The excess volumes of mixing of benzyl alcohol, ethyl alcohol, halothane, and procaine in vesicle and suspensions of several lipids have been determined at 25℃ using a excess volume dilatometer. The potency of general anesthetics has long been known to be correlated with lipid solubility. Denaturations of the bacteriorhodopsin, which is a sole membrane protein in the purple membrane of Halobacteriun Halobium, were studied by UV/Vis absorption changes. The excess volumes of mixing of benzyl alcohol and procaine in egg lecithin were all found to be negative and this result was confirmed as Miller's supposition.
Many alternatives to Trichlorothane & Trichlorotrifluoroethane mainly used as cleaning solvent for industrial parts are developed and commercialized because the solvent is scheduled to phaseout after 1996. Considering there are many kinds of parts and contaminants in all parts cleaning, It is essential to investigating the characteristics and performance of the alternatives prior to use. For the contaminant of a standard oil, waters, hydrocarbon and halogen parts which are the comercially available and promising alternatives were experimented at the same condition of Trichlorothane & Trichlorotrifluoroethane to check the cleaning performance. Overally, the removal efficiency of halogen solvent parts was better than that of hydrocarbon or waters parts for removing the standard oil used in this experiment.
It is well known that the metallo- phthalocyanine (MPcs) are sensitive to toxic gaseous molecules such as NO2 and also chemically and thermally stable, Therefore, lots of MPcs have been studied for the potential chemical sensor for NO2 gas using quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) or electrical conductivity. In this study, ultra-thin films of octa(2-ethylhexyloxy)copper-phthalocyanine were prepared by Langmuir-Blodgett method and characterized by using UV-VIS absortion spectroscopy and ellipsometry. Transfer condition, and characterization of LB films were investigated and preliminary results of current-voltage(I-V) characteristics of these films exposed to NO2 gas as a function of film thickness and temperature were discussed.
In the separation of toluene/n-heptane mixture by the emulsion type liquid membrane in an batch system, the effect of surfactant on the separation factor and membrane stability was studied over the surfactant concentration ranging form 0.1 to 1.5wt% at the contact time of 5 and 10 minutes. and the settling time of 5 and 10 minutes. The surfactant used was sodium lauryl sulfate. The separation factor reached its maximum value at the surfactant concentration of 0.5wt% for surfantant. It was found that the percentage of membrane breakup reached its minimum values and the separation factor showed its maximum value at the surfactant concentration of 0.5wt%. which confirmed that efficient separation could be effect when emulsion liquid membrane was stable because of low membrane breakup.
EMA-co-DAMA were synthesized from 2-diethylaminoethyl metacrylate and ethylhexyl metacrylate in acrylmonomer. To facilitate water emulsification, acrylic copolymer was cationized by acetic acid to produce acetated acrylic copolymer. The structures of the synthesized copolymer and acetated copolymers were confirmed by IR, NMR, and molecular weight was measure by GPC, and C.H.N elemental analysis. Acetated acrylic copolymers were perfectly emulsified in water and showed increased emulsion stability. Polymer dispersion for cement modifier[(PDCM-PED) water proof agent of cement for concrete in building construction] was prepared by blending of the guaternized acrylic copolymer syndisized above, sodium silicate, sodium gluconate and oleic acid emulsion. The result with prepared polymer dispersion of cement modifier was examined, and it was found that excellent waterprooffing effect ; Water permeability ratio is 0.50 under the water pressure of 100g/cm2 and 0.60 under 3kg/cm2, and water absorption ratio is 0.42~0.50 and 1.0~1.02 compressive strength ratio at mixed of water/PDCM-PED is 50 times.
In this study, sensitizing dye was prepared by the reaction of 2-methyl-3-sulfopropyl-4,5-naphthothiazolium(inner salt) with triethyl orthobenzoate in the presence of triethylamine. The product was identified by using various analytical tools such as elemental analyzer, IR spectrophotometer, UV-Vis spectrophotometer, 1H-NMR spectrometer, TGA and DSC. Therefore, it was concluded that 9-phenyl-3,3'-bis(3-sulfopropyl)-4,5,4',5'-naphthothiazolo carbocyanine triethyl ammonium salt can be used as red-sensitizing dye for the spectral sensitization of photographic emulsion.
In acid-catalyzed acetal cyclization of long aliphatic aldehydes(R=n-C7H15 ; n-C9H19 ; n-C11H23) with 1,1,1-tris(hydroxymethyl)propane, 2-alkyl-5-hydroxymethyl-5-ethyl-1,3-dioxanes were obtained. The final products, sodium 2-alkyl-5-(sulfonatedpropylethermethyl)-5-ethyl-1,3-propanesultion in the presence of sodium hydride. These compounds were a new group of destructible surfactants which were readily hydrolyzed and oxidized in natural water reservoirs. Physical properties of these new compounds involved some surface properties such as Krafft point(Kp), critical micelle concentration(cmc), surface tension of aqueous solutions near cmc(γmin), foaming power, emulsion power and hydrolysis properties were determined. The destructible surfactants containing 1,3-dioxane ring were synthesized to about 85±5.5% yield. The cmc values of the compounds by ring method were assumed to 0.5~5.0×10-3mol/L range and surface tensions at cmc were 29.5~33.0dyne/cm respectively at 25℃. The foaming power and foam stability were 170~230mm and 52~135mm respectively at 1×10-2mol/L, foam was occurred rarely below 1×10-3mol/L. The emulsion property of liquid paraffin was better than that of soybean oil. For hydrolysis property with ph and time, these compounds were decomposed within about 200minutes at ph1~2. Hopefully these compounds are expected to be a good O/W emulsifier that have decomposability in acid and may be used in the process which do not need foaming.

Metachromatic properties of admixture of thionine and methylene blue(MB) in aqueous solution and phospholipid bilayer membrane have been studied by absorption spectroscopy. When thionine and MB were mixed, new coaggregate has been formed because of MB was redistributed to thionine aggregate. In phosphlipid bilayer membrane system, the highly concentrated thionine was easily formed the coaggregation with MB moiety independent of MB concentration, and absorption band of admixture were more transferred to short wavelength than aqueous system. In monomeric thionine concentration, the coaggregation band was observed at the middle wavelength between the site of monomeric thionine and the site of dimeric MB in the presence of lipid bilayer membrane.

The reaction of intermediate cyan coupler with CD-3(color development agent) was shown cyan color.
We have synthesized the water-insoluble chitosan derivative, N-dithiocarboxy chitosan sodium salt, through the reaction of chitosan with carbon disulfide in the presence of alkali metal hydroxide, Chitosan itself has been prepared using chitin, one of the most abundant compounds in nature, as a starting material. To elucidate this natural polymer the capacity of adsorbing heavy metal ions, we have performed adsorption experiments using chitosan derivatives of various average molecular weights with different contents of sulfur. The effect of pH, adsorption time and temperature on adsorption efficiency was also studied. The adsorbent derived from chitosan of average molecular weight ranging 5,700~20,000 was shown to have the highest capacity of adsorbing heavy metal ions. Adsorbing efficiency was increased as the reaction time was increased and as the reaction temperature range of 25~45℃. The adsorption capacity at various pH, however, appeared to vary depending on the heavy metal ions studied.
Essentiality was proposed in the field of lipid by Burr and Burr in 1929. When rats were raised on the fat-free diet, their growth retarded and their skin and tails showed the characteristic deficient symptoms, which were relieved by the addition of Ω6(n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids as linoleic(LA) and arachidonic(AA) acids to the basal diet. LA is dehydrogenated to γ-linolenic acid(GLNA) by δ6 desaturase, then GLNA is 2 carbon chain elongated by elongase to dihomo-γ-linolenic acid(DGLNA), which is desaturated by δ5 desaturase to AA. These acids are called LA family or Ω6(n-6) polyunsaturated fatty acids(PUFA). α-Linolenic acid(ALNA) is converted through the series of desaturation and elongation steps to docosahexaenic acid(DHA) via eicosapentaenoic acid(EPA). These acids belong to ALNA family or Ω3(n-3)PUFA. Human who consume large amounts of EPA and DHA, which are present in fatty fish and fish oils, have increased levels of these two fatty acids in their plasma and tissue lipids at the expense of LA and AA. Alternately, vegetarians, whose intake of LA in high, have more elevated levels of LA and AA and lower levels of EPA and DHA in plasma lipids and in cell membranes than omnivores. AA and EPA are metabolized to substances called eicosanoids. Those derived form AA are known as prostanocids(prostaglandins and prostacyclins) of the 2-types and leukotrienes of the 4-series, whereas those derived from EPA are known as prostanoids of the 3-types and leukotrienes of the 5-series. DGLNA is a precursor of the 1-types of prostaglandins. The metabolites of AA and EPA have competitive functions. Ingestion of EPA from fish or fish oil replaces AA from membrane phospholipids in practically all cells. So this leads to a more physiological state characterized by the production of proatanoids and leukotrienes that have antithrombic, antichemotactic, antivasoconstrictive and antiinflammatory properties. It is evident that Ω3 fatty acids can affect a number of chronic diseases through eicosanoids alone.
Chitosan itself has been prepared using chitin, one of the most abundant compounds in nature, as a starting material. We have synthesized the water-soluble chitosan derivative, N-dithiocarboxy chitosan sodium salt, through the reaction of water-soluble chitosan with carbon disulfide in the presence of alkali metal hydroxide. To elucidate this natural polymer capacity of adsorbing heavy metal ions, we have performed adsorption experiments using the water-soluble chitosan derivative various average molecular weight and of different percent contents of sulfur. The effect of pH, adsorption time and temperature on adsorption efficiency was also studied. The adsorbent derived from water-soluble chitosan of average molecular weight ranging 9,000~120,000 was shown to have the highest capacity of adsorbing heavy metal ions. On the whole, adsorbing efficiency was increased as the reaction time goes longer and also increased as the reaction temperture goes higer in temperture range of 15℃~45℃. The adsorption capacity at various pH, however, was appeared to vary depending on the heavy metal ions studied Judging from these finding, water-soluble N-dithiocarboxy chitosan sodium salt, a derivative of a biodegradable nature polymer, is believed to be a potential adsorbent for heavy metal ions since it not only is shown to lower the concentration of heavy metal ions to below the drainage quality standard, but also it would not cause acidification and hardening of soil which is one of the detrimental effects of synthetic macromolecular adsorbents present.
저분자량 (M=1970)을 갖는 poly(styrene)(PS)와 poly(vinymethylether) (PVME)의 블렌드를 열산화시킬 때 PVME의 분자량 감소 속도는 높은 분자량을 갖는 PS와 PVME의 블렌드를 열산화 시킬 때의 PVME 분자량 감소 속도보다 훨씬 느리다. 열산화 과정 동안 PS의 분자량은 변화하지 않았으며 저분자량의 PS의 일부가 산화된 PVME를 분리할 때 함께 녹음을 알 수 있었다. 저분자량의 PS의 모델 화합물로써 2. 4-diphenylpentane을 합성하였고 1%,5%,10%의 모델 화합물을 PVME에 첨가하여 열산화 시켰다. 이 모델 화합물을 첨가하여 PVME의 열산화를 약간 지연시킬 수 있음을 알 수 있었다.
The antioxidant effects of freeze-drying acorn were examined to find how much the freeze-drying acorn can reduce peroxidized corn oil poisoning, which influenced cholesterol, triglyceride, phospholipids, lipidperoxides, GOT(glutamate oxaloacetate transaminase), GPT(glutamate pyruvate transaminase) in serum, and cholesterol, triglyceride, lipidperoxides, fatty acid of phospholipids, SOD(superoxide dismutase), catalase in liver. In this experiment, male rats of Sprague-Dawley strain were used. The rats were divided into 6 groups, which were fed differently for 5 weeks : basal diet, 10% peroxidized corn oil added to basal diet, 1% acorn flour and 10% peroxidized corn oil added to basal diet, 5% acorn flour and 10% peroxidized corn oil added to basal diet, 10% acorn flour and 10% peroxidized corn oil added to basal diet, and 0.25% tannic acid and 10% peroxidized corn oil added to basal diet. The results were as follows : It was found that the peroxidized corn oil-fed 5 weeks induced the elevation of cholesterol, triglycerides, lipid peroxides, GOT, GPT in serum, and cholesterol, triglycerides, lipid peroxides in liver as compared to the basal diet-fed rats, but the acorn flour-fed rats reduced the elevation of these components. In addition, saturated fatty acid in rat liver phospholipids induced the elevation by feeding of peroxidized corn oil and, on the other hand, the acorn flour-fed rats reduced the elevation of saturated fatty acids. The acorn flour-fed rats reduced the activity of SOD in liver while they enhanced the activity of catalase in liver as compared with the peroxidized corn oil-fed rats.
The procedure to prepare an acrylic emulsion water repellents by blending of arcylic copolymer, activated polyethylene, wax, and emulsifiers was published in the previous paper. After the treatment of the prepared water repellents on a cotton fabrics with and without textile finishing resin, washability, contact angle, tearing strength, and crease recovery were tested. As the result, there were remarkable improvements in physical properties. Proper curing temperature of the synthesized water repellents impellents was 150℃ : proper using concentration was 5wt% : sodium acetate was the best catalyst for water repellents among the used, and proper concentration was 1.0wt%.
Durable softening water-repellenting agent such as PODCW, PDDCW and PEDCW were prepared by blending cationized compound such as poly(octadecyl methacrylate-co-2-diethylaminoethyl methacrylate)[PODC], poly(2-dodecyl methacrylate-co-2-diethyl-aminoethyl methacrylate)[PDDC] and poly(2-ethylhexyl methacrylate-co-2-diethyl-aminoethyl methacrylate)[PEDC], and cationized compound of fatty carbamide, of which synthetic methods were reported in the previous paper, waxes, and emulsifiers. The results of physical tests of the P/C blended fabrics treated with PODCW, PDDCW and PEDCW with and without textile finishing resin, showed a remarkable improvement of the physical properties. The prepared water-repellenting agents, PODCW-6 and PDDCW-1, were treated on P/C blended fabrics with and without resin. For any cases, there are a little changes between initial water repellency and repellency after 3 times washing of the fabrics. Therefore, the water-repellenting agents proved to be a durable agents, and initial water 100+ and 90+ point, respectively.
The phase separated structure and the electo-optical properties of the polymer /liquid crystal(LC) composite films including a dye were investigated. The phase separated structure of the polymer /LC / dye composite film(GH composite film) including below 2wt% dye against LC was almost same with the composite film which does not include dye. But the electro-optical properties of the GH composite film strongly depended on weight fraction of the dye against the LC. The response time of the GH composite film increased with the increase of the dissolved dye in LC because the dye acts as a registivity for the orientation of LC molecules by the electric filed.
