Thermal dissipation was investigated for poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA) composite films containing graphite and multi wall carbon nanotube(CNT) powders as filler materials. After mixing PMMA with fillers, solvent, and dispersant, the pastes were prepared by passing through a three roll mill for three times. The prepared pastes were coated $15{\sim}40{\mu}m$ thick on a side of 0.4 mm thick aluminium alloy plate and dried for 30 min at $150^{\circ}C$ in an oven. The content of fillers in dried films was varied as 1, 2, and 5 weight % maintaining the ratio of graphite and CNT as 1:1. Raman spectra from three different samples exhibited D, G and 2D peaks, as commonly observed in graphite and multi wall CNT. Among those peaks, D peak was prominent, which manifested the presence of defects in carbon materials. Thermal emissivity values of three samples were measured as 0.916, 0.934, and 0.930 with increasing filler content, which were the highest ever reported for the similar composite films. The thermal conductivities of three films were measured as 0.461, 0.523, and $0.852W/m{\cdot}K$, respectively. After placing bare Al plate and film coated samples over an opening of a polystyrene box maintained for 1 h at $92^{\circ}C$, the temperatures inside and outside of the box were measured. Outside temperatures were lower by $5.4^{\circ}C$ in the case of film coated plates than the bare one, and inside temperatures of the former were lower by $3.6^{\circ}C$ than the latter. It can be interpreted that the PMMA composite film coated Al plates dissipate heat quicker than the bare Al plate.

Generally, high-temperature, high-pressure, high-priced sintering equipment is used for diamond sintering, and conductivity is a problem for improving the surface modification of the sintered body. In this study, to improve the efficiency of diamond sintering, we identified a new process and material that can be sintered at low temperature, and attempted to develop a composite thin film that can be discharged by doping boron gas to improve the surface modification of the sintered body. Sintered bodies were sintered by mixing Si and two diamonds in different particle sizes based on CIP molding and HIP molding. In CVD deposition, CVD was performed using WC-Co cemented carbide using CH₄ and H₂ gas, and the specimen was made conductive using boron gas. According to the experimental results of the sintered body, as the Si content is increased, the Vickers hardness decreases drastically, and the values of tensile strength, Young's modulus and fracture toughness greatly increase. Conductive CVD deposited diamond was boron deposited and discharged. As the amount of boron added increased, the strength of diamond peaks decreased and crystallinity improved. In addition, considering the release processability, tool life and adhesion of the deposition surface according to the amount of boron added, the appropriate amount of boron can be confirmed. Therefore, by solving the method of low temperature sintering and conductivity problem, the possibility of solving the existing sintering and deposition problem is presented.

나노섬유(nanofiber), 나노선(nanowire), 그리고 나노튜브(nanotube)와 같은 1차원 구조의(one-dimensional structure) 나노재료는 벌크(bulk) 및 박막(film) 재료와는 다르게 물리적, 화학적으로 특이한 성질을 가지고 있으며, 이러한 성질은 나노재료의 구조, 형상, 크기 등에 큰 영향을 받는다. 첫 째, 전기방사(electrospinning) 공정을 이용한 나노섬유의 합성; 용액의 특성, 전기장 세기, 방사시간 등의 변수를 조절하게 되면 방출되는 재료의 형상을 입자 혹은 섬유상의 형태로 얻을 수 있으며, 전기방사를 통해 합성된 나노재료의 소결 온도 및 시간을 달리함으로써 나노입자의 크기를 조절할 수 있다. 또한, 템플레이트 합성법(template synthesis) 및 이중노즐(coaxial nozzle)을 이용해 속이 빈 형태인 중공(hollow) 구조의 나노섬유를 얻을 수 있으며, 전기방사에 사용되는 전구물질에 원하는 금속 및 산화물을 첨가함으로써 복합체(composite) 나노섬유를 얻을 수 있다. 둘 째, VLS(Vapor-Liquid-Solid) 공정을 이용한 나노선의 성장; 온도, 압력, 전구물질의 양, 그리고 시간 등의 변수를 조절하게 되면 원하는 직경 및 길이를 갖는 나노선을 성장시킬 수 있다. 그리고 ALD(Atomic Layer Deposition)를 이용해 나노선에 추가적인 층을 형성함으로써 코어-셀 구조를 형성할 수 있으며, 감마선, UV와 같은 공정을 이용해 귀금속 촉매를 나노선에 기능화 시킬 수도 있다. 코어-셀 구조를 갖는 나노선/나노섬유는 코어 혹은 셀 층의 전자나 홀의 이동을 유발하여 전자공핍층(electron depletion layer) 또는 정공축적층(hole accumulation layer)을 확대 및 축소시켜 센서의 초기저항을 증가시키거나 감소시키는 역할로써 이용되고 있으며, 특히, 셀 층의 두께가 셀 층 재료의 Debye length와 유사한 크기를 갖게 되면, 셀 층은 완전공핍층(fully depleted layer)을 형성해 최대의 감도를 나타낼 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 다양한 제조 공정을 통해 제작될 수 있는 1차원 나노-구조물을 가스센서에 적용하는 사례들을 소개하고, 이러한 가스센서의 감응성능을 향상시키기 위한 방법의 한 가지로 원자층증착법으로 나노선/나노섬유의 표면에 셀층을 형성하여 감응성 향상 메커니즘 및 관련 주요 변수들을 조사하고자 한다.

In this study, we analyzed the effect of silicon oxynitride matrix on the optical properties of Au nanoparticles dispersed on composite film and explored the effectiveness of the silicon in fine tuning the refractive index of the composite film for applications in optical waveguide devices. The atomic fraction of nitrogen in $SiO_xN_y$ films was controlled by varying the relative flow ratio of nitrogen gas in reactive sputtering and was evaluated optically using an effective medium theory with Bruggeman geometry consisting of a random mixture between $SiO_2$ and $Si_3N_4$. The Au nanoparticles were embedded in the $SiO_xN_y$ matrix by employing the alternating deposition technique and clearly showed an absorption peak due to the excitation of surface plasmon. With increasing nitrogen atomic fraction in the matrix, the surface plasmon resonance wavelength shifted to a longer wavelength (a red-shift) with an enhanced resonance absorption. These characteristics were interpreted using the Maxwell-Garnett effective medium theory. The formation of a guided mode in a slab waveguide consisting of 3 $\mu$m thick Au:$SiO_xN_y$ nanocomposite film was confirmed at the telecommunication wavelength of 1550 nm by prism coupler method and compared with the case of using $SiO_2$ matrix. The use of $SiO_xN_y$ matrix provides an effective way of controlling the mode confinement while maintaining or even enhancing the surface plasmon resonance properties.

The membranes of the blends of chitosan and polycaprolactarn (PA6) were prepared in formic acid. FT-IR data revealed that hydrogen bonding between amide and hydroxyl groups of chitosan and PA6, respectively, was formed. Thermogravimetric analysis demonstrated that the blend samples contain water. DMA results showed that the dissipation of water in the samples significantly reduced the storage modulus (E'). The mechanical loss tangent (tan $\delta$) data of the blend samples showed the $\beta$d loss peak around $0^{\circ}C$. The blend samples were completely dried in a vacuum and then exposed to high moisture to absorb water which would cause, so called, w-bridges between the molecules. The E' data of these regained samples increased abnormally and additional loss peak appeared on the shoulder of the peak around $50^{\circ}C$. Under dry condition, the samples with a blend ratio of 40/60 for chitosan/PA6 displayed a better miscibility between two components.

For th aim of lightweight microwave absorbers, conductive and magnetic microspheres are fabricated by plating of Co films on hollow ceramic microspheres of low density. Metal plating was carried out in a two-step electroless plating process (pre-treatment of activation and plating). Uniform coating of the film with about $2{\~}3{\cal}um$ thickness was identified by SEM. High-frequency magnetic and microwave absorbing properties were determined in the rubber composites containing the Co-coated microspheres. Due to conductive and ferromagnetic behavior of the Co thin films, high dielectric constant and magnetic loss can be obtained in the microwave frequencies. Due to those electromagnetic properties, high absorption rate (25 dB) and thin matching thickness ($2.0{\~}2.5{\cal}mm$) are predicted in the composite layers containing the metal-coated microspheres of low density (about 0.84 g/cc) for the electromagnetic radiation in microwave frequencies.

Ti-In-Zn-O (TIZO)/Ag/TIZO multilayer transparent electrodes were prepared on glass substrates at room temperature using RF/DC magnetron sputtering. Obtained multilayer structure comprising TIZO/Ag/TIZO (10 nm/10 nm/40 nm) with the total thickness of 60 nm showed a transmittance of 86.5% at 650 nm and a sheet resistance of 8.1 Ω/□. The multilayer films were expected to be applicable for use in energy-saving smart window based on polymer-dispersed liquid crystal (PDLC) because of their transmittance properties to effectively block infrared rays (heat rays). We investigated the effects of the content ratio of prepolymer, the thickness of the PDLC coating layer, and the ultraviolet (UV) light intensity on electro-optical properties, and the surface morphology of polyester acrylate-based PDLC systems using new TIZO/Ag/TIZO transparent conducting electrodes. A PDLC cell with a thickness of 15 ㎛ PDLC layer photocured at an UV intensity of 1.5 mW/cm² exhibited good driving voltage, favorable on-state transmittance, and excellent off-haze. The LC droplets formed on the surface of the polymer matrix of the PDLC composite had a size range of 1 to 3 ㎛ capable of efficiently scattering incident light. Also, the PDLC-based smart window manufactured using TIZO/Ag/TIZO multi-layered transparent electrodes in this study exhibited a light brown, which will have an advantage in terms of aesthetics.
