제목 Fabrication of Porous Biodegradable Polymeric Microspheres using Hydrogen Peroxide as a Novel Porogen
초록 Hydrogen peroxide (H2O2), a strong oxidizing agent, is a colorless liquid that is decomposed into water and oxygen when heated over 80 °C. It also decomposes in the presence of numerous catalysts, e.g., most metals, acids, or oxidizable organic materials and catalase. In this study, porous poly(lactide-co-glycolide) (PLGA) microspheres were fabricated by emulsion-solvent evaporation method using H2O2 as a gas foaming agent. H2O2 was mixed in the polymer emulsion droplets to generate oxygen gas bubbles during the solvent evaporation. Catalase was used as a H2O2 decomposition catalyst. This method is simple and environment-friendly, eliminating the use of salts. Sterilizing effect is also expected. Various conditions were tested and the resultant porous microspheres were characterized.
