$HF_1$(1H KOH soluble hemicellulose fraction), $HF_2$(2H KOH soluble hemicellulose fraction) $HF_3$(3H KOH soluble hemicellulose fraction) and $HF_4$(4H KOH soluble hemicellulose fraction) were fractionated from Fuji crude cell wall and purified using Sephacryl S-500 to determine the effects of these hemicellulosic fractions on the Ca- pectate gel formation. By increasing of KOH concentration, from 1 to 4N, hexose peas became higher in led, and molecula weights, especially pentose peaks in high molecular weight. Hemicellulose fractions using gel filtration were composed of $8{\sim}10$ peaks which were $10^4{\sim}143{\times}10^4$ molecular weight. Higher values of hardness, adhesiveness and gumminess were found in low molecular weight than in high molecular weight, also in hexose and uronic acid contained than in hexose contained.

Anionic polymerization of 2-pyrrolidone and ${\varepsilon}$-Caprolactam via $CO_2/KOH catalysis was attempted in order to find reaction condition and physical properties of polymers. In case of polymerization of 2-pyrrolidone, the yield of conversion was increased when the concentration of potassium hydroxide was reached above 8 mole percent. The optimum of CO_2/KOH$ mole ratio was 0.45. It was also found that the polymerization was taking place at moderate temperature which was around $50^{\circ}C$. With regard to polymerization of-caprolactam, the yield of conversion was relatively low at $80^{\circ}C$ to $90^{\circ}C$and higher yield of conversion was obtained at higher temperature between $150^{\circ}C$ to $180^{\circ}C$ regardless of $CO_2/KOH mole ratio. The inherent viscosity of nylon 4 and nylon 6 which was made via CO_2/KOH$ catalysis was measured. The observed inherent viscosity was between 2.0 to 5.0.

This study describes a new maskless nano-fabrication technique of Si (100) using the combination of nanometer-scale mechanical forming by nano-indenter XP and KOH wet etching. First the surface of a Si (100) specimen was machined by using the nano-machining system, which utilizes the mechanism of the nano-indenter XP. Next, the specimen was etched by KOH solution. After the etching process, the convex structure or deeper hole is made because of masking or promotion effect of the affected layer generated by nano-machining. On the basis of this interesting fact, some sample structures were fabricated.

Calcium fluoride, created by topical fluoride application, is the reservoir for fluoride ion regulated by pH in the oral environment. Therefore, the amount and the maintenance of calcium fluoride have an important role in preventing dental caries. The aim of this study is to evaluate the effect of Nd:YAG laser irradiation on the generation of calcium fluoride and the acid resistance of tooth enamel. The bovine anterior permanent teeth were prepared (n=276), and divided into following groups : no treatment (control) fluoride application alone, laser irradiation alone, laser irradiation after fluoride application, and fluoride application after laser irradiation. And each group was subdivided based on the application time of 1.23% acidulated phosphate fluoride (APF) (5 min and 30 min) and the irradiation energy of Nd:YAG laser ($20J/cm^2\;and\;40J/cm^2$). In case of fluoride application, each group was divided according to KOH treatment. Twenty three treatment conditions were made for this experiment and twelve specimens were assigned to each treatment condition. In each treatment condition, ten specimens were used for chemical analysis and two specimens were observed under SEM. In groups without treating KOH, fluoride content and the depth of enamel dissolved were measured using enamel biopsy technique. In groups with treating KOH, the amount of calcium fluoride was measured by the treatment with 1 M KOH for 24 hours and enamel biopsy was performed after KOH treatment. The results were analyzed by the fluoride content and the depth of enamel dissolved by enamel biopsy, amount and thickness of calcium fluoride, and the surface structures of enamel. The results are as follows: 1. In groups without treating KOH, the fluoride content of removed enamel showed a positive relationship with the energy density of laser when the laser irradiated before fluoride application 2. In groups without treating KOH, the depth of enamel dissolved decreased more with the combined laser and fluoride treatment than with laser or fluoride treatment, except for the case of $20J/cm^2$ laser irradiation after 5 minute fluoride application (p<0.05). 3. The amount of calcium fluoride did not increased by laser treatment with no statistical significance(p>0.05). 4. The particle size of calcium fluoride increased in case of fluoride treatment after laser irradiation, compared with fluoride application alone. In case of laser treatment after fluoride application, the particle size of calcium fluoride increased and some of the particles fused as well. 5. There were no significant differences in the fluoride content of dissolved enamel between groups without treating KOH and control group, except for the case of laser irradiation after treatment of APF for 30 minutes (p>0.05). 6. In groups with treating KOH, depth of removed enamel in the groups of combined treatment with laser and fluoride was shallower than that in fluoride application groups (p<0.05). 7. In groups without treating KOH, the relationship between fluoride content and the depth of enamel dissolved showed more negative (Spearman correlation coefficient: -0.6281) than in groups with treating KOH (Spearman correlation coefficient: -0.3792). The greater amount of calcium fluoride could be found in case where there was a significant differences of the depth of enamel dissolved between groups with and without treating KOH. From these results, it can be concluded that laser seems to be a little effects on the amount of calcium fluoride formation, but has some effect on the lowering the solubility of calcium fluoride. As the combined treatment of laser and fluoride application showed more effective acid-resistant property, more extended recall period for fluoride application can be achieved with this combined treatment in the clinic.

The effects of mask materials and etching solutions on the dimensional accuracy of V-groove were studied for the alignment between optoelectronic devices and optical fibers in optical packaging. PECVD nitride, LPCVD nitride, or thermal oxide($SiO_2$) was used as a mask material. The anisotropic etching solution was KOH(40wt%) or the mixture of KOH and IPA. LPCVB nitride has the best etching selectivity and thermal oxide was etched most rapidly in KOH(40wt%) at $85^{\circ}C$ among the mask materials studied here. The V-groove size enlarged than the designed value. This phenomenon was due to the undercutting benearth the mask layer from the etching toward Si (111) plane. The etch rate of (111) plane wart 0.034 - 0.037 $\mu\textrm{m}$/min in KOH(40wt%). This rate was almost same regardless of mask materials. When IPA added to KOH(40wt%), the etch rate of (100) plane and (111) plane decreased, but etching ratio of (100) to (111) plane increased. Consequently, the undercutting phenomenon due to etching toward (111) plane decreased and the size of V-groove could be controlled more accurately.

Hydrothermal synthesis of PbZ1-xTixO3 has been investigated. Syntheses were performed using lead acetate triphdrate as Pb source, Ti/Zr gel by hydrolizing Ti-isopropoxide as Tiand Zr source and Zr-propoxide and KOH (0.5m, 1m, 2m) as mineralizer. The hydrothermal synthesis has been examined at 140℃, 150℃ and 160℃. Synthesized PZT powders showed a rectangular shape and were agglomerate. At 1m and 2m KOH concentrations PZT powders were synthesized the respective time of 8 hrs and 1hr but at 0.5m KOH concentration phase pure PZT powders were not synthesized for 5days reaction. At the conditions of low temperature and low KOH concentration unreacted Ti/Zr gel remained although synthesized powders were almost PZT. The size of PZT powders increased with KOH concentrations. PbO solid solutions were formed as intermediate phases and these were classified to PbO-10%TiO2 solid solution and PbO-3% TiO-3% TiO2 solid solution.

The synthesis of pyrrolidone-N-sulfonyl chloride has been carried out by the reaction of pyrrolidone with sulfuryl chloride in benzene. It was attempted to study the catalytic effect of pyrroldone-N-sulfonyl chloride as an initiator for anionic polymerization of pyrrolidone. It was found that as a concentration of initiator decreased, inherent viscosity of the resulting polymer increased up to 1.8 dl/g. The highest rate of polymerization and equilibrium conversion was observed when mole ratio of PNSC to KOH was 0.25. In general, the observed value of polymerization and equilibrium conversion in circumstances using PNSC/KOH catalysis system were higher than using $CO_2$/KOH catalysis system.

Porous carbons have attracted much attention for their novel application in gas storage. In this study, porous graphite nano-fiber (PGNFs)-based graphite nano fibers (GNFs) were prepared by KOH activation to act as adsorbents. The GNFs were activated with KOH by changing the GNF/KOH weight ratio from 0 through 5 at 900℃. The effects of the GNF/KOH weight ratios on the pore structures were also addressed with scanning electron microscope and N₂ adsorption/desorption measurements. We found that the activated GNFs exhibited a gradual increase of CO₂ adsorption capacity at CK-3 and then decreased to CK-5, as determined by CO₂ adsorption isotherms. CK-3 had the narrowest micropore size distribution (0.6–0.78 nm) among the treated GNFs. Therefore, KOH activation was not only a significant method for developing a suitable pore-size distribution for gas adsorption, but also increased CO₂ adsorption capacity as well. The study indicated that the sample prepared with a weight ratio of ‘3’ showed the best CO₂ adsorption capacity (70.8 mg/g) as determined by CO₂ adsorption isotherms at 298 K and 1 bar.

The potassium titanate fibres were synthesized with wet process by the addition of KOH solution to the TiOz gel produced by the reaction between element titanium particles and $H_2O_2$ solution at $50^{\circ}C$. And then they were characterized by XRD, SEM and FT - IR. It was found that potassium titanate fibres were mainly affected by KOH/TiOz mole ratio, synthesis time and aging time in this wet process employed. For $KOH/TiO_2 = 1/1$, synthesizing time 24 hrs, aging time 24 hrs and calcination temperature of TEX>$900^{\circ}C$ for 1 hr, their products were mainly found to be potassium tetratitanate which had thin and long fibres in the range of 10 ~ 20 mm. As the synthesizing time increased and the amount of KOH decreased, potassium tetratitanate was converted into potassium hexatitanate. Also, the length of their fibres became short.

The effects of additive such as $H_2O_2$ in KOH electrolyte solution for the Aluminum/Air fuel cell were investigated with regard to electric power characteristics. The power generated by a Al/Air fuel cell was controlled by the KOH electrolyte solution and $H_2O_2$ depolarizer. Higher cell power was achieved when higher KOH electrolyte concentration and higher $H_2O_2$ depolarizer amount. The maximum power was increased by the increase amount $H_2O_2$ depolarizer, it was found that $H_2O_2$ depolarizer inhibits the generation of hydrogen and the polarization effect was reduced as a result. Internal resistance analysis was employed to elucidate the maximum power variation. Higher internal resistance created internal potential differences that drive current dissipating energy. In order to improve the output characteristics of the Al/Air fuel cell, it is thought to be desirable to increase the KOH electrolyte concentration and increase the $H_2O_2$ addition amounts.
