Three immobilization techniques and free cell system were tested to determine the most effective technique for the treatment of pulp waste effluent. The tests were conducted using Phanerochaete chrysosporium as a biocatalyst in a process designed to treat pulp waste effluent. The results show that Ca-alginate gel was the best immobilization material. The chosen material improved the stability and increased the removal efficiency of the system. The experiment using the chosen material was mom- bored for 400 hours with no significant changes in the state of the fungus. Common problems with other immobilization materials and free cell system were oxygen transfer resistance caused by air channelling and clogging in the bioreactor.

CS HSA, 1034A와 TMOS, MTMS 실란 간의 졸겔 반응조건이 코팅도막의 특성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 CS 종류, CS 대비 TMOS/MTMS의 함량비, 반응시간 등을 달리하여 졸을 합성하고, 합성된 졸을 slide glass에 코팅한 후 $300^{\circ}C$에서 경화시킨 도막의 특성들을 조사하였다. CS 대비 MTMS의 함량 증가와 더불어 접촉각이 증가할 것으로 예상되지만 CS의 종류, 실란함량, 반응시간 등에 따라 증가하는 모양은 상당히 차이가 있었고 HSA CS계 보다는 1034A CS계로 제작된 도막에서 MTMS 함량과 접촉각과의 상관성이 다소 우수하였다. 표면거칠기는 HSA CS계인 경우에 반응시간과 MTMS 함량에 따라 민감하게 변했지만 1034A CS계에서는 HSA계의 졸에 비해 표면 거칠기가 향상되어 반응시간과 MTMS 함량의 조건에 영향을 받지 않고 표면조도와 균질성이 우수하였다.

Layered silicate was synthesized at hydrothermal condition from silica adding to various materials. Nano-clay was synthesized by intercaltion of various amine compounds into synthetic layered silicate. The products were analysed by XRD, SEM, and FT-IR in order to examine the condition of synthesis and intercalation. From the results, it was confirmed that kaolinite was synthesized from precipitated silica and gibbsite at $220^{\circ}C$ during 10 days, and hetorite was synthesized from silica sol at $100^{\circ}C$ during 48 h. Na-Magadiite was synthesized from silica gel at $150^{\circ}C$ during 72 h, and Na-kenyaite was synthesized from silica gel at $160^{\circ}C$ during 84 h. Nano-clay was prepared using synthetic layered silicate intercalated with various amine compounds. Kenyaite was easily intercalated by various organic compounds, and has the highest basal-spacing value among other layered silicates. Basal-spacing was changed according to the length of alkyl chain of amine comopounds. Polymer can be easily intercalated by dispersion with large space of interlayer. Finally, epoxy/nano-clay nanocomposite can be easily prepared.

Poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) is one of the most widely used materials in textile industry. It can have a low cost, silk-like handle, and excellent mechanical properties. Low thermal stability of PET had been a common problem limiting its high temperature application. The polyester have been known to have the disadvantage of degradation under ionized irradiation compared to crosslikable polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polystylene. To improve thermal stability of PET, the PET films were photocrosslinked by UV irradiation. A hydrogen-abstractable photoinitiator was used to photocrosslink of PET by continuous UV irradiation. Photoinitiator addition increased the gel fraction. The photocrosslinking was attributed to the recombination of PET radicals generated upon UV irradiation, which was enhanced by the hydrogen abstraction of the PET polymer chains by the added photoinitiator. Also the crosslinked PET showed higher thermal stability and mechanical strength with increasing UV energy. Polyester type films such as poly(ethylene naphthalate)(PEN) and poly(butylene terephthalte)(PBT) were also increased the gel fraction and improved thermal stability and mechanical properties by UV irradiation.

CS와 실란의 반응시 생성된 실란올들이 동종간의 반응에 비하여 실리카 표면과의 반응이 진행되는 효과에 따라서, 그리고 실란들의 종류에 따라 경화밀도와 재료특성이 상당히 달라지게 된다. 본 논문에서는 CS/MTMS 졸반응에서 CS의 종류, CS/MTMS의 함량비, 졸의 반응시간 등을 인자로 하여 졸들을 합성하고 겔화된 도막의 물성들을 조사하였다. 그 결과 MTMS의 함량과 비례하여 친수성은 증가하고 표면조도는 나아지는 것을 알 수 있었고 반응시간에 비례하여 친수성은 감소하고 표면조도는 안 좋아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 그리고 내열성은 MTMS의 함량이 적을수록 좋은 결과를 나타내었다.

There are 17,427 reservoirs in Korea, of which about 96% were built before the mid 1980s. Therefore, aging is severe and reinforcement are necessary. In addition, aged reservoirs, which are more than 50 years old, account for 70% of the total. Therefore, there is a problem such as the collapse of the reservoir and the decrease of the storage capacity due to progress of aging with time. The grouting method using cement is mainly used as maintenance and reinforcement method of old reservoir. However, the grouting method using cement has engineering and environmental problems. In order to solve the engineering and environmental problems of cement grouting method, an eco-friendly grouting material was developed that mixes circular resource grouting binder, high molar ratio sodium silicate and colloidal silica. The engineering and environmental properties of the developed injection materials were evaluated by conducting gel time, homo-gel strength, sea water resistance test and environmental stability evaluation. Also, examined the possibility of replacing OPC existing aged reservoir reinforcement methods. As a result, it was found out that it was better than the conventional cement method in terms of engineering and environment. However, since this study is the result of laboratory test, it is necessary of verify the application at field of aged reservoir.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to compare the antigenic potency and stability of tetanus and diphtheria (Td) vaccines when combined with aluminum phosphate (AlPO₄) and liposome adjuvants. Materials and Methods: In vitro and in vivo analyses were conducted using the single radial immunodiffusion method and sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. The Td vaccines were prepared with AlPO₄ adsorption and liposome-mediated delivery, and protein antigens were characterized using these methods. Results: The results revealed that the liposome-mediated Td vaccines exhibited higher immunogenicity compared to the AlPO₄-adsorbed Td vaccines. Additionally, the liposome-mediated Td vaccines demonstrated higher stability as native antigens. Conclusion: This study highlights the importance of utilizing liposome adjuvants in vaccine development. The liposome-mediated Td vaccines showed enhanced immunogenicity and stability, making them a promising approach for improving vaccine efficacy. Understanding and optimizing adjuvant strategies can contribute to the development of effective vaccines against various diseases.

Objectives: Previous in vitro studies determined the whitening effects of bleaching products on stained resin composite surfaces. This in vitro study aimed to verify the effectiveness of a whitening system on composite resin previously subjected to pigmentation, specifically examining the depth of whitening effectiveness within the material structure. Materials and Methods: A commercially available nano-filled composite resin was used. Specimens were stained using a coffee-based solution and a 10% carbamide peroxide-based gel was employed as the whitening agent. The pigment's penetration and the effect of the bleaching gel were evaluated by measuring color (CieLab values) from the outer edge to the inner part of the specimens. Color measurements were taken at 14 points, starting from 0.1 mm from the external perimeter up to 3.0 mm. Results: Analysis of variance tests showed a statistically significant difference between the Control Group (CG), Pigmentation Group, and Whitening Group. The whitening agent was effective up to 1.5 mm in depth, with Whiteness index (W) values not statistically different from those of CG up to 0.5 mm in depth. Conclusions: Whitening agents on nano-filled resin composite previously pigmented appear effective in restoring the W to values similar to the original, particularly in the superficial layers of the sample.

Ti(i-OC3H7)와 Ba(OH)2.8H2Or 그리고 공통용매로서 2-Methoxy Ethanol을 이용하여 균일 용액을 제조하고, 이로부터 미세하고 조성비가 균일한 BaTiO3분말을 제조하였다. 이러한 졸-겔법으로 제조된 분말을 TG-DTA와 XRD 분석으로 결정화 및 상변화를 관찰하였다. 각 온도별로 하소된 분말에서 (111)쌍정의 생성여부를 TEM을 이용해 관찰한 결과, 합성된 BaTiO3 분말에서는 하소중(111)쌍정의 생성이 활발히 일어나지 않는 것으로 판단되었다. 특히(111) 쌍정판은 합성된 겔을 120$0^{\circ}C$에서 하소한 후 이를 140$0^{\circ}C$에서 소결한 경우에만 관찰할 수 있었다. 이러한 하소온도의 영향은 원료분말의 입자크기나 형상이 쌍정 생성에 큰 영향을 미침을 의미하는 것으로, 본 연구에서는 이를 근거하여 (111) 쌍정의 생성에 대해서 고찰하였다.

The cure kinetics of blends of epoxy (DGEBA:diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A)/anhydride (NMA:nadic methyl anhydride) resin with synthesized amino terminated polyetherimide (AT-PEI) were studied using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) and Dynamic Mechanical Analysizer(DMA) under isothermal condition to determine the reaction parameters and gel-vitrification behavior. The fracture toughness of AT-PEI 20phr/epoxy resin system was improved over 224% and 42.5% more than neat epoxy resin and commercial PEI/Epoxy Resin System.
