Shape memory polyurethane (SMPU), grafted with a fluorescent dye (Rhodamine, Mehylene violet, or Fluorescein) through an allophanate linking, was tested for the fluorescence and the shape recovery effect. The main chain of SMPU was composed of 4,4'-methylenebis(phenylisocyanate) (MDI), poly(tetramethyleneglycol) (PTMG), and 1,4-butanediol (BD), and a fluorescent dye was connected through a second MDI linked to the carbamate moiety of the main chain. Three series of SMPU, differing according to their dye content, were prepared to compare their shape recovery and fluorescence properties. In tensile mechanical property, maximum stress increased up to 350% compared to the linear SMPU, and strain remained above 2000%. Shape recovery went to as high as 97%, and remained almost same after repetitive shape recovery test cycles. Finally, the fluorescence emission of SMPU was demonstrated in the luminescence spectrum and fluorescent light emission pictures. In addition, the response of SMPU to external stimuli such as metal ions was investigated.

The present study attempted to offer more insights into the foreign consumers' consumption decision structure of Korean restaurants located in foreign countries. A survey was designed based on the means-end chain theory, using the laddering interview technique. The qualitative data obtained from 10 Americans, 10 Japanese, and 10 Chinese were content analyzed and resulted in categories such as 'new experience', 'interest in Korea', 'recommendation', 'good food', 'easy to access', 'service', 'dining environment', and 'price' as perceived attributes of choice. The hierarchical value maps linking attributes, psychological consequences, and terminal values were presented. The most frequent consequences were 'experience new culture', 'be exposed to new experience', and 'learn more about Korea' which were related to 'happiness', 'pleasure', 'good relationship', 'desire fulfillment', and 'self-satisfaction' as personal values. Laddering interviews, which required laborious analysis, provided important information on the relationship between perceived attributes and the reasons for choosing Korean restaurants.

In the 4th Industrial Revolution, the healthcare industry is undergoing a paradigm shift from post-care and management systems based on diagnosis and treatment to disease prevention and management based on personal precision medicine. To optimize medical services for individual patients, an open ecosystem for the healthcare industry that allows the exchange and utilization of personal health records (PHRs) is required. However, under the current system of hospital-centered data management, it is difficult to implement the linking and sharing of PHRs in practice. To address this problem, in this study, we present the design and implementation of a patient-centered PHR platform using blockchain technology. This platform achieved transparency and reliability in information management by eliminating the risk of leakage and tampering/altering personal information, which could occur when using a PHR. In addition, the patient-consent system was applied to a PHR; thus, the patient acted as the user with ownership. The proposed blockchain-based PHR platform enables the integration of personal medical information with scattered distribution across multiple hospitals, and allows patients to freely use their health records in their daily lives and emergencies. The proposed platform is expected to serve as a stepping stone for patient-centered healthcare data management and utilization.

The physical and chemical changes exhibited by high density polyethylene (HDPE) after treatment with hydrogen at a pressure of 90 MPa followed by rapid release of the hydrogen were studied. X-ray diffraction, differential scanning calorimetry, thermo gravimetric analysis, and attenuated total reflectance (ATR)-fourier transform infrared (FTIR) were used for this purpose. As a result, it was found that the degree of crystallinity of HDPE decreased after hydrogen pressure treatment, while the average thickness of lamellae that constitute the crystals and the melting temperature of the crystalline region actually increased. The decomposition temperature also increased by about 3℃. In addition, it was found that the hydrogen bonding network between -OH groups in the HDPE sample was strengthened and partial chain scission occurred. These cut chains were found to be terminated by oxidative degradation such as cross-linking between chains, -C=O, -C-O, and -CHO, or by the formation of -CH₃ at the chain ends, as confirmed by ATR-FTIR.

Dynamic DSC와 TGA를 이용하여 NR/CR 고무복합체의 가황시스템에 따른 가교화반응과 열화반응특성을 연구하였다. 주어진 샘플에 대하여 승온속도를 각각 달리하여 DSC 곡선을 얻었고, 가황반응이 끝난 같은 샘플을 이용하여 TGA에서도 같은 승온 속도의 실험으로 열분해 곡선을 얻은 다음, Kissinger의 해석 방법에 따라 가교 및 열화 반응의 활성화에너지를 구하고 서로 비교하였다. 실험에 사용된 NR/CR 고무복합재료는 대개 $120{\sim}180^{\circ}C$와 $350{\sim}450^{\circ}C$ 사이의 온도영역에서 각각 가교 반응과 열분해반응이 일어나는 것으로 관찰되었으며 Kissinger의 해석방법이 잘 적용될 수 있는 것으로 나타났다. 또한 DSC에 의한 생성 활성화에너지는 $83.0{\pm}5.0kJ/mol$로서 TGA에 의한 분해 활성화에너지인 $147.0{\pm}2.0kJ/mol$보다 매우 낮은 값을 나타내었다. 이러한 사실로부터 가황제/가황촉진제의 조성비 변화는 반응기구의 변화에는 크게 영향을 미치지 않지만 생성반응 시에는 샘플내의 저분자 화합물들과 함께 촉매역할을 하여 활성화에너지를 낮추는 역할을 하게 되는 반면, 반응이 끝난 후에는 더 이상 촉매로서 작용하지 못하게 되며 이에 따라 열분해활성화에너지는 주쇄의 분해반응에 의해 상대적으로 더 높게 나타내게 되는 것으로 생각할 수 있었다.

hFSH는 $\alpha$와 $\beta$ subunit으로 구성된 heterodimer로서 두 subunit의 조합은 활성을 지닌 호르몬의 생산에 있어서 매우 중요한 단계이다. 이 조합과정의 효율을 증대하기 위하여 본 연구에서는 hFSH를 단일사슬의 단백질로 구축하고자 하였으며, 이의 일환으로 각 subunit 대한 cDNA단편을 연결하는 서열로 CTP linker를 도입하였다. 재조합한 hFSH-CTP 유전자는 pseudotype의 retrovirus vector system을 이용하여 CHO 세포와 닭의 배로 각각 전이되었다. CHO 세포에서의 FSH의 생산은 $\alpha$와 $\beta$를 각각 전이한 경우에 비해 hFSH-CTP를 전이한 경우에서 17배 이상 높은 것으로 나타났다. 닭에서는 유전자 전이를 시도한 62개체 중에서 11마리가 부화하였으며 그 중 10마리가 형질전환된 닭인 것으로 RT-PCR을 통하여 확인되었다. 그러나 개체의 혈중 FSH의 생산은 확인하지 못하였다. 이상의 실험 결과를 바탕으로 하여 재조합된 hFSH-CTP는 FSH의 발현에 매우 효율적인 구조로 생각되며, 또한 retrovirus를 이용한 유전자 전이 방법은 형질전환 가금의 생산에 있어서 매우 적절한 방법으로 사료된다.

Modem applications could benefit from multifunctional materials having anisotropic optical, electrical, thermal, or mechanical properties, especially when coupled with locally controlled distribution of the directional response. Such materials are difficult to engineer by conventional methods, but the electric field-aided technology presented herein is able to locally tailor electroactive composites. Applying an electric field to a polymer in its liquid state allows the orientation of chain- or fiber-like inclusions or phases from what was originally an isotropic material. Such composites can be formed from liquid solutions, melts, or mixtures of pre-polymers and cross-linking agents. Upon curing, a 'created composite' results; it consists of these 'pseudofibers' embedded in a matrix. One can also create oriented composites from embedded spheres, flakes, or fiber-like shapes in a liquid plastic. Orientation of the externally applied electric field defines the orientation of the field-aided self-assembled composites. The strength and duration of exposure of the electric field control the degree of anisotropy created. Results of electromechanical testing of these modified materials, which are relevant to sensing and actuation applications, are presented. The materials' micro/nanostructures were analyzed using microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques.

Highly temperature stable mesoporous materials have excellent properties and potential applications. Here we show a novel poly(vinyl)silazane-block-polystyrene diblock copolymer, which was synthesized by controlled/living free radical polymerization with reversible addition fragmentation chain transfer (RAFT) route. The obtained diblock copolymer occurs the phaseseparation on the nanoscale to form ordered nanostructure, which is converted to mesoprorous ceramic after heating at 800oC. This route demonstrates the preparation of highly temperature stable mesoporous silicon carbon nitrides (SiCN) ceramic film directed from highly cross-linking poly(vinyl)silazane blocks with high ceramic yield, which is different from previous pathway.

On a global level, the energy problem is a very important policy topic, particularly at a time when the nation relies on imports for more than 95% of its energy demand. The starting point of an energy policy should be in line with the international community's concern and cooperation regarding climate warming, and the logic of the new policy on renewable energy expansion in Korea, the pre-developed energy sector, and policy of deserting coal all support this aspect. In particular, to accommodate the rapid urbanization of mankind, the key words of the 4th Industrial Revolution are linking energy to IoT, artificial intelligence, block chain, cloud, and big data.
