Various studies have been conducted to improve silica dispersion of silica filled tire tread compounds; among them, silica wet masterbatch (WMB) technology is known to be suitable for manufacturing silica filled compounds that have high silica content and high dispersibility. Till now, the WMB study is focused on the natural rubber (NR) or emulsion styrene-butadiene rubber (ESBR) that does not have a silica-affinity functional group, and a study of NR or ESBR having a silica-affinity functional group is still not well known. Unlike the dry masterbatch technology, the WMB technology can solve the problems associated with the high Mooney viscosity when applied to silica-friendly rubber. However, a coagulant suitable for each functional group has not yet been determined. Therefore, in this study, different coagulant applied silica WMB was prepared by applying calcium chloride, sulfuric acid, acetic acid, and propionic acid by using a carboxyl group functionalized reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer ESBR. The evaluation of the WMB compounds revealed that the calcium chloride added WMB compound showed excellent silica dispersion, abrasion resistance, and rolling resistance.

Rat brain succinic semialdehyde dehydrogenase (EC 1.2.1.24 SSADH) activity was detected in mitochondrial, cytosolic and microsomal fractions. Brain mitochondrial soluble SSADH was purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE Sephacel, and 5'-AMP Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography. The purified enzyme was shown to consist of four identical subunits, and the molecular weight of a subunit was 55 kD. The $K_m$ for short chain aliphatic aldehydes and aromatic aldehydes were at the $10^{-3}M$ level but that for succinic semialdehyde was 2.2 ${\mu}M$. Either $NAD^+$ or $NADP^+$ can be used as a cofactor but the affinity for $NAD^+$ was 10 times higher than that for $NADP^+$. The brain cytosolic SSADH was also purified by ammonium sulfate precipitation, DEAE Sephacel, Blue Sepharose CL-6B and 5'-AMP Sepharose 4B affinity chromatography and its Km for short chain aliphatic aldehydes was at the $10^{-3}$ level but that for succinic semialdehyde was 3.3 ${\mu}M$. $NAD^+$ can be used as a cofactor for this enzyme. We suppose that both enzyme might participate in the oxidation of succinic semialdehyde, which is produced during GABA metabolism. The activity of both cytosolic and mitochondrial SSADH was markedly inhibited when the concentration of succinic semialdehyde was high. The reciprocal plot pattern of product inhibition and initial velocity indicated a sequential ordered mechanism for mitochondrial matrix SSADH. Chemical modification data suggested that amino acid residues such as cysteine, serine and lysine might participate in the SSADH reaction.

메틸셀루로스를 호스트고분자로 하고 copper(II) percolate를 산화제로 사용하여 기상상태에서 직접중합방법으로 전도성 복합필름을 합성하였다. 필름으로서 우수한 성형성과 기계강도를 갖고 있는 메틸셀루로즈는 PVA와 키토산과는 달리 피롤에 대하여 높은 친화성을 나타내어서 기상중합시 호스트고분자로 적합하였다. 기상중합법으로 합성된 폴리피롤은 복합재료 내에서 전도성네트워크를 형성하여 전도성 복합필름의 전기전도도는 $10^{-1}-10^{-7}S/cm$를 나타내었다. 피롤이 호스트고분자 내에서의 폴리피롤로 중합이 되는 정도를 UV-vis분광계로 확인하였다. 전도성 복합필름의 전기전도도와 기계강도는 산화제의 농도와 합성시간에 크게 의존하였다. TGA분석결과는 호스트고분자 내에 형성된 폴리피롤은 복합재료의 열적 안정성에 영향을 미치지 않는다. 전자현미경 분석결과 폴리피롤이 복합재료 내에 균일하게 침투하여 분산되어 있음을 나타내었다. DMA를 사용하여 폴리피롤과 호스트고분자와의 상용성을 조사하였으며 dynamic mechanical analysis(DMA) 분석결과 복합재료 내에서 폴리피롤의 함량이 증가되면서 상용성이 점진적으로 저하되었다.

본 연구에서는 재활용이 가능하며 열가소성 특성을 지닌 신규 고분자 수지를 개발하고 합성하였다. 이렇게 개발된 수지와 판상형 질화붕소(h-BN) 사이의 계면 친화성이 좋음을 계산과학을 통하여 확인하고 열압기(hot press)를 이용하여 복합소재를 제조하였다. 고분자 수지와 필러 사이의 계면 친화성과 함께 복합소재 제조시 발생되는 전단력(shear force) 만으로도 매우 높은 필러 정렬도를 지닌 복합소재를 제조할 수 있었고, 이러한 이유로 복합소재는 최대 13.8 W/mK의 높은 열전도도를 갖는 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 개발된 수지가 화학적으로 분해 가능한 장점을 이용하여 제조된 복합소재로부터 물리/화학적 변성 없이 필러를 회수할 수 있었고 이렇게 회수된 필러는 향후 다양한 신규 복합소재 제조에 재활용이 가능하다.

In this paper, an electrochemical sensor for epinephrine (EP), a neurotransmitter was developed by anchoring molecularly imprinted polymeric matrix (MIP) on the surface of gold-coated quartz crystal electrode of electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) using starch nanoparticles (Starch NP) - reduced graphene oxide (RGO) nanocomposite as polymeric format for the first time. Use of EP in therapeutic treatment requires proper dose and route of administration. Proper follow-up of neurological disorders and timely diagnosis of them has been found to depend on EP level. The MIP sensor was developed by electrodeposition of starch NP-RGO composite on EQCM electrode in presence of template EP. As the imprinted sites are located on the surface, high specific surface area enables good accessibility and high binding affinity to template molecule. Differential pulse voltammetry (DPV) and piezoelectrogravimmetry were used for monitoring binding/release, rebinding of template to imprinted cavities. MIP-coated EQCM electrode were characterized by contact angle measurements, AFM images, piezoelectric responses including viscoelasticity of imprinted films, and other voltammetric measurements including direct (DPV) and indirect (using a redox probe) measurements. Selectivity was assessed by imprinting factor (IF) as high as 3.26 (DPV) and 3.88 (EQCM). Sensor was rigorously checked for selectivity in presence of other structurally close analogues, real matrix (blood plasma), reproducibility, repeatability, etc. Under optimized conditions, the EQCM-MIP sensor showed linear dynamic ranges ($1-10{\mu}M$). The limit of detection 40 ppb (DPV) and 290 ppb (EQCM) was achieved without any cross reactivity and matrix effect indicating high sensitivity and selectivity for EP. Hence, an eco-friendly MIP-sensor with high sensitivity and good selectivity was fabricated which could be applied in "real" matrices in a facile manner.

Poly-Iysine이 tagging된 hEGF와 angiogenin(6L10ESA)의 융합단백질의 고체상 재접힘이 heparin-Sepharose colullln에서 수행되었을 때, untagging 단백질(E5h)의 기존의 액상 재접힘 방법과 비교하여 재접힘 수율은 약 13배 정도 증가하였다. 게다가 poly-Iysine tagging된angiogenin은 heparin에 친화도를 높여주므로 2.5배에서 3배 정도의 흡탁 수율이 증가한다. 재접힘 수율은 고체상 반응으로 인해 높은 재현성을 보였다. 재접힘 공정시간은 대략 8배 단축되었다. 고체상 재전힘된 단백질은 자신의 생물학적 역가를 유지하였다. 따라서 이 연구는 고체상 재접힘 방법이 분자간의 상호작용을 억제하여 응집현상을 현저히 줄였기 때문에 기인한 결과로 생각된다. 따라서 응집으로 인한 재접힘 수율이 낮은 단백질의 재접힘 긍정에 고체상 재접힘 공정을 사용하면 높은 재접힘 수율을 얻을 수 있다.

The Gelatinases (typeIV collagenases) are metalloproteinases that may play an important role in tumor invasion and metastasis. Progelatinase A was purified from a conditioned medium of T98G human glioblastoma cells. TIMP-2 complexed progelatinase A and free progelatinase A were separated by heparin affinity HPLC. The final product was homogeneous on SDS-PAGE, with a molecular weight of 64,000 daltons without reduction. TIMP-2 and free progelatinase A were separated from TIMP-2 complexed progelatinase A by reverse-phase HPLC in the presence of trifluoroacetic acid. TIMP-2 complexed progelatinase A was resistant to activation by p-aminophenyl mercuric acetate (APMA), and showed less than 20% of the activity of the TIMP-2 free active enzyme. TIMP-2 free progelatinase A was easily activated to the mature form with a molecular weight of 57,000 daltons by APMA and showed high activity compared to the TIMP-2 complexed enzyme.

The structural analysis of polytrimethylene terephthalate (PTT) and characterization of the hydrolytic degradation products after acid hydrolysis were performed using MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry. Mass spectra of the PTT samples were analyzed using a self-calibration method as well as an internal calibration method with standard materials of known masses. PTT structures constituting the samples were determined from the analyses of the spectra, and their relative compositions were estimated. The MALDI-TOF mass spectra of the acid-hydrolyzed PTT sample showed three main series of oligomer products with different end groups in accordance with the hydrolysis schemes. From the spectra of both $Na^+$ and $K^+$ adducts, it was concluded that the PTT samples have higher affinity for $Na^+$ compared with $K^+$ and therefore show higher ionization efficiency with sodium ions when dithranol is used as a matrix. Two different wavelength laser beams ($\lambda$ = 337 nm and 355 nm) were tested and it was observed that the 355 nm beam was more efficient in obtaining the MALDI spectra of PTT using dithranol as a matrix under our experimental conditions.

In order to develop a new line injection system for spin draw yarn (FD SDY) fibers, the effect of various parameters in extrusion and melt line conditions on the dispersion and distribution of $TiO_2$ particles within FD PET fibers was investigated. As a result, the dispersibility of $TiO_2$ particles in a PET matrix is found to depend on the particle size and its surface characteristics. Surface modification of $TiO_2$ by dimethyl polysiloxane resulted in the improved dispersibility and affinity of $TiO_2$ particles in the PET matrix. Especially, residence time, mixing temperature, and mixing shear rate in the new line injection system under the SDY spinning process were very important parameters to minimize the agglomeration of $TiO_2$ particles. The FD SDY prepared by the new line injection system was superior to those using the polymerization process and the conventional masterbatch chip dosing process in the color-L and color-b values of the fibers.

본 연구에서는 CBM의 1차 생산뿐 아니라 $CO_2$나 $N_2$ 주입을 통한 ECBM, 혹은 지중저장을 목적으로 석탄층에 $CO_2$를 주입할 때 발생할 수 있는 암체의 부피변화 영향을 고려하여 기존의 Langmuir 흡착 관계식을 개선하였다. 본 모델의 검증을 위해 $CO_2$나 $CH_4$, $N_2$의 단일성분 흡착실험 데이터에 기존 Langmuir 모델값과 본 모델의 결과값을 비교하였다. 그 결과, 기존 모델에서는 흡착용량이 큰 석탄일수록, 흡착친화도가 큰 가스일수록 실험값과 모델값 사이의 오차가 커지는 경향이 나타났지만 본 모델에서는 모든 조건에서 실험결과를 잘 묘사하였고 본 모델을 통해 예측한 부피변형률 역시 실험값과 유사함을 확인하였다. 이렇게 개선된 단일성분 흡착모델을 혼합가스의 흡착모델인 IAS 모델에 적용하여 부피변화가 고려된 IAS모델로 개선하였다. 그 결과 혼합가스에 대한 흡착거동 역시 기존 모델에 비해 정확도를 높였고 이는 Hall 등(1994)이 수행한 혼합가스의 흡착실험결과와의 매칭을 통해 확인하였다.
