Two species of fishes of Genus Liobagrus that had been collected from three separate river systems in Korea were compared by their morphology and gel electrophoretic patterns of water soluble proteins. In morphology L. andersoni from Han River was distinctly different from L. mediadiposalis collected from both Gum River and Nagdong River. But L. andersoni collected from Gum River not only showed partial similarity for both groups of fishes above in their classifying characteristics but also had a unique ratio of body width/standard length. Comparable similarity and difference among the three groups were also noted in their protein patterns of SDS polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis of various tissues. The difference was clearer and more distinct in the gel run with muscle proteins. A couple of more distinctly different low molecular polypeptides were detected by two dimensional gel electrophoresis. Since the protein patterns shown in this study are not only agreeable with the morphological results but also provide detailed comparisons, fishes of Liobagrus from various water sources can be classified reliably by gel electrophoresis. On the bases of tghe findings above, L. andersoni like fishes collected from Gum River should no longer be classified as L. andersoni. Before naming them as an independent species, the possibility of natural hybrid between the two defined species, or of a varient of L. andersoni by geograpic isolation should be tested.

Polyhedral oligomeric silsesquioxanes (POSS) were used as starting materials for the preparation of hybrid materials with polystyrene (PS). Optically transparent hybrids were obtained in a wide range of weight ratios when phenyl groups were introduced to each corner of the silsesquioxane. In contrast, as cyclohexyl groups were introduced, the obtained hybrid materials with PS resulted in turbid films. The aromatic (${\pi}-{\pi}$) interaction was confirmed to be a quite effective tool for the synthesis of organic-Inorganic polymer hybrids with POSS. The obtained homogeneous and transparent hybrid films could be dissolved in solvents and East again without any separation. The homogeneity of polymer hybrids with POSS was supported by the result of scanning electron microscopy (SEM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), which demonstrated a nanometer-level integration of PS and POSS.

In this study, physically and chemically stable core-crosslinked amphiphilic polymer (CCAP) nanoparticles were prepared using amphiphilic reactive precursors via soap-free emulsion process. Obtained CCAP nanoparticles were used as templates for synthesis of nanostructured $TiO_2$ nanoparticles. First, CCAP nanoparticles dispersed aqueous solutions were mixed with titanium isopropoxide to prepare stable organic-inorganic hybrid sols, and then obtained sols were spin coated onto glass substrate to prepare hybrid thin films onto glass, and then hybrid thin films were calcinated at various temperature to remove CCAP. Nanostructure of calcinated thin fims were examined by SEM. To study effect of CCAP nanoparticles on nanostructure of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles, the morphology of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles prepared using various CCAP templates was compared with that of $TiO_2$ nanoparticles prepared using conventional organic template, nonionic surfactant, Triton X-100.

The effect of synthesis conditions such as carbon nanotube (CNT), 2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate (3FMA), and composition of organic-inorganic material in ozone resistance and surface characteristics of ultraviolet cured organic-inorganic hybrid coating film has been investigated. Coating solution was prepared using tetraethoxysilane (TEOS), silane coupling agent methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS), 3FMA, various organic materials with acrylate group, and CNT, then bar-coated on substrates using applicator, and densified by UV-curing. It was found that ozone resistance and adhesion of the coating film were strongly dependent upon contents of TEOS, 3FMA, and CNT. Especially, ozone resistance, adhesion, and surface hardness of coating film with CNT were improved, relatively. Ozone resistance of coating film with a high TEOS content was increased, but adhesion was decreased. In addition, it was also found that ozone resistance of coating film was increased with contents of 3FMA. On the other hand, surface hardness was decreased with increase of 3FMA.

On the other hand, surface hardness was decreased with increase of 2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate. In addition, Surface hardness of coating film was increased with the addition of aliphatic urethane acrylate. It was also found that the transmittance of coating films was not influenced by content of TEOS and 2,2,2-trifluoroethylmethacrylate. In addition, the coating film exhibited high transmittance of above 90%.

Polyimide-silica hybrid membranes were prepared and the effect of silica content on the structural properties and the gas transport properties was studied. The hybrid membranes were obtained by the sol-gel process starting from 1,2,4,5-benzenetetracarboxylic dianhydride(PMDA), 4,4`-diamino- diphenyl oxide(ODA) and tetraethoxysilane(TEOS) in N,N` dimethylacetatmide (DMAc) solvent. The structural characterizations of the membrane were performed by FT-IR, EDX, TGA and SEM. The gas permeation experiments with ${N_2}, {O_2}, {H_2}, {CO_2}and ${CH_4}$ were carried out at the temperature of $25^{\circ}C$ and in the range of pressure from 3atm to 7atm. the hybrid membranes showed higher thermal stability than PI membranes. The silica patricles were uniformly embedded in the polyimide matrix and the size of silica particles increased with increasing silica content. The permeability coefficients of ${N_2}, {O_2}, {H_2}, {CO_2}and ${CH_4}$ increased with increasing silica content but the diffusion coefficients might appear to be a result of a solubility enhancement. In spite of the permeability enhancement, an increase in the selectivities of ${H_2}/{N_2}, ${H_2}/{O_2} and ${H_2}/{CO_2} was observed.

A silica-magnesium bisupport (SMB) was prepared by a sol-gel method for use as a support for a metal-locene/Ziegler-Natta hybrid catalyst. The prepared $rac-Et(Ind)_2ZrCl_2/TiCl_4$/MAO(methylaluminoxane)/SMB catalyst was applied to the copolymerization of ethylene with l-hexene using a variable triethylaluminum (TEA)/transition-metal (Ti) ratio and fixed MAO/transition-metal (Zr) ratio. The effect of the Al(TEA)/Ti ratio on the physical properties and chemical composition distributions (CCDs) of the ethylene-hexene copolymers produced by the hybrid catalyst was investigated. In the ethylene-hexene copolymers, two melting temperatures attributed to the metal-locene and Ziegler-Natta catalysts were clearly observed. The number of CCD peaks was increased from six to seven and the temperature region in which the peaks for the short chain branches of the ethylene-hexene copolymer were distributed became lower as the Al(TEA)/Ti ratio was increased from 300 to 400. Furthermore, the temperature regions corresponding to the lamellas in the copolymer became lower and those corresponding to the small lamellas in the copolymer became higher as the Al(TEA)/Ti ratio was increased from 300 to 400. In the copolymer produced with Al(TEA)/Ti = 500, however, only four CCD peaks were observed and the short chain branches were poorly distributed.

Organic-inorganic hybrid coating film using 1,2-bis(2,4-dimethyl-5-phenyl-3-thienyl)-3,3,4,4,5,5-hexafluoro-1-cyclopentene (BTHFC) as a photochromic material was prepared under various reaction conditions such as the amounts of tetramethoxysilane (TMOS), various silane coupling agents, and solvent. It was found that color-fading speed and absorbance of the coating film was strongly dependent upon the polarity of silane coupling agent and solvent. In addition, the mole ratio of TMOS and methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane (MPTMS) was an important factor to determine color-fading speed and absorbance of the coating film. With increasing TMOS contents in coating film, the pencil hardness was increased. On the other hands, the transmittance of coating film was relatively decreased with the increase of TMOS.

Materials currently used as an injectable bulking agent in the dermatologic and urologic fields revealed several drawbacks such as particles migration, inflammatory reaction, allergic reaction, rapid volume shrinkage, and necessity of a donor site. In this study, we have developed injectable biomaterial comprising poly (DL- lactide-co-glycolide)(PLGA) and hyaluronic acid gel to overcome these problems. PLGA is a biocompatible synthetic material and hyaluronic acid is a common substance found in living organisms. We examined the feasibility of injection through needle and tested biocompatibility in animal model. After transplantation, injected sites and distant organs were examined histologically to verify a new tissue formation, inflammation, and particles migrations. Injected volume was maintained approximately 80 percent for 2 months. Results demonstrated that the developed material was injectable through various gauges of needles and induced a new bulking tissue formation without serious inflammatory reaction.

현재, 메탈의 내부식성 코팅막 제조에 사용되고 있는 크로메이트 기반 코팅제는 유독성 물질에 대한 환경 규제에 따라 조만간 사용이 금지 될 예정이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 유독성 금속 내부식성 코팅제를 대체할 새로운 환경 친화적인 코팅 재료로서 A1OOH 나노졸이 분산된 ZrOCl$_2$ㆍ8$H_2O$-GPS(3-Glycidoxypropyltrimethoxysilane)하이브리드 졸을 제조하고 이의 내 부식성 특성에 대하여 조사하였다. AlOOH 졸이 첨가된 유/무기 하이브리드 졸은 염화 알루미늄을 염기로 침전 시킨 수산화 알루미늄 침전물에ZrOCl$_2$ㆍ8$H_2O$를 10 ~ 20 wt% 첨가하고 열처리한 후 여기에 GPS를 AlOOH에 대하여 4 ~ 6몰 배 첨가하여 제조하였다. 제조된 하이브리드 형 졸은 가시관 투광성이 우수하며 시간에 따른 범도 변화가 거의 없었다. 이 코팅 졸을 아연 도금 강판에 딥 코팅법으로 코팅한 후, 상온~20$0^{\circ}C$에서 열처리하여 염수 시험법으로 하이브리드 졸의 조성 및 열처리 조건에 따른 코팅막의 내부식성 특성을 조사하였다. 또한, 코팅막의 두께를 전자 현미경으로 관찰하였고, 코팅막 경도는 연필 경도계로 조사하였다.
