  • We have fabricated organic photovoltaic cells (OPVs) with highly conductive poly 3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene : poly styrenesulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) layer as an anode without using transparent conducting oxide (TCO), which has been modified by adding some organic solvents like sorbitol (So), dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), N-methyl-pyrrolidone (NMP), dimethylformamide (DMF), and ethylene glycol (EG). The conductivity of PEDOT:PSS film modified with each additive was enhanced by three orders of magnitude. According to atomic force microscopy (AFM) study, conductivity enhancement might be related to better connections between the conducting PEDOT chains. TCO-free solar cells with modified PEDOT:PSS layer and the active layer composed of poly(3-hexylthiophene) (P3HT) and phenyl [6,6] C61 butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) exhibited a comparable device performance to indium tin oxide (ITO) based organic solar cells. The power conversion efficiency (PCE) of the organic solar cells incorporating DMSO, So + DMSO and EG modified PEDOT:PSS layer reached 3.51, 3.64 and 3.77%, respectively, under illumination of AM 1.5 (100mW/$cm^2$).

  • The objective of this study is to examine an effective cryopreservation method and various vitrification containers on the survival vates of embroys. For the vitrification, in vitro produced embryos at blastocyst stage were exposed to ethylene glycol 5.5 M freezing solution (EG5.5) for 20 sec, loaded on containers such as grid, straw and paper and then immediately plunged into - 196$^{\circ}C$ L$N_2$. The blastocysts were thawed serially in 0.5, 0.25 and 0.125%; P < 0.05). Therefore, this study suggests that bovine embryos can be easily, effectively and successfully cryopreserved by grid, straw, and paper in the presence of freezing solution. Furthermore, vitrification using paper may be used as a no M sucrose in CR1aa, each for 1 min, and cultured in CR1 an medium supplemented with 10% FBS. After thawing, there were not significant differences in recovery rates of EM grid, straw and paper as 84.6, 88.3, and 93.7%, respectively (Table 1). However, survival rates of EM grid (78.1%) and paper (77.1%) showed significantly higher than straw (52. 1w method for bovine embryos.

  • This study was designed to simplify a cryopreservation program for embryonic stem cells (ESCs) by selection of cooling method and cryoprotectant. Commercially available mouse E14 embryonic stem cells (ESCs) were cryopreserved with various protocols, and morphology and viability of the frozen-thawed ESCs and their reactive oxygen species (ROS) production were subsequently monitored. Post-thaw colony-formation of ESCs was detected only after a slow freezing using dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO) by stepwise placement of a freezing container into a $-80^{\circ}C$ deep freezer and subsequently into -$196^{\circ}C$ liquid nitrogen, while no proliferation was detected after vitrification. When the simplified protocol was employed, the replacement of DMSO with a mixture of DMSO and ethylene glycol (EG) further improved the post-thaw survival. ROS generation in ESCs frozen-thawed with the optimized protocol was not increased compared with non-frozen ESCs. The use of fresh mouse embryonic fibroblasts as feeder cells for post-thaw subculture did not further increase post-thaw cell viability. In conclusion, a simplified slow-freezing program without employing programmable freezer but using DMSO and EG was developed which maintains cell viability and colony-forming activity of ESCs during post-thaw subculture.

  • 굴 미수정란의 동결보존에 적합한 동해방지제의 종류, 농도 및 침투 시간을 구명하기 위하여 4가지 동해방지제 (DMSO, EG, methanol, PEG) 를 대상으로 수정률, 부화율 및 형태 이상률을 조사하였다. 동해방지제의 농도 및 침지시간은 각각 5, 10, 15, 20%와 10, 20, 30, 40분이었다. 침지 후 미수정란은 정상 정자와 수정되었고, 수정률, 부화율 및 형태 이상률은 동해방지제의 종류와 농도 및 침지시간에 영향을 받았다. 동해방지제의 농도와 침지시간의 증가에 따라 수정률과 부화율은 낮아졌고, 대부분의 동해방지제에서 5-10% 농도와 10-20분의 짧은 침지시간에서 좋은 결과를 보였다. 수정률과 부화율을 근거로 굴 미수정란에 가장 적합한 동해방지제는 DMSO였으며, 처리 농도와 침지 시간은 각각 5%와 10-20분이었다.

  • Post-thawed larval rearing in Pacific oyster Crassostrea gigas was performed to investigate the survival rate with time course in three kinds of larvae cryopreserved. The highest survival rate and larval activity index (LAI) of post-thawed larvae were obtained from the permeation in 0.2 M sucrose and 2.0 M ethylene glycol (EG) at $-1^{\circ}C/min$ in freezing speed showing the survival rates just after thawing of 63.8% in trochophore, 84.1% in D-shaped veliger and 56.3% in early umbo veliger. In post-thawed larval rearing with food supply, the larvae lasted their lives until 24 hours in trochophore, 75 hours in D-shaped veliger and 57 hours in early umbo veliger. The results suggested that each larval stage post-thawed revealed no more further development to subsequent respective stage.

  • We investigated the relationship between viability and IGF-1 receptor (IGF-1R) activity in D-shaped and umbo larvae of the surf clam Spisula sachalinensis after treatment with vitrification solution (VS) or freezing. In a toxicity assay, VS1, containing 5 M dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), was very harmful to D-shaped and umbo larvae. However, VS2, containing 5 M ethylene glycol (EG), was not harmful to either larval stage. Although VS2 had a promising toxicity test outcome, none of the larvae survived vitrification. After immersion into VSs and freezing, IGF-1R ${\beta}$-subunits were detected in all larvae; however, tyrosine phosphorylation of intracellular ${\beta}$-subunits was detected only in the control and live groups. These results suggest that activation of IGF-1R may influence surf clam larvae viability.

  • We have designed an extractive distillation for separating maximum boiling azeotrope of acetone-chloroform system. PRO/II 9.4 was used to simulate the overall process. The VLE data adopted from Dortmund data bank was regressed to obtain a new set of binary interaction parameters. Three different entrainers were used for the separation process--dimethyl sulfoxide (DMSO), ethylene glycol (EG) and benzene--to test their viability for the acetone-chloroform system. Thermodynamic feasibility analysis was done through ternary map diagrams. Two different thermodynamic models, NRTL and UNIQUAC, were explored for the study of overall process.

  • In this study, the polyurethane microcapsules for non-aqueous dyeing containing iron oxide and disperse dyes were prepared by in-situ polymerization method using hexamethylene diisocyanate(HDI) with ethylene glycol(EG). And the size, shape, and particle size distribution of microcapsules prepared were investigated. The size and shape of microcapsule were observed by optical microscope and scanning elecron microscope. The particle size distribution was analyzed by particle size analyzer. The microcapsule size and its distribution were largely effected by the existance of surface active agent in the system. When a surfactant did not exist in the system, the size distribution of microcapsules prepared was much uneven. By adding a surfactant, this phenomenon was disappeared. And the size of microcapsule was also effeced by the hydrophobicity of core material(disperse dye). It was considered due to the difference of dispersity of core materials. And the size of microcapsule prepared was inversely proportional to the stirring speed.

  • Supercooled type ice storage system with aqueous solution (or water) may have trouble with non-uniform release of supercooling even though it contributes to the simplicity of system and ecological improvement. The non-uniform release increases the instability of the system because it may cause an ice blockage in pipe or cooling part. In order to suppress the release of the supercooling, a cooling experiment was tried to an ethylene glycol(EG) 3 mass% solution corresponding with pressurization. Also, the frequency ratio of the release of the supercooling was measured to the pressurization from 101 to 505 kPa. At results, the frequency ratio of supercooling release tends to decrease as the pressure of the aqueous solution increased in each cooling rate. Moreover, it tends to decrease as the cooling rate of the solution decreased in each pressure.
