Electrospun nanofibers are being widely used as a substratum for mammalian cell culture owing to their structural similarity to collagen fibers found in extracellular matrices of mammalian cells and tissues. Especially, development of diverse synthetic polymers has expanded use of electrospun nanofibers for constructing cell culture substrata. Synthetic polymers have several benefits comparing to natural polymer for their structural consistency, low cost, and capability for blending with other polymers or small molecules to enhance their structural integrity or add biological functions. PMGI (polymethylglutarimide) is one of the synthetic polymers that produced a rigid nanofiber that enables incorporation of small molecules, peptides, and gold nanoparticles through co-electrospinning process, during which the materials are fixed without any chemical modifications in the PMGI nanofibers by maintaining their activities. Using the phenomenon of PMGI nanofiber, here I introduce a construction method of a nanofiber substratum having cell-affinity function towards a pluripotent stem cell by incorporating a small molecule in the PMGI nanofiber.

The efficiency of complex slurry preparation route for developing the high performance SiC matrix of $RS-SiC_{f}/SiC$ composites has been investigated. The green bodies for RS-SiC materials prior to the infiltration of molten silicon were prepared with various C/SiC complex slurries, which associated with both the sizes of starting SiC particles and the blending conditions of starting SiC and C particles. The characterization of Rs-SiC materials was examined by means of SEM, EDS and three point bending test. Based on the mechanical property-microstructure correlation, the process optimization is also discussed. The flexural strength of Rs-SiC materials greatly depended on the content of residual Si. The decrease of starting SiC particle size in the C/SiC complex slurry was effective for improving the flexural strength of RS-SiC materials.

A characterization of the permeation and separation using single salt solution was carried out with charged composite membranes. Various charged composite membranes were fabricated by blending an ionic polymer with a nonionic polymer in different ratios. In this study, sodium alginate, chitosan and poly(vinyl alcohol) were employed as anionic, cationic and nonionic polymers, respectively. The permeation and separation behaviors of the aqueous salt solutions have been investigated through the charged composite membranes with various charge densities. As the content of the ionic polymer increased in the membrane, the hydrophilicity of the membrane increased, and pure water flux and the solution flux increased correspondingly, indicating that the permeation performance through the membrane is determined mainly by its hydrophilicity. Electrostatic interaction between the charged membrane and ionic solute molecules, that is, Donnan exclusion, was observed to be attributed to salt rejection to a greater extent, and molecular sieve mechanism was effective for the separation of salts under a similar electrostatic circumstance of solutes.

In the present study, we suggest a new method for designing complex ship hull forms with multiple domain B-spline surfaces accounting for their topological arrangement, where all subdomains are fully defined in terms of form parameters, e.g., positional, differential and integral descriptors. For the construction of complex hull forms, free-form elementary models such as forebody, afterbody and bulbs are united by Boolean operation and blending surfaces in compliance with the sectional area curve (SAC) of the whole ship. This new design process in this paper is called Sectional Area Curve-Balanced Parametric Design (SAC-BPD).

Methylmetharylate grafted latex(MGL) was prepared by emulsion graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate onto natural rubber latex(NRL) by using t-butyl hydroperoxide and tetraethylene pentamine in an aqueous medium. Blending of MGL and NRL with different mixing ratio carried out and viscosity and particle size distribution of blend latex were determined. It was found that the optimum condition of mature time, vulcanizing temperature and time for preparation of blend latex films were investigated. latex films prepared by dipping process were meaured. As the reuslt, blend latex(NR-d-MG) films obtained from two-dipping system were more excellent than NR and MG film obtained from one-dipping system.

A major topic in the field of network and telecommunications is doing business on the Word Wide Web(WWW), which is called Electronic Commerce(EC). Another major topic is blending Artificial Intelligent techniques with the WWW. To provide customer with the information of goods in suit with a customer liking, we propose multi agent system which is consist of customer agent and search agent etc. Also we use case-based reasoning for customer liking searching the information of goods and training through the reuse. This reuse make efficient management of information and a process of operation. In the relation between customer and goods, if there are some goods which is not search from case-base reasoning, we calculate satisfaction function for customer purchase goods. And to provide customer with the information of goods in the first of satisfaction function, This EC system can always provide the information of goods which is satisfied to customer.

고내열 및 고내화학적 특성을 갖는 미세다공성 고분자막의 개발을 위한 기초연구가 수행되었다. 본 연구에서는 고분자막 제조기법의 첨단기술로 등장한 열유도상 분리공정(Thermally Induced Phase Separation, 이하 TIPS)이 도입되었다. TIPS 공정은 고분자를 고분자의 용융점을 상회하는 온도에서 매우 미세하게 분산시킬 수 있는 희석제를 고분자와 함께 melt-blending하여 균일한 single phase의 용액을 만들고 이를 적당한 막의 형태로 성형한 후, 가해진 열을 제거하여 냉각시킴에 따라 polymer-rich phase 와 polymer-poor phase 로 구성되는 two phase system으로 상분리를 일으키는 방법이다. 이때 polymer-poor phase를 차지하는 희석제를 제거함에 따라 고분자 matrix 내에는 void volume이 형성되고, 그 결과 고분자 matrix 전체적으로 다공성이 부여되어 고분자막으로서의 기본적인 기능을 갖추게 된다.

The kneading process and formulations of feedstock obviously affect the quality of MIM products. In the present work, the rheological behaviour of the composite MIM feedstock, metal matrix (Cu) with few additions of ceramic powders $(Al_2O_3)$, was measured by a self-designed/manufactured simple capillary rheometer. Experimental results show that the distribution between powders and binder is more uniformly when blending time increased. Though high powder loading will increase the feedstock viscosity, the fluidity reveals relatively stable through the load curves of extrusion. Besides, the temperature-dependence of viscosity of the feedstock approximately follows an Arrehnius equation. Basing on Taguchi's method, the kneading optimization conditions and the rheological model of the feedstock were established, respectively.

Blends of ethylene-propylene-diene terpolymer(EPDM) and high density polyethylene(HDPE) have been prepared in a roll mill by the process "dynamic curing" where both blending and a crosslinking reaction was carried out simultaneously. As a crosslinking agent, dicumyl peroxide(DCP) was used. Throughout the experimental ranges, the dynamically cured polyblends were shown to be thermoplastic elastomers except highly crosslinked blends of high compositions of EPDM. The increase of melt viscosity was observed as EPDM composition and DCP contents increased. From DSC determinations, the crystallinity decreased with increasing contents of DCP. The tensile strength and elongation at break generally increased with increasing DCP content and increasing HDPE compositions, but highly depended on the combined effects of decreasing crystallinity and increasing crosslinking density.

In this paper, we introduce a technique for 360-degree panoramic video streaming with multiple virtual cameras in real-time. The proposed technique consists of generating 360-degree panoramic video data by ORB feature point detection, texture transformation, panoramic video data compression, and RTSP-based video streaming transmission. Especially, the generating process of 360-degree panoramic video data and texture transformation are accelerated by CUDA for complex processing such as camera calibration, stitching, blending, encoding. Our experiment evaluated the frames per second (fps) of the transmitted 360-degree panoramic video. Experimental results verified that our technique takes at least 30fps at 4K output resolution, which indicates that it can both generates and transmits 360-degree panoramic video data in real time.
