디올 또는 다가 알콜의 존재 하에서 DL-락트산 및 L-락티드를 연속 중합하여 선형 (ABA 형)과 스타형 ((AB)$_{n}$ 형)의 폴리락트산 입체블록 공중합체를 합성하고 분석하였다. 알콜의 함량에 따라 블록 공중합체의 분자량을 어느 정도 범위에서 조절할 수 있었으며, 합성된 중합체는 비교적 좁은 분자량 분포를 나타내었다. 폴리락트산 입체블록 공중합체의 유리전이온도는 5$0^{\circ}C$ 부근이었으며, 융점은 구조와 분자량에 따라 100~14$0^{\circ}C$ 범위에서 관찰되었다. 용융 엔탈피로부터 얻은 결정화도의 측정 결과로부터 블록구조를 갖는 공중합체는 D-입체이성질체 단량체의 높은 조성(~35%)에서도 결정화가 충분히 일어남을 확인하였는데 이는 유사한 조성의 랜덤 공중합체의 성질과 대비된다. 선형과 스타형 블록 공중합체의 경우 모두 열처리 온도와 시간에 따른 결정화도의 변화를 관찰하였다.다.

환경적 관점에서 고분자필름이나 코팅제 산업계에서 이산화탄소와 휘발성 유기화합물의 저감은 가장 중요한 이슈 중의 하나이다. 광경화 시스템은 용제를 사용치 않아 휘발성 유기화합물의 방출을 최소화 할 수 있고 빠른 경화로 인한 에너지 소모가 적은 잇점이 있다. 또한, 생분해성 고분자는 거대한 폐플라스틱의 발생을 고려하면 환경적으로 경제적으로 많은 관심을 받고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 생분해성 고분자인 폴리락타이드 다이올과 폴리에틸렌 글리콜을 폴리올로하여 광경화형 폴리우레탄 아크릴레이트를 합성하였고 자외선에 의해 말단의 아크릴레이트 그룹의 경화반응을 진행하였다. 경화된 필름의 인장강도, 파단율 및 Tg는 폴리락타이드 다이올의 함량 증가와 더불어 증가하였고 친수특성과 열정안정성은 폴리에틸렌 글리콜 함량과 비례하였다. 따라서 친환경적인 폴리올의 함량 조절로 광경화 폴리우레탄 아크릴레이트의 물성이 조절 가능하였다.

본 연구에서는 polylactide(PLA) 중합 촉매로 알루미늄계 유기금속화합물인 triethylaluminium(TEAL)을 이용하여 실리카에 담지하고 이를 이용하여 L-lactide 벌크중합을 진행하였다. TEAL을 실리카에 담지하기 위해 촉매 투입량, 담지시간, 담지온도를 변화시켜 촉매를 합성하고 이를 이용하여 생성된 PLA의 중합특성을 확인하였다. 담지된 촉매 투입량이 증가할수록 전환율이 높고 촉매 투입량이 8 mmol/g-silica일 경우에 가장 높은 분자량을 보였다. 담지시간을 변화시켜 합성된 담지촉매를 이용하여 중합한 결과 담지시간이 증가할수록 전환율 및 분자량이 증가하였다. 담지온도를 변화시켜 촉매를 합성하기 위해 용매로 hexane과 toluene을 사용하였다. 담지온도를 변화시켜 합성된 촉매로 L-lactide 중합한 결과, hexane을 용매로 사용하고 담지온도가 $50^{\circ}C$일 경우에 전환율 및 분자량이 높았다.

Additive manufacturing (AM) or three-dimensional (3D) printing of metals has been drawing significant attention due to its reliability, usefulness, and low cost with rapid prototyping. Among the various AM technologies, fused deposition modeling (FDM) or fused filament fabrication is receiving much interest because of its simple manufacturing processing, low material waste, and cost-effective equipment. FDM technology uses metal-filled polymer filaments for 3D printing, followed by debinding and sintering to fabricate complex metal parts. An efficient binder is essential for producing polymer filaments and the thermal post-processing of printed objects. This study involved an in-depth investigation of and a fabrication route for a novel multi-component binder system with steel alloy powder (45 vol.%) ranging from filament fabrication and 3D printing to debinding and sintering. The binder system consisted of polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP) as a binder and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and polylactic acid (PLA) as a carrier. The PVP binder held the metal components tightly by maintaining their stoichiometry, and the TPU and PLA in the ratio of 9:1 provided flexibility, stiffness, and strength to the filament for 3D printing. The efficacy of the binder system was examined by fabricating 3D-printed cubic structures. The results revealed that the thermal debinding and sintering processes effectively removed the binder/carrier from the cubic structures, resulting in isotropic shrinkage of approximately 15.8% in all directions. The scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX) patterns displayed the microstructure behavior, phase transition, and elemental composition of the 3D cubic structure.

Lactic acid is an important product arising from the anaerobic fermentation by lactic acid bacteria (LAB). It is used in the pharmaceutical, cosmetic, chemical, and food industries as well as for biodegradable polymer and green solvent production. The poly lactic acid (PLA) is an important material for bio-plastic manufacturing process. For PLA production by new LAB, we screened LAB isolates from shellfish. A total of 28 LAB were isolated from various shellfishes. They were all Gram positive, oxidase and catalase negative. Based on API 50CHL kit, 7 strains among the 28 isolates were identified as Lactobacillus plantarum, 6 strains as Lactobacillus delbrueckii, 5 strains as Leuconostoc mesenteroides, 3 strains as Lactobacillus brevis, 2 strains as Lactococcus lactis, 1 strain as Lactobacillus salivarius, 1 strain as Lactobacillus paracasei, 1 strain as Lactobacillus pentosus, 1 strain as Lactobacillus fermentum and 1 strain as Pediococcus pentosaceu. Also, we examined the amount of total lactic acid produced by these new strains by HPLC analysis with Chiralpak MA column. One strain E-3 from Mytilus edulis was indentified as Lactobacillus plantarum and found to produce 20.0 g/L of D-form lactic acid from 20 g/L of dextrose. Further studies are underway to increase the D-lactic acid production by E-3.

This study applies various surface patterns to minimize material loss in construction equipment that is subject to severe wear due to sand, such as the wear-resistant steel plates of dump trucks or the teeth of excavators. The relationship between surface morphology and wear behavior is investigated using PLA+ polymer to observe the effect of the surface pattern. Five types of samples - smooth, concave, convex, wavy concave, and wavy convex designs - are created using a 3D printer. A wear experiment is conducted for a duration of 3 h using 6.5 kg of abrasive particles. The mass loss of the samples after the experiment is measured to assess the extent of wear. Additionally, the surface morphology of the samples before and after the experiment is analyzed using SEM and confocal microscopy. The study results reveal that the smooth design exhibits the highest wear loss, whereas the concave and wavy concave designs show relatively lower wear loss. The convex and wavy convex designs exhibit varying contact areas with the abrasive particles depending on the surface pattern, resulting in different levels of wear. Furthermore, a comparison between the experimental results and DEM simulations confirms the observed wear trends. This study reveals the relationship between wear damage according to surface pattern shape and is expected to be of substantial help in the analysis of wear and tear on agricultural and heavy equipment.

Lactic acid and its derivatives are widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetic industries. It is also a major raw material for the production of poly-lactic acid (PLA), a biodegradable and environmentally friendly polymer and a possible alternative to synthetic plastics derived from petroleum. For PLA production by new strains of lactic acid bacteria (LAB), we screened LAB isolates from shellfish. A total of 51 LAB were isolated from 7 types of shellfishes. Lactic acid production of individual isolates was examined using high-performance liquid chromatography using a Chiralpak MA column and an ultraviolet detector. Lactobacillus plantarum T-3 was selected as the most stress-resistant strain, with minimal inhibition concentrations of 1.2 M NaCl, 15% ethanol, and 0.0020% hydrogen peroxide. In a 1 L fermentation experiment, $\small{D}$-lactic acid production of 19.91 g/L fermentation broth was achieved after 9 h cultivation, whereas the maximum production of total lactic acid was 41.37 g/L at 24 h.

Stearic acid (SA), polyethylene glycol (PEG), and malic acid (MA) have been used to modify the surface of waste gypsum to develop corresponding poly (butylene adipate-co-terephthalate) (PBAT) composites. According to the mechanical properties, MA-treated gypsum (MA-gypsum) showed the best performance, whereas SA-gypsum showed the worst performance. In contrast to SA and PEG (having -COOH and -OH as polar functional groups, respectively), the presence of both -OH and -COOH in MA is responsible for the superior surface treatment of gypsum and its better dispersion in the polymer matrix (as revealed by FE-SEM analyses). The presence of long aliphatic chain in SA is supposed to inhibit the dispersion of SA-gypsum. Further, the performance of MA-gypsum/PBAT was enhanced by adding polylactic acid (PLA). The maximum optimized contents of MA-gypsum and PLA are 20 and 7.5 wt% for developing a high-performance PBAT composite.

A 3D printed metal part and thermal plastic polymer part were joined by direct laser irradiation. The 3D metal part was fabricated by using DED(Direct Energy Deposition) with STS316 material. The experiment was carried out through no patterned metal surface, 3D metal printed surface and micro laser patterned surface. The most secure joining quality was obtained at the laser micro patterned surface specimen and the counterparts of polymers were PLA and PE based thermo plastics. The applied laser power was 350Watt and the distance of patterns was maintained at $150{\mu}m$. The laser line width was optimized at $450{\mu}m$ and the laser micro pattern depth was $180{\mu}m$ for the best joining quality. Based on the result analysis, the possibility of laser material joining for metal to polymer was proposed and multi-material joining will be possible in 3D laser direct material fabrication.
