The $\pi$-complex membranes of poly(styrene-b-(ethylene-co-butylene)-b-styrene) (SEBS) of two silver salts of $AgBF_4$ and $AgCF_3SO_3$ were prepared and tested for the separation of the propylene/propane mixtures. The Fourier-transform infrared (FT-IR) spectra of these complexes showed that the silver salts were dissolved in SEBS up to a silver mole fraction of 0.14, due to $\pi$-complexation between the aromatic C=C bonds of styrene blocks and silver ions. Above this solubility limit, ion pairs and high-order ionic aggregates began to form, so that silver salts were distributed unselectively in both the EB and PS blocks. The domain size of the PS blocks was enlarged up to this critical concentration with increasing silver concentration without structural transitions, as confirmed by small angle x-ray scattering (SAXS). These structural properties of the SEBS/silver salt complexes may explain the lower separation properties for propylene/propane mixtures compared to poly(styrene-b-butadiene-b-styrene)(SBS)/silver salt complex membranes.

A yeast strain utilizing styrene epoxide as a sole carbon and energy source was isolated from soil samples for the production of enantiopure of styrene epoxide by kinetic resolution. The strain, identified as a Rhodosporidium toruloides SJ-4, expressed an epoxide hydrolase which preferentially converted (R)-styrene epoxide into the corresponding diol. A maximum activity of 135 U/L was observed when biomass (dry cell mass) reached 6.7 g/L at 21 h of batch culture. Under the partially optimized reaction conditions ($35^{\circ}C$ and pH 8.0), the optically pure (S)-styrene epoxide was obtained with the yield of 21% when the initial substrate concentration was 100 mM. The reaction was completed at 9 h.

We analyzed sytrene concentrations in air and in blood, mandelic acid in urine, and chromosome aberrations in peripheral lymphocytes of twenty one styrene-exposed workers in two reinforced plastic factories. In addition, in vitro testing for chromosome aberration was carried out. The dose-dependent clastogenicity of styrene was confirmed in the cultured Chinese hamster lung cell(CHL) with metabolic activation. The environmental styrene concentrations and urinary mandelic acid levels of analyzed subjects were different in two plants examined, but the exposure levels in most workers examined were lower than the permissible exposure levels. Chromosome aberrations of the styrene exposed workers showed no increase in the percentage of aberrant cells as compared with the control group. No correlation was found between the exposure levels and the frequencies of chromosome aberrations in workers.

스티렌 함량이 SBR 가황물의 회복 거동에 미치는 영향에 대해 연구하였다. 스티렌 함량이 15와 21 wt%인 SBR을 사용하였다. 스티렌 함량이 적은 가황물이 스티렌 함량이 많은 가황물에 비해 더 낮은 온도에서 회복하기 시작하였으며, 스티렌 함량이 적은 가황물의 회복 속도가 스티렌 함량이 많은 가황물보다 느렸다. 두 가황물 간의 회복 차이는 카본블랙으로 보강된 가황물이 실리카로 보강된 것보다 컸다. 실험 결과는 유리전이온도와 모듈러스로 설명하였다.

In this study, a crosslinked poly(styrene-butadiene-styrene) [SBS] block copolymers were prepared by using gamma ray irradiation method. The effects of various radiation doses on the degree of crosslinking, thermo property, and morphology of crosslinked SBS block copolymer were investigated. The degree of crosslinking of crosslinked SBS block copolymers were measured by gel-fraction and FT-IR. It was found that the degree of crosslinking of crosslinked SBS block copolymers increases with increase of the irradiation dose while the TGA result shows that the initial degradation temperature of irradiated SBS block copolymer was shifted to lower temperature with increasing irradiation dose. These results indicate that degradation reaction also occurs when SBS block copolymer is exposed to gamma ray irradiation for crosslinking reaction. The SAXS and FE-SEM results indicate that the phase separation of the styrene block and butadiene block was reduced with increasing irradiation dose.

본 연구에서는 유기소자의 절연박막을 습식 공정이 아닌 건식 공정인 플라즈마 중합법을 이용하여 Styrene 유기물을 사용하여 절연박막을 제작하였다. 안정적인 플라즈마 형성을 위해 버블러와 써큐레이터를 활용하여 정량적인 모노머 주입을 가능하게 하였다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마 중합된 Styrene 박막을 30, 60 nm 터널링층으로 활용하였고, Styrene 절연층의 두께를 430 nm, Au 메모리층의 두께를 7 nm, 활성층의 두께를 40 nm, 소스와 드레인 전극의 두께를 50 nm로 유기 메모리 소자를 제작하여 특성을 평가하였다. 40/-40 V의 double sweep시 45 V의 히스테리시스 전압을 얻을 수 있었고, 이는 MMA를 터널링층으로 활용한 유기 메모리 소자의 히스테리시스 전압이 27 V인 것과 비교하였을 때 60% 상승한 효과로 히스테리시스 전압이 18 V 이상 높은 결과이다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 플라즈마 중합된 Styrene 유기 박막의 높은 전하 포집 특성을 활용하여 전체층을 유기 재료로 제작한 유연한 메모리 소자의 응용 가능성을 기대한다.

기존 바이오필터 기술의 문제점인 불안정한 VOCs 제거효율을 개선하기 위하여 미생물을 고분자물질에 고정화시킨 새로운 담체를 개발하였으며, styrene을 대상으로 개발된 담체의 특성을 실험적으로 조사하였다. 복합고분자담체는 천연고분자물질인 alginate와 인공고분자물질인 polyvinyl alcohol(PVA) 혼합액에 분말활성탄과 고농도 미생물 배양액을 배합하여 3 mm 크기의 구형으로 제조하였다. 회부실험 결과 제조된 복합고분자담체는 활성탄의 흡착능력이나 미생물의 생분해속도의 감소 없이 대상 VOC인 styrene을 빠른 속도로 저감할 수 있었다. 복합고분자담체를 적용한 바이오필터 장기운전 실험에서는 유입부하량 $245g/m^3/hr$에서도 95% 이상의 styrene 분해능을 나타내어, 문헌에 제시된 기존 바이오필터의 styrene 최대분해능을 초과하였다. 오염물질이 고농도로 단기간 유입되는 조건에서도 고정화된 활성미생물에 의한 생분해반응과 함께 담체에 첨가된 분말활성탄의 흡착반응에 의해 오염물질이 효과적으로 제어되었으며, 오염물질 유입농도가 낮아진 후에 활성탄에 흡착된 styrene이 미생물에 의해 분해됨을 확인하였다. 결과적으로 활성탄과 미생물을 고분자물질로 고정화하여, 활성탄의 단점(장기간 사용하기 위해서는 재생이 필요)과 미생물반응의 단점(변동부하에 처리효율이 낮음)을 동시에 최소화시켰으며, 생물학적 VOCs 저감효과를 극대화시킬 수 있었다.

Rhodotorula glutinis epoxide hydrolase (EH) 유전자를 pPICZ vector에 이중발현 cassette로 재조합하여 발현시킨 재조합균주 Pichia pastoris를 제작하였으며 라세믹 styrene oxide 혼합물로부터 고순도 광학활성 (S)-styrene oxide를 제조하는데 사용하였다. 본 연구에서 사용된 R. glutinis EH 유전자는 전보에서 사용한 pPICZ B/RgEH plasmid DNA를 주형으로 하여 얻었으며 PCR 방법으로 BglII 제한자리를 돌연변이 시키고 AOX1 promoter $(P_{AOX1})$-RgEH 유전자-전사종결서열($TT_{AOX1}$)을 이중으로 가진 이중발현 cassette를 만들어 P. pastoris의 염색체 DNA에 삽입시켰다. 반응온도를 $30^{\circ}C$로 하였을 때, RgEH를 이중발현 cassette로 발현시킨 재조합균주 P. pastoris의 (R)-styrene oxide에 대한 $V_{max}$ 값은 $2.2{\mu}mol\;min^{-1} (mg\;dcw)^{-1}$으로 단일발현 cassette로 발현시킨 P. pastoris의 $0.4{\mu}mol\;min^{-1}(mg\;dcw)^{-1}$에 비하여 6배 향상되었다. 광학순도가 높은 (S)-styrene oxide를 제조하는 최적조건을 찾기 위하여 입체선택적 가수분해 속도 및 수율에 미치는 detergent 및 온도의 효과를 실험하였으며, Tween 20을 0.5% 첨가하고 $10^{\circ}C$로 반응시킨 경우 10분 반응을 통해 99.9% ee 이상의 고순도 (S)-styrene oxide를 43.4% 얻을 수 있었다.

After reported that Styrene dimer and Styrene trimer was Endocrine Disrupter, if it was a fact or not, the sales of PSP noodle cup was rapidly decreased and social responsibilities of the substitution materials development was raised. Therefore we had studied many materials like paper, pulp mold, PP injection molding, PP lamination, etc as substitution materials and selected paper cup which was safe in many sides and easy to recycle. Mainly we had checked the shape, safety, stability and recycling possibility of paper cup and secured many data which could prove them.

The objective of the survey is to define and judge exposure profiles semi-qualitative data in high risk processes using styrene. The survey was conducted on 98 factories out of 229 factories based on data from periodic working environment monitoring for styrene. Styrene is widely utilized as a raw material for PS and co-polymers such as ABS, SAN, SBR, SBL, unsaturated polyester resins(UPR) and others. An approximate breakdown of styrene's markets in Korea is PS 30%, expandable PS 17%, ABS 33%, SAN 5%, SBL 4%, SBR 3%, UPR 1% and other 7%. Although UPR accounts for 1% of total amount of styrene, workers dealing with it are exposed to very high concentrations up to 64 ppm. Especially styrene is widely used in the laminating process of fiberglass reinforced plastics(FRP) manufacturing industry. The Applications using styrene are largely classified into two sections which are applied to styrene monomer(SM) and UPR. SM is utilized for a raw material of resins, surfactant and adhesive. UPR is employed for FRP and non-FRP. For SM control targets are mixing colors and packing in the gelcoat resins manufacturing industry(MI), for UPR control targets out of works using UPR are 1) laminating in the MI of plastics, automobile parts and boats, 2) mixing and packing in the SMC/BMC MI, 3) molding and cutting in the other specific plastics MI, 4) mixing and coating in artificial marble product MI, 5) dipping in the electric motors & transformers MI, 6) molding in the button MI, 7) painting in the musical instrument MI. Findings from the study have given the information for the high risk processes and working practices so that occupational health professionals could focus on targeted workplaces to prevent occupational diseases. It is also useful to develop a control strategies and specific controls for high risk processes and facilities using styrene.
