Today, commercialized Hinoki cypress cubes are used for fragrance, humidification, and pillows in Korea. In this study, the sound absorption ability of Hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa) cubes was examined. The three groups of Hinoki cypress cubes were prepared depending on their dimension (L: 9 × 9 × 9, M: 7 × 7 × 7, S: 4 × 4 × 4 mm). Their sound absorption coefficient was examined after filling 6, 8, 10, and 12 cm height in impedance tubes, respectively. Overall, the sound absorption ability depending on dimension was superior in the M group compared to the L and S groups. Also, as the filling height increased, the sound absorption capacity increased. In sum, noise reduction coefficients (NRC) of all Hinoki cypress cubes were 0.41-0.59. Thus, this research found that Hinoki cypress cubes have a sound-absorbing function.

The effects of catalysts addition on the pyrolysis reaction of biomass have been studied in a thermogravimetric analyzer (TGA). The sample biomasses were Bamboo, Pine and Hinoki. The catalysts tested were K, Zn, Cu metal compounds. The pyrolysis reactions were tested in the nonisothermal condition from the room temperature to $550^{\circ}C$ at a heating rate $50^{\circ}C/min$ on the flowing of $N_2$ purge gases. Cellulose contents of Bamboo was higher than that of Pine and Hinoki. As the results, the pyrolysis reaction of volatile matter was finished near the temperature $450^{\circ}C$. The initial decomposition temperatures of the volatile matters ($T_i$) were $165^{\circ}C$ for Bamboo, $190^{\circ}C$ for Pine, and $193^{\circ}C$ for Hinoki. $T_i$ decreased with increasing the catalyst amounts in the sample biomasses. The temperature of maximum reaction rate ($T_{max}$) were $338^{\circ}C$ for Bamboo, $378^{\circ}C$ for Pine, and $377^{\circ}C$ for Hinoki. The effects of catalysts addition on the $T_{max}$ were to decreased it. The reducing effects about $T_{max}$ was the most effective for K metal compounds catalyst. The char amounts remained after pyrolysis at $550^{\circ}C$ were 26.2% for Bamboo, 20.7% for Pine, and 20.9% for Hinoki. The char amounts increased with the catalyst amounts.

In this study, eco-friendly functional leather was developed by recycling wastes such as eel skin, marigold(Tagetas erecta l.), hinoki cypress(Chamaecyparis obtusa). The hot water extracts of marigold and hinoki cypress leaves were freeze-dried at $-80^{\circ}C$ to prepare colorant powder. The dyeing of eel leather with marigold was carried out to investigate the effects of dyeing conditions, mordanting on dye uptake, color, morphological change, and color fastness. Considering shrinkage of eel leather caused by dyeing, the optimum dyeing conditions were $60^{\circ}C$ of dyeing temperature and 60 min of dyeing time at 1:100 of bath ratio, and color of the dyed eel leather was Y to YR Munsell series. In order to prevent the degradation of leather from microbe, we conducted combination dyeing with marigold and hinoki cypress leave colorants. In this case, the combination dyed eel leathers showed excellent antimicrobial activity with above 99% bacterial reduction rate against S. aurieus and K. pneumoniae. It was confirmed that all of the dyed eel leathers were sufficient to meet the Korean Standard for color fastness of leather products. It can be applied practically for the development of eco-friendly functional leather by utilizing some useful active components extracted from plant resources and by recycling food wastes.

The avoidance of the allergen of the house dust mite is one of the challenges to reduce and treat the symptoms of allergic diseases. Accordingly, various acaricidal agents are being used to kill the mite, but just killing it leaves the remains of it, which still act as the allergen. Therefore expelling the mite is thought as best policy to avoid the mite allergen. For this, some materials have been applied to repellent agents against the mite. Among them, a material with natural origin, known as the phytoncide, is being used for its repellent activity, as well as for its benefits for health. In this experiment, essential oils extracted from Korean white pine (Pinus koreaiensis S. et Z.) and hinoki cypress (Chamaecyparis obtusa), which are widely used as the source of phytoncide products, are studied for demonstration of the repellent effect against the house dust mites, Dermatophagoides farinae and D. pteronyssinus. Direct contact method was used to evaluate the repellent effect (%). And the results suggest the oils have a significant effect enough to be used as a source of repellent agent. For the repellent effect, the most effective concentration was $0.5{\mu}l/cm^2$ at 45 minutes both in the white pine and the hinoki oil.

바이오필름은 부유 미생물이 피부 표면에 부착되어 형성된 미생물 집락이며 형질적 생화학적 특성에서 부유상태와는 차이가 있다. 바이오필름으로 증식하는 미생물은 부유 상태의 미생물 보다 숙주의 방어나 항생제에 대한 저항성이 훨씬 높기 때문에 바이오필름이 형성되면 감염 상태를 치료하기 위해 더욱 많은 항생제를 사용해야 한다. 따라서 감염된 세균의 내성을 피하면서 치료를 하기 위해서는 단순히 세균을 사멸하는 것이 아니라 표적을 달리하는 새로운 전략이 필요하다. 이번 연구에서는 아토피 등 염증성 피부 질환의 원인균의 S. aureus의 바이오필름을 억제하는 기작에 초점을 맞추어 연구를 진행하였다. 이 연구의 목적은 S. aureus의 바이오필름의 형성을 억제하여 피부질환을 조절할수 있는 후보 물질을 찾는 데에 있다. 슬라이드글라스를 human placental 콜라겐으로 코팅고 시험 물질과 함께 배양하여 억제된 바이오필름의 양을 crystal violet 염색법으로 측정하여 정량적으로 측정하였다. 이 실험에서는 표준균인 S. aureus ATCC 6538 strain이 사용되었다. 실험 결과 편백다당체가 바이오필름의 형성을 강하게 억제하였으며 녹차다당체와 황촉규근은 오히려 바이오필름의 형성을 촉진하였다. 자일리톨은 1 %의 낮은 농도에서는 바이오필름을 촉진하나 그 이상의 높은 농도인 3 %와 5 %에서는 억제하여 농도 의존적인 결과를 보였다.

These days, beds have been developed not as furniture to sleep in but Healthcare Furniture. The function of heating, non-electronic-waves and far-infrared rays have been added. Also, eco-friendly materials such as stone, mud, rubber and wood are combined to them together with the radiation-heating method using heat conduction through electronic coil and hot water circulation. Modern people suffer from stress and fatigue. The hot issue is "health." Focused on the health, the development of design for beds considering the influence electronic waves, anions, deep sleep and the density of toxic materials have on human bodies has become urgent. In this study, the trend, specification and efficiency of the functional health-related electronic coil technology are analyzed. Through the analysis, the environmental standards are set. According to them, technology, eco-friendly materials and additional functions for the development of the design are considered. Also, the government is promoting the IEC international standardization for the Korean traditional floor heating style beds. In preparation for that, we adopted new HPT method technology. It enables non-electronic-waves, low electricity and stable temperature maintenance control for the warm top and the cool bottom. Also, the head boards and the frames of the beds can be separated. Through this separation, the beds can be easily moved or installed. Eco-friendly materials such as Hinoki cypress wood and red clay and the existing tables function are combined to the head boards so they can be used as drawers and display shelves. If they are used as separate items, they can be used as covers. This is how we suggest the design for the heating beds.

In this study, the moisture absorption and desorption properties presented by the Health-Friendly Housing Construction Standards of South Korea were compared using the wood of three tree species (Douglas-fir, Hinoki, Larch) and two types of wood-based materials(Plywood, WML Board^Ⓡ). The national standards for functional building materials present that the amounts of moisture absorption and desorption should be at least 65g/㎡ on average, respectively according to the test method under KS F 2611:2009. Therefore, in this study, the moisture absorption/desorption properties of materials with no treatment (Control), with punching, and with surface stain finishing and the moisture absorption/desorption property improvement effects of the treatments were compared and analyzed. According to the results of this study, it was evaluated that all five types of wood and wood-based materials tested did not satisfy the amount of moisture absorption/desorption of at least 65g/㎡, which is the performance standard for moisture absorption/desorption functional building materials, indicating that untreated wood and wood-based materials cannot be applied as functional finishing materials according to the Health-Friendly Housing Construction Standards. The surface stain finishing greatly reduced the moisture absorption and desorption rates of the materials, and the amounts of moisture absorbed and desorbed were also shown to decrease by at least two times on average. When the surfaces of the materials were punched with Ø4mm holes at intervals of 20 mm, the moisture absorption/desorption areas increased from 18% to 51%, and this increase was shown to be capable of increasing the amounts of moisture absorbed/desorbed by 29% on average at the minimum, and 81% on average at the maximum. The effects of punching were shown to be identical even in cases where the materials were stain finished. For the application of wood or wood-based materials as eco-friendly, health-friendly, and moisture absorption/desorption functional building materials hereafter, it is judged that new physical and chemical improvement studies should be conducted, and treatment methods should be developed.
