Peak oil, climate change, and microplastics caused by the production and usage of petroleum-based plastics have threatened the sustainability of our daily life, and this has emerged as a recent global issue. To solve this global issue, the production and usage of biodegradable eco-friendly bioplastics such as polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) has been suggested as an alternative. Therefore, in this review, the present status of global PHA manufacturers, the advantages of the production of PHAs using marine-origin microorganisms (with their productivity potential) and further required research and development strategies for cost-competitive production of PHAs using marine-based microorganisms were investigated. In this review, PHAs produced from marine microorganisms were found to have similar physical properties to petroleum-based plastics but with several advantages that can reduce the costs of PHA production. Those advantages include, seawater used in the medium preparation step, and osmotic-based cell lysis technology used in the separation and purification steps. However, the PHA productivities from marine microorganisms showed somewhat lower efficiencies than those from the commercial strains isolated from terrestrial environments. In order to solve the problem, further research strategies using synthetic microbiology-based technology, the development of long-term continuous culture technology, and solutions to improve PHA efficiency are required to meet future market demands for alternative bioplastics.

Determination of the wood content in wood plastic composite (WPC) is crucial to form reliable WPC market. WPC with simple formulation consisting of only two components (wood flour and polypropylene) was examined using thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) and accelerator mass spectrometry (AMS) for determining wood content in the WPC. TGA method using derivative peak temperature (DTp) of polypropylene under low heating rate ($5^{\circ}C/min$) showed more reliable calibration curve and lower error factor compared to method of using the percentage of weight loss of wood flour. In addition, AMS using bio-based carbon content showed greater reliability for the determination of wood content in the WPC in comparison with the TGA method.

현재 국내에서 사용되고 있는 신분 인증 시스템은 주민등록번호와 같은 개인 정보를 기반으로 인증을 수행하여, 프라이버시 침해 위협이 존재한다. 그 해결 방안으로 가상 ID를 이용하는 I-PIN과 e-ID 카드가 제안되었지만, 문제점은 ID와 패스워드만 알고 있다면 누구나 도용이 가능하고 오프라인에서 사용하는 플라스틱 카드의 경우 위 변조가 가능하다는 한계를 갖는다. 본 논문에서는 주민등록번호를 대체할 식별 데이터인 QR-ID를 생성하고, 이에 기반을 둔 QR-ID 카드를 제안한다. QR 코드는 인식기에 대한 제약이 적고 일부 데이터 조작만으로 새로운 QR 코드 생성이 가능하여 노출 시 새로운 ID로 갱신할 수 있으며, QR-ID는 소유자의 바이오메트릭 데이터로 암호화되어 타인이 복호화 할 수 없다.

Microplastics are one of the substances threatening the marine ecosystem. Here, we summarize the status of research on the effect of microplastics on marine life and suggest future research directions. Microplastics are synthetic polymeric compounds smaller than 5 mm and these materials released into the environment are not only physically small but do not decompose over time. Thus, they accumulate extensively on land, from the coast to the sea, and from the surface to the deep sea. Microplastic can be ingested and accumulated in marine life. Furthermore, the elution of chemicals added to plastic represents another risk. Microplastics accumulated in the ocean affect the growth, development, behavior, reproduction, and death of marine life. However, the properties of microplastics vary widely in size, material, shape, and other aspects and toxicity tests conducted on several properties of microplastics cannot represent the hazards of all other microplastics. It is necessary to evaluate the risks according to the types of microplastic, but due to their variety and the lack of uniformity in research results, it is difficult to compare and analyze the results of previous studies. Therefore, it is necessary to derive a standard test method to estimate the biological risk from different types of microplastics. In addition, while most of the previous studies were conducted mostly on spheres for the convenience of the experiments, they do not properly reflect the reality that fibers and fragments are the main forms of microplastics in the marine environment and in fish and shellfish. Furthermore, studies have been conducted on additives and POPs (persistent organic pollutants) in plastics, but little is known about their toxic effects on the body. The effects of microplastics on the marine ecosystems and humans could be identified in more detail if standard testing methods are developed, microplastics in the form of fibers and fragments rather than spheres are tested, and additives and POPs are analyzed. These investigations will allow us to identify the impact of microplastics on marine ecosystems and humans in more detail.

The production of polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) using Sequencing Batch Reactor (SBR) was investigated. The experiments were performed in two fabricated SBRs (4 L) of different oxidation state. Synthetic wastewater was used as substrate, using C/N/P ratio of 42:10:1. SBR 1 and SBR 2 were operated in aerobic dynamic feeding (ADF) and anaerobic/oxic dynamic feeding (AODF) condition, respectively. ADF provide feast and famine in aerobic condition, while AODF in anaerobic/oxic condition. PHAs production was found high in AODF than AOF. Maximum PHAs content of 40.0% (w/w)of biomass were produced in AODF mode. Produced PHAs structural and thermal property were good.

몇해 전만 해도 대부분의 과학자들은 신장이나 심장과 같은 인간의 조직은 장기제공자로부터 직접 이식을 받거나 또는 플라스틱, 금속 그리고 컴퓨터칩으로 만든 완전 인공부붚므오만 대체할 수 있다고 믿고 있었다. 또 많은 사람들은 생세포와 인공폴리머의 혼성물인 바이오인공장기는 결코 제작할 수 없으며 이식용 인간장기의 부족을 충당할 수 있는 유일한 길은 동물의 장기를 사용하는 것 뿐이라고 생각했다. 그러나 앞으로는 조직공학이라는 새로운 생명과학기술의 진보로 간질환 환자가 자기의 간세포와 플라스틱섬유로 만든 '네오(신)장기' 이식으로 병을 치유할 수 있고 인슐린에 의존하던 당뇨병환자가 대체용 췌장 덕에 인슐린주사를 자주 맞을 필요가 없게 되며 신장병환자는 누구든지 자기의 세포로 키운 새로운 신장을 이식할 수 있게 되어 신장투석기의 모습이 세상에서 사라지게 되는 시대를 기대할 수 있게 되었다. 또 우리 몸을 형성하는 육체의 '부품'을 사고 팔 수 있는 시대가 뜻밖에도 빨리 다가올지 모른다고 생각하고 있는 과학자들도 있다.
