The surface chemical structure of three kinds of polyethylene (PE): high density (HD) PE, low density (LD) PE and linear (L)-LDPE exposed to Ar and $O_2$ plasmas has been investigated using XPS. Oxygen was incorporated in a more increased amount for HDPE than for L-LDPE and LDPE. Ar plasma tended to incorporate more oxygen than $O_2$ plasma. The XPS valence band spectra for Ar plasma exhibited a clear peak assigned to $O_2$s character. By chemical derivatization method it was found that the amount of -COOH group at the surface was much greater than that of -OH group. The hydrophilic nature of plasma-treated PE increased in the order: LDPE

The need to determine the permeability of organic vapors to polymeric films such as aromas, flavors, etc. has significantly increased in the food industry because of preservation and safety issues along with migration problems. However, due to the complex nature of the permeation process, there have been few investigations compared to nonorganic compounds. In this paper, we review the history of permeability studies and typical methods of permeability measurement such as the isostatic method and quasi-isostatic method for organic vapors. New instrumental developments and significant findings are also introduced and discussed.

Barley is considered as one of the most important cereals for Korean in terms of production and utilization. In this review we concentrate mainly on the chemical structure of husk, aleurone layer, endosperm and embryo (especially endosperm). The relationships among the structure, characteristics and role of chemical components in barley kernel are also discussed. The nature of the fine-structure and minor components is not fully identified, however, a lot of investigation and progress in this area probably contributes the development of new technique for better utilization of barley in the future.

Spectral behaviors of cationic dyes, methylene blue(MB) and acridine orange(AO), with varying concentrations of sodium dodecylsulfate(SDS) were studied. At low concentration of SDS(<1mM), these dyes formed insoluble dye-surfactant aggregates. When [SDS] is 4-5 mM, the aggregates were dissolved into mixed micelles of constant composition. At higher concentration of [SDS], the composition of mixed micelles were changed with [SDS], resulting only monomeric form of dyes in micelles. AO-SDS system showed greater aggregating and less dissolving properties, and weaker effect of salt than MB-SDS system did. These were attributed to the greater hydrophobic nature of the former dye. The monomer/dimer ratios of dyes in mixed micelles at given [SDS] were greatest at $20^{\circ}C$, reflecting the dependency of CMC of the surfactant on temperature.

${\alpha},{\omega}$-Diols react with secondary amines in the presence of a catalytic amount of ruthenium catalyst at $180^{\circ}C$ to give diamino compounds in good to excellent yields. The yield of diamino compound was affected by the molar ratio of ${\alpha},{\omega}$-diol to secondary amine. The reaction is affected by the nature of the phosphorus ligands employed and the effectiveness of the added ligand is completely different depending on the chain length of the ${\alpha},{\omega}$-diol. The reaction between ethylene glycol and primary amine in the presence of a catalytic amount of ruthenium catalyst gave 1,4-disubstituted piperazine.

Rate constants have been measured spectrophotometrically for the reactions of alkali metal ethoxides with 4-nitrophenyl benzoate, S-4-nitrophenyl thiobenzoate and 4-nitrophenyl thionbenzoate in ethanol at 25$^{\circ}$C. Substitution of S for O in the leaving group has not affected reactivity significantly, while the effect of the similar replacement in the acyl group has led to rate decrease by a factor of 10, although pronounced rate enhancements have been expected for both systems. The replacement of O by a polarizable S has also influenced the reactivity of the esters toward alkali metal ethoxides, i.e. the reactivity decreases as the size of the metal ion decreases. The alkali metal ions have showed inhibition effect instead of catalytic effect which would have been expected for the present system. The effect of replaced sulfur atom on the reactivity for the present system is attributed to the nature of hard and soft acids and bases.

A new polyamide was prepared from 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)di-aniline and 4-[NN-bis(2-carboxyethyl)] amino-4'-nitrostilbene. This polymer was cast into thin films by spin coating cyclohexanone solution. After being poled, the electro-optic coefficients of electrode poled polymer films were measured by the reflection measurement technique using an incident laser beam of 1.3 Jim. The film poled at the field strength of 1.2 V/μm exhibited the electro-optic coefficient (r33) of 5.9 pm/V. The relaxation behavior of the poled polymer film was compared with other reported polymers bearing the same NLO chromophores. Due to stiff and highly polar nature of the backbone and also due to formation of interchain hydrogen bonds, this polymer reveals a slower relaxation characteristics. The polymer is amorphous and soluble in various organic solvents.

The nature of hydrogen bonding between thioacetamide and azines has been thoroughly investigated using near IR absorption spectroscopy. The νN-H + amide II combination band in thioacetamide (TA) has been analyzed to determine the thermodynamic constants for the formation of hydrogen bonded 1:1 TA:azine complexes in CCl4 and CHCl3 solutions. The relative stabilities of TA-azine complexes (pyridine->1,2-diazine->1,3-diazine->1,4-diazine-TA) are in good agreement with the relative proton affinities of azines in the gas phase. The results serve as a basis for analyzing the factors which influence the hydrogen bonding formation of TA in nonaqueous solutions.

We study the rheological properties of concentrated polymer solution and the melt under simple shear and elon-gational flow using Brownian dynamicssimulation. In order to describe the anisotropic molecular motion, we modifiedthe Giesekus' mobility tensor by incorporating the finitely extensible non-linear elastic (FENE) spring force into dumbbell model. To elucidate the nature of this model, our simulation results are compared with the data of FENE-P ("P"standsfor the Perterin) dumbbell model and experiments. While in steady state both original FENE and FENE-P models exhibit a similar viscosity response,the growthof viscosity becomes dissimilar as the anisotropy decreases and the flowrate increases. The steady state viscosity obtained from the simulation well describes the experiments including the shear-thinning behavior in shear flow and viscosity-thinning behavior in elongational flow. But the growth of viscosity oforiginal FENE dumbbell model cannot describe the experimental results in both flow fields.

An approximate molecular theory of classical fluids based on the nonrandom lattice statistical-mechanical theory is presented. To obtain configurational Helmholtz free energy and equation of state (EOS), the lattice-hole theory of the Guggenheim combinatorics is approximated by introducing the nonrandom two-fluid theory. The approximate nature in the derivation makes the model possible to unify the classical lattice-hole theory and to describe correctly the configurational properties of real fluids including macromolecules. The theory requires only two molecular parameters for a pure fluid. Results obtained to date have demonstrated that the model correlates quantitatively the first- and second-order thermodynamic properties of real fluids. The basic simplicity of the model can readily be generalized to multicomponent systems. The model is especially relevant to (multi) phase equilibria of systems containing molecularly complex species.
