As an example of research activities in decontamination for decommissioning, new data are presented on the options for corrosion layer dissolution during the decommissioning decontamination, or persulfate regeneration for decontamination solutions re-use. For the management of spent decontamination solutions, new method based on solvent extraction of radionuclides into ionic liquid followed by electrodeposition of the radionuclides has been developed. Fields of applications of composite inorganic-organic absorbers or solid extractants with polyacrylonitrile (PAN) binding matrix for the treatment of liquid radioactive waste are reviewed; a method for americium separation from the boric acid containing NPP evaporator concentrates based on the TODGA-PAN material is discussed in more detail. Performance of a model of radionuclide transport, developed and implemented within the GoldSim programming environment, for the safety studies of the LLW/ILW repository is demonstrated on the specific case of the Richard repository (Czech Republic). Continuation and even broadening of these activities are expected in connection with the approaching end of the lifespan of the first blocks of the Czech NPPs.

Organic-inorganic composite membranes based on sulfonated poly(phthalazinone ether sulfone) (sPPES)/silica hybrid were prepared using the sol-gel process under acidic conditions. The sulfonation of PPES with concentrated sulfuric acid as sulfonation agent was carried out to prepare proton exchange membrane material. The behaviors of the proton conductivity and methanol permeability are depended on the sulfonation time (5-100 hr). The hybrid membranes composed of highly sulfonated PPES (IEC value: 1.42 meq./g) and silica were fabricated from different silica content (5-20 wt%) in order to achieve desirable proton conductivity and methanol permeability demanded for fuel cell applications. The silica particles within membranes were used for the purpose of blocking excessive methanol cross-over and for forming the path way to transport of the proton due to absorbing water molecules with ≡SiOH on silica. The presence of silica particles in the organic polymer matrix results in hybrid membranes with reduced methanol permeability and improved proton conductivity.

현재 이용되는 막들은 대부분 유기계 혹은 고분자계로 열적인 안정성이 적고 내약품성이 낮다. 그래서 본 실험에서는 내열, 내약품성이 우수한 무기기와 유기기를 조합하여 복합막을 제조하려 시도하였다. 이때 유-무기 복합상의 반응은 졸-겔 법을 이용하였는데 이 졸-겔 법이란 출발물질인 금속알콕사이드를 용액상에서 가수분해하여 졸을 얻고 축합반응을 통해 겔을 형성하여 무기고분자를 제조하거나 소결하여 필름, 분말, 섬유상, 괴상 등의 다양한 형태로 산화물을 제조하는 공정이다. 이는 분자적 차원에서 혼합하여 반응하므로 산화물간의 반응보다 반응성의 입장에서 훨씬 유리하며 또한 용액상에서 저온반응 하므로 기존에는 유기-무기기를 조합하는데 존재하는 문제를 해결 할 수 있다.

본 연구는 접지저감제의 성분으로 수용성 고분자의 유기물과 층상형 점토의 무기재료를 주재료하여 새롭게 개발한 새로운 형태의 접지저감제의 성능비교에 관한 것이다. 신개발의 접지저감제는 수분을 흡습하여 수분에 용해된 수용성고분자가 수분과 함께 층상형점토의 층으로 삽입되어 접지저감 성능을 발휘하게 된다. 본 연구의 유 무기 복합재료형 접지저감제는 함수율과 팽창률이 매우 우수할 뿐 아니라 300wt%의 수분을 공급 후 측정한 전기전도도도 매우 뛰어나다. 또한 환경친화적인 천연재료들이므로 인체나 환경에 매우 안전하며, 접지전극의 부식과 전식을 방지하는 기능이 매우 뛰어나 염해나 화학적으로 부식성이 높은 토양에서 큰 장점을 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 신개발의 접지저감제와 기존의 여러 접지저감의 성능을 비교 분석하였다. 이를 위해 현장의 대지저항율을 측정 분석하여 각각의 접지저감제의 접지설계에 적용하여 시뮬레이션하였으며, 시뮬레이션 결과와 현장에서 실제 시공한 측정 결과와 비교 분석하였다.

Over the past two decades, the electrochemical supercapaictors are receiving growing attention due to their possible applications as power backup in electronic equipment and electrical vehicles. Both of amorphous cobalt oxide and manganese dioxide were prepared by sol-gel process reported in our previous work. Nano-structured supramolecular oligomer of 1,5-diamino anthraquinone(DAAQ) coated metal oxides were successfully prepared by electrochemical oxidation from an acidic non-aqueous medium. We established process parameters of the technique for the formation of nano-structured materials. Furthermore, improved the capacitive properties of the nano structured metal oxide electrodes using controlled solution chemistry. $CoO_2$ and $MnO_2$-based composite electrode showed relatively good electrochemical behaviors in acidic electrolyte system with respect to specific capacity and scan rate dependency

Recently, high growth potential of barrier materials industry including high performance packing materials was expected with increasing the national income and well-being culture. As high barrier materials, polymer nanocomposites have considerable attractions due to their excellent physical properties compared to conventional composite materials. In general, polymer nanocomposites were consisted of polymer matrix and inorganic fillers, such as layered silicate, carbon nanotubes, and metal- or inorganic nanoparticles. Among these materials, layered silicate which was called as the clay was usually used as nano-fillers because of naturally abundant and most economical and structural properties. Clay-reinforced polymer nanocomposites have various advantages, such as high strength, flammability, gas barrier property, abrasion resistance, and low shrinkage and used for automotive and packing materials. Therefore, in this paper, we focused on the need of gas barrier materials and materials-related technologies.

It is known that the fluoric resin has the most outstanding properties in the extremely acidic environment of high temperature. However, this resin is the thermal hardening type that needs long time heat treatments above $250^{\circ}C$. It's impossible to use in situ in the extremely acidic environment such as a huge FGD ductworks or industrial chemical tanks. Furthermore, even the natural hardening type fluoric coatings which can be hardened less than $120^{\circ}C$ can not be applied to the highly acidic environmental plants because of its chemical resistance. In this study, new fluoric coatings that has excellent thermal resistance, chemical resistance and corrosion resistance has been developed in order to solve above problems and to be applied to the large plant structures in the field. These newly developed coatings are organic and inorganic composite type that have fluoric rubber(100 wt%), fluoric resin(5~50 wt%), oxalates(5~30 wt%), inorganic fillers mixed with plate-type and bulk-type solids(20~150 wt%), hardeners(0.5~5 wt%), and hardening hasteners(0.1~3 wt%). The best chemical and physical properties of these coatings are acquired by variation of adhesive reinforcement agents, dispersants, leveling agents. Mixing ratios of plate-type and bulk-type inorganic fillers influence the thermal properties, abrasive resistance and chemical infiltration properties of coatings. The mixing control is also very important to have homogeneous surface and removing inner voids of coatings.

Ionic Liquid (IL) in the category of low-temperature molten salts with organic cation and organic/inorganic anion has shown great potentiality in CO₂ gas separation. CO₂ gas separation from flue gas by IL based membrane has been widely researched in recent years to overcome climate change and global warming. Membranes based on free standing polyionic liquid (PIL), blend of ionic liquid and composite ionic liquid membranes are discussed in this review. Introducing different IL monomers and tuning microstructure of PIL membrane and composite of PIL-IL to enhance mechanical properties of membranes with good CO₂ gas permeability and selectivity. Variations in cation and anions of monomer has great impact on the membrane gas separation performance.
