In this study, 5 solvent soluble polymers were treated on Hanji. Mechanical properties, morphology and oxidation index with thermal aging were measured on the aged Hanji, dewaxed Hanji and polymer treated Hanji. Synthetic polymers(such as polylactic acid, polybutylene succinate, polystyrene) treated Hanji had higher strength and thermal stability than cellulose derivatives(such as cellulose nitrate and cellulose acetate) treated Hanji. Polymer treated Hanji showed a little bit of color change. The oxidation index of PS treated Hanji did not increase with thermal aging because it did not have a carboxyl group in chemical structure. Finally, polystyrene was found to be the most efficient method for strengthening the dewaxed Hanji. The best aging safety and thermal stability were obtained at the polystyrene 3% solution.

A study on the measurement of alpha activity in ground air has been carried out using CA 80-15 and LR 115-1 cellulose nitrate nuclear track detectors. The detection efficiency of the detectors were determined by making use of an $^{241}Am$ alpha source of $0.1{\mu}Ci$ in activity under a known geometrical arrangement. For the field measurement of alpha activity of emanated radon and its progeny in ground air two different radon cups were installed for a certain period of time in two neighbouring ground holes of about 15 cm in diameter and 45 cm in depth. Of the two radon cups one kept closed space during the detecting period, while the other kept open space with a hole enabling the air to ventilate. The etched tracks were read out by a microscope and the results obtained through statistical analysis were evaluated in terms of alpha activity per unit volume of air.

The detection efficiencies of the several solid track detectors were investigated for the determination of boron content in aqueous solution by using the alpha muti-Radioisotope(RI) source. Polycarbonate (Lexan and CR-39) and cellulose nitrate (CN-85 and LR-115) were selected as materials for alpha track detection of boron. Alpha muti-RI source, uranium metal particles and boron standard solution were used for alpha emission. In this study, four solid track detectors(CN-85, LR-115, Lexan and CR-39) were characterized under various etching conditions as well as neutron irradiation conditions. As a result, the CN-85 was turned out to be best to provide good efficiency among the four detectors. The selected solid track detector was utilized for the determination of trace amount of boron in aqueous sample and its results were discussed in the text.

This article focuses how the materials of hatstrings of the 19th to 20th century gat, the Korean top hat for men among the collections of National Folk Museum of Korea, was transformed after port opening treaties with overseas since 1876. As a result of analyzing the materials of the hatstrings, amber, tortoiseshell, wood and bamboo as the traditional materials were used, and ivory, glass (soda glass, lead glass, alkali mixed glass) and plastics (cellulose nitrate, phenol-formaldehyde, polystyrene, acryl) were newly used for the hatstrings. Bamboo, wood and amber were the most frequently used materials. Bamboo was mainly used for the pipe of hatstring and were combined with beads and central decorations of other materials. This shows the trend of bamboo hatstring according to the simplification of the clothing and the culture by Regent Heungseon Daewongun. Ambers were used in the central decorations and beads and the origin of ambers was baltic amber just like the amber relics found in Korea. Compositions of glass were soda glass and alkali mixed glass which were excavated or handed down in Korea from ancient times to Joseon dynasty. But in the case of lead glass, Na2O was detected and it is considered to be a new type lead glass for crafts which came from overseas after port opening since 1876 because it showed the characteristic that it deviates from the lead glass component found in Korea. Plastics such as cellulose nitrate and phenol-formaldehyde were used as new synthetic materials to replace traditional materials such as tortoiseshell, amber, and coral as in the West. Cracks, crazing, crumbly and yellowing of cellulose nitrate of hatstrings were observed by deterioration. The survey of the materials of the 19th to 20th century hatstrings among the collections of National Folk Museum of Korea showed that the introduction of new materials such as glass and plastics were used to replace natural materials such as tortoiseshell and amber along with the use of traditional materials after port opening since 1876.

In this study, silver nanoparticles were synthesized by reducing silver nitrate with PVA, and the solution prepared by adding carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) to the silver nanoparticles was coated on a PET substrate to prepare a coating film with antibacterial and antifogging function. When the coating films were in contact with water vapor at 80 ℃, the uncoated PET substrate was blurred due to the scattering of light due to the occurrence of fog, while the coating film coated with silver nanosol with CMC remained transparent despite contact with water vapor, showing excellent antifogging function. In addition, the antibacterial properties of the coating films were measured by film adhesion method for Staphylococcus aureus, gram-positive bacteria, and Escherichia coli, gram-negative bacteria. The uncoated PET substrate showed a large number of colonies of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, while the coating film coated with the silver nanosol greatly inhibited the growth of Staphylococcus aureus and Escherichia coli, resulting in excellent antibacterial effect.

The most favorable nitrogen source for the production of protease by Aspergillus oryzae PF was 2% soybean flour among sodium nitrate, ammonium sulfate, defatted soybean, skim milk, casein, peptone, and yeast extract. The production of protease from A. oryzae PF was higher at the concentration of 2% lactose than at variable concentration of glucose, sucrose, soluble starch, corn starch, potato starch, wheat starch, rice starch, cellulose, and gum arabic. Protease production was affected by the concentration of KH2PO4, Triton X-100, CaCo3, and MgSO4, and it was the highest at the highest at the concentration of 3% KH2PO4, 0.01% Triton X-100, 0.3% CaCO3, and 0.06% MGSO4.

$\beta$-Lactam antibiotics such as penicillin G, amoxicillin, and ampicillin were determined by a potentiometric biosensor system which exploited penicillinase immobilized on Immobilon cellulose nitrate membrane and a flat-bottomed pH electrode-as the biological component and transducer. The optimum reaction buffer for maximum sensitivity was found as 2 mM of sodium phosphate buffer (pH 7.2). The detection limit of the biosensor could be extended to 1 $\mu{M}$ of the analytes by increasing the enzyme loading for immobilization to 100 units/$m\ell$. The model samples spiked with each of the standard penicillins were measured for their biosensor responses and HPLC peak area, resulting in the relative responses of 82.1-103.5% and 79.5-106.1% for the biosensor method along with HPLC analysis, respectively. This result showed a good precision of the current biosensor method for screening the penicillin compounds.

A study on the elution characteristics of biostimulating agents (sulfate and nitrate) from biostimulants which are used for in-situ bioremediation for the coastal sediment contaminated with organic matter was performed. The biostimulating agents were mixed with the coastal sediment, and then massed the mixture into ball. Two kinds of ball type biostimulant were prepared by coating the ball surface with two different polymers, cellulose acetate and polysulfone. A granular type biostimulant (GTB) was also prepared by impregnating a granular activated carbon in the biostimulating agent solution. The image of scanning electron microscopy for the biostimulant coated with cellulose acetate (CAB) showed that the inner side of the coating layer consisted of irregular and bigger size of pores, and the surface layer had tight structure like beehive. For the biostimulant coated with polyfulfone (PSB), the whole coating layer had a fine structure without pore. The elution rate of the biostimulating agents for the CAB was higher than that for the PSB, and the elution rate for the GTB was considerably higher than that for the PSB in distilled water as well as in sea water. The elution rate of the biostimulating agents in turbulent water flow was about 3 times higher than that in standing water, and the elution rate of nitrate was higher than that of sulfate from the stimulating agents.

We prepared biostimulant balls using sea sediment mixed with biostimulants viz acetate, nitrate and sulfate. The Biostimulant balls were coated with Cellulose Acetate (CA) and Polysulfone (PS) to control the release of the biostimulants. SEM images showed that CA coating was porous and irregular in the inside and very uniform and tight like beehive while PS coating was the same in the inside and outside and not porous. Biostimulants release was found to be high in sea water compared to distilled water. The release of nitrate was higher compared to sulfate. In turbulent environment the release of bionutrients was 50% higher than static environment.

An alkalophilic microorganism named DK-2386, which produces xylanase, was isolated from soil of Taejo-mountain, Cheonan-si, Chungnam, Korea. The isolated strain was characterized as Gram-positive, with size of 0.4${\times}$2.5 ${\mu}$m, spore forming, anaerobic, catalase positive, possessed with hydrolysis abilities of casein, starch, sodium carboxy methyl cellulose, and xylan, reduction of nitrate to nitrite, resistant against lysozyme, urease positive, and motility positive. The color of culture broth was reddish yellow. The strain DK-2386 was identified as Bacillus agaradhaerens by whole cell fatty-acid composition analysis and 16S rDNA sequence analysis. However, it was not identical to Bacillus agaradhaerens 40952 obtained from the Korean Culture Center of Microorganism in its colour of culture broth. Therefore, we have named the newly isolated strain as Bacillus agaradhaerens DK-2386.
