Novel dual responsive pectin hydrogels composed from poly(acrylamidoglycolic acid-co-vinylcaprolactam)/Pectin (PAV-PC) and also PAV-PC hydrogels are used as templates for the production of silver nanoparticles. 5-Fluorouracil is an anticancer drug and has been loaded in situ into PAV-PC hydrogels. Structure and morphology characterization of PAV-PC hydrogels were investigated by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, differential scanning calorimetry, thermo gravimetric analysis, X-ray diffraction studies, scanning electron microscopy and transmission electron microscopy. The results revealed a molecular level dispersion of the drug in PAV-PC hydrogels. In vitro release of 5-fluorouracil from the PAV-PC hydrogels has been carried out in GIT fluids as well as in various temperatures. 5-Fluorouracil released from PAV-PC hydrogels was 50% at pH 1.2, and 85% at pH 7.4 within 24 h. The release profile was characterized with PAV-PC hydrogels and initial burst effect was significantly reduced in two buffer media (1.2 and 7.4), followed by a continuous and controlled release phase, the drug release mechanism from polymer was due to Fickian diffusion. In situ fabrication of silver nanoparticles inside the hydrogel network via the reduction of sodium borohydrate by PAV-PC chains led to hydrogel nanocomposites. The diameter of the nanocomposites was about 50-100 nm, suitable for uptake within the gastrointestinal tract due to their nanosize range and mucoadhesive properties. These nanocomposite PAV-PC hydrogels showed strong antimicrobial activity towards Bacillus subtilis (G+ve) and Escherichia coli (G-ve).

4,4'-(Hexafluoroisopropylidene) diphthalic anhydride (6FDA) 와 1,3-bis (3-aminophenoxy) benzene(BAPB)의 조성에 2,2-bis [4-(4-aminophenoxy)phenyl] hexafluoropropane (BAPP)를 다양한 몰 비에 따른 폴리이미드(PI) 공중합체를 합성하였다. PI 공중합체 필름들은 여러 열처리 과정을 통하여 용액 캐스팅 (solution casting)된 폴리아믹산(PAA)으로부터 얻었다. 퓨리에 변환 적외선 분광기(FT-IR), 넓은 각 X-선 회절(XRD), 전계 방사형 주사 전자 현미경(FE-SEM) 시차 주사 열량계(DSC)와 열 중량 분석기(TGA), 만능 인장 시험기 (UTM) 그리고 자외선-가시광선 흡광도기 (UV-Vis. spectrometer) 등을 사용하여 PI 공중합체 필름의 열적 기계적 성질, 모폴로지 및 광학 투명도를 측정하였다. PI 공중합체 필름의 유리전이온도 및 최종 강도와 초기 탄성률은 BAPP의 몰 비가 증가할수록 증가하였으나, 초기분해온도는 BAPP의 몰 비 증가에 무관하게 일정하였다. BAPP가 charge transfer complex를 형성하는 이유로 BAPP 농도가 증가함에 따라 PI 공중합체 필름의 투명도는 약간씩 감소하였다.

High quality nanoparticles of neodymium barium niobium ($NdBa_2NbO_6$) perovskites have been synthesized using an auto ignition combustion technique for the first time. The nanoparticles thus obtained have been characterized by powder X-ray diffraction, thermo gravimetric analysis, differential thermal analysis, Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, Raman spectroscopy and transmission electron microscopy. UV-Visible absorption and photoluminescence spectra of the samples are also recorded. The structural analysis shows that the nano powder is phase pure with the average particle size of 35 nm. The band gap determined for $NdBa_2NbO_6$ is 3.9 eV which corresponds to UV-radiation for optical inter band transition with a wavelength of 370nm. The nanopowder could be sintered to 96% of the theoretical density at $1325^{\circ}C$ for 2h. The ultrafine cuboidal nature of nanopowders with fewer degree of agglomeration improved the sinterability for compactness at relatively lower temperature and time. During the sintering process the wide band gap semiconducting behavior diminishes and the material turns to a high permittivity dielectric. The microstructure of the sintered surface was examined using scanning electron microscopy. The striking value of dielectric constant ${\varepsilon}_r=43$, loss factor tan ${\delta}=1.97{\times}10^{-4}$ and the observed band gap value make it suitable for many dielectric devices.

Mg-BCP(Mg Substituted BCP)를 제조하기 위하여 $Ca(NO_3)_2{\cdot}4H_2O$(Katayama chemical, Japan)과 $(NH_4)_2{\cdot}HPO_4$ (Junsei chemical, Japan), $Mg(NO_3)_2{\cdot}6H_2O$(Junsei chemical, Japan)를 출발물질로 공침법(co-precipitation process)을 이용하여 합성하였다. 제조된 분말의 마그네슘의 첨가에 따른 분말의 분광학적 특성은 FT-IR(MAGNA-IR 560, Nicolet)을 통하여 분석하였으며, SEM(S-4200, Hitachi)을 통하여 미세구조를 분석하였다. XRD 회절피크의 면적적분강도를 Integral Analysis (Rigaku, Japan)를 이용하여 HAp와 ${\beta}$-TCP의 비율을 확인하였다. 1.0 wt% 마그네슘이 첨가된 BCP 샘플의 경우 Hank's solution에서의 2주 침적 후 표면에 침상의 HAp로 추정되는 결정이 성장하였다. 이러한 미세구조의 변화는 생활성을 가지는 마그네슘의 첨가가 BCP 조직 내에서 표면의 활성을 증가시켜 결정의 성장을 촉진시킨 것으로 판단된다.
