To improve the blood compatibility of cellulose membrane, 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl-2-(trimethylammonium)ethyl phosphate(MTP), which is a methacrylate with phospholipid polar group, and glycidyl methacrylate(GMA) were grafted simultaneously on the surface of membrane and the biocompatibility of grafted membrane was investigated. There was no difference of permeability between the MTP and GMA-grafted and the original cellulose membrane. The permeation pathway for a solute whose molecular weight was above 10$^{4}$ is maintained after grafting on the surface of membrane. The cellulose membrane grafted with MTP and GMA effectively suppressed thrombogenicity for the rabbit blood. This effect became more clear with increasing the surface distribution of phospholipid polar groups.

To improve the biofunctional properties of silk fibroin membranes, 2-(methacryloyloxy)ethyl-2-(trimethylammonium)ethyl phosphate(MTP), which is a methacrylate with phospholipid polar groups grafted and poly(MTP-co-BMA) was coated on the surface of silk fibroin membranes. The permeability and biocompatibility of silk fibroin membranes with phosphoryl choline group were investigated. The permeability of a salt(NaCl) was increased with grafting by MTP. Futhermore, the poly(MTP-co-BMA)-coated silk fibroin membranes displayed less blood cell adhesion than the silk fibroin membranes.

To improve the blood compatibility of chitosan membranes, 2-(methacryloyloxy)-ethyl-2-(trimethylammonium)ethyl phosphate(MTP), which is a methacrylate with phospholipid polar groups, was grafted on the surface of chitosan membranes and the biocompatibility of MTP-grafted chitosan membranes was investigated. The permeation coefficient gradually decreased with increasing in molecular weights of biocomponents below 10$^{4}$, and drastically decreased above 10$^{4}$. This result corresponds with the permeability of solutes in case of hemodialysis membranes. The MTP-grafted chitosan membranes displayed less blood cell adhesion than the chitosan membranes. This may due to the formation of biomembrane4ike surface by adsorption and arrangement of phospholipid molecules from serum onto the MTP copolymer surface.

We have synthesized uniform nanometer sized magnetite particles using chemical coprecipitation technique through a sonochemical method with surfactant such as oleic acid. Magnetite phase nanoparticles could be observed from X-ray diffraction. Magnetite nanoparticles is surface phase morphology and biopolymer-microspheres for Application Medical. Magnetite nanoparticles coated biopolymer. Atomic Force Microscope (AFM) was used to image the coated nanoparticles. Magnetic colloid suspensions containing particles with sodium oleate, chitosan and $\beta$-glucan have been prepared. The morphology of the magnetic biopolymer microsphere particles were characterized using optical microscope. Magnetic hysteresis measurement were performed using a superconducting quantum interference device (SQUID) magnetometer at room temperature to investigate the magnetic properties of the biopolymer microspheres and magnetite coated biopolymer including magnetite nanoparticles. Magnetic Resonance (MR) imaging was used to investigate biopolymer coated nanoparticles and biopolymer microspheres.

최근 손상된 생체조직의 재생 또는 대체를 위하여 다공성의 지지체(scaffold)를 이용하는 연구가 활발히 이루어져 왔다. 지지체 재료는 조직 재생을 목적으로 하는 경우에는 생분해성 고분자, 생흡수성 세라믹스 또는 이들의 복합재료가 사용되고, 조직 대체를 목적으로 하는 경우에는 금속 또는 세라믹스 재료가 단독으로 사용된다. 현재 경조직 대체를 위한 임플란트 재료로 사용되고 있는 금속재료 중 대부분이 타이타늄 또는 타이타늄 합금이다. 타이타늄은 비강도, 내식성이 우수하며, 생체 내 환경에서 부동태피막 재생 속도가 빠르고, 섬유상 결체조직 형성 두께가 얇아 생체의료용 소재로서 각광을 받고 있다. 다공성 타이타늄은 기존 타이타늄 소재의 장점에 다공체의 구조적인 특성을 부가하여 하중을 받는 골 결손부에 사용될 경우 뼈와의 탄성계수 차이에서 기인하는 응력차폐(stress shielding) 효과를 최소화할 수 있고, 다공체 내부로 골조직 성장을 유도할 수 있어 지지체와 골조직이 일체화되는 골융합 효과의 극대화를 기대할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 기공 구조를 다양하게 제어할 수 있고, 3차원적 연결 기공구조를 만들 수 있는 적층조형(layer manufacturing) 기술을 이용하여 3차원 다공성 타이타늄 지지체를 제조하였으며, 이에 대한 세포독성, 조골세포 증식능 등 in vitro 생체적합성을 평가하고, Rat model 을 이용한 in vivo 생체적합성을 평가하였다. 또한 지지체의 골조직 재생 유도성의 증대를 위한 생체활성처리 영향도 분석 평가하였다.

Over last three decades, various biomaterials has been developed and applied in the biomedical market. The practical utilization of biomaterials depends on the study about an appropriate physical and biological response of biomaterials. The modification of biomaterials using various surface treatment methods has recently become an interesting topic in the field of surface engineering. A padient surface is the surface on which a gradually varying chemical composition exists along its length. A large number of research groups have been focused on the preparation of gradient surfaces. Such gradient surface is of particular interest for basic and applied studies of the interactions between biological species and surfaces since the effect of a selected property like wettability or chemical composition can be examined in a single experiment on one surface. The present review focuses on the preparation and characterization of various gradient surfaces, and their interactions with biological species.

agents used for enhancing mechanical properties of porous natural scaffolds, reduces biocompatability of the scaffolds, due to their inherent cytotoxicity. In this study, scaffolds which was composed of chitosan, alginate and gelatin were cross-linked by using heat treatment instead of cross-linking agent and mechanical properties of the cross-linked scaffold were investigated. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR) analysis confirmed that cross-linking of heat-treated scaffold was formed via amide or ester linkage between the polymer chains. The heat-treated scaffold had interconnected pores with mean diameter of 100~200 m and showed more than two fold increase of water uptake in comparison with chemically cross-linked scaffold. Tensile strength of the heat-treated scaffold increased up to 130% compared to non cross-linked scaffold and average maximum elongation was 11.3%. The porous cross-linked scaffold with the improved mechanical property may be suitable as a biocompatable scaffold for tissue engineering.

It described the modification of polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) with amphiphilic methyl methacrylate-based polyethylene glycol (PMMA-b-PEG) to enhance the hydrophilicity of a PDMS surface and cytotoxicity of it. PMMA-b-PEG solutions in water/ethanol mixture was spun-cast on the PDMS surface and the surface was characterized by long-term measurement of water contact angle. The morphology of PDMS surfaces coated with PMMA-b-PEG was characterized by field emission scanning electron microscopy and atomic force microscope. Cytotoxicity of the modified surfaces was investigated by MTT assay which would be necessary for the evaluation of tissue compatibility after implantation of the materials. Based on the MTT assay, PDMS coated with PMMA-b-PEG didn't show any significant cytotoxcity.
