Aromatic soluble polyimides were synthesized from 2,2-bis(3-amino-4-hydroxyphenyl)hexafluoropropane and various dianhydrides such as pyromelltic dianhydride(PMDA), 3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride(BTDA), and 4,4'-(hexafluoroisopropylidene)-bis(phthalic anhydride)(6FDA). Polyimides prepared by thermal imidization were insoluble in common organic solvents (acetone, MNP, DMAc, DMSO, THF, and DMF) but those prepared by chemical imidization were soluble. The difference of solubility was explained by esterification between hydroxyl group and $CH_3COO^-$ from acetic anhydride used as a dehydration agent in chemical imidization. Glass transition temperatures of polyimides by thermal method were higher than those by chemical method. All of the polyimides are stable up to $300^{\circ}C$ regardless of the sample preparation. The x-ray diffraction patterns showed that all polyimides were amorphrous.

Solution polymerization was conducted with water-soluble methacrylic acid (MAA) as a monomer and potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator at a selected temperature between $70^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$. When the ratio between MAA and water was reduced or initiator concentration increased, molecular weights decreased. Molecular weights of poly(methacrylic acid) (PMAA) showed nearly no dependence on reaction temperature. The Weissenberg effect was observed in most polymerization reactions, while its effect weakened at $90^{\circ}C$. The polydispersity index was less than 1.5 in most of the reactions. An increase in the stirring speed produced PMAAs with increasing molecular weights. When the stirring speed reached 800 rpm, we retrieved a monodisperse PMAA with both the number and weight average molecular weights of 791,000 g/mol. The glass transition temperature was found to be $162^{\circ}C$.

As one of the methods for recycling the FRP from the small and medium waste ships, separation of roving layer from the mat has some merits in a sense of the recycling energy and the environmental effects. Similar characteristics, however, between the roving and the mat even with different ratio of the resin and the glass and the thickness of the roving, much thinner than the mat, make the mechanically automatic differentiation difficult. In this study spectrochemical differentiation between the two layers has been made using (1) boiling concentrated sulfuric acid which can dissolve the resin in the FRP layer, (2) methanol and isopropanol solution saturated with KOH which can dissolve the glass, or (3) hydrogen fluoride(HF) solution which can reacts with $SiO_2$ fragments of the glass. Furthermore coloring water-soluble dye following the HF treatment makes the roving layer more distinguishable photo-physically.

Traditional doenjang was fermented in different vessels, and its quality characteristics were investigated during ripening. Fermentation vessels used were dark brown glaze pot, dark brown glaze pot with glass lid and plastic box. Water content of doenjang decreased during fermentation, with doenjang pepared in dark brown glaze pot with glass lid showed the highest water content reduction. Water-soluble nitrogen content $(4.56{\sim}5.80%)$ was the highest at 8 months fermentation and amino type nitrogen content continuously increased until 12 months, with doenjang in dark brown glaze pot higher than those in plastic box. Sensory evaluation revealed the quality of doenjang fermented in plastic box was significantly lower than others after 4 months.

Poly(l,6-heptadiyne) derivatives with phenoxy and 3,7-dimethyloctyloxyphenoxy substituents were synthesized using metathesis polymerization. Polymerizations using MoCl$\sub$5/ as the sole catalyst gave high yields and the resulting polymers were completely soluble in organic solvents. The polymers' structures and thermal properties were characterized using NMR and UV-Vis spectroscopy, as well as with TGA and DSC thermograms. From the analysis of the high-resolution $\^$13/C-NMR spectra, we was found that these polymers contain six-membered rings. The number-average molecular weights and polydispersities of the polymers were ca. 7.0∼20 ${\times}$ 10$^3$ and 3.1∼5.8, respectively. The glass transition temperatures of the polymers were found to be in the range 91∼159$^{\circ}C$.

A new class of soluble PPV derivatives containing dimethyldodecylsilylphenyl unit as a pendant was synthesized by Gilch polymerization method. The resulting electroluminescent (EL) polymers showed good solubility, good film-forming ability onto the ITO substrate, and exhibited an amorphous morphology due to dimethyldodecylsilylphenyl branched group linked to the polymer backbone. The weight average molecular weights and polydispersities of the present EL polymers were in the range of 8.0-80.0 x $10^{4}$ and 2.67-7.80, respectively. The resulting EL polymers revealed a high thermal stability of up to $355-410^{\circ}C$. Their glass transition temperatures were in the range of $104-251^{\circ}C$. The emission colors could be tuned from green to orange-red colors by changing the MEH-PPV contents in copolymer systems. The turn-on voltages of the EL polymers were in the range of 1.8-4.0 V.

It has been known that acid-resistant concretes on the liquid glass basis have high porosity (up to 18${\sim}$20%), low strength and insufficient water resistance. Therefore they can not be used as materials for load-bearing structural elements. Significant increasing of silicate matrix strength and density was carried out by incorporation of special liquid organic alkali-soluble silicate additives, which block of superficial pores and reduces concrete shrinkage deformation. It was demonstrated that introduction of tetrafurfuryloxisilane additive sharply increases strength, durability and shock resistance of silicate polymer concrete in aggressive media. This effect is attributable to hardening of contacts between silicate binder gel globes and modification of alkaline component owing to "inoculation" of the furan radical. The optimal concrete composition with the increased strength, chemical resistance in the aggressive environments, density and crack resistance was obtained.

The often-encountered problem of disrupting bacteria for the purpose of extracting soluble protein has generated various methods. Many require specialized equipment. Very often, especially during preliminary studies, investigators need a simple, fast, and inexpensive method for cell disruption that preserves biological activity. This paper compares some simple and inexpensive methods for cell disruption, such as bead-vortexing, freesing-thawing, French pressing, and sonication. It also provides some tips to increase protein yield and preserve biological activity. If performed under optimal conditions, bead-vortexing gives protein yields that are comparable to French pressing and sonication. It also preserves the activities of labile enzymes and releases periplasmic enzymes. Vortexing with glass beads appears to be the simplest method for cell disruption.

Hyperbranched poly(ether sulfone) analogs with the 1,3,5-s-triazine moiety were prepared by the direct polymerization of AB$_2$type monomer, 2,4-bis(4-hydroxyphenyl)-6-(4-(4-(4-fluorobenzenesulfonyl)phenoxy)phenyl)-1,3,5-s-triazine (3). The selective reactivity of three chlorine atoms on cyanuric chloride toward nucleophiles provides an efficient route for the systematic synthesis of AB$_2$type triazine monomers and their hyperbranched polymers. The triazine rings influenced the structural and material characteristics of these hyperbranched polymers. The hyperbranched poly(ether sulfone) analog4 showed a glass transition at 295$^{\circ}C$. and was soluble in THF, 1,4-dioxane, and DMSO. An excellent thermal stability of polymer 4 was exhibited by a TGA analysis, which showed that 5% weight loss occurred at 480$^{\circ}C$.

3,4-Di-(2'-hydroxyethoxy)-4-nitrostilbene (2) was prepared by the reaction of 2-iodoethanol with 3,4-dihydroxy-4-nitrostilbene (1). Diol 2 was condensed with 2,4-toluenediisocyanate ,3,3-dimethoxy-4,4'-biphenylenediisocyanate , and 1,6-hexamethylenediisocyanate to yield polyurethanes 3, 4, and 5 containing the NLO-chromophore. Polymers 3-5 were soluble in common organic solvents such as acetone and DMSO. The glass transition temperatures(T$\sub$g/) of the resulting polymers 3-5 were obseved around 100-114$^{\circ}C$. Electrooptic coefficients (r$\sub$33/) of the poled polymer films were in the range of 18-25 pm/V at 633 nm. Polymers 3-5 began to decompose around 250$^{\circ}C$ in TGA thermograms.
