Recently, the disposal of used vehicle tires is a big social problem because the amount of used vehicle tires has been increased with development of' automobile industry. Many researches have been made on the recycling of used vehicle tires in the various fields of industry as well as construction industry. When the crumb rubber made of vehicle tires is mixed in cement concrete and mortar, it is indicated that the adhesive strength of interface between the crumb rubber and cement hydrates is very low. The purpose of this study is to improve the fundamental properties by increasing of the adhesion strength of styrene-butadiene rubber(SF3R) latex coated crumb rubber in ; cement mortar. SBR-modified mortar using crumb rubber is also tested as the same method. From the test results, the cement mortar using SBR latex coated crumb rubber have a good fundamental properties compared with that using uncoated crumb rubber. The mechanical properties of SBR-modified mortar using crumb rubber with polymer-cement ratios of 10% are also improved.

In this work, we developed a Nafion polymer-coated impedance sensor with two gold electrode configurations to measure the ion concentration in solution samples. The gold electrodes were fabricated through the sputtering process, followed by surface modification using Nafion polymer. The resulting sensors enable the prevention of the polarization phenomenon on the electrode surface, resulting in stable measurement of electrochemical signals. Spectroscopy and scanning electron microscopy measurements revealed that the thin film of Nafion was coated uniformly onto the surface of the gold electrode. The Nafion-coated sensor exhibited more stable impedance signals than the conventional gold electrode. It showed a highly reliable calibration curve (R² = 0.983) of the impedance sensor using a standard sodium chloride solution. In addition, a comparison experiment between the impedance sensor and a commercial conductivity sensor was performed to measure the ion concentration of artificial tears, showing similar results for the two sensors.

Rechargeable lithium-ion polymer batteries have been considered to be next-generation power sources for portable electronic devices and electric vehicles. In this work, we tried to improve the cycling performances of lithium-ion polymer cells by coating aluminum fluoride and acrylonitrile-methyl methacrylate copolymer to the polyethylene separator. It was found that the addition of aluminum fluoride to the surface-modified separator reduced the interfacial resistances and thus the cell exhibited a less capacity fading and better high rate performance. The cell showed an initial discharge capacity of 150 mAh/g and good capacity retention at 0.5 C rate.

폴리머 필름에 표면처리 및 코팅, 필름의 다층화, 원료 소재의 하이브리드화 등을 통해서 기능성을 부여한 기능성 고분자 필름은 디스플레이, 반도체, 자동차, 에너지, 포장재 등 다양한 분야에 응용되고 있다. 기능성 고분자 필름의 산업화를 위해 대면적 연속 공정기술 개발이 필요하며, 본 연구에서는 roll to roll 시스템을 이용하여 폴리머 기판상 나노 구조 형성을 위한 공정연구를 수행하였다. 재료연구소 자체 개발 선형이온소스는 0.25 keV에서 1 keV까지 에너지 조절이 용이하며, 이온빔 조사를 통해서 PET, PMMA, PDMS 등 다양한 폴리머 기판의 표면에 나노 구조화 공정을 개발하였다. 표면 나노 구조 형성을 통해서 폴리머 필름의 투과도와 Haze 제어가 가능하며, 공정 기술을 통해 저반사 및 고굴절 특성의 기능성 필름을 제작하였다. 이러한 나노 구조화 필름은 플렉서블 디스플레이의 광추출효율 향상을 위한 광추출층, 저반사 디스플레이 패널 필름 등에 적용 가능한 기술이다.

Ships and marine structures have a lot of problems in their high maintenance and operating cost by biofouling. A biofouling occurrs by the adhesion of marine microorganism, algae and bacteria. In this study, the aim is to prevent or to reduce the biofouling phenomena through silver nano-particle coating on artificial light-weight aggregates and geopolymer. The antibacterial activity on them is tested according to ASTM E2149-2013a. The test results showed, it is estimated that silver nano-particles removed 99.99 % of bacteria. Specimens were set up in the sea side of field test area in Korea Institute of Ocean Science and Technology (KIOST) and have been observed for five months. The anti-biofouling effect and difference in weight change rate have been detected two months later after the installation. Because silver nanoparticles inhibit bacterial growth and kill the cells by destroying bacterial membranes, silver nano-particle coating on artificial lightweight aggregates is a well-suited and eco-friendly method for preventing biofouling in the sea up to 5 months.

본 연구에서는 성장된 p-형의 단일벽 탄소 나노튜브 (SWCNT)와 폴리머 코팅으로 n-형 특성을 보이는 SWCNT의 접합으로 pn-접합 소자 어레이를 만들고 특성을 분석한 결과에 대해 발표하고자 한다. Y-cut quartz 기판에 0.1 nm 두께의 철 촉매 패턴을 만들고 화학기상증착법으로 잘 정렬된 SWCNT를 성장시킨 후, 열 박리 테이프 (thermal tape)을 이용하여 정렬된 나노선을 실리콘 옥사이드 기판에 전이한다. 전기적(electrical breakdown)으로 금속성의 나노선을 제거하고 p-형의 나노선 배열을 얻을 수 있다. 이 나노선에 국소적으로 폴리머 (polyethyleneimine: PEI) 코팅을 하여 n-형 특성을 갖는 나노선 패턴을 만들 수 있다. 이를 이용하여 만든 소자는 p-형과 n-형이 하나의 나노선 안에 부분적으로 존재하므로 연결부위의 접촉에 관한 문제가 전혀 없으며 소자를 만들기도 유용하다. 이렇게 준비된 p-형 나노선과 n-형 나노선의 접합에서 정류특성을 관찰하였다. 이러한 passive matrix 소자는 터치패드나 유기발광다이오드와 같은 다양한 소자에 응용 가능하다.

A polymeric arrayed waveguide grating (AWG) has been proposed and demonstrated by exploiting the nanoimprint method. A PDMS(polydimethylsiloxane) stamp with device patterns engraved was developed out of a master mold made of quartz glass. The device was fabricated by transferring the pattern in the PDMS stamp to a spin-coated polymer film without using any etching process. The device had 8 output channels, while the center wavelengths of each output channel were positioned from 1543.7 nm to 1548.3 nm with the spacing of 0.8 nm. The achieved average channel crosstalk and the 3-dB bandwidth were about 10 dB and 0.8 nm respectively.
