The change of electronic absorption spectra of the fullerene $C_{60}$ in the visibJe- near UV range was examined when the molecules aggregated into different clusters such as clusters in solution and clusters in thin films. Absorption peaks were observed at 2.73 eV. These peaks did probably not come from the feature of the isolated molecules but from the direct interaction of the molecules. Absorption peaks were also observed at 3.35 eV from grained fullerene films. We think these peaks came from the interaction of the molecules at interfaces of grains. Dichroism of this absorption was also found from samples with anisotropic macrostructures.

SAPO-11 was synthesized hydrothermally and dealuminated with $H_4$EDTA. The framework structure of SAPO-11 was maintained safely by 24 hours' dealumination, but further dealumination for 48 hours caused SAPO-11 collapsed and to be changed to variscite($AIPO_4{\cdot}2H_2O$) and tridymite($SiO_2$). Dealuminated SAPO-11 showed two structural hydroxyl bands at 3607 $cm^{-1}$ and 3453 $cm^{-1}$ respectively. The intensities of these two bands increased according to the extent of dealumination, and disappeared by the adsorption of methylamine. Dealuminated SAPO-11 showed higher desorption temperatures and greater activation energies in desorption of water and methylamine compared to non-dealuminated SAPO-11. All the phenomena may be due to the stronger interactions of Bronsted acid sites of structural hydroxyl groups generated by dealumination with adsorbed water and methylamine molecules respectively.

Corn starch was modified by the oxidation with sodium hypochlorite(NaOCl) and the changes in the distribution of molecular weight were examined. Corn starch was oxidized with 0.25, 0.5, 0.75, 1.0, and 1.5% active Cl/g of starch at pH 7.0 and 25$^{\circ}C$ for 10 min. Oxidation of corn starch caused a change in the molecular weight distribution of amylopectin. The fraction of highest molecular weight in native starch decreased gradually and the fraction of lower molecular weight increased with increasing oxidation. Also, λ$\sub$max/ and iodine binding capacities of oxidized starches decreased and the soluble carbohydrate content increased by oxidation. The differential scanning calorimetric results of oxidized starches showed that the temperature and enthalpies of gelatinization were not changed by oxidation; however, the more the starch was oxidized, the greater the extent of retrogradation.

The study was carried out to investigate the effects of hydrolysis conditions such as treatment times and concentrations on the solubility of insoluble sericin using the hydrochloric acid solution. When insoluble sericin was hydrolyzed by HCl solution, the solubility was increased with the higher treatment concentration. As the results of electrophoresis of sericin powder obtained by the HCl treatment, a distinguishable band was not confirmed. Average degree of polymerizations(A.D.P.) of sericin hydrolyzed by HCl solution were about 4.2~5.9 and average molecular weights(M.W.) were about 470~670. The longer hydrolysis time reduced the whiteness of sericin powder. As the results of amino acid analysis, the amino acid compositions of the sericin powder from HCl treatment were sililar to that of insoluble sericin, but Tyr. and Arg. were not detected in the powder obtained by HCl treatment. In DSC analysis, thermal deformation and pyrolysis peak located at near 220$^{\circ}C$ and 330$^{\circ}C$.

본 연구에서는 p-type Si (100) 위에 분자선 에피택시 성장방법으로 ZnO 완충층이 삽입된 ZnO 박막을 성장시켰다. ZnO 완충층은 Zn 셀 셔터의 열림/닫힘을 반복하는 성장 멈춤법으로 성장되었다. Zn 셀 셔터의 열림 시간은 4분, 2분, 1분이며 닫힘 시간은 2분으로 동일하게 유지하였다. 이러한 과정은 각각 5, 10, 20회로 반복되었으며 ZnO 완충층을 성장한 후 ZnO 박막은 기존의 분자선 에피택시 방법으로 성장되었다. ZnO 박막의 구조적, 광학적 특성은 field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM), atomic force microscopy (AFM), X-ray diffraction (XRD), photoluminescence (PL)로 조사하였다. SEM 측정결과 성장 멈춤 횟수가 증가함에 따라 ZnO 박막의 표면은 섬(island) 구조에서 미로(maze) 구조로 변화하였고, XRD 측정결과 full-width at half-maximum (FWHM) 이 감소하고 결정립 크기(grain size)가 증가하였다. 그리고 PL 측정결과 성장 멈춤 횟수가 증가함에 따라 near-band-edge emission (NBE) 피크의 세기가 증가하였고 deep-level emission (DLE) 피크의 위치는 오렌지 발광에서 녹색 발광으로 청색편이(blue-shift)하였다.

Humic and fulvic acids present in soil of different depth were extracted and their characteristics were analyzed as a basic study to evaluate the effect of humic substances on the behaviour of radioactive elements deposited on soil. Molecular size distribution of the humic and fulvic acids was measured by stirred cell ultrafiltration technique and the structural informations were obtained from their UV-Vis., IR and synchronous fluorescence (SyF) spectral analysis. Main molecular size ranges of the soil 1) humic and fulvic acids were 30~100 kDa (46~56%) and 10~30 kDa (33~43%) respectively, and their overall molecular sizes were found to became smaller with increasing the soil depth. Absorptivities measured at 280 nm in the UV-Visible spectra of humic acids were 1.4~1.5 times higher than those of fulvic acids, and increased with increasing the soil depth. SyF spectral data showed two distinct peak components having maximum peak positions of 428 nm (type I) and 498 nm (type II) for the soil humic and fulvic acids. From the analysis of the peak components, it was found that humic molecules are mainly made up of aromatic compounds corresponding to longer wavelength (type II), and the molecular components increased with increasing the soil depth. Analysis of IR spectral data indicated that the humic molecules contain a higher relative concentration of carboxylic groups than those of fulvic molecules, and the carboxylic group contents are seen to increase as the soil depth increase.

3D printing technology and its applications have grown rapidly in academia and industry. We consider a 3D printing system designed for the selective laser sintering (SLS) method, which is one of the powder bed fusion (PBF) techniques to build up the final product by layering sintered powder slices. Thermal distortion of printing products is a critical challenge in 3D printing. This study investigates temperature-dependent conformational behaviors of 3D printed samples of sintered poly-ether-ether-ketone (PEEK) powders using molecular dynamics simulations. The wear and chemical resistance properties of PEEK are understood, as it is a well-known biocompatible material used for implants. However, studies on physical phenomena at nanoscale in PEEK are rarely published in public. We simulate dissipative particle dynamics to elucidate how a cavity regime forms in PEEK at different system temperatures. We demonstrate how PEEK structures deform subject to the system temperature distribution.

The molecular size distribution and fluorescence properties of soil fulvic acids (FA) were characterized by using gel filtration chromatography (GFC) and luminescence spectroscopy. The objectives of this work were to fractionate the FA extracted from a forest soil into different nominal molecular size using GFC system and to characterize the fluorescence properties (excitation, emission and synchronous) of these fractions using luminescence spectrometer. The GFC column was calibrated with polyethylene glycols, acetone and dextrane Blue. The total permeation volume of the GFC system was 404 mL and the void volume 130 mL. The GFC molecular weight of the soil FA was in the range of 190~8,900 Dalton and the molecular weight at the peak on the chromatogram was 930 Dalton. The fluorescence intensity ratio ($I_{498nm}/I_{390nm}$) was found to be increased with an increasing molecular weight. This results may suggest that the fulvic acid fractions with high molecular weight have large amount of the condensed aromatic compound.

Tin nanoparticles were synthesized at room temperature by a compulsive reduction reaction using tin(II) acetate and tin(II) chloride precursors. When an identical amount (0.015 g) of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) was added, it was concluded that the probability of abnormally big particles forming increased with an increase in PVP molecular weight, resulting in the wide distribution of Sn nanoparticles. Differential scanning calorimetry measurements were carried out using diethylene glycol solution containing synthesized tin nanoparticles. When the population of specific particles with sizes below 35 nm was adequate, the melting point depression peaks of tin nanoparticles corresponding to the specific size were observed besides an evaporation endothermic peak of DEG during the first heating. Because DEG was evaporated and tin nanoparticles in contact became molten and coarsened during the first heating, a melting peak of bulk tin was only observed at $232^{\circ}C$ during the second heating.
