Modified polyethylenes with polar side groups of -COOK, $-CONH_2$, and -COOH were prepared at a dispersion state in water by reacting poly(ethylene-co-methylacrylate) (PEMA) with aqueous solution of KOH and ammonia. Types and their contents of side groups were investigated by infrared spectroscopy, elemental analysis and atomic absorption analysis. Solution viscosity and surface tension were also measured as a function of solid contents. Stability and transparency of the dispersions were greatly affected by the content of COOK in the side groups. The stable dispersion could be prepared at a composition of COOK of 20 mole% at least. The transparency was increased with increasing the COOK contents, but decreased with increasing the amide content at a constant composition of COOK. Solution viscosities increased abruptly at a lower solid content when the COOK contents were increased, implying higher entanglement between the chains in dispersions with higher content of hydrophilic COOK group. The dispersions of higher COOK content revealed lower surface tension values.

The modified polyethylene(m-PE) films were prepared from aqueous dispersions which were synthesized by reacting poly(ethylene-co-methylacrylate) with aqueous KOH and ammonia solution to attach -COOK, $CONH_2$, and COOH as pendent groups in the polyethylene backbones. Thermal, tensile and heat-seal properties were measured to investigate the effect of the pendent groups. Endothermic peaks on DSC curves were affected by the thermal history of the samples and a melting peak was observed at around $86^{\circ}C$ on the second heating curve while three melting peaks were shown on the first heating curve. A minimum value of tensile strength was shown at 70 mole% of COOK based on pendent groups. Tensile modulus increased with increasing the amide content in pendent groups. The m-PE films were heat-sealed at lower temperature than LDPE films and showed a minimum heat seal strength at around 70 mole% COOK content in pendent groups.

Highly open porous polymer matrices are required for high density cell seeding, efficient nutrient, and oxygen supply to the cells cultured in the three dimensional matrices. However, there are severe problems of mass transfer limitations within the cell/scaffolds culture system. Thus we hypothesize that continuos-flow culture conditioning of cells with the scaffolds may improve the cell viability and the differentiated function. In this study, we fabricated porous PLGA scaffolds by using gas-foaming/salt-leaching method as previous described. Viscous PLGA gel paste contains ammonium bicarbonate particulates, acting as a gas-foaming agent as well as a salt-leaching porogen, were cast into Teflon mold and dried. Ammonium bicarbonate salt upon contact to an acidic aqueous solution evloves gaseous ammonia and carbon dioxide by itself. And we conjugated galactose moiety [AGA; $N-(aminobuty1)-O-{\beta}-D-galactopyranosyl-(1{\rightarrow}4)-D-glucoamide]$ to the terminal end group of a PLGA to increase the cell adhesion and matain the differentiated function of hepatocytes. Cell-seeded scaffolds were secured in a flow bioreactor chamber and exposed to continuous flow at 5 ml/min. As a result of our study, the high yield of hepatocytes attachment was accomplished by increasing the concentration of PLGA-AGA conjugate in polymer scaffolds and cells in the scaffolds under continuos flow condition maintained a high level of viability and albumin secretion rate of cultured hepatocytes showed a higher level that of control groups.

Titanium sulfate supported on $TiO_2$was prepared by impregnation of powdered $TiO_2$with an aqueous solution of titanium sulfate followed by calcining in air at high temperature. For Ti$(SO_4)_2/TiO_2$ samples calcined at 300 $^{\circ}C$, no diffraction lines of titanium sulfate are observed at $Ti(SO_4)_2$loading up to 30 wt%, indicating good dispersion of $Ti(SO_4)_2$ on the surface of $TiO_2$. The acidity of the catalysts increased in proportion to the titanium sulfate content up to 20 wt% of $Ti(SO_4)_2$. 20 wt% $Ti(SO_4)_2/TiO_2$ calcined at 300 $^{\circ}C$ exhibited maximum catalytic activities for 2-propanol dehydration and cumene dealkylation. The catalytic activities for these reactions, were correlated with the acidity of catalysts measured by ammonia chemisorption method.

In our study, we have focused on optimizing good quality of ZnS buffer layer by chemical bath deposition (CBD) from a bath containing $ZnSO_4$, Thiourea and Ammonia in aqueous solution onto CIGS solar cells. The influence of deposition parameter such as pH, deposition temperature, stirring speed played a very important role on transmission, homogeneity, crystalline of ZnS buffer layer. The transmission spectrum showed a good transmission characteristic above 80% invisible spectral region. CIGS thin flim solar cell with ZnS buffer layer has been realized with the efficiency of 14.2%.

A method to analyse the concentration of mixture (AC/urea) and the concentration of urea or AC alone was developed. In this study, the decomposition of AC solution to ammonium bicarbonate was suppressed by using of 15% w/v ammonia as a solvent and the error of equilibrium point was maintained less than 1 %. Strong peaks at $1600cm^{-1}$ for urea and at $1405cm^{-1}$ for AC, corresponding to the N-H bending and symmetric carboxylate ion stretch were used to construct calibration graph and equations for the measurement of concentration. The errors of calculated concentration were ${\pm}0.1%$ w/v for AC and ${\pm}0.3%$ w/v for urea.

Vanadium oxides supported on zirconia and modified with MoO₃were prepared by adding Zr(OH)₄powder into a mixed aqueous solution of ammonium metavanadate and ammonium molybdate followed by drying and calcining at high temperatures. The characterization of prepared catalysts was performed using FTIR, Raman spectroscopy and solid-state $^{51}V$ NMR. In the case of a calcination temperature of 773 K, for samples containing low loading of $V_2O_5$, below 15 wt %, vanadium oxide was in a highly dispersed state, while for samples containing high loading of $V_2O_5$, equal to or above 15 wt %, vanadium oxide was well crystallized because the $V_2O_5$ loading exceeded the formation of a monolayer on the surface of $ZrO_2$. The $ZrV_2O_7$ compound was formed through the reaction of $V_2O_5\;and\;ZrO_2$ at 873 K and the compound decomposed into $V_2O_5\;and\;ZrO_2$ at 1073 K, which were confirmed by FTIR spectroscopy and solid-state $^{51}V$ NMR. IR spectroscopic studies of ammonia adsorbed on $V_2O_5-MoO_3/ZrO_2$ showed the presence of both Lewis and Bronsted acids.

Experimental Investigations were carried out to remove NOx, SOx simultaneously from simulated flue gas[NO(0.02%)-SO$_2$(0.08%)-$CO_2$-Air-$N_2$] by using a plasma chemical reaction. Ammonia gas(14.81%) balanced by argon was diluted by all and was Introduced to mall simulated flue gas duct through NH$_3$ Injection system which is in downstream of reactor. The NH$_3$ molecular ratio(MR) was determined based on (NH3) to [NO+S0$_2$]. MR is 1, 1.5, 2.5. The NOx removal rate significantly increased with increasing NaOH bubble quantity. The SO$_2$ removal rate was not significantly effected by applied voltage, however it fairly Increased with increasing NH$_3$ molecule ratio. By-product aerosol particle was observed by XRD(X-ray diffraction) after sampling, The NOx, SOx removal rates, when H2O vapour bubbled by dry all was injected to plasma reactor, were better than those of other cases. When aqueous NaOH solution(20%) bubbled by 2.5( ι /min) of $N_2$ and 0.5 ( ι /min) NH$_3$(MR=1.5) were injected to simulated flue gas, The NOx. SOx removal rate was 95 ~ 100[%]

This study was conducted to investigate the potential of the neutral extract (NE) prepared by treating P. radiata bark with aqueous NaHCO3 solution as a natural dyestuff. Silk and cotton fabrics were dyed at four different NE concentrations, 0.5%, 1.0%, 1.5%, and 2.0% o.w.b. (on the weight of bath). The fabric to liquid ratio of 1 : 50, dyeing temperature of 90℃, and dyeing time of 90 min were used as the fixed condition. The appropriate NE dyeing concentration of silk and cotton fabrics was 1.5% o.w.b. Colors of the dyed silk and cotton fabrics were brown and light brown, respectively. From colorfastness assessment, both dyed silk and cotton showed good washing and rubbing fastness, but poor light fastness. NE dyed fabrics exhibited excellent ammonia deodorization property and antibacterial activity against Staphylococcus aureus and Klebsiella pneumoniae. Therefore, NE of P. radiata bark could have the potential for use as a functional brown dyestuff.

Purpose In the preparation process for N-13 Ammonia injections, there were radioactive medicines adsorbed on filters remarkably. Hereby, we have compared the adsorption rate and quality test on Millex GS filter and Satorious Minisart filter, both representatively hydrophilic sterilizing filters, also evaluated which filter is more accommodative for N-13 Ammonia injection. Materials and Methods The filters used for sterilization of N-13 Ammonia injections were Millex GS filter($0.22{\mu}m$) mand Satorious Minisart filter ($0.2{\mu}m$), which are generally used to strain aqueous solutions. After the N-13 Ammonia passes through each sterilization filter, the adsorption rate of the filter (n=10) is determined by measuring not only the radioactivity through the filter also the amount of radioactivity remaining in it using a Dose Calibrator. The N-13 Ammonia injections after each filter is tested by the quality control test to conform to the Samsung Medical Center standard. Results The ratio of radioactivity passed through Millex GS indicated $29.0{\pm}17.6%$. Satorious Minisart filters output was $80.9{\pm}3.2%$, respectively. Each ratio of radioactivity adsorbed on the sterile filter was $71.0{\pm}17.6%$ for Millex GS and $19.1{\pm}3.2%$ for the Satorious Minisart filters, respectively. Furthermore, on the ratio of filtered radioactivity, Using Satorious Minisart filter showed about 2.8 times higher than using Millex GS filter. The quality testing of N-13 Ammonia injections through each filter met the Samsung Medical Center standard. Conclusion The Millex GS filter is composed of cellulose acetate and cellulose nitrate, whereas the Satorious Minisart filter if composed only of cellulose acetate. Therefore, the presence of cellulose nitrate in the membrane seems to have made differences. Therefore, the use of Satorious Minisart filter in the preparation of N-13 Ammonia injection solution minimized the loss of radioactive medicines due to filter adsorption, thereby improving the synthesis yield.
