LDH(Layered double hydroxide) 물질을 제조하고 이를 이용하여 비소를 흡착시키는 실험을 수행하였다. TEM을 이용하여 제조한 LDH 물질의 형상을 살펴본 결과 열처리를 거친 시료는 나노크기의 결정화된 구조를 가지고 있고 열처리를 거치지 않은 시료는 아직 결정화가 완전히 이루어지지 않았으며 크기도 마이크로 범위에서 나타났다. X선 회절분석 결과를 보면 이 같은 결과가 뚜렷이 나타났으며, 열처리를 거친 경우는 뚜렷한 결정화를 보이고 있었다. $N_2$ 흡착 및 탈착 결과를 통해 LDH가 mesoporous한 공극 형태를 가지고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 비표면적은 열처리를 거친 시료가 열처리를 거치지 않은 시료보다 2배 이상 크게 나타났다. 흡착 등온 실험 결과에서도 두 시료는 비슷한 흡착량을 보이며 기존 철산화 물에 못지않은 흡착능을 나타내고 있다. 금번에 합성한 Mg Fe-LDH 물질을 이용하여 토양 및 지하수의 비소 제거 공정에 적용할 수 있음을 확인하였다.

최근 증가하는 폐플라스틱의 재활용 방법으로 저온 열분해 기술이 연구되고 있다. 폐플라스틱 저온 열분해 기술은 에너지 자원으로 활용할 수 있는 열분해유를 생산하지만, 고체의 잔류물이 발생한다. 폐플라스틱 열분해 잔류물은 활용 범위가 낮아 대부분 매립 처리하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 혼합 폐플라스틱 열분해 잔류물를 활성탄으로 재활용하기 위한 연구를 수행하였다. 혼합 폐플라스틱 열분해 잔류물의 화학적 활성화를 통해 활성탄을 제조하고, 그 특성에 대해 조사하였다. 공업분석을 통해 잔류물의 고정탄소량이 33.69 %인 것으로 확인하였다. 활성탄 제조에는 화학적 활성화를 활용하였으며. 활성화제로 KOH를 사용하였다. KOH와 잔류물의 혼합비율의 영향을 조사하기 위해 0.5, 1.0, 2.0의 비율로 시료를 혼합하였다. 혼합한 시료는 활성화 온도는 800 ℃에서 1시간 동안 화학적 활성화를 진행하였다. BET를 통한 활성탄 특성 분석 결과 KOH의 혼합비율이 증가할수록 비표면적이 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

This study selected Eco-AZ91 MgH₂, which shows high enthalpy as a material for this purpose, as the basic material, and analyzed the change in characteristics by synthesizing TiNi as a catalyst to control the thermodynamic behavior of MgH₂. In addition, the catalyst dispersion technology using graphene oxide (GO) was studied to improve the high-temperature aggregation phenomenon of Ni catalyst and to secure a source technology that can properly disperse the catalyst. XRD, SEM, and BET analysis were conducted to analyze the metallurgical properties of the material, and TGA and DSC analysis were conducted to analyze the dehydrogenation temperature and calorific value, and the correlation between MgH₂, TiNi catalyst, and GO reforming catalyst was analyzed. As a result, the MgH₂-5 wt% TiNi at GO composite could lower the dehydrogenation temperature to 478-492 K due to the reduction of the catalyst aggregation phenomenon and the increase in the reaction specific surface area, and an experimental result for the catalyst dispersion technology by GO could be ensured.

Gastrointestinal cancer (GC) is a prevalent malignant tumor of the digestive system that poses a severe health risk to humans. Due to the specific organ structure of the gastrointestinal system, both endoscopic and MRI diagnoses of GIC have limited sensitivity. The primary factors influencing curative efficacy in GIC patients are drug inefficacy and high recurrence rates in surgical and pharmacological therapy. Due to its unique optical features, good biocompatibility, surface effects, and small size effects, nanotechnology is a developing and advanced area of study for the detection and treatment of cancer. Because of its deep location and complex surgery, diagnosing and treating gastrointestinal cancer is very difficult. The early diagnosis and urgent treatment of gastrointestinal illness are enabled by nanotechnology. As diagnostic and therapeutic tools, nanoparticles directly target tumor cells, allowing their detection and removal. XGBoost was used as a classification method known for achieving numerous winning solutions in data analysis competitions, to capture nonlinear relations among many input variables and outcomes using the boosting approach to machine learning. The research sample included 300 GC patients, comprising 190 males (72.2% of the sample) and 110 women (27.8%). Using convolutional neural networks (CNN) and artificial neural networks (ANN)-EXtreme Gradient Boosting (XGBoost), the patients mean± SD age was 50.42 ± 13.06. High-risk behaviors (P = 0.070), age at diagnosis (P = 0.037), distant metastasis (P = 0.004), and tumor stage (P = 0.015) were shown to have a statistically significant link with GC patient survival. AUC was 0.92, sensitivity was 81.5%, specificity was 90.5%, and accuracy was 84.7 when analyzing stomach picture.

Cellulose is an abundant biodegradable material in nature with excellent properties, but due to its poor processability, it has been widely studied for processing through modification. Cellulose acetate propionate (CAP) is a cellulose derivative in which the hydroxyl group of cellulose is replaced by acetyl and propionyl groups. CAP has several advantages, such as excellent solubility, structural stability, light and weather resistance, and good transparency. Porous nanofibers with excellent specific surface area, which can be applied in various fields, can be easily formed by the phase separation method using highly volatile solvents. High speed centrifugal spinning is a nano/micro fiber preparation method with advantages such as fast spinning and easy alignment control. In this study, a CAP/polybutylene succinate (PBS) spinning solution with chloroform as solvent was prepared to prepare porous microfibers and the fiber morphology was examined as a function of the disk rotation speed in an high speed centrifugal spinning device.

In this study, we demonstrated a silica nanofibrous membrane based on the electrospinning process and evaluated its DNA isolation and purification performance in PCR pretreatment. Generally, silica membranes made of non-woven fabric are used for PCR pretreatment, but this study aimed to improve the efficiency of the pretreatment process by developing a nanofiber-type silica membrane with high specific surface area and porosity. In order to manufacture a nanofiber-shaped silica film while maintaining the original physical properties of silica, nanofiber membranes produced by adding various concentrations of PEO (5 wt%, 8 wt%, and 10 wt%) to silica prepared by the sol-gel method were compared. In terms of nanofiber membrane production, the higher the PEO concentration, the more effective it was in producing nanofiber membranes. The produced silica nanofiber membrane was inserted to a pretreatment device used in commercial PCR equipment, and the pretreatment performance was compared and verified using Salmonella bacteria. When Salmonella was used, samples containing 5 wt% PEO showed superior PCR efficiency compared to samples containing 8 wt% and 10 wt% PEO. These results show that adding 5 wt% of PEO can effectively improve DNA purification and separation by producing a nanofiber-shaped silica film while maintaining the physical properties of silica. We expect that this study will contribute to the development of effective PCR pretreatment technology essential for various molecular biology applications.

크롬 기반 금속유기골격체(MIL-101(Cr))를 제조하고 이들을 활용한 유사화학작용제 diisopropyl methyl phosphonate(DIMP) 흡착 실험을 통해 방독면 정화통이나 보호의 충진물질로서 활용 가능성을 평가하였다. MIL-101(Cr)은 조절인자로 아세트산(MIL-101(Cr)-A)과 수산화나트륨(MIL-101(Cr)-N)을 활용하여 각각 제작하였는데, 아세트산을 조절인자로 사용하였을 때 보다 넓은 비표면적과 높은 DIMP 흡착량을 보였다. MIL-101(Cr)-A는 상대습도 90% 환경에서 10일 동안 노출 시 흡착제 무게 대비 약 160%의 수분을 흡수하여 활성탄 등 다른 흡착제와 비교할 때 흡수율이 높았다. MIL-101(Cr)-A를 상대습도 90% 환경에서 일정기간 노출한 시료에 대한 DIMP 흡착량 실험 결과 24시간 이후에는 노출되지 않았을 때 흡착량의 약 40% 수준으로 감소하였으나, 이 흡착량은 상용 방독면 정화통 충진 활성탄과 비교하였을 때 여전히 높은 흡착량으로 추후 방독면 정화통이나 보호의 충진물질로서 활용가능성이 높은 것으로 판단된다.

초고강도 콘크리트의 강도와 유동성 확보를 위해 실리카흄(SF)를 사용하는 전통적인 방식에서 벗어나 산화 그래핀 나노플레이트릿(Oxidized graphene nanoplatelet, GO)와 유공유리분말( Hollow glass powder, HGP)를 사용한 초고강도 콘크리트를 개발하였고 본 연구에서는 자기수축 특성에 대해 검토하였다. 그 결과 SF를 사용한 Ref 배합보다 SF를 사용하지 않고 cGO(C사의 GO)와 HGP를 사용한 NewMix 배합의 자기수축이 13% 정도 감소하였다. NewMix의 자기수축에 의한 균열발생은 Ref 보다 1일 정도 지연되었고 균열발생 시의 인장응력은 가장 높았다. cGO의 높은 비표면적과 우수한 분산성으로 콘크리트 내의 공극들이 충전 되어 자기수축이 감소하고 cGO에 의한 균열저항 성능이 증가하여 초고강도 콘크리트의 자기수축 균열 제어에 효과가 있을 것으로 판단된다.

This study investigated the effects of revolution speed and ball size in planetary milling on the microstructure and dehydrogenation behavior of TiH₂ powder. The particle size analysis showed that the large particles present in the raw powder were effectively refined as the revolution speed increased, and when milled at 500 rpm, the median particle size was 1.47 ㎛. Milling with a mixture of balls of two or three sizes was more effective in refining the raw powder than milling with balls of a single size. A mixture of 3 mm and 5 mm diameter balls was the optimal condition for particle refinement, and the measured median particle size was 0.71 ㎛. The dependence of particle size on revolution speed and ball size was explained by changes in input energy and the number of contact points of the balls. In the milled powder, the endothermic peak measured using differential thermal analysis was observed at a relatively low temperature. This finding was interpreted as the activation of a dehydrogenation reaction, mainly due to the increase in the specific surface area and the concentration of lattice defects.

In this study, rare-earth orthoferrites LnFeO₃ were synthesized using a facile hydrothermal reaction and their visible-light-induced photo-Fenton degradation of organics was optimized through Ln variation (Ln = La, Pr, or Gd). The morphological, structural, and chemical characteristics of as-prepared samples were examined in detail by using different methods, including XRD, SEM, TEM, XPS, etc. On the other side, under visible light illumination, the photo-Fenton-like catalytic activities of LnFeO₃ were assessed in terms of the removal of selected organic models, i.e., pharmaceuticals (ketoprofen and tetracycline) and dyes (rhodamine B and methyl orange). As compared with PrFeO₃ or GdFeO₃, the sample of LaFeO₃ displayed more structural distortion, larger specific surface area, and narrower band gap, resulting in its higher photo-Fenton-like catalytic activity toward the degradation of organics. In organic-containing solution, in which the initial solution pH = 5, catalyst dosage = 1 g/L and H₂O₂ concentration = 10 mM, 98.2% of rhodamine B, 31.1% of methyl orange, 67.7% of ketoprofen, or 96.4% of tetracycline was removed after 90-min exposure to simulated visible light. Our findings revealed that variation of Ln site on rare-earth orthoferrites was an effective strategy for optimizing their organic removal via visible-light-induced photo-Fenton reaction.
