Effects of modification of silver nanoparticles on the polymerization rate and morphology of poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)/silver microspheres prepared by suspension polymerization of MMA were investigated. The silver nanoparticles and their surface hydrophilicity played an important role in the polymerization rate and the morphology of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA)/silver microspheres. The polymerization rate increased slightly with modified silver nanoparticles. PMMA/silver microspheres with conversion up to 85% were obtained in spite of the low polymerization temperature. Due to the change of hydrophilicity of silver nanoparticles, different appearances of the microspheres having golf ball-like convex surfaces or concave surfaces were observed. As the hydrophilicity of silver was decreased, stable nanocomposites were prepared.

In this study, microstructure and mechanical properties and electrical conductivities of in situ Cu-Fe-Xi(Xi=Ag, Cr or Co) alloy wires obtained by cold drawing combined with intermediate heat treatments have investigated. During cold working the primary and secondary dendrite arms are aligned along the drawing direction and elongated into filaments after deformation processing. The addition of Ag was found to be more effective in reducing the microstructural scale at the given draw ratio than that of Co or Cr throughout the drawing processing. The ultimate tensile strength and the conductivity of the Cu-Fe based composites containing Ag were higher than those of Cu-Fe composites containing Co or Cr. The good mechanical and electrical properties of Cu-Fe-Ag wires may be associated with the more uniform distribution of the finer filaments in the wires containing silver. The strength of Cu-Fe-Xi composites is dependent on the spacing of the Fe filaments in accord with a Hall-Petch relationship. The fracture surfaces of all the specimens showed ductile-type fracture and iron filaments occasionally observed on the fracture surfaces.

If human skin is exposed to high concentrations of particulate matter (PM_2.5 and PM₁₀) for a long time in the outdoor environment such as subway tunnel, it will be adversely affected. In particular, fine particles can damage the skin, causing inflammation and allergic reactions. This study investigated the ability of evening primrose root (EEPR) extract to suppress the skin damages caused by the fine particles. PM was collected from a subway tunnel, where high concentrations have been reported per day over the course of a study. The EEPR had higher antioxidant activity than that of control group (62.6%). The mixture of EEPR and PM inhibited the production of nitric oxide (NO), thereby alleviating skin inflammation caused by fine particle dust. EEPR had weaker cytotoxic activity than the positive control. When cells were exposed to particulate-type dust (PM₁₀), the levels of free radicals were decreased with the increased concentrations of the extract (5, 10, 20 ㎍/mL). While at the same time more effective than positive controls. Therefore, this study proved that the Moonlight flower root extract can be used as a cosmetic material for skin by providing an effect to alleviate skin damage caused by fine particle-type dust.

최근 정보·전자산업의 발전으로 고 신뢰성 전자재료에 대한 수요가 증대되고 있으며 이러한 첨단산업의 기반의 될 신소재 중 전자세라믹스가 차지하는 비중이 그 대부분을 차지하고 있으며 이에 대한 수요와 기대가 점점 커지고 있다. 이러한 전자세라믹스는 유전재료, 자성재료, 압전재료, 도전성 재료 등으로 나뉘게 된다. 어떠한 분류에 들어가든 그 조성은 금속의 산화물 형태가 일반적이며 미세한 분말의 성형체를 소결(sintering) 함으로써 최종제품으로 완성된다. 이러한 전잣라믹스가 최근 요구되는 고 신뢰성, 고 밀도화를 달성하기 위해선 원료 분말 제조단계부터 제어가 필요하다. 원료분말의 균일·균질성과 그 입도는 소결특성 뿐만아니라 전기적 특성에도 큰 영향을 미치기 때문이다. 세라믹스의 분말제조 방법 중 일반적으로 사용되는 방법으로는 고상 산화물을 혼합하여 하소(calcination)한 후 분쇄하는 '고상합성법'과 금속의 염 또는 alkoxide 용액을 이용하여 화학적으로 제조하는 '습식 화학적 합성법'이 있다. 고상합성법은 합성온도가 높고 기계적 분쇄와 혼합에 의존하므로 균일·균질성이 떨어지고 분말크기를 1㎛ 이하로 만들기 힘들다. 반면에 습식화학적 합성법은 기계적인 분쇄와 혼합에선 얻을 수 없는 원자 혹은 분자단위의 균일한 혼합과 submicron 이하의 미세한 분말을 얻을 수 있다. 따라서 이러한 습식 화학적 합성으로 얻은 분말을 사용하면 미세한 입자의 특성으로 인해 소결온도를 낮출 수 있으며 균일한 미세구조와 균질한 조성을 갖게되어 기계적·전기적 물성증진도 가져올 수 있게 된다. 습식 화학적 분말합성법은 전술하였듯이 alkoxide의 가수분해를 이용하는 sol-gel 법과 금속의 염(salt) 용액을 이용하여, 화학적으로 화합물 침전을 얻거나 또는 공침전물(coprecipitate) 형태의 분말을 얻는, 침전법으로 나뉠 수 있다. 침전법의 근본원리는 pH 및 pCO3 등에 따른 이온종의 용해도 차이를 이용하는 것으로써 각 이온종에 따른 solubility product(ksp)를 이용하여 설명된다. 본 연구에서는 침전법을 사용한 Ba-, Pb-계 전자세라믹스의 분말합성에 대한 이론적 고찰과 공정개발 및 실험을 통한 물성증진 효과에 대해 알아보았다. 본 실험상의 전자세라믹스 조성은 강유전체, 세라믹반도체, 압효과에 대해 알아보았다. 본 실험상의 전자세라믹스 조성은 강유전체, 세라믹 반도체, 압전재료로 널리 사용되는 BaTiO3, PZT(PbZrO3-PbTiO3)와 수직 자기기록매체로 큰 가능성이 있으며 hard ferrite로 널리쓰이는 Ba-feerite(BaFe12O19)로써 수산화물 형태의 침전에 대한 기구(mechanism)와 물성에 대해 살펴보았다. 이러한 침전법에 의한 분말합성 과정에는 소결체의 물성에 영향을 미치는 pH 조절제나 원료에서 혼입될 수 있는 Na+, K+, Cl-, SO4- 등의 제거(washing 혹은 filtering)가 필수적이다. 그러나 침전법에서 얻게 되는 분말은 매우 미세하여 colloid를 형성하게 되며, 이러한 colloid 상태의 미세한 침전입자가 filtering media에 끼이게 되어 견고하면서도 상당한 부피를 가지는 filter cake을 형성하기 때문에 filtering에 많은 시간과 다량의 filtering agent (본 실험의 경우엔 증류수)가 필요하게 된다. 따라서 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 colloid 상태의 침전물을 얼렸다 녹이는 freezing process를 개발, 적용하여 그 원리 및 효과, 그로인한 분말형태를 관찰하여 보았다.

In this study, ultrastructural change of the bile duct fibroblast at infected rat with Clonorchis sinensis, and the distribution of lectin receptors and actin protein in cultured bile duct infected with Clonorchis sinensis. It explored using colloidal gold label complex with lectin WGA purified from wheat germ (Triticum vulgaris) and anti actin antibody purified actin (43 kDa) isolated from chicken back muscle. The lectin WGA with protein A gold complex labeled sections of the cultured fibroblast revealed gold particles specifically distributed on the multi vesicular form Golgi complex and cell surface of the fibroblast. The actin antibody with protein A gold complex labeled sections of the cultured fibroblast revealed gold particles specifically distributed on the cytoplasm of the fibroblast. Labeling of cultured fibroblast in rat bile duct infected with Clonorchis sinensis was then quantified and compared to that of cultured Fibroblast in Rat Bile duct. These results indicate that lectin WGA receptors are located in the multi vesicular form Golgi complex in the cytoplasm to the cytoplasmic process of the Rat bile duct fibroblast infected with Clonorchis sinensis. Therefore, the GlcNAc and NeuNac regions on the cell surface and cytoplasmic process appear to be functionally associated with cell-recognition and protection from other cell of the tissue, and linked with secretion and exocytosis of the fibroblst cytoplasm. GlcNAc and NeuNAc product in the multi vesicular form Golgi complex then it is transported to cell surface. Actin protein is many appears that infected fibroblast rather than normal fibroblast. The fibroblast of infected with Clonorchis sinensis are against of the physical and chemical stimulation. Then development of cytoplasmic process is relative some stimulation.

Manufacturing processes in industrial complexes produce NOx, SOx, VOCs, which cause particulate matter (PM). Therefore, this study analyzed the characteristics of each industrial complex by using scattered public data, matched the existing particulate matter(PM) reduction technology, and proposed an optimized reduction plan. The application of matching technologies and facilities by industrial complexes based on data is able to mitigate NOx, SOx, and VOCs which cause particulate matter in the process in advance. This way can be an effective alternative in order to reduce PM in the manufacturing processes as well as industrial complexes.

We have studied the orientational characteristics of microcrack frequency, it's length and density in Tertiary crystalline tuff from the northeastern part of the Gyeongsang Basin. 134 sets of microcracks on horizontal surfaces of 3 rock samples from Heunghae-eup were distinguished by enlarged photomicrographs of the thin sections. The variability in patterns among microcrack length-frequency histograms for three rock samples from different altitudes were derived. The pattern of histograms changes progressively from negative exponential form to log-normal form in proportion to altitude. The distribution pattern for rock sample no.1 from lower altitude shows the broad length distribution characterized by higher mean and median, and higher standard deviation. Meanwhile, this distribution pattern corresponds with characteristics of joint length distribution in sedimentary rocks of the lower part of the Gyeongsang Supergroup. The occurrence frequency of shorter microcracks increases toward both NW and NE directions from the $N0{\sim}10^{\circ}W$, with the dominant direction of $N80{\sim}90^{\circ}W$ and $N80{\sim}90^{\circ}E$, respectively. This distribution pattern represents the relative differences in formation timing among microcrack sets and the result of the new initiation of shorter microcracks. Meanwhile, the longest microcracks within $N60{\sim}70^{\circ}W$($L_{max}$:1.18 mm) and $N0{\sim}10^{\circ}W$($L_{max}$:0.80 mm) directions are seen, but this kind of microcracks are very limited in number. Whole domain of the directional angle($\theta$)-frequency(N), length(L) and density($\rho$) chart can be divided into five sections in terms of phases of the distribution of related curves. From the distribution chart, density curve shows five distinct peaks in the WNW-ESE($N70{\sim}80^{\circ}W$), NS~NNE-SSW($N0{\sim}10^{\circ}W$, $N10{\sim}20^{\circ}E$), ENE-WSW($N50{\sim}60^{\circ}E$), and nearly EW($N80{\sim}90^{\circ}E$) directions, respectively. Especially, main directions of faults correspond with the directional angle showing high density. Consequently, these distribution patterns of density curve reflect the representative maximum principal stress orientations suggested in previous studies.

In the present study, biocompatible poly (ethylene glycol) (PEG) microparticles containing coriander essential oil were prepared using a supercritical particles from gas saturated solution (PGSS) process to improve the stability of the coriander oil. The effects of various process parameters such as temperature, pressure, and nozzle diameter on the morphology and entrapment efficiency of coriander oil loaded PEG microparticles were then investigated. A positive influence on the formation of spherical microparticles was observed with increasing temperature and decreasing pressure. Furthermore, somewhat more porous microparticles were produced with an increase in pressure. At a given temperature, the highest entrapment efficiency of coriander essential oil in PEG microparticles was observed under the lowest experimental pressure condition.
