Bisphenol A is widely used in plastic and other industrial consumer products. Release of bisphenol A and its analogues into the aquatic environment during manufacture, use and disposal has been a great scientific and public concern due to their toxicity and endocrine disrupting effects on aquatic wildlife and even human beings. More recent studies have shown that these alkylphenols may affect the molting processes and survival of crustacean species such as American lobster, crab and shrimp. In this study, we have developed gas chromatography with flame ionization detection (GC-FID) and gas chromatography-mass spectrometric (GC-MS) methods for the determination of bisphenol A and its analogues in shrimp Macrobrachium rosenbergii, blue crab Callinectes sapidus and American lobster Homarus americanus samples. Bisphenol A, 2,4-bis-(dimethylbenzyl)phenol and 4-cumylphenol were found in shrimp in the concentration ranges of 0.67-5.51, 0.36-1.61, and < LOD (the limit of detection)-1.96 ng/g (wet weight), and in crab of 0.10-0.44, 0.13-0.62, and 0.26-0.58 ng/g (wet weight), respectively. In lobster tissue samples, bisphenol A, 2-t-butyl-4-(dimethylbenzyl)phenol, 2,6-bis-(t-butyl)-4-(dimethylbenzyl)phenol, 2,4-bis-(dimethybenzyl)phenol, 2,4-bis-(dimethylbenzyl)-6-t-butylphenol and 4-cumylphenol were determined at the concentration ranges of 4.48-7.01, 1.23-2.63, 2.71-9.10, 0.35-0.91, 0.64-3.25, and 0.44-1.00 ng/g (wet weight), respectively. At these concentration levels, BPA and its analogs may interfere the reproduction and development of crustaceans, such as larval survival, molting, metamorphosis and shell hardening.

기능화 탄소나노튜브인 4-cumylphenol-MWNT(CP-MWNT)를 이용하여 초고분자량 폴리에틸렌(ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE))/CP-MWNT 복합체 필름을 용액 삽입법을 이용하여 제조하였다. 0에서 2.00 wt%까지의 서로 다른 CP-MWNT의 농도에 따라 만들어진 복합체 필름의 열적, 기계적, 기체 투과도 및 광학 투명성 등의 변화를 시차주사열량계, 열중량분석기, 전계 방사형 주사전자현미경과 인장시험기를 사용하여 측정하였다 복합체 필름은 기능화된 탄소나노튜브를 소량 첨가하여도 열역학적 특성이 향상되는 것을 확인할 수 있으며 0.50에서 1.00 wt%의 농도에서 최대값을 가진다. CP-MWNT의 농도가 1.00 wt%일 때 필름의 산소 기체 차단성은 최대 향상을 나타내었다. 전체적으로는 CP-MWNT가 첨가된 복합체 필름의 열적-기계적 성질 및 기체 투과도 등은 순수한 UHMWPE보다 더 향상되었다.
