Microspheres were prepared by solvent-evaporation method with Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA) as a starting material, and the effects of preparation variables on microsphere shape and average particle size were investigated. As the concentration of PVA solution increased from 1 to 5 wt%, the average particle size decreased from $370{\mu}m$ to $160{\mu}m$ and then increased to $240{\mu}m$ at 7 wt%. On the other hand, As the addition volume of PVA solution increased from 10 mL to 50 mL, the average particle size decreased from $370{\mu}m$ to $220{\mu}m$. Also, as the stirring speed increased from 500 rpm to 1,500 rpm, the average particle size decreased from $370{\mu}m$ to $110{\mu}m$. When dichloromethane and chloroform were used as organic solvents, respectively, the average particle size did not show any significant difference. However, when dichloromethane was used, voids were observed on the particle surface, but when chloroform was used, smooth spherical particles were obtained.

Tetraethoxysilane(TEOS) as a silica precursor and hydrochloric acid as an acid catalyst have been used in a surfactant-template synthesis of micrometer-sized mesoporous silica microspheres based on the macroemulsion technique. Increase in the concentration of tetraethoxysilane of the reaction mixture has a serious destructive effect on the particle shape and pore structure. As the acid concentration increases, relatively small microspheres are formed without destroying their spherical morphology of the particles as well as the pore structures. However, due to the attractive interaction between particles in an acidic condition, strong silica agglomerates are formed, and therefore are subject to a post-ultrasonic treatment to separate into an individual single particle.

실리카 마이크로 스피어는 손실이 대단히 적은 초고품위 공진기로 알려져 있다. 최근의 실험들에 의하면 실리카 마이크로 스피어는 공진기 Q 값이 $10^{9-10}$ 정도인데, 이는 현재까지 만들어진 마이크로 공진기들 중에서 가장 높은 값이다. 최근 마이크로 스피어는 저손실의 공진기로서 문턱조건이 없는 레이저 연구에 활용되고 있으며, 레이저와 좁은 공명 모드 선폭을 이용하여 레이저 주파수 안정화 및 광섬유 결합기 등에 활용되고 있다. 또한 Cavity-QED 연구와 Cavity-QED 효과를 이용한 소수의 양자점 레어저 연구에도 활용도고 있다.

In this study, drop-on-demand system using piezo-elecrtric inkjet printers was employed for preparation of collagen microspheres, and its application was made to the HepG2 cell-laden microsphere preparation. The collagen microspheres were injected into beaker filled with mineral oil and incubated in a water bath at $37^{\circ}C$ for 45 minutes to induce gelation of the collagen microsphere. The size of collagen microsphere was $100{\mu}m$ in diameter and $80{\mu}m$ in height showing spherical shape. HepG2 cells were encapsulated in the collagen microsphere. The cell-laden microspheres were inspected by the microscopic images. The encapsulation of cells may be beneficial for applications ranging from tissue engineering to cell-based diagnostic assays.

Poly(ethylene-co-vinylacetate) (EVA) microspheres were prepared by thermally induced phase separation (TIPS) in toluene. The microsphere formation occurred by the nucleation and growth mechanism in metastable region. The effects of the concentration and component of the polymer and cooling rate on microsphere formation were investigated. The microsphere formation and growth were followed by the cloud point of the optical microscope measurement. The microsphere size distribution, which was obtained by particle size analyzer, became broader when the polymer concentration was higher, the content of vinyl acetate in EVA copolymer was higher, the cooling rate of EVA copolymer solution were lower. The content of disperse dye in EVA microsphere was obtained by TGA thermal analysis, the dye content of EVA15 and EVA18 were 3.5 and 2.0 wt% respectively.

특수 기능성의 심물질이 평균직경 수 마이크로의 미소한 고분자막으로 둘러싸여 있는 담체를 마이크로 캡슐이라 한다. 이러한 마이크로 캡슐의 주요한 기능은 크게 두가지로 나뉘는데, 심물질을 외부환경으로부터 보호하는 것과 심물질을 외부환경에로 방출하는 속도를 조절하는 것이다. 폴리우레탄은 제조시의 분자조성에 의해 매우 광범위한 특성을 나타낼 수 있는 흥미로운 고분자로 특히, 폴리에테르 폴리우레탄은 우수한 물성, 감염에 대한 우수한 저항성, 그리고 뛰어난 혈액 및 생체 적합성 등으로 인해 많은 연구가 되어져 왔다. (중략)

Poly(ethylene-co-vinylacetate)(EVA) microspheres were prepared by a thermally induced phase separation. The microsphere formation occurred by the nucleation and growth mechanism in the metastable region. The diluents used were toluene. The microsphere formation and growth was followed by the cloud point of the optical microscope measurement. The microsphere size, which was obtained by SEM observation and particle size analyzer, became decreased when the titanium dioxide($TiO_2$) concentration was higher. The deodorizing function of the prepared fabrics was studied by the determination of the decomposing capability for $NH_3$. The deodorant activity of these deodorizing fabrics was measured by chromogenic gas detector tubes. The deodorant activity of $NH_3$ increased with increasing $TiO_2$ concentration of EVA microsphere.

일반적으로 폴리우레탄계 마이크로캡슐은 양말단에 과량의 NCO기를 가지는 폴리우레탄 프리폴리머의 중합에 의한 것으로서, 이어서 수용액상에서 쇄연장제의 첨가에 의해 계면에서 완전한 폴리우레탄막을 중합하는 방법을 취하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 프리폴리머법에 의한 마이크로캡슐의 형성은 여러 가지 제조상의 문제점을 지니고 있다. Vanzo 등이 10$\mu\textrm{m}$이하의 작은 입자를 얻기 위해서는 비교적 고농도의 분산제와 높은 교반속도를 사용할 필요가 있었으며, 또한 그 입자크기분포의 제어가 어려웠다. (중략)

굴절율이 외부보다 큰 실린더 (cylinder)나 스피어 (sphere)는 경계면에서의 전반사에 의해 손실이 매우 적은 high-Q 공진기가 될 수 있음이 잘 알려져 있다. 크기가 수 십 $mu extrm{m}$ 되는 실린더나 스피어에서의 공명모드는 편광(TM, TE), 모드 수 (mode number) n, 모드 순서 (mode order) l에 의해 정의되고 WGM (whispering gallery mode)라고도 불리워진다$^{(1)}$ . 모드 수n 이 클수록 모드 순서 l이 작을수록 공명모드의 Q 값은 큰 경향을 가진다. 액체 방울이나 액체 제트와 같이 열적 섭동에 민감한 마이크로 공진기 (micro-cavity)의 경우 Q값이 $10^{7}$ 정도로 제약되나, 실리카 마이크로 스피어 (micro-sphere)와 같은 고체 구에서 측정된 Q값은 약 $101^{10}$ 정도로 손실이 매우 적은 공진기가 될 수 있다$^{(2)}$ . 이와 같은 마이크로 공진기 특성을 이용하여 다양한 형태의 마이크로 공진기 레이저 대한 연구가 진행되어 왔다. 색소가 첨가된 고체구, 액체 방울, 액체 제트 등에서 기본적인 실험이 이루어졌고 반도체마이크로 스피어 구조에서 WGM 레이저$^{(3)}$ , polymer disc laser$^{(4)}$ , 광양자테 (photonic quantum ring)$^{(5)}$ 특성 연구 등이 실용가능성을 목표로 진행되고 있다.
