아클릴계 점착제는 주로 용제를 사용하여 제조되어 왔으나 용제의 사용에 따른 화재의 위험성과 환경적인 부작용으로 인해 점차 법률적으로 규제의 대상이 되고 있음에 따라 용제를 사용하지 않는 수계 에멀젼 중합을 이용한 제조 방법이 중요하게 대두되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $40^{\circ}C$의 반응기에 methacrylic acid(MAA), n-butyl acrylate(n-BA), 그리고 2-ethylhexyl acrylate(2-EHA) 등 3가지 종류의 단량체를 사용하여 유화 중합을 수행하였으며, 실험에 사용된 계면활성제는 음이온 계면활성제로 sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS), 비이온 계면활성제로 ethylene oxide 계통을 사용하였다. 실험 결과 혼합 계면활성제 시스템에서의 전환율이 단일 계면활성제 시스템에서의 전환율보다 더 높게 나왔으며, 비이온 계면활성제만을 사용한 유화중합은 안정성이 떨어져 상 분리가 일어났다. 반면에 음이온 계면활성제 또는 혼합 계면활성제를 사용한 유화 중합 시스템은 매우 안정한 상태를 유지하여 12주 이상의 저장 안정성을 보였다. 혼합 계면활성제 시스템에서 에멀젼 입자는 비이온 계면활성제 시스템 비해 작은 크기를 가지며, 계면활성제의 양이 증가할수록 입자 크기는 감소하였다. 계면활성제의 형태와 사용량, 그리고 혼합 비율 등은 에멀젼 입자의 Tg와 분자량에 거의 영향을 미치지 않았다. 실험 결과를 종합하여 보면, 50개의 침수성기를 가지고 소수성 chain의 탄소수가 16~18인 비인온 계면활성제를 40~60% 정도 사용한 약 4 g 정도의 혼합 계면활성제 시스템이 에멀젼의 안정성과 접착력에서 가장 최적의 제조 조건임을 알 수 있었다.

Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute The observation of particles and waves using a single satellite inherently suffers from space-time ambiguity. Recently, such ambiguity has often been resolved by multi-satellite observations; however, the inter-satellite distances were generally larger than 100 km. Hence, the ambiguity could be resolved only for large-scale (> 100 km) structures while numerous microscale phenomena have been observed at low altitude satellite orbits. In order to resolve those spatial and temporal variations of the microscale plasma structures on the topside ionosphere, SNIPE mission consisted of four (TBD) nanosatellites (~10 kg) will be launched into a polar orbit at an altitude of 700 km (TBD). Two pairs of satellites will be deployed on orbit and the distances between each satellite will be from 10 to 100 km controlled by a formation flying algorithm. The SNIPE mission is equipped with scientific payloads which can measure the following geophysical parameters: density/temperature of cold ionospheric electrons, energetic (~100 keV) electron flux, and magnetic field vectors. All the payloads will have high temporal resolution (~ 16 Hz (TBD)). This mission is planned to launch in 2020. The SNIPE mission aims to elucidate microscale (100 m-10 km) structures in the topside ionosphere (below altitude of 1,000 km), especially the fine-scale morphology of high-energy electron precipitation, cold plasma density/temperature, field-aligned currents, and electromagnetic waves. Hence, the mission will observe microscale structures of the following phenomena in geospace: high-latitude irregularities, such as polar-cap patches; field-aligned currents in the auroral oval; electro-magnetic ion cyclotron (EMIC) waves; hundreds keV electrons' precipitations, such as electron microbursts; subauroral plasma density troughs; and low-latitude plasma irregularities, such as ionospheric blobs and bubbles. We have developed a 6U nanosatellite bus system as the basic platform for the SNIPE mission. Three basic plasma instruments shall be installed on all of each spacecraft, Particle Detector (PD), Langmuir Probe (LP), and Scientific MAGnetometer (SMAG). In addition we now discuss with NASA and JAXA to collaborate with the other payload opportunities into SNIPE mission.

[ $(Ba_{0.5}Sr_{0.5})_{0.99}Co_{x}Fe_{1-x}O_{3-{\delta}}$ ] [x=0.8, 0.2](BSCF) powders were synthesized by a Glycine-Nitrate Process (GNP) and the electrochemical performance of the BSCF cathode on a scandia stabilized zirconia, $[(Sc_{2}O_3)_{0.11}(ZrO_2)_{0.89}]-1Al_{2}O_3$ was investigated. In order to prevent unfavorable solid-state reactions between the cathode and zirconia electrolyte, a GDC ($Gd_{0.1}Ce_{0.9}O_{2-{delta}}$) buffer layer was applied on ScSZ. The BSCF (x = 0.8) cathode formed on GDC(Buffer)/ScSZ(Disk) showed poor electrochemical property, because the BSCF cathode layer peeled off after the heat-treatment. On the other hand, there were no delamination or peel off between the BSCF and GDC buffer layer, and the BSCF (x = 0.2) cathode exhibited fairly good electrochemical performances. It was considered that the observed phenomenon was associated with the thermal expansion mismatch between the cathode and buffer layer. The ohmic resistance of the double layer cathode was slightly lower than that of the single layer BSCF cathode due to the incorporation of platinum particle into the BSCF second layer.

Background: Concrete activation in cyclotron vaults is a major concern associated with their decommissioning because a considerable amount of activated concrete is generated by secondary neutrons during the operation of cyclotrons. Reducing the amount of activated concrete is important because of the high cost associated with radioactive waste management. This study aims to investigate the capability of the neutron absorbing materials to reduce concrete activation. Materials and Methods: The Particle and Heavy Ion Transport code System (PHITS) code was used to simulate a cyclotron target and room. The dimensions of the room were 457 cm (length), 470 cm (width), and 320 cm (height). Gd₂O₃, B₄C, polyethylene (PE), and borated (5 wt% ^natB) PE with thicknesses of 5, 10, and 15 cm and their different combinations were selected as neutron absorbing materials. They were placed on the concrete walls to determine their effects on thermal neutrons. Thin B₄C and Gd₂O₃ were placed between the concrete wall and additional PE shield separately to decrease the required thickness of the additional shield, and the thermal neutron flux at certain depths inside the concrete was calculated for each condition. Subsequently, the optimum combination was determined with respect to radioactive waste reduction, price, and availability, and the total reduced radioactive concrete waste was estimated. Results and Discussion: In the specific conditions considered in this study, the front wall with respect to the proton beam contained radioactive waste with a depth of up to 64 cm without any additional shield. A single layer of additional shield was inefficient because a thick shield was required. Two-layer combinations comprising 0.1- or 0.4-cm-thick B₄C or Gd₂O₃ behind 10 cm-thick PE were studied to verify whether the appropriate thickness of the additional shield could be maintained. The number of transmitted thermal neutrons reduced to 30% in case of 0.1 cm-thick Gd₂O₃+10 cm-thick PE or 0.1 cm-thick B₄C+10 cm-thick PE. Thus, the thickness of the radioactive waste in the front wall was reduced from 64 to 48 cm. Conclusion: Based on price and availability, the combination of the 10 cm-thick PE+0.1 cmthick B₄C was reasonable and could effectively reduce the number of thermal neutrons. The amount of radioactive concrete waste was reduced by factor of two when considering whole concrete walls of the PET cyclotron vault.

When domestic sewage and rainwater runoff are discharged into a single sewer pipe, it is called a "combined sewer system." The sewage design standards in Korea specify the flow velocity based only on the volume of rainfall; therefore, sedimentation occurs on non-rainy days owing to the reduced flow rate and velocity. This sedimentation reduces the discharge capacity, causes unpleasant odors, and exacerbates the problem of combined sewer overflow concentration. To address this problem, the amount of sewage on non-rainy days, not just the volume of rainfall, should also be considered. There are various theories on sedimentation in sewer movement. This study introduces a self-cleansing velocity based on tractive force theory. By applying a self-cleansing velocity equivalent to the critical shear stress of a sand particle, sedimentation can be reduced on non-rainy days. The amount of sewage changes according to the water use pattern of citizens. The design hourly maximum wastewater flow was considered as a representative value, and the velocity of this flow should be more than the self-cleansing velocity. This design method requires a steeper gradient than existing design criteria. Therefore, the existing sewer pipelines need to be improved and repaired accordingly. In this study, five types of improvement and repair methods that can maximize the use of existing pipelines and minimize the depth of excavation are proposed. The key technologies utilized are trenchless sewer rehabilitation and complex cross-section pipes. Trenchless sewer rehabilitation is a popular sewage repair method. However, it is complex because the cross-section pipes do not have a universal design and require continuous research and development. In an old metropolis with a combined sewer system, it is difficult to carry out excavation work; hence, the methods presented in this study may be useful in the future.

Dual-frequency (DF) capacitively coupled plasmas (CCP) are used to separately control the mean ion energy and flux at the electrodes [1]. This separate control in capacitively coupled radio frequency discharges is one of the most important issues for various applications of plasma processing. For instance, in the Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition processes such as used for solar cell manufacturing, this separate control is most relevant. It principally allows to increase the ion flux for high deposition rates, while the mean ion energy is kept constant at low values to prevent highly energetic ion bombardment of the substrate to avoid unwanted damage of the surface structure. DF CCP can be analyzed in a fashion similar to single-frequency (SF) driven with effective parameters [2]. It means that DF CCP can be converted into SF CCP with effective parameters such as effective frequency and effective current density. In this study, comparison of DF CCP and its converted effective SF CCP is carried out through particle-in-cell/Monte Carlo (PIC-MCC) simulations. The PIC-MCC simulation shows that DF CCP and its converted effective SF CCP have almost the same plasma characteristics. In DF CCP, the negative resistance arises from the competition of the effective current and the effective frequency [2]. As the high-frequency current increases, the square of the effective frequency increases more than the effective current does. As a result, the effective voltage decreases with the effective current and it leads to an increase of the ion flux and a decrease of the mean ion energy. Because of that, the negative resistance regime can be called the preferable regime for solar cell manufacturing. In this preferable regime, comparison of DF (13.56+100 or 200 MHz) CCP and SF (60 MHz) CCP with the same effective current density is carried out. At the lower effective current density (or at the lower plasma density), the mean ion energy of SF CCP is lower than that of DF CCP. At the higher effective current density (or at the higher plasma density), however, the mean ion energy is lower than that of SF CCP. In this case, using DF CCP is better than SF CCP for solar cell manufacturing processes.

폐수 처리장의 방류수에 페놀을 첨가한 후 terminal restriction fragment length polymorphism (T-RFLP) 방법을 이용하여 세균군집의 구조와 변화를 조사하였다. 시료로부터 얻은 16S rRNA gene은 eubacterial primer로 증폭하였으며, 한 primer는 5'말단에 biotin을 부착하였다. 증폭된 product는 HaeIII와 AluI으로 각각 절단하였고, 절단된 단편 중에서 terminal restriction fragment (T-RF)를 streptavidin paramagnetic particle을 이용하여 분리하였다. 분리된 T-RF는 전기영동과 silver staining을 통하여 확인하였다. 본 실험의 유용성을 검증하기 위하여 표준 균주 10 균주를 대상으로 실험하였고, 균주마다 특징적인 T-RF를 가지는 것과 그 크기가 Ribosomal database project (RDP) 자료로부터 계산된 결과와 일치하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 한편, 대조군으로 사용된 페놀을 첨가하지 않은 방류수 시료에서는 Acinetobacter, Bacillus, Pseudomonas 속 등이 우점종을 차지하고 있었고, 페놀 (최종농도 250mg.$l^{-1}$)을 첨가한 방류수 시료에서는 Acinetobacter, Comamonas, Cytophaga, Pseudomonas 속 등이 우점종을 차지함을 알 수 있었다. Gel에서 분리한 Acinetobacter와 Cytophaga에 해당되는 T-RF는 재증폭 및 염기 서열 분석이 가능하였는데, database의 염기서열과 비교한 결과 Acinetobacter junii와 유연관계가 가깝다는 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 폴리피롤로 개질된 Nafion 막에 직접적으로 백금촉매를 담지하는 방법을 제시하고 PEMFC로의 응용을 검토하였다. 개시제로 $FeCl_3$ 및 $Na_2S_2O_8$을 사용하여 피롤을 Nafion 막에 중합하였다. 제저된 PPy/Nafion 복합체 막의 양이온 전도도와 함수율을 측정한 결과, $Na_2S_2O_8$을 사용하여 제조된 복합체 막은 피롤 중합시간이 증가할수록 양이온 전도도와 함수율은 감소하였고, $FeCl_3$의 경우 함수율은 감소하지만 양이온 전도도는 유지되었다. 폴리피롤로 개질된 Nafion 막에 백금 촉매를 화학적 환원법에 의해 함침한 결과, 폴리피롤의 전자 전도성 특성에 의해 백금 담지가 향상됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한 Pt/PPy/Nafion 전극촉매와 확산 전극으로 구성된 MEA를 단위 연료전지 성능평가를 행한 결과, 0.3 V의 전위에서 $569mA/cm^2$의 전류밀도 값을 갖는 연료전지 성능을 얻을 수 있었다.

M-type 바륨 페라이트(BaFe12O19)분말을 공침법을 이용하여 합성하였다. 출발물질의 조성은 $Fe^{3+}:\;Ba^{2+}$ 몰 비를 8로 고정하고 $Fe^{3+}$와 $Ba^{2+}$의 상대적인 양을 조절하였다. 열처리 방법과 pH의 차이에 의한 자기적 성질과 결정구조, 입자형상의 변화를 XRD(XRay Diffractometer), FESEM(Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope), VSM(Vibrating Sample Magnetometer)을 이용하여 조사하였다. pH가 8이고 $Fe^{3+}:\;Ba^{2+}$의 비가 12 : 1.5 일 때 가장 큰 보자력 값을 얻었다. pH가 8일 때는 $Fe^{3+}$와 $Ba^{2+}$의 상대적인 양과 열처리 조건에 따라 보자력과 포화 자화 값의 변화가 크게 나타났다. 이것은 바륨 페라이트로 전이가 안 된 $\alpha$-$Fe_2O_3$ 상 때문이다. pH가 10일 때는 열처리 조건과 $Fe^{3+}$와 $Ba^{2+}$의 양과 상관없이 단일 상 M-type 바륨 페라이트를 얻을 수 있었으며 우수한 자화 값과 보자력을 나타내는 분말을 얻을 수 있었다. $Fe^{3+}$와 $Ba^{2+}$의 비가 13.6 : 1.7일 때 가장 큰 자화 값(55.7 emu/g)을 얻을 수 있었으며, 산소분위기에서 열처리 후 노냉한 분말이 높은 보자력과 자화 값을 나타내었다. FESEM으로 관찰된 입자의 크기는 50~200 nm이었다.

초음파분무열분해법과 한 단계의 후열처리로 이차상이 없는 Al이 첨가된 $Li(Ni_{1/3}Co_{1/3}Mn_{1/3-x}Al_x)O_2$ (x=0.0, 0.005, 0.01. 0.05) 리튬이차전지용 양극활물질을 합성하였다. 합성된 분말은 Al의 첨가량이 많아짐에 따라서 $I_{003}/I_{104}$ 비는 감소하고 입자가 커지는 경향을 보였다. 상온에서 전류밀도 1C의 rate로 $3.0\sim4.5V$ 범위에서 충방전 시험한 결과, Al 치환량이 0.5와 1.0 at%에서는 초기용량이 180과 $184mAhg^{-1}$으로 치환하지 않았을 때의 $182mAhg^{-1}$과 차이가 없었으며, 싸이클 특성도 치환하지 않은 것과 0.5, 1.0 at% 치환한 조성에서 각각 81, 77, 81%의 방전용량이 유지되었다. 그러나 $3.0\sim4.6V$에서는 치환효과가 확실하게 나타나서, 50 싸이클 후의 치환하지 않은 것의 방전용량은 초기용량의 30%가지 감소한데 비하여 Al을 0.5 at% 치환한 것은 70%를 유지하였다. 치환에 의한 싸이클 특성 향상은 XPS 분석 결과 Al 치환이 $Mn^{3+}$의 양을 감소시켰기 때문인 것으로 사료되었다.
