The effect of the supercritical carbon dioxide (sc$CO_2$) on ion-conductive behaviors for polyether electrolytes based on, both poly (ethylene oxide) (PEO) and poly [oligo (oxyethylene glycol) methacrylate] (PMEO) with lithium triflate, LiCF$_3$SO$_3$, has been investigated. In particular, the present research is a new concept for improving the ionic conductivity of polyether electrolytes. The maximum ionic conductivity ($\sigma$$_{max}$) at room temperature of the PEO electrolyte was more than 100 times higher, and the $\sigma$$_{max}$ at 9$0^{\circ}C$ of the PMEO electrolyte was 30 times improved by the se$CO_2$ treatment, respectively. It was revealed that the penetration of $CO_2$ molecules into the polymer matrix causes the increase of carrier ions by ion-dispersion effect and the decrease of glass transition temperature (T$_{g}$) by plasticizing effect that results in the improvement of the ion transport behaviors.viors.

This paper presents a method about amorphous obstacles avoidance for local path planning in the two-dimensional sensor environment. In particular, the proposed method is extended from some of the recent studies about a point obstacle avoidance. In the paper, repulsive forces of two types are proposed in order that the robot avoids from the amorphous obstacle with various size and form. A judgment of curvatures in the proposed method simplifies the recognition of obstacles to make the path-planning efficient. In addition, the line of sight(LOS) and the range of recognition are considered in the environment. By simulation results, the proposed method for amorphous obstacle avoidance shows better performance than the related existing method and we confirmed advantages of proposed method.

Low molecular weight endo-glucanase was partially purified from cellulase complex using Sephadex G-100 gel chromatography. Biochemical properties of the purified component was investigated. Optimum pH and temperature determined were 6.0 and 5$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. Enzymatic hydrolysis of four cellulosic substrates having varying crystallinity was evaluated. It was found that hydrolysis of amorphous region was followed by the hydrolysis of crystalline region. In order to examine the effect of adsorption of the enzyme onto the cellulosic substrates on the hydrolysis kinetics, adsorption studies were carried out. Time course of adsorption of low molecular weight endo-glucanase onto various cellulostances was observed for 25 min. The rate and amount of adsorption to amorphous cellulose was greater than those to the crystalline cellulose. This result suggested that the role of endo-glucanasc was more important to the hydrolysis of amorphous cellulose than to the crystalline region of the cellulose.

Photocatalytic properties of nitrogen doped titanium dioxide were investigated. Photocatalytic degradation of methylene blue under UV and visible light was carried out to characterize N-doped $TiO_2$. The result of XPS indicated that nitrogen atoms substitute for oxygen sites within the crystal structure of $TiO_2$. In the UV-Vis DRS spectra, N-doped amorphous $TiO_2$ absorbed UV light with little absorption of visible light, while the absorption of visible light of amorphous/anatase $TiO_2$ remarkably increased. Methylene blue photocatalytic degradation appeared by the irradiation of UV or visible light onto the N-doped anatase phase of $TiO_2$. However, the degradation rate of visible light was lower than that of UV light. The photocatalytic degradation rate of the amorphous/anatase $TiO_2$ sample was higher than that of the anatase $TiO_2$. These results indicate that the high surface area of amorphous/anatase $TiO_2$ sample, which was about three times larger than those of the anatase $TiO_2$ sample, may be related to small particles of N-doped anatase $TiO_2$.

This study deals with formlessness designs that indicate a variety of related shapes between the human body and clothes depending on the 2D shape of fabric rather than a cubic and clear shape of fabric proportional to the human body. There have been formlessness fashion designs since the 1980s; however, there has been no attempts to define the concept of formlessness fashion designs. This study focuses on how formlessness clothing was named for clothes with no specific shape due to recognizing the body as a flat surface as referred in various prior studies and how a formlessness design is expressed. This study reviews formlessness designs from the viewpoint of eastern concepts as well as from the viewpoint of ancient Greek clothes to understand how eastern and western designers approached formlessness designs. We also simultaneously utilize a literature research and a case study of actual work. The scope of the research focuses on the case of female clothing starting from the 1980s when the formlessness trend first appeared.

Syntheses and property analysis of hydropolysilanes were studied. Those hydropolysilanes can be utilized as precursors for amorphous silicon and polycrystallline silicon for the purpose of the solar cell and the thin film transister for the next generation's semiconductors. Most important characteristics of this study are to find optimized conditions for the synthesis and property analysis of soluble hydropolysilanes. Also the possibility of pyrolytic conversion to amorphous and polycrystalline silicon was investigated.

This study investigated the crystallization behaviour of sealing amorphous material heat-treated by conventional and microwave heating source. From X-ray diffraction and SEM analyses, it was shown that microwave heat-treated sample had well-grown $PbTiO_3$crystals and the high degree of crystallinity inspite of its heat-treated condition of shorten time and lower temperature as compared with a conventionally heat-treated sample. It was assumed that microwaves inhibit the nucleation of $PbTiO_3$crystal in nucleation stage, but promote the growth of $PbTiO_3$crystal above the critical size of crystal due to enhanced diffusion effect within the sample.

Autoadhesion strength of PS/PS Interfaces in solvent welding was determined as a function of processing conditions by butt joint test. It was verified that the chain mobility and surface roughness at PS/PS interface were enhanced by the applied solvent having a similar solubility parameter as PS and resulted in the dramatic improvement of autoadhesion strength at PS/PS interface. It was found that the mechanism of solvent welding is dependent upon the chain mobility due to the diffusion of solvent to PS interface and the contact area at interface. When the welding temperature is lower than the boiling point of applied solvent, the effect of chain mobility on autoadhesion strength was dominated, while contact area took more important role when welding temperature is above the boiling point of solvent. Autoadhesion strength increased with increasing contact time and contact temperature but :he effect of solvent on autoadhesion strength became smaller.

Material and electrochemical characteristics of petroleum coke of the nongraphitic carbon prepated with attrition milling for 6~48 hours and heat-treatment at $700^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour was investigated. The milling condition affects the particle size distribution, BET specific surface area and interlayer distance of petroleum cokes. Carbon electrode with petroleum cokes prepared at the milling time of 12~24 hours and having average particle size of $6{\sim}8{\mu}m$ showed best electrochemical characteristics form the investigation of cyclic voltammogram and charge-discharge characteristics.
