The carbon-coated silicon monoxide (c-SiO_x), which is a negative electrode active material for lithium-ion batteries (LIBs), has a limited cycle performance due to severe volume changes during cycles, despite its high specific capacity. In particular, the significant volume change of the active material can deform the electrode structure and easily damage the electron transfer pathway. To improve performance and mitigate electrode damage caused by volume changes, we replaced parts of the carbon black conducting agent with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) having a linear shape. The content of the entire conductive material in the electrode was fixed at 10% by mass, and the relative content of CNTs ranged from 0% to 25% by mass to prepare electrodes and evaluate electrochemical performance. As the CNT content in the electrode increased, both cycle life and rate capability improved. Even a small amount of CNT can significantly improve the electrochemical performance of a c-SiO_x negative electrode with large volume changes. Furthermore, dispersing CNTs effectively can lead to achieving the equivalent performance with a reduced quantity of CNTs.

주물작업이란 용융된 금속을 미리 준비한 주형에 부어 원하는 형태의 주물을 만드는 금속성형작업으로서, 생산 공정에서 고열을 이용하여 금속을 용해, 주조하는 등의 작업 특성상 부유분진의 발생이 필연적이며, 일산화탄소, 금속 흄, 휘발성 코울타르 피치, 소음 및 진동, 고열, 전리방사선 등의 유해인자로 인한 피해가 극심하다. 특히 분진은 주물의 생산공정 중 용해, 조형, 탈사 및 후처리 등 거의 전 공정에서 발생되며, 결정형 유리규산(SiO$_2$)을 다량 함유하고 있어 인체에 흡입되었을 때, 건강의 악화 및 직업병의 원인으로서 작업 능률을 떨어뜨리는 요인으로 작용하고 있다(Burgess, 1995).

Carbon solubility on the paste deposition methods in the carbon-doped TiZrN coating was investigated in terms of lattice distortion and atomic concentration. After depositing the carbon paste by the dip coating, spin coating and screen printing, the laser was ablated to form the carbon gradient layer. Thickness and the concentration of doped carbon depended on the paste deposition method. Crystal structure analysis indicated that more lattice distortion occurred when coating layers were doped with spin coating and screen printing than when coating layers were doped with dip coating. The XPS depth profile showed that the thickness of carbon gradient layer by dip coating was about 30 nm, spin coating and screen printing are approximately 100 nm, formed more gradient layer. The hardness before laser carburization was about 30 GPa, and the hardness of 31 GPa with dip coating and 37 GPa with spin coating and screen printing. It was indicated that paste deposition methods for laser carburization contributed to lattice distortion and gradient layer.

Carbon nanotubes exhibit strong fluorescence emissions in the region of near infrared regions where most biomolecules are transparent. Such signals are highly sensitive to environment variations as well as adsorption of specific biomolecules. In this research, single walled carbon nanotubes(SWNTs) are assembled with different types of DNAs and used to target specific types of DNAs. Dot blot investigations and corresponding raman spectroscopy observations demonstrated excellent selectivity of carbon nanotube-DNA bioconjugates. The results show possibility of using SWNT as generic nano-bio markers for precise detection of different kinds of genes.

폐기물의 플라즈마를 이용한 열분해-가스화-용융 처리공정은 청정연료 형태로 정화된 합성가스를 얻을 수 있고, 이 합성가스를 WGS 반응과 PSA 공법을 이용하면 고순도 수소로의 전환 및 회수가 가능하다. (주)애드플라텍에서는 자체 보유하고 있는 3톤/일급 플라즈마 폐기물 처리설비와 수소 정제/회수시스템을 연계하여, 페기물로부터 고순도 수소 생산($20Nm^3/h$이상)을 위한 플라즈마 폐기물 처리 추소 생산 통합시스템 개발을 진행하고 있다. 합성가스 내 질소 농도를 낮추기 위해 산소를 매질로 하는 100kw급 산소 플라즈마 토치를 제작하였다. 수소 정제/회수 시스템은 폐기물의 플라즈마 처리 후의 합성가스 생성량과 조성의 변화에 대응할 수 있도록 하였으며, WGS 반응기로 들어가는 합성가스를 가스 컴프레서를 통하여 최대 10기압으로 승압시키고, 고농도 일산화탄소의 효과적인 제거 및 열 회수 극대화가 이루어질 수 있는 최적의 가스처리 시스템으로 구현되도록 하였다. 설치 완료된 WGS 반응기의 성능시험을 플라즈마 처리설비와 연계하여 수행하였다. 합성가스 내 각각 34%와 25%의 일산화탄소 및 수소의 농도가 WGS 반응기를 거친 후, 일산화탄소는 0.1% 미만으로 제거되었으며 수소는 44%로 증가하여 WGS 반응기의 성능 수준이 매우 우수함을 확인하였다. 차기 년도에 설치/가동 예정인 수소 생산용 PSA는 최대 10기압 운전 및 상압재생 방식으로 운전되며 생산된 수소는 최소 99.99%이상의 고순도를 유지할 것으로 기대된다.

In this paper, the thermal insulator structure of a real rocket which is fabricated in a way that laminated composite rings are connected in series is analyzed using 3-dimensional axisymmetric finite element models. Simulation of cowl zone using a real operating conditions provides that the stress distribution in the laminated composite ring is largely influenced by ply-angles, axial dimensions, and boundary conditions. Notably the plylift that is the precursor to the wedge-out occurs in the ring-to-ring bonding region. It is hypothesized that after the plylift the wedge is dropped out due to the shear stresses in the ply-angle direction and axial compressive stresses.

The experiment was conducted to investigate the physiological characteristics on 16 Isolates of bacterial wilt pathogen, pseudomonas solanacearum E.F. Smith, those obtained from infected stems of tomatoes, hot-Peppers and eggplants. PSA and Sucrose medium favoured by the most of the isolates, and various degree of gelatin liquefaction occurred by each of nine isolates those alble to liquefy gelatin among 16 isolates tested. The most of the isolates except one, did not reduce methylen blue. All isolates did not utilize lactose, saccharose, and starch, although all isolates utilize the galactose. The utilization of dextrin, esculin, glucose, mannitol, raffinose and salicin was depended on each isolate.

2.45 GHz 마이크로웨이브를 이용하는 electron cyclotron resonance plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition(ECR-PECVD)방법으로 다이아몬드성 탄소박막(diamond-like carbon, DLC)을 증착하였다. DLC 박막의 산업 응용을 위해서는 높은 경도와 밀착력이 필요하다. 그래서 본 실험에서는 DLC 박막의 산업 응용을 위하여 ECR-PECVD 방법으로 증착된 DLC 박막의 분석결과로부터 DLC 박막의 물성과 증착조건의 관계를 조사하였다. 기판으로는 실리콘 웨이퍼와 실험용 SUS 판을 사용하였다. 아르곤 가스를 주입하여 ECR 마이크로 웨이브 플라즈마와 negative DC bias로 기판을 플라즈마 세척한 후, 수소와 메탄가스를 반응기체로 하여 DLC 박막을 증착하였다. 박막 증착시에 13.56MHz RF 전원 공급장치로 기판에 전원을 공급하였다. DLC 박막 증착의 변수는 반응기체의 호합율, 마이크로웨이브 파워, 프로세스 압력 및 RF 전원공급장치에서 유도되는 negative self DC bias 등이다. 이때 사용된 반응기체의 혼합율(메탄/수소)은 10~50%이고, 수소 가스 흐름율은 100sccm, 메탄은 10~50sccm이다. 마이크로웨이브의 크기는 360~900W, negative self DC bias는 -500~-10 V였다. 그리고 본 실험에서는 높은 증착율을 고려하여 프로세스 압력을 10~30mTorr까지 조절하였다. ER-PECVD 방법으로 증착된 DLC 박막은 SEM으로 단면, $\alpha$-Step으로 두께, Raman 분광계로 탄소 결합구조, FTIR 분광계로 탄소와 수소 결합구조, Micro-Hardness로 경도 그리고 Scratch Tester로 밀착력 등을 분석하였다.

Contact resistance variation which may be called sliding noise in carbon film variable resistors whose resistance elements consists of linear resistivity distribution were measured with several kinds of sliders and were analyzed to reduce the contact resistance variation. About the measuring method, the standard method of measuring contact resistance variation specified by the variable Resistance Components Institute was adupted. By analyzing the experimental results, it has been shown that the primary cause of contact resistance variation is due to current constriction and small discharge sparks in the resistance film in the area close to the slide contact. Moreover, it has been found that the sliding noise would be reduced by increasing the number of contact points, sliding speed, and pressure, and by using some kinds of insulation oil on the contacting surface. High contact resistance variation is likely to occur in the area of high resistance variation in a logrithmic resistance taper.

Pichia pastoris, a methylotrophic yeast widely used for the production of heterologous proteins, was used to produce Hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg) under the control of the strong, tightly-regulated alcohol oxidase promoter. It is highly induced during the growth on methanol, but the presence of non-methanol carbon sources such as glycerol and glucose repressed fully the expression of alcohol oxidase. In this study, glycerol and sorbitol feedings for the expression of the recombinant HBsAg were compared to examine the potential of sorbitol as a less repressive carbon source in fed-batch fermentation. The sorbitol feeding enhanced the production yield by 12% compared to that in glycerol feeding, although the cell concentration was lower.
