초록

본 연구에서는 노인의 온열치료에 적용가능한 웨어러블 면상발열체를 제작하고, 그 발열특성을 조사하였다. 웨어러블 면상발열체는 인듐 주석 산화물 나노입자를 유리섬유위에 코팅하고, 에코플렉스 안에 삽입하여 제작하였다. 제작된 면상발열체는 30%의 신축 스트레인상태에서도 발열온도 변화가 10%이내로 안정적으로 동작하였다. 또한 웨어러블 면상발열체를 사람의 손목에 부착하여 동작시켰을 때, 2분 안에 손목의 온도가 $35^{\circ}C$에서 $43^{\circ}C$로 상승하였다.

In this study, we fabricated the wearable film-heaters used in thermotherapy for senior citizens and investigated the heat generation characteristics. The wearable film-heaters embedded into eco-flex were constructed with indium tin oxide (ITO) nanoparticles coated on glass fibers. Under a stretching strain of 30%, the wearable film-heaters stably operated with temperature variation of 10%. In addition, the wearable film-heater worn on the wrist increased the temperature of the wrist from $35^{\circ}C$ to $43^{\circ}C$ within 2 min.
