수열합성법으로 제작된 ZnO 나노와이어는 저온 MBE (Molecular Beam Epitaxy) 방식과 달리 Ti, Au와 같은 촉매로 부터 성장이 끝난뒤 나노와이어 끝에 남는 촉매를 제거해야할 필요가 없으며, 저온에서 합성이 가능하기 때문에 현재 연구가 많이 되고 있는 방법중에 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 수열 합성법을 이용하여 금속촉매 또는 AZO로 seed를 형성한 후 기판 위에 균일한 크기의 ZnO 나노막대를 성장시키고 성장밀도 및 길이의 간편한 제어를 하였다. 이를 위해 계면활성제인 PEI (Polyethyleneimine) 첨가 및 Chloride ($Cl_-$)를 조절하여 ZnO 나노와어의 성장밀도를 조절 하고자 하였다. 실험방법으로는 전구체인 Zn(NO3)2${\cdot}$6H2O와 HMT에 Chloride 계열인 Ammonium chloride 와 Kcl 의 몰농도를 각각 조절하고 PEI를 첨가하여, ZnO 나노와이어를 성장하였다. 성장된 ZnO 나노와이어의 특성을 평가하기 위해 field emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM)을 이용하여 광학적인 특성을 측정하였으며, 결정성을 조사하기 위해 X-ray diffraction (XRD)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한 scanning PL 장비를 통해 photoluminescence양을 측정하고 ZnO 나노와이어의 응용 가능성을 평가하였다.

We fabricated several composite membranes with selectively permeable performance designed to facilitate water vapor transport and resist DMMP vapor permeation. Materials for selective permeable membrane were based on polyvinyl alcohol and functional polymer containing basic functional group. With these materials, we characterized selectively permeable performance to identify next-generation material with chemical-biological protective capability. Results showed that polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/polyethyleneimine (PEI) materials possessed performance with superior water vapor permeation ($2,200{\sim}2,900g/m^2/day$) and protective capability against DMMP vapor ($47g/m^2/day$).

Pigment red 53:1 is a dye used in various products as a component of the inks, suspected of being carcinogenic. Thus, the environmental and occupational issues related to it are important. The enzyme-based approach with reusability has advantages to consume less energy and generate less harsh side- products compared to the conventional strategies including separations, microbe, and electrochemical treatment. The degradation of Pigment red 53:1 by the lignin peroxidase immobilized on the surface of magnetic particles has been studied. The immobilization of the peroxidase was conducted on magnetic particle surface with the treatment of polyethyleneimine, glutaraldehyde, and the peroxidase, in sequence. The immobilization was confirmed using X-ray photon spectroscopy. The absorbance peak of the pigment was monitored at 495 nm of UV/Vis spectrum with respect to time to calculate the catalytic activities of the pigment for the immobilized lignin peroxidase. For the comparison, the absorbance of the lignin peroxidase free in solution was also monitored. The catalytic rate constant values for the free lignin peroxidases and the immobilized those were 0.51 and $0.34min^{-1}$, respectively. The reusable activity for the immobilized lignin peroxidase was kept to 92% after 10 cycles. The stabilities for heat and storage were also investigated for both cases.

DNA addicts induced by putative chemical related to carcinogenesis were detected and determined by $^{32}$P-Postlabelling assay after exposure of 4 compounds comprising two auto dyes (amaranth, new coccine) and two flavonoid compounds (rutin, quercetin) to ICR mouse. DNA was isolated from mouse liver and digested enzymatically to deoxyribonucleoside 3'-monophosphate. The postincubation of DNA digests with nuclease Pl before $^{32}$P-labelling enhanced the technique's sensitivity. Nuclease Pl cleaves deoxyribonucleoside 3'-mono-phosphates of normal nucleotides to deoxyrihonucleosides which do not serve as substrates for polynucleotide kinase, while most of addicts were found to be totally or partially resistant to the 3'-dephosphorylating action of nuclease Pl. The adducted deoxyribonucleoside 3'-monophosphate was converted to 5'-$^{32}$P-labelled deoxynucleoside 3',5'-bisphosphate by T4 polynucleotide kinase. The nucleotides were separated by anion-exchange thin layer chromatography(TLC) on polyethyleneimine cellulose by 4-dimensional or 2-dimensional TLC then detected by autoradiography. The results show that DNA addicts were detected in liver DNA of ICR mouse after administration of amaranth and quercetin by 2-dimensional and/or 4-dimensional TLC.

In this study, we synthesized a biocatalyst consisting of glucose oxidase (GOx), polyethyleneimine (PEI) and carbon nanotube (CNT) with addition of glutaraldehyde (GA)(GA/[GOx/PEI/CNT])for fabrication of glucose sensor. Main bonding of the GA/[GOx/PEI/CNT] catalyst was formed by crosslinking of functional end groups between GOx/PEI and GA. Catalytic activity of GA/[GOx/PEI/CNT] was quantified by UV-Vis and electrochemical measurements. As a result of that, high immobilization ratio of 199% than other catalyst (with only physical adsorption) and large sensitivity value of $13.4{\mu}A/cm^2/mM$ was gained. With estimation of the biosensor stability, it was found that the GA/[GOx/PEI/CNT] kept about 88% of its initial activity even after three weeks. It shows GA minimized the loss of GOx and improved sensing ability and stability compared with that using other biocatalysts.

Aqueous gold nanoparticle dispersion was synthesized by chemical reduction method using diethanolamine as reducing agent and polyethyleneimine as dispersion stabilizer. The synthesis conditions for the stable dispersion of the gold nanoparticle suspension were determined by changing the amount of the reducing agent and dispersant during the wet chemical synthesis procedures. The face centered cubic lattice structure of the gold nanoparticles was confirmed by using X-ray diffraction and the morphologies of the nanoparticles were observed by transmission electron microscope. The synthesized gold nanoparticle dispersion was concentrated by evaporating the dispersion medium at room temperature followed by the addition of ethyleneglycol as humectant for the increase of the elastic properties to obtain gold nanoparticle inks for direct ink writing process. The line patterns were obtained with the gold nanoparticle inks during the writing procedures and the morphologies of the fine patterns were observed by scanning electron microscope.

Biosensors consist of biochemical recognition agents like antibodies immobilized on the surfaces of transducers that change the recognition into a measurable electronic signal. Here we report a piezoelectric immunosensor made to detect Vibrio vulnificus. A 9MHz AT-cut piezoelectric wafer attached with two gold electrodes of 5mm diameter was used as the transducer of the QCM biosensor with a reproducibility of ${\pm}0.1Hz$ in frequency response. We have tried different approaches to immobilize antibody on the sensor chip. Concerning the orientation of antibody for the best antigen binding capacity, the antibody was immobilized by specific binding to protein G or by cross-linking through hydrazine. In addition, protein G was cross-linked on glutaraldehyde activated immine layer (PEI) or EDC/NHS activated sulfide monolayer (MPA). PEI was found to be more effective to immobilize protein G following glutaraldehyde activation than MPA. However, hydrazine chip showed a better capability to immobilize more IgG than protein G chip and a higher sensitivity. The sensor system was able to detect V. vulnificus in dose dependent manner and was able to detect bacterial cells within 5 minutes by monitoring frequency shifts in real time. The detection limit can be improved by preincubation to enrich the bacterial cell number.

Bovine Carbonic anhydrase (BCA) was immobilized on a submicro-porous membrane through covalent immobilization. The immobilization was conducted on the porous membrane surface with the treatment of polyethyleneimine, glutaraldehyde, and the anhydrase, in sequence. The immobilization was confirmed using X-ray photon spectrometer. The pH values of carbon-dioxide saturated solution with buffer were monitored with respect to time to calculate the catalytic activities of hydration of carbon-dioxide for free and immobilized CA. The catalytic rate constant values for free CA, immobilized CA on polystyrene nanoparticles, and immobilized CA on a porous cellulose acetate membrane were 0.79, 0.67, and 0.56 $s^{-1}$, respectively. Reusability was studied up to 10 cycles of $CO_2$ sequestration. The activity for the CA immobilized on the membrane was kept to 95% after 10 cycles, and comparable to the CA on the nanoparticles. The stabilities for heat and storage were also investigated for the three cases. The results suggested that the CA immobilized the membrane had the least loss rate of the activity compared to the others. From this study, the porous membrane was feasible as a carrier for the CA immobilization in hydration and sequestration of carbon-dioxide.

Latex microspheres of styrene/acryl copolymer with acrylamide functional group were used for the stable covalent immobilization of an enzyme applicable for enzymatic synthesis of glycoside. The latex microspheres were coated with polyethyleneimine to establish structural and functional properties relevant to the covalent Immobilization with a high retention of activity. Polythyleneimine-coated microspheres satisfactorily immobilized the invertase for methyl fructoside synthesis, and model reaction were formed into alginate-enclosed microspheres biocatalyst. Using the alginate-enclosed microspheres biocatalyst, the yield of model glycoside was obtained as high as 52.2% at concentration of aqueous 30%(v/v) methanol and 0.291mo1/1 sucrose solution with 2U/ml of activity. The present study showed that the latex microspheres were successfully applied to enzymatic synthesis of glycoside.

We make several membranes with multilayer structure and characterize protective performance in various ways. Multilayer membrane is composed of shell fabric, support membrane, functional polymer membrane and liner fabric. In this research, we apply cellulose acetate derivatives as base polymer in functional polymer membrane and characterize water resistance, water vapor permeation, protective performance against DMMP and aerosol. Test results show that cellulose based polymer with polyethyleneimine possess performance with good water vapor permeation and excellent protective capability against DMMP equivalent to Saratoga type's protective suits. Also, these materials possess aerosol protective performance and water resistance.
