This study has been performed to confirm the three dimensional effect of the crack reduction and the restrained effect of crack growth for the synthetic fiber reinforced soil. Two types of polyrpropylene fiber and low plastic clay(CL) were used for the test. And the test variable were fiber length and so on. The results of the study were summarized as follows ; 1) The mixing of synthetic fiber was effective in reducing crack growth due to adhesion between soil partlcles and synthetic fiber.l Especially initlal crack was delayed, as compared with the pure soil, for about 1 day in case of mono filament synthetic fiber and for about 1 or 2 days in case of fibrillated syntetic fiber. 2) As the content and length of synthetic fiber were increased , the effect of crack reduction was increased. It was found that 0.5% fibrillated synthetic fiber with 40mm length reinforced soil had about 3 times more effective than natural soils. 3) In case of the same fiber content and fiber length, the fibrillated synthetic fiber has nmore effective than the mono filament synthetic fiber for crack reduction.

Dyeing and fastness properties of 800nm sea-Island type PET nanofilament fabrics have been investigated. The dye uptake of nanofilament commended at lower temperatures and showed faster rate of dye uptake. The build up and wet fastness propertied of disperse dye on nanofilament were relatively poor since the more dye was needed to achieve a given depth of shade due to the large surface area.

나일론 11[poly(undecanolactam)]은 적어도 5개의 결정형태를 가지며 삼사정계의 $\alpha$형, 단사정계의 $\beta$형 그리고 3개의 육방정계 또는 가육방정계의 형태(${\gamma}$,$\delta$,$\delta$')를 갖는다고 알려져 있다. $\alpha$형은 95$^{\circ}C$ 이하에서 안정하고 $\delta$형은 95$^{\circ}C$ 이상에서 안정하다. 용융상태 또는 5형에서 급냉하면 준안정 상태의 $\delta$'형을 형성한다. $\alpha$형을 trifluoroacetic acid로 처리하면 안정할 ${\gamma}$형이 얻어진다[1-2].

Hepatocyte damage caused by medications or herbal products is one of the important problem when these compounds are chronically administrated. Thus, improving hepatocyte survival during treatment offers a wide range of opportunities. Valproic acid (VPA), a branched short-chain fatty acid derived from naturally occurring valeric acid, is commonly used to treat epilepsy and seizures. Although VPA exerts numerous effects in cancer, HIV therapy, and neurodegenerative disease, its effects on the liver and its mechanism of action have not been fully elucidated. Here, we demonstrated that VPA caused moderate liver cell toxicity and apoptosis. Interestingly, VPA treatment increased transcription levels of PPAR alpha (PPAR-α) and fibroblast growth factor 21 (FGF21) in murine (Hepa1c1c7) hepatoma cells in a time and concentration dependent manner. VPA-induced FGF21 expression was significantly weaker under PPAR-α silencing condition than in cells transfected with non-targeting control siRNA. Subsequent experiments showed that cell viability was significantly lowered when the FGF21 signaling pathway was blocked by FGF receptor antagonist. Finally, we further determined that AMPK phosphorylation was not responsible for VPA-induced FGF21 expression and PPAR-a increments. These results indicate that increases of FGF21 expression alleviate VPA-induced hepatic toxicity, thereby making FGF21 a potential biomarker for predicting liver damage during VPA treatments.
