In order to study the solubilization of aniline by cationic surfactants (DTAB, TTAB and CTAB), the solubilization constant (K_s) and thermodynamic functions were measured and calculated by using the UV-Vis method. The solubilization constants of aniline with the change of temperature were measured, and the effects of addition of ionic salts and organics on the solubilization constants were investigated. These effects of additives and temperature changes were compared and analyzed for each type of surfactant, and the solubilization of aniline was analyzed microscopically by comparing and evaluating the thermodynamic functions obtained from the solubilization constants. As a result, the Gibbs free energy and enthalpy changes were both negative and the entropy changes were positive within the measured range for the solubilization of aniline by cationic surfactants. The solubilization constant value decreased with increasing temperature and increased with increasing carbon chain length of the surfactant. As the concentration of ionic salts increased, the Gibbs free energy change increased at first and then decreased. In n-butanol solution, the Gibbs free energy change tended to increase continuously with increasing the concentration of n-butanol.

The critical micelle concentration (CMC) values of the mixed surfactant systems and the solubilization conatant (K_s) values of 4-ethylaniline in those solutions were measured and analyzed by the UV-Vis method. As a result, the mixed surfactant systems of TTAB/LSB and TTAB/TX-100 did not deviate significantly from ideal mixed micellization. However, the mixed systems of SDS/LSB and SDS/TX-100 showed great negative deviations from ideal mixed model. These differences showed that the intensity of the interaction between two components in the mixed micelle was different for each mixed system and that these differences greatly influenced the solubilization of 4-ethylaniline by a mixed surfactant system. Among pure surfactants, an anionic surfactant such as SDS showed a greater K_s value than other ionic surfactants, and the K_s value by each surfactant system decreased in the order of SDS≫TTAB≧LSB>TX-100. In addition, the K_s values of all the mixed surfactant systems were higher than those of the pure surfactants constituting the mixed systems.

In this study, the photocatalytic degradation of rhodamine B (RhB), methyl orange (MO) and methylene blue (MB) was carried out under visible light irradiation using CdS and CdZnS/ZnO photocatalysts prepared by a simple precipitation method. This study focused on examining the effect of physicochemical properties of dye and photocatalyst on the reaction pathway of photocatalytic degradation. The prepared photocatalysts were characterized by XRD, UV-vis DRS and XPS. Both the CdS and CdZnS/ZnO photocatalysts exhibit an excellent absorption in the visible light and the UV light regions. It was observed that the photocatalytic degradation of MO proceeds via the same reaction mechanism on both the CdS and CdZnS/ZnO photocatalysts. However, the photocatalytic degradation of RhB and MB was found to proceed through a different reaction pathway on the CdS and CdZnS/ZnO catalysts. It is interesting to note that MB dimer was formed on the CdS catalyst at the beginning of the photocatalytic reaction, while the MB monomer was degraded during the overall photocatalytic reaction on CdZnS/ZnO. The above results may be mainly ascribed to the difference of band edge potential of the conduction band in the CdS and CdZnS/ZnO semiconductors and the adsorption property of dye on the catalysts.

We developed a method to measure the concentration of highly concentrated colored samples using color coordinates. We present a color analysis to estimate the concentration of highly concentrated binary solutions with an empirical function and apply it to estimate the kinetics of a catalytic irreversible reaction of resazurin to resorufin. The developed method enabled one to measure the concentration of solutions whose range of concentrations is nonlinear and beyond the limit of UV-vis spectroscopic measurement directly without dilution.

This study focuses on the removal of water-suspended toluene of a representative sick house compounds in a liquid photo-system using nanometer-sized Sn-incorporated $TiO_2$ which was synthesized by a solvothermal method. The characteristics of the synthesized Sn-$TiO_2$ were analyzed by X-ray Diffraction (XRD), Transmission electron microscopy (TEM), Scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and UV-visible spectroscopy (UV-Vis). To estimate the photocatalytic activity of Sn-$TiO_2$, the photodegradation of water-suspended toluene was performed, and the remaining concentration was determined using UV-visible spectroscopy. The water-suspended toluene photodegradation over Sn-incorporated $TiO_2$ catalyst was better than that over pure $TiO_2$ (anatase). The water-suspended toluene of 500 ppm was perfectly decomposed within 300 minutes over 0.01 mol% Sn-$TiO_2$.

The root of Stnchys Sieboldif MIQ was extracted three times with methanol and extract was found to contain 3.02% of polyphenols and 1.97% of flavonoids. DPPH radical scavenging method, ferric thiocyanate method, and nitrite scavenging ability method were employed to investigate the constituents of the extract and to measure their activity on antioxidation. The fraction extracted by ethylacetate showed higher anti oxidation value than that of $\alpha-tocopherol$, butylated hydroxyanisole (BHA), and butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) at the same concentration. UV-VIS spectral data of the extract by ethylacetate that was isolated on a silica gel column proved adsorption maxima in the range of 280∼330 nm. The fraction ES-RS that has $\lambda_{max}(nm)$ of band 1, 325nm and band II, 289nm exhibitd the strongest activity on antioxidation. ES-R5 fraction showed similar pattern to flavones by the analysis of UV-VIS spectral data.

Superhydrophobic $TiO_2$ thin films were successfully fabricated on a glass substrate by wet process. Layer-by-layer (LBL) deposition and liquid phase deposition (LPD) methods were used to fabricate the thin films of micro-nano complex structure with a high roughness. To fabricate superhydrophobic $TiO_2$ thin films, the (PAH/PAA) thin films were assembled on a glass substrate by LBL method and then $TiO_2$ nanoparticles were deposited on the surface of (PAH/PAA) thin film by LPD method, Subsequently, hydrophobic treatment using fluoroalkyltrimethoxysilane (FAS) was carried out on the surface of prepared $TiO_2$ thin films. The $TiO_2$ thin film fabricated with 45 minutes immersion time on $(PAH/PAA)_{10}$ showed the RMS roughness of 65.6nm, water contact angel of $155^{\circ}$ and high transmittance of above 80% (>650nm in wavelength) after the hydrophobic treatment. The Surface morphologies, optical properties and contact angel of prepared thin films with different experimental conditions were measured by field emission scanning electron microscope (FE-SEM), atomic force microscope (AFM), UV-Vis spectrophotometer and contact angle meter.

RF magnetron sputtering법을 이용하여 사파이어, 유리 기판위에 ZnO박막을 기판온도를 달리하여 증착하여 ZnO박막의 구조적, 광학적 특성을 조사하였다. 또한, RTA (Rapid Thermal Annealing)를 이용하여 ZnO박막의 열처리 효과도 확인하였다. XRD (X-ray diffraction)결과 사파이어 기판에서는 상온에서, 유리 기판에서는 $400^{\circ}C$일 때 ZnO박막의 가장 좋은 특성을 나타냈다. UV-vis spectrometer측정 결과 가시광선 영역에서 사파이어 기판에서는 80%가 넘는 투과율을 유리 기판에서는 90%가 넘는 투과율을 보였다. 열처리 후 XRD peak의 세기가 높아졌고, 반치폭도 감소함을 보여 ZnO박막의 결정성이 향상되었다. 그리고 밴드갭의 변화도 관찰되었다.

The interaction between polyvinylpyrrolidone(PVP) and silver cation has been studied in water at room temperature and atmospheric pressure. The PVP and PVP/Ag composite was observed by transmission electron microscopy (TEM), UV-VIS absorption spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and oxygen/carbon dioxide analyzer. We identified silver cations interacting with nonbonding electrons of the oxygen atom in the carbonyl group of PVP. It was shown that PVP/Ag formed stable composites.
