A highly facile and eco-friendly green synthesis of Annona squamosa (custard apple) leaf extract reduced graphene oxide (CRG) nanosheets was achieved by the reduction of graphene oxide (GO). The as-prepared CRG was characterized with X-ray diffraction (XRD), transmission electron microscope (TEM), Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis), X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Raman spectroscopic techniques. Removal of oxygen containing moieties from the GO was confirmed by UV-Vis, FT-IR and XPS spectroscopic data. The XRD and Raman data further confirmed the formation of the CRG. TEM images showed the sheet structure of the synthesized CRG. These results show that the phytochemicals present in custard apple leaf extract act as excellent reducing agents. The CRG showed good dispersion in water.

In this study, FT-IR analysis was performed by exposing cement paste to high temperature in order to characterize the change of hydration behavior of concrete structure damaged by fire accident. As the holding time increased, the Al-O vibration region increased due to the increase of Si-O symmetric Ca₂(SiO₄) and Brownilerite, and the OH stretching region tended to increase due to thermal decomposition of Ca(OH)₂.

In this study, we investigated the basic properties of N-doped ethylcyclohexene plasma polymer thin films that deposited by radio frequency (13.56 MHz) plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) method with controlled ammonia flow rate. Ethylcyclohexene was used as organic precursor with hydrogen gas as the precursor bubbler gas. Additionally, ammonia ($NH_3$) gas was used as nitrogen dopant. The as-grown polymerized thin films were analyzed using ellipsometry, Fourier-transform infrared [FT-IR] spectroscopy, UV-Visible spectroscopy, and water contact angle measurement. We found that with increasing plasma power, film thickness is gradually increased while optical transmittance is drastically decreased. However, under the same plasma condition, water contact angle is decreased with increasing $NH_3$ flow rate. The FT-IR spectra showed that the N-doped ethylcyclohexene plasma polymer films were completely fragmented and polymerized from ethylcyclohexane.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has been applied to the characterization of titania surface. The bands due to surface OH groups were observed to be more intense in the reduced titania than in the oxidized titania. The IR spectra of CO adsorbed on titania exhibited two C-O stretching bands, namely at 2187 and 2209 cm$^{-1}$. The intensities were stronger in the oxidized titania.The 2187 cm$^{-1}$-peak was attributed to CO coordinated to $Ti^{4+}_{5c}$ (subscriptindicates the coordination number of the coordinatively unsaturated cation by oxygen ions), while the 2209 cm-1-peak due to the $Ti^{4+}_{4c}{\cdots}$CO complex.

A molecular dynamics simulation study on the structure and dynamics of Na+ ions in non-rigid dehydrated Na12-A zeolite framework at 298.15 K was conducted using the same method reported in previous studies on rigid and non-rigid Na12-A zeolite frameworks. The agreement between the experimental and calculated results for the zeolite-A framework atoms of structural parameters for non-rigid dehydrated Na12-A zeolite is generally quite good, and for the adsorbed Na+ions the agreement is acceptable. The calculated bond lengths are generally in good agreement with the experimental results and other theoretical data. The calculated IR spectrum by Fourier transform of the total dipole moment autocorrelation function shows two major peaks around 2700 cm-1 and 7000 cm-1. The former appeared in the calculated IR spectra of non-rigid zeolite-A framework only system and the latter remains unexplained except, perhaps, indicating a new formation of a vibrational mode of the framework due to the adsorption of Na+ ions. The peaks above 6200-6800 cm-1 in non-rigid dehydrated Nal2-A zeolite are much larger than those in non-rigid dehydrated H12-A zeolite.

When 4-hexylresorcinol (4HR) incorporated silk mat is used for clinical application, sterilization process is essential. In this study, 4HR incorporated silk mat was sterilized with ethylene oxide (EO) gas or autoclave, and then antibacterial property was evaluated. For the examination of micro-structure after the sterilization, scanning electron microscopic (SEM) exam and Fourier Transform Infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy were also done. There was no gross difference after sterilization in SEM exam and FT-IR spectra. Antibacterial property of 4HR was also maintained after the sterilization. In conclusion, EO gas or autoclave did not damage the antibacterial property of 4HR in the silk mat.

In order to develop catechin patches for skin regeneration at wound sites, patches with varying concentrations of catechin and chitosan were manufactured. An optimal composition ratio was determined by adjusting the drug release rate and amount, to maximize efficiency. The catechin used in this study was extracted from green tea leaves using a solvent/ultrasonication method, and its characteristics were confirmed through Fourier transform-infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) and high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) analyses. Patches were prepared with different concentrations of catechin and chitosan, and various properties were analyzed using techniques such as FT-IR, water contact angle analysis, and UV-Vis spectroscopy. It was observed that as the chitosan concentration increased, the release of catechin slowed down or almost ceased. A patch manufactured with 1.5 mg/cm² of catechin at a 1 % chitosan concentration exhibited a high initial release rate over 24 h and demonstrated cellular biocompatibility. Consequently, these patches, with tailored release characteristics based on the concentrations of chitosan and catechin, hold promise for use as drug delivery systems in wound healing applications.

본 연구는 FT-IR 스펙트럼 데이터를 기반한 다변량통계분석을 이용한 대사체 수준에서 아티초크(Cynara cardunculus var. scolymus L.) 품종 구분하였다. FT-IR 스펙트럼 데이터로부터 PCA(principal component analysis), PLS-DA(partial least square discriminant analysis) 그리고 HCA(hierarchical clustering analysis) 분석을 실시하였다. 아티초크 품종들은 1700-1500, 1500-1300, $1100-950cm^{-1}$ 부위에서 대사체의 양적, 질적 패턴 변화가 FT-IR 스펙트럼상에서 나타났다. FT-IR 스펙트럼의 $1700-1500cm^{-1}$ 부위는 주로 Amide I 과 II을 포함하는 아미노산 및 단백질계열의 화합물들의 질적, 양적 정보를 나타내고, $1700-1300cm^{-1}$ 부위는 phosphodiester group을 포함한 핵산 및 인지질의 정보가 반영이 되고, $1100-950cm^{-1}$ 부위는 단당류나 복합 다당류를 포함하는 carbohydrates 계열의 화합물들이 질적, 양적 정보가 반영되는 부위이다. PCA 상에 나타난 10품종의 아티초크들은 품종간에 중첩이 많이 이뤄지는 모습을 나타냈다. 아티초크 10개의 품종 중에서 'Cardoon'과 'Green Globe'가 계통분류학적으로 유연관계가 낮고, 서로간에 대사체 수준의 차이가 뚜렷하게 나타나는 것으로 보아 대사체 수준에서 마커 탐색에 가장 중요한 품종으로 작용할 것으로 판단된다. PLS-DA 분석의 경우 PCA 분석 보다 아티초크의 종간 식별이 뚜렷하게 나타났다. 따라서 본 연구에서 확립된 대사체 수준에서 아티초크의 품종 식별 기술은 품종, 계통의 신속한 선발 수단으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대되며 육종을 통한 품종개발 가속화에 기여 할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

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.

본 연구에서는 상업용 곶감의 꽃받침과 종자를 이용하여 대사체 수준에서의 원산지와 품종 식별 체계를 확립하였다. 실험에 이용된 곶감 시료는 국내산 곶감 함안수시(Hamansusi), 예천고종시(Yecheongojongsi), 산청단성시(Sancheongdanseongsi), 그리고 논산월하시(Nonsanwalhasi) 4개 품종과 국내에서 판매되고 있는 중국산 곶감 2개 종류의 꽃받침과 종자를 사용하였으며, 꽃받침과 종자 시료의 전세포 추출물로부터 FT-IR 스펙트럼 데이터를 기반으로 다변량 통계분석(PCA, PLS-DA)을 실시하였다. 이 결과 국내산 곶감 4품종과 중국산 곶감 2종류가 두 그룹으로 확연히 나뉘어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 상업용 곶감의 꽃받침을 PLS regression을 실시한 결과 국내산과 중국산 곶감을 100% 예측할 수 있었다. 또한 곶감 종자를 이용하여 품종 식별한 결과 각 4개의 그룹으로 나뉘어지는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, PLS regression을 실시한 결과 약 86%의 정확도로 품종 식별이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. FT-IR 스펙트럼 분석의 간편성과 신속성을 고려할 때, 본 연구 결과는 상업용 곶감에 대한 원산지나 품종 식별의 신속한 수단으로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다. 더 나아가 본 기술을 이용하여 다른 농산물의 원산지 또는 품종 식별 수단으로 활용이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
