Pyrolysis of polypropylene(PP) Was performed to find the effects of the pyrolysis temperature(425, 450, 475 and 500℃) and the pyrolysis time(35, 50 and 65minutes), respectively. Conversion and liquid yield obtained during PP pyrolysis continuously increased with the pyrolysis temperature( up to 500℃) and the pyrolysis time(up to 65minutes), especially these were more sensitive to the pyrolysis time at 425℃ than other pyrolysis temperatures. Each liquid product formed during the pyrolysis was classified into gasoline, kerosene, light oil and wax according to the distillation temperature based on the petroleum product quality standard of Korea Petroleum Quality Inspection Institute. The liquid products of PP pyrolysis up to 450℃ were almost same fractions(26±3wt.% gasoline, 20±2wt.% kerosene and 23±2wt.% light oil) except wax(3~13wt.%). On the other hand, the pyrolysis of PP from 475℃ to 500℃ produced 26±3wt.% wax, 24±1wt.% gasoline, 18±1wt.% kerosene and 16±1wt.% light oil. After all, the main liquid product changed from gasoline to wax with increasing pyrolysis temperature.

Liquid-phase methanol synthesis via methyl formate using coal-derived syngas was carried out in a bench-scale(diameter 173 mm and dispersion height 1200 mm) slurry bubble column reactor(SBCR) Under the condition of 180˚. 61 atm, 30 L/min, H2/CO=2 and a slurry mixture of 2 kg of copper chromite and 0.5 kg of KOCH3 suspended in 14 L of methanol, the per pass conversions of syngas is 6 %, maximum concentration of methyl formate 3.088 mol% and maximum synthesis, rate of methanol 0.8 gmole/kg · hr. It is a significant evidence that copper chromite powder as heterogeneous catalyst didn't active for the hydrogenolysis of methyl formate to methanol, resulting copper chromite powder was not efficiently suspended in a slurry mixture. To enhance the hydrogenolysis of methyl formate in liquid-phase methanol synthesis process, the designed SBCR have need to use the higher specific gravity solvent and/or decrease the catalyst particle size.

A (disk-like liquid crystal (DLC) monomer/liquid crystals(LCs)/chiral dopant/dichroic dye) composite was irradiated with ultraviolet (UV) light. The (DLC network/LCs/chiral dopant/dichroic dye) was formed in the homeotropically oriented smectic A(SA) phase by the surface orientation treatment and the electric field. A focal-conic texture exhibiting strong light scattering appeared in the heat-induced chiral nematic phase(N*) of the composite upon heating. Thermo-recording in the composite system has been realized by using a He-Ne laser. The laser irradiation was induced the phase transitions from SA phase to chiral nematic(N*) phase in the composite system.

A mixture of methyl ester derivatives of fatty acids from the oils of pine nuts was well resolved to five fractions differing by degree of unsaturation by silver ion solid-phase extraction column chromatography (Ag+-SEC). Polyunsaturated fatty acid with non-methylene interrupted conjugated double bond (NMiDB) radical held more strongly to silver ions in the column than methylene interrupted conjugated double bond (MiDB) one when they had the same number of double bonds. Although both the picolinyl ester and DMOX derivative provided clear mass ion species powerful enough to elucidate the structure of the polyunsaturated fatty acid (PUFA) with NMiDB and/or methylene interrupted conjugated double bond (MiDB) radical in the oils, the picolinyl ester of PUFA with NMiDB radical did not provide a cluster of mass ions neighboring diagnostic mass ions induced by the double bond in the proximal to the carboxyl group. However, the DMOX derivative of PUFA with NMiDB group as well as MiDB showed abundant mass ion species differing by gaps of 12 amu, which made it possible with greater ease to locate the double bonds in the molecule. The oil contained C18:2Ω6 (46.2 %) and C18:1Ω9 (25.4 %) as main components, and considerable amounts of PUFAs with NMiDB radical such as δ5. 9. 12-C18:3 (16.0 %), δ5. 9-C18:2 (2.3 %) and δ5. 11. 14-C20:3 (0.8 %).

Activated carbons with high surface area of 2,600 m2/g and high pore volume of 1.2 cc/g could be prepared by KOH activation of rice hulls at a KOH:char ratio of 4:1 and 850℃. In order to increase the adsorption capacity of hydrogen sulfide, which is one of the major malodorous component in the waste water treatment process, various contents of Na2CO3 and KIO3 were impregnated to the rice-hull activated carbon. The impregnated activated carbon with 5 wt.% of Na2CO3 showed improved H2S adsorption capacity of 75 mg/g which is twice of that for the activated carbon without impregnation and the impregnated activated carbon with 2.4 wt.% of KIO3 showed even higher H2S adsorption capacity of 97 mg/g. The improvement of H2S adsorption capacity by the introduction of those chemicals could be due to the H2S oxidation and chemical reaction with impregnated materials in addition to the physical adsorption of activated carbon.

The catalytic activities of several metalloporphyrin, wherein the porphyrins are TPP(5,lO,l5,20-Tetraphenyl-21H,23H-porphyrin) and (p-X)TPP (X =CH3O, CH3, F, Cl), are reported for the oxidation of styrene and it's derivatives. The electronic effects of substrates and porphyrins on the catalytic activity of metalloporphyrin containing the transition metal ion such as Mn(III) was discussed. Investigating the correlation between the Michaelis-Menten's rate parameters and the substituent constants, we are going to analyze the influences on the changes of catalytic activity or rate determining step during the processes of the formation and the dissociation of the M-oxo-olefin.

Isothermal pyrolysis of high density polyethylene(HDPE), polypropylene(PP) and polystyrene(PS) was performed at 450℃, respectively. The effect of pyrolysis time on yield and product composition was investigated. Conversion and liquid yield obtained during HDPE pyrolysis continuously increased with time up to 80minutes, but those of PP and PS did not largely change after 35minutes. Each liquid product formed during the pyrolysis was classified into gasoline, kerosene, light oil and wax according to the distillation temperature based on the petroleum product quality standard of Korea Petroleum Quality Inspection Institute. The major liquid product of HDPE pyrolysis was light oiH34 wt.% based on the amount of HDPE treated) and the amounts of the other liquid ingredients(gasoline, kerosene and wax) were almost the same. On the other hand, the pyrolysis of PP produced 27 wt.% gasoline, 22 wt.% kerosene, 24 wt.% light oil and 13wt.% wax, and the pyrolysis of PS produced 56 wt.% gasoline, 12 wt.% kerosene, 9 wt.% light oil and 13 wt.% wax.

The color stability and purity from OLED is of current interest. Aggregation of dyes alters the device color after fabrication of the devices. Exciplex and electroplex formations have been proposed to explain the aggregate color change. We investigate the possibility of exciplex formation and propose the new electroplex state that can cause the bathochromic shift of the electroluminescence spectrum from the devices with TPD/PBD layers. The photoluminescence maximum of the device was 420nm, and the electroluminescence maximum of the device to became 480nm. The bathochromic shift cannot be attained with photoluminescence study with highly concentrated TPD/PBD mixture. This clearly indicates that the 480nm spectrum of the devices is not resulted from the exciplex formation with TPD and PBD. We observed the overshoot in EL spectrum from the OLEDs. The most intense overshoot was observed at 460nm, which may be due to the aggregates that are formed after the electric field has been removed from the devices.

The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of dietary γ-linolenic acid on plasma lipid metabolism and anti thrombotic activity in male Sprague Dwaley Strain rats. Rats weighing an average of 100~120g were fed a experimental diets containing 5% lard (saturated fatty acids), corn oil(linoleic acid), evening promise oil(EPO, 9% γ-linolenic acid) or borage oil(BO, 24% γ-linolenic acid) for 3Odays, respectively. Though there were no significant difference in the food intake among the groups, the body weight gain of the BO group was significantly lower than that of other group. The spleen weight of the lard group was significantly lower than that of other group. The bleeding time of the BO group was significantly longer than that of other group. The blood clotting time was significantly tended to long in EPO and BO groups compared with lard group. The plasma triacylglyceride and total cholesterol concentration were high in order of lard, com oil, EPO and BO, groups and there were significant differences among the groups. The plasma HDL-C concentrations were high in order of BO, EPO, com oil and lard groups and there were significant differences among the groups. The plasma LDL-C concentrations were significantly the highest in lard group, but the lowest in BO group. These data indicate that γ-linolenic acid has a antithrombotic activity, and decrease the plasma triacylglyceride, total cholesterol and LDL-C concentrations in rats.

In recent days, the study of a new phosphorescent phosphor has been performed in order to overcome the defect of sulfide phosphor and increase the brightness and long after-glow characteristic of phosphorescent phosphor. Particularly, sulfide phosphor usually used is so chemically unstable that the study of oxide phosphors are processing. Eu2+, Nd3+ doped Ba-Al-O phosphors sintered at 600~1500℃ for 2hours had the PL emission spectrum and after-glow over 1200℃. In this system, as the mole concentration of alumina increases, emission bands of phosphors moved from 500nm to 380nm. The optimum concentration of flux was 5wt% and after-glow characteristics of phosphors were found at the host material molar ratio (BaCO3:Al2O3), 1:1 and 1:3.

The isoflavone as a derivatives of flavone is colorless crystalline compounds. It acts on synthesis of fibronectine, collagen III, collagen I in human normal fibroblast by same biological activity to animal hormone. In this study, we tried to search and demonstrate system content rate of dermal translocation system for cosmetics using microemulsion containing isoflavone. The results of microemulsion stability test by centrifugation, storage in incubator and circulation chamber showed that separation of phase did not appear after 30 days. By the skin flexibility test, it has confirmed efficiency and effect as cosmetics materials. As the result, the microemulsion showed that skin flexibility factor improved up to 7.6%. We could confirm that O/W type microemulsion was stable system.

The alkaline hydrolysis of alkyl alkylphosphinate and alkyl phenylphosphinates have been studied at room temperature. The hydrolysis proceeded as an one-stage reaction(SN 2) and involved a nucleophilic attack of the hydroxyl ion on the phosphorus atom. And the length of the alkoxy group in the phosphinate esters affected on hydrolysis. Therefore, the alkaline hydrolysis may be used as a method to decompose the chemical agents.

Methyl glycoside oleic acid polyester was successfully prepared from methyl glycosides and methyl oleate by emulsion interesterification in the presence of methyl fructoside oleic acid polyester as an emulsifier. Emulsion interesterification process was optimized to obtain 98% yield of methyl glycoside polyester within 3~5hr at temperatures as relatively low as 90~150℃ and 20~200mmHg pressure with a five-fold molar ratio of oleic acid methyl ester to methyl glycoside in the presence of 2(w/w)% potassium carbonate and 2O(v/v)% methyl fructoside polyester based on oleic acid methyl ester.

As model waterborne acrylic coatings, mono-dispersed poly(butyl acrylate-methyl methacrylate) copolymer latexes of random copolymer and core/shell type graft copolymer were prepared by seeded multi-staged emulsion polymerization with particle size of 180~200 nm using semi-batch type process. Sodium lauryl sulfate and potassium persulfate were used as an emulsifier and an initiator, respectively. The effect of particle texture including core/shell phase ratio, glass transition temperature and crosslinking density, and film forming temperature on the film formation and final properties of film was investigated using SEM, AFM, and UV in this study. The film formation behavior of model latex was traced simultaneously by the weight loss measurement and by the change of tensile properties and UV transmittance during the entire course of film formation. It was found that the increased glass transition temperature and higher crosslinking degree of latex resulted in the delay of the onset of coalescence of particles by interdiffusion during film forming process. This can be explained qualitatively in terms of diffusion rate of polymer chains. However, the change of weight loss during film formation was insensitive to discern each film forming stages-I, II and III.

[Ga]-MFI and H-ZSM-5 catalysts were synthesized under atmospheric pressure and used in the propylene aromatization. The effect of temperature on the product distribution was also investigated. The catalytic activities of the prepared catalysts were compared with the commercialized H-ZSM-5 which was converted from NH4-ZSM-5. In the propylene aromatization, product distribution does not depend on the ratio of Si/Ga2 with [Ga]-MFI catalyst, but depend on the ratio of Si/Al2 with H-ZSM-5 catalyst [Ga]-MFI catalyst shows better dehydrogenation and alkylation activities than H-ZSM-5 catalyst The addition of Ga to H-ZSM-5 catalyst increases the conversion of propylene, selectivity to aromatics, and alkylation. In the propylene aromatization, the selectivity to aromatics slightly increased with increasing temperature with [Ga]-MFI catalyst, while slightly decreased with increasing temperature with H-ZSM-5 catalyst

A silicone softner (SS-5), a permanent press (PP) finish, was prepared by blending silicone oil KF-96 (as a lubricating component) and beef tallow hardened oil (as a softening component) which was synthesized from fatty polyamide salts. The prepared SS-5 and the PP finishing resin were applied to PP finishing cotton cloth and P/C gingham sample by one-bath method. The properties such as crease recovery, tear strength, and bending resistance were tested. The samples treated with SS-5 and PP finishing resin showed improved properties when comparing with the untreated ones, with the ones treated only with PP finishing resin, with ones treated with commercial PP finishing softners and PP finishing resin. The grades of fabric samples treated with 3% SS-5 were fifth grade in the bending resistance test.

Experimental Study was carried out for benzene desorption by purge gas or evacuation in an activated carbon bed. As purge gas flow rate increased, desorption rate increased due to the higher interstitial linear gas velocity. For various purge gas flow rates, desoption curves almost got together if they were plotted against dimensionless time. At a higher flow rate, mass transfer zone became narrower. Temperature drop in the bed was more fast and severe at higher flow rates and higher outer temperature. It was found out that desorption was almost completed when the temperature in the drop of the bed returned to the initial temperature before temperature drop. Desorption by vacuum purge was completed in shorter time than desorption by purge gas. Countercurrent purge was more effective than cocurrent purge.

Diphosphine dinuclear gold(I) complexes were synthesized from the reaction of bridged diphosphines and gold ions. As a bridged diphosphine, 1,2-bis(diphenylphosphino)metbane (dppm) or 1,1'-Bis(diphenylphosphino) ferrocene (dppf) was introduced. As anionic ligands, CI was first coordinated to Au, resulting in (diphosphine)(AuCl)2. Then, the ligand, SPh, was substituted for Cl in the chloride complex to give (diphosphine)(AuSPh)2. As a result, three digold complexes, (dppm)(AuCl)2. (I), (dppf)(AuCl)2. (II), and (dppf)(AuSPh2. (III) were prepared in this study. The thermal properties were investigated at first hand to confirm that the gold complexes were in fact formed. The digold complexes were decomposed above 200℃ while the ligand, dppm or dppf, melts under 180℃ The photoluminescence (PL) spectra of the spin-coated thin films showed the maximum peak at 590, 595, and 540nm for the complex, I, II, and III, respectively. These complexes were found to give the orange color phosphorescence. Therefore, these digold complexes can be candidates for orange-red phosphorescent materials in organic electroluminescent devices (OELD). Further studies on application of the complexes as a dopant in an emitting layer are in progress in our laboratory.

Recently, the phosphorescent organic light-emitting devices (OLEDs) have been extensively studied for their high internal quantum efficiency. In this study, we synthesised several phosphorescent metal complexes, and certified their composition using NMR. We also investigated the characteristics of the phosphorescent OLEDs with the green emitting phosphor, Ir(ppy)3. The devices with a structure of indium-tin-oxide(ITO)/N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-(3-methylphenyI-1,1'-biphenyl-4,4'-diamine (TPD)/metal complex doped in host materials/2,9-dimethyl-4,7-diphenyl-l,10-phenanthroline(BCP)/tris (8-hydroxyquinolinato) Aluminum(Alq3)/Li:Al/Al was fabricated, and its electrical and optical characteristics were studied. By changing the doping concentration of tris(2-phenylpyridine)iridium (Ir(ppy)3), we fabricated several devices and investigated their characteristics.
