Di-tyrosine photo-crosslinking of silk fibroin (SF) is recently highlighted as a biocompatible hydrogel fabrication process, because this method does not need potentially harmful chemical species. However, the resulting crosslinking density is often insufficient to obtain a mechanically stiff hydrogel unless additional oxygen is provided during the reaction. In this study, we proposed a combinational crosslinking method to form an SF hydrogel via the di-tyrosine photo-crosslinking with riboflavin (photoinitiator) and physical interaction of SF chains. In the UV light-irradiated SF solution, small particles formed and these particles promoted β-sheet formation of SF molecules, resulting in quick gelation. The di-tyrosine photo-crosslinking produced nuclei that might trigger regular assembly of SF molecules in high temperature condition. Conclusively, this process would contribute to a development of biocompatible hydrogel fabrication for biomedical uses of SF hydrogels.

We introduce a novel and efficient strategy for producing free-standing functional films via photo-crosslinking and electrostatic layer-by-layer (LbL) assembly, which can allow the buildup of hydrophilic multilayers onto hydrophobic surfaces. Hydrophobic multilayers were deposited on ionic substrates by a photo-crosslinking LbL process using photo-crosslinkable polymers. The photo-crosslinked surface was converted to an anionic surface by excess UV light irradiation. This treatment allowed also the stable adhesion between metal electrode or cationic polyelectrolyte and hydrophobic multilayers. After dissolving the ionic substrates in water, the formed free-standing films exhibited unique functionalities of inserted components within hydrophobic and/or hydrophilic multilayers.

The photoacid generation efficiency of four N-hydroxyphthalimide sulfonate derivatives was studied by photo-crosslinking reaction of poly(glycidyl methacrylate) in solid film state. The relative photoacid generation efficiency was increased in the order of N-hydroxyphthalimide methanesulfonate > -toluenesulfonate > -nitrobenzenesulfonate > -dinitrobenzensulfonate, and the reaction was efficiently sensitized by benzophenone suggesting that this photoreactions is likely to proceed through its triplet excited state.

The copolymmers of N, N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate(DAEM) and N-arylmethacrylamide (AMA) were prepared, and their photochemical properties as a negative photoresist were studied by the measurements of insoluble fraction, and by UV and IR absorption spectral changes. These copolymers are soluble in DMF, actone, methanol, of acidic buffer solutions. Solubility of these copolymer films in the vuffer solutions increased with the amount of DAEM units in the copolymer and decreased with the pH value. The insoluble fraction of the copolymer films in the buffer solution of pH 4 of in methanol increased with irradiation time and the amount of AMA units in the copolymer. UV and IR spectral changes indicated that not only photo-crosslinking but also the photo-Fries rearrangement took place upon irradiation with a 254nm UV light.

A photo-crosslinked anion exchange membrane (AEM) based on quaternary-aminated polyacrylates was developed for reverse electrodialysis (RED). Although reverse electrodialysis is a clean and renewable energy generation system, the low power output and high membrane cost are serious obstacles to its commercialization. Cross-linked AEMs without any polymer supporters were fabricated through photo-crosslinking between polymer-typed acrylates with anion conducting groups, in particular, polymer-typed acrylates were synthesized based on engineering plastic with outstanding mechanical and chemical property. The fabricated membranes showed outstanding physical, chemical, and electrochemical properties. The area resistance of the fabricated membranes (CQAPPOA-20, CQAPPOA-35, and CQAPPOA-50) were ~50% lower than that of AMV (2.6 Ω cm²). Moreover, the transport number of CQAPPOA-35 wase comparable to that of AMV, despite the thin thickness (40 ㎛) of the fabricated membranes. The RED stack with the CQAPPOA-35 membrane provided an excellent maximum power density of 2.327 W m^-2 at a flow rate of 100 mL min^-1, which is 15% higher than that (2.026 W m^-2) of the RED stack with the AMV membrane. Considering easy fabrication process by UV photo-crosslinking and outstanding RED stack properties, the CQAPPOA-35 membrane is a promising candidate for REDs.

Purpose: The purpose of this study was to know the physical properties of UDMA dental composite resins containing two photosensitizers, PD, DA, as a photosensitizer instead of CQ. We want to know Remaining Double Bond(RDB) of UDMA unfilled resin and diametral tensile strength and flexural strength of composite resin containing PD and DA were compared with those of CQ, most widely used photosensitizer for dental composite resins. Methods: The RDB of UDMA studied by FT-IR spectroscopy increased with irradiation time. The composite resins were tested for their physical properties. The dental composite resins were made with UDMA as a monomer, silanized silica as filler, N,N-dimethylaminoethyl methacrylate (DAEM) as amine initiator, and one of the two kinds of new photosensitizers. Results: The relative RDB of UDMA was in the order: DA > CQ > PD but the physical properties of the composite resins show PD and DA with higher results compared with that containing CQ. The reason for the results is that PD and DA serve not only as a photosensitizer but also as a photo-crosslinking agent. Conclusion: PD and DA show as effective photosensizers, suitable for UDMA dental composite resin compare with a higher efficiency than CQ.

A photo-crosslinkable sericin hydrogel has been prepared by introducing methacrylate groups on sericin. Lysine was the amino acid for methacrylation and the degree of methacrylation was increased with the amount of methacrylic anhydride added. When the concentration of methacrylic anhydride was 20% of sericin, 0.635 mmol/g of methacrylate group could be introduced. The storage modulus of sericin hydrogel was increased proportionally with the degree of methacrylation. However, the swelling ratio of sericin hydrogel decreased with the increase of methacrylation.
