탄산칼슘의 다형 제어를 목적으로 합성 음료, 의약품 등으로서도 폭넓게 이용되고 있는 ${C_2}{H_4}{OH}$계에서 수산화칼슘을 현탁시키고 감미제, 의약품 등의 용도로서도 이용되고 있는 에틸렌글리콜을 첨가하면서 탄산칼슘 생성 및 탄산칼슘 다형결정화 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 세라믹 bubble plate를 부착 제작한 반응기를 사용하여 $CO_2$gas와 반응 진행시 전기전도도의 연속 측정을 통해 변화시점에서 일부 현탁액을 분리 분말화하여 X선 회절 및 전자현미경을 통해 중가 생성물과 이들이 각각 Vaterite, Aragonite, Calcite로 전이됨을 확인하였다. ${C_2}{H_4}{OH}$에 대한 에틸렌글리콜 첨가를 10 vol%로 하여 500ml의 반응 현탁액에 10~50g의 수산화칼슘 첨가 변화에 따른 생성물을 조사하였다. 결정화단계에서 수산화칼슘 10g 첨가시를 제외하고는 모든 조건에서 겔화(gelation)가 일어나며 그 생성 유지시간은 수산화칼슘 양이 많아질수록 짧아짐을 관찰할 수 있었다. 상온 상압하에서 생성되기 어려웠던 Vaterite가 $Ca(OH)_2$의 30g 첨가반응계에서 구형으로 생성됨을 확인할 수 있었다. 이는 칼슘계, 흡착제 등의 가능성을 부여한 복합재료로서의 Vaterite 합성을 상온 상압화에서${C_2}{H_4}{OH}$ 계에서 다형제어 할 수 있음을 보여주었다. 탄산칼슘의 동질이상중 Vaterite는 준안정상이고 분말화 과정에서 이미 Calcite로 전이되기 쉬우나 G5 glass filter와 vacuum drier를 사용하여 안정적인 구형의 Vaterite을 확인할 수 있었다.

We have fabricated successfully single-filament composite $MgB_2$/SUS tapes, as an ultrarobust conductor type. The fabrication of the $MgB_2$/SUS tapes was performed by power-in-tube (PIT) process such as swaging and cold rolling. The critical transition temperatures $T_{c}$~38.5 K and ~36 K were observed for the sintered and the nonsintered $MgB_2$/SUS tapes, respectively In addition, the isothermal magnetization M(H) of the sintered $MgB_2$/SUS tapes was measured at temperatures T (between 5 and 50 K) in fields up to 6 T, employing a PPMS-9 (Quantum Design). The persistent current density (J$T_{P}$) values were obtained from the M(H) data, using Bean model, fur the sintered $MgB_2$/SUS tapes. The estimated values were higher than ~ 6$\times$ $10^{5}$ $A/\textrm{cm}^2$ at T = 5 K, with H : 0 G. We also investigated the cross section of the sintered tapes, by using SEM and EDX. An evidence of weak reaction on boundary between $MgB_2$ and SUS tube is found in the SEM and EDX.X.X.X.

A solid acid catalyst, NiSO4/CeO2-ZrO2 was prepared simply by promoting ZrO2 with CeO2 and supporting nickel sulfate on CeO2-ZrO2. The support of NiSO4 on ZrO2 shifted the phase transition of ZrO2 from amorphous to tetragonal to higher temperatures because of the interaction between NiSO4 and ZrO2. The surface area of 10-NiSO4/1-CeO2-ZrO2 promoted with CeO2 and calcined at 600 oC was very high (83 m2/g) compared to that of unpromoted 10-NiSO4/ZrO2 (45 m2/g). This high surface area of 10-NiSO4/1-CeO2-ZrO2 was due to the promoting effect of CeO2 which makes zirconia a stable tetragonal phase as confirmed by XRD. The role of CeO2 was to form a thermally stable solid solution with zirconia and consequently to give high surface area and acidity of the sample, and high thermal stability of the surface sulfate species. 10-NiSO4/1- CeO2-ZrO2 containing 1 mol% CeO2 and 10 wt% NiSO4, and calcined at 600 oC exhibited maximum catalytic activities for both reactions, 2-propanol dehydration and cumene dealkylation.

A lab-made chemiluminescence system with air pump was developed for monitoring of some metal levels in rain. The air pump enabled injection of 17.7 $\mu$g samples into a glass cell filled with luminol-$H_2O_2$ reagent of typically 300 $\mu$L for chemiluminescence measurement. The monitored trend of total metal ions in the rain collected in our campus was compared with analytical results of each metal ion from GFAAS. The system was also demonstrated to determine $Cr^{6+}$ by reduction to $Cr^{3+}$ using $SnCl_2$. The limit of detection for $Cr^{6+}$ obtained by 4 measurements was 85.0 pg $mL^{-1}$ with a relative standard deviation of 3.4%. Although this system doesn’t have selectivity due to the characteristics of chemiluminescence, application of it to environmental monitoring as a sensor for some transition metal ions was demonstrated.

A series of fluorinated aromatic poly(hydroxyamide)s (PHAs) were synthesized by direct polycondensation of diacides containing 2,6-dimethylphenoxy group and quinoxaline ring in the main chain with 2,2-bis-(3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane. The PHAs had relatively low inherent viscosities in the range of 0.35~0.43 dL/g at $35^{\circ}C$ in DMAc solution. All PHAs exhibited excellent solubility in aprotic solvents such as NMP, DMAc, DMF and DMSO as well as in common organic solvents such as pyridine, THF, and m-cresol at room temperature. However, the poly(benzoxazole)s (PBOs) were quite insoluble in all organic solvents except partially soluble in concentrated sulfuric acid. The PBOs showed glass transition temperatures between 233 and $284^{\circ}C$ by DSC and maximum weight loss temperatures in the range of $536-546^{\circ}C$ by TGA.

본 연구에서는 화학적 구조가 다른 2종의 dianhydride 단량체인 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracar boxylic dianhydride (PMDA)와 4,4'-(4,4'-isopropylidenediphenoxy)bis(phthalic anhydride) (BPADA) 및 2종의 diamine 단량체인 m-phenylenediamine (m-PDA)와 4,4'-oxydianiline (ODA)의 몰 비를 조절함으로써 9종의 폴리이미드를 합성하였다. 합성된 폴리이미드를 사용하여 casting method로 2층형 Flexible Copper Clad Laminate(FCCL)을 제조한 후, 열적 특성, 흡수율 및 접착력을 평가하였다. 제작된 폴리이미드의 유리전이온도$(T_g)$와 시료가 5 wt% 손실되는 분해 온도를 측정한 결과, m-PDA와 PMDA의 함량이 증가할수록 유리전이온도 및 시료가 5 wt% 손실되는 온도가 증가하였다. 폴리이미드의 흡수율은 ODA와 BPADA가 증가할수록 감소하였다. 이는 ODA와 BPADA의 상대적으로 긴 분자 구조 때문으로 판단된다. 박리 시험을 실시한 결과, ODA와 BPADA의 함량이 증가할수록 접착력이 증가하였다.

Environmental friendly acrylics/urea high-solid paints (BEHCU) were prepared through the curing reaction of acrylics resin(BEHC) containing 70wt% of solids content and butylated urea curing agent. BEHC was synthesized by addition copolymerization of caprolactone acrylate(CLA), 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate(2-HPMA), ethyl methacrylate, and n-butyl acrylate. The addition polymerization of these monomers, especially including flexible CLA monomer and 2-HPMA monomer with OH funtional group, under appropriate reaction conditions resulted in polymers with controlled glass transition temperature($T_g$) and crosslinking density. The molecular weight($M_w$) of these polymers(BEHCs) was 2940${\sim}$3240 and polydispersity ($M_w/M_n$) was in the range of 1.61${\sim}$1.72. The viscosity and the molecular weight of these acrylic resins increased with increasing $T_g$. The coated films were prepared using curing reaction between BEHC resin and butylated urea curing agent at 100$^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes. Our experimental resulted showed that enhancement of the coating properties such as adhesion, flexibility, impact resistance, water resistance, and abrasion resistance could be expected through introducing CLA component in acrylic resin for the high-solid content acrylics/urea coatings.

Clotrimazole (CLT), a potent antifungal drug, is known to inhibit tumor cell proliferation. In the present study, we examined the role of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ in CLT-induced cell cycle arrest of colon adenocarcinoma HT29 cells. CLT inhibited growth of HT29 cells in a concentration-dependent manner, which was associated with inhibition of cell cycle progression at the G(1)-S phase transition and an increase in the expression of cell cycle inhibitor proteins p27 and p53. CLT also suppressed the $Ca^{2+}$ overload by A23187, a calcium ionophore, suggesting its role in modulation of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ concentration in HT29 cells. The simultaneous application of CLT and A23187 with addition of $CaCl_2$ (1mM) to the medium significantly reversed CLT-induced p27 and p53 protein level increase and growth suppression. Our results suggest that CLT induces cell cycle arrest of colon adenocarcinoma HT29 cells via induction of p27 and p53, which may, at least in part, be mediated by alteration of intracellular $Ca^{2+}$ level.

Copolymers of phenyl alkyl acrylates/methacrylates are used clinically as soft materials for the foldable intraocular lens (IOL) to treat cataracts. In this study, copolymers of 2-phenylethyl acrylate (PEA) and 2-phenylethyl methacrylate (PEMA) of various compositions were prepared using free radical polymerization in solution. The composition of the copolymers was determined by $^1H$-NMR analysis. The reactivity ratios of the monomers were calculated using the conventional Fineman-Ross or Kelen-Tudos method. The reactivity ratio of PEA ($r_1$) and PEMA ($r_2$) were estimated to be 0.280 and 2.085 using the Kelen-Tudos method, respectively. These values suggest that PEMA is more reactive in copolymerization than PEA, and the copolymers will have a higher content of PEMA units. The glass transition temperature ($T_g$) of the copolymers increased with increasing PEMA content. The molecular weight and polydispersity indices ($M_w/M_n$) of the polymers were determined by GPC. Overall, these results are expected to be quite useful in applications to foldable soft IOL materials.

The improved photocatalytic performance of a carbon/$TiO_2$ composite was studied for the Bisphenol A (BPA) decomposition. Titanium tetraisopropoxide (TTIP) and a rice husk from Korea were heterogeneously mixed as the titanium and carbon sources, respectively, for 3 h at room temperature, and then thermally treated at $600^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in $H_2$ gas. The transmission electron microscopy (TEM) images revealed that the bulk carbon partially covered the $TiO_2$ particles, and the amount that was covered increased with the addition of the rice husk. The acquired carbon/$TiO_2$ composite exhibited an anatase structure and a novel peak at $2{\theta}=32^{\circ}$, which was assigned to bulk carbon. The specific surface area was significantly enhanced to 123~164 $m^2/g$ in the carbon/$TiO_2$ composite, compared to $32.43m^2/g$ for the pure $TiO_2$. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) results showed that the Ti-O bond was weaker in the carbon/$TiO_2$ composite than in the pure $TiO_2$, resulting in an easier electron transition from the Ti valence band to the conduction band. The carbon/$TiO_2$ composite absorbed over the whole UV-visible range, whereas the absorption band in the pure$TiO_2$ was only observed in the UV range. These results agreed well with an electrostatic force microscopy (EFM) study that showed that the electrons were rapidly transferred to the surface of the carbon/$TiO_2$ composite compared to the pure $TiO_2$. The photocatalytic performance of the BPA removal was optimized at a Ti:C ratio of 9.5:0.5, and this photocatalytic composite completely decomposed 10.0 ppm BPA after 210 min, whereas the pure $TiO_2$ achieved no more than 50% decomposition under any conditions.
