The water-soluble polyphosphazene possessing ether side groups was exposed to ${\gamma}-rays$ to prepare hydrogens with good water-swellability. The physical strength of these hydrogels could be controlled by irradiation dose of ${\gamma}-rays$. Trypsin and water-soluble polyphosphazene were irradiated together by ${\gamma}-rays$ for entrapment of enzymes into hydrogel networks. The activities of immobilized trypsin were examined spectrophotometrically after the reaction with N-${\alpha}$-benzoyl-1-arginine-p-nitroanilide in phosphate buffer. The immobilized trypsin was found to have good activity yield and suability after at least 500 hours.

금속 나노구조체에서의 localized surface plasmon resonance와 surface-enhanced Raman scattering 현상은 센서를 비롯한 다양한 응용분야를 가지고 있다. 나노구조체 array 형성을 위한 대표적인 top-down 방식인 e-beam lithography 공정은 제조비용이 매우 높고 대량생산 및 대면적화에도 한계가 있기에 polystyrene(PS) bead의 self-assembly를 이용한 nanosphere lithography와 같은 bottom-up 방식이 폭넓게 연구되고 있다. Closed-packing된 PS bead의 monolayer를 얻기 위해서는 기판의 친수성 처리가 필요한데, 기존의 많은 연구에서는 기판의 표면개질에 화학적 공정을 이용하고 있다. 하지만 이는 기판 선택의 자유도를 떨어뜨리는 원인이 된다. 금속이나 실리콘 기판에서는 산성 용액을 이용한 화학적 처리방법을 적용할 수 있지만 SU-8과 같은 감광액 및 폴리머 기판에서는 산에 대한 내구성이 떨어져 화학적 공정의 도입이 불가능 하기 때문이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 한계점을 극복하기 위해 $UV-O_3$ 공정으로 친수성 처리된 다양한 기판에서 spin coating을 통한 PS monolayer를 제조하였는데, UV 램프의 에너지 조절을 통해 기판에 붙어있는 유기물들을 효과적으로 제거할 수 있었고 $O_3$ 생성 및 분해 과정에서 기판 표면에 친수성 화학 작용기를 생성시킬 수 있었다. 제조된 PS layer를 mask로 사용하여 Ag, Al, Au 등 다양한 나노구조체 array를 형성하여 array 주기에 따른 플라즈몬 공명 특성을 분석하였다. 레이저 조사로 나노구조체의 형상을 변화시킴으로써 동일한 물질과 주기를 가진 array에서도 플라즈몬 특성의 변조가 가능함을 확인하였는데, 이는 금속 나노구조체의 응용측면에서 매우 고무적인 발견이다.

Microporous polypropylene (PP) membranes have the high chemical and corrosion resistance, the good mechanical properties and the thermal stability under high temperatures, but its application is restricted within narrow limits due to hydrophobicity of membranes. In order to impart permanent hydrophilicity to the PP microfiltration membrane, the radiation-induced graft of 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and acrylic acid (AAc) containing hydrophilic functional group onto the membrane has been studied. The effect of graft conditions such as reaction time, total radiation dose, reaction temperatures, acid compositions on graft yield was investigated. Modified PP membranes were shown to cause an increase in the gas flux. Oil emulsion permeation flux of both original PP membrane and modified PP membrane was examined.

This study investigated the effect of the structure of the crosslinking agent used in contact lens polymerization on the physical properties and drug dissolution of contact lenses.es Contact lenses were manufactured using 0.3% and 3% of 4 types of crosslinking agents, respectively, and ofloxacin was used as the drug. Contact lenses using hydrophilic crosslinking agents improved water contents and wettability, and the more hydrophilic functional groups, the greater the effect. Contact lenses with a high concentration of crosslinking agent had a low concentration of eluted drug and a longer release time. The cross-linking agent structure of contact lenses had an effect on improving the performance of contact lenses and controlling drug release.

The effect of hydrophilic surface modification of low density polyethylene(LDPE) byt the plasma gas($O_2$, $N_2$, and $O_2/N_2$) was investigated from the point of view of the functionalities of the generated LDPE surfaces and the contact angle. By virtue of x-ray photoelectron spectra(XPS) and attenuated total reflectance(FT-IR ATR) analysis, the LDPE surfaces treated with plasma were generated with oxygen functionalities of carbonyl, carboxyl, and the like, nitrogen functionalities by nitrogen plasma and mixing of nitrogen and oxygen plasma treatment were identified with. It was found that nitrogen plasma treatment showed with minimum value at contact angle for rf-power and treatment time, we had obtained optimum condition for hydrophilic surface modification at composite parameter, [(W/FM)t] 520~550GJs/kg.

The formation of hydrophilic surface based on polymers has received great attention due to the anti-adhesion of bacteria on solid substrates. Anti-adhesion coatings are aimed at suppressing the initial step of biofilm formation via non-cytotoxic mechanisms, and surfaces applied hydrophilic or ionic polymers showed the anti-adhesion effect for bioentities, such as proteins and bacteria. This is attributed to the formation of surface barrier from hydration layers, repulsions and osmotic stresses from polymer brushes, and electrostatic interactions between ionic polymers and cell surfaces. The antifouling polymer coating is usually fabricated by the grafting method through the bonding with functional groups on surfaces and the deposition method utilizing biomimetic anchors. This mini-review is a summary of representative antifouling polymers, coating strategies, and antibacterial efficacy. Furthermore, we will discuss consideration on the large area surface coating for application to public facilities and industry.

This study reports a synthesis of an amphiphilic linear block copolymer consisting of a hydrophobic poly (lactide) (PLA) block and a hydrophilic hyperbranched polyglycerol (hbPG) block, PLA-b-hbPG. Simple chemical modification of the hbPG block with 4-hydroxycinnamic acid (CA) led to a photo-crosslinkable block copolymer, PLA-b-hbPG-CA. Nanosized micelles of the block copolyemrs were used as drug carriers for sustainable release. The hbPG shell made of a small molecular weight hbPG block showed excellent hydrophilicity, which can minimize in vivo toxicity. The UV-crosslinked PLA-b-hbPG-CA micelles loaded with drugs colud be served as a drug delivery carrier for its biocompatibility and self-assembled structures.

We prepared hydrophilic porous supporters for the reinforced composite fuel cell membrane by radiation grafting of acrylonitrile (AN) and hydrophilic sodium allylsulfonate (SAS) into a porous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) supporter. The physicochemical properties of the supporters prepared under various reaction conditions such as molar ratio of SAS/AN, monomer concentration, and irradiation dose were evaluated. FTIR was utilized to confirm the successful introduction of SAS/AN copolymer chains into the porous PTFE. The pores of the porous PTFE film were found to be decreased with an increase in the degree of grafting by using FE-SEM and gurley number. Furthermore, by analyzing the degree of grafting, contact angle, and TBO (toluidine blue O) uptake, the hydrophilicity of the prepared supporters was found to increase with an increase in the degree of grafting.

전자 디스플레이 산업의 중요성과 미래사회에서 요구되는 정보기기로써 유연한 기판을 사용한 소자에 대한 수요가 급격히 증가하고 있으며, 이들 산업에 응용되기 위해서는 저비용, 고생산 공정이 요구되고 있다. 이를 위해 인쇄전자 기술에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 특히, 금속배선은 모든 소자의 기본이면서 낮은 저항과 높은 신뢰성을 동시에 요구하고 있어 인쇄전자 기술이 해결해야 할 가장 어려운 난제 중의 하나이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 낮은 저항과 높은 신뢰성을 만족시킬 수 있는 새로운 금속배선 공정으로서 폴리이미드 필름을 초발수 처리한 후 친수 패턴을 하여 전도성 잉크에 함침함으로서 친수 패턴을 따라 금속배선이 이루어 지도록 하는 방법을 제안하고자 한다. 폴리이미드 필름의 표면을 플라즈마 처리하여 표면에 나노돌기를 형성시키고 불소기를 함유한 코팅층을 형성시킴으로써 물에 대한 접촉각이 $150^{\circ}$이상이 되도록 초발수 처리할 수 있었다. 초발수 처리된 폴리이미드 기판에 쉐도우 마스크를 사용하여 UV조사함으로써 조사된 부분만 친수성을 가지는 패턴을 형성하였다. 이렇게 친수 패턴이 제작된 초발수 폴리이미드 유연기판을 실버잉크에 함침함으로써 선폭 $200{\mu}m$를 가지는 금속배선을 형성시켰다. 형성된 금속배선의 단면 형상을 측정하였으며, 열처리를 통하여 비저항이 $30{\mu}{\Omega}$-cm를 얻을 수 있었다. 통상 1회의 함침으로는 금속배선의 두께가 150nm정도로 금속배선으로 사용하기에는 얇아 배선의 두께를 증가시키기 위하여 수 회 함침을 시도하여 $2{\mu}m$의 두께로 증가시킬 수 있었다. 이때 선폭과 선간 간격은 크게 변하지 않고 두께만 증가시킬 수 있었다. 이는 금속배선을 형성한 후에도 폴리이미드 유연기판의 초발수성은 그대로 유지되어 여러번 함침할 때 잉크가 이미 형성된 배선에만 묻게 되어 두께는 증가하나 선폭과 선간 간격은 증가하지 않는 것으로 판단된다. 사용한 실버잉크는 실버의 함량은 10~20wt%인 수계 잉크였다.

The molecular areas and the interfacial tension behavior of ten nonionic surfactants, i.e., Span 20 and Tween 20, 40, 60. 80, 21, 61, 81, 65, & 85 are tested to assay their effects on the wetting and liquid retention properties of hydrophilic and hydrophobic fibrous materials. The molecular areas at water/air interface are derived from Gibbs’adsorption equations. The following conclusions are drawn from the results: 1) Span 20 is efficient in lowering the interfacial tension and effective in adsorption at the water/air interface, resulting in the low interfacial tension at critical micelle concentration (${\gamma}$$_{CMC}$) and a small molecular area($\omega$), 2) when the hydrophiles of the surfactants are constant, $\omega$’s increase as hydrophobe carbon numbers of the surfactants increase, 3) when the hydrophobes are constant, ${\gamma}$$_{CMC}$’s and $\omega$’s increase as the hydrophile ethylene oxide units increase, indicating effectiveness and efficiency is parallel in this case, 4) the ethylene oxide unit length as a hydrophile has greater influence on u than the hydrophobe chain length.han the hydrophobe chain length.gth.
