연구에서는 aminopropyl trimethoxysilane (APTMS)과 aminopropyl triethoxysilane (APTES)를 비스페놀계 에폭시 수지와 각각 반응시켜서 2가지 종류의 epoxy-functionalized alkoxysilane (EAS)을 합성하였다. 합성된 EAS를 다양한 혼합비로 3-glycidyloxypropyl trimethoxysilane (GPTMS)과 tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS)와 혼합하고 hydrolysis-polycondensation 반응을 통해서 졸 상태의 실리카/에폭시 나노하이브리드 물질을 제조하였다. 제조된 나노 하이브리드 졸은 투명한 노란색이며 다양한 유기 용매와 상용성을 나타내었다. 경화제(TETA와 acrylic acid)와 나노 하이브리드 졸과 반응을 통해서 경화필름이 얻어졌으며, 나노 하이브리드 경화 필름은 순수 에폭시 수지 경화 필름에 비해서 높은 내열성과 기계적 물성을 나타내었다. TEM과 AFM 측정 결과, 나노 크기의 실리카 입자들이 경화된 하이브리드 필름 내에 생성, 분산되어있는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

The garnets $Nd_{1-x}Bi_xY_2Fe_5O_{12}$ ($\chi$=0.0, 0.25, 0.5, 0.75 and 1.0) have been studied by x-rays, electron microscopy, ferromagnetic resonance, vibrating sample magnetometer and Mossbauer spectroscopy, Ultra-fine polycrystalline cubic samples have been prepared by a melt-salt routed sol-gel method. The Mossbauer spectra consist of two sets of six-line patterns corresponding to $Fe^{3+}$ at the tetrahedral 24(d) and octahedral 16(a) sites. Magnetic hyperfine fields of $Nd_{0.5}Bi_{0.5}Y_2Fe_5O_{12}$ at 12 K are found to be 548 kOe (octahedral site) and 475 kOe (tetrahedral site), respectively, It is found that Debye temperatures for the tetrahedral and octahedral sites of $Nd_{0.75}Bi_{0.25}Y_2Fe_5O_{12}$ are $\theta_{tet}=436$ K and $\theta_{oct}=285$ K, respectively, The iron ions at both sites are highly covalent ferric. The Nel temperature decreases linearly with Bi concentration, from 630 K fur $\chi$=0.0 to 600 K for $\chi$=1.0, suggesting that the superexchange interaction for the Nd-O-Fe link is stronger than that for the Bi-O-Fe link. As a consequence, the coercivity of $Nd_{1-x}Bi_xY_2Fe_5O_{12}$ drastically decreases and the magnetization remains almost constant as x increases.

In the present study, vanadium oxide($V_2O_5$) films for electrochromic(EC) application are fabricated using sol-gel spin coating method. In order to optimize the EC performance of the $V_2O_5$ films, we adjust the amounts of polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) added to the solution at 0, 5, 10, and 15 wt%. Due to the effect of added PVP on the $V_2O_5$ films, the obtained films show increases of film thickness and crystallinity. Compared to other samples, optimum weight percent(10 wt%) of PVP led to superior EC performance with transmittance modulation(45.43 %), responding speeds(6.0 s at colored state and 6.2 s at bleached state), and coloration efficiency($29.8cm^2/C$). This performance improvement can be mainly attributed to the enhanced electrical conductivity and electrochemical activity due to the increased crystallinity and thickness of the $V_2O_5$ films. Therefore, $V_2O_5$ films fabricated with optimized amount of PVP can be a promising EC material for high-performance EC devices.

This study aims to evaluate the effects of the root bark of Morus alba (RMA) on the regulation of the Hippo-YAP pathway. Hippo-YAP signaling is a critical regulator in controlling organ size and tissue homeostasis. Hippo, the serine/threonine kinase phosphorylate the LATS. Phosphorylated LATS then phosphorylates and inactivates the YAP and TAZ, which are two closely related transcriptional co-activator. Here we report RMA activates the Hippo signaling, thereby inhibits the YAP/TAZ activity. First, we examine the cytotoxic effects of RMA by MTT assay. RMA was cytotoxic at concentrations higher than $50{\mu}g/ml$ in HEK293A cells. The reporter gene assay was performed to measure the activity of TEAD, a key transcription factor that controls cell growth and proliferation. RMA significantly suppressed the luciferase activity. By phos-taq gel shift assay, and western blotting, we showed that RMA enhanced the phosphorylation of YAP in wild type cells, but not in LATS1/2 knock out cells, which means RMA activates classical Hippo pathway. RMA induced the cytoplasmic sequestration of YAP. RMA also suppressed the mRNA expression of CTGF and CYR61; the two major YAP dependent genes. Taken together, RMA is considered to be a good candidate for proliferative disease such as cancer, by facilitating cell death through activating the Hippo signaling pathway.

Background: Rutin is decomposed by rutin-degrading enzymes (RDE) during the processing of buckwheat groats, resulting in a decrease in rutin content and a further increase in the bitterness of processed products. Thus, the present study aimed to examine RDE activity in groats and various tissues of domestic buckwheat varieties and to develop a method to reduce the loss of rutin during the groat processing. Methods and Results: RDE activity and isozymes patterns were determined in Tartary and common buckwheat. RDE activity, measured by quercetin production rate, was 273 and $70{\mu}g/g$ fresh weight/min in mature Tartary and common buckwheat groats, respectively. A total of six RDE isozymes were detected in mature groats of Tartary buckwheat on a non-denaturing gel. In Tartary buckwheat groats, RDE activity decreased by approximately 81 or 71% with roasting or steaming for 5 min respectively. As the roasting or steaming time increased to 30 min, RDE activity decreased by over 95%. These results indicated that RDE was inactivated in groats by roasting or steaming. When untreated Tartary buckwheat groats were kneaded with powder, RDE was activated and the quercetin production rate increased by 62%. However, when roasted groats were kneaded with powder, the quercetin production rate decreased by 93%, mainly due mainly to inactivation of RDE, as indicated by a decrease in band intensities of the six isozymes. Conclusions: These results suggested that the loss of rutin, due to RDE activity during processing, may be reduced by 71 to 100% by roasting or steaming groats for 5 to 30 min, due in large part to the inactivation of RDE isozymes.

As automation systems become more common, there is growing interest in functional labeling systems using organic and inorganic hybrid materials. Especially, the demand for thermally and chemically stable labeling paper that can be used in a high temperature environment above $300^{\circ}C$ and a strong acid and base atmosphere is increasing. In this study, a composite coating solution for the development of labeling paper with excellent thermal and chemical stability is prepared by mixing a silica inorganic binder and titanium dioxide. The silica inorganic binder is synthesized using a sol-gel process and mixed with titanium dioxide to improve whiteness at high-temperature. Adhesion between the polyimide substrate and the coating layer is secured and the surface properties of the coating layer, including the thermal and chemical stability, are investigated in detail. The effects of the coating solution dispersion on the surface properties of the coating layer are also analyzed. Finally, it is confirmed that the developed functional labeling paper showed excellent printability.

본 연구에서는 이산화티타늄을 솔-젤 방법으로 제조하고 간단한 열처리를 통하여 제조된 이산화티타늄의 물리화학적 특성을 조절하였다. 이들을 메틸렌블루 광분해 반응에 적용한 결과, 473 K에서 열처리한 촉매가 가장 높은 광분해 효율을 보여주었다. 이는 473 K에서 열처리한 촉매가 가장 높은 비표면적($229.8m^2/g$)을 가지고 있고, 이로 인해 메틸렌블루의 흡착이 많이 일어났기 때문인 것으로 보인다. 한편 873 K에서 열처리한 촉매는 낮은 비표면적($23.8m^2/g$) 및 큰 입자 크기(28.38 nm)에도 불구하고 비교적 높은 광촉매 효율을 보여주는데, 이는 고온 열처리로 인한 형성된 rutile 상과 기존의 anatase상의 혼합효과에 기인한 것으로 보인다.

The surface-to-volume ratio of one-dimensional (1D) semiconductor metal-oxide sensors is an important factor for achieving good gas sensing properties because it offers a wide response area. To exploit this effect, in this study, we determined the optimal calcination temperature to maximize the specific surface area and thereby the sensitivity of the sensor. The $In_2O_3$ nanorods were synthesized by using vapor-liquid-solid growth of $In_2O_3$ powders and were decorated with the Pt nanoparticles by using a sol-gel method. Subsequently, the Pt nanoparticle-decorated $In_2O_3$ nanorods were calcined at different temperatures to determine the optimal calcination temperature. The $NO_2$ gas sensing properties of five different samples (pristine uncalcined $In_2O_3$ nanorods, Pt-decorated uncalcined $In_2O_3$ nanorods, and Pt-decorated $In_2O_3$ nanorods calcined at 400, 600, and $800^{\circ}C$) were determined and compared. The Pt-decorated $In_2O_3$ nanorods calcined at $600^{\circ}C$ showed the highest surface-to-volume ratio and the strongest response to $NO_2$ gas. Moreover, these nanorods showed the shortest response/recovery times toward $NO_2$. These enhanced sensing properties are attributed to a combination of increased surface-to-volume ratio (achieved through the optimal calcination) and increased electrical/chemical sensitization (provided by the noble-metal decoration).

Ni-Cr-Al metal-foam-supported catalysts for steam methane reforming (SMR) are manufactured by applying a catalytic Ni/Al₂O₃ sol-gel coating to powder alloyed metallic foam. The structure, microstructure, mechanical stability, and hydrogen yield efficiency of the obtained catalysts are evaluated. The structural and microstructural characteristics show that the catalyst is well coated on the open-pore Ni-Cr-Al foam without cracks or spallation. The measured compressive yield strengths are 2-3 MPa at room temperature and 1.5-2.2 MPa at 750℃ regardless of sample size. The specimens exhibit a weight loss of up to 9-10% at elevated temperature owing to the spallation of the Ni/Al₂O₃ catalyst. However, the metal-foam-supported catalyst appears to have higher mechanical stability than ceramic pellet catalysts. In SMR simulations tests, a methane conversion ratio of up to 96% is obtained with a high hydrogen yield efficiency of 82%.
