solvent-tolerant bacterium strain, MH6, was isolated by hydrophilic organic solvent DMSO enrichment in the medium and identified as Serratia marcescens. The extracellular protease with novel organic-solvent-stable properties from strain MH6 was purified and characterized. The molecular mass of the purified protease was estimated to be 52 kDa on SDS-PAGE. The open reading frame (ORF) of the MH6 protease encoded 504 amino acids with 471 amino acid residues in the mature protease. Based on the inhibitory effects of EDTA and 1,10-phenathroline, the MH6 protease was characterized as a metalloproteinase. The enzyme activity was increased in the presence of $Ni^{2+}$, $Mg^{2+}$, and $Ca^{2+}$. The protease could also be activated by the nonionic surfactants Tween 80 (1.0%) and Triton X-100 (1.0%). The protease showed remarkable solvent stability in the presence of 50% (v/v) solutions of long-chain alkanes and long-chain alcohols. It was also fairly stable in the presence of 25% solutions of hydrophilic organic solvents. Owing to its high stability in solvents and surfactants, the MH6 protease is an ideal candidate for applications in organic catalysis and other related fields.

A series of amphiphilic dendrons n-18 (n: generation number, 18: octadecyl chain) based on an aliphatic polyether denderitic core and octadecyl peripheries were synthesized using a convergent dendron synthesis consisting of a Williamson etherification and hydroboration/oxidation reactions. This study investigated their thermal and self-assembling behavior in the solid state using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), Fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) absorption spectroscopy, and small angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). DSC indicated that the melting transition and the corresponding heat of the fusion of the octadecyl chain decreased with each generation. FT-IR showed that the hydroxyl focal groups were hydrogen-bonded with one another in the solid state. DSC and FT-IR indicated microphase-separation between the hydrophilic dendritic cores and hydrophobic octadecyl peripheries. SAXS data analysis in the solid state suggested that the lower-generation dendrons 1-18 and 2-18 self-assemble into lamellar structures based upon a bilayered packing of octadecyl peripheries. In contrast, the analyzed data of higher-generation dendron 3-18 is consistent with 2-D oblique columnar structures, which presumably consist of elliptical cross sections. The data obtained could be rationalized by microphase-separation between the hydrophilic dendritic core and hydrophobic octadecyl peripheries, and the degree of interfacial curvature associated with dendron generation.

광합성계를 모방한 인공물의 광분해기에는 광증감제, 전자공여체 및 전자수용체가 필요하다. 광합성계에서는 Mn-tetramer가 물의 산화를 담당하는 종이라는 것이 알려져 있으니 Mn 화합물의 반응성을 아는 것이 중요하다. 이 Mn-tetramer의 모델이 될 수 있는 지용성 및 수용성 Mn(III) porphyrin을 새로이 합성하였다. 지용성 Mn(III) porphyrin은 porphyrin 자체에 금속화하는 방법과 porphyrin 고리 자체를 합성 할 때 긴 탄소사슬을 넣는 방법을 이용하였다. 지용성이나 수용성 Mn(III) Porphyrin은 계면에서 거동이 다를 것으로 생각되기 때문에 그 합성에 의의가 있다고 하겠다. 이 합성된 Mn(III) porphyrin 유도체들은 아민이나 알코올이 존재하는데서 광환원된다는 사실을 알게 되었다. 이 사실은 광증감제와 더불어 이중으로 여기시킬 수 있다는 점에서 큰 의의가 있다.

Waterborne polyurethane as a new polymer electrolyte was synthesized by using relatively hydrophilic polyols. The morphology of polyurethane was changed as it was dispersed in water. In contrast to polyurethane ionomer, waterborne polyurethane did not form an ionic cluster but produced a binary system composed of hydrophilic and hydrophobic groups. In the colloidal system, the former and the latter existed at outward and inward, respectively. Waterborne polyurethane was prepared from poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) /poly(propylene glycol) (PPG) copolymer, 4,4'-diphenylmethane diisocyanate(MDI), ethylene diamine as a chain extender, and three ionization agents, 1,3-propane sultone, sodium hydride and lithium hydroxide. PEG/PPG copolymer was used for suppressing the crystallinity of PEG and N-H bond was ionized for increasing the electrochemical stability of polyurethane. Low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) and poly(ethylene glycol dimethyl ether) (PEGDME) were used as plasticizers. DSC, FT-IR and $^1$H-NMR of the waterborne polyurethane were measured. Also, the ionic conductivity of solid polymer electrolytes based on waterborne polyurethane and various concentrations of low molecular weight poly(ethylene glycol) or PEGDME were measured by AC impedance.

본 연구에서는 알킬체인의 길이가 서로 다른 benzyltrialkylammonium chloride계 화합물을 합성하여 리포좀 제조에 응용하였다. 제조된 리포좀의 평균 입도분포, 제타전위, 방출거동 및 항균성을 조사하였으며, 사슬 길이에 따른 특성을 비교하였다. 리포좀의 평균 입도는 120~140 nm의 크기분포를 가졌으며 소수성 사슬의 길이가 증가할수록 큰 입자크기를 가졌다. 리포좀 용액의 제타전위는 양이온성 계면활성제인 benzyltrialkylammonium chloride를 첨가함에 따라 +80~90 mV의 값을 가지며 향상된 분산 안정성을 보였다. 방출거동에서는 사슬 길이에 따라 방출 속도를 조절할 수 있었으며 긴 사슬의 계면활성제를 첨가한 리포좀은 증가된 서방형 방출특성을 보였다. 또한, 리포좀의 포집효율은 25.9~27.5% 이었다.

층상구조의 폴리이미드 제조를 위해 다양한 곁가지 길이를 가지고 있는 두 종류의 디아민 단량체를 합성하였으며, 이를 이용하여 친수성 유연 곁가지와 친유성 유연 곁가지를 가지는 단일 중합 및 공중합 폴리이미드를 합성하였다. 강직한 주사슬의 충간은 유연한 곁가지로 인해 공간이 채워지게 되므로 곁가지의 길이가 특정 길이에 이르게 되면 주사슬과의 반발력으로 인하여 층상구조를 갖는 폴리이미드를 형성하게 된다. 친유성기를 도입한 단일중합체 폴리이미드의 경우 알킬곁가지의 길이가 증가함에 따라 층간거리가 $32.7\~48{\AA}$으로 증가하였고, 친수성기를 곁가지의 길이에 따라 도입한 경우에는 $7\~10.5{\AA}$으로 증가함을 X선 회절을 통해 확인하였다. 친유, 친수성기가 동시에 도입된 공중합체 폴리이미드의 경우에도 서로 다른 성질을 갖는 곁가지의 반발력에 의해 층상구조의 형성이 가능함을 알 수 있었다. 이를 분자모델링을 통한 이론적 구조계산과 비교해 본 결과, 유연한 곁가지의 길이에 따라 층간간격과 몰부피가 증가하는 층상구조의 폴리이미드 형성을 확인하였다.

Novel type surfactants containing two long-chain hydrophobic alkyl groups and two hydrophilic sulfonate groups were successfully synthesized by reactions of ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether with long-chain fatty alcohols, after then by reactions with 1,3-propane sultone and sodium hydride under THF solvent. All these compounds, so called Gemini surfactants, were purified by thin layer chromatography and column chromatography. Their structures were identified by FT-IR and $^{1}H$-NMR.

RAFT polymerization can produce under controlled conditions polymer chains incorporating well-defined chain ends. By designing a simple way of producing functional RAFT agents, a variety of ${\Box}-end$ groups was successfully introduced onto hydrophilic polymer chains. The ${\Box}-end$ group being a thiocarbonyl thio function was used as efficient chain transfer agent in dispersion or emulsion polymerization to produce original functional latex particles.

이산화탄소/프로필렌 옥사이드 공중합을 통하여 고분자 사슬 내에 친수성기와 소수성기가 공존하는 저분자량의 블록 공중 합체를 합성하였다. 고활성의 촉매를 사용한 이산화탄소/프로필렌 옥사이드 공중합 반응에 단말기로 -OH기를 갖는 폴리(에틸렌 글리콜)(PEG)을 분자량 조절제로 투입하여 블록 공중합체를 합성하였다. 단말기 한쪽 끝에만 -OH기를 갖는 폴리(에틸렌 글리콜)을 투입하였을 때는 PEG-block-PPC (폴리(프로필렌 카보네이트)) 다이블록 공중합체가 얻어지고, 단말기 양쪽 끝 모두 -OH기를 갖는 폴리(에틸렌 글리콜)을 투입하였을 때는 PPC-block-PEG-block-PPC 트리블록 공중합체가 얻어진다. 제조된 블록 공중합체는 $^1H$-NMR 스펙트럼을 통하여 구조 분석을 하였고 GPC를 통하여 분자량을 측정하였다.

Block copolymers consisting of poly(rbenzyl L-glutamate) (PBLG) as the hydrophobic part and poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) as the hydrophilic part were synthesized and characterized. Polymeric micelles of the block copolymers (abbreviated GEG) were prepared by a dialysis method. The GEG block copolymers were associated in water to form polymeric micelles, and the critical micelle concentration (CMC) values of the block copolymers decreased with increasing PBLG chain length in the block copolymers. Transmission electron microscopy (TEM) observations revealed polymeric micelles of spherical shapes. From dynamic light scattering (DLS) study, sizes of polymeric micelles of GEG-1, GEG-2, and GEG-3 copolymer were 106.5±59.2 nm, 79.4±46.0 nm, and 37.9±13.3 nm, respectively. The drug loading contents of GEG-1, GEG-2 and GEG-3 polymeric micelles were 12.6, 11.9, and 11.0 wt %, respectively. These results indicated that the drugloading contents were dependent on PBLG chain length in the copolymer; the longer the PBLG chain length, the more the drug-loading contents. Release of norfloxacin (NFX) from the nanoparticles was slower in higher loading contents of NFX than in lower loading contents due to the hydrophobic interaction between PBLG core and NFX.
