The purpose of this study was to observe the compressive strength, compressive fatigue strength, surface hardness, water sorption and solubility of eight different posterior restorative composite resins. Eight composite resins were tested for their strength of the compressive and compressive fatigue with prepared two different types of specimens (I and T-type) using a Instron universal testing machine (model No. 1332). The hardness was measured with a Knoop hardness tester (MVH-2, Tokyo) for each cylindrical specimen, 7mm in diameter and 5mm thick. The water sorption and solubility were evaluated with the prepared composite resin disks, 20mm in diameter and 1mm thick. The results were as follows: 1. The compressive strength, compressive fatigue strength and hardness were noticed to be Increased by increasing the volume content of filler. 2. The compressive strength was appeared to be independent on the type of specimen, but the compressive fatigue strength was found to be greatly influenced by the type of specimens. 3. The composite resins having higher compressive strength had also higher compressive fatigue limits. 4. The compressive fatigue limits at $10^5$ stress cycles were about 50-80% of the compressive strength and were showen to be dependent on the materials and type of specimens. 5. The larger the filler particle size was, the lower was the water sorption. And the water sorption of BIS-GMA resin was higher than that of urethane resin. 6. The visible light-cured composite resin had a higher value of solubility than the chemically- cured composite resin. And the solubility tended to decrease by increasing the volume content of filler.

To understand the thermoresponsive volume phase transition of an N-isopropyl acrylamide(NIPA) gel on water, the solubility parameter of neutral NIPA gel was determined by swelling the gel with various solvents. Water was found not to be a good solvent for NIPA gel. Equilibrium swelling curves of NIPA gel were respectively obtained by immersing in pure water, ethanol, n-propanol and some mixed solvents. On adding a small amount of alcohols to water, volume phase transition of NIPA gel in water was changed. Phase transition temperature of this gel was decreased with the increase of the carbon number of alcohol.

In order to investigate the effects on intumescence to fire protective coatings, the characteristics of solubility, hygroscopic nature and X-ray diffration results on soluble silicate were determined. Solubility is depended on the mutual action of each silicate. In the result of hygroscopic characteristics by water absorption under several kinds of relative humidity, lithium silicate is more stable than sodium and potassium silicate over moistures. Eventhough free water is evaporated over $100^{\circ}C$ , physically adsorption water and ionic water are eliminated about $200^{\circ}C$, but evolution of structural water is expected to be emitted between 400~$600^{\circ}C$ range. Those are considered to be contributed intumescence on soluble silicate.

As an approach to the explanation of increased availability of phosphate in reduced wetland soils, the interrelationships among pH, pe, $Fe^{+{+}}$ and water soluble phosphate in reduced soil-water suspension was studied. 1. p.e value of soil incubated for 8 weeks at $30^{\circ}C$ under waterlogged condition was sufficiently low to allow the conversion of strengite to vivianite. 2. The concentration of water soluble $Fe^{+{+}}$ in this system was higher than that is allowable by the solubility of vivianite. 3. From the relationship between pH and the concentration of water soluble $Fe^{+{+}}$, the concentration of water soluble $Fe^{+{+}}$ could be determined with the solubility of $FeCO_3$. 4. No definite relationship between pH and water soluble P was recognized which implied that the concentration of water soluble P in this system could not determined with the solubility of vivianite.

To improve the solubility and dissolution rate of acyclovir (ACV), which is low oral bioavailability due to its properties of slight solubility in water and incomplete gastrointestinal absorption, the solid inclusion complexes of ACV with ${\alpha}CD$, ${\beta}CD$, $DM{\beta}CD$ in molar ratio of 1:1 were prepared by the freeze-drying method. The inclusion complexes were investigated by solubility study, UV, IR and DSC. The dissolution rate of ACV was significantly increased by ACV-CDs inclusion complex formation in artificial intestinal fluid at pH 6.8. The enhanced dissolution rate of ACV could be due to an increase of solubility and the formation of an amorphous structures through inclusion complexation with CDs. Especially, $ACV-DM{\beta}CD$ inclusion complex enhanced the maximum plasma concentration levels and AUC following oral administration compared to those of ACV alone. The present results suggest that $ACV-DM{\beta}CD$ inclusion complex serves as a potential carrier for improving the solubility, the dissolution rate and the bioavailability of ACV.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the fluoride release and solubility of glass ionomer cement associated with three pH media. For this study, GC Fuji II discs (20.0mm in diameter ${\times}$ 1.5mm thick) were immersed in pH 4.0 lactic acid, pH 7.0 distilled water and pH 10.0 KOH solutions for 1, 7, 14 and 28 days. The amount of fluoride release from the cement into three pH media were measured by fluoride specific ion electrode and the solubility was measured by weight loss of discs. The results were as follows: 1. The lower was the pH of media, the more was the amount of release of fluoride. 2. The amount of fluoride release was increased with time lapse. 3. After I day, the solubility was the highest, and after 7 days that was the least. 4. The lower was the pH of media, the more was the solubility, but there was no statistical difference in solubility according to the pH change.

This study was conducted to determine the solubility of copper (Cu) in two sources of copper(II) sulfate ($CuSO_4$) including monohydrate and pentahydrate and three sources of dicopper chloride trihydroxide (dCCTH) including ${\alpha}$-form (dCCTH-${\alpha}$), ${\beta}$-form (dCCTH-${\beta}$), and a mixture of ${\alpha}$- and ${\beta}$-form (dCCTH-${\alpha}{\beta}$) at different pH and a 3-step in vitro digestion assay for pigs. In Exp. 1, Cu sources were incubated in water-based buffers at pH 2.0, 3.0, 4.8, and 6.8 for 4 h using a shaking incubator at $39^{\circ}C$. The $CuSO_4$ sources were completely dissolved within 15 min except at pH 6.8. The solubility of Cu in dCCTH-${\alpha}$ was greater (p<0.05) than dCCTH-${\beta}$ but was not different from dCCTH-${\alpha}{\beta}$ during 3-h incubation at pH 2.0 and during 2-h incubation at pH 3.0. At pH 4.8, there were no significant differences in solubility of Cu in dCCTH sources. Copper in dCCTH sources were non-soluble at pH 6.8. In Exp. 2, the solubility of Cu was determined during the 3-step in vitro digestion assay for pigs. All sources of Cu were completely dissolved in step 1 which simulated digestion in the stomach. In Exp. 3, the solubility of Cu in experimental diets including a control diet and diets containing 250 mg/kg of additional Cu from five Cu sources was determined during the in vitro digestion assay. The solubility of Cu in diets containing additional Cu sources were greater (p<0.05) than the control diet in step 1. In conclusion, the solubility of Cu was influenced by pH of digesta but was not different among sources based on the in vitro digestion assay.

Water-soluble mutant of intrinsically insoluble protein, crambin, was produced by mutagenesis based on the sequence analysis with homologous proteins. Thr1, Phe13, and Lys33 of crambin were substituted for Lys, Tyr, and Lys, respectively. The resultant mutant was soluble in aqueous buffer as well as in dodecylphosphocholine (DPC) micelle solution. The $^1H-^{15}N$ spectrum of the mutant crambin showed spectral similarity to that of the wild-type protein except for local regions proximal to the sites of mutation. Solution structure of water-soluble mutant crambin was determined in aqueous buffer by NMR spectroscopy. The structure was almost identical to the wild-type structure determined in non-aqueous solvent. Subtle difference in structure was very local and related to the change of the intra- and inter-protein hydrophobic interaction of crambin. The structural details for the enhanced solubility of crambin in aqueous solvent by the mutation were provided and discussed.

The objective of this study was to improve the extent of drug release as well as the dissolution rate of TD49, a novel algicidal agent, via the preparation of solid dispersion (SD). Among the various carriers tested, $Solutol^{(R)}$ HS15 was most effective to enhance the solubility of TD49. Subsequently, SDs of TD49 were prepared by using $Solutol^{(R)}$ HS15 and their solubility, dissolution characteristics and drug crystallinity were examined at various drug-carrier ratios. Solubili ty of TD49 was increased significantly in accordance with increasing the ratio of $Solutol^{(R)}$ HS15 in SDs. Compared to untreated powders and physical mixtures (PMs), SDs facilitated the faster and greater extent of drug release in water. Particularly, SD having the drug-carrier ratio of 1:20 exhibited approximately 90% of drug release within 1 hr. Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) thermograms and X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns suggested that SDs might enhance the dissolution of TD49 by changing the drug crystallinity to an amorphous form in addition to the increased solubilization of drug in the presence of $Solutol^{(R)}$ HS15. In conclusion, SD using $Solutol^{(R)}$ HS15 appeared to be effective to improve the extent of drug release and the dissolution rate of poorly water soluble TD49.
