It is known that latex-modified concretes were increased their durability and permeability by added latex. The purpose of this study was to analysis the air void systems in latex-modified concretes using a reasonable and objective image analysis method with main experimental variables such as water-cement ratios, latex contents(0%, 15%) and cement types(ordinary portland cement, high-early strength cement and very-early strength cement). The results are analyzed spacing factor, air volume after hardened, air distribution and structure. Also, air void systems and permeability of latex-modified concretes were compared with correlation. The results are as follows; The same w/c ratio LMC showed better air entraining effect than OPC with AE water reducer. The VES-LMC showed that the number of entrained air below $100{\mu}m$ increased more than four times. In the HES-LMC, micro entraining air having range from 50 to $500{\mu}m$ increased above 7 times without antifoamer. Though spacing factor was measured low, latex-modified concretes were showed that permeability was good. It is considered that air void system does not have an effect on the property of latex-modified concretes but latex film is more influenced in the their durability.

The purpose of this study was to remove the excessive air foaming which was produced in mixing the RSLMC(latex-modified concrete with rapid-setting cement) by choosing the best antifoam agent type. A series of RSLMM(latex-modified mortar with rapid-setting cement) experiments were carried out as a basic experiments for RSLMC with the main experimental variables such as antifiamer types(A, B, C, D), antifoamer contents(0, 1, 2, 3%), and latex contents(10, 15%). Air content test and compressive strength tests were carried out to measure the improved properties of RSLMM. SEM analysis, also, was carried to observe the formation of latex film. The results of RSLMM showed that the decrease of 50% air content was obtained by admixturing an antifoam agent by 1%. This made the strength enhanced and the workability be within the purposed. The best properties of compressive strengths was obtained at latex content of 15% and D antifoam agent of 1%. compressive strength increased about 32.6%. The analysis of SEM results no difference in a formation of later film.

The hydrosilylation is an addition reaction of Si-H bond to unsaturated double bonds, which provides a convenient mechanism to synthesize poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-methylsiloxane)copolymer having siloxy units in polymer backbone. In this study, Poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-methylsiloxane) copolymer was synthesized through the polymerization reaction of cyclopentasiloxane with poly(methyl-hydrogen) siloxane. Silicone-hydrogen functional group of the poly(dimethylsiloxane-co-methylsiloxane) copolymer was substituted to the alkyl groups by hydrosilylation. And their structure was analyzed with FT-IR, H-NMR and GPC instruments, respectively. Surface tension of the synthetic compounds is increased from 22dyne/cm to 25dyne/cm according to increase additional EO moles. The cmc which was evaluated by surface tension was ranged $10^{-5}$ to $10^{-4}mol/L$ and it was decreased according to increase of dimethyl siloxyl content. HLB number of these surfactants was evaluated 9.5 to 11.5 range. These silicone surfactants is applied to self-emulsifier defoamer and personal care products as surface tension depressant, emulsifier, foam control agent.

As main components of antifoamers, we were used fatty alcohols, fatty acid and fatty acid esters. Then the antifoaming properties on the particle size distribution, temperature and concentration for antifoamers was measured by Air Injection Method of ASTM under 1L/min air flow rate condition, and was measured surface tensions and emulsifying power of antifoamers. The antifoaming properties on the particle size distribution of antifoamers showed excellent antifoaming properties in the range of emulsion particle size from 5.5 to 6.8${\mu}m$. Surface tensions on the $10^{-2}$wt% aqueous solution of antifoamers was $33{\sim}34$ mN/m. And emulsifying power of fatty alcohol antifoamers showed good.

There are many synthetic chemicals, such as di(2-ethylhexyl) phthalate (DEHP) and dibutyl phthalate (DBP), used in chemical reaction processes in industry. The establishment of toxicity and detection of synthetic chemicals that may pose a genetic hazard in our enviornment is subjects of great concern at present DEHP, a ubiquitous phthalate plasticizer, induces a wide range of developmental and reproductive toxicities in mammals. DEHP belongs to the large diverse class of peroxisome proliferator compounds, which include herbicides, hypolipidemic drugs. DBP is a plasticizer used to products containing nitrocellulose, polyvinyl acetate, and polyvinyl chloride such as food wraps and blood bags. DBP is also used in cosmetics as a solvent and fixative for perfumes, a suspension agent for solids, an antifoamer, a skin emollient, and hair spray The present study was performed to examine patterns of gene expression in MCF-7 cells following DEHP and DBP exposure. Changes in gene expression were determined by microarray analysis using KISTCHIP-400 including 401 endocrine related genes based on public database and research papers. Of the genes analysis, we determined that genes detected by array showed a 2-fold or greater change in their expression level(increase or decrease). The results of this study demonstrate that a number of genes were differentially expressed in MCF-7 cells but these changes were not significant. Therefore, we keep going this study using microarray analysis and future studies will examine changes of gene expression on time-course and does treatment in variable cell lines.
