The corrosion inhibitive nature of a flavonoid compound, 3-Hydroxy-7-methoxy-2-phenylchromen-4-one (HMPC), the synergistic effect between HMPC and n-Tetrabutylammonium bromide (TBAB) and their adsorption behavior on mild steel in hydrochloric acid solution were studied by weight loss, potentiodynamic polarization and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The results of weight loss study at different temperatures revealed that the inhibition efficiency increases with inhibitor concentration and decreases with increase in the temperature of the system. The electrochemical studies showed that the inhibitor acts through mixed mode of inhibition and the inhibitor molecules adsorb on the metal - solution interface forming a protective layer. The adsorption of the inhibitor molecules over the metal surface was supported by the obeyed Langmuir's adsorption isotherm, Scanning Electron Microscopic analysis (SEM) and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopic studies.

The absorption characteristics of persimmon powder related to different drying methods and various storage temperatures was investigated. The physical properties of persimmon powder by different drying methods displayed the largest amount of porosity in the freeze-dried sample, and the smallest in hot air dried sample. Equilibrium moisture was reached in 6 days. Monolayer moisture contents were predicted to 0.09687~0.19712(freeze drying), 0.07820~0.18617(vacuum drying) and 0.07715~0.18056(hot air drying) g H2O/g solid respectively using the BET equation. BET equation for isothermal absorption curve showed over 0.95 R-square for all dried methods. Monolayer moisture contents were increased as storage temperature was incremented because water molecular movement was more active and there was a greater chance to clash with the absorption surface area.

본 논문에서는 InP 기판에 자발형성법 (Self-assembled Mode)으로 성장한 InAs/InAlGaAs 양자점(Quantum Dots)의 외부 열처리 온도에 따른 광학적 특성을 논의한다. 분자선증착기 (Molecular Beam Epitaxy, VH80MBE)로 5주기 적층구조를 갖는 InAs/InAlGaAs 양자점 시료 (기준시료)를 성장 후 온도 의존성 및 여기광세기 의존성 포토루미네슨스 (photoluminescence, PL) 분광법으로 기본특성을 평가하였다. 양자점 시료를 $500{\sim}800^{\circ}C$에서 열처리를 수행하고 광학적 특성을 열처리 전과 비교하여 분석하였다. $550^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 InAs/InAlGaAs 양자점 시료의 저온 (11K) PL 파장은 1465 nm를 보였으며, 이는 열처리를 하지 않은 기준시료의 1452 nm 보다 13 nm 장파장으로 이동하였다. 열처리 온도가 $700^{\circ}C$ 이상인 경우, 양자점 PL 파장이 다시 단파장으로 이동하는 현상을 보였지만 여전히 열처리하지 않은 기준시료보다 장파장을 나타내었다. $700^{\circ}C$에서 열처리한 양자점 시료의 저온 PL 광세기는 기준시료보다 15.5배 더 크게 나타났으며, 주변 온도가 증가할수록 더디게 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 온도의존성 PL로부터 구한 활성화에너지 (Activation Energy)는 $700^{\circ}C$ 열처리 온도의 경우 175.9 meV를 나타내었다. InAs/InAlGaAs 양자점 시료의 열처리 온도에 따른 광특성 변화를 InAs 양자점과 InAlGaAs 장벽층 계면에서 III족 원소인 In, Al 및 Ga의 상호확산과 결함이 완화되는 현상으로 해석할 수 있다.

The development of the crystalline structure of poly(trimethylene terephthalate) (PTT) in a confined geometry was investigated with optical microscope, small angle light scattering, and X-ray diffraction. The rejected distance, which was represented in terms of the parameter $\delta$, played an important role in determining the morphological patterns of poly (ethylene terethphalate) (PET/PTT) blend. In case of stepwise crystallization, the crystallization of PTT commenced in the interspherulitic region between the grown PET crystals and proceeded until the interspherulitic space was filled with the PTT crystals. The spherulitic surface of the PET crtstals acted as the nucleation sites where the PTT molecules preferentially crystallized, leading to the formation of transcrystalline structure. As a result, a mixed morphological pattern was observed in the PTT-rich phase: one was a typical spherulitic texture and the other was a transcrystalline texture. Some of the molecular conformations of PTT, which could adopt in the absence of the space limitation, were probably forbidden in the interlamellar and/or interfibrillar regions of the PET spherulite. This constraint was responsible for difference in the crystallization and melting behavior of PTT between the intra and interspheulitic regions of PET.

This research focused on the intercalation behavior of recrystallized ibuprofen into clay as a sustained release drug carrier. The intercalation behaviors of ibuprofen were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD) and thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The basal spacing ($d_{001}$) of clay increased from 1.2 nm to 1.5 nm by ibuprofen molecules. The segmental motion effect of ibuprofen into the clay interlayer spacing also increased the thermal stability of the ibuprofen/clay nanocomposites. The in vitro drug release results of nanocomposites showed that ibuprofen was released from clay steadily.

In this study activated carbon fibers were prepared from PAN-based carbon fibers by physical activation with steam or carbon dioxide. The variations in specific surface area amount of iodine adsorption and pore size distribution of the activated carbon fibers after the activation process were discussed. in steam activation BET surface area of about 1019 m2/g was obtained after 77% burn-off while carbn dioxide activation produced ACF with 694m2/g of BET surface area after 52% burn-off. However carbon dioxide activation produced at a similar degree of activation higher micropore volume(0.37 cc/g) and amount of iodine adsorption (1589mg/g) than steam activation. Nitrogen adsorption isotherms for (PAN based activated carbon fibers that prepared by physical activation were of type I in the Brunauer-Deming-Deming-Teller classification

The absorption characteristics of Korean yam powder according to different drying methods were investigated. The physical properties of yam powder by different drying methods were showed the biggest porosity in freeze drying sample, while the smallest in hot air drying sample. No difference was founded in proximate compositions of yam powder by various drying methods. The amount of total phenolic compound and Vit C were showed the bigger decrement in freeze dried sample than other drying methods. The time reaching to equilibrium moisture content were determined in 12 days. Monolayer moisture contents were predicted to 0.0508∼0.0588 by BET equation and 0.0705∼0.0811 g H2O/g solid by GAB equation. BET equation for isothermal absorption curve showed over 0.95 R-square for every drying methods. GAB equation showed over 0.99 in vacuum and freeze drying but a poor R-square in hot air drying.

We investigated an electrochemical properties for Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) nano-films of polyimide and phospholipid mixture. LB films of polyamic acid and phospholipid monolayer were deposited by the Langmuir-Blodgett method on the indium tin oxide(ITO) glass. The electrochemical properties measured by cyclic voltammetry with three-electrode system(an Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum wire counter electrode and LB film-coated ITO working electrode) in $KClO_4$ solution. The current of reduction and oxidation range was measured from 1650 mV to -1350 mV, continuously. The scan rates were 50, 100, 150, 200 and 250 mV/s, respectively. As a result, monolayer LB films of polyamic acid and phospholipid mixture was appeared on irreversible process caused by the reduction current from the cyclic voltammogram. Diffusion coefficient (D) effect in the polyamic acid and phospholipid mixture was used in the LAPC with LLPC fewer than the diffusion coefficient values.

In the present study, numerical predictions of infrared spectrum of rocket plume with considering effect of particles based on approximation theories were performed by using a line-by-line radiation model with radiation databases. The high-resolution radiation databases were used to predict thermal emission spectra of gas molecules within the rocket plume regime. The particles were modeled as soot particles by using 1st term approximation of Mie theory and Rayleigh approximation. The reliability of modeled effect of soot particles using the two approximation theories was verified, and the spectral radiance of rocket plume was predicted based on the verification. The results were improved in the short wavelength range by considering the effect of soot particles.

In natural world various inorganic crystals are grown with controlled shape and size in hybrid forms with organics. Such natural processes have been attempted much to mimick artificially. One of the example is calcium carbonate which has been examined a lot in the field of biomineralization. In this study, we utilize well-organized surface of polydiacetylene(PDA) films as the crystal-growing template. We devised a novel mini-arrayer device that transfers PDA films at air/water interfaces of each array well and deposit them to hydrophobized glass substrates. This technical improvement will contribute to facilitate better understandings of biomineralization mechanism.
