Lettuce is an economically important leafy vegetable that accumulates a milk-like sap called latex in the laticifer. Previously, we conducted a large-scale lettuce latex proteomic analysis. However, the identified proteins were obtained only from lettuce ESTs and proteins deposited in NCBI databases. To extend the number of known latex proteins, we carried out an analysis identifying 302 additional proteins that were matched to the NCBI non-redundant protein database. Interestingly, the newly identified proteins were not recovered from lettuce EST and protein databases, indicating the usefulness of this hetero system in MudPIT analysis. Gene ontology studies revealed that the newly identified latex proteins are involved in many processes, including many metabolic pathways, binding functions, stress responses, developmental processes, protein metabolism, transport and signal transduction. Application of the non-redundant plant protein database led to the identification of an increased number of latex proteins. These newly identified latex proteins provide a rich source of information for laticifer research.

식품공업과 의학, 의료, 화장품 등 많은 분야에서 널리 이용되고 있는 단백질 분해 효소의 하나인 papain을 papaya 유액으로부터 추출해내기 위한 최적 조건을 반응표면 분석법(RSM)을 이용하여 결정하였다. 중심 합성법에 의한 실험 계획을 설정하여 부분요인 실험법에 의하여 crude papain을 추출 및 분리하고 선정된 독립 인자의 반응 표면에 대한 영향을 분석하여 다중 회귀 분석으로 다음과 같은 모델식(Y)을 얻었으며, EDTA는 다중 회귀 분석에 의하여 제거되었다. $Y=29.0630-2.5812X_3+149.3208X_4+{13.1705X_1}^{2}+{0.0208X_3}^2-{9.8494X_4}^2$. 따라서 이 결과 papain 추출은 $NaHSO_3$, 농도가 4%, 추출 시간은 120분, pH는 7.6일때 최적 조건이 된다. 이러한 최적 추출 조건으로 얻은 효소 단백질 추출 양의 실험치는 793.16 mg prot./g latex로, 이는 효소 단백질 추출 예측치인 795.60 mg prot./g latex와 매우 근접한 값을 나타냄으로써 r=0.9951의 높은 상관 관계를 입증하였다.

The core-shell latex particles were prepared by sequential emulsion polymerization of alkyl methacrylate and styrene(ST) by using an water-soluble initiator(APS) after preparing monomer pre-emulsion in the presence of an anionic surfactant(SDBS). In organic/organic core-shell polymerization, the pre-emulsion method, which minimized required quantity of sulfactant, has been used to increase the conversion rate and the stability of core-shell latex particles as well as to reduce the formation of secondary particle that cause problems of soap-free emulsion during shell polymerization. We used several methods to observe the core-shell structure. The core-shell structure was studied by measuring pH change during hydrolysis by NaOH, glass transition temperature($T_g$) by differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), morphology of latex by transmission electron microscope(TEM) and change of particle size and distribution by a particle analyzer.

Kevlar was chemically surface modified with resorcinol-formaldehyde(RF) prepolymer and VP rubber latex for application to high strength tirecords. RF prepolymer was easily obtained by polymerization at room temperature in the presence of a base catalyst. The mechanical and thermal properties of Kevlar were not significantly changed during surface treated under various conditions. The change of adhesion with rubber were investigated through H-test method. Maximum increase of adhesion force between rubber and Kevlar was obtained up to 40% than that of untreated one when the fiber was soaked in RFL dipping solution and thermally treated at $170^{\circ}C$ for 3 - 5min.

Drying shrinkage cracking which may be caused by the relatively large specific surface IS a matter of grave concern for latex modified concrete(LMC) overlay and rapid-setting cement latex modified concrete(RSLMC) overlay. LMC and RSLMC were studied for field applications very actively in terms of strength and durability in Korea. However, there were no considerations in drying shrinkage. Therefore, the purpose of this dissertation was to study the drying shrinkage properties of LMC and RSLMC with the main experimental variables such as cement types(ordinary portland cement, rapid setting cement), water-cement ratios and curing days at a same controlled environment of 60% of relative humidity and $20^{\circ}C$ of temperature The drying shrinkage for specimens was measured with a digital dial gauge of Demec. The test results showed that the drying shrinkage of LMC and RSLMC were considerably lower with low water-cement ratio, respectively This might be attributed to the interlocking of hydrated cement and aggregates by a film of latex particles, water retention due to hydrophobic, and colloidal properties of the latexes resulting in reduced water evaporation.

Recently, very-early strength latex-modified concrete(below ; VES-LMC) has been developed for repairing and overlaying the old concrete bridge deck. VES-LMC provides the advantage of very-early-strength, as well as high flexural strength, bond strength, durability, resistance to corrosion, reduced water permeability and resistance to damage from freeze-thaw cycles. The compressive and flexural strength of VES-LMC are 21 MPa and 4.5 MPa at 3 hours after concrete placing, respectively. However, VES-LMC would have a relatively large shrinkage at early-age because of reduced water-cement ratio, big water self-dissipation, and rapid hydration reaction. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to evaluate the early-age and restrained shrinkage of VES-LMC, having an experimental variables such as latex contents and cement types. The latex contents included 0%, 5%, 10%, 15% and 20%, and the cement types included ordinary portland cement and very-early strength cement.

Polystyrene latex를 제조하는 여러방법중에서 상업적으로는 유화중합기술이 가장 많이 사용되고 있다. 유화중합에서 사용되는 화학개시제가 환경오염 유발의 원인이 될 수 있을 뿐만 아니라 고분자 중합 방법도 전통적 기술을 벗어나는 다양한 공정의 개발이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 화학 개시제를 초음파 에너지 효과로 대체하여 초음파 조사시에 나타나는 공동현상에 의한 자유 라디칼(free radical)을 생성시켜 polystyrene latex를 제조하였다. 제조된 polystyrene latex를 GPC로 분석한 결과 초음파 조사시간이 증가할수록 평균분자량은 증가하였으며 분산도는 감소하였다. 또한 계면활성제로 사용된 sodium dodecyl sulfate(SDS)의 농도가 증가할수록 중합도는 증가하였으며, SDS의 농도가 전체의 2wt.%이고 반응온도가 $40^{\circ}C$일 때 중합도는 $2.43{\times}10^4$으로 최대값을 나타내었다. 중합이 진행되는 동안 해중합이 동시에 발생하므로 평균분자량은 증가와 감소를 반복하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 초음파 조사시간과 계면활성제의 농도를 조절하므로써 분자량이 조절된 좁은 분자량 분포의 polystyrene latex를 제조할 수 있었다.

Core-shell polymers of methyl methacrylate-styrene system were prepared by sequential emulsion polymerization in the presence of sodium dodecyl benzene sulfonate(SDBS) as an emulsifier using ammonium persulfate(APS) in an initiator and the characteristics of these core-shell polymers were evaluated. Core-shell composite latex has the both properties of core and shell components in a particle, whereas polymer blends or copolymers show a combined physical properties of two homopolymers. This unique behavior of core-shell composite latex can be used in various industrial fields. However, in preparation of core-shell composite latex, several unexpected matters are observed, for examples, particle coagulation, low degree of polymerization, and formation of new particles during shell polymerization. To solve this matters, we study the effects of surfactant concentrations, initiator concentrations, and reaction temperature on the core-shell structure of PMMA-PSt and PSt-PMMA. Particle size and particles distribution were measured by using particle size analyzer, and the morphology of the core-shell composite latex was observed by using transmission electron microscope. Glass temperature was also measured by using differential scanning calorimeter. To identify the core-shell structure, pH of the composite latex solutions was measured.

카르복실화 스티렌-부타디엔 라텍스의 중합시간은 사용되는 부타디엔 모노머가 공액 이중결합을 가진 화학적 구조로 인하여 라디칼 중합시 홀 전파의 비편재화로 인해 아크릴 에멀젼의 제조시 보다 중합시간이 매우 길다. 또한 라텍스 자체가 고분자와 분산매의 분리 없이 사용되기 때문에 라텍스의 안정성은 대단히 중요하다. 물성의 저하없이 반응시간을 단축하기 위하여 기존에 사용하던 연쇄이동제인 사염화탄소 대신 tert-dodecylmercaptane 과 ${\alpha}$-methylstyrene dimer를 혼합 사용하여 반응시간을 14시간에서 12시간으로 줄일 수 있었다. 반응 성장단계에서 아크릴산의 투입량을 0.3 part로 제한하여 라텍스의 점도 상승을 막고 초기중합단계 직후에 아크릴아미드를 0.1 part 첨가하여 라텍스 입자의 내부영역과 외부영역의 고분자 사슬의 상호간확산을 막아 단단하면서도 접착력을 유지할 수 있는 라텍스의 합성 결과를 얻었다.

A new technology was introduced to the emulsion polymerization. It is the ultrasonic activation method which replaced a chemical initiator and the environmentally benign process. In this study, free radicals were produced by a pulse type ultrasound energy irradiation, then polystyrene latex was polymerized without chemical initiator. With ultrasonic energy density, the degree of polymerization, average molecular weight, and particle size were increased, but the polydispersity index for the molecular weight and the particle size were decreased. The optimum condition of emulsifier concentration and temperature was found to be 1.0 wt.% SDS and $40^{\circ}C$, respectively. As a result, the emulsion polymerization process without chemical initiator was proved to be comparable to common latex properties such as average molecular weight, molecular weight distribution, particle size, etc.
