In this study, we developed a liquid crystal (LC)-based optical sensor for monitoring enzymatic activity through orientational changes in liquid crystals (LCs) coupled to the properties of a poly-${\small{L}}$-lysine (PLL)-based polymeric membrane. We prepared a PLL-based polymeric membrane at the planar interface between the thermotropic liquid crystal and aqueous phases. The PLL-based polymeric membrane was obtained by contacting the PLL solution with water immiscible LCs, 4-cyano-4'-pentyl-biphenyl (5CB) doped with adipoyl chloride. We then investigated the membrane properties by examining the permeability of the membrane to phospholipids, 1,2-didodecanoyl-rac-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DLPC). The permeability of the membrane to transport phospholipids was monitored through the orientational transition of 5CB in contact with the dispersions of DLPC. Since trypsin can enzymatically catalyze the hydrolysis of PLL, we incubated an aqueous trypsin solution with the membrane for 2 h at room temperature to cause an increase in the permeability of the polymeric membrane to DLPC. As a result, a bright to dark optical shift of LCs was observed, which implied that an enzymatic reaction between trypsin and PLL-based membrane occurred. Two control experiments using chymotrypsin and bovine serum albumin (BSA) revealed no sign of improved permeability based on the orientational transition of LCs.

Two-dimensional modeling studies using TOUGHREACT were conducted to investigate the coupling between flow and transport developed as a consequence of differences in density, dissolution/ precipitation, and medium heterogeneity. The model includes equilibrium reactions for aqueous species, kinetic reactions between tile solid phases and aqueous constituents, and full coupling of porosity and permeability changes resulting from precipitation and dissolution reactions in porous media. Generally, the evolutions in the concentrations of the aqueous phase are intimately related to the reaction-front dynamics. Plugging of the medium contributed to significant transients in patterns of flow and mass transport.

The O/W and W/O emulsions containing Scutellariae Radix extract(SRE) which is very slightly soluble in oil phases and sparingly soluble in water phases, were prepared by homogenizing water and oil phases with emulsifier. The diameters of emulsion were ranged from 100 to $300\;{\mu}m$. The viscosity of W/O emulsion was higher than that of O/W emulsion. W/O emulsion was more stable than O/W emulsion which was gradually degraded when tested by centrifuge method and temperature tolerance method at $50^{\circ}C$. The antibacterial activity of two emulsions was not significantly different from that of aqueous solution of SRE, and showed similar MIC and bacterial growth inhibition rate.

TBP 유기상으로 부터 질산용액으로 U(VI)의 물질 이동과 그 질산용액에서 U(VI)의 U(IV)으로 전해 환원과정을 갖는 두 상으로 구성된 계에서 U(IV)을 전해적인 방법으로 생산하기 위해 필요한 기본설계 자료로서의 운전조건 및 전극면적 계산을 위한 계의 수치해석이 수행되었다. 효과적인 U(IV)의 생산수율을 위해서는 적절한 물질전달 면적을 유지시키는 것이 전극면적을 증가시키는 것보다 중요하였으며, 전극면적과 운전시 간은 최종 수용액의 U(IV) 조성에 큰 영향을 주는 것을 알 수 있었다 또한 여러 계의 조건에서 최종 용액의 U(IV) 생산 조건을 만족시키기 위한 최적 전극면적이 계산되었다. 수용상의 최적 질산 농도는 U(IV) 생산만을 위해서는 약 0.37M이나, 용액중의 U(IV)의 가수분해를 방지하기 위해 최소한 0.5M을 유지해야 함을 알 수 있었다.

Two liquid chromatographic chiral stationary phases (CSPs) based on (+)-(18-crown-6)-2,3,11,12-tetracarboxylic acid were successfully applied in the resolution of racemic tocainide and its analogues. In the resolution of tocainide, especially, the CSP containing N-CH₃ amide tethering groups was quite effective, showing clear baseline resolution (RS: 2.66) with reasonable enantioselectivity ( a: 1.25). Consequently, the CSP containing N-CH₃ amide tethering groups is expected to be useful to monitor the enantiomeric composition of tocainide in clinical samples. In addition, the chromatographic behaviors for the resolution of tocainide and its analogues on the two CSPs were found controllable by varying the content and the type of organic and acidic modifiers in aqueous mobile phase.

The purpose of this study was to assess the effect of surfactant on the rate of NAPLs(non-aqueous phase liquids) solubilization. The experimental variables were surfactant type, NAPLs type and water type. The main experimental designs were consists of two phases. The solubilization rate is sensitive to surfactant type based on this test. Used aqueous surfactants were solubilized and removed 72.77 to 89.90% of toluene, PCE(tetrachloroethylene) from the contaminated water during the test, respectively. T60 has higher and stable recovery ratio than SDS in surfactant type but, the micelle of the T60 is more weaker than that of SDS based on this study's results. And the solubilization rate in used water type was almost same.(deionized water, surface water).

본 연구에서는 숙신산 추출을 위한 효과적인 분리공정으로서 피페리딘계 이온성 액체/$K_2HPO_4$에 의한 수상이성분계를 적용하여 수상이성분계 형성 특성 및 추출특성을 고찰하였다. 실험 결과 $K_2HPO_4$ 수용액에 적정량의 피페리딘계 이온성 액체를 첨가함에 따라 안정한 수상이성분계가 형성됨을 확인할 수 있었으며 이성분계 형성능력은 이온성 액체 내 양이온의 알킬 사슬길이에 따라 증가하였다. $K_2HPO_4$ 수용액을 기준으로 피페리딘계 이온성 액체의 수상이성분계 형성 능력은 이미다졸계나 피롤리딘계에 비해 우수하였다. 피페리딘계 이온성 액체를 이용한 수상이성분계 추출에 있어 숙신산 추출 효율은 75~95%의 범위를 가지며 이 값들은 이미다졸계나 피롤리딘계와 큰 차이가 없었다. 그러므로 피페리딘계 이온성 액체를 이용한 수상이성분계를 숙신산 추출에 적용할 경우 이미다졸계 및 피롤리딘계에 비해 적은 양의 이온성 액체를 사용하여 높은 추출효율을 얻을 수 있음을 확인할 수 있었다.

숙신산은 의약품, 식품 첨가물, 청정용매와 같은 종래의 응용 이외에도 생분해성 고분자의 중요한 전구물질로 주목 받고 있다. 그러나 최근 화석 연료의 높은 가격과 화석 원료 유래 제품의 전주기에 걸친 온실가스 배출로 인해 재생 가능한 바이오매스에 의한 숙신산의 생물학적 생산에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 본 연구에서는 숙신산의 선택적인 추출과 농축을 동시에 수행할 수 있는 공정으로서 이미다졸계 이온성 액체/$K_2HPO_4$에 의한 수상이성분계를 적용하였다. 실험 결과 숙신산에 존재하는 $K_2HPO_4$ 수용액에 적정량의 이미다졸계 이온성 액체가 첨가됨에 따라 안정한 수상이성분계가 형성됨을 확인할 수 있었으며 수상이성분계 형성 능력은 [HMIm][Br]${\fallingdotseq}$[OMIm][Br]>[BMIm][Br]>[EMImBr]의 순서로 나타났다. 숙신산의 최대 추출 효율은 약 90%였으며 이온성 액체에서 양이온 사슬길이가 증가할수록 상부상으로 동반 추출되는 물의 양이 줄어들어 숙신산의 선택적 농축효과가 크게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 사용된 이미다졸계 이온성 액체와 $K_2HPO_4$으로 구성된 수상이성분계는 숙신산의 선택적 추출과 농축에 효과적임을 알 수 있었다.

Organic aerosols dispersed in the atmosphere likely undergo phase separation. Such internally mixed particles are often described as comprising an organic phase and an aqueous phase separately. We studied the morphology of two liquid separated aerosols in the sub-microscale by using a simple thermodynamic model with Russian doll geometry. The morphology of particles can be easily predicted from the simple criteria on the surface tension and two algebraic equations (the volume constraint and Young equation). This result may give the potential explanation about the complex morphology of the organic airborne particles.

Two-stage emulsion polymerizations of hydrophobic monomers on hydrophilic seed polymer particles were carried out to make core-shell composite particles. It was found that the loci of polymerization in the second stage were the surface layer of the hydrophilic seed latex particles, and that it has resulted in the formation of either eccentric core-shell particles with the core exposed to the aqueous phase or aggregated nonspherical composite particles with the shell attached on the seed surface as many small separated particles. The driving force of these phenomena is related to the gain in free energy of the system in going from the hydrophobic polymer-water interface to hydrophilic polymer-water interface. Thermodynamic analysis of the present polymerization system, which was based on spreading coefficients, supported the likely occurrence of such nonspherical particles due to the combined effects of interfacial free energies and phase separation between the two polymer phases. A hypothetical pathway was proposed to prepare hydrophilic core-hydrophobic shell composite latex particles, which is based on the concept of opposing driving and resistance forces for the phase migration. It was found that the viscosity of the monomer-swollen polymer phase played important role in the formation of particle morphology.
