본 연구에서는 방사선 기술을 이용하여 항염증 특성을 가지는 천연 추출물을 함유하는 고분자 하이드로젤을 제조하여 항염증 패치로서의 유용성을 확인하였다. 천연 추출물로는 오래 전부터 전통 민간요법으로 항염제나 궤양 및 종양 치료 등에 사용되고 있는 느릅나무를 사용하였고, 생체 적합성 고분자인 poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)와 보습률 향상을 위해 글리세린을 첨가하여 감마선 가교에 의해 다당류 함유 고분자 하이드로젤을 제조하였다. 제조된 하이드로젤은 항염증 패치로 사용하기에 우수한 기계적 물성을 나타내었고, 사이토카인 분비를 효과적으로 억제함은 물론 세포독성도 나타나지 않는 것을 확인하였다. 결론적으로 느릅나무 추출 다당류가 함유된 하이드로젤은 항염증 패치로써 유용하게 사용될 수 있음을 확인하였다.

미생물을 배양하여 불포화 폴리히드록시알칸오에이트 (PHAs)를 생합성하고 이 고분자를 유화상태에서 자발적인 용매 확산방법을 이용한 나노입자의 제조와 다양한 실험적 변수가 입자형성에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지에 대하여 조사하였다. 생합성된 고분자의 물리화학적 특성은 핵 자기 공명 분광계, ATR 적외선 분광분석, 시차 주사 열분석, 젤 투과크로마토그래피로 확인하였으며, 나노입자의 형태는 주사 전자 현미경을 통하여 관찰하였고 입자크기 및 분포는 전기영동 광산란 광도계를 사용하여 확인하였다. 초음파의 강도와 시간이 증가함에 따라 나노입자의 평균 입자직경은 감소하였고 고분자용액의 농도, 유화제의 검화도와 중합도의 증가에 따라서 나노입자의 평균 입자직경은 증가하였고 유화제의 농도 2∼4%에서 평균 입자직경이 최소였으며, 비용매인 에탄올의 첨가가 양용매인 클로로포름만 첨가하였을 때보다 평균 입자직경이 감소하는 것을 관찰하였다.

This paper deals with the separation of MTBE-methanol mixtures using crosslinked Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) membranes with sulfur-succinic acid(SSA) as a crosslinking agent by pervaporation and vapor permeation technique. The operating temperatures, methanol concentration in feed mixtures, and SSA concentrations in PVA membranes were varied to investigate the separation performance of PVA/SSA membranes and the optimum separation characteristics by pervaporation and vapor permeation. And also, for PVA/SSA membranes, the swelling measurements were carried out to study the transport phenomena. The swelling measurements were carried out for pure MTBE and methanol, and MTBE/methanol=90/10, 80/20 mixtures using PVA/SSA membranes with varying SSA compositions. There are two factors of the membrane network and the hydrogen bonding. In pervaporation separation was also carried out for MTBE/methanol=90/10, 80/20 mixtures at various temperatures. The sulfuric acid group in SSA took an important role in the membrane performance. The crosslinking effect might be over the hydrogen bonding effect due to the sulfuric acid group at 3 and 5% SSA membranes, and this two factors act vice versa on 7% SSA membrane. In this case, the 5% SSA membrane shows the highest separation factor of 2,095 with the flux of 12.79g/㎡$.$hr for MTBE/methanol=80/20 mixtures at 30$^{\circ}C$ which this mixtures show near the azeotopic composition. Compared to pervaporation, vapor permeation showed less flux and similar separation factor. In this case, the flux decreased significantly because of compact structure and the effect of hydrogen bonding. In vapor permeation, density or concentration of methanol in vaporous feed is lower than that of methanol in liquid feed, as a result, the hydrogen bonding portion between the solvent and the hydroxyl group in PVA is reduced in vapor permeation. In this case, the 7% SSA membranes shows the highest separation factor of 2,187 with the flux of 4.84g/㎡$.$hr for MTBE/methanol=80/20 mixtures at 30$^{\circ}C$.

Lignin is an abundant natural polymer in the biosphere and second only to cellulose; however, it is under-utilized and considered a waste. In this study, lignin was fabricated into nanofibers via electrospinning. The critical parameters that affected the electrospinnability and morphology of the resulting fibers were examined with the aim to utilize lignin as a resource for a new textile material. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was added as a carrier polymer to facilitate the fiber formation of lignin, and the electrospun fibers were deposited on polyester (PET) nonwoven substrate. Eleven lignin/PVA hybrid solutions with a different lignin to PVA mass ratio were prepared and then electrospun to find an optimum concentration. Lignin nano-fibers were electrospun under a variety of conditions such as various feed rates, needle gauges, electric voltage, and tip-to-collector distances in order to find an optimum spinning condition. We found that the optimum concentration for electrospinning was a 5wt% PVA precursor solution upon the addition of lignin with the mass ratio of PVA:lignin=1:5.6. The viscosity of the lignin/PVA hybrid solution was determined as an important parameter that affected the electrospinning process; in addition, the interrelation between the viscosity of hybrid solution and the electrospinnability was examined. The solution viscosity increased with lignin loading, but exhibited a shear thinning behavior beyond a certain concentration that resulted in needle clogging. A steep increase in viscosity was also noted when the electrospun system started to form fibers. Consequently, the viscosity range to produce bead-free lignin nanofibers was revealed. The energy dispersive X-ray analysis confirmed that lignin remained after being transformed into nanofibers. The results indicate the possibility of developing a new fiber material that utilizes biomass with resulting fibers that can be applied to various applications such as filtration to wound dressing.

Immobilization of anaerobic ammonium oxidizing bacteria has been studied to enhance the biomass retention of the slowly growing bacteria and the process stability. The purpose of this study was to compare the nitrogen removal efficiency of granular and immobilized anammox bacteria with poly vinyl alcohol and alginate. The specific anammox activity of the granular, homoginized and immobilized anammox bacteria were $0.016{\pm}0.0002gN/gVSS/d$, $0.011{\pm}0.001gN/gVSS/d$ and $0.007{\pm}0.0005gN/gVSS/d$, respectively. Although the activity decreased to 43.7 % of the original one due to low pH and $O_2$ exposure during the homogination and the immobilization, it was rapidly recovered within 7 days in the following continuous culture. When synthetic T-N concentrations of 100, 200, 400, 800 mg/L were fed, the immobilized anammox bacteria showed higher nitrogen removal efficiencies at all operational conditions than those of granular anammox bacteria. When the sludge retention time was shorten below 30.7 days and the reject water was fed, the nitrite removal efficiency of the granular anammox bacteria dropped to 8 % of the initial value, while that of the immobilized anammox bacteria was maintained over 95 % of the initial one. The immobilization with poly vinyl alcohol and alginate would be a feasible method to improve the performance and stability of the anammox process.

To demonstrate the effect of formulation conditions and evaluations of structural integrity from ovalbumin containing poly lactide glycolide copolymer (PLGA) microspheres for Vaccine delivery, OVA microspheres were prepared by a W/O/W multiple emulsion solvent extraction technique. Dichloromethan (DCM) and Ethyl acetate (EA) were applied as an organic phase and poly vinyl alcohol (PVA) as a secondary emulsion stabilizer. Microspheres were characterized for particle size, morphology (optical microscopy and Scanning Electron Microscope (SEM)). Protein denaturation was evaluated by size exclusion chromatography (SEC), SDS-PAGE and isoelectric focusing (IEF). Residual organic solvent was estimated by gas chromatography (GC) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). Optical photomicrograph and SEM revealed that micro spheres were typically spherical but various morphologies were observed. Mean particle size $(d_{vs})$ of microspheres were in the range of $3{\sim}50{\mu}m$. Also, The protein stability was not affected by the fonnulation process and residual organic solvent was beyond the detection below 0.1ppm. These results demonstrated that micro spheres might be a good candidate for the parenteral vaccine delivery system.

폴리우레탄(PU)과 폴리비닐알콜(PVA)의 고분자 블렌드를 제조하고 피브리노겐 흡착, 혈장 재칼슘화 시간, 혈소판 점착, 전혈 응고실험, 보체 활성도 측정 등의 방법을 이용하여 혈액적 합성을 평가하였다. 또한 PU/PVA 고분자 블렌드에서 PVA 분자의 운동성이 혈액적합성에 미치는 영향을 조사하기 위하여 PVA를 글루타알데히드를 이용하여 가교시킨 후, 혈액적합성을 조사하였다. PU/PVA 고분자 블렌드에서의 피브리노겐 흡착은 블렌드내의 PVA 양이 증가할수록 감소하였으며, 10-50wt%의 PVA를 포함한 고분자 블렌드에서의 혈장 재칼슘화 시간은 PU, PVA 및 PVA 함량이 높은 고분자 블렌드들에 비해서 길게 나타났다. 또한 30-50 wt%의 PVA를 포함한 블렌드에서 혈소판 형태 변화와 점착량이 가장 적었으며 혈액응고와 보체 활성도도 가장 낮았다. 한편 가교된 고분자 블렌드의 혈액적합성은 가교되지 않은 것에 비하여 현저하게 저하되었다. 이와같은 결과로부터 PVA가 30-50 wt% 포함된 고분자 블렌드에서의 혈액적합성이 다른 것에 비하여 상대적으로 우수함이 고찰되었고, PVA 가교실험의 결과에 의하면 고분자 블렌드에서의 혈액적합성은 재료 표면에 노출된 PVA 분자들의 운동성과 연관이 있는 것으로 사료된다.
