식품 포장재로 사용되는 PP/EVOH/PP 다층 복합필름 scrap의 재활용 가능성을 연구하였다. 본 연구는 PP/EVOH scrap에 두 종류의 상용화제를 첨가하여 열적 특성과 기계적 특성을 조사하였다. 열적 특성은 융융거동을, 그리고 기계적 특성으로는 인장강도, 파단신율, 인장탄성율 등의 특성을 상용화제의 종류와 조성비 변화에 따라 조사하였다. 이들 연구로부터 상용화제인 Minanto-s와 GMS에 대해서 모두 0.5wt. %이상의 조성에서 혼합재질인 PP/EVOH scrap의 상용성을 갖게 함을 알 수 있었다.

Deleted in breast cancer-1 (DBC1) contributes to the regulation of cell survival and apoptosis. Recent studies demonstrated that DBC is phosphorylated at Thr454 by ATM/ATR kinases in response to DNA damage, which is a critical event for p53 activation and apoptosis. However, how DBC1 phosphorylation is regulated has not been studied. Here we show that protein phosphatase 4 (PP4) dephosphorylates DBC1, regulating its role in DNA damage response. PP4R2, a regulatory subunit of PP4, mediates the interaction between DBC1 and PP4C, a catalytic subunit. PP4C efficiently dephosphorylates pThr454 on DBC1 in vitro, and the depletion of PP4C/PP4R2 in cells alters the kinetics of DBC1 phosphorylation and p53 activation, and increases apoptosis in response to DNA damage, which are compatible with the expression of the phosphomimetic DBC-1 mutant (T454E). These suggest that the PP4-mediated dephosphorylation of DBC1 is necessary for efficient damage responses in cells.

본 연구에서는 폴리프로팔렌(PP)/다중벽 탄소나노튜브(MWCNT) 복합체를 이축압출기를 사용하여 펠렛형 MWCNT를 20wt%까지 함량별로 제조하고, MWCNT가 20 wt% 첨가된 복합체를 마스터배치(M/B)로 사용하여 다시 PP와 컴파운딩하여 희석하였다. PP/MWCNT 복합체는 함량 변화에 따라 전기전도도 열전도도, 모폴로지, 열적, 고체 점탄성, 기계적 성질을 조사하였고, 또한 희석된 PP/MWCNT 복합체와 1 단계 PP/MWCNT 복합체 간의 물성을 비교하였다. 전기전도도와 열전도도는 MWCNT의 함량이 3 wt% 일 때 percolation threshold 현상을 보였고 M/B로 제조된 복합체가 더 우수한 전도도를 보였다. 복합체의 MWCNT 함량이 증가하면 비등온 결정화 온도 및 열분해 온도가 증가하였다. 모폴로지를 통하여 M/B로 제조된 복합체의 MWCNT 길이가 짧아진 것을 확인하였고, 이는 기계적 물성의 향상에 도움을 준 것으로 나타났다.

입체규칙성이 다른 폴리프로필렌 (PP)의 결정화 거동을 비교하였다. 결정화 조건은 신디오택틱 폴리프로필렌 (sPP)과 아이소택틱 폴리프로필렌 (iPP)의 단위 결정 격자, 라멜라 구조, 구정의 성장에 영향을 주었다. 냉각속도가 증가할수록 결정 구조의 안정성이 감소하였으며, 냉각속도에 따른 구조적 변화는 iPP 가 sPP보다 크게 나타났다. sPP는 1 $^{\circ}C$/min 이하의 속도로 서냉될 때 body centered cell H의 fully antichiral packing 구조를 형성하였고 sPP가 primitive cellII구조를 형성할 때, 결정 격자와 라멜라 구조는 열이력의 영향을 작게 받은 것으로 확인되었다. 최대 결정화 온도에서 결정화 속도는 iPP가 sPP보다 빠르게 나타났다.

Protein phosphatase 4 (PP4) is a crucial protein complex that plays an important role in DNA damage response (DDR), including DNA repair, cell cycle arrest and apoptosis. Despite the significance of PP4, the mechanism by which PP4 is regulated remains to be elucidated. Here, we identified a novel PP4 inhibitor, protein phosphatase 4 inhibitory protein (PP4IP) and elucidated its cellular functions. PP4IP-knockout cells were generated using the CRISPR/Cas9 system, and the phosphorylation status of PP4 substrates (H2AX, KAP1, and RPA2) was analyzed. Then we investigated that how PP4IP affects the cellular functions of PP4 by immunoprecipitation, immunofluorescence, and DNA double-strand break (DSB) repair assays. PP4IP interacts with PP4 complex, which is affected by DNA damage and cell cycle progression and decreases the dephosphorylational activity of PP4. Both overexpression and depletion of PP4IP impairs DSB repairs and sensitizes cells to genotoxic stress, suggesting timely inhibition of PP4 to be indispensable for cells in responding to DNA damage. Our results identify a novel inhibitor of PP4 that inhibits PP4-mediated cellular functions and establish the physiological importance of this regulation. In addition, PP4IP might be developed as potential therapeutic reagents for targeting tumors particularly with high level of PP4C expression.

용액 분산법을 이용하여 CNT를 균질하게 분산시켰고, CNT-폴리프로필렌 복합재료 제조를 위해 압출기와 사출기를 사용하였다. CNT 고유의 전도성을 기반으로 CNT-PP 복합재료의 내부 손상을 감지하기 위해 전기저항 측정법을 이용하였다. CNT-PP의 기계적 및 계면 물성을 확인하고 일반 PP와 비교하였다. CNT의 강화 효과로 인하여 CNT를 함유함으로서, PP 기지의 기계적 물성은 더 증가되는 경향을 확인하였다. CNT-PP 복합재료의 내부 손상을 평가하기 위해 파괴 및 굴곡실험을 진행하며, 동시에 발생되는 전기저항 변화도를 감지하여 미세손상을 평가하였다. CNT 강화제의 첨가는 좋은감지능을 보여주었다. 낮은 CNT 함유율임에도 CNT-PP 복합재료의 감지가 가능했으며, 반복 하중 실험 중 최대 임계 응력을 확인하여, 내부에 발생된 미세 파괴를 찾아 낼 수 있었다.

Su, pp.ier quality plays a major role in the evaluation of su, pp.iers, making it very necessary to develop a proper quality measure useful in selecting su, pp.iers that is able to meet quality specification of the customer. In this paper, we present a measure of the overall quality performance which is a weighted geometric mean of the process capability indices of the quality characteristics of a su, pp.ier. This measure can be used both as a measure of su, pp.ier selection for the customer and as a measure for the self-analysis of the quality performance for the su, pp.ier.

Single crystals of metallocene-catalyzed isotactic polypropylene (iPP) and/or syndiotactic PP (sPP) were prepared and preliminarily characterized. The crystallization was performed utilizing 0.1 % by weight concentrations of each PP in o-xylene in the range of temperature of $40{\sim}90^{\circ}C$. Following the XRD patterns, samples were ${\alpha}$-iPP and antichiral Cell III of sPP. The XRD pattern of iPP shows three ${\alpha}$-form peaks due to the (110), (040), (130) planes at $2{\theta}=14.2^{\circ}$, $17^{\circ}$, $18.8^{\circ}$, respectively. The XRD pattern of sPP is characterized by the presence of the (020) reflection at $16^{\circ}$. The melting point ($123^{\circ}C$ and $148^{\circ}C$, respectively) of the metallocene catalyzed iPP and sPP were generally lower than that of conventional PP ($160{\sim}170^{\circ}C$) due to the misinsertion of the monomer. When metallocene-catalyzed iPP samples were crystallized isothermally from solution grown at a lower temperature, lozenge shape single crystals were observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM).

Pectobacterium carotovorum subsp. carotovorum (formerly Erwinia carotovora subsp. carotovora) is a plant pathogen that causes soft rot and stem rot diseases in several crops, including Chinese cabbage, potato, and tomato. To control this bacterium, we isolated a bacteriophage, PP1, with lytic activity against P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum. Transmission electron microscopy revealed that the PP1 phage belongs to the Podoviridae family of the order Caudovirales, which exhibit icosahedral heads and short non-contractile tails. PP1 phage showed high specificity for P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum, and several bacteria belonging to different species and phyla were resistant to PP1. This phage showed rapid and strong lytic activity against its host bacteria in liquid medium and was stable over a broad range of pH values. Disease caused by P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum was significantly reduced by PP1 treatment. Overall, PP1 bacteriophage effectively controls P. carotovorum subsp. carotovorum.

This study examined the effects of the addition of maleic anhydride-grafted polypropylene (PP-g-MA) and polyolefin elastomer (POE) on polyamide 66 (PA66) and polypropylene (PP) blends. The blends of PA66/PP with PP-g-MA and POE were prepared using a twin screw extruder. Mechanical testing results revealed that the tensile, flexural, and izod impact strengths of the blends were maximized at a PP-g-MA content of 2 phr. The increased mechanical strength of the blends with PP-g-MA was attributed to the compatibilizing effect of the PA66 and PP blends. In addition, as the POE content increased, the impact strength of the blends increased. However, at a high POE content, the tensile and flexural strengths decreased, seemingly because of the lower mechanical properties of POE.
