The pozzolanic characteristics of a sludge incinerated into ash were determined in this study. Lime is commonly used as a stabilizer for the treatment of soils, whereas sewage sludge ash (SSA) is often applied with lime to improve soft subgrade soil. In this study, a cohesive soil categorized as A-4 (low-plasticity clay) by AASHTO classifications was mixed with SSA/lime with a 3:1 ratio. Nano-$SiO_2$ was also added to the soil. To identify changes in the workability, strength, permeability, and shear strength of the soft subgrade soil, basic soil tests were conducted, and the microstructure of the treated soil was analyzed. The results indicate that SSA/lime mixtures improve the properties of soft subgrade soil and transform the soil from "poor subgrade soil" to "good to excellent subgrade soil" with a CBR > 8. Additionally, the addition of 2% nano-$SiO_2$ increases the unconfined compressive strength of soft subgrade soil treated with SSA/lime mixture by approximately 17 kPa. However, the swelling of the treated soil increased by approximately 0.1% after the addition of nano-$SiO_2$ and lime. Thus, soil swelling should be considered before lime and nano-$SiO_2$ are applied to soft subgrade soil.

We have studied the effect of polarity, current density, current duration, crosslinking density, swelling ratio, and permeation enhancers on the transdermal flux of ketoprofen from acrylamide hydrogel. Hydrogel was prepared by free radical crosslinking polymerization of acrylamide. Drug loading was made just before transport experiment by soaking the hydrogel in solution containing drug. In vitro flux study using hairless mouse skin was performed at $36.5^{\circ}C$ using side-by-side diffusion cell, and the drug was analysed using HPLC/UV system. The result showed that, compared to passive flux, the total amount of drug transported increased about 18 folds by the application of $0.4\;mA/cm^2$ cathodal current. Anodal delivery with same current density also increased the total amount of drug transported about 13 folds. It seemed that the increase in flux was due to the electrorepulsion and the increase in passive permeability of the skin by the current application. Flux increased as current density, the duration of current application and loading amount (swelling duration) increased. As the cross linking density of the hydrogel increased, flux clearly decreased. The effect of hydrophilic enhancers (urea, N-methyl pyrrolidone, Tween 20) and some hydrophobic enhancers (propylene glycol monolaurate and isopropyl myristate) was minimal. However, about 3 folds increase in flux was observed when 5% oleic acid was used. Overall, these results provide some useful information on the design of an optimized iontophoretic delivery system of ketoprofen.

Com and rice starches were physically modified by planetary mill. While native starches showed high peak viscosities (1,001 and 563 cp), it decreased largely (42 and 20 cp for rice and com starch, respectively) after 2 hr of physical modification. When two starches were co-ground, peak viscosities decreased more largely than single ground one only in 30 min, indicating the pasting properties could be easily changed by co-grinding. Especially, the higher the amount of com starch, the viscosity decreased more largely, which means that paste stability could be controlled also by changing the ratio of com and rice starch. Mean particle size increased with physical modification time since particles became spread because of shear force. There were also changes in surface morphology after physical modification. Fluid property, such as mean time to avalanche (MTA), was improved (from $6.16{\pm}0.47$ and $8.37{\pm}1.23\;sec$ to $5.47{\pm}0.78$ and $5.26{\pm}1.37\;sec$ for rice and com starch, respectively) by physical modification. Pasting property, such as swelling power, was also improved by physical modification. These mean that native starches can be applied to both conventional powder and new paste-food industry more efficiently by physical modification.

본 연구에서는 아민화 polyolefin-g-GMA 복합음이온 교환섬유를 이용하여 플라스마 산화된 NO의 흡착특성을 고찰하였다. 플라스마 산화에 의한 $NO_2$ 전환율은 NO 200 ppm, 산소 10%, 유속 30 L/min 일 때 최대 49% 이었다. 또한 복합음이온 교환섬유의 $NO_2$ 흡착량은 함수율이 높을수록 증가하였고 함수율이 최대 1.5 g $H_2O/g$ IEF 이었으며, 복합음이온 교환섬유의 $NO_2$ 흡착은 10 분까지 빠르게 진행되었고 120 분에서 최대 80% 흡착되었다. 이온교환 용량은 함수율이 증가함에 따라 증가하였으며, 흡착컬럼 충전 비가 L/D=5에서 0.6 mmol/g IEF로 가장 높았다. 또한 이온교환 섬유의 흡착은 Langmuir 등온흡착 모델보다 Freundlich 등온흡착 모델에 가까웠으며, 다분자층에서의 흡착이 우세하게 발생한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

본 연구에서는 반응성이 큰 친수성 단량체인 glycidylmethacrylate (GMA)를 이용하여 현탁중합법으로 bead type의 GMA-DVB 공중합체를 제조하고, 이들 공중합체를 trimethyl-ammonium chloride로 아민화하여 trimethylammonium기를 갖는 거대망상형 음이온 교환수지를 합성하였다. 여기서 지하수에 공존하는 음이온 중 $NO_3^-$ 제거에 가장 방해가 되는 $SO_4^{2-}$ 이 입체적으로 크다는 것에 착안하여 가교제인 divinylbenzene (DVB)의 양을 변화시켜 가교도에 따른 음이온에 대한 선택능을 확인하였고, 각각의 수지에 대한 물성과 $NO_3^-$ 에 대한 흡착능을 고찰하였다. 또한 FT-IR을 통하여 공중합체의 합성여부를 확인하였고, 또한 아민화 수율, 이온교환 용량 및 팽윤율을 평가하여 가교도에 따른 영향을 조사하였다. 여기서 DVB의 함량이 4wt%일 때 아민화 수율은 384.3%, 이온교환용량은 3.25 meq/g, 팽윤율은 77.1%로 가장 최적으로 나타났다.

본 연구에서는 pH 감응성 수화젤 입자를 이용하여 외부환경에 불안정한 활성물질을 화장품 제형 내에서는 안정하게 보존하고, 피부에 도포 시 빠른 방출로 피부에 흡수될 수 있는 지능형 전달시스템의 구현 가능성을 확인하기 위하여, 분산광중합을 이용하여 pH 감응성을 가지는 P(MAA-co-PEGMA) 수화젤 입자를 평균 크기 약 $2{\mu}m$의 구형 입자로 합성하였다. 합성된 P(MAA-co-PEGMA) 수화젤 입자는 수화젤의 MAA에 존재하는 카르복시기의 이온화에 의하여 pH 5를 전후로 한 급격한 팽윤비의 변화를 보여주었다. pH에 따른 수화젤 내부에 탑재된 알부민의 방출 및 피부투과 실험결과, P(MAA-co-PEGMA) 수화젤 입자는 pH 4.0에서는 소량의 알부민이 방출되어 피부 투과가 거의 일어나지 않은 반면, pH 6.0에서는 초기부터 다량의 알부민이 방출되어 상대적으로 높은 피부투과율을 나타내었다. 펩신을 이용한 알부민의 안정성 실험결과, P(MAA-co-PEGMA) 수화젤은 내부에 탑재된 알부민을 외부 환경으로부터 보호하여 알부민의 안정성을 유지시켜 주었다.

A manufacturing method has been devised to prepare novel heterogeneous cation exchange membranes by mixing ethylene vinyl acetate (EVA) copolymers with a commercial cation exchange resin. Optimum material characteristics, mixture ratios and manufacturing conditions have been worked out for achieving favorable membrane performance. Ion exchange capacity, electrical resistance, water uptake, swelling ratio and tensile strength properties were measured. SEM analysis was used to monitor morphology. Effects of vinyl acetate (VA) content, melt index (MI) and ion exchange resin content on properties of heterogeneous cation exchange membranes have been discussed. An application test was carried out by mounting a selected membrane in a membrane capacitive deionization (MCDI) system to investigate its desalination capability. 0.92 meq/g of ion exchange capacity, $8.7{\Omega}.cm^2$ of electrical resistance, $40kgf/cm^2$ of tensile strength, 19% of swelling ratio, 42% of water uptake, and 56.4% salt removal rate were achieved at best. VA content plays a leading role on the extent of physical properties and performance; however, MI is important for having uniform distribution of resin grains and achieving better ionic conductivity. Overall, manufacturing cost has been suppressed to 5-10% of that of homogeneous ion exchange membranes.

본 연구에서는 다양한 NCO index에서 물 함량 변화가 자동차용 폴리우레탄 시트 폼 패드의 정적 안락감에 미치는 영향을 알아보았다. 정적 안락감에 영향을 미치는 요인을 파악하기 위해 UTM을 사용한 정하중 특성 시험을 통하여 히스테리시스 곡선을 나타냈으며, 이를 통해 25% 변형 시 경도와 65% 변형 시 경도, hysteresis loop area, hysteresis loss (%), 그리고 Sag factor를 구하였다. 동일한 NCO index에서 물 함량이 증가함에 따라 우레아 결합의 증가로 경도가 증가하고, 가교밀도가 증가하는 경향을 swelling ratio 측정으로 확인하였으며, 이에 따라 복원력은 감소하는 경향을 확인하였다. 또한 표면 경도의 증가로 인해 Sag factor가 감소하는 경향을 확인하였다. 동일한 물 함량에서 NCO index가 증가함에 따라 우레탄과 우레아 결합이 이소시아네이트와 추가 반응하여 가교도와 경도가 증가하고 이에 따라 복원력이 감소함을 확인하였다.
