MBR 공정에서 가장 문제시되는 부분은 실제 공정상에서 막 표면에 오염이 발생하는 문제이다. 일반적으로 막 오염은 활성 슬러지들이 막 표면에 퇴적되어서 일어나며 이로 인해 심각한 투과 유량의 감소를 야기하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 막 오염 저항성이 뛰어난 나노 입자를 분리막 표면에 함침시켜 MBR 막을 제작하였으며 이 입자들은 막 표면에서 활성 슬러지들이 쉽게 달라 붙지 못하는 역할을 수행하게 된다. 즉, 뛰어난 투수량을 지닌 정밀여과막에 나노 입자를 첨가함으로서 실제 MBR 공정에서 막 오염을 저감시킴으로서 투수량을 보전할 수 있게 하였다. 이들을 이용하여 MBR 공정에서 막 오염이 휠씬 적게 일어나는 것을 확인하였으며 이를 바탕으로 현장에 적용하여 막 오염 저항성을 확인하였다.

It is important to know the mechanism of cell membrane fluctuation because it can be readout for the nanomechanical interaction between cytoskeleton and plasma membrane. Traditional techniques, however, have drawbacks such as probe contact with the cell surface, complicate analysis, and limit spatial and temporal resolution. In this study, we developed a new system for non-contact measurement of nano-scale localized-cell surface dynamics using modified-scanning ion-conductance microscopy. With 2 nm resolution, we determined that endothelial cells have local membrane fluctuations of ~20 nm, actin depolymerization causes increase in fluctuation amplitude, and ATP depletion abolishes all membrane fluctuations.

A dense palladium-nikel (Pd-Ni) alloy composite membrane has been fabricated on microporous nickel support mixed with submicron/micron nickel powder instead of mesoporous stainless steel support. Plasma treatment process is introduced as pre-treatment process instead of HCI activation. Pd-Ni alloy composite membrane prepared by electro plating was fairly a uniform and dense surface morphology. The membrane was characterized by permeation experiments with hydrogen and nitrogen gases at temperature 773 K and pressure 2.2 psi. The results showed that hydrogen ($H_2$) permeance was 27 ml/$\textrm{cm}^2$ㆍatmㆍmin and hydrogen/ nitrogen ($_H2$$N_2$) selectivity was 8 at 773 K.

Titanium barrier membranes are prepared to investigate the effect of surface-treatments, such as machining, electropolishing, anodizing, and electropolishing + TiN coating, on the biocompatibility and physical properties of the membranes. The surface roughness (Ra) of the membrane decreases from machining ($0.37{\pm}0.09{\mu}m$), TiN coating ($0.22{\pm}0.09{\mu}m$), electropolishing ($0.20{\pm}0.03{\mu}m$), to anodizing ($0.15{\pm}0.03{\mu}m$). The highest ductility (24.50 %) is observed for the electropolished Ti membrane. No evidence of causing cell lysis or toxicity is found for the membranes regardless of the surface-treatments. Cell adhesion results of L-929 and MG-63 show that the machined Ti membrane exhibits the highest cell adhesion while the electropolished membrane is the best membrane for the L-929 cell proliferation after 7 days. However, no appreciable difference in MG-63 cell proliferation among variously surface-treated membranes is detected, suggesting that the electropolished Ti membrane is likely to be the best membrane due to the synergic combination of tailored flexibility and excellent fibroblast proliferation.

To increase the surface hydrophilicity of PVDF membranes, in this paper, an electric enhancing method was adopted to treat PVDF nascent membranes during the phase inversion process. It was found that when PEG 600 was taken as the additive, the surface water contact angle of the PVDF membrane treated under 2 kV electric field was decreased from $84.0^{\circ}$ to $65.7^{\circ}$. The reason for the surface elements change of the PVDF membranes prepared under the electric field was analyzed in detail with the dielectric parameters of the polymer dope solutions. Results from BSA adsorption experiment showed that the antifouling ability of the external electric field-treated membranes was distinctly enhanced when compared with that of the untreated membranes. The amount of BSA adsorbed by the treated membranes was lower by 38-43%. Compared with the common chemical reaction methods to synthesize hydrophilic additives or membrane materials, the electric field-assisted processing method did not involve any additional chemical synthesis process and it was capable of realizing better hydrophilicity.

방향족 폴리아미드 역삼투 복합 박막에 트리알콕시알킬 실란 화합물을 안정적으로 정착시켜 내염소성이 향상된 복합막을 제조하는 방법에 관하여 조사하였다. 실란 화합물의 알킬 그룹의 탄소가 1개인 methyltriethoxysilane (METES)와 8개인 octyltriethoxysilane (OCTES) 표면 개질에 사용하였다. 긴 알킬 체인을 갖는 실란(OCTES)이 정착된 멤브레인의 경우, 일반 폴리아미드 역삼투막 또는 짧은 알킬 체인을 갖는 실란(METES)에 비해 개염소성이 크게 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 표면 분석을 통하여 OCTES 코팅막과 METES또는 상용막과의 내염소성 차이를 설명하고자 하였다. EDX 원소 분석을 통하여 실란 화합물 둘 다 폴리아미드상에 안정적으로 고정되었음을 볼 수 있었으나 표면 조도나 접촉각 분석에서는 긴 알킬 체인을 가진 OCTES가 혐수성에 큰 영향을 주고 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Lotus leaf has a special dual micro and nano surface structure which gives its highly hydrophobic surface characteristics and so-called self cleaning effect. In order to endow PVDF hollow fiber membrane with this special structure and improve the hydrophobicity of membrane surface, PVDF hollow fiber composite membranes was obtained through the immersion coating of poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene) (PVDF-HFP) dilute solution on the outside surface of PVDF support membrane. The prepared PVDF composite membranes were used in the vacuum membrane distillation (VMD) for the desalination. The effects of PVDF-HFP dilute solution concentration in the dope solution and coating time on VMD separation performance was studied. Membranes were characterized by SEM, WCA measurement, porosity, and liquid entry pressure of water. VMD test was carried out using $35g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NaCl aqueous solution as the feed solution at feed temperature of $30^{\circ}C$ and the permeate pressure of 31.3 kPa. The vapour flux reached a maximum when PVDF-HFP concentration in the dilute solution was 5 wt% and the coating time was kept in the range of 10-60 s. This was attributed to the well configuration of micro-nano rods which was similar with the dual micro-nano structure on the lotus leaf. Compared with the original PVDF membrane, the salt rejection can be well maintained which was greater than 99.99 % meanwhile permeation water conductivity was kept at a low value of $7-9{\mu}S{\cdot}cm^{-1}$ during the continuous testing for 360 h.

화학반응이 주로 고온에서 일어나기 때문에 polymer membrane의 화학반응에의 적용은 거의 없었으며, 연구의 대부분은 열적 안정성이 좋은 inorganic membrane reactor에 대하여 이루어져 왔다. 산 및 산화환원 촉매로써의 12-텅스토인산은 반응물의 종류에 따라 특이한 흡착 특성을 보이며, 헤테로폴리산만이 지니는 특징적인 surface, bulk 특성 때문에 바능물의 종류에 따라 반응은 촉매의 surface and/or bulk에서 일어난다. 무기 축합산인 12-텅스토인산이 지니는 또 하나의 특징은 물, 알콜, ether 같이 산소를 포함하는 organic solvent에 매우 잘 녹는다는 사실이다.

Surface modification is very efficient and scalable approach to achieve improved membrane performance. We treated Reverse Osmosis Thin Film Composite (TFC RO) membrane with various concentrations of Polyethylene Glycol (PEG), a hydrophilic polymer after activation with sodium hypochlorite. This treatment resulted in an increment of the water flux by 43% and the salt rejection by 2.36% for the 3000 mg/l PEG-treated membrane. Further, these PEG-treated membranes were exposed to a mixture of 3000 mg/l PEG and 1000 mg/l sodium hypochlorite for 1 hour. Further modification of this membrane by PEG and sodium hypochlorite mixture increased the water permeance up to 133% when compared with the virgin TFC RO membrane. We characterized the treated membranes to understand the changes in wettability by contact angle analysis, changes in surface morphology and roughness by scanning electron microscope (SEM) and atomic force microscope (AFM) analysis.

To improve the blood compatibility of cellulose membrane, 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl-2-(trimethylammonium)ethyl phosphate(MTP), which is a methacrylate with phospholipid polar group, and glycidyl methacrylate(GMA) were grafted simultaneously on the surface of membrane and the biocompatibility of grafted membrane was investigated. There was no difference of permeability between the MTP and GMA-grafted and the original cellulose membrane. The permeation pathway for a solute whose molecular weight was above 10$^{4}$ is maintained after grafting on the surface of membrane. The cellulose membrane grafted with MTP and GMA effectively suppressed thrombogenicity for the rabbit blood. This effect became more clear with increasing the surface distribution of phospholipid polar groups.
