Fracture of uni-directional carbon fiber reinforced carbon matrix composite is strongly dependent on the orientation of basal plane in graphite matrix when it is limited within matrix. The orientation of basal planes are vertically stacked to carbon fiber which results in the weakness for applied tensile or shear force in thermosetting resin derived-carbon matrix composite. Microtextural control of the matrix was tried through chemical interaction between metal carbides and furan resin derived-carbon matrix. SiC and TiO2 addition made the orientation disordered. However, porosity increased due to decomposition of SiC. Interfacial bonding could be controlled by TiO2 addition, but carbon fiber was considerably reacted with TiC during thermal treatment higher than 2$600^{\circ}C$. Therefore, it is desirable to control the thermal treatment temperature at which decomposition of SiC was not serious and TiC/C was not formed eutectoid.

Carbon materials have become a major interestings of research directed toward the development for anode of lithium batteries of enhanced cell capacity. The purpose of this study is to research and develop poly(p-phenylene)(PPP)-based carbon as a anode of lithium secondary batteries. We have synthesized PPP from benzen by chemical reaction. And then disordered carbon materials were obtained by heat-treating PPP in a nitrogen atmosphere at 40$0^{\circ}C$ to 100$0^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. The carbon prepared by heat treatment showed a broad x-ray diffraction peak around 2$\theta$=23$^{\circ}$. Electrodes were charged and discharged at a current density of 0.1㎃/$\textrm{cm}^2$. Excellent reversible capacity of 275㎃h/g and 97% of charge/discharge efficiency were observed heat treated PPP-based carbon a $700^{\circ}C$.

Sleep is associated with definite changes in respiratory function in normal human beings. During sleep, there is loss of voluntary control of breathing and a decrease in the usual ventilatory response to both low oxygen and high carbon dioxide levels. Especially, rapid eye movement (REM) sleep is a distinct neurophysiological state associated with significant changes in breathing pattern and ventilatory control as compared with both wakefulness and non-rapid eye movement (NREM) sleep. REM sleep is characterized by erratic, shallow breathing with irregularities both in amplitude and frequency owing to marked reduction in intercostal and upper airway muscle activity. These blunted ventilatory responses during sleep are clinically important. They permit marked hypoxemia that occurs during REM sleep in patients with lung or chest wall disease. In addition, sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) is more frequent and longer and hypoventilation is more pronounced during REM sleep. Although apneic episodes are most frequent and severe during REM sleep, most adults spend less than 20 to 25% of total sleep time in REM sleep. It is, therefore, possible for patients to have frequent apneas and hypopneas during REM sleep and still have a normal apnea-hypopnea index if the event-rich REM periods are diluted by event-poor periods of NREM sleep. In this review, we address respiratory physiology according to sleep stage, and the clinical implications of SDB and hypoventilation aggravated during REM sleep.

Carbon materials were synthesized by pyrolysis from fibers of Corn-straw (Zea mays), Rice-straw (Oryza sativa), Jute-straw (Corchorus capsularis) Bamboo (Bombax bambusa), Bagass (Saccharum officinarum), Cotton (Bombax malabaricum), and Coconut (Cocos nucifera); these materials were characterized by scanning electron microscope, X-ray diffraction (XRD), and Raman spectra. All carbon materials are micro sized with large pores or channel like morphology. The unique complex spongy, porous and channel like structure of Carbon shows a lot of similarity with the original anatomy of the plant fibers used as precursor. Waxy contents like tyloses and pits present on fiber tracheids that were seen in the inherent anatomy disappear after pyrolysis and only the carbon skeleton remained; XRD analysis shows that carbon shows the development of a (002) plane, with the exception of carbon obtained from bamboo, which shows a very crystalline character. Raman studies of all carbon materials showed the presence of G- and D-bands of almost equal intensities, suggesting the presence of graphitic carbon as well as a disordered graphitic structure. Carbon materials possessing lesser density, larger surface area, more graphitic with less of an $sp^3$ carbon contribution, and having pore sizes around $10{\mu}m$ favor hydrogen adsorption. Carbon materials synthesized from bagass meet these requirements most effectively, followed by cotton fiber, which was more effective than the carbon synthesized from the other plant fibers.

Through a simple filtration process, followed by carbonization within a reductive environment, coffee waste grounds can be transformed into a non-porous hard carbon for use in multiple contexts. This resulting coffee-waste carbon has been evaluated as an eco-friendly and cost-effective replacement for conventional graphite. When compared with different types of carbon, our study found that the coffee-waste carbon fell into the category of hard carbon, as verified from the galvanostatic charge/discharge profiles. The coffee-waste carbon showed a superior rate capability when compared to that of graphite, while compromising smaller capacity at low C rates. During electrochemical reactions, it was also found that the coffee-waste carbon is well exposed to electrolytes, and its disordered characteristic is advantageous for ionic transport which leads to the low tortuosity of Li ions. Finally, the high irreversible capacity (low initial Coulombic efficiency) of the coffee-waste carbon, which if also often observed in amorphous carbon, can be adequately resolved through a solution-based prelithiation process, thereby proving that the coffee-waste carbon material is quite suitable for commercial use as an anode material for quickly-chargeable electrodes.

The single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) produced by chemical vapor deposition (CVD) were directly fluorinated with fluorine ($F_2$) gas in a temperature range 20 ~ 400 ${^{\circ}C}$. The surface properties and morphology of the SWCNTs were investigated in terms of fluorination temperature. As a result, Raman spectra showed a pair of bands at 1340 and 1590 $cm^{-1}$ peculiar to disordered $sp^2$-carbons. These results indicated that C-F bonds were formed on the rear surfaces of the nanotubes by fluorination, while the external surfaces as well as the layers between the internal and external surfaces retained their $sp^2$-hybridization. XPS analysis exhibited that fluorine atoms were bonded to carbon atoms on internal surfaces (rear surfaces) of the nanotubes and the amount of fluorine attached on the nanotubes was increased with increasing the fluorination temperature. Consequently, the direct fluorination of carbon nanotubes led to functionalization and modification of pristine nanotubes with respect to surface and morphological properties.

As an pretreatment, a Fe$(NO_3)_3{\cdot}9H_2O-Al(OH)_3$mixture was ground by a high energy mill and used as a supported catalyst for the growth of carbon nanotubes by a thermal CVD. The crystal structure of the catalyst disordered by the grinding influenced significantly the synthesis of carbon nanotubes in a thermal CVD.

Electrochemical lithium intercalation into a PECVD (plasma enhanced chemical vapour deposited) carbon film electrode was investigated in 1 M $LiPF_6-EC$ (ethylene carbonate) and DEC (diethyl carbonate) solution during lithium intercalation and deintercalation, by using cyclic voltammetry supplemented with ac-impedance spectroscopy. The size of the graphitic crystallite in the a- and c-axis directions obtained from the carbon film electrode was much smaller than those of the graphite one, indicating less-developed crystalline structure with hydrogen bonded to carbon, from the results of AES (Auger electron spectroscopy), powder XRD (X-ray diffraction) method, and FTIR(Fourier transform infra-red) spectroscopy. It was shown from the cyclic voltammograms and ac-impedance spectra of carbon film electrode that a threshold overpotential was needed to overcome an activation barrier to entrance of lithium into the carbon film electrode, such as the poor crystalline structure of the carbon film electrode showing disordered carbon and the presence of residual hydrogen in its structure. The experimental results were discussed in terms of the effect of host carbon structure on the lithium intercalation capability.

여름철 강원도 고랭지 재배되는 착색단고추는 비상품과로 분류되는 생리장해과가 발생이 많은데, 본 실험은 이들 생리장해과의 신선편이 이용 가능성을 알아보고자 실시하였다. 착색단고추의 정상과와 배꼽썩음과 그리고 납작과를 수확하여 신선편이로 제조하여 수확 후 생리현상과 몇 가지 MAP 조건에서 저장성을 비교하였다. 저장전 이들 신선편이의 호흡률과 에틸렌 발생 률은 정상과와 생리장해과의 차이에 일정한 경향이 었으며 통계적 유의성도 나타나지 않았다. 이들 3가지의 형태의 과실의 신선편이를 두께 $25{\mu}m$와 $50{\mu}m$의 세라믹 필름으로 포장하여 $4^{\circ}C$와 $9^{\circ}C$ 그리고 상온에서 저장하였다. 저장중 생체중 감소는 모두 1.1% 이하로 과실형태로는 그 차이에 유의성이 없었으며 필름 두께가 얇을수록 저장 온도가 높을수록 컸다. 이들 포장재내 이산화탄소와 산소농도의 경우 품종과 과실형태별 차이에 유의성은 없었으며 저장온도별로 저온이었던 $4^{\circ}C$ 처리와 필름종류에서는 두께가 얇았던 $25{\mu}m$ 세라믹 필름포장처리에서 낮은 이산화탄소와 높은 산소 농도를 보였다. 저장기간 중 변화를 보면 $4^{\circ}C$ 저장은 9일 이후, $9^{\circ}C$ 저장은 6일 이후 포장재내 급격한 이산화탄소 농도 증가와 이와 동반된 산소 농도 감소나 나타났는데, 이 시점은 외관상 품질이 급격히 감소한 때와 일치하였다. 에틸렌 농도는 상온을 제 외한 모든 처리구에서 $7{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ 이하를 보였는데 포장재 두께가 얇은 $25{\mu}m$ 세라믹 필름포장과 $4^{\circ}C$ 저장 처리구에서 낮게 유지되었으며 과실형태별로 유의성 있는 차이나 일정한 경향은 없었다. 저장 최종일에 외관상 품질은 3일간 저장하였던 상온에서 가장 크게 감소하였으며 처리간 차이에 유의성은 없었다, $9^{\circ}C$와 $4^{\circ}C$ 저장에서는 정상과에서 외관상 품질이 높게 유지되었으나 생리장해과와의 차이에 통계적 유의성은 없었다. 저장온도별로 9일간 저장한 $9^{\circ}C$에 비해 12일간 저장한 $4^{\circ}C$에서 높게 유지되었다. 이상의 결과를 종합하면, 착색단고추 과실의 형태 및 품질이 신선편이의 저장성에 큰 영향을 주지 않았으며 저온 장해가 있는 착색단고추 과실이지만 신선편이의 경우 $4^{\circ}C$의 저온이 보다 효과적인 것을 알 수 있었다.

To investigate the influence of the carbon matrix on the electrochemical performance of Si/C composites, four types of Si/C composites were prepared using graphite, petroleum coke, pitch and sucrose as carbon precursors. A ball mill was used to prepare Si/C blends from graphite and petroleum coke, whereas a dispersion technique was used to fabricate Si/C composites where Si was embedded in disordered carbon matrix derived from pitch or sucrose. The Si/pitch-based carbon composite showed superior Si utilization (96% in the first cycle) and excellent cycle retention (70% after 40 cycles), which was attributed to the effective encapsulation of Si and the buffering effect of the surrounding carbon matrix on the silicon particles.
