Objectives: The aim of this paper is to investigate the activities of Malaysian local herbs (Clinacanthus nutans Lindau, Strobilanthes crispus, Murdannia bracteata, Elephantopus scaber Linn., Pereskia bleo, Pereskia grandifolia Haw., Vernonia amygdalina, and Swietenia macrophylla King) for anti-hypertensive and vasorelaxant activity. An infrared (IR) macro-fingerprinting technique consisting of conventional fourier transform IR (FTIR), second-derivative IR (SD-IR), and two-dimensional correlation IR (2D-correlation IR) analyses were used to determine the main constituents and the fingerprints of the Malaysian local herbs. Methods: The herbs were collected, ground into powder form, and then macerated by using three different solvents: distilled water, 50% ethanol, and 95% ethanol, respectively. The potentials of the extracts produced from these herbs for use as vasorelaxants were determined. Additionally, the fingerprints of these herbs were analyzed by using FTIR spectra, SD-IR spectra, and 2D-correlation IR spectra in order to identify their main constituents and to provide useful information for future pharmacodynamics studies. Results: Swietenia macrophylla King has the highest potential in terms of vasorelaxant activity, followed by Vernonia amygdalina, Pereskia bleo, Strobilanthes crispus, Elephantopus scaber Linn., Pereskia grandifolia Haw., Clinacanthus nutans Lindau, and Murdannia bracteata. The tri-step IR macro-fingerprint of the herbs revealed that most of them contained proteins. Pereskia bleo and Pereskia grandifolia Haw. were found to contain calcium oxalate while Swietenia macrophylla King was found to contain large amounts of flavonoids. Conclusion: The flavonoid content of the herbs affects their vasorelaxant activity, and the tri-step IR macro-fingerprint method can be used as an analytical tool to determine the activity of a herbal medicine in terms of its vasorelaxant effect.

Brightness temperature spectra acquired from FTIR(Fourier Transform Infrared)-SCADS (Standoff Chemical Agent Detection System) could be available for detection and identification of the chemical agents and pollutants from different background. IR spectrum range of 770 to 1350 $cm^{-1}$ is corresponding to "atmospheric window". A 2-dimensional(2D) brightness temperature spectrum was drawn from combining each data point through automatic continuous scanning of FTIR along with altitude and azimuth. At higher altitude, temperature of background was decreased but scattering effect of atmospheric gases was increased. Increase in temperature difference between background and blackbody in SCADS at higher temperature causes to increases in peak intensity of $SF_6$. This approach shows us a possibility that 2D visual information is acquired from scanning data with a single FTIR-SCADS.

탄소계열의 SiOC 박막은 화학적 증착방법으로 bistrimethylsilylmethane와 산소의 혼합개스를 사용하여 증착하였다. SiOC 박막의 화학적인 특성은 FTIR 분석을 이용하였으며, I-V 측정법을 이용하여 비교하였다. $950\sim1200\;cm^{-1}$ 영역에서 생기는 결합들은 Si-C 결합, Si-O-C 결합과 Si-O 결합으로 이루어졌으며, SiOC 박막의 누설전류는 탄소함량이 증가함에 따라서 증가하였다. 그리고 누설전류는 Si-O-C 결합의 함량과 유사한 경향성을 나타냈다. FTIR 분석에서 디컨벌류션한 데이터는 SiOC 박막이 3가지 특성이 있는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 접촉각은 이러한 3가지 유형에 대한 차이점을 보여주었다.

층간 절연막으로 사용 가능한 SiOC 박막에 대하여 유전상수가 낮아지는 원인을 이온에 의한 분극과 전자에 의한 분극에 대하여 측정하였다. MIS 구조를 이용하여 전형적인 C-V측적법에 의하여 유전상수를 구하였으며, 굴절률을 측정하여 전자에 의한 분극의 효과에 의한 유전상수를 측정하고 서로 비교하였다. SiOC 박막의 화학적인 특성은 FTIR 분석을 이용하였으며, FTIR 분석에서 디컨벌류션한 데이터는 탄소의 함량에 대한 변화를 구하였다. 탄소의 함량변화는 굴절률의 변화와 비슷한 경향성을 나타내었으나, 유전상수와는 반비례하였다. 전자에 의한 분극의 효과는 유전상수가 떨어지는 것에 큰 영향을 주지는 않았으며, 이온에 의한 분극의 효과가 SiOC 박막의 유전상수를 낮게 하는 효과가 더욱 크게 나타났다.

Principal component analysis based two-dimensional (PCA-2D) correlation analysis is applied to FTIR spectra of polystyrene/methyl ethyl ketone/toluene solution mixture during the solvent evaporation. Substantial amount of artificial noise were added to the experimental data to demonstrate the practical noise-suppressing benefit of PCA-2D technique. 2D correlation analysis of the reconstructed data matrix from PCA loading vectors and scores successfully extracted only the most important features of synchronicity and asynchronicity without interference from noise or insignificant minor components. 2D correlation spectra constructed with only one principal component yield strictly synchronous response with no discernible a asynchronous features, while those involving at least two or more principal components generated meaningful asynchronous 2D correlation spectra. Deliberate manipulation of the rank of the reconstructed data matrix, by choosing the appropriate number and type of PCs, yields potentially more refined 2D correlation spectra.

The partial degumming of silk has recently attracted researchers' attention because of its ability to produce silk textiles with new tactile properties, intermediate between the softness of fully degummed silk and the hardness of raw silk. However, it is difficult to obtain partially degummed silk in a homogenously degummed state due to the heterogeneous character of sericin removal. It is also difficult to examine the homogeneity of degumming. In the present study, Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy with attenuated total reflection (ATR) geometry was used to evaluate the effect of processing conditions on the degumming of silk yarns. The crystallinity index, calculated from FTIR spectra, showed an increase with the degumming ratio. Therefore, the homogeneity of degumming could be evaluated by the variation of crystallinity index for 30 different spots in silk yarns. The homogeneity of degumming was influenced by the total degumming time, the content of surfactant, and the liquor rate. No effect was observed upon changing the number of degumming cycles at the same total degumming time.

물 표면 위의 스테아르산 단분자막을 은을 입힌 유리판에 이전시켜 1층, 3층, 9층 및 21층의 Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) 분자막을 제조하였다. 표면압은 30 mN/m 이었으며 FTIR-RA 분광법을 이용하여 31~72$^{\circ}C$에서 적외선 흡수 스펙트럼을 얻었다. $31^{\circ}C$에서 탄화수소 사슬이 보다 더 수직적인 배향을 나타내고 있었으며 1층의 경우에는 C = O의 피크가 관찰되지 않았다. 이는 은표면에서 이미지 이중극 효과나 금속염을 형성하기 때문으로 본다. 1층과 3층의 경우에는 스테아르산의 트란스 이성질체가 많고 21층의 경우에는 시스형이 많은 것으로 나타났다. 온도 변화에 대한 FTIR-RAS 측정에서 분자층의 수를 증가시키면 사슬의 녹는점이 높아졌으나 1층의 경우는 예외를 나타내는데 이는 1층의 경우 은기판과의 강한 상호작용에 의한 때문이다.

자유라디칼 반응기구에 의한 그라프팅 반응은 셀룰로오스의 낮은 반응 참여율, 반응의 저조한 반복성, 반응조절의 난이점, 특히 homopolymer의 높은 발생율로 인한 그라프팅 반응의 낮은 치환도 등의 문제를 지니고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위하여 음이온중합 방법으로 polyacrylonitrile을 조제한 후 셀룰로오스 아세테이트와 균일계 반응조건에서 이분차 친핵치환(SN2) 반응기구에 의하여 그라프트 공증합 반응을 실시하였으며, 시간의 변화에 다른 겔의 형성과 그라프트 공중합 반응 전 후의 셀룰로오스 아세테이트의 FTIR spectra의 중요한 흡수대를 비교하여 반응을 확인하였다.

Calorimetric study in conjunction with Fourier-transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopic study was carried out on the blends of poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) with isotactic, atactic and syndiotactic poly(methyl methacrylate) (i-, a-, and s-PMMA). From the differential scanning calorimetric (DSC) measurements, the three types of blends show a depression of the melting temperatures. This indicates that PEO is compatible with i-, a-, and s-PMMA. But the largest melting point depressions of PEO are always found in the blends with s-PMMA. For PEO/a-PMMA and PEO/s-PMMA, the degree of crystallinity as a function of composition deviates substantially from that of the ideal blend in which no interaction between the components exists. The FTIR spectra of all three types of blends are recorded. In order to observe the microstructural changes of PEO in blends, we analyzed the spectra using digital weighted subtraction and addition techniques. It was concluded that the microstructures of PEO are strongly perturbed by the PMMA's. Among these blends PEO microstructure in PEO/s-PMMA blends is most greatly influenced. It indicates that the blending is most preferred with s-PMMA than a- and i-PMMA. It can be explained on the basis of the molecular structure of PMMA's.

The dynamics of the tertiary conformation of myoglobin (Mb) after photolysis of carbon monoxide was investigated at 283 K solution by probing amide I and II bands using femtosecond IR absorption spectroscopy. Time-resolved spectra in the amide region evolve with 6-12 ps time scale without noticeable subpicosecond dynamics. The spectra measured at 100 ps delay after photolysis is similar to the difference FTIR spectrum at equilibrium. Time-resolved spectra of photoexcited Mb evolve modestly and their amplitudes are less than 8% of those of photolyzed MbCO, indicating that thermal contribution to the spectral evolution in the amide region is negligible. These observations suggest that the conformational relaxation ensuing photolysis of MbCO be complex and the final deoxy protein conformation have been substantially formed by 100 ps, probably with 6- 12 ps time constant.
