테일러 와류흐름 여과에서 평균기공 1.2 ${\mu}m$인 셀룰로우스 에스테르 정밀막으로 이루어진 내부원통의 회전속도와 슬러리의 농도, 입자의 크기에 따른 여과선속의 변화를 실험을 통하여 알아보았다. 여과선속은 압력차에 비례하고 저항에 반비례하였으며, 시간에 따른 케이크 층의 저항 변화를 회전속도, 슬러리의 농도, 입자의 크기에 따라 검토하였다. 회전속도가 증가할수록 케이크 저항이 감소하고 짧은 시간에 준정상 상태에 도달하였다 슬러리의 농도를 증가시킬수록 초기 저항이 급격히 증가하였고 높은 저항값에서 준정상 상태가 유지되었으나, 준정상 상태에 도달하는 시간은 농도에 무관하였다. 입자 크기가 작을 때 저항이 크게 나타남을 관찰하였는데, 입자 크기가 작을수록 막 기공을 막을 확률이 더 높고 전단력에 의해 영향을 덜 받기 때문이라 생각할 수 있다. 본 연구에서 제안한 모델식은 입자의 퇴적과 제거항으로 나누어져 있는데, 실험상수의 평균값을 사용하여 실험결과와 잘 일치하였다.

The PEMFC behavior is quite complex and is influenced by several factors, including composition and structure of electrodes and membrane type. Fabrication of MFA is important factor for proton exchange membrane fuel cell. MFA of PEMFC with hot pressing and direct coating method were prepared, and performances were evaluated and compared each other. The effect of MEA preparation methods, hot pressing methods and direct coating methods, on the cell performance was analyzed by impedance spectroscopy and SEM. The performance of PEMFC wi th direct coat ing method was better than wi th hot pressing method because membrane internal resistance and membrane-:-interfacial resistance were reduced by elimination of hot pressing process in MEA fabrication. In addition the micro structure of MEA with direct coating method reveals uniform interface between membrane and catalyst layer.

The successful application of cleaning protocols is vital for optimized filtration processes. A series of experiments with an ultrafiltration ceramic tubular membrane were carried out for the foulants dextran and carboxymethyl cellulose. Firstly, the impact on fouling of concentration changes was investigated with the increase in resistance being used as the key parameter. In the second phase, removal of reversible fouling was also investigated by employing intermittent rinsing consisting of a cold water rinse followed by a hot one. A comparative analysis for both foulants is reported. Across a range of concentrations and for both foulants, the reduction in resistance due to rinsing was found to depend upon concentration (C); it changed as $C^n$ where n was found to be 0.3. A plausible semi-theoretical explanation is given. Thirdly, for both foulants, the application of a combination of strong alkaline solutions with oxidizing agent (mainly sodium hypochlorite) followed by acid was found to be appropriate for cleaning of the ceramic membrane. The effect of increased temperature for cleaning agents followed by a warm water rinse contributed positively to the cleaning capability.

막 구조는 형태의 다양성, 막의 가벼움과 내구성, 투광성 및 균질성 때문에 현대 건축물에 다용하게 사용되어 새로운 건축세계를 열어가고 있다. 본 논문은 대공간 건축 구조물에 주로 사용되는 유리섬유 막 재료의 역학적 특성에 대한 연구이다. 현재 주로 사용되는 건축용 막 재료의 종류에는 PVC, PVF, PVDF, PTFE, ETFE 막재들이 있다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 건축용 막재료에 대한 역학적 시험 방법을 정립하고, PTFE 코팅 유리섬유 막재에 대한 인장강도, 인열강도 및 반복하중 시험 등을 실시하여 건축용 막 재료의 역학적 특성을 분석하고자 한다.

Uncoupling proteins (UCPs) are mitochondrial inner membrane proteins that function to dissipate proton motive force and mitochondrial membrane potential. One UCP has been identified in Caenorhabditis elegans (C. elegans), namely UCP-4. In this study, we examined its expression and localization using a GFP marker in C. elegans. ucp-4 was expressed throughout the body from early embryo to aged adult and UCP-4 was localized in the mitochondria. It is known that increased mitochondrial membrane protential leads to a reactive oxygen species (ROS) increase, which is associated with age-related diseases, including neurodegenerative diseases in humans. A ucp-4 mutant showed increased mitochondrial membrane protential in association with increased neuronal defects during aging, and the neurons of ucp-4 overexpressing animals showed decreased neuronal defects during aging. These results suggest that UCP-4 may be involved in neuroprotection during aging via relieving mitochondrial membrane protential. We also investigated the relationship between UCP-4 and innate immunity because increased ROS can affect innate immunity. ucp-4 mutant displayed increased resistance to the pathogen Staphylococcus aureus compared to wild type. The enhanced immunity in the ucp-4 mutant could be related to increased mitochondrial membrane protential, presumably followed by increased ROS. In summary, UCP-4 might have an important role in neuronal aging and innate immune responses through mediating mitochondrial membrane protential.

Optimization of ionomer solution was conducted in order to improve the performance of MEAs in PEMPC. The interface between membrane and electrodes in MEAs is crucial region determining fuel cell performance as well as ORR reaction at cathode. Through the modification of Nafion ionomer content at the interface between membrane and electrodes, an optimal content was obtained with Nafion 115 membranes. Two times higher current density was obtained with the outer Nafion sprayed MEA compared with the non-sprayed one. In addition, the symmetrical impedance spectroscopy mode (SM) exhibited that the resistances of membrane area, proton hydration, and charge transfer decreased as the outer Nafion is sprayed. From the polarization curves and SM, the highest current density and the lowest resistance was obtained at the outer ionomer content of $0.15\;mg\;cm^{-2}$.

In order to evaluate the possibility as a separator in alkaline water electrolysis, the high temperature characteristics were evaluated by measuring the membrane resistance and durability of 5 types of commercial anion exchange membranes in 7 M KOH solution and at 80℃. The membrane resistance of AEM membrane measured in 7 M KOH solution and at 80℃ had a lower value of about 8-24 times compared to the other membranes. The durability of AEM membrane tested with the soaking time in 7 M KOH solution and at 80℃ showed a very good stability and that of FAAM40 and FAAM75-PK showed secondly a good stability. The thermal stability with the soaking time in 7 M KOH solution and at 80℃ of FAAM40 and FAAM75-PK membrane analyzed by thermo-gravimetric analysis showed a good stability compared to the other membranes.

A novel thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) reverse osmosis (RO)/non-woven fabric (NWF) membrane was prepared by adding zinc oxide (ZnO) nanospheres ($30{\pm}10nm$) during the interfacial polymerization process of m-phenylenediamine (MPD) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on self-made polysulfone (PSF) membrane/polyester (PET) non-woven fabric support. The improved performance of TFN RO membrane was verified in terms of water contact angle (WCA), water flux, salt rejection, antifouling properties and chlorine resistance. The results showed that the WCA value of TFN RO surface had a continuous decrease with the increasing of ZnO content in MPD aqueous solution. The water flux of composite TFN RO membranes acquired a remarkable increase with a stable high solute rejection (94.5 %) in $1g{\cdot}L^{-1}$ NaCl aqueous solution under the optimized addition amount of ZnO (1 wt%). The continuous testing of membrane separation performance after the immersion in sodium hypochlorite solution indicated that the introduction of ZnO nanospheres also dramatically enhanced the antifouling properties and the chlorine resistance of composite RO membranes.

막구조 건축물의 시공 증가에도 불구하고 국내에는 내화 및 방화기준이 마련되어있지 않고 일반 건축물의 내화기준을 적용하고 있어 막구조 건축물과 막재료의 특성을 반영하지 못하고 있다. 또한 막구조 건축물의 내화 및 방염성능을 확보하기 위해서는 막재료가 규정된 난연성능을 만족해야 한다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 건축용 막재의 고온에서의 안전성을 확보하기 위해 현무암섬유를 직포로 적용하였다. 그리고 막재의 강도특성과 방염 및 난연특성을 기존의 건축용 막재와 비교, 평가함으로써 막재료의 평가기준에 대한 참고자료로 삼고자 한다. 연구결과, 현무암섬유와 유리섬유 기반의 건축용 막재는 낮은 열방출율과 총방출열량을 나타내 화재안전성이 높은 것으로 확인되었다.
