For the low-Pt electrodes for polymer electrolyte fuel cells (PEMFCs), the optimization of ionomer content for anode catalyst layers was carried out. A commercial catalyst of 20 wt.% Pt/C was used instead of 50 wt.% Pt/C which is commonly used for PEMFCs. The ionomer content varies from 0.6 to 1.2 based on ionomer to carbon ratio (I/C) and the catalyst layer is formed over the electrolyte by the ultrasonic spray process. Evaluation of the prepared MEA in the unit cell showed that the optimal ionomer content of the air electrode was 0.8 on the I/C basis, while the hydrogen electrode was optimal at the relatively high ionomer content of 1.0. In addition, a large difference in cell performance was observed when the ionomer content of the hydrogen electrode was changed. Increasing the ionomer content from 0.6 to 1.0 by I/C in a hydrogen electrode with 0.05 mg/㎠ platinum loading resulted in more than double cell performance improvements on a 0.6 V. Through the analysis of various electrochemical properties in the single cell, it was assumed that the change in ionomer content of the hydrogen electrode affects the water flow between the hydrogen and air electrodes bounded by the membrane in the cell, which affects the overall performance of the cell. A more specific study will be carried out to understand the water flow mechanism in the future, and this study will show that the optimization process of hydrogen electrode can also be a very important cell design variable for the low-Pt and high-performance MEA.

In this study, Mg films were prepared on hot dip aluminized steel (HDA) by using a sputtering method as a high corrosion resistance coating. The corrosion resistance of the Mg films was improved by controlling the morphology and the crystal structure of films by adjusting the Ar gas pressure during the coating process. Anodic polarization measurement results confirm that the corrosion resistance of the Mg films was affected by surface morphology and crystal structure. The corrosion resistance of the Mg coated HDA specimen increased with decreasing crystal size of the Mg coating and it was also improved by forming a film with denser morphology. The crystal structure oriented at Mg(101) plane showed the best corrosion resistance among crystal planes of the Mg metals, which is attributed to its relatively low surface energy. Neutral salt spray test confirmed that corrosion resistance of HDA can be greatly improved by Mg coating, which is superior to that of HDG (hot dip galvanized steel). The reason for the improvement of the corrosion resistance of Mg films on hot dip aluminized steel was due to the barrier effect by the Mg corrosion products formed by the corrosion of the Mg coating layer.

In this study, the formation, microstructure, and wear properties of Colmonoy 88 (Ni-17W-15Cr-3B-4Si wt.%) + Stellite 1 (Co-32Cr-17W wt.%) coating layers fabricated by high-velocity oxygen fuel (HVOF) spraying are investigated. Colmonoy 88 and Stellite 1 powders were mixed at a ratio of 1:0 and 5:5 vol.%. HVOF sprayed self-fluxing composite coating layers were fabricated using the mixed powder feedstocks. The microstructures and wear properties of the composite coating layers are controlled via a high-frequency heat treatment. The two coating layers are composed of ${\gamma}-Ni$, $Ni_3B$, $W_2B$, and $Cr_{23}C_6$ phases. Co peaks are detected after the addition of Stellite 1 powder. Moreover, the WCrB2 hard phase is detected in all coating layers after the high-frequency heat treatment. Porosities were changed from 0.44% (Colmonoy 88) to 3.89% (Colmonoy 88 + ST#1) as the content of Stellite 1 powder increased. And porosity is denoted as 0.3% or less by inducing high-frequency heat treatment. The wear results confirm that the wear property significantly improves after the high-frequency heat treatment, because of the presence of well-controlled defects in the coating layers. The wear surfaces of the coated layers are observed and a wear mechanism for the Ni-based self-fluxing composite coating layers is proposed.

Chemical sensors have attracted much attention due to their various applications such as agriculture product, cosmetic and pharmaceutical components and clinical control. A conventional chemical and biological sensor is consists of fluorescent dye, optical light sources, and photodetector to quantify the extent of concentration. Such complicated system leads to rising cost and slow response time. Until now, the most contemporary thin film transistors (TFTs) are used in the field of flat panel display technology for switching device. Some papers have reported that an interesting alternative to flat panel display technology is chemical sensor technology. Recent advances in chemical detection study for using TFTs, benefits from overwhelming progress made in organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) electronic, have been studied alternative to current optical detection system. However numerous problems still remain especially the long-term stability and lack of reliability. On the other hand, the utilization of metal oxide transistor technology in chemical sensors is substantially promising owing to many advantages such as outstanding electrical performance, flexible device, and transparency. The top-gate structure transistor indicated long-term atmosphere stability and reliability because insulator layer is deposited on the top of semiconductor layer, as an effective mechanical and chemical protection. We report on the fabrication of InGaZnO TFTs with silver nanowire as the top gate electrode for the aim of chemical materials detection by monitoring change of electrical properties. We demonstrated that the improved sensitivity characteristics are related to the employment of a unique combination of nano materials. The silver nanowire top-gate InGaZnO TFTs used in this study features the following advantages: i) high sensitivity, ii) long-term stability in atmosphere and buffer solution iii) no necessary additional electrode and iv) simple fabrication process by spray.

Al-Fe-V-Si alloys reinforced with SiC particles were prepared by multi-layer spray deposition technique. Both microstructures and mechanical properties including hardness and tensile properties development during hot exposure process of Al-8.5Fe-1.3V-1.7Si, Al-8.5Fe-1.3V-1.7Si/15 vol% $SiC_P$ and Al-10.0Fe-1.3V-2Si/15 vol% $SiC_P$ were investigated. The experimental results showed that an amorphous interface of about 3 nm in thickness formed between SiC particles and the matrix. SiC particles injected silicon into the matrix; thus an elevated silicon concentration was found around $\alpha-Al_{12}(Fe,\;V)_3Si$ dispersoids, which subsequently inhibited the coarsening and decomposition of $\alpha-Al_{12}(Fe,\;V)_3Si$ dispersoids and enhanced the thermostability of the alloy matrix. Moreover, the thermostability of microstructure and mechanical properties of Al-10.0Fe-1.3V-2Si/15 vol% $SiC_P$ are of higher quality than those of Al-8.5Fe-1.3V-1.7Si/15 vol% $SiC_P$.

본 연구에서는 ALBC3 합금에 Ni기 자용성 합금으로 내마모성 및 내캐비테이션 특성을 향상시키기 위하여 용사코팅 후 열처리를 실시하여 캐비테이션 특성을 평가하였다. 본 연구 결과, 자용성 합금 코팅층이 높은 경도를 나타내어 내마모성이 우수할 것으로 판단되나, 다공질의 조직으로 인해 열악한 내캐비테이션 특성을 나타냈다. 따라서 열처리 조건의 최적화가 중요하며, 본 조건에서는 열처리 온도를 높여 자용성 합금 내 B와 Si의 유동성을 증가시킴으로써 기공이나 결함을 제거하여 특성개선 효과를 기대할 수 있을 것으로 판단된다.

P. pentosaceus CBT SL4균이 생산하는 항균물질 농축건조물은 H. pylori균에 대하여 평판 및 액상배양 조건에서 생육억제 활성이 확인되었고, 사막모래쥐를 사용한 감염실험에서는 감염방어 및 제균작용이, 보균자 인체실험에서는 제균작용이 확인되었다. 최근 3제 요법이나 신규 약물 등에 의하여 자각증세가 있는 위염증 환자에서의 제균율은 크게 향상되었으나, 국내의 경우에는 전체국민의 감염율이 매우 높은 것과 식습관 등의 요인에 의하여 단체 및 사회생활을 통한 신규감염이나 재감염을 방어할 효과적 수단은 없는 상태에 있다. 따라서, 일상적인 섭취가 가능하고, 병원균의 내성개발 우려나 인체에 대한 부작용이 없으며, H. pylori균에 대한 감염방어 및 제균작용을 동시에 지닌 유산균 및 그 항균활성물질을 이용한 식품소재는 국민전체의 H. pylori 감염율을 낮추고, 신규감염과 재감염의 악순환을 방지하기 위한 유용한 방어수단이 될 수 있을 것으로 판단된다. 한편, 유산균 배양액에 의한 H. pylori균에 대한 생육억제 현상은 모든 유산균에서 보편적인 현상은 아닌 것으로서 특정한 균주의 배양액에서만 관찰되고 있어 단순히 젖산 등 유기산에 의한 효과로 보기에는 어려움이 있으며 Gram 음성의 병원균들은 외막의 보호작용에 의하여 분자량이 큰 박테리오신 성분에 의해서는 생육이 억제되지 않는 것으로 판단되고 있다. 저자들은 당 균주가 생성하는 H. pylori 생육 억제 물질을 산성의 저분자 물질로 추정하고, 물질 및 작용기작 규명을 위하여 활성물질의 분리 및 구조분석 작업을 진행 중에 있으며, 이러한 연구가 완료되면 분리정제 물질을 활용한 추가적인 산업화 용도 개발이 가능할 것으로 기대하고 있다.
