Poly(3-alkythiophene)은 온도에 따라 전기적 광학적인 성질의 현저한 변화가 관측되었다. poly(3-alkylthiophene)의 전기전도도는 온도가 상승함에 따라 증가하지만 최대치를 유지한 후 용융점에서 단게적으로 감소한다. 가열과 냉각과정 동안 전기전도도의 온도의존성에서 hysteresis가 관측되었다. 이 변칙은 carrier확산에 따른 분자구조 변화의 강한 영향인 것으로 생각된다. 흡수 spectrum 또한 상전이에서 급격히 변화한다. poly(3-alkylthiophene)의 흡수 peak는 액체상태에서 가열하면 energy는 높게 이동한다. 그러나 흡수 edge의 이동은 비교적 작다. 그렇지만 고체-액체 상전이에서 흡수 edge는 energy가 높은 쪽으로 이동한다. 이러한 현상은 고체-액체 상전이에서 poly(3-alkylthiophene)의 구조가 현저하게 변화하고 있는 것으로 설명되며 공역 길이가 짧게되는 것은 큰 구조 변화에 의해 공역계의 평면성 감소에 의한 결과로 생각한다.

The physical properties of freeze-dried Aloe vera gel powders were examined according to the influence of the concentration degrees of the gel solutions as raw materials during freeze-drying. As a pre-treatment prior to freeze-drying, the gel solutions were vacuum-concentrated at three concentration levels (g water/g solids): high (H), 76; medium (M), 119; and low (L), 159. The water contents of the three powder samples were almost the same. For their viscosity measurements, non-Newtonian fluid behavior with shear thinning was observed in samples H and M, whereas Newtonian liquid behavior was found in sample L. In electrical conductivity measurements, sample H showed the highest conductivity upon dissolving the powder in water. For their water sorption isotherms, sample H was analyzed to have the least amount of bound water. Finally, it was determined that the degree of concentration caused only slight differences in the physical properties of freeze-dried Aloe gel powders.

Spray cooling is a method of cooling high-temperature heating elements by spraying droplets. Recently, spray cooling has been proposed for use in next-generation nuclear reactors. When droplets are sprayed onto the outer wall of a heat exchanger tube, a film boiling occurs on the outer wall. Over time, the outer wall temperature decreases, and a liquid film forms on the outer wall, and the heat exchanger outer wall is subsequently cooled by the liquid film. In this case, the liquid film thickness has a great influence on the heat removal performance. In this study, an experimental study was conducted to measure the liquid film thickness distribution in a droplet spray environment. For this purpose, a method using the electrical conductivity of the liquid was adopted.

Polyaniline doped with ionic liquid (1,3-dimethylimidazolium methylsulfate, I-DMS) soluble in polar solvents (NMP, DMSO, DMF, m-cresol etc.) were synthesized by nucleophilic addition. Solubilities of PAN/I-DMS powder in polar solvents were observed in the range of 3~6 wt%/vol., respectively. The electrical conductivities of PAN/I-DMS films appeared in the range of $10^{-2}{\sim}7S/cm$. Polyaniline doped with I-DMS (PAN/I-DMS) showed improved thermal stability and conductivity compared to that of HCl doped polyaniline (PAN/HCl) and dimethylsulfate (DMS) doped polyaniline (PAN/DMS) upon heat treatment at $160^{\circ}C$. These improved conductivity and solubility in organic polar solvents was explained with the interactions between the polar sulfonate group and polar solvents.

Recently, as flexible electronic device-related technologies have received worldwide attention, the development of wiring and bonding technologies using liquid metals is required in order to improve problems such as formability in the manufacturing process of flexible devices and performance and durability in the bending state. In response to these needs, various studies are being conducted to use gallium and gallium-based alloys (eutectic Ga-In and eutectic Ga-In-Sn, etc.) liquid metals, with low viscosity and excellent electrical conductivity without toxicity, as low-temperature bonding materials. In this paper, the latest research trends of low-temperature bonding technology using gallium and gallium-based alloys are summarized and introduced. These technologies are expected to become important base technologies for practical use in the fields of manufacturing flexible electronic devices and low-temperature bonding in microelectronic packages in the future.

As the need for next-generation flexible electronics grows, novel materials and technologies that can replace conventional indium tin oxide (ITO) for transparent electrodes have been of great interest. Among them, a conducting polymer, especially poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) : poly(styrene sulfonate) (PEDOT : PSS) is one of the most promising candidates because it is mechanically flexible, inexpensive, and capable of being processed in solution. Currently, there are a lot of research efforts on enhancing its electrical conductivity to the level of ITO or metal electrodes through chemical and/or physical processing. In this review article, we present various additives and pre-/post-deposition processing methods for improving the electrical conductivity of PEDOT : PSS. Some of representative reports are also introduced, which demonstrated the use of conductivity-enhanced PEDOT : PSS as transparent electrodes in electronics and energy conversion.

During the last few decades, toxic chemicals used in various industries have caused global pollution and the side products such as carbon dioxide and methane gas have contributed to global warming. Thus, it is desirable to develop new alternative solvents. It is well known that ionic liquids display a variety of environmentally friendly physical properties: nonvolatile, nonflammable, wide electrochemical windows, high inherent conductivities, wide thermal operating ranges, chemically inert, and limited miscibilities with organic solvents. Because of these characteristics, ionic liquids are promising candidates as solvents for synthetic chemistries, catalysis, and gas separations. In this study, we synthesized morpholiunium salts as N-ethyl-N-methylmorpholine Bromide, N-butyl-N-methylmorpholine Bromide, N-octyl-N-methylmorpholine Bromide, N-ethyl-N-methylmorpholine Tetrafluoroborate, N-butyl-N-methylmorpholine Tetrafluoroborate, N-octyl-N-methylmorpholine Tetrafluoroborate, N-ethyl-N-methylmorpholine Hexafluorophosphate, N-butyl-N-methylmorpholine Hexafluorophosphate, and N-octyl-N-methylmorpholine Hexafluorophosphate. The melting points, decomposition temperatures and electrochemical stabilities of the salts were measured by DSC, TGA, and CV, respectively. The salts with halide anion showed high melting points ($150{\sim}200^{\circ}C$), low decomposition temperatures ($200{\sim}230^{\circ}C$), narrow electrochemical stabilities (3.4~3.6 V). The synthesized salts with inorganic anions, on the other hand, presented low melting point ($50{\sim}110^{\circ}C$), high decomposition temperatures ($250{\sim}380^{\circ}C$), wide electrochemical stabilities (6.1~6.3 V). We also found that the properties depend on the length of the carbon chain.

In this report, we fabricate the porous graphene films through embossing process and vacuum filtration method and demonstrate their superior electrochemical properties as supercapacitor electrode materials. Insertion/removal of polystyrene nanoparticles between the graphene sheets allows to provide pore structures, leading to the effective prevention of restacking in graphene films. As-prepared porous graphene films have a large surface area, a bicontinuous porous structures, high electrical conductivity, and excellent mechanical integrity. The electrochemical properties of the porous graphene films as electrode materials of supercapacitor are investigated by using aqueous $H_2SO_4$ and ionic liquid solution under three-electrode system. The porous graphene films exhibit a high specific capacitance (284.5 F/g), which is two-fold higher than that of packing graphene films (138.9 F/g). In addition, the rate capability (98.7% retention) and long-term cycling stability (97.2%) for the porous graphene films are significantly enhanced, due to the facilitated ion mobility between the graphene layers.

Recent necessities of research have emerged about soft interconnection technologies for stable electric connections in flexible electronics. Mechanical failure in conventional metal solder interconnection can be solved as soft interconnections based on a small elastic modulus and a thin thickness. To enable stable electric connection while improving mechanical properties, highly conductive materials be thinned or mixed with a material that has a small elastic modulus. Representative soft interconnection technologies such as thin-film metallization, flexible conductive adhesives, and liquid metal interconnections are presented in this paper, and be focused on mechanical/electric properties improving strategies and their applications.
