sothemal reduction at $50^{\circ}C$ using $Pt/MoO_3$ or $Pt/MoO_3/SiO_2$ made by dry impregnation or physical mixture of $Pt^{\circ}$ and $MoO_3$ demonstrated that the $H_2$ uptake vis $H_2$ spillover from Pt into $MoO_3$ was enhanced as calcination temperature was increased. Surface area of exposed Pt crystallites measured by CO chemisorption was decreased with higher calcination temperature. In addition, TEM showed that $MoO_x$ overlayers were formed on Pt crystallites after calcination at $400^{\circ}C$. Consequentially, it was found that this increased active contact sites between Pt and $MoO_3$ due to surface morphological change was one of the dominant factors for this increased $H_2$uptake via $H_2$ spillover from Pt crystallites into $MoO_3$.

The NR films were prepared with mixing of natural rubber latex(NRL) with various additives, and NR/CR films were prepared by blend ratio of chloroprene rubber latex(CRL). The swelling degree and the mechanical properties of these films were measured according to the procure time. As a result, optimum condition were showed the swelling degree : 80~85%, precure time : 48~60hrs., and tensile strength was reduced but elongation was increased as increasing the blend ratio of CRL. On the mechanical properties of films prepared by different dipping process in these optimum condition, the tensile strength and tear strength of NR/CR films by one dipping process are better than NR-d-CR films by two dipping process. The surface of these films were observed with scanning electron microscopy(SEM). It was found that phase separation was occured as increasing the blend ratio of CRL.

The presently commercialized lithium-ion batteries use layer structured LiCoO₂ cathodes. Because of the high cost and toxicity of cobalt, an intensive search for new cathode materials has been underway in recent years. Recently, a concept of a one-to-one solid state mixture of LiNO₂ and LiMnO₂, i.e., Li[Ni/sub 0.5/Mn/sub 0.5/]O₂, was adopted by Ohzuku and Makimura to overcome the disadvantage of LiNiO₂ and LiMnO₂. Li[Ni/sub 0.5/Mn/sub 0.5/]O₂ has the -NaFeO₂ structure, which is characteristic of the layered LiCoO₂ and LiNiO₂ structures and shows excellent cycleability with no indication of spinel formation during electrochemical cycling. Layered Li[Ni/sub x/Co/sub 1-2x/Mn/sub x/]O₂ (x = 0.5 and 0.475) materials with high homogeneity and crystallinity were synthesized using a mechanical alloying method. The Li[Ni/sub 0.475/Co/sub 0.05/Mn/sub 0.475/]O₂ electrode delivers a high discharge capacity of 187 mAh/g between 2.8 and 4.6 V at a high current density of 0.3 mA/㎠(30 mA/g) with excellent cycleability. The charge/discharge and differential capacity vs. voltage studies of the Li[Ni/sub x/Co/sub 1-2x/Mn/sub x/]O₂ (x = 0.5 and 0.475) materials showed only one redox peak up to 50 cycles, which indicates that structural phase transitions are not occurred during electrochemical cycling. The magnitude of the diffusion coefficients of lithium ions for Li[Ni/sub x/Co/sub 1-2x/Mn/sub x/]O₂(x = 0.5 and 0.475) are around 10/sup -9/ ㎠/s measured by the galvanostatic intermittent titration technique (GITT).

The surface of glass fiber bundle was modified with functionalized silanes and phenolic resin to improve the tensile strength as well as the adhesion of glass fiber to matrix phenolic resin. The surface modification of reinforcing glass fiber can play a significant role in controlling whole composite characteristics. We applied surface modification of glass fiber with two different functionalized silanes, such as glycidyltrimethoxysilane(G-silane) and aminopropyltriethoxysilane (A-silane), and phenol formaldehyde(PF) resin in one pot or separated process under different coating compositions and temperatures. Thermal treatment temperature is very important factor to improve the mechanical properties of modified glass fiber. Modified glass fiber bundle treated at $170^{\circ}C$ showed the highest tensile strength of $10.05g_f/D$. Surface analyses by scanning electron microscope(SEM) and FT-IR spectroscopy were used to characterize the surface coatings on glass fiber bundles. Mechanical property changes as functions of treatment conditions and coupling agent types were also explained.

단일벽 탄소나노튜브(SWNT)는 뛰어난 물리적 성질과 화학적 안정성을 가지고 있어서 다양한 분야의 응용이 기대되어 폭넓은 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 특히 SWNT의 전기적 및 기계적 특성들은 SWNT의 직경 및 뒤틀림도(chirality)에 의해 크게 좌우되기 때문에, 합성하는 단계에서 직경 또는 chirality를 제어에 관한 많은 이론적 연구가 진행되어 왔으며, 최근에는 초기 SWNT의 핵생성 단계에서의 촉매의 거동 및 상호 연관성 등에 관한 실험적인 연구결과들이 속속 보고되고 있는 실정이다. 하지만, 아직도 이에 관한 더욱 다양하고 활발한 연구 접근 및 결과들이 필요한 시점이다. 상기 배경을 바탕으로 본 연구에서는 균일한 직경을 갖는 SWNT의 합성을 위한 기초연구로서 SWNT의 직경과 촉매나노입자의 크기의 상호 연관성에 대해 체계적으로 조사하였다. 우선 SWNT합성을 위한 촉매나노입자를 얻기 위해 페리틴(ferritin)용액의 농도 및 스핀코팅 조건을 변화시킴으로써 기판 위에 분산농도를 제어한 후, 대기 열처리를 통하여 촉매나노입자의 농도를 제어하였다. 나노입자의 평균직경은 4 nm 정도로 비교적 균일하였으며, 고농도의 촉매입자는 SWNT의 다발화(bundling)를 유발하였다. 따라서, SWNT와 나노입자 직경의 상호연관성을 조사하기 위해서는 단분산(monodispersed) 된 나노입자를 이용하였으며, 아르곤 분위기에서 추가적으로 고온($900^{\circ}C$) 열처리를 실시함으로써 나노입자의 크기감소를 도모하였다. 실험결과, 열처리 시간의 증가에 따라 입자크기가 감소함을 확인하였으며, 이는 나노입자의 증발에 의한 것으로 예상된다. 다음으로는 열처리를 통하여 직경이 제어된 나노입자를 이용하여 SWNT를 합성한 후 SWNT와 촉매크기 사이의 크기 관계를 조사하였다. SWNT의 합성은 메탄을 원료가스로 열화학증기증착법을 이용하였고, 합성기판으로는 산화실리콘웨이퍼와 퀄츠기판을 이용하였다. 성장한 SWNT의 직경은 AFM을 이용하여 측정하였으며, 퀄츠기판에 수평배향 성장시킨 SWNT를 3차원 구조의 기판으로 전사(transfer)하여, 라만분석이 용이하도록 하였다.

적외선 검출소자(Infrared Photodetector)는 근적외선에서 원적외선 영역에 이르는 광범위한 파장 범위의 적외선을 이용하는 기기로서 대상물이 방사하는 적외선 영역의 에너지를 흡수하여 이를 영상화할 수 있는 장비이다. 적외선 관련 기술은 2차 세계대전 기간에 태동하였으며, 현재에는 원거리 감지기술 등과 접목되면서 그 활용 분야가 다양해지고 있다. 특히 능동형 정밀 타격무기를 비롯한 감시 정찰 장비 및 지능형 전투 장비 시스템 등에 대한 요구를 바탕으로 보다 정밀하고 신속한 표적 감지 및 정보처리 기술에 관한 연구가 선진국을 통해서 활발히 진행되고 있다. 기존의 Bolometer 형식의 열 감지 소자는 반응 속도가 느리고 측정 감도가 낮은 단점이 있으며, MCT(HgCdTe)를 이용한 적외선 검출기의 경우 높은 기계적 결함과 77K 저온에서 동작해야하기 때문에 발생하는 추가 비용 등이 문제점으로 지적되고 있다[1]. 이에 반해 화합물 반도체 자기조립 양자점(self-assembled quantum dot)을 이용한 적외선 수광소자는 양자점이 가지는 불연속적인 내부 에너지 준위로 인하여, 높은 내부 양자 효율과 온도 안정성을 기대할 수 있으며, 고성능, 고속처리, 저소비전력 및 저소음의 실현이 가능하다. 본 연구에서는 적층 InAs/InGaAs dot-in-a-well 구조를 유기금속화학기상증착법을 이용하여 성장하고 이를 소자에 응용하였다. 균일한 적층 양자점의 성장을 위해서 원자현미경(atomic force microscopy)을 이용하여, 각 층의 양자점의 크기와 밀도를 관찰하였고, photoluminescence (PL)를 이용하여 발광특성을 연구하였다. 각 층간의 GaAs space layer의 두께와 온도 조절 과정을 조절함으로써 균일한 적층 양자점 구조를 얻을 수 있었다. 이를 이용하여 양자점의 전도대 내부의 에너지 준위간 천이(intersubband transition)를 이용하는 n-type GaAs/intrinsic InAs 양자점/n-type GaAs 구조의 양자점 적외선수광소자 구조를 성장하였다. 이 과정에서 상부 n-type GaAs의 성장 온도가 600도 이상이 되는 경우 발광효율이 급격히 감소하고, 암전류가 크게 증가하는 것을 관찰하였다. 이는 InAs 양자점과 주변 GaAs 간의 열에 의한 상호 확산에 의하여 양자점의 전자 구속 효과를 저해하는 것으로 설명된다.

Indoor air quality underground facilities are not equipped for the removal of volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and they are usually treated by diffusion methods such as ventilation. In this study, an adsorption filter was prepared using various coating methods such as carbon nano fiber (CNF) and dip coating. As a result, the adsorption performance was improved by 2 to 20 times or more compared to that of using the metal foam support. This is maybe due to the enhancement of pore distribution which was confirmed by SEM. In addition, the adsorption performance was 13.95 mg/g by adding lignin, and also an average adsorption performance of 13.25 mg/g was maintained after washing indicating that a highly durable adsorption filter material was prepared. It can be suggested that the developed adsorption filter material can be a potential solution that can fundamentally control VOCs, not via the concentration reduction of mechanical ventilation in underground facilities.

Background : Many inflammatory mediators and collagenases are involved in the pathogenesis of acute lung injury (ALI) and acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS). The increase of matrix metalloproteinase-9 (MMP-9, gelatinase-B) produced mainly by inflammatory cells was reported in many ALI models and connective tissue cells. In this study, the expression of MMP-9 in ventilator-induced lung injury (VILI) model and the effects of matrix metalloproteinase inhibitor (MMPI) on VILI were investigated. Methods : Eighteen Sprague-Dawley rats were divided into three groups: low tidal Volume (LVT, 7mL/Kg tidal volume, 3 $cmH_2O$ PEEP, 40/min), high tidal volume (HVT, 30mL/Kg tidal volume, no PEEP, 40/min) and high tidal volume with MMPI (HVT+MMPI) groups. Mechanical ventilation was performed in room air for 2 hours. The 20 mg/Kg of CMT-3 (chemically modified tetracycline-3, 6-demethyl 6-deoxy 4-dedimethylamino tetracycline) was gavaged as MMPI from three days before mechanical ventilation. The degree of lung injury was measured with wet-to-dry weight ratio and acute lung injury score. Expression of MMP-9 was studied by immunohistochemical stain with a mouse monoclonal anti-rat MMP-9 $IgG_1$. Results : In the LVT, HVT and HVT+MMPI groups, the wet-to-dry weight ratio was $4.70{\pm}0.14$, $6.82{\pm}1.28$ and $4.92{\pm}0.98$, respectively. In the HVT group, the ratio was significantly higher than other groups (p<0.05). Acute lung injury score measured by five-point scale was $3.25{\pm}1.17$, $12.83{\pm}1.17$ and $4.67{\pm}0.52$, respectively. The HVT group was significantly damaged by VILI and MMPI protects injuries by mechanical ventilation (p<0.05). Expression of MMP-9 measured by four-point scale was $3.33{\pm}2.07$, $12.17{\pm}2.79$ and $3.60{\pm}1.95$, respectively, which were significantly higher in the HVT group (p<0.05). Conclusion : VILI increases significantly the expression of MMP-9 and MMPI prevents lung injury induced by mechanical ventilation through the inhibition of MMP-9.

In recent years, researches on organic-inorganic coating films have conducted a nanocomposite system composed of organic resin matrices having excellent flexibility and chemical stability and inorganic materials having excellent mechanical properties. The o-phenylphenoxyethyl acrylate (OPPEA) used as the acrylate monomer has a high refractive index of 1.58, and the bisphenol A ethoxylate diacrylate (BAEDA) has a low refractive index but improves the chemical stability of the organic resin. In addition, zirconia used as an inorganic material exhibits excellent durability and optical properties. In this study, the BAEDA contents in acrylate monomer were controlled to produce a film with suitable optical transparency. And optimum conditions were established by comparing the changes in surface properties of PET films detected with pencil hardness tester, Abbe's refractometer, and UV-vis spectrophotometer. The hydrophobicity and the dispersibility of zirconia in acrylate monomer were much improved after modification with ${\gamma}$-methacryloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPS), which is a silane coupling agent. And the existence of ester C=O bond peak at $1716cm^{-1}$ introduced by MPS through FT-IR ATR spectrophotometer confirmed the completion of surface modification of zirconia with MPS. In addition, the presence of silicon atom on the surface modified zirconia was also proved using X-ray fluorescence spectrometer. When the photocurable hybrid coating was prepared by introducing chemically modified zirconia into acrylate monomer, the refractive index of this coated PET film was improved by 1.2%, compared to the only acrylate coated PET film. The homogeneous distribution of zirconia in acrylate coating layer on PET film was also identified through SEM/EDS mapping analysis technique.
