  • Enzymes in organic media afford many advantages such as chiral synthesis and resolution, modification of fats and oils and production of biodegradable polymers. However, the nature of solvents influences the activity and stability of enzymes, and the presence of organic solvents always constitute a risk of enzyme inactivation. Heat-shock protein Hsp90, one of the molecular chaperone, was applied for understanding of enzyme inactivation and for increasing of enzyme stability in water-miscible organic solvent. Hsp90 showed stabilization effect on HRP in the 30% of DMSO, in the 30% and 50% of dioxane. Hsp90 also showed reactivation effect on the inactivated HRP by water-miscible organic solvent such as dioxane and DMSO. In addition, structural analysis using fluorescence spectrophotometry and circular dichroism showed that exposure of HRP in water-miscible organic solvent caused appreciable conformational changes and enzyme inactivation, and the unfolded HRP by water-miscible organic solvent was refolded by Hsp90.

  • Performances of organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) can be detrimentally affected by the state of the gate dielectric. Because of the bad stability of polymers, OTFTs with polymer gate dielectrics often provide abnormal characteristics. In this study, we report the condensation effect of the polymer gate dielectric layer. For the observations of the effect of the condensation, the spin-coated polymer layers with various deposition conditions were fabricated and left under low vacuum condition for several days. It is observed that the thickness of polymer layer and the electrical characteristic of OTFTs vary with the condensation time.

  • Silicone dioxide absorbed polyoxyethylene alkylether sulfate (EU-S133D) surfactant was prepared. Core-shell polymers of inorganic/organic pair, which have both core and shell component, were synthesized by sequential emulsion polymerization using Acrylate as a shell monomer and potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator. We found that when Acrylate core prepared by adding 2.0 wt% EU-S133D, silicone dioxide/Acrylate core-shell polymerization was carried out on the surface of silicone dioxide particle without forming the new silicone dioxide particle during acrylate shell polymerization in the inorganic/organic core-shell polymer preparation. The structure of core-shell polymer were investigated by measuring to the thermal decomposition of polymer composite using thermogravimetric analyzer and morphology of latex by scanning electron microscope(SEM).

  • Titanium dioxide particles are used as photocatalysts, sensors, adsorbents and catalyst. Core-shell polymers of inorganic/organic pair, which have both core and shell component, were synthesized by sequential emulsion polymerization using Acrylate as a shell monomer and potassium persulfate (KPS) as an initiator. We found that when Acrylate core prepared by adding 0.5~2.0 wt% EU-S133D, Titanium dioxide / Acrylate core-shell polymerization was carried out on the surface of Titanium dioxide particle without forming the new Titanium dioxide particle during acrylate shell polymerized in the inorganic/organic core-shell polymer preparation. The structure of core-shell polymer were investigated by measuring to the thermal decomposition of polymer composite using thermogravimetric analyzer(TGA) and morphology of latex by scanning electron microscope(SEM).

  • We reported the fabrication and thermal cross-linking of the LB files on porous substrates. The monolayers of the polymers which polyion-conplexed with PAA at the air-water interface can be transferred onto solid substrates such as porous fluorocarbon membrane filter and quartz crystal microbalance. The properties of the monolayers and the LB films investigated by $\pi$-A isothem, FT-IR, and SEM will be discussed. In addition, it was attempted to investigate the reaction of polymer LB films in the organic gas surrounding by the use of LB technique.

  • Magnetic and magneto-optical properties of regioregular (>99%) poly(3-dodecylthiopenes are investigated. Faraday rotation of spin-coated films show extremely large Verdet constants, falling strongly with decreasing regioregularity. EPR spectroscopy at room temperature shows the presence of about 1 spin/190 monomers, indicative of delocalisation beyond a single polymer chain. SQUID measurements on the polymer give an effective magnetic moment of about 48900 mB, corrsponding to a S-value of 25.000. The Weiss-constant is 1.33 K indicating ferromagnetic coupling. Our experimental results show that organic polymer magnets can be prepared. Large MO effects allow the use of these materials in all-organic MO-sensors and devices.

  • Hydrogels of semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (semi-IPNs) were prepared by two step reactions. Dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DMAM) and poly(ethylene glycol)-dimethacrylate (PEGDM) were copolymerized to yield hydrogels, and then acrylic acid (AA) monomer were adsorbed in the hydrogels followed by polymerization of AA to produce semi-IPNs. The swelling behavior of semi-IPNs depends largely on pH of medium, showing that the degree of swelling of the semi-IPNs exhibits a minimum at pH 6.0. It is observed that the elastic modulus of semi-IPNs is closely related to its swelling behavior.

  • In this paper. we give pressure stimulation into organic ultra thin films and detected the induced displacement current proper ties, and then manufacture a device under the accumulation condition. In processing of a device manufacture. And electroluminescence(EL) from conjugated polymers has recently received great attention because polymer light-emitting diodes(LEDs) clealy have potential for applications such as large-area displays. The operation of polymer LEDs is based on double injection of electrons and holes from the elextrodes. followed by formation of excitons whose radiative decay results in light emission at wavelength characteristic to the material. In this paper, we fabricated the single layer EL device using $Alq_3$ as emitting material. According as turn on voltage could know about 5.5V in voltage-current characteristics and voltage rise, current could see that increase as non-linear, Current and ruminance can see that express similar relativity in voltage, and could know that ruminance is expressing current relativity.

  • Under irradiation in a microwave oven, six novel poly(amide-imide)s containing tetrahydropyrimidinone, tetrahydro-2-thioxopyrimidine moieties and trimellitic rings in their main chains were synthesized through the polycondensation reaction of N,N'-(4,4'-diphenylether)bis(trimellitimide) diacid chloride with six different derivatives of tetrahydropyrimidinone and tetrahydro-2-thioxopyrimidine in the presence of a small amount of a polar organic medium, such as o-cresol. The polycondensation proceeded rapidly and completed within 7-9 min, producing a series of new poly(amide-imide)s in high yield that showed inherent viscosities in the range 0.33-0.52 dL/g. These poly(amide-imide)s were characterized by elemental analysis, viscosity measurement, thermal gravimetric analysis, solubility test, and FT-IR spectroscopy. All of the polymers were soluble at room temperature in polar solvents such as N,N-dimethylacetamide, N,N-dimethylformamide, dimethylsulfoxide, tetrahydrofuran, and N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone.
