This study was conducted to develop environment-friendly agricultural products with anti-microbial activity against Acidovorax avenae subsp. citrulli as a pathogen of bacterial fruit blotch in cucurbit. Schlechtendalia chinensis was extracted by MeOH and solvent fraction. The hexane fraction, which showed highest value of anti-microbial activity, was analyzed by GC-MS. Each mass spectra, corresponding to each peak of chromatogram, was compared to MS database of Wiley library. As a result, myristic acid, palmitic acid and 3-n-pentadecylphenol were identified as maine compounds showing antimicrobial activity against A. avenae subsp. citrulli. Bioassay using commercial myristic acid, palmitic acid and 3-n-pentadecylphenol to test for the anti-microbial activity conformed the anti-microbial activity of potential active compounds, and myristic acid and 3-n-pentadecylphenol showed strong activity. In conclusion, myristic acid and 3-n-pentadecylphenol identified from S. chinensis were anti-microbial chemicals.

Molecular bottle-brush was prepared by hydrogen-bonding between poly(4-vinylpyridine)(P4VP) as main chain and 3-pentadecylphenol (PDP) as amphiphilic side chain. Variation of long period ( $L_{p}$), order-disorder transition temperature ( $T_{ODT}$) and mesomorphic structure of bottle-brush were investigated by changing various mole ratio (x) of pyridine group in P4VP and PDP and molecular weight of P4VP. Upper critical solution temperature (UCST) behaviour was observed. For x 0.8-0.9, maximum critical temperature was found. As molecular weight of P4VP was increased, phase transition occurred at higher temperature. It was found that phase behaviour of the bottle-brush was affected by mobility of P4VP as well as size and regularity of lamellar structure. The $L_{p}$ determined from analysis of crystal structure was in the range of 35 $\AA$ and 40 $\AA$ and was more affected by the molecular weight of P4VP than by mole ratio (x). However, if the molecular weight of P4VP was high, LP value was little affected.ted.d.

Hybrid thin films composed of block copolymer(BCP) and $TiO_2$ with various morphologies on the nanoscale were fabricated using self-assembly of block copolymer combined with sol-gel process. The factors governing morphology changes considered in this study are block copolymer composition, selectivity of solvent and the inclusion of an additive. We also investigated the efficiency of photoluminescence for selected films with different morphologies. Micelle or nanowire structure can be derived from the self-assembly of poly (styrene-block-4-vinyl pyridine) (PS-b-P4VP) depending on the relative selectivity of the solvent for the two blocks, and the titanium tetraisopropoxide ($Ti{OCH (CH_3)_2}_4$, TTIP) is coordinated with nitrogen in P4VP block. Addition of a third component 3-pentadecylphenol into the BCP/sol-gel mixture solution induces morphology change as a result of the change of relative volume fraction of the BCP. We confirmed that the efficiency of $TiO_2$ fluorescence changes for films depending on morphologies.
