이 연구는 국산화 한 액정형성 유화제에 대하여 선진사의 액정형성제를 사용하여 pH변화에 따른 안정성에 관한 것이다. 국산화한 액정유화제는 SugarCrystal-LC (㈜바이오뷰텍, 한국)를 사용하였 고, 비교시료는 Nikkomulese-LC (니코캐미칼즈, 일본)와 Alacel-LC (Croda 캐미칼즈, 영국)를 사용하 여 액정형성의 생성력을 실험하였다. 액정형성은 산성 (pH=4.2)에서, 중성 (pH=7.0) 그리고 알칼리성 (pH=11.7)에서 액정구조가 생성되는지 현미경으로 확인하였다. 또한 교반 속도에 따른 액정의 형성 입 자를 편광현미경으로 관찰 하였다. 교반 시간은 모두 동일하게 3분 동안 Homo-mixer로 교반하였고, 교반속도는 2500rpm, 3500 rpm, 4500rpm으로 증가시켜 액정의 상태를 관찰하였다. 그 결과 한국산 계면활성제가 2종의 외국산 보다 안정하고, 선명한 액정구조가 형성되는 것을 알 수 있었고, 영국산의 경우 유화입경이 분균일하여 불안정한 상태를 보였다. 일본산의 경우, 한국산과 유사한 구조와 성능을 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 한국산 계면활성제는 외국산과 비교하여 우수한 유화성능을 가지고 있음을 알 수 있었다. 응용분야로 국산화한 Sugar Crystal-LC 계면활성제를 사용하여 액정크림, 로션, 아이크림 등 다양한 제형개발이 가능하고, 화장품산업은 물론 의약품산업 및 제약산업에서 피부외용제의 유화기술 로 폭넓게 응용이 가능할 것으로 기대한다.

Isotropic pitch-based fibers produced from coal tar pitch with the melt-blowing method were carbonized at temperatures ranging from 800 to 1600oC to investigate their crystalline structure and physical properties as a function of the carbonization temperature. The in-plane crystallite size (La) of the carbonized pitch fiber from X-ray diffraction increased monotonously by increasing the carbonization temperature resulting in a gradual increase in the electrical conductivity from 169 to 3800 S/cm. However, the variation in the d002 spacing and stacking height of the crystallite (Lc) showed that the structural order perpendicular to the graphene planes got worse in carbonization temperatures from 800 to 1200oC probably due to randomization through the process of gas evolution; however, structural ordering eventually occurred at around 1400oC. For the carbonized pitch powder without stabilization, structural ordering perpendicular to the graphene planes occurred at around 800–900oC indicating that oxygen was inserted during the stabilization process. Additionally, the shear stress that occurred during the melt-blowing process might interfere with the crystallization of the CPF.

Recently, many cosmetic researchers have been focused on the development of high functional cosmetics including anti-wrinkle and whitening. In these studies, they couldn't afford to pay a deep attention to stable encapsulations for unstable materials and efficient drug deliveries for them. Particularly, in order to show a degree of instant effects as cosmetics, they can't also ignore moisturizing effect enough to satisfy customers just after applying and its maintenance by improving the function of skin barrier as well as above two effects. Therefore, skin analogue systems have attracted considerable attention in the view of structural and compositional similarity to intercellular membrane in stratum corneum. And, some models for skin analogue composition were developed to improve the function of skin barrier, stably encapsulate unstable materials such as retinol, vitamin B, C, E, etc., and control their skin penetration in order to show good effects as cosmetics. In this study, we suggest the new skin analogue model having the compositional similarity as well as conventional structural ones. Our skin analogue membrane(SAM) is mainly composed of ceramide/ cholesterol/phosphatidylcholin/fatty acids and its structural defects are compensated by including cholesterol amphiphile and controlling the ratio of ceramide/cholesterol. It was possible to confirm the formation of skin analogue membrane having highly-densed multilamella structure and compare them according to the change of each ratio with a polarized microscope, X-ray diffraction. More detaily, we observed their structures with a electron microscope(TEM). Finally, we dispersed them in excess of continuous water phase, observed the formation of maltese-cross liquid crystalline and measured the efficiency of drug deliveries and moisturizing effects.

The microstructure and Cu diffusion barrier property of Ta-Si-N films for various Si and N compositions were studied. Ta-Si-N films of a wide range of compositions (Si: 0~30 at.%, N: 0~55 at.%) were deposited by DC magnetron reactive sputtering of Ta and Si targets. Deposition rates of Ta and Si films as a function of DC target current density for various N2/(Ar+N2) flow rate ratios were investigated. The composition of Ta-Si-N films was examined by wavelength dispersive spectroscopy (WDS). The variation of the microstructure of Ta-Si-N films with Si and N composition was examined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). The degree of crystallinity of Ta-Si-N films decreased with increasing Si and N composition. The Cu diffusion barrier property of Ta-Si-N films with more than sixty compositions was investigated. The Cu(100 nm)/Ta-Si-N(30 nm)/Si structure was used to investigate the Cu diffusion barrier property of Ta-Si-N films. The microstructure of all Cu/Ta-Si-N/Si structures after heat treatment for 1 hour at various temperatures was examined by XRD. A contour map that shows the diffusion barrier failure temperature for Cu as a function of Si and N composition was completed. At Si compositions ranging from 0 to 15 at.%, the Cu diffusion barrier property was best when the composition ratio of Ta + Si and N was almost identical.
