The purpose of this study was to investigate the curing effect of visible light through tooth substance, 0.5mm, 1.0mm thickness of enamel and dentin were prepared. Experimental specimen were made by Bisfil M & Silux packing into cylindrical brass mold 6.0mm in diameter, 2.0mm and 3.0mm, in height. All specimen were irradiated by visible light (Grip type) model No. SDL-50 Shofu Co.) for 30 seconds through tooth substance. Experimental groups were classified into enamel group (group 1) and dentin group (group 2) according to the thickness of tooth materials and then were divided into 2 subgroups (0.5mm group and 1.0mm group). In experimental groups, visible light irradiated to the specimen through either 0.5mm in thick or 1.0mm in think of tooth material. In Control group specimen were prepared by direct irradiation on the specimen surface of visible light without through tooth substance. The hardness was measured with a Barcol hardness tester (Barber-Colman Co. U.S.A.) for each prepared specimen. The results were as follows: 1. In control group, there were higher hardness values than those of in experimental group. 2. In experimental groups, 0.5mm groups had higher hardness values than 1.0mm groups did. 3. The hardness value at top surface of the specimen were higher than the hardness of bottom surface in each group. 4. Bisfil M had higher hardness values than Silux. 5. In all specimen of 3.0mm height polymerization effect was not occurred at bottom surface except Bisfil M in control group.

Some characteristics of $SnO_2$ film which was deposited on a slide glass substrate, using dibutyl tin diacetate and oxygen, by the chemical vapor deposition were observed. The optimum condition for the preparation of the film was found to be at 420$^{\circ}C$ of substrate temperature for 20 min of deposition. Important optical, electrical, and structural features of the film were examined. It was found that the typical $SnO_2$ film on the untreated substrate was 4000${\AA}$ in thickness, transmitted 90% of the visible liglit, and provided 5800 ohms/${\square}$ of the sheet resistance. It was also found that the surface treatments of the slide glass by acid leaching were beneficial. The film structure was found to be a mixture of polycrystalline tetragonal stannic oxide confirmed by the X-ray diffraction and to be spherical fine grains concluded by the scanning electron microscopy.

Recently, silver has been applied to various fields due to antimicrobial property and high conductivity. We manufactured high-performance ophthalmic material containing silver which could protect eye from environmental factors. We mixed $AgNO_3$ with conventional contact lens material. And then we copolymerized at 70 ${^{\circ}C}$ for 40 minutes under water bath, and estimated antimicrobial activity and physical properties. We used solid culture and liquid culture medium for antimicrobial test. The results of contact lens containing silver showed good antibiosis. In case of physical properties, the results showed 32.35%(water content) and 88.34% (visible transmittance) for each. We judged that we made the copolymer with antimicrobial and physical properties which is suitable for conventional contact lens.

Chitosan, a natural polymer, has been importantly considered as biomedical materials due to its good biocompatibility and various bio-active characteristes. Water soluble chitosan was then copolymerized EGDMA(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate; used as a cross-linking agent for the free-radical copolymerization), MMA (methylmethacrylate), MA (methacrylic acid) in the presence of AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) as a radical initiator. The water content and visible transmissibility, ultimate strength of copolymerized ophthalmic polymer were measured to be 24$\sim$59%, 88$\sim$89% and 0.1$\sim$2.4 Kgf, respectively. And also, we tested for antimicrobial activities against staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They showed that in case of antimicrobial activities, the values including chitosan were much higher than that of the polymers of no including chitosan, suggesting that the copolymer can be used as a novel ophthalmic material of high performance.

This study used glycerol dimethacrylate with the cross-linker EGDMA (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), MMA (methyl methacrylate), MA (methacrylic acid) and the initiator AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) for copolymerization. Measurement of the physical properties of the copolymerized polymer showed that the water content was 22~32%, refractive index was 1.442~1.463 and visible ray transmittance 90.0~90.5% while the contact angle showed a distribution between 56 and $65^{\circ}$. Also, the measurement showed that the decreased amount of contact angle of the copolymer measured using the sessile drop method ranged between $9.89^{\circ}$ and $18.99^{\circ}$ with increase of glycerol dimethacrylate. Based on the results of this study, the produced copolymer is suitable for use as a material to high wettability ophthalmic lenses.

We prepared $TiO_2$ thin films by electron-beam evaporation at various oxygen pressures, and investigated their optical and structural properties as a function of the annealing temperature. The physical properties of the $TiO_2$ thin films depend upon the injection oxygen content. With the increased injection of oxygen, the phase transformation temperature and the transmittance of $TiO_2$ thin films in the range of visible wavelength were increased. For low injection of oxygen, the absorption edges of $TiO_2$ thin films were more red-shifted when annealed at temperatures from $700^{\circ}C$ to $1100^{\circ}C$.

Regulation of Visible Light Transmission Percentage (VLT%) has been argued because it was known that the degree of darkness of tinted vehicle can affect to driving maneuver. Previously, it was proven that low level of VLT affects capacity reduction. But, due to lack of field data they could not analyze the effect of Car-Following model parameters. This study focuses on the effect of a tinted vehicle on following traffic flow. RTK GPS receiving data through field experiment analyzed based on headway distance, acceleration noise, sensitivity, and reaction time. As a result of analysis through GM 1st Model and 3rd Model, influence of following vehicle vary inversely with VLT and risk according as tinting of lead vehicle is third vehicle bigger than second vehicle. Also the results patterns of GM 3rd model include distance-headway are same with GM 1st Model. In the further need to research for influence analysis of traffic flow stability by the level of VLT.

The change of the nitrogen-related centers and the color change of electron beam irradiated type Ia natural diamonds were studied. The irradiation of diamond with high-energy electron beam creates lattice defects which are neutral single vacancy $V^0$. It increased with increasing electron dose density. The B aggregation seems to produce vacancies more easily than the A aggregation, because diamonds with more B aggregation have more platelets, which are sufficient breakable size by electron beam. Greenish blue color of irradiated diamond is changed to darker with increasing electron dose density. GR1 centers with a zero-phonon line at 741 nm and phonon sidebands make transmit visible light at 530 nm and it moves to 500 nm with higher intensity of GR1 centers.
