The purpose of this study was to observe the effect of $Biocoral^R$ graft and bioglass 45S5 graft in combination with ePTFE membrane in periodontal osseous defects for new bone formation. Nine healthy dogs were used. Under general anesthesia, 3-wall defects were created on the mesial and distal surfaces of the maxillary right canines, the mesials of the maxillary right second premolars, the distals of the mandibular right canines and the mesials of the mandibular right third premolars. To induce periodontitis, a silicone rubber, $Provil^R$ light body, was injected under pressure into the defects. Ninety days later, $Provil^R$was removed and followed by thorough root planing. The followings were then applied in the mesial and distal defects of the maxillary right canines, the mesials of the maxillary right second premolars, the distals of the mandibular right canines and the mesials of the mandibular right third premolars by random selections : 1) ePTFE membrane only application, 2) $Biocoral^R$ graft, 3) $Biocoral^R$ graft and ePTFE membrane application, 4)Bioglass 45S5 graft, 5) Bioglass 45S5 graft and ePTFE membrane application. The membranes were removed 1 month later. The dogs were sacrified at 1, 2 and 3 months following the graft, and block sections were made, demineralized, embedded, stained and examined by light microscope and transmission electron microscope. On the sections from teeth treated with ePTFE membrane only, the defect demonstrated extensive connnective tissue and alveolar bone regeneration. The $Biocoral^R$ graft group demonstrated extensive bone regeneration compared with ePTFE membrane only group. In the $Biocoral^R$ graft plus ePTFE membrane group, regeneration of new alveolus and crest occurred within the defect. As the experimental period lengthened, bone regeneration was increased and bone bridge was formed among the graft particles. The but bioglass 45S5 graft group demonstrated extensive bone regeneration but the amount of new bone was less than that of the $Biocoral^R$ graft group. For the bioglass 45S5 graft plus ePTFE membrane group, the amount of new bone was also increased. As the experimental period lengthened, bone regeneration was increased. Multinucleated giant cells, fibroblasts and macrophages were observed. As the bone formation was increased, the number of such cells was decreased. In conclusion, the $Biocoral^R$ was found better than the bioglass 45S5 for new bone formation, and the use of ePTFE membrane alone or with $Biocoral^R$/bioglass 45S5 can be supported as potential methods of promoting bone formation.

Following the 2002 World-Cup held in Korea, studies have been actively conducted on plans to utilize all-weather stadiums of fine figures, where large-scale spaces are available for various utilizations. In Japan, dome-type stadiums have been built and are utilizing across the whole nation not only for sports events but also variety of other large-scale events. PTFE(poly tetra fluoro ethylene) is one of the membrane material mainly used for the outer ceiling surface of membrane structures. However, there has not been enough research on the acoustical properties of PTFE membrane material which has been widely used in the multi-purpose stadiums. In this study, air permeability values and sound absorption coefficient of PTFE membrane materials were measured and evaluated in the gymnasium. From the results of measurements of sound absorption coefficient and air permeability of inner membrane materials, it was found that the sound absorption coefficient was good in the air permeability range of $5{\sim}15\;cc/cm^2/s$. Also the relation ship between air permeability and sound absorption coefficient was very high and the sound absorption coefficient was the highest in the range of $6{\sim}9\;cc/cm^2/s$. Secondly, an analysis on the measurements sound absorption characteristics of inner membrane material reveals that the overall sound absorption coefficient was stabilized(higher than 0.5 throughout the whole frequency bands) when the air space behind the membrane material was deeper than 600 mm. When PTFE sound absorptive membrane material was installed in the ceiling of gymnasium, it was confirmed that sound absorptive membrane material can reduce reverberation and increase speech intelligibility in the gymnasium.

This study was performed to evaluate the effect of inorganic polyphosphate on bone formation in the calvaria of rabbit in the procedure of guided bone regeneration with bovine cancellous bone graft and titanium reinforced expanded polytetrafluoroethylene(TR-ePTFE) membrane. The rabbits were divided into four groups. Control group I used only TR-ePTFE membrane, control group II used TR-ePTFE membrane and deproteinized bovine bone mineral soaked in saline, experimental group III and IV used TR-ePTFE membrane and deproteinized bovine bone mineral soaked in 1% or 2% inorganic polyphosphate respectively. After decortication in the calvaria, GBR procedure was performed on 12 rabbits with titanium reinforced ePTFE membrane filled with deproteinized bovine bone mineral soaked in saline or inorganic polyphosphate. The animals were sacrificed at 2 weeks, 4 weeks, and 8 weeks after the surgery. Decalcified and non-decalcified specimens were processed for histologic and immunohistochemistric analysis. 1. Titanium reinforced ePTFE(TR-ePTFE) membrane showed good spacemaking and cell occlusiveness capability, but it showed poor wound stabilization. 2. The deproteinized bovine bone mineral did not promote bone regeneration, but it acted as a space filler. 3. There was no complete resorption of the deproteinized bovine bone mineral within 8 weeks. 4. 1% inorganic polyphosphate did not promote bone formation, but 2% inorganic polyphosphate promoted bone formation. Within the above results, 2% inorganic polyphosphate could be used effectively for bone regeneration.

전 바나듐 레독스 흐름 전지(VRFB)는 유망한 대용량 에너지 저장 기술 중 하나이다. 이온교환막은 VRFB의 충·방전 성능 및 내구성을 좌우하는 핵심 구성 요소이다. 본 연구에서는 기존 탄화수소계 이온교환막의 단점을 보완하기 위해 우수한 물리적 및 화학적 안정성을 갖는 다공성 폴리테트라플루오로에틸렌(PTFE) 지지체의 세공에 불소부가 포함된 탄화수소계 이오노머를 충진하는 방식으로 세공충진 음이온교환막(PFAEMs)을 제조하였다. 얇은 다공성 PTFE 지지체의 사용으로 전기적 저항을 현저히 낮출 수 있었으며 PTFE 지지체의 사용과 더불어 충진 이오노머에 불소부를 도입함으로써 막의 산화 안정성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있었다. 충·방전 성능 평가 결과, PFAEM에 불소부의 함량이 증가할수록 높은 전류 효율을 나타내었으며 낮은 전기적 저항으로 상용막 대비 우수한 전압 효율 및 에너지 효율을 보였다. 또한, 산화 안정성 및 충·방전성능의 관점에서 소수성 PTFE 지지체의 사용이 더 바람직함을 확인하였다.

Polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) fibers are widely used in the textile industry, filter media, membrane distillation, electronic appliances, and construction. In this study, PTFE-polyethylene oxide (PEO) fibrous membranes were fabricated by emulsion electrospinning; subsequently, pure PTFE nanofibers were obtained via sintering. PTFE-PEO electrospinning solutions were prepared using different weight ratios to determine the optimized condition. As the ratio of the PEO increased, the fiber structure improved. Scanning electron microscopy and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy observations indicate that PEO is removed and PTFE fused gradually to form bonds among them during sintering. The obtained pristine PTFE membrane demonstrated hydrophobicity at 143.6° water contact angle and oleophilicity at 0° oil contact angle, which is known to be utilized for oil/water separation. A simple separation experiment was performed to remove oil droplets from water. The PTFE membrane exhibited good chemical stability and a high surface-area-to-volume nanofiber ratio. These excellent properties suggest that it is applicable to oil/water separation in harsh chemical environments.

본 연구에서는 막 접촉기에서 운전조건에 따른 암모니아 제거 특성에 대해 알아보았다. 물질 전달 계수를 이용하여 각 조건에서의 암모니아 제거효율을 정량적으로 비교하였다. PTFE 재질의 막을 이용한 본 시스템에서 빠른 시간 내에 효율적으로 암모니아 탈기가 가능하였다. 여러 가지 운전조건 항목 중에서 접촉시간과 용액의 pH가 전체 제거 효율에 가장 큰 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 다른 가압 방식의 막 분리 공정과는 다르게 본 공정에서는 유입수의 고형물질에 의해 효율이 감소하는 현상은 발견되지 않았다. 또한, 삼투 증류(osmotic distillation)에 의해 물질 전달 효율이 감소하는 현상은 흡수용액의 온도를 증가시키는 것으로 해결할 수 있었다. 본 연구에 사용한 막 접촉기 시스템은 유입수와 흡수용액(stripping solution)의 유속, 유입수의 pH 등을 최적화 할 경우에 고농도 암모니아 제거에 효과적으로 사용할 수 있을 것이라 예상된다.

기계적 에너지는 생물학 및 환경 시스템에서 트라이보 전기 나노제너레이터(TENG)로 얻을 수 있다. 웨어러블 전자제품에서 TENG는 진동 센서에 적용된 인간의 움직임에서 생체역학적 에너지를 수확할 수 있다는 점에서 많은 의미를 지닌다. 웨어러블 TENG은 습기에 취약하며, 폴리테트라플루오로에틸렌(PTFE)은 이러한 용도에 사용되는 우수한 소수성 물질이다. 높은 전기 음성 불소 원자의 존재는 매우 낮은 표면 에너지로 이어진다. 동시에 미세다공막 표면에 전자를 효율적으로 포획함으로써 소자의 성능이 증가한다. PTFE에 비해 상대적으로 적은 플루오라이드 원자의 존재로 인해 폴리비닐리덴 플루오라이드(PVDF)에서도 유사한 거동을 보인다.

Purpose: The carrier used as delivery agent for bone morphogenetic proteins(BMPs) should also act as a scaffold for new bone formation. Moreover, bone formation should be predictable in terms of the volume and shape. This study examined the osteogenic effect of macroporous biphasic calcium phosphate (MBCP) block combined with ePTFE membrane as a carrier for recombinant human bone morphogenetic proteins (rhBMP-2). In addition, the additive effect of ePTFE membrane on bone formation was evaluated. Materials and Methods: Eight-millimeter critical sized calvarial defects were created surgically in 28 male Sprague-Dawley rats. The animals were divided into 2 groups containing 14 animals each. The defects were treated with either rhBMP-2/MBCP block (rhBMP-2/MBCP group) or rhBMP-2/MBCP block/ePTFE membrane (rhBMP-2/MBCP/ePTFE group). A disc-shaped MBCP block (3 mm height and 8 mm diameter) was used as the carrier for the rhBMP-2 and ePTFE membrane was used to cover the rhBMP-2/MBCP block. The histologic and histometric parameters were used to evaluate the defects after 2- or 8-week healing period (7 animals/group/healing interval). Results: The level of bone formation in the defects of both groups was significantly higher at 8 weeks than that at 2 weeks (P < 0.05). The ePTFE membrane has no additional effect compared with the rhBMP-2/MBCP block only. However, at 8 weeks, rhBMP-2/MBCP/ePTFE group showed more even bone formation on the top of the MBCP block than the rhBMP-2/MBCP group. Conclusion: These results suggest that the ePTFE membrane has no additive effect on bone formation when a MBCP block is used as a carrier for rhBMP-2.
