Abstract
Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA) and carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) have received increasing attention in biomedical and biochemical applications because of their properties such as being water-soluble and biocompatible. In this study, a PVA/CMC hydrogel applicable to artificial cartilage was prepared by a freezing-thawing technique and a gamma-ray irradiation. The solid concentration of PVA was 7 wt% and the concentration of CMC was 4 wt%. The freezing/thawing process was repeated twice and the dose of gamma-ray irradiated was 30 kGy. Results of gelation before and after gamma-ray irradiation were similar, but the swelling degree decreased and compressive strength increased. The cytotoxicity was investigated with CCK-8 assay.

Poly(vinyl alcohol)(PVA)와 carboxymethyl cellulose sodium salt(CMC)는 우수한 생체적합성 및 수용성으로 인하여 생체의학 분야에서 주목하는 재료 중 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 PVA와 CMC를 동결/융해 과정과 감마선 조사에 의하여 인공연골로서 사용 가능한 수화젤을 제조하였다. 수화젤 제조시 PVA/CMC의 농도는 PVA는 7 wt%, CMC는 4 wt%로 고정시켰으며, 동결/융해 과정은 2회 반복하였으며, 감마선은 30 kGy 조사하였다. 방사선 조사 전과후의 겔화율은 눈에 띄는 차이는 보이지 않았으나 팽윤도는 조사 후에 감소하였으며, 겔강도는 증가하였다. CCK-8 assay에 의하여 세포독성이 없는 것으로 확인되었다. 제조된 PVA/CMC 수화젤은 체내에 삽입되는 인공연골 재료로서 사용가능성을 제시하였다.
