Organic aerosols dispersed in the atmosphere likely undergo phase separation. Such internally mixed particles are often described as comprising an organic phase and an aqueous phase separately. We studied the morphology of two liquid separated aerosols in the sub-microscale by using a simple thermodynamic model with Russian doll geometry. The morphology of particles can be easily predicted from the simple criteria on the surface tension and two algebraic equations (the volume constraint and Young equation). This result may give the potential explanation about the complex morphology of the organic airborne particles.

Enantiomer separation of N-fluorenylmethoxycarbonyl (FMOC) $\alpha$-amino acid was performed on covalently immobilized chiral column (Chiralpak IB) based on polysaccharide derivative as a chiral selector by reversed phase liquid chromatography. The effect of the reversed mobile phase on the chromatographic parameters of the enantioselectivities, resolution factors and retention times using covalently immobilized Chiralpak IB was shown. Also the enantiomer separation of N-FMOC $\alpha$-amino acid in the reversed and normal phase was compared and the results obtained in the former mobile phase were generally lower than those in the latter mobile phase.

Enantiomeric separation of free amino acids has been achieved by a reversed phase liquid chromatography with addition of a Cu(Ⅱ) complex of N-alkyl-L-proline (alkyl: propyl, pentyl or octyl) to the mobile phase. The amino acids eluted were detected by a postcolumn OPA system. N-alkyl-L-proline was prepared and used as a chiral ligand of Cu(Ⅱ) chelate for the enantiomeric separation. The concentration of the Cu(Ⅱ) chelate, the organic modifier and pH affect the enantiomeric separation of free amino acids. The retention behaviour, varied with change in pH and the concentration of the Cu(Ⅱ) chelate, was different compared with those of the derivatized amino acids. The elution orders between D- and L-forms were consistent except histidine showing that L-forms elute earlier than D-forms. The retention mechanism for the enantiomeric separation can be illustrated by the stereospecificity of the ligand exchange reaction and the hydrophobic interaction between the substituent of amino acids and reversed phase, $C_18$.

As an effective separation method for biomolecules, aqueous two-phase systems based on ionic liquids were suggested. Hydrophobic ionic liquids are more expensive and viscous in spite of their usage in the ionic liquid/water biphasic extraction compared with hydrophilic ionic liquids. In case of aqueous two-phase systems using hydrophilic ionic liquids, they can be diluted in aqueous phase. Experimental results show that aqueous two phase systems can be formed by adding appropriate amount of ionic liquids to aqueous salts solutions. The viscosity of ionic liquid aqueous phase is proportional to the cation chain length in ionic liquids. It is founded that the ionic liquid based aqueous two phase systems are effective for the separation of biomolecules such as acrylic acid.

Due to their periodic helical structure, cholesteric liquid crystals (CLC) have a unique ability to selectively reflect light. CLC films reflecting a broad wavelength band were prepared by inducing a pitch gradient in CLC layer through a phase separation. The reflection bandwidth of the CLC cell was broaden as irradiation light intensity decreased and as the amount of the UV absorbing dye increased. Initial reflection bandwidth of 50 nm was broaden to 300 nm Various pitch distributions in the CLC cell was observed using SEM and ATR-IR technique was used to prove that the pitch distributions are induced through the phase separation.

In the chemical industry, in the pharmaceutical industry, and in a number of other industries separation processes are necessary to separate and purify products and raw materials [1,2]. Separation processes are also widely used in other applications such as in recycling valuable materials from waste streams. Unit operations for separation processes can be classified in phase separation techniques and component separation techniques based on the nature of the feed mixtures to be separated. The former techniques are used for the separation of heterogeneous mixtures, in which the feed is already present in two or more separated phases on a micro-scale. The latter are suitable for the separation of homogeneous mixtures such as gaseous mixtures and mixtures of completely miscible liquids. tn these cases the separation into individual components is generally achieved by utilizing the differences in physico-chemical properties of components, and is much more difficult compared to phase separation techniques. Separation processes such as distillation, evaporation, liquid-liquid extraction, and crystallization belong to this class.

We demonstrated stability-enhanced liquid crystal (LC) displays using pixel-isolated LC mode in which LC molecules are isolated in pixel by horizontal polymer layer and vertical polymer wall. The device shows good electro-optic properties against external point or bending pressure due to the polymer structures. The polymer wall acts as supporting structure from mechanical pressure and prevents the cell gap from bending. Moreover, the polymer layer acts as an adhesive to ensure a tight attachment of the two substrates. We present herein various methods for producing polymer structures by using an anisotropic phase separation from LC and polymer composites or patterned micro-structures for stable flexible liquid crystal displays.

Nuclear bodies are subnuclear, spheroidal, and membraneless compartments that concentrate specific proteins and/or RNAs. They serve as sites of biogenesis, storage, and sequestration of specific RNAs, proteins, or ribonucleoprotein complexes. Recent studies reveal that a subset of nuclear bodies in various eukaryotic organisms is constructed using architectural long noncoding RNAs (arcRNAs). Here, we describe the unifying mechanistic principles of the construction and function of these bodies, especially focusing on liquid-liquid phase separation induced by architectural molecules that form multiple weakly adhesive interactions. We also discuss three possible advantages of using arcRNAs rather than architectural proteins to build the bodies: position-specificity, rapidity, and economy in sequestering nucleic acid-binding proteins. Moreover, we introduce two recently devised methods to discover novel arcRNA-constructed bodies; one that focuses on the RNase-sensitivity of these bodies, and another that focuses on "semi-extractability" of arcRNAs.

The unique feature of pervaporation is the mass transfer from a liquid phase to a vapor phase through a non-porous polymeric membrane. When a liquid mixture is brought into contact with a membrane at one side, it is sorbed into the membrane. Due to a driving force applied across the membrane, the sotbed liquid molecules permeate through the membrane and evaporate at the downstream side of the membrane. In pervaporation the permeated species are usually removed from the downstream side under a relatively low vapor pressure, for example by evacuation with a vacuum pump. As far as this condition is fulfilled, the evaporation step can be considered to be much faster than sorption or diffusion. Hence evaporation does not contribute to permselectivity. Therefore the separation by pervaporation results from the differences in the preferential sorption of the individual components of a mixture into the membrane together with the diffusion rates through the membrane. This postulation implies that both sorption and diffusion phenomena have to be accounted for to understand the physico-chemical nature of the pervaporation separation process.

The same kind of chiral stationary phase with a commercialized chiral column was used to make preparative chiral columns and was applied to resolve racemic N-acetyl-1-naphthylethylamide (3) by preparative liquid chromatography. An improved chromatographic condition to resolve racemic 3 on the CSP was examined by changing flow rate and kind of the mobile phase and the sample injection volume. The optimized separation conditions were applied to resolve racemic 1,1'-Binaphthyl-2,2'-diamine(4).
