A review is made on the chemical vapor deposition polymerization (CVDP) of insoluble and infusible poly(arylenevinylene)s and its applications to nanoscience. Poly(p-phenylenevinylene) (PPV), poly(naphthylenevinylene)s, poly(2,5-thinenylenevinylene) (PTV), and other homologous polymers containing oligothiophenes could be prepared by the CVDP method in the form of films, tubes, and fibers of nano dimensions. They would be readily converted to graphitic carbons of different structures by thermal treatment. Field emission FE) of carbonized PPV nanotubes, photoconductivity of carbonized PPV/PPV bilayer nanotubes and nanofilms also were studied.

Photo-mutagenic compounds have been known to alter skin cancer rates by acting as initiators or by affecting subsequent steps in carcinogenesis. The objectives of this study are to investigate the utility of photo-chromosomal aberration (photo-CA) assay for detecting photo-clastogens, and to evaluate its ability to predict rodent photocarcinogenicity. Photo-CA assay was performed with five test substances that demonstrated positive results in photo-carcinogenicity tests: 8-Methoxypsoralen (photoactive substance that forms DNA adducts in the presence of ultraviolet A irradiation), chlorpromazine (an aliphatic phenothiazine an alpha-adrenergic blocking agent), lomefloxacin (an antibiotic in a class of drugs called fluoroquinolones), anthracene (a tricyclic aromatic hydrocarbon a basic substance for production of anthraquinone, dyes, pigments, insecticides, wood preservatives and coating materials) and Retinoic acid (a retinoid compound closely related to vitamin A). For the best discrimination between the test substance-mediated genotoxicity and the undesirable genotoxicity caused by direct DNA absorption, a UV dose-response of the cells in the absence of the test substances was firstly analyzed. All 5 test substances showed a positive outcome in photo-CA assay, indicating that the photo-CA test is very sensitive to the photo-genotoxic effect of UV irradiation. With this limited data-set, an investigation into the predictive value of this photo-CA test for determining the photo-carcinogenicity showed that photo-CA assay has the high ability of a test to predict carcinogenicity. Therefore, the photo-CA test using mammalian cells seems to be a sensitive method to evaluate the photo-carcinogenic potential of new compounds.

The electronic structure of photo-skinsensitizing psoralens has been investigated by the FMO method. On the basis of theoretical calculations, optimum value of indices (Ft=0.33) has been proposed which corresponds to the sum of frontier electron density. The results indicate that this index is closely correlated with photo-skinsensitizing carcinogenic activity. The formations of molecular complexes between DNA and photo-skinsensitizing carcinogens is discussed in terms of charge transfer interactions.

In this paper, the etching studies for n-GaN were carried out using the wet chemical, the photo-enhanced-chemical, and the electro-chemical etching methods. The experimental results show that n-GaN is etched in diluted NaOH solution at room temperture and the etched thickness of NaOH and electron concentrations. Te etching rate of n-GaN samples with n.simeq.1*10$^{19}$ cm$^{-3}$ were used to compare the photo-enhanced-chemical etching with the electrochemical etching methods. The removed thickness was 680.angs./25min by the electrochemical etching methods. The removed thickness was 680 .angs./25min by the electrochemical etching method ad 784.angs./25min by the photoenhanced-chemical etching method. The patterns are 100.mu.m*100.mu.m rectangulars covered with SiO$_{2}$film. It is shown that the profile of etched side-wall of the pattern is vertical without dependance of the n-GaN orientations.

A periodic away of zinc oxide(ZnO) micro-rods as fabricated by using chemical bath deposition and photo-lithography. Vertically aligned ZnO micro-rods array was successfully grown by chemical bath deposition method on ZnO seed layer. The ZnO seed layer was deposited on glass and the patterning was made by standard photo-lithography technique. The selective growth of ZnO micro-rods as achieved with the masked ZnO seed layer. The fabricated ZnO micro rods were found to be single crystalline and have grown along hexagonal c-axis direction of (0002) which is same as the preferred growth orientation of ZnO seed layer.

Di-tyrosine photo-crosslinking of silk fibroin (SF) is recently highlighted as a biocompatible hydrogel fabrication process, because this method does not need potentially harmful chemical species. However, the resulting crosslinking density is often insufficient to obtain a mechanically stiff hydrogel unless additional oxygen is provided during the reaction. In this study, we proposed a combinational crosslinking method to form an SF hydrogel via the di-tyrosine photo-crosslinking with riboflavin (photoinitiator) and physical interaction of SF chains. In the UV light-irradiated SF solution, small particles formed and these particles promoted β-sheet formation of SF molecules, resulting in quick gelation. The di-tyrosine photo-crosslinking produced nuclei that might trigger regular assembly of SF molecules in high temperature condition. Conclusively, this process would contribute to a development of biocompatible hydrogel fabrication for biomedical uses of SF hydrogels.

Semiconductor photo-catalysis offers the potential for complete removal of toxic chemicals through its effective and broad potential applications. Various new compounds and materials for chemical catalysts were synthesized in the past few decades. As one of the most important II-VI group semiconductors, zinc sulfide (ZnS) with a wide direct band gap of 3.8 eV has been extensively investigated and used as a catalyst in photochemistry, environmental protection and in optoelectronic devices. In this work, the ZnS films and nanostructures have been successfully prepared by wet chemical method. We show that the agglomerates with four successive scales are always observed in the case of the homogeneous precipitation of zinc sulfide. Hydrodynamics plays a crucial role to determine the size of the largest agglomerates; however, other factors should be invoked to interpret the complete structure. In addition, studies of the photocatalytic properties by exposure to UV light irradiation demonstrated that ZnS nanocrystals (NCs) are good photo-catalysts as a result of the rapid generation of electron-hole pairs by photo-excitation and the highly negative reduction potentials of excited electrons. A combination of their unique features of high surface-to volume ratios, carrier dynamics and rich photo-catalytic suggests that these ZnS NCs will find many interesting applications in semiconductor photo-catalysis, solar cells, environmental remediation, and nano-devices.

Pusan is the largest coastal city with a population of about four mi18ion in Korea. Because of increased and confused traffic, photochemical air pollution become a major urban environmental problem recently. The photo-chemical air pollution weather forecasting method preciser than existing air pollution forecast method has been developed to forecast ozone episode days with meteorological conditions using the data measured at 7 air quality continuous monitoring stations from lune to September using 2 years (1994, 1995). The method developed in present study showed higher percentage correct and skill score than existing air pollution forecasting in KMA ( Korea Meteorological Administration).

본 연구에서는 ECR플라즈마 화학증착법을 이용하여 반응기내 압력의 변화에 따라 수소화된 무정형 실리콘막을 증착하고 박막내 수소의 함량과 결합구조 및 전기적 특성을 조사하였다. 일반적인 CVD에 의해 제조된 a-Si:H막은 증착속도가 증가할수록 광감도는 감소하지만 ECR플라즈마의 경우 증착속도가 증가할수록 광감도가 향상되었다. 마이크로파 출력과 사일렌/수소 희석비, 반응기내 압력등이 동일한 실험 조건에서 증착시간에 따른 막의 두께는 선형적으로 증가하고 막내에 함유된 수소의 농도는 일정하지만, 반응시간이 짧은 경우 막내에 $SiH_2$결합이 SiH결합보다 많이 형성되어 광전도도를 저하시킬 수 있다. 반응기내 압력이 증가함에 따라 박막내에 SiH결합이 증가하여 광학 에너지 갭을 줄여 광전도도를 향상시킬 수 있었으나 암전도도의 증가로 광감도는 감소하였다. 따라서 양질의 박막을 얻기 위해서는 압력이 낮고 수소기체의 양이 적은 조건에서 성장시켜야 한다.
