The present study has focused on the characteristics of droplet formation from an inkjet nozzle driven by a piezoelectric actuator. As an operating fluid, ethylene glycol was used and the physical properties of it such as viscosity, surface tension, contact angle and shear stress were measured. During the experiments, various temperatures and driving voltages are imposed on a capillary tube. These conditions result in a proper drive condition or an overdrive condition. In case of the proper drive condition, an image processing technique is applied to measure the diameter of a single free drop. As a result, the size of droplet is increased when the driving voltage is increased from 160 V to 190 V at 25$^{\circ}C$ In the overdrive condition where temperature or driving voltage becomes higher than the proper drive condition, satellites and the misdirected jets happen.

The atomization of a liquid into multiple droplets has many important industrial applications, including the atomization of fuels in combustion processes and coating of surfaces and particles. Ultrasonic atomizing nozzle has a transducer that receives electrical input in the form of a high frequency signal from a power generator and converts that into mechanical energy at the same frequency. Liquid is atomized into a fine mist spray using high frequency sound vibrations. In coating applications, the unpressurized, low-velocity spray reduces the amount of overspray significantly because the droplets tend to settle on the substrate, rather than bouncing off it. The spray can be controlled and shaped precisely by entraining the slow-moving spray in an ancillary air stream using specialized types of spray-shaping equipment. The desired patterns of spray can be obtained using an air stream. To simulate the water mist behavior of an ultrasonic atomizing nozzle using an air stream, the Lagrangian dispersed phase model was employed using the commercial code FLUENT. The effects of the nozzle contraction shape, water droplet size and the pneumatic pressure drop on the spray characteristics were investigated to obtain the optimal condition for coating applications.

분무주조법으로 제조된 Al-25Si-(Fe,V) 합금빌렛의 미세조직을 광학현미경, 주사전자현미경, 투과전자현미경으로 분석하였으며, 빌렛내에서 관찰되는 2차상의 형성거동을 정확히 분석하기 위해 over-sprayed 분말의 미세조직을 분무주조 빌렛과 함께 관찰하였다. 먼저 분무주조 빌렛을 표면으로부터 중심부까지 관찰한 결과, 분무주조 빌렛의 미세조직은 표면부 10mm 가량을 제외하고는 매우 균일한 미세조직을 보여주었다. 이에 본 연구에서는 분무주조 빌렛의 표면부와 중심부, 그리고 over-sprayed 분말조직으로 구분하여 각각에서 관찰되는 2차상을 관찰하였으며, 이를 바탕으로 분무주조 빌렛내에 형성된 2차상의 형성기구를 규명하고자 하였다. Over-sprayed 분말의 미세조직은 기지조직내에 균일하게 분포된 침상의 $\delta$-AlFeSi 상과 각형의 Si 입자로 구성되어 있었다. 반면, 분무주조 빌렛의 경우, 그 중심부에서는 기자조직내에 균일하게 분포된 막대형의 $\beta$-AlFeSi과 부정형의 조대한 Si입자가 관찰되었으며, 표면부에서는 부정형의 Si 입자와 함께 막대형의 $\beta$-AlFeSi/$\delta$-AlFeSi 복합상이 관찰되었다. 특히, 빌렛 표면부의 $\beta$-AlFeSi 상과 $\delta$-AlFeSi 상간에는 일정한 방위관계가 존재하였으며, 이러한 결과는 분무주조 빌렛내에 분포된 $\beta$-AlFeSi상들이 분무액적내에 형성된 준안정 $\delta$-AlFeSi 상으로부터 상분해되어 형성되었음을 제시한다. 이상의 분무주조 조직과 over-sprayed 분말의 미세조직으로부터 분무주조 빌렛의 최종 주조조직은 반응고상태의 분무액적 조직에 의해 지배됨을 알 수 있다.r plate)의 단면 미세조직 사진으로써 모재부와 오버레이충을 함께 보여주고 있다. 모재와 오버레이 충간의 경계면은 모재 일부가 용융된 후 웅고하면서 형성됨으로 인해서 도금이나 용사층과는 달리 매우 견고하게 결합되어 있다. 따라서 계면부의 탈락이라는 문 제점은 거의 없어 심한 응력을 받는 기계구조물 및 부품에도 본 기술은 널리 적용되고 있다. 그리고 사진 1에서 알 수 있는 바와 같이 모재와는 전혀 상이한 재료를 자유로이 선택하여 표면 유효층 일부만 오버레이시키며I 주조 및 단조가 불가능한 재료까지도 표면부에 오버레이 시킴으로 서 부품 및 설비의 제조에 있어 재료비의 절감과 제품의 수명이 획기적으로 개선될 수 있다. 그리고 최근에는 도금 빛 용사 둥과 같은 표면처리를 할 경우임의 소재 표면에 도금 및 용 사에 용이한 재료를 오버레이용접시킨 후 표면처리를 함으로써 보다 고품질의 표면층을 얻기위한 시도가 이루어지고 있다. 따라서 국내, 외의 오버레이 용접기술의 적용현황 및 대표적인 적용사례, 오버레이 용접기술 및 용접재료의 개발현황 둥을 중심으로 살펴봄으로서 아직 국내에서는 널리 알려지지 않은 본 기 술의 활용을 넓이고자 한다. within minimum time from beginning of the shutdown.및 12.36%, $101{\sim}200$일의 경우 12.78% 및 12.44%, 201일 이상의 경우 13.17% 및 11.30%로 201일 이상의 유기의 경우에만 대조구와 삭제 구간에 유의적인(p<0.05) 차이를 나타내었다.는 담수(淡水)에서 10%o의 해수(海水)로 이주된지 14일(日) 이후에 신장(腎臟)에서 수축된 것으로 나타났다. 30%o의 해수(海水)에 적응(適應)된 틸라피아의 평균 신사구체(腎絲球體)의 면적은 담수(淡水)에 적응된 개체의 면적보다 유의성있게 나타났다. 해수(海水)에 적응(適應)된 틸라피아의 신단위(腎單位)의 사

Recently, various research studies have been conducted and many are in progress for the suitable alternative materials for ITO based touch screen panel (TSP) due to limitations in size and flexibility. Various researches from all over the world have been attempted to fabricate the fine electrode less than $5{\mu}m$ for the rapid developing of display technology. Research is also being carried out in metal mesh methods using the existing technologies and alternative materials at commercial level. However, by using the existing technologies certain discrepancies are observed like low transparency and low yield which also results in the distortion of patterns. For repairing the damaged pattern, the conventional laser CVD technique has also been used but there are some challenges observed in CVD technique like achieving a stable fine electrode of $10{\mu}m$ or less and avoiding the formation of satellite drops. To overcome these issues, a new printing process named Electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing, has been introduced by which $5{\mu}m$ fine patterns can be printed in one step. This EHDA printing technique has been applied to print very fine electrodes of $5{\mu}m$ or less by using conductive inks of various viscosities. This study also presents the optimized process parameters for printing $5{\mu}m$ fine electrode patterns during experiments by controlling the applied voltage and supply flow rate. The $5{\mu}m$ repair electrodes were fabricated for repairing $50{\mu}m$ shorted electrode samples.

The SLA (Stereolithography Apparatus) method is a type of 3D printing technique predicated on the transformation of liquid photocurable resin into a solid form through UV laser exposure, and its application is increasing in various fields. In this study, we conducted research to enhance the hydrophobicity and transparency of SLA 3D printing surfaces for microfluidic system production. The enhancement of surface hydrophobicity in SLA outputs was attainable through the application of hydrophobic coating methods, but the coating durability under different conditions varied depending on the type of hydrophobic coating. Additionally, to simultaneously achieve the required transparency and hydrophobic properties for the fabrication of microfluidic systems, we applied hydrophobic coatings to the proposed transparency enhancement method from prior research and compared the changes in contact angles. Teflon coating was proposed as a suitable hydrophobic coating method for the fabrication of microfluidic systems, given its excellent transparency and high coating durability in various environmental conditions, in comparison to titanium dioxide coating. Finally, we produced an Electrophoresis of Charged Droplet (ECD) chip, one of the digital microfluidics systems, using SLA 3D printing with the proposed Teflon coating method (Fluoropel 800). Droplet manipulation was successfully demonstrated with the fabricated chip, confirming the potential application of SLA 3D printing technology in the production of microfluidic systems.

Digital microfluidic electroporation system was used for the transformation of microalgae and we have obtained higher transformation efficiency and viability than that of conventional method. Key parameters of electroporation such as pulse voltage, number, and duration time were systematically investigated for two different microalgal strains with and without cell wall. We have found that cell wall does not always have negative effects on the gene transformation of microalgae. Parallel processing of proposed digital microfluidic electroporation was demonstrated together with on chip culture of microalgae.

This study demonstrates a new method for the synthesis of organic-inorganic hybrid particles composed of an inorganic silica shell and organic core particles. The organic core particles are prepared with a uniform size using droplet-based microfluidic technology. In the process of preparing the organic core particles, uniform droplets are generated by independently controlling the flow rates of the dispersed phase containing photocurable resins and the continuous phase. After the generation of droplets in a microfluidic device, the droplets are photo-polymerized as particles by ultraviolet irradiation at the ends of microfluidic channels. The core particle is coated with a nano complex composed of polyallylamine hydrochloride (PAH) and phosphate ion (Pi) through strong non-covalent interactions such as hydrogen bonding and electrostatic interaction under optimized pH conditions. The polyamine nano complex rapidly induces the condensation reaction of silicic acid through the arranged amine groups of the main chain of PAH. Therefore, this method enabled the preparation of organic-inorganic hybrid particles coated with inorganic silica nanoparticles on the organic core. Finally, we demonstrated the synthesis of organic-inorganic hybrid particles in a short time under ambient and environmentally friendly conditions, and this is applicable to the production of organic-inorganic hybrid particles having various sizes and shapes.

대기 중에는 가스상 물질뿐만 아니라 액적 또는 고체의 미립자도 존재하고 있다. 이러한 입자상 물질은 다른 크기와 화학적 조성을 가지는 입자들로 혼합되어 있고, 그 성상은 시간에 따라 크게 변동한다. 따라서 대기 중 미세입자에 대한 발생원 추정 및 발생원 정보를 얻기 위해서는 개개의 입자에 대한 물리ㆍ화학적 정보를 얻는 것이 중요하다. 입자상 물질을 이해하기 위해서는 물리적인 특성(size, shape 등)과 화학적인 특성이 중요한 요소이다. 입자상 물질의 형상은 그 발생원에 따라 또는 존재에 따라 매우 다양하고 불규칙적이다.

This paper presents results for dispensing and measuring micro-particles using a pneumatic dispensing system. Particle-suspended liquid droplets were dispensed and analyzed quantitatively at various particle concentrations and applied pressures. By using a developed experimental setup, the number of particles and the particle volume ratio in sequentially dispensed droplets were measured. Hydrophilic and hydrophobic surfaces were tested to find a suitable surface for counting the number of particle. It was confirmed that the dispensed particles concentrated into the center of the droplet on the smooth CD surface after evaporation of liquid. As the applied positive pressure increased, the number of particles per droplet increased consistently and the volume fraction of particles remained constant.
