Monodispersed carbon nanospheres (CNSs) were fabricated by a novel method and their structural properties were investigated. CNSs were prepared by the pyrolysis of nanospherical polystyrenes (PS). With the coating of $SiO_2$ shell, PS particles were effectively separated during pyrolysis process which resulted to CNSs with an average diameter of 40 nm. Moreover, CNSs could be crosslinked with each other through the bondings between the functional groups on their surfaces. Morphology of the fabricated carbon spheres and their crosslinked form were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FESEM), transmission electron microscopy (TEM), and fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR).

Purpose: Non-crosslinked and crosslinked collagen membranes are known to exhibit distinct degradation characteristics, resulting in contrasting orientations of the adjacent tissues and different biological processes. The aim of this study was to conduct a histomorphometric assessment of non-crosslinked and crosslinked collagen membranes regarding neovascularization, tissue integration, tissue encapsulation, and biodegradation. Methods: Guided bone regeneration was performed using either a non-crosslinked (BG) or a crosslinked collagen membrane (CM) in 15 beagle dogs, which were euthanized at 4, 8, and 16 weeks (n=5 each) for histomorphometric analysis. The samples were assessed regarding neovascularization, tissue integration, encapsulation, the remaining membrane area, and pseudoperiosteum formation. The BG and CM groups were compared at different time periods using nonparametric statistical methods. Results: The remaining membrane area of CM was significantly greater than that of BG at 16 weeks; however, there were no significant differences at 4 and 8 weeks. Conversely, the neovascularization score for CM was significantly less than that for BG at 16 weeks. BG exhibited significantly greater tissue integration and encapsulation scores than CM at all time periods, apart from encapsulation at 16 weeks. Pseudoperiosteum formation was observed in the BG group at 16 weeks. Conclusions: Although BG membranes were more rapidly biodegraded than CM membranes, they were gradually replaced by connective tissue with complete integration and maturation of the surrounding tissues to form dense periosteum-like connective tissue. Further studies need to be performed to validate the barrier effect of the pseudoperiosteum.

Poloxamer, block copolymers of ethylene oxide and propylene oxide was crosslinked by diisocyanates and triisocyanates to form water-swellable, physically strong, rubber-like elastic, high biocompatible polyurethanes. The isocyanate-hydroxyl stoichiometry was kept 1:1, but the crosslinking density was varied. The variations examined were the ratio of diisocyanate and triisocyanate. The delivery of two drugs of different water solubilities from hydrogel matrices was studied. It appeared that the drug nature greatly influenced its release kinetics possibly due to drug-polymer interactions. The release profiles, however, could be modified to a great extent by adjusting the polymer network structure Generally the high crosslinking density was required for prolonged drug delivery.

Retaining a drug in the stomach by some means is sometimes necessary to extend the G1 absorption time of the drug more than 6-8 hrs. Hydrogel has often been examined for its feasibility as a dosage form, so called platform, that could be retained in the stomach due to its excellent swelling properties in the gastric fluid. In this study, polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP) hydrogel crosslinked by albumin or acrylated albumin was synthesized in a tablet form and evaluated for its possibility as the platform. The synthesis of the hydrogel was performed by $^{60}Co\;{\gamma}-ray$ irradiation of N-vinyl-2-pyrrolidone (monomer) in the presence of a crosslinking agent: aqueous solution of albumin or acrylated albumin. Synthetic conditions such as radiation dose, dose rate and concentration of crosslinking agent were varied in order to optimize the swelling and mechanical properties of the hydrogels. Degree of swelling of albumin-crosslinked PVP (Al-PVP) was highly dependent on radiation dose, dose rate and albumin concentration: it was decreased as they increased. On the other hand, that of acrylated albumin-crosslinked PVP (Acryl-PVP) was almost independent on them except dose rate: it was decreased as the radiation dose rate increased. The compressive strength of the two hydrogels was decreased as the dose rate increased. Digestion of both PVP in artificial gastric fluid containing pepsin was delayed by the ${\gamma}-ray$ irradiation. In conclusion, Al-PVP and Acry-PVP with diverse swelling and mechanical properties could be obtained by controlling synthetic conditions, mainly the irradiation dose rate.

A comb-like copolymer consisting of a poly(vinylidene fluoride-co-chlorotrifluoro-ethylene) backbone and poly(hydroxy ethyl acrylate) side chains, i.e. P(VDF-co-CTFE)-g-PHEA, was synthesized through atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP) using CTFE units as a macroinitiator. Successful synthesis and a microphase-separated structure of the copolymer were confirmed by proton nuclear magnetic resonance (1H-NMR), FT-IR spectroscopy, and transmission electron microscopy (TEM). This comb-like polymer was crosslinked with 4,5-imidazole dicarboxylic acid (IDA) via the esterification of the -OH groups of PHEA and the -COOH groups of IDA. Upon doping with phosphoric acid ($H_3PO_4$) to form imidazole-$H_3PO_4$ complexes, the proton conductivity of the membranes continuously increased with increasing $H_3PO_4$ content. A maximum proton conductivity of 0.015 S/cm was achieved at $120^{\circ}C$ under anhydrous conditions. In addition, these P(VDF-co-CTFE)-g-PHEA/IDA/$H_3PO_4$ membranes exhibited good mechanical properties (765 MPa of Young's modulus), and high thermal stability up to $250^{\circ}C$, as determined by a universal testing machine (UTM) and thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA), respectively.

Poly(phenylene sulfide) films containing acetophenone as a photoinitiator were photocrosslinked under UV irradiation using a continuous UV irradiator. The gel fraction of the irradiated PPS in 1-Chloro naphthalene reached 94.7% with increasing UV energy and the photoinitiator concentration in the film upto $200J/cm^2$ and 12wt% respectively. Solid state $^1C$ NMR analysis suggested that the crosslinking occurred between the phenylene chains in PPS, indicating that the acetophenone may the phenylene hydrogens and subsequently adjacent polymer radicals could be recombined to form the crosslinked structure. The crosslinking improved the thermal behavior of PPS such as loss of $T_g$ and $T_c$, higher melting point and lower melting enthalphy as well as significantly higher peak pyrolysis temperature as much as $63.5^{\circ}C$. Surprisingly the tensile toughness of the most crosslinked PPS increased by 842%, resulting from the substantial enhancements in tensile modulus, strength and strain as much as 76%, 236% and 240% respectively. Also dynamic mechanical measurement indicated that the distance between crosslinks in the crosslinked PPS reached 85.3 g/mol corresponing to a crosslink density of 0.012 mol/g.

Hydroxypropyl cellulose (HPC)를 이용하여 제조한 메탄올의 유방성 용액에 두 종류의 aliphatic dicarboxylic acid chlorides (succinyl chloride 와 suberoyl chloride)를 첨가하여 주형시킴에 의해 cholesteric 질서를 지닌 가교필름들을 제조하였다. 가교필름의 cholesteric pitch의 온도의존성과 물과 메탄올중에서의 가교필름의 팽윤거동을 검토하였다. 필름들은 cholesteric 액정상의 특징적인 지문조직을 나타내었으며 이들의 pitch는 HPC 자체와 동일하게 온도가 상승함에 따라 증가하였다. 그러나 모든 가교시료들은 주어진 온도하에서 HPC가 나타내는 pitch에 비해 대단히 크며 가교제의 농도 및 길이의 증가에 의해 증가하였다. 가교시료들은 두 용매중에서 이방성 팽윤을 나타냈다. 이방성 팽윤의 정도는 용매와 가교제의 종류에 다소 의존하나 검토된 가교제의 농도에는 거의 의존하지 않았다.

Polyethylene glycol, polypropylene glycol and block copolymer of ethylene glycol and propylene glycol were crosslinked by triisocyanate to form water swellable, rubbery polymer. The equilibrium swelling of the hydrogels ranged from 3% to 60% according to the hydrophobic-hydrophilic properties of the prepolymers. Model drugs, sodium salicylate and prednisolone were incorporated in the polymer matrices by swelling loading. Physical properties of the drugs affected the drug release mechanisms due to the change in the swelling behaviors of the polymeric devices. Zero order release was observed in the case of relatively hydrophobic polymer matrices.

Polyacrylic acid를 NaOH와 $NH_4OH$로 중화시켜 중화도가 다른 polyelectrolyte를 만든 후, 수용액 상에서 ethylene glycol diglycidyl ether(EGDE)로 가교시켜 안정한 상태의 젤을 얻었다. 안정한 젤이 얻어지는 가장 작은 polyelectrolyte의 농도인 $C_{gel}$은 polyelectrolyte의 extended from에도 불구하고 비슷한 분자량의 중성 고분자의 간과 비슷하였다. 전해질 고분자에 대한 scaling이론에 의하면 semi-dilute영역에서의 전해질 고분자용액은 분자량 의존성이 없어야 함에도 불구하고 gelation결과는 중성 고분자와 흡사한 분자량 의존성을 보이며 entanglement 농도인 $C^{**}$와 비교했을 때에도 $C_{gel}$은 훨씬 큰 값을 갖는다. 이는 고분자 전해질의 농도가 진해질수록 용액의 이온세기가 증가하여 extended from에서 coil form으로 변화되기 때문으로 보인다. 고분자 전해질의 중화도에 따른 gelation은 100% 중화된 시료의 $C_{gel}$값과 분자량 의존성에 있어 거의 비슷한 경향을 보이며 이는 고분자 전해질의 conformation변화가 이온세기에 상당히 민감함을 보여 준다. 고분자 전해질 수용액에 추가로 저분자량의 염을 가하면 고분자의 용액 속에서의 크기가 더욱 축소하여 더 큰 $C_{gel}$값을 보인다.
