Association of cytochrome c with anionic membranes involved both electrostatic and hydrophobic interactions and their relative contributions depended on the physical state of the membrane and the redox state of cyto-chromec.Hydrophobic interaction was favored by the membranes in gel phase, by the membranes with a large curvature, and by the membranes with a high surface charge density. Ferrocytochrome c was less dissociable by NaCl than ferricytochrome c suggesting that a lower protein stability is beneficial for hydrophobic interac-tion.Hydrophobic interaction induced larger structural perturbations on cytochrome c as monitored by the loss of the Fe-Met bond and by the increase in the distance between heme and Trp-59. When bound to anionic mem-branes,spin-labeled cytochrome c showed an electron paramagnetic resonance spectrum with two or more components, providing a direct evidence for multiple conformations of bound cytochrome c.

In recent years, the study of self-assembly peptide used in drug delivery system has been attracted great interest from scientists. In the category are self-assembly peptides in the structure either with one hydrophobic surface and another hydrophilic or a hydrophobic head and a hydrophilic tail. Here, we focus on a novel designed peptide EYK with double amphiphilic surfaces, investigating on the capability of peptide as a carrier for hydrophobic compound model pyrene. The fluorescence data presented the dynamic process of the transfer, showing that the pyrene was in the crystalline form in peptide solution, and molecularly migrated from its peptide encapsulations into the membrane bilayers when the peptide-pyrene suspension was mixed with liposome vesicles. The results indicated that the peptide EYK could stabilize hydrophobic pyrene in aqueous solution and delivered it into EPC liposome as a potential carrier.

Solvent-casting 공정을 통해서 제조되는 전형적인 Proton Exchange Membrane (PEM)과는 달리, 일종의 Bulk-Molding Compounds (BMC) Process와 유사한 공정을 사용하여서 실리카 나노 입자들이 나노 크기로 분산된 PEM을 제조하였다. 즉, 반응성 분산제인 Urethane Acrylate Nonionomer (UAN)와 Styrene, Styrene Sulfonic Acid (NaSS), 실리카 나노입자를 Dimethyl Sulfoxide (DMSO) 단일 용매에 혼합시키고 라디칼 개시제 존재 하에서 Mold내에서 공중합을 수행하면, 표면 특성이 각기 다른 실리카 나노 입자들이 나노 크기로 분산된 Poly(urethane acrylate-styrene-styrene sulfonic acid) random copolymer Membrane 즉 일종의 실리카/고분자 Nanocomposite Membrane이 제조될 수 있었다. 실리카 나노 입자들의 Membrane에서의 분산성은 TEM을 이용하여서 확인할 수 있었다. 제조된 Membrane은 분산된 실리카 나노입자들의 표면 특성에 따라서 각기 다른 수팽윤도 및 수소이온전도도 변화 거동을 나타내었다. Membrane에 친수성 실리카 나노 입자들이 분산된 경우에는, Membrane의 수팽윤도가 다소 증가되었지만 거의 일정한 수소 이온 전도도를 나타내었다. 그러나 Membrane의 메탄올 투과도는 상대적으로 크게 감소되었다. 반면에 Membrane에 분산된 소수성 실리카 나노 입자들이 분산된 경우에는, 수팽윤도는 크게 감소되었지만 수소 이온전도도는 거의 변화하지 않았다. 즉 소수성 실리카 나노입자들은 소수성 도메인에 분산되어서 친수성 도메인이 팽윤되는 것을 억제시키지만 수소 이온전도성에는 영향을 미치지 않기 때문이다. 따라서 membrane의 수팽윤도와 수소이온전도성을 실리카 나노 입자들의 표면 특성을 이용하여서 자유로이 조절이 가능하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 흥미로운 것은 실리카 나노 입자를 membrane에 분산시키는 것만으로도 수소 이온 전도성을 유지시키면서 수팽윤도를 현저하게 저하시킬 수 있다는 것이다.

The FAS(Fluoroalkylsilane)/Nafion inorganic-organic composite electrolyte membrane was successfully fabricated through sol-gel method. The FAS having hydrophobic functional group and silanol ligands is impregnated in $Nafion^{(R)}$ membrane to reduce methanol crossover. The prepared FAS/Nafion inorganic-organic composite electrolyte membrane consist of the hydrophobic FAS-derived silicate nano-particles and $Nafion^{(R)}$ matrix showed decrease of methanol crossover and reduction of humidity dependence without large sacrifice of proton conductivity. The microstructural analysis of the composite membranes was performed using FESEM and FTIR. And the effect of the incorporation of the hydrophobic FAS-derived silicate nano-particles into $Nafion^{(R)}$ membrane was investigated via solvent uptake, membrane expansion rate, humidity dependency of proton conductivity and contact angle measurement.

Membrane distillation (MD) has emerged as a sustainable desalination technology to solve the water and energy problems faced by the modern society. In particular, the surface wetting properties of the membrane have been recognized as a key parameter to determine the performance of the MD system. In this study, a novel surface modification technique was developed to induce a Janus-type hydrophilic/hydrophobic layer on the membrane surface. The hydrophilic layer was created on a porous PVDF membrane by vapor phase polymerization of the pyrrole monomer, forming a thin coating of polypyrrole on the membrane walls. A rigid polymeric coating layer was created without compromising the membrane porosity. The hydrophilic coating was then followed by the in-situ growth of siloxane nanoparticles, where the condensation of organosilane provided quick loading of hydrophobic layers on the membrane surface. The composite layers of dual coatings allowed systematic control of the surface wettability of porous membranes. By the virtue of the photothermal property of the hydrophilic polypyrrole layer, the desalination performance of the coated membrane was tested in a solar MD system. The wetting properties of the dual-layer were further evaluated in a direct-contact MD module, exploring the potential of the Janus membrane structure for effective and low-energy desalination.

Pure silicalite membranes were prepared on porous sintered stainless steel and aluinina supports. The silicalite membrane showed the high alcohol permselectivity, indicating no existence of cracks within the membrane. The high alcohol permselectivity is attributable to the high hydrophobic character of silicalite.

Ethyl esters (aroma model compounds; ethyl acetate, ethyl propionate, ethyl butyrate) 수용액으로부터 aroma 화합물의 회수를 위해, 표면 개질한 알루미나막을 이용하여 증기 투과를 수행하였다. Ethyl butyrate의 구동력이 가장 큼에도 불구하고, 투과부에서 ethyl ester의 농도는 ethyl butyrate가 가장 높았으며, ethyl propionate, acetate의 순서로 나타났다. 또한, 물에 대한 ester 화합물의 용해도가 상당히 낮기 때문에 투과부에서 상분리가 일어나 순수한 aroma 화합물을 얻을 수 있었다. 실험 결과, 제조된 소수성 알루미나막은 에스테르 화합물에 대해 높은 선택도와 투과 플럭스를 보여 주었다.

In this study, to improve the water flux of porous hydrophobic membranes, various water-soluble polymers including neutral, cationic and anionic polymers were adsorbed using 'salting-out' method. The adsorbed hydrophobic membrane surfaces were characterized mainly via the measurements of contact angles and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) images. To enhance the durability of the modified membranes, the water-soluble polymers such poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) were crosslinked with glutaraldehyde (GA) and found to be resistant for more than 2 months in vigorously stirred water. The water flux was much more increased when the ionic polymers used as the coating materials rather than the neutral polymer and in this case, about 70% of $0.31L/m^2{\cdot}h$ (LMH) to 0.50 LMH was increased when 300 mg/L of polyacrylamide (PAAm) was used as the coating agents. Among the cationic coating polymers such as poly(styrene sulfonic acid-co-maleic acid) (PSSA_MA), poly(acrylic acid-comaleic acid) (PAM) and poly(acrylic acid) (PAA), PSSA_MA was found to be the best in terms of contact angle and water flux. In the case of PSSA_MA, the water flux was enhanced about 80%. The low concentration of the coating solution was better to hydrophilize while the high concentration inclined to block the pores on the membrane surfaces. The best coating condition was found: (1) coating concentration 150 to 300 mg/L, (2) ionic strength 0.15, (3) coating time 20 min.
