Oxy-PAN fiber prepared from the preoxidation and saponification of raw PAN fiber is known to elongate and contract when immersed in basic and acidic solutions, respectively. In this study, about 30% elongation in NaOH solution and 30∼50% contraction in HCl solution have been observed. In mechanical test, the mechanical properties of oxy-PAN fiber in the contracted state was stronger than that in the elongated state. These behaviors and mechanical properties are compared to those of living muscle and linear actuator. The change of length in NaOH and HCl solutions is due to switching between a hydrophilic and a hydrophobic structure. Other reasons are exchange of ion and water in/out of oxy-PAN fiber, and osmotic pressure difference associated with relevant ions. Much studies are needed to clarify the effective factors on but the oxy-PAN fiber's elongation/contraction behavior and mechanical properties, but the oxy-PAN fiber perpared in our laboratory has a sufficient potential for application as artificial muscle and linear actuator.

The chemical species formed by uranium and vanadium and their equilibria have been investigated in the various concentrations of oxalic and acetic acids by the ion exchange chromatography and UV-Vis spectrophotometry. Uranyl and vanadyl ions seem to be form the complex as $UO_2(C_2O_4)_2=$, $UO_2(C_2O_4)_3^{4-}$ and $VO_2(C_2O_4)-2^{3-}$ respectively in the concentration range of 0.005∼0.05M oxalic acid concentration. In the case of acetic acid the equilibria of $UO_2^{2+}+3Ac^-=UO_2(Ac)_3^-$ and $VO_2^++2Ac^-=VO_2(Ac)_2^-$ were existed individually according to the increase of acetic acid concentration.

Using the methods which described in ISO 4588, ASTM D2651 and the selected literature, we investigated the best conditions of acid treatment for stainless steel and carbon steel. The acid treatments were conducted with four different acid solutions which were prepared for stainless steel and carbon steel specimen. We observed the contact angle and morphology and roughness of the metal surface and the thickness change at various treatment conditions as treatment temperature and time. Also, we investigated the characteristics of the surface aging according to air exposure after surface treatment. As a result, the optimal temperature of the acid treatment for stainless steel and carbon steel were each obtained at $83^{\circ}C$ and $63^{\circ}C$. Also, it was confirmed that the acid treatments for the metal surface were accompanied with the decrease of thickness and the change of surface morphology due to significant erosion that depend on treatment methods. And also, it was characterized that the aspect of surface aging by air exposure was highly depended on the method of acid treatment.

Purification of hyaluronic acid produced by Streptococcus equi was carried out to obtain clinical grade hyaluronic acid. The removal method of the bacteria was selected as filtration because filtration was the most effective method in removing impurities such as protein and nucleic acid of the fermentation broth. The removal efficiencies of protein and nucleic acid of hyaluronic acid solution were increased to 75% and 67%, respectively, by filtration with adding 0.6% of activatied carbon and 1.0% colite. Hyaluronic acid solution was precipitated by mixing with 2 volumes of ethanol. Effects of pH and conductivity on ethanol preciptation of hyaluronic acid were investigated. Protein and nucleic acid of hyaluronic acid were remained almost constant regardless of pH and conductivity, and the recovery of hyaluronic acid was optimum as about 85% at pH 7 and l00mS of conductivity Protein of hyaluronic acid was completly removed by three serial filtration and ethanol precipitation, however, nucleic acid was not removed. Hyaluronic acid solution was passed through a column of Duolite A7 to remove its nucleic acid, where 65% of nucleic acid was removed at pH 7 and 40mS of conductivity. The residual nucleic acid of hyaluronic acid solution was completly removed by treatment of 0.2% hydroxyapatite and the clinical grade hylauronic acid could be obtained.

봉공처리법은 다공성 알루미나를 제조 후에 내마모성의 증가, 침지된 염료의 봉인 등을 필요로 하여 이용하는 후처리 공정 중 하나이다. 상업적으로는 물 봉공처리나 니켈-아세트산 용액을 이용한 봉공처리를 주로 이용하지만 고온을 필요로 하거나 인체에 유독한 용액을 사용, 혹은 추가적인 봉공처리를 해주어야 한다는 단점들을 가지고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 독성이 적고 상온에서도 다공성 알루미나와 쉽게 반응할 수 있는 알루미늄 음이온 용액을 봉공처리에 이용하였다. 알루미늄 음이온 용액을 이용한 봉공처리는 알루미늄의 양극 산화를 진행한 이후에 알루미늄 음이온을 포함한 봉공처리제를 제조 후, 침지 처리하는 방식으로 봉공처리하였다. 봉공처리제의 pH 변화, 온도 변화, 침지 시간 등의 변수 요소에 따라서 최적화를 진행하였으며, 이 용액으로 봉공처리가 가능한지 주사 전자 현미경 분석을 통해 평가하였다. 이후 최적화된 조건과 기존에 상업적으로 사용하던 봉공처리법을 거친 후에 경도, 부식전위 검사, 내화학성 검사를 통해 성능의 변화를 확인하였으며 광전자 분광기를 통해 성분과 메카니즘을 예측하였다.

This study aimed to evaluate the effects of oral rinsing solution on the color stability, surface microhardness and surface roughness change of composite resin. In this in-vitro study, 80 disc-shaped specimens were fabricated of Filtek P60 and Filtek Z250(A2 shade). The samples of each group were randomly divided into eight subgroups (n=10). The baseline color values ($L^*$, $a^*$, $b^*$) of each specimen were measured according to CIE LAB system using a colorimeter. After baseline color measurements, the control samples were immersed in distilled water and the test groups were immersed colorless, green and purple mouthrinses three times a day for thirty minutes. This process was repeated for two weeks. Green and purple oral rinsing solutions displayed color, microhardness and roughness change of all composite resin after immersion in the mouthrinses. Therefore, prescription of oral rinsing solution for a minimum of two weeks is a common practice, which may cause discoloration of aesthetic composite restorations of patients.

To improve the thermal and mechanical properties of homo poly(L-lactic acid), DL-mandelic acid, one of the natural $\alpha$-hydroxy acid with aromatic ring as the side-chain residue was used as the comonomer. Copolymers with different contents of mandelic acid were prepared and characterized. The resulting copolymers were mostly amorphous. As the amount of mandelic acid in the monomer feed increased, the molecular weight of the resulting polymers tended to decrease linearly. T$_{g}$ and T$_{d}$ of the copolymer, however, were found to shift toward higher temperature, suggesting the improved thermal stability by increasing content of mandelic acid moiety. Tensile measurements of cast films showed somewhat improved values in the copolymers with mandelic acid content of 5 and 10 wt%.%.%.
