  • 본 연구에서는 PV에 아나베나세포를 흡착법에 의하여 고정화하였다. 진탕배양하면서 고정화한 겨웅에 비하여 반응기속에 배양액을 trickling 시키면서 배양하고 고정한 경우 높은 세포밀도를 보였다. PV에 고정화한 세포들의 생리적 활성을 조사한 결과 광합성능이 암처보관시에 free cell에 비하여 안정됨을 보였고, msx처리시의 암모니아의 방출도 증가하였다. 뿐만 아니라 고정화한 세포에서 광합성활성의 온도에 대한 내성이 증가하였으며 nitrogenase 효소 활성도 free cell에 비하여 크게 증가하였다. nitrogenase효소에 의한 연속적인 광수소발생을 조사한 결과 혐기적 조건하에서 연속적으로 수소가 생성됨을 볼 수 있었는데 그 발생양은 4mg의 엽록소에 해당하는 아나베나를 충진한 trickling-medium 반응기에서 6일동안 1.6ml의수소가 생성되었다.

  • In the present study, silica-aerogel-polyurethane foams were synthesized to improve the mechanical characteristics and insulation performance of the polyurethane foam applied to a liquefied natural gas carrier at a cryogenic temperature of $-163^{\circ}C$. A silica-aerogel-polyurethane foam bulk was prepared using a homogenizer by varying the weight ratio of the silica aerogel (0, 1, 3, and 5 wt%), while maintaining the contents of the polyol, isocyanate, and blowing agent constant. Compression tests were performed at room and cryogenic temperatures to compare the mechanical properties of the silica-aerogel polyurethane foams. The internal temperature of the universal testing machine was maintained through the cryogenic chamber. The thermal conductivity of the silica-aerogel-polyurethane foam was measured using a heat flow meter to confirm the insulation performance. In addition, the effect of the silica aerogels on the cells of the polyurethane foam was investigated using FE-SEM and FTIR. From the experimental results, the 1 wt% silica aerogel polyurethane foam showed outstanding mechanical and thermal performances.

  • Aluminium Foam Sandwich (AFS) panels are becoming always more attractive in transportation applications thanks to the excellent combination of mechanical properties, high strength and stiffness, with functional ones, thermo-acoustic isolation and vibration damping. These properties strongly depend on the density of the foam, the morphology of the pores, the type (open or closed cells) and the size of the gas bubbles enclosed in the solid material. In this paper, the vibrational performances of two classes of sandwich panels with an Alulight(R) foam core are studied. Experimental tests, in terms of frequency response function and modal analysis, are performed in order to investigate the effect of different percentage of porosity in the foam, as well as the effect of the random distribution of the gas bubbles. Experimental results are used as a reference for developing numerical models using finite element approach. Firstly, a sensitivity analysis is performed in order to obtain a limit-but-bounded dynamic response, modelling the foam core as a homogeneous one. The experimental-numerical correlation is evaluated in terms of natural frequencies and mode shapes. Afterwards, an update of the previous numerical model is presented, in which the core is not longer modelled as homogeneous. Mass and stiffness are randomly distributed in the core volume, exploring the space of the eigenvectors.

  • In the progression of atherosclerosis, macrophages are the key immune cells for foam cell formation. During hyperlipidemic condition, phagocytic cells such as monocytes and macrophages uptake oxidized low-density lipoproteins (oxLDLs) accumulated in subintimal space, and lipid droplets are accumulated in their cytosols. In this review, we discussed the characteristics and phenotypic changes of macrophages in atherosclerosis and the effect of cytosolic lipid accumulation on macrophage phenotype. Due to macrophage plasticity, the inflammatory phenotypes triggered by oxLDL can be re-programmed by cytosolic lipid accumulation, showing downregulation of NF-κB activation followed by activation of anti-inflammatory genes, leading to tissue repair and homeostasis. We also discuss about various in vivo and in vitro models for atherosclerosis research and next generation sequencing technologies for foam cell gene expression profiling. Analysis of the phenotypic changes of macrophages during the progression of atherosclerosis with adequate approach may lead to exact understandings of the cellular mechanisms and hint therapeutic targets for the treatment of atherosclerosis.

  • L. erythrorhizon 세포를 polyurethane foam과 함께 증식시킬 경우 shikonin 유도체가 polyurethane에 효과적으로 흡착됨과 동시에 polyurethane을 사용하지 않은 경우와 비교하여 shikonin 생산량이 현저히 증가하였다. 이 같은 증가는 세포를 polyurethane pore에 고정하여 증식시킴으로써 원활한 세포간 접촉을 유지하고 세포 내에 shikonin 농도를 저하시켜shikonin 생성에 좋은 조건을 제공함에 기인한 것으로 생각되었다. 공정의 생산성을 높이기 위하여 여러가지 배양시스템이 검토되었는데, indole-3-acetic acid(1.75mg/ι)와 kinetin(0.1mg/ι)을 함유하는 Schenk-Hildebrandt 배지 (SHIK 배지) 시스템이 가장 효과적이었다. p-Chlorophenoxyacetic acid (2.0 mg/ι)와 kinetin (0.1 mg/ι)를 함유하는 Schenk-Hildebrandt 배지 (SHND 배지) 시스템에 비교하여 SHIK 배지 시스템에서 Shikonin 생성량은 약 4.5배 증가하였다. Polyurethane을 세포를 고정화하는 지지체로 사용할 경우에는 현재 행하여지고 있는 2단계 배양보다 1단계 배양이 더욱 효과적이며 경제적으로도 매우 유리할 것으로 판단되었다.

  • Speaking in general terms the form injection process can be described as a new process-variant of already known structural foam molding technology which roots go back to the early sixties. The most limiting factors of already know foaming processes are large cell size and the lack of uniformity of these cells as well and the inability to foam all kinds of plastic materials. In this paper, Process Study on weight change in injection rate during foaming. Experimental conditions were set as the injection speed 50,150,300 and 450 mm/s. The experiments PA, PA+GF, PP, was confirmed that the weight increase to PP+TA.

  • Aluminum foams sandwich panel (AFSP) has been used in engineering field, where cyclic loading is used in most of the applications. In this paper, the fatigue life of AFSP prepared by the bonding method was investigated through a three-point bending test. The mathematical statistics method was used to analyze the influence of different plate thicknesses and core densities on the bending fatigue life. The macroscopic fatigue failure modes and damage mechanisms were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM). The results indicate that panel thickness and core layer density have a significant influence on the bending fatigue life of AFSP and their dispersion. The damage mechanism of fatigue failure to cells in aluminum foam is that the initial fatigue crack begins the cell wall, the thinnest position of the cell wall or the intersection of the cell wall and the cell ridge, where stress concentrations are more likely to occur. The fatigue failure of aluminum foam core usually starts from the semi-closed unit of the lower layer, and the fatigue crack propagates layer by layer along the direction of the maximum shear stress. The results can provide a reference for the practical engineering design and application of AFSP.

  • 침식방지형 섬유대공은 호안 또는 하천의 하천침식과 포락 방지를 위한 토목공사용 섬유자재로 내부에 유동성 콘크리트 또는 모르타르 등을 고압의 콘크리트 펌프로 주입하여 콘크리트 블록을 형성되도록 하는 제방 보호용 토목섬유공법이다. 그러나 기존에 개발된 침식방지형 섬유대공은 다량의 콘크리트 그라우팅제 사용에 따른 경제성 및 친환경성 측면에서 문제점을 가지고 있으며, 섬유대공의 안정성이 섬유대/비탈면 원지반의 마찰특성에 의존하도록 되어 있어 급경사 비탈면 적용에 한계가 있다. 본 연구에서는 다량의 콘크리트를 사용하는 기존 섬유대호안공의 경제성 및 친환경성을 개선하고자 역학적인 방틀형태를 시공이 간편한 섬유대를 이용하여 구축하고, 구조적 안정성 및 비탈면 전면부의 식생 및 사석 호안시스템 지지 등을 앵커로 처리하는 경제적이면서도, 안정적인 섬유대공을 개발하여 실내모형시험에 의한 침식저항성평가 및 현장 적용성 평가 등을 수행하였다.

  • Flexible polyurethane/clay porous nanocomposite foams were synthesized using natural and organically modified montmorillonite clays such as bentonite, closite 10A and closite 30B. The content of nanoclays was varied from 1 to 5 wt% of polyol. Dispersion of clay in Polyurethane(PU) matrix was investigated by X-ray diffraction(Cu-$K{\alpha}$ rays of wavelength $1.54{\AA}$) using an X-ray diffractometer. Also, we determined that the thermal resistance of PU foam increased with added clay, compared to that of pure PU foam. The cell size and the fraction of open cells of the precursor foam were controlled by the addition of clay to the polyurethane foam. Modified clays were found to be more efficient cell openers than the unmodified clay. In addition, the tensile strength and elongation of the polyurethane/clay porous nanocomposites were examined. Increasing clay content increased the mechanical properties of the composites, such as tensile strength, and elongation at break. However, increasing the content over 5 wt% deteriorated the properties of the composites. We found that the nanofillers(bentonite, closite 10A and closite 30B) improved the thermal stability of the nanocomposite foam. The nanocomposite foam containing 3 wt% of closite 30B exhibited the best tensile strength and thermal stability.

  • 본 연구에서는 폴리올의 구조(OH-value, functionality)와 각각의 발포제(CFC-11, HCFC-l4lb, HFC-365mfc)가 우레탄의 반응성, 폼의 물성 그리고 cell 구조에 미치는 영향을 평가하여 HFC-365mfc의 대체 가능성을 고찰하였다. 그 결과 폴리올의 OH-value와 작용기가 증가함에 따라 반응온도, 반응속도, 밀도 그리고 압축강도는 증가하였다. Cell의 크기는 폴리올의 OH-value와 작용기가 커질수록 미세하게 형성되었다. CFC-11 HCFC-l4lb 그리고 HFC-36smfc에 따른 반응온도, 반응속도, 밀도 그리고 압축강도의 변화는 거의 없었으며, cell 분포는 HFC-365mfc를 사용한 경우가 HCFC-l4lb를 사용한 경우에 비해 균일한 cell 분포를 나타내었다.
