두 개의 프로모터 (trc와 Pp)를 Alcaligenes eutrophus에서 유래된 PHA 오페론에 삽입하여 재조합 대장균에서 분자량이 큰 polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB)를 얻고자 하였다. 두 개의 프로모터는 hydroxybutyric CoA와 PHA 중합반응의 유전자 발현을 각각 독립적으로 제어하기 위해 설계된 것이다 새로운 합성오페론을 포함한 플라즈미드는 E. coli DH5 $\alpha$ 에 transformation 되어 PHB 생산에 이용되었다. 본 실험의 가설로서 PHA 합성오페론의 IPTG에 의한 유도가 없을 경우 낮은 pHA synthase의 활성이 고분자 중합반응의 개시제 농도를 줄여주어 결과적으로 높은 연결수의 고분자를 생성할 것이라는 모델을 세웠다. 실제로 IPTG의 공급이 없는 발효실험을 통해 평균분자량이 $2.5{\times}10^7$ 인 거대 고분자를 얻을 수 있었다. PHA 생합성에 관여는 효소의 활성 분석으로 3-hydroxybutyric CoA의 중합을 촉매하는 효소인 PHA synthase의 활성을 가지고 In vivo에서 분자량이 제어됨을 확인하였다.

This study was carried out to compare the efficacy of sodium carboxymethyl cellulose (SCMC) with the combination of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and SCMC for the prevention of postoperative adhesions in the dog. After laparotomy, abrasions were made on the surface of ileal serosa in 17 dogs. The animals were randomly divided into the control group (N = 5) which received no treatment, the SCMC-treated group (N = 6), and the SCMC ＆ LMWH-treated group (N = 6). Hematologic values were monitored before laparotomy and 1, 4, 7, 10 and 14 days after laparotomy. The location and score of adhesion were assessed at second laparotomy 3 weeks later, Although the mean adhesion score both in the SCMC-treated group (7.17${\pm}$1.17) and in the SCMC & LMWH-treated group (4.50${\pm}$1.38) was found to be significantly lower than that in the control group (9.40${\pm}$0.89) (p<0.01 and p＜0.01, respectively), more favorable adhesion prevention was achieved in the SCMC ＆ LMWH-treated group in comparison with the SCMC-treated group without any hemor-rhagic complications (p<0.01). This study could conclude that SCMC ＆ LMWH are highly effective in prevention against postoperative adhesion in the dog.

The various molecular weight (MW) regenerated silk fibroins were prepared with different dissolution condition and the effect of MW on the gelation behavior of regenerated aqueous silk fibroin (SF) solution was investigated. The result of gelation time measurement indicated that the gelation of SF aqueous solution was accelerated by the increase of MW and SF concentration. When formic acid was added in SF aqueous solution, the gelation time of SFL and SFC30 aqueous solution showed a significant decreaseat 0.03% formic acid addition. In case of the lowest MW sample, SFC180, SF molecules became aggregated and precipitated without gelation after 28 days storage time. These findings indicate that MW control of SF can be utilized to control the gelation time of SF aqueous solution.

This study was carried out to compare the efficacy of carboxymethyl chitosan fabric (CMCF) with that of the combination of low molecular weight heparin (LMWH) and CMCF for the prevention of postoperative adhesions in the rat. Adhesions were induced by suturing both the ileal serosa and peritoneum scraped until petechial bleeding occurred. CMCF were sutured between two surfaces, and LMWH were instilled intraperitoneally immediately before closure of the peritoneomuscular layer. The adhesions were blindly assessed 2 weeks later by using a tensiometer. The mean tensile strength(Newton) of formed adhesions was $2.59{\pm}0.85$ in control group, $2.10{\pm}0.75$ in the CMCF group and $1.53{\pm}0.44$ in the CMCF+LMWH group. The most favorable prevention against adhesion was achieved in the CMCF+LMWH group. Therefore, we could conclude that CMCF+LMWH were effective in prevention against postoperative adhesion in the rat.

말단캡핑제(end capping agent) 6종류에 대해 폴리카보네이트를 용융중합법으로 제조하였다. 합성된 폴리카보네이트의 화학구조는 FT-IR 스펙트럼을 이용하여 확인하였다. 평균분자량 및 분자량분포도, 유리전이 온도 및 열분해 온도는 GPC, DSC와 TGA를 이용하여 측정하였다. 말단캡핑제의 화학구조에 따라 평균분자량이 증가 또는 감소를 나타내었으며, 말단캡핑제로 4-tert-butylphenol (TBP)이 사용되었을 때 최적의 분자량 조절 결과를 나타내었다. 말단캡핑제의 함량이 증가할수록 평균분자량은 감소하였고, 4-tert-butylphenol이 0.05 - 0.1 mol%가 첨가될 때 폴리카보네이트의 대형 사출물 가공에 적합한 20,000 - 30,000 정도의 수평균분자량을 나타내었다. 폴리카보네이트의 용융점도와 유리전이온도는 분자량이 감소할수록 감소하였다. 말단캡핑제의 투입방법 변경은 PC의 분자량분포도에 영향을 주었고, power law index의 감소를 보여주었다.

Model predictive control algorithm requires a relevant model of the system to be controlled. Unfortunately, the first principle model describing a polymerization reaction system has a large number of parameters to be estimated. Thus there is a need for the identification and control of a polymerization reactor system by using available input-output data. In this work, the polynomial auto-regressive moving average (ARMA) models are employed as the input-output model and combined into the nonlinear model predictive control algorithm based on the successive linearization method. Simulations are conducted to identify the continuous styrene polymerization reactor system. The input variables are the jacket inlet temperature and the feed flow rate whereas the output variables are the monomer conversion and the weight-average molecular weight. The polynomial ARMA models obtained by the system identification are used to control the monomer conversion and the weight-average molecular weight in a continuous styrene polymerization reactor It is demonstrated that the nonlinear model predictive controller based on the polynomial ARMA model tracks the step changes in the setpoint satisfactorily. In conclusion, the polynomial ARMA model is proven effective in controlling the continuous styrene polymerization reactor.

A method to determine an optimal temperature trajectory that guarantees polymer products having controlled molecular weight distribution and desired values of molecular weight is presented. The coordinate transformation method and the optimal control theory are applied to a batch PMMA polymerization system to calculate the optimal temperature trajectory. Coordinate transformation method converts the original fixed-end-point, free-end-time problem to a free-end-point, fixed-end-time problem. The idea is that by making the reactor temperature track the optimal temperature trajectory one may be able to produce polymer products having the prespecified physical property in a minimum time. The on-line control experiments with the PID control algorithm have been conducted to establish the validity of the scheme proposed in this study. The experimental results show that prespecified polymer product could be obtained with tracking the calculated optimal temperature trajectory.

A. pullulan ATCC 42023를 사용하여 고분자량의 pullulan을 대량생산하기 위한 연구로써, 탄소원의 농도, 용존산소량과 pH가 균체 성장 및 pullulan 생산에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. Glucose의 당 농도에 따른 실험결과에서 glucose 농도가 0.3M (54g/1)일 때 최대의 pullulan 생산률을 나타내었고, 0.3M (54g/1)이상에서는 productivity가 급격하게 감소하는 기질 저해현상을 나타내었다. 삼각플라스크를 이용한 초기 pH의 영향에 대한 실험결과, 초기 pH 6.5는 $11.98g/{\ell}$의 pullulan을 생산하였고, pH 4.5로 일정하게 조절한 결과, pullulan 생산은 $13.31g/{\ell}$의 최대값을 나타내었다. 그러나 균체성장은 pH 6.5에서 가장 높았다. 그리고 용존산소량의 증가로 pullulan productivity를 증가시킬 수 있었다. 또한 산업적으로 유용한 고분자량의 pullulan을 생산하기 위한 탄소원으로 아미노당인 glucosamine을 사용하여 pullulan의 생성 및 분자구조 변형에 대하여 실험하였다. 탄소원 농도 50g/1 기준에서, glucose와 glucosamine을 40 : 60의 비율로 혼합하여 공급 하였을 때 분자량 20만 이상의 mediun size 및 200만 이상의 high molecular weight의 productivity가 가장 높았으며, A. pullulans의 specific growth rate도 가장 높았다.

Response Surface Methodology was applied for optimizing the processing parameters of ultrasound treatment in order to produce low-molecular alginate. The use of ultrasound significantly reduced viscosity of alginate solutions. Suggested parameters of ultrasound treatment for maximum reduction of alginate molecular weight were: specific intensity, 115.81 $W/cm^2$ at 20kHz frequency; treatment time, 35.55 min; temperature, $20.08^{\circ}C$; alginate concentration, $2.5\%$. Low-molecular alginate obtained by ultrasound had two peaks on Sepharose CL-6B gel filtration. The viscosities of control, fraction I, and fraction II at $0.1\%$ concentration and $25^{\circ}C$ were 3.07, 1.23, and 0.82cps, respectively. Molecular weights of control, fraction I, and fraction II alginates were 336,500, 70,400, and 52,800 daltons, and their solubilities were 3, 6, and $14\%$, respectively. The lower molecular weight of alginate, the lower the alcohol precipitation and the higher $Ca^{2+}$ ion binding capacities. Heavy metal ion binding capacities of alginates were high in the following order of Pb, Cd, Zn, and Co.
