A series of pH/temperature sensitive polymers were synthesized by copolymerizing N-isopro-pyl acrylamide(NIPAAm) and acrylic acid(AAc) . The influence of polyelectrolyte between poly(allyl amine) (PAA) and poly(L-lysine)(PLL) on the lower critical solution temperature(LCST) of pH/temperature sensitive polymer was compared in the range of pH 2∼12. The LCST of PNIPAAm/water in aqueous poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc) solution was determined by cloud point measurements. A polyelectrolyte complex was prepared by mixing poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc) with poly(allyl amine) (PAA) or poly(L-lysine) (PLL) solutions as anionic and cationic polyelectrolytes, respectively. The effect of polyelectrolyte complex formation on the conformation of PLL was studied as a function of temperature by means of circular dichroism(CD). The cloud points of PNIPAAm in the aqueous copolymers solutions were stongly affected by pH, the presence of polyelectrolyte solute, AAc content, and charge density. The polyelectrolyte complex was formed at neutral condition. The influence of more hydrophobic PLL as a polyelectrolyte on the cloud point of PNIPAAm in the aqueous copolymer solution was stronger than that of poly(allyl amine)(PAA). Although polymer-polymer complex was formed between poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc) and PLL, the conformational change of PLL did not occur due to steric hinderance of bulky N-isopropyl groups of PNIPAAm.

This study was undertaken to measure the electrochemical corrosion of amorphous $Zr_{65}Al_8Ni_{15}Cu_{12}$ (at.%) alloy ribbon under various conditions, including 0.4 mM HCl solution, and for various values of the pH and the immersion time. The corrosion potentials($E_{corr}$) for the amorphous $Zr_{65}Al_8Ni_{15}Cu_{12}$ alloy in 0.4 mM HCl decreased with increasing temperature; the corrosion current density($I_{corr}$) increased with increasing temperature in general. The polarization resistance($R_p$) was inversely proportional to the corrosion rate. While pH=7, 9, 11 was not as sensitive as pH=3, 5, pH=3 was more sensitive for amorphous $Zr_{65}Al_8Ni_{15}Cu_{12}$ alloy than other pHs specially. The change of mass in the 70 mM $H_2SO_4$ solution with immersion time was the greatest in the first 100 h.

Several kinds of biodegradable hydrogels were prepared via in situ photopolymerization of Pluronic F127/poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) macromer and acrylic acid (AA) comonomer in aqueous medium. The swelling kinetics measurements showed that the resultant hydrogels exhibited both thermo- and pH-sensitive behaviors, and that this stimuli-responsiveness underwent a fast reversible process. With increasing pH of the local buffer solutions, the pH sensitivity of the hydrogels was increased, while the temperature sensitivity was decreased. In vitro hydrolytic degradation in the buffer solution (pH 7.4, $37^{\circ}C$), the degradation rate of the hydrogels was greatly improved due to the introduction of the AA comonomer. The in vitro release profiles of bovine serum albumin (BSA) in-situ embedded into the hydrogels were also investigated: the release mechanism of BSA based on the Peppas equation was followed Case II diffusion. Such biodegradable dual-sensitive hydrogel materials may have more advantages as a potentially interesting platform for smart drug delivery carriers and tissue engineering scaffolds.

Novel microgels of N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM)-co-methacrylic acid (MAA) (NIPAM-co-MAA) with different contents of N,N-methylene bis acrylamide (MBA) were prepared by emulsion polymerization technique and were studied by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), dynamic light scattering (DLS) and zeta potential measurement. Effect of pH, temperature and different salts concentration on the microgel particles was investigated. DLS results have shown that the hydrodynamic radius of the microgel increased upon increasing pH and decreased upon increasing temperature. The swelling/deswelling behaviors as determined by DLS showed the ionic repulsions of the carboxyl group of the methacrylic acid and hydrophobic interaction of NIPAM. The effect of various salts on volume phase transition temperature (VPTT) was also investigated. Upon increasing salt concentration, VPTT became broad and shifted to a lower temperature. Electrophoretic mobility measurements showed an increase with increasing pH and temperature at a constant ionic strength.

고분자 전해질 복합체 형성이 poly(N-isopropyl acrylamide)(PNIPAAm) 공중합체의 저임계 용해온도 (lower critical solution temperature, LCST)에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 N-isopropyl acrylamide (NIPAAm)와 acrylic acid (AAc)를 선택하여 온도 감응성과 pH 감응성을 동시에 지니는 pH/온도감응성 고분자를 합성하였다.합성된 고분자들을 FT-IR과 적정실험을 통해 확인하였다. 고분자전해질로서 poly(allylamine) (PAA)과 poly(L-lysine)(PLL)을 사용하여 pH 2로부터 12에 이르는 넓은 범위의 pH 영역에서 고분자전해질 복합체 형성이 pH/온도감응성 고분자의 LCST에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 수용액상에서 poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc)중 PNIPAAm의 LCST는 cloud-point 측정 방법으로 결정하였다. 또한 역적정 실험을 통해 공중합체 중의 AAc 함량을 결정하고 AAc의 이온화 정도가 LCST에 미치는 영향을 조사하였다. 수용액상에서 poly(NIPAAm-co-AAc) 중 PNIPAAm의 LCST는 pH, 고분자전해질의 존재 유무, AAc의 함량, 그리고 고분자 사슬에 존재하는 전하밀도 등에 큰 영향을 받았다. 고분자전해질 복합체는 PAAc의 pKa와 PAA또는 PLL의 pKb 사이인 중성영역에서 형성됐으며 PNIPAAm의 LCST에 미치는 PLL의 영향은 PAA에 비해 크게 나타났다.

본 연구는 온도와 pH변화에 따른 처리특성을 S-COD, T-COD, SS, 처리율의 경시변화, 슬러지전환율, SVI 및 유출수 pH의 변화 등을 중심으로 연속포기식과 간헐포기식의 활성슬러지법의 처리특성을 비교하였다. 실험결과 온도보청계수($\theta$)는 연속포기시 1.0~1.061, 간헐포기시는 1.0~1.086으로 나타나 극미하기는 하나 간헐포기시가 온도에 민감한 것으로 나타났으며, 슬러지전환율은 간헐포기시가 연속포기시에 비해 적은 것으로 나타나 보다 경제적이었다. 한편 pH를 변화시킬 경우 양 반응기 모두 산 쪽에서 미미한 악화를 보이나 알칼리 쪽에서는 개선됨을 보여주었고, 전체적으로 처리수의 수질과 유출수의 pH 변화폭 등을 고려할 때 연속포기시에 비해 간헐포기시가 양호하였다.

To determine effectively the chitinolytic activity of rCHT1 from the hard tick H. longicornis expressed in baculovirus-mediated Spodoptera frugtperda (Sf) 9 cells, a simple and sensitive assay system was established in solid phase using agarose gel containing ethylene glycol chitin as substrate. The various factors affecting the efficacy of the assay were also investigated. The effects of various temperature, dosages of proteins, pH of media and time courses of reaction were examined to verify the sensitivity of assay for chitinolytic activity of rCHT1 protein. It was found that the optimal reactive conditions were $37^{\circ}C$ of temperature, 12 to 15 hours of reactive times, $0.1{\mu}g$ of protein concentration and pH 5 to 7 of media. Using the assay system designed, the functional activities of H. longicornis rCHT1l protein could be evaluated simply and sensitively.

Consumers demand fresh and high-quality eggs. Egg quality may be represented by shell color, shell weight, egg weight, shell thickness, shell density, albumen height, yolk color, albumen pH and viscosity. Various factors such as strain, age of hen, storage temperature, humidity, the presence of $CO_2$ and storage time affect egg quality. Therefore, we investigated the effects of storage time and temperature on egg quality to define the freshness of Korean market eggs. A total of 1,800 eggs were used for this experiment and were separated into 45 treatments with 40 eggs in each. The treatments were consisted of 15 storage periods (2 d to 30 d) and 3 storage temperatures ($2^{\circ}C$, $12^{\circ}C$, $25^{\circ}C$). Each egg was weighed and broken, and the height of the thick albumen, Haugh units (HU), egg shell color and yolk color were measured by a QCM+system. We also observed the physiochemical properties of eggs such as yolk pH, albumen pH and albumen viscosity. The egg weight, shell weight, albumen height, HU and albumen viscosity significantly decreased with increasing storage time and temperature. However, the albumen and yolk pH significantly increased with increasing storage period and temperature. The interaction effects between the storage period and temperature were significant for shell weight, shell density, egg weight, albumen height, HU, yolk color, yolk pH, albumen pH and albumen viscosity. In the analysis of the correlation with egg quality, the storage temperature exhibited a higher correlation coefficient than the storage period. In conclusion, storage time and temperature are the major factors affecting egg quality, but the storage temperature is a more sensitive determinant of egg quality deterioration compared with the storage period.

본 연구는 페놀의 초기 홉착량, 온도, pH가 유기용매에 의한 페놀 탈착에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위한 것으로 methanol, acetone, N,N-dimethylformamide(DMF)를 유기용매로 사용하였다. 초기 흡착량은 166.1mg/g, 180.7mg/g, 197.9mg/g의 세 경우, 온도는 $15{\sim}55^{\circ}C$까지 $10^{\circ}C$ 간격으로 다섯 온도 조건, pH는 산성, 중성, 염기성에서의 페놀 탈착율 변화를 살펴보았다. 페놀의 탈착은 용매의 극성 모멘트와 비례하여 methanol < acetone < DMF 순으로 나타났으며, acetone과 DMF의 경우에는 탈착율이 약 90% 정도로 유사하였다. 초기 흡착량이 증가할수록 용매에 의한 페놀 탈착율은 직선적으로 감소하였으며, DMF에 의한 탈착율 감소 정도가 가장 완만한 것으로 미루어 초기 흡착량이 DMF 탈착 성능에 미치는 영향이 가장 적은 것으로 나타났다. 온도가 높아질수록 페놀 탈착도 증가하였으며, methanol의 증가폭이 가장 큰 것으로 미루어 methanol에 의한 페놀 탈착반응이 온도에 가장 민감함을 알 수 있다. 용매 pH가 높아질수록 페놀 탈착율도 증가하였으며, 특히 methanol의 경우는 pH 12에서 페놀의 탈착율이 10% 이상 급격히 증가되었으며, 이는 methanol의 탈착 능력이 pH의 영향을 가장 많이 받는 것으로 추정된다. 세 용매 중에서 methanol의 페놀 탈착율이 가장 떨어졌으나, 온도와 pH를 조절하게 된다면 acetone, DMF와 유사한 탈착율을 보였으며, methanol이 가장 저렴하기 때문에 적정한 탈착 조건을 선정 적용한다면 경쟁력있는 재생 용매로서 가능성을 지니고 있다고 판단된다.
