A mixture of alcohol and water is commonly used as antifreeze, liquor, and the fundamental solvents for the manufacture of cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, and inks in our daily life. Since various properties of alcohol water mixtures such as density, boiling or melting point, viscosity, and dielectric constant are determined by their mixing ratio, it is very important to know the mixing ratio to predict their properties. One of simple method to find the mixing ratio is measuring the density of the mixtures. However, it is not easy to predict the mixing ratio from the density of the mixtures because the relationship between mixing ratio and density has not been established well. The relationship is dependent on the relative sizes of solute and solvent molecules, and their interactions. Recently, an empirical model to predict the density of glycerol water mixture from their mixing ratio has been introduced. The suggested model is simple but quite accurate for glycerol water mixture. In this article, we investigated the applicability of this model to different alcohol water mixtures. Densities for six different alcohol water mixtures containing various alcohols (e.g., ethylene glycol, 1,3-propane diol, propylene glycol, methanol, ethanol, and 1-propanol) were simulated and compared to experimentally measured ones to investigate the applicability of the model proposed for glycerol water mixtures to other alcohol water mixtures. The model predicted the actual density of all alcohol water mixtures tested in this article with high accuracy at various ratios. This model can probably be used to predict the mixing ratio of other alcohol water mixtures from their densities beyond 6 alcohols tested in this article from their densities.

Solid dispersions were used to increase the dissolution rate of biphenyl dimethyl dicarboxylate (DDB) in water, with the ultimate goal of optimizing its bioavailability when incoporated into pharmaceuticals. Carriers used were Kollidon 30, Kollidon VA 64, 2-hydroxypropyl-${\beta}$-cyclodextrin (HPCD), sodium salicylate or sodium benzoate. DDB solid dispersions were prepared at drug to carrier proportions ranging from 1 : 5 to 1 : 20 (w/w) by solvent evaporation method. DDB tablets (7.5 mg) were prepared by compressing the powder mixture composed of solid dispersions, lactose, corn starch, crospovidone and magnesium stearate using a single-punch press. DDB capsules (7.5 mg) were prepared by filing the mixture into empty hard gelatin capsules (size #1). Dissolution studies of DDB from powdered solid dispersions, tablets and capsules were performed in 900 $m\ell$ of water at 100 rpm and 37$^{\circ}C$ by the paddle method. The dissolved amount was assayed by HPLC and expressed as the mean(%)of three determinations.

Enhancement of the surface hydrophobicity of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) thin films deposited on substrates covered with titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) nanospheres was studied. First, a low-temperature solution-phase method using polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) as a surface capping agent and a water/dimethylformamide (DMF) mixture as the reaction medium was used to synthesize monodisperse $TiO_2$ nanospheres. It was possible to easily control hydrolysis rate of the Ti-precursors and the size of the synthesized nanospheres by varying the amount of PVP and the volume ratio of the solvent mixture. Spray coating of the synthesized $TiO_2$ nanospheres under the PDMS film increased the water contact angle of the film surface to $150.3^{\circ}$. This simple treatment can modify the surface morphology at a nanometer scale without any long or complicated nanoprocess; hence, the surface enters the superhydrophobic Cassie-Baxter regime.

Barrier rib for the plasma display panel (PDP) was made by photolithographic process utilizing photosensitive barrier rib paste. The barrier rib paste was prepared by first dissolving poly(MMA-co-MAA) binder polymer in butyl carbitol(BC) solvent at 15 wt% concentration. To this solution were added a mixture of functional monomers , Irgacure 651 photoinitiator, and barrier rib power and then the whole mixture was dispersed in the three roll mill for 2 hour. The effect of component and concentration of photosensitive barrier rib paste was studied. After optimization of the paste formulation and photolithographic process, barrier rib could be obtained with good resolution up to 110-120 ${\mu}m$ height and 80-90 ${\mu}m$ width.

The nanoscale morphologies on a series of new anthraquinone substitutes have been carried out. Among the substitutes, only bis[2-(1-anthraquinonoxy)-ethyl]ether in a mixture of dichloromethane/acetone (1/1) slowly forms uniform nanowires with 80-120 nm diameters. The same compound in a mixture of dichloromethane/tetrahydrofuran (1/1) slowly produces uniform nanobelts with 400-600 nm widths. Thus, both the spacer lengths and the solvent effects of the compounds are important factors for the formation of nanoscale morphologies. The nano patterns seem to be formed by the π-π interactions between the anthraquinone moieties.

Dielectric relaxation measurements on 3-nitrotoluene (3-NT) mixture of dimethylacetamide (DMA), dimethylformamide (DMF) and dimethysulphoxide (DMSO) have been carried out across the entire concentration range using Time domain reflectometry technique at 15, 25, 35 and $45^{\circ}C$ over the frequency range from 10 MHz to 20 GHz. For all the mixtures, only one dielectric loss peak was observed in this frequency range and the relaxation in these mixtures can be well described by a single relaxation time using Debye model. Bilinear calibration method is used to obtain complex permittivity ${\varepsilon}^{*}({\omega})$ from complex reflection coefficient ${\rho}^{*}({\omega})$ over frequency range 10 MHz to 20 GHz. The excess permittivity, excess inverse relaxation time, Kirkwood correlation factor, molar energy of activation are also calculated for these mixtures to study the solute-solvent interaction.

There are many efforts to improve electrolytes to satisfy the requirements of a lithium rechargeable battery. We have investigated a binary solvent mixture containing the electrolyte lithium salt($LiBF_4$, $LiPF_6$), that is conductive and electrochemically stable. Ionic conductivities were measured between -5 and $80^{\circ}C$, and cyclic voltammetry between 2.5 and 4.3 V were measured by SUS or platinum electrode.

Permalloy soft magnets have been produced by the powder injection molding process. Rheological characteristics of mixtures, debinding conditions, and the magnetic properties of permalloy after sintering have been investigated. A permalloy soft magnet with a permeability of 14200 could be obtained by preparing a mixture with a powder loading of 65.4 vol % and a PP/PEG binder systems solvent extraction, thermal debinding, and subsequent sintering at 1350$\^{C}$ in hydrogen. The permalloy soft magnet sintered in hydrogen had 95% of theoretical density and a magnetic induction of 13.2 kG in an applied magnetic field of 50 Oe.
