Dispersion of carbon nanotubes in biocompatible media are of particular interest for diverse biomedical and nanomedicine applications. Various biomolecules and biopolymers such as DNA, proteins, poly L-lysine, starch, gelatin, steroid biosurfactants, and chitosan have shown capability for the effective dispersion of carbon nanotubes in water. Chitosan has demonstrated capacity for effective dispersion of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) in acidic medium and it also showed tendency to preferentially disperse smaller diameter nanotubes. Chemical functionalizations of chitosan enable its solubility in neutral pH water by reducing the intra and inter molecular hydrogen bonding. Herein, we present a neutral pH water soluble chitosan derivative, chitosan-hydroxyphenyl acetamide (CHPA), obtained by functionalizing the amino groups of chitosan with 4-hydroxyphenyl acetic acid, as an efficient biocompatible dispersant for debundling and solubilization of SWNTs in neutral aqueous solutions. Various process conditions for individual dispersion of SWCNTs are analyzed based on optical absorption and Raman spectroscopy.

A variety of NMR techniques were applied to the micro-chemical structural characterization of polyanilines prepared via an efficient synthetic method in a self-stabilized dispersion medium in which the polymerization was conducted in a heterogeneous organic/aqueous biphasic system without any stabilizers. Here, the monomer and growing polymer chain were shown to function simultaneously as a stabilizer, imparting compatibility for the dispersion of the organic phase, and as a form of flexible template in an aqueous reaction medium. Polymerizations predicated on this concept generated polyanilines with a low defect content: solution state $^{13}C-NMR$ and solid $^{13}CDD/CP/MAS$ spectroscopy indicated that the synthesized HCPANi and its soluble derivative, HCPANi-t-BOC, evidenced distinctly different NMR spectra with fewer side peaks, as compared to conventionally prepared PANis, and the complete structural assignments of the observed NMR peaks could be determined via the combination of both 1D and 2D techniques. Ortho-linked defects in HCPANi were estimated to be as low as 7%, as shown by a comparison of the integration of the carbonyl carbon resonance peaks.

The aim of this paper is to study the propagation of torsional surface waves in non-homogeneous isotropic layer of finite thickness placed over a homogeneous viscoelastic half-space, when both density and rigidity of the non-homogeneous medium are assumed to vary exponentially with depth. The frequency equations are obtained by using simple method of separation of variables. Further, it is seen that when viscoelastic parameter and non-homogeneity parameter is neglected, the dispersion equation gives the dispersion equations of Love waves in homogeneous, elastic and isotropic layer placed over homogeneous viscoelastic medium. The problem has been solved numerically and the effects of various inhomogeneities of the medium on torsional waves have been illustrated graphically.

We have demonstrated a highly sensitive temperature sensor using an etched single mode fiber with a thermally expanded core region. Large core size of thermally expanded core facilitates access to evanescent wave by the wet etching. The etched region was surrounded by a low dispersive external medium with high thermo-optic coefficient. Due to the large difference between the dispersion property of the fiber and that of the external medium, the device reveals a cut-off properties at spectral region. The cut-off wavelength was shifted by the variations of the environmental temperatures because of thermo-optic effect of the external medium. The sensitivity of the fabricated device was found to be $45nm/^{\circ}C$.

채널 간격이 100 ㎓로 일정하고 채널 비트율이 40 Gbps인 16-채널 WDM 시스템에 MSSI(Mid-Span Spectral Inversion) 기법을 적용한 경우의 4-광파 혼합(FWM: Four-Wave Mixing)에 의해 왜곡된 채널 신호의 보상 특성을 살펴보았다. MSSl를 통한 광대역 보상을 위해 광 위상 공액기(OPC: Optical Phase Conjugator)의 비선형 매질로 HNL-DSF(Highly-Nonlinear Dispersion Shifted Fiber)를 사용하였다. 우선 MSSI 기법을 이용하면 FWM에 의한 채널 간섭의 영향을 모든 채널에 걸쳐 특정 입력 전력 범위 내에서 비슷한 특성으로 줄일 수 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 그러나 OPC에 의해 생성되는 공액파 전력이 입력 신호파 전력에 비해 작은 장파장 채널들은 광섬유의 분산 계수가 커질수록 보상의 정도가 줄어드는 것도 알 수 있었다. 즉 분산 계수가 비교적 적은 광섬유를 통해 채널 간격이 일정한 WDM 채널들을 특정 전력 이내에서 양호한 품질로 전송하는데 HNL-DSF를 이용한 MSSI 보상 기법이 효과적이라는 것을 확인할 수 있었다.

Ultrafine magnetite powder for the ferromagnetic fluid was prepared by an addition of alkaline solution to the solution containing Fe2+ and Fe3+ ions at 6$0^{\circ}C$. The optimum condition of the magnetite synthesis was delineated by examining such various physico-chemical properties as Fe2+/Fe+3 ratio in the powder, phase characteristics, MHC and $\sigma$max. A new scheme for the steric stabilization of colloidal dispersion was proposed using the concept of the buffer group action for the increased interfacial density of the stabilizing moieties at colloid particle/dispersion medium interface. The proposed concept was successfully applied to the preparation of the kinetically stable kerosinebased ferrofluid using Tween and Span as dispersants. In the dispersion of magnetite particles in a kerosine, Tween(polyoxyethylene sorbitan oleate) acts as a primary stabilizer which provides an anchor group, whereas Span(sorbitan oleate) can be classified as a secondary stabilizer which adsorbs on the surface of magnetite particle through the action of the buffer group. Dispersion studies using various quantities of Tween and Span supported the concept of the buffer group action for increased dispersion characteristics of the kerosine based ferromagnetic fluid.

열적으로 안정한 탄화수소계 액상 파라핀인 YK-D130을 분산매로 사용하여 ${\omega}$-amino carboxylic acid와 adipic aicd로부터 폴리아미드 12(PA12) 올리고머(oPA1)를 제조하였으며 이들을 통상의 벌크중합으로 제조되는 비슷한 분자량의 폴리아미드 올리고머(oPA2)로 합성하여 분자량과 기타 특성을 비교하였다. 색도 분석 결과 oPA1이 더 밝은 백색을 나타냈고, GPC 결과로부터 oPA1가 더 좁은 분자량 분포를 보였다. 나아가 oPA1과 oPA2를 hard segment로 하고 poly(tetramethylene glycol)(PTMG)을 soft segment로 하는 탄성의 poly(ether-block-amide)(PEBA)를 합성하였다. 합성된 PEBA의 분자량과 기계적 성질 등을 비교 분석하였다.

아세클로페낙은 높은 결정성을 갖는 난용성 약물이다. 이러한 난용성 약물의 용해도를 증진시키기 위해서 고체분산법을 바탕으로 한 분무건조기를 이용하여 미립구를 제조하였다. PVP-K30을 수용성 담체로 사용하였고 폴록사머는 계면활성화제로 사용하였다. 제조된 아세클로페낙 고체분산체의 특성을 SEM, DSC, XRD 그리고 FT-IR을 이용하여 확인하였다. SEM, DSC, XRD을 통하여 아세클로페낙 고체분산체가 무정형임을 알 수 있었고 FT-IR을 통하여 아세클로페낙과 PVP-K30간에 수소결합을 통해 염을 형성하고 있다는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 제조된 미립구는 pH 6.8에서 방출을 실시하였으며 시판제인 $Airtal^{(R)}$과 용출률을 비교하였으며 분무건조를 통해 제조한 미립구가 시판제인 $Airtal^{(R)}$ 보다 용출률이 크다는 것을 확인하였다.

분산중합법에 의해 무기물을 포함하는 고분자 미립자를 합성하기 위해 styrene과 n-butyl methacrylate가 알루미나와 함께 중합되었다. Styrene과 n-butylmethacrylate의 무게 비는 3:1이었고, 입자안정제는 poly(N-vinyl pyrrolidon), 중합 개시제로는 2,2'-azobis(isobutyronitrile)를 사용하여 개시제의 농도, 분산매의 종류, 분산매의 혼합 용해도 상수 (${\delta}_{mix}$), 커플링제의 종류와 농도에 따른 입자경을 조사하였다. 개시제의 농도가 증가함에 따라 입자경이 소폭 상승하였고 분산매의 극성이 증가할수록 입경이 증가하였고, 분산매로서, 이소프로판올과 이온교환수를 조성비에 따라 사용한 경우, $[{\delta}_{mix}]^{-4.01}\;{\propto}$ 평균 입자경과 $[{\delta]_{mix}]^{-0.83}\;{\propto}$ 입경 분포의 관계를 얻을 수 있었다. 커플링제의 종류와 농도변화에 따른 입자경 및 입자경 분포는 뚜렷한 차이가 없었다.

In this paper, the optimal position of optical phase conjugator(OPC) excellently compensating distorted WDM channels with initial frequency chirp due to both chromatic dispersion and self phase modulation(SPM) is numerically investigated. Highly-nonlinear dispersion shifted fiber(HNL-DSF) is used as a nonlinear medium of OPC in order to widely compensate WDM signal band. It is confirmed that if the OPC position was shifted from mid-way of total transmission length dependence on the initial frequency chirp as well as modulation format and fiber dispersion coefficient, it is possible to cancel the performance degradation owing to the initial frequency chirp. Using proposed configuration, it is possible to remove all in-line dispersion compensator, reducing span losses and system costs in the long-haul broadband WDM systems.
