Seed 중합 방법에 의하여 단분산성 다공의 폴리아크릴로니트릴-에틸렌글리콜 디메타크릴레이트 (PAN) 고분자 마이크로 겔이 제조되었다. PAN 마이크로 겔의 물리적인 특성을 모노머/seed와 희석제/모노머의 비율, 가교제의 농도 및 희석제의 종류에 따라 연구하였다. PAN 마이크로 겔의 입도 분포는 모노머/seed의 비율이 50 이하 일 때 단분산성을 나타냈으며, 가교제의 농도가 증가할수록 입자 내부의 미소 구체 (microsphere)의 크기가 작아져 더욱 밀집된 형태를 나타내기 때문에 입자의 비표면적이 증대되었다. 또한 희석제로 톨루엔을 사용하고 희석제/모노머의 비율이 1.0일 때 입자표면의 세공이 가장 발달되었다.

A simple approach to prepare arrays of Au/TiO2 composite nanoparticles by using Au-loaded block copolymers as templates combined with a sol-gel process is described. The organic-inorganic hybrid films with closely packed inorganic nanodomains in organic matrix are produced by spin coating the mixtures of polystyrene-block-poly(ethylene oxide) (PS-b-PEO)/HAuCl4 solution and sol-gel precursor solution. After removal of the organic matrix with deep UV irradiation, arrays of Au/TiO2 composite nanoparticles with different compositions or particle sizes can be easily produced. Different photoluminescence (PL) emission spectra from an organic-inorganic hybrid film and arrays of Au/TiO2 composite nanoparticles indicate that TiO2 and Au components exist as separate state in the initial hybrid film and form composite nanoparticles after the removal of the block copolymer matrix.

This article gives an overview of a recently developed channel system, frit-inlet asymmetrical flow field-flow fractionation (FI-AFlFFF), which can be applied for the separation of nanoparticles, proteins, and water soluble polymers. A conventiona l asymmetrical flow FFF channel has been modified into a frit-inlet asymmetrical type by introducing a small inlet frit near the injection point and the system operation of the FI-AFlFFF channel can be made with a great convenience. Since sample components injected into the FI-AFlFFF channel are hydrodynamically relaxed, sample injection and separation processes proceed without interruption of the migration flow. Therefore in FI-AFlFFF, there is no requirement for a valve operation to switch the direction of the migration flow that is normally achieved during the focusing/relaxation process in a conventional asymmetrical channel. In this report, principles of the hydrodynamic relaxation in FI-AFlFFF channel are described with equations to predict the retention time and to calculate the complicated flow variations in the developed channel. The retention and resolving power of FI-AFlFFF system are demonstrated with standard nanospheres and protreins. An attempt to elucidate the capability of FI-AFlFFF system for the separation and size characterization of nanoparticles is made with a fumed silica particle sample. In FI-AFlFFF, field programming can be easily applied to improve separation speed and resolution for a highly retaining component (very large MW) by using flow circulation method. Programmed FI-AFlFFF separations are demonstrated with polystyrene sulfonate standards and pululans and the dynamic separation range of molecular weight is successfully expanded.

Proton treatment may deliver a larger dose to a patient's skin than traditional photon therapy, especially when a range shifter (RS) is inserted in the beam path. This study investigated the effects of an RS on skin dose while considering RS with different thicknesses, airgaps and materials. First, the physical model of the scanning nozzle with RS was established in the TOol for PArticle Simulation (TOPAS) code, and the effects of the RS on the skin dose were studied. Second, the variations in the skin dose and isocenter beam size were examined by reducing the air gap. Finally, the effects of different RS materials, such as polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), Lexan, polyethylene and polystyrene, on the skin dose were analysed. The results demonstrated that the current RS design had a negligible effect on the skin dose, whereas the RS significantly impacted the isocenter beam size. The skin dose was increased considerably when the RS was placed close to the phantom. Moreover, the magnitude of the increase was related to the thickness of the inserted RS. Meanwhile, the results also revealed that the secondary proton primarily contributed to the increased skin dose.

This study was conducted to develop a sensitized latex-antigen for serodiagnosis of toxoplasmosis in animals. Tachyzoites of T gondii(RH-strain) harvested from mouse peritoneal cavity were purified through the filtraton of polycarbonate membrane(pore size, $3.0{{\mu}m}$, Costar Co.) and disrupted by ultrasonicator. The tachyzoite suspension was ultracentrifuged for 30 min at $60,000{\times}g(4{^{\circ}C})$ and the supernatant was used as a water-lysate antigen. Polystyrene latex particles of $0.8{{\mu}m}$ in diameter(Sigma) were used for the preparation of sensitized latex-antigen suspension. The several parameters including the preparation conditions, incubation buffer. serum dilution buffer and stability of agglutination reactions were evaluated and the results obtained were summarized as follows : 1. The antigen consisting of a water-lysate of T gondii tachyzoites was adsorbed onto polystyrene latex particles of $0.8{{\mu}m}$ in diameter by adding a latex suspension to an equal volume of diluted antigen solution and by incubating the mixture at $37{^{\circ}C}$ under different conditions. 2. The optimum incubation buffer used for the antigen sensitization was 0.1M Tris-HCl buffer(pH 8.0). 3. The optimum serum dilution buffer used for the latex agglutination test was 0.1M Tris-HCl-NaCl buffer(pH 7.4) containing 300 mM NaCl. But 0.1M Tris-HCl-NaCl buffer(pH 7.4) containing 300-600 mM NaCl, 0.5% BSA and 0.01% Tween-20 improved the agglutination pattems and cleared the background of microplate well without the effects on L.A titer. 4. The time required for antigen sensitization was 40 and 60 min in incubation buffer(pH 8.0) at $37{^{\circ}C}$. But the optimun time for antigen sensitization was min at $37{^{\circ}C}$. 5. The optimun quantity of antigen absorbed on latex particles for proper agglutination was the range of 20 to $32{\mu}g$ of latex particles. 6. The optimun concentration of the latex-antigen suspension for the proper agglutination reaction was determined as 0.2%(w/v). 7. The specificity, rapidity and simplicity of the latex-particle agglutination test suggested that it might be adaptable to large scale serum screening.

에너지 절약을 위한 연구 중 단열 기술 분야에서는 공기의 낮은 열전도도를 활용한 연구가 이뤄지고 있으며 널리 상용화 되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 입자 내부에 공기층을 갖는 중공형(hollow) 형태의 실리카 나노 입자를 제조하여 공기층 크기가 단열 성능에 미치는 영향에 대해 고찰하였다. Polystyrene 주형법을 이용하여 졸-겔공정을 통해 속이 빈 중공형 실리카 나노 입자(Hollow silica nanoparticles)를 제조하였고, 입자를 5 wt %로 도료에 첨가한 후 열전달 실험을 통해 단열 성능을 확인하였다. 기존 페인트에 입자를 혼합하여 약 15 %이상의 단열효율을 나타냈으며, 내부 공기층의 크기가 큰 입자가 작은 입자에 비해 5% 높은 단열 성능을 나타냈다. 이번 연구를 통해 내부 크기에 따른 단열효과의 차이를 보여줌으로써, 중공형 형태의 입자를 첨가제나 도료 제조에 사용하는 경우 단열효과를 높이기 위해 매질 내에서 입자가 공기층을 최대로 이룰 수 있도록 입자의 크기를 고려해야함을 제시한다.

본 연구에서는 구형의 폴리스티렌 구슬을 틀로 사용하여, 크기분포가 좁으면서 속은 비어있고 벽이 다공성인 구조의 탄소 마이크로 캡슐을 합성하였다. 폴리스티렌의 표면은 무기물인 실리카졸이 쉽게 입혀질 수 있도록 폴리비닐피롤리돈(PVP)을 코팅하여 변조하였다. PVP가 코팅된 PS 마이크로 입자표면에 SBA-16 졸을 부착시킨 다음, 실리카층에 존재하는 중간 크기의 세공 내에 탄소원을 채워 넣는 음각식 형뜨기법을 적용함으로써 속이 빈 구조의 탄소 마이크로캡슐을 제조하였다. 탄화과정을 거치고 틀로 사용한 다공성 실리카입자를 HF로 용해하면, 좁은 입자크기분포를 갖는 중간세공이 함유된 계란껍질형의 탄소입자를 얻을 수 있었다. 계란껍질형 탄소 마이크로캡슐 입자의 다공성과 전기화학적 특성은 XRD, SEM, TEM, 질소분자 흡/탈착분석법 및 cyclic voltammetry법으로 평가하였다. 이들 탄소입자는 슈퍼캐패시터와 같은 전자재료로서 유효하게 사용될 만한 높은 전기전도도와 용량을 나타내었다.

폴리페닐렌 에테르(PPE)/폴리아미드(PA)를 근간으로 하는 블렌드를 상용화하기 위하여 부타디엔 고무에 스티렌이 그라프트된 공중합체 (g-BS)를 합성하고 여기에 폴리아미드의 말단기인 아민기와 반응성이 높은 무수말레인산기를 그라프트시킨 g-BS*를 도입하여 블렌드의 형태학과 기계적 성질의 변화를 조사하고 상용화제로서의 성능을 평가하였다. 폴리아미드 연속상에 분산되어 있는 PPE상의 크기와 이에 따른 기계적 성질의 변화는 사용된 g-BS의 구조와 관능기의 함량과 밀접한 관계를 나타내었다. 블렌드의 내열성과 내충격성의 균형을 위하여 g-BS성분을 PPE상에 내재시키는 것이 중요하고, 이러한 상구조의 형성은 g-BS에 포함된 폴리스티렌의 함량과 분자량이 적절하게 유지될 때 가능하였다. 고무함량과 그라프트된 폴리스티렌의 분자량이 일정하게 고정된 상태에서, g-BS*에 존재하는 무수말레인산의 함량이 낮거나, 고무입자의 크기가 커질 경우에는 연속상과 분산상의 계면 보강이 효과적으로 이루어지지 못하여 기계적 성질이 저하되었다. 본 연구에서 적용한 g-BS*를 사용하면, 폴리페닐렌 에테르에 관능기를 도입하여 상용화하는 기존의 방법과 동등한 정도의 물성이 달성될 수 있으며, 자연 색상이 보다 우수한 수지의 제조가 가능함을 확인하였다.

The novel linear- (V-LUM) and cross-type macromonomers (C-VUM) of vinyl-terminated bifunctional polyurethane were synthesized and applied to the dispersion polymerization of styrene and MMA in ethanol. The existence of the vinyl terminal groups and the grafted macromonomer with styrene and PMMA was verified using 1H NMR and 13C NMR. Monodisperse polystyrene (PS) microspheres were successfully obtained above 15 wt % of macromonomer relative to styrene. The macromonomer can efficiently stabilize higher surface area of the particles compared to a conventional stabilizer, PVP. The grafting ratio of the PS calculated from 1H NMR linearly increased up to 0.048 with 20 wt % of the macromonomer and the high molecular weights (501,300 g/mol) of PS with increased glass transition and enhanced thermal stability were obtained. Furthermore, the stable and monodisperse PMMA microspheres having a weight-average diameter of $5.09{\mu}m$ and a good uniformity of 1.01 were obtained with 20 wt% L-VUM. The molecular weight increased, but the size of the PMMA particles decreased with the macromonomer concentration due to the increased stabilizing effect. The molecular weight of the PMMA was approximately two fold higher than that by a conventional PVP. The L-VUM acts as a reactive stabilizer, which gives polyurethane-grafted PS or PMMA with a high molecular weight. In addition, the XPS result showed that the C-PS (PS using the C-VUM) was anchored with a larger amount of PEG than that of the L-PS (PS using the L-VUM) on the particle surface. Thus, the reaction and stabilizing mechanism of the macromonomers for the formation of PS particles is proposed.

In droplet-based microfluidic systems, in-droplet preconcentration of a sample is one of the important prerequisites for biochemical or medical analysis. There have been a few studies on preconcentration in a moving droplet, but they are limited to practical applications since 1) their method are time-consuming or 2) they require specific properties such as electric and magnetic properties. In this study, we demonstrated the position control of polystyrene particles of 5 and $10{\mu}m$ in diameter inside a moving water-in-oil droplet using traveling surface acoustic waves. Since the frequencies for effective control of each diameter were found, microparticles with no labels could be utilized. In addition, the proposed method enabled on-demand preconcentration inside a polydimethylsiloxane microchannel. In-droplet preconcentration of microparticles was realized by splitting a mother droplet with manipulated particles at a downstream bifurcation zone. Given these advantages, the proposed system is a promising acoustofluidic lab-on-a-chip platform for preconcentration inside a droplet.
