Abstract

The aim of this work is the fabrication of polyelectrolyte microcapsules composed of biocompatible polymers such as chitosan, heparin and alginate, to encapsulate the fluorescein isothiocyanate(FITC)-albumin, and to investigate the protein release behavior therefrom. Polyelectrolyte capsules with 4-layer structures could be prepared with biocompatible materials by oppositely charged adsorption using melamin-foramide as a template. Transmission electron microscope(TEM), scanning electron microscope(SEM) and optical microscope confirmed hollow capsule structures. Protein release before and after encapsulation was monitored with a UV-Vis spectrometer. Microcapsules have different behaviors depending on the kind of polyelectrolyte polymers, chitosan-heparin capsules or chitosan-alginate capsules. In conclusion, the polyelectrolyte multilayer shells can be switched between an open and closed state by means of tuning the pH value.

본 논문에서는 생체적합성 고분자들의 자기 조립 특성을 이용하여 마이크론 단위의 캡슐을 제조하여, 캡슐 내부에 단백질을 넣고 시간과 pH에 따른 방출 거동을 고찰하였다. 본 연구에서는 키토산과 헤파린 그리고 알지네이트를 사용하여 동공(hollow) 캡슐을 제조하였다. 멜라민과 포름알데히드를 일정 비율로 혼합하여, 표면에 전하를 가지는 마이크론 단위의 core를 제조한 후, 음전하를 가지는 헤파린 혹은 알지네이트를 core 위에 흡착시키고, 양전하를 띠는 키토산을 흡착시킨 후, core 위에 교대로 흡착시켜 Multilayer를 형성시켰다. 4 층을 쌓은 후에 HCl을 이용하여 pH 2로 조절하면, core는 제거되고 속이 비어 있는 캡슐을 제조할 수 있었다. 동공 캡슐은 투과전자현미경, 표면주사현미경 및 광학현미경으로 관찰하였다. 이러한 캡슐은 pH에 따라서 각기 다른 거동을 보이는데, 본 연구에서는 내부에 FITC-albumin을 넣어 UV분광기로 방출되는 상대적인 양을 관찰한 결과, 키토산-헤파린 캡슐과 키토산-알지네이트 캡슐은 각기 다른 pH에서 개폐됨을 알 수 있었다.
