Continuous photografting/crosslinking of polyethyleneglycol dimethacrylate oligomers onto cotton using a water-soluble benzophenone photoinitiator was investigated. Photografting increased with increasing irradiation dose, oligomer concentration and photoinitiator concentration. Maximum grafting efficiency of DM 400 and 600 were 83% and 79%, respectively. the photografting increased the wrinkle resistance of cotton implying surface crosslinking of cotton. bothsurface crosslinking and bulk crosslinking of cotton were accomplished via dual curing of a mixed formulation containing both a thermally curable component (BTCCA/SHP) and a UV-curable component. The wrinkle resistance of the crosslinked cotton was found to be higher when cured by thermal curing due to the facile post-polymerization of the UV active component. The presence of crosslinks in the dually crosslinked cotton was verified with FT-IR and thermogravimetric analysis.

Poly(vinyl acetate) films containing benzophenone were photocrosslinked by continuous UV irradiation.UV irradiation of PVAc film containing 5% benzophenone induced bulk crosslinking of the polymer indicated by 84.1% of gel fraction after ethyl acetate extraction. The crosslinking was attributed to the recombination of tertiary polymer radicals generated upon UV irradiation, which was enhanced by the hydrogen abstraction of benzophenone. Also the UV irradiation resulted in scission of ester linkage and photooxidation of PVAc surface, which was verified by ATR and zeta potential analysis, implying that the PVAc surface became more polar and hydrophilic. The zeta potential proportionally increased from +4.5mV to -26.8 mV with increasing UV irradiation. Also the surface energy of the PVAc film increased with higher UV irradiation upto 56.5 $mJ/m^2$ by the enhanced Lewis acid/base component with larger contribution of Lewis acid parameter. Accordingly the crosslinked PVAc showed higher thermal stability with increasing UV energy.

UV curing was introduced via a chemical treatment by adding small amounts of a hexafunctional acrylic monomer and a photoinitiator to improve the mechanical properties of PLA. This study also employed a semi-interpenetrated structured polymer network through the process of UV-curing. The UV curing behaviors were investigated using FTIR-ATR spectroscopy and gel fraction determination. Also, the tensile strength was investigated with different hexafunctional acrylic monomer contents and UV doses. The results showed that the crosslinking of UV-induced chemically treated PLA started at a low content of hexafunctional acrylic monomer, resulting in a significant improvement of the mechanical properties compared to those of neat PLA due to crosslinking.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) was crosslinked by UV irradiation in the presence of water soluble photoinitiators. The crosslinking of PVA films with 1,2,3,4-Butanetetracarboxylic acid(BTCA) and sodium phosphinate monohydrate(SPM) was also achieved via thermal curing. Different factors in the crosslinking including thermal and radiation methods were studied. Gel fraction of PVA films increased with increasing photoinitiator concentration. The maximum gel fraction on the crosslinking method was reached about 81%. The glass transition and maximum decomposition temperature improved by both thermal and radiation crosslinking.

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.

Di-tyrosine photo-crosslinking of silk fibroin (SF) is recently highlighted as a biocompatible hydrogel fabrication process, because this method does not need potentially harmful chemical species. However, the resulting crosslinking density is often insufficient to obtain a mechanically stiff hydrogel unless additional oxygen is provided during the reaction. In this study, we proposed a combinational crosslinking method to form an SF hydrogel via the di-tyrosine photo-crosslinking with riboflavin (photoinitiator) and physical interaction of SF chains. In the UV light-irradiated SF solution, small particles formed and these particles promoted β-sheet formation of SF molecules, resulting in quick gelation. The di-tyrosine photo-crosslinking produced nuclei that might trigger regular assembly of SF molecules in high temperature condition. Conclusively, this process would contribute to a development of biocompatible hydrogel fabrication for biomedical uses of SF hydrogels.

UV경화형 2-ethylhexyl acrylate(2-EHA)/acrylic acid(AA) 점착제의 점착특성에 대한 경화제 함량의 영향에 대해 조사하였다. 0.01 wt%의 극소량의 MMT가 도입된 아크릴 단량체 혼합물에 각각 0, 0.05, 0.1, 0.3 wt%의 1,6-hexanediol diacrylate(HDDA)를 경화제로 첨가하고 UV조사를 실시하여 점착제를 제조하였다. MMT 도입이 공중합체의 경화 거동과 점착제의 표면 특성에 미치는 영향은 매우 낮았으나, 점착특성의 경우 MMT의 도입으로 분자 사슬의 유연성이 제한되면서 응집파괴(cohesive failure)가 억제되는 것을 확인하였다. 그러나 0.3 wt%의 경화제가 도입된 점착제는 사슬 경직성이 크게 증가하면서 MMT의 첨가가 오히려 점착특성을 저하시키는 것으로 추측되었다. 결과를 토대로 2-EHA/AA 점착제의 경우 0.05 wt%의 낮은 함량의 경화제와 극소량의 MMT의 도입이 박리 시 응집파괴 없이 균형적인 점착특성을 부여하는 것으로 판단된다.

Tyrosinase oxidizes the tyrosyl residues in silk fibroin (SF) with oxygen, resulting in the production of ο-quinone residues. Subsequently, the inter-or intramolecular crosslinks are formed by reaction with amino groups in through nonenzymatic process. The measurement of oxygen consumption proved that the tyrosyl residues in SF were mostly oxidized to quinone residues by tyrosinase. The reaction mechanisms were proposed in this study and the crosslinking reaction of ο-quinone residues and the enzymatic oxidation of tyrosyl residues could be confirmed by the measurements of UV, $^1$H-NMR and GFC.

HIV-1 Rev단백질은 바이러스의 구조단백질의 발현조절에 매우 중요한 역할을 하며RNA가 1차발현된 원형대로 또는 일부만이 절단/재조합된 상태로 세포질에 집적되는 것을 가능하게 한다. env gene에 존재하는 Rev-responsive element RNA는 복잡한 RNA구조를 지니면서 Rev의 기능을 위하여 필수적으로 필요시 된다. 그러나 이러한 절차의 완전한 진행을 위해서는 핵단백질이 요구되는 것으로 추정된다. 본 연구에서는 electrophoretic mobility shift, UV-crosslinking 또는 SDS/PAGE등의 실험을 통하여 36/37, 56, 41, 76, 150 kD등의 핵단백질등이 RRE RNA와 결합반응하는 것을 발견하였으며 특히 36/37 과 56 kD 단백질을 5분간의 자외선조사에 의해 특히 RRE RNA에 결합하는 핵단백질들은 gel mobility shift assay에서 Rev RNA인식결합에 경쟁적인 특징을 나타내고 있다.

The copolymmers of N, N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate(DAEM) and N-arylmethacrylamide (AMA) were prepared, and their photochemical properties as a negative photoresist were studied by the measurements of insoluble fraction, and by UV and IR absorption spectral changes. These copolymers are soluble in DMF, actone, methanol, of acidic buffer solutions. Solubility of these copolymer films in the vuffer solutions increased with the amount of DAEM units in the copolymer and decreased with the pH value. The insoluble fraction of the copolymer films in the buffer solution of pH 4 of in methanol increased with irradiation time and the amount of AMA units in the copolymer. UV and IR spectral changes indicated that not only photo-crosslinking but also the photo-Fries rearrangement took place upon irradiation with a 254nm UV light.
