We have investigated thin film morphology of pentacene thin films by the process of low-pressure gas assisted organic vapor deposition (LP-GAOVD). Source temperature, inert gas flow rate, substrate temperature and deposition pressure during film deposition is used to vary the growth rate, thin film morphology and the crystalline grain size of pentacene thin films. The electrical properties of pentacene thin films for applications in organic thin film transistor and electrophoretic displays will be discussed.

Hydrogen gas has attracted considerable attention as a promising candidate for future energy resources because of its eco-friendly characteristics; however, its highly combustible characteristics should be thoroughly examined to preclude potential disasters. In this regard, a highly sensitive method for the selective detection of H₂ is extremely important. To achieve excellent H₂ selectivity, the utilization of a metal-organic framework (MOF) membrane can physically screen interfering gas molecules by restricting the size of kinetic diameters that can penetrate its nanopores. This paper summarizes the various endeavors of researchers to utilize the MOF molecular sieving layer for the development of highly selective H₂ sensors. Further, the review affords useful insights into the development of highly reliable H₂ sensors.

Background: Various types of semi-volatile organic compounds (SVOCs) exist in the public's living environment. They occur in different forms in terms of their physical and chemical properties and partition coefficients. As a consequence, indoor exposure to SVOCs occurs via various routes, including inhalation of air and airborne particles, skin contact, and dust intake. Objectives: To propose a method for assessing human exposure to the SVOCs occurring in the air of an indoor environment, the concentrations of SVOCs in house dust and organic films measured in a real residential environment were estimated in terms of gas-phase concentration using the partition coefficient. Assessment of inhalation exposure to SVOCs was performed using this method. Methods: Phthalates were collected from samples of house dust and organic films from 110 households in a real residential environment. To perform an exposures assessment of the phthalates present in organic films, gas-phase concentration was calculated using the partition coefficient. The airborne gas-phase concentrations of phthalates from the house dust and organic films were estimated and exposure assessment was performed based on the assumption of inhalation exposure from air. Results: As a result of the exposure assessment for gas-phase phthalates from house dust and organic films, preschool children showed the highest level of inhalation of phthalates, followed by school children, adults, and adolescents. Conclusions: This study includes the limitation of not considering different SVOCs exposure pathways in the health impact assessment, including those of phthalates in the indoor living environment. However, this study has the significance of performing exposure assessment based on exposure to SVOCs present in indoor air that originated from organic films in the indoor residential environment. Therefore, the results of this study should be useful as basic data for exposure and health risk assessments of SVOCs associated with organic films in the indoor environment.

This study is to investigate the heating value and noxious gases generation such as CO, NO and $SO_2$ known as dangerous gas for human from specimen made of cement and lightweight aggregate. The most quanity of CO gas is generated in EPS(Expanded Poly Styrene), core of commercial sandwich panel. Although specimens mainly composed of cement discharged the relatively less CO gas than organic core such as EPS, specimens which SBR was added discharged the very much amount of CO gas similar to EPS and especially, specimens including foaming agent, gas foaming agent or redipersible powder of VA/VeoVa showed the good properties in the generation of CO gas. From the standpoint of the generation of NO and $SO_2$ gas, both the core of commercial sandwich panel such as EPS, Glass wool and specimens made with polymer dispersion such as St/BA and SBR discharge the very much amount of NO and $SO_2$ gas in comparison of the other specimens. From this study, it was confirmed that organic materials such as core of commercial sandwich panel dischared much more noxious gas than specimens composed of cement and inorganic lightweight aggregate.

Basic studies on natural gas hydrates in the East Sea were been carried out by the Korea Institute of Geoscience and Mineral Resources (KIGAM) from 2000 to 2004 involving 2D multichannel seismic lines and piston coring. 27 piston cores recovered from the deed-water Ulleung Basin of the East Sea were analyzed in this study. In piston cores cracks generally developed parallel to bedding suggest significant gas content. The core analyses showed high total organic carbon (TOC) content, sedimentation rate and heat flow of sediments. The cores recovered from the southern study area show also high residual hydrocarbon gas concentrations for the formation of natural gas hydrates. This study indicates that there is the potential for the generation of biogenic gas and the formation of natural gas hydrates in the near seafloor sediments of the study area.

To study biogeochemical characteristics and origin organic matter, sediment samples were taken from Site of 1249C and Stie 1251B of ODP Leg 204. Data of Rock-Eval, isotope, and element analysis generally indicate dominance of marine organic matter in sediments deposited under marine sedimentary environment. Only Rock-Eval data are somewhat different from those of others owing to under-maturation of organic matter. Samples of Site 1249C show high content of gas hydrate, whereas Site 1251B low content of gas hydrate in some intervals of the core. This result may be accounted to different location of two cores and presence of transportation passage (Horizon A, BSR 2) of thermogenic gas in the core, 1249 C. However, Site 1251B Located in the basin of low accumulation of gas hydrate is presumed to be limited in the gas hydrate production. Because not only transportation passage is limited to move thermogenic gas from the core, but also gas supply was not enough. Therefore, the biogenic gas that resulted from diagenesis of there sediment is superior.

Metal-organic frameworks (MOFs) are porous materials with nano-sized pores. The degree of gas adsorption and pore size can be controlled according to types of metal ions and organic ligands. Many studies have been conducted on MOFs in the fields of gas storage and separation, and gas sensors. For rapid and quantitative gas adsorption/desorption analyses, it is necessary to form various MOF structures in uniform films on a sensor surface. In this review, some of representative direct methods for uniformly synthesizing MOFs such as MIL-53 (Al), ZIF-8, and Cu-BDC from anodized aluminum oxide, zinc oxide nanorods, and copper thin films, respectively on the surface of a microresonator are highlighted. In addition, the operation principle of quartz crystal microbalance and microcantilever, which are representative microresonators, and the interpretation of signals that change when gas is adsorbed to MOFs are covered. This is intended to enhance the understanding of gas adsorption/desorption analysis of MOFs using microresonators.

In this study, the optimum condition of pH was investigated on the hydrogen gas production under anaerobic fermentation process. The results of the experiment showed that the optimum condition was observed at pH 6, resulting in 1175.87 mL/L of hydrogen gas production rate and 22.51% theoretical hydrogen conversion ratio. Hydrogen gas production rate and theoretical hydrogen conversion ratio were 901.77 mL/L and 17.48 % respectively at pH 5. At pH 7 and 8, the production rate of hydrogen gas was little low as 82.15 mL/L. Among the organic acids from the sucrose fermentation, propionate was observed as the dominant acid at pH 7 and 8 but butyrate was the dominant at pH 5 and 6.

We deposited stearic acid LB films by using Langmuir-Blodgett (LB)method and investigated anisotropy electrical conduction characteristics by I-V measurement for horizontal direction and vertical direction. Also, we measured gad response between deposited LB films and organic gas for various temperature(0~8$0^{\circ}C$) by 9MHz At-cut quartz crystal microbalance. The LB films have electrical conduction characteristics such as semiconducting and insulating properties. The is, the conductivity of LB films for the horizontal and vertical direction is about 10\ulcornerS/cm and 10\ulcorners/cm, respectively. the frequency shift of stearic acid LB films for the organic gases depended on the mass change by the surface adsorption and the inner penetration to the sensing films. The resonant frequency shift of the quartz crystal microbalance for temperature properties of LB films is thought to the effect of the rearrangement or the damage pf LB films above the melting point and the mobility increasement of the organic gas by the temperature rising.

This study investigated the transformation of dissolved organic matter (DOM) in a free-water surface flow constructed wetland. Pyrolysis gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (Py-GC/MS) coupled with preparative high-performance liquid chromatography (prep-HPLC) was used to analyze the compositions of biopolymers (polysaccharides, amino sugars, proteins, polyhydroxy aromatics, lipids and lignin) in DOM according to the molecular size at three sampling points of the water flow: inflow, midflow, and outflow. The prep-HPLC results verified the decomposition of DOM through the decrease in the number of peaks from three to one in the chromatograms of the sampling points. The Py-GC/MS results for the degradable peaks indicated that biopolymers relating to polysaccharides and proteins gradually biodegraded with the water flow. On the other hand, the recalcitrant organic fraction (the remaining peak) in the outflow showed a relatively high concentration of aromatic compounds. Therefore, the ecological processes in the constructed wetland caused DOM to become more aromatic and homogeneous. This indicated that the constructed wetland can be an effective buffer area for releasing biochemically stable DOM, which has less influence on biological water quality indicators, e.g., biochemical oxygen demand, into an aquatic ecosystem.
