Alcaligenes sp. SH-69에서 탄소원의 고갈 또는 새로운 탄소원의 첨가시 포도당을 단일탄소원으로 하여 생합성된 poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) [poly(3HB-co-3HV)] 공중합체의 물질대사 변화 양상을 조사하였다. 회분배양 과정 중 탄소원이 고갈된 후에는 세포 내에 축척되었던 poly(3HB-co-3HV) 공중합체의 분해가 일어나 고분자 함량의 감소와 함께 무게평균 분자량도 감소하였다. 분해 과정 중에는 저분자량의 PHA에 비하여 상대적으로 고분자량의 PHA양이 크게 감소하여 평균 분자량 분포가 보다 낮은 방향으로 이동되는 양상을 보였다. 이에 반하여 1차 탄소원(기질)으로 사용된 포도당의 고갈 직후 2차 기질로서 포도당과 함께 3HV의 전구물질인 levulinic acid를 혼합기질로 첨가해 주었을 경우, 세포 건체량의 지속적인 증가와 아울러 3HV 함량이 높은 poly(3HB-co-3HV) 공중합체의 합성이 이루어졌다. 그러나 아세톤을 이용한 고분자의 분획 실험 결과, 2차 기질로부터의 poly(3HB-co-3HV) 공중합체의 생합성과 1차 기질로부터 생합성된 공중합체의 분해가 동시에 일어나며, 또한 각 기질로부터 생합성된 고분자가 단지 3HV의 함량이 다른 poly(3HB-co-3HV) 공중합체임에도 불구하고 혼합물 형태로 존재하고 있음을 확인하였다.

새로운 방법에 의하여 제조된 셀룰로오스-NMMO pre-dope를 이용한 셀룰로오스 섬유 및 필름 제조를 위한 압출가공 시 열분해 및 기계적 분해에 따른 셀룰로오스의 분자량 및 알파 셀룰로오스 함량 변화에 대하여 고찰하였다. 고속분쇄에 의해 제조된 pre-dope를 압출기에 통과시켜 용액으로 제조할 때 가공온도, 셀룰로오스의 농도 및 체제시간에 따라 셀룰로오스의 분자량 및 알파 셀룰로오스 함량 변화가 다양하게 나타났다. 셀룰로오스의 분자량과 알파 셀룰로오스 함량은 셀룰로오스의 농도가 낮을수록 온도가 높을수록 감소하였다. 셀룰로오스 농도 15% 및 짧은 체제시간 영역에서 알파 셀룰로오스 함량은 높은 전단으로 인해 온도가 높을수록 가장 큰 변화를 보였다. 다양한 가공조건으로부터 알파 셀룰로오스 함량변화 거동은 분자량 변화와 다른 거동을 보였으며 셀룰로오스 용액 제조를 위한 압출가공조건이 중요 요인임을 알 수 있었다.

본 논문에서는 poly(vinyl acetate-co-ethylene)을 산화, 환원 방법으로 중합할 때 poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVOH)이 최종 에멀젼의 물성에 미치는 영향과 pH의 변화가 최종 에멀젼의 물성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 알아보았다. 실험 결과 PVOH의 분자량이 에멀젼 성질에 크게 영향을 미쳤다. 분자량이 낮은 PVOH 이용 시는 점도가 낮은 제품을 얻었고, 분자량이 큰 PVOH를 이용 시는 높은 점도의 제품을 얻었다. 그러나 pH를 변화 시키면서 중합한 제품의 최종 성질은 PVOH에 대하여 다른 결과를 얻었다. 일반적으로 중합도가 높고 부분 검화물의 PVOH를 이용한 poly(vinyl acetate) 에멀젼 최종점도는 상대적으로 매우 높은 점도를 유지하는 데 비하여, VAE 에멀젼에서는 높은 pH에서 합성 시에는 낮은 에멀젼의 점도를 얻었다. 이것은 에멀젼 합성 중에 PVOH의 분자량의 저하에 의한 영향으로 판단된다. pH가 증가 할수록 그라프트율이 감소하고, 분자량이 감소하면서 점도가 낮아진다는 결과를 얻었다.

The anodic degradation of benzoquinone(BQ), a model compound for wastewater treatment was carried out using a home-made flow-through electrochemical cell with carbon fibers. To optimize the controlled current electrolysis condition of an aqueous BQ solution, the experimental variables affecting the degradation of BQ, such as the applying current, pH, reaction time, and flow rate of the BQ solution were examined. The degradation products of the oxidation reaction were identified by High Performance Liquid Chromatography and Inductively Coupled Plasma Atomic Emission Spectrometer. Low molecular weight aliphatic acids, and CO2 were the major products in this experiment. The removal efficiency of BQ from the solution increased with the applying current and time. 99.23% of 1.0 × 10-2 M BQ was degraded to aliphatic acids and CO2 when the applying current is 175 mA in a 12 hr electrolysis.

In the presence of laccase, low molecular weight (M.W.) fractions from lignosulfonate (M.W. 97 kD) were produced. By Sephadex column chromatography, four lower M.W. fractions of 9 kD, 1.8 kD, 1 kD and 0.85 kD were identified. The addition of acetovanillone (AV) or acetosyringone (AS) enhanced to the degradation of lignosulfonate with fungal laccase. During this process, there were found new generation of lower M.W. fractions, e.g. approximately 20 kD, 1.8 kD, 1 kD and 0.85 kD for AV, and 20 kD, 3 kD, 1 kD and 0.85 kD for AS, respectively. The quantities of lower M.W. products (especially the fractions of M.W. 1 kD and 0.85 kD) were larger than those in the controls. Also, its degradation became more active in the presence of AS than AV. The presence of AS or AV seems to prevent the re-polymerization of degraded lignosulfonate by the laccase.

The sliding wear behavior of ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) was examined on a novel low temperature degradation-free zirconia/alumina composite material and conventional alumina and zirconia ceramics used for femoral head in total hip joint replacement. The wear of UHMWPE pins against these ceramic disks was evaluated by performing linear reciprocal sliding and repeat pass rotational sliding tests for one million cycles in bovine serum. The weight loss of polyethylene against the novel low temperature degradation-free zirconia/alumina composite disks was much less than those against conventional ceramics for all tests. The mean weight loss of the polyethylene pins was more io the linear reciprocal sliding test than in the repeal pass rotational sliding lest for all kinds of disk materials. Neither the coherent transfer film nor the surface damage was observed on the surface of the novel zirconia/alumina composite disks during the test. The observed r,'stilts indicated that the wear of the polyethylene was closely related to contacting materials and kinematic motions. In conclusion, the novel zirconia/alumina composite leads the least wear of polyethylene among the tested ceramics and demonstrates the potential as lhe alternative materials for femoral head in total hip joint replacement.

In this study, the thermal degradation process has been investigated at various reaction temperature$(350{\sim}400^{\circ}C)$ and times$(30{\sim}120\;min)$ in order to recycle waste plastic films as solid state wax. Waste plastic films were easily melted by adding a small amount of waxes. The effects of wax addition and nitrogen flow rate on their thermal degradation properties were investigated. FT-IR, GPC and viscometer were used to analyze properties of the solid wax including the structure, molicular weight distribution and melt viscosity. The average molecular weight of solid wax was decreased with increasing the reaction time, temperature and amount of wax added, Also, the viscosity of solid wax decreased with increasing the stirring speed at a constant reaction temperature and time, and its viscosity got close to zero above $390^{\circ}C$.

To elucidate the effect of gamma-irradiation on the molecular properties of hemoglobin, the secondary, tertiary structure, and the molecular weight size of the protein were examined after irradiation at 0.5, 1, 5, and 10 kGy. Gamma-irradiation of hemoglobin solutions caused the disruption of the ordered structure of the protein molecules, as well as degradation, cross-linking, and aggregation of the polypeptide chains. A SDS-PAGE study indicated that irradiation caused initial fragmentation of the proteins and subsequent aggregation due to cross-linking of the protein molecules. The effect of irradiation on the protein was more significant at lower protein concentrations. Ascorbic acid decreased the degradation and aggregation of proteins by scavenging oxygen radicals that were produced by irradiation. A circular dichroism study showed that irradiation decreased the helical content of hemoglobin with a concurrent increase of the aperiodic structure content. Fluorescence spectroscopy indicated that irradiation decreased the emission intensity that was excited at 280 nm.

The high molecular-weight mucilage extracted and purified from cactus fruit of Opuntia ficus-indica var. Saboten was degraded by the cell-free culture filtrate of a fungus isolated from soil. TLC analysis of the polymeric mucilage after incubation with the fungal culture filtrate confirmed its degradation. When the degradation products were tested for their qualitative reactions with ninhydrin and phenol-sulfuric acid, only phenol-sulfuric acid gave positive development, and ninhydrin did not show any observable color reaction. This coloring reaction suggested the presence of a carbohydrate without an amino group within the mucilage. Analyses by HPLC and liquid gel permeation chromatography on sephadex G-100 also provided additional information on degradation of the mucilage by the fungal culture filtrate. The sequences of ITS-5.8S rDNA from the fungal isolate that was cultivated for the preparation of mucilage-degrading enzyme showed 99% similarity to those of Pestalotiopsis aquatica.

In order to known the extend of contribution to the degradation of organic materials and nutrient recycling by sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) and methane-producing bacteria (MPB) in sediment, the distribution and activity of these two groups of microorganisms were studied montly in 1994 at two sites, one littoral (Sanggulri) and the other profunndal (DAM), in Lake Soyang. In the seasonal distribution of two microorganisms, SRB were 1.07 $\times$ 10$^{3}$-2.42 $\times$ 10$^{5}$ cells/g-dry weight at Sanggulri, 2.40 $\times$ 10$^{5}$ -1.29 $\times$ 10$^{6}$ at Dam and MPB were 0.52 $\times$ 10$^{3}$ cells/g-dry weight at Sangguri and 1.44 $\times$ 10$^{3}$-6.89 $\times$ 10$^{3}$ at Dam. In these results, the density of SRB in Lake Soyang is much higher than other lakes. These high values might be due to higher sulfate concentration, 0.69-4.05 mM, than normal freshwater, 0.01-1.2 mM. And a good correlation of SRB and chlorophyll a concentration implied that the important environmental factor on distribution of SRB might be the concentration of available organic matter. In a comparison of sulfate-reducing rate and methane producing rate in 1995, the activity of SRB for the degradation of organic matter was higher than MPB by factor of 359. Conclusively SRB superior to MPB in the distribution and activity are more important annearobic bacteria in Lake Soyang sediments.
