Undenatured castor oil and trimethylolpropane (TMP) were used to obtain bio-based water-based polyurethane. Isophorone diisocyanate (IPDI) was incorporated into the formulation to obtain a transparent film, and ethylenediamine (EDA) was used for chain extension. In order to measure the change in physical properties according to the contents of castor oil and TMP, each tensile strength, elongation, and abrasion resistance test was conducted. As the contents of castor oil and TMP increased, the tensile strength increased, the elongation decreased, and the surface hardened strongly as the respective contents increased.

This research was conducted to investigate the effect of essential oil (EO) from Artemisia Princeps Pampanini on quality of tomato during storage. EO was extracted by steam distillation and diluted by 1 and 2%. Total phenolic contents and antioxidative activities of EO were analyzed. Tomato was packaged corrugated box covered with polypropylene (PP) film containing EO (1 and 2%) and then stored at room temperature for 10 days. During storage, appearance, weight loss rate, soluble solid contents, pH and a (redness) value were measured for tomato. Total phenolic contents of EO increased in a dose-dependence. The DPPH and ABTS radical scavenging activities also showed a concentration-dependent increase. The weight loss rate was lowest using the film packaged in 1% EO. During the storage period, soluble solid contents and pH increased in all treatments. The a value increased regardless of EO concentration in films. Especially, tomato packaged with EO film showed a lower a value than non EO-packaged ones. This result suggests that application of EO to film is effective for tomato quality preservation.

A microencapsulated cinnamon oil (CO)-coated film was developed using a pilot-plant scale film coating system. CO microencapsulated with polyvinyl alcohol was incorporated with a printing ink and the ink mixture was applied to the surface of a polypropylene (PP) film as an ink coating using a gravure printing press at a speed of 20-200 m/min. The tensile strength, percentage elongation at break, elastic modulus, and water vapor permeability of the PP films with and without coating with the microcapsules were not significantly different (p > 0.05), which indicates that the coating did not alter those properties of the films. Microencapsulation effectively prevented the volatilization of CO in the films. The microencapsulated system may be extended to other food-packaging films for which the same ink-printing platform is used. The results from this study imply that the oil-microencapsulated films could be potentially produced by a modern film manufacturing system.

To determine an operational condition of an adhesion-type oil skimmer, it is important to estimate the withdrawal rate for a given driving velocity of the skimmer and material properties of the oil. As a theoretical model for this problem the formation of an oil film on a vertically driven flat plate is investigated. The previous steady-state analysis made in the field of coating industry are reviewed. These studies have been made under the assumptions of small Reynolds and capillary number, which is adequate for coating process but not for oil skimming. An alternative analysis based on the linear stability theory is made. Comparisons with the experimental results reveal that the stability analysis gives a correct estimation of the withdrawal rate for high capillary number at which the previous theory losses its validity.

무피복 재배조건에서 생육특성 및 수량성 그리고 종실의 단백질과 지방함량, 지방산 조성을 조사하여 무피복 재배법 확립을 위한 기초자료를 얻고자 대광땅콩, 대풍땅콩을 공시하고 흑색 비닐 피복재배와 비교하여 시험한 결과는 다음과 같다. 1. 출현기는 대광땅콩, 대풍땅콩 모두 피복재배보다 6일정도 지연되었으며 개화기는 각각 9일, 6일 지연되었고 입모율도 각각 3.7％, 16％감소되었다. 2. 분지장은 피복재배보다 대광땅콩 24％(11.2cm), 대풍땅콩 17％(6.9cm) 감소되었으나 분지수는 감소되지 않았다. 3. 성숙협수,100립중, 협실비율, 주당 종실수량등은 피복재배보다 현저히 감소되었으나 밀식재배로 인한 재식밀도의 증가로 1ha당 종실수량은 대광땅콩의 경우 피복재배와 비슷하였고 대풍땅콩의 경우는 26％ 증수되었다. 4. 단백질함량은 대광땅콩의 경우, 피복재배보다 4％ 증가하였으나 대풍땅콩은 3％ 감소하였으며 지방함량은 두 품종 모두 각각 7％, 9％ 감소되었다. 5. 지방산 조성에서 oleic acid는 대광, 대풍땅콩 모두 피복재배보다 증가하였으나 linolelc acid는 감소하였으며 O/L비율도 작아졌다.
