Carboxymethyl chitin(CM-chitin) was prepared by the reaction of alkali chitin with monochloroacetic acid in isopropyl alcohol. According to the pH variation, the adsorptivity of this chelating polymer to the alkali-earth metal ions such as $Ca^{2+},\;Mg^{2+}$, $Sr^{2+}$, $Ba^{2+}$ ions was determined by batch method. The adsorption tendency of this chelating polymer to most metal ions was increased with the increase of pH. The highest degree of adsorption was observed toward $Ca^{2+}$ ion among the alkali-earth metal ions. The selectivity adsorption property toward $Ca^{2+}$ ion was examined in the solution of $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ ions, and it was observed that CM-chitin showed excellent selectivity to $Ca^{2+}$ ion than $Mg^{2+}$ ion. $Mg^{2+}$ ion bound to CM-chitin molecule in the presence of $Ca^{2+}$ ion owing to low equilibrium constant. In the adsorption experiment of $Ca^{2+}$ and $Mg^{2+}$ ions to the CM-chitin under coexistence of $Na^+$ and $K^+$ ions, it observed that adsorptivity of only $Ca^{2+}$ ions was not affected by these monovalent cations.

A new 3-amino-1,3-thiazoline chemical library was synthesized through parallel synthetic technology and in vivo antifungal activity of the compounds were investigated against the typical 6 plant diseases (100 ppm). The characteristic feature of these derivatives was that both a benzyl moiety in C-2 imino and an amino group in C-3 of 2-imino-1,3-thiazoline scaffold were substituted in the molecule respectively. Some compounds showed antifungal activity with selectivity against tomato late blight and rice blast. The fungitoxicity would be attributed to 3,4-dichlorophenyl moiety of the benzyl group.

MFI(Mobil Five) structured hydrophobic ZSM-5 zeolite membrane was used for selective pervaporation of trichlorinated organic compounds(trichloromethane, trichloroethane, trichloroethylene) from their aqueous solutions. ZSM-5 zeolite membrane was hydrothermally synthesized on the inside of a porous stainless steel tube by secondary growth employing ZSM-5 seed powders. Separation factors for each binary mixtures were observed $16{\sim}66$ for trichloromethane/water, $3.3{\sim}4.6$ for trichloroethane/water and $1.4{\sim}8$ for trichloroethylene/water at the experimental conditions of the feed mole fraction from 0.0001 to 0.001 with temperature ranged $25{\sim}35^{\circ}C$.

We synthesized $TiO_2$ ($Ru_x/TiO_2$) incorporating $TiO_2$ and Ru via an one-step hydrothermal method. The physical properties were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDS) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The prepared samples were applied as a catalyst for the oxidation of benzyl alcohol to benzaldehyde using molecular oxygen ($O_2$). Especially, the catalytic activities increased as the contents of ruthenium in $TiO_2$ increased without the formation of any byproducts.

그라프트중합법은 고분자막이나 직포, 부직포, 합성지 등에 기존 소재의 특성을 손상하지 않고 여러 가지 기능을 가진 관능기를 부여할 수 있다는 점에서 각종 섬유 및 범용성 고분자 소재의 개질 및 특성부여 방법으로 이용되고 있다[1,2,3]. 광조사에 의한 그라프트 중합법은 빛의 침투가 약하고 활성점이 균일하게 형성되지 못한다는 단점이 있으나 그 취급의 용이성 및 안전성, 설비의 경제성 및 실용성이 높을 뿐만 아니라 원재료의 물성을 크게 손상시키지 않으면서 특정 단량체를 그 표면에 도입시킬수 있어 섬유 및 고분자 재료의 표면성질이나 친수성 개선뿐만 아니라 역삼투성 및 이온선택투과성과 같은 기능성의 부여 등에도 적용 가능함이 확인되었다[4].

In this study, four soluble homo- and co-polyimides using 5-(2,5-dioxotetrahydrofuryl)-3-methyl-3-cyclohexene-1,2-dicarboxylic anhydride (DOCDA) and 4,4'-diaminodiphenyl ether (ODA) monomers were synthesized to develop the gas separation membrane with good $CO_2/CH_4$ separation properties. To prepare the copolyimides, 20 mol% of three dianhydrides - (4,4'-(hexafluoroisoproplidene)diphthalic anhydride (6FDA), 4,4'-biphthalic anhydride (BPDA), 3,3',4,4'-benzophenone tetracarboxylic dianhydride (BTDA) - were added in DOCDA-ODA monomer mixture, respectively. All the synthesized homo- and co-polyimides were characterized by FT-IR. Their thermal properties were analyzed with differential scanning calorimeter (DSC). Dense membranes were prepared from these copolyimides to check their gas permeation properties for $CO_2$ and $CH_4$ gases using a time-lag method. The permeation testing results are as follows; DOCDA/ODA homopolymer showed 1.71 barrer of $CO_2$ permeability and 74.35 of $CO_2/CH_4$ selectivity. The three polyimide copolymers (DOCDA/6FDA-ODA, DOCDA/BPDA-ODA, DOCDA/BTDA-ODA) showed lower $CO_2/CH_4$ selectivities and higher $CO_2$ permeabilities than the homopolymer (DOCDA-ODA). DOCDA/6FDA-ODA showed twice times higher $CO_2$ permeabilities without severe $CO_2/CH_4$ selectivity loss than the DOCDA-ODA.

This paper presents a practical inversion method for recovering a three-dimensional (3D) resistivity model and static shifts simultaneously. Although this method is based on a Gauss-Newton approach that requires a sensitivity matrix, the computer time can be greatly reduced by implementing a simple and effective procedure for updating the sensitivity matrix using the Broyden's algorithm. In this research, we examine the approximate inversion procedure and the weighting factor ${\beta}$ for static shifts through inversion experiments using synthetic MT data. In methods using the full sensitivity matrix constructed only once in the iteration process, a procedure using the full sensitivity in the earlier stage is useful to produce the smallest rms data misfit. The choice of ${\beta}$ is not critical below some threshold value. Synthetic examples demonstrate that the method proposed in this paper is effective in reconstructing a 3D resistivity structure from static-shifted MT data.

Recently, the peptide(or protein)-polymer hybrid materials (PPs) were sought in many research areas as potential building blocks for assembling nanostructures in selective solvents. In PPs, the facile routes of preparing well-defined peptide-polymer bio-conjugates and their specific activities in various applications are important issues. Our strategy to prepare the peptide-polymer hybrid materials was to combine atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) method with solid phase peptide synthesis. The standard solid phase peptide synthesis method was employed to prepare the PYGK (proline-tyrosine-glycine-lysine) peptide. PYGK is an analogue peptide, PFGK (proline-phenylalanine-glycine-lysine), which interacted with plasminogen in fibrinolysis. The peptide and the peptide-initiator were characterized with MALDI-TOF mass spectrometry and $^1H$ NMR spectrometer. The peptide-polymer, pSt-PYGK was characterized by GPC, IR, $^1H$ NMR spectrometer and TLC. Spherical micellar aggregates were determined by TEM and SEM. Current synthesis methodology suggested opportunities to create the well-defined peptide-polymer hybrid materials with specific binding activity.

High specific surface area zirconia with acid-basic property was synthesized by precipitation using reflux method or hydrothermal synthesis method using ammonium hydroxide solution as precipitant in the range of pH of Zr solution from 2 to 10. The prepared zirconia was characterized by the nitrogen adsorption, X-ray diffraction (XRD), isopropanol temperature programmed desorption (IPA-TPD), scanning electron microscopy and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and the catalytic activity in the IPA decomposition reaction was correlated with the acid-basic properties. When using reflux method, high pH of Zr solution was required to obtain high fraction of tetragonal zirconia, and pure tetragonal zirconia was possible at pH 9 or higher. High pH was required to obtain high specific surface area zirconia, and the hydrous zirconia synthesized at pH 10 had high specific surface area zirconia of $260m^2g^{-1}$ even after calcination at $600^{\circ}C$. However, hydrothermal synthesis with high pressure under the same conditions resulted in very low specific surface area below $40m^2g^{-1}$ and monoclinic phase zirconia was synthesized. High pH of the solution was required to obtain high specific surface area tetragonal phase zirconia. In hydrothermal synthesis requiring high pressure, monoclinic zirconia was produced irrespective of the pH of the solution, and the specific surface area was relatively low. Zirconia with high specific surface area and tetragonal phase was predominantly acidic compared to basicity and only propylene, which was observed as selective dehydration reaction in IPA decomposition reaction, was produced.
