A teflon ionization modeling has been conducted to predict the performance of a PPT(Pulsed Plasma Thruster). One dimensional unsteady circuit model and Teflon ablation model were implemented. The Saha equation was adapted to predict the ionization of Carbon and Fluorine gas. The lumped circuit model including a resistance and a inductance model of a plasma was adapted to predict the magnitude of a discharge current. Numerical simulation results had good agreements with pervious research. The degree of current change according to PPT operating voltage was examined.

전기발광소자는 바이폴라소자로서 전자와 정공의 주입, 이동 및 재결합에 의하여 발광한다. 소자에 사용되는 발광층의 대표 물질인 $Alq_3$를 한층(single layer)만 사용하고 정공의 주입을 도와주기위하여 폴리테트라플로로에틸렌(테플론)층을 얇게 증착하여 두께 변화에 따른 소자의 전기적 발광 특성을 측정하였다. 테플론은 좋은 부도체 폴리머로서 정공 터널링 전류가 두께 2 nm에서 가장 크게 증가하였으며 효율도 최대에 이르렀다. 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 실리콘 기판에 증착시킨 테플론 박막의 조직을 조사한 결과 두꺼워 질수록 라멜라(섬유조직)가 발달함을 알 수 있었다. 전자 주입을 도와주는 터널링층으로서 알루미늄산화막을 $Alq_3$ 위에 3 ${\AA}$ 증착한 결과 전류와 효율이 더 증가하였다.

전기 아연도금은 철강의 내식성을 향상시키기 위한 희생양극으로 사용되어 왔다. 이러한 아연 도금층의 내식성은 그 아연에 의하여 부식으로부터 보호받는 철강 소재의 수명과 직결됨에 따라 아연 도금층의 성능 특히 부식저항성을 높이는 연구는 소재 수명 뿐만이라 성능의 유지하는데 있어서 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 전기 아연 도금층에 표면에너지가 낮은 물질인 테플론을 얇게 코팅함으로써 발수성 표면을 구현하였다. 발수성 표면은 물에 대한 젖음성이 매우 낮기 때문에 부식 저항성이 높은 것으로 알려져 있는데, 이는 표면의 거칠기를 제어함으로써 그 효과를 극대화 할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 특히 전기 아연 도금의 후처리로 알려진 인산염 처리를 이용하여 전기 아연 도금층의 표면형상 구조를 제어하였다. 그리고 그 표면에 테플론을 코팅함으로써 초발수 성질을 구현하였고, 이를 통해 아연 도금층의 내식성 향상에 대하여 분석하였다. 그 결과, 인산염처리에 의하여 표면형상의 구조가 거칠어질수록 테플론 코팅 후 접촉각과 물방울의 이동성은 증가하였다. 이는 표면형상에 의해서 공기층이 물방울 아래에 고립되어 있다는 것을 의미하고, 이러한 공기층으로 인하여 아연 도금층의 내식성은 크게 증가하였다.

For the application of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC), sulfonated polystyrene/teflon (PS/PTFE) composite membranes were developed by changing monomer ratio of styrene and DVB. The composite membranes were prepared as follows: first, the monomer mixtures consisting of styrene, divinyl benzene and AIBN were impregnated in porous PTFE film and then, polymerized under 8$0^{\circ}C$ to give PS/PTFE membranes. Finally, the membranes were reacted with chlorosulfonic acid in 1,2-dichloroethane to give the sulfonated composite membranes. The measurements of ATR-FTIR, SEM, solvent uptake test and ion exchange capacity (IEC) were done for the resulting membranes before or after sulfonation, respectively, which showed the composite membranes with proper crosslinking degree and sulfonic acid content were prepared well as a function of styrene/DVB ratio. ion conductivity and methanol permeability were studied for the sulfonated membranes. It was found that with decreasing the ratio of styrene/DVB, methanol permeability decreased from $6.6{\times}10^{-7}∼1.3{\timas}10^{-7}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$/s, which are much lower values than that of Nafion$^{(R)}$117($1.02{\times}10^{-6}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$/s). Under the same monomer condition, ion conductivity decreased from 0.11 S/cm ($25^{\circ}C$) to 0.08 S/cm ($25^{\circ}C$), which are similar or a little higher values compared with $Nafion^{(R)}117 (1.02{\times}10^{-6}$ $\textrm{cm}^2$/s, 0.0824 S/cm). These two results confirmed the composite membranes prepared could be applied successfully to DMFC.C.

Trace element abundances in the igneous rocks are important data for petrogenetic interpretation. Their concentrations are generally measured using ICP-MS from the dissolved solution. The acid digestion of rock powder can be performed by conventional teflon vial or pressure bomb. In this paper, we investigated a problem that happened during acid digestion experiment using conventional teflon vial or pressure bomb of BCR2 and GSP2 USGS rock standard materials. The results show that the measured concentrations of the elements like Cr, Ni, Zn, Ta, W in the BCR2 are different from the recommended values of USGS whereas those of the elements like Rb, Sr, Zr, Hf, Ta, W in the GSP2 are different from those values. Our experiment shows that defect of specific elements like Cr, Ni may happen during the sample digestion. Our results also indicate that the Cr, Ni, W, Zr, Hf, Ta concentration obtained based on an acid digestion of geological samples need to be careful in their geochemical interpretation.

Purpose: For better PET imaging with accuracy the transmission scanning is inevitably required for attenuation correction. The attenuation is affected by condition of acquisition and patient position, consequently quantitative accuracy may be decreased in emission scan imaging. In this paper, the present study aims at providing the measurement for attenuation varying with the positions of the patient's arm in whole body PET/CT, further performing the comparative analysis over its SUV changes. Materials and Methods: NEMA 1994 PET phantom was filled with $^{18}F$-FDG and the concentration ratio of insert cylinder and background water fit to 4:1. Phantom images were acquired through emission scanning for 4min after conducting transmission scanning by using CT. In an attempt to acquire image at the state that the arm of the patient was positioned at the lower of ahead, image was acquired in away that two pieces of Teflon inserts were used additionally by fixing phantoms at both sides of phantom. The acquired imaged at a were reconstructed by applying the iterative reconstruction method (iteration: 2, subset: 28) as well as attenuation correction using the CT, and then VOI was drawn on each image plane so as to measure CT number and SUV and comparatively analyze axial uniformity (A.U=Standard deviation/Average SUV) of PET images. Results: It was found from the above phantom test that, when comparing two cases of whether Teflon insert was fixed or removed, the CT number of cylinder increased from -5.76 HU to 0 HU, while SUV decreased from 24.64 to 24.29 and A.U from 0.064 to 0.052. And the CT number of background water was identified to increase from -6.14 HU to -0.43 HU, whereas SUV decreased from 6.3 to 5.6 and A.U also decreased from 0.12 to 0.10. In addition, as for the patient image, CT number was verified to increase from 53.09 HU to 58.31 HU and SUV decreased from 24.96 to 21.81 when the patient's arm was positioned over the head rather than when it was lowered. Conclusion: When arms up protocol was applied, the SUV of phantom and patient image was decreased by 1.4% and 9.2% respectively. With the present study it was concluded that in case of PET/CT scanning against the whole body of a patient the position of patient's arm was not so much significant. Especially, the scanning under the condition that the arm is raised over to the head gives rise to more probability that the patient is likely to move due to long scanning time that causes the increase of uptake of $^{18}F$-FDG of brown fat at the shoulder part together with increased pain imposing to the shoulder and discomfort to a patient. As regarding consideration all of such factors, it could be rationally drawn that PET/CT scanning could be made with the arm of the subject lowered.

Artifacts due to inter-particle and gas-particle interactions during PM2.5 sampling were quantified by comparing the measurement results between the annular denuder-filterpack system and the filterpack system without denuder. Measurements were carried in Seoul for 10 days in each season; Nov. 2004, Jan. 2005, Mar. 2005, and Jul. 2005, respectively. In each day, two 12-h samples were obtained. The concentrations of nitrate and chloride showed seasonal variations mainly due to the availability of ammonium to neutralize nitrate or chloride. Nitrates and chloride losses were prominent in summer. Since most of ammonia was used to neutralize sulfuric acid and formed ammonium sulfate in summer, nitrate and chloride could not exist in particles and ammonium loss was smaller than other seasons.
