Superhydrophobic micro-nano hybrid structures were fabricated by reactive ion etching of hydrophobic polymer micro patterns using gold nanoparticles as etch masks. Micro structures of perfluoropolyether bisurethane methacrylate (PFPE) were prepared by soft-lithographic technique using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) molds. Water contact angles on the surfaces of various PFPE micro structures and corresponding micro-nano hybrid structures were compared to examine the effects of micro patterning and nanostructure formation in the manifestation of superhydrophobicity. The PFPE micro-nano hybrid structures exhibited a very stable superhydrophobicity, while the micro-only structures could not reach the superhydrophobicity but only showed the unstable hydrophobicity.

The shear behavior at the particle/surface interface such as rock joint can determine the mechanical behavior of whole structure. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms governing its behavior and accurately estimation of the interface strength is essential. In this paper, PFC, a numerical analysis program of discrete element method was used to investigate the effects of the surface roughness on interface strength. The surface roughness was characterized by smooth, intermediate, and rough surface, respectively. In order to investigate the effects of particle shape and crushing on particle/surface interface behavior, one ball, clump, and cluster models were created and their results were compared. The shape of particle was characterized by circle, triangle, square, and rectangle, respectively. The results showed that as the surface roughness increases, interface strength and friction angle increase and the void ratio increases. The one ball model with smooth surface shows lower interface strength and friction angle than the clump model with irregular surface. In addition, a cluster model has less interface strength and friction angle than the clump model. The failure envelope of the cluster model shows non-linear characteristic. From these findings, it is verified that the surface roughness and particle shape effect on the particle/surface interface shear behavior.

$150^{\circ}$ 이상의 접촉각을 가지는 초소수성 표면은 self-cleaning, anti-fingerprint, anti-contamination 등의 특성을 가지므로 전자, 도료, 자동차 등 다양한 산업에서 활용될 수 있다. 재료 표면의 친/소수성은 물리적 요인과 화학적 요인 두 가지 요인을 조절함으로써 제어할 수 있다. 즉, 표면의 거칠기를 크게 하거나 표면에너지를 낮춰줌으로써 초소수성 표면을 구현할 수 있다. 실리카는 자연계에 매우 풍부하게 존재하고 있으며, 생체무해하며 내구성과 내마모성, 화학적 안정성, 고온 안정성 등을 지니고 있어 박막소재로 이용하기에 우수한 특징을 지니고 있다. 이러한 실리카 초소수성 코팅층을 형성하는 방법으로 본 연구에서는 전기분무법으로 마이크로 크기의 실리카 입자로 형성된 코팅층을 형성하였다. 이러한 마이크로 구조의 표면거칠기를 더욱 높이기 위하여 금 나노입자를 부가적으로 형성시켜 마이크로-나노구조 혼성의 계층구조를 만들고자 하였다. 금 나노입자는 자외선 조사 광환원법을 사용하였고, 이러한 계층구조에 플루오린 처리를 하여 계층구조 초소수성 코팅층을 형성하였다. 계층구조를 가지는 실리카 코팅층은 물 이외에 표면장력이 낮은 용액에서도 높은 접촉각을 보였고, 이러한 코팅층의 고온 안정성과 내구성, UV 저항성 등을 조사하여 실제 응용 가능성을 검토하였다.

The shear behavior at the particle/surface interface such as rock joint can determine the mechanical behavior of whole structure. Therefore, a fundamental understanding of the mechanisms governing its behavior and accurately estimation of the interface strength is essential. In this paper, PFC, a numerical analysis program of discrete element method was used to investigate the effects of the surface roughness crushing on interface strength. The surface roughness was characterized by smooth, intermediate, and rough surface, respectively. Particle shape was classified into one ball model of circular shape and 3 ball model of triangular shape. The surface shape was modelled by wall model of non-crushing surface and ball model of crushing surface. The results showed that as the bonding strength of ball model decreases, lower interface strength is induced. After the surface roughness crushing was occurred, the interface strength tended to converge and higher bonding strength induced lower surface roughness crushing. Higher friction angle was induced in wall model and higher surface roughness induced the higher friction angle. From these findings, it is verified that the surface roughness and surface roughness crushing effect on the particle/surface interface shear behavior.

A fabric of soil media may change due to certain factors such as dissolution of soluble particles, desiccation, and cementation. The fabric changes affect the mechanical behavior of soils. The purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of geo-material dissolution on shear strength. Experiments and numerical simulations are carried out by using a conventional direct shear and the discrete element method. The dissolution specimens are prepared with different volumetric salt fraction in sand soils. The dissolution of the specimens is implemented by saturating the salt-sand mixtures at different confining stresses in the experimental study or reducing the sizes of soluble particles in the numerical simulations. Experimental results show that the angle of shearing resistance decreases with the increase in the soluble particle content and the shearing behavior changes from dilative to contractive behavior. The numerical simulations exhibit that macro-behavior matches well with the experimental results. From the microscopic point of view, the particle dissolution produces a new fabric with the increase of local void, the reduction of contact number, the increase of shear contact forces, and the anisotropy of contact force chains compared with the initial fabric. The shearing behavior of the mixture after the particle dissolution is attributed to the above micro-behavior changes. This study demonstrates that the reduction of shearing resistance of geo-material dissolution should be considered during the design and construction of the foundation and earth-structures.

This paper presents a particle-structure collision model for topology optimization, which requires sensitivity analysis. Therefore, a new model that incorporates sensitivity analysis is needed. The proposed particle-structure collision model conducts sensitivity analysis for topology optimization. To evaluate the accuracy of the proposed model, it was applied to a simplified one-dimensional collision problem. Optimization of the final positions of particles using topology optimization through this model confirmed the suitability of the proposed approach. These results demonstrate that it is possible to consider particle-structure collision in topology optimization.

수 십 ∼ 수 마이크로 크기의 미세 입자에 강하게 집속된 빔을 산란시키게 되면 입자들은 운동량의 변화에 따라 광의 초점부근에서 포획되는 힘을 받게 된다. 이런 힘은 scattering force와 gradient force로 구분할 수 있고, Optical tweezers는 광의 gradient force를 이용하여 미세입자를 포획하고 조작하는 기술이다. 광에 의해 물리적인 접촉 없이 입자를 포획할 수 있다는 사실로부터 optical tweezers는 생물학을 비롯한 많은 분야에서 유용한 도구로 사용되어지고 있다. (중략)

In the food process, twist screen is widely used to divide particles on the basis of size. As screen equipped in the twist screen perfoms an important part in the particle size distribution mechanism, the contact area of screen and particles, retention time of particles on the screen, mesh and string thickness of screen and the flow pattern of particles on the screen are major points of the separation efficiency. To improve the separation efficiency, increase the retention time and control the flow pattern of particles, screen frame dam and spiral blockage are installed on the sieve of twist screen ${\emptyset}$ 1200 and ${\emptyset}$ 1500. Twist screen ${\emptyset}$ 1500 with frame dam treated similar separation capacity, 37% higher separation ratio and less non-separated particles of product output 1 than general twist screen. Twist screens with frame dam and spiral blockage showed less treatment capacity, three times higher division ratio and entire separation than general twist screen.
