The physical and antibacterial properties of ophthalmic lenses fabricated by copolymerization with hydrogel monomers using two types of graphene were measured, and their usability as contact lens materials was analyzed. For polymerization, silicone monomers, including SID-OH, 3-(methacryloxy)propyl tris(trimethylsiloxy)silane, and decamethylcyclopentasiloxane, were used, and N,N-dimethylacetamide, ethylene glycol dimethacrylate as a crosslinking agent, and azobisisobutyronitrile as an initiator were added. Also, graphene oxide nanoparticle (GON) and graphene nanoplate (GNP) were used as an additive, and the physical properties of the lenses fabricated after copolymerization were evaluated. The fabricated lenses satisfied the basic physical properties of general hydrogel contact lenses and showed the characteristics of lenses with high water content, and the disadvantage of very weak durability, due to low tensile strength. However, it was confirmed that the tensile strength and antibacterial properties were greatly improved by adding GON and GNP. With GON, the oxygen permeability and refractive index of the fabricated lenses were slightly improved. Therefore, it was determined that the graphene materials used in this study can be used in various ways as a contact lens material.

Functional defects in mitochondria are involved in the induction of cell death in cancer cells. We assessed the toxic effect of camptothecin against the human cervical and uterine tumor cell line SiHa with respect to the mitochondria-mediated cell death process, and examined the combined effect of camptothecin and anticancer drugs. Camptothecin caused apoptosis in SiHa cells by inducing mitochondrial membrane permeability changes that lead to the loss of mitochondrial membrane potential, decreased Bcl-2 levels, cytochrome c release, caspase-3 activation, formation of reactive oxygen species and depletion of GSH. Combination of camptothecin with other anticancer drugs (carboplatin, paclitaxel, doxorubicin and mitomycin c) or signaling inhibitors (farnesyltransferase inhibitor and ERK inhibitor) did not enhance the camptothecin-induced cell death and caspase-3 activation. These results suggest that camptothecin may cause cell death in SiHa cells by inducing changes in mitochondrial membrane permeability, which leads to cytochrome c release and activation of caspase-3. This effect is also associated with increased formation of reactive oxygen species and depletion of GSH. Combination with other anticancer drugs (or signaling inhibitors) does not appear to increase the anti-tumor effect of camptothecin against SiHa cells, but rather may reduce it. Combination of camptothecin with other anticancer drugs does not seem to provide a benefit in the treatment of cervical and uterine cancer compared with camptothecin monotherapy.

Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy has been applied to the characterization of titania supported molybdena. The equilibrium adsorption method seemed to produce molybdena species homogeneously dispersed on the support. Even under an oxidizing environment, molybdena species appeared to be able to possess coordinatively unsaturated $Mo^{5+}$ ions owing to the natures of TiO$_2$, i.e. oxygen deficiency and permeability toward oxygen diffusion. At the initial stage of reduction, the terminal double bond oxygen ( Mo=O ) seemed to be removed, generating presumably $Mo^{4+}$. The carbonyl bands at 2198 and 2190 $cm^{-1}$ observed after CO exposure were attributed to the $Mo^{5+}{\cdots}CO\;and\;Mo^{4+}\;{\cdots}CO$ complexes, respectively, while the band pair at 2136 and 2076 $cm^{-1}$ to $Mo^{4+}(CO)_2$.

Bridge scour is the predominant cause of overwater bridge failures in North America and around the world. Several sensing systems have been developed over the years to detect the extent of scour so that preventative actions can be performed in a timely manner. These sensing systems have drawbacks, such as signal inaccuracy and discontinuity, installation difficulty, and high cost. Therefore, attempts to develop more efficient monitoring schemes continue. In this study, the viability of using optical dissolved oxygen (DO) probes for monitoring scour depths was explored. DO levels are very low in streambed sediments, as compared to the standard level of oxygen in flowing water. Therefore, scour depths can be determined by installing sensors to monitor DO levels at various depths along the buried length of a bridge pier or abutment. The measured DO is negligible when a sensor is buried but would increase significantly once scour occurs and exposes the sensor to flowing water. A set of experiments was conducted in which four dissolved oxygen probes were embedded at different soil depths in the vicinity of a mock bridge pier inside a laboratory flume simulating scour conditions. The results confirmed that DO levels jumped drastically when sensors became exposed during scour hole evolution, thereby providing discrete measurements of the maximum scour depth. Moreover, the DO probes could detect any subsequent refilling of the scour hole through the deposition of sediments. The effect of soil permeability on the sensing response time was also investigated.

고무소재는 다양한 종류별로 구조에 따라 다른 물성을 갖는 것으로 알려져 있다. 일반적으로 EPDM 고무는 내후성과 내오존성이 뛰어나고 열이나 냉기, 습기의 노출에도 잘 견디는 것으로 밝혀진 바 있다. 한편 crosslinked IIR은 물과 기체투과에 대한 저항성이 큰 것으로 알려져 두가지 성분의 장점을 갖도록 EPDM/crosslinked IIR의 블렌드를 새로운 형태의 소재로 추천할 수 있다. 따라서 본 실험에서는 EPDM과 crosslinked IIR의 블렌드비를 변화시키면서 가교시간과 블렌드후 물리/화학적 특성의 개선을 목표로 하였다. 결과적으로 30wt.%의 crosslinked IIR 조성을 갖는 블렌드소재가 내후성, 내오존성 및 내기체투과 특성이 뛰어나, O-링이나 전기관련 제품에 상업적으로 응용가능한 것으로 판단되었다.

The pressure sensitive paint (PSP) has recently received a considerable attention in the fields of aerodynamics and fluid mechanics as a new revolutionary optical technique to measure pressure fields on a body surface. In this study, the feasibility and effectiveness of the PSP pressure field measurement technique have been investigated experimentally. Seven different PSP formulations including two porphyrins(PtOEP and PtTFPP) and four polymers(Polystyrene, cellulous acetate butyrate, GP-197 and Silicon-708) were tested to check the performance and characteristics of each combination. The static calibration of each PSP formulation was carried out in a constant-pressure chamber. The PSP technique was applied to an oblique impinging jet flow to measure variation of pressure field on the impinging plate at on oblique jet angle of ${\theta}=60^{\circ}$. Pressure field images were captured by an 12bit intensified CCD(ICCD, $1K{\times}1K$)camera. As a result, the dynamic response of PSP depends on the oxygen permeability of polymer and the photochemical interaction between luminophore and polymer as well as the reaction of luminophore itself. The reaction of luminophore was changed by employing different polymers. In conclusion, Among 7 PSP formulation tested, the combination of PtTFPP and cellulous acetate butyrate show the best performance. In addition, the detail pressure field of an oblique high-speed impinging jet was measured effectively using the PSP technique.

The promoting effect of hydrogen peroxide ($H_2O_2$) against the cytotoxicity of 1-methyl-4-phenylpyridinium ($MPP^+$) in differentiated PC12 cells was assessed by measuring the effect on the mitochondrial membrane permeability. Treatment of PC12 cells with $MPP^+$ resulted in the nuclear damage, decrease in the mitochondrial transmembrane potential, cytosolic accumulation of cytochrome c, activation of caspase-3, increase in the formation of reactive oxygen species (ROS) and depletion of GSH. Addition of $H_2O_2$ enhanced the $MPP^+-induced$ nuclear damage and cell death. Catalase, Carboxy-PTIO, Mn-TBAP, N-acetylcysteine, cyclosporin A and trifluoperazine inhibited the cytotoxic effect of $MPP^+$ in the presence of $H_2O_2$. Addition of $H_2O_2$ promoted the change in the mitochondrial membrane permeability, ROS formation and decrease in GSH contents due to $MPP^+$ in PC12 cells. The results show that the $H_2O_2$ treatment promotes the cytotoxicity of $MPP^+$ against PC12 cells. $H_2O_2$ may enhance the $MPP^+$-induced viability loss in PC12 cells by promoting the mitochondrial membrane permeability change, release of cytochrome c and subsequent activation of caspase-3, which is associated with the increased formation of ROS and depletion of GSH. The findings suggest that $H_2O_2$ as a promoting agent for the formation of mitochondrial permeability transition may enhance the neuronal cell injury caused by neurotoxins.

아민화된 폴리이서이미드(polyetherimide (PEI))막을 실험실에서 합성하여 아민화별로 제조된 막을 이용하여 이산화탄소, 질소, 메탄, 산소, 이산화황의 기체투과도와 확산도 및 용해도를 Time-lag법으로 상온에서 측정하였다. 일반적으로 아민기의 주사슬에 반응되는 아민화율이 증가할수록 분자사이의 공간이 좁아지기 때문에 투과도가 전체적으로 감소했지만, 이산화황은 산 성질의 이산화황과 염기 성질의 아민기의 결합으로 인하여 증가하였다. 건기체에 대한 확산도 및 용해도는 아민화율이 증가할수록 이산화황을 제외한 모든 기체에서 감소하였고 또한 용해도 역시 감소하였다. 그러나 이산화황의 경우 아민화율이 증가하면서 용해도가 증가하게 되어 확산도 또한 증가한 것으로 사료된다. 이산화탄소/질소의 경우 선택도는 아민화율이 3일 경우 60을 나타내었다. 습기체의 경우 상대습도가 100일 때 투과도가 70 barrer을 나타내었고 질소에 대한 선택도는 약 18 정도를 보여주었다.
