Abstract: According to embodiments, modeling through evaluation of thermal-hydraulic analysis of a unique containment facility may be provided. Also, orders for nuclear power plants in other countries may be obtained, and a relative technological advantage may be achieved among nuclear power plant developing countries. In addition, a power plant may be designed through conservative and realistic modeling, and costs required for power plant design may be reduced by optimizing a design margin of a containment facility.

Abstract: This application relates to a coating layer composition and a coating layer formed using the coating layer composition. The coating layer composition includes a heat-resistant binder, a hydroxy group-containing polyimide particle, a silane cross-linking agent, and a solvent. The hydroxy group-containing polyimide particle and the functional group-containing silane cross-linking agent form a core-shell structured organic particle in which a core portion is derived from the hydroxy group-containing polyimide particles and a shell portion that is derived from the functional group-containing silane cross-linking agent. The shell portion is on the surface of the core portion in the core-shell structured organic particle. The application also relates to a separator for a rechargeable lithium battery and a rechargeable lithium battery including the separator having a coating layer formed using the coating layer composition.

Abstract: The present invention relates to an ultrathin-film composite membrane based on a thermally rearranged poly(benzoxazole-imide) copolymer and a production method therefor and to a technique for forming a porous support by means of a thermally rearranged poly(benzoxazole-imide)copolymer and then producing, on the porous support, an ultrathin-film composite membrane comprising a thin-film active layer. The ultrathin-film composite membrane produced according to the present invention has excellent thermal/chemical stability and mechanical physical properties, thus is not only capable of withstanding high operating pressure, but also capable of minimizing internal concentration polarization and thereby obtaining high water permeance and, as a result, high power density, and thus can be applied to a pressure-retarded osmosis or forward osmosis process.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a self-humidifying ion-exchange composite membrane including an aromatic hydrocarbon polymer ion-exchange membrane formed on the surface of a porous polymer support and a thin hydrophobic coating layer having a nanocracked morphology pattern on the surface of the ion-exchange membrane. The self-humidifying ion-exchange composite membrane of the present invention has good thermal/chemical stability, high mechanical strength, high ion-exchange capacity, and good long-term operational stability. Particularly, the self-humidifying ion-exchange composite membrane of the present invention is able to self-hydrate even under high-temperature and low-humidity conditions. Due to these advantages, it is expected that the self-humidifying ion-exchange composite membrane of the present invention will be commercialized as an electrolyte membrane for a fuel cell or a membrane for water treatment.
