The products from polymer pyrolysis at $450^{\circ}$ are cooled with ice, then liquid and gaseous portions are analysed by gas chromatography. Di-2-ethyl hexyl sebacate column, silicone oil column, silica gel column and tetraethyleneglycol dimethylether column, which was most effective for the separation of hydrocarbon gases, are used. Identification of isomers could be secured more effectively by gas chromatography than mass spectrometry. Elucidation of the mechanism for thermal decomposition of polymers could be done through the identification of pyrolysis products. Although more extensive work is needed, some patterns of polymer pyrolysis are discussed.

본 논문은 최적설계기법을 적용하여 Cross-WLF 모델의 계수 값을 효과적으로 추정하는 것이다. 사출성형 공정의 해석에서 주로 사용되는 Cross-WLF 점도 모델은 온도와 전단율의 영향이 민감한 고분자의 유변학적 특성을 잘 모사하는 모델로 널리 사용되고 있다. 정확한 폴리머 유변학적 특성 예측을 위해서는 정확한 Cross-WLF 계수 값의 추정은 필수이다. 실험적으로 획득한 데이터의 점도 값과 Cross-WLF의 계수 값을 설계변수로 가정하여 계산한 점도 값이 일치한다면, 최적화 기법을 통해 정의된 Cross-WLF모델이 실험 데이터를 정확하게 모사하는 것이라 할 수 있다. 이러한 Cross-WLF 모델을 통해 계산된 점도와 실험 데이터의 차이를 최소화하는 목적함수로 Cross-WLF의 계수 값을 설계변수로 정의하여 연구를 수행하였다. 본 논문에서 제시한 최적화기법의 타당성으로 확인하기 위하여 몇개의 소재를 대상으로 하여 Moldflow에서 제공하는 Cross-WLF 계수 값과 본 논문에서 제안한 방법으로 획득한 계수 값를 비교하여 잘 일치함을 확인하였다. 또한, Moldflow Plastic Lab의 실제 측정 데이터를 활용하여 추정한 결과 제안한 방법의 효율성 및 타당성을 입증하였다.

Aliphatic hydrocarbon gases from rubber pyrolysis have been identified by gas chromatography with tetraethyleneglycol dimethylether column. Rubbers used in this work are polyisoprene, SBR, NBR, polybutadiene, buthyl rubber, polychloroprene and polyurethane rubber. The chromatogram is characteristic for each polymer. Author proposes a method of identification of synthetic rubbers by gas chromatograph of pyrolyzed gas. Sample is pyrolyzed at $450^{\circ}C$ under nitrogen or more effectively helium and gaseous portion, which eliminated liquid condensate, is passed to the column. The appearance of exclusively large peak of isoprene, isobutylene and carbon dioxide shows the presence of polyisoprene, polyisobutylene and polyurethane, respectively. Large peak of butadiene will appear in case of polybutadiene, SBR and NBR, but SBR can be identified through the styrene peak in gas chromatogram of liquid pyrolyzate and NBR can be identified by the evolution of hydrogen cyanide during pyrolysis. Polychloroprene is identified by the evolution of hydrogen chloride. This method could be applied to the identification of copolymer or polymer blend.

The development of methods for the identification of irradiated foods helps enforce national and international regulations on labelling to ensure the consumer's free choice to buy irradiated or unirradiated foods. and the availabilityof such methods may assist the promotion of international trade in irradiated food products and help prevent abuse of the technology. A number of approaches to determine the physical , chemical, microbiological and biological changes that occur in foods treated with ionizing radiation have been studied. However no single method is universally applicable. Among physical measurements, the leading methods of indentification are electron spin resonance (ESR) spectroscopy and thermoluminescence(TL). ESR is an established non-destructive method for the analysis of free radicals from their traps and TL is the emission of light from irradiated mineral extracts by heating. Viscosity of carbohydrate polymers by causing chain breaks by irradiation, measuring the impedance of potatoes and detection of gases produced radiolytically are promising techniques for identification purposes. Irradiated water-containing foods show significant supercooling when monitored with a differential scanning calorimeter (DSC), which can be applied to identifying irradiated ones.

This paper describes an experimental study on structural health monitoring of a 1:3-scaled one-story concrete frame subjected to seismic damage and retrofit. The structure is tested on a shaking table by exerting successively enhanced earthquake excitations until severe damage, and then retrofitted using fiber-reinforced polymers (FRP). The modal properties of the tested structure at trifling, moderate, severe damage and strengthening stages are measured by subjecting it to a small-amplitude white-noise excitation after each earthquake attack. Making use of the measured global modal frequencies and a validated finite element model of the tested structure, a neural network method is developed to quantitatively identify the stiffness reduction due to damage and the stiffness enhancement due to strengthening. The identification results are compared with 'true' damage severities that are defined and determined based on visual inspection and local impact testing. It is shown that by the use of FRP retrofit, the stiffness of the severely damaged structure can be recovered to the level as in the trifling damage stage.

A simple and sensitive high-performance liquid chromatographic method was developed for the simultaneous identification of enrofloxacin and its active metabolite ciprofloxacin in chicken muscle. Norflorxacin imprinted polymers synthesized in water-containing systems show high selectivity to enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin in an aqueous environment. Using these water-compatible imprinted polymers as selective adsorbents in the solid-phase extraction of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin from chicken samples, the remaining biological matrix could be quickly washed out from the imprinted column while enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin were selectively retained and enriched. Analytical separation was performed on a $C_{18}$ column using acetonitrile-water as a mobile phase and fluorescence detection. Good linearity was obtained from 0.8 to 500 ng/g (r > 0.998) with relative standard deviation of less than 3.9%. The mean recoveries of enrofloxacin and ciprofloxacin from chicken muscle were 80.6-94.5% and 77.8-91.8% at three different concentrations. The limits of determinations based on S/N=3 were 0.07 ng/g and 0.09 ng/g, which are below the maximum residue limits established in many countries.

In the present paper, glass fibers are substituted partially with monofilament fishnet and polyester matrix for making the composites. The composite specimens were prepared in accordance with ASTM for analyzing the flexural strength and dynamic mechanical properties. Furthermore, machinability revealed the interaction of glass fiber and partial substituted monofilament fishnet fiber with the matrix. Fiber pullouts on the fractured specimen during the physical testing of the composites are also investigated by COSLAB microscope. The results reveal that the fishnet based composites have appreciably higher flexural properties. Furthermore, the glass fiber, woven roving and fishnet composite has more storage modulus and significant mechanical damping. The composite specimens were fabricated by hand lay-up method. Hence, these composites are the possible applications to develop the value added products. The results of this study are presented.

Ubiquitin is an essential, highly-conserved small regulatory protein in eukaryotic cells. It covalently modifies a wide variety of targeted proteins in the forms of monomer and polymers, altering the conformation and binding properties of the proteins and thus regulating proteasomal delivery, protein activities and localization. Mass spectrometry has emerged as an indispensable tool for in-depth characterization of protein ubiquitination. Ubiquitinated proteins in cell lysates are usually enriched by affinity chromatography and subsequently analyzed by mass spectrometry for identification and quantification. Ubiquitin-conjugated amino acid residues can be determined by unique mass shift caused by the modification. Moreover, the complex structure of polyubiquitin chains on substrates can be dissected by bottom-up and middle-down mass spectrometric approaches, revealing potential novel functions of polyubiquitin linkages. Here I review the advances and caveats of these strategies, emphasizing caution in the validation of ubiquitinated proteins and in the interpretation of raw data.

A fast and simple sampling and sample preparation device, (NTD) has been developed and applied to sample and analyze volatile components from ground coffee beans. Coffee fragrances and other volatile organic compounds (VOCs) were sampled by the NTD and then analyzed by gas chromatograph-mass spectrometry (GC/MS). Divinylbenzene (DVB) particles (80/100 mesh size) were the sorbent bed of the NTD. More than 150 volatile components were first identified based on the database of the mass library and then finally 30 fragrances including caffeine were further confirmed by comparing experimental retention indices (i.e. Kovat index) with literature retention indices. Total sampling time was 10 minutes and no extra solvent extraction and/or reconstitution step need. Straight n-alkanes (C6-C20) were used as retention index probes for the calculation of experimental retention indices. In addition, this report suggests that an empty needle can be an alternative platform for analyzing polymers by pyrolysis-GC/MS.

Characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes(OLEDs) were studied with devices made by PECCP[poly(3,6-N-2-ethylhexyl carbazolyl cyanoterephthalidene)] Langmuir-Blodget(LB) films. The emissive organic material was synthesized and named PECCP, which has a strong electron donor group and an electron accepter group in main chain repeated unit. The LB technique was employed to investigate the identification of the recombination zone in the ITO/PECCP LB films/Alq$_3$/Al structure by varying the LB film thickness. PECCP was considered as an emissive layer and Alq$_3$was used as an electron-transport layer. We measured current-voltage(I-V) characteristics, UV/visible absorption, PL spectrum, and EL spectrum of those devises.
