메조포러스 공극구조를 갖는 광촉매 멤브레인은 다양한 환경기술에 적용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 $TiO_2$ 층을 형성시킨 광촉매 반응기용 세라믹 멤브레인을 개발하고 이를 염색용액 처리에 적용하였다. 높은 공극률과 균질성을 지닌 $TiO_2$ 광촉매층을 그라프트 공중합체를 사용하여 제조하였다. 멤브레인은 광촉매 반응기와 멤브레인 여과를 결합시킨 하이브리드 광촉매 반응기에 성공적으로 적용하였다. 실험결과 정렬된 구조의 $TiO_2$ 층이 $Al_2O_3$ 지지체에 형성되었다. $TiO_2$ 층 형성 후 제조된 세라믹 분리막의 순수 투과도는 형성된 광촉매 층 저항으로 감소하였다. 정렬된 구조의 $TiO_2$ 층은 UV 결합 시 5시간 안에 완벽한 염색용액 분해를 달성시킬 수 있었다. 광촉매 멤브레인의 염색용액 분해는 Langmuir-Hinshelwood 흡착 모델로 잘 설명할 수 있었다. 또한 $TiO_2$ 층이 고정화된 세라믹 멤브레인의 model Congo Red에 대한 1차 속도상수는 $Al_2O_3$ 지지체 단독인 경우에 비해 약 6배 정도 큰 값을 나타내었다(0.0081 vs. $0.0013min^{-1}$).

분획분자량이 50,000인 acrylonitrile과 vinyl chloride의 공중합체 재질의 한외여과막(KOCH Membrane System, HF1-45-CM50)과 분획분자량이 100,000인 polysulfone 한외여과막(KOCH Membrane System, HF1-43-CM100)을 사용하여 순수에 3% 농도로 희석한 수용성 합성 절삭유의 투과특성을 연구하였다. 친수성 분리막인 HF1-45-CM50은 합성 절삭유의 투과실험에서 높은 투과유속과 오일성분 투과율을 보였으나 소수성 분리막인 HF1-43-CM100의 경우에는 오일 투과율은 HF1-45-CM50과 유사하였으나 투과유속은 훨씬 저하되었는데 이는 합성 절삭유가 소수성 막의 표면을 쉽게 적셔서 친수성 막에 비해 더 심한 막오염을 유발시킨다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 분리막 재질의 특성이 합성 절삭유의 투과특성에 미치는 영향이 분리막의 평균 기공크기의 영향보다 훨씬 더 크다는 사실을 알 수 있었다. 막오염을 감소시키기 위해 질소에 의한 역세척 실험을 수행한 결과 역세척 효과가 친수성 분리막에서는 뚜렷이 나타났으나 소수성 분리막의 경우에는 오히려 투과유속의 감소를 초래하였다. 폐합성 절삭유에 의해 오염된 분리막의 세척실험에서는 세척용액에 분리막을 72시간 이상 침지시킨 후 역세척을 수행할때 가장 높은 투과유속의 회복율을 얻을 수 있었다.

PEMFC(고분자 전해질 막 연료전지) cathode 촉매로 Pt-Co/C가 내구성 향상 때문에 최근에 많이 사용되는 추세이다. 연료전지에서 전극과 전해질은 상호 간에 성능과 내구성 면에서 밀접하게 영향을 준다. Pt/C 전극 촉매에서 Pt-Co/C로 대체되었을 때 고분자 전해질막의 전기화학적 내구성에 미치는 영향에 대해서 연구하였다. PEMFC 고분자막의 전기화학적 가속 열화 과정에서 Pt-Co/C MEA(막전극접합체)의 내구성이 Pt/C MEA 내구성보다 높았다. FER (불소유출속도)와 수소투과도를 분석한 결과 Pt-Co/C MEA의 고분자막 열화속도가 Pt/C MEA보다 낮음을 보였다. OCV(개회로전압) holding 과정에서 Pt-Co/C 전극의 활성면적 감소속도가 Pt/C 전극보다 낮고, 고분자막에 석출되는 Pt 양도 Pt-Co/C MEA가 Pt/C MEA보다 작았다. 고분자막 내부의 Pt는 라디칼을 생성해서 고분자막을 열화시킴으로 Pt 석출 속도가 높은 Pt/C MEA의 고분자막 열화속도가 높게 나타났다. Pt-Co/C 촉매를 사용하면 전극 내구성도 향상되고, 고분자막에 석출되는 Pt양도 감소해서 고분자막의 전기화학적 내구성을 향상시켰다.

The coated metallic bipolar plates are getting attractive due to their good feasibility of mass production, low contact resistance, high electrical/thermal conductivity, low gas permeability and good mechanical strength comparing with graphite materials. Yet, metallic bipolar plates for polymer electrolyte membrane(PEM) fuel cells typically require coatings for corrosion protection. Other requirements for the corrosion protective coatings include low electrical contact resistance between metallic bipolar plate and gas diffusion layer, good mechanical robustness, low mechanical and fabrication cost. The authors have evaluated a number of protective coatings deposited on stainless steel substrate by electroplating. The coated metallic bipolar plates are investigated with an electrochemical polarization tests, salt dipping tests, adhesion tests for corrosion resistance and then the contact resistance was measured. The results showed that the selective samples electroplated with optimized method, satisfied the DOE target for corrosion resistance and contact resistance, and also were very stabilized in the typical fuel cell environments in the long-term.

Cytolysin produced by Vibrio vulnificus has been known to be lethal to mice by increasing vascular permeability and neutrophil sequestration in the lung. In the present study, a cytotoxic mechanism of V. vulnificus cytolysin on the neutrophil was investigated. Cytolysin rapidly bound to neutrophils and induced cell death, as determined by the trypan blue exclusion test. V. vulnificus cytolysin caused the depletion of cellular ATP without the release of ATP or lactate dehydrogenase. Formation of transmembrane pores was evidenced by the rapid efflux of potassium and 2-deoxy-D-[$^3H$]glucose from cytolysin-treated neutrophils. It was further confirmed by the rapid flow of monovalent ions in the patch clamp of cytolysin-treated neutrophil membrane. The pore formation was accompanied by the oligomerization of cytolysin monomers on the neutrophil membrane as demonstrated by immunoblot, which exhibited a 210 kDa band corresponding to a tetramer of the native cytolysin of $M_r$ 51,000. These findings indicate that V. vulnificus cytolysin rapidly binds to the neutrophil membrane and oligomerizes to form small transmembrane pores, which induce the efflux of potassium and the depletion of cellular ATP leading to cell death without cytolysis.

Purposes of this study were to evaluate operational performance of submerged membrane bioreactor (MBR) combined with periodic chemical backwash. Five lab-scale submerged MBRs were performed in accordance with NaOH dose, backwash solution volume. While filtration resistance of MBR system without backwash (Control) was increased persistently from startup, those of four MBR systems (RUN 1-4) with chemical backwash were maintained at $(1.4{\pm}0.16){\times}10^{12}$, $(8.6{\pm}0.90){\times}10^{11}$, $(1.9{\pm}0.10){\times}10^{12}$, $(1.4{\pm}0.10){\times}10^{12}l/m$, respectively. Under chemical backwash condition of 0.0230 M, 375 mL, permeability of membrane was highest at flux of $30L/m^2/hr$. According to results from experiment that changing condition of dose and volume, it was estimated that effect of chemical dose acts more greatly than backwash solution volume. Because COD removal rates of all MBR systems with chemical backwash were more than 96%, it was proved that NaOH added to backwash solution did not affect microorganism.

Phospholipids are crucially important in a cell membrane function and could thereby influence antibiotic susceptibility. In order to investigate the antifungal mechanism the total lipid was extracted from C. albicans treated with citronellol or thymol in concentration of their minimum inhibiting concentration and the changes in phospholipids composition were analyzed using ketoconazole as control. The cell growth and total lipid synthesis in cell walls of C. albicans were inhibited by treatment with citronellol. The levels of total lipids were decreased by 35.85% compared to the control. They also showed a significant decrease in the contents of phospholipid, phosphatidylcholine(PC), phosphatidyl ethanolamine(PE) and phosphatidylinositol(PI). As the result of GC assay for total fatty acid methyl esters of PC, PE and PI in C. albicans treated with citronellol, it was found that the major fatty acid composed of three phospholipid were palmitic acid, stearic acid and oleic acid. Moreover, the pattern of the fatty acid compositions of PC, PE and PI were changed by the oil. Based on the results, the anti-Candida mechanism of citronellol or thymol might be closely associated with disrupting the permeability barriers of the fungal cell wall composition or construction.

Ni-based amorphous alloy ribbon was prepared by a single-roller melt-spinning technique. Palladium coating was found to enhance significantly the absorption/desorption behavior of hydrogen in amorphous alloy. The hydrogen permeability of a Pd-coated $(Ni_{60}Nb_{40}){_{100-X}}$TaX(x=5, 10) amorphous alloy was examined in the temperature range of $623{\sim}773K$, comparable with those of $Pd_{60}-Cu_{40}$ alloys. The permeated hydrogen flux was increased with increasing the temperature and the difference of hydrogen pressure between the feed side and permeates side of the membrane. The Ni-based amorphous alloys were characterized by X-ray diffractometry(XRD) and differential scanning calorimetry(DSC). The morphology of surface and roughness was observed by using scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and atomic force microscopy(AFM).

To elucidate the mechanism of gentamicin induced renal dysfunction, renal functions and activities of various proximal tubular transport systems were studied in gentamicin-treated rats (Fisher 344). Gentamicin nephrotoxicity was induced by injecting gentamicin sulfate subcutaneously at a dose of 100 $mg/kg{\cdot}day$ for 7 days. The gentamicin injection resulted in a marked polyuria, hyposthenuria, proteinuria, glycosuria, aminoaciduria, phosphaturia, natriuresis, and kaliuresis, characteristics of aminoglycoside nephropathy. Such renal functional changes occurred in the face of reduced GFR, thus tubular transport functions appeared to be impaired. The polyuria and hyposthenuria were partly associated with a mild osmotic diuresis, but mostly attributed to a reduction in free water reabsorption. In renal cortical brush-border membrane vesicles isolated from gentamicin-treated rats, the $Na^+$ gradient dependent transport of glucose, alanine, phosphate and succinate was significantly attenuated with no changes in $Na^+-independent$ transport and the membrane permeability to $Na^+$. These results indicate that gentamicin treatment induces a defect in free water reabsorption in the distal nephron and impairs various $Na^+-cotransport$ systems in the proximal tubular brush-border membranes, leading to polyuria, hyposthenuria, and increased urinary excretion of $Na^+$ and other solutes.
