Chitosan ($\beta$-D-glucosaminan) is chemically prepared from chitin (N-acetyl-$\beta$- D-glucosaminan) which is an unutilized natural resource. We now report on the suitability of the chitosan matrix for use as vehicles for the controlled release of drugs. Salicylic acid and aspirin were used as model drugs in this study. The permeation of salicylic acid in the chitosan membranes was determined in a glass diffusion cell with two compartments of equal volume. Drug release studies on the devices were conducted in a beaker containing 5% sodium hydroxide solution. Partition coefficient (Kd) value for acetate membrane (472) is much greater than that for fluoro-perchlorate chitosan membrane (282). Higher Kd value for acetate chitosan membrane appears to be inconsisstent with the bulk salicylic acid concentration. The permeability constants of fluoro-perchlorate and acetate chisotan membranes for salicylic acid were 3.139 ${\times}10^{-7}cm^2$ min up to 60 min and that of 30% aspirin in the devices was 4.739${\times}10^{-7}cm^2$sec upto 60 min. As the loading dose of aspirin in a chitosan device increased, water up-take of chitosan device increased, but in case of salicylic acid it decreased. The release rate increased with increase in the molecular volume of the drugs. Thses result suggest that the release mechanism may be controlled mainly by diffusion through pores.

The comprehensive understanding of the fiber reinforced polymer behavior requires the use of advanced non-destructive testing methods due to its heterogeneous microstructure and anisotropic mechanical proprieties. In addition, the material response under load is strongly associated with manufacturing defects (e.g., voids, inclusions, fiber misalignment, debonds, improper cure and delamination). Such imperfections and microstructures induce various damage mechanisms arising at different scales before macrocracks are formed. The origin of damage phenomena can only be fully understood with the access to underlying microstructural features. This makes X-ray Computed Tomography an appropriate imaging tool to capture changes in the bulk of fibrous materials. Moreover, Digital Volume Correlation (DVC) can be used to measure kinematic fields induced by various loading histories. The correlation technique relies on image contrast induced by microstructures. Fibrous composites can be reinforced by different fiber architectures that may lead to poor natural contrast. Hence, a priori analyses need to be performed to assess the corresponding DVC measurement uncertainties. This study aimed to evaluate measurement resolutions of global and regularized DVC for glass fiber reinforced polymers with different fiber architectures. The measurement uncertainties were evaluated with respect to element size and regularization lengths. Even though FE-based DVC could not reach the recommended displacement uncertainty with low spatial resolution, regularized DVC enabled for the use of fine meshes when applying appropriate regularization.

In this study, the effect of particle size of genistein-loaded solid lipid particulate systems on drug dissolution behavior and oral bioavailability was investigated. Genistein-loaded solid lipid microparticles and nanoparticles were prepared with glyceryl palmitostearate. Except for the particle size, other properties of genistein-loaded solid lipid microparticles and nanoparticles such as particle composition and drug loading efficiency and amount were similarly controlled to mainly evaluate the effect of different particle sizes of the solid lipid particulate systems on drug dissolution behavior and oral bioavailability. The results showed that genistein-loaded solid lipid microparticles and nanoparticles exhibited a considerably increased drug dissolution rate compared to that of genistein bulk powder and suspension. The microparticles gradually released genistein as a function of time while the nanoparticles exhibited a biphasic drug release pattern, showing an initial burst drug release, followed by a sustained release. The oral bioavailability of genistein loaded in solid lipid microparticles and nanoparticles in rats was also significantly enhanced compared to that in bulk powders and the suspension. However, the bioavailability from the microparticles increased more than that from the nanoparticles mainly because the rapid drug dissolution rate and rapid absorption of genistein because of the large surface area of the genistein-solid lipid nanoparticles cleared the drug to a greater extent than the genistein-solid lipid microparticles did. Therefore, the findings of this study suggest that controlling the particle size of solid-lipid particulate systems at a micro-scale would be a promising strategy to increase the oral bioavailability of genistein.

$TiO_2(001)$ 박막을 Mo(100) 기판에 약 90${\AA}$ 두께로 적층 성장시키고 그 위에 Au를 증착시켜서 Au의 성장모드, 클러스터의 열적 변화, 열적 안정성, 증착량에 따른 Au 4f 전자 결합에너지의 변화를 오제 전자분광법, 열탈착 분광법, 이온 산란 분광법, X-선 광전자 분광법을 이용하여 연구하였다. Au는 $TiO_2(001)/Mo(100)$ 박막에 3차원적인 성장을 하며 낮은 온도에서 성장된 Au 클러스터는 높은 온도에서 성장된 것보다 보다 그 크기가 작고 온도가 높아지면서 클러스터는 비가역적으로 뭉친다. $TiO_2(100)/Mo(100)$에 증착된 Au의 열탈착은 1000 K부터 일어나며, 증착된 Au의 증착량이 많아질수록 더 높은 온도에서 나타난다. 선도 언저리 해석법으로 얻은 Au 클러스터의 탈착에너지는 약 50 kcal/mol이다. Au의 $TiO_2$ 박막에 대한 초기 흡착상수는 기판의 온도 200-600 K 사이에서는 거의 일정하였다. 400 K에서 $TiO_2$ 박막에 2.0 MLE 보다 적은 양의 Au가 증착된 경우에는 Au 4f의 전자 결합에너지가 벌크 Au에 비해서 증가한다. 0.1 MLE의 경우에는 그 결합에너지가 벌크 Au에 비해서 +0.30 eV 이동하였다.

The purpose of this study was to investigate effects of lignocellulosic fillers made of wood powder and inorganic fillers, such as GCC and PCC, on physical properties of papers. Mechanical treatment and chemical treatment were carried out subsequently for generating lignocellulosic fillers, and then inorganic filler and wood powder were mixed together, and then mechanically treated for making lignocellulosic fillers covered with inorganic fillers. Consequently the particle size of lignocellulosic fillers was higher than that of inorganic fillers, which led to lumen loading and simultaneously surface coverage of fine inorganic fillers. Lignocellulosic fillers contributed to the increase of both bulk and opacity of handsheets dramatically, but some of properties including tensile strength, brightness and roughness decreased compared to inorganic fillers.

Despite extensive theoretical and experimental studies the structure of the protein-solvent interface is subject of many controversy. Understanding the processes that occur in aqueous solution requires understanding of the solvent influence on the structure of protein. The aim of this study is to investigate the applicability of NIR methods in the study of hydration phenomena in protein solutions. Temperature-induced changes in NIR spectra of -lactoglobulin (BLG) in aqueous solutions have been investigated by means of two-dimensional correlation spectroscopy (2DCOS) and principal component analysis (PCA). With the temperature increase the balance of forces between the BLG's interaction with itself and the BLGs interaction with its environment is disrupted leading to BLG unfolding. Significant differences of 2D signals and distinct discrepancies of loading on PC1 and PC2 were observed as a result of temperature increase. In the native folded conformation of BLC, most of the nonpolar amino acids are hidden in the centre of the structure, out of contact with water molecules, while charged groups are outside, in the contact with water. The polar groups promote low density Ih-type structure in the water outside this first hydration shell. When BLG unfolds it assumes a more extended configuration on which the previously buried nonpolar groups are exposed to water and promote the higher density II-type structure outside its first shell. Detailed assignments of bands attributed to the bulk water, different states of the hydrated water and the changed conformation of BLG are proposed.

A feasibility of a pilot scale two-phase anaerobic digestion with ultra filtration system treating garbage leachate were evaluated. The treatment system consisted of a thermophilic acidogenic reactor, a mesophilic methanogenic reactor, and an UF membrane. The average COD removal efficiency of the treatment system was 95% up to the OLR of 3.1 g COD/L/d. The higher COD removal efficiency with membrane unit resulted from the removal of some portion of soluble organics by membrane as well as particulate materials. When the membrane unit was in operation, bulk liquid in acidogenic and methanogenic reactors was partially interchanged, which maintained the acidogenic reactor pH over 5.0 without external chemical addition. Also, with the production of methane in the acidogenic reactor, the organic loading rate of the methanogenic reactor reduced. The initial flux of the membrane unit was $50{\sim}60L/m^2/hr$, but decreased to $5 L/m^2/hr$ after 95 days of operation due to clogging caused by particulate materials such as fibrous materials in garbage leachate. To prevent clogging caused by particulate materials, a pretreatment system such as screening is required. With the improvement with membrane unit operation, the two-phase anaerobic digestion with ultra filtration system is expected to have the possibility of treating garbage leachate.

화력발전소로부터 발생된 석탄 바닥재(coal bottom ash)에 융제로 $Na_{2}O$ 및 $Li_{2}O$를, 핵 형성제로 $TiO_2$를 첨가하여 결정화유리를 제조한 뒤 그 미세구조를 분석하였다. 시편내 주결정상은 nepheline이었고, $TiO_2$가 첨가됨에 따라 nepheline 결정상 분율이 증가되었다. $TiO_2$가 첨가되지 않은 시편은 표면 결정화 기구에 수지(dendrite) 형태의 결정상이 성장되었으며, 내부 모상에는 결정이 거의 생성되지 않았다. 그러나 $TiO_2$ 첨가량이 4% 이상으로 증가되면, 표면결정화 기구는 억제되어 표면결정층의 두께가 얇아졌고 내부 모상은 결정질로 전이되었으며 동시에 $1{\mu}m$ 이하 크기의 미립자도 함께 생성되었다. 특히 6%의 $TiO_2$가 첨가된 결정화유리 내부에는 길이가 $5{\mu}m$인 수지상 결정들이 서로 얽혀진 형태를 보였으며, 이러한 미세구조는 외부로부터 하중을 가해졌을 때 발생되는 균열의 전파를 효과적으로 억제할 수 있을 것으로 예상된다.

폴리머/세라믹 복합체는 유기기판용 내장형 커패시터의 가장 유망한 재료다. 폴리머/세라믹 복합체의 유효유전상수를 예측하는 것은 복합재료의 설계에 있어 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 크기가 다른 5가지 $BaTiO_3$ 분말을 이용하여 분말함량에 따른 에폭시/$BaTiO_3$ 복합 내장형 커패시터 필름의 유전상수를 측정하였다. 그 측정 결과를 여러 가지 이론식들에 최소 자승법을 이용해 fitting하여 폴리머/세라믹 복합체의 유효유전상수를 예측하는데 가장 유용한 식을 찾고 BaTiO$_3$ 분말의 유전상수를 추정하고자 하였다. Lichtenecker식과 Jayasundere-Smith식이 에폭시/$BaTiO_3$ 복합 내장형 커패시터 필름의 유전상수 예측에 유용한 것으로 나타났다. 피팅을 통해 계산된 $BaTiO_3$ 분말의 유전상수는 분말의 크기에 따라 100 에서 600 사이였는데 이는 다결정 세라믹 $BaTiO_3$의 유전상수보다 작은 값이다.
