In this research, polymeric anionic surfactants having various molecular weights and acid values were synthesized using a continuous stirred tank reactor (CSTR). The CSTR has an advantage of higher production rate and more constant product properties compared to batch and semi-batch reactors. The polymeric surfactants were made using butyl acrylate as a hydrophobic group and acrylic acid as a hydrophilic group. The synthesized polymeric surfactants were ionized with alkali solution and were used as an anionic surfactant. To investigate the properties as a surfactant, the properties of the synthesized surfactant, such as acid value, critical micelle concentration (CMC) and molecular weight, were measured. The results showed that the acid values of the polymeric surfactants were 60 to 380 and a number average molecular weight were 8,000 to 13,000 g/mol. Also, it was found that the CMC was around 0.01 g/ml, which showed similar level values with ordinary surfactant. To prove the performance of the polymeric surfactant, acrylic emulsion PSAs were synthesized using the acquired polymeric surfactant. The results showed that the maximum peel strength of 21.24 N/25mm when acid value was 150 and molecular weight was 8,500 g/mol. The values of peel strength and initial tack of acrylic emulsion PSAs using polymeric surfactant synthesized in this study showed much higher than those of reference PSAs synthesized using ordinary anionic surfactant, SDS (Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate) and SDS/TRX (Triton X-100).

The effect of organic additives, thiourea (TU), on the copper electroplated layer of large rectangular size was investigated through physical and various electrochemical techniques. It was found that TU had strong adsorption characteristics on the Ni substrate and affected the initial electroplating process by inducing surface reaction instead of mass transfer in the bulk solution. TU additives had its critical micelle concentration at 200 ppm in copper sulphate solution and showed abrupt change in morphological and electrochemical impedance spectroscopic results around this concentration, which could be related with the destruction of adsorption structure of TU-Cu(I) complex formed at the Ni substrate surface. By conducting a commercial electroplating simulation, when TU additives was included at cmc in the plating solution, it acted as a depolarizer for copper electrodeposition and was effective to reduce the unevenness of copper deposits between centre and edge region at high current densities of 10 ASD.

The solubilization of BTEX was evaluated in aqueous surfactant solutions with and without several additives. Anionic surfactant(Sodium Dodecyl Sulfate, SDS) and nonionic surfactants (NEODOL(equation omitted)25-3 and $SOFTANOL\circledR-90$ were used as test surfactants. The effects of surfactant HLB(Hydrophile-Lipophile Balance) Number and hydrocarbon molar volume and polarity of BTEX on the MSR(Molar Solubilization Ratio), micelle-water partition coefficient of BTEX, and CMC(C,itical Micelle Concentration) were investigated. Optimizing treatment conditions applicable to enhanced solubilization was also studied by manupulating salinity or electrolyte control with additives of ethyl alcohol, hydrotrope, and electrolyte solution. The most effective surfactant for solubilization was found $SOFTANOL\circledR-90$, since HLB number of 13.6 is similar to those values of BTEX ranging between 11.4 and 12.2, which was also proved experimentally. Ethyl alchohol of 3% was the most effective additives in reducing CMC and improving solubilization among the conditions using SDS, NEODOL(equation omitted)25-3, and $SOFTANOL\circledR-90$ with three additives. The partitioning of BTEX between surfactant micelles and aqueous solutions was characterized by a mole fraction micelle-phase/aqueous phase partion coefficient, $K_m$. Values of log $K_m$. for BTEX compounds in surfactant solutions of this study range from 2.95 to 3.76(100mM SDS) and 2.95 to 3.49(117mM $SOFTANOL\circledR-90$. Log $K_m$ appears to be a linear function of log $K_{ow}$ for SDS and $SOFTANOL\circledR-90$. A knowledge of partitioning of BTEX in aqueous surfactant system can be a prerequisite for the understanding of the behavior of hydrophobic organic compounds in soil-water systems in which surfactants play a role in remediation of contaminated soil and facilitated transport.

Electrochemical behavior of 1.0mM bis(2,2'-bipyridyl)copper( II )(${Cu(bpy)_2}^{2+}$) in 100mM NaCl+27mM $MgCl_2$ solution with and without sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS) is investigated. In the presence of SDS, $E_{pa}$ and $E_{1/2}$ of ${Cu(bpy)_2}^{2+/1+}$ shifts to the positive direction compared to the SDS free. Teh intersection of two lines on ${\Delta}E_p$ vs. -log[SDS] plot for 1.0mM $Cu(bpy)_2(NO_3)_2$ in 100mM NaCl+27mM $MgCl_2$ solution is a critical micelle concentration(CMC). Reduced form ${Cu(bpy)_2}^{1+}$ in the presence of $MgCl_2$ is more easily associated to dodecyl sulfate anion($DS^-$) than oxidized ${Cu(bpy)_2}^{2+}$. As the ionic strength is increased by the addition of multiply charged cations($MgCl_2$), the double layer becomes more compact and micelle formation is more difficult.

Nine kinds of amphoteric surfactants were derived from 1-(2-hydroxyethyl)-2-undecyl-2-imidazoline. Their surface activities including surface tension and isoelectric points were measured in aqueous solution and critical micelle concentration(cmc) was also evaluated by the measurement of surface tension. From the measurement of surface tension, carboxylated amides revealed to be 26~40dyne/cm at $4.0{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}1.0{\times}10^{-3}mol/{\ell}$, sulfonated or sulfated imidazolines, 30~35 dyne/cm at $1.5{\times}10^{-3}{\sim}2.5{\times}10^{-3}mol/{\ell}$ and sulfonated amides, 25~33 dyne/cm at $5.8{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}8.0{\times}10^{-4}mol/{\ell}$ concentration range. It was found that isoelectric points of carboxylated amides were pH 7.2~7.9 and those of sulfonated or sulfated imidazolines and sulfonated amides were pH 4.5~5.5.

The interaction between the cationic dye, thionin(Th) and the anionic surfactant, sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) has been investigated by absorption spectra. As the temperature of surfactant solution was increased in premicellar range(S/D=10, 80, and 160) which was much lower than the critical micelle concentration(CMC), the increment or decrement of the molar extinction coeffecient ratio appeared. It was found that the most stable temperature range of the oligomer aggregate in Th-SDS system at S/D=160 was below $60^{\circ}C$. With increasing the concentration of inorganic salt and organic solvents in Th-SDS system, ${\alpha}$-band was increased, but ${\gamma}$=band or J-band was decreased. The orders of ${\alpha}$-band increasing power were $Cl^-$>$ClO{_4}{^-}$>$SO{_4}{^{2-}}$>$NO{_3}{^-}$ and 2-propanol>ethanol>methanol>ethylene glycol.

A new capsaicin analog modified with 4-hydroxyl and alkyl chain of capsaicin was a very potent antiinflammatory analgesic drug and may be clinically useful for those who have rheumatoid arthritis, diabetic neuropathy and cancer. The purpose of this study was to investigate histopathology after short and long term application of poloxamer-based gels, and percutaneous absorption of various topical formulations. Poloxamer-based gel was prepared by cold method using poloxamer 407. The poloxamer gels was applied to dorsal sites of hairless mouse skin during one week or one month for the evaluation of skin irritation. The applied site was then sectioned for histopathologic examination. The topical formulations were also prepared using CMC, HPMC, MC, carbopol and glycerylmono stearate. Skin variation of poloxamer gels was studied using excised hairless mouse, rat, hamster and human penis skin. Franz-type diffusion cells were used far skin penetration of drug against receptor phase filled with about 10$m\ell$ of 0.9% saline solution kept at 32$^{\circ}C$. The concentration of drug was determined by the reverse phased C18, Symmetry HPLC with fluorometeric detector. No skin erythema was observed after dorsal application of poloxamer-based gels for one week or one month. No histopathologic changes was also examined, suggesting no skin toxicity of poloxamer-based gels. The order of flux rate was HPMC > MC ( CMC > poloxamer >> glycerylmono stearate ( carbopol. There was a skin variation of poloxamer gels. The flux rate of poloxamer gels was highest in case of hairless mouse followed by rat, human and hamster skin.

This study was designed to investigate the effects of main constituents of Nigella sativa (NS) seed on the survival and CNS responses in experimental animals. The toxicological investigations were conducted for the determination of median lethal doses $(LD_{50})$ of NS seed constituents [i.e. aqueous extract (AE), fixed oil (FO), volatile oil (VO)] and main components of its VO [i.e. thymoquinone (TQ), ${\alpha}-pinene$ (AP) and p-cymene (PC)]. A part of this study includes evaluation NS constituents in the induction of minimal neurological deficit (MND) as a parameter for neurotoxicity using chimney test. In this study, the i.p. $LD_{50}$ values of AE, FO, VO, TQ (suspended In 0.5%CMC), TQ (dissolved in corn oil), AP and PC, were 3020, 3371, 1853, 616.6, 90.3, 1726 and 1523 mg/kg, respectively. All the NS constituents can be considered moderately toxic ($LD_{50}$ ranged from 616.6 to 3371 mg/kg), except the oily solution of TQ, which was very toxic ($LD_{50}$ was 90.3 mg/kg). It appeared that the toxicity of the whole VO is mainly due to its content of TQ and to some extent PC. All the NS constituents induced different degrees of MND at certain dose levels. The median neurotoxic (or sedating) doses $(TD_{50})$ of AE, FO, VO, TQ (suspended in CMC) and AP and PC, were 950, 1403, 306, 88.1, >173 and 368 mg/kg, respectively. TQ was the most potent component in inducing MND, whereas the FO and AE were the least. Neurotoxicity induced by the VO in the chimney test may refer basically to its contents of TQ and to some extent PC and AP.

The interaction of monochlorophenol isomers with the micellar system of TTAB (tetradecyltrimethylammonium bromide) was studied by the UV/Vis spectrophotometric method. The solubilization constants ($K_s$) of monochlorophenol isomers into this micellar system have been measured with the change of temperature. Various thermodynamic parameters (${\Delta}G^{\circ}_s$, ${\Delta}H^{\circ}_s$, and ${\Delta}S^{\circ}_s$) have been calculated and analyzed from the dependence of $K_s$ values on the temperature. The results show that the values of ${\Delta}G^{\circ}_s$ and ${\Delta}H^{\circ}_s$ are all negative but the values of ${\Delta}S^{\circ}_s$ are all positive for the solubilizations of all isomers within the measured temperature range. The effects of additives (n-butanol and NaCl) on the solubilization of monochlorophenol isomers by the same surfactant system have been also measured. There was a great change on the values of $K_s$ and CMC simultaneously with these additives. From these changes we can postulate the solubilization sites of each isomer in the micellar system of TTAB.
