Background and Objectives : The aim of the this study is to determine the efficacy of an external prosthesis made of ringed Polytetrafluoroethylene to prevent Postanastomotic stenosis after surgical correction of extensive tracheal defects in rabbits. Materials and Methods : Thirty rabbits were used, divided into two groups of 15 animals each. Group A rabbits underwent resection of six-ring segments of the cervical trachea and tracheal end-to-end anastomosis. The Procedure used in group B was similar to that used in group A. but the tracheal anastomosis was supported by an external ringed polytetrafluoroethylene prosthesis. After six months, rabbits were killed and tracheas were resected and then compared the postanastomotic tracheal stenosis using morphometry. Results : Anteroposterior diameter, transverse diameter, cross sectional area and intra luminal perimeter of trachea was greater in group B than group A. Also inflammatory changes of mucosa and submucosa were greater in group A than group B. Conclusion : A ringed PTFE as a external stent was effective to prevent tracheal stenosis resulting from the extensive tracheal resection and tracheal reconstruction in rabbits.

본 연구에서는 PTFE 100%, PTFE 90% + 카본블랙 10%, PTFE 85% + 유리섬유 15%, PTFE 80% + 유리섬유 15% + 이황화몰리브덴($MoS_2$) 5%, PTFE 75% + 유리섬유 25%, PTFE 75% + 카본블랙 18% + 흑연 7% 복합물들의 기계적 물성을 연구하고 DSC 및 TGA를 이용하여 복합물의 융해열(${\Delta}H_f$)과 열적 안정성에 관한 실험을 수행하였다. 또한 내구시험법을 이용하여 PTFE 오일씰의 립부 마모형상 및 마모량을 측정하였다. SEM을 이용하여 마모표면을 관찰하였다. PTFE에 유리섬유와 이황화몰리브덴을 첨가하여 실험결과에 따르면, 인장강도 및 신율은 저하되지만 경도, 내마모성 및 내구성 보강의 효과를 얻을 수 있음을 알 수 있었다. PTFE 복합재질 6가지중 PTFE 80% + 유리섬유 15% + 이황화몰리브덴 5%의 복합물이 PTFE 오일씰 제작에 가장 알맞은 재질임을 확인하였다.

Porous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) thin films are fabricated by spin-coating using a dispersion solution containing PTFE powders, and their crystalline properties are investigated after thermal annealing at various temperatures ranging from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$. Before thermal annealing, the film is densely packed and consists of many granular particles 200-300 nm in diameter. However, after thermal annealing, the film contains many voids and fibrous grains on the surface. In addition, the film thickness decreases after thermal annealing owing to evaporation of the surfactant, binder, and solvent composing the PTFE dispersion solution. The film thickness is systematically controlled from 2 to $6.5{\mu}m$ by decreasing the spin speed from 1,500 to 500 rpm. A triboelectric nanogenerator is fabricated by spin-coating PTFE thin films onto polished Cu foils, where they act as an active layer to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. A triboelectric nanogenerator consisting of a PTFE layer and Al metal foil pair shows typical output characteristics, exhibiting positive and negative peaks during applied strain and relief cycles due to charging and discharging of electrical charge carriers. Further, the voltage and current outputs increase with increasing strain cycle owing to accumulation of electrical charge carriers during charge-discharge.

The effects of $^{60}Co\;{\gamma}-Ray$ irradiation on TSC characteristics of TFE type polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) were investigated. The $\alpha$ peak on TSC curve of PTFE was decreased, while the $\beta$ peak was reversely increased by the increasing of $\gamma$-irradiation doses up to 80 krad(0.8 kGy). Moreover, $\alpha$ and $\beta$ peaks on TSC curve of the irradiated PTFE are changed with the increasing of the forming temperature and forming electric field. In annealing the irradiated PTFE specimens at room temperature in air, it was shown a continuous recovery of TSC characteristics with time, which is assumed the traped charge carriers are liberated from the shallow traps and undergoes a recombination process during room temperature decay.

1 keV $Ar^+$ 이온빔을 이용하여 polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)의 표면을 개질하고 그 위에 $5000\;{\AA}$의 구리 박막을 이온빔 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 증착하였다. 이온빔 조사에 의하여 PTFE의 표면에는 cone이 형성되며 cone의 높이는 이온 조사량이 증가함에 따라 점차로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) 분석을 통하여 조사된 PTFE의 표면에서는 이온 조사량이 증가함에 따라 Fls peak의 강도가 감소하며 이는 F 원자의 선택적인 스퍼터링에 기인한 것으로 생각된다. 또한 이온 조사에 의해 생성된 불안정한 사슬들은 crosslinking에 의하여 새로운 C-F 계열의 결합들을 생성하였다. 이온빔 스퍼터링법에 의하여 증착된 구리 박막은 PTFE 표면의 cone을 따라 균일하게 증착되며 PTFE의 표면 거칠기가 증가함에 따라 (111) 방향으로 우선 성장함을 알 수 있었다. 증착된 구리 박막의 비저항은 개질전 PTFE의 $2.7{\mu}{\Omega}cm$에서 $1{\tiems}10^{16}/\textrm{cm}^2$의 이온 조사량으로 개질된 PTFE의 $4.3{\mu}{\Omega}cm$까지 이온 조사량에 따라 점차로 증가하였다. $1{\tiems}10^{17}/\textrm{cm}^2$의 이온 조사량으로 개질된 PTFE 위에 증착된 구리 박막의 갑작스런 비저항 증가는 구리 박막의 단락에 의한 것으로 보인다.

Introduction: Guided bone regeneration (GBR) is a common procedure for the treatment of bone defects and bone augmentation. The nonresorbable barriers are well-documented barriers for GBR because of their stability and malleability. However, few GBR studies have focused on the different types of non-resorbable barriers. Therefore, this study examined the clinical results of different non-resorbable barriers for GBR; expanded polytetrafluoroethylene (e-PTFE) (TR-Gore Tex, Flagstaff, AZ, USA), and high-density polytetrafluoroethylene (d-PTFE) (Cytoplast membrane, Oraltronics, Bremen, Germany). Materials and Methods: The analysis was performed on patients treated with GBR and implant placement from January 2007 to October 2007 in the department of the Seoul National University Bundang Hospital. The patients were divided into two groups based on the type of non-resorbable barrier used, and the amount of bone regeneration, marginal bone resorption after prosthetics, implant survival rate and surgical complication in both groups were evaluated. Results: The implants in both groups showed high survival rates, and the implant-supported prostheses functioned stably during the follow-up period. During the second surgery of the implant, all horizontal defects were filled with new bone, and there was no significant difference in the amount of vertical bone defect. Conclusion: In bone defect areas, GBR with non-resorbable barriers can produce favorable results with adequate postoperative management. There was no significant difference in bone regeneration between e-PTFE and d-PTFE.

본 연구에서는 방사선을 이용하여 다공성 polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) 지지체에 acrylonitrile(AN)과 친수성 작용기를 가진 sodium allylsulfonate(SAS)를 접목시켜 복합 연료전지막의 지지체로 사용되는 친수화 다공성 지지체를 제조하였다. SAS/AN의 몰비율, 단량체 농도, 방사선의 조사선량에 변화를 주어 제조된 지지체의 물성을 평가하였다. 제조된 지지체의 FTIR 분석을 통하여 각 단량체들이 다공성 PTFE 지지체에 성공적으로 그래프팅되었음을 확인하였다. 또한 FE-SEM과 gurley number 측정을 이용하여 그래프트율이 증가할수록 지지체 표면의 기공이 감소하는 것을 관찰하였고, 그래프트율, 접촉각, TBO(toluidine blue O) uptake 분석을 통해 그래프트율이 증가됨에 따라 제조된 지지체의 친수화도가 증가하는 것을 확인하였다.

레이저 용발법을 이용하여 폴리테트라플루오르에틸렌(PTFE: polytetrafluoroethylene) 박막을 증착하였다 사용한 레이저는 1064 nm Nd:YAG 레이저이고, 타겟은 그라파이트 분말이 도핑된 PTFE 펠릿(pellet) 이었다. 그라파이트는 포톤에너지를 효과적으로 흡수하여 열에너지로 전환시키고, 이 에너지를 인접한 PTFE에 전달한다. PTFE는 전달받은 열에너지에 의해서 열분해 된다. 타겟 표면에서 열분해에 의해 형성된 PTFE 단량체(monomer)들은 기판위에서 재중합반응(repolymerization)하여 필름을 형성하게 된다. 증착된 필름은 투명하고 결정화된 필름이었다. 주사전자현미경(SEM: scanning electron microscopy)과 원자현미경(AFM: atomic force microscopy)으로 분석한 결과, 필름의 표면은 박막의 두께가 증가할수록 섬유구조(fibrous structure)를 보였다. X선 광전자 분광기(XPS: X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy), 퓨리에 변화 적외선 분광기(FTIR: fouirer transform infrared spectroscopy)와 X선 회절분광기(XRD: X-ray diffraction)로 분석한 결과, 필름의 F/C 비는 1.7이고 분자축(molecular axis)은 기판과 나란했다.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) surface was modified for improving hydrophilicity by ion irradiation in environmental gas of $N_2$ and $NH_3$, respectively. The water contact angle onto the PTFE surface increased from $104{\circ}$ to over $140{\circ}$ by Ar ion irradiation in $N_2$ gas. In the case of $NH_3$ as environmental gas, there were a slight increase of contact angle from ion dose of $1{\times}10^{15}\;to\;5{\times}10^{15}\;ions/cm^2$, and its dramatic decrease to the value of 35o at the conditions of ion dose higher than $1{\times}10^{16}\;ions/cm^2$. It was found from SEM results that the surface morphology of PTFE was changed into one with filament structure after Ar ion irradiation in $N_2$ gas environments. On the contrary, Ar ion irradiation in $NH_3$ gas condition induced the PTFE surface with network structure. Hydrogen ion irradiation resulted in a little change of PTFE surface morphology, comparing with the case of Ar ion irradiation. The water contact angle of hydrogen ion irradiated PTFE surface in reactive gas decreased with increment of ion dose. Hydrogen ion irradiation could improve hydrophilicity with little change of surface morphology. It might be considered from FT-IR results that the improvement in wettability of PTFE surface by ion irradiation in $N_2$ and $NH_3$ gases could be due to the hydrophilic groups of NHx bonds.

Deficiencies in wear and frost resistance as well as mechanical strength constitute the main causes of equipment failure under the harsh climatic conditions of the Earth's polar regions. To improve the properties of the materials used in this equipment, nanoparticle composites have been prepared from clays such as kaolinite, hectorite, and montmorillonite in combination with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) or ultrahigh molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE). A number of techniques have been proposed to disperse silicate particles in PTFE or UHMWPE polymer matrices, and several successful processes have even been widely applied. Polymer nanocomposites that exhibit enhanced mechanical and thermal properties are promising materials for replacing metals and glass in the equipment intended for Arctic use. In this article, we will review PTFE- and UHMWPE-based layered silicate nanocomposites.
