All the surface activities including surface tension, foaming power, foam stability, emulsifying power, dispersion effect, and detergency were measured and critical micelle concentration(cmc) was evaluated in dilute aqueous solution. The cmc evaluated by the Ring method was $10^{-3}{\sim}10^{-4}mol/L$ in case of monoesters, and $10^{-3}{\sim}5.0{\times}10^{-5}mol/L$ in case of diesters, respectively. Surface tension of the aqueous solution was decreased to $45{\sim}50dyne/cm$, showing the tendency that the ability of lowering the surface tension was dependent on increasing of carbon atom number in alkyl chain. Foaming power of all the monoesters was better than that of diesters. while foam stability of diesters was to the contrary. Emulsifying power of soybean oil or benzene was specially expected to be good for emulsifiers in industrial application fields. HLB values of monoesters and diesters evaluated by Griffin's method were in the range of 8 to 12. Dispersion property of ferric oxide was stable in the range of $4.5{\times}10^{-5}{\sim}5.0{\times}^{-4}mol/L$ in case of monoesters, and $10^{-5}{\sim}10^{-4}mol/L$ in case of diesters.

Cellulase was modified with copolymer with polyethylene(PE)/polypropylene(PP) oxide and maleic anhydride(MA) by maleylation reaction, and modified cellulase was applied to the reprocessing of old newsprint (ONP). Cellulase of modified cellulase enhanced the detachment of ink particles by fibrillation of fiber. The copolymer, which acted as the surfactant formed bubbles and removed the ink particles in the floatation process. Modified cellulase showed the same deinking ability without excess dosage compared with the conventional method. And, it improved the physical properties including tensile strength, brightness, and whiteness compared with the conventional deinking process. The bond between the ink and fiber got stronger as the storage time increased, and it became very difficult to remove the ink particle. But, modified cellulase increased the deinking ability by 41% compared with the conventional process at the experiment of the ONP for 1 year storage time. It removed the yellowing and increased the whiteness and brightness as well as tensile strength and internal bond strength.

Aluminium doped zinc oxide (ZnO:Al) thin film has emerged as one of the most promising transparent conducting electrode in flat panel displays(FPD) and in photovoltaic devices since it is inexpensive, mechanically stable, and highly resistant to deoxidation. In this paper ZnO:Al thin film was deposited on the polyethylene terephthalate(PET) substrate by the capacitively coupled r.f. magnetron sputtering method. Wide ranges of bias voltage, -30V${\sim}$45V, was applied to the growing films as an additional energy instead of substrate heating, and the effect of positive and negative bias on the film structure and electrical properties of ZnO:Al films was studied and discussed. The results showed that a bias applied to the substrate during sputtering contributed to the improvement of electrical properties of the film by attracting ions and electrons in the plasma to bombard the growing films. These bombardments provided additional energy to the growing ZnO film on the substrate, resulting in significant variations in film structure and electrical properties. The film deposited on the PET substrate at r. f. discharge power of 200 W showed the minimum resistivity of about $2.4{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}-cm$ and a transmittance of about 87%.

그래핀은 탄소원자로 구성된 원자단위 두께의 매우 얇은 2차원의 나노재료로서 높은 투광도 뿐만 아니라 우수한 기계적, 전기적 특성을 지니며 구조적 화학적 으로도 매우 안정한 것으로 알려져 있다. 이러한 그래핀을 얻는 방법에는 물리·화학적 박리법, 탄화규소의 흑연화, 열화학기 상증착법(thermal chemical vapor deposition; TCVD)등 많은 방법들이 존재한다. 이중 TCVD방법이 대면적으로 두께균일도가 높은 그래핀을 얻는데 가장 적합한 방법으로 알려져 있다. 한편 그래핀은 우수한 특성들을 기반으로 센서나 메모리와 같은 기능성 소자로 응용이 가능할 뿐 아니라 투명고분자 기판으로 전사함으로서 유연성 투명전극을 제작 가능하여 기존의 인듐산화물(indium tin oxide; ITO) 투명전극을 대체하여 디스플레이, 터치스크린, 전·자기 차폐재 등의 다양한 분야로의 응용이 가능하다고 예측되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 TCVD법을 이용하여 대면적으로 두께균일도가 높은 그래핀을 합성하여 투명 고분자 기판(polyethylene terephthalate; PET) 위에 전사하여 투명전도막을 제작한 후, 압축변형률(compressive strain)의 변화에 따른 전기적 특성 변화를 측정하였다. 그래핀은 300 nm 두께의 니켈박막이 증착된 산화물 실리콘 기판위에 원료가스로 메탄(CH4)을 사용하여 합성하였다. 합성 결과 단층 그래핀의 면적은 약 80% 이상이었으며, 합성된 그래핀은 분석의 용이함 및 향후 다양한 응용을 위하여 식각공정을 통해 산화막 실리콘 기판과 PET기판으로 전사하였다. PET기판 위로 전사하여 제작한 그래핀 투명전도막의 strain 인가에 따른 전기적 특성을 관찰한 결과, 약 20%의 비교적 높은 strain하에서도 전기적특성이 크게 변화하지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 그래핀의 특성분석을 위해서는 광학현미경, 라만 분광기, 투과전자현미경, 자외 및 가시선 분광광도계, 4탐침측정기 등을 이용하였다.

투명도전막(indium tin oxide; ITO)은 투명하면서도 전기 전도도가 높기 때문에, 액정표시소자(LCD; Liquid Crystal Display), 전자발광소자(ELD; Electroluminescent Display) 및 전자 크로믹 소자(Electrochromic Display)를 포함하는 평판형 표시 소자(FPD; Flat Panel Display)와 태양전지 등에 이용되고 있다. 낮은 비저항과 높은 투과율의 ITO 박막은 $300^{\circ}C$ 이상의 고온에서 코팅해야 하는 것으로 알려져 있다. 그러나 최근 플라스틱과 같은 연성 소자가 전자부품에 널리 이용되면서 ITO를 저온에서 증착해야할 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 ITO를 플라스틱에 적용하기 위한 저온 코팅 공정 및 시편의 전 후처리공정을 개발하여 박막의 특성을 알아보고자 한다. 실험에 사용된 기판은 고투과율의 고분자(polyethylene terephthalate; PET) 필름이며 $5\;{\times}\;10\;cm^2$의 크기로 절단하여 알코올로 초음파 세척을 실시하였고, 진공 용기에 장입한 후 펄스전원을 이용하여 3분간 in-situ 청정을 실시하였다. ITO 코팅은 마그네트론 스퍼터링을 이용하였으며, 코팅시간, 전처리, 후처리, 기판온도, 산소유량 등 코팅 조건에 따른 박막의 특성을 조사하였다. ITO 박막의 코팅 조건에 따른 박막의 결정구조 분석은 x-선 회절(x-ray diffraction; XRD)을 이용하였고, 박막의 표면형상과 두께 보정 및 단면의 미세조직과 결정 성장 여부 등은 투과전자 현미경(transmission electron microscope; TEM)을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한 ITO 박막의 면저항과 분광특성은 four-point Probe (CMP-100MP, Advanced Instrument Technology), spectrophotometer (UV-1601, SHIMADZU)를 이용하여 측정하였다. ITO 박막의 광학특성 분석 결과 전광선 투과율은 두께에 따라 변화 하였지만, 색차와 Haze 값은 증착 조건에 따라 큰 차이는 보이지 않았다. 그리고 박막의 결정화에 영향을 주는 가장 중요한 인자는 기판온도이지만, 기판온도를 높이지 못할 경우 비평형 마그네트론(unbalanced-magnetron; UBM)에 의해서 플라즈마 밀도를 높이는 방법으로 유사한 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 확인하였다.

The effect of electron beam irradiation on dye sensitized solar cell (DSSC) has been studied to examine degradation of DSSC. The high-energy electron beam irradiation affects on the materials and performance of dye sensitized solar cells. We have checked the effects of electron beam irradiation of $TiO_2$ substrate with and without dye adsorption on the photovoltaic performances of resulting DSSCS and also studied the structural and electrical properties of polymers after irradiation. All solar cells materials were irradiated by electron beams with an energy source of 2MeV at different dose rates of 60 kGy, 120 kGy 240 kGy and 900 kGy and then their photoelectrical parameters were measured at 1 sun $(100 mW/cm^2)$. It was shown that the efficiency of DSSC was decreased as increasing the dose of e-beam irradiation due to lowering in $TiO_2$ crystallinity, decomposition of dye and oxidation of FTO glasses. On the other hand, the performance of solid-state DSSC with polyethylene oxide based electrolyte was improved after irradiation of e-beam due to enhancement of its conductivity and breakage of crosslinking.

Polyethylene glycol (PEG) is widely used in cosmetics as a surfactant, detergent and emulsifier. During the manufacturing process, 1,4-dioxane, which is toxic to humans, can be produced as a by-product by dimerization of ethylene oxide. As consumers' interest in cosmetic ingredients has increased, the need for safe emulsion research without PEG ingredients in the personal care market has increased. With increasing consumer interest in cosmetic ingredients, the need for safer emulsion research without the PEG ingredient in the personal care market has increased. In this study, we aimed to develop and stabilize nanoemulsion formulation without PEG. Response Surface Methodology (RSM) was used to develop optimized nanoemulsion formulations. Surfactant content (2~4%), oil content (4~8%) and polyol content (12~24%) were set as independent variables as a result of preliminary experiments for determining independent variables and ranges. The particle size, zeta potential, turbidity, and polydispersity index of the formulation were measured as response variables. As a result of measurement of the prepared nanoemulsion by FIB (Focused ion beam), spherical particles were found to have a size distribution of 100 to 200 nm. The stability of each formulation was evaluated for 30 days at each temperature ($4^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$, and $45^{\circ}C$). The optimal formulation considering the optimum particle size, turbidity, polydispersity index and zeta potential was found to be surfactant (2%), oil (8%) and polyol (24%).

The present study was conducted to investigate the effects of components obtained from Zanthoxylum schinifolium and Zanthoxylum piperitum on rancidity and quality of Kwamegi (semi-dried Pacific saury, Coloabis saira). Ethanol extract (ZS) of Zanthoxylum schinifolium leaves or the essential oil (ZP) obtained from pericarp of Zanthoxylum piperitum in 1 or 20% ethanol solution was sprayed to the Pacific saury before Kwamegi preparation at its final concentrations of 0.125~2 ppm in the Kwamegi. The prepared Kwamegi was vacuum packed with multi-layered film (polyethylene/polyamide/EVOH/polyethylene, thickness 80 μm) and kept at -20${^{\circ}C}$ until use. After opening the package Kwamegi was stored at 4${^{\circ}C}$ for 1, 3 and 7 days during which rancidity tests and sensory evaluation were carried out. Acid, peroxide, and thiobarbituric acid (TBA) values increased with storage time but reduced significantly by the addition of ZS at the concentrations of ≥G0.125 ppm and ZP≥F0.25 ppm. The effects of ZS and ZP were dose-dependent and more pronounced as storage time prolonged. The ZS and ZP also reduced dimethyamine and trimethyamine (TMA) contents which were increased with time, while they prevented the decrease of trimethyamine oxide. The ZS at the concentration of ≥G0.25 ppm and the ZP at >0.5 ppm were needed to maintain TMA less than 4.5 mg/100 g for 3 day storage at 4${^{\circ}C}$. Sensory evaluation of the Kwamegi exhibited a slightly higher preference with the ZS and ZP treated ones at the level of 0.25~0.5 ppm. It is concluded that very low amounts of ZS and ZP are effective in suppression of rancidity of Kwamegi and could be utilized for its quality management.

This experiment was conducted to evaluate the effect of polyethylene film(P.E.) mulching on degradation of the soil insecticides, endosulfan(6,7,8,9,10,10-hexachloro-1,5,5a,6,9,9a-hexahydro-6,9-methano-2,4,3-benzodioxathiepin-3-oxide), fonofos(O-ethyl S-phenyl ethylphosphonodithioate), and ethorprophos(O-ethyl S, S-dipropyl phosphorodithioate) in red pepper, peanut, and sesame fields. Degradation of endosulfan, fonofos and ethoprophos in the soils under P.E. mulching and non-mulching followed first-order kinetics. The half-lives of fonofos, ethoprophos, ${\alpha}-$ and ${\beta}-endosulfan$ were $19{\sim}21$, $25{\sim}37$, $33{\sim}39$ and $56{\sim}81$ days, respectively. There were few differences in the half-lives of fonofos in either mulching or non-mulching concitions. However, half-lives of α-endosulfan, ethoprophos, and ${\beta}-endosulfan$ were 6, 12 and 25 days longer under P.E. mulching than under non-mulching conditions, respectively. The effect of P.E. mulching on degradation was remarkable for the slower degrading insecticides. Residues of ethoprophos in the harvested sesame under P.E. mulching and non-mulching conditions were 0.024 and 0.074ppm, respectively. Residues of fonofos in the harvested peanuts under P.E. mulching and non-mulching conditions were 0.078 and 0.017ppm, respectively. However, no endosulfan was detected in the harvested red peppers under either condition.

Alaska Pollack (Theragramma), Mackerel (Socomber japonicus), yellow corvenia (Pseudosc iance manchurica) were dressed, and then meat was separated from the other parts through a fish meat separator. After dehydration, the meat was ground with a silent cutter, packaged in polyethylene bags, and stored at -15。C for days. Samples were taken at regular intervals throughout the storage period and investigated for changes in puality characteristics such as the amounts of nitrogenous compounds, degree of lipid oxidation, fatty acid composition, and organoleptic factors. The resrlts obtained in this study were as follows; 1. The volatile basic nitrogen[VBN] contents of Alaska pollack, and yellow corvenia meat pastes increased from 14.4, 11.2 and 10.8mg% to 41.6, 38.3 and 40.6mg%, respectively during a 120 day storage period, whereas the trimethylamine oxide nitrogen [TMAO-N] contents decreased from 117.2, 12.8 and 17.2mg% to 40.3, 2.6 and 7.1mg% during the same period. 2. The TBA value of the mackerel meat paste showed a maximum peak after 60 days, and then decreased gradually, whereas the TBAvalues of the alaska pollack and yellow corvenia meat pastes increased steadily during the same period. The acid values of the meat pastes increased during the storage period, while the iodine values decreased. 3. The fatty acid composition of the total lipid of the meat pastes changed considerably during ghe 120 days storage period : saturated fatty acids in the total lipid such as myristic, palmitic, and stearic acid increased, while unsaturated fatty acids such as linoleic, gadoleic, eicosapentaenoic, erucic and docosahexaenoic acid decreased steadily. The initial percentage contents of the unsaturated fatty acids in the total lipid of the Alaska pollack, mackerel, and yellow corvenia meat pastes were 87.2%, 63.9%, and 75.9% respectively. However, the contents decreased to 46.0%, 42.5% and 51.3% after the 120day storage period. 4. The color of the meat pastes changde gradually into dark brown. L values of the meat paste measured with a thistimulus colorimeter decreased steadily during the storage period, while a and b values increased during same period. 5. Judging from the results of organoleptic evaluation on the fish odor, color and overall acceptability, significant difference were found between the odor and color of the mackerel and those of the yellow corvenia meat pastes. Overall acceptability score of yellow corvenia was higher than that of Alaska pollack or mackerel meat pastes.
