In the present study, we intended to investigate whether cationic polyamines including poly-L-Iysine (PLL) and poly-L-arginine (PLA) induce cytotoxicities to cultured hamster tracheal surface epithelial (HTSE) cells. Confluent HTSE cells were chased for 30 min in the presence of PLL or PLA of different molecular weights. Possible cytotoxicities of PLL or PLA were assessed by measuring both Lactate Dehy- drogenase (LDH) release during treatment and the number of floating cells after treatment and by checking the possible changes on the morphology of HTSE cells during treatment. The results were as follows: in the case of treatment of PLL or rLA of which molecular weight is about 78,000 and 92,000, respectively, (1) there was significant release of LDH during treatment, (2) the number of floating cells were significantly increased after treatment and (3) there were significant changes on the morphology of cultured HTSE cells. However, in the case of PLL or PLA of which molecular weight is under 10,000 (about 9,600 and 8,900, respectively), no significant signs of cytotoxicities mentioned above were detected. We found that cationic polyamines might be non-toxic under specific range of molecular weights and suggest that the cytotoxicity of cationic polyamine might depend on the molecular sizes of each cationic polyamine.

The effects of pulp beating degree and bulky promotor concentration on the properties of handsheet including a bulk and strength have been investigated during manufacturing of low density paper (high bulk paper) with cationic fatty acid bulky promotor. It was found that paper bulk increased with increasing cationic fatty acid bulky agent concentration, while tensile strength decreased. On the other hand the opacity of handseets also increased with increasing cationic fatty acid bulky agent concentration, while brightness decreased slightly. With increasing pulp beating degree, paper bulk as well as tensile strength increased, while opacity decreased. Brightness did not show a significant difference with increasing pulp beating degree. The highest bulk and strength values were observed when 1.5% (SwBKP) and 2% (HwBKP) of bulky promotor was treated into the 450 mL CSF pulp slurry.

Four organic polymers were mixed with mothmorillonite. Two cationic polymers a hi로 molecular weight polyacrylamide (494C) and a low molecular weight polymer (587C).Two anionic polymers include a high molecular weight polymer (aerotil). Each clay supension series were allowed to stand for 24 hours and were centrifuged, and the clay plugs were washed and dried. The dried samples investigated by XRD, IR and CEC measurement. The suspended clay containing anionic polymers was not flocculated at any concentratuons of polymer. But the suspendions containing two cationic polymers were rapidly flocculated at almost all concentrations. the d(001) spacings of Na-montmorillonite after being with cationic polymer 587C show about 15$\AA$ suggesting the polymers may have entered the interlayer spaces. The polymer 494C-treated sample produced double peaks of about 12 and 15$\AA$ in XRD. It indicates that the high molecular weight polymer. And cationic polymer 494C may be adsorbed mainy on the outside surface of clay, and some polymers may peretrate into olny interlayers in the margin of montmorillonite particles because of its high molecular weught. CEC of polumer 587-treated sample was reduecd mmarkedly suggesting polymer blocks CEC sites. The d(001) spacings of Ca-montmorillonite after being treated with cationic polymers show about 15$\AA$ suggesting that the interlayer spaces have not been expanded. In the experiment using a dilute Ca-bearing solution, the suspended caly containinf anionic polymers was flocculated. The results indicate that the flocculation behavior of montmorillonite-polymer supension depends on not only polymer properties such as concentration, electric charge and molecular weight but also compositions of solvent.

The possibility of applying birchwood xylan in papermaking process to improve dry strength of paper was investigated. Unmodified xylan barely adsorbed onto pulp fibers while cationically modified xylan adsorbed substantially. Adsorption of cationically modified xylan by quaternarization with 3-chloro-2-hydroxypropy trimethylammonium chloride improved dry strength of paper. Chemical structure and degree of substitution of the cationically modified xylan was determined by 400 MHz 13CNMR spectroscopy and elemental analyzer. The amount of adsorbed xylan on cellulose fibers was greater when the cationicity was moderate, and it was interpreted that the conformation of this cationic xylan adsorbed on fiber surface was more favorable for greater adsorption due to its greater loop formation tendency while highly cationic xylan tends to adsorbed in stretched conformation. The physical properties of handsheets increased as the amount of adsorbed cationic xylan increased. On the other hands, the optical properties decreased with xylan adsorption.

Cationic rosin sizes are prepared by premixing extremely pure ployaluminum chloride (PAC) and dispersed rosin size (DRS). It turned out that zeta potential and particle size of the sizing agents took a big change by Plus90 analyzer's and FTIR analyzer's analysis. It turned out that -C=O and -COOH of the DRS have both chemical reaction with PAC to form the muti-hydroxyl aluminum rosin acid and that the cationic rosin sizes modified by PAC has dissymmetric and symmetric flexible vibration two absorbing peaks of the groups (its absorbing peaks $at1596cm^{-1}\;and\;1425cm^{-1}$). By DRS reacting with PAC, zeta potential of the resin size varied from negative to cationic. $Al_{2}O_{3}/rosin=1:0.3$, zeta potential of premixed admixture is tiptop28.8mv, When joined continuously PAC, zeta potential of cationic rosin sizes descend on the contrary.

In this study, the effects of cationic fatty acid bulky promotor on the properties of BCTMP (bleached chemithermomechnical pulp) handsheet including bulk and strength were elucidated. As results, it was observed that the bulk of BCTMP handsheet increased with the increases of the concentration of cationic fatty acid bulky agent, while mechanical properties such as tensile strength and burst strength decreased. The opacity of BCTMP handsheet also increased with the increases of the concentration of cationic fatty acid bulky agent, while brightness was almost not changed. The effectiveness of bulky agent with SwBCTMP (softwood) was higher than that with HwBCTMP (hardwood). Compared with previous research on the effect of bulky agent on BKP handsheet, the bulk increase of BCTMP handsheet was greater compared to that of BKP handsheet. However, the reduction of mechanical property in BCTMP handsheet was lower than that of BKP handsheet.

It is of great importance to decrease sheet break at the size press to enhance the runnability of today's high speed paper machines. To achieve this purpose it is required to control the penetration of the starch solutions at the size press. Use of ASA sizing system provides diverse advantages in improving machine runnability since it allows us to get rapid sizing development at the size press. Domestic paper industries, however, has not enjoyed these benefits of ASA sizing system mainly because of the poor efficiency of domestic corn starches used for ASA emulsification. To improve the emulsion stability and ASA sizing efficiency, it has been pointed out that new cationic starches are needed. In this study two methods of starch modifications, i.e. esterfication of cationic corn starch with OSA (Octenyl Succinic Anhydride), and acid hydrolysis by sulfuric acid were employed as methods to improve ASA sizing efficiency. The effect of these modification was compared with conventional cationic starches.

Cationic gemini-surfactant, namely 1,4-butane-bis(N-alkanoyloxyethyl-N,Ndimethyl)-diammonium bromide was synthesized and their inhibition effect on corrosion of mild steel in 1 M HCl solution was tested by weight loss method. The synthesized product was confirmed by FT-IR and $^1H-NMR$ spectroscopy. Surface tensions were measured by surface tensiometer Sigma 70. Their c.m.c. values evaluated by surface tension method was $4.1{\times}10^{-5}{\sim}5.4{\times}10^{-5}$ mol/L. The Krafft point of the these surfactants were <0~$10.7^{\circ}C$. The emulsifying properties of synthesized cationic gemini surfactants and sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS), tetradecyl trimethyl ammonium bromide (TTAB) was investigated. Of these, 1,4-butane-bis(N-lauroyloxyethyl-N,N-dimethyl)- diammonium bromide, CGL 14-4-14 has been confirmed as a good emulsifier. The inhibition efficiency increases by increasing cationic gemini surfactant concentration. As a result, these surfactants are expected to be applied as corrosion inhibitors.

Synthetic organic polyelectrolytes can be used to condition sludges to enhance their dewaterability. Intermittent aerobic digestion is an useful digestion technology and has many advantages like neutral pH, low installation cost and easiness to operation. The objectives of this study were to investigate the dewaterability of intemittent aerobic digestion sludge and to find the relationship between dewaterability and particle size distribution change under the conditioning of intermittent aerobic digestion sludge by cationic polyelectrolyte. Digested sludge from intermittent aerobic digestion was used and cationic polyacrylamide polymer was added as a conditioner. CST(capillary suction time), TTF(time-to-filtration) were tested as a dewaterability index and the number of particle distribution was analyzed using particle size analyzer. The results indicate that cationic polyelectrolytes is useful to enhance dewaterability of intermittent aerobic digestion sludge. Mean particle diameter was increased as polymer dosage increased and its value was reached up to 100 mm on the condition of optimal cationic polymer dosage. CST and TTF are well correlated with mean particle diameter when the weighting order is 1.7. By the optimal conditioning with cationic polymer, particles in the filtrate are also reduced significantly and this means that conditioning is helpful to main stream by reducing SS loading from return flow.
