In order to apply thermoplastic composites using PETG resin to various industrial fields such as bicycle frames and industrial parts, it is necessary to verify the impact resistance, durability and mechanical properties of the manufactured composite materials. To improve the mechanical properties, durability and impact resistance of PETG resin, an amorphous resin, in this study, compound and injection molding process were carried out using various additives such as TiO2, carbon black, polyolefin elastomer, and PETG amorphous resin. The thermal and mechanical properties of the thermoplastic composites, and the Charpy impact strength. The analysis was performed to evaluate the characteristics according to the types of additives. DSC and DMA analyzes were performed for thermal properties, and tensile strength, flexural strength, and tensile strength change rate were measured using a universal testing machine to evaluate mechanical properties. Charpy impact strength test was conducted to analyze the impact characteristics, and the fracture section was analyzed after the impact strength test. In the case of POE material-added thermoplastic composites, thermal and mechanical properties tend to decrease, but workability and impact resistance tend to be superior to those of PETG materials.

Acryl binder is a representative organic additive for the manufacture of the display electronic equipment. Acryl binder is usually synthesized by radical copolymerization. Glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), methyl methacrylate (MMA), and methacrylic acid (MAA) were used in this copolymerization of acryl binder. In this study the silane type mercaptane compound was used as a chain transfer agent (CTA) to enhance the adhesion property of the acrylic binder. The CTA used in this experiment was (3-mercaptopropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPTMS). Molecular weight of the copolymer, thickness of the coating, transmittance, and adhesion property were measured. The molecular weight was controlled and the adhesion property was improved by using this silane type chain transfer agent.

In this study, PZT etching was performed using planar inductively coupled Ar(20)/$Cl_2/BCl_3$ plasma, The etch rate of PZT film was 2450 $\AA/min$ at Ar(20)/$BCl_3$(80) gas mixing ratio and substrate temperature of $80^{\circ}C$. X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) analysis for film composition was utilized. The chemical bond of PbO is broken by ion bombardment, and the peak of metal Pb in a Pb 4f peak begins to appear upon etching, decreasing Pb content faster than Zr and Ti. As increase content of additive $BCl_3$, the relative content of oxygen decreases rapidly. We thought that abundant Band BCl radicals made volatile oxy-compound such as $B_{x}O_{y}$ and/or $BClO_x$ bond. To understand etching mechanism, Langmuir probe and optical emission spectroscopy (OES) analysis were utilized for plasma diagnostic.

CSA, a cement mineral compound that is mainly composed of $3CaO{\cdot}3Al_2O_3{\cdot}CaSO_4$, generates ettringite as a hydration product after a reaction with glass (lime), gypsum and water to speed up the hardening process and enhance the strength and degree of expansion. When used as a cement admixture, there is increased production of ettringite, which can improve the initial strength in the first three days and ameliorate the reduction in the initial strength caused by the use of fly ash in particular. In this study, a hydrate analysis was performed using XRD and SEM after substitution with fly ash (30%) and CSA (8%) with the goal of observing the effect of CSA on the initial strength of a cement mixture containing fly ash. The results of the analysis showed that an addition of CSA promoted the production of ettringite and improved the initial strength, resulting in the generation of hydrates, which can effectively enhance the long-term strength of these materials.

$YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ superconductor films have been prepared on silver substrates by electrophoretic deposition. As silver does not react with $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ compound and has little influence on its superconductivity, it is usually doped in $YBa_2Cu_3O_7$ to improve the strength of the material and eliminate micro-cracks. It has been proved that Ag additive can lower the melting temperature of $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ and act as linking bridge among $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ particles, thus in this paper Ag doped $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-\delta}$ thick films are prepared by electrophoretic co-deposition. As there are only some referenced experience formula and models for co-electrophoretic deposition and does not exist unified explanation, the behavior of Ag particles during co-electrophoretic deposition is also studied.

Mechanical properties of carbon coated $SiC_f/SiC$ composites have been investigated, in conjunction with a detailed analysis of microstructure. Especially, the fracture behavior of $SiC_f/SiC$ composites by the induction of carbon coating layers has been examined. The matrix region of $SiC_f/SiC$ composites with ultra-fine SiC powders were consolidated by a liquid phase sintering (LPS) process, using a sintering additive of $Al_2O_3-Y_2O_3$ powder compound. In this composite, plain and satin- woven Tyranno SA fabrics were also utilized as a reinforcing material. A carbon interfacial layer was coated around satin-woven SiC fabrics. The characterization of LPS-$SiC_f/SiC$ composites was investigated by means of SEM and three point bending test.

This study identified the formula of the antioxidant substance separated from the ethyl acetate and the butanol extract and tested the antioxidant properties with the electron donating ability(EDA). Each phase with the fractionated methanol extract from mulberry leaf was screened in advance for the antioxidant substance with EDA. As the result, activity appeared in the ethyl acetate and butanol phase and the antioxidant component was separated. As the consequence, 2 components from the ethyl acetate phase and 1 from the butanol phase were separated, among which the structures of the components from ethyl acetate were determined by wogonin and linarin, whereas the structure of the component from the butanol phase was determined by pectolinarin. In the screening of antioxidant activity by the scavenging effect of the DPPH radical, the wogonin and linarin components from ethyl acetate phase showed more powerful antioxidant property than the component from butanol. The results from this study indicate that the chemical compound separated from the ethyl acetate extract has more powerful antioxidant property than the one separated from the butanol extract. The components separated from the ethyl acetate extract were wogonin and linarin, which are flavonoids, whereas the component from butanol was pectolinarin. Therefore, this study suggested that the feasibility of mulberry leaf as a functional food additive and its value as a natural antioxidant is very high.

BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVE: Licorice has been shown to possess cancer chemopreventive effects. However, glycyrrhizin, a major component in licorice, was found to interfere with steroid metabolism and cause edema and hypertension. The roasting process of licorice modifies the chemical composition and converts glycyrrhizin to glycyrrhetinic acid. The purpose of this study was to examine the anti-carcinogenic effects of the ethanol extract of roasted licorice (EERL) and to identify the active compound in EERL. MATERIALS/METHODS: Ethanol and aqueous extracts of roasted and un-roasted licorice were prepared. The active fraction was separated from the methylene chloride (MC)-soluble fraction of EERL and the structure of the purified compound was determined by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The anti-carcinogenic effects of licorice extracts and licochalcone A was evaluated using a MTT assay, Western blot, flow cytometry, and two-stage skin carcinogenesis model. RESULTS: EERL was determined to be more potent and efficacious than the ethanol extract of un-roasted licorice in inhibiting the growth of DU145 and MLL prostate cancer cells, as well as HT-29 colon cancer cells. The aqueous extracts of un-roasted and roasted licorice showed minimal effects on cell growth. EERL potently inhibited growth of MCF-7 and MDA-MB-231 breast, B16-F10 melanoma, and A375 and A2058 skin cancer cells, whereas EERL slightly stimulated the growth of normal IEC-6 intestinal epithelial cells and CCD118SK fibroblasts. The MC-soluble fraction was more efficacious than EERL in inhibiting DU145 cell growth. Licochalcone A was isolated from the MC fraction and identified as the active compound of EERL. Both EERL and licochalcone A induced apoptosis of DU145 cells. EERL potently inhibited chemically-induced skin papilloma formation in mice. CONCLUSIONS: Non-polar compounds in EERL exert potent anti-carcinogenic effects, and that roasted rather than un-roasted licorice should be favored as a cancer preventive agent, whether being used as an additive to food or medicine preparations.

The desulfurization abilities using GC/microreactor have been examined for $CuO-Fe_2O_3$ sorbents with respect to calcination temperatures of 700, 900 and $1,100^{\circ}C$. CuO was used as a main active component, $Fe_2O_3$ was used as an additive one and 25 wt% $SiO_2$ was used as a support. The desulfurization reaction temperature was $500^{\circ}C$ and the regeneration reaction temperature was $700^{\circ}C$. From the XRD results, the $CuFeO_2$ compound has been observed for the fresh sorbent calcined at $1,100^{\circ}C$ and the $CuFeS_2$ compound for the reacted sorbent calcined at $1,100^{\circ}C$. By the BET results, however any significant differences among sorbents calcined at the three different temperatures of 700, 900 and $1,100^{\circ}C$ haven't been observed. Especially CFS1 (CuO : $Fe_2O_3$ : $SiO_2$=67.5 wt% : 7.5 wt% : 25 wt%) sorbent calcined at $1,100^{\circ}C$ maintained about 10 g sulfur/100 g sorbent for 100 cycles by the cyclic test.
