We proposed a new process to fabricate a high-aspect-ratio microhair having surface wrinkles using the contact-and-tension of a microstamp. Through this work, we observed that regular surface wrinkles were generated on the hair with a diameter of around $20{\mu}m$ due to the uni-directional compressive stress during the photocuring process by ultraviolet light. To do this, we conducted an experimental system setup for contact-and-tension process. From the preliminary test results, we believed that the proposed method can be applied to make a long polymer hair having surface wrinkles for special applications to biomimetics, and some research fields related on surface area such as heat transfer and catalyst enhancement.

Laser Transmission Joining (LTJ) of plastics is a process in which light of suitable wavelength is transmitted through a transparent substrate that is in contact with an absorbing one. In this paper, LTJ is investigated by preliminary experiments from the viewpoint of mechanical engineering. To understand transmitting characteristics of each polymer substrate, transmission rate, reflection rate and absorption coefficient of polymer are measured by using a laser power-meter. Characteristics of joining in the spot welding and seam welding are investigated by measuring the fracture load. Fracture load increases in accordance to the laser power and irradiation time. However, when the laser power is over 60W and irradiation time over 4seconds, fracture load decreases. This phenomenon is probably due to heat-softening of materials. Besides, cavities are generated at a joint by evaporation of water molecules, which can be suppressed by introduction of a gap between two substrates.

Heat transfer equation is first reviewed and then governing equation of moisture diffusion. Analogy scheme is applied to analysis the moisture absorption problem of polymers. It make possible to numerically analyze the diffusion problem for single medium by using commercial finite element code if it is under the isothermal loading condition. It is extended to special multimaterial system by introducing pressure ratio function, whose moisture characteristics of materials are proportional to temperature only. The weight changes of silicon-nonconductive-polymer joint model due to moisture absorption is measured and been very close to the numerical results as for single media with boundary condition with zero concentration, but yields numerical errors as for multisystem media.

Polycarbonate (PC) and Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) was welded through a combination of a diode laser and CNC. Laser beam passed the transparent PC and was absorbed in an opaque ABS. Polymers were melted and welded by absorbed and conducted heat. Experiments were carried out by varying working distance from 44mm to 50mm for the focus spot diameter control, laser input power from 10W to 25W, and scanning speed from 100 to 400mm/min. The weld bead size and the specimen cross-section were analyzed, and tensile results were presented through the joint force measurement. With focus distance at 48mm, laser power with 20W, and welding speed at 300mm/min, experimental results showed the best welding quality which bead size was 3.75mm and the shear strength was $22.8N/mm^2$. Considering tensile strength of ABS is $43N/mm^2$, shear strength was sufficient to hold two materials. A single process was possible in CNC machining processes, surface processing, hole machining and welding. As a result, the process cycle time was reduced to 25%. Compared to a typical process, specimens were fabricated in a single process, with high precision. By combining two operations processes developed process gained 50% more efficiency.

In this thesis, the fatigue tests were performed on a series of R /C beams repaired with co& crete-lmlyrner composites to investigate the fatigue bahavior. The three point loading system is used in the fatigue tests. In these tests, relations between the repeated loading cycles and mid-span deflections, number of repeated loading cycles when repaired beams were fractured, the bonding performance of repair materials were observed. On this basis, the mid-span deflections, the crack growth and failure mode of repaired R /C beams were studied. A S-N curve was drawn to present the fatigue strength of repaired beams. From the test results, it was shown that behavior of R /C beams repaired with polymer-cement series were very sirnillar to control beam about bonding performance, mid-span deflections and fatigue strength according to S-N curve drawn by the regression anlysis on the fatigue test results.

유비쿼터스 시대를 맞이하여 현재의 전자제품은 초고주파 환경에서의 소형화된 마이크로파 소자를 요구하고 있다. 마이크로파 대역에서 세라믹 소재는 대부분의 폴리머 소재에 비해 낮은 유전손실 값을 보이고 있어 향후 확대되는 고주파화에 적합한 소재로 평가되고 있다. 하지만 세라믹 재료는 깨지기 쉬운 특성을 가지고 있어 공정 및 취급이 어려우며 높은 소결온도를 가지고 있어 융점이 낮은 재료와의 집적화에 있어서 난점을 가지고 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구실에서는 실온에서 세라믹을 비롯한 금속 및 폴리머 재료의 치밀한 코팅막의 성막 및 이종 접합이 가능한 Aerosol Deposition (AD 법)에 주목하였고 마이크로파 소자 제작 공정으로서 AD 법의 응용 가능성을 연구하였다. 마이크로파 소자의 기판으로서는 AD 법을 이용하여 유전손실이 낮고 플렉서블한 $Al_2O_3$-PTFE 혼합 기판을 제작하고 적용하였다. 금속 선로 패터닝 제작 공정으로는 도금법이 대표적이지만 고비용 및 복잡한 공정 절차, 폐화학용액으로 인한 환경문제 등의 단점을 지니고 있어 이를 대체하는 금속 선로 패터닝 공정이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 AD 법을 이용하여 금속 필름을 제작하고 대체 공정으로서의 가능성을 확인하였다. 하지만 AD 법을 이용한 세라믹 필름 제작에 관한 연구는 크게 활성화되어 있는 반면에 금속 필름의 제작, 특성 측정 및 개선에 관한 연구는 그에 비해 미비한 수준이다. 이를 위해 이번 연구에서는 AD 법을 이용하여 금속 필름을 성막 시에 영향을 미치는 요인을 고찰하였으며 또한 마이크로파 소자의 도체 손실에 크게 관계되는 금속 필름의 비저항 특성의 측정 및 개선에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 정전장 시뮬레이션을 활용하여 AD 법으로 성막된 금속 필름의 정밀한 비저항 측정에 관한 연구방법을 마련하고 후열처리를 통한 비저항 특성을 개선시키는 연구를 진행하였다.

Polymers, polymer compounds, are very moldable at low temperatures and have good strength against weight, and hence, are often used in the interior and exterior materials of cars. Owing to the increasing environmental problems, emission regulations have become stricter, which has increased the use of lightweight polymers as substitutes for metal materials. Therefore, as the use of polymer increases, extensive research is being conducted on the bonding technology of polymers, such as polyurethane and epoxy. However, the increased cost and environmental pollution by adhesives caused by the polymer manufacturing plant depend on the chemical composition or the manufacturer's mix ratio. To compensate for this issue, a laser beam is irradiated through a highly permeable polymer (PC) placed on top of an absorbent polymer (ABS) to transfer the laser output to the ABS polymer and fuse them at the interface. Moreover, enabling laser penetrating bonding by placing a stainless steel wire mesh between the two polymers can achieve improved bonding strength compared to conventional heterogeneous polymer bonding.

A variety of experiments concerning the development of ideal prosthetic grafts for correcting circumferential tracheal defects have been performed. The requirements for an ideal tracheal prosthesis are impermeability to air, consistency to prevent collapse, and acceptance by the host tissue causing a minimum inflammatory reaction, allowing fibroblastic infiltration and epithelialization. The synthetic material, polyurethane(PU), is known as a biocompatible polymer with an inert component. In this study, the tracheal prosthesis was made from microporous PU(30 micrometer in diameter) coated with gelatin and reinforced with isoplastic rings. This procedure provides the prosthesis with a compression strength. The out side diame er of the prosthesis was 20 mm with a length of 30 mm. The gelatin used in the study was obtained from pig skin and immobilized and cross-linked by irradiation(60 Co gamma ray) to promote host tissue incorporation and render the prosthesis epithelization after implantation. Animal experiments using 10 mongrel dogs were performed to compare three kinds of prosthesis; gelatin coated polyurethane graft, uncoated polyurethane graft, and prosthesisf pericadium complex graft. After 6 weeks of implantation, the epithelialization of implants was seen on the gelatin-coated and prosthesisfpericadium complex grafts. Implanted prosthesis were complicated by airway obstruction due to anastomosis granuloma. Early tracheal stenosis was found in the uncoated graft group. Two kind of anastomosis techniques were tested on the gelatin-coated prosthesis. Everted anastomosis resulted severe granuloma than the inverted anastomosis. In the prosthesislpericadium complex graft, bacteria and inflammation at a anastomotic site was found. Based on these results, gelatin coated porous polyurethane trachea prosthesis is biocompatible and may be useful in clinical application with further investigation.
