화학적 혹은 생물학적인 방법으로 합성된 생분해성 고분자(biodegradable polymers)는 환경 문제와 인간의 생명 유지와 같은 인간 생활과 밀접한 관계가 있는 적용 분야로 인해 많은 관심을 받고 있으며, 국내 플라스틱의 폐기량만 해도 2003년을 기준으로 연간 4,000톤을 쉽게 넘고 있고 재활용되는 양은 전체의 1/3 수준이며, 나머지 2/3는 소각되거나 매립되고 있다. 폴리에스테르계 생분해성 섬유는 "미생물이 분비하는 효소로, 분해 가능한 화학합성 섬유"로서, 미생물이 분비하는 가수분해 효소에 의해 고분자 쇄가 절단, 저분자량 화합물이 돼 미생물의 체내로 흡수되며, 이것이 미생물의 체내에서 효소작용에 의해 산화탄소와 물로 분해되는 섬유로 정의된다. 생분해성 고분자 중 화학합성 고분자인 지방족 폴리에스테르계 생분해성 고분자는 특히 환경 산업으로부터 많은 관심을 받고 있으며, 이러한 결정성 폴리에스테르계 고분자의 물성은 고분자의 결정화도 뿐만 아니라, 압력, 온도 등에 의해서 변할 수 있는 결정 구조에 의해 크게 영향을 받는다. 생분해성 섬유는 실용화가 이미 시작됐고, 다용도화와 수요 확대를 위해 많은 연구소와 대학, 기업들이 연구개발을 진행하고 있으며, 향후 석유자원이 고갈된다는 것은 명백한 사실이므로 이에 따라 화석자원의 절약과 유효 이용을 위해서라도 바이오 베이스 폴리머를 주원료로 한생분해성 섬유의 개발은 매우 중요한 의미를 갖는다. 본 연구에서는 합성섬유 중에서 75%의 비중을 차지하는 폴리에스테르를 대체 가능한 고내열생분해성 폴리에스테르계 직물을 제조하여 범용 폴리에스테르와 염색온도에 대한 염색성을 고찰하였다. 염색온도($100^{\circ}C$, $110^{\circ}C$, $120^{\circ}C$, $130^{\circ}C$)별, 3종의 분산염료의 농도(0.25,0.5,1.0,2.0%o.w.f)별 Build-up성 및 균염성을 비교하였으며, 염색 시료의 견뢰도를 평가하였다.

In this study, we investigated the thermal properties of corn-starch filled polybutylene succinate-adipate (PBS-AD) bio-composites. Thermal analysis (TA) is used to describe the analytical method for measuring the chemical property and weight loss of composite materials as a function of temperature. The thermal stability of corn-starch was lower than that of pure PBS-AD. As corn-starch loading increased, the thermal stability and degradation temperature of the bio-composites decreased and the ash content increased. It can be seen that the degree of compatibility and interfacial adhesion of the bio-composites decreased because of the increasing mixing ratio of the corn-starch. As the content of corn-starch increased, there was no significant change in the glass transition temperature (T_g) and the melting temperature (T_m) for the bio-composites. The storage modulus (E') and loss modulus (E") of the corn-starch flour filled PBS-AD bio-composites were higher than those of PBS-AD, because of the incorporation of corn-starch increased the stiffness of the bio-composites. At higher temperatures, the decreased storage modulus (E') of bio-composites was due to the increased polymer chain mobility of the matrix polymer. From these results, we can expect that corn-starch has potential as a reinforcing filler for bio-composites. Furthermore, we recommend using a coupling agent to improve the interfacial adhesion between corn-starch and biodegradable polymer.

일반적인 합성 섬유들은 비생분해성 고분자로 환경문제의 원인이므로 이를 대체하기 위하여 생분해성 지방족 폴리에스터가 널리 연구되고 있다.[1] 그러나, 이들의 기계적, 열적 성질이 다른 합성 섬유에 비해 떨어진다. 따라서, 생분해성 고분자의 특성을 유지하면서 기계적 성질을 향상시키기 위하여 다른 유연한 고분자와 지방족 폴리에스터를 공중합하였다.(중략)

A biliant stent was fabricated using a magnesium alloy wire, a biodegradable metal. In order to control the fast decomposition and corrosion of magnesium alloys in vivo, magnesium alloy wires were coated with biodegradable polymers such as polycaprolactone (PCL), poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC), poly (L-lactic acid) (PLLA), and poly (D, L-lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA). In the case of PPC, which is a surface erosion polymer, there is no crack or peeling compared to other polymers (PCL, PLLA, and PLGA) that exhibit bulk erosion behavior. Also, the effect of biodegradable polymer coating on the axial force, which is the mechanical property of magnesium alloy stents, was investigated. Stents coated with most biodegradable polymers (PCL, PLLA, PLGA) increased axial forces compared to the uncoated stent, reducing the flexibility of the stent. However, the stent coated with PPC showed the axial force similar to uncoated stent, which did not reduce the flexibility. From the above results, PPC is considered to be the most efficient biodegradable polymer.

고분자의 생분해는 미생물에 의하여 분비되는 효소를 촉매로 하여 산화, 가수분해 등의 반응이 일어나 진행된다. 고분자의 생분해성에 영향을 미치는 요소는 다양하여 고분자 자체의 분자구조뿐만 아니라 분해되는 환경조건과도 관련되어있다. 특히 고분자를 분해시키는 미생물과 분해에 직접적인 촉매로 작용하는 효소는 대부분 수분이 있는 조건에서 활성이 크기 때문에, 수분의 접근성과 침투정도는 생분해에 중요한 요인으로 작용한다. (중략)

Natural polymers, biopolymers, and synthetic polymers based on renewable resources are the basis for the 21th portfolio of sustainable and eco-friendly plastics but high-volume consumable plastics continue to be dominated by nondegradable petroleum-based materials. Three factors have recently made biodegradable polymers economically attractive: (i) rising costs of petroleum production resulting from the depletion of the most easily accessible reserves, (ii) environmental and economic concerns associated with waste plastics, and (iii) emissions of carbon dioxide from preparation of petroleum-based materials. These pressures have driven commercial applications based on biodegradable polymers which are related to reduction of carbon dioxide in processing, such poly(hydroxy alkanoate) and poly (lactide). Since initial degradation of these polymers leads to catastrophic mechanical failure, it is necessary to control the rate of initial degradation for commercial applications. In this article, we have a critic review on the recent progress of polymer modification for the control of degradation.

Biodegradable molecularly imprinted polymers (MIPs) can be applied in the biomedical area of biosensors, drug delivery, etc. Therefore, in this study, biodegradable theophylline MIPs were synthesized via photopolymerization using a poly $(\varepsilon-caprolactone)$ (PCL) macromer as a cross-linker and their physical properties were investigated. The yield for the synthesis of the PCL macromer with terminal acrylate groups was ca. 78 mol%. The products were characterized by the combination of FT-IR and $^1H-NMR$ spectroscopic analyses. UV/Visible spectroscopic analysis for removing and rebinding theophylline was performed by monitoring the theophylline concentration in the solution. In vitro biodegradation tests of the theophylline MIPs performed in phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution at $37^{\circ}C$ showed good biodegradability of the MIPs.
