Sulfur-cured gum natural rubber vulcanizates were devulcanized using two different concentrations of diallyl disulfide. The devulcanization process was performed at $110^{\circ}C$ min in an open two-roll cracker-cum-mixing mill. Natural rubber vulcanizates having various sulfur/accelerator ratios were used to study the cleavage of monosulfide, disulfide, and polysulfide bonds. The properties of devulcanized natural rubber increased upon increasing the disulfide concentration and the mechanical properties of the revulcanized natural rubber increased upon decreasing the sulfur content in the original rubber vulcanizates. The scorch time and the maximum state of cure both increased when the ground vulcanizates were treated with higher amounts of disulfide. TGA and DMA were conducted to study the effects of the devulcanization on the thermal stability and the $T_g$ behavior of the vulcanizates. SEM analysis was conducted to study how the failure mechanism was affected by the devulcanization process. It was possible to recover $70-80\%$ of the original gum rubber properties by using this process. From IR spectroscopic analysis, we observed that the oxidation of the main chains did not occur during high-temperature milling.

We analyzed the interface characteristics of Zn-based thin-film buffer layers formed by a sulfur thermal cracker on a $Cu(In,Ga)Se_2$ (CIGS) light-absorber layer. The analyzed Zn-based thin-film buffer layers are processed by a proposed method comprising two processes - Zn-sputtering and cracker-sulfurization. The processed buffer layers are then suitable to be used in the fabrication of highly efficient CIGS solar cells. Among the various Zn-based film thicknesses, an 8 nm-thick Zn-based film shows the highest power conversion efficiency for a solar cell. The band alignment of the buffer/CIGS was investigated by measuring the band-gap energies and valence band levels across the depth direction. The conduction band difference between the near surface and interface in the buffer layer enables an efficient electron transport across the junction. We found the origin of the energy band structure by observing the chemical states. The fabricated buffer/CIGS layers have a structurally and chemically distinct interface with little elemental inter-diffusion.

Kimchi power made by kimchi fermentation and freeze-drying was added to Western foods of sauce, soup, pizza, cracker and bread. Flavor qualities of the processed fusionfoods were evaluated by analyzing volatile compounds and sensory evaluation. The optimum condition of kimchi fermented for the best flavor quality of freeze-drying was the ranges of pH4.0${\sim}$pH4.7 and acidity 0.5${\sim}$0.8. The number of volatile compounds identified from extracts of the freeze-dried kimchi powder was 24, which contained 7 alcohols, 5 esters, 5 acids, 3 sulfur-containing compounds, 2 aldehydes, 1 oxygen-containing and 1 other. Among the identified compounds, the most abundant compound was eugenol(39.40%), followed as the order of dodecanoic acid(4.91%), acetic acid(1.70%), methyl 2-propenyl disulfide(1.52%), hexanal(1.51%) and 2-pentylfuran(1.18%). These compounds affected the flavor quality of kimchi powder.

불화실리콘산($H_2SiF_6$)과 질산알루미늄의 혼합 수용액을 주형으로 사용되는 $C_{16}TMABr$(cethyltrimethylaminonium bromide)용액에 첨가하여 불화실리콘산의 hydrolysis 반응에 의해서 메조포러스 분자체(Al-MMS)를 합성하였다. 합성된 분자체를 분석한 결과 비표면적이 $981m^2/g$이고, 기공 크기가 $39{\AA}$ 부근에서 균일함을 보이는 메조포러스 분자체가 합성되었으며, $NH_3$-TPD 결과 산의 세기가 크지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 합성된 담체가 납사분해 잔사유에 포함되어 있는 방향족 화합물의 수소화 반응에 대한 촉매 담체로써 적용 가능한가를 조사하기 위해서 Pt 및 Pd의 금속 성분을 담지시킨 후, 납사 분해 잔사유에 많이 포함되어 있는 방향족 화합물인 나프탈렌을 모델화합물로 정하고 나프탈렌의 수소화 반응에 대한 온도별 전환율, 반응속도 상수, 활성화 에너지를 조사하였다. 또한, 다른 메조포러스 담체와 상용담체를 이용하여 촉매를 제조한 후 같은 방법으로 비교하였다. 그 결과 PtPd/Al-MMS 촉매가 우수한 탈방향족 활성과 황저항성을 나타내었으며, 다른 메조포러스 담체 및 상용 담체와 비교한 결과 활성이 우수하게 나타났다. 실제 납사분해 잔사유의 일종인 PGO(pyrolized gas oil)를 원료로 실험해 본 결과 활성이 우수하게 나타났으며 Pd/Al-MMS 촉매는 납사분해 잔사유에 포함된 방향족 화합물의 수소화 촉매로써 응용 가능성을 보였다.
