BGF/PLA 복합재료를 이용한 골절치료용 고정판의 체액 노출 조건에 따른 성능평가 = Performance Evaluation of Bone Plates Consisted of BGF/PLA Composite Material according to Body Fluid Exposure Conditions

국문 초록 (Abstract)

본 연구에서는 일방향 생분해성 유리섬유(BGF)와 친환경 생분해성 수지인 폴리락트산(PLA)을 이용하여 골절치료용 복합재료 고정판을 제작하고 체액 노출에 따른 고정판의 성능 변화를 확인하고자 50.0°C 온도조건으로 설정된 인산완충식염수(PBS)에 제작된 생분해성 고정판을 0~3주 동안 노출시켜 질량 변화를 측정하고 4점 굽힘 실험을 수행하였다. 굽힘 강성, 수분 흡수율, 그리고 질량 감소율과 같은 기계적 특성 변화를 파악하였으며 실험 결과로부터 노출 기간이 증가함에 따라 고정판을 구성하고 있는 생분해성 재료들의 손실로 인해 기계적 물성이 서서히 저하되는 경향을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.

다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

The aim of this study is to fabricate composite bone plates consisted of unidirectional biodegradable glass fibers (BGF) and polylactic acid (PLA) and evaluate the performance of the composite bone plates according to the temperature (50.0°C) of PBS (Phosphate Buffer Saline) solution and exposure time (0~3 weeks). Mechanical characteristics, such as bending stiffness, flexural strength, water uptake and mass loss, were investigated and the results showed that mechanical properties of the plates decreased as soaking duration increased due to loss of composite material.
