The surface of albumin microspheres was modified with methotrexate(MTX) by using 1,3-dicyclohexylcarbodiimide (DCC). Surface-modified albumin microspheres entrapping no MTX (SAMS), free MTX (SAMSF) and MTX-bovine serum albumin(BSA) conjugates(SAMSC) were prepared. The organ-targeting ability of free $[^3H]MTX,\;[^3H]MTX-BSA$ conjugate and the above microspheres was evaluated after i.v. administration of the preparations, equivalent to 150 nCi via the tail vein of mice. The total radioactivity in the lung increased immediately in a few minutes after i.v. injection of the microspheres, and then declined for the period of 3-4 weeks. However, the radioactivity in the liver, spleen and kidney increased slowly during the rapid decrease in radioactivity in the lung. This suggested that the microspheres could be entrapped rapidly in the lung through mechanical filtration because of their large size and slowly redistributed to the liver, spleen and kidney due to either the microspheres being degraded enough for the size to allow passage through the capillary beds of the lung and/or the release of $[^3H]MTX\;or\;[^3H]MTX-BSA$ conjugates from the microspheres. The amount of $60{sim}70%$ of the dose was targeted to the liver after the i.v. injection of SAMS, SAMSF and SAMSC, and the values of $(R_e\;^*\;_{e)liver}$ from the microspheres were $5{\sim}7$ compared to free MTX. This suggested that the liver-targeting ability from surface-modified albumin microspheres could be $5{\sim}7$ times as that of free MTX. The liver-targeted drug was accumulated in the Kupffer cells at the initial stage, thereafter the drug in the Kupffer cell was slowly transferred into the hepatocytes. The value of AUQ for liver from SAMS was higher than that from SAMSF, but much lower than that from SAMSC. This suggest that MTX bound to their surface could be eliminated slower than the entrapped free MTX, and faster than the entrapped MTX-BSA conjugates. This is consistent with the in vitro release rates order in the presence of a proteolytic enzyme. Also, surface-modified MTX was scarcely released in the absence of a proteolytic enzyme. Therefore, the surface-modified MTX nay be released (or eliminated) rapidly from SAMSC at the target site, and thereafter MTX may be released (or eliminated) slowly from the entrapped MTX-BSA conjugates in SAMSC for a long period.

This paper presents a modified mean curvature diffusion filter to smooth speckle noise in images. Mean curvature diffusion filter has already shown good results in reducing noise in images while preserving fine details. In the mean curvature diffusion, the rate of smoothing is controlled by the local value of the diffusion coefficient chosen to be a function of the local image gradient magnitude. In this paper, the diffusion coefficient is modified to be controlled adaptively by local image surface slope and heterogeneity. The local surface slope contributes to preserving details (e.g.edges) in image and the local surface heterogeneity helps the smoothing filter consider the amount of noise in both edge and non-edge area. The proposed filter's performance is demonstrated by quantitative experiments using speckle noised aerial image and TerraSAR-X satellite image.

In order to achieve an oriental lacquer (OL) film with a thick consistency, UV-curable silicone acrylate (SA) was added to OL by a dual curing process. The addition of 5 wt% UV-curable SA to the OL fomulation enabled the preparation via a single drying step of a $77{\mu}m-thick$ film exhibiting excellent surface properties. FTIR-ATR was used to investigate the effect of UV-curable SA on the behavior of film formation during curing, and the relaxation behavior of the produced films was investigated by dielectric spectroscopy. Dielectric properties were measured in the frequency range $10^{-2}-10^5\;Hz$ at various temperatures between -100 and $200^{\circ}C$. The results demonstrated that OL modified by UV-curable SA has a higher glass transition temperature and stronger secondary relaxation at a lower temperature than the conventional OL system. The OL film modified with UV-curable SA was presumed to be harder at the surface and tougher than conventional OL film.

One of the challenges in tissue engineering is the design of optimal biomedical scaffolds, which can be governed by topographical surface characteristics, such as size, shape, and direction. Of these properties, we focus on the effects of nano - to micro - sized hierarchical surface. To fabricate the hierarchical surface structure on poly(${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone) (PCL) film, we employed a nano/micro-casting technique (NCT) and modified plasma process. The micro size topography of PCL film was controlled by sizes of the micro structures on lotus leaf. Also, the nano-size topography and hydrophilicity of PCL film were controlled by modified plasma process. After the plasma treatment, the hydrophobic property of the PCL film was significantly changed into hydrophilic property, and the nano-sized structure was well developed, as increasing the plasma exposure time and applied power. The surface properties of the modified PCL film were investigated in terms of initial cell morphology, attachment, and proliferation using osteoblast-like-cells (MG63). In particular, initial cell attachment, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in the hierarchical structure were enhanced dramatically compared to those of the smooth surface.

In preparation of silica aerogel-based hybrid coating materials, the combination of hydrophobic aerogel with organic polar binder material is shown to be very limited due to dissimilar surface property between two materials. Accordingly, the surface modification of the aerogel would be required to obtain compatibilized hybrid coating sols with homogeneous dispersion. In this study, the surface of silica aerogel particles was modified by using both surfactant adsorption and heat treatment methods. Four types of surfactants with different molecular weights and HLB values were used to examine the effect of chain length and hydrophilicity. The surface property of the modified aerogel was evaluated in terms of visible observation for aerogel dispersion in water, water contact angle measurement, and FT-IR analysis. In surface modification using surfactants, the effects of surfactant type and content, and mixing time as process parameter on the degree of hydrophilicity for the modified aerogel. In addition, the temperature condition in modification process via heat treatment was revealed to be significant factor to prepare aerogel with highly hydrophilic property.

본 연구에서는 폴리에테르설폰(polyethersulfone, PES)을 연소배가스에 포함된 수증기를 분리 및 회수하기 위한 고분자 분리막 소재로 사용하기 위해 다양한 물리 화학적 표면개질 방법을 사용하여 PES 평막 표면의 친수성을 향상시키고자 하였다. 균일한 PES 평막을 제조한 후 친수성 향상을 위한 개질 방법으로 산처리, 블렌딩 및 플라즈마 처리를 통해 표면개질을 하였고, 표면 특성을 비교하였다. PES 평막 표면의 특성 변화는 ATR-FTIR, XPS, SEM 및 접촉각 측정을 통해 관찰하였다. 황산을 이용한 산처리 방법과 양친매성 고분자를 이용한 블렌딩 방법에 의해 개질된 PES 평막에서는 접촉각의 변화가 크지 않았다. Ar 플라즈마 처리를 한 경우, 플라스마 처리 시간이 증가함에 따라 PES 표면의 친수성이 크게 증가하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 본 결과를 통해 다양한 표면개질 방법 중 플라즈마 방법을 적용하여 PES 표면을 처리하는 것이 PES 막 표면의 친수성 향상에 가장 효과적임을 확인하였다.

The determination of surface topography is believed to be extremely important in the areas of contact mechanics, adhesion and friction. In order to describe topography of various frictional surface, the wear test was carried out under different experimental conditions in dry friction. And fractal descriptors was applied to frictional surface of laser modified steel with image processing system. These descriptors to analyze surface structure are fractal dimension. Surface fractal dimension can be determined by sum of intensity difference of surface pixel. Topography of frictional surface can be effectively obtained by fractal dimensions.

표면을 개질시켜 극성기를 도입한 다음 열융착시키는 방법으로 접착제를 사용하지 않고도 폴리에틸렌 필름과 알루미늄 판을 직접 접합시킬 수 있는지를 살펴보았다. 폴리에틸렌 필름은 산소 및 아크릴산 플라즈마로 처리하여 극성기를 도입하였으며, 알루미늄 판은 끓는 물로 처리하거나 diaminocyclohexane 플라즈마로 처리하여 극성기를 도입하였다. 폴리에틸렌 필름의 표면만을 개질시킬 경우에도 상당히 높은 접착력을 얻을 수 있었으며, 알루미늄 판의 표면까지 개질시킬 경우에는 접착시험시 폴리에틸렌 필름이 끊어질 정도로 높은 접착력을 얻을 수 있었다. 특히, 아크릴산플라즈마로 처리한 폴리에틸렌 필름과 diaminocyclohexane 플라즈마로 처리한 알루미늄 판을 접합시킬 경우에는 필름 표면의 카르복실기와 판 표면의 아민기가 반응하여 아마이드 그룹을 형성하는 화학적 결합에 대한 가능성도 보여주었다.

A numerical analysis of the mathematical model for fluidized bed coal combustion has been performed. Based on the physical nature of the specific surface variation due to the decreasing of coal particle diameter according to the combustion process, the modified model which has been added the specific surface variation to the S.ENDRENYI and B.PALANCZ's mathematical model was established in this study. From the numerical analysis of these two models, it was found that the perfect combustion time is increasing largely at least 5 seconds in the modified model in comparison with that of the S.ENDRENYI and B.PALANCZ's model, and the bed temperature and the coal particle surface temperature during the main combustion period represent constant with time in the S.ENDRENYI and B.PALANCZ's model, on the other hand, these properties are decreasing linearly with time in the modified model.
