Ozone is one of the most significant atmospheric constituents controlling the intensity of solar UV-B irradiance (280 to 320nm), and the decrease of the total ozone amount supported by ozonesondes and spectrometers will result in the increase of UV-B irradiance at the earth's surface. For example, 1% decrease in stratospheric ozone is expected to yield a 2-3% increase in UV-B irradiance and in the incidence of skin cancer. (omitted)

In contrast to the $\pi$ -conjugated polymers which typically absorb light only in the visible spectral region, the $\sigma$-conjugated polymers can be used as efficient material absorbing light in the UV region. In this work, the electronic and optical properties of I$_2$-doped $\sigma$ -conjugated poly (methyl-phenylsilylene) (PMPSi) polymer were investigated. DC conductivity up to 1.2$\times$10$^{-4}$ S/cm was obtained by I$_2$-doping. In UV/Vis absorbance spectrum, a new peak was observed near 370 nm, which was explained by polaron model. The photoluminescence (PL) intensity decreased with increasing degree of I$_2$-doping, and the Infrared (IR) spectrum analysis revealed that the dopants are not directly coupled to the polymer, but effect motions of the methyl and phenyl groups.

ZnO thin films on (001) sapphire substrates have been deposited by pulsed laser deposition technique using a Nd:YAG laser with the wavelength of 355 nm. In order to investigate the effect of the deposition conditions on the properties of ZnO thin films at an oxygen pressure of 350 mTorr, the experiment has been Performed at various substrate temperatures in the range of 20$0^{\circ}C$ to $700^{\circ}C$. According to XRD, (002) textured ZnO films of high crystalline quality have been obtained and the intensity of UV emission was the highest at 40$0^{\circ}C$ substrate temperature.

A Y-branch phase modulator made of an electro-optic(EO) polymer has been designed and fabricated. An EO polymer, PMMA-DR1, is used for the core layer, and UV-curable polymers, UV-15 and UV-15 LV, for the cladding layers. The rib type polymeric waveguides are fabricated by the reactive ion etching method and their EO effects are obtained by the poling process. The optical properties of the fabricated phase modulator are as follows: the halfwave voltage, $V_{\pi}$, is 25 V, the insertion loss of TM mode is 13.8 dB, and the intensity modulation is 0.17 % (V).

CF & $CF_2$ radicals in a $C_4F_8$ inductively coupled plasma were observed with laser induced fluorescence. 251.9nm UV laser was used for the $CF_2$ excitation and 265.3nm UV emitted light for the detection which has the maximum intensity among many induced fluorescence lights. In the case of CF radical detection, 232.9nm UV laser was used for the excitation and 247.6nm for the detection. $CF_2$ radical density increased toward substrate, while CF radical had its maximum at about 10nm away from the substrate. The atomic fluorine density which was studied by the actinometry increased as the position moves away from the substrate. This phenomena was thought to have a close relation with the polymer growth on the wafer. When the bias voltage increased, $CF_2$ , CF radicals decreased while the atomic fluorine increased tio some extent and then decreased, which was thought to be due to the change in the ionization and dissociation.

In this study, the microsphere silicone polymer beads were synthesized by UV irradiation and alkoxy hydrolysis. The coefficient of variation (CV) of microsphere silicone polymer beads were decreased with increasing UV intensity, reaction time. The mean particle diameter, refractive index, and pH value were $4.1{\mu}m$, 1.43 and 7.5, respectively. Also, the true and bulk specific gravity, moisture content were 1.30, and 0.40, below 2%. The mean particle diameter and CV were the lowest at 0.1 wt% hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS) and their roundnesses were $0.95{\sim}0.98{\mu}m$ values. The particle dispersion index of microsphere silicone polymer beads was 4.92 at 450 W, 90 min and the yield was increased to 11.3% at 20 wt% methyltrimethoxysilane (MTMS). The mean particle diameter was decreased with increasing the stirring rate and reaction temperature.

$Eu^{2+}$-doped ${SrAl_2}{O_4}$ and $Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$ co-doped ${SrAl_2}{O_4}$ phosphors have been synthesized by conventional solid state method. Photocurrent properties of $Eu^{2+}$ doped ${SrAl_2}{O_4}$ and $Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$ co-doped ${SrAl_2}{O_4}$ phosphors, in order to elucidate $Dy^{3+}$ co-doping effect, during and after ceasing ultraviolet-ray (UV) irradiation have been investigated. The photocurrent of $Eu^{2+}$, $Dy^{3+}$ co-doped ${SrAl_2}{O_4}$ phosphors during UV irradiation was 4-times lower than that of $Eu^{2+}$-doped ${SrAl_2}{O_4}$ during UV irradiation, and 7-times higher than that of $Eu^{2+}$-doped ${SrAl_2}{O_4}$ after ceasing UV irradiation. The photocurrent results indicated that holes of charge carriers captured in hole trapping center during the UV irradiation and liberated after-glow process, and made clear that $Dy^{3+}$ of co-dopant acted as a hole trap. The photocurrent of ${SrAl_2}{O_4}$ showed a good proportional relationship to UV intensity in the range of $1{\sim}5mW/cm^2$, and $Eu^{2+}$-doped ${SrAl_2}{O_4}$ was confirmed to be a possible UV sensor.

This study investigates the metal adsorption properties of poly (lactic acid)-g-acrylic acid (PLA-g- AAc) synthesized by UV irradiation method. The properties including degree of grafting, water content, and ion exchange capacity (IC) strongly depend on the critical experimental factors such as UV intensity and AAc concentration. Under the optimized condition, the maximum degree of grafting, the IC value, and water content are 28%, 1.13 meq/g, and 38%, respectively. The synthesized ion exchanger shows strong capacity of adsorption for divalent metal ions such as $Cu^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$, and $Co^{2+}$, and greater selectivity of adsorption for $Cu^{2+}$.

The reduction effect of UV-C irradiation and mild heat treatment was examined against Escherichia coli O157:H7 and Salmonella Typhimurium on black pepper powder. E. coli O157:H7 (ATCC 35150) and S. Typhimurium (ATCC 19585) were inoculated onto black pepper powder at approximately $10^7$ and $10^6CFU/g$, respectively. E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium were treated with UV-C and mild heat at $60^{\circ}C$. A UV-C intensity ($2.32W/cm^2$ ) was used for 10 min to 70 min at $60^{\circ}C$. After UV-C and heat treatment at $60^{\circ}C$, microbial analysis and color change of black pepper powder was conducted. E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium were reduced by a level of 1.89 and 2.24 log CFU/g, respectively, when treated with UV-C alone for 70 min. And E. coli O157:H7 and S. Typhimurium were reduced by 2.22 and 5.10 log CFU/g, respectively, when treated with mild heat treatment at $60^{\circ}C$ alone for 70 min. But when combined with UV-C and mild heat, it showed higher levels of reduction by 2.46 and 5.70 log CFU/g. S. Typhimurium was more easily reduced than E. coli O157:H7. Color values were not significantly (p > 0.05) different in all treated samples. Therefore, these results suggest that the combined treatment with UV-C and mild heat was effective to inactivate the food pathogens in black pepper powder and can be used as a food industrial microbial intervention method.

The synthesized phosphor showed a broad emission band at 658nm wavelength. Red light-emitting diodes(LEDs) were fabricated through the integration of on InGaN UV bare chip and a 1:3 ratio of $CaAl_{12}O_{19}:Mn^{4+}$ and epoxy resin in a single package. This coated LED can be applicable to make White LEDs under excitation energy of UV LED.
