Microstereolithography technology has potential capability for fabrication of 3D microstructures. It evolved from conventional SLA which is one of the RP processes. In a microstereolithography process, 3D microstructures can be easily fabricated by continuously stacking 2D layer which is photopolymerized using a liquid prepolymer. Combination between biocompatible/biodegradable photocurable prepolymer and 3D complex fabrication in microstereolithography makes broad application areas such as medical, pharmaceutic, and bio devices. In particular, a 3D microneedle for transdermal drug delivery and a scaffold for tissue engineering are fabricated using this technology. In this paper, the authors address development of microstereolithography system adapted to large surface and fabrication of various microstructures. In addition, to apply human body we suggest a biodegradable 3D microneedle and a scaffold using biodegradable photocurable prepolymer.

This study was carried out to produce high functional and biodegradable coating agents for pulp mold by evaluating various kinds of biodegradable polymers. Five kinds of biodegradable polymers were used. In addition, the mixture of the carboxymethylated starch and biodegradable polymers(${\kappa}$-carrageenan, chitosan) were used for mixed coating agents. Physical properties of coated paperboards were evaluated. Conclusions obtained were as follows. 4% ${\kappa}$-carrageenan and 5% chitosan showed higher water and oil resistance. 10% sodium alginate, 4% corn zein and 15% polycaprolactone showed high water resistance while no improvement was found on oil resistance. The optimum mixture ratios for the mixed coating agents were 90:10(carboxymethylated starch : ${\kappa}$-carrageenan) and 50:50(carboxymethylated starch : chitosan). Since these mixed coating agents have excellent biodegradability with higher water and oil resistance, these can be used for the environmental-friendly coating agents.

Mulching technique is used to control the temperature and moisture content of soil by covering the ground surface. Most kinds of mulching film are made of polyethylene which is non-biodegradable synthetic polymer. Utilizing these films has been one of the main sources in soil pollution. Thus residual films under the ground should be removed after a certain period of time. Therefore, an alternative mulching material made of biodegradable functional paper is considered instead of non-biodegradable films. The mulching sheet produced from paper basis has a functionality to be naturally degraded and then recycled to the bio-materials on soil. In this study, the paper based-mulching sheet coated with biodegradable polymer was specially produced using a laboratory bar coater. Coating colors prepared by dissolving PBS/PLA in chloroform were applied to kraft paper. The mechanical strength and aging properties of this mulching sheet were investigated. The burst strength of polymer-coated paper was decreased with the increase of the PBS ratio in PBS/PLA blends, and, in particular, 30/70 blending condition led to good stability in heat-aging atmosphere for 60 days.

Purpose: Traditionally, titanium miniplate has been used for rigid fixation of mandible fractures. However, the limitations of metal plate have been reported such as hypersensitivity, interference with the cranio-facial growth of growing child, secondary bone resorption around the plate, foreign body reaction, declination of primary callus formation, and bone atrophy, and so forth. Recently, biodegradable miniplate has been introduced and used as an alternative to the metal plate despite of its lower strength. This study evaluated the usefulness and stability of biodegradable plate and screw for treatment of mandible fractures. Methods: In this study, 61 patients(92 areas) diagnosed as mandible fracture in the last 2 years have been reviewed. We used titanium plate and screw in 32 patients, and biodegradable plate and screw($INION^{(R)}$) in 29 patients. Stability of plates and screws, bony healing process and its side effects were observed by clinical and radiographic assessment. Results: In the titanium material group, one of malocclusion, two of mouth opening limitation, three of pain, three of palpation were shown. The plate of six patients involved in these complications were removed. In the biodegradable group, two of mouth opening limitation, two of pain, one of localized wound infection were shown and one plate was removed secondarily. Conclusion: There was no statistical difference between two groups in bony healing and complication rates. Biodegradable implants show efficient stability during initial bone healing and low side effects in long-term follow up periods.

Biodegradable octopus pot was developed to reduce plastic pollution problem in the sea and fishing trouble between fishermen. It can be expect to recycle other wasted biodegrade fishing gear. Experimental fishing was carried out to understand the difference in fishing efficiency between Polyethylene (PE) octopus pots and biodegradable (Polybutylene Succinate and Polybutylene adipate-co-terephthalate) octopus pots which was tried to make in this study in the sea. There were caught by 237 numbers of fishing during the experimental period. Among the 237 numbers of fishing, 160 or 67.5% were PE pots which were more than the biodegradable pots. A comparison of the monthly catches between the PE pots and biodegradable pots shows that the catches were overall higher in the PE pots than in the other pots. The result is very similar with the comparison of total catches by each type of the pots. In terms of bycatch, the number of species, amount of catches and the number of fishing with bycatch were more significant in the biodegradable pots than in the PE pots.

Physical characteristics of net filament were investigated to test the fishing capacity of gill nets due to the flexibility difference between nylon and biodegradable nets (PBS 95%+PBAT 5% and PBS 80%+PBAT 20%). In addition, a total of 16 fishing experiments were conducted in the coastal waters of Jeongja, Ulsan, from August 10 to October 20, 2011 and from September 11 to November 3, 2012. The test results showed that nylon net filament exhibited more flexibility than biodegradable net filament when they were wet. Accordingly, the longer submerged time, the more fishing capacity the nylon gill nets demonstrated in comparison with the biodegradable gill nets. A total of 16 species were caught in 2011 with the nylon gill nets (1,323 fishes, weighing 342,885g) and the biodegradable gill nets (958 fishes, weighing 236,857g). 15 species were caught in 2012 with the nylon gill nets (1,582 fishes, weighing 448,360g) and the biodegradable gill nets (1,431 fishes, weighing 406,590g). Thus catch weights and the number of fish caught produced by the nylon nets were 1.45 times and 1.38 times higher than those of the biodegradable nets produced in 2011, and 1.1 times and 1.11 times higher in 2012. A test on the target species, pointhead flounder (Cleisthenes pinetorum) has similar results. The flexibility of a net was proved to be related to the fishing capacity, and as a result, it is concluded that the higher flexibility, the higher fishing capacity.

생분해성 금속인 마그네슘 합금 와이어를 이용하여 담관용 스텐트를 제작하였다. 생체 내에서 마그네슘 합금의 문제점인 빠른 분해 및 부식을 제어하기 위하여 마그네슘 합금 와이어를 생분해성 고분자인 polycaprolactone (PCL), poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC), poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) 등으로 코팅하였다. 표면분해가 이루어지는 고분자인 PPC의 경우는 전분해 거동을 보이는 다른 고분자들(PCL, PLLA, PLGA)에 비해 크랙이나 박리가 없어 가장 효율적으로 마그네슘 와이어의 분해 속도를 지연시켰다. 또한 생분해성 고분자 코팅이 마그네슘 합금 스텐트의 기계적 물성인 축 방향 힘에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였다. 대부분의 생분해성 고분자(PCL, PLLA, PLGA)로 코팅된 스텐트는 코팅되지 않은 스텐트에 비해 축 방향의 힘이 증가하여 스텐트의 유연성을 감소시켰으나, PPC로 코팅된 스텐트는 코팅되지 않은 스텐트와 비슷한 축 방향의 힘을 나타내 스텐트의 유연성을 감소시키지 않았다. 이상의 결과로부터 PPC가 가장 효율적인 생분해성 고분자로 판단된다.

Fishing pots are one of the important fishing gears in our coastal and offshore fisheries. In terms of a sustainable use of marine resources, there are concerns about the ghost fishing by lost pots. It is reported that 10 to 70% of the pots are abandoned or lost annually. This study is to compare the catching efficiency of drum type whelk pots that are made of biodegradable nets to those made of the ordinary nets, in the eastern coast of Korea. Five types of drum pots were used with combination of biodegradable nets and ordinary (PA, PE) nets applied to the main and funnel parts of the pots: pots with biodegradable nets (Bio+Bio); pots with PE net (PE+PE); pots with body and funnel made of biodegradable nets and PE nets respectively (Bio+PE); pots with body and funnel made of PE nets and PA nets respectively (PE+PA); pots with body and funnel made of PE nets and biodegradable net respectively (PE+Bio). Field experiments were conducted from June $18^{th}$, 2015 to August $7^{th}$, 2015 using a commercial fishing vessel in the Uljin waters on the eastern coast of Korea. Two fleets of pots with one hundred in each, 20 pots of each type, were casted for 8 to 15 days to analyze their catching efficiency. The catch of target species, whelks, was 202,563.0 g with catch rate of 38.7% of the total catch, while the bycatch was 320,709.7 g with the rate of 61.3% of the total catch. The catch of whelks was the highest in the Bio+PE pots (46,020.3 g), followed by the Bio+Bio pots (42,027.5 g), the PE+Bio pots (41,849.9 g) and the lowest being PE+PE pots (38,054.2 g). Compared to the conventional pots, the pots with biodegradable nets on the body or entrance part had slightly higher catch rate for both the target species and the bycatch. The PE+PE had the lowest catch rate. There is no significant difference in catch between the pots with biodegradable nets and the ordinary nets for the target species such as Buccinum opisthoplectum, Neptunea eulimata, Buccinum striatissimum. Consequently, using biodegradable nets for the conventional whelk pots can reduce ghost fishing by lost gears while keeping the performance of the pots.
