Abstract: Proposed are a contrast agent containing an iodinated unsaturated fatty acid ethyl ester derived from vegetable oil, a non-iodinated unsaturated fatty acid ethyl ester, and sulfur dioxide (SO2), and a production method thereof. The contrast agent having a similar contrast effect is synthesized using vegetable oil as a substitute for poppy seed oil, which is unstable in terms of supply and is expensive. In addition, the long-term stability problem of an iodine-based contrast agent is solved by adding a non-iodinated unsaturated fatty acid ethyl ester and sulfur dioxide.

Abstract: Provided are a polymer membrane that includes a porous polymer matrix and an acryl-based polymer infiltrated in pores of the porous polymer matrix, a method of preparing the same, and a fuel cell using the polymer membrane. The polymer membrane effectively decreases a crossover phenomenon of a fuel cell.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a slurry-type coating solution for cation-conducting polymer composite membranes that is capable of producing cation-conducting polymer composite membranes with high ionic conductivity as well as low methanol permeability and low ohmic resistance when used in direct-methanol fuel cells, via pluralization of solvents and use of specific additives. The coating slurry comprises about 1 to about 10 parts by weight of a sulfonated clay, about 100 parts by weight of a cation exchange group-containing polymer, and a co-solvent consisting of a high-boiling point solvent with a boiling point of about 180 to about 250° C. and a low-boiling point solvent with a boiling point of about 100 to about 180° C.
