Graphite particle/carbon fiber hybrid conductive polymer composites were fabricated by the compression molding technique. Graphite particles were mixed with an epoxy resin to impart the electrical conductivity in the composite materials. In this study, graphite reinforced conductive polymer composites with high filler loadings were manufactured to accomplish high electrical conductivity above 100S/cm. Graphite particles were the main filler to increase the electrical conductivity of composites by direct contact between graphite particles. While high filler loadings are needed to attain good electrical conductivity, the composites becomes brittle. So carbon fiber was added to compensate weakened mechanical property. With increasing the carbon fiber loading ratio, the electrical conductivity gradually decreased because non-conducting regions were generated in the carbon fiber cluster among carbon fibers, while the flexural strength increased. In the case of carbon fiber 20wt.% of the total system, the electrical conductivity decreased 27%, whereas the flexural strength increased 12%.

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.

Conductive polyaniline (PANI) nanofibers in UV-curable resin were used for a transparent conductive film. The emeraldine-salt PANI (ES-PANI) nanofibers were prepared by chemical oxidation polymerization of aniline, which could be changed into emeraldine-base PANI by dedoping. EB-PANI nanofibers as a precursor for conductive fillers were thereby transformed into re-dpoed PANI (rES-PANI) by dodecylbenzenesulfonic acid in the UV-curable resin solution. rES-PANI nanofibers have high conductivity and long-term stability in the solution without a defect of nanostructure. The resulting conductive resin solution was proved to be highly stable where no precipitation of rES-PANI fillers was observed over a period of 3 months. The transparent film was spin-casted on a poly(methyl methacrylate) sheet of thickness ca. $5{\mu}m$. A surface resistance of $6.5{\times}10^8{\Omega}/sq$ and transmittance at 550 nm of 91.1% were obtained for the film prepared with a concentration of 1.4 wt% rES-PANI nanofibers in the solution. This transformation process of rES-PANI from ES-PANI by dedoping-redoping can be an alternative method for the preparation of an antistatic protection film with controllable surface resistance and optical transparencies with the PANI concentration in UV-curable solution.

In this research, we aimed to investigate the most optimum pulse wave sensor to ear label of live stocks among pulse wave piezo film sensor, conductive textile sensor, photo sensor. As a result of this research with application to 10 cattle, 10 pigs objects with pulse wave piezo film sensor, conductive textile sensor, photo sensor, photo sensor shows less standard deviation to average value than piezo film sensor or conductive textile sensor which means it is the most stable for the cattle. With pigs, piezo film sensor, conductive textile sensor and photo sensor all show stable pulse rate. Thus, to take pulse rate of livestock with curved body and long and dense coat such as cow, photo sensor will be considered as the most efficient mean.

고분자가 절연재료로서 사용되는 이유는 전기를 통하지 않는 절연특성을 지니고 있기 때문이며 이러한 성질은 고분자가 금속재료와 구별되는 가장 큰 특징이다. 그러나 1964년 W. A. Little 이 발표한 공액 이중결합구조를 가진 화합물은 전도성 고분자가 될 수 있다는 가설을 바탕으로 전도성 고분자에 관한 많은 연구가 진행 중에 있다. 전도성 고분자는 절연체로서의 응용에만 한정되어왔던 기존 고분자물질들과 달리 가볍고 저렴하며 단일결합과 이중결합을 교대로 하고 있는 공액 고분자 구조를 가지고 있어 다양한 화학적 합성방법에 의해 전기전도도, 유전상수, 결정 등의 물리적 성질을 조절할 수 있으며, 금속의 전기적, 자기적, 광학적 특성과 고분자의 기계적 성질을 동시에 가지므로 배터리, 축전기, 트랜지스터, 광전소자, 전자파 차폐제 등 플라스틱 전자소재의 실용적으로 인해 산업체에서도 높은 관심의 대상이다.

Recently medical and entertainment applications using conducting textile are suggested, but the data of conducting threads are not characterized, classified and verified. Only the data sheet published by manufacturing companies is available. Thus we need to verify the performances of the threading threads in communication. And we need a guideline if the existing communication protocols can be used for the conducting threads communication or the new specific communication protocols have to be developed for the communication. This paper classifies the characteristics of conducting threads made by domestic and overseas companies. Based on the criteria we classified conducting threads into three classes: class A, class B and class C. Further we carried out experiments to verify the adaptability of existing simple serial communication protocols such as RS232. Six different conducting threads are used in experiments and the length of each thread was 0.5m, 1m, 2m and 3m. The data transmission rate and error rate are collected and analyzed. RS485 is very prone to error due to static electricity from human and environment. So it may not be appropriate as long-distance communication protocol up to 12km which is possible in theory. RS232 shows stable and error-less data transmission ability even though every conducting thread didn’t show transmission capability over RS232. USB protocol shows high data rate transmission but the distance cannot be exceeded over 2m. Additionally, USB requires stable power supply. But if the power is supplied through conducting thread, its function is not.
