An efficient method of selecting an antagonistic strain for use as a biological control agent strain was developed. In this improved method, the surface tension reduction potential of an isolate was included in the 'decision factor,' in addition to two other factors; the growth rate and pathogen inhibition. By using a statistically designed method, an isolate from the soil was selected and identified as Bacillus sp. GB 16. In the pot test, this strain showed the best performance among the isolated strains. The lowest disease incidence rate and fastest seed growth were observed when the Bacillus sp. GB 16 was used. The action of the surface tension reducing component was assumed to enhance the wetting, spreading, and residing of the antagonistic strain in the rhizosphere. This result showed that the improved selection method was quite effective in selecting the best antagonistic strain for the biological control of soilborne infectious plant pathogens.

Four amphoteric surfactants, 1-(N-alkyl-N,N-dimethyl ammonio)-4-naphthalene sulfonates, were prepared by the alkylation of 1-(N,N-dimethylamino)-4,naphthalene sulfonic acid with chloroalkanes such as 1-decylchloride, 1-tetradecyl chloride and 1-hexadecyl chloride. These quaternary ammonium compounds such as 1-(N-decyl-N, N-dimethylammonio)-4-naphthalene sulfonate, 1-(N-dodecyl-N,N-dimethylammonio)-4-naphthalene sulfonate, 1-(N-tetradecyl-N,N-dimethylammonio)-4-naphthalene sulfonate and 1-(N-hexadecyl-N,N-dimethylammonio)-4-naphthalene sulfonate could be separated by means of thin layes chromatography and column chromatography. The surface chemical properties such as surface tension, foaming power, foam stability, wetting efficiency and solubilizing effect for these four compounds were measured. Also critical micelle concentration and hydrophilic-lipophilic balance(HLB) were evaluated. These compounds showed good surface as O/W type emulsifying agent and detergent.

This study has examined the flexural properties of natural and chemically modified coir fiber reinforced cementitious composites (CFRCC). Coir fibers of two different average lengths were used, and the longer coir fibers were also treated with a 1% NaOH solution for comparison. The fibers were combined with cementitious materials and chemical agents (dispersant, defoamer or wetting agent) to form CFRCC. The flexural properties of the composites, including elastic stress, flexural strength, toughness and toughness index, were measured. The effects of fiber treatments, addition of chemical agents and accelerated ageing of composites on the composites' flexural properties were examined. The results showed that the CFRCC samples were 5-12 % lighter than the conventional mortar, and that the addition of coir fibers improved the flexural strength of the CFRCC materials. Toughness and toughness index, which were associated with the work of fracture, were increased more than ten times. For the alkalized long coir fiber composites, a higher immediate and long-term toughness index was achieved. SEM microstructure images revealed improved physicochemical bonding in the treated CFRCC.

The interconnection mechanisms of a smart anisotropic conductive adhesive (ACA) during processing have been characterized. For an understanding of chemorheological mechanisms between the fluxing polymer and solder powder, a thermal analysis as well as solder wetting and coalescence experiments were conducted. The compatibility between the viscosity of the fluxing polymer and melting temperature of solder was characterized to optimize the processing cycle. A fluxing agent was also used to remove the oxide layer performed on the surface of the solder. Based on these chemorheological phenomena of the fluxing polymer and solder, an optimum polymer system and its processing cycle were designed for high performance and reliability in an electrical interconnection system. In the present research, a bonding mechanism of the smart ACA with a polymer spacer ball to control the gap between both substrates is newly proposed and investigated. The solder powder was used as a conductive material instead of polymer-based spherical conductive particles in a conventional anisotropic conductive film.

The corrosion product of archaeological iron objects is supposed to be removed because it causes re-corrosion. So far it is removed by scapel and sand blaster but they depend on the skill and experience of a conservator and the glass-dust of the sand blaster is harmful to humans. Therefore this study applies a laser cleaning system which is used in various industrial cleaning processes, to remove corrosion product from archaeological iron objects. In addition, this work studies the alternation of corrosion product after laser irradiation, which evaluates the reliability of the laser cleaning system. Optical microscopy, SEM-EDS, XRD, Raman have been used to observe and analyse the surface of the objects. The results show the capacity of laser cleaning some corrosion product, but blackening appears with increasing pulses and laser energy, and some corrosion products, goethite and hematite, are partially altered to magnetite. These problems, blackening and alternation of corrosion product, should be solved by further studies which find the optimal laser irradiation condition and use a wetting agent.

Soil-borne infectious disease including Pythium aphanidermatum and Rhizoctonia solani causes severe damage to plants, such as cucumber. This soil-borne infectious disease was not controlled effectively by chemical pesticide. Since these diseases spread through the soil, chemical agents are usually ineffective. Instead, biological control, including antagonistic microbe can be used as a preferred control method. An efficient method was developed to select an antagonistic strain to be used as a biological control agent strain. In this new method, surface tension reduction potential of an isolate was included in the ‘decision factor’ in addition to the other factors, such as growth rate, and pathogen inhibition rate. Considering these 3 decision factors by a statistical method, an isolate from soil was selected and was identified as Bacillus sp. GB16. In the pot test, this strain showed the best performance among the isolated strains. The lowest disease incidence rate and fastest seed growth was observed when Bacillus sp. GB16 was used. Therefore this strain was considered as plant growth promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR). The action of surface tension reducing component was deduced as the enhancement of wetting, spreading, and residing of antagonistic strain in the rhizosphere. This result showed that new selection method was significantly effective in selecting the best antagonistic strain for biological control of soil-borne infectious plant pathogen. The antifungal substances against P. aphanidermatum and R. solani were partially purified from the culture filtrates of Bacillus sp. GB16. In this study, lipopeptide possessing antifungal activity was isolated from Bacillus sp. GB16 cultures by various purification procedures and was identified as a surfactin-like lipopeptide based on the Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), high performance liquid chromatography mass spectroscopy (HPLC-MS), and quadrupole time-of-flight (Q-TOF) ESI-MS/MS data. The lipopeptide, named GB16-BS, completely inhibited the growth of Pythium aphanidermatum, Rhizoctonia solani, Penicillium sp., and Botrytis cineria at concentrations of 10 and 50 mg/L, respectively. A novel method to prevent the foaming and to provide oxygen was developed. During the production of surface active agent, such as lipopeptide (surfactin), large amount of foam was produced by aeration. This resulted in the carryover of cells to the outside of the fermentor, which leads to the significant loss of cells. Instead of using cell-toxic antifoaming agents, low amount of hydrogen peroxide was added. Catalase produced by cells converted hydrogen peroxide into oxygen and water. Also addition of corn oil as an oxygen vector as well as antifoaming agent was attempted. In addition, Ca-stearate, a metal soap, was added to enhance the antifoam activity of com oil. These methods could prevent the foaming significantly and maintained high dissolved oxygen in spite of lower aeration and agitation. Using these methods, high cell density, could be achieved with increased lipopeptide productivity. In conclusion to produce an effective biological control agent for soil-borne infectious disease, following strategies were attempted i) effective screening of antagonist by including surface tension as an important decision factor ii) identification of antifungal compound produced from the isolated strain iii) novel oxygenation by $H_2O_2-catalase$ with vegetable oil for antifungal lipopeptide production.

본 연구는 양이온 계면활성효과를 가져 소독제로 사용되고 있는 benzalkonium chloride 수용액을 상아질 표면에 대한 습윤용 처리제로 적용시킬 경우 상아질접착제의 접착성능에 미치는 영향을 관찰하기 위해 시행되었다. 소의 하악전치 80개를 8개군으로 분류하여 순면의 상아질을 노출시켜서 산처리한 후 물로 습윤 상태를 유지시킨 대조군과 0.1%, 0.5% 및 1% 농도의 benzalkonium chloride 수용액으로 습윤시킨 실험군으로 나누어 NTG-GMA/BPDM계 상아질접착제인 All-bond 2와 DSDM 계 상아질접착제인 Aelitebond를 각각 접착시킨 후 접착시험을 시행하였다. 상아질 표면을 10% 인산수용액으로 처리한 후 습윤과정을 거친 시편을 각 접착시스템의 primer와 bonding resin을 도포하고 Aelitefil 복합레진으로 접 착시 킨후 항온조에서 24시간 방치한 뒤 인장접착강도를 측정하고, 상아질표면 및 파단면의 양상을 주사전자 현미경으로 관찰하였으며 FT-IR을 사용하여 전처리 전후의 상아질 표면을 분석하여 다음의 결과를 얻었다. 1. NTG-GMA/BPDM 계 상아질접착제 (All-bond 2)로 접착시킨 경우 물로 습윤시킨 대조군에 비해 0.1 % benzalkonium chloride 수용액으로 습윤시킨 군에서 유의하게 높은 인장접착강도를 보였으나(p<0.05), 0.5% 및 1.0 % benzalkonium chloride 수용액으로 습윤시킨 군에서는 유의한 차이가 나타나지 않았다. 2. DSDM계 상아질접착제 (Aelitebond) 로 접착시킨 경우 물로 습윤시킨 대조군과 0.1 %, 0.5% 및 1.0 % benzalkonium chloride 수용액으로 습융시킨 군 간의 인장접착강도의 유의한 차이는 없었다(p>0.05). 3. Benzalkonium chloride 수용액의 적용과 관계 없이 전체적으로 NTG-GMA/ BPDM계 상아질접착제로 접착시킨 경우가 DSDM계 상아질접착제로 접착시킨 경우보다 인장접착강도가 높았으며, 파단양상의 관찰결과에서도 NTG-GMA /BPDM계 상아질접착제를 사용한 경우는 응집성 및 혼합성 파단양상이, DSDM 계 상아질접착제를 사용한 경우는 부착성 파단양상이 우세하였다. 4. 주사전자 현미경적 관찰상에서 benzalkonium chloride 수용액 적용 유무에 따른 각 상아질 표면의 primer 도포양상의 뚜렷한 차이는 관찰되지 않았으나, 상아질 표면에 대한 benzalkonium chloride 수용액 적용 전후의 FT-IR 분석결과 에서는 0.1 % benzalkonium chloride 수용액으로 습윤 처리 시킨 군이 대조군에 비해 NTG-GMA/ BPDM 및 DSDM primer의 도포효과를 다소 향상시킨 소견이었다.

본 연구는 토양습윤제를 개발하기 위해 비이온계 계면활성제인 polyoxyethylene octylphenyl ether[$C_8H_{17}O(C_2H_4O)_{10}H$, POE]를 주 계면활성제로, polyoxyethylene+polypropyleneoxide tridecylether(1:1, w/w, CM-1), polyoxyethylene+polypropyleneoxide tridecylether+propyleneglycol monomethylether(1:1:2, w/w/w, CM-2) 및 glycerin+ditridecyl phthalate(1:1, w/w, CM-3)등 3종류의 부 계면활성제, 그리고 질석과 비석을 증량제로 조합하여 상토 내 농도변화, 초기습윤화에 미치는 영향 및 상토의 물리적 특성에 미치는 영향 등을 조사하였다. 비석이나 질석이 증량제로 이용되고 POE와 CM-1, 2 또는 3을 조합한 경우 초기용출량이 많았으며 6회 이후 급격히 감소하여 불안정한 용출곡선을 보였다. POE+CM-1, 2 또는 3이 상토의 초기습윤화에 미치는 영향에서 AquaGro가 혼합된 처리가 다른 모든 처리보다 초기 18시간 동안의 수분 보유량이 많았으나 처리간 차이가 뚜렷하지 않았으며, 84시간 이후에는 POE+CM-2 처리에서 가장 많은 수분을 보유하였고 무처리구를 제외한 모든 토양습윤제 혼합처리구간의 차이는 뚜렷하지 않았다. 증발에 의한 상토의 수분상실에서 비석이 증량제로 이용된 경우 POE+CM-3이 혼합된 상토의 증발속도가 가장 빨랐고 POE+CM-2, AquaGro, 무처리구, 그리고 POE+CM-1의 순으로 느려지는 경향이었다. 그러나 질석이 증량제로 이용된 경우 POE+CM-1의 증발속도가 다른 처리들 보다 월등히 빨라 수분상실량이 많았으며, POE+CM-3, AquaGro, 무처리구 그리고 POE+CM-2의 순으로 느려지는 경향이었다. 단위시간당 상토안으로 침투되는 수분량에서 비석이 증량제로 이용된 경우 POE+CM-1, POE+CM-3, AquaGro, POE+CM-2 및 무처리구의 순으로 단위시간당 침투되는 수분량이 적어지는 경향이었다. 질석이 증량제로 이용된 경우 POE+CM-3, AquaGro, POE+CM-1, POE+CM-2 및 무처리구의 순으로 단위시간당 침투되는 수분량이 적어지는 경향이었다.

실크 생사의 세리신 정착을 보다 효과적으로 하기위해 멜라민과 포르말린의 혼합액에 각종 첨가제를 첨가했을 때 첨가제가 세리신 정착에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 멜라민과 포르말린의 혼합액으로 세리신을 정착할 때 수분침투 기능이 있는 계면활성제로 전처리라고 수세하지 않은 경우 견고한 정착이 이루어졌고, 정착액에 과산화수소를 첨가한 경우 정착 효과가 크게 떨어지면서 단사 간에 접착하는 문제가 발생했고, 하이드로를 첨가하여 $60^{\circ}C$에서 정착하는 경우에는 표백과 동시에 세리신 정착이 가능함을 확인했다. 낮은 농도의 수산화나트륨을 첨가한 알칼리 조건에서 멜라민을 추가함으로써 매우 견고한 세리신 정착 결과를 얻었으나 염산과 메탄을 추가는 정착에 그다지 효과적이지 못했고, 염화마그네슘 추가는 오히려 세리신 정착 견고성을 크게 저하시켰다.

자동차용 웨더스트립 제조공정 중 발생하는 에틸렌-프로필렌 고무 스크랩을 고온전단분쇄기를 이용하여 표면활성화 된 분말을 얻은 후 이를 폴리프로필렌과 블렌드하여 열가소성탄성체를 제조하기 위한 기초연구를 수행하였다. 에틸렌-프로필렌 고무 스크랩 분쇄 시 표면활성제를 1.5 phr 첨가하면 최적의 표면활성화 된 분말을 얻을 수 있었다. 폴리프로필렌의 경우는 maleic anhydride를 반응블렌드에 의해 그라프트시켜 기능화 하였다. 기능화된 에틸렌-프로펄렌 분말과 폴리프로필렌을 블렌드하여 열가소성탄성체를 제조할 때 계면젖음 특성이 중요하기 때문에 계면젖음성을 향상시키기 위하여 상용화제로 poly(ethylene-co-acrylic arid)를 폴리프로필렌에 첨가하였다. Poly(ethylene-co-acrylic acid)는 폴리프로필렌의 표면장력을 감소시켰으며 이로 인해 에틸렌-프로필렌 분말과의 계면젖음성이 크게 증진될 것으로 기대된다.
