최근, 플라스틱 남용으로 인해 바이오매스 기반 물질에 대한 연구의 중요성이 증가하고 있는 추세이다. Cellulose acetate butyrate (CAB)는 생분해성의 성질 때문에 재생이 가능하여 잠재성을 가지고 있는 고분자이다. Poly(ethylene-co-isosorbide terephthalate) (PEIT)는 아이소소바이드 모노머로부터 유래된 바이오매스 기반의 고분자이다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 분야에 적용되고 있지만 열안정성이 낮은 CAB에 내열성이 높은 PEIT를 도입하여 용액 블렌딩 방법을 통해 CAB/PEIT 블렌드를 제조하였다. 블렌드의 상용성을 판단하기 위해 모폴로지와 유리전이온도의 거동을 FE-SEM, DMA를 사용하여 분석하였다. TGA 결과는 CAB/PEIT 75/50, 50/50 조성에서 향상된 열적 안정성을 나타내었으며 XRD에서 새로운 결정 구조는 관찰되지 않았다. 결과적으로 CAB/PEIT solution blends는 모든 조성에서 좋은 상용성을 가짐을 확인하였다.

Additive manufacturing (AM) is an alternative metal fabrication technology. The outstanding advantage of AM (3D-printing, direct manufacturing), is the ability to form shapes that cannot be formed with any other traditional technology. 3D-printing began as a new method of prototyping in plastics. Nowadays, AM in metals allows to realize not only net-shape geometry, but also high fatigue strength and corrosion resistant parts. This success of AM in metals enables new applications of the technology in important fields, such as production of medical implants. The 3D-printing of medical implants is an extremely rapidly developing application. The success of this development lies in the fact that patient-specific implants can promote patient recovery, as often it is the only alternative to amputation. The production of AM implants provides a relatively fast and effective solution for complex surgical cases. However, there are still numerous challenging open issues in medical 3D-printing. The goal of the current research review is to explain the whole technological and design chain of bio-medical bone implant production from the computed tomography that is performed by the surgeon, to conversion to a computer aided drawing file, to production of implants, including the necessary post-processing procedures and certification. The current work presents examples that were produced by joint work of Polygon Medical Engineering, Russia and by TechMed, the AM Center of Israel Institute of Metals. Polygon provided 3D-planning and 3D-modelling specifically for the implants production. TechMed were in charge of the optimization of models and they manufactured the implants by Electron-Beam Melting ($EBM^{(R)}$), using an Arcam $EBM^{(R)}$ A2X machine.

BACKGROUND: Bisphenol A (BPA) is a chemical widely used in polycarbonate plastics, epoxy resins. BPA is an endocrine disruptor. Residue of BPA in agricultural environments is a major concern. The objective of this study was to understand the characteristics of the uptake and distribution of BPA and its metabolites introduced into the agricultural environment to crops, and to use it as basic data for further research on reduction of BPA in agricultural products. METHODS AND RESULTS: This study established the analysis method of BPA and its metabolites in soil and crops, and estimated the intake of BPA and its metabolites from lettuce (Lactuca sativa) grown in sandy loam and loam soil, which are representative soils in Korea. The two major metabolites of BPA were 4-hydroxyacetophenone (4-HAP) and 4-hydroxybenzoic acid (4-HBA). BPA, 4-HAP and 4-HBA have been analyzed by using liquid chromatography tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS). These substances were detected in sandy loam and loam soil, indicating that certain portions of BPA were converted to 4-HAP and 4-HBA in the soil; however, it was observed that only 4-HBA migrated to lettuce through the roots into crops. CONCLUSION: The uptake residues showed the BPA and 4-HAP were not detected in lettuces grown on sandy loam (SL) and loam (L) soil treatments that were applied with of 10 ng/g, 50 ng/kg and 500 ng/g of BPA. However, the 4-HBA was detected at the level of 7 ng/g and 11 ng/g in the lettuce grown in sandy loam and loam soil that were treated with the 500 ng/g of BPA, respectively, while the 8 ng/g of 4-HBA was measured in the lettuce cultivated in the loam that was treated with 100 ng/g of BPA. This result presents that the BPA persisting in the soil of the pot was absorbed through the lettuce roots and then distributed in the lettuce leaves at the converted form of 4-HBA, what is the oxidative metabolite of BPA.

Sustainable and eco-friendly polymers, natural polymers, bio-based polymers, and degradable polyesters, are of growing interest because of environmental concerns associated with waste plastics and emissions of carbon dioxide from preparation of petroleum-based polymers. Degradable polymers, poly(butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT), poly(propylene carbonate) (PPC), and poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA), are related to reduction of carbon dioxide in processing. To improve a weak mechanical property of a degradable polymer, a blending method is widely used. This study was forced on the component separation of degradable polymer blends for effective recycling. The melt-mixed blend films in a specific solvent were separated by two layers. Each layer was analysed by FT-IR, DSC, and contact angle measurements. The results showed that each component in the PPC/PLLA and PPC/PBAT blends was successfully separated by a solvent.

To determine whether rearing density affects the hypermelanosis on the blind side (ambicoloration) of olive flounders Paralichthys olivaceus, we reared fry with an unpigmented non-eyed (blind) side in duplicate at densities of 150 individuals/$m^2$ (commercial production density: control) and 450 individuals/$m^2$ (high density group) for 90 days in 1-t dark-green fiberglass reinforced plastics (FRP) tank. We recorded feed intake, feed conversion efficiency (FE), growth and survival, and measured the ratios of staining blind-side area (staining area) and ambicolored fish every 30 days. Daily feed intake (DFI), feed conversion efficiency (FE), growth rate, condition factors, and survival rate were calculated at the end of the experiment. Although the FE was higher in the high-density compared to the control, the two density groups showed similar feed intakes, growth, and survival. The ratio of staining area as well as the ratio of ambicolored fish significantly were significantly higher in the high-density group than in the control from days 30 to 60, but significantly increased and evened out by the end of the experiment (P<0.05). In conclusion, we determined that rearing density is not the main cause of the blind-side hypermelanosis, but found that increasing the rearing density can accelerate the ambicoloration in olive flounders.

It is considered that the application of advanced composite materials to the prostheses for the disables is important to improve their bio-mechanical performance. Particularly, energy storing foot prosthesis is mostly important to restore gait ability of the disables with low-extremity amputation since it could provide propulsion at terminal stance enhancing the disables ability to walk long distance even run and jump. Therefore, the energy storing spring of Prosthetic foot keel under cyclic bending moment use mainly of high strength glass fiber reinforced plastic. The main objective of this study was to evaluate the stacking sequence effect using the delamination growth rate(dA$_{D}$/dN) of energy storing spring in glass fiber reinforced plastic under cyclic bending moment. The test results indicated that the shape of delamination zone depends on stacking sequence in GFRP laminates. Delamination area(A$_{D}$) turns out that variable types with the contour increased non-linearly toward the damage zones.nes.

Biomass lignin, a waste produced during the paper and bio-ethanol production process, is a cheap material that is available in large quantities. Thus, the interest in the valorization of biomass lignin has been increasing in industrial and academic areas. Over the years, lignin has been predominantly burnt as fuel to run pulping plants. However, less than 2% of the available lignin has been utilized for producing specialty chemicals, such as dispersants, adhesives, surfactants, and other value-added products. The development of value-added lignin-derived co-products should help make second generation biorefineries and the paper industry more profitable by valorizing lignin. Another possible approach towards value-added applications is using lignin as a component in plastics. However, blending lignin with polymers is not simple because the polarity of lignin molecules results in strong self-interactions. Therefore, achieving in-depth insights on lignin characteristics and structure will help in accelerating the development of lignin-based products. Considering the multipurpose characteristics of lignin for producing value-added products, this review will shed light on the potential applications of lignin and lignin-based derivatives on polymeric composite production. Moreover, the challenges in lignin valorization will be addressed.

나노기술과 바이오기술의 융합연구에 의해 나노바이오기술이 발전되고 있다. 나노바이오기술의 중요한 응용연구 중의 하나로서, 진단이나 바이오센서 분야에서 단백질-단백질 및 단백질-바이오물질간의 상호작용을 연구하기 위한 단백질 센서 칩이 개발되어 왔다. 본 논문에서는 단백질의 선택적 고정화를 위한 새로운 생체고분자 기질로 PHA를 이용하는 첫 번째 예로서, 단백질-단백질 및 항원-항체 반응의 구현을 나타내고자 하였다. 본 시스템은 PHA 표면 위에서 PHA depolymerase의 SBD와의 선택적 결합에 기반한 것으로, PHA depolymerase의 SBD와 융합된 단백질이 PHA가 코팅된 표면 위에 spotting 될 수 있고 미세접촉인쇄방법에 의해 PHA 위에 미세패턴이 제조되어지는 것을 알 수 있었다(52, 53). 이러한 새로운 전략이 PHA depolymerase의 SBD와 다른 단백질을 융합함으로서 미세 spotting과 미세패터닝이 가능하게 되었고 항원-항체의 생물학적 반응을 통해 많은 바이오센서 칩 연구에 응용될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 또한, PHA 마이크로 비드에도 PHA depolymerase의 SBD와 융합된 단백질을 고정시킴으로서 항원-항체 반응을 유도할 수 있음을 확인하였다(54). PHA의 구조를 변경하여 PHA 기판, PHA 필름, PHA 미세패턴, PHA 마이크로 비드 등을 이용할 수 있으며 multiplex assay를 동시에 진행할 수 있는 다양한 융합 단백질을 사용할 수 있을 것이다. 생분해성 플라스틱으로서 성공적으로 개발된 PHA를 이용한 새로운 플랫폼 기술이 PHA depolymerase의 SBD를 이용함으로서 특이적이고 선택적인 단백질의 고정화에 이용될 수 있음을 확인하였다. 본 전략이 다양한 단백질-단백질 및 단백질-바이오물질 반응을 이용한 바이오칩 및 바이오센서의 응용연구에 유용하게 사용될 것이다.

환경문제를 야기시켰던 해상용 FRP재활용에 대해 지난 10여 년간 다양한 국가적 지원이 이루어져서 폐FRP로부터 콘크리트 강화용 섬유 제작이 진행되어 왔다. 이렇게 제작된 강화 콘크리트에 대해 구조적 능력까지 시험한 바 있다. 시험 테스트 결과 재활용 FRP 가루를 사용한 콘크리트는 고강도 콘크리트의 압축강도를 감소시키지 않았을 뿐 만 아니라, 고강도 콘크리트의 내폭 특성을 상당히 증대시켰다. 그러나 폐FRP로부터 매트층의 분리 방법이 안정화되지 않았기 때문에 폐FRP 섬유 가루의 특성에 대한 연구는 종결되지 않았다. 본 연구는 폐FRP로부터 매트층을 분리하는 효과적이며 친환경적인 새로운 방법에 관한 것이며, 이것은 내폭성이 강한 제품이나 구조물에 적합한 FRP섬유가루 생산 공정에 유용한 재활용 공정이라 생각한다.
