Double-layered spheres play an important role in controlling drug delivery for pharmaceutical application, because of the low initial burst compared with single-layered spheres and targetable delivery to specific organ. But it has drawback in loading drug and controlling size. In this study, we developed double-layered spheres using relatively simple oil-in-water (O/W) solvent evaporation method witw/without ultrasonication and investigated the size variation of the double-layered microspheres on the contents of poly(lactide- co-glycolide) (PLGA). Double - layered spheres were char-acterized by scanning elecron microscope (SEM), camscope, and confocal fluorescence laser microscope (CFLM). Double-layered spheres showed smooth surfaces and obvious difference between core and corona by SEM observation and camscope. We observed the fluorescent core in the double-walled spheres composed of FlTC-dextran and PLGA using CFLM. It was found that the core of the microsphere was dextran and the corona of the fabricate microsphere was PLGA. Also, the more PLGA concentration, the more the size of the fabricating double-layered sphere observed.

일반적인 유리용융과 열처리법을 이용하여 많은 양의 금속구리 미립자가 분산된 Zinc Phosphate 유리를 제조하였다. 금속산화물로는 Cu$_2$O를, 환원제로는 SnO를 사용하였다. XRD와 전자회절로부터 열처리에 의해 금속구리의 결정상이 석출됨을 알 수 있었고, TEM에 의해 석출상의 크기는 수~20nm 정도임을 알 수 있었다. 또한 570nm에서의 광흡수 피크로부터도 금속구리의 석출을 확인할 수 있었다. 석출입자의 크기와 흡광은 석출을 위한 열처리 온도와 시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. XPS 스펙트럼으로는 구리의 산화상태 중 Cu$^{2+}$ 이온의 상태만을 분명히 할 수 있었다. 매질유리의 BO/NBO의 비는 열처리 전후 크게 변화가 없었으며, 열처리 후 Cu$^{2+}$ 이온이 다소 감소되는 경향을 보였다.

To overcome the main disadvantages of non-viral gene delivery systems such as repeated administration due to the low transfection efficiency, poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) was applied to encapsulate pDNA in its microsphere formulation. Free pDNA or various ratios (w/w) of chitosan/pDNA complexes was used for encapsulation, with the resulting encapsulation efficiency of 44%, 5%, and 8% for free pDNA, 0.7:1 and 1:1 ratios, respectively. Scanning electron micrographs of poly(D,L-lactic-co-glycolic acid) (PLGA) microspheres encapsulating pDNA or chitosan-condensed pDNA revealed a smooth spherical shape immediately after microsphere preparation and a collapsed porous shape in 41 days due to the degradation of PLGA. In vitro release profile showed that the 0.7:1 (w/w) ratio formulation exerted 47% release in 26 days, whereas free pDNA or 1:1 (w/w) ratio formulation did only 15% or 32%, respectively.

Au fine particles dispersed $TiO_{2}$ film was prepared on silica glass substrate by sol-gel dipping and firing process. The $TiO_{2}$ films were fabricated from the system of titanium tetraisopropoxide-EtOH-HCl-$H_{2}O$-hydrogen tetrachloroaurat (III) tetrahydrate. The conditions for the formation of clear solution and dissolving high concentration of Au compound were examined. Photoreduction process was adopted to control the size of gold metal particles. Phase evolution of matrix $TiO_{2}$ and variation of Au particle with UV irradiation were investigated by XRD, SEM, TEM and UV-visible spectrophotometer. The effect of CPCl (Cetylpyridinium chloride monohydrate) as a dispersion agent was evaluated.

Recently high speed mixer, which is mixing, grinding, dispersion for liquid-liquid material, has been widely used several industries such as food, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, fine chemicals, electronic material. This high speed mixer has a core element part called particle separation device. Particle separation device, which makes mixed liquid and liquid material using shear forces from a rotor and a stator, is a decisive factor in the distributed parts. In this study, we examined the velocity distribution of the two models of particle separation device using computation fluid dynamics, so that we were able to see the difference of the velocity distribution according to the shape. Also, by experiment, we observed that the use of rotor-screen type is deemed more suitable in case of accurately considering the effect of improving of the dispersibility through the circulation of the future.

비소로 오염된 토양, 하천 퇴적물 및 광미의 복원할 때, 토양 세척 공정에서 중요한 인자인 비소의 화학적 결합형태와 세척제에 따른 용출특성과 고효율 세척 및 세척액의 재활용도를 높이기 위한 공정을 바탕으로 토양세척장비를 설계하였다. 화학적 결합형태에 있어서 토양은 잔류 결합형태가 주되고, 퇴적물의 경우는 철산화물과의 결합형태가 강하며, 광미는 황화물과의 결합에 따른 잔류형태와 철산화물과의 결합형태가 상당부분을 차지한다. 세척제에 따른 용출특성으로부터, 철산화물과 황화물과 결합하고 있는 비소의 화학적 결합형태를 파괴하면서 비소를 추출할 수 있는 용제로 HCl, Oxalate, EDTA, M$_2$O$_2$를 사용하였다. 추출 결과, 비소가 철산화물과 결합한 형태가 비중이 높을수록 EDTA 나 Oxalate가 효율이 높으며, 황화물에 대해서는 HCl과 $H_2O$$_2$이 상대적으로 높은 추출 효율을 보였다. 구성된 세척조는 밀폐실린더형과 스크류이송형 세척조로 구성되어 각각 혼합교반에 의한 세척과 토양입자 분급에 따른 세척이 가능하다. 세척 공정중 최적 산도 조절이 중요한 인자가 되며, 세척액의 재활용도를 높일때, 세척수에 용해되어 있는 비소 및 중금속과 미립자의 동시 제거를 위한 응집 침전조에서 응집제에 의해서 미립자와 함께 제거하는 응집, 침전 및 분리공정을 배치하였다.

To investigate an effect of phase separation on precipitation characteristics of CuCl nanocrystals in CuCl doped nonlinear optical glasses, borosilicate glass systems with 9 different compositions with ~2wt% of CuCl were selected and CuCl doped glasses were prepared by melting and precipitation method. Microstructural properties of the CuCl doped glasses were analyzed by optical absorption spectroscopy, acid elution test, TEM, and EDXS. While phase separation did not occur in Glass A~D, interconnected and droplet microstructures due to phase separation were found in Glass E, F and Glass G~I, respectively. In the particular composition of the matrix glasses in this study, the precipitation of the CuCl particles was observed in the phase separable glasses, not in phase non-separable glasses. The CuCl particles were precipitated in both silica-rich phase region and boronrich phase region of the glass matrix. In the case of 7.7Na2O-36.6B2O3-52.7SiO2(mole%) glass, the larger CuCl particles than those in the silica-rich phase region were observed in the boron-rich phase region.

Recently, the automobile industry has been faced with very serious problems related to the very restricted regulations of exhaust gas emissions. Therefore many researchers have been attracted to the development of oxygenated fuel for a solution to these problems. This paper deals with the effects of oxygenated fuel on exhaust emissions. An experimental study was conducted to investigate PM and $NO_X$ emission using dimethyl carbonate as an oxygenated fuel in a naturally aspirated DI diesel engine. With increased oxygenated fuel amounts. there were significant reductions in PM, HC and CO emissions mainly from depressed thermal cracking. while little increase in $NO_X$ was encountered concurrently. The effective reduction in PM with oxygenated fuel was maintained with the presence of $CO_2$. which suggested low $NO_X$ and PM obtained from the combination of using oxygenated fuel and cooled EGR. Thermal cracking and an analysis of the heat release rate were also studied in the experiment.
