In this study, a hot-firing test of a lab-scale gel rocket motor using liquid kerosene and gelled kerosene as fuel was performed in order to analyze the discrepancy of the static and dynamic pressure between the two fuels. The static pressure, characteristic velocity, and characteristic velocity efficiency of the liquid kerosene and gelled kerosene did not show any significant difference. However, in the case of dynamic pressure characteristics, the pressure oscillation amplitude in a specific high frequency region of the gelled kerosene demonstrated a significantly higher amplitude than liquid kerosene case. This is considered to be the effect of an intrinsic combustion mechanism of the gel propellant, and it can be postulated that this may act as a dominant factor influencing the high frequency combustion instability of the gel rocket motor.

Apart from hydrates, asphaltenes, and inorganic minerals, paraffinic waxes are also very important in flow assurance area. Evaluation of wax gel behavior has been important as off-shore oil recovery becomes more popular in oil production. Restart after either planned or emergency shutdown requires pump operation in high pressure since a waxy oil forms troublesome gel. In this paper, vane method is introduced to determine wax gel strength by determining yield stress. Prediction of gel strength are discussed in qualitative and quantitative manners.

이 연구의 목적은 원래의 치수조직과 유사한 조직을 재생하기 위한 pulp tissue engineering의 한 방법으로 건전한 조직으로부터 배양된 치수세포와 쥐의 조섬유세포(NIH 3T3 cell)를 Rat tail type I collagen solution에서 3차원적으로 관찰하기 위한 것으로, 콜라젠 젤의 수축량과 세포의 증식 량을 비교하였으며, 또한 마모된 사람치아의 표면과 배양용기에서 두 세포의 증식 량을 비교하여 다음과 같은 결과를 얻었다. 1. 콜라젠 젤에 NIH 3T3 세포를 배양한 경우 그 수축량은 최소였으나, 치수세포를 배양한 경우 그 수축량은 현저하였다. 2. 서로 다른 수의 치수세포를 콜라젠 젤에서 배양시킨 경우 세포 수가 많을수록 수축량이 증가하였으며, 세포가 없는 콜라젠 젤은 수축하지 않았다. 3. 치수세포를 콜라젠 젤에서 18일간 배양시킨 후 세포의 증식은 거의 없는 반면, NIH 3T3 세포는 계속 증식하였다. 4. 마모된 사람 치아 표면과 배양 용기에서 치수세포와 NIH 3T3세포를 배양한 경우 NIH 3T3세포가 치수세포에 비해 빠르게 증식 하였으며 , 특히 사람 치아의 표면에서 NIH 3T3세포가 현저히 빠른 증식을 보였다. 이상의 결과는 치수세포를 type I collagen gel에서 3차원 적으로 배양 후 치수조직의 재생을 유도하는 pulp tissue engineering에 관한 연구에 발판이 될 것으로 사료된다.

The PVA hydrogels were prepared by the chemical and irradiation method to improve the heat resistance of these hydrogels at the high temperature. The physical properties such as the gel content, the degree of swelling and the gel strength for the synthesized hydrogels were examined. Gel content increased as the chemical reaction time and the irradiation dose increased, and gel content of the hydrogels were higher when the two-steps of chemical and irradiation method were used rather than only the chemical method. Gel strength increased as the chemical reaction time increased, and as the irradiation dose decreased. The hydrogels prepared by the chemical reaction for 5 hours and the two-steps had the heat resistance at the high temperature.

On this study, we have observed the change of the gel nail morphology as the time elapse and measured the surface roughness/volume, moisture content/purcutaneous moisture vaporizing amount of the nail surface before gel nail treatment and after gel nail removing of the 100%acetone remover, 5%acetone remover and 0%acetone remover and the avocado non acetone remover for the comparison of the effect on the nail surface and the degree of the removing of the gel nail of the removers as the acetone contents. The removing ability were the order of 100%acetone remover, avocado non acetone remover, 5%acetone remover and the 0%acetone remover. There were no statistical significance difference in the nail surface roughness comparision before and after gel nail removing in 5%acetone, 0%acetone and avocado non acetone, and there was no statistical significance difference in the nail surface volume comparision before and after gel nail removing in 0%acetone. We measured the moisture content of the nail surface and the purcutaneous moisture vaporizing amount before gel nail treatment and after gel nail removing, resulted that, the decrease of the moisture content of the nail surface after removing the gel nail is the minimun and the increase of the purcutaneous moisture vaporizing amount of the nail surface after removing the gel nail is the minimun at the case of 0%acetone. In conclusion, 5%acetone remover and 0%acetone remover is possible to use as the gel nail remover and they had revealed that there was the least harmful effect on the nail. We hope that this study is utilized to the development of the non acetone remover and the basic research of the nail beauty industry.

LDH와 BG 효소 활성도는 두 군 모두 현저히 감소하였고, 비록 통계학적인 유의성은 관찰할 수 없었으나 치근활택술 후 테트라싸이클린 젤을 병용한 군에서 감소량이 더 크게 나타났다.

This study attempted to investigate the perception of safety of regular polish and gel polish and degree of nail damage. For this, a questionnaire survey and an experiment were performed against women in their 20-50s, and the results found the followings: In terms of effectiveness, safety and degree of nail damage, gel polish was higher than regular polish. In addition, moisture/sebum levels and trans-epidermal water loss (TEWL) decreased after the experiment. Specifically, such reduction was greater in gel polish. When the nail surface was observed by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) after polish removal, gel polish revealed severe nail damage. The above results confirm that gel polish is greater than regular polish in terms of influence on the degree of nail damage. Therefore, it is anticipated that the study results would be available as basic data in keeping nails healthy and beautiful.

This study was conducted to investigate the effects of starch concentrations and heating conditions on the gel characteristics of arrowroot starch. Arrowroot starch gels with various pHs, and starch concentrations, were prepared using different temperatures and heating times, and then stored for 24 hrs at $4^{\circ}C$. The hardness of sample gels made at pH 2.0 and 4.0 increased as the starch concentration increased from 7% to 10%, with the maximum value of 94 N being obtained when the gel was prepared at pH 4.0 with a starch concentration of 10%. The maximum hardness of samples prepared with concentrations of starch ranging from 7~9% appeared at $80^{\circ}C$, regardless of the heating temperature and time. Furthermore, the hardness of samples prepared at greater than $100^{\circ}C$ was relatively lower than that of samples prepared at other temperatures. When a starch concentration of 8% was used, the degree of gelatinization(DR) increased as the heating temperature increased, with the maximum value of DR being about 76% at $120^{\circ}C$, regardless of heating time. After storage for 24 hrs, the hardness of samples prepared at $70^{\circ}C$, $80^{\circ}C$ and $90^{\circ}C$ appeared to decrease, while that of samples prepared at $100^{\circ}C$, $110^{\circ}C$ and $120^{\circ}C$ increased. The correlation between hardness and the degree of gelatinization or retrogradation was very high when samples were prepared at $80^{\circ}C$ with a starch concentration of 9%, as indicated by a correlation coefficient of greater than 0.95. Overall, the microstructures of freeze-dried arrowroot starch gel were composed of a continuous network of amylose and amylopectin with fragmented ghost structures in an excluded phase, but these ghost structures were more evident after storage and with increased heating temperature.

Thermosensitive poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) gels containing temperature-sensitive liposomes showing temperature-dependent sol-gel transition were prepared. The surface of temperature-sensitive liposome was modified with copolymers of N-isopropylacrylamide and octadecylacrylate, which exhibited a lower critical solution temperature at around 30 $^{\circ}C$ After mixing the modified temperature-sensitive liposomes with poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) solution, the temperature-sensitive 1iposomes formed physically cross-linked gels through heating the solution above their lower critical solution temperatures. The release of drug from temperature-sensitive liposomes was determined by measuring fluorescence intensity. The drug release from temperature-sensitive liposomes in poly(N-isopropylacrylamide) gel gradually showed sustained-release with increasing temperature.

최근 새로운 천연가스 수송/저장법으로 가스 하이드레이트 형성법이 주목받고 있다.본 연구에서는 천연가스의 저장 매체로 다공성 매질인 실리카 젤을 사용하였다. 다공성 실리카 젤을 사용할 경우 물과 기체의 접촉면적을 극대화 시킬 수 있어 가스하이드레이로의 전환율을 높일 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 천연가스 주성분인 에탄과 프로판 기체를 사용하였으며, 기공의 직경이 각각 6.0 nm, 15.0 nm, 30.0 nm, 100.0 nm의 다공성 실리카 젤을 사용하였다. 에탄은 270 $\sim$ 285 K의 온도범위와 9 $\sim$ 25 bar의 압력범위, 프로판은 260 $\sim$ 280 K의 온도범위와 1.8 $\sim$ 2.8 bar의 압력범위에서 기공 크기의 분포를 고려하여 하이드레이트(H)-물($L_W$)-기상(V)의 3상 평형점을 측정하였다. 측정 결과 기공의 크기가 작아질수록 각각의 벌크 상태의 에탄 및 프로판 하이드레이트에 비해 하이드레이트의 평형조건이 온도는 낮아지고 압력이 높아지는 저해효과가 커짐을 알 수 있었다. 천연가스 수송/저장으로서 응용을 고려할 경우 저해효과가 적은 100.0 nm이상의 다공성 실리카 젤을 사용하는 것이 적절할 것으로 사료된다. 본 연구에서 얻어진 결과는 천연가스 수송/저장뿐만 아니라 심해저 천연가스 개발, 이산화탄소 심해저장 등의 가스 하이드레이트 용용 연구에도 유용한 기초 자료가 될 것이다.
