화학보호복은 독성이 있는 화학물질 및 미세분진등에 대해 공기를 차단하며 완전 밀폐형으로 공기호흡기 및 에어라인 같은 호흡보호장치와 함께 착용하여 신체부위를 보호한다. 그 예로 생물/화학보호복은 유독하고 해로운 생물/화학물질로 부터 인체를 보호해준다. 이들 보호복은 다양한 환경이 노출되어 장시간 작업을 위해서 오랜시간 보호성능을 유지해야한다. 특히, 이런 원단의 구성은 플라스틱과 고무류의 다층구조로 구성되어있다. 플라스틱류(폴리에틸렌, PTFE 등)는 표면장력이 너무 낮아 접착하는데 어려운 점이 많이 대두된다. 일반적인 표면처리방법은 크게 물리화학적 방법으로 4가지로 분류한다. 화학적산화, 불꽃처리, 플라즈마처리, UV 방사법 등이 있다. 이들 중에서 가장 간단한 산화처리는 플라즈마처리다. 이처리는 상온/상압하에서 대기 중 또는 가스내에 방전에 의해 플라즈마를 형성하고 이 플라즈마가 대상물의 표면분자와 격렬히 반응하게 하여 표면의 분자구조를 변화시킴에 따라 소수성의 표면에 Carboxyl, hydroxyl과 carbonyl과 같은 친수성으로 변하여 결합능력을 증가 시켜 표면장력을 높여주는 가장 효과적인 방법이다. 플라즈마 표면처리를 하고 나면 육안으로 표면의 변화를 감지할 수 없지만 접착, 잉크, 코팅을 잘 받아들이는 결과를 가져온다. 플라즈마 표면처리의 효과는 주로 부도체의 필름이나 합성수지 계열의 인쇄성과 접착성을 향상시키고자 많이 활용되고 있는 실정이다. 특히, 화학보호복과 같은 플라스틱류인 다양한 고분자 합성수지(Polyethylene, polypropylene, nylon, vinyl, PVC, PET 등)에 적용가능하다. 본 연구에서는 플라즈마처리조건에 영향을 주는 변수들을 고려하여 실험계획법(DOE, RSM)을 이용하여 최적화된 플라즈마 공정을 향상시키고자한다.

Smart 재료는 외부의 환경에 따라 재료 스스로 주어진 자극을 판단하여 응답할 수 있는 재료를 말한다. 기존의 재료들이 갖는 수동적 응답 기능을 넘어서 생물체처럼 환경에 반응한다는 점에서 뛰어난 특성을 가질 수 있다. 변색성 염료도 이러한 smart 재료 중의 하나로 광, 온도, 화학물질, 전기장 등의 외부 환경 조건의 변화에 따라 색상이 바뀌게 할 수 있다. 대부분의 변색성 염료는 마이크로 캡슐화하여 섬유나 필름에 부착하는 방법을 사용하는데, 이는 항상 내구성이나 안정성 등에서 문제점을 갖고 있다. (중략)

To develop chemical and biosensors, this paper studies sensing characteristics of bulk carbon nanotube (CNT) electrodes by means of their electrical impedance properties due to their large surface area and excellence chemical absorptivity. The sensors were fabricated in the form of film and nano web style by using composite process for mass production. The bulk composite electrodes were fabricated with singlewall and multi-wall carbon nanotubes based on host polymers such as Nafion and PAN, using a solution-casting and an electrospinning technique. The resistance and the capacitance of electrodes were measured with LCR meter under the various amounts of buffer solution to study the electrical impedance change properties of them. On the experimental of sensor electrode, impedance characteristics of the composite electrode are affected by its host polymer and nanofiller and its sensing response showed saturated result after applying some amounts of buffer solution for test chemical. Especially, the capacitance values showed drastic changes while the resistance values only changed within few percent range. It is deduced that the ions in the solution penetrated and diffused into the electrodes surface changed the electrical properties of the electrodes much like a doping effect.

In order to decrease the weight of stretchable energy storage devices, interest in developing lightweight materials to replace metal current collectors is increasing. In this study, nanofibers prepared by electrospinning a conductive polymer, PEDOT:PSS, were used as current collectors for lithium ion batteries. The nanofiber showed improved electrical conductivity by using DMSO, a dopant, and indicated a stretch rate of 30% or more from the elasticity evaluation result. In addition, the use of the nanofiber current collector facilitates penetration of the liquid electrolyte and exhibits the effect of increasing the electronic conductivity through the nanofiber network. The lithium-ion battery using the DMSO-doped PEDOT:PSS@PAM nanofiber current collector indicated a high discharge capacity of 135mAh g^-1, and indicated a high capacity retention rate of 73.5% after 1000 cycles. Thus, the excellent electrochemical stability and mechanical properties of conductive nanofibers showed that they can be used as lightweight current collectors for stretchable energy storage devices.

Sulfonated poly (arylene ether sulfone) (SPAES) random copolymers have merits such as high proton conductivity, relatively low production cost, and thermochemical resistance when applied as polymer electrolyte membranes for fuel cells. However, it is difficult to directly employ SPAES copolymers into practical fuel cell membrane applications owing to their low chemical stability and dimensional instability under harsh operation conditions. A plausible solution is to impregnate SPAES copolymers into support films (e.g., electrospun polyimide support) with interconnected pore structures and high thermochemical toughness. In this study, a SPAES copolymer with a swivel group, which induces high free volume for fast ion transport, is chosen as ionomers to prepare pore-filling membranes (PFMs). The feasibility of the resulting membranes is evaluated via membrane characterizations.

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.
