In order to know the effects of hot-water extracts of starches on gel formation and gel properties, some physicochemical properties and molecular distribution of the extracts were measured. Also, after acid-hydrolysis of starch gels and extract gels, extent of hydrolysis and $\overline{D.P}._n$, and molecular distribution of hydrolysis-residue were measured. Extraction ratio of grain starches (buckwheat, corn, rice, and wheat) were $4.0{\sim}6.6%$. The ratio of acorn and mungbean starches were 11.7 and 13.5%, respectively. Iodine affinity of the extracts was $17.2{\sim}17.7%$ in starches using for Mook, SM(acorn, buckwheat, and mungbean), $13.7{\sim}14.9%$ in starches not using for Mook, SNM(corn, rice, and wheat). Blue value was also higher in SM than in SNM. $\overline{D.P}._n$. of extracts of SM were bigger than those of SNM. In molecular distribution experiment, amylopectin fraction was not found from the extracts except rice starch extract. The extent of acid hydrolysis of the starch gels were $70{\sim}84%$ after 60 days, and the extent of the extract gels were $22{\sim}35%$. The extent of hydrolysis of starch gels and extract gels made with SM were lower than those of SNM.

The radial distribution functions of a linear spheroidal type gas molecule $C_2H_4$ were calculated by using the Stockmayer molecular molel, which assumed the $C_2H_4$ molecule as simple quadrupolar molecule. To examine the validity of the calculated radial distribution of $C_2H_4$ gas, the density dependent pressures of $C_2H_4$ gas at several temperatures were calculated and compared with literarily known experimental pressure data of $C_2H_4$ gas. The temperatures examined was 50, 100 and $150^{\circ}C$ and the densities were up to $0.02/{\AA}^3$ (maximum pressure = 1500 atm). The radial distribution function expression used was derived by Yoon, Hacura, and Baglin (YHB) with Baker and Henderson's perturbation theory. The calculated results by a computer showed that the $C_2H_4$ pressures calculated agreed well with the experimental values within ${\pm}5%$ of error range. This indicated that the YHB radial distribution function expression is good enough to obtain various physical quantities sensitive to density such as pressure with resonable accuracy.

Linear and star-shaped, poly(lactic acid) (PLA) stereo-block copolymers were synthesized by sequential polymerization of DL-lactic acid and L-lactide in the presence of diol or polyol compounds. The molecular weight of block copolymers could be controlled to some extent by the variation of alcohol content. These block copolymers had relatively narrow molecular weight distributions. The glass transition temperature and melting temperature of block copolymers appeared at around 5$0^{\circ}C$ and 100~14$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. The block copolymers were found to crystallize even at the high D-stereoisomer concentration of 35 mol%, in contrast to the amorphous nature of the random copolymer with similar composition. Also we could observe the crystallinity of PLA stereo-block copolymers varying with annealing temperature and time.

We investigated the effects of skin hydration and composition analysis of proteoglycan (chia seed polymer) produced from chia (Salvia hispanica) seed. The result showed that proteoglycan of chia seeds is composed of galactose (46.8 %), glucuronic acid (27.1 %), rhamnose (8.7 %), xylose (7.6 %), glucose (4.9 %), fructose (2.3 %), mannose (1.8 %), arabinose (0.9 %) and the amount of proteins contained is 31.3 mg/g with the constituent amino acid compositions (mg/g) of Asp (1.9), Glu (3.6), Ser (0.9), Gly (3.6), Thr (0.8), Arg (1.0), Ala (2.0), Tyr (0.4), Cys (4.8), Val (1.1), Phe (0.5), Ile (0.6), Leu (0.9). The molecular weight of the proteoglycan measured by GPC (Gel Permeation Chromatography) is the range of 100,000~250,000 Da and the average molecular weight is 170,000 Da. The moisturizing effects and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) of chia seed polymer in cosmetic products (O/W emulsion) were studied in vivo. Chia seed polymer showed good skin hydration effects when compared with sodium hyaluronate which is a common moisturizer. Taken all together, chia seed polymer should be a very useful cosmetic ingredient as a moisturizer and a protecting agent from various skin irritations.

In general, the synthesis of poly(3-hexylthiophene)(P3HT)-based block copolymers requires at least a 4-5 step process. To control the molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, and block ratio, the reaction conversion and time should be monitored. In addition, the reaction scale usually limited to several mg to g was difficult to increase due to the limitations of living radical polymerizations. In this study, we synthesized P3HT-b-poly(4-vinylprydine) (P3HT-b-P4VP) with a final product quantity of > 19 g via a 2-step synthetic method with an anionic polymerization. In this method, the molecular weight and molecular weight distribution of P3HT-b-P4VP can be well controlled without monitoring the reaction conversion. We also studied physical properties of P3HT-b-P4VP depending on different solvent systems, which were investigated by UV-vis spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy, and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopy.

Using atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), polystyrene macroinitiators and polystyrene-b-poly(t-butyl acrylate) (PS-b-P(tBA) block copolymers were synthesized by CuBr/PMDETA catalyst system in solution. After hydrolysis, polystyrene-b-poly(acrylic acid), amphiphilic block copolymers, were formed. Subsequent neutralization of polyacid block led to the block ionomers. The molecular weight of the synthesized PS-b-P(tBA) block copolymers was easily-controlled to 5000-10000 and their distributions were less than 1.2. The chemical structures of the synthesized block copolymers were characterized by $^1$H-NMR and FT-IR. In the DSC thermograms, $T_g$ appeared in the vicinity of 100 $^{\circ}C$ because of higher styrene content. In addition, the phase separation of the block ionomers was observed by TEM.

금속염을 첨가한 고무를 아연판과 접착가황하여 아연면의 첨가금속과 유황의 분포를 XMA에 의해 구했다. 가황중에 아연면으로 이행하는 것은 Co, Cu, Pb를 포함한 유기금속염뿐이였다. 고무 속의 유리유황도 이들 금속염과 함께 아연판으로 이행되어 왔다. 나프텐산코발트 중의 Co는 아연층내에 확산되어 분포된 데 반하여, S는 아연판표면에만 분포되어 있다. 양자가 아연판으로 이행되는 양은 첨가량에 비례해서 증가하였다. 고무와 아연판의 접착력은 Co량 0.6%까지는 증가하고, 그 이상의 첨가에서는 현저하게 저하되었다. 나프텐산코발트의 첨가량을 증가시키면 가황고무 중의 망목쇄농도는 변하지 않으나 유리유황은 감소하였다. 가황고무 중의 잔류나프텐산코발트는 60℃이상의 열처리온도에서 산화를 촉진하고 접착력도 저하시킨다. 카아본블랙을 배합하지 않은 NR의 유전거동보다 첨가한 나프텐산코발트는 가황온도에서 고무 분자의 주쇄 Segment의 완화 mode에 영향을 준다는 것을 알았다.

In preparing micron-sized monodisperse polystyrene beads by dispersion polymerization, the conversion, and the particle size and its distribution were affected by the reaction temperature, concentration of the monomer, solvent and initiator, molecular weight and concentration of the steric stabilizer, amount of oxygen existing in the reactor, and an appropriate combination of these starting materials. Ethanol as a dispersing agent, styrene as a monomer, PVP as a steric stabilizer, AIBN as an initiator, DVB as a cross-linking agent and toluene as a co-solvent were the basic materials for the synthesis. The reaction rate and the conversion were increased with the reaction temperature and the amount of DVB from 1 to 4%, and the conversion was saturated after 10 hours of the reaction time. The optimum reaction recipe for the preparation of the monodisperse PS beads was 25% styrene monomer, 0.5% DVB, 25% toluene, 10-15% PVP, and 2 and 4% AIBN, thereby, 3.9~4 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ and 3.4~9.3 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$ of polystyrene beads, respectively, were successfully synthesized.

The present study was carried out to investigate the localization and isozyme patterns of acid phosphatase and alkaline phosphatase in metacercariae and in adults of F. seoulensis by enzyme-histochemistry method and electrophoresis. Acidphosphatase showed a strong activity at pH 5 in the intestinal caecum of adults, but showed no reactions in the nonsubstrate control and in the inhibitor-treated control. Alkaline phosphatase showed a strong activity at pH 8 in the intestinal caecum and the tribocytic organ of adults, and in the intestinal caecum and in the genital anlagen of metacercariae. In non-denature PAGE, ten bands of protein fraction from the extracts of metacercariae and twenty-two bands from adults were detected. In denature PAGE, two protein bands having molecular weights of 192 kDa and 123 kDa were detected in the metacercariae, but absent from adult stage. In adults, protein fractions of 27.5 kDa, 24.5 kDa, 21.4 kDa, 18 kDa, 16 kDa and 15 kDa were detected. In non-denature PAGE, isozymes of acid phosphatase showed the most strong activity at pH 5, whereas no activity was shown at pH 2 and pH 7. One isozyme 85 kDa, 73 kDa and 62 kDa) in adults.
