In this study, we attempted to evaluate a novel use of sericin-fixed silk fiber (SFx) as an immobilization support of enzyme. Sericin was fixed on the silk fiber using glutaraldehyde as a fixation reagent. After 6 hours of fixation, the degree of fixation increases linearly with linear decrease of the amount of bound $\alpha$-chymotrypsin (CT). This suggests that the increase of the degree of fixation is due to the further crosslinking of free aldehyde groups on the surface of sericin-fixed silk fiber (SFx). Even though perfect fixation was not achieved, sericin did not dissolve seriously and could be removed by further washing. The specific activity did not differ significantly after 6 hours of fixation. The activity of immobilized CT on SFx decreased to its half after 6 hours of incubation at 50$^{\circ}C$. However, it retained $78\%$ of initial activity even after 1 hour of treat­ment with $100\%$ ethanol. As a result, the SFx could be used as an immobilization support of enzyme in non-aqueous media at ambient temperature.

We fabricated the crosslinked films using p-hexadecoxyphenol (p-HP), which is amphiphilic and can form polyion complexes with formaldehyde at the air-water interface. The behavior of polyion complexation at the air-water interface and the surface structure of LB films was investigated by Brewster angle microscope(BAM) and scanning Maxwell-stress microscope (SMM), respectively. Also, the electrical properties for crosslinking in phenol-formaldehyde LB films were investigated by measuring conductivity and dielectric constant. The conductivities of p-HP LB films are as follows: heat-treatment of 1% formaldehyde subphase(3.76$\times$10$^{-15}$ ~4.76$\times$10$^{-1}$5[S/cm])$\times$10$^{-14}$ ~1.74$\times$10$^{-14}$ [S/cm]). Also, relative dielectric constants of p-HP LB films were reduced from 6.76~7.84 (pure water) to 2.97~3.25 (heat-treatment of 1% formaldehyde subphase))

Stable poly(styrene-co-divinylbenzene) [P(St-co-DVB)] micro spheres with narrow size distribution were synthesized in the presence of 2,2'-azobis(2,4-dimethyl valeronitrile) (V-65) and co-initiator in an acetone/water mixture in the precipitation polymerization at $53^{\circ}C$ for 24 h. Potassium peroxodisulfate (KPS), ammonium peroxodisulfate (APS) and sodium peroxodisulfate (NaPS) were used as co-initiators. The optimum ratio of acetone to water for the formation of a narrow distribution of P(St-co-DVB) particles was 49:11 (g/g). The optimum co-initiator compositions for narrow distribution were 9:1 (g/g) for V-65 to KPS, 11:1 for V-65 to APS and 6:1 for V-65 to NaPS. The yield for these compositions was $54{\sim}57%$ and the largest particle size was obtained with the lowest zeta-potential and CV values. From the XPS measurements, the charge density was increased but the zeta potential decreased with increasing sulfur content, implying that the sulfate group provides the electrostatic stabilization on the particle surface. This suggested that the self-crosslinking between styrene and DVB, the electrostatic stabilization of initiators, and the balanced hydrophobic and hydrophilic properties of the solvents are responsible for the formation of stable P(St-co-DVB) spherical particles with narrow size distribution.

The pH sensitive hydrogels composed of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPA) and acryloyl phenylalanine (APA) were prepared by redox polymerization using N,N'-methylenebisacrylamide (MBA) as a crosslinker. Anti-inflammatory and analgesic agent, Keterolac Tromethamine (KT), was loaded successfully into poly(NIPA-co-APA) copolymeric hydrogels by swelling equilibrium method. To understand the nature of drug in the polymeric matrix, the newly synthesized drug loaded poly(NIPA-co-APA) copolymeric hydrogels were characterized by using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD) techniques. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) technique result indicates the spherical smooth surface of the hydrogels. The drug (KT) releasing nature of the poly(NIPA-co-APA) hydrogels was studied in pH 1.2 and 7.4. Effects of drug loading, crosslinking agent, pH and the ionic strength of the external medium on swelling of hydrogels were also investigated.

글루탈알데히드와 황산을 이용하여 가교된 키토산 복합막을 제조하였다. 제조된 복합막은 글루탈알데히드와 황산용액을 이용하여 표면말을 선택적으로 가교하엿다. 제조된 키토산 막에서의 키토산과 아세트산간의 착체형성의 영향을 관찰하기 위하여 수산화나트륨으로 중화하여 성능을 비교하였다. 황산으로 표면을 가교한 경우 코팅된 활성층의 투과증발에 대한 영향을 관찰하였다. 글루탈알데히드로 가교된 키토산복합막은 지지체의 종류를 변화시키면서 투과증발성능을 비교하였다. 지지체의 순수투과성능이 증가할수록 투과유량은 비슷한 값들을 유지하였으며, 선택도는 증가하다가 다시 감소하는 경향을 나타내었다. 수산화나트륨으로 키토산을 중화시킨 경우에는 선택도는 감소하였고 투과유량은 유지되는 경향을 나타내었다. 황산을 이용하여 표면을 이온가교시킨 경우 키토산 복합막은 활성충우ㅏ 두께가 증가할수록 가교시간이 증가하여야 최적의 가교조건을 나타내었다.

방식도막의 수명에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 물의 흡수과정을 quartz crystal microbalance법 및 임피던스 원리를 이용하여 연구하였다. 도막에 있어서 물의 흡수량과 전해질 농도 변화에 따른 도막의 capacitance를 조사하였다 방식도막에 대한 물의 흡수는 삼투압 작용에 의해서 이루어지고, 흡수 초기단계에서는 도막두께가 얇을수록 흡수량이 많은 것을 알 수 있었다 그리고 도막을 구성하고 있는 수지의 종류 및 결합 가교밀도에 따라서 흡수성이 큰 영향을 받는다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 방식도막에 있어서는 접촉하는 전해질 용액의 농도 변화에 따라 흡$\cdot$탈수 현상이 발생하였으며, 같은 종류의 도막이라도 도막두께가 얇을수록 탈수현상에 따른 capacitance의 증가폭이 큰 것으로 나타났다

We investigated a new method for patterning organic field-effect transistors (OFETs) using a photopatternable conducting polymer nanocomposite, consisting of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT)-coated gold nanoparticles (AuNPs) that had been modified with a photoreactive cinnamate group, to form P3HT-AuNP-CI. We found that the addition of the cinnamate group to the nanoparticle surface assisted the preparation of a solvent-resistive semiconducting film and preserved the P3HT ordering, which was interrupted by Au-P3HT interactions, as well as provided UV-controllable electrical properties. The P3HT-AuNPs-CI films could be microscale-patterned via a UV crosslinking photoreaction, represented as a promising photopatternable semiconductor material for use in advanced applications, with tunable electrical properties for fabrication of sub-micron and microscale electronic devices.

단백질을 연결시키는 효소인 transglutaminase는 모발에서 다양한 효과를 나타낼 수 있는 가능성이 있는데 이중에는 모발의 단단함을 증가시키는 작용도 포함된다. 여러 transglutaminase 효소 중 Streptomyces mobaraensis로부터 분리된 미생물 유래 효소를 손상된 모발에 사용한 후 인장강도를 평가한 결과 초기에 비해 15.64%까지 증가되는 것이 확인되었다. 이러한 효과는 transglutaminas가 샴푸를 사용하여 세정하는 과정에서의 모발 손상을 복구시킬 수 있다는 것을 의미한다. 또한 transglutaminase를 이용해 모발 표면의 특성을 개선 시킴으로써 모발의 윤기를 증가시키고 표면의 마찰력을 감소시키는데 유용하게 이용될 수 있었다.

The pore-filled anion-exchange membranes were prepared in this study with an asymmetric poly(vinylidene fluoride)(PVDF) membrane as a nascent membrane and poly(vinylbenzyl chloride)(PVBCl) as a polyelectrolyte. The solution of PVBCI having the chloromethylate aryl ring of 80 percents and 1,4-diaminobicyclo [2,2,2]octane(DABCO) was made with the solvent of tetrahydrofuran(THF) and N,N-Dimethylformamide(DMF), which is in the rotio of 8:2. A new preparation method in this study, i.e. in-situ crosslinking, enabled us to produce the pore-filled membranes without change of size, and to control the properties of final membrane with various degree of cross-linking. From the result of surface morphologies of SEM and AFM the polyelectrolyte exists in the pores of nascent membrane as a certain configuration. From the investigation of the solvent affecting much to the permeability and rejection, it was found. that the membranes using DMF and THF showed better performances than the membranes produced by THF only. The water permeability of the final membrane at low pressure(100㎪) showed a typical ultrafiltation membrane's permeability (8-10kg/㎡hr) and good values of rejection(55∼60 percent).

Stable polyion-complexed polymeric monolayers were prepared by spreading perfluoroalkyl monomaleate copolymers, $C_2F_8MA-VE_2$ and $C_2F_8MA-VE_3$, on a aqueous poly(allylamine) subphase. The monolayer properties have been studied by the surface pressure-area (${\pi}$-A) isotherms. The $C_2F_8MA-VE_3$ containing longer oligoethyleneglycol pendant showed more expanded monolayer phase than the $C_2F_8MA-VE_2$. The polyion-complexed monolayers were transferable on various substrates, and the resulting Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films were characterized by FT-IR spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Two-dimensional crosslinking to form a polymer network was achieved by amide formation through heat treatment under vacuum with concurrent removal of perfluoroalkyl tails. SEM observation of this film on a porous membrane filter showed that the four layer film was sufficiently stable to cover the filter pore size of 0.1 ${\mu}$m. The $C_2F_8MA-VE_3$ revealed better covering capability than the $C_2F_8MA-VE_2$. Immersion of this film in water or in benzene did not cause any change in its appearance and in Fl-IR spectra.
