In this study, we tried to design and synthesize using natural polymers (hyaluronic acid and sodium alginate) and also to make some kinds of scaffolds as sponge type for reducing the burst effect of loaded drug from them. Photo-dimerizable group was incorporated to hyaluronic acid and degradable hydrogel was prepared by the UV radiation of the polymer. The pore size and its distribution of scaffold were controlled by changing microsphere production conditions such as solution concentration and spraying pressure. It was found that drug release behavior from synthesized scaffolds was affected by hybridization of two naturally originated polymers (cinnamoylated tetrabutylammonium hyaluronate: CHT and cinnamolylated sodium alginate: CSA) and the obtained scaffolds were degraded in fairly long time (about 2 months) under in vitro environment. Therefore, we expect that obtained scaffolds can be applicable for the tissue regeneration scaffolds in the fields of orthopaedic surgery.

고지 사용율을 증가시킴으로써 원가 절감을 모색하고 있는 국내 신문용지 생산업체에서 는 보류도와 탈수성 저하에 따른 생산성 악화가 발생하고 있을 뿐 아니라 제품의 강도 및 인쇄적성 저하라는 문제를 극복하는 것이 매우 중요한 과제로 대두되고 있다. 또 신문용지 생산공정의 수질이 악화됨에 따라서 사용되는 화학첨가제의 효능이 크게 감소하는 문제를 지니고 있다. 적합한 양성전분과 이러한 문제를 종합적으로 해결하기 위한 방안으로 신문용지 생산에 이의 적용기술을 모색하였다. 전기전도도가 4000 $\mu\textrm{s}$/cm인 신문용지 지료를 이용하여 DS 0.03인 저치환 양성 전분의 보류도 증가효과를 평가한 결과 양성전분을 사용하지 않은 경우에 비하여 보류도 증가율이 6 6%로 낮게 나타났으나, DS 0.06인 전분은 보류도 증가율이 21%로 향상효과가 높게 나타났 다. 또 양성전분의 치환도가 증가할수록 인장지수, 내부결합강도, 표면강도 향상 효과도 증 가되는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 가교 처리를 실시한 치환도 0.08 및 0.1의 습식양성전분의 경우에는 미세분 보류도, 여수도, 탁도 등에 큰 효과를 나타내지 않았다. 경우 보류도가 각 확인하였으며,이 건식방법으로 제조된 치환도 0.08 빛 0.15인 양성 전분을 0.5% 첨가할 각 16%, 21% 증가되어 적은 첨가량에서도 보류향상 효과가 높다는 것을 러한 효과는 여수도 및 양이온 요구량 측정을 통하여 재확인되었다. 저치환 양성전분의 성능을 개선시키기 위한 방법으로서 비이온성 천연고분자를 활용하 는 방안을 검토한 결과 비이온성 천연고분자를 병용함에 따라 보류도 증가율이 탁월하게 개 선되었으며, 인장지수, 내부결합강도, 표면강도 등에서도 같은 효과를 얻을 수 있었다.

현대의 건축 재료는 각종 고분자 화합물의 비중이 커지고 있어 건축 재료가 연소할 때 발생하는 가스의 성분비가 천연재료를 이용하던 과거의 건축물과 차이를 보인다. 실제로 근래의 건축재료 연소가스의 정성분석결과에서도 천연재료의 연소가스에서 발견되는 CO, $CO_2$ 외에도 HF, HCN, HBr, HCl, NO, $NO_2$, $SO_2$등의 화학종이 발견되고 있다. 이러한 화학종들은 고분자 화합물에서 발생하는 것으로 분석되며, 건축 재료에서 화합물의 비중이 높아지는 만큼 향후 이러한 화학종들이 건축물의 화재에서 대피의 주요 방해요인으로 작용할 수 있다. 이에 본 연구에서는 HF를 대상으로 동물 노출실험을 통하여 얻은 결과와 HF에 대한 기존연구를 비교 분석하여 HF의 독성에 대한 기초 연구를 수행하였다.

Silk fibroin is a natural biomaterial that has the biocompatibility and other many advantages. But as a silk fibroin membrane thickness increases, the transparency becomes more opaque. Because the transparency of membranes tissue such as the cornea and dura mater are necessary, transparent membrane is required to replace these transparent membranes. In this study, we fabricated blending silk fibroin membranes that made by mixing the various inorganic salts or polymer in an aqueous solution of silk fibroin. The transparency of the membranes were analyzed. the transparency of these membranes is very different, depending on the mixed materials. Inorganic salts mixed silk membrane was more transparent than the polymer mixed one. Especially, the silk fibroin membrane with calcium chloride was very transparent. We showed the possibility of blending silk fibroin membrane, which can be used in perfect transparent membrane such as the cornea. In the future, we expect that the transparent blending silk fibroin membrane can be used in various medical applications.

In this study, the hydrogels composed of polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP), ${\kappa}$-carrageenan (${\kappa}C$), and 1,2-hexanediol (HD) were prepared by ${\gamma}$-ray irradiation. The radiation dose was 25 kGy and the concentration of ${\kappa}C$ was 3 wt%. The physical properties of the hydrogels were investigated as a function of the concentrations of PVP and HD. The gel content and the tensile strength increased with increasing PVP concentration due to the crosslinking between the pyrrolidone molecules and decreased with increasing HD concentration. The degree of swelling was inversely proportional to the gel content because the highly crosslinked hydrogels had a tighter structure, hence reducing their water absorption. The antibacterial tests indicated that the hydrogels containing HD had antibacterial activity.

As an alternative for the traditional materials packed in biofilters treating gaseous VOCs, a novel packing material has been developed and tested. In the packing material(named as Hydrogel Bead, HB), pollutant-degrading microorganisms were immobilized in hydrogel consisted of alginate, polyvinyl alcohol(PVA), and powdered activated carbon. A closed-bottle study showed that the HB rapidly removed gaseous styrene without the losses of adsorption and biodegradation capacity. Biofilter column experiments using the HBs also demonstrated that greater than 95% of removal efficiencies were found at an inlet styrene loading rate of $245g/m^3/hr$, which was higher biofilter performance than other elimination capacity reported earlier. Furthermore, when the inlet styrene concentration increased stepwise, the adsorption played an important role in overall styrene removals. The absorbed styrene was found to be biodegraded in the following low inlet loading condition. Consequently, the new HB material is able to successfully minimize the drawbacks of activated carbon(necessity of regeneration) and biological processes(low removal capacity at dynamic loading conditions), and maximize the overall performance of biofilter systems treating VOCs.

Alginate derivatives possessing various lengths of alkyl amine (C8, C12, C16) chain were prepared by oxidation followed by reductive amination of alginate and the products were characterized by spectral analysis. The surface tension critical micelle concentration (c. m. c) and solubility of a hydrophobic compound azobenzene were examined. Series of synthesized alginate-derived polymeric surfactants(APSs) reduced the surface tension. The dissolving capacity of APSs toward azobenzene was about half that of SDS. In order to investigate the capacity of metal adsorption Co and Pb were selected as a representative metal. The overall removal efficiency of APSs were high compared with that of alginate at pH 3.5 and 7 respectively. Major mechanism of the heavy metal removal is the complex of metal with carboxyl group.

Recently, there is a growing interest in vegetable oils, cheap and abundant renewable natural resources. Vegetable oils can be used as raw materials for ecofriendly biodegradable polymer materials. In this study, poly(${\beta}$-amino esters) were synthesized by polymerization reaction of acrylated epoxidized soybean oil (AESO) and 2-aminoethanol. Various polymer films were prepared by changing the molar ratio of AESO to 2-aminoethanol. The formation of C-N bonds in poly(${\beta}$-amino ester) was confirmed using FT-IR. Gel contents higher than 98% confirmed the synthesis of crosslinked polymer networks. Tensile strengths and elongation at breaks of polymer films ranged from 0.3 to 1.3 MPa and 32 to 55%, respectively. Polymer films degraded 2 to 7% of the initial weight in 35 days in phosphate buffer solution (pH 7.2) containing lipase enzyme.
