The waterproof construction for walls and floor in the underground parking lot in the construction of the apartment buildings have been excluded to the introduction of the waterproof design until now, because of the shorten construction period and the reduced construction costs. The concrete structures are existed to the joints in the vertical or horizontal parts commonly. In case of cracks, there are generated due to behavior by subsidence and external changing temperature environment. The cracks are generated by the frequent water leaks. So, the repair methods of the water leaks are proposed as the quick micro-cement and the polyacrylic resin in this study.

This study improved the water repair materials of the polyacrylic system applied to concrete structures by controlling expansion, strengthening water resistance, and improving cohesiveness. The improved polyacrylate repair materials were evaluated against the existing products to verify their performance and level of improvement, and applied on-site to the concrete structures that are leaking the improved water. The verification method measured the presence of water leaks and the moisture content of concrete inside. Moisture levels were measured for two months before and after material installation, and at least 0.8 - 1.7% of humidity was reduced after installing polyacrylic resin, and no leakage was found.

Hydroxyapatite (HAp)/Polyacrylic Acid(PAA) homogeneous composites of four different composition ratio were preparation by co-precipitation process with synthetic HAp and PAA as a binder. HAP/PAA composites were molding by cold isostatic pressing and were sintering by various condition in air. Crystallinity and structure of sintered HAp/PAA composites were investigated by XRD and FT-IR. Also, the compressive strength and the fracture surface of sintered specimens were measured by UTM and SEM. HAp/PAA composites were showed phase transformation of partially ${\alpha}$, ${\beta}$-tricalcium phosphate at sintering condition of 1200$^{\circ}C$ and 3 h. The pore size and porosity of sintered body were showed the range of 0.2∼3.0 $\mu\textrm{m}$ and 0.49∼13.43%, respectively. The compressive strength of sintered specimens were appeared the range of 36.6∼58.2 MPa. From these results, the sintered HAp/PAA comosites can be accounted for the microporous HAp having a good compressive strength due to homogeneous pore morphology.

We fabricated the polyacrylic acid (PAA)-doped $MgB_2$ bulks and characterized their lattice parameters, actual C substitutions, microstructures, and critical properties. The boron (B) powder was mixed with PAA using N,N-dimethylformamide as solvent and then the solution was dried out at $200^{\circ}C$ and crushed. The C treated B powder and magnesium powder were mixed and compacted by uniaxial pressing at 500 MPa, followed by sintering at $900^{\circ}C$ for 1 h in high purity Ar atmosphere. We observed that the PAA doping increased the MgO amount but decreased the grain size, a-axis lattice constant, and critical temperature ($T_c$), which is indicative of the C substitution for B sites in $MgB_2$. In addition, the critical current density ($J_c$) at high magnetic field was significantly improved with increasing PAA addition: at 5 K and 6.6 T, the $J_c$ of 7 wt% PAA-doped sample was $6.39\;{\times}\;10^3\;A/cm^2$ which was approximately 6-fold higher than that of the pure sample ($1.04\;{\times}\;10^3\;A/cm^2$). This improvement was probably due to the C substitution and the refinement of grain size by PAA doping, suggesting that PAA is an effective dopant in improving $J_c$(B) performance of $MgB_2$.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of various acid treatments on dentin bonding. Freshly extracted human teeth were uprightly embedded in self curing acrylic resin, and their occlusal surfaces were grinded to expose flat dentin surfaces. The specimens were divided into 4 groups. Specimens of one group were not treated so as to be a control and those of the other three groups were threated with 10% polyacrylic acid, 10% phosphoric acid, and 10-3 solution(10% citric acid/3% ferric chloride) respectively. Primer, bonding resin and composite resin were applied over the treated dentin surfaces sequentially. All specimens were stored in $37^{\circ}C$ distilled water for 24 hours, then the tensile bond strength was measured and the treated dentin surfaces and fracured dentin surfaces were examined under a scanning electron microscope. The results were as follows: Bond strengths of acid-treated groups were higher than those of the untreated group. In the acid-treated groups, bond strength was found to be the highest in the 10-3 solution group followed by the 10% phosphoric acid group and the 10% polyacrylic acid group(P<0.01). On SEM examination of dentin surfaces, the untreated dentin surface showed a remaining smear layer and closed dentinal tubules. Dentin surfaces treated with 10 % polyacrylic acid showed a clean dentin surface without the smear layer, but showed remaining smear plugs in dentinal tubules. A dentin surface treated with 10% phosphoric acid or 10-3 solution showed open dentinal tubules without the smear layer or smear plugs. On SEM observation of the fractured dentin-resin interface, the untreated group showed that failure occurred in the smear layer. The group treated with 10% polyacrylic acid showed no resin tag remained in the dentinal tubules, but resin tags in the dentinal tubules were observed in the group treated with the 10% phosphoric acid or the 10-3 solution. On the failure mode examination, the higher the bond strength of the group, the higher the frequency of cohesive failure. The coefficient between bond strength and cohesive failure rate was 0.71.

The spectral changes of 3,3'-diethyl oxacarbocyanine(DOC) in the aqueous solution and in the presence of polyacrylic acid(PAA) were studied by means of absorption and fluorescence spectroscopy. The spectral change of DOC in the aqueous solution with concentration changes is attributed to the formation of dimer. In the presence of PAA, the characteristic changes of metachromatic band with changes of P/D (the ratio between available binding site and the dye concentration) are found and the discussions are made in terms of stacking theory. A kinetic study of the interaction between DOC and PAA was also investigated by the absorption and fluorescence stopped-flow spectroscopy. The observed relaxation effect in PAA-DOC system can be described quantitatively by assuming two relaxation processes occur.

Radiation grafting of acrylic acid onto nylon fabric has been studied by "simultaneous irradiation" method to render its surface more hydrophilic. Nylon fabric immersed in monomer solution was irradiated in air or under vacuum with gamma-rays from Co-60. Most parts of polyacrylic acid formed on the surface of the fabric were extracted off from the fabric with 0.1% solution of sodium hydroxide at 10$0^{\circ}C$. The chemical components of the grafted product have been determined. By comparing graft polymer with ungrafted polyamide, the rate of water absorption and antistatic behavior are improved. improved.

Antibiotics polymer prepared by chemical bonding and simple blending of antibacterial into polymers have attracted much interest because of their long-lasting and antibacterial activity. Antibiotics polymer can significantly reduce losses associated with dissolution, photolytic decomposition and volatillization. Further more, increased efficiency safety and selectivity are additional benefits which may be realized. In this study, Antibiotics polymer was synthesized by chemical reaction of polyacrylic acid with sulfamethazine by N,N'-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide(DCC) method. Antibacterial susceptibility was determined against Streptococcus pyrogenes[gram(+)] and Esherichia coli.[gram(-)] using a standardized disc test. As a result, the synthetic antibiotics polymer exhibited the broad susceptibilty against Streptococcus pyrogenes and Esherichia coli. Especially, the antibiotic effect of antibacterial polymer against Gram negative(Esherichia coli) was much stronger than that against Gram positive(Streptococcus pyrogenes).
