Fish protein was acylated with acetic anhydride(AA), succinic anhydride(SA) and maleic anhydride(MA) in order to improve the functional properties of the protein. The surface hydrophobicity and functional properties of protein were measured to study the relationship between them. It was found that the extented acylation of nucleophilic groups such as amino and sulfhydryl groups of the amino acid residues of fish protein was higher than other groups when acylated with AA, and the degree of acylation was 89.5 % for amino groups and 72.2 % for sulfhydryl groups. The surface hydrophobicity of fish protein was decreased by succinylation and maleylation, whereas acetylation caused tittle change. The acylated fish protein concentrate(FPC) showed higher surface hydrophobicity than the acylated fish myofibrilla protein(FMP). Acylation with AA, SA and MA of fish protein resulted in a significant increase in protein solubility, emulsifier properties, foaming properties, water adsorption capacity and oil adsorption capacity. These properties of acylated FMP were more improved than those of acylated FPC. Decrease in protein hydrophobicity was highly correlated with increase in protein solubility, and emulsifier properties and foaming properties were largely dependent on the solubility as well as surface hydrophobicity. The water adsorption capacity of the protein was significantly affected by solubility. Surface hydrophobicity had greater influence on oil adsorption capacity, whereas it had tittle effect on water adsorption capacity.

To develop new anticancer agents, 3-allylthio-6-aminopyridazine derivatives were synthesized from maleic anhydrides or phthalic anhydrides by formation of a pyridazine nucleus, dichlorination, allylthiolation and amination. The pyridazine nuclei were obtained by condensing a hydrazine monohydrate with maleic anhydride. An allylthio group as a pharmacologically active group was introduced into one side of a pyridazine ring. Arylalkylamines with benzene or pyridine moieties or heterocycloalkylamines with heterocycle moieties such as morpholine, piperidine, or pyrrolidine were also introduced into the para-position of allylthio pyridazine. These new compounds showed antiproliferative activities against SK-Hep-1 human liver cancer cells in MTT assays. These compounds are thus promising candidates for chemotherapy of hepatocellular carcinomas. Two compounds, 20c and 22a, showed higher potencies for inhibiting growth of hepatocellular carcinoma cells than did K6 ($ID_50$=1.08 mM). This suggests the potential anticancer activity of these two compounds.

The fluorescence characteristics of copolymers of styrene-maleic anhydride(PSMAn), styrene-maleic acid (PSMA), and PSMA complexed with $Eu^{3+}$ (PSMA-Eu) in tetrahydrofuran were studied. The excimer of PSMA and PSMA-Eu with 75% mole fraction of styrene appears to have larger binding energy than that with 50% or 67% styrene. The ratio of excimer to monomer intensities showed little change with the increase of styrene concentration up to $8.0{\times}10^{-3}M$, indicating the excimer formation is due to intramolecular process. Three existing mechanisms for intramolecular excimer formation are considered inadequate to explain the observed behavior. The quenching of excimer intensity by benzyl-acetate, mesitylene, and $CCl_4$ is interpreted in terms of the molar volume of quencher.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) coating solution containing glutaraldehyde (GA) and maleic anhydride (MA) as crosslinking agents was coated onto hydrolyzed poly acrylonitrile (PAN) hollow fiber membranes. The permselectivities of the resulting composite membranes prepared varying the reaction temperature and the concentration of the crosslinking agents were tested for 90 wt% ethanol aqueous mixtures by the pervaporation technique at $60^{\circ}C$. In general, the flux decreased while the selectivity increased for the increases of the reaction temperature and the crosslinking concentration. In case of GA as a crosslinking, the flux $165g/m^2hr$ and the separation factor 81 were obtained at GA 11 wt% and the reaction temperature $120^{\circ}C$. And for the case of MA, the flux $174g/m^2hr$ and the separation factor 73 were obtained at MA 11 wt% and the reaction temperature $120^{\circ}C$.

The changes of properties were studied for the polypropylene(PP)/Nylon6 blends containing different kinds of compatibilizer made by either reactive extrusion of solution reaction. The compatibilizers were PP grafted with maleic anhydride (MAH) made by reactive extrusion and solution reaction. The grafted MAH contents were 0.3 wt %, and 2.7 wt %, respectively. The composition of the PP/nylon6 blend was fixed at 75/25 by weight. Blending was carried out with twin-screw extruder (L/D=30, ${\psi}=30$) at 300 rpm. As the content of PP-g-MAH was increased, the crystallization peak of Nylon6 decreased gradually then finally disappeared. Disappearance of crystallization peak of Nylon6 was mostly affected by grafted MAH content rather than the preparation method and the amount of compatibilizer. The portion of Nylon6 that could not crystallize in its normal crystallization temperature crystallized together with PP at the crystallization temperature of PP. So called concurrent crystallization was observed. Meanwhile two more peaks were observed during heating cycle. One was exothermic peak at $193^{\circ}C$ near to crystallization temperature of Nylon6, the other was endothermic peak at $215^{\circ}C$ that was $5^{\circ}C$ lower than normal endothermic peak of Nylon6. To analyze the peaks, nylon6 was annealed in the differential scanning calorimeter. As a result, the peak at $193^{\circ}C$ was crystallization peak of imperfect crystalline of Nylon6 and the other peak at $215^{\circ}C$ was melting peak of imperfect crystalline of nylon6.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes crosslinked with poly(styrene-maleic anhydride) (PSMAn) were prepared, and the pervaporation characteristics of the membranes were studied for the separation of water/ethanol mixtures. The prepared PVA membranes showed that the permeation rate and separation factors were increased with increasing of PSMAn contents in the feed of 92/8 wt. % ethanol/water composition. However, when the water content in the feed composition was increased highly, the overall permeation rate was increased in the order of 2%>1%>0.5% in spite of the increase of the crosslinking contents, and the separation factor was decreased due to the higher sorbed water contents and the consequent plasticization action of membrane. Also, with respect to operating temperature, the permeation rate of the membranes obeyed the Arrhenius type. Especially, in the case of 2% crosslinked membrane, it was shown based on the pervaporation characteristics that both the permeation rate and separation factor were increased with increasing operating temperature from $30^{\circ}C$( to $50^{\circ}C$. From these results, it can be known that the hydrophilic groups introduced in the membrane by PSMAn highly affected the transport of permeants.

Maleic anhydride (MAH) grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MAH) copolymers were prepared by changing MAH and styrene monomer (SM) content, using a twin screw extruder at $190^{\circ}C$. The grafting degree was measured by non-aqueous back titration method. The grafting degree of PP-g-MAH-SM copolymer was higher than that of PP-g-MAH at the same MAH content. PP-g-MAH-SM/kenaf fiber (KF) composites were also prepared by using a PP-g-MAH as a matrix at $200^{\circ}C$ and the KF content was fixed at 20 wt%. Based on the degradation temperature investigated by TGA, the thermal stability of PP-g-MAH-SM/KF composites was more enhanced than that of PP-g-MAH only. Mechanical properties of the composites were also improved when MAH and SM applied together. The adhesion degree between the copolymer and KF was confirmed by both SEM pictures of the fractured surface and contact angles.

We synthesized microcapsule absorbent with crosslinked poly(styrene-$alt$-maleic anhydride) (PSMA) as a core and PSMA as a shell by a precipitation polymerization method for the delayed absorption of excess water in cement mortar. cPSMA-PSMAs with core-shell structure were synthesized with ratios of 1/1, 1/2 and 1/3 as core monomer mass to shell monomer mass to control shell thickness. We observed the hydrolysis of PSMA in cement-saturated aqueous solution by a FTIR spectrometer. We observed good core-shell structure microcapsules for 1/2(cPSMA #3), but observed incomplete core-shell structure for 1/1(cPSMA #2) and 1/3(cPSMA #4) of core/shell monomer ratios. The swelling ratio of cPSMA #3 in cement-saturated aqueous solution was increased until 20 min. After that it was decreased until 2 hrs swelling time, and they started to increase again. The viscosities of cement paste with cPSMA #3 microcapsules were very slowly increased until 1 hr and increased fast after 1.5 hrs. Cement mortar with 0.5 wt% cPSMA #1 having only core part showed about 5% increase in compressive strength compared to that of plain cement mortar. cPSMA #3 added cement mortar showed the highest compressive strength with 7% increase.

A recycling process for the waste FRP from boats was developed. The recycling process is composed of decomposition of waste FRP with propylene glycol and synthesis of recycled unsaturated polyester resin from the decomposed liquid material. Prior to the decomposition, waste FRP was cut into 2cm x 5cm segments and mechanical impact was applied by press roller to give gaps between cumulated laminates. Propylene glycol effectively decomposed the waste FRP segments and glass fibers were easily separated from decomposed liquid material. Recycled unsaturated polyester resin could be made from the decomposed liquid material by reaction with maleic anhydride and phthalic anhydride.

In this study, ${\alpha}$-chlorosuccinic acid was synthesized through the reaction of maleic anhydride with HCl(g), (UV)250 nm~300 nm wavelength in presence of $CCl_4$. For the second reaction of N-(monochloro)succinic acid contained glucosamine derivatives(I) was accomplished by a modification of the general acylation using excess ${\alpha}$-chlorosuccinic anhydride in the presence of 2% acetic acid with methanol condition as a solvent at elevated temperature($70^{\circ}C$). We considered organic acid derivatives were useful especially for treatment for the cultivating porphyra.
