In this paper, we manufactured silsesquiaznae (SSQZ)-coated carbon nanotube (CNT) surface heating elements, which allowed stable heating at high temperatures. The prepared composite sheet was confirmed by FE-SEM that the SSQZ fully coated the surface of CNT sheet. Furthermore, it was also confirmed that the silicon carbonitride (SiCN) ceramic formed by heat treatment of 800℃ have no defects found and maintain intact structure. The CNT/SiCN composite sheet was able to achieve higher thermal stability than raw CNT sheets in both nitrogen and air atmosphere. Finally, the CNT/SiCN composite sheet was possible to heat up at a temperature of over 700℃ in the atmosphere, and the re-heating was successfully operated after cooling.

저항 구조를 가진 유기 쌍안정성 소자는 비휘발성 기억 소자 중에서 구조가 간단하고 제작비용이 저렴하며 플렉시블이 용이한 장점 때문에 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 유기물/무기물 복합재료를 사용한 유기 쌍안정성 소자 제작에 대한 연구는 많이 진행되어 왔지만, 넓은 에너지 밴드 갭을 가진 $SnO_2$ 나노 입자가 삽입된 고분자 박막을 기반으로 제작한 유기 쌍안정성 소자에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) 박막 안에 분산된 $SnO_2$ 나노 입자를 사용하여 제작한 유기 쌍안정성 소자의 전기적인 특성을 관찰하였다. 소자를 제작하기 위해 나노 입자의 전구체인 Tin 2-ethylhexanoate (95%) 2.4 mmol을 dibutyl ether (99.3%) 10 ml에 용해시킨 후, 용매열 화학적 방법을 사용하여 용매 안에서 $SnO_2$ 나노 입자를 합성하였다. 용매 안에 들어있는 1 wt%의 $SnO_2$ 나노 입자와 100 mg의 PMMA를 2 ml의 클로로벤젠에 용해하여 고분자 용액을 제작하였다. 하부 전극 역할을 하는 indium tin oxide가 증착된 유리 기판 위에 고분자 용액을 스핀 코팅하고, 열을 가해 용매를 제거하여 $SnO_2$ 나노 입자가 분산되어 있는 PMMA 박막을 형성하였다. 그 위에 Al 전극을 증착하여 기억 소자를 완성하였다. 제작된 유기 쌍안정성 소자의 전류-전압 (I-V) 측정 결과에서는 동일한 전압에서 서로 크기가 다른 전류가 흐르는 I-V 곡선의 히스테리시스 특성이 나타났다. 그러나 $SnO_2$ 나노 입자가 없는 PMMA 박막으로 형성된 유기 쌍안정성 소자에서는 I-V 곡선의 히스테리시스 특성이 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 PMMA 박막 안에 삽입된 $SnO_2$ 나노 입자가 유기 쌍안정성 소자의 메모리 효과에 결정적인 영향을 준 것을 알 수 있었다. 전류-시간 측정 결과에서는 소자의 ON/OFF 비율이 시간에 따라 큰 변화 이 없이 1000 사이클 이상 지속적으로 유지 하고 있음을 보여 줌으로써 유기 쌍안정성 소자를 장시간 사용할 수 있음을 나타내 주었다.

Due to the increasing demand for wearable devices and miniaturization of various electronic devices, the trend of nanofabrication in IT devices is underway. In order to overcome the limitations of battery size and capacity, there has been a lot of research interest in energy harvesting technology, also known as triboelectric nanogenerator. AAO(Anodic Aluminum oxide) coated with fluoride is a structure that includes an anode layer with high properties in the triboelectric series, an dielectric layer that helps transfer the triboelectrically generated charges to the electrode without loss, and the electrode. For these reasons, AAO has been a lot of research on its application to frictional energy harvesting nanogenerators. In this work, we analyzed the correlation of AAO between the surface morphology and thickness of the insulating layer by utilizing aluminum oxide, which is advantageous for the application of triboelectric nanogenerators, and adjusting the thickness of the insulating layer.

Electrospun polymeric nanofibers have been extensively studied for biomedical materials because of their unique structures and relatively easy fabrication with biocompatible polymers. The amount of surface exposed amine groups increases as the blend ratio of block copolymer increases. Cell attachments on the nanofibers change according to the ratio of the block copolymer ((Poly(e-caprolactone, PCL), Poly(e-caprolactone)-Poly (ethylen glycol-$NH_2$)) in the blend. We assume that the PEG and amine moiety plays a significant role in biocompatibility of nanofiber surfaces. Collagen was used as a grafting material on the composite nanofibers to enhance the cell adhesion because the collagen is a major constituent of connective tissue.

Nanofibers comprising reduced graphene oxide (rGO) and Mo₂C/Mo₂N nanoparticles (Mo₂C/Mo₂N rGO NFs) were prepared for a functional interlayer of Li-S batteries (LSBs). The well-dispersed Mo₂C and Mo₂N nanoparticles in the nanofiber structure served as active polar sites for efficient immobilization of dissolved lithium polysulfide. The rGO nanosheets in the structure also provide conductive channels for fast ion/electron transport during charging-discharging and ensured reuse of lithium polysulfide during redox reactions through a fast charge transfer process. As a result, the cell assembled with Mo₂C/Mo₂N rGO NFs-coated separator and pure sulfur electrode (70 wt% of sulfur content and 2.1 mg cm^-2 of sulfur loading) showed a stable discharge capacity of 476 mA h g^-1 after 400 charge-discharge cycles at 0.1 C. Furthermore, it exhibited a discharge capacity of 574 mA h g^-1 even at a high current density of 1.0 C. Therefore, we believe that the proposed unique nanostructure synthesis strategy could provide new insights into the development of sustainable and highly conductive polar materials as functional interlayers for high performance LSBs.

Mo-Cu 합금은 열전도도, 전기전도도가 우수하고 합금조성에 따라 열팽창계수의 조절이 가능하여 반도체소재, 방열소재, 접점소재 등에 적용가능성이 높은 재료로 주목받고 있다. 또한 상태도 상에서 고용도가 전혀 없기 때문에 박막을 제작하였을 경우, 나노 복합체 형성이 용이하고 질소 분위기에서는 MoN-Cu로 상분리가 가능하여 하드상과 소프트상의 물성을 동시에 보유한 박막 제작이 가능하다. 또한 고온에서 산화반응에 의해 생기는 $MoO_3$, $CuO_3$와 같은 준안정상의 산화물들은 육방정계 구조(HCP)를 가지며 전단특성이 우수하여 자동차 저마찰 코팅재료로써 많은 연구가 진행되고 있다. 반면, Mo-Cu 는 상호간에 고상은 물론 액상에서도 고용도가 전혀 없기 때문에 일반적인 방법으로는 합금화 또는 복합화가 어렵다. 또한 Mo-Cu 박막을 제작할 경우 복수의 타겟을 이용해야 하기 때문에 성분조절과 구조적 제어가 불리하고 공정의 복잡화라는 단점을 가지고 있으며 추가적으로 다른 원소를 첨가하여 3원계, 4원계 이상의 박막을 형성하는 것에 한계가 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 위와 같은 문제점을 해결하기 위하여 상호간의 고용도가 없는 재료의 합금화가 용이한 기계적 합금화법(Mechanical Alloying)을 이용하여 Mo-Cu 합금분말을 제조하였고, 준안정상태의 구조의 유지가 가능한 방전 플라즈마 소결법(Spark Plasma Sintering)을 이용하여 합금타겟을 제작하였다. Mo-Cu 박막은 제작된 합금타겟을 사용하여 DC 스퍼터링 공정으로 제작하였다. Mo-Cu 박막의 공정조건으로는 타겟조성, 공정분위기, 가스 비율로 정하여 실험을 진행하였다. 제작된 박막은 자동차 코팅재료로써의 적용가능성을 보기 위해서 내열성, 내식성, 내마모성의 특성을 평가하였다.

As the issue of reducing greenhouse gases is emerging due to global warming and extreme weather, research on materials capable of radiative cooling without energy consumption is being actively conducted. Among them, silk is known as a natural self-cooling material, but in the conventional mixing process using chemically powdered silk, there is a problem that the radiative cooling effect disappears by the collapses of the intrinsic crystal structure of silk fibroin, so it is difficult to manufacture it in the form of a film or coating agent for radiative cooling. In this study, various types of membranes were manufactured using silk powder that went through a physical pulverization process that does not damage the intrinsic structure of silk fibroin, and the study was conducted to examine its applicability as a coating agent. Electrospun membranes and flat sheet membranes were prepared by using silk fibroin powder for this purpose, and it was observed that the viscosity of the solution had a significant effect on the membrane fabrication and its properties.

The effects of process parameters for the formation of polypropylene film such as the polypropylene concentration in the solution, drying temperature for coating film, and variation of nano-silica content on the surface structure and property of polypropylene film have been studied. A super-hydrophobic polypropylene film with a maximum contact angle of $154^{\circ}$ was obtained at the condition of a polypropylene concentration of 30 mg/mL, a drying temperature of $30^{\circ}C$, a drying pressure of 93 mtorr for 90 min. The increase of a drying temperature reduced the contact angle by enhancing the surface smoothness of the film. The increase of nano-silica content in the composite film composed of polypropylene and silica changed the surface shape from microporous to microglobular, which led to increasing the contact angle and showed the super-hydrophobic surface property.

In order to avoid the high observability due to the cavity resonance or electromagnetic wave leakages from the bridge of a battleship or the cockpit of an aircraft, this paper presents a transparent conductive oxide coated structure to prevent the incoming/outgoing electromagnetic waves. Currently, most of the RCS reduction technologies were focused on radar absorbing material such as paints based on conductive or magnetic materials in the fuselage, and there is not much research on countermeasures for achieving the low observability of materials that required optical transparency in actual weapon systems. In this study, the transmission/reflection and absorption performance of the ITO coated structure according to the change of the surface resistance of the transparent conductor were analyzed. Finally, the relationship between the electromagnetic and optical characteristics was established through fabrication and measurement.
