In order to formulate a controlled release system for oral drug delivery, the microcapsules were prepared in w/o emulsion containing cefaclor as a water-soluble model drug by th e method of interfacial polycondensation. Gelatin wis selected as a suitable polymer for interfacial polycondensation. Gelatin solution containing drug was emulsified in an organic phase under mechanical stirring. After emulsification, terephthaloyl chloride was added as cross linking agent, followed by mechanical stirring, washing and drying. Physical characteristics of microcapsules were investigated by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy and particle size analysis. Mean particle sizes of gelatin microcapsules were, in the range, of about 20~50 ${\mu}$m. The microcapsules were in good apperance with spherical shapes before washing, but were destroyed partially after washing and drying, even though some microcapsules were still maintained in their shapes. Contents of cefaclor in the microcapsules were calculated by UV spectrophotometry after 3 days extraction with pH 4 carbonate buffer solution. The effects of cross linking time. pH. concentration of cross-linking agent, and temperature on drug release kinetics have been discussed extensively.

Ion implantation provides a unique way to modify the mechanical, optical and electrical properties of polymer by depositing the energy of ions in the material on the atomic scale. Implantation of ions into the polymers generally leads to a radiation damage, which, in many cases, modifies the properties of the surface and bulk of the material. These modifications result from the changes of the chemical structure caused in their turn by changing the chemical bonding when the incident ions cut the polymer chains, breaks covalent bonds, promotes cross-linking, and liberates certain volatile species. We studied the relation among the linear energy transfer (LET) and changes of surface microstructure and surface resistivity on PPS material using the high current ion implantation technology The surface resistivity of nitrogen implanted PPS decreased to $10^{7}{\Omega}/cm^{2}$ due to the chain scission, cross linking, ${\pi}$ electron creation and mobility increase. In this case, the surface conductivity depend on the 1-dimensional hopping mechanism.

We investigated the cycling behavior of $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ electrode in a cross-linked gel polymer electrolyte based on non-flammable ionic liquid consisting of 1-butyl-1-methylpyrrolidinium bis(trifluoromethanesulfonyl) imide and vinylene carbonate. The $Li_4Ti_5O_{12}$ electrodes in ionic liquid-based gel polymer electrolytes exhibited reversible cycling behavior with good capacity retention. Cycling data and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy analyses revealed that the optimum content of the cross-linking agent necessary to ensure both acceptable initial discharge capacity and good capacity retention was about 8 wt %.

소재로 제조된 다공성 지지체의 기계적 물성 향상을 위해서 사용되는 가교제는 세포독성으로 인해 지지체의 생체적합성을 저하시킨다. 본 연구에서 키토산, 알지네이트 및 젤라틴으로 제조된 다공성 지지체는 가교제를 사용하지 않고 열처리에 의해 가교시키고, 가교된 다공성 지지체의 물성을 조사하였다. FT-IR분광분석을 통해 열처리된 다공성 지지체의 가교는 고분자 쇄간의 아미드 또는 에스테르 결합에 의해 형성되었음을 확인하였다. 열처리 다공성 지지체는 100~200m크기의 연결된 공극 구조를 형성하였고, 가교제 처리 다공성 지지체에 비해 수분 흡수력은 2배 이상 향상되었다. 열처리 다공성 지지체의 인장강도는 가교하지 않은 다공성 지지체에 비해 130% 이상 향상되었고, 최대 신장률은 가교처리 다공성 지지체보다 11.3% 향상되었다. 따라서 열처리로 물성을 증가시킨 천연고분자 소재의 다공성 지지체는 생체적합성이 우수한 조직공학용 지지체로서 유용하다.

Polypropylene(PP)을 지지막으로 하여 in-situ 가교결합(cross-linking)방식을 이용한 pore-filled 이온교환막을 제조하였다. 다공성 PP막의 기공에 poly(vinylbenzyl chloride)(PVBCI)과 piperazine(PIP), 또는 1,4-diaminobicyclo [2,2,2]octane(DABCO)을 dimethylforamid(DMF)에 녹인 용액을 채워서 겔화시킨 후, 남아있는 chloromethyl 그룹에 trimethylamine을 이용하여 양이온인 암모니움 site를 형성시키면 pore-filled 음이온교환막이 형성된다. 이와 같은 2단계의 제조방식으로 제조된 pore-filled 분리막은 크기의 변화가 없이 안정되며, PVBCI의 농도와 가교제의 농도로써 고분자-겔의 함량(mass gain, MG)과 가교도가 간단하게 조절되는 것을 보여주었다. 특히 아주 낮은 압력(100 kPa)에서의 높은 수투과도(7.9kg/$m^2$hr, 지지막은 PP3, 73%의 MG, 10%의 가교도, PIP 가교제사용)는 연수용 분리막으로 충분히 활용될 수 있음을 보여준다.

Chitosan (CS) and hydroxypropylmethyl cellulose (HPMC) blend microspheres were prepared by water-in-oil emulsion technique and were loaded with an anti-cancer drug 5-fluorouracil (5-FU). CS-HPMC microspheres were characterized by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy to confirm the cross-linking reaction. Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) was also used to assess the surface morphology of particles prepared. The quantity of release of 5-FU from the microspheres have been studied in terms of blend composition and amount of cross-linking agent. Differential scanning calorimetry and X-ray diffraction techniques indicated a uniform distribution of 5-FU particles in microspheres, whereas SEM suggested the spherical structure of the microspheres with slight rough surface. The in vitro drug release indicated that the particle size and release kinetics depend upon blend composition, amount of cross-linking agent used and amount of 5-FU present in the microspheres.

A polymer electrolyte was prepared by using polyvinylidenefluoride-co-hexafluoropropylene (PVdF-HFP) or poly(ethylene glycol) dimethacrylate (PEGDMA) as polymer matrices, succinonitrile as an additive, and lithium perchlorate as a lithium salt. Compared to the polymer electrolyte employing PVdF-HFP, the PEGDMA-based polymer electrolyte exhibits substantially superior thermal stability when exposed to high temperatures. Nonetheless, the ionic conductivity of the PEGDMA-based polymer electrolyte was preserved in a wide temperature range between $-20^{\circ}C$ and $80^{\circ}C$.

There are many efforts to improving the power conversion efficiencies (PCEs) of dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs). Although DSCs have a low production cost, their low PCE and low thermal stability have limited commercial applications. This study describes the preparation of a novel multifunctional polymer gel electrolyte in which a cross-linking polymerization reaction is used to encapsulate $TiO_2$ nanoparticles toward improving the power conversion efficiency and long-term stability of a quasi-solid state DSC. A series of liquid junction dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) was fabricated based on polymer membrane encapsulated dye-sensitized $TiO_2$ nanoparticles, prepared using a surface-induced cross-linking polymerization reaction, to investigate the dependence of the solar cell performance on the encapsulating membrane layer thickness. The ion conductivity decreased as the membrane thickness increased; however, the long term-stability of the devices improved with increasing membrane thickness. Nanoparticles encapsulated in a thick membrane (ca. 37 nm), obtained using a 90 min polymerization time, exhibited excellent pore filling among $TiO_2$ particles. This nanoparticle layer was used to fabricate a thin-layered, quasi-solid state DSC. The thick membrane prevented short-circuit paths from forming between the counter and the $TiO_2$ electrode, thereby reducing the minimum necessary electrode separation distance. The quasi-solid state DSC yielded a high power conversion efficiency (7.6/8.1%) and excellent stability during heating at $65^{\circ}C$ over 30 days. These performance characteristics were superior to those obtained from a conventional DSC (7.5/3.5%) prepared using a $TiO_2$ active layer with the same thickness. The reduced electrode separation distance shortened the charge transport pathways, which compensated for the reduced ion conductivity in the polymer gel electrolyte. Excellent pore filling on the $TiO_2$ particles minimized the exposure of the dye to the liquid and reduced dye detachment.
