소수성 폴리프로필렌 섬유의 표면을 상압 플라즈마 공정을 이용하여 표면처리하였다. 친수성으로 개질된 섬유를 수용성 폴리비닐프롤리돈 (poly(N-vinylpyrrolidone, PVP) 코팅액에 딥코팅하여 PVP 막을 형성하였다. 섬유 표면에 코팅된 PVP 막은 15 kGy 선량의 전자 빔 조사를 통해 가교되어, 폴리프로필렌 섬유의 표면이 PVP 하이드로젤로 균일하게 코팅된 것을 확인하였다. PVP 하이드로젤 코팅막의 두께는 코팅액의 농도를 조절하여 제어할 수 있었다. 단계적인 표면처리, PVP 코팅, 그리고 하이드로젤 막의 형성에 따른 특성은 접촉각, 전자현미경, 광학현미경 등을 통해 분석되었다.

본 연구에서는 PCBs 함유 폐기물의 분해 전후의 처리효율을 검토하고 반응 부산물을 확인하고자 물리화학적 처리기술을 적용한 전자빔과 탈염소화 처리 전후의 시료를 분석하였다. 전자빔으로 물리적 처리를 한 시료는 절연유 중의 PCBs 피크패턴을 유지하고 있지 않아 폐기물공정시험방법으로 정량하기 어려워 HRGC/HRMS을 이용하여 정량한 결과, PCBs의 제품이 가지고 있는 피크패턴이 분해되어 저염화물인 3-chlorobiphenyls이 생성되는 것으로 확인 되었다. 또한, 탈염소화 분해로 화학적 처리한 경우에도 PCBs 농도는 폐기물관리법 및 잔류성유기물질 관리법의 규제기준 이하로 POPs 관리법의 처리 종료 기준을 만족하는 것으로 나타났으며, PCBs 함유 폐기물을 물리화학적으로 처리하는 과정 중 분석 대상 모든 시료에서 다이옥신류가 불검출되어 다이옥신은 생성되지 않는 것으로 나타났다.

Carbon fibers are prepared by stabilizing pitch fibers accompanying electron beam (E-beam) irradiation. The carbon fibers pretreated by E-beam irradiation achieve a higher stabilization index than the carbon fibers that are only heat-stabilized. In addition, the carbon fibers subjected to E-beam irradiation in the stabilization step exhibit a comparable tensile strength to that of general purpose carbon fibers. The carbon fibers pretreated with an absorbed dose of 3000 kGy have a tensile strength of 0.54 GPa for a similar fiber diameter. Elemental, Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, and thermogravimetric analyses indicate that E-beam irradiation is an efficient oxidation and dehydrogenation treatment for pitch fibers by showing that the intensity of the aliphatic C-H stretching and aromatic $CH_2$ bending (out-of-plane) bands significantly decrease and carbonyl and carboxylic groups form.

A study on the electron beam(E-Beam) decompositions of volatile organic compounds(VOCs) under background gases(helium, nitrogen, oxygen, air) has been carried out. Hexane selected as aliphatic VOCs was irradiated with electron beam using a batch reactor in the dose range of $0{\sim}10kGy$ and at ambient temperature. The concentrations of Hexane were 140 ppmC, 300 ppmC and 600 ppmC, respectively. Irradiation treatment efficiency of Hexane was evaluated by the GC/FID, GC/MSD, and the by-products were analyzed by $CO/CO_2\;and\;O_3$ analyzers. In different concentration, the maximum degrees of Hexane decomposition at 10 kGy were 96.4%(140 ppmC), 88.3%(300 ppmC), and 49.9%(600 ppmC). It was found that the decomposition efficiency of Hexane was higher than that of toluene at the same conditions(140 ppmC). In addition, the formation of acetone, benzene, 2-hexanone, and 3-hexanone were observed after the treatment of Hexane.

We studied change in water contact angle on $TiO_2$ surfaces upon high-energy electron-beam treatment. Depending on conditions of e-beam exposures, surface OH-content could be increased or decreased. In contrast, water contact angle continuously decreased with increasing e-beam exposure and energy, i.e. change in the water contact angle cannot be rationalized in terms of the overall change in the surfacestructure of carbon-contaminated $TiO_2$. In the C 1s spectra, we found that the C-O and C=O contents gradually increased with increasing e-beam energy, suggesting that the change in the surface structure of carbon layers can be important for understanding of the wettability change. Our results imply that the degree of oxidation of carbon impurity layers on oxide surfaces should be considered, in order to fully understand the change in the oxide surface wettability.

We are often faced with the clinical situations that is inevitably extended SSD for electron beam therapy due to anatomical restriction or applicator structure. But there are some difficulties in accurately predicting output and properties. In electron beam treatment , unlike photon beam the decrease in output for extended SSD does not follow inverse-square law accurately because of a loss of side scatter equilibrium, which is particularly significant for small cone size and low energies. The purpose of our study is to analyze the output in changing with the energy, cone size, air gap beyond the standard SSD and to compare inverse-square law factor derived from calculated effective SSD, mominal SSD with measured output factor. In addition, we have analyzed the change of PDD for several cones with different SSDs which range from 100cm to 120cm with 5cm step and with different energies(6MeV, 9MeV, 12MeV, 16MeV, 20MeV). In accordance with our study, an extended SSD produces a significant change in beam output, negligible change in depth dose which range from 100cm to 120cm SSDs. In order to deliver the more accurate dose to the neoplastic tissue, first of all we recommend inverse-square law using the table of effective SSDs with cone sizes and energies respectively or simply to create a table of extended SSD air gap correction factor. The second we need to have an insight into some change of dose distribution including PPD, penumbra caused by extended SSD for electron beam therapy.

To evaluate the effect of irradiation on restructured pork jerky containing paprika and Japanese apricot extracts, the quality of protein was determined in vitro based on the formation of trypsin indigestible substrate inhibitor (TIS) and the computed protein efficiency ratio (C-PER) as determined based on the protein digestibility and amino acid analysis. In addition, we compared the effects of electron beam irradiation to those of gamma irradiation. Approximately 3% of the moisture content of pork jerky was reduced in response to irradiation with 3kGy administered using an electron beam however, no additional reduction was observed in samples that were subjected to higher doses of irradiation. In addition, there were no notable differences in the crude protein and fat content of pork jerky samples that were subjected to irradiation, regardless of dose. Furthermore, the total amino acids profiles did not change in response to electron beam irradiation. However, the in vitro protein digestibility increased by 7% in response to 3kGy of electron beam irradiation and 5kGy of gamma irradiation, but no significant changes in digestibility were not observed in response to treatment with higher doses. TIS quantified as trypsin inhibitors were formed in response to irradiation using the electron beam (3kGy) and gamma rays (5kGy), although there was a slight reduction in the production of TIS inhibitors in samples irradiated with higher doses. Moreover, only samples irradiated with 10kGy (electron beam and gamma ray) showed higher TBA values than those of the control samples. Finally, the C-PERs $(2.50{\sim}2.60)$ were greater in all of the irradiated pork jerky samples than in the control samples (2.22). Taken together, these results suggest that electron beam irradiation and the incorporation of extracts (paprika and Japanese apricot) may be useful methods of improving the nutritional quality of pork jerky.

Background: Salmonella enteritidis (SE) was the main cause of the pandemic of foodborne salmonellosis. The surface of eggs' shells can be contaminated with this bacterium; however, washing them with sodium hypochlorite solution not only reduces their flavor but also heavily impacts the environment. An alternative to this is surface sterilization using low-energy electron beam. It is known that irradiation with 1 kGy resulted in a significant 3.9 log reduction (reduction factor of 10,000) in detectable SE on the shell. FAO/IAEA/WHO indicates irradiation of any food commodity up to an overall average dose of 10 kGy presents no toxicological hazard. On the other hand, the Food and Drug Administration has deemed a dose of up to 3 kGy is allowable for eggs. However, the maximum dose permitted to be absorbed by an edible part (i.e., internal dose) is 0.1 Gy in Japan and 0.5 Gy in European Union. Materials and Methods: The electron beam (EB) depth dose distribution in the eggshell was calculated by the Monte Carlo method. The internal dose was also estimated by Monte Carlo simulation and experimentation. Results and Discussion: The EB depth dose distribution for the eggshells indicated that acceleration voltages between 80 and 200 kV were optimal for eggshell sterilization. It was also found that acceleration voltages between 80 and 150 kV were suitable for reducing the internal dose to ≤ 0.10 Gy. Conclusion: The optimum irradiative conditions for sterilizing only eggshells with an EB were between 80 and 150 kV.

The objective of this study was to fabricate a novel hydrophobic stent for reducing restenosis by employing electron beam equipment. The stent was fabricated from a CoCr alloy tube by using a femtosecond laser and was treated with argon plasma. Subsequently, the stent's surface specification changed from hydrophilic to hydrophobic. Application of the electron beam offers several advantages such as a short processing time, whole surface reforming, and enhancement of material properties. As the surface of the stent was rendered hydrophobic, it can provide equivalent or enhanced mechanical properties and greater functionality with a higher radial force at the extended stent in a blood vessel. The obtained results corresponding to the mechanical properties indicate that the contact angle increased to approximately 130°, and the radial force increased to approximately 3 N. Furthermore, cell culture experiments were conducted for verifying whether cells were cultured on the surface-modified CoCr surface. Based on the obtained results, it is believed that an effective reduction in the restenosis of inserted vascular stents is possible.
