In the present work, we present a new effective hydrophilicity modifier for polysulfone (PSf) membrane. Firstly, amphiphilic nanocellulose (ANC) with different substitution degrees (SD) was synthesized by esterification reaction with nanocellulose (NC) and dodecyl succinic anhydride (DDSA). The SD and morphology of ANC were characterized by titration method and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Then, the polysulfone (PSf)/ANC blend membranes were prepared via an immersion phase inversion method. The influence of SD on the morphology, structure and performances of PSf/ANC blend membrane were carefully investigated by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), scanning electron microscope (SEM), mechanical property test, contact angle measuring instrument and filtration experiment. The results showed that the mechanical property, hydrophilicity and anti-fouling property of all the PSf/ANC blend membranes were higher than those of pure PSf membrane and PSf/NC membrane, and the membrane properties were increased with the increasing of SD values. As ANC-4 has the highest SD value, PSf/ANC-4 membrane exhibited the optimal membrane properties. In conclusion, the prepared ANC can be used as an additive to improve the hydrophilicity and anti-fouling properties of polysulfone (PSf) membrane.

Nanofiltration of aqueous dye solutions was carried out using polyamide (PA) nanofiltration (NF) composite membranes. The PA composite membranes were prepared by the interfacial polymerization of piperazine (PIP) and trimesoyl chloride (TMC) on the surface of microporous polysulfone (PSf) ultrafi1tration (UF) membranes. After characterization in terms of their permeation performance and surface ionic property, they were used for the separation of dye solutions such as Direct Red 75, 80, 81, and Direct Yellow 8 and 27. The separation conditions were varied to study the factors affecting on the permeation performance of the membranes: different concentrations of dye solutions, operating temperature and time, and flow rate of a feed solution. The surface property of the membrane, especially its ionic property, as a function of operating time was examined with a zeta-potentiometer and the relationship between the surface chemistry of the membrane and its permeation properties was also studied.

비노출형 도막방수재 도포 후 누름콘크리트 타설 시기에 따른 도막방수재의 물리적 특성과 바탕면 조건, 도막두께 및 보강포 사용유무에 따른 내피로성을 검토하였는데, 누름콘크리트 타설 시기가 짧을수록 변색이 심하였고, 도막두께가 두꺼운 반면 인장성능이 낮았다. 내피로 성능은 3 mm의 도막두께에서는 파단되지 않았으나 1, 2 mm는 모두 파단 되었고 부직포로 보강한 경우의 내피로성능이 상대적으로 우수한 것으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 플렉시블 전기변색 소자(ECD)에 적용하기 위한 고분자 전해질 멤브레인의 최적 설계 조건을 도출하고자 하였다. 전해질 멤브레인의 제조를 위한 기저 고분자로 접착력 및 투명도가 우수한 polyvinyl butyral (PVB)을 선정하였으며 가소제로는 adipate계 고분자를 사용하였다. 실험결과, ECD 성능에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 인자는 전해질 멤브레인의 이온 전도도 및 투과도임을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 상기 인자는 리튬염의 해리 특성과 밀접한 관계를 갖고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 종합적으로 다양한 리튬염 중 음이온의 크기가 큰 LiTFSI 염이 25 wt.% 정도의 함량으로 용해될 때 최적의 ECD 성능을 확인할 수 있었다.

This study was conducted to investigate the effect of dietary supplementation of vitamin A on the membrane property and ultrastructure in ethanol-administered rat livers. Male Sprague-Dawley rats weighing of 130 ~150g were fed with experimental diets for 7 weeks. The diets contained different types of vitamin A which were $\beta$-carotene, retinyl acetate and retinoic acid. After feeding theexperimental diets for 7 weeks, a dose of 3.0g ethanol (30%, W/V)/kg B.W was injected to rats intraperitoneally. Control rats received 0.9% saline containing isocaloric sucrose instead of ethanol. Plasma membrane fluidity of liver decreased in rats fed with vitamin a -Deficient diet with ethanol as compared to that of control rats. Fluidity change of liver plasma membrane that ethanol had induced was influenced by dietary supplementation of vitamin A, but not influenced by the type of supplemented vitamin. A . The ultrastructural changed of hepatic mitrochondria were observed in some rats such as vitamin A-deficient rats with ethanol. Inadequate consumptionof vitamin A contributed to ultrastructural changes such as swelled mitochondria occurred by ethanol-induced hepatotoxicity. Although accurate mechanism involved in the plasma membrane-stabilizing effect of vitamin A is still unclear, dietary supplementation of vitamin A such as retinyl acetate is neede to modulate this change. The direct involvement of membrane property on the cell damage caused by ethanol treatment remains to be established.

The fusion between viral envelope and target cell membrane is a central step of viral infection, and the fusion proteins located at viral envelope mediate such process. Gp41 of HIV is one of the fusion proteins whose structure and mechanism of membrane fusion had been extensively studied. Functionally important motives of gp41 are the N-terminus fusion peptide, the coiled-coil and the membrane proximal C-peptide regions. The role of these regions during the fusion process had been thoroughly examined. Specially, insertion of the fusion peptide into membrane and conformational change of the coiled-coil and C-peptide regions are assumed to be critical for the fusion mechanism. In addition, the coiled-coil region has been shown to interact with membrane, and the C-peptide region regulates the interaction in a dose dependent manner. Furthermore, fusion defective mutations of the coiled-coil region dramatically changed its binding affinity to membrane. These results suggested that the membrane binding property of the coiled-coil region is important for the fusion activity of gp41, and such property could be modulated by the interaction with the C-peptide region.

In membrane processes, various agents are used to enhance, protect, and recover membrane performance. Applying these agents in membrane modification could potentially be considered as a simple method to improve membrane performance without additional process. Citric acid (CI) and sodium bisulfite (SB) are two chemicals that are widely used in membrane feed water pretreatment and cleaning processes. In this work, preadsorptions of CI and SB were developed as simple methods for polysulfone ultrafiltration membrane modification. It was found that hydrogen bonding and Van Der Waals attraction could be responsible for the adsorptions of CI and SB onto membranes, respectively. After modification with CI or SB, the membrane surfaces became more hydrophilic. Membrane permeability improved when modified by SB while decreased a little when modified by CI. The modified membranes had an increase in PEG and BSA rejections and better antifouling properties with higher flux recovery ratios during filtration of a complex pharmaceutical wastewater. Moreover, membrane chlorine tolerance was elevated after modification with either agent, as shown by the mechanical property measurements.

Polyvinyl chloride (PVC) ultrafiltration (UF) membrane was modified by silica sol in the coagulation bath during non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) process. The effects of silica sol concentrations on the morphology, surface property, mechanical strength and separation property of PVC UF membranes were systematically investigated. PVC membranes were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS), scanning electron microscopy (SEM), contact angle goniometry and tensile strength measurement. The results showed that silica had been successfully assembled on the surface of PVC UF membrane. With the increase of silica sol concentration in the coagulation bath, the morphologies of PVC UF membranes changed from cavity structure to finger-like pore structure and asymmetric cross-section structure. The hydrophilicity and permeability of PVC UF membranes were further evaluated. When silica sol concentration was 20 wt.%, the modified PVC membrane exhibited the highest hydrophilicity with a static contact angle of $36.5^{\circ}$ and permeability of $91.8(L{\cdot}m^{-2}{\cdot}h^{-1})$. The structure of self-assemble silica had significant impact on the surface property, morphology, mechanical strength and resultant separation performance of the PVC membranes.
