Ultrasound-assisted melt mixing was applied to blending polystyrene (PS) and low density polyethylene(LDPE). The influence of the ultrasonic irradiation on the morphology and mechanical properties of the blends was investigated. It was observed that the domain sizes of the blend were significantly reduced and phase stability was well sustained even after a thermal treatment. Such morphological feature was consistent with the improvements in mechanical performance of the blends. The desirable results of ultrasonic compatibilization are mainly attributed to the in-situ formation of PS-LDPE copolymers as confirmed by a proper separation experiment. An important relationship between ultrasonic irradiation time and mechanical properties is revealed and an issue on the thermal stability of the blend is discussed.

Variable iron loss as function of current phase angle of Interior Permanent Magnet Synchronous Motor(IPMSM) was calculated through Curve Fitting Method(CFM). Also, a magnetic flux density distribution of iron core according to current phase angle was analyzed, and an iron loss calculation was performed including harmonic distortion. The experiment was performed by production of non-magnetizing model for the separation of mechanical loss, and the iron loss was calculated by the measurement of input using power analyzer and output power using dynamometer. Some error was generated between experimental results and calculation value, but an iron loss diminution according to current phase angle followed a same pattern. So, errors were generated by measurement, vibration, noise, harmonic distortion loss, etc.

On day 2 after treatment of Lewis rat with 25mg of hydrocortisone, the cell number in the thymus was reduced to less than 10% of the matched control. By day 12 after hydrocortisone treatment the thymic cell population was recovered almost its original value and on day 24 after treatment the number of thymocytes was equivalent to that of normal thymocytes. The density distribution profile of hydrocortisone treated rats as compared with normal rats showed a marked decrease in the denser fraction D while the lighter fractions. (A plus B, and C) showed a considerable proportional increase. The proportion of dead cells in thymus suspension from hydrocortisone treated rats was higher than that from their normal counterparts. On separation, the dead cells accumulated selectively in the pellet and A fraction. The response of the thymocytes from hydrocortisone treated rats to PHA was increased compared to that from normal rats. Among the subpopulations, D fraction, which was relatively unresponsive in normal rats, showed a marked increase in PHA response and C fraction showed some increase in the response.

Microspheres are expected to be applied to biomedical areas such as solid-phase immunoassays, drug delivery systems, Immunomagnetic cell separation. To synthesize micro-spheres for biomedical application, "two stage shot growth method" was developed. The uniformity ratio or synthesized microspheres was always smatter than 1.05. And the surface charge density (or the number of ionizable functional groups) of the microspheres synthesized by "two stage shot growth method" was 6-13 times higher than thats of the ml crospheres synthesized by conventional seeded batch copolymerization. As a previous step for biomedical application, adsorption experiments of bovine albumin on microspheres were carried out under various conditions. The maximum adsorbed amount was obtained in the neighborhood of pH 4.5. Isoelectric point of bovine albumin Is pH 5.0, so experimental result shows that it shifted to acid area. The adsorption Isotherm was obtained, the plateau region was always reached at 2.Og/L (bulk concentration of bovine albumin ) . The effect of the kind and the amount of surface functional group was also examined.p was also examined.

In the ferromagnetic phase with electrons for La$_{1-x}$(Ca or Sr)$_x$MnO$_3$, films, a remnant resistivity of the order of 10$^{-8}$ ${\omega}$m is observed up to 100 K and increases exponentially with temperature up to T$_c$ and above one Tesla as a function of magnetic field strength (a positive magnetoresistivity). The phase below T$_c$ is regarded as a polaronic state with a polaronic tunneling conduction. Possible p-wave condensation (or superconductor) with a parabolic density of states and the phase separation are discussed on the basis of the two-fold degeneracy of ${\varrho}_{\delta}$ orbitals.

In this study, a hydrocyclone operated by centrifugal force was examined as a part of dredge system of lake sediments. It does not help dehydration of the sediments, but also enables the classification of fine particles in the stable and sanitary treatment. Several experiments were performed focusing on the separation efficiency under the condition of room temperature with virtual sediment samples and simulated particles. As a result of the experiment, it was found that the apex size of the cyclone greatly affected the cut diameter(d$_{50}$), and high density particles were separated more effectively.y.

Liquid-liquid phase separation due to the very different density and composition occurs when the hypermonotectic alloys are solidified on the ground. Besides this, other factors such as preferential wetting and coalescence make it difficult to get uniform microstructures during the directional solidification of hypermonotectic alloys. Therefore a few novel solidification methods to get rid of such a nonuniformity have been reviewed and the recent experimental work using ultrasonic energy in conjunction with directional solidification has been presented. The uniformly solidified structures have been obtained when the ultrasonic of 20kHz applied to transparent organic system, Succinonitrile-Glycerol, varying ultrasonic amplitude and composition etc.

A dynamic density functional theory is presented for the observation of the phase revolutions of a solution-casting film of di- and tri-block copolymers under solvent evaporation conditions. With the evaporation of the solvent, the inverted phases, the minor part of the component becomes the continuous phase at the higher solvent evaporation rate, as observed in this experiment. Further simulation revealed that these inverted phases are converted into the normal phase and the major part of the component becomes the continuous phase, implying that the inverted phases observed in this experiment are unstable.

In this study, the applications of the block copolymer thin films are introduced. For this purpose, we first obtained cylindrical nanodomains in polystyrene-block-poly(methyl methacrylate) copolymer perpendicularly oriented to a substrate. Then, nanoporous templates were prepared after removing the PMMA nanodomains by UV treatment. By using electropolymerization, high density nanowire arrays of conducting polymer of poly(pyrrole) and poly( 3-hexyl thiopene) were obtained and their electric properties were measured. Also, these nanoporous thin films were found to be very useful for the separation of human Rhinovirus type 14 (HRV 14), major pathogen of a common cold in humans, from the buffer solution.
