The emissions of ozone precursors, NOx and VOCs from a biogenic source and port-related sources (ship, shipping container truck, and cargo handling equipment) were estimated in Busan during 2013. Total biogenic isoprene emission in Busan during 2013 was estimated to be $4,434ton\;yr^{-1}$ with the highest emission (e.g., $28ton\;day^{-1}$) in summer using a BEIS method. Seasonal ozone production rates by isoprene ranged from 0.15 (winter) to 2.08 (summer) $ppb\;hr^{-1}$, contributing the predominant portion to ambient ozone levels. Total emissions of NOx and VOCs from ship traversing Busan ports were estimated to be 29,537 and $814ton\;yr^{-1}$, respectively, showing the significant contribution to total NOx emission in Busan. The emissions of ozone precursors were significantly different depending on ship tonnage and port location. Compared to the ship emission, the emissions of NOx and VOCs from the shipping container trucks in Busan were insignificant (2.9% for NOx and 3.9% for VOCs). Total NOx and VOCs emissions from the cargo handling equipment were estimated to be 1,440 and $133ton\;yr^{-1}$, respectively with the predominance of yard tractors.

일반적으로 butyl 고무(IIR : isobutylene isoprene rubber)는 우수한 내기체투과성 및 저반발 탄성체로서 우수한 충격흡수성을 갖는다. 본 실험에서는 butyl고무에 EPDM(ethylene propylene diene monomer)을 기계적 혼련법으로 blend 혼련물을 제조하여 이들의 가교 거동, 물리적 성질 및 내오존성 등을 측정하였다. EPDM 고무량이 증가할수록 최적 가황시간이 단축되는 경향을 보였다. 기체투과속도 테스트에 의한 내기체투과성 측정 결과 butyl고무량이 50 wt% 이상일 경우에는 기체투과도가 현저히 감소하였다. 한편 butyl rubber/EPDM 블렌드의 경우에 EPDM의 함량이 25 wt.% 이상 함유될 경우 내오존성이 향상되어 50 pphm, $50^{\circ}C$, 120시간 조건에서도 아무런 표면변화가 없었다.

Biogenic Volatile Organic Compound (BVOC) emissions are estimated with BEIS3.12 (Biogenic Emissions Inventory System version 3.12) over the Seoul Metropolitan Area (SMA) and then used in CMAQ (Community Multiscale Air Quality) simulations for two high ozone episodes in 2004 and 2007 June. The first- and second-order sensitivity coefficients of ozone to BVOC emissions are estimated with High-order Decoupled Direct Method (HDDM) simulation in order to estimate the influence of BVOC emissions on ozone using the Zero-Out Contribution (ZOC) approach. ZOC analysis shows that relative contribution of BVOC emissions on daily maximum 1-hr ozone is as high as 30% for high ozone days above 100 ppb. However simulated isoprene concentrations were over-estimated by a factor of 2 when compared to the observations at the PAMS (Photochemical Air Monitoring Station) for the 2007 episode. When assumed that actual BVOC emissions are 50% less than estimated, the ZOC of BVOC emissions on daily maximum ozone drops by more than 10 ppb for the episode. The result indicates that uncertainty in BVOC emissions may have significant impact on high ozone prediction in the SMA.

The Edwards-Vilgis slip-link theory and the Kaliske-Heinrich extended tube theory were tested experimentally using published experimental data on networks of natural and isoprene rubber and on polysiloxane networks. All parameters were adjusted to achieve an optimum fit. The data description obtained with the EV theory is not satisfactory and the parameter values tend to lie outside their reasonably expected range. But for the region of low strains, the Kaliske-Heinrich theory offers a satisfactorily accurate data description which is able to serve for practical purposes. Its crosslink term, however, is based on approximations which lead to a questionable prediction and values determined for the exponent in the entanglement term lie outside the range expected by the KH model. Thus, the title question cannot be given a positive answer. Conclusions published earlier that the trapped entanglements contribute both to the crosslink and constraint (entanglement) term are supported by the present data analysis. Experimental equibiaxial data on hydrocarbon networks do not show any maximum on their stretch ratio dependence, contrary to the predictions of molecular theories. The stretch ratio dependences of relative reduced stresses do not sensitively reflect differences in the chemical nature of the chain backbone (hydrocarbon vs. siloxane) and in the crosslinking method (end-linking vs. random crosslinking).

Considering the immense applicability of isoprene rubbers, such as natural rubber (NR) and synthetic polyisoprene rubber (IR), attempts are being made to introduce more functionality within the rubber structure, e.g. epoxidation, to widen their technological viability. Epoxidation introduces polar epoxy bonds into the rubber molecular chain, resulting in enhanced intermolecular interactions among the rubber chains, increasing the oil resistance and air impermeability. Although there have been many reports on the epoxidation of NR in its latex form, there has been no such report using its solid form (or gum), which limits the epoxidation in terms of portability. Furthermore, the gum form has longer lifetime, while the latex form has limited lifetime for its efficient use. In this study, the epoxidation of natural rubber and polyisoprene rubber (using meta-chloroperoxybenzoic acid (mCPBA) as the epoxidizing agent) by dissolving their gum in hexane (i.e., the solution method) have been studied and compared. The effects of the amount of mCPBA, reaction time, and reaction temperature were investigated. The present process is easy and facilitates the epoxidation of rubbers in their solid form; therefore, it can be used for industrial upscaling of epoxidized rubber production.

The incidences of cancer are continuously increasing worldwide, affecting life of millions of people. Several factors associated with the internal and external environment are responsible for this deadly disease. The key internal determinants like abnormal hormonal regulation, genetic mutations and external determinants such as lifestyle and occupational factors enhances onset of cancer. From the ancient time, plants were remained as the most trusted source of medicine for the treatment of diverse disease conditions. Extensive studies have been performed for the discovery of effective anticancer agent from the plant and still it is going on. Pentacyclic triterpenoids are biologically active phytochemicals having a different range of activities such as anti-inflammatory, hepatoprotective, anti-hypertensive, antiulcerogenic and anti-tumor. These compounds generally contain ursane, oleanane, lupane and friedelane as a chief skeleton of pentacyclic triterpenoids which are generally present in higher plants. Isoprene unit, phytochemical, with good antitumor/anticancer activity is required for the biosynthesis of pentacyclic triterpenoids. Mechanisms such as cytotoxicity, DNA polymerase inhibition, regulation of apoptosis, change in signal transductions, interfere with angiogenesis and dedifferentiation, antiproliferative activity and metastasis inhibition are might be responsible for their anticancer effect. Present review spotlights diverse targets, mechanisms and pathways of pentacyclic triterpenoids responsible for anticancer effect.

본 연구에서는 방수시트재를 위한 아스팔트의 styrene-butadiene-styrene (SBS)와 styrene-isoprene-styrene (SIS)에 의한 개질에 있어서 자가치유성을 가지는 개질아스팔트 방수시트재의 연화점(softening point), 침입도(penetration), 저온굴곡저항성능(low temperature flexibility), 점도(viscosity) 및 부착성능(adhesion) 등의 물성을 관찰하고, 반응표면분석법(response surface methodology, RSM)을 활용하여 아스팔트 질량 대비 SBS와 SIS의 적정조성을 도출하고 자가치유성을 가지는 개질아스팔트 방수시트재의 물성을 최적화하였다. 고온에서 측정이 수행되는 연화점과 점도는 SBS 또는 SIS의 함량이 증가함에 따라서 유의하게 값이 증가하였다. 그러나 함량 대비 연화점과 점도 증가분은 SBS 경우가 SIS보다 커짐이 관찰되었다. 이러한 원인은 SBS와 SIS의 열적거동의 차이 때문인데, SBS는 고온에서 점도 상승을 동반하는 겔화(gelation)가 되어 가교도가 커지나 SIS는 점도감소를 초래하는 폴리이소프렌 블록의 사슬분리(chain scission) 때문에 사슬꼬임(chain entanglement)이 상대적으로 적어지기 때문이다. 반면에 SIS-SBS 개질아스팔트는 상온에서 측정되는 침입도, 부착성능 및 저온굴곡성능에 대하여, 아스팔트 63 g을 기본으로 SIS 4~5 g과 SBS 8.5 g의 조성에서 최소 탄성거동을 나타내어 최대 침입도 및 최대 부착성능과 최저 저온굴곡성능 값을 보였다.

브롬화 이소부틸 이소프렌 (BIIR) 고무의 점착성에 미치는 나노점토(Cloisite 20A)의 영향을 조사하였다. 고무내 나노점토의 분산성은 SEM, TEM, XRD으로 분석하였다. 나노점토 충전 및 미충전 고무의 열적안정성은 TGA로 분석하였으며, 충전고무에서 열적안정성을 보였다. 또한 나노점토를 첨가하면 보강효과에 의해 고무의 강도가 증가하였다. 나노점토 첨가로 계면간 분자확산 정도는 감소할 것으로 판단되었지만, 본 연구에서 관찰된 분자확산에 의해 형성된 계면의 두께는 분자사슬간 엄킴현상을 유발하는데 충분하여 계면점착력이 증가하는 것으로 나타났다. 계면점착력 증가현상은 일정한 이상 (8 phr)의 나노점토가 첨가되었을 때 나타났다. 나노점토 첨가에 따른 표면특성의 변화를 조사하기 위해 접촉각 측정을 하였는데 큰 변화는 관찰되지 않았다.
