A biosurfactant produced by Tsukamurella sp. 26A was purified by procedures including acid precipitation, ethylacetate extraction, and adsorption chromatography. The purified biosurfactant reduced the surface tension of water from 72 mN/m to 30 mN/m at a concentration of 250 mg/l, whereas the minimum interfacial tension against n-hexadecane was lowered to 1.5 mN/m at a concentration of 40 mg/i. The compound stabilized oil-in-water emulsions with a variety of commercial oils and had strong emulsification and stabilization activities when compared to those of commercial emulsifiers and stabilizers. Surface tension was stable over a broad range of pH (2-12) and temperature ($100^{\circ}C$, 3h). The biosurfactant was identified as glycolipid having a hydrophilic moiety of trehalose.

The process variables for the manufacture of translucent microemulsion prepared with 2-octyl dodecanol, 12-hydroxy stearic acid cholesteryl , POE(40)HCO and 1,3-butandiol were examined initially (primary emulsion) and following aging for three months. The techniques empolyed in this study were particle size, turbidity, interfacial tension and microfluidizer. Particle size analysis and turbidity measurement to evaluate the emulsion stability were used. It was concluded that the process of the emulsification was an important indicator of the stability of the translucent microemulsion. From the particle size and and turbidity measurement of translucent microemulsion, adding the surfactant to the oil phase before the emulsification was found to be the most important factor for the stability of emulsions. We found that interfacial tension of the adding the surfactant to the oil phase is lower than that of the adding the surfactant to aqueous phase. In spite of hydrophilic surfactant, adding the surfactant to aqueous phase produced inferior emulsion to that to oil phase.

A superior electrophilic substitution reaction medium that is non-toxic, relatively less corrosive, and non-volatile electrophilic substitution reaction to afford high molecular weight linear and hyperbranched polyetherketones (PEK' s) was developed. The system has very strong driving force to give extra ordinary high molecular weight linear and hyperbranched PEK' s. The reaction medium was further extended to prepare various types of copolymers and covalently grafted polymers onto carbon nanotube (CNT) or carbon nanofiber (CNF). By using characteristic hydrophilic nature of the reaction medium, hyperbranched PEK' s could be synthesized from commercially available $A_3\;+\;B_2$ monomers without network formation via selective solubility of the monomers.

In this study, the functional hydrogel ophthalmic lens containing tungsten oxide nanoparticles, 2,4-dihydroxy benzophenone and 2-hydroxy-4-(methacryloyloxy) benzophenone were manufactured. HEMA (2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate), MMA (methyl methacrylate), AA(acrylic acid), the cross-linker EGDMA (ethylene glycol dimethacrylate), the initiator AIBN (azobisisobutyronitrile) and the functional additives including tungsten oxide nanoparticles, 2,4-dihydroxy benzophenone, and 2-hydroxy-4-(methacryloyloxy) benzophenone were used respectively. The measurements of water content and refractive index of the sample was decreased and increased, respectively. And also, the UV transmittance of produced lens containing 2,4-dihydroxy benzophenone, 2-hydroxy-4-(methacryloyloxy) benzophenone and tungsten oxide nanoparticles was measured. Based on the results of this study, it is judged that the performance improvement increased over time when 2-hydroxy-4-(methacryloyloxy) benzophenone was used as an additive, while the use of tungsten oxide nanoparticles influenced on blue-ray-blocking effect of the hydrophilic lens.

New hydrophobic alumina nanoparticles were synthesized from alumina powders which were hydrophilic nano-agglomerates with diameters from ${\mu}m$ to mm by surface modification. The synthesized hydrophobic alumina nanoparticles which were retreated with Oleic acid were analyzed by Fourier transform infrared spectrophotometer and transmission electron microscopy. Then transformer oil containing surface-modified alumina naonparticles were synthesized. The synthesized hydrophobic alumina nanoparticles were well-dispersed in transformer oil. The coefficient of viscosity and dielectric strength of the Nano-transformer oil were investigated with viscometer and high voltage experiment device. In this study, the thermal conductivity of Nano-transformer oil was investigated to reduce the oil temperature of transformer by transient hot-wire method.

The hardening system of polyurethanes has usually caused by air pollution. bad working condition and fire hazard according to using orgarnic solvents. Therefore there have been researched on emulsion, water soluble and colloid-dispersion based water soluble instead of using organic solvents recently. This study synthesized polyurethane dispersing particle by means of mixing precursor and neutralized emulsion method. In the first step, polyurethane was preparated from isophorone diisocyanate and poly (ethylene-adipate) glycol, and got precursor by introducing dimethyl propionic acid as a hydrophilic group. Synthesized polyurethane was bonded to the surface of fiber and crosslinked as a anti-static agent, and then looked for the change of color and softening property.

Physicochemical changes were determined for the boiled-dried anchovies packaged in a laminated film(nylon 15${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$/polyethylene 100${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$) and stored for one year at ambient and cooling(5~1$0^{\circ}C$) temperatures after gamma irradiation. Lipophilic and hydrophilic browning pigments increased with storage time particularly at ambient temperature, even though initial 5 kGy irradiation did not affect the formation of pigments significantly. This results were confirmed by the instrumental color determinations, Hunter color L, a, b and ΔE. With respect to changes in relative fatty acid compositions, storage period and temperature were more influential factors than gamma irradiation. Irradiation at 5 kGy induced insignificant changes in the total flavor profiles of stored anchovies, which were mainly composed of n-dodecanal(26.7%), n-pentadecane(22.2%), n-octanal(4.9%) and 2-pentylfuran(3.4%).

The fixed abrasive pad(FAP) has been introduced in chemical mechanical polishing(CMP) field recently. In comparison with the general CMP which uses the slurry including abrasives, FAP takes advantage of planarity. resulting from decreasing pattern selectivity and defects such as dishing due to the reduction of abrasive concentration especially. This paper introduces the manufacturing technique of $Al_2$O$_3$-FAP using hydrophilic polymers with swelling characteristic in water and explains the self.texturing phenomenon. It also focuses on the chemical effects on tungsten film and the FAP is evaluated on the removal rate as a function of chemicals such as oxidizer, catalyst, and acid. The removal rate is achieved up to 1000A1min as about 70 percents of the general one. In the future. the research has a plan of the advanced FAP and chemicals in tungsten CMP considering micro-scratch, life-time, and within wafer non-uniformity.

In order to improve the water swelling, thermal/mechanical and adhesion properties of waterborne polyurethane (WBPU), a series of the crosslinkable WBPUs containing hydrophilic ionic component, dimethylol propionic acid (20 mole%), were prepared by in-situ polymerization using a cross-linker hexakis (methoxymethyl) melamine (HMMM). Effects of the HMMM content (2, 4, and 6 wt%) and curing temperature on these properties of the crosslinked WBPUs samples were investigated. All properties were found to increase with increasing HMMM content. It was found that the optimum curing temperature of the WBPU films and adhesives was near $120^{\circ}C$, which was not dependent on the HMMM content.

As the first step to elucidate the relationship between the structure and function of CTP:phosphocholine cytidylyltransferase (EC 2.7.7.15) in plants, the partial nucleotide sequence of soybean cytidylyltransferase cDNA was determined using a polymerase chain reaction (PCR). Degenerate oligonucleotide primers were synthesized from the conserved region revealed from the rat and yeast cytidylyltransferase DNA sequences. The catalytic domain region showed 78 and 76% homology with the rat and yeast amino acid sequences, respectivly. The hydropathy profile indicated that the C-terminal non-catalytic portion of the protein was very hydrophilic, and in the region between the catalytic domain and the C-terminal region, there was a large amphipathic $\alpha$-helical domain that was believed to bind the membrane surface in the active formation. There are 7 potential sites for phosphorylation by protein kinase C and 4 potential sites for phosphorylation by Ca2+/calmodulin kinase within the determined sequence.
