The behavior of benzo[a]pyrene-7,8-dione (BPQ) in aqueous solution and its interaction with native DNA was investigated using conventional absorption and linear dichroism (LD) spectroscopy. The appearance of a broad absorption maximum at long wavelengths and its proportional relationship to solvent polarizability suggested that BPQ adopts a aggregated state for all solutions examined. Disappearance of this absorption band at higher temperatures in aqueous solution also supported BPQ aggregation. When associated with DNA absorption spectral properties were essentially the same as that in aqueous solution. However, two isosbestic wavelengths were found in the concentration-dependent absorption spectrum of the BPQ-DNA complex, suggesting the presence of at least two or more DNA-bound BPQ species. Both species produced $LD^r$ spectra whose magnitude in BPQ absorption region is larger or comparable to that in the DNA absorption region, suggesting that the molecular BPQ plane is near perpendicular relative to the local DNA helical axis. Therefore, BPQ molecules are aligned along the DNA stem in both DNA-aggregated BPQ species.

We investigate the surface order, defects and morphology of hexagonal columnar mesophases, Having a crown ether at one end which forms the center of the column and three fluorinated tails at the other, The orientation of the columns was successfully controlled by surface anchoring: Columns were aligned perpendicularly to an evaporated carbon surface, and the planar alignment do asymmetric compounds was induced by a water surface. TEM images show that there is a high degree of perfection in the packing do the cylinders. The hexagonal columnar mesophase (F(sub)h) was confirmed by direct images and the corresponding electron diffractions, where ordered cylindrical moieties are packed on a hexagonal lattice. The column of 12F8-ABG-15C5 was much straighter, compared with that of 12F8-AG-B15C5, resulting from the degrees of regular stacking. Elementary edge dislocation, grain boundary and +1/2 disclination have been observed, although the defects are generally rare.

Organic compounds are adsorbed on RO/NF membranes, and the adsorption may influence the rejection of organic compounds by the membranes. Because almost RO/NF membranes are composite membranes, the results obtained by adsorption experiment with using membrane pieces are unable to avoid the influence by the support membrane. In this work, the interaction between membrane polymer and organic solutes was examined by an inverse HPLC methodology. Poly (m-phenylenetrimesoylate), the constituent of skin layer of RO/NF membranes, was coated on silica gel particles and used as a stationary phase for HPLC. When water was used as a mobile phase, almost hydrophilic aliphatic compounds were not effectively adsorbed on the stationary phase, although hydrophobic compounds were slightly adsorbed. The results indicated that the hydrophilic aliphatic compounds are useful probe solutes to examine the molecular sieving effect of a membrane. When water was used as a mobile phase, the aromatic compounds were strongly retained, and therefore $CH_3CN/H_2O$ (30/70) was used as a mobile phase. It was revealed that the adsorption of aromatic compounds was controlled by stacking between solute and polymer and was hindered by non-planar structure and substituents.

본 논문에서는 분자동력학 방법을 이용하여 Ag 필름/Cu기판에 대한 나노인덴테이션 특성을 파악하였다. 필름의 강성과 경도는 필름의 두께에 관계되어있으며, 임계범위 내에서, 그래인 크기가 증기하면 강성과 경도도 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 5nm 두께 이하의 Ag필름/Cu기판의 강성과 경도는 벌크 Ag의 경우에 비해 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 특히 4nm 두께 이하의 Ag필름/Cu기판의 인덴테이션에 있어서, 전위 집적과 불일치 전위사이의 상호작용에 의해 계면상에서 꽃모양의 전위 루프가 발생 하였다. 이는 인덴테이션 하중과 변위 커브에서 하중이 저하되는 것과 관계있는 것으로 사료되고 있다.

본 연구에서는 자기장 하에서 증착 후 열처리된 NPD (4,4'-bis-[N-(1-napthyl)-N-phenyl-amino]biphenyl)박막의 토폴로지와 분자배열을 관찰하였다. NPD는 진공에서 열 증발법을 통하여 증착되었다. 분자 배열이 잘 되어진 유기/금속필름은 2전류밀도와 발광효율 같은 소자의 특성을 향상시키는 것이 특히 중요하다. 원자탐침현미경(AFM) 및 X선 회절 분석기(XRD)의 분석결과는 토폴로지와 NPD필름의 구조적 배열을 특성화하는데 사용되었다. 멀티소스미터는 ITO/NPD/Al 소자의 전류-전압 특성을 측정하는데 사용되었다. XRD 결과에 따르면 자기장 하에서 증착된 NPD 박막은 분자배열이 관찰되지 않았으나, $130^{\circ}C$에서 후(後)열처리한 NPD 박막에서는 고른 분자배열을 확인할 수 있었다. AFM 이미지에 따르면, 자기장 하에서 증착된 NPD 박막은 자기장 없이 증착된 박막보다 더 매끄러운 표면을 가졌다. NPD의 전류-전압 특성은 고른 분자 배열을 가진 NPD 필름의 더 높아진 전자이동도로 인해 향상되었다.

본 연구에서는 수용액상에서 자기조립 나노입자를 형성할 수 있는 레티노익산이 접목된 양친성 폴리아미노산 유도체를 합성하였다. 합성한 양친성 폴리아미노산은 레티노익산의 접목도가 각각 5, 10, 30 mol%가 되도록 조절하였다. 수용액 상에서 양친성 폴리아미노산은 소수성 레티노익산의 분자 결합에 의해 안정한 자기조립 나노입자를 형성하였다. 자기조립 나노입자는 레티노익산의 접목도가 증가할수록 크기는 작아지고 형태는 구형에서 이중층 구조로 전이되었다. 또한 접목도가 10%일 때, 자기조립 입자의 구조 붕괴 없이 레티놀의 포집 및 전달이 가장 효과적인 것을 확인하였다. 접목도가 제어된 자기조립입자는 레티놀을 안정적으로 포집할 수 있기 때문에 주름개선제 및 다양한 기능성 화장품 전달체로 활용될 수 있다.

고등식물의 엽록체 형질전환은 핵 형질전환에서 기대 할 수 없는 여러 가지 이점을 가진다. 외래 단백질의 발현율을 획기적으로 높일 수 있고, 여러 유전자를 동시에 발현시킬 수 있으며, 상동재조합에 의한 부위-특이적 유전자 삽입으로 인해 유전자 침묵 및 위치효과가 없다. 더욱이, 대부분 작물은 화분을 통한 도입된 유전자의 전이가 불가능한 모계 유전을 하기 때문에 엽록체 형질전환은 환경 친화적이다. 엽록체 형질전환 시스템은 핵 형질 전환과 달리 작물에서의 성공에 제한적이었으나 지난 10년 동안 이런 한계가 극복되어 콩, 당근, 상추 및 유채 등의 작물에서도 성공하게 되었다. 그러므로 이제 작물의 엽록체 형질전환은 농업적 형질의 개선뿐 만 아니라, 고부가가치 백신과 의료용 단백질 생산을 통한 의약품 산업의 성장에 활용될 수 있을 것이다.

Polymer based organic photovoltaics have attracted a great deal of attention due to the potential cost-effectiveness of light-weight and flexible solar cells. However, most BHJ polymer solar cells are not thermally stable as subsequent exposure to heat drives further development of the morphology towards a state of macrophase separation in the micrometer scale. Here we would like to show three different approaches for developing new electroactive polymers to improve the thermal stability of the BHJ solar cells, which is a critical problem for the commercialization of these solar cells. For one of the examples, we report a new series of functionalized polythiophene (PT-x) copolymers for use in solution processed organic photovoltaics (OPVs). PT-x copolymers were synthesized from two different monomers, where the ratio of the monomers was carefully controlled to achieve a UV photo-crosslinkable layer while leaving the ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking feature of conjugated polymers unchanged. The crosslinking stabilizes PT-x/PCBM blend morphology preventing the macro phase separation between two components, which lead to OPVs with remarkably enhanced thermal stability. The drastic improvement in thermal stabilities is further characterized by microscopy as well as grazing incidence X-ray scattering (GIXS). In the second part of talk, we will discuss the use of block copolymers as active materials for WOLEDs in which phosphorescent emitter isolation can be achieved. We have exploited the use of triarylamine (TPA) oxadiazole (OXA) diblock copolymers (TPA-b-OXA), which have been used as host materials due to their high triplet energy and charge-transport properties enabling a balance of holes and electrons. Organization of phosphorescent domains in TPA-b-OXA block copolymers is demonstrated to yield dual emission for white electroluminescence. Our approach minimizes energy transfer between two colored species by site isolation through morphology control, allowing higher loading concentration of red emitters with improved device performance. Furthermore, by varying the molecular weight of TPA-b-OXA and the ratio of blue to red emitters, we have investigated the effect of domain spacing on the electroluminescence spectrum and device performance.

We report a novel structure for a full-color AMOLED (Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) eliminating the patterning process of a blue emitting layer. The patterning of the three primary colors, RGB, is a key technology in the OLED fabrication process. Conventional full color AMOLED containing RGB layers includes the three opportunities of the defects to make an accurate position and fine resolution using various technologies such as fine metal mask, ink-jet printing and laser-induced transfer system. We can skip the blue patterning step by simply stacking the blue layer as a common layer to the whole active area after pixelizing two primary colors, RG, in the conventional small molecular OLED structure. The red and green pixel showed equivalent performances without any contribution of the blue emission.

In order to explore new coordination frameworks with novel designed 3-nitrophthalic acid and the same N-donor ancillary ligand, a series of novel coordination complexes, namely, $[Cd_2(3-NPA)_2(TBZ)_2(H_2O)_2]{\cdot}2H_2O$(1), $[Zn_2(3-NPA)_2(TBZ)_2]$(2), $[Zn_2O(3-NPA)(TBZ)(H_2O)]_n$(3), $[Co(3-NPA)(TBZ)(H_2O)]_n$(4) (3-$NPAH_2$ = 3-nitrophthalic acid), have been hydrothermally synthesized through the reaction of 3-nitrophthalic acid with divalent transition-metal salts in the presence of N-donor ancillary coligand (TBZ = thiabendazole). As a result of various coordination modes of the versatile 3-$NPAH_2$ and the coligand TBZ, these complexes exhibit structural diversity. X-ray structure analysis reveals that 1 and 2 are 0D molecular rings, while 3 and 4 are one-dimensional (1D) infinite chain polymers. And the weak O-H${\cdots}$O hydrogen bonds and C-H${\cdots}$O nonclassical hydrogen bonds as well as ${\pi}-{\pi}$ stacking also play important roles in affecting the final structure where complexes 1, 3 and 4 have 3D supramolecular architectures, while complex 2 has a 2D supramolecular network. Also, IR spectra, fluorescence properties and thermal decomposition process of complexes 1-4 were investigated.
