Polymer blending constitutes a most useful method for the improvement or modification of the physicochemical properties of polymeric materials. Some of the polymer blends exhibit unusual properties, unexpected from homopolymers. An important property of a polymer blend is the miscibility of its component, because it affects the mechanical properties, the morphology, its permeability and degradation [1, 2]. (omitted)

In this work, we prepared hydrogels for wound dressing from a mixture of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and alginate using the $\^$60/Co ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation technique. We examined the physical properties of these hydrogels, including gelation, water absorptivity, and gel strength, to evaluate the applicability of these hydrogels for wound dressings. The biocompatibility of these hydrogels was also evaluated in vitro, in cultures of mouse fibroblasts, and in vivo, by subcutaneous implantation studies in rats. The gel content and strength increased upon increasing the radiation dose and upon decreasing the concentration of alginate. The degree of swelling was inversely proportional to the gel content and strength. The degree of cytotoxicity of the ${\gamma}$-ray-treated hydrogels was ca. 60% compared to the (－) control (serum) after 1 day of incubation. When the incubations were prolonged up to 2 days, the toxicity of all the samples decreased remarkably and reached that of the control. Subcutaneous implantation studies in rats indicated that foreign body reactions occurring around the implanted hydrogels were moderate and became minimal upon increasing the implantation time.

알긴산은 $\alpha$-($1{\rightarrow}4$)-L-guluronic acid(G)와 $\beta$-($1{\rightarrow}4$)-D-mannuronic acid(M)로 구성되어 있으며, 생체친화성, 무독성, 생분해성, 친수성 및 상대적으로 낮은 가격으로 인해 창상피복재나 조직공학용 지지체 및 약물운반체 등 생의학적 분야에 널리 이용하기에 적합한 물질이다. 그러나 이러한 특성을 가지는 알긴산 자체는 물에 녹지 않기 때문에 수용성인 알긴산나트륨의 형태로 많이 사용되고 있으나, 그 수용액은 매우 점도와 전도도가 높기 때문에 전기방사에 어려움이 있다. 따라서 전기방사가 가능한 수용성 고분자인 poly(ethylene oxide)(FEO)와 poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)을 혼합하였다. 본 연구에서는 천연 재료인 알긴산과 생체적합성이 뛰어난 수용성 고분자를 혼합하여 전기방사를 통해 나노섬유로 제조하였으며, 제조된 나노섬유는 SEM 분석 및 평균 직경 분석, XRD 분석 등을 통하여 최적 조건을 수립하였다.

본 연구에서는 폴리아마이드 역삼투 복합막 표면에 중성 친수성 고분자인 poly (vinyl alcohol) (PVA)를 코팅한 후 모델 오염물질인 bovine serum albumin (BSA), humic acid (HA), sodium alginate (SA)에 대하여 파울링 개선 효과가 있는지를 알아보고자 하였다. 고분자의 파울링 유도를 위해 모델 오염물질인 BSA, HA, SA 등이 100 ppm으로 용해된 공급원액을 2, 4, 8 atm 조건에서 PVA 코팅된 막과 코팅되지 않은 막에 대하여 파울링 실험을 수행한 결과. 압력이 증가함에 모든 오염물질에 대해서 파울링은 심화되었다. 파울링 심화 현상은 BSA > HA > SA의 순으로 일어났으며, PVA가 코팅된 막에 대해 파울링 개선효과는 HA > BSA > SA의 순으로 나타났다. 전자현미경 사진 결과에서도 같은 경향을 보여주고 있다. 결국, PVA가 코팅된 역삼투막은 어느 경우에서나 파울링 개선효과는 뚜렷하게 있었으며 HA의 경우에서 가장 두드러졌다.

In this study, a poly(vinyl) alcohol/sodium alginate (PVA/SA) mixture was used to fabricate core-shell structured gel beads for autotrophic single-stage nitrogen removal (ASNR) using aerobic and anaerobic ammonia-oxidizing bacteria (AAOB and AnAOB, respectively). For stable ASNR process, the mechanical strength and oxygen penetration depth of the shell layer entrapping the AAOB are critical properties. The shell layer was constructed by an interfacial gelling reaction yielding thickness in the range of 2.01-3.63 mm, and a high PVA concentration of 12.5% resulted in the best mechanical strength of the shell layer. It was found that oxygen penetrated the shell layer at different depths depending on the PVA concentration, oxygen concentration in the bulk phase, and free ammonia concentration. The oxygen penetration depth was around $1,000{\mu}m$ when 8.0 mg/L dissolved oxygen was supplied from the bulk phase. This study reveals that the shell layer effectively protects the AnAOB from oxygen inhibition under the aerobic conditions because of the respiratory activity of the AAOB.

1. INTRODUCTION : With good physical and chemical properties as a membrane material, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) has been widely used for the preparation of several kinds of membranes for different applications. Considering such good physical chemical properties, some people have tried to use it for the formation of reverse osmosis (RO) membranes with a good chemical stability as well as high flux and high rejection rate. However, unfortunately, the performance of the RO membranes based on PVA has not been satisfactory yet. The PVA RO membranes thermally crosslinked have shown very low flux and relatively low salt rejection. In this experiment, ionic polymers such as sodium alginate and chitosan were used together with PVA to increase the nanofiltration performance of the PVA membranes.

A characterization of the permeation and separation using single salt solution was carried out with charged composite membranes. Various charged composite membranes were fabricated by blending an ionic polymer with a nonionic polymer in different ratios. In this study, sodium alginate, chitosan and poly(vinyl alcohol) were employed as anionic, cationic and nonionic polymers, respectively. The permeation and separation behaviors of the aqueous salt solutions have been investigated through the charged composite membranes with various charge densities. As the content of the ionic polymer increased in the membrane, the hydrophilicity of the membrane increased, and pure water flux and the solution flux increased correspondingly, indicating that the permeation performance through the membrane is determined mainly by its hydrophilicity. Electrostatic interaction between the charged membrane and ionic solute molecules, that is, Donnan exclusion, was observed to be attributed to salt rejection to a greater extent, and molecular sieve mechanism was effective for the separation of salts under a similar electrostatic circumstance of solutes.

The nanofiltration (NF) membranes based on poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and sodium alginate (SA) were prespared. Homogeneous PVA/SA blend membranes were prepared by casting a PVA/SA (95/5 in wi%) mixture solution on an acryl plate followed by drying at a room temperature and by cros-slinking with glutaraldehyde (GA) for 20 minutes PVA/SA blend composite membranes were also prepared by coating a PVA/SA (95/5 in wi%) mixture solution on microporous polysulfone(PSF) supports. The PVA/SA active layer of the composite membrane was crosslinked at room temperature by using an membranes were characterized with a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) a fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) and permeation tests. The permeation properties of the composite membrane were as follows: 1.3{{{{ {m }^{2 } }}}}/{{{{ {m }^{2 } }}}}day of flux and >95% of rejection at 200 psi for a 1000 ppm PEG600 solution.

유기발광다이오드(orgianic light emitting diodes, OLEDs)는 대형 유연 디스플레이와 발광원으로서 사물인터넷 (IoT)의 하드웨어 기기 등 다양한 분야에서 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그러나 낮은 일함수의 금속 및 쉽게 반응하는 유기재료 자체의 특성으로 인하여 외부환경에 매우 취약한 단점을 가지고 있으며 특히, 수분과 산소에 민감하여 외부와의 접촉 시 성능이 급속도로 저하되는 현상을 나타내게 된다. 이를 방지하기 위해 PVD, CVD, ALD 와 같은 방법으로 보호막 형성 연구를 진행 중에 있지만 복잡한 공정 및 높은 비용의 문제점 등이 있다. 그러므로 외부 환경에 의한 성능 저하를 차단해주는 저렴하고 단순한 공정의 페시베이션(passivation) 박막 기술 개발이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 유기발광다이오드의 수명 향상을 위하여 스핀코팅(spin-coating) 방법으로 녹색 유기발광다이오드 소자 위에 조성비에 따른 페시베이션 박막을 형성한 후 녹색 유기발광다이오드의 휘도특성 변화를 조사하였다. 페시베이션 용액은 poly vinyl alcohol (PVA)를 기반으로 sodium alginate (SA)를 0, 10, 20, 40 wt%의 조성비로 제조하였으며, 40 wt%의 조성비에서 가장 좋은 배리어 보호 특성을 나타내었다. 최종적으로 PVA + SA 용액의 최적화된 페시베이션 보호막을 제작할 수 있었다.
