Monodispersed microparticles with a poly(D,L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) core and a poly(ethyl 2-cyanoacrylate) (PE2CA) shell were prepared by Shirasu porous glass (SPG) membrane emulsification to reduce the initial burst release of doxorubicin (DOX). Solution mixtures with different weight ratios of PLGA polymer and E2CA monomer were permeated under pressure through an SPG membrane with $1.9\;{\mu}m$ pore size into a continuous water phase with sodium lauryl sulfate as a surfactant. Core-shell structured microparticles were formed by the mechanism of anionic interfacial polymerization of E2CA and precipitation of both polymers. The average diameter of the resulting microparticles with various PLGA:E2CA ratios ranged from 1.42 to $2.73\;{\mu}m$. The morphology and core-shell structure of the microparticles were observed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). The DOX release profiles revealed that the microparticles with an equivalent PLGA:E2CA weight ratio of 1:1 exhibited the optimal condition to reduce the initial burst of DOX. The initial release rate of DOX was dependent on the PLGA:E2CA ratio, and was minimized at a 1:1 ratio.

Biodegradable microspheres made from poly-lactide-co-glycolide polymers have been considered as a new delivery system for single-dose vaccine. Purified tetanus toxoid (TT) was encapsulated in poly-lactide(PLA) and poly-lactide-co-glycolide (PLGA) microparticles using a solvent evaporation method in a multiple emulsion system (water-in oil-in water). The morphology of 77-loaded microparticles was spherical and the suface of them was smooth. The particle size was in a range of 2-10. Protein loading efficiency was 68-97.8%. PLGA (85:15) microparticle showed the highest efficiency. Protein release pattern was influenced by polymer molecular weight and composition. The release rate of PLA(Mw 100,000) microsphere was higher than any other microspheres. In consequence of the hydrolysis of PLGA(50:50) microspheres, environmental pH decreased from 7.4 to 5.0. The PLA, PLGA (75:25) and PLGA (85:15) microshperes showed no significant pH change. The antigenicity or n in microshperes was assayed by indirect sandwich ELISA using equine polyclonal tetanus antitoxin for capture antibody and human polyclonal tetanus antitoxin for primary antibody. The antigenicity of TT in PLA (Mw 100,000), PLGA(50:50, Mw 100,000) and PLGA (75:25, Mw 73,300) after 30 days incubation showed 54, 40.9 and 76.7%, respectively.

Poly(lactic acid) is a biodegradable themoplastic based on the renewable resources to substitute for petrochemical plastics. Most of PLA is produced by ring opening polymerization from lactide. However, pyrolysis process in the lactide synthesis is expensive, we studied lactide synthetic process for more economical preparation of PLA. In this research was tried to minimize the pyrolysis time, and obtained L-lactide from lactic acid without any catalyst.

Micromechanical 시험법과 표면 젖음성 측정을 이용한 implant용 생분해성 복합재료의 계면물성과 미세파괴 분해 메카니즘을 연구하였다. 분해시간이 경과함에 따라서 poly(ester-amide) (PEA)와 생활성 유리섬유의 인장강도와 탄성률 그리고 신율은 점차적으로 감소하는 경향을 보인 반면, chitosan 섬유는 거의 변화가 없었다. 생활성 유리섬유와 poly-L-lactide(PLLA) 사이의 계면전단강도는 PEA나 chitosan 섬유 시스템의 경우보다 더 큰 값을 보였으나, 계면전단강도 감소 속도는 가장 빨랐고 chitosan 섬유의 경우가 가장 느린 결과를 보였다. 접착일 ($W_a$)은 생활성 유리섬유와 PLLA 사이에서 가장 높은 값을 나타냈으며, 이러한 표면 젖음성 결과는 계면전단강도 결과와 잘 일치하였다. 계면물성과 미세파괴 분해 메카니즘은 생분해성 복합재료의 성능을 조절할 수 있는 가장 중요한 요인들이다.

Luminescent CdSe/ZnS QDs, with emission in the red region of the spectrum, were synthesized and encapsulated in poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(D,L-lactide) diblock copolymer micelles, to prepare water-soluble, bio-compatible QD micelles. PEG-PLA diblock copolymers were synthesized by ring opening polymerization of D,L-lactide, in the presence of methoxy PEG as a macro initiator. QDs were encapsulated with PEG-PLA polymers using a solid dispersion method in chloroform. The resultant polymer micelles, with encapsulated QDs, were characterized using various analytical techniques, such as UV- Vis measurement, light scattering, fluorescence spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and atomic forced microscopy (AFM). The polymer micelles, with encapsulated QDs, were spherical and showed diameters in the range of 20-150 nm. The encapsulated QDs were highly luminescent, and have high potential for applications in biomedical imaging and detection.

Biodegradable poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone-co-L-lactide)-b-poly(ethylene glycol) (PCLA-b-PEG) copolymers were synthesized via solution polymerization by varying the feed composition of $\varepsilon$-caprolactone ($\varepsilon$-CL) and L-lactide (LLA) ($\varepsilon$-CL: LLA= 10:0, 7:3, 5:5, 3:7, 0: 10). The feed ratio based on weight is in accordance with the copolymer composition except for the case of $\varepsilon$-CL: LLA=3:7 (C3L7), which was verified by $^1H$-NMR. Two different approaches were used for the exceptional case, which is an extension of the reaction time or the sequential introduction of the monomer. A copolymer composition of $\varepsilon$-CL: LLA=3:7 could be obtained in either case. The chemical microstructure of PCLA-b-PEG was determined using the $^{13}C$-NMR spectra and the effect of the sequential structure on the thermal properties and crystallinity were examined. Despite the same composition ratio of the copolymer, the microstructure can differ according to the reaction conditions.

인공뼈의 잠재적인 재료로서 주목을 받는 hydroxyapatite(HA)와 Poly(L-lactide)(PLLA) 복합체의 물성을 개선하기 위하여 HA에 D-lactide(DLA)를 표면 그래프트(g-HA)하여 PLLA 사이의 스테레오 콤프렉스 형성을 도입하였다. 복합체 필름은 건조단계에서 HA의 침전을 최소화하기 위하여 용매-비용매법으로 제조하였다. 복합체의 구조와 물성은 thermal gravimetric analysis(TGA), differential scanning calorimeter, scanning electron microscopy 및 mechanical property 측정으로 확인하였다. TGA분석으로부터 HA에 대한 DLA의 표면 그래프트율은 6 wt%였고 HA에 비하여 유기용매에 대한 분산성이 증가하였다. 복합체의 스테레오 콤프렉스 형성은 용융온도의 변화로써 확인하고 HA/PLLA 복합체에 비하여 우수한 기계적 물성을 나타내었다.

투석법을 이ctide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) 나노입자를 제조하고 다양한 용매에 따른 입자 크기, 약물 함유량, 생분해도 등과 같은 물리ㆍ화학적 특성을 조사하였다. Dimethylacetamide (DMAc), dimethylformamide (DMF), dimethylsulfoxide (DMSO)로 제조된 PLGA 나노입자의 크기는 acetone으로 제조한 입자보다 적었다. 또한, 약물 함유량은 DMAc>DMF>DMSO=acetone 순서였다. PLGA 나노입자는 scanning electron microscopy (SEM)과 transmission electron microscopy (TEM)의 측정으로 구형임을 알 수 있었다. 계면활성제를 사용하지 않는 나노입자에 봉입된 norfloxacin (NFx)은 X-ray diffraction 분석을 통하여 입자 표면에 약물을 가지지 않는 좋은 약물 봉입 효율을 가짐을 알 수 있었다. 모델약물로 사용된 NFx의 방출속도는 약물 함유량뿐만 아니라 입사크기에 의해 좌우된다. 또한 PLGA 나노입자의 분해속도는 아세톤보다는 DMF를 사용하였을 때 더 빠르며 이는 PLGA 나노입자의 생분해성도 입자크기에 좌우된다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Implant용 bioabsorbable 복합재료의 계면물성과 미세파괴분해 메카니즘을 micromechanical 시험법과 음향방출을 이용하여 평가하였다. Poly(ester-amide)와 bioactive 유리섬유의 인장 강도와 탄성률 그리고 연신율은 분해시간에 따라 점차적으로 감소하는 경향을 보인 반면, chitosan 섬유는 분해시간 내에서 거의 변화가 없었다. Dual matrix composite 시험법을 이용하여 측정된 bioactive 유리섬유와 poly(L-lactide) 사이의 계면전단강도는 chitosan이나 poly(ester-amide) 섬유의 경우 보다 큰 값을 보였다. 그리고 계면전단강도 감소는 bioactive 유리섬유 강화 poly(L-lactide) 복합재료에서 가장 빨랐으며, chitosan 섬유의 경우가 상대적으로 가장 느린 경향을 보였다. Poly(ester-amide) 섬유의 분해시간에 따른 음향방출 진폭과 에너지는 점차로 감소하였고, 음향방출 진폭의 분포 역시 점차 좁아짐을 보여주었다. Bioactive 유리섬유에서 인장파단에 의한 음향방출 진폭과 에너지는 압축파단의 경우 보다 크게 나타났으며, 또한, 인장 및 압축시험 모두에서 초기상태가 분해 후 보다 더 큰 값을 보였다. 본 연구에서 평가한 계면물성과 미세파괴분해 메카니즘은 생흡수성 복합재료의 성능을 조절할 수 있는 중요한 요소가 될 것이다.

We report a new approach to fabricate electrospun polymer nonwoven mats with porous surface morphology by varying the collector temperature during electrospinning. Polymers such as poly(L-lactide) (PLLA), polystyrene (PS), and poly(vinyl acetate) (PVAc) were dissolved in volatile solvents, namely methylene chloride (Me) and tetrahydrofuran (THF), and subjected to electrospinning. The temperature of the collector in the electrospinning device was varied by a heating system. The resulting nonwoven mats were characterized by using scanning electron microscopy (SEM), field emission SEM (FESEM), and atomic force microscopy (AFM). We observed that the surface morphology, porous structure, and the properties such as pore size, depth, shape, and distribution of the nonwoven mats were greatly influenced by the collector temperature.
