The absorption rate of carbon dioxide with 2-amino-2-methyl-1-propanol(AMP) was measured in such non-aqueous solvents as methanol, ethanol, n-propanol, n-butanol, ethylene glycol, propylene glycol, and propylene carbonate, and in water at 298 K and 101.3 kPa using a semi-batch stirred tank with a plane gas-liquid interface. The overall reaction rate constant, obtained under the condition of fast reaction regime, from the measured rate of absorption was used to get the elementary reaction rate constants in complicated reactions represented by reaction mechanism of carbamate formation and the order of overall reaction of $CO_2$ with amine. The correlation between the elementary reaction rate constant and the solubility parameter of the solvent was also presented.

Ag/polystyrene(PS) nanocomposites were prepared by in situ reduction of silver 2-ethylhexylcarbamate (Ag-CB) complex and follwing radical polymerization only by heating at 110 $^{\circ}C$. In contrast to this conventional heating method, the microwave irradiation afforded well-dispersed silver nanoparticles(NPs) in styrene monomer without polymerization. The synthesis of Ag NPs proceeded uniformly throughout the reaction vessel only under microwave irradiation, completing the reaction simultaneously in the whole reaction solution. Successive polymerization of the monomer containing the resultant NPs has successfully produced a hybrid of the silver NPs dispersed in PS matrix. Ag/PS (0.1/100) nanocomposites were prepared successfully by melt-mixing process using Ag/PS(4.0/100) as a master-batch. UV-VIS spectroscopy, TEM, and X-ray diffraction techniques were used to investigate the process of formation of Ag/PS nanocomposites.

Copolymers containing oxime-urethane groups, which led to the formation of pendant amino groups photochemically, were applied to a fluorescent image-recording material through the reaction with fluorescamine, a prefluorescent dye for amino groups. This imaging method permits the fluorescent image to be erased or restored by treatment with base or acid. Copolymers containing phthalimide carbamate groups were applied to a bicolor fluorescent imaging material through the consecutive reaction with fluorescamine and rhodamine. A various colored fluorescent micropattern (green, red or red-yellow) was observed through the changes of excitation wavelength by using a conforcal microscope.

The key step in a strategy for the synthesis of (+)-lactacystin involving photocyclization reaction of a cyclopenta-fused pyridinium salt has been probed by using a model substrate. Observations made in this effort led to the discovery of a highly unusual cascade process that leads to stereoselective formation of an interesting tricyclic carbamate. The results of this study are presented and discussed in the context of a (+)-lactacystin synthetic approach.

Uniform Ag nanoparticles (< 10 nm) were effectively prepared in 1-amino-4-methylpiperazine as a solvent with multiple functions including reduction and stabilization. An Ag-complex such as $Ag_2(ehac)_2(eha)_2$ (ehac = 2-ethylhexylammonium carbamate; eha = 2-ethylhexylamine) was used as an Ag-precursor, whereas the usage of a salt such as $AgNO_3$ showed the formation of Ag nanoparticles in larger and irregular size (30 - 500 nm). The Ag nanoparticles (< 10 nm) prepared by using the Ag-complex could also be effectively stabilized by 1-amino-4-methylpiperazine. Transmission electron micrographs confirmed that the Ag particles were spherical and in the nanometer size.

The investigation of the catalytic activity of supported rhodium(I) complex [Rh(P-S)$(CO)_2$] (P-S; polymer anchored salicylic acid) toward the reductive carbonylation of nitrobenzene in DMF medium has been reported. Use of basic cocatalysts in the reaction medium enhanced the percentage of more useful phenyl carbamates. Spectroscopic studies indicate that the reaction proceeds through a dimer species [Rh(HS)(CO)(C(O)$OCH_3$)(${\mu}-OCH_3)]_2$ and phenyl isocyanate is formed as an intermediate. A plausible reaction mechanism based on the identification of reactive intermediates from the soluble rhodium variety has been proposed for the carbonylation process.

A solid-phase synthetic approach is reported for the synthesis of an ascorbic acid (ASA)-dipeptide conjugate that exhibited enhanced antioxidant activity. The N-terminal amino group of dipeptide (Ala-Ala) on a resin support was first activated by 1,1'-carbonyldiimidazole (CDI), and then reacted with an ASA derivative. The addition of a base, triethylamine (TEA), promoted nucleophilic acylation of ASA derivative and yielded a desired product (ASA-Ala-Ala) with enhanced purity, when cleaved from the resin. Compared to the approach where a C3 hydroxyl group of ASA was first activated with CDI and then reacted with the amino group of dipeptide on the resin, this new approach allowed a significant reduction of a total reaction time from 120 h to 8 h at $25^{\circ}C$. As-prepared ASA-dipeptide conjugate (ASA-Ala-Ala) showed improved antioxidant activity compared to ASA.

The solubilities of $CO_2$ in 20wt% and 30wt% aqueous AMP solution were obtained from experiments at 40, 50, 60, 70, $80^{\circ}C$. Using the modified Kent-Eisenberg model, equilibrium constants and correlations were determined from the regression of experimental results of 30wt% aqueous AMP solution. There were good agreements between the predicted $CO_2$ solubilities in 20wt% aqueous AMP solution and experimented values. The prediction was conducted at the condition in the literature and the predicted values calculated from the model and correlations which were obtained from this work agree well with the prediction from Deshmukh-Mather model. Thus, the modified Kent-Eisenberg model and correlated equations suggested by this work, resonably well represent vapor-liquid equilibrium of $CO_2$ with aqueous AMP solution. The calculation of chemical species concentration in the liquid phase was performed uslng equilibrium model and from this calculation, we confirm that good absorption capacity is due to the formation of unstable carbamate. Heat of solution(${\Delta}Hs$) was calculated from the solubility data using the Gibbs-Helmholtz equation.

Liquid urea based SCR has been used in the market to reduce NOx in the exhaust emission of the diesel engine vehicle. This system has several problems at low temperature, which are freezing below $-12^{\circ}C$, solid deposit formation in the exhaust, and difficulties in dosing system at exhaust temperature below $200^{\circ}C$. Also, it is required complicated exhaust packaging equipment and mixer due to supply uniform ammonia concentration. In order to solve these issues, solid urea, ammonium carbonate, and ammonium carbamate are selected as ammonia sources for the application of solid SCR. In this paper, basic research on reaction rate of three ammonia-transporting materials was performed. TGA (Thermogravimetric Analysis) and DTA (Differential Thermal Analysis) tests for these materials are carried out for various heating conditions. From the results, chemical kinetic parameters such as activation energy and frequency factor are obtained from the Arrhenius plot. Additionally, from test results of DSC (Differential Scanning Calorimeter) for these materials, chemical kinetic parameters using the Kissinger method are calculated. Activation energies of solid SCR from this experiment are compared with proper data of literature study, then obtained data of this experiment are used for the design of reactor and dosing system for candidate vehicle.

Urea solution as a reductant of SCR has been widely used to reduce NOx emissions from diesel engine. But it has lots of problems which are freezing at low temperature due to liquid state, deposition of solid formation in the exhaust, dosing device, and complex package such as mixers for uniform concentration of ammonia. In order to overcome these obstacle, ammonium carbonate which is one of solid ammonium materials to produce ammonia gas directly by sublimation process is considered. Simple reactor with visible widow was designed to predict equilibrium temperature and pressure of ammonium carbonate. To simulate real operation conditions under automobile environment, several cycles of heating and cooling condition were settled, two different re-solidification materials were extracted from the reactor and visible window. Analytical study is performed to characterize these unknown materials by XRD(X-Ray Diffraction), FT-IR(Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy), and EA(Elemental Analyzer). From analytical results, re-solidification materials from heating and cooling cycles are very similar to original material of ammonium carbonate.
