[email protected] (L. Hu). Based on silsesquioxanes (SSO) derived from hydrolytic condensation of (3-methacrylpropyl) trimethoxysilane (MPMS), (3glycidoxypropyl)trimethoxysilane (GPMS) and vinyltrimethoxysilane (VMS), three hybrid nanofilms, f-MPMS-SSO (f-MS), f-GPMSSSO (f-GS) and f-VMS-SSO (f-VS), were prepared using sol–gel process and crosslinking (Hu et al., 2004). The average transparency (AT) and average absorption coefficients (AAC) of the films were measured in the ranges of 280–2500 nm. Two the film transparency applications were described in this work: (1) The AT values of the SSO films in the range of the ultraviolet B (UV-B) spectrum (280–320 nm) (a skin cancer-causing agent (Sunlight, 2008)) and (2) the AT values in the visible light (VIS) region (400–750 nm) and the near infrared (NIR) region (750–2500 nm) (Both the VIS and NIR light can give crops growth energy and the improvement of the photosynthetic process efficiency You and Barnett, 2004.). The AT values of the SSO films in the UV-B range is only about 12–17%, and the AAC values in this region are higher than 1.00, indicating these films can provide a physical barrier to block UV-B absorption by the skin, and therefore are possible SSO materials for sunscreen ingredients. The AT values in the VIS region are 85–92%, and the AT values in the near infrared region (750–2500 nm) are 89–92%; these high-AT films are good candidates for greenhouse covers. The average transparency values among three films were different due to the size of organic branches covalently bonded to the silica network in the molecular structures (Zhang et al., 2008), which was discussed in the article.

Today, the issue of petroleum substitutes does need to be addressed for increase in oil prices and environmentally concerns. Aphanothece sacrum is endemic cyanobacteria in Japan. To use of materials from cyanobacteria is useful. Novel supergiant sugar chains were successfully extracted for two methods from the jelly-like extracellular matrix of cyanobacteria, Aphanothece sacrum. The fact that the sugar chain extracted from Aphanothece sacrum was analyzed by NMR and IR, etc., therefore the sugar chain was suggested that have the sulfuric acid radical, the carboxyl group, and the amido group, and it is the bisexual sugar. Gemetilfcors found as the composition monosaccharide of the suger chains. The molecular weight was 16 million, and it was discovered a new Muramin of making to sulfuric acid as a monosaccharide by light scattering techniques, it has been understood that this sugar chain is a huge new sugar chain. When the percentage of absorption was measured by using the improvement type of the tea bag method that was about five times the hyaluronic acid in the alkaline extraction, and about four times in the autoclave extraction. In addition, when the percentage of absorption to the physiological saline was measured, about 11 times in the alkaline extraction and about 13 times in the autoclave extractions. This difference is thought to be related the bisexual sugar. It was changed the viscosity’s increasing in the alkaline extraction while the viscosity decreased when the hyaluronic acid added NaCl, and without existing in the autoclave extraction. We deduced that ion of the bisexual sugar acts salt, and it thinks whether to have eased the one that Na+ usually obstructs the adsorption of water. We will report on the day that the DSC and AFM were observed the effect of the salt on the shape of the polymer chain. References Kabata, K., et al., 2005. Kyuusyuu Toukai Univ. Bull. 24, 37–43.
