Aqueous poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA) solution was modified by using hydrophobic vinyltriethoxysilane (VTEOS) and then adding different amounts of poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) to the resulting solution. Thermal and mechanical properties, contact angle, water vapor transmission rate (MVTR) and oxygen gas transmission rate ($O_2TR$) of the film samples fabricated by these solutions were investigated. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of the VTEOS-modified films was sightly increased and the value remained unchanged according to the amount of PAA. The tensile strength of the VTEOS-modified films was found to be 9.48~10.72 $kg/mm^2$ which showed no significant difference compared with that of PVA. The film prepared with VTEOS-modified PVA/PAA (= 90/10), of which the swelling and solubility were measured to be 198% and 0%, respectively, showed improved water-resistance. The MVTR and $O_2TR$ for the PET film (thickness 50 ${\mu}m$) coated with VTEOS-modified PVA/PAA (= 90/10) film (thickness 2.5 ${\mu}m$) were measured to be 11.04 $g/m^2/day$ and 3.1 $cc/m^2/day$, respectively.

Platinum nanoparticles were added to a mixture of HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), NVP (N-vinyl pyrrolidone) and MMA (methyl methacrylate) in a mould at various concentrations. The resulting mixture was copolymerized by heating at $70^{\circ}C$ for 40 min, $80^{\circ}C$ for 40 min, and $100^{\circ}C$ for 40 min, respectively. The physical properties of contact lens were then measured. The oxygen transmissibility of $9{\sim}15{\times}10^{-9}$ cm/s mL $O_2$/mL ${\times}$ mmHg, water content of 34.22~35.52%, refractive index of 1.432~1.435, visible transmittance of 88.3~91.2% and tensile strength of 0.141~0.152 kgf were obtained. The addition of platinum nanoparticles to the polymer allowed the contact lens to have various colors without artificial coloring agents. The polymer materials satisfied the physical properties required to produce contact lenses, making the material suitable to be applied as a functional material for ophthalmological purposes.

Correct packaging enables processors to pack fresh produce and extend its shelf life. This study was carried out to investigate the effect of different packaging materials on the weight loss, pH, $O_2$, $CO_2$ and sensory characteristics of soybean sprouts during their storage at $5^{\circ}C$ for seven days. Soybean sprouts ($320{\pm}20g$) were packaged with oriented polypropylene (OPP) and cast polypropylene (CPP) films, respectively. The $O_2$ transmission rate of the packaging materials was set to have a control of $10,000cc/m^2$.day.atm, and an OP15 and CP15 with $15,000cc/m^2$.day.atm through a pre-screening test. The average weight loss of the soybean sprouts during their storage was less than 10%, and that of the soybean sprouts with a CPP film was higher than that of the OPP film. The pH of the soybean sprouts increased during their storage regardless of their packaging materials; but compared to the pH of the soybean sprouts packaged with OPP, those packaged with CPP were higher. The $CO_2$ content of the packaging increased with a decrease in the $O_2$ content. The ratio of $CO_2$ to $O_2$ in the soybean sprouts with the OPP film was 3.5 times higher than in the soybean sprouts with the CPP film. The results of the overall sensory test showed that the marketability of the soybean sprouts packaged with OPP film and stored at $5^{\circ}C$ seemed to have been maintained effectively for six days (at a $15,000cc/m^2$.day.atm $O_2$ transmission rate). When the correlation coefficients of the control, OP15 and CP15 were analyzed, the highest correlation was shown between a control and OP15 (0.986; p<0.01).

We polymerized material of AA(Acrylic acid) and BMA(butyl methacrylate) to make up for the weak points of hydrogel contact lens. The synthesis process of silicone synthesis is as follows. Acrylate-PDMS(Polydimethylsiloxane)-Urethane prepolymer was composed after Diisocynate reacted with HEMA(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) under the catalyst and it reacted again with bis(hydroxyalkyl) terminated poly(dimethylsiloxane) with high oxygen transmissibility characteristics. HEMA(2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate) was used to make prepolymer that can be polymerized and the urethane was used to improve elasticity and oxygen transmissibility, copolymerization was performed with conventional hydrogel contact lens materials to make silicone hydrogel contact lens with higher oxygen transmissibility. For manufacturing of contact lens, We added BMA(Butyl methacrylate) with better elasticity and flexibility, and AA(Acrylic acid) with higher moisturizing to used contact lens materials. AIBN (Azobis2-methylpropionitrile) as initiator and EGDMA(Ethylene Glycol Dimethacrylat) as crosslinking agent were used and the lens with higher oxygen transmissibility and better moisturizing were manufactured complying with basic contact lens properties, which have several combination trial of each monomer characteristics. Compounding SN which included SILICONE, HEMA, NVP and EGDMA etc was showed by swelling ratio of 9.38% and water content of 23.7%. SN was showed by swelling ratio of 9.38%, water content of 23.7% and a visible ray transmissibility of 89%. SB which added BMA in the SN was showed by swelling ratio of 12.50%, water content of 18.56% and a visible ray transmissibility of 88%. SAB which added both AA and BMA in the SN was showed by swelling ratio of 8.33%, water content of 12.93% and a visible ray transmissibility of 88%.

The effect of modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) on kohlrabi (Brassica olerace L. gongulodes group)'s quality and antioxidant molecule during storage was examined to determine the optimal film package for maintaining freshness. To extend shelf life, MAP was tested using PE $50{\mu}m$ and oriented polypropylene (OPP) films with oxygen transmission rate (OTR) at 3,000, 10,000, $15,000mL/m^2/day/atm$. The OPP film packaging with modified oxygen transmission rate showed a delay in a weight loss and extended storage period. The package with OTR 3000 attained the desired gas composition of $O_2$ 3.2-6.7 kPa and $CO_2$ 13.1-19.8 kPa, in storage at room temperature. Kohlrabi stored in this package showed the lowest weight loss and the highest visual quality. Deterioration and off-odor were developed more rapidly in PE $50{\mu}m$ towards the end of the storage at room temperature. However, there are no differences among OTR films in visual quality and off-odor until 60 days at cold storage. Vitamin C content of kohlrabi was reduced rapidly in OTR 15000 with high transmission rate and showed less loss in PE $50{\mu}m$ and OTR 3000 in both room temperatures and cold storage. Results revealed that an OPP film with OTR 3000 extended the shelf life of kohlrabi in storage with maintained quality and vitamin C.

The influence of $O_2$-plasma treatment on $H_2$ post-treated BZO (ZnO:B) thin film using MOCVD (Metal-Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) are investigated. An $O_2$-plasma treatment of the $H_2$ post-treated BZO thin films resulted in XRD peak of (100), (101) and (110). Also, electrical properties resulted in an increase in sheet resistance and work function. The weighted optical transmittance and haze at 300~1,100 nm of BZO thin films with $O_2$-plasma treatment on the $H_2$ post-treatment show approximately 86% and 15%, respectively.

느타리버섯은 전남 장흥군에서 병재배로 재배된 '곤지 7호' 느타리버섯 품종을 $3^{\circ}C$에서 1일간 냉각시킨 후 실험에 사용하였다. 이산화탄소 처리는 10mm 두께의 아크릴로 제작한 밀폐 챔버($40{\times}70{\times}40cm$)를 이용하여 CO2가스를 주입하여 내부의 CO2 농도를 $30{\pm}1%$로 조정하여 3시간 동안 밀폐시켰으며 $3^{\circ}C$ 저온 저장고에서 수행하였다. 처리 후 포장필름은 3처리로 하여 PVC랩, 재배농가에서 이용하는 필름인 $20{\mu}m$ OPP필름, $30{\mu}m$ OPP필름을 재료로 하여 산소투과율을 $5,000cc/m2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$로 조정한 필름(OPP5)을 사용하였다. PVC랩 처리는 스티로폼 트레이에 옮긴 후 균일하게 한 겹으로 둘렀고, OPP와 OPP5는 봉지에 옮겨 봉지 입구 4cm 안쪽을 비닐접착기로 열접착하여 밀봉하였으며 $3^{\circ}C$에 저장하면서 필름내부의 기체조성, 경도, 색도, 이취, 종합선도 변화를 조사하였다. 포장된 느타리버섯의 포장재 내 이산화탄소 농도는 저장초기 0.03%에서 점차 증가하여 저장 3일 후 PVC랩은 3.5~3.9%, 나머지 처리는 18%이상으로 증가하였으며 OPP필름보다 OPP5필름의 경우 포장재 내 이산화탄소 농도가 더 낮게 유지되었다. 생체중 감소는 PVC랩에서 저장 26일 후 9.9% 이하로 육안으로 보이는 시들음이 관찰되었으며 나머지 처리들은 저장 26일 후까지 1.6% 이하의 중량감소율을 보였다. 느타리버섯 갓 경도는 유지되었으며 줄기표면의 황색도 $b^*$값은 PVC랩에서는 증가 경향을, OPP나 OPP5에서는 유지 경향을 보였다. 느타리버섯의 이취 및 전체적인 품질은 무처리 후 PVC랩 포장은 저장 6일 후에 이취가 상품성 한계로 발생하였고 OPP5 포장은 포장재 중 가장 이취발생이 늦게 발생하였으며 CO2 처리에 의해 지연되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이런 결과를 종합하여 느타리버섯의 $3^{\circ}C$ 저장 중 품질유지기간은 각 PVC랩(6일) ${\rightarrow}$ 30% CO2+PVC랩(7일) ${\rightarrow}$ OPP(10일) ${\rightarrow}$ 30% CO2+OPP(17일) ${\rightarrow}$ OPP5(20일) ${\rightarrow}$ 30% CO2+OPP5(22일)로 조사되었다. CO2처리 후 산소투과율을 $5,000cc/m2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$으로 조정한 미세천공(OPP5)필름이 가장 높은 전체적 품질점수를 나타내었으며 상대적으로 낮은 이취발생, 갈변과 갓무름이 적어 높은 점수를 얻는데 영향을 준 것으로 보인다.
