본 연구는 생분해성 고분자인 폴리락틱에시드(Poly(lactic acid; PLA)의 가공성을 향상시키는 연구의 일환으로 순수 PLA, 반응압출법에 의한 화학적으로 개질된 PLA 및 기능성 단량체를 함유한 PLA에 전자선을 조사하여 PLA를 개질한 후 유변학적 특성을 조사하였다. 유변학적 특성은 복합점도와 log G' vs. log G" 선도를 이용하여 해석 분석 비교하였다. 그 결과 전자선 조사로 개질된 순수 PLA 및 화학적으로 개질된 PLA의 복합점도는 전자선 조사량에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였지만, 기능성단량체가 첨가된 PLA는 전자선 조사에 의해 복합점도가 증가하다가 감소하는 경향을 보였다.

A low-molecular-weight poly(lactic acid) was synthesized through the condensation reaction of L-lactic acid. The effects that the catalyst and temperature have on the reaction rate were studied to determine the optimum reaction conditions. The reaction kinetics increased with temperature up to $210^{\circ}C$, but no further increase was observed above this temperature. Among a few selective catalysts, sulfuric acid was the most effective because it maximized the polymerization reaction rate. Reduction of the pressure was another important factor that enhanced this reactions kinetics.

We investigated thermal, rheological, morphological and mechanical properties of a binary blend of poly(lactic acid) (PLA) and poly(butylene succinate adipate) (PBSA). The blends were extruded and their molded properties were examined. DSC thermograms of blends indicated that the thermal properties of PLA did not change noticeably with the amount of PBSA, but thermogravimetric analysis showed that thermal stability of the blends was lower than that of pure PLA and PBSA. Immiscibility was checked with thermal data. The rheological properties of the blends changed remarkably with composition. The tensile strength and modulus of blends decreased with PBSA content. Interestingly, however, the impact strength of PLA/PBSA (80/20) blend was seriously increased higher than the rule of mixture. Morphology of the blends showed a typical sea and island structure of immiscible blend. The effect of the blend composition on the biodegradation was also investigated. In the early stage of the degradation test, the highest rate was observed for the blend containing $80wt\%$ PBSA.

본 연구는 UV 조사법으로 poly(lactic acid)-g-acrylic acid(PLA-g-AAc) 이온교환체를 합성하고 이들의 금속흡착 특성을 ICP-AES 분석을 통해 확인하였다. PLA-g-AAC의 UV 조사량과 AAc의 농도변화에 따른 함수율, 그래프트율 및 이온교환용량을 측정하였다. 그래프트율은 AAc 및 benzophenone(BP) 농도가 각각 1.0, 0.1 mol/L일때 최대 28%이었으며, 이온교환용량과 함수율은 각각 1.13 meq/g와 38%로 UV 조사량 및 AAc의 농도가 증가함에 따라 증가하였다. 한편, PLA-g-AAc의 흡착시간에 따른 $Cu^{2+}$, $Co^{2+}$, $Ni^{2+}$에 대한 선택 흡착성은 모두 높게 나타났으며 $Cu^{2+}$가 가장 우수한 선택흡착성을 나타내었다.

본 논문에서는 PLA(PolyLactic Acid)의 결정화도 및 결정구조에 대해 연구하였다. PLA는 옥수수 전분으로부터 추출한 Lactic acid로부터 얻어지는 친환경적인 열가소성 플라스틱으로 매립시 미생물에 의해 완전히 분해되는 소재로 각광받고 있지만 열 안정성이 낮고 낮은 결정화도로 인해 높은 기계적 물성이 요구되는 용도에는 부적합한 단점을 가지고 있다. 이 중에서도 낮은 결정화도와 느린 결정화 속도는 사출 성형 공정에서 Cycle time을 증가시키는 요인으로 다른 소재와의 경쟁에 매우 큰 단점으로 나타난다. 본 논문에서는 핵제 및 가소제의 종류와 함량에 따른 결정화도 및 결정화 속도의 변화를 연구함으로써 궁극적으로 사출 성형 공정에서 Cycle time을 개선하고자 하였다.

This study was conducted to analyze the difference in mechanically improved properties by distinguishing α-chitin and β-chitin for Poly(L-lactic acid)(PLLA). First, dissolution of chitins was established by mixing polar solvents hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP) and trifluoroacetic acid (TFA) in appropriate proportions. Under these conditions, the dissolved chitin was used for electrospinning with other polymers. The electrospun nanofibers of the PLLA and chitins were successfully produced. Compared to the pristine state, when chitin was added to PLLA, the tensile strength increased 1.41 times (α-chitin), by 1.61 times (β- chitin), respectively. Based on this, it was confirmed that α- and β- chitin could be strategically used for different polymers. The results also suggest that chitin can be applied to various fields as good reinforcing material as well as electrospinning.

Environmental problems from petroleum-based plastic wastes have been rapidly increasing in recent years. The alternative solution is focus on the development of environmental friendly plastic derived from renewable resource. Poly(lactic acid) (PLA) is a biodegradable polymer synthesized from biomass having potential to replace the petroleum-based non-degradable polymers utilizations. PLA can be synthesized by two methods: (1) ring-opening of lactide intermediate and (2) direct polycondensation of lactic acid processes. The latter process has advantages on high yields and high purity of polymer products, materials handling and ease of process treatments. The polymerization process of PLA synthesis has been widely studied in a laboratory scale. However, the mass scale production using direct polycondensation of lactic acid has not been reported. We have investigated the kinetics and scale-up process of direct polycondensation method to produce PLA in a pilot scale. The order of reaction is 2 and activation energy of lactic acid to lactic acid oligomers is 61.58 kJ/mol. The pre-polymer was further polymerized in a solid state polymerization (SSP) process. The synthesized PLA from both the laboratory and pilot scales show the comparable properties such as melting temperature and molecular weight. The appearance of synthesized PLA is yellow-white solid powder.

Electrospinning was performed using an eco-friendly solvent composed of acetic acid, ethyl acetate and distilled water to investigate the effect of gelatin concentration on mechanical properties and cytotoxicity of absorbable poly(D,L-lactic acid) (PDLLA)/gelatin blend membrane. The tensile stress, strain at break, and WUC of the PDLLA/gelatin (97/3) scaffold at 26 wt% concentration were determined to be 3.9 ± 0.7 MPa, 37 ± 1.3 %, and 273 ± 33 %, respectively. FT-IR results revealed that PDLLA and gelatin were bound only by van der Waals interactions. The cell viability of PDLLA/gelatin membranes containing 0 %, 1 %, 2 %, 3 %, and 4 % gelatin were more than 100 %, which makes all membranes highly suitable as a barrier membrane for absorbable periodontal tissue regeneration due to their marketed physical properties and biocompatibility.

Poly-L-lactic acid (PLLA)를 출발물질로 하여 용매증발법에 의해 마이크로스피어를 제조하고, 제조 변수가 형성된 마이크로스피어의 형상 및 평균 입경에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. PVA 수용액의 농도가 1~5 wt%로 증가함에 따라 평균입경이 $370{\sim}160{\mu}m$으로 감소하다가 7 wt%에서다시 $240{\mu}m$으로 증가하였다. 그리고 PVA의첨가부피가 10~50 mL로 증가함에 따라 평균 입경은 $370{\sim}220{\mu}m$으로 감소하였다. 또한 교반속도가 500~1,500 rpm으로 증가함에 따라 평균 입경은 $370{\sim}110{\mu}m$으로 감소하였다. 유기용매로써 dichloromethane과 chloroform을 각각 사용한 경우 평균 입경은 큰 차이를 보이지 않았으며, dichloromethane을 사용한 경우 표면에서 공극이 확인되었으나 chloroform을 사용한 경우 매끈한 형상의 구형입자가 얻어졌다.
