In this study, sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK) as cation exchange membrane and blended and crosslinked poly(vinyl amine) (PVAm) with poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membrane as anion exchange membrane were used and then the performance experiments of the membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) installed with both membranes were carried out. The newly prepared anion exchange membrane were characterized through water content, ion exchange capacity and FT-IR. The crosslinking time of 3 h to 5 h indicated that the salt removal was reduced from 81.3, 65.7% to 53.8%. The effect of PVAm contents from 40, 60, to 80% on the salt removal was shown 81.3, 75.2 and 37.7%, respectively. As a result, it was concluded that the crosslinking time and the content of PVAm had an influence on the salt removal efficiency.

Recently, M. Masjed-Jamai et al. in ([6]-[7]) and Srivastava et al. in ([15]-[16]) considered the parametric type of the Apostol-Bernoulli, Apostol-Euler and Apostol-Genocchi polynomials. They proved some theorems and gave some identities and relations for these polynomials. In this work, we define the parametric poly-tangent numbers and polynomials. We give some relations and identities for the parametric poly-tangent polynomials.

The purpose of this present study was to develop a new way of self-curing acrylic resin, using commercially available polyphosphate, Calgon, which is known to be antimicrobial and safe. For the study, polyphosphate(polyP) was blended with acrylic powder and devided into four groups as follows: no polyP(control), 1% polyP, 2% polyP, and 3% polyP. For the experiment, Streptococcus mutans GS5, Streptococcus sobrinus 6715, Streptococcus gordonii G9B and Challis, Porphyromonas gingivalis 2561, and Candida albicans ATCC 90027 were used. Resin specimens in each group were tested in vitro for the purpose of investigating the effect of polyP on the microbial attachment, growth and hydrophobicity of the resin surface. The results were as follows. 1. PolyP added to the acrylic resin decreased attachment of S. mutans GS5, S. sobrinus 6715, S. gordonii G9B. The greater binding inhibition was found in acrylic resin polymerized with polyP at higher concentrations. 2. The addition of polyP to acrylic resin failed to significantly affect the growth of the tested microorganisms. 3. The addition of polyP to acrylic resin seemed to reduce hydrophobicity of the acrylic resin. PolyP in acrylic resin does not seem to exert a direct antibacterial activity, but rather inhibit attachment of oral bacteria, especially mutans streptococci to saliva-coated acrylic resin. The acrylic resin reduces attachment of streptococci may be due to the decreased hydrophobicity caused by polyP added to the resin. PolyP may be included to acrylic resin to inhibit dental caries which often occurs when removable acrylic resin appliance is placed.

Mutans streptococci, especially S. mutans and S. sobrinus strongly implicated in pathogenesis of dental caries, the major cause of tooth loss in children. Use of an antibacterial agent controlling dental caries has been rationalized. The present study was performed to observe the antibacterial effect of inorganic polyphosphates (polyP) on S. mutans and S. sobrinus. S. mutans GS5 and S. sobrinus 6715 were grown in brain-heart infusion broth with or without polyP. Minimal inhibitory concentration (MIC) of polyP for S. mutans GS5 was determined to be 0.08% and that for S. sobrius 6715 was 0.17%. PolyP 15 added to the growing culture of S. mutans GS5 and S. sobrinus 6715 at their exponential phase was as effective in inhibiting the growth of S. mutans GS5 and S. sobrinus 6715 as polyP added at the very beginning of the culture. More than 85% of the cells lost their viability determined by viable cell count when polyP 15 was added to the culture of growing S. mutans GS5 at MIC, suggesting that polyP 15 has bacterial effect on the bacterium. And more than 99.9% of the cells lost their viability determined by viable cell count when polyP 15 was added to the culture of growing S. sobrinus 6715 at MIC, suggesting that polyP 15 has bacterial effect on the bacterium. Intracellular nucleotide release from S. mutans CS5 and S. sobrinus 6715 was increased in the presence of polyP 15 for 5h but was not really reversed by the addition of divalent cations like $Ca^{++}\;and\;Mg^{++}$. The majority of the cells appeared to be atypical in their shape, demonstrating accumulation of highly electron-dense granules and ghost cells. The overall results suggest that polyP have a strong bactericidal activity against S. mutans and S. sobrinus in which lysis in relation to chelation may not play the major role but unknown mechanism that possibly affects the viability of the bacterium may be involved. PolyP may be used as an agent for prevention of dental caries.

ABA type block copolymers composed of poly($\gamma-benzyl$ L-glutamate) (PBLG) as the A component and poly (ethylene glycol) as the B component were obtained by polymerization of $\gamma-benzyl$ L-gletamate N -carboxyanhydride, initiated by amino groups at both ends of poly(ethylene glycol) . From circular dichroism measurements in ethylene dichloride solution as well as from infrared spectTa measurements in solid state, it was found that the polypep- tide block exists in the a-helical conformation, as in PBLG homopolymer. $Poly-N^5$ (3-hydroxypropyl glutamine) (PHPG)/poly(ethylene glycol)block copolymer hydrogel was obtained by the treatment of PBLG/PBG block copolymer with the mixture of 3-ammine-1-propanol and diamlnooctane. The water content of PHPG/PEG block copolymer hydrogel was about 80wt% when the concentration of crosslinking agent was below 5 mole % per polymer.

Inthis apper wa analyzed the channel-hot-electron programming characteristics of the single-poly EEPROM with different control gate and drain structures. The single-poly EEPROM uses the p$^{+}$/n$^{+}$-diffusion in the n-well as a control gate instead of the second poly-silicon. The program and erase characteristics of the single-poly EEPROM were verified using the two-dimensional device simulator, MEDICI. The single-poly EEPROM was fabricated using 0.8$\mu$m ASIC CMOS process, and its CHE programming characteristics were measured using HP4155 parameteric analyzer and HP8110 pulse gnerator. Especially we investigated the CHE programming characteristics of the single-poly EEPROM with the p$^{+}$-diffusion or n$^{+}$-diffusion in the n-well as a control gate and the LDD or single-drain structure. The single-poly EEPROM with p$^{+}$-diffusion in the n-well as a control gate and single-drain structure was programmed to about VT$\thickapprox$5V with VDS=6V, VCG=12V(1ms pulse width).th).

Poly(DADM) was synthesized for the drinking water treatment. Poly(DADM) was produced by the free radical polymerization of diallyldimethylammonium chloride(DADM) monomer and its properties were characterized. The effects of monomer concentration, initiator concentration and reaction time on synthesis of poly(DADM) were investigated. Poly(DADM) flocculant was applied to Nak-dong river water to examine its efficiency in reducing turbidity. The synthesized poly(DADM) was effective as flocculant for drinking water treatment. The addition of 1 mg/L of poly(DADM) flocculant caused the reduction of 50% PAC(polyaluminium chloride).

본 연구는 Poly-Si에 이온 주입된 Boron의 Activation 거동을 연구하고자 SLS (Sequential Lateral Solidification) Poly-Si과 ELA (Excimer Laser Annealing) Poly-Si의 활성화 거동을 비교 분석하였다. SLS 및 ELA 결정화 방법으로 제조된 Poly-Si을 모재로 비 질량 분리 방식의 ISD (Ion Shower Doping) System을 사용하여 2.5~7.0 kV까지 이온주입 하였다. 이온주입 후 두 가지의 열처리 방법, 즉, FA 열처리(Furnace Annealing)와 RTA 열처리(Rapid Thermal Annealing)를 사용하여 도펀트 활성화 열처리를 수행하고 이온주입 조건 및 활성화 열처리 방법에 따른 결함 회복 및 도펀트 활성화 거동의 변화를 관찰하였다. TRIM-code Simulation 결과 가속 이온 에너지와 조사량이 증가 할수록 이온주입 시 발생하는 결함의 양이 증가하는 것을 정량적으로 계산하였다. 실험 결과 결함의 양이 증가 할수록 Activation이 잘되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. SLS Poly-Si에 비하여 ELA Poly-Si의 경우 도펀트 활성화 열처리 후 활성화 효율이 높게 나타났다. 본 결과는 Grain Boundary의 역할과 밀접한 관계가 있으며 간단한 정성적인 Model을 제시하였다. 활성화 효율의 경우 RTA 열처리 시편이 FA 시편에 비하여 높은 것이 관찰되었다. 본 결과는 열처리 온도 및 시간에 따라 변화하는 Boron의 특이한 활성화 거동인 Reverse Annealing 효과에 기인하는 것으로 규명되었다.

A highly interferent-resistive membrane, poly-5-amino-1-naphthol (poly-5A1N), underlied beneath enzymeembedded poly-1,3-phenylendiamine (poly-m-PD) network for miniturized continuous monitoring glucose sensors. The enzyme layer was prepared from a mixed solution of glucose oxidase (GOx) and m-PD monomer by simple electrolysis. The mass change of poly-5A1N was monitored by electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance (EQCM) in situ and the corresponding thickness was measured. Successive electropolymerization of poly-5A1N and poly-m-PD create a several tens nm-thick bilayer showing excellent selectivity for $H_2O_2$ and low activity loss of immobilized enzymes.
