천연고무와 실리콘고무에 자기장응답형 분말을(Magnetic Responsible Powder; MRP) 배합하여 자기장응답형 엘라스토머(Magneto-rheological Elastomer; MRE)를 제조하였다. MRP의 최적 사용량은 30 vol.% 였으며 천연고무 기반 MRE의 기계적 물성은 실리콘고무 기반 MRE 보다 우수했지만, magneto-rheological (MR) 효과는 실리콘고무 기반 MRE가 더욱 우수하였다. MR 효과는 Self-modified Electromagnet Applied Fast Fourier Transform Analyser (SEFFTA)를 사용하여 측정되었는데 천연고무 기반 MRE의 경우는 10%, 실리콘고무 기반 MRE의 경우는 최대 35.7%까지 나타내었다. 네오디뮴 자석을 이용하여 MRE를 경화시키기 전 MRP를 선 배향 시킬 경우 더욱 우수한 MR 효과를 얻을 수 있었으며, MRP의 배향은 주사전자현미경을 이용하여 분석하였다.

The structural, electrical and magnetic properties were investigated for the high-Tc superconductor $YBa_2Cu_3O_{7-x}$, where x was 0.13. The results of temperature dependence of the resistivity and the magnetization in $YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.87}$ whose structure and phase are confirmed by arialysis of X-ray powder diffraction pattern have been reported. A very sharp superconductivity transition appears at 92K in the specimen whose chemical composition is determined from redox titration, strongly suggesting that this specimen consists of a single-phase superconductor. From the results of X-ray diffraction analysis, magnetization curves, levitation and resistance measurements, it is suggested that the observed superconductivity is bulk property in nature and that the $YBa_2Cu_3O_{6.87}$ phase is responsible for the superconductivity of the present reproducible specimen.

Recently, it has been found that mechanical alloying (MA) facilitates the nanocomposites formation of metal-metal oxide systems through solid-state reduction during ball milling. In this work, we studied the MA effect of Fe$_{3}$O$_{4}$-M (M = Al, Ti) systems, where pure metals are used as reducing agents. It is found that composite powders in which $Al_{2}$O$_{3}$ and TiO$_{2}$ are dispersed in $\alpha$-Fe matrix with nano-sized grains are obtained by mechanical alloying of Fe$_{3}$O$_{4}$ with Al and Ti for 25 and 75 hours, respectively. It is suggested that the large negative heat associated with the chemical reduction of magnetite by aluminum is responsible for the shorter MA time for composite powder formation in Fe$_{3}$O$_{4}$-Al system. X-ray diffraction results show that the reduction of magnetite by Al and Ti if a relatively simple reaction, involving one intermediate phase of FeAl$_{2}$O$_{4}$ or Fe$_{3}$Ti$_{3}$O$_{10}$. The average grain size of $\alpha$-Fe in Fe-TiO$_{2}$ composite powders is in the range of 30 nm. From magnetic measurement, we can also obtain indirect information about the details of the solid-state reduction process during MA.

Amyloid fibrils have long been known to be the well known ${\alpha}$-helix to ${\beta}$-sheet transition characterizing the conversion of cellular to scrapie forms of the prion protein. A very short sequence of Yeast prion-like protein, GNNQQNY (SupN), is responsible for aggregation that induces diseases. KSI-fused tandem repeats of SupN vector are constructed and used to express SupN peptide in Escherichia coli (E.Coli). A method for a production, purification, and cleavage of tandem repeats of recombinant isotopically enriched SupN in E. coli is described. This method yields as much as 20 mg/L of isotope-enriched fusion proteins in minimal media. Synthetic SupN peptides and $^{13}C$ Gly labeled SupN peptides are studied by Congo Red staining, Birefringence and transmission electron microscopy to characterize amyloid fibril formation. To get a better understanding of aggregation-structure relationship of 7 residues of Yeast prion-like protein, the change of a conformational structure will be studied by $^{13}C$ solid-state nmr spectroscopy as powder of both amorphous and fibrillar forms.
