Alginate-chitosan (anion-cationic polymeric complex) was prepared to control the release rate of silver sulfadiazine (AgSD). Na-alginate (2%) solution containing AgSD was gelled in $CaCl_2$ solution. The gel beads formed were immediately encapsulated with chitosan (CS). The gel matrix and membrane were then reinforced with chondroitin-6-sulfate (Ch6S). Release rate of AgSD from the gel matrix was investigated by placing alginate beads in the sac of cellulose membrane simmered in HEPES-buffer solution. The concentration of AgSD released was analyzed by UV at 264 nm. Incorporation capacity of AgSD in Ca-alginate gel was more than 90%. Alginate-Ch6S-CS could control the release rate of AgSD. The amount of AgSD release was dependent on the AgSD loading dose. Incorporation of tripolyphosphate (polyanionic crosslinker) onto the alginate-Ch6S-CS bead increased the release rate of AgSD. Collagen-coating had no influence on the AgSD release rate. Alginate-Ch6S-CS beads with a sufficiently high AgSD encapsulation were capable of controlling the release of the drug over 10 days. In summary, alginate-Ch6S-CS beads could be used as a sustained delivery for AgSD and provide local targeting with low silver toxicity and patient discomfort.

[ $CdSe_xTe_{1-x}$ ] ($0{\le}x{\le}1$) thin films were deposited cathodically on Ti substrates in aqueous sulfric acid solution containing 1M $CdSO_4$ and 1mM$(TeO_2+SeO_2)$. The limiting current was observed in deposition potential ranging from -0.20 to -0.65 vs.Ag/AgCl ; although its value has changed a little depending on the mole ratio x, the limiting current was almost constant in deposition potential of -0.45V in spite of the change of mole ratio x. The crystal structure of the $CdSe_xTe_{1-x}$ thin films was cubic zinc-blonde in the range of mole ratio $x=0{\sim}0.8$, and hexagonal wurtzite in the mole ratio x=1 When the mole ratio changed from x=0 to x=0.8, diffraction peaks was shifted to the larger diffraction angle.

We give pressure stimulation into organic thin films and then manufacture a device under the accumulation condition that the state surface pressure is 10[mN/m]. In processing of a device manufacture, we can see the process is good from the change of a surface pressure for organic thin films and transfer ratio of area per molecule. The structure of manufactured device is Au/Poly-${\gamma}$ Benzyl $_D$-Glutamate/Al and Au/Poly-${\gamma}$ Benzyl $_D$-Glutamate/Au; the number of accumulated layers is 1, 3, 5 and 7. Also, we then examined of the MIM device by means of I-V. The I-V characteristic of the device is measured from 0 to +2[V]. We determined electrochemical measurement by using cyclic voltammetry with a three-electrode system. LB film accumulated by monolayer on an ITO. In the cyclicvoltammetry, An Ag/AgCl reference electrode, a platinum wire counter electrode and LB film-coated ITO working electrode measured in $LiBF_4$ solution, stable up to 0.9V vs. Ag/AgCl.

The response characteristics of the bioelectrode developed by the co-immobilization of spinach root tissue and ferrocene in a carbon paste matrix for the amperometric determination of hydrogen peroxide were evaluated. In the range of electrode potential examined (-0.3~0.0V vs. Ag/AgCl). the response time was relatively short ($t_{95%}=11.8$ sec) and it responded in the wide range of pH. Also, its detection limit was $2.25{\times}10^{-6}M$ (S/N=3) and a relative standard deviation of the measurements which were repeated 15 times using $1.0{\times}10^{-3}M$ hydrogen peroxide was 1.87%. The bioelectrode sensitivity decreased to 40% of the original value in 19 days of continuous use.

An HRP immobilized carbon paste electrode, which was bound by EPDM, was newly fabricated and its electrochemical properties were investigated for the purpose of validating the new possibility for the practical use of biosensor. In the experimental range of substrate concentration, Lineweaver-Burk plot of the signal showed a good linearity. This means that HRP was embedded effectively to preserve its identity in the bulk of composite electrode materials and EPDM is a recommendatory binder. When the electrode was run at low operating potential($0.0\sim-1.0$ V vs. Ag/AgCl), it showed a high sensitivity and a good reproducibility. Especially the mechanical stability of the dried rubber was a remarkable breakthrough to get over a difficulty in putting the carbon-paste electrode bound with silicon oil to real use.

The electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction to produce acetaldehyde, methanol and ethanol is investigated by using perovskite type electrode ($La_{0.9}$$Sr_{0.1}$$CuO_3$). The experiments were Performed under 100 mA/cm2 and -2 to -2.5 V vs. Ag/AgCl. The highest faradaic efficiencies for methanol, ethanol, acetaldehyde were 11.6, 15.3, and 6.2%, respectively. The experimental data demonstrated that the capability of the perovskite type oxide for the electrode of electrochemical carbon dioxide reduction to produce alcohols was superior to other metal electrode. Key words : Perovskite, Electrode, Alcohol Formation, Electrochemical Reduction, Carbon Dioxide Fixation.

The response characteristics of a new biosensor, which was developed by co-immobilisation of chicken liver tissue and ferrocene in a carbon paste matrix for the amperometric determination of hydrogen peroxide, was evaluated. In the range of electrode potential observed ( - 0.5∼ + 0.05 V vs Ag/AgCl), the bioelectrode showed the response time ($t_{95%}$) as low as 13 sec and the detection limit of $5.1{\times}10^{-5}$ M, and exhibited a good selectivity in the case of the addition of the possible interferents tested. Also it offered a high biocatalytic stability and opened up the possibility for the construction of a mediatorless biosensor.

The electrochemical reduction of 0,0-dimethyl-0-(3-methyl-4 -nitrophenyl)-phosphorothioate ($Sumithion^{(R)}$) in acetonitrile solution has been studied by direct current (DC), differential pulse (DP) polarography and cyclic voltammetry methods. The irreversible electron-transfer chemical reaction (EC) mechanism of Sumithion proceeds by six electron-transfer to form radical and reduction of three-step which undergoes single bond of the phosphorus atom & phenoxy group by electron-transfer and protonation cleaved to give p-hydroxyamino-m-cresol and dimethylthiophosphonate as major product.

Zinc oxide(ZnO) thin films were cathodically deposited on ITO glass from an aqueous zinc nitrate electrolyte. Three main fabrication parameters were taken into account : deposition potential, solution concentration and growth temperature. Different layers of ZnO thin films grown by varying the three parameters were studied by X-ray diffraction, scanning electron microscope and optical absorption spectroscopy. The prepared ZnO thin films were shown as a hexagonal wurtzite structure on the X-ray diffraction patterns and the good quality of ZnO thin films were obtained by potentiostatic cathodic deposition at -0.7V vs. Ag/AgCl reference electrode onto ITO glass from aqueous 0.1 mol/liter zinc nitrate electrolyte at $60^{\circ}C$.
