In this study, we investigate the deposition characteristics of merocyanine dye(MD) Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) film using quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The MD optical system mixed with fatty acid was fabricated using LB method. And their optical characteristics were investigated using UV spectroscopy. The optical behavior of MD LB film was investigated asto thermal treatment. The resonant frequency and admittance was measured during dissociation of J-aggregate of MD LB film. As a result, it has been suggested that the J-aggregate dissociation in MD LB film by thermal treatment give rise to transformation of oscillation characteristics of quartz crystal.

We review the evolution of electrochemical studies of conducting polymers into the current state-of-the-art based primarily on our work. While conventional electrochemical experiments sufficed for the needs in the phase of studies of both electrochemical synthesis and characterization of conducting polymers, developments of various new experimental techniques have led to their introduction to this field for more refined information. As a result, the conventional electrochemical, spectroelectrochemical, electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance, impedance, and morphological as well as electrical characterization studies all made important contributions to a better understanding of the polymerization mechanisms and the conductive properties of these classes of polymers. From this review, we hereby expect that the electrochemical techniques will continue to play important roles in bringing this field to the practical applications such as nanoscale electronic devices.

위성체 개발에 있어서 지상에서 위성체의 부품에 대한 고온($85^{\circ}C$ 이상)과 고진공($5.0{\times}10-3Pa$ 이하)의 상태를 모사하여 오염물질을 제거하는 베이크아웃 시험이 필수적이다. 일반적으로 베이크아웃 시험의 종료여부는 TQCM (Thermoelectric Quartz Crystal Microbalance)을 이용한 탈기체(outgassing)의 흡착률을 측정하여 결정한다. 측정된 흡착률을 통해 시험 대상 표면에서 발생하는 탈기체량을 추정할 수 있으며, 결국 시험 대상의 우주 부품으로써의 적합성을 판단할 수 있다. TQCM을 적용하지 못하는 경우, 베이크아웃 시험 종료여부를 판단하기 위해 잔류가스분석기(Residual Gas Analyzer: RGA)를 활용하는 것을 고려하였다. 베이크아웃 시험 중 잔류가스분석기를 활용하여 시편에서 방출되는 오염물질을 측정하였으며, 그 중 측정량이 가장 많은 40-45 amu 범위의 측정값 추이를 관찰하여, 베이크아웃 시험 종료조건 수립 가능성을 검토하였다.

The suspended particulate matters had been collected by a cascade impactor having 9 size fragnated stages for 2 years (Dec. 1989 to Nov. 1991) in Kyung Hee University-Suwon Campus. The particulate matters were then collected on each stage by membrane filters. The weight concentration on each stage was estimated by a microbalance and further chemical element concentrations were determined by an XRF system. The study focused on developing of a receptor model using the TTFA (target transformation factor analysis) to apportion aerosol mass with the 30 ambient data sets. Each data set consists of the 8 size-ranged subdata sets characterized by 13 element variables. Even though a couple of sources could not be identified, three to five sources were extracted from each aerosol size-range, and then 9 statistical source profiles were generated. Finally, source contribution of particulate matters on each size-range could be estimated in Suwon area.

In this paper, the electrochemical behavior of Viologen self assembly monolayer has been investigated with QCM, which has been known as nano-gram order mass detector. The self assemvly process of Viologen was monitored using resonant frequency $({\Delta}F)$ and resonant resistance(R). QCM measurements indicated a mass adsorption for Viologen assembling on the gold sufrace with a frequency change about 135[Hz] and calculated its surface coverage($\Gamma$) to be $3.5273{\times}10^{-9}[mol/cm^{2}]$. Also reversible redox process was observed and analyzed with ionic interaction at the Viologen/solution interface using ${\Delta}F$.

It is well known that the metallo-phthalocyanines (MPcs) are sensitive to toxic gaseous molecules such as NO$_2$ as well as are chemically and thermally stable. Therefore, lots of MPcs have been studied as the potential chemical sensor for NO$_2$gas using quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) or electrical conductivity. In this study, thin films of octa(2-ethylhexyloxy)copper-phthalocyanine were prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett method and characterized by using UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy and ellipsometry. Optimal transfer condition of LB films was investigated and preliminary results of current-voltage(I-V) characteristics of these films exposed to NO$_2$gas as a function of film thickness, temperature and concentration were discussed.

Liposomes and proteoliposomes, artificial membranes, can interact with many solutes, such as drugs, peptides and proteins. Immobilization of (proteo)liposomes as supramolecular aggregates on gold surfaces have potential applications in nanotechnology and biosensors. We demonstrate a quartz crystal analyzer (QCA) method to monitor the construction of multi layers of unilamellar liposomes based on avidin-biotin binding on gold surface using quartz crystal microbalance(QCM). Thus, QCA provides an on line and efficient method to detect the protein membranes construction and have applications to biosensing system.

An in-situ monitoring technique for deposition process of CdS buffer layer was developed in this work. A quartz crystal microbalance (QCM) was used to measure the frequency change during the CdS deposition process and the relation ship between frequency change and film thickness and optical transmittance was investigated. The film thickness shows a linear relationship with frequency change, demonstrating that frequency change measured by QCM can be used a in-situ monitoring tool for CdS deposition process.

Protein immobilization on a gold surface plays an important role in the usefulness of biosensors that utilize gold-coated surfaces such as surface plasmon resonance (SPR), quartz crystal microbalance (QCM), etc. For developing high performance biosensors, it is necessarily required that immobilized proteins must remain biologically active. Loss of protein activity and maintenance of its stability on transducer surfaces is directly associated with the choice of immobilization methods, affecting protein-protein interactions. During the past decade, a variety of strategies have been extensively developed for the effective immobilization of proteins in terms of the orientation, density, and stability of immobilized proteins on analytical devices operating on different principles. In this review, recent advances and novel strategies in protein immobilization technologies developed for biosensors are briefly discussed, thereby providing an useful information for the selection of appropriate immobilization approach.

We reported the fabrication and thermal cross-linking of the LB files on porous substrates. The monolayers of the polymers which polyion-conplexed with PAA at the air-water interface can be transferred onto solid substrates such as porous fluorocarbon membrane filter and quartz crystal microbalance. The properties of the monolayers and the LB films investigated by $\pi$-A isothem, FT-IR, and SEM will be discussed. In addition, it was attempted to investigate the reaction of polymer LB films in the organic gas surrounding by the use of LB technique.
