Ruthenium catalysts modified by selenium have been introduced as alternative materials to Pt in Direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). RuSe nano-particles were synthesized on the Vulcan XC72R carbon supports via polyol method. The prepared catalysts were electrochemically and physically characterized by cyclic voltammetry (CV,) linear sweep voltammetry, methanol tolerance test, X-ray diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Energydispersive Spectrometer (EDS) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). Increasing the Se concentration up to 20 at % increased the electro-catalytic activity for the oxygen reduction. By increasing Se amount, Ru metallic form on the surface was increased. The $Ru_{80}Se_{20}$/C catalysts showed the highest oxygen reduction reaction (ORR) activity and outstanding methanol tolerant property in half cell tests as well as single cell test.

건축용 내외장재로 사용되는 도자타일은 최근에 오염 방지 기능에 대한 시장의 수요에 따라, $TiO_2$ 코팅을 통한 친수성(hydrophilic property) 표면개발 연구와 더불어 표면에서 물방울의 흐름성을 향상시켜 오염물질을 제거하는 소수성(hydrophobic property) 표면을 갖는 도자타일에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 추가적인 코팅 공정 적용 없이 $1000^{\circ}C$ 이상의 소결 과정을 통해서 소수성을 갖으며, 기존 도자타일의 기계적 물성의 저하가 나타나지 않는 표면유약의 개발이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 상용화 도자타일의 표면유약에 조성에 구리 분말을 첨가하여 기존 소결 공정을 적용하고, 추가 코팅 공정 없이 소수성 도자타일을 제작하고 표면유약의 두께에 따른 접촉각 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 구리 분말이 첨가되지 않은 도자타일의 표면 접촉각은 $25^{\circ}$로 친수성을 보이는 반면에 구리 분말이 첨가된 표면유약이 $150{\mu}m$ 두께인 경우에 접촉각이 $109^{\circ}$까지 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 구리 분말이 첨가된 표면유약의 우수한 소수성 발현은 유약 표면에서 구리 입자의 세포 구조(cellular structure) 분포에 의한 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 개발된 소수성 도자타일의 기계적 물성(꺽임강도, 내화학성, 내마모성, 내동해성)은 기존 도자타일과 거의 동일하고 'KS L 1001 도자타일'의 기준을 만족하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

It has been shown that ion implantation produces remarkable improvements in surface-sensitive physical and chemical properties as well as other mechanical properties, in polymers. In this study, ion implantation was performed onto polymer, PC(polycarbonate), in order to investigate surface hydrophilic property through contact angle measurement using distilled water. PC was irradiated with N, Ar, Xe ions at the irradiation energy of $20\;{\sim}\;50keV$ and the dose range of $5{\times}10^{15},\;1{\times}10^{16},\;7{\times}10^{16}\;ions/cm^2$. The contact angle of water has been reduced with increasing fluence and ion mass but increased with increasing implanted energy. The changes of chemical and structural property are discussed in view of infrared spectroscopy and FT-IR, XPS, which shows increasing C-O bonding and C-C bonding. The root mean square of surface roughness examined by means of AFM changed smoothly from 0.387nm to 0.207nm and the change of wettability was discussed with respect to elastic and inelastic collisions obtained as results of TRIM simulation. It was found that wettability of the modified PC surface was affected on change of functional group and nuclear stopping or linear energy transfer(LET, energy deposited per unit track length per ion) that causes chain scission by displacing atom from polymer chains, but was not greatly dependant on surface morphology.

활성탄소섬유(Activated carbon fiber, ACF)의 비표면적을 향상시키는 대표적인 방법은 알칼리금속을 이용한 화학적 활성화(Chemical activation, CA)와 산화제를 이용한 표면처리(Surface treatment, ST)방법이 있다. 알칼리금속을 이용한 CA 공정은 열처리 과정에서 알칼리금속의 화학반응에 의하여 미세기공이 발달되며, ST 공정은 산화제의 산화력에 의하여 표면의 미세기공을 발달시킨다. 본 연구에서는 대표적인 표면개질 방법인 CA 공정의 효과를 증대하기 위하여 전처리로 ST 공정을 수행하였으며, ST 공정 유무에 따라 CA된 ACF의 특성변화를 관찰하였다. ST 및 CA 유무에 따른 ACF 특성을 조사하기 위하여 무게변화, FT-IR, TGA, 원소분석을 수행하였으며, 대표적인 VOC물질인 톨루엔을 이용하여 흡착특성을 평가하였다. 실험결과 초기 raw ACF의 비표면적과 톨루엔 흡착량은 각각 1,483 $m^2/g$, 0.22 $g_{-Tol.}/g_{-ACF}$였으며, CA 처리시 1,998 $m^2/g$, 0.27 $g_{-Tol.}/g_{-ACF}$로 증가하였고, ST된 ACF를 CA 처리한 경우 2,743 $m^2/g$, 0.37 $g_{-Tol.}/g_{-ACF}$로 증가하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 ST 및 CA 결합공정을 통한 ACF의 표면특성을 증가를 확인하였다.

본 연구에서는 마이크로 기공의 중공구를 유기 고분자 수지와 복합화한 유/무기 하이브리드 물질을 제조하여 우수한 단열 성능을 갖는 코팅유리를 개발하고자 하였다. 유기 고분자 물질로는 투명성과 접착성이 우수한 6관능기의 우레탄 아크릴레이트(UP118), 3관능기의 trimethylolpropane triacrylate (TMPTA), 2관능기의 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate (HDDA), 광 개시제(Irgacure184) 등으로 구성된 자외선 경화형 수지를 사용하였다. 유리 및 실리카 중공구를 고분자 수지에 각각 10~40 vol%까지 첨가하여 얻어진 코팅 졸을 투명유리에 바(bar)코팅 방식으로 박막을 형성시킨 후 자외선 경화를 통해 최종 코팅유리를 제조하였다. 마이크로 중공구의 종류 및 함량이 제조된 코팅유리의 광 투과율, 열전도도, 접착성 및 표면 경도에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 복합물 코팅유리는 중공구가 과량 첨가되어도 우수한 접착성(5B)을 유지하였으며, 단열 성능은 각 중공구가 20 vol%만 함유되어도 뚜렷하게 향상된 결과를 나타냈다. 또한 실리카 중공구(SP)를 단열 재료로 사용하였을 경우 광 투과율 80 %의 투명 코팅유리를 얻을 수 있었다.

This study deals with the analysis of color-difference and physical property of anti-corrosion coatings using at inside of concrete tank for drinking water. Because anti-corrosion coatings are effected by chemical attack, color and physical property are changed. So in this study when epoxy resin coatings of 3 types were received chemical attack by Cl- and NaOH, we present the co-relationship between color-difference and bond strength. For this study, we used the colorimetry, which can measure the degree of color difference on surface of materials. As the results, in case of Cl-, color change is appeared, bond strength also is decreased. From this experiment, we could know that color change due to chemical aging has the deep relationship with physical performance(bond strength) materials. further researches are needed.

$TiO_2$ nanopowder was synthesized by chemical vapor condensation (CVC) process and its photocatalytic property depending on microstructure was considered in terns of decomposition rate of organic compound. In order to control microstructure of $TiO_2$ nanopowder such as particle size and degree of agglomeration, precursor flow rate representing number concentration was changed as a process variable. In TEM observation, spherical $TiO_2$ nanoparticles with average size of 20 nm showed gradual increases in particle size and degree of agglomeration with increase of precursor flow rate. Also decomposition rate of organic compound increased with decreasing precursor flow rate. Thus, it was concluded that photocatalytic property was enhanced by targe surface area of disperse $TiO_2$ nanoparticles synthesized at lower precursor flow rate condition in CVC process.

The mechanism of micro machining of reacted layer on silicon surface were proposed. The depth of reacted layer and the change of mechanical property were measured and analyzed. Depth of hydrated layer which is created on the surface of silicon by potassium hydrate was analyzed with SEM and XPS. The decrease of the micro victors hardness of silicon surface was shown with the increase of the concentration of potassium hydrate and the change of the dynamic friction coefficient by chemical reacted layer was measured due to the readiness of machining. The experiment of groove machining was done with 3-axis machine with constant load. With chemical mechanical micro machining the surface crack and burrs generated by both brittle and ductile micro machining were diminished. And the surface profile and groove depth was shown in accordance with the machining speed and reaction time with SEM and AFM.

Image analyser was used to understand the condition of skin surface and to evaluate the efficacy of cosmetic treatment. It was unsatisfactory to analyse skin surface structure although several methods using image analyser had been presented. We developed the new system composed of image analyser and Tandem Scanning Reflected Light Microscope (TSRLM) having the remarkable optical sectioning property as image input device. By using this new system, we quantitatively measured the change of skin surface, the depth and width of furrow in micron unit, resulted by cosmetic treatments. And also three dimensional image of skin was reconstructed with serial sectioned images, which were captured through TSRLM, for better understanding of the effect of cosmetic treatment. It was found that skin relief was more easily understood and the change of skin surface caused by cosmetic treatment was more accurately measured by using this system. In addition, we was also aware of the possibility of in vivo direct measurement of skin furrow without replica. It was conceivable that our system could be applicable for study of cosmetic effects further.

Poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) tire cord has relatively lower adhesion properties caused by limited reacting sites. In order to improve the adhesion force between PET tire cord and rubber, an additional process to activate surface of PET has been employed. Atmospheric plasma was used to substitute the chemical finishing process of PET tire cord as a green dipping process. Contact angle was measured to confirm surface change of PET after plasma treatment. The treated PET tire cords with/without resorcinol-formaldehyde-latex(RFL) and unvulcanized rubber were vulcanized in a testing mold at $160^{\circ}C$. After atmospheric plasma treatment of PET tire cord, adhesion force was somewhat increased under some conditions.
