  • We use UV(ultraviolet)-$O_3$ treatment to increase the surface area and porosity of $TiO_2$ films in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs). After the UV-$O_3$ treatment, surface area and porosity of the $TiO_2$ films were increased, the increased porosity lead to amount of dye loading and solar conversion efficiency was improved. Field emission scanning electron microscopy images clearly showed that the nanocrystalline porosity of films were increased by UV-$O_3$ treatment. The Brunauer, Emmett, and Teller surface area of the $TiO_2$ films were increased from $0.71cm^2/g$ to $1.31cm^2/g$ by using UV-$O_3$ treatment for 20 min. Also, UV-$O_3$ treatment of $TiO_2$ films significantly enhanced their solar conversion efficiency. The efficiency of the films without treatment was 4.9%, and was increased to 5.6% by UV-$O_3$ treatment for 20 min. Therefore the process enhanced the solar conversion efficiency of DSSCs, and can be used to develop high sensitivity DSSCs.

  • 본 논문은 UV(ultraviolet) 처리된 자기 조립 단분자막(fluorinated self-assembled monolayers; FSAM)을 배향막으로 사용한 액정의 배향 특성을 분석하였다. 물리화학적 분석을 사용하여 UV 처리 전후의 ITO(indium-tin-oxide) 유리 기판의 FSAM 특성을 확인하였다. FSAM 표면은 UV 처리에 의해 소수성에서 친수성으로 변화하였다. LC(liquid crystal) 분자는 UV 처리된 FSAM 표면에서 수평방향으로 정렬되었고 선경사각도 90°에서 0°로 변화하였다. UV 처리된 FSAM을 배향막으로 사용하여 제작된 TN(twist nematic) 셀의 전기광학(electro optics; EO) 특성은 기존의 PI(polyimide) 배향막에 비해 응답 시간이 빠른 것을 확인하였다. 이는 UV 처리된 FSAM 이 LCD(liquid crystal display)의 기존 폴리이미드 배향막을 대체할 잠재적인 가능성을 가진다.

  • UV 조사시간과 오존유량을 변화시키면서 폴리프로필렌을 UV/오존 산화하였으며 이의 표면특성을 접촉각과 XPS를 이용하여 살펴보았다. 산화된 표면의 노화거동을 공기, 물, 에틸렌 글리콜 하에서 살펴보았으며, 또한 lap shear 실험을 통하여 접착력을 관찰하였다. 극성표면 에너지와 접착력은 UV/오존 처리시간과 오존유량이 증가함에 따라 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 물에서 노화실험을 한 경우 극성표면 에너지의 변화가 없었으나, 공기 하에서 실시한 경우 2-3일 이내에 급격히 감소하여 처리하지 않은 폴리프로필렌의 값에 근접하였다.

  • This study was performed by the sister chromatid exchanges (SCEs) to investigate the effects of Aphidicolin (APC) or 2, 4-dinitrophenoi (DNP) on cross-adaptive response to ultraviolet radiation (UV) or ethyl methanesulfonate (EMS) in Chinese hamster ovary (CHO) cells. The pretreatment with 1 J/m$^2$ UV decreased the yield of SCEs induced by subsequent treatment with 8 mM EMS in CHO cells. And the treatment with 10 $\mu$g/ml APC or 50 $\mu$M DNP during incubation after pretreatment with 1 J/m$^2$ UV increased the yield of SCEs induced by 8 mM EMS. The pretreatment with 2 mM EMS decreased the yield of SCEs induced by subsequent treatment with 5 J/m$^2$ UV. The treatment with 10 $\mu$g/ml APC during incubation after 2 mM EMS increased the yield of SCEs induced by 5 J/m$^2$ UV. These results suggest that APC and DNP inhibit cross-adaptive response to pretreatment with UV and subsequent treatment with EMS, and also cross-adaptive response to pretreatment with EMS and subsequent treatment with UV is inhibited by APC in CHO cells.

  • PP hollow fiber membrane was hydrophilized by EVOH dip coating followed by low temperature plasma treatment and UV irradiation. EVOH coating attained high water flux without any prewetting but its stability did not guaranteed at high water permeation rate. At high water permeation rate, water flux declined gradually due to swelling and delamination of the EVOH coating layer causing pore blocking effect. However, plasma treatment reduces the swelling, which suppress delamination of the EVOH coating layer from PP support result in relieving the flux decline. Also, UV irradiation helped the crosslinking of the EVOH coating layer to enhance the performance at low water permeation rate. FT-IR and ESCA analyses reveal that EVOH dip coating performed homogeneously through not only membrane surface but also matrix. Thermogram of EVOH film modified plasma treatment and W irradiation show that crosslinking density of EVOH layer increased. Chemical modification by plasma treatment and UV irradiation stabilized the hydrophilic coating layer to increase the critical flux of the submerged membrane.

  • BACKGROUND/OBJECTIVES: Ultraviolet radiation (UV) is a major cause of skin photoaging. Previous studies reported that ethanol extract (PET) of Prunus persica (L.) Batsch flowers (PPF, peach flowers) and its subfractions, particularly the ethylacetate (PEA) and n-butanol extracts (PBT), have potent antioxidant activity and attenuate the UV-induced matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) expression in human skin cells. In this study, we investigated the protective activity of PPF extract against UV-induced photoaging in a mouse model. MATERIALS/METHODS: Hairless mice were treated with PET or a mixture of PEA and PBT either topically or orally along with UV irradiation. Histological changes and biochemical alterations of mouse skin were examined. Major phenolic compounds in PPF extract were analyzed using an ACQUITY UPLC system. RESULTS: The overall effects of topical and oral treatments with PPF extract on the UV-induced skin responses exhibited similar patterns. In both experiments, the mixture of PEA and PBT significantly inhibited the UV-induced skin and epidermal thickening, while PET inhibited only the UV-induced epidermal thickening. Treatment of PET or the mixture of PEA and PBT significantly inhibited the UV-induced MMP-13 expression, but not type I collagen expression. Topical treatment of the mixture of PEA and PBT with UV irradiation significantly elevated catalase, superoxide dismutase (SOD) and glutathione-peroxidase (GPx) activities in the skin compared to those in the UV irradiated control group, while oral treatment of the mixture of PEA and PBT or PET elevated only catalase and SOD activities, but not GPx. Thirteen phytochemical compounds including 4-O-caffeoylquinic acid, cimicifugic acid E and B, quercetin-3-O-rhamnoside and kaempferol glycoside derivatives were identified in the PPF extract. CONCLUSIONS: These results demonstrate that treatment with PET or the mixture of PEA and PBT, both topically or orally, attenuates UV-induced photoaging via the cooperative interactions of phenolic components having anti-oxidative and collagen-protective activities.

  • 양산형 UV-P 처리는 장비를 20분 이상 작동하였을 때 후춧가루의 토착 중온 호기성 세균을 유의적으로 저해시켰다. UV-P 처리는 토착 미생물 저해에 있어 상승효과를 보여주었으나 후춧가루의 색을 어둡게 하였다. UV-P 처리의 후춧가루 미생물 저해 효과와 색 변화에 대한 영향은 처리되는 후춧가루를 오염시키는 미생물과 후춧가루 종류에 영향을 받음을 알 수 있었다. 또한 본 연구 결과는 UV-P 장비 내 플라즈마 충적 시간과 후춧가루의 $a_w$ 상승이 UV-P 처리된 후춧가루의 미생물 저해 효과 향상과 색 유지에 효과적이지 않음을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구는 UV-C와 플라즈마 처리를 병합한 양산형 UV-P 처리가 후춧가루의 토착 미생물을 저해시키는 기술로서의 가능성을 보여주었다. 그러나 앞으로 추가적인 연구를 통해 UV-P 처리부의 온도상승 및 후춧가루의 색도 변화를 최소화할 수 있는 방법이 제시되어야 할 것이다.

  • Problems due to the taste and odor in drinking water are common in treatment facilities around the world. Taste and odor are perceived by the public as the primary indicators of the safely and acceptability of drinking water, and are mainly caused by the presence of two semi-volatile compounds-2-methylisoborneol(2-MIB) and geosmin. Conventional treatment processes in water treatment plants, such as coagulation, sedimentation and chlorination have been found to be ineffective for the removal of 2-MIB and geosmin. Pulse UV system is a new UV irradiation system that is a non-mercury lamp-based alternative to currently used continuous wave systems for water disinfection. This study shows pulse UV system to be effective in treatment of these two compounds. Geosmin removal efficiency of UV process alone achieved approximately 70% at 10sec contact time. 2-MIB removal efficiency of UV only process achieved approximately 60% at 10sec contact time. The addition of $H_{2}O_{2}$ 7mg/L increased geosmin and 2-MIB removal efficiency upto approximately 94% and 91%, respectively.

  • The removal efficiency of organic compounds and the toxicity evaluation of microorganism have been studied in dye wastewater treatment using $UV/TiO_2$ and $UV/H_2O_2$ photooxidation system. Sample waters tested in this work were raw dye wastewater and dye wastewater treated in $UV/TiO_2$ and $UV/H_2O_2$ photooxidation system respectively. Total organic carbon(TOC) removal rate was 50% in $UV/TiO_2$ process and 80% in $UV/H_2O_2$ process. It has been investigated with colony counting agar method and paper disk method whether the type of treatment process has affected the microorganism growth. In the raw wastewater, more than four types of microorganisms have survived. But, little of microorganisms were alive at TOC removal rate of 50% in $UV/TiO_2$ system. In contrast to that, two types of microorganisms were found at TOC removal rate of 80% in $UV/H_2O_2$ system.
