羊毛のセット処理,及び毛髪のパーマネントウェー ブ処理は,毛髪中に存在する‒SS‒結合の切断(還元工 程)と再結合(酸化工程)を巧みに利用したものであり, 羊毛や毛髪などのケラチン繊維の物理化学的性質の変 化や,セット工程における化学は,広く研究されてい る.一般に還元工程における還元剤としては,チオグ リコール酸(TG),L-システイン(CYS)などが使用さ れており,これら還元剤が,毛髪コルテックス内に拡 散することにより,初めてその機能(‒SS‒結合の切断) が発現される.われわれは,既に毛髪中への還元剤の 拡散パターンとしては,主に 2 つのパターン,すなわ ち TG に代表されるような「Fick 型の拡散パターン」 と CYS に代表されるような「非 Fick 型(Box 型)の拡 散パターン」が存在することを報告している[1].ま た,ラマン分光法を用いて TG 処理した毛髪断面試料 の内部構造変化を解析することにより,TG の拡散パ ターンと‒SS‒切断パターンが一致することを明らか にしている[2‒4].これに対して,CYS の拡散パター ンと‒SS‒切断パターンが一致せず,CYS の反応速度 (‒SS‒結合の切断速度)が,拡散速度よりも遅いこと を明らかにしている[5].特に「Fick 型の拡散パター ン」をとる還元剤をパーマネントウェーブ剤に配合し た場合,拡散係数に濃度依存性がなく,還元剤が毛髪 コルテックス内に深く浸透し,その結果,優れたパー マネントウェーブ性能(ウェーブ効率の向上,毛髪ダ メージの抑制)を発現することが可能となる.したがっ て,各種還元剤の毛髪内拡散挙動に関する知見を得る ことは,機能性に優れたパーマネントウェーブ剤を開 Abstract: In order to investigate the diffusion behavior of reducing agents into hair keratin fibers, crosssectional samples of virgin white human hair treated with thioglycolic acid (TG), thiolactic acid (TL), and Lcysteine (CYS), which have a carboxyl group in their molecule, were prepared. After the treatment, the crosssectioned hair samples were dyed with methylene blue and the cross-sectional intensity spectra were measured at a wavelength of 664 nm (λmax of methylene blue) with a microspectrophotometer. The three different diffusion patterns from the three reducing agents (TG, TL, and CYS) were obtained. The diffusion pattern of TL, which appeared as a sharp boundary line by using an optical microscope showed a combination of Fickian (TG) and Non-Fickian (CYS) types. Also, the diffusion pattern of thioglycerol (TGR), cysteamine hydrochloride, butyrolactonethiol, and glyceryl monothioglycolate, which don’t have any carboxyl group in their molecule showed Fickian type characteristics. In addition, it was found that the different alkali agents influenced the diffusion behavior of TGR and TG into virgin white human hair, and especially the waving efficiency of the waved hair treated with TGR. From these experiments, it has been concluded that the diffusion patterns of the reducing agents depended on the electrostatic interaction between the human hair and the reducing agents, and the chemical structure of the reducing agents.

: To develop novel epoxy resins having both high adhesion and excellent heat resistance, radical copolymerizations of 4-vinyloxybutyl glycidyl ether (VBGE) or 2-(2-vinyloxyethoxy)ethyl glycidyl ether (VEEGE) with N-phenylmaleimide (NPMI), in addition to copolymerization of 2-vinyloxyethyl glycidyl ether (VEGE) with NPMI, which was reported in our previous study, were carried out. The effects of flexibility of the central chain unit of epoxy-containing vinyl ethers (VEs) on the thermal, mechanical, and adhesive properties of the obtained copolymers were investigated. These radical copolymerizations using AIBN as an initiator in benzene at 60 ̊C afforded copolymers having number-average molecular weights of 91,000 to 161,000 in high yield. 1 H NMR analysis showed that the structure of the obtained copolymers consisted of VBGE unit or VEEGE unit and NPMI unit. The glass transition temperature ( T g ) of the copolymers depended on the composition of the copolymers and decreased as the flexibility of the pendant moiety of VE units increased. The thermal decomposition temperature ( T d ) of the obtained copolymers was higher than 300 ̊C, indicating their high heat resistance. Tensile shear adhesion strength and tensile strength of the cured copolymers (epoxy content: 2.52~2.63 mmol/g) obtained by curing reaction with polyfunctional aromatic amines were measured. Tensile shear adhesion strength was 1.8 to 4.6 N/mm 2 and tensile strength was 21 to 28 MPa, which was found to depend on the flexibility of the pendant moieties of the VE units in the copolymer.

: The separation of protein plays a critical role in the protein production process. A functionalized nanofiber fabric was prepared by immobilizing Cibacron Blue (CB) on a polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) nanofiber fabric produced by an electrospinning method. To evaluate its separation performance, the adsorption test of bovine serum albumin (BSA), a kind of protein, was conducted using this fabric. The CB molecules were immobilized by the covalent bonding of hydroxyl group of PVA and chlorinated triazine ring of CB under alkaline condition. The adsorption test of CB-enhanced affinity PVA nanofiber fabric was conducted by soaking it into the BSA solution as an adsorbate. As a result, after enhancing affinity by CB, the BSA adsorption amount of the PVA nanofiber fabric indicates a significant increase due to functionalization. Moreover, the adsorption characteristics were heavily dependent on the solution environment.

Colored yarns interweaving in accordance with specific weave structure provides the opportunity for textile designers to create an enormous number of mixing color effects on fabric surface. The key point of this idea is to search an appropriate model to match the optical mixing color of a fabric with the targeted or desired color. Based on the present prediction models such as K/S , Log ( K/S ), S-N and Friele model for colored yarn mixing, this study proposes a new color mixing model with a variable parameter to predict optical mixing color values of yarn-dyed fabrics. In order to optimize the model and improve the adaptive capacity for different kinds of yarn materials, a constant σ is introduced. Using a fitting approximation algorithm, the optimal value of constant σ of the model can be found per different yarns and interweave density of fabrics. Compared with previous models, the new model has much lower color differences.

: Nanocelluloses are prepared by downsizing plant cellulose fibers, which are efficiently produced at the industrial level as paper and dissolving pulps from renewable wood biomass resources. The number of scientific publications and patents concerning nanocelluloses has been increasing every year, because nanocelluloses are expected to contribute to creation of a sustainable society partly in place of petroleum-based materials. Nanocelluloses are categorized as cellulose nanonetworks (CNNeWs), cellulose nanofibrils or nanofibers (CNFs), and cellulose nanocrystals (CNCs) depending on their morphologies, originating from crystalline cellulose microfibrils abundantly present in each plant cellulose fiber. When no chemical pretreatment is applied to plant cellulose fibers, only CNNeW-type nanocelluloses with heterogeneous morphologies are obtained even after harsh mechanical disintegration in water. In contrast, when position-selective chemical pretreatment is applied to plant cellulose fibers for introduction of a large amount of charged groups on the cellulose microfibril surfaces, CNFs and CNCs with homogeneous ~3 nm widths can be prepared from the chemically pretreated plant cellulose fibers by gentle mechanical disintegration in water. These charged groups are used as scaffolds to add diverse functionalities to nanocelluloses by simple ion exchange in water. Chemical modifications of nanocellulose surfaces, hydrogels, preparation of nanocellulose-containing composites with various organic and inorganic compounds, the fabrication processes from nanocellulose/water dispersions to dried films, fibers, and porous materials, as well as their versatile applications, have been extensively reported in the last few years. In this review, some research topics are selected from nanocellulose-related publications and briefly overviewed.

: Fibre Reinforced Polymer is a new type of reinforced material that can be produced by using fibres and resins. It is an effective and economical material used for repair of new and existing structures in construction. This type of composite materials also have good mechanical properties such as impact resistance, strength, stiffness, flexibility and load carrying ability. Use of FRP for confinement has proved to be effective which is classified into two types retrofitting and strengthening. This study is determining the potential of aramid FRP composites in strengthening of RC beams. Mechanical characteristics of Aramid Fibre Reinforced Polymer (AFRP) confined concrete specimens can be analysed by conducting compression, split tension and flexural tests. Shear strength of AFRP wrapped RC beam was also taken into account. From the experimental results it is evidenced that the beams wrapped with AFRP possess better strength than the unconfined beams in both wrapping of single and double plies.

: Surface functionalization of fibers is one of powerful meanings for improvement of textile performances. In this review, two atmospheric pressure plasma jets (APPJ), plasma oxidation with nitrogen gas and plasma-induced polymer coating with hexamethyldisiloxane, are utilized for the surface functionalization of synthetic fibers, poly (ethylene terephthalate), PET. The PET film with a geometrical simplicity and natural fiber, wool, are also used as materials. The topographical and chemical changes due to the plasma‒PET surface interaction are clearly observed after the APPJ treatments. The APPJ oxidation roughens the PET surface as well as increases the surface atomic oxygen concentration, which makes it hydrophilic. However, remarkable hydrophobization is achieved after the APPJ coating as a result of the deposition of inorganic SiO 2 films and the granular morphology formation on the PET surface. The APPJ oxidation after the APPJ coating makes the PET surface super-hydrophilic. Surprisingly, the APPJ-coated PET surfaces with and without the APPJ oxidation have no contact angle hysteresis and preserve the contact angle to remain almost constant for at least two weeks. With respect to textile performance, the antifouling property of the PET fabric is found to be controlled by the APPJ treatments: soil deposition in air is prevented after the APPJ coating and soil release by laundering is promoted by the APPJ oxidation to the pristine and the APPJ-coated PET fabrics. Water wicking into the PET and wool fabrics is remarkably promoted by the APPJ oxidation. The dyeability of the PET fabric by dispersive dyes is improved by the APPJ oxidation before dyeing. For the wool fabric, color deepening after ink-jet dyeing is significantly increased due to pretreatment by the APPJ oxidation compared with the chemical treatment.

: Freestanding compliant micropost arrays were fabricated on a glass surface by two-photon-initiated polymerization of polyacrylamide gels. Subcellular force exerted on each post was evaluated from the independent displacement of the post. The elasticity of the gel (57 kPa) was designed to be as compliant as biological tissues. We tried this array to reproduce the in situ behavior of L6 rat myoblasts. Cells stayed still extending pseudopodia exerting traction force. When the expression of one of the molecular chaperones, α B-crystallin was knocked down, the cells kept wandering showing round-shaped contours confirming the significance of α B-crystallin in maintaining subcellular attachment to extracellular matrix. We consider the micropost arrays suitable for subcellular analyses of mechanical behavior at in situ-relevant conditions.

Ma-Abstract : Poly[ N -(2-Hydroxypropyl)methacrylamide] (PHPMA) shows excellent biocompatibility and thus is expected to be used as a carrier in a drug delivery system. In this study, we investigated how the difference in the monomer structure influences the sequence in copolymers composed of HPMA and monomers (MA-ah-NHNH-Boc and MA-NHNH-Boc); the size of MA-ah-NHNH-Boc is larger than that of MA-NHNH-Boc by the alkyl chain (CH 2 ) 5 spacer. Because the obtained copolymers showed a phase separation behavior upon heating, we also investigated this phase separation behavior by turbidimetry and the molecular dimension in dilute aqueous solution by small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS). Consequently, we found that the difference between the monomers (MA-ah-NHNH-Boc or MA-NHNH-Boc) significantly influences the monomer sequence in copolymer chains, the cloud point temperature, and the chain dimension in aqueous solution.

: In order to comprehensively investigate from the effects of the morphology (length and entanglement) of the molecular chain on the strength of polyethylene to its fracture mechanism, molecular dynamics simulation of uniaxial tension using low molecular weight amorphous polyethylene and first-principles calculation of uniaxial tension using methylene trimer were performed. As a result, it was found that when the molecular weight is twice the entanglement molecular weight, the molecular chains can not form a network structure. And the bond stretch had the greatest effect on stress, in contrast, the van der Waals force had negative effect on stress and the effect was larger at lower molecular weights. In addition, it is also found that the decrease in stress after reaching the maximum stress is due to slipping of the molecular chains because the molecular chains donʼt break due to tension. Furthermore, the maximum stress increased with the longer the molecular chain because the entanglement point acted as a resistive force against the tension and because the longer the molecular chain, the higher the number of entanglement points. From the above results, it was clarified that the entanglement works positively for stress, the van der Waals force works negatively, and the entanglement of the molecular chains has a large effect on the strength of polyethylene.
