Approximately 0.1 mg/ml of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) was degraded by the growing cell, Brevibacillus laterospours, for 30 h, and 0.2 mg/ml of PVA was degraded by the cell-free extract that was isolated from Brevibacillus laterosporus. Approximately $0.29{\mu}g$/ml of acetic acid was produced from PVA by using the cell-free extract as a catalyst for 40 min. $V_{max}\;and\;K_m$ value of purified PAV-degradation enzyme was 3.75g/l and 2.75 g/l/min in reaction with EDTA and 3.99 g/l and 2.98 g/l/min in reaction without EDTA, respectively. Molecular weight of the purified enzyme determined by SDS-PAGE was 63,000 Da. Alcohol dehydrogenase and aldehyde dehydrogenase activities were qualitatively detected on a native acrylamide gel by an active staining method, indicating the existence of the metabolic pathway to use PVA as a substrate.

Sodium azide (SA) is commonly used as propellant for inflating automatic safety bags and other chemical manufacturing purposes. The investigation of potentially thermal hazard of sodium azide and its mixture with polymers are very important because it can occur an expected traffic accident so we took a experiment s using different scanning calorimeter (DSC) in nitrogen atmosphere. The decomposition temperature were about $350{\sim}450^{\circ}C$. We could find not only exothermic reaction was remarkably decreased in mixture s of acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS) and polyvinyl chloride (PVC), but also increasing mixed rate of ABS, polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) and polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) decreased thermal decomposition heat.

We fabricated the gap-filling material for antic-ceramics restoration which were made up polyvinyl butyral (butvar) base and silane system additive in iso-propyl solvent. This was made hardness control possible that user want. And it have very strong adhesion and shear strength properties and is shown the best properties for pigment filling, anti-contractibility, coloring as like epoxy system materials. Particularly, the yellowing and ir-reversibility problem in Epoxy restoration material were finally steadiness. So, there is guarantee in the eternity and stabilization of restoration for antic-celamics. And in order to show the reversible state of the restoration, we successfully dissolve this polyvinyl butyral gap-filling materials in solvent after perfect restoring the Punchong plate from sam-chun temple site subsequently.

The oxygen permeability and it's proofness of te various commercial polymer films have been investigated at the constant pressure and temperature. Oxygen proofness, the reciprocals of the oxygen permeability for the various samples, were determined by means of a coulometric oxygen permeability tester. The testing of sample films was performed at constant temperature $(23{\pm}1^{\circ}C)$ under 1 atm. for 24 hours. The order of the relative proofness observed are as follows; oriented Nylon (O. Nylon)> oriented Polyester (O. PET)>nonoriented Nylon (N. Nylon)>nonoriented Polyester (N.PET)> rigid Polyvinyl chloride (Rigid PVC)>semirigid Polyvinyl chloride (Semirigid PVC)> oriented Polypropylene (O. PP)>plasticized Polyvinyl chloride (P. PVC)> casted Polypropylene (C. PP)> low density Polyethylene (LDPE)>high density Polyethylene (HDPE, Inflation)> high density-polyethylene (HDPE, T-die) The oxygen proofness of the films was increased with the polarity cf polymer, the film thickness and mechanical orientation and decreased with the addition of plasticizer in PVC. For the use of wrapping materials, one film with the polar property in the main chain of the polymer molecule and the others with nonpolar property in it are laminated for the protection from oxygen and moisture.

In this study, we developed an optical-fiber sensor using cobalt chloride solution to monitor temperature in real-time between long distance points unaffected by the electro-magnetic wave and the vibration. Cobalt chloride solutions were made using 10% water and 90% ethanol (v/v) solution. The transmittance of these solutions was analyzed on 655 nm using UV-Visible spectrometer regarding temperature change. Also 30.8 mM cobalt chloride solution was gelled by dissolving polyvinyl butyral and the transmittance of this was analyzed on 655 nm regarding temperature change. The results of transmittance and optical power measurement showed decrease of both transmittance and optical power with increase of temperature from 66.8% and 149.5 nW at $25^{\circ}C$ to 7.1% and 48 nW at $70^{\circ}C$, respectively. These results support the possibility of gelled cobalt chloride/polyvinyl butyral as an optical-fiber sensor to monitor temperature change.

Different adhesives(CF-clear, arabic gum, cethylmethyl cellulose, polyvinyl alcohol, polyvinyl pyrrolidone, hydroxy propyl cellulose, methyl cellulose) and particulate matters(bentonite, kaolin, calcium carbonate, peatmoss, talcum, vermiculite, zeolite, calcium hydroxide, plaster, calcium phosphate, vermiculite + calcium carbonate, vermiculite + kaolin, vermiculite + talcum) were evaluated by coating index method. According to the weight of single coated seeds, CF-clear and polyvinyl alcohol appeared to be the best coating adhesives for red clover and tall fescue seeds. Both vermiculite and vermiculite + talc(l : 1) for red clover, and vermiculite + talc(l : 1) for tall fescue appeared to be the best particulate matter(P < 0.01). Percent friability showed excellent results for the arabic gum, CF-clear, and polyvinyl alcohol when compared to others(p < 0.01). The coating index showed high with vermiculite and vermiculite + talc(l : 1) in coating red clover seed, and talc, vermiculite, and vermiculite + talc showed good coating index in coating tall fescue seed.

Polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) hydrogels were prepared by the irradiation and heating. Irradiation and heating processes were carried out to improve the heat resistance of PVA hydrogels at high temperature. The physical properties such as gel content, degree of swelling and gel strength for the synthesized hydrogels were examined. The structure variations were investigated using the following techniques: differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and X-ray diffraction (XRD). Gel content and gel strength of the hydrogels were higher when the two steps of irradiation followed by heat treatment were used rather than only with the irradiation. The hydrogels prepared by the irradiation and the two steps had good heat resistance at high temperature.

We fabricated several composite membranes with selectively permeable performance designed to facilitate water vapor transport and resist DMMP vapor permeation. Materials for selective permeable membrane were based on polyvinyl alcohol and functional polymer containing basic functional group. With these materials, we characterized selectively permeable performance to identify next-generation material with chemical-biological protective capability. Results showed that polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)/polyethyleneimine (PEI) materials possessed performance with superior water vapor permeation ($2,200{\sim}2,900g/m^2/day$) and protective capability against DMMP vapor ($47g/m^2/day$).
