본 연구에서는 양이온 교환막으로 Sulfonated poly(ether ether ketone) (SPEEK)를 사용하였고, 음이온 교환막은 poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)과 poly(vinyl amine) (PVAm)을 혼합하여 가교시킨 막을 이용하였으며, 이에 대한 막결합형 축전식 탈염 공정(Membrane capacitive deionization, MCDI)의 성능실험을 진행하였다. 음이온 교환막의 함수율, 이온교환용량, FT-IR 측정을 통하여 막의 특성을 알아보았다. 음이온 교환막의 가교 시간이 3 h에서 5 h으로 증가할수록 염 제거 효율은 81.3%에서 65.7, 53.8%로 감소하였다. PVAm의 농도를 40, 60, 80%로 달리하여 실험한 결과 염 제거 효율은 81.3, 75.2, 37.7%로 PVAm이 80% 함량일 때 가장 효율이 떨어졌다. 이는 음이온 교환막의 가교 시간과 PVAm의 농도가 염제거 성능에 영향을 미치는 것으로 사료된다.

Anion-substituted poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes, carboxymethylated PVA (C-PVA), and sulfonated PVA (S-PVA) were prepared and the effects of these substitutions on the plasma protein adsorption were studied by one- and two-dimensional gel electrophoresis and immunoblotting. When Cuprophane was used as a negative control, the amount of total proteins bound to samples decreased in the order Cuprophane > PVA > C-PVA > S-PVA, which we attribute to the effects of the surface characteristics of the samples, such as their surface tensions and electrostatic properties, on the adsorption of proteins to the surfaces of the materials. The results revealed that albumin was the most abundant protein in all the samples. The proportion of adsorbed fibrinogen to S-PVA exceeded those of PVA and C-PVA, whereas S-PVA exhibited the lowest IgG adsorption affinity among the samples we studied.

Polymer electrolyte membranes, featuring ionic channels, were prepared from sulfonated dextran/ poly(vinyl alcohol) (sD/PVA) membranes. A stiff sulfated dextran was chosen as the route for ionic transport, since ionic sites are located along the stiff dextran main chain. The sD/PVA blend membranes were annealed and then chemically crosslinked. The characteristics of the crosslinked sD/PVA membranes were investigated to determine their suitability as proton exchange membranes. The proton conductivity was found to increase with increasing amounts of sD inside the membrane, which reached a maximum and then decreased when the sD content exceeded 30 wt%, while the methanol permeability increased with increasing sD content. The good dispersion of sD inside the membrane, which serves as an ionic channels mimic, played a significant role in proton transportation.

Poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA)이 폴리술폰 한외여과 막, 술폰화된 폴리에테르술폰, 폴리아미드 나노 막 위에 코팅된 나노 복합막을 가압법에 의해서 제조되었다. PVA는 글루터알데하이드 수용액으로 가교되었다. 모든 지지층위에 PVA 희박용액이 성공적으로 코팅되어 나노복합막이 제조되었다. 지지막 위의 친수화도가 높아짐에 따라 수투과 유량이 증가하였다. 특히 음하전을 띠는 폴리아미드 나노 복합막의 제타전위는 PVA로 코팅함으로서 감소되었다. 막 오염 실험은 양이온을 띠는 계면활성제, 휴민산, 휴민산과 칼슘이온 복합체 및 bovine serum albumin을 사용하여 실행하였다. PVA로 코팅되지 않은 폴리아미드 나노복합막은 각각의 오염물질에 의해서 심하게 오염되었다. 휴민산과 단백질에 의한 오염은 오염물질의 등전점에서 가장 심하게 발생하였다. 휴민산에 이가 양이온을 첨가함으로서 오염이 심각하게 일어났다. PVA 수용액으로 폴리아미드 나노 복합막을 코팅함으로서 막 오염이 감소되었다. PVA로 코팅된 폴리아미드 나노 복합막은 산, 염기용액에 대해 저항성을 보였다.

In order to improve the mechanical properties of the sulfonated polysulfone (SPSf) membranes previously synthesized in our laboratory, poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) was blended which is well known as the excellent physical and chemical properties. The resulting membranes blended with several molecular weight of PVA varying from 13,000 to 124,000 have been characterized to investigate the effect of PVA molecular weight in terms of ion conductivities, methanol permeabilities, water contents and ion exchange capacities for both heat treated and untreated membranes at 150$^{\circ}C$. The proton conductivity is decreased as the molecular weight of PVA increases. The plain SPSf-6.0 showed the proton conductivity of 0.078 S/cm whereas the blended membrane with M.W. 31,000 PVA indicated 0.04 S/cm. For methanol permeabilities, when PVA is added to SPAf-6.0, methanol crossover is increased because of the gain of the hydrophilicity from 3.4 to 6.5${\times}$10$\^$-6/ $\textrm{cm}^2$/s. For the annealed blended membranes (with M.W. 31,000 PVA), both the methanol corssover and proton conductivity showed very consistent values, about 2.3${\times}$10$\^$-6/ $\textrm{cm}^2$/s and 0.036 S/cm, respectively.

In a continuation of our previous studies on blood compatibility profiles of anion-substituted poly(vinyl alcohol) (PVA) membranes, in which hydroxyl groups have been replaced with carboxymethyl (C-PVA) and sulfonyl groups (S-PVA), we have studied the activation of complement components and the changes in white cell and platelet count in vitro and compared them with those of unmodified PVA, Cuprophane, and low-density polyethylene. Complement activation of fluid phase components, C3a, Bb, iC3b, and SC5b-9, and of bound phases, C3c, C3d, and SC5b-9, were assessed by enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) and immunoblot, respectively. The changes in the number of white cells and platelets following complement activation were counted using a Coulter counter. C-PVA and S-PVA activated C3 to a lesser extent than did PVA, which we attribute to the diminished level of surface nucleophiles of the samples. In addition, C- and S-PVA exhibit increased inhibition of Bb production, resulting in a decrease in the extent of C5 activation. Consequently, because of the reduced activation of C3 and C5, C- and S-PVA samples cause marked decreases in the SC5b-9 levels in plasma. We also found that the negatively charged sulfonate and carboxylate groups of the samples cause a greater extent of adsorbtion of the positively charged anaphylatoxins, C3a and C5a, because of strong electrostatic attraction, which in turn provides an inhibition of chemotaxis and activation of leukocytes. The ability to inhibit complement production, together with the binding ability of anaphylatoxins of the C- and S-PVA samples, leads to a prominent decrease in lysis of leukocytes as well as activation of platelets.

본 연구에서는 폴리비닐알코올(PVA)을 전해질 막으로 이용하기 위하여 가교제로서 글루타르알데히드(GLA)와 무기물 첨가제로 알루미늄실리케이트($Al_2O_3{\cdot}3SiO_2$)를 사용하여 PVA/GLA/$Al_2O_3{\cdot}3SiO_2$ 복합막을 제조하였다. PVA/GLA/$Al_2O_3{\cdot}3SiO_2$ 복합막은 GLA의 비율이 증가함에 따라 함수율이 감소되었고, 알루미늄실리케이트 함량이 증가함에 따라 함수율 향상이 예상되어 수소이온 전도도가 향상되는 경향을 보였다. 제조된 고분자의 가교결합은 IR과 함수율의 경향성으로 확인되었다. 제조된 고분자의 열분석은 TGA에 의해 수행되었다. TGA의 분석결과 PVA/GLA 복합막은 가교결합으로 인하여 PVA보다 열안정성이 우수하였으며, 복합막의 알루미늄실리케이트의 비율이 증가할수록 열안정성이 더욱 증대되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 본 연구에서 제조된 복합막은 열안전성을 갖으며 $60^{\circ}C$까지는 양이온전도도가 증가하는 경향을 갖지만 $90^{\circ}C$로 온도가 높아짐에 따라 성능이 낮아지는 경향을 보였다. 따라서 보다 적극적인 노력을 통하여 향후 이온전도성 복합 전해질막으로 적용 가능성을 타진해야 할 것으로 기대된다.
