폴리머 분산 액정의 전기광학 스위칭 특성에 대한 액정 방울 크기의 효과를 실험적으로 연구하였다. 액정 방울의 크기는 상 분리를 위해 조사하는 레이저 광원의 세기와 LC/oligomer의 혼합 비율에 따라 변화되었다. 전기 광학적 스위칭 전압은 LC/oligomer의 혼합비율과 액정의 방울 크기에 크게 의존하였다. 실험 결과를 보면 상 분리용 조사 레이저광의 세기가 클 때 액정방울의 크기는 작아졌고 포화투과도 전압은 상승했지만 rise time은 짧아 졌다.

A novel method was developed for the speciation of chromium in natural water samples based on homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction and determination by flame atomic absorption spectrometry (FAAS). In this method, Cr(III) reacts with a new Schiff's base ligand to form the hydrophobic complex, which is subsequently entrapped in the sediment phase, whereas Cr(VI) remained in aqueous phase. The Cr(VI) assay is based on its reduction to Cr(III) by the addition of sodium sulfite to the sample solution. Thus, separation of Cr(III) and Cr(VI) could be realized. Homogeneous liquid-liquid extraction based on the pH-independent phase-separation process was investigated using a ternary solvent system (water-tetrabutylammonium ion ($TBA^+$)-chloroform) for the preconcentration of chromium. The phase separation phenomenon occurred by an ion-pair formation of TBA and perchlorate ion. Then sedimented phase was separated using a $100\;{\mu}L$ micro-syringe and diluted to 1.0 mL with ethanol. The sample was introduced into the flame by conventional aspiration. After the optimization of complexation and extraction conditions such as pH = 9.5, [ligand] = $1.0{\times}10^{-4}\;M$, [$TBA^+$] = $2.0{\times}10^{-2}\;M$, [$CHCl_3$] = $100.0\;{\mu}L$ and [$ClO_4$] = $2.0{\times}10{-2}\;M$, a preconcentration factor (Va/Vs) of 100 was obtained for only 10 mL of the sample. The relative standard deviation was 2.8% (n = 10). The limit of detection was sufficiently low and lie at ppb level. The proposed method was applied for the extraction and determination of chromium in natural water samples with satisfactory results.

다공성 고분자 분리막을 제조하는 방법으로 기존의 용매교환법을 대신하여 내용매성, 내약품성 및 내열성이 매우 뛰어난 고분자를 소재로하여 다공성 고분자막을 만드는 열유도 상분리법(Thermally Induced Phase Separation, TIPS)이 개발되었다. TIPS공정에서는 주로 고분자/희석제 system의 열역학적인 불안정성에 의하여 polymer-rich phase와 polymer-lean phase로 상이 분리되는 liquid-liquid phase separation과 결정성 고분자의 결정화에 의한 solid-liquid phase separation을 주로 상분리 mechanism으로 사용하고 있다. 따라서 위에 언급된 TIPS 이론에 근거한 melt spinning 공정에 의하여 PP 중공사막을 제조하였는데 wet spinning 공정에 의한 용매 교환법에 비해 비교적 공정이 단순하고 다공도를 조건하기가 용이하며 구조 및 성능면에서도 높은 재현성을 가지고 있다. 또한 우수한 소재임에도 불구하고 절절한 용매의 부재로 용매교환법에서 사용할 수 없었던 폴리올레핀계, 나일론계, 방향족출합계 고분자를 사용할 수 있게 되어 소재의 폭이 넓어졌다는데에 가장 큰 장점이 있다. 본 연구에서는 PP중공사막을 제조하기 위하여 먼저 용융 방사장치를 제작하였고 melt spinning 공정에 의해 막을 제조하는데 적합한 방사조건들을 확립한 후 결정된 방사조건에 의해 얻어진 PP 중공사막의 구조 및 성능에 영향을 미치는 인자들에 관하여 조사하였다.

Biomolecular phase separation has recently attracted broad interest, due to its role in the spatiotemporal compartmentalization of living cells. It governs the formation, regulation, and dissociation of biomolecular condensates, which play multiple roles in vivo, from activating specific biochemical reactions to organizing chromatin. Interestingly, biomolecular phase separation seems to be a mainly passive process, which can be explained by relatively simple physical principles and reproduced in vitro with a minimal set of components. This Mini review focuses on our current understanding of the fundamental principles of biomolecular phase separation and the recent progress in the research on this topic.

In this paper, we report the fabrication of high quality polymer walls by using a monomer containing fluorine (F-monomer). Polymer walls with no phase retardation were fabricated by using photo-polymerization induced anisotropic phase separation of the mixture composed of liquid crystal (LC) and F-monomer. Thanks to the immiscibility of fluoride, we could form high quality polymer walls with no light leakage. We measured electro-optic characteristics of a twisted-nematic (TN) LC cell whose polymer walls were fabricated by using the F-monomer, and the measurements were compared with that fabricated by using the monomer without fluorine.

The separation and concentration of L-phenylalanine (L-Phe) using a supported liquid membrane (SLM) is investigated. A cation complex agent, di-2-ethylhexyl phosphoric acid (D2EHPA), is used as a carrier in the SLM with n-Heptane as a solvent. The reaction order and equilibrium constant in the formation reaction of L-phe-carrier complex are obtained from the extraction experiment. A mathematical model for a carrier mediated counter transport process is proposed to estimate the diffusion coefficient of L-phe-carrier complexly in the liquid membrant. Permeation experiments of L-phe using a SLM are performed under various operating conditions and optimum conditions for the transport of L-phe are obtained. Concentration of L-phe in the strip phase against its concentration is observed. Transport rate of glucose through liquid membrane is less than that of L-phe in the competitive transport of L-phe and glucose. And the existence of glucose reduced the transport rate of L-phe. The performance of separation with continuous strip phase is increased due to the dilution effect in the strip phase.

A coupled column liquid chromatography system was applied for the separation of the burnup monitors in spent nuclear fuel sample solutions. A reversed phase column was studied for the adsorption behavior of uranyl ions using alpha-hydroxyisobutyric acid as an eluent and used for the separation of plutonium and uranium. A cation exchange column prepared by coating 1-eicosylsulfate onto the reversed phase column was used for the separation of the lanthanides. In addition, retention of Np was checked with the reversed phase column and cation exchange column, respectively, according to the oxidation states to observe the interference effect for the separation of burnup monitors. This chromatography system showed a great reduction in separation time compared to a conventional anion exchange method. A good agreement from the burnup data was obtained between for this method and a conventional anion exchange method to within 1% of a difference for the spent nuclear fuel samples of about 40 GWD/MTU.

유기 붕산계 화합물과 4차 암모늄염의 혼합물을 추출제로 사용하여 에멀젼형 액막법에 의한 과당과 포도당의 분리가 회분식 반응기에서 이루어졌다. 당 분리를 위해 적합한 추출제와 최적의 실험조건을 찾기 위하여 각 당에 대하여 독립적으로 추출 실험이 수행되었다. 원료상의 당 농도, 붕산계 화합물 종류와 w/o 비와 같은 여러 변수들이 과당과 포도당 분리에 미치는 영향이 조사되었으며, 이때 원료상과 회수상에서의 최종 당 농도가 분석되었다. 원료상에서의 과당/포도당 추출률 비는 매우 높았지만, 회수상에서의 당 농도는 높지 않았다. 상업적인 당 분리를 위한 에멀젼형 액막 시스템 개발을 위해 보다 회수상으로 과당의 역추출을 강하게 추진할 수 있는 염을 찾는 것이 요구되었다.

Supported Liquid Membranes (SLMs) have been widely studied as feasible alternative to traditional processes for separation and purification of various chemicals both from aqueous and organic matrices. This technique offers various advantages like active transport, possibility to use expensive extractants, high selectivity, low energy requirements and minimization of chemical additives. SLMs are not yet used at large scale in industrial applications, because of the low stability. In the present paper, after a brief overview of the state of the art of SLM technology the facilitated transport mechanisms of SLM based separation is described, also introducing the small and the big carrousel models, which are employed for transport modeling. The main operating parameters (selectivity, flux and permeability) are introduced. The problems related to system stabilization are also discussed, giving particular attention to the influence of membrane materials (solid membrane support and organic liquid membrane (LM) phase). Various approaches proposed in literature to enhance SLM stability are also reviewed. Modification of the solid membrane support, creating an additional layer on membrane surface, which acts as a barrier to LM phase loss, increases system stability, but the membrane permeability, and then the flux, decrease. Stagnant Sandwich Liquid Membrane (SSwLM), an implementation of the SLM system, results in both high flux and stability compared to SLM. Finally, possible large scale applications of SLMs are also reviewed, evidencing that if the LM separation process is opportunely carried out (no production of byproducts), it can be considered as a green process.
