This is the first release of an interim report on the development of coating technology of Zn-Mg alloy layers on steel strip by EML-PVD (electromagnetic levitation - physical vapor deposition) process in an air-to-air type continuous PVD pilot plant. It intends to introduce a basic principle of the EML-PVD process together with the high speed PVD pilot plant built in Posco. Due to the agitation effect provided by the high frequency induction coil, simultaneous evaporation of Zn and Mg from a droplet could produce alloy coating layers with Mg content of 6% to 12% depending on the composition of the droplet inside the coil. For its superior corrosion resistance, Zn-Mg alloy coated steel would be a very promising material for automotive, electrical appliances, and construction applications.

This study was carried out to produce the maltooligosaccharides directly from the culture medium containing high concentration of soluble starch as carbohydrate source by Bacillus cereus IAM 1072. Optimum conditions for the production of maltopentaose and maltooligosaccharides were predicted as 10.62 and 10.92 in C/N ration, 115.74 and 116.51 rpm in agitation speed, 30.19 and 30.9$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. And at these conditions, products of maltopentaose and maltooligosaccharides were 23.23 and 50.33g/L, respectively. From the results of continuous culture for maltopentaose, the productivity increased up to 6.9 times, showing 6.6g/L/hr compared with 0.96g/L/hr batch culture. Maltopentaose showed lower sweetness at 3% concentration representing 1/5 of that sugar. Also, swelling power of maltooligosaccharides was reached to the same point with sugar after fermentation.

The objective of this study was to investigate the effects of nutrients and culture conditions on morphology during the seed culture of C. acremonium ATCC 20339 Morphological factors such as hyphal length number of tips number of arthrospores were observed to investigate the relationship between seed morphology and CPC production. During the time course of seed culture, hyphal length was shortened and the number of arthrospores increased rapidly On the other hand the number of tips deceased rapidly and this was closely related to the hyphal length Mixed nitrogen sources of 3% solybean meal and 1% cotton seed flour were determined as the proper organic nitrogen sources, in terms of the morphological factors in the seed culture. This fact was proven in batch culture for the production of Cephalosporin C. It was also found that a proper agitation speed enhanced the morphological differentiation of C. acremonium ATCC 20339, thus improving the production of Cephalosporin C.

The graft copolymerization of methyl methacrylate(MMA) onto natural rubber latex(NRL) initiated by t-butyl hydroperoxide(t-BHPO) was investigated in aquous medium. The grafting percentage, grafting efficiency and total conversion were observed in various reaction conditions such as monomer, initiator and emulsifier concentration, reaction temperature, reaction time and agitation speed. The optimum conditions for the graft copolymerization onto natural rubber latex were as follows ; At given monomer concentration of $3{\times}10^{-2}mole/l$, the maximum grafting percentage was appeared in the case of grading in initiator concentration of $4{\times}10^{-2}mo1e/l$ and emulsifier concentration of 0.2wt.% at $40^{\circ}C$ for 5hrs.

전기도금법으로 제조한 $Ni-TiO_2$ 복합체에 교반 속도가 전류효율에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. 교반은 공기를 불어넣은 공기교반과 자석막대를 회전시킨 자석교반으로 나누어 실시하였다. 교반 속도는 공기교반의 경우에는 0.5, 1.0, 1.5 L/min, 자석교반의 경우에는 100, 200, 300, 400, 500 rpm으로 변화시켜 $Ni-TiO_2$ 복합체의 전류효율과 순수 니켈의 전류효율 변화를 관찰하였다. 순수 니켈의 경우 전류효율이 두 종류의 교반 방식 모두, 속도가 높아질수록 다소 감소하였으나, 그 폭이 크지 않았다. 반면, $Ni-TiO_2$ 복합체의 경우에는 교반 속도가 높아지면, 전류효율이 급격히 감소하였다. 특히, 공기교반의 경우에는 1.0L/min에서 1.5L/min으로 교반속도가 증가하면 전류효율이 크게 감소하였다.

In this study, manufacturing process for microcapsules with the self-healing agent was introduced and the characteristics of microcapsules manufactured by varying with various manufacturing process variables were evaluated through a particle size analyzer, an optical microscope, and a TGA. Urea-formaldehyde resin was used for the thin wall of microcapsules and DCPD (dicyclopentadiene) was used for the self-healing agent. The various manufacturing process variables, such as (1) 24hr, 40hr, 48hr, 60hr of the solution time of the EMA copolymer, (2) pH3.5, pH4.0, pH4.5 of the hydrogen ion concentration of the emulsified solution, (3) 400rpm, 500rpm, 600rpm, 1000rpm of the agitation speed of the emulsified solution, (4) $50^{\circ}$, $55^{\circ}$, $60^{\circ}$ of the reaction temperature of the emulsified solution, were considered. According to the results, the particle size distribution of microcapsules was affected on the agitation speed, and the thermal stability of microcapsules was influenced by the solution time of the EMA copolymer, the hydrogen ion concentration, and the reaction temperature of the emulsified solution. Therefore, suitable manufacturing process variables should be applied to obtain thermally stable microcapsules capable of containing the healing agent capable until the thin wall of microcapsules were to be burned.

The change of molecular weight inside and outside a capsule produced using coencapsulating technology was investigated. Chitosan and chitosanase were enveloped in this membrane and product released was a loaded the medium by the principle of size exclusion. The leakage of substrate corresponding to the agitation speed was controlled by adjusting the alginate and CaCO$_3$ concentrations. The optimal condition of alginate concentration and agitation speed were 0.5% and 40rpm, respectively. Membrane thickness and capsules diameter were 10 $\mu$m and approx. 3.0 - 1.5 mm, respectively. Molecular weight difference by concentration and alginate viscosity were of little significance. In accordance with the molecular weight distribution versus enzyme concentration relationship, low concentration of enzyme produced high molecular weight oligosaccharides. At a 1.5 mm capsule size the product diffusion rate to outer surface highest. The molecular weight distribution of the released oligosaccharides was ranged from 1000 to 6000 Da. More than 80% of the initial activity of encapsulated enzyme retained after 8hrs of reaction.

Using response surface methodology(RSM), the various conditions(agitation speed, air flow, glucose concentration) in jar fermentor culture were investigated to find the optimum conditions for maximum enzyme production. Central-composite-design was used to control the variable constant in the experiment. The glucose isomerase production of Steptomyces chibaensis J-59 was mostly affected by the air flow rate and glucose concentration. The estimated optimum conditions were as follows: 1% birchwood xylan, 1.5% CSL, 0.1% $MgSO_4{\cdot}7H_2O$, 0.012% $CoCl_2{\cdot}6H_2O$, pH 7.0; air flow, 2.2vvm; agitation speed, 587rpm; glucose concentration, 0.586%. Experimental values(7.43GIU/ml) for the enzyme production obtained from the given optimum conditions had a almost resemblane to response values(7.67GIU/ml) predicted by the RSM. The jar fermentor culture by the RSM produced xylose isomerase about 2.7 times as much as the baffled flask culture.

The effects of equivalent of iron powder, particle size, agitation speed on the removal efficiency of copper ion were investigated by adding iron powder as cementation agents to simulated mine drainage solution with 117.15 mg/L Cu ion. The 50 % of Cu was removed at 90 min with 2 equivalent of iron powder while more than 99 % of Cu was removed at 60 min with 16 equivalent at 200 rpm and $20^{\circ}C$. The removal efficiencies of Cu ion were not different using 2 equivalent of $48{\mu}m$ and $150{\mu}m$ iron powder, and the removal efficiency increased rapidly with increasing the agitation speed to more than 400 rpm. This lower removal efficiency resulted from agglomeration of iron powder observed by SEM, which could reduce the effective specific surface area. More than 99 % of copper ion was removed using 2 equivalent of $48{\mu}m$ iron powder at 60 min, 600 rpm and $20^{\circ}C$.

Films fabricated using atomic layer 2-dimensional nanosheets exhibit various physical properties depending on the size of the nanosheet. This is because the physical properties of the film depend on the interfacial properties between the sheets. Therefore, the synthesis of large-sized nanosheets is very important because it can reduce the dependency of the film on the interfacial properties. In this study, we succeeded in fabricating $TiO_x$ nanosheets with atomic layer thickness over micrometer size by using single-crystallized starting material and its chemical exfoliation. In addition, it was revealed that the mechanical agitation speed (the stirring speed of a magnetic bar) during the exfoliation step using the organic material is closely related to the nanosheet size and the colloidal concentration of the nanosheets.
