인공관절은 노인성 질환이나 자가 면역질환, 신체적인 외상 등으로 인하여 발생하는 관절의 손상 부위를 대체하기 위하여 고안된 관절의 인공 대용물이다. 인공 관절 중 인공 고관절의 경우 라이너(Liner)와 헤드(Head) 부분이 직접적인 마모 운동을 수행하게 되므로, 이 부분의 소재 특성에 따라 인공관절의 수명이 결정 되게 된다. 현재 헤드 소재로서는 Co-Cr-Mo 합금이, 라이너 소재로서는 고분자 소재인 UHMWPE (Ultra High Molecular Weight Polyethylene)가 주로 사용되고 있다. 이러한 MOP (Metal-On-Polymer) 구조의 인공관절의 경우, 충격흡수의 장점이 있는 반면, 관절 운동시 발생하는 UHMWPE 의wear debris에 의해 골용해가 발생하게 되어 인공관절의 수명이 저하되는 문제점이 있으며, 금속 헤드의 마모로 인한 금속이온의 용출은 세포 독성의 문제를 야기하여 인공관절의 수명을 저하시키는 또 다른 원인이 되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 PIII&D (Plasma Immersion Ion Implantation & Deposition) 공정을 이용하여 금속 (Co-Cr-Mo 합금)소재 위에 세라믹 (niobium nitride) 박막을 증착하여 상대재인 UHMWPE의 마모를 줄이고자 하는 연구를 진행하였다. 금속 소재 위에 증착된 세라믹 박막은 상대재인 UHMWPE의 마모량을 줄여줄 뿐만 아니라 금속이온의 용출을 막아준다는 장점이 있으나, 장시간의 마모 운동에 의하여 발생하는 박막의 박리 현상은 인공관절의 수명을 급격히 저하시키는 또 다른 원인이 된다. 이러한 단점을 해결하기 위하여, 박막의 증착 초기에 이온주입과 증착을 동시에 수행하는 dynamic ion mixing공정을 수행하였다. Dynamic ion mixing 공정을 수행함에 따라 박막과 금속 사이의 접착력이 증가하게 되어, UHMWPE의 마모량이 2배 가까이 감소하는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 장시간의 마모시험에서도 우수한 결과를 얻을 수 있었다. 또한 UHMWPE의 마모량을 감소시키기 위하여 박막을 증착하기 전에 금속 소재에 질소 이온주입을 수행하는 pre-ion implantation 공정을 도입하였다. 질소 이온주입 결과 Co-Cr-Mo 합금 표면에 부분적으로 CrN, Cr2N의 세라믹 상이 형성 되는 것을 확인할 수 있었으며, 그에 따라 UHMWPE의 마모량이 2배 이상 감소 되는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다.

Ion concentration polarization (ICP) is one of the essential important mechanisms for biomolecule preconcentration devices as well as a fundamental transport phenomenon found in electrodialysis, electrochemical cell, etc. The ICP triggered by externally applied voltage enables the biomolecular analyte to be preconcentrated at an arbitrary position by a locally amplified electric field inside the microchannel. Conventional preconcentration methodologies using the ICP have two limitations: uncertain equilibrium position and hydrodynamic instability of preconcentration plug. In this work, a new preconcentration method in the dead-end microchannel around cation exchange membrane was numerically studied to resolve the limitations. As a result, the numerical model showed that the analyte was concentrated at a shock front developed in a geometrically confined dead-end channel. Furthermore, the electrokinetic behaviors for preconcentration dynamics were analyzed by changing microchannel's applied voltage and volumetric charge concentration of microchannel as key parameters to describe the dynamics. This work would provide an effective means for a point-of-care platform that requires ultra-fast preconcentration method.

Lithium-ion battery has been used for lots of electronic devices. With the popularization of batteries, researchers have focused on batteries' electrochemical performances by environmental conditions, such as temperature, vibration, shock and charging state. Meanwhile, due to very serious global warming, car companies have started using lithium-ion batteries even in cars, replacing internal combustion engines. However, batteries have been developed based on non-moving systems which is totally different from vehicles. In the line of the differences, researchers have tried to reveal relationship between variables from dynamic systems and batteries. In this review, we discuss the comprehensive effect of vibration and shock on batteries. We firstly summarize vibration profiles and effect of normal vibration on batteries. We also sum up effect of shock and penetration on batteries and introduce how ultrasound influences on batteries. Lastly, outlook for the battery design as well as dynamic design of EVs are discussed.

The improved derivatization technique of tamoxifen metabolite in human urine is described for the acylation method that they are substituted by derivatization reagent like acyl anhydride for use of gas chromatography/mass spectrometry. The hydroxyl group of tamoxifen metabolite was derivatized by trifluoroacetic anhydride (TFAA), pentafluoroacetic anhydride (PFPA) and heptaflorobutylic anhydride (HFBA). It was investigated to the gas chromatography/mass spectrometry (GC/MS) technique use negative ion chemical ionization (NCI), positive ion chemical ionization (PCI) and electron impact (EI). In acylation of the metabolites of tamoxifen, the effective reaction temperature and time were shown to be at $50^{\circ}C$ for 30 min. The 4-hydroxytamoxifen, which is known to major metabolite of tamoxifen, was not detected in human urine, whileas the hydroxymethoxytamoxifen was detected. We thought that this result was from the single dose of tamoxifen.

This works reports the measurement and analysis results on the hot electron induced device degradation in Gate-All-Around SOI MOSFET's, which were fabricated using commercially available SIMOX material. It is observed that the worst-case condition of the device degradation in nMOSFETs is $V_{GS}$ = $V_{TH}$ due to the higher impact ionization rate when the parasitic bipolar transistor action is activated. It is confirmed that the device degradation is caused by the interface state generation from the extracted degradation rate and the dynamic transconductance measurement. The drain current degradation with the stress gate voltages shows that the device degradation of pMOSFETs is dominantly governed by the trapping of hot electrons, which are generated in drain avalanche hot carrier phenomena.r phenomena.

In this work, the cure kinetics and rheological and mechanical properties of diglycidylether of bispheonol A (DGEBA, EP)/polyurethane (PU) blends were investigated. The 1 wt% N-benzylpyrazinium hexafluoroantiminate (BPH) was used as a latent thermal catalyst. Latent properties were performed by measurement of the conversion as a function of reaction temperature using DSC. And the rheological properties of the blend systems were investigated under isothermal conditions using a rheometer. Crosslinking activating energies (Ec) were also determined from the Arrhenius equation based on gel time and curing temperature. The impact strengths were measured as mechanical properties of the casting specimens. The BPH in the blend systems could be an excellent latent thermal catalyst without any co-initiator. The rheological results showed that Ec was highest when PU content was 30 wt% which was in good agreement with the impact strengths. This was probably due to the intermolecular hydrogen bonding between the hydroxyl group in PU and EP, resulting in increasing the crosslinking density.

A cylindrical secondary Li-ion cell is a device in which stored chemical energy is converted to electrical energy via an electrochemical reaction. These cells are widely used for applications that require high capacity and rate power, such as notebooks, power tools, and electric vehicles. The role of a center pin is to retain the channel for gas release, preventing blockage of the hollow of the jelly roll during a charge-discharge cycle, and to prevent an internal short circuit for tearing of separator under mechanical free fall. In this paper, two experiments are conducted with and without the center pin to experimentally verify the importance of the role of the center pin. The first experiment is a 50-cycle charge-discharge cycle test, and the second is a free fall test conducted according to the Underwriters Laboratories (UL) standards. Based on these experiments, we demonstrate that the center pin in a cylindrical cell is a very important component in terms of safety.

Two dimensional simulation results of a capacitively coupled oxygen plasma in a cylindrical reactor geometry are presented. Detailed electron impact reaction rates, which strongly depend on electron energy, are computed from collision cross sections of electrons with $O_2$ and O. Through the coupling of a three moment plasma model with a neutral chemistry/transport model are predicted spatiotemporal distributions of both charged species (electron, $O_2{^+}$, $O^+$, $O_2{^-}$, and $O^-$) and neutral species including ground states ($O_2$ and O) and metastables, known to play important roles in oxygen plasma, such as $O_2(a^1{\Delta}_g)$, $O_2(b^1{{\Sigma}_g}^+)$, $O(^1D)$, and $O(^1S)$. The simulation results clearly verify the existence of a double layer near sheath boundaries in the electronegative plasma.

스퍼터링 공정은 보통 수백 eV로 가속된 이온에 의한 고체 타겟으로부터 입자의 방출로서 정의할 수 있다. 스퍼터된 입자는 열에너지보다 운동에너지가 크며 박막성장은 저에너지의 입자충격, 불활성 가스이온, 타겟부터 산란된 입자에 의하여 지배된다. 본 연구는 직경 2인치의 원형 Cr 타겟을 셔터를 닫고 예비 스퍼터링 할 때 셔터(SUS 304 0.1t)가 전자기력을 받아서 기계적으로 진동하는 현상을 규명하고자 하였다. 셔터의 하단부를 챔버의 중심축에 고정시켜서 타겟과 평행하도록 수 cm 떨어뜨려서 위치한 뒤 직류 마그네트론 플라즈마를 발생시켰을 때 DC power에 따라서 각각 움직임을 동영상촬영을 진행하였고, 셔터의 중심을 실로 매달아서 자유롭게 움직일 수 있도록 한 뒤 플라즈마가 발생했을 때 기계적인 움직임을 중점적으로 관찰했다. 움직임의 차이를 비교하기 위해서 셔터의 크기를 줄여가며 일정한 DC power에서 실험을 진행했고, 자세한 관찰을 위해서 초고속카메라(210 fps)로 짧은 순간의 변화를 비교했다. 실험조건은 5, 10 mTorr, DC power 30, 40, 50, 70, 100 W, Ar 30 sccm, 셔터의 크기 10, 20, 30, 40, 50, 60 mm로 실시했다. 압력이 낮아질수록, 셔터의 크기가 작을수록, DC power가 커질수록 움직임변화가 커졌고, 진동수가 빨라지는 것을 확인했다. F=qE=ma를 통해서 실험에서 촬영한 동영상을 근거로 거리측정을 통해 실험에서 얼마의 전기장이 인가되어 있는지 예측하였다.

Accurate measurements of elastic constants are important from the view points of both science and engineering. The measurement can be viewed from scientific principle as a service tools for analyzing and improving the understanding of the nature of bondings between atoms and between ions. Also, from engineering perspective it would became an important factor to be definitely considered for the design of machinery equipments. In this investigation, two dynamic experimental methods of vibrations (acoustic method and Impulse technique method) are utilized and the results from the both methods are compared to obtain elastic constants data with a high degree of accuracy. The resonance frequencies obtained from the two methods are applied to both Euler and Timoshenko beam equations respectively, to determine the sources for possible differences.
