We proposed a novel single gap transflective liquid crystal display (LCD) using liquid crystal with negative dielectric anisotropy. We designed cell structure driven by fringe electric field in the transmissive (T) part and vertical electric field in the reflective (R) part. In the device, high surface pretilt angle of the LC in the R-part is achieved through polymerization of an UV curable reactive mesogen (RM) monomer at surfaces. By optimizing the parameters, a newly developed transflective display has characteristics such as single gap and single gamma curve.

A single gap transflective liquid crystal display(LCD) driven by fringe electric field in the transmissive(T) region and vertical electric field in the reflective(R) region was designed. Because the pretilt angle is formed in $53^{\circ}$ through polymerization of an UV curable reactive mesogen(RM) monomer at the surface, the effective cell retardation $(d{\Delta}n_{eff})$ value of the R region becomes half of that in the T region where the LCs are homogenously aligned. Consequently, a transflective display driven by a vertical and fringe electric field with a single cell gap and single gamma curves is realized.

OCB mode has advantages such as fast response time and wide viewing angle. But it has inevitable shortcoming which initial splay state must be changed to bend state. To overcoming this problem, OCB cell filled LC with RM monomer was cured by UV when voltage applied. Through previously mentioned methods, even if electric field is none, bend state was made by stabilized LC director. In this paper, we investigated the electric characteristics of polymer stabilized OCB mode.

In the field of material science, the interests and efforts to modify the surface of materials in agreement with the need of usage have been extensively increasing. he modification to improve the wettability of surface is very important is terms of adhesion, printing, etc. It is very difficult to modify metal surface into hydrophilic one. therefore, surfactant coating has been generally used in many cases. However, surfactant has disadvantages such as environmental problem, soluble in water. in this study, hydrophilic polymer films as alternative of surfactant were deposited on metal substrate by DC plasma polymerization. Hydrophilic polymer films deposited by DC plasma show many merits such as good wettability, stone adhesion to substrate, high resistance to most chemicals. Monomer gas and reactive gas were used as source plasma polymerization. Plasma polymerized films were fabricated with process parameters of deposition time, ratio of gas mixture, current, pressure, etc. Effects of these variables on wettability of plasma polymer films will be discussed. With XPS and FT-IR analyses of plasma polymeric films, the relation between wettability and chemical state of polymer films by DC plasma was investigated.

We have studied the optically compensated splay mode using reactive mesogen (RM) monomer to reduce setting voltage and phase transition time from initial bend to splay state. When the OCS cell has low pretilt angle close to $45^{\circ}C$, OCS state can be formed easily. The low pretilt angle was formed through the polymerization of UV curable reactive RM monomer at the surfaces. In this way, reorientation of the LC is well defined and thus the device shows better performances in setting voltage and phase transition time.

In this study, we investigated the effects of electron beam irradiation on the rheological properties of PLA for enhancing processability. The electron beam was irradiated onto the pure PLA, chemically modified PLA by reactive extrusion, and PLA containing functional monomer. The complex viscosity and log G'vs. log G" plot among dynamic rheological properties were chosen for comparison. The complex viscosity of irradiated pure and chemically modified PLA decreased significantly due to de-gradation of PLA molecules with increasing the E-beam dosages. Complex viscosity of irradiated PLA with functional monomer showed maximum value at moderate dosage, while at high dosage the complex viscosity was decreased by a prolonged irradiation.

A commercialized biobased and biodegradable poly(lactic acid)(PLA) containing the functional monomer of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) was chemically modified using reactive extrusion to enhance its melt strength. Modified PLAs were prepared with various contents of GMA and initiator, and were characterized by observing their gel fraction, thermal properties, melt viscoelasticity and biodegradability. The complex viscosity and storage modulus of chemically modified PLA with the initiator alone was increased by addition of initiator and were more increased in the presence of GMA. There was a optimum content of GMA showing the maximum complex viscosity with the amount of initiator. The biodegradebility of modified PLA was slightly decreased by addition of GMA.

In order to create a single flocculant/dual flocculation system, polyacrylamide-co-trimethyl ammonium ethyl acrylate chloride (TAEAC) polymers with varying molecular weights and structures were prepared for use of flocculants. The higher the cationic density of the polymer is higher, the higher was the conversion rate and the ratio of monomer. An acrylamide as nonionic monomer was less reactive than a TAEAC as cationic monomer. The branched polymer which was polymerized with a cross-linking agent, N, N-methylene bis-acrylamide had a higher stability and higher viscosity than a linear polymer but its dewatering efficiency was poor in a single flocculation system. In the case of single flocculant/dual flocculation, the branched polymer has better flocculation efficiency and the water content of the dewatered cakes was lower than the others, as the result of a re-flocculation effect. The optimum conditions for dual flocculation are a sequence in which the $1^{st}$ and $2^{nd}$ dosage are 75% and 25%/total dosage of a single flocculation system. The dewatering efficiency of a dual flocculation system is improved considerably from 10 to 25% under the experimental conditions used herein.

Background: Resin-based dental materials release residual monomers or other substances from incomplete polymerization into the oral cavity, thereby causing adverse biological effects on oral tissue. 10-Methacryloyloxydecyl dihydrogen phosphate (10-MDP), an acidic monomer containing dihydrogen phosphate and methacrylate groups, is the most commonly used component of resin-based dental materials, such as restorative composite resins, dentin adhesives, and resin cements. Although previous studies have reported the cytotoxicity and biocompatibility in various cultured cells, the effects of resin monomers on cellular aging have not been reported to date. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the effects of the resin monomer 10-MDP on cellular senescence and inflamm-aging in vitro. Methods: After stimulation with 10-MDP, MC3T3-E1 osteoblast-like cells were examined for cell viability by WST-8 assay and reactive oxygen species (ROS) production by flow cytometry. The protein and mRNA levels of molecular markers of aging were determined by western blotting and RT-PCR analysis, respectively. Results: Treatment with 0.05 to 1 mM 10-MDP for 24 hours reduced the survival of MC3T3-E1 cells in a concentration-dependent manner. The intracellular ROS levels in the 10-MDP-treated experimental group were significantly higher than those in the control group. 10-MDP at a concentration of 0.1 mM increased p53, p16, and p21 protein levels. Additionally, an aging pattern was observed with blue staining due to intracellular senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity. Treatment with 10-MDP increased the levels of tumor necrosis factor-α, interleukin (IL)-1β, IL-6 and IL-8, however their expression was decreased by mitogen-activated-protein-kinase (MAPK) inhibitors. Conclusion: Taken together, these results suggest that the exposure of osteoblast-like cells to the dental resin monomer 10-MDP, increases the level of cellular senescence and the inflammatory response is mediated by the MAPK pathway.

Crosslinked PI films were synthesized from 4,4'-(hexafluoro isopropylidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) and bis[4-(3-aminophenoxy) phenyl] sulfone(BAPS) with various ratios of the reactive monomer cis-4-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride(CDBA). We prepared crosslinked poly(amic acid) (PAA) using a 0.1 wt% Grubbs catalyst as a crosslinking agent. The crosslinked PAA was heat-treated at different temperatures to give PI films. The thermo-mechanical properties and optical transparency of the PI films were investigated. The thermal properties of the PI films were examined using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry(DSC), thermogravimetric analysis(TGA), thermo-mechanical analysis(TMA), and universal tensile machine(UTM), and their optical transparencies were investigated using UV-vis. spectrophotometry. The thermomechanical properties of the PI films improved with increasing CDBA content. However, the optical transparency of the PI films decreased slightly with increasing CDBA content.
