Polyurethane microcapsules were synthesized by interfacial polymerization in an aqueous poly(ethylene glycol) dispersion with ethylenediamine as chain extender of toluene diisocyanate in perfume oil using poly(vinyl alcohol) as the stabilizing agent. The effect of chemical structure on the average particle size and distributions, morphologies, and thermal properties to design microcapsules for the sustained release system was investigated. It came to be known that polyurethane microcapsules with ethylene diamine as chain extender had a rounder, more permeable and controlled release membranes. And the release test of polyurethane microcapsules with different soft segment content was done to certify the effect of long methylene chain. According to the higher molecular weight of polyether polyol, the release rate of microencapsulated disperse dye molecular was faster.

The aim of this study is to prepare biodegradable microspheres without the use of surfactants or emulsifiers for a novel sustained delivery carriers of protein drugs. A poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone)/poly(ethylene glycol)/poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (CEC) triblock copolymer was synthesized by the ring-opening of $\varepsilon$-caprolactone with dihydroxy poly (ethylene glycol) to prepare surfactant-free microspheres. When dichloromethane (DCM) or ethyl formate (EF) was used as a solvent, the formation of microspheres did not occur. Although the microspheres could be formed prior to lyophilization under certain conditions, the morphology of microspheres was not maintained during the filtration and lyophilization process. Surfactant-free microspheres were only formed when ethyl acetate (EA) was used as the organic solvent and showed good spherical micro-spheres although the surfaces appeared irregular. The content of the protein in the micro-sphere was lower than expected, probably because of the presence of water channels and pores. The protein release kinetics showed a burst release until 2 days and after that sustained release pattern was showed. Therefore, these observations indicated that the formation of microsphere without the use of surfactant is feasible, and, this the improved process, the protein is readily incorporated in the microsphere.

에틸렌-프로필렌 디엔 단량체/폴리프로필렌에 바탕을 둔 에틸렌-프로필렌 디엔 단량체, 폴리프로필렌, 산화아연, 스테아르산, 그리고 클레이의 효과에 대하여 연소성을 조사하였다. 에틸렌-프로필렌 디엔 단량체/폴리프로필렌/클레이 나노복합체는 성형 후 콘칼로리미터(ISO 5660-1)를 이용하여 연소시험을 하였다. 그 결과 나노복합체는 에틸렌-프로필렌 디엔 단량체/폴리프로필렌 단독 조성에 비하여 최대열방출률을 감소시켰다. 이에 반하여 고무 연화제로 사용된 스테아르산은 자체의 연소성에 의하여 평균열방출률을 증가시켰다.

이 연구에서 norfloxacin(NFX)이 담지된 poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone)/poly(ethylene glycol)(PCL/PEG, abbreviated as CE) 이중블록공중합체로 구성된 고분자 미셀을 제조하였다. 입자크기는 PCL블록길이에 따라 60$\sim$200 nm사이였다. 임계회합농도는 소수성 PCL 블록길이가 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. $^1H$-NMR 연구에서 PCL 블록은 내핵, PEG는 외피를 형성한 미셀구조로 형성되었음을 확인하였다. 약물의 방출은 약 2일간 지속되었으며 PCL블록길이와 약물함량이 증가함에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. 항미생물 성능 실험에서 고분자 미셀은 기존의 NFX와 비슷한 독성을 보였다.

Repeated oral administration of hydrochlorothiazide, a loop diuretic, due to transient high blood levels, may cause adverse effects such as gastric disturbance, nausea, high blood sugar, and hyper lipidemia. Transdermal administration could avoid some of these systemic side effects and gastric disorders. We have developed a matrix using ethylene-vinyl acetate (EVA), a heat-processible and flexible material, for transdermal delivery of hydrochlorothiazide. Drug solubility was highest at 40% PEG-400 volume fraction. Drug release increased as concentration increased with a linear relationship between the release rate and the square root of loading dose. Increasing temperature increased drug release from the EVA matrix. The activation energy, measured from the slope of log P versus 1000/T, was 11.9 kcal/mol for a 2.5% loading dose from EVA matrix. Diethyl phthalate had the highest plasticizing effects on the release of hydrochlorothiazide. To increase the skin permeation of hydrochlorothiazide from the EVA matrix, enhancers such as the saturated fatty acids, the unsaturated fatty acids, and the non-ionic surfactants were added to the EVA matrix, and skin permeation was evaluated using a modified Keshary-Chien diffusion cell fitted with intact excised rat skin. Polyoxyethylene 23-lauryl ether showed the highest enhancing effects. In conclusion, transdermal delivery of hydrochlorothiazide could be improved from an EVA matrix containing plasticizer and permeation enhancer.

액중건조법을 사용하여 PCL/PEO 마이크로캡슐을 제조하여 형태적 분석 및 제조 조건에 따른 특성을 살펴보고 거동을 통하여 약물 전달 체계로서의 가능성을 고찰하였다. 유화제의 종류 및 농도 그리고 교반 속도에 따른 마이크로캡슐의 입경과 형태의 변화에 대하여 광학 현미경과 SEM을 사용하여 관찰하였다. 또한 접촉각 측정을 통해 PCL/PEO와 약물간의 계면에서의 부착일을 살펴보았으며, 방출 거동을 알아보기 위해 UV/vis. 흡광 광도법으로 흡광도를 측정 하여 용출된 약물의 양을 정량하였다. 그 결과, 마이크로캡슐의 평균 입경이 170 nm∼68 $\mu$m인 구형의 형태를 나타내었으며, PEO의 함량이 증가함에 따라 친수성기가 증가하여 물에 대한 부착일이 증가함을 알 수 있었다. 또한 약물 방출 실험을 통하여 PEO의 함량을 높게 하고 교반 속도를 빠르게 하여 제조한 마이크로캡슐의 약물 방출이 상당히 빠름을 알 수 있었다 이는 PEO의 함량이 증가함에 따라 친수성기가 증가하고 계면력이 증가하기 때문이라 사료된다.

pH-sensitive hydrogels were studied as a drug carrier for the protection of insulin from the acidic environment of the stomach before releasing it in the small intestine. In this study, hydrogels based on poly(ethylene oxide) (PEO) networks grafted with methacrylic acid (MAA) or acrylic acid (AAc) were prepared via a two-step process. PEO hydrogels were prepared by ${\gamma}-ray $ irradiation (radiation dose: 50 kGy, dose rate: 7.66 kGy/h), grafted by either MAA or AAc monomers onto the PEO hydrogels and finally underwent irradiation (radiation dose: 520 kGy, dose rate: 2.15 kGy/h). These grafted hydrogels showed a pH-sensitive swelling behavior. The grafted hydrogels were used as a carrier for the drug delivery systems for the controlled release of insulin. Drug-loaded hydrogels were placed in simulated gastric fluid (SGF, pH 1.2) for 2 hr and then in simulated intestinal fluid (SIF, pH 6.8). The in vitro drug release behaviors of these hydrogels were examined by quantification analysis with a UV-Vis spectrophotometer.

Poly[(R)-3-hydroxy butyrate] (PHB) and methoxy poly(ethylene glycol) (mPEG) were conjugated by the transesterification reaction with tin(II)-ethylhexanoate (Sn(Oct)-II) as a catalyst. Hydrophobic PHB and hydrophilic mPEG formed an amphiphilic block copolymer which was formed with the self-assembled polymeric micelle in aqueous solution. In this study, we tried to determine the optimum ratio of hydrophobic/hydrophilic segments for controlled drug delivery. The particle size and shape of the polymeric micelle were measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). Their size were 61-102 nm with various block ratios. Griseofulvin was loaded in the polymeric micelle as a hydrophobic model drug. The loading efficiency and release profile were measured by high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). The model drug in our system was constantly released for 48 h.

Poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG) macrocers teminated with acrylate groups and semi-interpenetrating polymer networks (IPNs) composed of poly-.epsilon.-capolactone(PCL) and PEG macromer were syntheswized with the aim of obtaining a bioerodible hydrogel that could be used to release drugs for implantable delivery system. Polymerization of PEG macromer resulted in the formation of cross-linked gels due to the multifunctionality of macromer. Non-crosslinked PCL chains were interpenetrated into the cross-linked three-dimensions networks of PEG. The IPNs, largw drug loading lower concentration of PEG macromer in the IPNs concentration and the higher molecular weight of PEG macromer. Also, 5-FU was more fast released than hydrocortisone to the increased water solubility.
