A series of hydroxyl-group containing polyimides (HPIs) were prepared in order to investigate the structure-gas permeation property relationship. Each polymer membrane had structural characteristics that varied according to the dianhydride monomers. The imidization processes were monitored using spectroscopic and thermog-ravimetric analyses. The single gas permeability of He, $H_2$, $CO_2$, $O_2$, $N_2$ and $CH_4$ were measured and compared in order to determine the effect of the polymer structure and functional -OH groups on the gas transport properties. Surprisingly, the ideal selectivity of $CO_2/CH_4$ and $H_2/CH_4$ increased with increasing level of -OH incorporation, which affected the diffusion of $H_2$ or the solubility of $CO_2$ in HPIs. For $H_2/CH_4$ separation, the difference in the diffusion coefficients of $H_2$ and $CH_4$ was the main factor for improving the performance without showing any changes in the solubility coefficients. However, the solubility coefficient of $CO_2$ in the HPIs increased at least four fold compared with the conventional polyimide membranes depending on the polymer structures. Based on these results, the polymer membranes modified with -OH groups in the polymer backbone showed favorable gas permeation and separation performance.

Thermodynamics of carbon in manganese alloy melts is important in manufacturing low carbon ferromanganese and silico-manganese alloys. In order to predict the carbon solubility in liquid $Mn-Si-Fe-C_{sat}$ alloys as a function of melt composition and temperature, thermodynamic interactions among carbon, silicon and iron in carbon saturated liquid manganese should be known. In the present study, the effects of silicon and iron on the carbon solubility in Mn-Si, Mn-Fe and Mn-Si-Fe melts were measured in the temperature range from 1673 to 1773 K. The carbon solubility decreases significantly as silicon and iron contents increase in liquid manganese alloy. The interaction parameters among carbon, silicon and iron in carbon saturated liquid manganese were determined from the carbon solubility data and the Lupis' relation for the interaction coefficient at constant activity.

본 연구에서는 한 가지 염으로 포화된 수용액에 다른 염을 녹이면 얼마나 녹을 것인가에 대한 초-중등 학생들과 교사들의 이해 정도가 낮은 이유를 알아보기 위하여 중등학교 교과서와 대학교 교재의 서술 내용을 조사하였다. 그 결과 중등학교 교과서와 대학교 일반화학 교재에서는 다른 염의 존재 여부와 상관없이 용해도는 일정함을 전제로 서술하고 있었으며, 대학교 물리화학 교재에서는 다른 염의 존재에 의해 용해도가 달라짐을 직접 언급하거나 이를 알 수 있는 내용이 서술되어 있었다. 그러나 물리화학을 이수한 사범대학 4학년 학생들을 대상으로 조사해본 결과 학생들의 대부분이 이러한 용해도 변화에 대한 설명을 하지 못하였다. 따라서 교사나 예비 교사들의 의문을 해소하기 위해 이온쌍 형성과 이온 세기 변화에 따른 용해도의 변화를 설명하고, 실제 실험 결과도 하나 제시하였다. 하지만 중등학교에서는 활동도 개념의 도입이 어려우므로 두 가지 염이 동시에 용해될 때의 용해도를 어떻게 가르칠지에 대한 논의가 필요한 것으로 생각된다.

Physicochemical properties of aspalatone (acetylsalicylic acid maltol ester, AM), which has been recently found to have an antithrombotic effect, were studied in terms of solubility, dissolution, partition coefficient (Pc) and stability. The solubility of AM at 37$^{\circ}C$ was about 1.2 mg/ml and the P$_{c}$ value for n-octanol/water and chloroform/water was 11.4 and 382.6, respectively. Dissolution rates of AM at pH 1.2 and 6.8 were more than 80% within 30 min. The degradation of AM followed apparent first-order kinetics, and was dependent on temperature, pH and ionic strength. From the pH-rate profile, the optimal pH was found to be at around 4.0. Half-lives at pH 1.2 and 6.8 were 33.5 and 44.4 hr, respectively. The degradation rate of AM at pH 1.2 was somewhat faster than that of aspirin, but at pH 7.0, the degradation rate of AM was slower than that of aspirin.n.

Migration behavior of selected solvents and food samples showed differences of the chemical structures and polarities, the food samples which have similar polar expresses more higher affinity than different polar degrees. Water which is polar has a highest partitioning coefficient values on polar isopropanol, and oil which is nonpolar has highest partitioning value on non-polar toluene. The increasing order of partitioning values was accord with increasing water contents in food samples. It is showed that the wheat flour with 13.2% moisture content has the highest partitioning coefficient values on the isopropanol with -OH. Kp value of sugar showed remarkable lower partitioning coefficient values than other food samples due to high degree crystallinity. This phenomenon can be predictable with ${\delta}$ values, because order of partitioning coefficient values which comes out through the experiment and the sequence of Hildebrand solubility parameter value difference between food sample and printing ink solvent correspond almost. This Hildebrand solubility parameter value can be easily applied to the food package industry because the effect of food-safety can be considered without passing through complicated steps by using this method.

One of the methods to increase the solubility of a drug is to use complexation with a cyclodextrin. Due to the hydrophobic nature of the interior cavity of the cyclodextrin, it has been known that undissociated lipophilic drugs can be included within the cyclodextrin by hydrophobic interaction. Recently, inclusion of hydrophilic or dissociated form of a drug has been investigated. In this study, the synergism of pH and complexation with $hydroxypropy-{\beta}-cyclodextrin\;(HP\;{\beta}\;CD)$ to increase the solubility of two oxicam derivatives was investigated. In addition, the effect of partition coefficient of dissociated and undissociated form of the drug on the extent of complexation with HP ${\beta}$ CD was studied. The solubility was measured by equilibrium solubility method. The solubility of tenoxicam and piroxicam increased exponentially with an increase in solution pH above the pKa of the drug in the presence and absence of HP ${\beta}$ CD. The solubility of the drugs increased linearly as a function of HP ${\beta}CD$ concentration at fixed pH. Although the stability constant of ionized species is less than that of the unionized species, the concentration of the ionized drug complex is greater than that of the unionized drug complex due to higher concentration of ionized species at pH 7.3.

The physicochemical properties of aloesin, which has been recently found to reduce renal toxicity induced by cis-platin, were studied including solubility, partition coefficient ( $P_{c}$ ), osmolality, and stability. The solubility of aloesin was about 500 mg/mι, and the $P_{c}$ value for n-octanol/water was 1.01 $\pm$ 0.03. The degradation of aloesin followed the pseudo-first-order kinetics and was dependent on temperature, pH and ionic strength. From the pH-rate profile, the optimal pH was found to be 2.0~3.0. Some metal ions increased the degradation rate in the rank order of M $n^{2+}$ ＞ F $e^{3+}$ ＞ C $u^{2+}$ ＞ F $e^{2+}$. On the other hand, other metal ions such as B $i^{3+}$, $Ba^{2+}$, Z $n^{2+}$, N $i^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ did not show the unfavorable effects. After autoclaving, aloesin contents remaining were 81.8~98.8% of initial concentrations depending on pH. The most stable pH was 3.98 in the autoclaving. Osmolality increased linearly as concentration increased.sed.creased.sed.

The gas permeation performance of commercially available polyetherimide (Ultem$\^$/) is simulated by means of molecular dynamics methods. By the observation of trajectory, long distance hopping of gas molecules is needed to transverse from top to bottom of membrane. Two possibilities mechanism of diffusion phenomena through glassy polymers can be issued. Diffusion coefficients were calculated by Einstein relation equation. In solubility simulation, the value of the constants C'$\_$H/ and b for O$_2$ at 300 K were calculated. The diffusion and solubility coefficient of He for PEI were simulated in this simulation work. the permeability coefficient is 9.88 Barrer. This value is closed to experimental value of 9.4 Barrer.

Percutaneous absorption and model membrane variations of melationin (MT) in aqueous-based propylene glycol and $2-hydroxypropyl-{\beta}-cyclodextrin $vehicles were investigatted. the excised hairless mouse skin (HMS) and two synthetic ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) and microporous polyethylene (MPE) were selected as a model membrane. the solubility of MT was determined by phase equilibrium study. the vertical $Franz{\circledR}$ type cell was used for diffusion study. The concentration of MT was determined using reverse phse HPLC system. The MT solubility was the highest in a mixture of PG and $2-HP{\beta}CD$. The percutaneous absorption of MT through excised HMS increased as the solubility increased. However, the permeability coefficient decreased and then slightly increased in mixture of PG and $2-HP{\beta}CD$. On the other hand, both flux and permeability coefficient through EVA membrane decreased as the solubility increased. No MT was detected over 12 h after starting diffusion through MPE membrane. The flux of MT was dependent on the type of membrane selected. Flux of MT was greatest in excised HMS followed by EBA and MPE membrane. Flux of MT through EVA membrane was 5-20 times lower when compared to excised HMS. Interestingly, volumes of donor phase when MPE membrane was used, significantly increased during the study period. the HMS might be applicable to expect plasma concentration of MT in human subjects based on flux and pharmacokinetic parameters as studied previously. the current studies may be applied to deliver MT transdermally using aqueous-based vehicles and to fabricate MT dosage forms.

Oxygen equilibrium and the solubility of MgO have been measured in the $CaO-Fe_tO-MgO-SiO_2({\leq}5mass%)-{\Sigma}M_xO_y$ slag in equilibrium with liquid iron in the temperature range of 1550 to $1700^{\circ}C$. The effect of oxides on the MgO solubility, and a method for calculating the solubility of MgO using slag composition and temperature,were discussed. The solubility of MgO is increased with increasing temperature and $Fe_tO$ content, and with decreasing basicity (C/S). The effect of ${\Sigma}M_xO_y$ on the solubility of MgO is a dilution effect due to the increase in slag volume. The activity and activity coefficient of $Fe_tO$ decreased with increasing basicity (B). The effect of temperature on the activity was negligible. The value of ${\rho}=Fe^{3+}/Fe^{2+}$ increased with the increase of the slag basicity (B") and the decrease of the $Fe_tO$ content in the slag.
