We performed time-domain terahertz (THz) spectroscopy to determine optical constants of highly conductive carbon nanotube (CNT) films. The CNT films have been fabricated on a flexible plastic substrate by using spin-coating or vacuum filtration. We found that the transmission of THz waves can be controlled by manipulating the thickness of the films and by post-treatments. From amplitude and phase information of the transmitted THz waves, we obtain optical constants such as refractive indices and dielectric constants of the CNT films. The frequency dependent dielectric constants show good metallic behaviors, relevant to the Drude free electron models with high plasma frequencies. It is also found that the dielectric constants are higher for the acid-treated films. Finally, the frequency dependent dielectric constants which are free from substrate effects have been demonstrated by using CNT films deposited on cellulose membranes.

The king oyster mushroom (Pleurotus eryngii) is widely consumed because of its flavor, texture, and its functional properties such as antioxidant activity and prebiotic effects. However, long-term product storage and transportation (e.g., export) are difficult because of its limited durability. The shelf-life of king oyster mushroom is affected by environmental factors such as temperature, humidity, gas composition, and ventilation, which may affect sensory characteristics including respiration rate, texture, moisture, flavor, color, and pH. The major problems regarding storage of mushrooms are browning, flavor changes, and softening. To address these problems, novel preservation techniques were developed, and more durable variants were bred. Different drying methods, gamma irradiation, chitosan coating, modified atmosphere (MA) packaging, and controlled atmosphere (CA) storage were evaluated in order to extend the shelf-life of king oyster mushrooms. Freeze drying showed better results for the preservation of mushrooms than other drying methods. Irradiation with 1 kGy was more effective for extending mushroom shelf-life than higher doses. The preservative performance of chitosan-based films was improved by combining the compound with other hydrocolloids, such as oil, protocatechuic acid, and wax. The CA storage conditions recommended for king oyster mushrooms are 5kPa $O_2$ and 10 to 15kPa $CO_2$ at temperatures below $10^{\circ}C$. Active MA packaging with microperforated PP film was also effective for maintaining quality during storage.

버섯은 균사체와 자실체를 가진 고등균류로서 옛날부터 식용은 물론 약용으로 많이 사용되어 왔으며 부작용이 없는 저칼로리 식품으로서, 영양적인 측면과 의약품으로서의 효능을 가진 식품으로 인식되어 소비량이 날로 증가하는 추세이다. 버섯은 항균자용, 항암작용, 면역증강작용, 혈압강하 효과 및 혈중 콜레스테롤합성 억제효과 등의 다양한 생리활성을 나타내고 있어 국내에서도 버섯의 균사체 배양이 활기를 띄고 있다. 본 연구에서는 5종류의 버섯(아가리쿠스, 상황, 노루궁뎅이, 운지, 동충하초)의 균사체 배양원액을 10%, 30%, 50%, 100% 함유한 음료로서 전자공여능, 아질산염소거능, MDA cell과 A549 cell에 대한 암세포 증식억제 작용을 조사하였다. 5종류의 버섯 균사체 음료의 전자공여능은 발효원액을 30% 함유한 경우에 72∼89%였으며 100% 원액의 경우는 87∼93%의 탁월한 항산화능을 나타내었다. 균사체 음료의 아질산염 소거능은 노루궁뎅이버섯이 가장 높아서 균사체 원액은 73%, 112 희석액은 51%였으며 다음은 동충하초의 균사체 원액이 52%를 나타내었고 나머지 3종류의 버섯 균사체는 28∼36%의 아질산염소거능을 나타내었다. 균사체 발효음료 원액은 MBA cell에 대하여 5종류의 버섯 모두에서 82∼85%의 높은 암세포 증식억제작용을 나타내었고 동충하초는 1/2 희석액에서도 80%이상의 증식억제활성을 나타내었다. 균사체 발효음료 원액의 A549 cell에 대한 증식억제능은 동충하초 발효원액이 68%, 상황 발효원액이 50%로서 MDA cell에 대한 증식억제효과 보다는 효능이 낮은 편이었다. 전체적으로 5종류의 버섯 균사체 발효음료는 항산화작용, 아질산염소거능, 항암활성이 우수한 기능성 음료로 활용될 수 있을 것으로 생각된다.적으로 평가하는데 적합하나 아직 국내에선 X-선을 이용한 가공용 감자의 내부 결함특성에 대한 연구는 이뤄지지 않고 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 가공용 감자의 내부결함 특성중 하나인 내부동공의 X-선에 의한 특성을 본 연구소에 있는 X-선 발생장비로 측정해 보고 비파괴적인 방법으로 실시간 가능성을 시험하였다. 감자는 수원 농산물 도매시장에서 2003년산 가공용 감자 (품종:선농)를 구매하여 사용하였다. 감자내 내부동공은 35 ∼ 40 kV와 5.25 mA값으로 발생된 X-선에 의해 잘 검출되는 것으로 나타나, 현장에서 충분히 활용가능 할 것으로 판단되었다. 금후, 실시간으로 내부동공을 검출할 수 있는 시스템을 개발할 계획이다.정한 결과 메탄올에서는 5% 농도차이가 그 추출효율에 유의적인 영향을 주지 않는 것으로 나타났다. 에탄올에서는 40%에서 가장 높은 함량이 측정되었고 아세톤에서는 50%에서 측정되었다. 따라서 시료의 상태와 상관없이 배 과피의 페놀성물질 추출용매로는 40∼70%의 함수 아세톤이 적합한 것으로 사료된다.en delicious는 상온에서60일 동안 보관하였을 경우, 사과표피의 색도 변화를 현저히 지연시킴을 확인하였다. 또한 control과 비교하여 성공적으로 사과에 코팅하였으며, 상온에서 보관하여을 때 사과의 품질을 30일 이상 연장하는 효과를 관찰하였다. 이들 결과로부터 대두단백질 필름이 과일 등의 포장제로서 이용할 가능성을 확인하였다.로 [-wh] 겹의문사는 복수 의미를 지닐 수 없 다. 그러면 단수 의미는 어떻게 생성되는가\ulcorner 본 논문에서는 표면적 형태에도 불구하고 [-wh]의미의 겹의문사는 병렬적 관계의 합성어가 아니라 내부구조를 지니지 않은 단순한 단어(minimal $X^{0}$ elements

세계적으로 최소가공식품(minimally processed foods)의 시장이 확대되면서, 최소가공된 과채류의 미생물학적 안전성 확보가 중요한 사안으로 대두되고 있다. 이에 본 연구는 김치제조용 원료배추를 모델로 하여 감마선 및 가스치환 포장법을 병용한 절임배추의 미생물학적, 이화학적 특성을 평가하였다. Fresh-cut상태의 절임배추(염농도 3%)를 각각 air, 100% $CO_2$, 25% $CO_2$/75% $N_2$가스를 주입하여 포장한 후 0, 0.5, 1, 2 kGy의 선량으로 감마선 조사하여 3주 동안 저장하면서 분석에 사용하였다. Total aerobic bacteria, coliforms, Salmonella, lactic acid bacteria의 분포를 살펴본 결과, $CO_2$혹은 $CO_2$/$N_2$포장과 감마선을 병용처리한 경우 저장기간 동안 total aerobic bacteria, coliforms 및 Salmonella 모두 1kGy의 선량에서 90% 이상 감소시킬 수 있는 것으로 나타나, 일반 함기포장보다 효과적인 것으로 나타났다. 색도 및 물성은 포장방법에 따른 차이를 보이지 않았으며, pH의 경우도 감마선 조사 및 가스치환 포장시 더욱 효과적으로 유지할 수 있었다. FRAP(ferric reducing antioxidant power) value 및 DPPH radical 소거능과 같은 생리활성 능력을 측정한 결과 포장방법 및 감마선 조사에 의한 차이를 보이지 않았다. 따라서 가스치환 포장 및 감마선 조사를 병용시 함기포장구 보다 낮은 감마선 조사선 량에서 병원성 미생물을 제어할 수 있었으며, 이화학적 품질이 우수하고 저장성이 향상된 절임배추를 제조할 수 있었다.7로 4$0^{\circ}C$ 진공건조와 -7$0^{\circ}C$ 동결건조의 L값 변화보다 큰 변화를 보였고, 또한‘a’값과 ‘b’값의 경우도 마찬가지로 5$0^{\circ}C$ 열풍건조의 경우가 양파의 내부와 외부면의 적색도 및 황색도 변화가 크게 일어나는 경향을 나타내었다. 건조과정 중 vitamin C의 함량변화는 건조에 의한 수분함량의 감소로 vitamin C의 함량은 상대적으로 증가하였고, -7$0^{\circ}C$ 동결건조의 경우가 가장 높은 vitamin C의 증가량을 나타내었고, 그와 반대로 5$0^{\circ}C$ 열풍건조의 경우는 열에 의한 vitamin C의 변화로 인한 상대적 증가량은 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다.아현미가 더욱 조밀하였다. 10시간 탈삽처리에서 상품성이 우수하였다. 그러나 25'E 28시간 탈삽처리는 탈삽의 균일도가 다른 처리에 비해 떨어지는 경향이었다. 경우, 사과표피의 색도 변화를 현저히 지연시킴을 확인하였다. 또한 control과 비교하여 성공적으로 사과에 코팅하였으며, 상온에서 보관하여을 때 사과의 품질을 30일 이상 연장하는 효과를 관찰하였다. 이들 결과로부터 대두단백질 필름이 과일 등의 포장제로서 이용할 가능성을 확인하였다.로 [-wh] 겹의문사는 복수 의미를 지닐 수 없 다. 그러면 단수 의미는 어떻게 생성되는가\ulcorner 본 논문에서는 표면적 형태에도 불구하고 [-wh]의미의 겹의문사는 병렬적 관계의 합성어가 아니라 내부구조를 지니지 않은 단순한 단어(minimal $X^{0}$ elements)로 가정한다. 즉, [+wh] 의미의 겹의문사는 동일한 구성요 소를 지닌 병렬적 합성어([$[W1]_{XO-}$ $[W

Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are a family of microbial polyesters that can be produced by fermentation from renewable resources. PHAs can be used as completely biodegradable plastics or elastomers. In this paper, novel applications of PHAs in biosensor are described. A general platform technology was developed by using the substrate binding domain (SBD) of PHA depolymerase as a fusion partner to immobilize proteins of interest on PHA surface. It could be shown that the proteins fused to the SBD of PHA depolymerase could be specifically immobilized onto PHA film, PHA microbead, and microcontact printed PHA surface. We review the results obtained for monitoring the specific interaction between the SBO and PHA by using enhanced green fluorescent protein, red fluorescent protein, single chain antibody against hepatitis B virus preS2 surface protein and severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus surface antigen as model proteins. Thus, this system can be efficiently used for studying protein-protein and possibly protein-biomolecule interactions for various biotechnological applications.

Production of eco-friendly and biologically harmless materials is strongly required in all industries. In particular, reducing volatile organic compounds in coating processes is extremely important to secure worker's safety. During recent two decades, extensive research works on water-borne polyurethane dispersion (PUD) have been continuously developed as an alternative to solvent-borne polyurethane. However, PUD was shown inferior mechanical properties to the organic solvent-borne polyurethane due to a limit to the molecular weight increase, which resulted in the limit of applications. To overcome this drawback, several approaches have been examined such as polymer blends and thermal/radiation induced crosslinking. Among these methods, the radiation curing system was suitable for industrialization because of the high crosslinking density and fast curing speed. In this study, we overcame the drawback for PUD via introducing benzophenone radiation curable units to PUD. We synthesized PUD films which possessed good dispersion in water for 30 days, increased Tg and Td more than $5^{\circ}C$ after UV curing film as well as improved young's modulus more than double.

We investigated an electrochemical properties for Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films of saturated fatty acid and phospholipid(L-${\alpha}$-dimyristoylphosphatidyl choline, DMPC) mixture. LB films of saturated fatty acid and DMPC monolayer were deposited by the LB method on the indium tin oxide(ITO) glass. The electrochemical properties measured by cyclic voltammetry with three-electrode system(an Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum wire counter electrode and LB film-coated ITO working electrode) in $NaClO_4$ solution. As a result, monolayer LB films of saturated fatty acid and phospholipid mixture was appeared on irreversible process caused by the oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram. Diffusion coefficient (D) of saturated fatty acid and DMPC mixture(molar ratio 1:1, C12, C14, C16, C18) was calculated $1.2{\times}10^{-3}$, $2.1{\times}10^{-3}$, $1.4{\times}10^{-4}$ and $1.1{\times}10^{-3}cm^2/s$ in 0.05 N $NaClO_4$ solution, respectively.

Biodegradable drug-eluting stent has dual functions of supporting the lumen and treating internal tumor preventing the restenosis by releasing drug. In this study, the polycaprolactone (PCL) based three dimensional (3D) mesh loaded with paclitaxel (PTX) was presented by rapid prototyping (RP) technique of solid freeform fabrication (SFF) for biodegradable drug-eluting stent application. PCL has many advantageous properties such as good biocompatibility, good mechanical properties, and good drug permeability. PTX is widely used in the cancer treatment by inhibiting tumor cell proliferation. Analytical methods of HPLC and NMR were used for simultaneous quantification of PTX. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was performed to observe the architecture and morphologies of 3D mesh. The cytotoxicity assay results indicated released PTX's biological activity. This study provided that PCL based 3D mesh loaded with PTX by RP technique has great potential for biodegradable drug-eluting stent application.

Advancements in thin-film nanocomposite (TFN) membrane technology for nanofiltration is crucial for removing pollutants from natural resources. In recent years, various metal-organic framework (MOF) modifications have been tested to overcome the drawbacks that are inevitable with conventional thin-film composite (TFC) and TFN membranes. In general, MIL-101(Cr), UiO-66, ZIF-8, and HKUST-1 [Cu3(BCT2)] are MOFs that were proven to exhibit excellent membrane performance in terms of solvent permeability and solute rejection; their respective studies are reviewed in this article. Other novelties, such as the simultaneous use of different MOFs and unique MOF layering techniques (e.g., dip-coating, spray pre-disposition, Langmuir-Schaefer film, etc.) are also discussed as they present alternate solutions for membrane enhancement and/or preparation convenience. Not only are these MOF-modified TFN membranes frequently shown to improve separation performance from their respective TFC and TFN membranes, but many reports also explain their potential for a cost-effective and environmentally friendly process. In this review the thin film nanocomposite nanofiltration membrane is discussed.

Research is being conducted on graphene to provide graphene having both excellent physical as well as electrical properties in addition to unique physical properties. In this study, Hummer's method, which is a representative method for chemical exfoliation, was applied in order to investigate the possibility of the mass production of high-quality graphene oxide. Three types of graphite (graphite, crystalline graphite, and expanded graphite) were used in the preparation of graphene oxide with variations in the amount of potassium permanganate added, reaction temperature, and reaction time. Then a Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), a Raman spectrometer, and a transmission electron microscope (TEM) were used to measure the quality of the prepared graphene oxide. Of the three types of graphite used in this experiment, crystalline graphite showed the highest quality. The prepared graphene oxide was then purified with an organic solvent, and an analysis conducted using energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS). From the results of the residual values, we were able to confirm that both acid wastewater and wastewater were best purified using cyclohexane. The method for manufacturing graphene oxide as well as the method of purification using organic solvents that are presented in this study are expected to have less of an environmental impact, making them environmentally friendly. This makes them suitable for use in various industrial fields such as the film industry and for heat dissipation and as coating agents.
