The ultimate objective of periodontal treatment is to stop disease progression and to regenerate destroyed periodontal tissues and thereby regain normal function. Growth factors are naturally found polypetides which stimulate many cellular activities pertaining to wound healing by acting as signal molecule in controlling cell movement, proliferation, and matrix production. Platelet derived growth factor (PDGF) is 28,000-35,000 Da molecular weight dimeric protein with 2 long positively charged polypeptide chains connected by sulfide bonds. The purpose of this study is to evaluate histologically the initial guided tissue regeneration in a periodontal defect f a beagle dog treated with a biodegradable membrane formed with polylactic acid (poly-L-lactic acid) and polyglycolic acid loaded with 200ng/$cm^2$ platelet derived growth factor. 2 beagle dogs were used in he experiment. $5mm{\times}6mm$ alveolar bone defect was formed in upper and lower canines and third premolars and a reference notch was placed. PDGF-BB non-containing membrane was used as control. Each defect was randomly assigned to the test roup or the control group. The dogs were sacrificed 3 weeks after membrane placement. Toluidine blue and multiple staining was done for histological analysis. In the 3 week specimen in the control group, no new one formation could be seen. Small amount f bone resorption below the notch could be seen. In the notch, loose connective tissue with infiltration of inflammatory cells could be seen. Also thin discontinuous new cementum could be seen and the membrane still retained its structure. Where PDGF-BB containing membrane was used, new bone formation could be seen in the notch at weeks and also continuous thin cementum could be seen. PDL cells were observed between new bone and new cementum and some were attached to bone and cementum. These results suggest that new bone and cementum formation seen when PDGF-BB loaded membrane was used was due to inhibition of downgrowth of epithelial cells and also due to continuous release of the growth factor. Further study on the resorption characteristics of the membrane nd the release characteristics of the PDGF-BB is necessary. Also, development of a membrane easier to use clinically is necessary.

Stearic acid (SA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and malic acid (MA) have been used to modify the surface of waste gypsum to develop corresponding poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) composites. According to the mechanical properties, MA-treated gypsum (MA-gypsum) showed the best performance, whereas SA-gypsum showed the worst performance. In contrast to SA and PEG (having -COOH and -OH as polar functional groups, respectively), the presence of both -OH and -COOH in MA is responsible for the superior surface treatment of gypsum and its better dispersion in the polymer matrix (as revealed by FE-SEM analyses). The presence of long aliphatic chain in SA is supposed to inhibit the dispersion of SA-gypsum. Further, the performance of MA-gypsum/PBAT was enhanced by adding polylactic acid (PLA). The maximum optimized contents of MA-gypsum and PLA are 20 and 7.5 wt% for developing a high-performance PBAT composite.

생체친화성 다당류 코팅은 금속류의 생체재료 자체 염증 반응으로 의한 합병증(예: 스텐트 재협착 등) 문제를 해결하는 데 활용될 수 있지만, 자체적인 친수성으로 인해 체내의 습윤 환경에서 코팅층이 오랫동안 유지되기 어렵다. 본 논문에서는 히알루론산 상에 접착성 카테콜 작용기를 도입하여 습윤 환경에서도 강한 부착력을 유지하는 다당류 기반의 바이오코팅 소재를 합성하고, 폴리젖산으로 구성된 스텐트 상에서의 수중 안정성 테스트를 통해 그 기능성을 확인하고자 하였다. 연구 결과, 1.26%의 낮은 카테콜 작용기 도입만으로도 수중 안정성이 크게 증대되었음을 모세관 실험 및 분광학적 분석 방법을 통해 확인할 수 있었다. 본 연구 결과는 바이오 코팅 재료의 생채 내 안정성 증대를 위해 카테콜 작용기 도입이 유용할 수 있다는 점을 시사한다.

PDGF-BB has been recognized as a highly potential growth factor for guided tissue regeneration in periodontal defect. This study carried out histologic and histometric evaluation of $200ng/cm^2$ PDGF-BB loaded bioresorbable membrane made from polyglycolic and polylactic acid. It was tested for its biocompatibility, ability to prevent epithelial downgrowth and amount of periodontal regeneration. Without membrane and PDGF-BB unloaded bioresorbable membrane were used as control. Healthy six beagle dogs were used. Each dog was anesthetized and buccal flaps were reflected in the mandibular and maxillary premolar areas. Buccal alveolar bone between the mesiobuccal and distobuccal line angles was surgically removed on the lower 2nd and 4th premolar in mandible, 2nd premolar in maxilla, to a level 4mm apical to the cementoenamel junction with creating a Class II buccal furcation defect for available space. Care was taken not to remove the root cementum layer and rubber impression materials were placed over each surgically created defect. Flaps were repositioned and sutured. Reconstructive surgery was performed 1 month after defect preparation. PDGF-BB loaded membranes and controls were randomly placed on maxillary 2nd premolars and mandibular 2nd and 4th premolars. Plaque control regimen was instituted with daily brushing with a 0.1% chlorhexidine digluconate during experimental periods. The animals were sacrificed 2 and 5 weeks after surgery and undecalcified specimens were prepared for histologic evaluation. The degree of coronal regrowth of new bone, new cementum and the amonut of new bone areas formed on the defected area of the PDGF-BB loaded membrnae turned superior to without membrane and drug unloaded membrane. Experimental membrane could prevent the epithelial downgrowth irrespective of drug loaded or not and showed good biocompatiblity, These results implicated that PDGF-BB loaded bioresorbable membrane could be highly useful tool for guided tissue regeneration of periodontal defects.

Solid-state extrusion technique was employed for the improvement of mechanical properties of polylactic acid (PLLA) widely used as biodegradable internal fixation devices currently. Cylindrical billets were machined out from the vacuum compression-molded PLLA to have various diameters, and solid-state extrusion of the billets was performed at various drawing rates and at the extrusion temperature of $130^{\circ}C$. Throughout the whole processes the decrease in molecular weight was significantly suppressed to be about $10\%$. Flexural modulus and strength of PLLA increased up to 8.3 GPa and 221 MPa, respectively. Studies on the orientation and crystallinity of extruded PLLA could reveal the effects of billet morphology, draw ratio, and drawing rate on the flexural strengths of PLLA.

A special group of polymers, those from renewable resources, has attracted an increasing amount of attention over the last two decades, due to two major reasons: environmental concerns and the limitations of our finite petroleum resources. Generally, polymers from renewable resources (PFRR) can be classified into three groups: (1) natural polymers, such as starch, protein and cellulose; (2) synthetic polymers from natural monomers, such as polylactic acid (PLA); and (3) polymers from microbial fermentation, such as polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB). Like many other petroleum based polymers, various properties of PFRR are also vastly improved through blending and composites formation.

Recently, the worldwide demand for disposable masks has increased due to COVID-19 infections and severe air pollution. Personal masks should reduce breathe resistance while maintaining filtering performance. In this study, a solution blowing process is used to produce composite nanofiber filters to co-spin two polymers at once. The manufacture process of the various fiber diameter filter was designed, and the filtration performance and differential pressure of the prepared filter was investigated. Poly vinylidene fluoride-hexafluoropropylene (PVDF-HFP) and Polylactic acid (PLA) fibers were chosen to be entangled together in a layer with a diameter of 1.05 ㎛ and 0.33 ㎛. Composite nanofilters showed up to 87% filtration efficiency and 32 Pa differential pressure.

본 연구에서는 생분해성 고분자인 PLA(polylactic acid)의 기계적 열적 물성 향상을 위해 목재에서 얻은 펄프분말을 블랜딩하여 펄프분말의 함량에 따른 PLA/펄프 복합필름의 기계적, 열적 물성을 확인하였으며, 또한 이 복합필름에 가교제로 TDI(toluene diisocyanate)를 첨가하여 복합필름의 물성 향상을 확인하였다. 그 결과 순수한 PLA 필름의 경우 인장강도가 $565.25kg_f/cm^2$인 것을 확인하였으며, 펄프분말의 함량이 0.25 wt% 일 때의 인장강도가 $624.20kg_f/cm^2$로 약 9.1 % 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 반면 연신율의 경우 전 복합필름이 순수 PLA 필름에 비해 약 50% 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 가교제로 TDI를 첨가한 PLA/펄프분말의 경우도 TDI의 함량에 관계없이 0.25 wt%의 펄프분말만을 첨가한 복합필름에 비해 연신율이 낮았으며, 인장강도의 경우 500% TDI를 첨가한 경우 $640.43kg_f/cm^2$로 증가하였다. 또한, PLA/펄프 복합필름에서 TDI를 가교시킨 PLA/펄프 복합필름은 가교시키지 않은 PLA/펄프 복합필름에 비해 $300^{\circ}C$ 이하에서의 열적 안정성은 우레탄기의 형성에 의해 TDI의 함량이 높은 경우 약간 증가하였다.
