Pervaporation process using a NaY zeolite membrane was applied for separation of water generated in an esterification process as a byproduct. From the binary mixture of water and either ethyl acetate or acetic acid and the ternary mixture of water, ethanol and ethyl acetate which might be present in an esterification reaction for manufacturing ethyl acetate, water was separated by the membrane pervaporation. It was investigated how the operating parameters such as an organic concentration and a temperature affected the permeate flux and the separation factor of water. For the feed mixture of water/ethyl acetate, the total flux and the separation factor of water were observed to be $930-5,000g/m^2/hr$ and 3,700-8,000, respectively. Also it was found for ternary mixtures of water/ethanol/ethyl acetate that the total flux was $1,300-3,900g/m^2/hr$ and the separation factor was 530-1,600. A pervaporation process might be applied in an esterification process since both the total flux and the separation factor of water through the NaY zeolite membrane were shown to be very high.

In this study the trace of chlorinated organic compound in aqueous solution was separated by pervaporation process using crosslinked PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) membrane. The flux of trichloroethylene(TCE) increased linearly with feed composition but the flux of water was slightly increased. The partial flux of TCE was greater than that of tetrachloroethylene(PCE). The partial flux of TCE was not changed with operating temperature, but increased rapidly with feed flow rates. High crosslinking density causes the reduction of solubility and diffusivity for target component. The reduction of flux and selectivity for TCE is due to the chain immobilization and reduction of diffusivity with crosslinking density.

An improved low coherence interferometer system and a new analysis method for the accurate measurement of the optical path difference error of an AWG (Arrayed-Waveguide Grating) are described. The use of software simplifies the experimental setup by eliminating the hardware (clock generator). In addition, the actual distances between the peak positions of the adjacent interference signals are calculated using interpolation methods. The wavelength transmission characteristics of the AWG are calculated assuming the measured phase errors. The calculated AWG characteristic is quite similar to the actual measurement result, confirming accuracy of the proposed measurement setup.

Characteristics of poly(vinyl alcohol)-poly(methacrylic acid) system (PVA.-PMAA system) for fixation of radioactive contaminant on sand were studied. Dissociation of carboxyl group in PMAA was found to be suppressed by PVA Permeability of sand layer treated with PVA-PMAA solution is directly proportional to the PMAA concentration when the ［PMAA］ is below 0.082 M and the empirical proportional constant (k) is -8.95$\times$10￣$^4$cm$^{5}$ /mole. The change of permeability can be explained by the formation of an intermacromolecular complex between PVA and PMAA The polymer bridge formed on a sand surface combines sand yams more firmly. The PVA-PMAA system is more effective than the PVA system for the fixation of deposited condensational radionuclides.

균일한 전기 전도성 및 우수한 광투과성과 내화학성을 갖는 탄소나노튜브(CNT) 기반의 투명전도막(TCF)은 기존의 ITO 박막보다 우수한 유연성을 갖기 때문에 차세대 플렉시블 디스플레이 소재로서 많은 관심을 모으고 있다. 특히 낮은 저항과 투과도가 일정하면서 투명 전도막의 내구성을 향상 및 유지 시키는 연구는 상업화에 가장 필요한 연구 분야이다. 본 연구에서는 PET기판을 이용한 탄소나노튜브로 제작된 투명전도막 위에 오버 코팅을 통한 물성에 따른 내구성 개선 및 유지를 연구하였다. 오버 코팅 물질로는 실리콘계 투명 하드코팅 소재를 기본으로 하고 용매 및 합성 온도을 제어하여 내구성을 개선하고자 하였다. 연구결과 CNT 코팅층과 오버 코팅층과의 젖음성이 물성 향상에 가장 많은 영향을 끼치는 것을 관찰하였고, 특히 젖음성이 증가할수록 투과도와 전기전도도가 향상되는 것을 확인하였다. 구조 분석결과, 이러한 젖음성에 가장 많은 영향을 주는 것은 용매의 비점과 비중 그리고 용질의 합성 온도 임을 확인하였다. 또한 오버코팅 물질 중 고비점 용매가 고온 고습 환경에서 240시간 이상 내구성 테스트 결과, 투명전도성 평가 지수(${\sigma}DC/{\sigma}OP$)가 향상되었고 또한 테스트 전후의 HAZE 변화율이 10%이하 임을 확인하였다.

The extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (EFPI) optical fiber sensor shows good sensitivity and resolution, and has many advantages over optical fiber sensors of other types. However, this EFPI optical fiber sensor has a disadvantage that the distinction of measuring directions is difficult due to the measurement method by using only fringe counting. In this paper, the transmission-type extrinsic Fabry-Perot interferometric (TEFPI) optical fiber sensor was developed, which has been improved by the additional function and whose measuring system is different from that of the conventional EFPI optical fiber sensor. Then the application result of the TEFPI optical fiber sensor to the strain and temperature measurement was explained in detail.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes cross-linked with sulfosuccinic acid (SSA) in which poly(4-styrene sulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) (PSSA_MA) was blended to endow more ion exchange capacity were prepared to measure the permselectivities of water-alcohol mixtures by pervaporation separation technique. The feed mixtures of binary aqueous methanol, ethanol and iso-propyl alcohol solution by 90 wt% alcohol portion were used. Typically, for PVA10/SSA9/PSSA_MA90 membrane, the flux of 202.6, 47.8, $20.2g/m^2hr$ for aqueous methanol, ethanol and iso-propyl alcohol solutions was shown while the best separation factors of 34.2, 291 and 991 were given by PVA10/SSA11/PSSA_MA80 membrane.

Pervaporation separation for water-ethanol mixtures has been carried out using crosslinked poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes with poly(styrene sulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) (PSSA_MA) and at which tetraethylorthosilicate (TEOS) was introduced. The concentration of PSSA_MA was fixed 7 wt% over PVA and the TEOS contents, 3, 5, and 7 wt%, were varied against PVA. The composition of the feed mixtures were 10, 20, 30 and 50 wt% of water in it. PVA/PSSA_MA/5 wt% TEOS membrane showed the separation factor, 1730 and the permeability, $16.3g/m^2{\cdot}hr$ for water : ethanol = 10 : 90 at $50^{\circ}C$.

To improve $Na^+$-saponite(SPT) film flexibility, we prepared SPT hybrid clay films with various poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) concentrations(0~10 wt%) using the solution intercalation method. In this study, we investigated the thermo-optical properties, morphology, and gas permeability of the SPT hybrid films. We also examined the relationship between the film properties and PVA content using wide angle X-ray diffraction measurements(XRD), field emission scanning electron microscopy(FESEM), differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), thermomechanical analysis(TMA), ultraviolet-visible(UV-vis) spectroscopy, and oxygen transmission rate($O_2$TR) testing. The properties of the clay hybrid films were strongly affected by PVA filler content. The presence of a small amount of PVA was sufficient to improve the flexibility of SPT hybrid films.
