Fabrication of MEA is important factor for proton exchange membrane fuel cell (PEMFC). MEA of PEMFC with hot pressing and direct coating method were prepared, and performances were evaluated and compared each other. The effect of MEA preparation methods, hot pressing methods and direct coating methods, on the cell performance was analyzed by impedance spectroscopy and SEM. The performance of PEMFC with direct coating method was better than with hot pressing method because membrane internal resistance and membrane-interfacial resistance were reduced by elimination of hot pressing process in MEA fabrication. In addition the micro structure of MEA with direct coating method reveals uniform interface between membrane and catalyst layer.

The beta-turn has been implicated as an important conformation for biological recognition of peptides or proteins. We adapted the concept of general Ca atom positioning from the cluster analysis and recombination of each ideal beta-turn conformation pattern by Garland and Dean (1. Computer-Aided Molecular Design, 1999, 13, 469) as one strategy of designing non-peptide beta-turn scaffolds. (omitted)

A study on the iron electrode which is a good material for alkaline battery because of its superior characteristics including high theoretical capacity density, low toxicity, low cost and inexhaustible supply was performed to develop high performance nickel-iron secondary battery. The characteristics of chrage-discharge reaction were examined by cyclic voltammetry technique SEM and XRD analysis. The capacity of the test electrodes was determined by the costant current charge-discharge method. It was found that the purity and particle size of iron material were the major determinant factors of electrode capacity. With the addition of $Na_2S$ into the electrolyte the capacity of electrode was increased about 20 % caused by the prevention of passivation and the increase of hydrogen overpotential. The stability and capacity of electrode were increased with the use of Ni-fibrex and foamed Ni collectors and also depended on the sintering temperature. The capacity of electrode was 350 mAh/g(0.2 C) which corresponded to 36% utility.

This survey reports on the extensive examination of the qualify of 14 jogging and tennis shoes separately, availavable in the domestic market, Both jogging and tennis shoes were catagorised in two groups, namely the general goods(less expensive ones) and the exclusive goods(expensive models). The detailed classification are shown below; The domestic products meet the general purpose just as that of the foreign products. Due to the adhesion technology, the domestic tennis shoes consist of rubber sole with natural leather upper;In fact, the desirable combination, as foreign products, must be polyurethane/natural leather. The expensive models were heavier than the less expensive ones. The greater weight difference of right and left shoes are shown in the expensive models than that of the less expensive ones. The moisture absorption ratio of the expensive model is far superior in comparison with the less expensive model. The reason is identified by the material supplyed to produce the expensive model consisted of the natural leather and proper parts. The abrasion resistance of the expensive models were excellent that of the less expensive ones, because the rubber soles were showed the properties better than polyurethane sole which was used in the less expensive model.

In order to review industrial application of amphoteric surfactants, new types of hydroxy sulfobetaine, 3-(N, N-dimethyl N-dimethyl-N-alkylammonio)-2-hydroxy-1-propane sulfonate and 3-(N, N-dimethyl N-acylammonio)-2-hydroxy-1-propane sulfonate were prepared by the reaction of quaternized sodium 1-chloro-2-hydroxy-3-propane sulfonate with N, N-dimethyl-N-alkylamine and N, N-dimethyl N-acylamido propylamine that have a straight chain radical of 12, 18 carbon atoms respectively in the presence of alkali catalyst. All the reaction products could be separated by means of column and thin layer chromatography, and the yields of all products ranged in $85{\sim}90%$, the structure of them could be confirmed from IR and $^{1}H$-NMR spectra.

Polyurethane surface was chemically modified to have different hydrophilic polyethyleneoxide(PEO)/hydrophobic dodecanediol(DDO) groups and negatively charged sulfonate group to investigate the effect to the antithrombogenicity. The hydrophilicity of the surface was significantly increased after PEO grafting or sulfonation. Lowering in-vitro platelet adhesion led to a prologation in the ex-vivo occlusion time. Especially, the sulfonated PU-PEO surface showed most enhanced blood compatibility due to the synergistic effects of PEO and $SO_3$ groups.

Transparent conductive thin films have found many application in many active and passive electronic and opto-electronic devices as like flat Panel display electrode and window heat mirror, etc. Low resistivity and high transmittance of this films can be obtained by controlling deposition parameters, which are oxygen partial Pressure, substrate temperature and dopant concentration. In this study, We prepared non-stoichiometric and Sb-doped thin films of tin dioxide by reactive DC magnetron sputtering technology. The lowest resistivity of about $3.0{\times}10^{-3}\;{\Omega}cm$ and 80% transmittance in the visible light region have heed obtained at optimal deposition condition.

Zeolite 4A-impregnated complex molecular sieve was prepared by hydrothermal reaction after aluminosilicate gel was penetrated into the pore of activated carbon granule. The crystals of zeolite 4A mainly were formed in the macropore of activated carbon, and their average diameter is $0.8{\mu}m$. The pore volume of activated carbon granule is $0.67m{\ell}/g$, and the pore volume of the sample including 21.6wt% of zeolite 4A crystal is $0.41m{\ell}/g$ decreasing the pore volume by 40% due to the crystallization of zeolite 4A crystals on the internal surface of activated carbon. The calcium ion exchange capacity of zeolite 4A-impregnated sample is 320mg $CaCO_3/g$ zeolite, and this value is almost the same as that of zeolite 4A powder. The crystal of zeolite 4A was not separated from the support of activated carbon granule in the course of ultrasonic dispersion. The adsorption isotherm of water on zeolite 4A-impregnated sample shows the intermediate shape between types, I and III. In addition, zeolite 4A-impregnated sample shows the hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties simultaneously.

Polyaniline(PANI)-stearic acid(SA) composite monolayer was formed at the air-water interface. The stearic acid as a surfactant was used to promote PANI monolayer formation. Uniform PANI-SA monolayer assemblies with Y type and transfer ratio of ca. 1 were fabricated using the Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) technique. The PANI-SA composite LB films with high electrical conductivity of $10^{-1}{\sim}10^{-2}S/cm$ were obtained by doping of HCl or $I_2$, and their conductivity revealed essentially close value as that of conventional PAHI-HCl complex. Especially, iodine is found to be the most promising dopant, since it gives a remarkable stability for the application as a polymer electrode in the MIM molecular device consisted of acceptor, sensitizer, and donor. The structure and physical properties of PANI-SA LB films were investigated through the near-ir UV, FT-IR, and Cyclic voltammetry.

Electrochemical characteristics and kinetic parameters of copper ion reduction were investigated with a platinum rotating disk electrode (RDE) in a diffusion controlled region. Reduction of Cu(II) in sulfate had one-step two-xelectron process, while the reduction of Cu(II) in chloride solution was involved two one-electron processes. The transfer coefficient of Cu(II) in sulfate solution was lowest, and the transfer coefficient of Cu(I) in halide solutions had the value of nearly one. In chloride solutions, electrodeposition rate of Cu(II) was about one hundred times faster than Cu(I). Diffusion coefficient increased in the order of Cu(II) in chloride solution, Cu(I) in the iodide, bromide, chloride solution, Cu(II) in sulfate solution. The calculated ionic radii and activation energy for diffusion decreased in the same order as above. Morphological study on the copper electrodeposition indicated that the electrode surface became rougher as both concentration and reduction potential increases, and the roughness of the surface was analyzed with UV/VIS spectrophotometer.
