Conventional extraction methods for polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB), a sustainable alternative to petroleum-based plastics, cause a decrease in molecular weight and a change in properties. In this work, we developed a method to extract PHB accumulated in microorganisms by physical disruption through filtration using a spiked carbon nanotube (CNT) membrane with functionalized CNT. In addition, filtration of the PHB-containing microbial solution was performed to confirm PHB extraction, which was found to be 4% more efficient than chloroform, the most used extraction method. These results indicate that the spiked CNT membrane has potential in the bioplastics recovery process.

카본나노튜브는 나노튜브의 종류에 따라 1~10nm의 직경과 수 $\mu\textrm{m}$정도의 길이를 가지는 고종횡비(high aspect ratio)가 가능하며, 고강성, 전기화학적 내성, 마모에 대한 강인성 때문에 원자력간 현미경(AEM)의 프로브로서 이상적인 재료로 인식되어 왔다. 따라서 단백질이나 DNA를 측정하는 바이오 분야, 나노 일렉트로닉스 분야, 나노 구조 측정분야 등 나노 관련 측정분야에서 점차 그 활용도가 높아 져가고 있다. 특히 100nm이하의 반도체의 CD(critical Dimension)을 측정하는데 있어서 나노튜브는 가장 이상적인 후보라고 할 수 있겠다.(중략)

In this study, CuO was introduced on MWCNTs dispersed with Au nanoparticles to improve the glucose sensing capability of electrochemical biosensors. Nano-cluster shaped CuO was synthesized due to the presence of Au nanoparticle, which affects glucose sensing performance. The biosensor featuring CuO/Au@MWCNTs nanocomposite as an electrode material when 0.1 mole of CuO was synthesized showed the highest sensitivity of $504.1{\mu}A\;mM^{-1}cm^{-2}$, which is 4 times better than that of MWCNTs based biosensors. In addition, it shows a wider linear range from 0 to 10 mM and lower limit of detection (LOD) of 0.008 mM. These results demonstrate that CuO/Au@MWCNTs nanocomposite sensors are superior to other CuO based biosensors which are attributed that the nano-cluster shaped CuO is favorable for the electrochemical reaction with glucose molecules.

Biodevices composed of biomolecular layer by mimicking the natural functions of cells and the interaction mechanisms of the constituted biomolecules have been developed in various industrial fields such as medical diagnosis, drug screening, electronic device, bioprocess, and environmental pollution detection. To construct biodevices such as bioelectronic devices (biomolecular diode, bio-information storage device and bioelectroluminescence device), protein chip, DNA chip, and cell chip, biomolecules including DNA, protein, and cells have been used. Fusion technology consisting of immobilization technology of biomolecules, micro/nano-scale patterning, detection technology, and MEMs technology has been used to construct the biodevices. Recently, nanotechnology has been applied to construct nano-biodevices. In this paper, the current technology status of biodevice including its fabrication technology and applications is described and the future development direction is proposed.

탄소나노튜브, 나노기술과 연관돼 누구나 한번쯤 들어봤을 만한 용어다. 튜브 모양의 이 탄소 덩어리는 나노 분야에서 가장 촉망 받는 소재이다. 그런데 최근 탄소나노튜브가 그간 누려온 맹주의 자리를 위협받고 있다. 형태가 약간만 바뀌어도 전기적 성질이 바뀌는 등 시간이 지나면서 여러 한계가 드러나자 이를 극복할 새로운 형태의 물질을 만들려는 연구가 세계적으로 진행되고 있기 때문이다. 그것은 나노전자소자의 다음 시대를 이끌어갈 소재, 바로 그래핀이다.

Glucose oxidase ($GOD_{ox}$) immobilized biosensor was fabricated by two methods. In one of the methods, gold nanoparticles (Au-NPs) prepared by ${\gamma}$-irradiation were loaded into the poly(maleic anhydride)-grafted multi-walled carbon nanotube, PMAn-g-MWCNT electrode via physical entrapment. In the other method, the Au-NPs were prepared by electrochemical reduction of Au ions on the surface of PMAn-g-MWCNT electrode and then GODox was immobilized into the Au-NPs. The $GOD_{ox}$ immobilized biosensors were tested for electrocatalytic activities to sense glucose. The sensing range of the biosensor based on the Au-NPs physically modified PMAn-g-MWCNT electrode was from $30\;{\mu}M$ to $100\;{\mu}M$ for the glucose concentration, and the detection limit was $15\;{\mu}M$. Interferences of ascorbic acid and uric acid were below 7.6%. The physically Au deposited PMAn-g-MWCNT paste electrodes appear to be good sensor in detecting glucose.

Single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWNT) exhibit strong Raman signals as well as fluorescence emissions in the near infrared regions where most biomolecules are transparent. Such signals do not blink or photobleach under prolonged excitation. which is advantageous to optical nano-bio marker applications. In this paper, single walled carbon nanotubes are conjugated with specific types of single-stranded DNA in order to detect oligonucleotides of corresponding complimentary sequences. Dot blotting experiments and comparative Raman spectroscopy observations demonstrated excellent sensitivity and specificity of carbon nanotube-DNA probes. The results show the possibility of using SWNT as generic nano-bio markers for the precise detection of specific kinds of genes.

나노임프린트 공정으로 제작된 동일한 형태의 패턴 구조를 변형하거나, 표면의 특성을 조절하는 것은 임프린트 공정의 응용성을 높일 수 있는 유용한 기술이다. 본 연구진은 플라즈마와 열처리를 통하여 임프린트 나노패턴의 크기를 변형하는 연구[1]와 나노구조의 형태에 따른 표면특성의 변화 연구[2]를 수행한 바 있는데, 본 연구에서는 나노임프린트 패턴의 구조 및 표면특성을 단일 칩 내에서 연속적으로 변화하도록 제작하는 방법에 관해 고찰하였다. 나노임프린트 공정으로 제작한 패턴을 반응성이 연속적으로 변화하도록 고안된 산소 플라즈마 장치에서 식각하여 구조를 연속적으로 변형하고, 전자현미경(SEM)과 원자힘현미경(AFM), 집속이온빔(FIB) 등을 통해 표면과 단면을 확인하였으며, 구조변형 이후의 후처리에 따른 접촉각 등의 변화를 관찰하여 임프린트 나노구조 패턴 표면의 화학적 특성을 조절하는 방법을 탐구하였다. 본 연구 결과는 단일한 모 패턴으로부터 다양한 크기의 패턴을 제작하고 화학적 특성을 조절하는 것이 가능함을 보이는 것으로서, 향후 이러한 연속적 변화를 갖는 미세구조를 이용하여 혼합 물질의 분리 및 바이오 물질의 검출 등에 응용할 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

In this study, exosomal-like nano-vesicles derived from probiotics were isolated and various physiological activities were evaluated on the skin. This study show that Lactococcus lactis subsp. lactis (LL) are incubated, and then isolated LL derived exosomal nanovesicles (LVs) at the range of 70 ~ 200 nm by high-pressure homogenizer and ultrafiltration. The vesicle numbers were an average of 1.81 × 10¹¹ particles/mL. This study finds out the bacterial nanovesicles' beneficial effect on the skin. Fibrillin (FBN1) gene expression increased by 23% in fibroblast cells. Fibronectin (FN1) and filaggrin (FLG) gene expression increased by 65% and 400% in keratinocytes. We could see that cornified envelope (CE) formation ability was increased by 30% compared to the control group. Furthermore, collagen type I alpha 1 (COL1A1) protein expression increased by 83% compared to the UV-irradiated control group. These results suggest that LVs could help skin barrier improvement and used as an ingredient for cosmetics or pharmaceuticals.
