We need to develop technology of identifying high temperature high pressure(HTHP) synthetic diamond and HTHP treated natural diamonds from untreated natural diamonds to cope with sophisticated diamond enhancing technology. We had successfully identified synthetic diamonds using a vibrating sample magnetometer due to their ferromagnetic property. In addition, we identified the HTHP enhanced TypeIa, TypeIIa diamonds by employing non-destructive Fourier Transform Infrared(FTIR) spectroscopy.

Hydroxyapatite films were prepared on Si(100) substrates by using a sol-gel method with calcium nitrate and phosphoric acid as starting materials. Precursor sols were spin-coated onto the substrates and prefired at $500^{\circ}C$ for 10 min in air. Formation of the hydroxypatite structure was confirmed in the sample annealed at $500^{\circ}C$ by the X-ray diffraction $\theta$-2$\theta$ scans and a tricalcium phosphate phase was observed in the samples annealed at both temperature regions of $500^{\circ}C$~$700^{\circ}C$ and $900^{\circ}C$. From the results of Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, the change of a carbon content and improvement of crystallinity have been discussed as a function of increase of annealing temperature.

Hydrophobic thin films are variously applicable for encapsulation of organic devices and water repulsive glass, etc. In this work, the stability of hydrophobic characteristics of plasma polymerized tetrakis (trimethylsilyloxy) silane (ppTTMSS) thin films were investigated. The films were deposited with plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) on the glass. The deposition plasma power and deposition pressure was 70 W and 600 mTorr, respectively. Thereafter, deposited films were treated by 248nm KrF excimer laser. Stability of hydrophobic properties of plasma polymerized tetrakis(trimethylsilyloxy)silane film surface was tested by excimer laser irradiation, which is thought to simulate severe outdoor conditions. Excimer laser irradiation cycles changed from 10 to 200 cycles. The chemical structure and hydrophobicity of ppTTMSS films were analyzed by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and water contact angle (WCA) measurement, respectively. Absorption spectra peaks and WCA of excimer laser treated ppTTMSS films did not change notably. These results show that our ppTTMSS films possess stable hydrophobic properties.

To determine whether pattern recognition based on metabolite fingerprinting for whole cell extracts of higher plants is applied to discriminate plants genetically, leaf samples of eight cultivars of Catharanthus roseus were subjected to Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). FT-IR fingerprint region data were analyzed by principal component analysis (PCA). Major peaks as biomarkers were identified as the most significant contributors to distinguish samples by using genetic programming. A hierarchical dendrogram based on the results from PCA separated the eight cultivars into two major groups in the same manner as the dendrograms based on genetic fingerprinting methods such as RAPD and AFLP. A slight difference between the dendrograms was found only in branching pattern within each subgroup. Therefore, we conclude that the hierarchical dendrogram based on PCA of the FT-IR data represents the most probable chemotaxonomical relationship between cultivars, which is in general agreement with the genetic relationship determined by conventional DNA fingerprinting methods.

Polycarboxylate type superplasticizers (PCA) with different graft chain (Polyethylene oxide) length were synthesized by Methoxypoly (ethyleneglycol)monomethacrylate (MPEGMAA) and methacrylic acid (MAA). The effects of PCA on the hydration of Ordinary Portland Cement (OPC) were investigated by Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR), X-Ray Diffraction (XRD) and Differential Scanning Calorimetry (DSC) techniques. The effect of graft chain length of PCA on the hydration of OPC was different at early age, but, at long age, was similar. The ratio of relative peak intensity, (I［001］/I［101］), of Ca(OH)$_2$ compared with OPC also was reduced by PCA addition.

The electron beam (EB) induced curing of a typical resin designed for the hard coating layer of in-mold decoration foils was investigated. The samples were irradiated with different doses of EB and the curing reaction was monitored by Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. The change in coating properties such as surface hardness and anti-abrasion property was studied as a function of increasing dose. The effect of the addition of nano-particles on the improvement of coating properties was also examined. It was expected that the experimental results could be used for the commercial exploitation of the EB curing system comparable to the ultraviolet (UV) curing system.

The electrical and mechanical properties of the plasma polymerized low dielectric constant SiCOH films were investigated. The SiCOH films were produced with tetrakis(trimethylsilyloxy)silane and cyclohexane as precursors by using a plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition. When the deposition plasma powers were changed from 10 to 50 W, the relative dielectric constant of the SiCOH film increased from 2.09 to 2.76 and their hardness and elastic modulus were changed from 1.6 to 5.6 GPa and from 16 to 44 GPa, respectively. After thermal annealing at $500^{\circ}C$, the annealed SiCOH films showed relative dielectric constants of 1.80-2.97, a hardness of 0.45-0.6 GPa and an elastic modulus of 6-7 GPa. And then, the chemical structures of as-deposited and annealed SiCOH films were analyzed by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy.

PURPOSE. The aim of the present study was to determine the degree of conversion of light- and dual-cured resin cements used in the cementation of all-ceramic restorations under different thicknesses of translucent (T) and high-translucent (HT) polymer-infiltrated ceramic-network (PICN) material. MATERIALS AND METHODS. T and HT PICN blocks were prepared at 0.5, 1.0, 1.5, and 2.0 mm thicknesses (n=80). Resin cement samples were prepared with a diameter of 6 mm and a thickness of 100 ㎛. Light-cured resin cement was polymerized for 30 seconds, and dual-cure resin cement was polymerized for 20 seconds (n=180). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was used for degree of conversion measurements. The obtained data were analyzed with ANOVA and Tukey HSD, and independent t-test. RESULTS. As a result of FTIR analysis, the degree of conversion of the light-cured resin cement prepared under 1.5- and 2.0-mm-thick T and HT ceramics was found to be lower than that of the control group. Regarding the degree of conversion of the dual-cured resin cement group, there was no significant difference from the control group. CONCLUSION. Within the limitation of present study, it can be concluded that using of dual cure resin cement can be suggested for cementation of PICN material, especially for thicknesses of 1.5 mm and above.

Purpose: This study examined the performance of two spectroscopy methods and multivariate classification methods to discriminate viable pepper seeds from their non-viable counterparts. Methods: A classification model for viable seeds was developed using partial least square discrimination analysis (PLS-DA) with Fourier transform near-infrared (FT-NIR) and Raman spectroscopic data in the range of $9080-4150cm^{-1}$ (1400-2400 nm) and $1800-970cm^{-1}$, respectively. The datasets were divided into 70% to calibration and 30% to validation. To reduce noise from the spectra and compare the classification results, preprocessing methods, such as mean, maximum, and range normalization, multivariate scattering correction, standard normal variate, and $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ derivatives with the Savitzky-Golay algorithm were used. Results: The classification accuracies for calibration using FT-NIR and Raman spectroscopy were both 99% with first derivative, whereas the validation accuracies were 90.5% with both multivariate scattering correction and standard normal variate, and 96.4% with the raw data (non-preprocessed data). Conclusions: These results indicate that FT-NIR and Raman spectroscopy are valuable tools for a feasible classification and evaluation of viable pepper seeds by providing useful information based on PLS-DA and the threshold value.

Polyaniline/$SiO_2$ catalyzed one-pot mannich reaction of acetophenone, aromatic aldehydes and aromatic amines are carried out in ethanol to afford various ${\beta}$-amino ketones. The various wt% of polyaniline were supported on pure silica synthesized by using chemical oxidative method. The catalyst prepared has been characterized by means of thermal analysis (TG-DTA), X-ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR). Solvent stability of catalyst was tested using UV-Visible spectroscopy. This protocol has several advantages such as high yield, simple work up procedure, non-toxic, clean, easy recovery and reusability of the catalyst.
