ECR plasma CVD를 이용한 SiOF박막은 낮은 유전상수를 가지고 있으며, 기존의 공정과의 정합성이 우수해 다층배선 공정에 채용이 유망한 재료이지만 수분의 흡수로 인한 유전율의 상승과 후속공정의 안정성이 문제점으로 부각되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 SiOF박막의 내흡습성과 후속공정에서의 안정성을 향상시키기 위하여 SiOF박막을 증착한 후 후속 산소 플라즈마 처리를 행하였다. SiOF박막은 산소 플라즈마 처리를 수행함으로써 SiOF박막의 밀도가 증가하고, 수분과의 친화력이 강한 Si-F 결합이 감소하는 것이 주요한 원인으로 사료된다. 하지만 플라즈마 처리 시간이 5분 이상으로 증가하면 유전율의 증가가 일어난다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 산소 플라즈마 처리조건이 마이크로파 전력이 700W, 공정 압력이 3mTorr, 기판온도가 $300^{\circ}C$일 경우 플라즈마 처리시간은 3분이 적당한 것으로 생각 된다.

Recently, fine dust in atmosphere have been considerably issued as a harmful element for human. Nitrogen oxide ($NO_x$) exhausted from diesel engines and power plants has been disclosed as a main source of secondary production of fine dust. In order to prevent exhausting these nitrogenous compounds into atmosphere, a treatment system with selective catalytic reduction (SCR) catalyst with ammonia as a reductant has been used in various industries. Urea solution has been widely studied to supply ammonia into a SCR catalytic reactor, safely. However, the conversion of urea solution to ammonia has several challenges, especially on a slow conversion velocity. In the present study, a fast urea conversion system including a plasma burner was suggested and designed to evaluate the performances of urea conversion and initial operation time. A designed lab-scale facility has a plasma burner, urea nozzle, mixer, and SCR catalyst which is for hydrolysis of isocyane. Flow rate of methane that is a fuel of the plasma burner was varied to control temperatures in the urea conversion facility. From experimental results, it is found that urea can be converted into ammonia using high temperature condition of above $400^{\circ}C$. In the designed test facility, it is found that ammonia can be produced within 1 min from urea injection and the result shows prospect commercialization of proposed technology in the SCR facilities.

Chlorella has been reported to have certain beneficial physiological effects, including hypocholesterolemic, antihypertensive, antioxidative, and anti-tumor activities in animal and human studies. The aim of this study was to determine the anti-inflammatory activities of an 80% methanol extract(CE-Met), hexane fraction (CE-Hex), and ethyl acetate fraction (CE-EA) of Chlorella ellipsoidea in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 murine macrophage. Treatment with various concentrations of the C. ellipsoidea extract resulted m a significant, dose-dependent reduction in nitric oxide (NO) production by LPS-induced macrophages. The C. ellipsoidea extract significantly inhibited LPS-induced NO production accompanied by an attenuation of IL-6 and TNF-$\alpha$ formation in macrophages. These results suggest potent inhibit이y effects on the production of inflammatory mediators by a C. ellipsoidea extract. Thus, C. ellipsoidea extract may be a potent anti-inflammatory agent for troubled skin.

본 논문은 이산화탄소 고정 과정이 포함된 인공 광합성 과정을 모사하기 위하여 지구상에 흔히 존재하는 촉매 재료를 이용해 개발한 광화학 반응 시스템(인공나뭇잎)과 시스템 에너지 포집 및 변환 능력에 대한 성능을 조사하기 위한 기초 연구 결과를 제시한다. 본 연구에서 개발한 시스템은 태양광 전지의 전면부에 산화코발트를 도핑 하여 물의 전기분해로 인한 산소 발생이 태양전지 표면에서 직접 발생하도록 하였고, 후면 기판 표면에는 이산화탄소 변환 반응을 위한 효율적인 촉매로 $MoS_2$를 도핑 하여, 전선이 없는 구조로 구성하였다. 직접 태양광 연료 변환 시스템은 약4.5%로 이산화탄소를 일산화탄소와 수소로 변환하여 지속 가능한 연료(합성가스)의 형태로 생산하며, 이는 음극에서 촉매 변환 효율이 75%이상이 될 수 있음을 의미한다. 본 연구는 물의 광분해뿐만 아니라 태양광에 의해 유도된 이산화탄소 전환 과정을 하나의 시스템에서 동시에 실현하여 자연적 광합성 과정을 좀 더 성공적으로 모사할 수 있는 시스템 개발에 기여하였다.

Chronic kidney diseases are based on uncontrolled immunological and inflammatory responses to pathophysiological renal circumstances such as glomerulonephritis, which is caused by immunological mechanisms of glomerular inflammation with increased production of renal pro-inflammatory cytokines. Pentoxifylline (PTX) exhibits anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting cytokine and chemokine production through aggregation of erythrocytes and thrombocytes. We synthesized a series of 1,7-substituted methylxanthine derivatives by the Traube purine reaction, and the formation of purine ring was completed through nitrosation, a reduction of the nitroso to the amine by catalytic hydrogenation as derivatives of PTX. Then we studied biological activities such as renal anti-inflammatory effects of the synthesized compounds in the production of cytokines such as nitric oxide (NO), interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6, and tumor necrosis factor-α (TNF-α) and of chemokines such as monocyte chemoattractant protein-1 and IL-8 in Raw 264.7 and HK-2 cells. Renal antiinflammatory activities of this novel series of N-1 and N-7-substituted methylxanthine showed that the N-7 methyl-group-substituted analogs (S7b) showed selective 61% and 77% inhibition of the production of NO and IL-8. The other replacement of the N-1-(CH₂)₄COCH₃ roup, as in the case of compound S6c, also showed an effective 50% and 77% inhibition of TNF-α and IL-8 production in LPS-stimulated Raw 264.7 and HK-2 cells.

The use of nonsteroidal anti-inflammatory drugs (NSAIDs) is limited by their ability to induce gastrointestinal injury. It has been shown that nitric oxide (NO), similar to pro staglandins (PGs), appears to play an important role in gastric mucosal defence. We hypothesized that NSAIDs contained NO group would be less acutely toxic to the gastric mucosa, but would not interfere with their ability to suppress inflammatory process in rats. We have compared the ulcerogenic and anti-inflammatory effect of CW-501029 (NO-NSAIDs), CW-501027 (NSAIDs) and indomethacin. Both did not change mean blood pressure and heart rates, indicating that they had no side effect on cardiovascular system. We found that CW-501029 increased nitrite/nitrate levels without changing of blood pressure and heart rates. We suggest that it may help gastric mucosal blood flow, the which helps reducing the discomfort in astrointestinal system. Carrageenan-induced PGE2 increase was reduced in a similar tendency when compared CW-501027 or CW-501027 with control in back exudate of rats, but CW-501029 less reduced PGE2 than CW-502027 or indomethacin in gastric tissues. CW-501027 or CW-501029 reduced platelet aggregation. From these results we suggest that CW-501029 may improve the side effect by reduction of short-term gastric injury and less inhibition of PGs synthesis.

Single-well carbon nanotubes (SWNT) have been proposed as a promising candidate for various applications owing to their excellent properties. In particular, their fascinating electrical and mechanical properties could provide a new area for the development of advanced engineering materials. A transparent conductive thin film (TCF) has increased for applications such as liquid crystal displays, touch panels, and flexible displays. Indium tin oxide (ITO) thin films, which have been traditionally used as the TCFs, have a serious obstacle in TCFs applications. SWNTs are the most appropriate materials for conductive films for displays due to their excellent high mechanical strength and electrical conductivity. But, a bundle of CNTs has different electrical properties than their individual counterparts. In this work, the fabrication by the spraying process of transparent SWNT films and reduction of its sheet resistance on PET substrates is researched. Arc-discharge SWNTs were dispersed in deionized water by adding sodum dodecyl sulfate (SDS) as surfactant and sonicated, followed by the centrifugation. The dispersed SWNT was spray-coated on PET substrate and dried on a hotplate at $100^{\circ}C$. When the spray process was terminated, the TCF was immersed into deionized water to remove the surfactant and then it was dried on hotplate. The TCF film was then treated with ionic doping treatment, rinsed with deionized water and dried. The surface morphology of TCF was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy. The sheet resistance and optical transmission properties of the TCF were measured with a four-point probe method and a UV-visible spectrometry, respectively. Results, we show that 97 ${\Omega}$/> sheet resistance can be achieved with 81% transmittance at the wavelength of 550 nm. The changes in electrical and optical conductivity of SWNT film before and after ionic doping treatments were discussed.

The electrolytic reduction of spent oxide fuel involves the liberation of oxygen in a molten LiCl electrolyte, which is a chemically aggressive environment that is very corrosive for typical structural materials. So, it is essential to choose the optimum material for the process equipment handling molten salt. In this study, corrosion behavior of Haynes 263, 75, and Inconel X-750, 718 in molten salt of $LiCl-Li_{2}O$ under oxidation atmosphere was investigated at $650^{\circ}C\;for\;72\sim360$ hours. At $3\;wt\%\;of\;Li_{2}O$, Haynes 263 alloy showed the highest corrosion resistance among the examined alloys, and up to $8\;wt\%\;of\;Li_{2}O$, Haynes 75 exhibited the highest corrosion resistance. Corrosion products were formed $Li(Ni,Co)O_2,\;LiNiO_2\;and\;LiTiO_2\;and\;Cr_{2}O_3$ on Haynes 263, $Cr_{2}O_3,\;NiFe_{2}O_4,\;LiNiO_2,\;Li_{2}NiFe_{2}O_4,\;Li_{2}Ni_{8}O_10$ and Ni on Haynes 75, $Cr_{2}O_3,\;(Al,Nb,Ti)O_2,\;NiFe_{2}O_4,\;and\;Li_{2}NiFe_{2}O_4$ on Inconel X-750 and $Cr_{2}O_3,\;NiFe_{2}O_4\;and\;CrNbO_4$ on Inconel 718, respectively. Haynes 263 showed local corrosion behavior and Haynes 75, Inconel X-750, 718 showed uniform corrosion behavior.

The catalytic activities of nickel-based catalysts were estimated for oxidizing acetaldehyde of VOCs exhausted from industrial facilities. The catalysts were prepared by sol-gel methods of SiO2 and SiO2-TiO2 as a xerogel followed by impregnating Al2O3 powder with the nickel nitrate precursor. The crystalline structure and catalytic properties for the catalysts were investigated by use of BET surface area, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Xray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and temperature programmed reduction (TPR) techniques. These results show that nickel oxide is transformed to NiAl2O4 spinel structure at the calcination temperature of 400 °C in response to the steps with after- and co-impregnation of Al2O3 powder in sol-gel process. The NiAl2O4 could suppress the oxidation reaction of acetaldehyde by catalysts. The NiO is better dispersed on SiO2-TiO2/Al2O3 support than SiO2/Al2O3 and SiO2-TiO2-Al2O3 supports. From the testing results of catalytic activities for oxidation of acetaldehyde, Catalysts showed a big difference in conversion efficiencies with the way of the preparation of catalysts and the loading weight of nickel. The catalyst of 8 wt.% Ni/TiO2-SiO2/Al2O3 showed the best conversion efficiency on acetaldehyde oxidation with 100% conversion efficiency at 350 °C.
