Abstract: Disclosed are novel materials separated from Ecklonia cava, a method for extracting and purifying the same, and the use thereof for antioxidants. The method comprises extracting antioxidative ingredients from powdered Ecklonia cava one or more times with an organic solvent; fractionating the antioxidative ingredients one or more times in solvents; and purifying the solvent fractions by chromatography. Superior in scavenging activity and thermal stability, the extract from Ecklonia cava can be used as antioxidants and is suitable in commercialization.

Abstract: Disclosed is a photo-curable antifogging composition which may be applied to substrates such as glass, various plastic materials and the like to give antifogging property on the surface of these substrates. The main ingredient of the composition is a quaternary ammonium salt of the following formula (1): wherein: R1 is CH3(CH2)nCH2 or CH3(CH2)nCH2C6H4 wherein n is an integer from 1 to 16 inclusive; R2 and R3 are the same or different from each other, and represent CH2═C(CH3)COOCH2CH(OH)CH2,CH2═CHCOOCH2CH(OH)CH2 or H, with the proviso that R2 and R3 may not be H at the same time; R4 is H, CH3, CH3CH2 or CH3CH2CH2; and X is CH3OSO3, CH3CH2OSO3, CH3COO, CF3COO, CH3(CH2)nCOO wherein n is an integer from 1 to 16 inclusive, CH3(CH2)7CH═CH(CH2)7COO, C6H5COO, C6H5CH(OH)COO, HOOCCH2CH(OH)COO, Cl or Br.
