New possibilities are discussed for cholesteric liquid crystals (CLC) as sensor materials for detection of ionizing radiation, biologically active UV radiation, and the presence of hazardous vapors in atmosphere. A distinguishing property of CLC-based detectors is their 'bioequivalence', i.e., mechanisms of their response to external factors essentially imitate the corresponding mechanisms of biological tissues. Such detectors can ensure sufficiently high sensitivity to make feasible their use as alarm indicators or in biophysical studies. Specific examples ate given of sensor compositions and their response characteristics.

Concerns on environmental waste problems caused by non-biodegradable petrochemical-based plastic packaging materials as well as consumer's demand for high quality food products has caused an increasing interest in developing biodegradable packaging materials using annually renewable natural biopolymers such as polysaccharides and proteins. However, inherent shortcomings of natural polymer-based packaging materials such as low mechanical properties and low water resistance are causing a major limitation for their industrial use. By the way, recent advent of nanocomposite technology rekindled interests on the use of natural biopolymers in the food packaging application. Polymer nanocomposites, especially natural biopolymer-layered silicate nanocomposites, exhibit markedly improved packaging properties due to their nanometer size dispersion. These improvements include increased mechanical strength, decreased gas permeability, and increased water resistance. Additionally, biologically active ingredients can be added to impart the desired functional properties to the resulting packaging materials. Consequently, natural biopolymer-based nanocomposite packaging materials with bio-functional properties have huge potential for application in the active food packaging industry. In this review, recent advances in the preparation and characterization of natural biopolymer-based nanocomposite films, and their potential use in food packaging applications are addressed.

Nanocomposite has been considered as an emerging technology in developing a novel food packaging materials. Polymer nanocomposites exhibit markedly improved packaging properties due to their nanometer size dispersion. These improvements include increased barrier properties pertaining to gases such as oxygen, carbon dioxide, and water vapor, as well as to UV rays, and increased mechanical properties such as strength, stiffness, dimensional stability, and heat resistance. Additionally, biologically active ingredients can be added to impart the desired functional properties to the resulting packaging materials. New packaging materials created with this technology demonstrate an increased shelf life with maintaining high quality of the product. Nanotechnology offers big benefits for packaging. Nanocomposite technology paves the way for packaging innovation in the flexible and rigid packaging applications, offering enhanced properties such as greater barrier protection, increased shelf life and lighter-weight materials.

우리나라 전지역의 산과 들에 야생하고 있는 고들빼기(Youngia sonchifolia Max.)는 전통식품인 고들빼기 김치의 원료로 이용될 뿐만 아니라 오래전부터 민간에서 위장장애 치료재로 이용되어 왔다. 그래서 고들빼기의 생화학적 활성 및 항암 실험과 그 특수성분을 분석하였는데 hexane 추출물 중에서 silica gel column chromatography와 재결정으로 얻어낸 화합물은 무색판상 결정으로 융점이 $280{\sim}282^{\circ}C$ 이었으며 구조결정을 위해 $^{13}C-NMR$, $^1H-NMR$, MS로 분석한 결과 pentacyclic triterpene인 bauerenyl acetate인 것을 확인하였다.

본 연구는 무기물성 및 식물성 유래 생리활성물질로서 scoria, germanium, charcoal, 생강, stevia 및 CLA(conjugated linoleic acid)가 병원성 미생물 및 반추위 미생물에 대한 작용을 조사하기 위하여 수행되었다. 병원성 균으로서 Escherichia coli O157, Salmonella paratyphi, Listeria monocytogenes 및 Staphylococcus aureus에 적용하여 항균활성을 측정하고, in vitro 발효 시 반추위 미생물 성장률, 가스 생성량, 암모니아 농도, CMCase 활성 및 미생물의 수를 측정하였다. 병원성 미생물 배양액에 생강을 0.1% 첨가한 구에서만 항균활성이 나타났으나, paper disc법에 의한 항균활성 시험에서는 stevia 10%첨가구와 CLA 10% 첨가구에서 E. coli에 대해서 항생제 첨가구인 positive control 구와 비슷한 크기의 clear zone을 형성하였다. in vitro 반추위 미생물 발효시험에서는 생강, stevia 및 CLA가 반추위 박테리아와 프로토조아의 증식을 억제하는 것으로 나타났는데, 특히 생강 첨가구의 경우 메탄 생성균의 서식지로 알려져 있는 프로토조아를 크게 억제함으로써 메탄생성 억제제로서 개발 가능성이 있는 것으로 사료된다.

Chemical modification of titanium/titanium oxide (Ti/$TiO_2$) substrates has recently gained a great deal of attention because of the applications of Ti/$TiO_2$-based materials to biomedical areas. The reported modification methods generally involve passive coating of Ti/$TiO_2$ substrates with protein-resistant materials, and poly(ethylene glycol) (PEG) has proven advantageous for bestowing a nonbiofouling property on the surface of Ti/$TiO_2$. However, the wider applications of Ti/$TiO_2$ based materials to biomedical areas will require the introduction of biologically active moieties onto Ti/$TiO_2$, in addition to nonbiofouling property. In this work, we therefore utilized surface-initiated polymerization to coat the Ti/$TiO_2$ substrates with polymers presenting the nonbiofouling PEG moiety and subsequently conjugated biologically active compounds to the PEG-presenting, polymeric films. Specifically, a Ti/$TiO_2$ surface was chemically modified to present an initiator for atom transfer radical polymerization, and poly(ethylene glycol) methacrylate (pEGMA) was polymerized from the surface. After activation of hydroxyl groups of poly(pEGMA) (pPEGMA) with N,N'-disuccinimidyl carbonate, biotin, a model compound, was conjugated to the pPEGMA films. The reactions were confirmed by infrared spectroscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, contact angle goniometry, and ellipsometry. The biospecific binding of target proteins was also utilized to generate micropatterns of proteins on the Ti/$TiO_2$ surface.

For the past three decades, extensive research has been performed in the surface design of new polymers for a variety of medical applications. Great progress in therapeutics and diagnostics can be attributed to these scientific advances in biomedical polymers. A variety of bioinert materials or bioactive materials using drugs, cells, and growth factors are widely utilized for the implants, devices and tissue regeneration. These materials provide an improved biocompatible materials to host, to significantly decrease or increase the host/tissue/blood response to the foreign materials. In the future, biomaterials will play a different role in modern therapeutics. New materials will be tailored to interact more on a protein and cellular level to achieve high degree of biocompatibility, biospecificity and bioacitivity. In this presentation, various biocompatible materials based on surface/bulk engineering will be demonstrated, which can be utilized as therapeutics implants and therapeutic vehicles for biologically active molecules such as cell, protein /peptide and gene.

Electro-Active Paper (EAPap) is one of attractive electro-active polymer (EAP) materials for artificial muscles due to its many advantages such as light weight, biologically degradable, low cost, large displacement output, low actuation voltage and low power consumption. However, drawbacks of EAPap actuators include low force output and humidity dependence. To enhance the performance of EAPap, conductive polymer (PPy) and SWNT/conductive polymer (PANI) are coated on EAPap PPy as conductive polymer is coated on cellulose EAPap by means of electrochemical deposition. Two different dopants are used in PPy through conducting polymer processing. SWNTS are mixed with PANI in emeraldine base along with different dopants. The compound materials are coated on cellulose EAPap using spin coating system. The performance of PPy/EAPap and SWNT/PANI/EAPap are evaluated in terms of bending displacement, blocked force, and the effects of dopants, humidity, coaling time, voltage and frequency are investigated. Comparing with EAPap actuators, SWNT/PANI/EAPap actuators show $200\%$ improvement of bending displacement and $300\%$ increment of blocked force.
