The thermal degradation of ABS in the presence of iron-based metal catalysts has been studied by thermogravimetric analysis (TGA). The reaction of iron-based metal catalysts (ferric nitrate nonahydrate, ammonium ferric sulfate dodecahydrate, iron sulfate hydrate, ammonium ferric oxalate, iron(II) acetate, iron(II) acetylacetonate and ferric chloride) with ABS has been found to occur during the thermal degradation of ABS. In a nitrogen atmosphere, char formation was observed, and at $600^{\circ}C$ approximately 3~23 wt% of the reaction product was non-volatile char. The resulting enhancement of char formation in a nitrogen atmosphere has been primarily due to the catalytic crosslinking effect of iron-based metal catalysts. On the other hand, char formation of ABS in air at high temperature by iron-based metal catalyst was unsuccessful due to the oxidative degradation of the char.

In this study, hardening characteristics and microstructure of blast furnace slag-cement mortar replaced alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate were analyzed. As a result of replacing alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate with 0, 10, 20, 30%, it was confirmed that the initial and final setting times are faster than that of blast furnace slag-cement mortar. The compressive strength of the specimens containing alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate decreased in the range of 42 ~ 76% at age 28 days compared with blast furnace slag-cement mortar. In the case of replacing the alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate, the shrinkage did not occur more rapidly than the cement mortar, but the slope of the strain curve showed a linear behavior. The results of scanning electron microscopy images analysis showed that the formation of ettringite was increased at alpha-calcium sulfate hemihydrate replaced mortar.

This paper presents a detailed experimental study on the sulfate resistance of specimens made with portland cement exposed to sulfate attack. The mortar specimens were immersed in a 5% sodium sulfate solution for 360 days and regularly monitored for visual damage, compressive strength loss and expansion. In addition, at the end of 360 days, the products of sulfate attack and the mechanism of attack were investigated through X-ray diffraction, TG&DSC and scanning electron microscopy. The test results indicated that the sulfate deterioration data was ordinary portland cement > sulfate resistance portland cement > low heat portland cement. The microstructural studies indicated that the main reaction product of deterioration of the mortar specimens was the formation of ettringite, gypsum and thaumasite due to sulfate attack. For portland cement matrices, a low heat cement matrix containing the lowest C3A and silicate ratio (C/S) was beneficient against the sulfate attack.

This study was designed to observe the effects of various concentration of polyacrylic acid containing different concentration of sulfate ion on the crystal formation on the enamel surface. Experimental crystal growth solutions were made of $10\%,\;20\%,\;30\%\;and\;40\%$ polyacrylic acid(molecular weight,5,000) solutions which containing 0.1M, 0.2M, 0.3M, 0.5M, and 1.0M sulfate ion respectively. The extracted human first bicuspid enamel surface was contacted for n seconds with these solutions, washed for 15 seconds, dried, and then the crystal topography on the enamel surface was observed under the scanning electron microscope. The crystal topography were evaluated on the SEM photographs by degree of crystal coverage, crystal length, and consistency of crystal morphology, and conclusions were as the follows. 1. Polyacrylic acid solution etched slightly the enamel surface, and the difference of etching effect by its concentration was not observed. 2. The effect of concentration of polyacrylic acid on the crystal formation was less, especially that of $20\%\~40\%$ polyacrylic acid was almost not different. 3. Concentration of the sulfate ion was a determinant factor in precipitating crystals on the enamel. The experimental crystal growth solutions containing 0.1 M sulfate ion did not make crystal formation but those containing over 0.2 M sulfate ion did. 4. The degree of crystal coverage showed a tendency to increase and then decrease according to the concentration of sulfate ion in the $20\%-40\%$ polyacrylic acid. The experimental solutions containing 0.5 M sulfate ion showed the peak of degree of crystal coverage. 5. The crystal length showed a tendency to decrease by increment of sulfate ion in the polyacrylic acid solution. 6. There was a tendency to increase the frequency of random arragement of short crystals when increasing the concentration of sulfate ion in the polyacrylic acid solution. The lower concentration of sulfate ion in the polyacrylic acid solutions tended to make spherulitic arrangement of crystals, the higher concentration of sulfate ion, the more random arrangement of crystals. The experimental solutions containing 0.5M sulfate ion showed more spherulitic arrangement than random arrangement of crystals. 7. The best one of these experimental crystal growth solutions was $30\%$ polyacrylic acid solution containing 0.5M sulfate ion.

Synthetic bone graft materials have been used for the regeneration of periodontal tissue lost due to periodontal disease, but the limitations of these materials had prompted the use of composite grafts. Among those, a composite graft of calcium carbonate(CC) and calcium sulfate(CS) is one of those materials that has not been studied extensively. CC, which is extracted from a natural coral, is known to possess osteoconductive property. SC can play an adjunctive role in the regeneration of bone tissue, and has shown good resorbability and biocompatibility. This study was conducted in order to investigate the effects of CC and CS composite graft to the regeneration of bone in the intrabony defects of dogs. 3-wall intrabony defects ub size of $4mm{\times}4mm{\times}4mm$ were created in the alveolar bone in the premolar areas. Then those defects that were treated with root planning only were designated as control, while the experimental group 1 and 2 each received the CC and CS composite grafts in the ratio of 8 : 2 and 5 : 5 the animals were sacrificed after 8weeks and the specimens were histologically analyzed. The results were as follows ; 1. No inflammation or foreign body reaction were observed in all subjects. CS has not been seen due to complete resorption, and resorption pattern of CC was observed. 2. Significant differences(p<0.05) in new cementum formation were observed between control($1.42{\pm}0.64mm$) and experimental groups(group 1 ; $2.53{\pm}0.94mm$, group 2 ; $2.23{\pm}0.96mm$) but the difference between the two experimental groups was not significant. 3. Significant differences(p<0.01) in new bone formation were observed between control($0.59{\pm}0.55mm$) and experimental groups(group 1 ; $2.27{\pm}0.61mm$, group 2 ; $2.05{\pm}0.56mm$) but the difference between the two experimental groups was not significant. 4. The extent of apical epithelial migration has shown no significant difference between control($1.18{\pm}1.24mm$) and experimental groups(group 1 ; $0.51{\pm}0.54mm$, group 2 ; $0.73{\pm}0.70mm$). 5. The extent of bone formation was generally limited to the extent of cementum formation for all groups, and significant correlation was found in the amount of bone formation and cementum formation in experimental group 1.(Co.=0.86, p<0.01) These results suggest that the composite graft of CC and CS is biocomplatible and effective in the new bone and new cementum formations. In the case of 3-wall intrabony defects of dogs, the composite ratio of 8 : 2 and 5 : 5 had shown no significant differences in the healing.

This study was done to find out the antifungal activity of two antibacterial antibiotics, Chlorampenicol and Streptomycin sulfate, against Phytophthora n. var. Parasitica, the causal agent of Phytophthora blight of sesame, growing on artificial media. On PDA medium, Chlorampenicol at 10 ppm, Streptomycin sulfate at 25ppm highly inhibited mycerial growth and completely inhibited zoosporangial formation of Phytophthora n. var. parasitica, and Chlorampenicol at 5 ppm, Streptomycin sulfate at 10 ppm slightly inhibited the mycerial growth and zoosporangial formation of the fungus. These antibiotics showed considerably increased inhibitory effect on the fungal growth when they were mixed with other chemical. Protein content in myceria of the fungus was decreased and abnormal growth of mycerial apex was observed by treatment of these antibiotics. Phytotoxicity on sesame seedlings was not observed by application of them.

The hydration mechanism of the $3CaO{\cdot}Al_2O_3-CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ system in the presence of alkali sulfates has been investigated. The early hydration rate of $3CaO{\cdot}Al_2O_3$ was accelerated by the addition of $Na_2SO_4$ and $K_2SO_4$. This is closely related to the formation of syngenite $(CaSO_4{\cdot}K_2SO_4{\cdot}H_2O)$, and the U-phase added $K_2SO_4$ and $Na_SO_4$ in the $3CaO{\cdot}Al_2O_3-CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ system, respectively. The formation of the rigid syngenite and U-phase structure led to rapid setting and decreases the sulfate content in the liquid phase of the hydrating cement to the extent that it cannot adequately retard the hydration of $3CaO{\cdot}Al_2O_3$. In case of the alkali sulfate not added to the $3CaO{\cdot}Al_2O_3-CaSO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$ system, the ettringite was transformed to monosulfoaluminate immediately after the consumption of gypsum. However, when the alkali sulfates were added to this system, the ettringite did not transform to monosulfoaluminate immediately even though the gypsum was completely consumed. There was a stagnation period to transform to the monosufoaluminate after the consumption of gypsum because the syngenite and U-phase remained as the sulfate source.

The absorption and fluorescence spectroscopic studies on the interaction between thionine (TH) and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS) have been carried out. The absorption and fluorescence spectral changes of TH with the changes of concentration of SDS are interpreted in terms of i) the aggregation of TH-SDS complex, ii) the stacking process of dye molecules by the association of the TH-SDS complex, iii) breakdown of the stacking due to the formation of dye-rich induced micelles, iv) redistribution of dye molecules in the surface of SDS micelles.

The purpose of this study is to evaluate the emission reduction characteristics depending on the formation of the catalyst which influences the development of the diesel oxidation catalyst (DOC) suitable for small-sized diesel engines. We also attempted to suggest the feasibility of it as an after-treatment device. The reduction efficiency of DOC for CO and HC was proportional to the contents of precious metals, and the particulate matter (PM) has been reduced as much as 53∼59%. The reduction rate of soluble organic fraction (SOF) by DOC attachment revealed 100%. The composition of sulfate in PM increased from 3%, 7∼11% by installation of DOC. It is described that increase of sulfate contributed to the production of PM. This result also showed that the SOF and sulfate have trade-off relationship.
