  • Patent number: 11801222
    Abstract: A method for producing granules of a uniform size includes preparing an organic member solution, uniformly dispersing an inorganic member in the organic member solution at a weight ratio of 1 to 10 based on an organic member to form an organic-inorganic composite solution, spraying the organic-inorganic composite solution in an electrostatic charge manner, and polymerizing the sprayed organic-inorganic composite solution to form a hydrogel phase. The granules having a uniform size may be mass-produced in a short time and may be produced at a high yield. The method may be applied to a variety of fields, such as a pharmaceutical field, a medical field, a cosmetics field, and a food field and may replace a conventional spray drying method.

  • Patent number: 9889234
    Abstract: A scaffold for hard tissue regeneration comprising an active ingredient for treating osteoporosis and a preparation method thereof. The scaffold for hard tissue regeneration is prepared by the steps of mixing a polyphenol-based natural substance containing Quercetein or Genistein involved in the activation of osteoblasts and osteoclasts and the biofunctional analog thereof with a ceramic scaffold material and molding the mixture at room temperature into a three-dimensional scaffold. The biofunctional material included in the scaffold above may be sustain-released slowly over the long period of time so that the osteoblast activity is directly improved and at the same time the osteoclast activity is suppressed in the course of bone regeneration, to have the effect of improving bone regeneration.
