Tin dioxide (SnO$_2$) thin films have been prepared on Si wafer (100) by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD). SnO$_2$ thin films were prepared from mixtures of dibutyltin diacetate as a precursor, oxygen as an oxidant at 275, 325, 375, 425$^{\circ}C$, respectively. The microstructure of deposited films was characterized by X-ray diffraction and field emission scanning electron microscopy. Structural characteristics of prepared SnO$_2$ thin films were investigated with different substrate temperature. The deposition rate was linearly increased with substrate temperature. Surface morphology and uniformity of prepared thin film was excellent at 375$^{\circ}C$ and grain size was averagely 25nm.

The catalytic effects of carboxylic acid and dibutyltin dilaurate(DBTL) on the curing rate of acrylic polyol with isocyanate prepolymer were investigated. In this work reaction of a biuret type aliphatic isocyanate with acrylic polyol follows the second order reaction in the thin film state. Carboxylic acid of acrylic polyol has a strong catalytic effect on the isocyanate groups and influences greatly on curing rate, also DBTL is more effective catalysis on acrylic polyol without carboxylic acid than with carboxylic acid.

Objectives : We examined the effect of Jengjengamiyjin-tang, a traditional herbal formula, on the experimental pancreatitis induced by Dibutyltin Dichloride(DBTC). Methods : 15 mice were divided into 3 groups; the normal group and the control group which were administered water only after pancreatitis elicitation and the test group which were administered Jengjengamiyjin-tang for 7 days after pancreatitis elicitation. Results : In the activities of amylase, lipase and alkaline phosphatase in serum, the test group showed significant decrease compared with the control group after 21 days. In the common morphology and histochemical study, various injuries by hemorrhagic erosion were observed in the control group, while they were significantly decreased in the test group. In the immunohistochemical study, the manifestation of COX-1, 2, HSP27, HSP70, MAC387, Ki-67 decreased significantly in the 14th day in the test group, however, they increased in the 21st day more than the control group(p<0.05). Conclusion : According to the above results, it is supposed that Jengjengamiyjin-tang has anti-inflammatory effect on the experimentally induced pancreatitis and may be applicable to pancreatitis especially in the acute stage.

A method is described for the determination of dibutyltin (DBT) in sediment by isotope dilution using liquid chromatography inductively-coupled plasma/mass spectrometry (LC-ICP/MS). To achieve the highest accuracy and precision, special attentions are paid in optimization and evaluation of overall processes of the analysis including extraction of analytes, characterization of the standards used for calibration and LC-ICP/MS conditions. An approach for characterization of natural abundance DBT standard has been developed by combining inductively-coupled plasma/optical emission spectrometry (ICP/OES) and LC-ICP/MS for the total Sn assay and the analysis of Sn species present as impurities, respectively. An excellent LC condition for separation of organotin species was found, which is suitable for simultaneous DBT and tributyltin (TBT) analysis as well as impurity analysis of DBT standards. Microwave extraction condition was also optimized for high efficiency while preventing species transformation. The present method determines the amount contents of DBT in sediments with expanded uncertainty of less than 5% and its result shows high degree of equivalence with reference values of an international inter-comparison and a certified reference material (CRM) within stated uncertainties.

Tin oxide$(SnO_2)$ thin films were prepared on glass substrate by Plasma Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition (PECVD) method. $SnO_2$ thin films were prepared using gas mixture of dibutyltin diacetate as a precursor and oxygen as an oxidant at 275, 325, 375, $425^{\circ}C$, respectively as a function of deposition temperature. The XRD peaks corresponded to those of polycrystalline $SnO_2$, which is in the tetragonal system with a rutil-type structure. As the deposition temperature increased, the texture plane of $SnO_2$ changed from (200) plane to denser (211) and (110) planes. Lower deposition temperature and shorter deposition time led to decreasing surface roughness and electrical resistivity of the formed thin films at $325\sim425^{\circ}C$. The properties of $SnO_2$ films were critically affected by deposition temperature and time.

Butyltin compounds in seawater, sediments and organisms inside Jeju Harbor of Jeju Island, Korea, were quantitatively determined to assess the extent of contamination and to evaluate the bioaccumulation in Thais clavigera (gastropod), Liolophura japonica and Cellana nigrolineata. In addition, imposex in T. clavigera was used to assess the sublethal effect of tributyltin compounds and its usage as a specific biomarker for these compounds was also studied. The main species in seawater was tributyltin (TBT) in March and June, monobutyltin (MBT) in August, but in sediments and organisms it was dibutyltin (DBT) and TBT, respectively, irrespective of survey time. TBT, the most toxic to aquatic organisms among BTs, was found at concentrations which were sufficient to have a serous effect on the sensitive organisms upon chronic exposure. The high correlations (r>0.7) between BTs indicated that DBT and MBT were mainly degraded from TBT based on antifouling paints and their sources were negligible. The sedimentary organic matters have little influence on the distribution of BTs in marine environment and the lipid content in T. clavigera showed a significant correlation with TBT concentrations. Measurement of imposex T. clavigera was expected to be a very helpful tool for preliminary survey of BTs prior to trace analysis of those.

A series of thermoplastic polyurethane copolymers were prepared from polypropyleneglycol(PPG, MW 3000), 1,4-butanediol, Isophorone diisocyanate(IPDI) and dibutyltin dilaurate(BBT) as catalyst. Studies have been made on the effects of molar ratio of isocyanate /polyol/chain extender on the properties such as tensile and thermal properties. By varying the ration of hard to soft segments, TPU ranging from soft elastomeric polymer to relatively hard elastoplastics and be obtained. The storage modulus and glass transition temperature of TPU increased with increasing the hard segment content.

Butyltin compounds (BTs) in seawater, sediments and organisms (Thais clavigera, Liolophura japonica and Cellana nigrolineata), were quantitatively determined to evaluate their distribution inside Songsan Harbor of Cheju Island. In addition, imposex in T. clavigera was used to assess the effect on organisms of BTs. Analysis of the samples collected in seawater, sediments (March, June and August) and organisms (May, July and August) in 1998, confirmed the contamination of BTs in the aquatic environment inside Songsan Harbor. The main BTs species in seawater and sediments was monobutyltin (MBT), tributyltin (TBT), respectively, irrespective of survey time. In oranisms, TBT and dibutyltin (DBT) were detected in similar concentrations for T. clavigera and L. japonica, but for C nigrolineata, DBt concentration was the highest. TBT, the most toxic to aquatic organisms among BTs, was found at concentrations which were sufficient to have a serious effect on the sensitive organisms upon chronic exposure, The relatively high correlations (r>0.83) between BTs indicated that DBT and MBT were mainly degraded from TBT based on antifouling paint and their sources were negligible. The sedimentary organic matters did not have influence on the distribution of BTs in marine environment, and lipid content in T. clavigera did not show a correlation with TBT concentrations. The rate of occurrence of imposex in T. clavigera was 100%, and the relative penis length index (RPLI) and the relative penis size index (RPSI) which represent the degree of imposex were 79.7%, 58.1%, respectively. Measurement of imposex in T. clavigera was expected to be a very helpful tool for preliminary survey of BTs prior to trace analysis of BTs.

Accumulation of tributyltin (TBT) in serum, liver and muscle of olive flounder (Paralichtys olivaceus) was investigated in a 60-d static renewal exposure at $0.1{\mu}g$ TBT/L. Tributyltin accumulated rapidly from 83 ng Sn/g to 2,227 ng Sn/g on a wet weight basis in the serum of the olive flounder and to a greater extent than in the other tissues. The accumulated TBT concentrations in tissues were in the order of serum>liver>muscle on wet or dry-weight basis. High concentrations of dibutyltin (DBT: 990 ng Sn/g dry wt) and monobutyltin (MBT: 141 ng Sn/g dry wt), degradation products of TBT were found in liver of olive flounder at the end of exposure. On the other hand, DBT and MBT was below the detection limits in muscle during the exposure, and only low concentration of DBT (56 ng Sn/g) were detectefd in serum. Butyltin compounds were also quantitatively determined in feral fine-spotted flounder (Pleuronichthys cornutus) collected from Gwangyang Bay as one of polluted area and Sori Island as a reference site. All three butyltin compounds were detected from the fine-spotted flounder from Gwangyang Bay up to 3,107 ng Sn/g of total butyltins in liver, while 120 ng Sn/g of total butyltin concentration was found in the liver of fish from Sori Island.

Reaction kinetics between 4,4'-dihexyl methane diisocyanate($H_{12}MDI$) and n-hexanol in toluene with dibutyltin dilaurate(DBTDL) as catalyst was studied by experimental measurements and mathematical modeling. Experiments were carried out at various temperatures, catalyst concentrations and [NCO]/[OH] ratios, and the reaction kinetics were described by two second-order reactions, the one between NCO and OH leading to urethane and the other between urethane and NCO leading to allophanate. The rate constants were estimated by the Runge-Kutta 4th-order method. Experiments and mathematical simulations showed a good agreement for various experimental conditions. The [allophanate]/[urethane] ratios at 90% conversion of initial NCO were estimated to be over 20% for most conditions employed in the present study, indicating that allophanate formation might significantly affect the properties of urethane polymers.
