The main objective of this study was to modulate pH-sensitive polymers (poly($\beta-amino esters$)) by controlling their molecular weight during their synthesis. These pH-sensitive and biodegradable polymers were synthesized by Michael-type step polymerization. 1,4-Butane diol diacrylate was used as the unsaturated carbonyl compound and piperazine as the nucleophilic compound. Various molecular weight polymers were obtained by varying the mol ratio of piperazine/1,4-butane diol diacrylate. The synthesized polymers were characterized by $^{1}H-NMR$ and their molecular weights were measured by gel permeation chromatography(GPC). The dependence of the molecular weight on the mol ratio was evaluated by the titration method. Also, the pH dependent turbidity of the polymers was determined by UV-Vis spectrophotometry. This pH dependent property of the polymers could be very useful for preparing drug carriers that are sensitive to pH.

The physico-chemical stability of aucubin, a hepatoprotective iridoid glucoside, in buffered aqueous solutions was studied using a stability-indicating reversed-phase high performance liquid chromatography. The degradation of aucubin followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics. In strong acidic regions, aucubin was rapidly degraded by the specific acid catalysis, forming dark brown precipitates. From the rate-pH profiles, it was found that aucubin was most stable at the pH of about 10. From the temperature dependence of degradation, activation energies for aucubin at pH 2.1 and 4.9 were calculated to be 22.0 and 24.3 kcal/mole, respectively. The shelf-life $(t_{90%})$ for aucubin at pH 9.07 and $20^{\circ}C$ was predicted to be about 603 days. A higher ionic strength accelerated the degradation of aucubin at pH 4.01. The effect of metal ions on the degradation rate of aucubin at pH 7.16 was in the rank order of $Cu^{2+}\;>\;Fe^{3+}\;>\;Co^{2+}\;>\;Fe^{2+}\;>\;Mg^{2+}$. On the other hand, $Mn^{2+}\;and\;Ba^{2+}$ slowed the degradation rate.

Several new ion exchange resins have been synthesized from chloromethyl styrene-1,4-divinylbenzine with 1%, 2%, 5% and 105-crosslink and macrocyclic ligands of cryptand type by interpolymerization method. The adsorption characteristics and the pH, time, solvents and concentration dependence of the adsorption of uranium ion by this resins were studied. The resins were very stable in both acidic and basic media and have good resistance to heat at $300^{\circ}C$. The uranium ion are not adsorbed on the resins below pH 3.0, but the power of adsorption of it increased rapidly above pH 4.0. The optimum equilibrium time for adsorption of uranium ion was two hours and adsorptive power decreased in proportion to crosslink size of the resins and order of dielectric constants of solvents used and the adsorption for uranium ion was bin the order of $OdienNtn-H_4$ > $OtnNen-H_4$ > $OtnNen-H_4$ > $OenNen-H_4$.

Mercury accumulates in biota mainly as methylmercury. In nature, methylmercury shows high affinity to organic matter and $CH_3Hg^+$-organic matter complexation affects the mobility and bioavailabiity of methylmercury. In this study, we examined the methylmercury binding sites in an aquatic humic acid as affected by the pH condition using Hg $L_{III}$-edge extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS). We evaluated methylmercury binding humic ligands using methylmercury-thiol, methylmerury-carboxyl, and methylmercury-amine complexation models. When $CH_3Hg^+$-to-humic reduced sulfur ratio is 0.3, we found that most of $CH_3Hg^+$ binds to thiol ligands at pH 5 and 7. At pH 7, however, some carboxyl or amine ligand contribution is observed, unlike at pH 5 where $CH_3Hg^+$ almost exclusively binds to thiol ligands. The carboxyl or amine ligand contribution may indicate that some types of thiol ligands in the natural organic matter have relatively low complexation constants or acid dissociation constants compared to those of some carboxyl or amine ligands. Analysis results indicate that ~0.2 fraction of methylmercury binds to amine or carboxyl ligands and ~0.8 to thiol ligands at pH 7.

The intermolecular hydrogen bond between silk fibroin in aqueous solution facilitates gelation of silk fibroin. The dependence of gelation by the concentration of silk fibroin, pH and temperature was investigated. The gelation time of silk fibroin is decreased with increasing the concentration of glycerol and temperature within a limited range. The pH optimum for gelation found out to be 9. Hydrophobic additives were investigated to reduce gelation time.

Diazepam was investigated in aqueous buffer media using pulsed rotation voltammetry. The dependence of half-wave potentials on pH indicated a two proton involvement in a two electron transfer reduction in the pH range 3-10. Dizaepam at micromolar concentration levels may be determined by measurement of the limiting difference current.

We report that the optimum substrate temperature to fabricate a-Si:H $n^+-p-p^+$ cell decreases with increasing the boron concentration in the Player. The results can be explained as the dependence of substrate temperature for the relaxation of silicon atoms and the bonded hydrogen concentration in the player.

All spectroscopic methods used in this work indicate the instability of tungstophosphates in aqueous solutions and considerable dependence on pH with regard to the dominant species present in the solution. UV spectroscopy indicates that some changes occur in the system but they cannot be specified. IR spectroscopy gives more information on the identification of the dominant species as a function the pH of the solution. NMR spectroscopy provides unique data, which can be used for more accurate interpretation of changes in the solution of various pH values. In the case of aqueous solutions of tungstophosphates, the parent anion was present only in a very acidic solution of ca. pH 1. Some differences in interpretation of the molecular species present under various experimental conditions can be ascribed to some extent to the diversity of chemical shifts of NMR. Under physiological conditions attained with the addition of NaOH, tungstophosphates was dominantly present in the form of the lacunary monovacant anion.

동일한 화산회로부터 발달한 세개의 하와이 토양을 사용하여 중요한 토양 물리화학적 성질을 결정하는 인자인 토양표면전하 (soil surface charge)의 특성에 대한 조사를 수행하였다. 높은 강우량(년 3050mm 이상)하에서 발달한 두 Typic Hydrandepts 토양은 pH 변화에 따른 음 양 전하의 발달이 대단히 컸으며 등전점은 각각 Akaka 토양이 5.0-5.5 사이, Hilo 토양이 6.5-7.0 사이에 있었다. 한편 낮은 강우량(년 500mm 이하)하에서 발달한 Ustolic Camorthid 토양은 pH 변화에 따른 음 양전하의 발달이 위 두 토양에 비하여 훨씬 낮았으며, 등전점 역시 4.5-5.0 사이로서 낮았다. 따라서 자연조건에서 Kawaihae 토양만이 -(음)의 ${\Delta}pH$를 나타내고 Akaka와 Hilo 토양은 +(양) 내지 0 근처의 ${\Delta}pH$ 값을 보여 주고 있다. X-ray 회절분석에 의하여 Typic Hydrandepts 토양의 주광물은 무정형 광물 (60 % 이상)이었고, Ustollic Camorthid 토양중의 주광물은 dehydrated halloysite(1:1 점토광물) (45-50 %)이었음이 밝혀졌다. 이같은 동일한 화산회에서부터 발달한 토양의 현저한 광물학적 차이는 토양발달과정중의 강우량 차이에서 기인한 것으로 추정된마, 세토양중의 점토함량은 최저 42% (Akaka 토양)와 최고 57% (Hilo 토양)로 그 차이가 크지 않았으나 이들 토양의 표면적 ($m^2/g$)은 289 (Akaka 토양), 268 (Hilo 토양) 그리고 93 (Kawaihae 토양)으로서 특별히 Kawaihae 토양이 현저히 낮았다. 이같은 토양간의 표면적과 전하적 특성의 현저한 차이는 토양중의 광물학적 차이에서 오는 것이며 1:1 광물이 주를 이루는 우리나라 대부분의 토양은 본 연구 중의 Kawaihae 토양과 유사한 특성을, 그리고 우리나라 제주도 화산회토의 일부는 Akaka나 Hilo 토양의 특성을 따를 것으로 예상되는 바이다.

The pH dependence of the absorption and fluorescence of 4-hydroxy-2-methyl-1,2-benzothiazinenecarboxylat es, piroxicam and HMBDC have been measured and compared with the solvent dependence of the spectra reported previously. Four different prototropic species are observed in both ground and excited states of piroxicam ; the cation, the neutral, the anion and the dianion, while three different species such as the cation, the neutral and the anion are observed in HMBDC. The $pK_a$ and $pK_a^{\ast}$ have been determined by absorptiometric titration and Forster cycle method, respectively. The probable structure of each species has been proposed on the basis of the intramolecular phototautomerism.
