Pressure sensitive adhesive (PSA) was prepared by semi-batch emulsion polymerization of acryl monomers in the presence of reactive and non-reactive carboxylated polyurethane resin (PUR). Effects of the PUR type, its content, and crosslinker feeding method on the adhesive properties of the PSA was investigated. In this experiment, the PSA prepared with the reactive PUR showed better adhesive property then the PSA with the non-reactive PUR. Especially, peel strength of the PSA, where acetoacetoxy ethyl methacrylate and 1,6-hexane diamine as crosslinkers were introduced, was dramatically enhanced in severe humidity condition due to the interfacial crosslinking.

In acid-catalyzed acetal cyclization of long aliphatic aldehydes($R=n-C_7H_{15}$ ; $n-C_9H_{19}$ ; $n-C_{11}H_{23}$) with 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)propane, 2-alkyl-5-hydroxymethyl-5-ethyl-1,3-dioxanes were obtained. The final products, sodium 2-alkyl-5-(sulfonatedpropylethermethyl)-5-ethyl-1,3-propanesultion in the presence of sodium hydride. These compounds were a new group of destructible surfactants which were readily hydrolyzed and oxidized in natural water reservoirs. Physical properties of these new compounds involved some surface properties such as Krafft point(Kp), critical micelle concentration(cmc), surface tension of aqueous solutions near cmc(${\gamma}_{min}$), foaming power, emulsion power and hydrolysis properties were determined. The destructible surfactants containing 1,3-dioxane ring were synthesized to about $85{\pm}5.5%$ yield. The cmc values of the compounds by ring method were assumed to $0.5{\sim}5.0{\times}10^{-3}mol/L$ range and surface tensions at cmc were $29.5{\sim}33.0dyne/cm$ respectively at $25^{\circ}C$. The foaming power and foam stability were $170{\sim}230mm$ and $52{\sim}135mm$ respectively at $1{\times}10^{-2}mol/L$, foam was occurred rarely below $1{\times}10^{-3}mol/L$. The emulsion property of liquid paraffin was better than that of soybean oil. For hydrolysis property with ph and time, these compounds were decomposed within about 200minutes at $ph1{\sim}2$. Hopefully these compounds are expected to be a good O/W emulsifier that have decomposability in acid and may be used in the process which do not need foaming.

Sodium polyacrylate (PAANa) was synthesized by inverse emulsion polymerization method to absorb excess water in concrete. Liquid paraffin was used as a continuous phase. Acrylic acid (AA) was neutralized by aqueous sodium hydroxide solution (8 M). Different amount of N,N'-methylene bisacrylamide (MBA) was used as a crosslinking agent to change crosslinking density of the synthesized PAANa. The size distribution of synthesized particles was measured by particle size analyzer. Swelling ratio of crosslinked PAANa was evaluated from the equation in D. I. water, cement aqueous solution, and $Ca(OH)_2$ aqueous solution. The FTIR spectroscopy was used to characterize $Ca^{2+}$ ion interaction with PAANa. Incorporation of 1.0 wt% PAANa into cement increased compressive and flexural strength approximately 30% and 10%, respectively, compared with those of ordinary portland cement.

Radiation grafting of acrylic acid and 4-vinylpyridine at room temperature has been studied by an impregnation method to improve the hygroscopic properties, the antistatic behavior and the dyeability of polyester fabric. Polyester fabric was impregnated with acrylic acid or aqueous emulsion of acrylic acid-4-vinylpyridine by immersion at 25$^{\circ}$or 7$0^{\circ}C$. The impregnated fabric was irradiated under nitrogen gas with ${\gamma}$-rays from Co-60. When acrylic acid grafted polyester fabric was treated with sodium carbonate, calcium acetate and potassium persulfate, tne rate of water absorption was increased and most parts of polyacrylic acid formed were extracted off from the fabric with 0.1% solution of sodium hydroxide at 10$0^{\circ}C$. In the case of the impregnation of a mixture of acrylic acid and 4-vinylpyridine the petcent of grafting has been shown to be proportional to the ratio of 4-VP/AA and radiation dost. Estimating by contact angle measurements of water on the various polymer surfaces, the antistatic behavior was decreased with the increase of grafting percent. The investigation of electron micrograph disclosed the existence of certain type of discontinuities in the acrylic acid grafted polyester fiber which was treated with various salts.

This study was undertaken to develop a stable self-microemulsifying drug delivery system (SMEDDS) for trans-cinnamaldehyde, a known antibacterial and antifungal agent. A simultaneous analytical method was established for quantification of trans-cinnamaldehyde and its degradant, cinnamic acid. Various surfactants were applied to assess their effect on the aqueous solubility of trans-cinnamaldehyde, and pseudo-ternary phase diagrams were plotted. Of the various formulations tested, the liquid SMEDDS composed of trans-cinnamaldehyde (oil), Cremophor EL (surfactant) and Transcutol P (cosurfactant) at a volume ratio of 10/70/20, produced the smallest emulsion droplet size (around 23 nm). The stability test determined the superior stability of the trans-cinnamaldehyde SMEDDS with constant trans-cinnamaldehyde content and z-average diameter of emulsion, under accelerated and heat stressed condition. Thus, we believe that this novel trans-cinnamaldehyde SMEDDS formulation has the potential to be applied for the development of trans-cinnamaldehyde medicines in the pharmaceutical industry.

Chitin, the natural polymer has been known as harmless and innoxious material to human and has been also known to be biodegradable. Chitosan which was prepared by the deacetylation of chitin, was propionylated to obtain porous bead shaped propionyl chitosan and its possibility as a water-absorbant polymer was investigated. Propionyl chitosan porous bead was synthesized by acylation reaction using emulsion method of acetic acid solution and propionyl chitosan was partially crosslinked using ethyleneglycol diglycidyl ether. Through the experiment varying the moles of propionic anhydride, reaction time and reaction temperature, best results for water-absorption ability was obtained at reaction condition of 5 moles of propionic anhydride, 10 hours of reaction time and $22^{\circ}C$ of reaction temperature. The absorption ability to the distilled water, various salt solutions, artificial urine and artificial blood, absorption time and retention of water of synthesized porous bead were investigated and also mechanical strength after crosslinking was determined.

To extract insoluble proteins from silkworm pupa meal, the meal was treated with pretense produced by Bacillus sp. JH-209. The extraction of insoluble silkworm pupa protein was enhanced at alkaline pHs ranged from 7 to 11 by treatment with the protease. The optimum extraction temperature was $40^{\circ}C$ for in soluble protein treated with pretense. The optimum protease treatment time for extraction of protein was 11 hrs and optimum amount of enzyme treated for extraction of protein was 60 Unit, respectively. The treatment of enzyme extracted more protein than ordinary extraction method without pretense. The foaming capacity, foaming stability, emulsion capacity, and emulsion stability of silkworm pupa meal protein extracted by the treatment of the enzymes increased at all pH ranges. Further more oil absorption as well as water absorption capacities of the protein extracted by the treatment of the enzymes were also increased.

Lithography like off-set printing is processed using the repellent properties between water and oil, so all inks for off-printing must work with dampening solution(water). The dampening water may cause the emulsification of ink by the printing pressure in the printing nip. This study aimed to investigate the effect of emulsified inks on print mottle. The cyan ink was emulsified artificially with the different IPA(isopropyl alcohol) content in this study. We evaluated the print mottle by densitometer and image analysis method. The print mottle phenomenon was directly affected by IPA content. The emulsification of inks also had an influence on flow properties of inks and it increased ink transfer rate. It, however, caused low ink density. Moreover the emulsified inks were spreaded to around dots and cause the thinning density on the non-printing area like print mottle. The trial printing showed that the emulsified inks also cause scumming on the printing result with little mistake of adjusting dampening solution and mostly decreasing dot reproduction. We could, therefore, find out the obvious effect of emulsified inks on print mottle.

In this study, we optimized a method of PEO-PPO-PEO block copolymer embedding, for solving non-specific protein and biomolecular adsorption and high hydrophobicic surface property, which is widely known as problems of poly (dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) that has frequently been used in basic biological and its applied research. We assessed its surface modification by controlling the concentration of embedded block copolymer, water-soaking time, and recovery time as variables by contact angle measurements. In order to evaluate its antifouling ability, adsorption of FITC-BSA molecules was quantified. Furthermore, we generated oil-in-water (O/W) emulsion as a proof-of-concept experiment to confirm that the optimized surface modification works properly.

Styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) is widely used in tire treads due to its excellent abrasion resistance, braking performance, and reasonable cost. Depending on the polymerization method, SBR is classified into solution-polymerized SBR (SSBR) and emulsion-polymerized SBR (ESBR). ESBR is less expensive and environmentally friendlier than SSBR because it uses water as a solvent. A higher molecular weight is also easier to obtain in ESBR, which has advantages in mechanical properties and tire performance. In ESBR polymerization, a surfactant is added to create an emulsion system with a hydrophobic monomer in the water phase. However, some amount of surfactant remains in the ESBR during coagulation, making the polymer chains in micelles clump together. As a result, it is well-known that residual surfactant adversely affects the physical properties of silica-filled ESBR compounds. However, researches about the effect of residual surfactant on the physical properties of ESBR are lacking. Therefore, in this study we compared the effects of remaining surfactant in ESBR on the mechanical properties of silica-filled and carbon black-filled compounds. The crosslinking density and filler-rubber interaction are also analyzed by using the Flory-Rehner theory and Kraus equation. In addition, the effects of surfactant on the mechanical properties and crosslinking density are compared with the effects of TDAE oil (a conventional processing aid).
