Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) and hyaluronic acid(HA) hydrogel membranes were prepared with varying HA contents from 10 to 50 wt% of PVA. The water contents of the resulting PVA-HA hydrogel membranes in various pH conditions were measured. And the permeation coefficient of indomethacin was determined using several PVA-HA hydrogel membranes at various pH conditions and also 37$^{\circ}C$.

본 연구에서는 양이온 교환막으로 Sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK)를 사용하였고, 음이온 교환막은 poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)과 poly(vinyl amine) (PVAm)을 혼합하여 가교시킨 막을 이용하였으며, 이에 대한 막결합형 축전식 탈염 공정(Membrane capacitive deionization, MCDI)의 성능실험을 진행하였다. 음이온 교환막의 함수율, 이온교환용량, FT-IR 측정을 통하여 막의 특성을 알아보았다. 음이온 교환막의 가교 시간이 3 h에서 5 h으로 증가할수록 염 제거 효율은 81.3%에서 65.7, 53.8%로 감소하였다. PVAm의 농도를 40, 60, 80%로 달리하여 실험한 결과 염 제거 효율은 81.3, 75.2, 37.7%로 PVAm이 80% 함량일 때 가장 효율이 떨어졌다. 이는 음이온 교환막의 가교 시간과 PVAm의 농도가 염제거 성능에 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.

In a continuation of our previous studies on blood compatibility profiles of anion-substituted poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes, in which hydroxyl groups have been replaced with carboxymethyl (C-PVA) and sulfonyl groups (S-PVA), we have studied the activation of complement components and the changes in white cell and platelet count in vitro and compared them with those of unmodified PVA, Cuprophane, and low-density polyethylene. Complement activation of fluid phase components, C3a, Bb, iC3b, and SC5b-9, and of bound phases, C3c, C3d, and SC5b-9, were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblot, respectively. The changes in the number of white cells and platelets following complement activation were counted using a Coulter counter. C-PVA and S-PVA activated C3 to a lesser extent than did PVA, which we attribute to the diminished level of surface nucleophiles of the samples. In addition, C- and S-PVA exhibit increased inhibition of Bb production, resulting in a decrease in the extent of C5 activation. Consequently, because of the reduced activation of C3 and C5, C- and S-PVA samples cause marked decreases in the SC5b-9 levels in plasma. We also found that the negatively charged sulfonate and carboxylate groups of the samples cause a greater extent of adsorbtion of the positively charged anaphylatoxins, C3a and C5a, because of strong electrostatic attraction, which in turn provides an inhibition of chemotaxis and activation of leukocytes. The ability to inhibit complement production, together with the binding ability of anaphylatoxins of the C- and S-PVA samples, leads to a prominent decrease in lysis of leukocytes as well as activation of platelets.

순수한 점토 5 wt%를 포함하는 poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) 나노 복합체 필름을 수용액상에서 합성하였다. 합성된 PVA 복합체 필름에는 구조적으로 각각 다른 사포나이트(SPT), 몬모릴로나이트(MMT), 헥토라이트(SWN), 수용성 벤토나이트(PGV) 및 마이카(Mica) 등의 점토를 사용하였다. 이처럼 여러 가지 순수한 점토가 포함된 PVA 복합체 필름에 대해 열적-광학적 성질 및 모폴로지를 평가하였으며, 전자 현미경을 통해 관찰된 PVA 복합체 필름의 나노 구조에서는 점토가 매트릭스에 잘 분산된 부분도 있었지만, 일부에서는 뭉친 부분도 발견되었다. 점토를 사용한 PVA 복합체 필름의 경우에 열적 성질이나 가스 차단성을 증가시키는 데에는 매우 효과적이었지만, 이와는 반대로 광학 투명성에서는 그렇지 못하였다.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)/multi-walled carbon nanotube (MWNT) composite films were prepared by casting a DMSO solution of PVA and MWNTs, whereby the MWNTs were dispersed by sonication. A significant improvement in the mechanical properties of the PVA drawn films was achieved by the addition of a small amount of MWNTs. The initial modulus and the tensile strength of the PVA drawn film increased by 30 % and 45 %, respectively, with the addition of 1 wt% MWNTs, which are close to those calculated from the rule of mixtures, and were strongly dependent upon the orientation of the PVA matrix. The mechanical properties, however, were not improved with a further increase in the MWNT content. The orientation of MWNTs in the composite was not well developed compared to that of the PVA matrix. This result suggests that the improvement of the molecular orientation of the PVA matrix plays a major role in the increase of the mechanical propeties of the drawn PVA/MWNT composite films.

Microbial fuel cells (MFCs) are a bioelectrochemical system where electrochemically active bacteria convert organic waste into electricity. Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) and chitosan (CS) are polymers that have been studied as potential alternative ion exchange membranes to Nafion for many electrochemical systems. This study examined the optimal mixing ratio of PVA and chitosan CS in a PVA:CS composite membrane for MFC applications. PVA:CS composite membranes with 1:1, 2:1, and 3:1 ratios were synthesized and tested. The water uptake and ion exchange capacity, Fourier transform infrared spectra, and scanning electron microscopy images were analyzed to determine the physicochemical properties of PVA:CS membranes. The prepared membranes were applied to the ion exchange membrane of the MFC system, and their effects on the electrochemical performance were evaluated. These results showed that the composite membrane with a 3:1 (PVA:CS) ratio showed comparable performance to the commercialized Nafion membrane and produced more electricity than the other synthesized membranes. The PVA:CS membrane implemented MFCs produced a maximum power density of 0.026 mW cm^-2 from organic waste with stable performance. Therefore, it can be applied to a cost-effective MFC system.

Thermal cross-linking method of poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) using poly(acrylic acid) (PAA) was carried out on PVA/PAA hydrogels. The level of gelation was measured in the PVA/PAA hydrogels with various PAA contents. The swelling behavior at various pHs showed that the swelling kinetics and water contents of the PVA/PAA hydrogels reached equilibrium after 30 h, and the time to reach the equilibrium state decreased with increasing PAA content in the hydrogel. The water content increased with increasing pH of the buffer solution. The permeation and release of the drug were tested using indomethacin as a model drug. The permeated and released amounts of the drug increased with decreasing the PAA content because of the low free volume in the hydrogel due to the higher cross-linking density. The kinetic profile of drug release at various pHs showed that all samples reached the equilibrium state within the 5 h.

폴리비닐알코올 (poly(vinyl alcohol), PVA)는 분해되어 대부분의 성분이 물과 이산화탄소로 전환되는 가장 이상적인 환경친화성 고분자이다. PVA만의 특유한 반응인 비누화 과정에 의해 가지가 모두 제거되기 때문에 화학적인 방법에 의해 완벽한 선형고분자를 얻는 것이 가능하다. PVA는 측쇄에 존재하는 히드록시기의 강력한 수소결합 때문에 우수한 반응성 및 결합성을 보유한 유기 고분자로서, 수용성 뿐 아니라 다양한 소재와 상용성이 있는 것으로 알려져 있다(1-4). (중략)

Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)는 1924년 W. O. Herrmann과 W. Haehnel이 Poly(vinyl esters)를 caustic soda 용액에서 비누화하여 합성한 뒤 많은 연구 및 사용되어지고 있는 고분자이다. 환경친화적이고, 인체에 무해하여 인공관절, 콘택트 렌즈 등에 이용이 되고 있다. 특히 구조가 선형적이고 zig-zag구조를 가지기 때문에 고강도, 고탄성을 갖는 섬유의 제조가 가능한 소재이다[1]. PVA섬유의 제조는 용매를 이용한 습식방사 및 겔방사로 섬유를 제조한다. (중략)

The Synthesis of azobenzene containing long chain fatty acid and poly vinyl alcohol by esterification reaction($C_{n}-Azo-PVA$) was optimized, starting from P-(P'-hydroxy phenyl azo)-benzoic acid and the product of reaction containing azobenzene chromophores was investigated by ultraviolet spectrophotometery in toluene solvent at room temperature. In addition, UV absorption spectra of Langmmuir Blodggett (LB) film deposited on quartz plate have been measured and the structure of these compounds were ascertained by means of Ultraviolet and FT-IR. Recrystallization of reaction product in the solvent results the experimental yield obtained about 22.27% P-(P'-octadecyloxy phenyl azo)-benzoic acid-poly vinyl alcohol. Long chain azobenzene derivative-poly vinyl alcohols are induced phtoisomerization by u, v, and visible light irradiation. The LB film of azobenzene containing long chain fatty acids($C_{18}-Azo-PVA$) are possible of being applied to functional molecular devices such as photomemory and light switching.
