Hydrosilylation reactions of 2.4.6.8-tetrahydro-2.4.6.8-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane with allyl butyrate catalyzed by Karstedt's, $H_2PtCl_6$ and Pt/C catalyst were studied and 2.4.6.8-tetra (propyl butyrate)-2.4.6.8-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane was obtained. The reaction order, activation energies and rate constants were determined. Ringopening polymerization of 2.4.6.8-tetra (propyl butyrate)-2.4.6.8-tetramethylcyclotetrasiloxane in the presence of $CaF_2$, LiF, KF and anhydrous potassium hydroxide in $60-70^{\circ}C$ temperature range was carried out and methylsiloxane oligomers with regular arrangement of propyl butyrate pendant groups were obtained. The synthesized products were studied by FTIR and NMR spectroscopy. The polysiloxanes were characterized by wide-angle X-ray, gel-permeation chromatography and DSC analyses. Via sol-gel processes of oligomers doped with lithium trifluoromethylsulfonate or lithium bis (trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide, solid polymer electrolyte membranes were obtained. The dependences of ionic conductivity of obtained polyelectrolytes on temperature and salt concentration were investigated, and it was shown that electric conductivity of the polymer electrolyte membranes at room temperature changed in the range $3.5{\times}10^{-4}{\sim}6.4{\times}10^{-7}S/cm$.

In this work, polymer - inorganic composites have prepared using polymer such as polyethylene glycol (PEG)/poly (methyl methacrylate, PMMA) and inorganic nanofillers materials such as TiO2 nanotubes (TiNTs)/carbon nanotubes (CNTs). The extensive structural, morphological and ionic properties revealed that the high surface area and tubular feature of nanofillers improved the interaction and cross-linking to polymer matrix which is significantly enhanced the ionic conductivity and electrical properties of composite electrolytes. Comparably high conversion efficiency ~4.5% has been observed by using the newly prepared PEG-TiNTs composite solid electrolyte as compared with PMMA-CNTs electrolyte based DSSCs (~3%). The detailed comparative properties would be discussed in term of their structural, morphology, ionic and photovoltaic properties.

Backgroud: Ginsenoside compound K (GK) is a major metabolite of protopanaxadiol-type ginsenosides and has remarkable anticancer activities in vitro and in vivo. This work used an ionic cross-linking method to entrap GK within O-carboxymethyl chitosan (OCMC) nanoparticles (Nps) to form GK-loaded OCMC Nps (GK-OCMC Nps), which enhance the aqueous solubility and stability of GK. Methods: The GK-OCMC Nps were characterized using several physicochemical techniques, including x-ray diffraction, transmission electron microscopy, zeta potential analysis, and particle size analysis via dynamic light scattering. GK was released from GK-OCMC Nps and was conducted using the dialysis bag diffusion method. The effects of GK and GK-OCMC Nps on PC3 cell viability were measured by using the 3-(4,5-dimethyl-2-thiazolyl)-2,5-diphenyl-2-H-tetrazolium bromide assay. Fluorescent technology based on Cy5.5-labeled probes was used to explore the cellular uptake of GK-OCMC Nps. Results: The GK-OCMC NPs had a suitable particle size and zeta potential; they were spherical with good dispersion. In vitro drug release from GK-OCMC NPs was pH dependent. Moreover, the in vitro cytotoxicity study and cellular uptake assays indicated that the GK-OCMC Nps significantly enhanced the cytotoxicity and cellular uptake of GK toward the PC3 cells. GK-OCMC Nps also significantly promoted the activities of both caspase-3 and caspase-9. Conclusion: GK-OCMC Nps are potential nanocarriers for delivering hydrophobic drugs, thereby enhancing water solubility and permeability and improving the antiproliferative effects of GK.

Magnetically reponsive gelatin microspheres for the targeting of drugs have been prepared using a water-in-oil emulsion technique with chemical cross-linking of the protein. The manufacturing variables affecting microsphere size, size distribution and surface characteristics have been examined as well as the magnetic responsiveness in vitro. Sesame oil was utilized for non-aqueous phase and magentic gelatin microspheres of different size from 1. 89 to 14.88 $\mu\textrm{m}$ in mean diameter could be obtained with variation of HLB values of non-ionic surfactants. The content of magnetite which uniformly distributed throughout the microspheres was 26.7% (w/w). It was possible to control the localization of magnetic gelatin microspheres at specific sites within capilary models by using external magnetic field of under 5K gauss.

A polymer electrolyte was prepared by using polyvinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene (PVdF-HFP) or poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) as polymer matrices, succinonitrile as an additive, and lithium perchlorate as a lithium salt. Compared to the polymer electrolyte employing PVdF-HFP, the PEGDMA-based polymer electrolyte exhibits substantially superior thermal stability when exposed to high temperatures. Nonetheless, the ionic conductivity of the PEGDMA-based polymer electrolyte was preserved in a wide temperature range between $-20^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$.

본 논문은 항공기 노스콘(nose cone) 제작에 사용되는 Kevlar/Epoxy 프리프레그의 조성과 경화거동을 연구한 것이다. 이 소재의 경화거동을 dielectrometer와 시차주사열분석기를 사용하여 연구하였다. 이 프리프레그는 $120^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 가장 낮은 이온점도를 보였으며, 이 이후 경화반응의 진행과 함께 점도가 $200^{\circ}C$ 까지는 상승하는 경향을 보여 주었다. 이것은 이 프리프레그의 경화반응이 $120^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 개시됨을 의미하며, 이 온도 이후부터 가속화된 분자간 가교화 반응을 통해서 분자량이 현저히 커짐을 의미한다. 본 프리프레그의 dynamic scan에 따른 loss factor 및 tan $\delta$값을 측정/연구하였는데, 매트릭스의 유동성과 매우 밀접한 관계에 있는 loss factor 거동은 이온점도 거동과 매우 유사하였다. 본 프리프레그의 열반응 특성을 시차주사열분석기를 사용해서 연구하였다.

인쇄회로기판제조에 사용되는 glass/epoxy 프리프레그의 경화거동을 dielectrometer와 시차주사열분석기를 사용하여 연구하였다. 브롬화한 에폭시수지를 많이 포함하고 있는 본 프리프레그는 약 115$^{\circ}C$에서 가장 낮은 이온점도를 보였으며, 이 이후 경화반응의 진행과 함께 점도가 15$0^{\circ}C$까지는 상승하는 경향을 보여 주었다. 이것은 이 프리프레그의 경화반응이 115$^{\circ}C$ 부근에서 개시됨을 의미하며, 이 온도 이후부터 가속화된 분자간 가교화반응을 통해서 분자량이 현저히 커짐을 의미한다. 본 프리프레그의 dynamic scan에 따른 loss factor 및 tan $\delta$ 값을 측정하였다. 또한 실제 인쇄회로기판 제조에 사용하는 경화주기에 준하여 동일한 실험을 수행하여 그 거동을 비교하였다. 성형한 복합재료는 약30$0^{\circ}C$까지는 열적으로 안정한 것으로 나타났으며 이 온도 이후에서 급격한 열분해 반응이 진행되었다.

본 연구에서는 복막 투석 시스템에 있어서, 요소를 가수분해 후 발생하는 암모니아를 제거하기 위하여, 방사선 그라프트 중합법에 의해 다공성 중공사막에 술폰산기($SO_3H$)를 도입시킨 양이온 교환막(이때 얻어진 막을 SS막이라 함)을 합성하였다. 여기에 금속이온(Cu, Ni, Zn)을 이용하여 그라프트 체인을 가교시킨 이온가교형 양이온 교환막(이때 얻어진 막을 SS-M막이라 함)을 합성하여, SS막과 SS-M막의 투과 유속과 암모니아의 흡착에 대하여 고찰하였다. 술폰산기 밀도에 따라 순수투과 유속은 술폰산기 밀도가 높아짐에 따라 투과 유속이 급격히 감소하였으나, 금속 이온이 도입됨에 따라, 투과 유속이 빨라진다는 것을 알 수 있었다. SS막의 경우 암모니아 흡착은 이온교환기 용량에 따라 1 : 1로 흡착되었고, SS-M막 보다 높은 흡착량을 나타났다. 또한, SS막, SS-M막 모두 pH 9에서 가장 높은 흡착량을 나타냈다.

In this study, a series of highly swelling hydrogels based on sodium alginate (NaAlg) and polymethacryl­amide (PMAM) was prepared through free radical polymerization. The graft copolymerization reaction was performed in a homogeneous medium and in the presence of ammonium persulfate (APS) as an initiator and N,N'-methylenebis­acrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker. The crosslinked graft copolymer, alginate-graft-polymethacrylamide (Alg-g­PMAM), was then partially hydrolyzed by NaOH solution to yield a hydrogel, hydrolyzed alginate-graft-poly­methacrylamide (H-Alg-g-PMAM). During alkaline hydrolysis, the carboxamide groups of Alg-g-PMAM were converted into hydrophilic carboxylate anions. Either the Alg-g-PMAM or the H-Alg-g-PMAM was characterized by FTIR spectroscopy. The effects of the grafting variables (i.e., concentration of MBA, MAM, and APS) and the alkaline hydrolysis conditions (i.e., NaOH concentration, hydrolysis time, and temperature) were optimized systematically to achieve a hydrogel having the maximum swelling capacity. Measurements of the absorbency in various aqueous salt solutions indicated that the swelling capacity decreased upon increasing the ionic strength of the swelling medium. This behavior could be attributed to a charge screening effect for monovalent cations, as well as ionic cross-linking for multivalent cations. Because of the high swelling capacity in salt solutions, however, the hydrogels might be considered as anti-salt superabsorbents. The swelling behavior of the superabsorbing hydrogels was also measured in solutions having values of pH ranging from 1 to 13. Furthermore, the pH reversibility and on/off switching behavior, measured at pH 2.0 and 8.0, suggested that the synthesized hydrogels were excellent candidates for the controlled delivery of bioactive agents. Finally, we performed preliminary investigations of the swelling kinetics of the synthesized hydrogels at various particle sizes.
