Since the various characteristics of the polymer electrolyte membrane are not clearly identified, it is difficult to predict and design applications for various conditions. In this study, as a previous study on the aging of the polymer electrolyte membrane, a study was conducted on the change of mechanical properties according to the aging of the polymer electrolyte membrane. Through the tensile test of Nafion 117, the mechanical properties change due to aging was confirmed. As a result of the tensile test, it was confirmed that the aged Nafion 117 had reduced tensile strength. Through DSC measurement, aged Nafion confirmed that the glass transition temperature and enthalpy change were low, which is thought to be the effect of molecular motion and transition due to the lapse of time. The effect is thought to cause a difference in the amount of change in enthalpy, resulting in a difference in mechanical properties during tension.

전기주석도금용 PSA(Phenolsulfonic Acid Bath)계 전기주석 도금액은 장기간 사용하면 노화되어 도금 전류밀도 범위 축소 및 표면특성 열화현상이 일어나게 된다. 본 연구에서는 도금액 노화 현상의 원인을 축적된 phenolsulfonate농도 증가의 관점에서 조사하였다. 동전위와 정전위 분극실험 결과에서는, phenolsulfonate축적농도 증가에 따른 도금액의 노화 정도가 증가함에 따라 음극분극 초기에 나타나는 한계전류밀도가 점차 낮아지는 현상이 나타났다. Sodium phenolsulfonate를 첨가하여 phenolsulfonate끼 농도만을 조절한 도금액에서도 노화된 도금액과 거의 비슷한 분극 특성이 나타남으로써 도금액 노화의 원인이 축적된 phenolsulfonate임을 간접적으로 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 도금액의 온도가 증가할수록 한계전류밀도가 뚜렷하게 나타나지 않고 도금액 노화에 따른 영향이 적어져서 도금액의 노화는 물질이동과 같은 thermally-activated process의 제약에 의한 것이며, phenolsulfonate가 축적되면서 주석 이온의 mobility를 감소시키고, 따라서 정상적인 도금 반응이 억제되는 것으로 판단된다.

The aim of this study was to investigate relationship among seed viability and enzymes activities involved in scavenging reactive oxygen species (ROS), especially, superoxide dismutase (SOD), glutathione reductase (GR), and catalase (CAT). In other respects, osmopriming has been demonstrated to reinvigorate aged seeds. Various viabilities of seeds that were ranged from 80 to 100% of germination rate could be produced using osmopriming and accelerated aging treatments. Priming treatment of Pinus thunbergii seeds for 3 days at $15^{\circ}C$ with a polyethylene glycol solution at -1.2 MPa improved their subsequent germination at $25^{\circ}C$. Accelerated aging (3, 6, 9, and 12 days at $41^{\circ}C$ and 100% relative humidity) decreased seed germination percentage depending on aging treatment duration. Electrolyte conductivities of seeds were measured as assay of membrane integrity. The conductivity from electrolyte leakage of P. thunbergii seed was also correlated with seed germinability. Conductivity for control seeds that had 95% of germination percentage was 3.48 ${\mu}S\;g^{-1}$, but jumped as doubled (7.98 ${\mu}S\;g^{-1}$) in 12-day-aged seed that had 80% of germination percentage. Our results demonstrate that aging of P. thunbergii seeds is associated with changes in the electrolyte leakage, lipid peroxidation, and antioxidant defense system. Priming of aged seeds progressively restored the initial germinative ability and resulted in a marked decrease in the levels of MDA and conductivity of seed leachate. These effects of priming were also well recovered of GR and CAT activities in aged seed. The improved seed quality by priming treatment appears at least partly attributable to reduced lipid peroxidation, resulting from enhanced antioxidative enzyme activities that are suggesting the antioxidant defense systems play a key role in seed vigor.

리튬이온 제조공정에서 전해질 주입 후 반드시 거쳐야 하는 숙성공정은 일반적으로 별로 중요하게 다루어 지지 않고 있다. 왜냐하면 전지 숙성공정이 전지성능에 영향을 주는 인자에 대하여 그다지 깊이 있게 연구가 되어있지 않기 때문이다. 하지만 숙성공정 중에 나타나는 OCV 변화는 전해질 내에 포함되어 있는 성분이 전극으로 전기화학적 흡착되어 나타나는 현상으로 SEI 피막 형성에 매우 중요한 역할을 하게 된다. 이에 본 연구에서는 숙성기간 중에 변하게 되는 OCV와 SEI피막의 관계, 그리고 전지성능과의 연계에 대하여 깊이 있게 논의하고자 한다.

The responses of soybean seeds were evaluated to accelerated aging and gamma irradiation with regard to germination, seed leakage, seed leachate component and dry weight of hypocotyl and primary root of the germinating seed. Accelerated aging significantly reduced the final germination rate while gamma irradiation increased the final germination rate. Furthermore, the interactive effects occurred that the final germination rate of 5-day aged seeds increased considerably in response to 4 Gy of gamma irradiation. The extent to which the electrolyte was leaked from the seeds (conductivity) was significantly affected by accelerated aging and showed a close negative correlation with the germination rate. Gamma irradiation, however, did not significantly affect the electrical conductivity of seed leachate. The accelerated aging significantly increased the concentrations of the particular electrolytes leaked from the seeds while the gamma irradiation did not affect those concentrations. Of the electrolytes leaked from the seeds, Ca and Mg showed relatively lower concentrations while K showed greater concentrations than others. Moreover, N and P showed similar responses to aging treatment. Aging treatment significantly affected dry weight (DW) of hypocotyls and primary root. Also, gamma irradiation decreased DW of hypocotyls and primary root, particularly for 8 Gy associated with 5 days aging treatment. The data were discussed in terms of the relationships of seed vigor with aging treatment and gamma irradiation.

The objective of this study was to demonstrate whether or not the deleterious effects of accelerated aging on seed vigour and viability are alleviated by interaction with gamma irradiation. Seeds of soybean (Glycine max L.) were artificially aged and subsequently irradiated with 4 and 8 Gy of gamma irradiation. Germination rate was negatively affected by accelerated aging and positively by gamma irradiation, with a positive interaction of a 3day-seed aging treatment occurring with 4 Gy, possibly suggesting that 4 Gy of gamma irradiation partially offset the adverse effects of seed aging on germination. However, 5-day aged seeds did not gain any benefits from the gamma irradiation. Electrolyte leakage from the seeds increased with the duration in days aged. Irradiation, however, did not impose any effects on the leakage. Respiration rate of the seed with hypocotyl and primary root was significantly low for the aged seeds, but not for the seeds with both irradiation and aging treatments. Accelerated aging decreased the dry weight of the hypocotyl and primary root of the seeds without any measurable effects of irradiation. $\alpha$-Amylase activity decreased with seed aging and positively responded to gamma irradiation. The data is discussed with regard to the possible roles of gamma irradiation for improving the seed vigour and viability of aged seeds.

In this study, as one part of the studies on the mechanical properties of the polymer electrolyte membrane, a study was conducted on the change in the mechanical properties due to hydration before and after aging of the polymer electrolyte membrane. The mechanical properties of the polymer electrolyte membrane changes due to hydration were confirmed through tensile tests of hydrated and non-hydrated Nafion 117. As results of this study, non-hydrated membrane showed higher mechanical properties than hydrated thing in the elastic region and some plastic regions. But, it was confirmed that hydrated membrane exhibited higher mechanical properties than non-hydrated thing in the large plastic region. Hydrated membrane has a lower glass transition temperature than non-hydrated thing due to the role of water as a plasticizer. In addition, the number of ion aggregates decreases, but the size increases, and the hydrated Nafion 117 is thought to have different mechanical properties from that of the non-hydrated thing due to the characteristic that the internal attraction is strengthened.

A hybrid supercapacitor (HS) is an energy storage device used to enhance the low weight energy density (Wh/kg) of a supercapacitor. On the other hand, a sudden decrease in capacity has been pointed out as a reliability problem after many charge/discharge cycles. The reliability problem of a HS affects the early aging process. In this study, the capacity performance of a HS was observed after charge/discharge. For detailed analysis of the initial charge/discharge cycles, the charge and discharge curve was measured at a low current density. In addition, a solid electrolyte interphase (SEI) layer was confirmed after the charge/discharge. A HC composed of a lithium titanate (LTO) anode and active carbon cathode was used. The charge/discharge efficiency of the first cycle was lower than the late cycles and the charge/discharge rate was also lower. This behavior was induced by SEI layer formation, which consumed Li ions in the LTO lattice. The formation of a SEI layer after the charge/discharge cycles was confirmed using a range of analysis techniques.
