In this study, we prepared nanofiltration membrane by applying the interfacial polymerization method as a way of manufacturing composite membranes. We have examined the effects of various preparation factors such as monomer concentration and composition, thermal curing condition, post treatment condition. In addition to preparation conditions, we also monitored the effects of operation conditions such as feed solution concentration and operation pressure on the permeation properties of the resulting nanofiltration membrane. We intended to increase the permeation rate of nanofiltration membrane by the enlargement of effective surface area using additives during interfacial polymerization step. With increasing the monomer concentration, membrane permeation rate are decreased with maintaining almost constant rejection. With respect to curing condition, with increasing the curing temperature both permeation rate and rejection are decreased. With increasing the ratio of MPD in amino monomer composition, permeation rate decreased drastically with high rejection. With increasing the feed solution concentration, both permeation rate and rejection decreased. Both permeation rates and rejection increased with increasing the operating pressure. Nanofiltration membrane have higher surface roughness with increasing additive concentration in the case of using MPD contained amine composition than using piperazine alone. Permeation rates are much lower than the nanofiltration membrane prepared by piperazine.

This study was carried out to separate immunoglobulin G(IgG) from colostrum using reverse micellar extraction of cationic surfactant and to suggest suitable extraction conditions. The reconstituted colostrum powder was solubilized into a reverse micellar phase containing CDAB(cetyldimethylethyl ammonium bromide) by mixing equal volume of the aqueous and organic phase with constant stirring. The solubilization of proteins from the aqueous to the organic phase was manipulated by pH and ionic strength of the aqueous phase and concentration of surfactant in the organic phase. Based on the SDS-PAGE and densitometry, about more than 90% of initial IgG was remained in the aqueous phase after reverse micellar extraction. Although the aqueous phase contained lactoferrin and bovine serum albumin as minor components, about 93% of the total protein was IgG. The efficient extraction was achieved by the reaction of sodium phosphate buffer(pH 8) containing 50 mM KCl and organic phase containing 100 mM CDAB. The separation of IgG using reverse micellar extraction was simple, highly efficient and easy to be scaled up.

The geological CO2 sequestration in underground geological formation such as deep saline aquifers and depleted hydrocarbon reservoirs is one of the most promising options for reducing the atmospheric CO2 emissions. The process in geological CO2 sequestration involves injection of supercritical CO2 (scCO2) into porous media saturated with pore water and initiates CO2 flooding with immiscible displacement. The CO2 migration and distribution, and, consequently, the displacement efficiency is governed by the interaction of fluids. Especially, the viscous force and capillary force are controlled by geological formation conditions and injection conditions. This study aimed to estimate the effects of surfactant on interfacial tension between the immiscible fluids, scCO2 and porewater, under high pressure and high temperature conditions by using a pair of proxy fluids under standard conditions through pendant drop method. It also aimed to observe migration and distribution patterns of the immiscible fluids and estimate the effects of surfactant concentrations on the displacement efficiency of scCO2. Micromodel experiments were conducted by applying n-hexane and deionized water as proxy fluids for scCO2 and porewater. In order to quantitatively analyze the immiscible displacement phenomena by n-hexane injection in pore network, the images of migration and distribution pattern of the two fluids are acquired through a imaging system. The experimental results revealed that the addition of surfactants sharply reduces the interfacial tension between hexane and deionized water at low concentrations and approaches a constant value as the concentration increases. Also it was found that, by directly affecting the flow path of the flooding fluid at the pore scale in the porous medium, the surfactant showed the identical effect on the displacement efficiency of n-hexane at equilibrium state. The experimental observation results could provide important fundamental information on immiscible displacement of fluids in porous media and suggest the potential to improve the displacement efficiency of scCO2 by using surfactants.

This study tried to find a suitable method for enhancing the foam stability of cationic surfactants that normally generate less foam or no foam. Several trials were made to enhance the foam stability: addition of anionic surfactant, colloids and polymer. Cationic starch (CA-ST) did not form foam at all, while the foam stability of two other cationic surfactant also showed low levels; methyl triethanol ammonium methyl sulfate distearyl ester (CEQ90) for 46 sec. and Cetyl trimethyl ammonium chloride (CM29) for 31 seconds. Foam stability of cationic surfactants were significantly affected by addition of anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Foam stability of CA-ST was significantly enhanced by addition of SDS, while those of CEQ90 and CM29 were decreased. Addition of colloids ($SiO_2$, kaolin) and polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) enhanced foam stabilities of CEQ90 and CM29. However, CA-ST did not form foam even in the presence of colloids or PVA. Effect of simultaneous addition of colloids and anionic surfactant on foam stability of cationic surfactant showed that foam stability of cationic surfactant was more influenced by addition of anionic surfactant than colloids. Effect of simultaneous addition of PVA and anionic surfactant on the foam stability of cationic surfactant also showed that presence of anionic surfactant significantly affect the foam stability of cationic surfactant. Foam stability of CA-ST was greatly increased to 8,780 seconds by addition of SDS 0.14% and PVA 2.5%. The foam stability of CA-ST was 8 times higher than CEQ 90. This study suggested that cationic surfactants not forming foam can generate foam by addition of anionic surfactant and its stability can be additionally increased by addition of colloids and PVA. The study results showed that enhancement in foam stability of cationic surfactant was prominently affected by the concentration of anionic surfactant added.

PEMFC의 전기화학적 반응은 촉매, 이오노머, 기공이 만나는 삼상계면에서만 일어나므로, 전극 구조의 최적화가 성능 향상 및 장기안정성 확보에 있어 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 전극 미세구조를 실시간으로 분석하기 위해 임피던스 복소캐패시턴스법을 도입하고자 하였다. 즉, PEMFC의 양극에 질소를 공급하면 0.4 V 부근에서 전기이중층 형성 반응만이 일어나는 것을 확인하였으며, 이때 음극에는 수소를 공급하여 기준전극 및 반대전극으로 사용하였다. 측정된 임피던스를 복소캐패시턴스로 변환하고 허수부를 주파수에 대해 도시하면 피크 형태의 곡선이 얻어지는데, (1) 피크 면적은 전극/전해질의 계면면적, (2) 피크 위치는 이오노머 네트워크에 의한 수소이온 전도 특성, (3) 피크 폭은 다공성 구조의 균일도를 각각 나타내므로, 피팅 없이 직접적인 해석이 가능하다는 장점을 가진다. 반면, 기존의 Nyquist 도시법은 피팅에 의한 분석이 필요하며, 전극층의 불균일한 구조로 인해 단순한 등가회로 구성이 어려운 문제점을 가진다. 최종적으로, MEA 제작 조건 및 운전 조건을 변수로 하여 임피던스를 측정하고 복소캐패시턴스 분석을 수행하여, 퇴화 경로를 규명하고 운전 조건을 최적화하고자 하였다.

최근 차세대 평판 디스플레이의 응용에 많은 주목을 받고 있는 AMOLED의 경우 전류구동 방식이기 때문에 a-Si TFT 보다는 LTPS-TFT가 요구되며, 대면적 기판에서의 결정립 크기의 균일도가 매우 중요한 인자이다. 비정질 실리콘 박막 상부 혹은 하부에 도전층을 개재하고, 상기도전층에 전계를 인가하여 그것의 주울 가열에 의해 발생한 고열에 의해 비정질 실리콘 박막을 급속 고온 고상 결정화하는 방법에 관한 기술인 JIC (Joule-heating Induced Crystallization) 결정화 공정은 기판 전체를 한번에 결정화 하는 방법이다. JIC 결정화 공정에 의하여 제조된 JIC poly-Si은 결정립 크기의 균일성이 우수하며 상온에서 수 micro-second내에 결정화를 수행하는 것이 가능하고 공정적인 측면에서도 별도의 열처리 Chamber가 필요하지 않는 장점을 가지고 있다. 그러나 고온 고속 열처리 방법인 JIC 결정화 공정을 수행 하면 Arc에 의하여 시편이 파괴되는 현상이 발견되었다. 본 연구에서는 Arc현상의 원인을 파악하기 위해 전압 인가 조건 및 시편 구조 조건을 변수로 결정화실험을 진행하였다. ARC가 발생하는 Si층과 Electrode 계면을 식각 분리하여 Electrode와 Si층 사이의 계면이 형성되지 않는 조건에서 전계를 인가하는 실험을 통하여 JIC 결정화 공정 중 고온에 도달하게 되면, a-Si층이 변형되어 형성된 poly-Si층이 전도성을 띄게 되고 인가된 전압이 도전층과 Poly-Si 사이에 위치한 $SiO_2$의 절연파괴(Dielectric breakdown)전압보다 높을 경우 전압 인가 방향에 수직으로 $SiO_2$가 절연 파괴되며 면저항 형태의 전도층의 단락이 진행되며 전도층이 완전히 단락되는 순간 Arc가 발생한다는 것을 관찰 할 수 있었다. 본 실험의 연구 결과를 바탕으로 Arc 발생을 방지하는 다양한 구조의 Equi-Potential 방법이 개발되었다.

After atmospheric pressure plasma treatment of polypropylene(PP) film surface, we measured the contact angle of the surface by using polar solvent (water) and non-polar solvent (diiodomethane). We also calculated the surface free energy of PP film by using the measured values of contact angles. And then we analyzed contact angle and surface free energy with changing the condition of atmospheric pressure plasma treatment. Upon each condition of atmospheric plasma treatment, contact angle and surface free energy showed an optimum value or leveled off.

The brittle nature in most FRP composites is accompanying other forms of energy absorption mechanisms such as fibre-matrix interface debonding and ply delamination. It could play an important role on the energy absorption capability of composite structures. To solve the brittle nature, the adhesion between pines and composites was studied. Thermal treated pines were attached on carbon fiber reinforced polymer (CFRP) by epoxy adhesives. To find the optimum condition of thermal treatment for pine, two different thermal treatments at 160 and $200^{\circ}C$ were compared to the neat case. To evaluate mechanical and interfacial properties of pines and pine/CFRP composites, tensile, lap shear and Izod test were carried out. The bonding force of pine grains was measured by tensile test at transverse direction and the elastic wave from fracture of pines was analyzed. The mechanical, interfacial properties and bonding force at $160^{\circ}C$ treated pine were highest due to the reinforced effect of pine. However, excessive thermal treatment resulted in the degradation of hemicellulose and leads to the deterioration in mechanical and interfacial properties.

A basic study of the effect of the SDS on the behavior of the anionic surfact in electrophoresis was performed. Having been interacted with SDS micelle, long chain carboxylates and sulfonates which have more than 10 carbons have been suffered larger changes in their apparent mobilities. Based on the result of the comparison among apparent, electroosmotic and electrophoretic mobilities, it is demonstrated that the major cause for the variation of the apparent mobilities of the anions is the variation of the electrophoretic mobilities.
