In this work, the solvent permeation and separation performance of organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membranes were evaluated. Particularly, the PuraMem (PM) series developed for nonpolar solvents were analyzed and tested in dead-end filtration system. PM membranes exhibited higher permeance for nonpolar solvents compared to polar solvents, and their rejection data did not follow conventional trends with respect to solute size. The data showed that simple solution-diffusion model is not suitable to describe the OSN membrane behavior, and a better solvent-solute-membrane interaction parameter must be developed.

유기 발광 소자는 차세대 디스플레이 소자와 조명 광원으로서 많은 응용성 때문에 활발한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 백색광을 구현하는 대표적인 방법으로는 밴드갭이 큰 고분자 물질에 염료를 넣는 방법, 적 녹 청을 순차적으로 증착하는 방법을 사용하지만 인가 전압의 증가 및 효율 저하, 유기물질의 수명감소, 색 안정성 감소, 제조공정의 복잡화의 문제가 발생된다. 이 문제를 해결하기 위하여 발광효율 및 안정성이 향상된 유기발광 재료 개발, 다층 이종구조 및 형광/인광성 물질의 도핑에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 이와 더불어 기존의 수직 적층 구조에서 벗어난 평행하게 적 녹 청을 배열한 백색 유기 발광 소자 및 색변환 물질을 사용한 백색 유기발광소자가 제시되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고분자 물질의 용해도가 다른 선택적 식각 방법을 이용하여 제조 공정이 간단하며 동일평면에서 적색 및 청색을 발광하여 백색을 발생하는 백색 유기발광소자를 제작하였다. 두 가지 유기물을 일정 성분비로 용매에 용해하여 적색 발광 고분자 발광층을 제작하였다. 이렇게 형성한 박막층을 한 가지 유기물만을 선택적으로 용해시켜 다공성 고분자 박막층을 형성 한 후 열 진공 증착법에 의해 청색 빛을 내는 저분자 유기물을 증착하여 적색과 청색이 동시에 발광하는 백색 유기 발광 소자를 제작하였다. 다공성고분자/저분자 층이, 수직 적층된 구조와 비교하였을 때 수직 적층된 구조는 높은 highest occupied molecular orbital 준위를 가진 저분자층으로 인해 적색에서 청색 발광층으로 정공의 주입이 일어나지 않는다. 그러나 적색과 청색이 평행한 적층 구조를 가진 발광소자인 경우 정공이 적색층과 청색층에 동시에 주입되기 때문에 문턱전압의 감소하고 백색의 빛을 발광하였다.

The applicability of room temperature ionic liquids (RTILs), 1-alkyl-3-methylimidazolium bis(trifluoromethylsulfonyl)imide ([$C_nmim$] [$Tf_2N$]), was investigated for the extraction of Am(III) and Eu(III) from nitric acid using n-octyl(phenyl)-N,N-diisobutyl carbamoylmethyl phosphine oxide (CMPO) and tri-n-butylphosphate (TBP) as extractants. The distribution ratios of Am(III) and Eu(III) in CMPO-TBP/[$C_nmim$][$Tf_2N$] were measured as a function of various parameters such as the concentrations of nitric acid, CMPO, and TBP. The results were compared with those obtained in CMPO-TBP/n-dodecane (n-DD). With comparable concentrations of the extractants, the distribution ratios obtained with RTILs were much higher than those obtained with n-DD. It was observed that the extraction efficiency was less for Eu(III) than for Am(III). The extraction of Am(III) and Eu(III) decreased with increases in the feed acidity for all three RTILs. The results suggest that the extraction of Am(III) and Eu(III) by CMPO in RTILs from nitric acid proceeds through the cation-exchange mechanism. The distribution ratios of Am(III) and Eu(III) increased with increases in the concentration of CMPO for all three RTILs. A linear regression analysis of the extraction data resulted in a straight line with a slope of about 3, suggesting the involvement of 3 molecules of CMPO during the extraction process.

In this work, we tested commercial organic solvent nanofiltration (OSN) membranes using both in-house dead-end and crossflow systems. Four different crosslinked polyimide Duramem (DM) OSN membranes with various MWCO (molecular weight cut off) values were tested in organic solvents such as ethanol, N,N-dimethylformamide, acetone and acetonitrile. The membranes exhibited more reliable and reproducible performance in the crossflow system, and the performance changed significantly depending in the physical properties of the testing solvent. This is due to the initial stabilization period via pressure-induced compaction phenomenon, which can be vastly different between membrane samples. Hence, to obtain reliable and reproducible results, crossflow system is the preferred choice.

In this study, core-crosslinked amphiphilic polymer (CCAP) nanoparticles prepared using a reactive amphiphilic polymer precursor (RARP) were used for preparing some valuable compounds encapsulated polymer nanoparticles with high payload through nanoprecipitation process. Various solvents (acetone, ethanol, and THF) having different polarity and CCAP nanoparticles prepared using different amphiphilicity were used for the preparation of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol encapsulated polymer nanoparticles to investigate their effects on the encapsulation efficiency, payload, nanoparticle size, and stability. CCAP dissolved in hydrophobic solvent, THF, could form ${\alpha}$-tocopherol encapsulated polymer nanoparticles dispersed in water with the high payload of ${\alpha}$-tocopherol and encapsulation efficiency. Because of their physically and chemically robust nano-structure originated from crosslinking of the hydrophobic core, CCAP nanoparticles could encapsulate ${\alpha}$-tocopherol with the high payload (33 wt%) and encapsulation efficiency (97%), and form 70 nm-sized stable nanoparticles in water.

In molecular biology, type-II restriction endonuclease, which specifically recognize and cleave DNA at a limited number of sites, have been exploited as a means of characterizing DNA fragments, DNA mapping for genetic engineering. Type-II restriction endonucleases have been found to modulate their substrate specificity under modified conditions such as extreme pH, ionic strength, high enzyme concentration, substitution of metallic cofactors or addition of organic solvents. This study was initiated to investigate the modification of recognition specificity of BamHI according to the different pH and organic solvent under the given buffer condition. The specificity of BamHI is highly depends on the presence of hydrophobicity (LogP: partition coefficient) and pH of reaction solution. The specificity of BamHI is changed in range of LogP -1.03∼-1.35(at pH 7.5), -1.03∼-2.5 (at pH 8.0), -0.75∼-0.25(at pH 8.5), 0.32∼-2.5(at pH 8.9), respectively. Alteration of specificity appears in lower concentration of organic solvent when the reaction occurs in more alkali pH. For example, in DMSO solution, alteration of specificity appears in 20% concentration at pH 7.5 but in 4% concentration at pH 8.9.

Trioctylamine-and tricaprylylmethylammonium chloride-tungstate salts have been prepared by solvent extraction from the sodium tungstate solution of various acidities(pH = 2, 4, 6). The molecular weights of the amine-tungstate salts thus obtained could be cryoscopically measured in benzene by means of a home-built Wheatstone bridge utilizing thermistor with sensitivity of 1/$4000^{\circ}C$. The cryoscopic data along with the results of chemical analysis and infrared spectra of the salts indicate that the amine-tungstates prepared at pH = 2 and 4 are all metatungstate whereas the salt obtained at pH = 6 is an unknown form quite different from the expected paratungstate.R = 0.14. By hydrogen bonding a guanidyl nitrogen of a sulfaguanidine molecule is linked to the sulfonyl oxygens of the other molecules indirectly through two different water molecules. The role of water molecule is both a .
nor and an acceptor in hydrogen-bonding formation and these hydrogen bonds are tetrahedrally o？ented. The hydrogen-bonding networks form infinite molecular layers parallel to (001) plane.

The circular dichroism (CD) spectrum of trans-[Co(R,R-chxn)$_2Cl_2]^+$ complex with different counter-ions have been measured in several organic solvents, where R,R-chxn is (1R,2R)-1,2-diaminocyclohexane. The observed variations in the CD spectrum of the complex exhibited remarkable solvent dependences. And it has been observed that the degree of the change of CD spectrum in the first absorption band region $(^1A_{2g})$ depends on the donor number (DN) of the solvents. From $^1H$ NMR spectrum, it is interpreted that these variations in the CD spectrum of trans-[Co(R,R-chxn)$_2Cl_2]^+$ complex are due to the favorable interaction between solvent molecules and the equatorial N-H protons of R,R-chxn ligands.

The goal of this study was to identify new bioactive peptides in extracts derived from Tenebrio molitor (T. molitor) larvae for the development of functional foods. After extraction from freeze-dried T. molitor larvae with various solvents on time course, the extracts showed the highest 2,2,1-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH) scavenging activity at 5 and 10 hr per total protein and solid contents, respectively. When the water extract was fractionated, a high methanol concentration led to a reduced level of high-molecular-weight proteins in the centrifugal supernatant, whereas increased DPPH activity in the supernatants suggests low-molecular-weight peptides may mediate antioxidant activity in the supernatant. Most of the organic solvent partitions, excluding butanol, showed similar activities in the water phases, and the organic solvent partition fraction exhibited a 28~44% decrease in activity following heat treatment, implying that some components in the fraction become unstable in the presence of heat. The addition of proteinase K to the water extract increased DPPH activity by 10~20%, suggesting that peptides, when released from total proteins, partially increase antioxidant activity. Therefore, we suggest that the antioxidants in T. molitor larval extracts make them a potential source of functional animal food.
