Many studies have been carried out on the graft finishing in order to improve the quality of silk fiber. Various vinyl monomers, for instance, styrene, methylmethacrylate, 2-hydroxyeth-ylmethacrylate and methacrylamide, have been used practically up to date. Among these monomers, methacrylamide has been applied as the most favourable monomer onto silk fibers in recent years. The polymerization mechanism about styrene- and methylmethacrylate-grafted silk fiber has been studied by many researchers. They proposed that free radicals were formed and vinyl monomers were polymerized in silk fibroin by graft polymerization mechanism, while active sites were varied by the types of monomer and initiator as well as by the reaction condition. In general. there is another Opinion that monomers are polymerized and impregnated in the internal side of the fiber by homopolymerization, which has not been proved experimentally yet More than 10 years have been passed since methacrylamide was applied on the silk fiber, and at the present time most finishings are being achieved by methacrylamide. However, no attention has been paid to the polymerization mechanism of the methacrylamide-treated silk fiber yeL In this paper, the treatments of methacrylamide on silk fibers were studied in aqueous solution using potassium persulfate as an initiator. The polymerization mechanism of the methacrylamide-treated silk fibers was investigated and analyzed on the basis of the results of infrared spectroscopy, amino acid analysis and scanning electron microscopy. From the results of these instrumental analyses, it can be suggested that polymerization mechanism about the methacrylamide-treated silk fibers is not performed by graft polymerization which has been accepted generally in styrene and methylmethacrylate-grafted silk fibers. The different mechanism is supposed to be due to the difference in monomer types, initiator types and treatment conditions.

Two different carbazolylnitrostilbene chromophores with second-order nonlinear optical (NLO) activity were newly synthesized by the reaction of 9-(2-hydroxyethyl)-9H-carbazol-3-carbaldehyde with 4-nitrophenylacetonitrile or 4-nitrophenylacetic acid. The NLO monomers were obtained by reaction of these chromophores with methacryloyl chloride. The side-chain nonlinear optical polymers were synthesized by the copolymerization of NLO monomer with methylmethacrylate using a free radical initiator. The chemical structures of the polymers were identified by spectroscopic means and the polymer properties such as molecular weight, Tg, solubility, UV-visible absorption, and second-harmonic generation (SHG) coefficients were investigated.

Adhesion and friction tests were carried out in order to investigate the effect of temperature on the tribological characteristics of poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) film using AFM. The pull-off and friction forces on the PMMA film were measured under a high vacuum condition (below $1{\times}10^{-4}$ Pa) as the temperature of the PMMA film was increased from 300 K to 420 K (heating) and decreased to 300K (cooling). Friction tests were also conducted in both high vacuum and air conditions at room temperature. When the temperature was 420 K, which is 25 K higher than the glass transition temperature $(T_g)$ of PMMA, the PMMA film surface became deformable. Subsequently, the pull-off force was proportional to the maximum applied load during the pull-off force measurement. In contrast, when the temperature was under 395 K, the pull-off force showed no correlation to the maximum applied load. The friction force began to increase when the temperature rose above 370 K, which is 25 K lower than the $T_g$ of PMMA, and rapidly increased at 420 K. Decrease of the PMMA film stiffness and plastic deformation of the PMMA film were observed at 420 K in force-displacement curves. After the heating to 420 K, the fiction coefficient was measured under the air condition at room temperature and was found to be lower than that measured before the heating. Additionally, the RMS roughness increased as a result of the heating.

Nanoparticle with antimicrobial property has been applied to various fields. This study added silver/platinum nanoparticles to HEMA (2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate), NVP (N-vinyl pyrrolidone) and MMA (methylmethacrylate) in various concentrations and copolymerized by heating at $70^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes, $80^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes, and finally, $100^{\circ}C$ for 40 minutes. The particle size of used nano silver and platinum was 10 ~ 20 nm respectively. Using the polymer produced through the copolymerization process, the authors have produced a contact lens and measured the physical characteristics which showed water content of 34.29 ~ 39.00%, refractive index of 1.422 ~ 1.430, visible transmittance of 78.8 ~ 92.5% and tensile strength of 0.149 ~ 0.179 kgf. The ophthalmic lens material produced using silver/platinum nanoparticles satisfied the basic physical properties required for contact lens application.

Three kinds of hydrogel membranes were prepared by the copolymerization of 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate (HEMA) with acrylamide, N, N-dimethylamide and methylmethacrylate in the presence of solvent and crosslinker respectively. The equilibrium water content, relative permeability and partition coefficient of the membranes for alcohol solutes were measured. It has been found that the permeation of organic solute occurs through the water-filled regions in the hydrogel membrane, and that the gpermeability coefficient of organic solute depends on the molecular size. But the permeability of organic solute was controlled by the interaction of solute-membrane at the low water content. By the partition data, it has been shown that the partition of solute is only controlled by hydrophobic interaction between solute and membrane. The diffusion coefficient data were interpreted on the basis of water-solute interaction. It has been found that the diffusion of organic solute is determined by the free volume of water in the membrane, and that hardly depends on polarity-polarizability and hydrogen bonding ability between water and solute.

Background The forehead, which occupies about one third of the face, is one of the major determinants of a feminine or masculine look. Various methods have been used for the augmentation of the forehead using autologous fat grafts or alloplastic materials. Methylmethacrylate (MMA) is the most appropriate material for augmentation of the forehead, and we have used an injection-molding technique with MMA to achieve satisfactory results. Methods Under local anesthesia with intravenous (IV) sedation, an incision was made on the scalp and a meticulous and delicate subperiosteal dissection was then performed. MMA monomers and polymers were mixed, the dough was injected into the space created, and manual molding was performed along with direct inspection. This surgery was indicated for patients who wanted to correct an unattractive appearance by forehead augmentation. Every patient in this study visited our clinics 3 months after surgery to evaluate the results. We judged the postoperative results in terms of re-operation rates caused by the dissatisfaction of the patients and complications. Results During a 13-year period, 516 patients underwent forehead augmentation with MMA. With the injection-molding technique, the inner surface of the MMA implant is positioned close to the underlying frontal bone, which minimizes the gap between the implant and bone. The borders of the implant should be tapered sufficiently until no longer palpable or visible. Only 28 patients (5.4%) underwent a re-operation due to an undesirable postoperative appearance. Conclusions The injection-molding technique using MMA is a simple, safe, and ideal method for the augmentation of the forehead.

유기물/무기물 나노 복합체를 이용하여 제작한 메모리 소자는 저전력 구동, 간단한 공정, 플렉서블한 성격과 같은 장점 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 다양한 유기물/무기물 나노 복합체를 이용한 비휘발성 메모리 소자에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되었으나, fullerene 계열의 [6,6]-phenyl-C85 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) 나노 입자와 poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA)의 나노 복합체를 사용하여 제작한 유기 쌍안정성 메모리 소자의 전기적 특성과 메커니즘에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 기억층으로 PMMA 박막 안에 분산되어 있는 PCBM 나노 입자를 트랩층으로 사용하는 메모리 소자를 제작하여 전기적 특성 및 안정성에 대하여 관찰하였다. 소자제작을 위하여 PCBM 나노 입자를 PMMA와 함께 용매인 클로로벤젠에 용해한 후에 초음파 교반기를 사용하여 두 물질을 고르게 섞었다. Indium-tin-oxide 가 코팅된 glass위에 PCBM 나노 입자와 PMMA가 섞인 나노 복합체를 스핀 방법으로 적층한 후, 열을 가해 클로로벤젠을 제거하여 PCBM 나노 입자가 PMMA 안에 분산되어 있는 전하 수송 층을 형성하였다. 형성된 전하수송 층 위에 열 증착 방식으로 상부 Al 전극을 형성하여 유기 쌍안정성 메모리 소자를 제작하였다. 제작된 소자의 전류-전압 (I-V) 측정 결과 특정 전하 수송 층의 두께에서는 큰 ON/OFF 전류 비율을 보여준다. PMMA만을 사용한 소자에서는 I-V 메모리 특성이 나타나지 않는 결과로부터 PCBM 나노 입자가 전하 수송 층 내에서 메모리 특성의 역할을 한다는 것을 보여준다. 전류-시간 (I-t) 측정 결과로 소자의 ON/OFF 전류 비율이 시간이 지남에 따라 큰 감쇠 없이 104 s까지 103값을 지속적으로 유지되어 메모리 소자의 안정성을 보여주었다. 실험의 결과로 PCBM이 포함된 메모리 소자의 메커니즘과 전하 수송 층의 두께에 따른 메모리 특성을 설명하였다.

유기물/무기물 하이브리드 나노 복합체를 사용하여 제작한 비휘발성 유기 메모리 소자는 공정의 간편성과 휘어짐이 가능한 장점을 가지고 있어 많은 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있으나 대부분의 좋은 전기적 성능을 갖는 소자에 포함되는 나노 입자는 독성을 가지거나 가격이 비싸다는 단점을 갖고 있다. 인체진화적이며 가격이 저렴한 나노입자를 이용한 비휘발성 메모리 소자에 대한 전기적 성능의 안정성에 대한 연구는 미미한 상황이다. 이에 본 연구에서는 인체친화적 $CuInS_2(CIS)$-ZnS 코어-쉘 나노 입자가 분산되어 있는 poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) 박막을 사용하여 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 제작하여 전기적 성능과 안정성에 대한 연구를 하였다. 인체친화적 CIS-ZnS 나노입자를 포함한 PMMA 용액을 Al 하부전극을 가진 p-Si (100) 기판 위에 스핀코팅 방법으로 균일하게 도포 하였다. 남아 있는 용매를 완전히 제거하기 위해 열을 가해 CIS-ZnS 나노입자가 분산되어 있는 PMMA 나노 복합체를 형성하였다. CIS-ZnS 나노입자를 포함한 PMMA 박막 위에 금속 마스크를 사용하여 Al 상부전극을 열 증착 방법으로 형성하여 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 완성하였다. 정전용량-전압 (C-V) 측정을 하여 평탄 전압 이동을 관찰하였고, CIS-ZnS 나노입자의 역할을 알아보기 위해 나노입자가 없는 PMMA 박막을 갖는 소자를 제작하여 동일한 조건에서 C-V 측정을 하였다. 소자의 안정성을 알아보기 위해 평탄 전압-유지 시간 (Vth-t) 측정을 수행하였다. Vth-t 측정은 CIS-ZnS 나노입자가 전하 포획 장소로 사용할 수 있는 것과 전기적 안정성을 갖고 있는 것을 확인하였다. C-V와 Vth-t 측정결과 및 에너지 대역도를 사용하여 CIS-ZnS 나노입자가 분산되어 있는 PMMA 박막을 포함한 나노 복합체를 사용하여 제작한 이용한 비휘발성 메모리 소자에서 전하수송 메커니즘을 설명하였다.

유기물/무기물 나노복합체를 이용하여 제작한 비휘발성 메모리 소자는 저전력 구동과 간단한 공정과 같은 장점 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 무기물 나노 입자를 포함한 고분자 박막을 사용한 비휘발성 메모리 소자에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되었으나, [6,6]- phenyl-C85 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) 나노 입자가 고분자 박막에 분산되어 있는 나노복합체를 사용하여 제작한 메모리 소자의 전기적 특성과 안정성에 대한 연구는 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 PCBM 나노 입자가 poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) 박막 안에 분산되어 있는 나노복합체를 사용한 메모리 소자를 제작하여 전기적 특성 및 안정성에 대하여 관찰하였다. PCBM 나노 입자를 PMMA와 함께 용매인 클로로벤젠에 용해한 후에 초음파 교반기를 사용하여 두 물질을 고르게 섞었다. 전극이 되는 indium-tin-oxide 가 성장된 유리 기판 위에 PCBM과 PMMA가 섞인 용액을 스핀 코팅한 후, 열을 가해 용매를 제거하여 PCBM입자가 PMMA에 분산되어 있는 나노복합체 박막을 형성하였다. 형성된 나노복합체 박막 위에 상부 전극으로 Al을 열증착하여 비휘발성 메모리 소자를 완성하였다. 제작된 소자의 전류-전압 측정 결과는 큰 ON/OFF 전류비율을 보여주었다. PCBM 나노입자를 포함하지 않은 소자에서는 메모리 특성이 나타나지 않았기 때문에 PCBM 나노 입자가 비휘발성 메모리 소자의 기억 특성을 나타내는 저장매체가 됨을 알 수 있었다. 전류-시간 측정 결과는 소자의 ON/OFF 전류 비율이 시간이 지남에 따라 큰 감쇠 현상 없이 104 sec 까지 지속적으로 유지됨을 알 수 있었다. 제작된 각각의 메모리 소자의 ON/OFF 전류 비율 결과는 103 이상의 일정한 값이 측정되어 제작된 소자의 안정성을 보여주었다.
