  • 폴리(에틸렌 나프탈레이트)의 축중합 반응은 가역반응이므로 부반응 물질인 에틸렌 글라이콜의 신속한 제거가 높은 분자량의 제품을 얻는데 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 폴리(에틸렌 나프탈레이트)올리고머로 박막을 제조하여 실제 반응기와 동일한 조건 하에서 (28$0^{\circ}C$, <0.1mmHg) 반응시켜 이 때 일어나는 물질 전달 현상을 관찰하고자 하였다. 여러 가치 두께의 박막을 제조하여 반응 실험한 결과 두께가 0.025cm 이하의 영역에서는 박막에서의 물질 전달 저항이 크지 않아 총괄 반응 속도에 영향을 미치지 않음을 관찰하였다. 물질 전달 모델 및 확산 모델을 사용하여 반응 결과를 예측한 결과 두 모델 모두 실험 결과를 잘 예측하였으나 확산 모델의 경우 중합도가 낮은 영역에서 물질 전달 모델에 비해 반응이 더 빨리 진행되는 경향을 보였다. 두 모델을 이용하여 물질 전달 관련 계수를 예측한 결과 폴리(에틸렌 나프탈레이트)에서의 확산 계수는 4.7${\times}$$10^{-6}$$\textrm{cm}^2$/sec, 물질 전달 계수는 1.4${\times}$$10^{-4}$cm/sce로 폴리(에틸렌 테레프탈레이트) 경우보다 작은 값을 보였다.

  • The objective of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effects of various natural flavonoids against growth of psychotropic Bacillus cereus strains, which cause dairy food outbreaks. Flavonoids were first screened for their ability to inhibit growth of B. cereus strains using the paper-disc diffusion test. Second, the growth inhibitory effect of selected flavonoids was evaluated in tryptic soy broth supplemented with 0.6% yeast extract, and the bactericidal effect of the flavonoids was measured in 0.8% (w/v) NaCl solution. Based on the paper-disc diffusion test, kaempferol was effectively active against B. cereus P14 and B. cereus KCCM 40935. Kaempferol had an antimicrobial effect at concentrations greater than 100 ${\mu}M$, and the numbers of B. cereus P14 and B. cereus KCCM 40935 decreased by 3.55 and 1.5 log cycles, respectively. The cell numbers of B. cereus P14 and B. cereus KCCM 40935 treated with 50 ${\mu}M$ kaempferol were reduced by 4.18 and 2.84 log cycles during a 24 h incubation to test the bactericidal effect of kaempferol (p<0.05). The results indicate that kaempferol had the greatest antimicrobial effect among the psychotropic B. cereus strains and the natural flavonoids tested.

  • Thermal and photochemistry of methyl iodide ($CH_3I)\;adsorbed\;on\;D_2O$ ice film on Cu(111) at 100 K were studied using temperature-programmed desorption (TPD) time-of-flight mass spectrometry (TOF-MS), X-ray and ultraviolet photoelectron spectroscopies. On the basis of TPD, multilayer and monolayer $CH_3I$ molecules desorb from $D_2O$ ice layer at 120 and 130 K, respectively. Photo-irradiation at 100 K exhibits dramatic changes in the TPD and I $3d_{5/2}\;XPS\;of\;CH_3I$ on ice film, due to a dramatic dissociation of $CH_3I$. The dissociation is likely activated by solvated electrons transferred from the metal substrate during photo-irradiation. No other photo-initiated reaction products were found within our instrumental detection limit. During photo-irradiation, the $CH_3I$, $CH_3$ and I could be trapped (or solvated) in ice film by rearrangement (and self-diffusion) of water molecules. A newly appeared parent molecular desorption peak at 145 K is attributed to trapped $CH_3I$. In addition, the $CH_3$ and I may diffuse through ice and chemisorb on Cu(111), indicated by TPD and I $d_{5/2}$ XPS taken with photo-irradiation time, respectively. No molecular ejection was found during photo-irradiation at 100 K. The work functions for $CH_3I/Cu(111),\;D_2O/Cu(111)\;and\;CH_3I/D_2$O/Cu(111) were all measured to be about 3.9 eV, 1.0 eV downward shift from that of clean Cu(111).

  • 폴리옥시에틸렌 도데실 에테르 유도체로 안정화된 헥산 - 물의 유화계에서 소량의 장쇄알칸 및 장쇄알칸올이 유화안정도에 미치는 효과를 비교 검토하였다. 장쇄알칸의 계면장력 및 원심분리에 의한 유화 안정도에 거의 영향을 주지 않았으나 장쇄알칸올은 계면장력을 현저히 저하시켰으며, 원심분리시 coalescence에 의한 유화파괴 방지에 효과적이었다. 그러나 시간 경과에 따른 유화안정도는 장쇄알칸이 장쇄알칸올 보다 더욱 효과적이었고 또 탄화수소쇄 길이가 길어질수록 더욱 효과적이었다. 이러한 것을 유화제를 변경시켰을 경우에도 마찬가지였다. 이것은 장쇄알칸을 첨가함으로써 분산상의 소수결합력을 증대시켜 물에 대한 용해도가 감소되어 분자확산에 의한 유화파괴가 어려워지기 때문이다. 즉 이러한 유화계에서 유화파괴는 coalescence보다는 분자확산에 의해 지배됨을 알 수 있다.

  • Fluorescent probes bound to DNA typically display nanosecond decay times and reveal only nanosecond motions. We extend the time range of measurable DNA dynamics using $[Ru(pby)_2(dppz)]^{2+}$ (bpy=2.2'-bipyridine, dppz=dipyrido[3,2-a2',3'-c]phenazine) (RuBD) which displays a mean lifetime near 90 ns. To test the usefulness of RuBD as a probe for diffusive processes in calf thymus DNA, we compared the efficiencies of fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) using three donors which display lifetimes near 5 ns for acridine orange (AO), 22 ns for ethidum bromide (EB) and 92 ns for RuBD, with nile blue (NB) as the acceptor. The F rster distances for AO-NB, EB-NB and RuBD-NB donor-acceptor pairs were 42.3, 52.3, and $30.6{\;}{\AA}$, respectively. All three donors showed dramatic decreases in fluorescence intensities and more rapid intensity decays with increasing NB concentrations. The intensity decays of AO and EB in the presence of varying concentrations of NB were satisfactorily described by the one-dimensional FRET model without diffusion (Blumen and Manz, 1979). In the case of the long-lifetime donor RuBD, the experimental phase and modulation somewhat deviated from the recovered values computed from this model. The recovered NB concentrations and FRET efficiencies from the model were slightly larger than the expected values, however, the recovered and expected values did not show a significant difference. Thus, it is suggested that the lifetime of RuBD is too short to measure diffusive processes in calf thymus DNA.

  • Hemodialysis graft coated with paclitaxel prevents stenosis; however, large initial burst release of paclitaxel causes many negative effects such as drug toxicity and inefficient drug loss. Therefore we developed and tested a novel coating method, double dipping, to provide controlled and sustained release of paclitaxel locally. Expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (ePTFE) grafts were dipped twice into a solution of several different paclitaxel concentrations. In vitro release tests of the double dipping method showed that early burst release could be somewhat retarded and followed by sustained release for a long time. We observed the effect of paclitaxel coating by double dipping in porcine model of arterio-venous (AV) grafts between the common carotid artery and the external jugular vein. 12 weeks after constructing AV grafts, cross sections of the graft venous anastomosis were obtained and analyzed. Paclitaxel coated ePTFE grafts by double dipping were observed to prevent neointimal hyperplasia and therefore reduced stenosis of the arteriovenous hemodialysis grafts, especially at the graft venous anastomosis sites. Our results demonstrate that second dipping of ePTFE graft, which was already coated once with paclitaxel, washes off the drug on a surface of the graft and affects the ratio of paclitaxel on the surface to that of the inner space, possibly by diffusion: thus the early burst of drug can be somewhat reduced.

  • The study of methyl viologen ($MV^{2+}$) mediated oxygen reduction in electrolytic ethanol media possesses potential application in the electrochemical synthesis of hydrogen peroxide mainly due to the advantages of the much increased solubility of molecular oxygen ($O_2$) and high degree of reversibility of $MV^{2+/{\bullet}+}$ redox couple. The diffusion coefficients of both $MV^{2+}$ and $O_2$ were investigated via electrochemical techniques. For the first time, $MV^{2+}$ mediated $O_2$ reduction in electrolytic ethanol solution has been proved to be feasible on both boron-doped diamond and micro-carbon disc electrodes. The electrocatalytic response is demonstrated to be due to the radical cation, $MV^{{\bullet}+}$. The homogeneous electron transfer step is suggested to be the rate determining step with a rate constant of $(1{\pm}0.1){\times}10^5M^{-1}s^{-1}$. With the aid of a simulation program describing the EC' mechanism, by increasing the concentration ratio of $MV^{2+}$ to $O_2$ electrochemical catalysis can be switched from a partial to a 'total catalysis' regime.

  • Crude oils are essential source of energy. It is majorly found in geographical locations beneath the earth's surface and crude oil is the main factor for the economic developments in the world. Natural crude oil contains unrefined petroleum composed of hydrocarbons of various molecular weights and it contains other organic materials like aromatic compounds, sulphur compounds, and many other organic compounds. These hydrocarbons are rapidly getting degraded by biosurfactant producing microorganisms. The present study deals with the isolation, purification, and characterization of biosurfactant producing microorganism from oil-contaminated soil. The ability of the microorganism producing biosurfactant was investigated by well diffusion method, drop collapse test, emulsification test, oil displacement activity, and blue agar plate method. The isolate obtained from the oil contaminated soil was identified as Bacillus subtilis. The identification was done by microscopic examinations and further characterization was done by Biochemical tests and 16SrRNA gene sequencing. Purification of the biosurfactant was performed by simple liquid-liquid extraction, and characterization of extracted biosurfactants was done using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). The degradation of crude oil upon treatment with the partially purified biosurfactant was analyzed by FTIR spectroscopy and Gas-chromatography mass spectroscopy (GC-MS).

  • MOS-FET structured gas sensors were manufactured using MWCNTs for application as NOx gas sensors. As the gas sensors need to be heated to facilitate desorption of the gas molecules, heat dispersion plays a key role in boosting the degree of uniformity of molecular desorption. We report the desorption of gas molecules from the sensor at $150^{\circ}C$ for different sensor electrode gaps (30, 60, and $90{\mu}m$). The COMSOL analysis program was used to verify the process of heat dispersion. For heat analysis, structure of FET gas sensor modeling was proceeded. In addition, a property value of the material was used for two-dimensional modeling. To ascertain the degree of heat dispersion by FEM, the governing equations were presented as partial differential equations. The heat analysis revealed that although a large electrode gap is advantageous for effective gas adsorption, consideration of the heat dispersion gradient indicated that the optimal electrode gap for the sensor is $60{\mu}m$.
