  • A bacterial strain C-02 using methanol as a carbon source was isolated from Gumi Industrial Estate and selected based on its rapid growth and capability of poly-$\beta$-hydroxybutyrate accumulation. Characteristics of strain C-02 showed that it belongs to the Methylococcaceae family, Type II subgroup. Strain C-02 could incorporate valerate into the PHB chain to form 3-hydroxybutyrate and 3-hydroxyvalerate (P(3HB-co-3HV)). Among various nutrient limitation tests, the nitrogen limitation test resulted in the highest content of P(3HB-co-3HV) per dry cell weight, 50$%$. Under the nitrogen limited condition, the average molecular weight of P(3HB-co-3HV) obtained was determined to be approximately $2.8\times 10^5$ daltons.

  • A glycolipid type of biosurfactants was obtained from a strain which had been isolated from soil. The cell was identified as Pseudomonas aeruginosa from taxonomic characteristics and was designated as YPJ80. Thin layer chromatography and deoxyhexose detection tests were done to verify the type of biosurfactant. Critical micelle concentration (CMC) of the surfactant was observed to be 50 ppm and the minimum surface tension was 30.1 mN/m. As an emulsifier, YPJ80 biosurfactant was superior to emulsan in the emulsification of crude Arabian light oil.

  • A simple preparation method on creating superhydrophobic surface using non-aligned carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was demonstrated. Superhydrophobic CNT thin films were prepared by doping a sonicated mixture of CNTs and chloroform onto a glass slide. Water contact angles of the CNT thin films were measured using a contact angle goniometer. The thin films were characterized using laser microscope and scanning electron microscope. Experimental results revealed that the highest average contact angle of $162{\pm}2^{\circ}$ was achieved when the films' thickness was $1.628{\mu}m$. The superhydrophobic surface was stable as the contact angle only receded from $162{\pm}2$ to $157{\pm}2^{\circ}$ after 10 min under normal atmospheric condition.

  • In this work, we have modeled and fabricated microcavity-enhanced OLED using the 1-dimensional distributed Bragg reflector model (DBR). Results show that simulated spectrum intensity of microcavity OLED increased more than 30% compared to the conventional OLED, by use of DBR with $TiO_2$ and $SiO_2$. Spectral change of green and blue emission was expected to give the deeper color. The experimental design and characterization as well as the matching with simulated properties were performed for microcavity OLED for actual application.

  • Well defined amphiphilic diblock copolymers of poly(styrene-b-vinylbenzylphosphonic acid) (PS-b-PVBPA) were prepared by controlled radical polymerization technique, two-step hydrolysis reactions using trime-thylsilyl bromide from the corresponding phosphonic ethyl ester. By indirect, backward pH titration of the block copolymer, a good titration curve of a dibasic acid was observed. The IEC values obtained from both backward pH titration and volumetric back titration were almost identical. Thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) of the phosphonic acid containing block copolymer showed a high thermal stability up to $400^{\circ}C$.

  • Uniform cylinder-shaped precursors for (Y,Gd)$BO_3$:Eu phosphors were prepared by urea hydrolysis reaction. After heating the precursors at lower temperature than general synthetic methods, the phosphor powders were well dispersed and held their original shapes. Their emissions under vacuum-ultraviolet (VUV) excitation appeared with the peaks at 593nm due to magnetic dipole transition from $^5D_0$ to $^7F_1$, 612nm and 627nm due to electric dipole transition from $^5D_0$ to $^7F_2$

  • A series of new oligomers were synthesized by Grignard reaction, the Suzuki coupling reaction, etc. The oligomers showed excellent TFT performance with mobilities higher than $0.5\;cm^2V^{-1}S^{-1}$ and on/off ratios higher than 5 $x10^5$. Their electronic and optical properties were investigated using many analysis methods, such as X-ray diffraction (XRD), UV-vis and photoluminescence spectroscopies.
