Chitosan is a useful natural polymer material in many application fields such as biomaterials, water-treatment, agriculture, medication, and food science. However, the poor solubility limits its application. In this study, the effects of radiation on chitosan were investigated using gamma ray and electron beam irradiation. The chemical structure and molecular weight analysis show similar degradation effects of chitosan powder in both gamma ray and electron beam irradiation. However, the radiation irradiated chitosan in $H_2O$ has a lower molecular weight, since the hydroxyl radicals attack the glycosidic bonds. This effect is more clearly shown in the electron beam irradiation results.

This study investigated the reduction of microbial population and sensory properties in red pepper powders irradiated by gamma ray, electron beam, and X-ray. Populations of total aerobic bacteria and yeast & molds in red pepper powders were decreased by irradiation treatment in a dose-dependent manner. Gamma ray, electron beam, and X-ray at doses above 8 kGy caused 100% inhibition on growth of aerobic bacteria in red pepper powders. Inhibitory activity of X-ray on sterilization of red pepper powders was significantly equal to or higher compared to gamma ray and electron beam. Color and off flavor in red pepper powders were no significant difference among the control and samples irradiated with gamma ray, electron beam, and X-ray. As a result, the gamma ray, electron beam, and X-ray irradiation can be used to sterilize the microbial growth in red pepper powders without quality loss.

The molecular weight (MW) and crystallinity of cotton linter need to be controlled to be dissolved well in N-methylmorpholine N-oxide (NMMO) solvent for manufacturing regenerated fibers of clothing fabrics. Electron beam irradiation or sulfuric acid pre-treatment followed by alkaline peroxide bleaching has been used to control MW effectively and to improve brightness of cotton linter. Auto-hydrolysis of cotton linter without electron beam irradiation or chemical pre-treatment was found to be effective as an alternative pre-treatment method. Removal of metal ions, that hampered dissolution of cotton linter by NMMO, was also investigated when the auto-hydrolysis was accompanied with ionic polymers and chelating agent.

Pyrolized fuel oil (PFO) was reformed by novel electron beam (E-beam) radiation, and the elemental composition, chemical bonds, average molecular weight, solubility, softening point, yields, and density of the modified patches were characterized. These properties of modified pitch were dependent on the reforming method (heat or E-beam radiation treatment) and absorbed dose. Aromaticity ($F_a$), average molecular weight, solubility, softening point, and density increased in proportion to the absorbed dose of E-beam radiation, with the exception of the highest absorbed dose, due to modification by free radical polymerization and the powerful energy intensity of E-beam treatment. The H/C ratio and yield exhibited the opposite trend for the same reason. These results indicate that novel E-beam radiation reforming is suitable for the preparation of aromatic pitch with a high ${\beta}$-resin content.

4-5MeV의 전자선은 피부표면의 흡수선량을 증가시키고 표면하 10mm 내외에서 급속히 감소함으로 Mycosis fungoides, Kaposi's sarcoma등 전신피부암에 대한 가장적당한 치료방사선으로 알려져왔다. 그러나 평면이 아니고 굴곡이 심한 인체표면에 균일한 선량을 계획하기는 많은 어려움이 있었다. 연세암센터에서는 1980년부터 시행하여왔던 6MeV 전자선의 마름모형, 네방향 조사방법을 개량하고 많은 문헌을 참고하여 상하 양방향의 조사면과 환자위치를 각각 여섯가지 자세로 나누어 조사(Six-Dual-Field)하는 방법을 사용하였으며 이에따른 전신피부표면의 선량과 선량분포를 측정하였다. 선형가속기에서 발생되는 6MeV 전자선을 0.5 cm 두께의 아크릴판으로 감약시키고 콜리메터가 완전히 열린 조사면을 상하 $19^{\circ}$씩 옮기므로서 타겟트에서 3m 거리에 약 $2m{\times}1m$의 균일한선량의 조사면(평탄도 $+3\%$)과 10 mm 내외의 실효깊이 ($80\%$, 선량지점) 및 산란선에 의한 피부표면선량을 증가시킬 수 있었다. 환자는 일부피부가 가려지지 않도록 팔과 다리를 적당한 자세로 고정시키고 전자선을 여섯방향에서 각각 2회씩 상하로 조사시키므로서 피부표면에 균일한 선량분포(표준편차 $5\%$)가 가능하였으며 $80\%$,의 심부율이 $8\~10mm$에서 측정되었다. 모든 측정은 인체등가팬텀과 폴리스틸렌팬텀을 사용하였으며 필름, 평형전리측정기 및 표준전리측정기를 이용하였다. 특히 환자피부표면의 흡수선량분포를 확인하기 위하여 열형광측정기와 반도체측정기를 이용하였으며 $6\~20$개의 소형 측정기를 환자 피부표면에 부착시킨후 전자선 치료과정 동안 피폭 시켜 측정하였고 그결과 차폐된 부위를 제외하고 평균 $10\%$, 이 내의 균일한 선량분포를 얻을수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 셀룰로스계 섬유인 황마(jute)의 화학적 특성 및 열적 특성에 미치는 전자빔조사의 영향을 원소분석, ESR분석, ATR-FTIR 분광분석, 열중량분석 그리고 열기계분석을 통하여 탐구하였다. 전자빔 조사는 전자빔터널 내에서 콘베이어 카트를 이용한 연속식 방법에 의해 2~100 kGy까지 다양한 세기의 전자빔이 황마섬유다발에 일정하게 행하였다. 전자빔 처리는 황마섬유의 화학조성을 다소 변화시켰으며, 전자빔세기가 커질수록 황마섬유에 형성된 라디칼이 증가하는 것으로 확인되었다. 그러나 전자빔 조사는 황마섬유표면의 화학관능기를 크게 변화시키지 않는 것으로 판단되었다. 또한 전자빔 조사는 황마섬유의 열안정성과 열수축/팽창 거동에 영향을 주었으며, 그 거동은 전자빔세기에 의존하였다.

Electron beam irradiation is also an eco-friendly treatment compared to other physical and chemical treatments. In this study, we attempted to evaluate the possibilities of energy savings by applying electron beam irradiation to the refining process. After softwood unbleached kraft pulp (UKP) was irradiated with electron beams at 50 and 100 kGy, it was beaten in a laboratory beater, and then its freeness and fiber properties were analyzed. The physical properties of their fiber handsheet were also and measured. As the irradiation dose of the electron beam and the beating time increased, lower freeness and fiber lengths of the UKP were observed. Handsheets made from UKP that was irradiated by electron beam and beaten showed a reciprocal relationship with the irradiation dose of the electron beam, in particular, the strength of the handsheets decreased dramatically at 100 kGy of irradiation. Therefore, it was confirmed that electron beam irradiation is effective in reducing the beating time or beating energy. But the irradiation dose must be controlled under 50 kGy to minimize the loss of paper strength.

Radiation treatment with gamma-rays and electron-beams was used to remove polyvinyl alcohol(PVA), one of the main components of dyeing wastewater. PVA was effectively decomposed by radiation treatment, thus the removal was near 100 % at an initial PVA concentration of 44 mg/L. However, total organic carbon(TOC) removal was less than 5 % due to lower transformation of PVA to $CO_2$. This directly indicates the radiation treatment alone is not appropriate for the complete decomposition of PVA. In this sense, the improvement of biodegradability($BOD_5/COD$) of PVA by radiation treatment was studied. Both gamma-ray and electron-beam treatments significantly increased the biodegradability of PVA by transforming non-biodegradable PVA to biodegradable by-products. This suggests radiation treatment, especially electron-beam treatment that showed better improvement of biodegradability, can be used as a pre-treatment of biological degradation process of PVA.

피부 T 세포림프종에 대하여 4MeV 의 전자선으로 전 피부 방사선 조사를 시행하였다. 피부전체의 균일한 선량분포를 위하여 스탠포드대학의 방법으로 알려져 있는 six dual field 기법을 사용하였다. SSD 는 390cm로 하였으며 방사선 조사시의 gantry 의 각은 환자의 중심을 지나는 수평축에 대하여 상ㆍ하로 14$^{\circ}$가 되도록 하였다. 전자콘을 설치해야만 전자선 조사가 가능하므로 최대의 전자콘인 25$\times$25cm콘을 사용하였다. 치료면에서의 선량분포의 균일성을 확인하기 위하여 치료면에 90$\times$180cm의 폴리스틸렌을 설치하고 Famer type ion chamber와 측정용 필름을 사용하여 측정하였다. 그 결과 치료면에서 10% 정도의 균일함을 보였다. 환자의 자세를 하루에 세가지씩 이틀에 걸쳐 여섯가지 자세를 한 주기로 치료를 시행하였다. 선량이 부족한 정수리, 회음부, 발바닥 등은 따로 추가의 방사선을 조사하였다. 렌즈와 손톱, 발톱은 차폐물을 제작하여 차폐하였다.
