Recovery conditions and characteristics of a high molecular soluble protein from surimi processing wastewater in marine manufacture using calcium powder of cuttle bone treated with acetic acid (ATC) were examined. Judging from results of total-N, pH, COD, turbidity and yields, optimal treatment concentration of ATC for recovery of high molecular soluble proteins from wastewater was $1.0\%.$ The protein recovered from seafood waste (PRW) was macromolecule weight. The COD value in the wastewater treated with ATC was very high. The PRW had a $78.4\%$ in moisture, $1.0\%$ in crude lipid and $5.7\%$ in crude ash. The proximate composition, except the crude ash, of the PRW was similar to that of commercial surimi. The PRW showed white index and similar in the content and in the composition of total amino acid to those of commercial surimi. From the results of sensory evaluation on white index and texture, the heat-induced surimi gel prepared with $5\%$ subsititution of the PRW for bulking agent of commercial surimi was not significantly different compared to that prepared with the original commercial surimi.

Chitosan, a natural polymer, has been importantly considered as biomedical materials due to its good biocompatibility and various bio-active characteristes. Water soluble chitosan was then copolymerized EGDMA(ethylene glycol dimethacrylate; used as a cross-linking agent for the free-radical copolymerization), MMA (methylmethacrylate), MA (methacrylic acid) in the presence of AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) as a radical initiator. The water content and visible transmissibility, ultimate strength of copolymerized ophthalmic polymer were measured to be 24$\sim$59%, 88$\sim$89% and 0.1$\sim$2.4 Kgf, respectively. And also, we tested for antimicrobial activities against staphylococcus aureus, Pseudomonas aeruginosa. They showed that in case of antimicrobial activities, the values including chitosan were much higher than that of the polymers of no including chitosan, suggesting that the copolymer can be used as a novel ophthalmic material of high performance.

The low-pollution dyeing condition and dyeing method suitable for the silk fiber were investigated. Instead of surfactants, water-soluble polymers and electrolytes were added as auxiliary agents in the new process of dyeing. By the new method, the level dyeing and sufficient exhaustion were achieved. The K/S values of silk fabrics were little different among electrolytes added in the dye-bath.

For the first time, a totally solid state electric double layer capacitor has been fabricated using an alkaline polymer electrolyte and an activated carbon powder as electrode material. The polymer electrolyte serves both as separator as well as electrode binder. The capacitor has a three-layer structure; electrode-electrolyte-electrode. A cyclic voltammetry and constant current discharge have been used for the determination of the electro chemical performance of capacitors.

The advancement of commercially viable gas separation membranes plays a pivotal role in improving CO₂ separation efficiency. High-molecular-weight poly(ethylene oxide) (high-Mw PEO) emerges as a promising option due to its high CO₂ solubility, affordability, and robust mechanical attributes. However, the crystalline nature of high-Mw PEO hinders its application in gas separation membranes. This study proposes a straightforward blending approach by incorporating various polymeric additives into high-Mw PEO to address this challenge. Four commercially available, water-soluble polymers, i.e. poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG), poly(propylene glycol) (PPG), poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), and poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) are examined as additives to enhance membrane performance by improving miscibility and reducing PEO crystallinity. Contrary to expectations, PEG and PPG fail to inhibit the crystalline structure of PEO and result in membrane flaws. Conversely, PAA and PVP demonstrate greater success in altering the crystal structure of PEO, yielding defect-free membranes. A thorough investigation delves into the correlation between changes in the crystalline structure of high-Mw PEO blend membranes and their gas separation performance. Drawing from our findings and previously documented outcomes, we offer insights into designing and selecting additive polymers for high-Mw PEO, aiming at the creation of cost-effective, commercially viable CO₂ separation membranes.

알지네이트 하이드로 젤은 해조류에서 추출되는 천연 고분자인 알지네이트가 칼슘 또는 마그네슘 양이온과 이온가교(Ioninc cross linking)를 형성할 때 알지네이트의 고분자 구조가 칼슘, 마그네슘 양이온을 감싸면서 형성되는 고분자이다. 알지네이트 하이드로 젤은 높은 생체적합성(Biocompatibility)으로 인해 세포 재생을 위한 조직공학 및 재생의학, 약물전달 등의 제약 관련 분야에 광범위하게 적용될 수 있는 물질로 많은 연구가 이루어지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로 플루이딕 칩을 이용하여 알지네이트 튜브를 제조하였다. 먼저 유동 포커싱 방식(flow focussing)을 유도할 수 있는 PDMS(Polydimethylsiloxane) 마이크로 플루이딕 칩을 제조하였다. 마이크로 플루이딕 칩은 CNC(Computer Numeric Control) milling machine을 이용한 template를 만들고 NOA mold를 이용하여 최종 PDMS 칩을 제작하였다. 튜브를 만들기 위한 마이크로 채널은 내부 채널 ($200{\times}200um$), 중간 채널 ($200{\times}200um$) 및 외부 채널 ($200{\times}200um$)로 구성되며 내부, 중간, 외부의 유체가 합류하는 수집채널은 폭 500 um, 깊이 200 um로 구성되었다. 운반체로는 5%의 acetic acid를 함유한 mineral oil를 이용하였으며 내부의 core flow는 $H_2O$로 하였다. 중간 유체인 2% 알지네이트 프리폴리머는 칼슘 이온의 존재 하에서 젤화 과정이 매우 빠르기 때문에 마이크로 채널 내부에서의 반응을 제어하고 막힘을 방지하기 위해 수용성 복합 칼슘-에틸렌 디아민 테트라 아세트산 (EDTA)을 사용하였다. 본 마이크로 플루이딕 칩에 각각의 유체를 이동시켰을 때, 운반체인 oil phase의 수소이온은 중간 유체인 알지네이트 프리폴리머와의 계면을 통해 확산되어 Ca-EDTA 복합체로부터 칼슘 양이온의 방출을 유발하게 된다. 방출된 칼슘 양이온은 알지네이트 고분자와의 이온 가교를 통해 알지네이트 하이드로 젤을 형성하여, 각 유체의 flow에 따라 알지네이트 튜브를 쉽고 빠르게 제조 가능하였다. 본 연구에서 제조된 알지네이트 튜브는 인체 내 장기간 약물 전달을 위한 나노섬유로 활용하거나 인공혈관을 구성하는 extracellular matrix로 활용될 잠재력을 가지고 있어 추후 활발한 연구개발이 진행될 예정이다.

Development of various medical systems was accomplished through the progress of biotechnological method for therapy of human diseases. Furthermore, drug delivery systems have been investigated to carry the bioactive materials such as drug or gene in the body effectively. The most important thing in this system is to develop biomedical polymers having biocompatibility, biodegradability, and non-toxicity. Chitosan, a natural polymer, has been importantly considered as biomedical materials due to its good biocompatibility and various bio-active characteristics. Since the property of chitosan is differently explained according to the crystalline structures of chitin, the study for structural analysis of chitin has to proceed to apply as a biomaterial. From this point of view, this article introduced the analysis of crystalline structural of chitin, general property of chitosan and potential characteristics of low molecular weight water-soluble chitosan (LMWSC) as a biomaterials. Furthermore, chemical modification of LMWSC using various functional groups was also performed to enhance its bioavailability and emphasize their potential as drug delivery carriers (DDS).

A new water-soluble and self-doped poly(styrenesulfonic acid-graft-aniline), PSSA-g-PANI, for dispersing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) in water was synthesized and its ability to stabilize aqueous CNT dispersions was examined. It was observed that the PANI in PSSA-g-PANI, which has benzoid and quinoid structure, was strongly adsorbed onto the nanotube surface via a strong ${\pi}-{\pi}$ interaction, and thus only gentle sonication causes exfoliation of CNT ropes to small bundles and the long-term stability of their resulting dispersions was much better than commercial surfactants. Furthermore, when thin films of PSSA-g-PANI/CNT are prepared from aqueous dispersion and their electrical conductivities are measured by the four probe technique, it is observed that their conductivities are in the range of 1.5-2.5 S/cm.

In this work, in order to inrprove the flexural strength of hardened portlarid cerncrit paste, mix ing water was reduced to water ccrnent ratio of 0.1 aid water soluble polymer such as hydroxy propyl methyl cellulose was adclelri to the paste to obtain a better dispersion. The paste was kneaded by the twin roll mill for cornpact and homogeneous mixing. The high strength mechanism of the hardened cement paste may be due to the removal of macropores larger than 100${\mu}m$, the reduction of capillary pores acting as the passage of crack propagation, the increase of Young's moculus with iticrease of unhytlratcci cenxxnt ard the incicasc of fracture toughnevs with the crack toughening mechanism (grain bridging, polymer fibril bridging and fritional inter-locking).
