The possibility of collision of two particles slowly settling one after another in water can be described using the collision efficiency factor in differential sedimentation (${\alpha}_{DS}$). ${\alpha}_{DS}$ was found to be a function of several parameters particle size, particle size ratio, Hamaker constant, density of liquid and particle, gravity acceleration. Previous researches were limited to the case when there is no electric repulsion assuming that the suspension is destabilized. In this paper, ${\alpha}_{DS}$ is calculated for the stabilized condition. The relative trajectory of two particles are calculated including hydrodynamics, attraction and repulsion forces. Ionic strength and surface potential significantly affect the collision possibility of two settling particles. Depending on the surface potential and ionic strength, ${\alpha}_{DS}$ value is divided into three regions; stable, unstable and transition zone. ${\alpha}_{DS}$ increases as the ionic strength increases, and as the surface charge decreases. This result can be used to model both destabilized and stabilized suspension incorporating the collision efficiency factors of the other coagulant mechanisms such as fluid shear and Browian motion.

Actomyosin and myofibril were extracted from Korean native Goat muscle with the Weber-Edsall solution. ATPase activities and physiochemical properties were measured. The results obtained were as follows; 1) Mg-activitied ATPase activity of actomyosin and myofibrill from Korean native Goat muscle exhibited a common biphasic response, a typical ATPase pattern, that is high at a low ionic strength and low at a high ionic strength. Actomyosin showed high activity than myofibrill. 2) Mg-activited ATPase activity of actomyosin from muscle increased extraction time 24 hours. 3) EDTA-enhanced ATPase activity of actomyosin was greater than myofibrill and low at the low ionic strength, high at the high ionic strength. The difference of the activity were shown great broad pattern at the after 0.3M KCI concentration. 4) Effect of EGTA on-ATPase activity of myofibrill and actomyosin from muscle was measured, the Mg-ATPase activity was markedly depressed. 5) Solubility of actomyosin from muscle began to solubilize at KCI concentration of 0.28M and solubilized completely at the KCI concentration of 0.3M.

A new porous separator based on poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC)/poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-hexafluoro-propylene) (P(VdF-co-HFP)/poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) was prepared by a phase inversion method. To enhance mechanical property, the membrane was stretched uniaxially at high temperature. Tensile strength and ionic conductivity were measured for various draw ratios. The tensile strength and ionic conductivity were increased with increasing draw ratio. The tensile strength of the separator reached 52MPa after stretching to draw ratio of 5, and the ionic conductivity of the separator was increased from $1.9Xs10^{-4}S/cm\;to\;4.6X10^{-4}S/cm\;at\;25^{\circ}C$. The stretched separator immersed in liquid electrolyte was electrochemically stable up to 4.7 V. The cell based on the stretched separator was maintained at about 99% of the initial discharge capacity after 10th cycle operation at 0.2C rate.

Effect of interfacial electrical conditions on adhesion of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particles to PET fabric and the removal of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particles from PET fabric, were investigated as functions of pH, electrolyte and ionic strength. The ${\zeta}$ potential of PET fiber and ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particles in the electrolyte solution were measured by streaming potential and microelectrophoresis methods respectively. The potential energy of interaction between ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particles and PET fabric were calculated by using the heterocoagulation theory for a sphere-plate model. The negative ${\zeta}$ potential of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particle and PET fiber increased with pH, and then decreased certain pH and isoelectric points of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particles and PET fiber were pH 6.5 and pH 3.5, respectively. The negative ${\zeta}$ potential of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particle and PET fiber affected by electrolytes, were relatively high with polyanion electrolytes in solutions and were low with neutral salts. However, at surfactant solution, ${\zeta}$ potential was levelled off. The influence of the ionic strength on the ${\zeta}$ potential of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particle was small but the negative ${\zeta}$ potential of PET fiber increased with the ionic strength. In the presence of anionic surfactant, the ${\zeta}$ potential of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particle and PET fiber increased regardless of solution conditions. The interaction energy between ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ particle and PET fabric increased with pH. The interaction energy was relatively high with polyanion electrolytes in solution, and the influence of ionic strength on the interaction energy was small, and the effective thickness of electrical double layer increased with decreasing the ionic strength.

To investigate the protein binding characteristics of cephalothin, the effects of ionic strength, pH and temperature on the binding of cephalothin to bovine serum albumin (BSA) were studied by UV difference spectrophotometric method. With increasing ionic strength at constant PH and temperature, association constant decreased, but the number of binding sites sites was about 2 constantly. It may be deduced that the binding process is not only due to electrostatic forces. And the increased association constant at high ionic strength is explained by conformational changes of BSA from complex to subunits. The pH effect on the affinity of interaction indicated that the binding affinity of drug is higher in the neutral region than in the alkaline region. And, at high pH value, the number of binding sites decreased from 2 to 1 because of the conformational changes of BSA in alkaline region. The decrease in binding affinity of BSA to drug with increasing temperature was characteristic of an exothermic reaction. And the negative sign of ${\Delta}G^{\circ}$ meant that the binding process occurs spontaneously under the experimental conditions. In cephalothin-BSA complex formation, since the net enthalpy change value and entropy change value are positive, it is assumed that hydrophobic bindings are predominant in this binding process.

The europium sorption on Tamusu clay was investigated by batch sorption experiments and spectroscopic study under the condition of strong ionic strength. The results demonstrated that europium sorption on Tamusu clay increased rapidly with pH value, but decreased with the ionic strength of solution increased. The europium sorption also increased in the presence of humic acid, especially at low pH value. The sorption could be fitted by Freundlich isotherm model and the europium sorption on clay was spontaneous and endothermic reaction. Besides, the result indicates that ion exchange was the main process at low pH value, while inner-sphere surface complexation dominated the sorption process at high pH value. The Backscatter electron scanning/Energy Dispersive Spectrometer(BSE/EDS) and the effect of Na for europium sorption results further suggested that europium sorption on Tamusu clay mainly competed with Na at low pH value. Overall, the results in this research were of significance to understand the sorption behavior of europium on the geological media under high ionic strength.

The electrical resistivity of the ceramic glaze coated on ceramic substrate plays an important role on the characteristics of the thick and thin film electrical circuits. In this study the effects of the various modifiers on the electrical resistivity were examined in SiO2-Al2O3-B2O3-RO-Na2O (RO=CaO , SrO, BaO, PbO) glass system. In alkali free glasses where divalent cations are responsible for electrical conduction the electrical conductivity of th glasses increased with the ionic size of divalent cations due to the decrease in the bond strength between oxyben and divalent cation. In Na2O containing glasses however where Na+ ion is responsible for electrical conduction the ionic conductivity decreased with the ionic size of divalent cations because the blocking effect of the cations on Na+ ion movement increased with larger divalent cations. Na+ ionic conduction also depended on the glass structure relaxation due to the corrdination number changes of B2O3 and Al2O3 which varied with the NaO2 content in the glass.

The adsorption kinetics of ${\beta}$-casein on a hydrophobic surface has been studied by means of the quartz crystal microbalance (QCM). The self assembled monolayer of 1-octadecanethiol on a gold coated quartz crystal was used as a hydrophobic surface for adsorption. The adsorption kinetics was monitored in different solution conditions. Formation of monolayer is observed in most cases. At high concentration of protein, micelle formation which is interrupted by high ionic strength of solution is observed. Casein binding cations such as $Ca^{2+},\;Ba^{2+}\;and\;Al^{3+}$ increase the hydrophobicity of the protein and the multiple layer adsorption occurs. The strong and weak points of the QCM method in the study of protein adsorption are discussed.

To evaluate the feasibility of transmucosal delivery of methionine enkephalin analog, [$D-Ala^2$]-me-thionine enkephalinamide (YAGFM), the influence of pH, temperature, ionic strength and initial peptide concentration on the physicochemical stability of YAGFM in aqueous buffered solutions were investigated using a stability-indicating HPLC method. The degradation of YAGFM followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics. From the pH-rate profile, the maximum stability of YAGFM was shown to be at the pH of about 5.0. The halflife for the degradation of YAGFM was found to be 181.3 days at pH 5.0 and $37^{\circ}C.$ Arrhenius plots of the data obtained at 25~$45^{\circ}C$ were reasonably linear with a correlation coefficient greater than 0.99, and the activation energy was calculated to be 8.9 kcal/mole. A higher ionic strength and/or a higher peptide concentration in buffered solutions retarded the degradation of YAGFM.

A cationic demand(CD) is a very useful indication for determining the optimum dosage rate of retention aids to the papermaking stock at the wet end. Polyelectrolyte titration has been most often used to determine a CD. Highly accurate results can be obtained by this method when the ionic strength of sample is low. But this is accompanied by the serious errors when the ionic strength is higher than that corresponding to 20 milli molar(mM) monovalent, 2 mM divalent or 0.2 mM trivalent ions because of no occurrence of the end point of titration. Therefore, it is very difficult or almost impossible for the conventional method to be applied to the industrial suspensions such as papermaking stock and industrial waste water. Then a novel method using chromophoric labeled cationic polymer which can be applicable to the sample with high ionic strength has been developed.
