Wound healing and antibacterial effects of solcoseryl-micronomicin combination gel on an open wound were studied in mice. A simple model was designed for assessing the effects. Using the model, we compared the efficacy of a combined topical gel of solcoseryl and micronomicin with those gels of solcoseryl or micronomicin alone. From the results of our experiment, the wound healing effect of open wounds by treatment with the combination gel was significantly enhanced when compared with those by treatment with solcoseryl gel or micronomicin gel alone. And the antibacterial effect of the combination gel was higher than those of solcoseryl gel or micronomicin gel alone.

In vitro biological activities of Aloe vera gel and skin extracts were evaluated. Total polyphenol contents of Aloe vera skin were measured 41.12 mg/g. DPPH radical scavenging activity of Aloe vera skin-70% EtOH extract, Aloe vera skin-water extract, Aloe vera gel-70% EtOH extract and Aloe vera gel-water extract were 55%, 38%, 11% and 10%, respectively. In addition, 70% EtOH extract and water extract were compared with respect to SOD-like antioxidant activity of Aloe vera-70% EtOH extract has higher activity than Aloe vera water extract. Tyrosinase inhibition rate of Aloe vera gel extract was higher than Aloe vera skin extract. Alcohol dehydrogenase (ADH) and Acetaldehyde dehydrogenase (ALDH) relative percentage activity of Aloe vera gel extract were 126% and 216%, respectively. It was suggested that Aloe vera gel and skin extracts could be used as a functional biomaterial for functional food and cosmetics.

Phenolic/furfural(P/F) gel microspheres were successfully produced by new supercritical $CO_2$-based process. $CO_2$-soluble poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) was used as the stabilizer in this system. Spherical morphology of the gel microspheres was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy. Particle size and particle size distribution of P/F gel microspheres can be modified by variety of the solids content and the stabilizer content. The resultant P/F gel microspheres have average particle size in the range of 1-6 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The structure of P/F gel microspheres was revealed by thermogravimetric analysis and IR analysis.

A method on the determination of Co(II) after adsorbing of Co(II) on 2-mercaptobenzothiazole-loaded silica gel was studied. The conditions on the separation of Co(II) such as pH of solution, the amount of 2-mercaptobenzothiazole, the flow rate for adsorption, and the desorption solvent were optimized to 9.0, 0.05 g, $10mL\;min^{-1}$ and 1 M $HNO_3$ in ethanol, respectively. Under these optimum conditions, the calibration curve of Co(II) was obtained over concentration range of $2{\sim}120ng\;mL^{-1}$. The detection limit was $0.6ng\;mL^{-1}$. Recovery yields of Co(II) in various natural water samples were more than 90%.

Co-Zn ferrite thin films grown on thermally oxidized silicon wafers were fabricated by a sol-gel method. Magnetic and structural properties of Co-Zn thin films were investigated by using x-ray diffractometer (XRD), atomic force microscopy (AFM), auger electron spectroscopy (AES) and a vibrating sample magnetometer (VSM). Co-Zn ferrite thin films annealed at 400 $^{\circ}C$ presented have only a single phase spinel structure without any preferred crystallite orientation. Their surface roughness of Co-Zn ferrite thin films was shown as less than 3 nm and the grain size was about 40 nm for annealing temperatures over 600 $^{\circ}C$. A moderate saturation magnetization of Co-Zn ferrite thin films for recording media was obtained in this study and there is no significant difference of their magnetic property with those external fields of parallel and perpendicular to planes of the films. The maximum value of the coercivity was obtained as 1,900 Oe for Co-Zn ferrite thin film annealed at 600 $^{\circ}C$.

The properties of surimi gel from Olive flounder Paralichthys olivaceus were evaluated with addition of various food additives and by heating under different conditions. The optimum heating conditions for get good textured surimi gel from Olive flounder was 40 minutes at $85^{\circ}C$. Optimum texture characteristics such as hardness, cohesiveness, chewiness, gumminess and gel strength of olive flounder fish paste can be acquired by washing the paste 2 times and by adding sodium chloride (2.5%), sodium polyphosphate (0.3%) and starch (4%), respectively. Furthermore, we compared gel texture characteristics and strength of manufactured Olive flounder fish surimi with commercial Alaska pollack to determine their commercial applicability. Texture characteristics and gel strength of Olive flounder surimi were higher than those of the commercial Alaska pollack surimi. In addition, both lightness and whiteness were higher in surimi gel from Olive flounder than from the commercial Alaska pollack.

The influence of carrageenan addition on the gelatinization of salt-based surimi gels was investigated by measuring compressive properties and Hunter color scale values. Hydrocolloid kappa (${\kappa}$)-carrageenan at 0%, 0.2%, and 1.0% and NaCl (2% w/w), KCl (1.5% w/w), and a mixture of NaCl (2% w/w) and KCl (1.5% w/w), were added to Alaska pollock surimi. Gel compressive properties were assessed by measuring the breaking force and gel strength. The gelling property of ${\kappa}$-carrageenan-induced surimi gel was significantly increased by the incorporation of KCl rather than NaCl. The addition of ${\kappa}$-carrageenan increased the breaking force and gel strength of surimi gels. Gels with 1% ${\kappa}$-carrageenan and KCl had the highest breaking force and gel strength. The addition of ${\kappa}$-carrageenan caused an increase in the whiteness values of the surimi gels.

The catalytic performances for CO preferential oxidation in hydrogen-rich fuels were investigated by varying the types of alumina supports, additives excluding platinum, and synthetic methods of impregnation and sol-gel synthesis. The reactions were conducted in the range of $25{\sim}300^{\circ}C$ over Pt, Co, and/or Na impregnated catalysts supported on commercial gamma-alumina, pseudoboehmite, or sol-gel derived xerogels. Catalytic activities were enhanced by cobalt addition due to strong Pt-Co interactions in the bimetallic phase. Additional sodium promoted not only the formation of the Pt-Co bimetallic interphase but also oxygen adsorption capability, giving rise to increase in the CO oxidation rate at lower temperatures. Moreover, chemical interaction between Pt and Co was considerably enhanced by sol-gel synthesis.

We studied the effect of sol-gel processing and sintering temperature on the microwave properties of $MgCo_2(VO_4)_2$ system(MCV) which is applicable to LTCC(low-temperature cofired ceramics). The MCV was synthesized by sol-gel process using solution that contains precursor molecules for Mg, Co, and V. SEM analysis shows that the average particle size is ${\sim}1{\mu}m$ and size distribution is very uniform compared to the one prepared by conventional solid-state reaction process. Highly dense samples were obtained at the sintering temperature range of $750^{\circ}C{\sim}930^{\circ}C$. The maximum $Q{\times}f_0$ value of 55,700GHz, dielectric constant(${\varepsilon}_r$) of 10.41 and temperature coefficient(${\tau}_f$) of $-85ppm/^{\circ}C$ was obtained at the sintering temperature of $930^{\circ}C$. The superior microwave properties of sol-gel processed MCV relative to conventional solid-state reaction processed one is remarkable especially at lower sintering temperatures such as $750^{\circ}C$ and $800^{\circ}C$.
