Pyrophosphoric modified polyesters (TATBs) were synthesized by polycondensation of adipic acid, trimethylolpropane, 1,4-butanediol, and tetramethylene bis(orthophosphate). Two-component PU flame-retardant coatings (TATBCs) were prepared by blending TATBs with HDI-Biuret. Most of the physical properties of the flame-retardant coatings were comparable to those of non-flame-retardant coatings. Coatings containing 10 and 15wt% 1,4-butanediol, TATBC-10C and TATBC-15C were not flammable in the vertical flame-retardancy test.

Provitamin B5 liquid crystal (PVB5-LC) was the new emulsion system to enhance moisturizing activity on the skin. In this study, it should be mentioned that PVB5-LC could be prepared with the main compound of hydrogenated lecithin (HL) in oil-in water (O/W) emulsion. The key ingredient of humectants was contained 2% of provitamin B5 (PVB5) into the PVB5-LC. The best suitable compositions of PVB5-LC were made from 4.0 wt% of HL, 4.0 wt% of cetostearyl alcohol (CSA) as emulsifier and gelling agent, 3.0 wt% of 1,3-butylene glycol (1,3-BG) and 2.0 wt% of glycerin as moisturizers, 3.0 wt% of cyclomethicone (CMC), 3.0 wt% of isononanoate (ININ), 3.0 wt% of capric/caprylic triglyceride (CCTG), 3.0 wt% of macadamia nut oil (MNO) as emollients. As the analytical result of PVB5-LC, it could know that the distribution range of particle size was 0.14 to 12.37 m level (mean size 3.24 m). It was certified the multi lamellar phase around the droplet of liquid crystal when observed the droplet particles through a polarization microscope. And it clinically was tested the effectiveness of moisturizing activity (in-vivo) compared with control sample (O/W emulsion). The effectiveness of moisturizing activity of PVB5-LC with Skincon-200EX after 6 hours went up 49.0% (p〈0.05, n=20) whereas the effectiveness of moisturizing activity of generally O/W emulsion cream was 25.7% (p〈005, n=20). Also, in case of Comeometer CM-825, the moisturizing activity of PVB5-LC after 6 hours rose 36.6% (p〈0.05, n=20) whereas the effectiveness of moisturizing activity of generally O/W emulsion cream was 10.8%. Therefore, it was known that the effectiveness moisturizing activity of PVB5-LC with HL was remarkably superior compared with O/W emulsion cream.

We studied electrochemical characteristics of Langmuir-Blodgett(LB) films by using cyclic voltammetry with a three-electrode system. An Ag/AgCl as a reference electrode, a platinum wire as a counter electrode and LB film-coated indium tin oxide(ITO) as a working electrode were used to study electrochemical characteristics at a various concentration of NaClO4 solution. LB films were reduced from initial potential to -1350 mV, continuously oxidized to l650mV and returned to the initial point. The scan rate was l00mV/s. The monolayer surface morphology of the LB film have been measured by Atomic Force Microscope(AFM). As a result, We comfirmed that the microscopic properties of LB film by AFM showed the good orientation of momolayer molecules and the thickness of monolayer was 3.5-4.lnm. The cyclic voltammograms(CV) of the ITO-coated glass showed the peak potentials for the reduction-oxidation reation. LB films of 4-octyl-4'-(5-carboxypentamethyleneoxy) azobenzene(8A5H) / L-α-phosphayidyl choline, dilauroyl(DLPC) seemed to be irreversible process caused by only the oxidation current from the cyclic voltammogram. The current of oxidatation increased at cyclic voltammogram by increasing 8A5H density in LB films. The diffusivity(D) of LB films increased with increasing of a 8A5H amount and was inversely proportional to the concentration of NaClO4 solution.

Two-component polyurethane flame retardant coatings (ATTBC) were prepared by blending polyisocyanate (TDI-adduct) with ATTBs mentioned at the previous paper. Most of the physical properties of the flame retardant coatings were comparable to those of non-flame retardant coatings. Especially, the hardness, impact resistance, and accelerated weathering resistance were remarkably improved with the increase of the content of 1,4-butanediol. Coatings containing 10 and 15 wt% 1,4-butanediol, ATTBC-10C and ATTBC-15C, were not flammable in vertical flame-retardancy test. Their char area recorded 1.1~11.6 cm2 in 45˚ eckel burner method.

From these results, it was proved that the SADA-6 exhibits a good degreasing power. Foam heights measured immediately after foaming by Ross & Miles method and Ross & Clark method at 6wt% and 60 ℃ were 16mm and 40mm, respectively. SADA-6 was proved a good low foaming degreasing agent.

The impregnated activated carbons were prepared by the incipient wetness method with the contents of KIO3 varied from 1.0~10 wt% as the impregnation material. The specific surface area and micropore volume of the rice hulls activated carbon were 2,600~2,800 m2/g and 1.1~1.4 cc/g, respectively. With increasing the contents of impregnation materials, the surface area and micropore volume decreased by 3~21%. However, The amounts of hydrogen sulfide adsorbed increased by 2.1~2.8 times depending on the impregnation content. The optimum contents of KIO3 were 2.4 wt%. Although the breakthrough time and adsorption capacity of hydrogen sulfide decreased with increasing temperature in the case of the unimpregnated activated carbons, they increased by 1.2~ 3.2 times for the case of the impregnated activated carbons. The optimum aspect ratio(L/D) was 1.0 and the adsorption amount of hydrogen sulfide enhanced with increasing the gas flow rate. The regeneration temperature was determined as 400℃ from the TGA experiment. The adsorption capacity of hydrogen sulfide with the impregnated activated carbon decreased gradually as the regeneration continued. The hydrogen sulfide adsorption amount of the regenerated activated carbon up to 4 times was still higher than that of the unimpregnated activated carbon.

Squid ink was added to the low salt fermented squid by 4% of concentration and ripened at 10˚C for 6 weeks and at 20˚C for 28 days. The effect of the squid ink on the non-volatile organic acids of low salt fermented squid were investigated. The results are as follows; The non-volatile organic acid in the salt fermented squid without addition of the squid ink was examined and the result showed that lactic and acetic acids were the major organic acids even if very small amount of citric and oxalic acids were detected. In the squid ink added to the low salt fermented squid, total quantity of non-volatile organic acid in the latter part of the ripening was lower than no treatment groups.

An intermediate, tetramethylene bis (orthophosphate), was prepared by the esterification of pyrophosphoric acid and l,4-butanediol. Then pyrophosphoric-containing modified polyesters (ATTBs) were synthesized by polycondensation of tetramethylene bis(orthophosphate), trimethylolpropane, adipic acid, and l,4-butanediol. The content of l,4-butanediol was varied from 10 to 20wt% for the reaction. The increase of the amount of l,4-butanediol in the synthesis of ATTBs resulted in increase in average molecular weight and decrease in kinematic viscosity owing to the excellent flowability and reactivity of l,4-butanediol.

LiMn2O4 catalyst for CO2 decomposition was synthesized by oxidation method for 30 min at 600℃ in an electric furnace under air condition using manganese(II) nitrate (Mn(NO3)2·6H2O), Lithium nitrate (LiNO3) and Urea (CO(NH2)2). The synthesized catalyst was reduced by H2 at various temperatures for 3 hr. The reduction degree of the reduced catalysts were measured using the TGA. And then CO2 decomposition rate was measured using the reduced catalysts. Phase-transitions of the catalysts were observed after CO2 decomposition reaction at an optimal decomposition temperature. As the result of X-ray powder diffraction analysis, the synthesized catalyst was confirmed that the catalyst has the spinel structure, and also confirmed that when it was reduced by H2, the phase of LiMn2O4 catalyst was transformed into Li2MnO3 and Li1-2δMn2-δO4-3δ-δ' of tetragonal spinel phase.

The optimal reduction temperature of the catalyst with H2 was confirmed to be 450℃(maximum weight-increasing ratio 9.47%) in the case of LiMn2O4 through the TGA analysis. Decomposition rate(%) using the LiMn2O4 catalyst showed the 67%. The crystal structure of the synthesized LiMn2O4 observed with a scanning electron microscope(SEM) shows cubic form. After reduction, LiMn2O4 catalyst became condensed each other to form interface. It was confirmed that after CO2 decomposition, crystal structure of LiMn2O4 catalyst showed that its particle grew up more than that of reduction. Phase-transition by reduction and CO2 decomposition ; Li2MnO3 and Li1-2δMn2-δO4-3δ-δ' of tetragonal spinel phase at the first time of CO2 decomposition appear like the same as the above contents. Phase-transition at 2~5 time ; Li2MnO3 and Li1-2δMn2-δO4-3δ-δ' of tetragonal spinel phase by reduction and LiMn2O4 of spinel phase after CO2 decomposition appear like the same as the first time case. The result of the TGA analysis by catalyst reduction ; The first time, weight of reduced catalyst increased by 9.47%, for 2~5 times, weight of reduced catalyst increased by average 2.3% But, in any time, there is little difference in the decomposition ratio of CO2. That is to say, at the first time, it showed 67% in CO2 decomposition rate and after 5 times reaction of CO2 decomposition, it showed 67% nearly the same as the first time.

The core-shell latex particles were prepared by sequential emulsion polymerization of alkyl methacrylate and styrene(ST) by using an water-soluble initiator(APS) after preparing monomer pre-emulsion in the presence of an anionic surfactant(SDBS). In organic/organic core-shell polymerization, the pre-emulsion method, which minimized required quantity of sulfactant, has been used to increase the conversion rate and the stability of core-shell latex particles as well as to reduce the formation of secondary particle that cause problems of soap-free emulsion during shell polymerization. We used several methods to observe the core-shell structure. The core-shell structure was studied by measuring pH change during hydrolysis by NaOH, glass transition temperature(Tg) by differential scanning calorimeter(DSC), morphology of latex by transmission electron microscope(TEM) and change of particle size and distribution by a particle analyzer.

Environmental friendly acrylics/urea high-solid paints (BEHCU) were prepared through the curing reaction of acrylics resin(BEHC) containing 70wt% of solids content and butylated urea curing agent. BEHC was synthesized by addition copolymerization of caprolactone acrylate(CLA), 2-hydroxypropyl methacrylate(2-HPMA), ethyl methacrylate, and n-butyl acrylate. The addition polymerization of these monomers, especially including flexible CLA monomer and 2-HPMA monomer with OH funtional group, under appropriate reaction conditions resulted in polymers with controlled glass transition temperature(Tg) and crosslinking density. The molecular weight(Mw) of these polymers(BEHCs) was 2940~3240 and polydispersity (Mw/Mn) was in the range of 1.61~1.72. The viscosity and the molecular weight of these acrylic resins increased with increasing Tg. The coated films were prepared using curing reaction between BEHC resin and butylated urea curing agent at 100℃ for 30 minutes. Our experimental resulted showed that enhancement of the coating properties such as adhesion, flexibility, impact resistance, water resistance, and abrasion resistance could be expected through introducing CLA component in acrylic resin for the high-solid content acrylics/urea coatings.

In order to prepare a softener, alkyl imidazoline salt, fatty carbamide salt, and fatty polyamide salt were synthesized first, and then the synthesized salts were blended. The prepared softeners were applied to acrylic fibers, and then several properties were tested. As a result, the prepared softeners show good softening and lubricating properties, and they also show a little antistatic property. Through bending resistance tests and measurements of feeling change of acrylic fibers treated with the softeners, it was proved that the prepared softeners are durable softeners.

Self-diffusion coefficients of colloidal ass9Ciation structures in the aqueous solutions of anionic ammonium dodecyl sulfate (ADS) and cationic octadecyltrimethylammonium chloride (OTAC) surfactants were measured by pulsed-gradient spin echo NMR. The results were interpreted on the basis of the ADS/OTAC/water phase diagram. Crossing the phase boundaries, significant changes in self diffusion coefficients were observed and well correlated to the phase diagram. For the micelles their apparent radii were obtained from Stokes-Einstein equation. Their values were 15 for the ADS micelles and 54 a for the OTAC micelles, respectively. For vesicles which were formed spontaneously at different relative amounts of the surfactants and total surfactant concentrations, the radius was measured as 50 to 200 nm. This result is in fair agreement with those by TEM and light scattering.

A new process for polymeric gate insulator in field-effect transistors was proposed. Fourier transform infrared absorption spectra were measured in order to identify ODPA-ODA polyimide. Its breakdown field and electrical conductivity were measured. All-organic thin-film transistors with a stacked-inverted top-contact structure were fabricated to demonstrate that thermally evaporated polyimide films could be used as a gate insulator. As a result, the transistor performances with evaporated polyimide was similar with spin-coated polyimide. It seems that the mass-productive in-situ solution-free processes for all-organic thin-film transistors are possible by using the proposed method without vacuum breaking.
