The present invention relates to a polymer semipermeable microcapsule using photopolymerization induced phase separation and a method for producing the same.

FIG. 1 shows a method for producing a polymer semipermeable microcapsule using a microfluidic device. FIG. 2 is a schematic view showing a semipermeable microcapsule forming process of the present invention. FIG. The method for producing a microcapsule of the present invention includes a step of forming a double droplet, a step of applying ultraviolet rays, and a step of forming a pore.

The double droplet is a w / o / w (water / oil / water) structure. The present invention is not limited to the method of forming the double droplet. For example, a double droplet can be formed without using the microfluidic device of Fig. That is, the present invention can prepare a double droplet by dripping a first fluid containing a storage material into a hydrophobic second fluid and hardening it.

In addition, a double droplet can also be prepared by a bulk emulsification method in which a single droplet of water / oil phase is formed through the first bulk emulsification and then continuously emulsified (second bulk emulsification) to the second hydrophilic fluid.

A specific method of forming a double droplet will be described in detail with reference to Fig. First, in the step of forming the double droplet, a hydrophilic first fluid containing a storage material is injected in an inner phase, an oleophilic second fluid containing a polymerizable polymer monomer and porogen is injected as an intermediate phase, A hydrophilic third fluid containing an activator is injected into the continuous phase to form a double droplet.

The hydrophilic first fluid may include a storage material to form an internal phase, and a material in which a storage material is dissolved in water may be used. At this time, a water-soluble surfactant such as polyvinyl alcohol (PVA) may be contained to stabilize the interface.

The storage material can be any material that is soluble or dispersible in water. For example, the storage material may be metal nanoparticles, water soluble drugs or proteins, physiologically active substances, water soluble polymers, microorganisms or cells.

More specifically, the metal nanoparticles can be any metal capable of causing surface enhanced Raman scattering, for example, silver nanoparticles or gold nanoparticles having biocompatibility.

The size of the metal nanoparticles can be as large as that of the surface-enhanced Raman scattering. For example, the metal nanoparticles may have a diameter of 3 to 1,000 nm, preferably 5 to 500 nm, and preferably 20 to 100 nm.

In addition, the storage material may be magnetic nanoparticles. In this case, the capsule containing the magnetic nanoparticles may react with external magnetic force. On the other hand, the magnetic nanoparticles may be mixed with a lipophilic fluid and injected. In this case, the magnetic nanoparticles may have a lipophilic property and are dispersed in the shell.

The storage material may be a drug, cosmetic, catalyst, nutrient or yeast cell or a cell of a mammal.

In addition, materials such as non-water-soluble particles dispersed in water as the storage material may be used without limitation.

There is no particular limitation on the content of the storage material. For example, 1 to 20% by weight of the storage material may be dissolved or dispersed in the first fluid.

The second fluid includes a first polymeric monomer, a second polymeric monomer, and a porogen that are polymerizable in an intermediate phase.

The first polymeric monomer may be a monovinylic monomer having an acrylate or methacrylate functional group. The first polymeric monomer may be selected from the group consisting of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA), ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate, 2-hydroxyethylmethacrylate, 2 , 3-epithiopropyl methacrylate, ethylene glycol methyl ether acrylate, methyl methacrylate, acrylamide, phenyl methacrylate, N-isopropylacrylamide, hydroxyethyl methacrylate, and the like.

The second fluid may include a second polymer monomer having a larger number of vinyl groups than the first polymer monomer. The second polymeric monomer is selected from the group consisting of ethoxylated trimethylolpropane triacrylate (ETPTA), ethyleneglycol dimethacrylate, divinylbenzene, 2-hydroxypropylene dimethacrylate Acrylate, 2-hydroxypropylene dimethacrylate, triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate, N, N'-methylene (bis) acrylamide.

The porogen is a pore generator, which can dissolve the first polymer monomer and the second polymer monomer, and may be an inert small molecular organic material that does not undergo chemical denaturation during polymer polymerization.

The porogen may be a low-molecular-weight oil.

The porogen may be an alcohol having 5 to 20 carbon atoms, an alkane having 5 to 20 carbon atoms, toluene, an acetate having 4 to 6 carbon atoms, for example, butylacetate.

The porogen may be contained in the second fluid in an amount of less than 30% by weight, preferably 20% by weight or less. When the content of the porogen is 30 wt% or more, shell formation may be difficult.

The second polymeric monomer may be included in an amount of 0 to 300 parts by weight based on 100 parts by weight of the first polymeric monomer.

The second fluid may include a photoinitiator for polymerization. The photoinitiator may include an α-hydroxy ketone type, an α-amino ketone type, a benzionalkyether, a benzophenone, a benzyldimethylketal, a 1,1-dichloroacetophenone, a 2-chlorothioxanthone, 2-hydroxy-2-methylpropiophenone, but is not limited thereto.

When a photoinitiator is further used, 0.1 to 5% by weight, preferably 0.1 to 1% by weight, based on the mixture of the second fluid may be used.

The present invention can use water as a continuous phase (third fluid), preferably water containing a surfactant.

Referring to FIG. 1, the dual droplet forming apparatus includes an injection capillary 110, a collection capillary 120, and an outer capillary 130. And an inner capillary tube 140 inside the injection capillary tube. The inner wall of the injection capillary may exhibit hydrophobicity.

In the present invention, the first fluid is injected into the inner capillary tube 140 and the second fluid is supplied to the space B between the injection capillary tube 110 and the inner capillary tube 140. Further, the third fluid is injected into the gap C between the injection capillary 110 and the outer capillary 130 in a continuous phase.

The first fluid and the second fluid are separated from each other in the injection capillary 110. That is, the first fluid flows through the center of the injection capillary 110 and the second fluid flows through the injection capillary inner wall And flows around the first fluid. The first fluid and the second fluid are dropped into the third fluid from an orifice formed at the end of the injection capillary 110 to form a double droplet of w / o / w structure.

Referring to FIG. 2, the core-shell type microcapsules can be prepared by applying ultraviolet rays to the double droplets.

When ultraviolet rays are applied to the second fluid, which is an intermediate phase of the double droplet, the monomer is photopolymerized to form a polymer membrane (shell). The thickness of the polymer shell may be 20 to 5000 nm, preferably 20 to 1000 nm.

When ultraviolet rays are applied to the double droplet, the weight of the polymer and the mixing energy increase as the first polymer monomer and the second polymer monomer are polymerized. When the degree of polymerization of the first polymer and the second polymer gradually increases and exceeds the gel point, solidification occurs, resulting in phase separation between the first polymer or the second polymer solidified and the porogen. Further, when the polymerization is further performed, the solidified first polymer or the second polymer forms a polymer shell having a single structure.

Since the polymerization of the polymer by ultraviolet light is performed in a very short time in a few seconds, phase separation also occurs in a very short time, and as a result local phase separation occurs throughout the shell, Size uniformly dispersed throughout the shell.

In FIG. 2, a UV irradiator is disposed at the downstream of the dual droplet forming apparatus to emit ultraviolet rays immediately after the double droplet is formed. However, the present invention is not limited to that shown in FIG. And then irradiating and curing it.

Referring to FIGS. 1 and 2, the step of forming pores in the microcapsule is a step of removing porogen that is present in the shell.

The step of removing the porogen may include washing the ultraviolet cured double droplets with an organic solvent or water.

The porogen can be removed from the shell using methanol, acetone, or water. Using methanol or acetone can remove the porogen in a short time. When water alone is used, it may take some time to remove the porogen, but it is easy to maintain the physiological activity when the cell is carried inside. The pores are areas where the porogen is removed.

The method may control the type and content of the porogen or the pore size by controlling the phase separation characteristic between the porogen and the first polymer monomer or the second polymer monomer.

As the type of porogen, especially the molecular weight of porogen, increases, the pore size may increase.

In addition, as the content of the porogen added in the second fluid increases, the pore size increases. For example, the pore size is larger when the content of porogen in the second fluid is 20 wt% than that of 10 wt%.

The phase separation characteristics may be determined by an interaction parameter between the polymer and the porogen, a molecular weight of the polymer, a thickness of the polymer membrane, and the like.

When the affinity between the polymer and the porogen is high, the phase separation rate is relatively low and the resulting pore size is small. For example, when ETPTA is used as the monomer, butyl acetate has a higher affinity for ETPTA (with a lower interaction parameter value) than 1-decanol, resulting in a smaller pore size than 1-decanol.

The present invention forms a shell by polymerizing a photopolymerizable monomer, so that it is possible to provide chemically stable microcapsules that are hardly affected by specific solvents or pH conditions. For example, a polymer capsule produced by volatilizing a double-droplet solvent having a polymer solution as an intermediate phase is easily dissolved in a polar solvent because the molecular weight is low. However, since the present polymer capsule has a relatively high molecular weight single polymer membrane, Stability.

As described later, the microcapsule of the present invention is excellent in flexibility, mechanical strength and durability because it can be selected from a single membrane and a polymer having excellent elasticity.

The present invention can control the pore size to be smaller than the cell size. The microcapsules of the present invention can selectively transmit only a target material smaller than the pore size. That is, the microcapsule of the present invention can prevent the foreign matter larger than the pore from flowing into the capsule, and the target material can be selectively introduced into the capsule according to the size.

The microcapsules may be used as a cell culture device capable of storing, transporting and culturing cells.

When microcapsules containing cells are placed in a solution containing nutrients or nutrients in microcapsule-loaded solutions, nutrients can enter the microcapsules through the pores.

As the cell, yeast, monocellular organisms such as E. coli , or animal cells such as beta cells of the islet is used.

In another aspect, the present invention relates to a polymeric semipermeable microcapsule having pores formed therein. The microcapsule comprising a core containing a storage material; And a shell surrounding the core and formed with uniform pores, wherein the pores are formed by removing the porogen, which is present in a phase separated from the polymer formed in the photopolymerization process, from the polymer.

The size of the pores is smaller than the size of the storage material, so that the storage material may be carried on the inside of the microcapsule and may not flow out.

The microcapsule may selectively transmit only a target material smaller than the pore size.

The storage material may be a cell, a drug, a cosmetic, a nutrient, a catalyst, or a metal nanomaterial.

The microcapsules may have a size ranging from 10 to 1000 탆, preferably from 10 to 500 탆.

The pores may have a size ranging from 1 nm to 10 탆, preferably from 1 to 1000 nm.

The thickness of the shell may be 20 to 5000 nm.

The shell is a semipermeable polymer membrane.

The aforementioned microcapsules can be referred to above.
