropyridine(PFP) or pentafluorotoluene(PFT) plasma films onto porous Celgard and nonporous poly(dimethylsiloxane) [PDMS] films. Gas permeation measurements for the composite membranes were made in the temperature range of 35$^{\circ}$C to 75 $^{\circ}$C and the solubilities in plasma polymers were measured using a Cahn Microbalance. The permeability coefficients of plasma polymers obeyed the Arrhenius relationship fairly wall. Activation energies for permeation in the plasma films increased with the size of penetrant molecules. The activation energy of plasma polymers was much lower than that of commonly used perfluoropolymers. This difference was proved to be attributable to the much lower heat of solutions of the plasma polymers compared to perfluoropolymers. The diffusion activation energies were comparable with each other.

A diaphorase enzyme electrode for the catalytic reduction of NAD+ , the oxidized form of nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide, has been prepared. The enzyme layer grew spontaneously over an aminoethanethiol self assembled monolayer on a go ld plate electrode. The growth was accomplished by simply dipping the electrode covered by the aminoethanethiol monolayer into a solution containing both glutaraldehyde and diaphorase. We suggested that the glutaraldehyde as a cross-linking reagent was attached to the amino groups of the aminoethanethiol monolayer and the diaphorase enzyme molecules were bound to free aldehyde groups of the glutaraldehyde. Further attachments of the enzyme molecules over the bound enzyme molecules continued with the bridging of the glutaraldehyde. In frequency measurements with a quartz crystal microbalance, the frequency decrease was much more than it was for that of the enzyme monolayer formation, and an enzyme layer thicker than a monolayer was formed. The modified electrode was employed to reduce NAD+ , using diffusional methyl viologen as an electron transfer mediator. The NAD+ was electrocatalytically reduced, and the catalytic current was almost equivalent to that with the multilayered electrode of ten enzyme layers.

The frequency response on the tip-sample distance in scanning electrochemical microscopy (SECM) that is combined with an electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) is described. The oscillation frequency of the EQCM increases rapidly when the SECM tip is very close to the substrate electrode surface. This frequency increase is reproducible regardless of the current feedback in SECM, which is attributed to the stress caused by the tip pressing the quartz crystal. It is useful to calibrate the tip-sample distance with respect to the frequency change when a combined system of SECM and EQCM (SECM-EQCM) is used. This method could be applied to several cases such as rigid metal electrode and non-conducting or partially conducting polymer coating prepared on the quartz crystal regardless of the feedback current.

The World Health Organization provides guidelines for managing the particulate matter (PM) level because a higher PM level represents a threat to human health. To manage the PM level, a procedure for measuring the PM value is first needed. We use a PM sensor that collects the PM level by laser-based light scattering (LLS) method because it is more cost effective than a beta attenuation monitor-based sensor or tapered element oscillating microbalance-based sensor. However, an LLS-based sensor has a higher probability of malfunctioning than the higher cost sensors. In this paper, we regard the overall malfunctioning, including strange value collection or missing collection data as anomalies, and we aim to detect anomalies for the maintenance of PM measuring sensors. We propose a novel architecture for solving the above aim that we call the hypothesis pruning generative adversarial network (HP-GAN). Through comparative experiments, we achieve AUROC and AUPRC values of 0.948 and 0.967, respectively, in the detection of anomalies in LLS-based PM measuring sensors. We conclude that our HP-GAN is a cutting-edge model for anomaly detection.

The self-assembled formation of octadecanethiol (CH3(CH2)17SH) on a gold substrate was studied using a quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) and a scanning tunneling microscope (STM). From the QCM measurements at vario us concentrations of octadecanethiol solutions in hexane and alcohol, the adsorption process of octadecanethiol onto Au was confirmed to consist of two steps as follows: (i) fast but disordered adsorption and (ii) a thermodynamically controlled rearrangement for uniform packing of octadecanethiol. Also, it was revealed that the adsorption rate became faster in ethanol than in hexane since less solubility of octadecanethiol in ethanol could help the formation of the monolayers. At 5 ${\times}$10-7 M solution, the monolayer formation was monitored by STM. The morphology of monolayer region was initially circular (diameter size: 7.26 $\pm$ 2.1 nm) and gradually changed to a stripe type after several minutes. At higher concentration, the self-assembled monolayer was formed immediately after the solution was introduced to a substrate.

An accurate method of density measurement is proposed. The method makes use of a gravimetric adsorption apparatus and is quite suitable for powdery and porous solid samples. The sample volume is determined by measuring its buoyancy with microbalance and the mass is measured in vacuum in the absence of buoyancy effect. Densities of inorganic compounds, such as alumina and perovskite, and some organic compounds are determined with the proposed method, and the results are compared with the values either determined with conventional methods or obtained from literatures.

본 연구에서는 에틸렌 옥사이드가 부가된 3 종류의 아민 옥사이드 양쪽성 계면활성제에 대하여 임계 마이셀 농도, 표면장력, 계면장력, 접촉각, 점도, 기포 안정성 등을 측정하였다. 또한 계면활성제 수용액에 대한 제타전위 측정과 QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) 실험을 통하여 양쪽성 계면활성제가 양이온 계면활성제에서 비이온 계면활성제로 작용이 전환되는 등전점을 결정하였다. 제타전위 측정을 통하여 결정한 양쪽성 계면활성제의 등전점은 QCM 실험을 통하여 결정한 등전점 결과가 거의 일치하였으며, 표면 마찰 시험기를 사용하여 측정한 유연력 측정 결과와도 일치하는 경향을 나타내었다. 본 연구에서 사용한 3종류 계면활성제 모두, pH가 중성인 조건에서 섬유 유연 효과가 큰 것을 확인하였는데, 이러한 결과는 등전점 보다 낮은 산성 혹은 중성 조건에서 양이온 계면활성제로 작용함으로써 세탁 후 린스 과정에서 유연제로서 효과적으로 작용할 수 있음을 의미한다.

나노압입시험기의 힘교정과 압입자에 대한 3차원 형상 관찰 및 분석이 본 연구에서 진행되었다. 표준분동으로 교정한 마이크로밸런스로 나노압입시험기에서 발생시킨 하중을 측정하여 측정치와 발생치의 비로 압입하중을 교정하였고, 나노압입시험의 시작점인 초기 접촉 하중도 확인할 수 있었다. 삼각뿔 압입자를 원자현미경으로 관찰하여 분석한 결과 비교적 사용이력이 없는 압입자 A와 마모된 압입자 B의 첨단곡률반경은 각각 $19.71{\pm}3.03$ nm와 $1043.94{\pm}50.91$ nm로 결정되었다. 완벽한 삼각뿔 압입자 형상과 중첩하여 압입자 A와 B의 첨단무딘깊이(bluntness depth)를 1.22 nm와 64.56 nm로 결정하였고, 용해실리카 기준시편에 수행한 나노압입시험 결과를 살펴본 결과 두 압입자의 압입하중-변위곡선들이 무딘깊이 차이만큼 수평축으로 서로 어긋나 있음을 확인할 수 있었다. 수평 이동을 통해 보정된 압입곡선의 분석을 통해 개별 압입자 면적함수에 대한 고려없이 1.11 % 이내에서 동일한 용해실리카의 나노경도를 결정할 수 있었다.
