Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA)/poly($\beta$-hydroxynonanoate) (PHN) 블렌드의 흔화도와 결정화거동을 연구하기 위해 여러 중량 흔합비의 시료를 제조하였다. DSC, XRD 및 편광현미경을 이용하여 PLLA/PHN 블렌드의 열적 성질 및 특성을 연구하였다. PLLA와 PHN은 무정형 영역에서 부분적인 상용성을 가졌으며 PLLA의 결정화도는 PHN이 첨가됨으로 인하여 증가되었다. 그리고 PHN이 첨가됨으로써 PLLA의 T$_{g}$, T$_{c}$, T$_{m}$ 의 이동이 있었다. 편광현미경 분석을 통하여 PLLA 구정의 수는 PHN이 증가할수록 증가하는 것을 알 수 있었다. 이로부터 PHN은 PLLA에 대하여 기핵제의 역할이 있음이 관찰되었다.

조성비가 서로 다른 각종의 PLLA-POE-PLLA와 PDLA-POE-PDLA블록공중합체의 합성을 실시하여 모든 공중합체를 고수율이며 다분산도가 현저하게 작은 생성물을 얻었으며, 그 결과 체온 부근인 $37^{\circ}C$에서는 0.1 g/mL PLLA-POE-PLLA 분산액과 0.1 g/mL PDLA-POE-PDLA의 혼합분산액에서 겔의 형성이 관찰되었다. 또한 PLLA-POE-PLLA분산액과 비교하여 PLLA-POE-PLLA분산액과 PDLA-POE-PDLA분산액을 혼합한 분산액의 흐림점이 높아지는 것을 확인하였으며 고농도일수록 흐림점이 낮아지는 현상도 확인되었다.

용융방사에 의한 선형 폴리락트산(polylactic acid, PLLA) 섬유가공에 있어서 가공 시 PLLA에 가해진 열 이력이 섬유의 기계적 특성과 결정화도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. PLLA의 가공 시 가해진 열 이력에 의하여 PLLA의 분자량이 감소하며 이러한 분자량의 감소는 PLLA 섬유의 배향도 감소와 결정화도의 감소를 유발시킨다. 그 결과, PLLA 섬유의 인장강도와 탄성계수가 감소하며 신율이 증가됨을 확인할 수 있었다. PLLA의 용융방사에서 발현된 결정화는 PLLA의 느린 결정화 속도에 의하여 thermal induced crystallization보다는 stress induced crystallization에 기인함을 알 수 있었다. PLLA 섬유를 열처리하였을 경우, 상대적으로 분자량이 작고 열 이력을 받은 PLLA로 만들어진 섬유가 열 이력을 받지 않은 PLLA로 만들어진 섬유보다 결정화도가 높음을 확인하였다. 이로 보아 열처리에 의한 결정화도의 증가는 stress, Induced crystallization보다는 thermal induced crystallization에 기인함을 알 수 있었다.

The interactions between the surface of scaffolds and specific cells play an important role in tissue engineering applications. Some cell adhesive ligand peptides including Arg-Gly-Asp (RGD) have been grafted into polymeric scaffolds to improve specific cell attachment. In order to make cell adhesive scaffolds for tissue regeneration, biodegradable nonporous poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) films were prepared by using a solvent casting technique with chloroform. The hydrophobic PLLA films were surface-modified by Argon plasma treatment and in situ direct acrylic acid (AA) grafting to get hydrophilic PLLA-g-PAA. The obtained carboxylic groups of PLLA-g-PAA were coupled with the amine groups of Gly-Arg-Asp-Gly (GRDG, control) and GRGD as a ligand peptide to get PLLA-g-GRDG and PLLA-g-GRGD, respectively. The surface properties of the modified PLLA films were examined by various surface analyses. The surface structures of the PLLA films were confirmed by ATR-FTIR and ESCA, whereas the immobilized amounts of the ligand peptides were 138-145 pmol/$cm^2$. The PLLA surfaces were more hydrophilic after AA and/or RGD grafting but their surface morphologies showed still relatively smoothness. Fibroblast adhesion to the PLLA surfaces was improved in the order of PLLA control

PLLA분해활성을 가진 고온성세균을 우리나라 경작토로부터 분리하였다. 분리된 균주는 그람양성 간균으로 16S rDNA 염기서열분석 결과 Geobacillus caldoxylosilyticus로 동정되었으며, 현재까지 보고되지 않은 새로운 PLLA분해세균으로 밝혀졌다. 조절화된 퇴비화조건에서 멸균퇴비에 분리균주를 접종하고 $58^{\circ}C$에서 40일간 분해활성을 측정하였다. 이 균주는 중량평균 분자량이 5000, 11000, 34000 및 256000인 PLLA5000, PLLA11000, PLLA34000 및 PLLA256000를 각각 66%, 57%, 41%및 40%생분해하였다. PLLA256000을 기질로 하여 gelatin, yeast extract 및 ammonium sulfate를 0.1%씩 첨가하여 분해활성 변화를 조사한 결과 대조군에 비하여 분해활성이 각각 27%, 13% 및 10%증진되었으며, 접종량을 $10^9cfu\;g^{-1}$로부터 $10^{10}cfu\;g^{-1}$ 및 $10^{11}cfu\;g^{-1}$로 증가시킴에 따라 PLLA256000의 생분해도는 각각 14% 및 20% 증가하였다.

Effects of melt-mixing conditions on fracture properties of hydroxyapatite filled bioabsorbable poly(L-lactic acid)(HA/PLLA) composites was investigated by measuring the firacture toughness value of HA/PLLA composites prepared under different mixing time and rotor speed. The fracture surface morphology was also examined by profile measurement and scanning electron microscopies. It was found that the fracture toughness of HA/PLLA composites decreases due to decrease of ductile deformation of PLLA matrix and debonding of interfaces with increase of the rotor speed and mixing time. Effect of mixing process on neat PLLA was also assessed, and it was found that the fracture toughness of PLLA decreases due to disappearance of multiple craze formation and increase of defects. Such thermal and shear-stress degradation were found to be the primary mechanisms of the degradation of HA/PLLA composites during melt-mixing process.

In this study, gemcitabine (Gem)-Poly(L-lactic acid) (PLLA) conjugates were synthesized through an amide linkage reaction. Then, the microparticles of Gem-PLLA/PLLA blends containing gemcitabine were prepared using a supercritical fluid process, called aerosol solvent extraction system (ASES). Gemcitabine-loaded Gem-PLLA/PLLA microparticles obtained from the ASES process showed a spherical shape. The amount of gemcitabine released after 30 day incubation in a phosphate buffer solution of pH 7.4 was about 90% of the total amount of gemcitabine present in the product.

Particulate leaching method for the preparation of porous PLLA scaffolds was carried out and especially, the effect of PLLA/$CHCl_3$ solution concentration on the salt leaching rate and the pore structure of PLLA scaffolds were considered. It was found that maintaining lower PLLA/$CHCl_3$ concentration and higher $CHCl_3$ evaporation temperature in the preparation of PLLA/NaCl mixtures resulted in the enhancement of salt leaching rat e and higher porosity. This is understood that those conditions could minimize the formation of dense PLLA layer on the surface of PLLA/NaCl mixture as well as introducing better porosity on the surface. Higher salt leaching temperature accelerated the salt leaching rate but it seems that there is no influence on the porosity of PLLA scaffolds.

본 연구에서는 L-lactide를 이용하여 수평균분자량(Mn)과 중량평균분자량($M_w$)이 각각 12,000, 14,000 g/mol인 PLLA (Poly L-lactic acid) 수지를 합성하였으며, 이 PLLA를 이용하여 PLLA-Br 중간체를 합성하였다. PLLA-Br 중간체를 이용하여 수평균분자량($M_n$)과 중량평균분자량($M_w$)이 각각 84,000, 126,000 g/mol인 PLLA-block-PMMA (Poly L-lactic acid-block-Polymethyl methacrylate) 공중합체를 최종적으로 합성하였으며 PLLA-block-PMMA 공중합체의 유리전이온도($T_g$)는 $95.5^{\circ}C$, 열분해 개시온도는 $289^{\circ}C$이었다. PLA에 PLLA-block-PMMA를 9 phr 혼용하고 $95^{\circ}C$에서 3배 이축연신한 다음 $120^{\circ}C$에서 2 min 동안 저온열처리하여 두께가 $50{\pm}3{\mu}m$인 PLA 필름을 제조하였다. 550 nm 파장에서 측정한 PLA 필름의 빛투과율은 88.5%, 인장강도는 44.5 MPa이었으며 PLA 필름의 인장강도를 현 수준보다 개선하기 위해서는 이축연신후 $120^{\circ}C$의 온도조건에서 2 min보다 긴 저온열처리시간이 필요하였다.

Due to their multipotency, stem cells can differentiate into a variety of specialized cell types, such as chondrocytes, osteoblasts, myoblasts, and nerve cells. As an alternative to mature tissue cells, stem cells are of importance in tissue engineering and regenerative medicine. Since interactions between scaffold and cells play an important role in the tissue development in vitro, synthetic oligopeptides have been immobilized onto polymeric scaffolds to improve specific cell attachment and even to stimulate cell differentiation. In this study, chondrogenic differentiation of stem cells was evaluated using surface-modified PLLA scaffolds, i.e., either hydrophilic acrylic acid (AA)-grafted PLLA or RGD-immobilized one. Porous PLLA scaffolds were prepared using a gas foaming method, followed by plasma treatment and subsequent grafting of AA to introduce a hydrophilicity (PLLA-PAA). This was further processed to fix RGD peptide to make an RGD-immobilized scaffold (PLLA-PAA-RGD). Stem cells were seeded at $1{\times}10^{6}$ cells per scaffold and the cell-PLLA constructs were cultured for up to 4 weeks in the chondrogenic medium. Using these surface-modified scaffolds, adhesion, proliferation, and chondrogenic differentiation of stem cells were evaluated. The surface of PLLA scaffolds turned hydrophilic (water contact angle, 45 degrees) with both plasma treatment and AA grafting. The hydrophilicity of RGD-immobilized surface was not significantly altered. Cell proliferation rate on the either PLLA-PAA or PLLA-PAA-RGD surface was obviously improved, especially with the RGD-immobilized one as compared to the control PLLA one. Chondrogenic differentiation was clearly identified with Safranin O staining of GAG in the AA- or RGD-grafted PLLA substrates. This study demonstrated that modified polymer surfaces may provide better environment for chondrogenesis of stem cells.
