소재의 물리적 변형을 야기할 수 있는 구조 변화 분자에 관한 연구는 잠재적인 응용 분야가 다양하며 매우 흥미로운 분야이다. 특히, 광응답성 물질은 비접촉식 에너지 전달이 가능하여 비파괴, 국소 조사, 원격 제어가 가능하다. 본 논문에서는 광응답성 물질인 아조 발색단의 고분자 내 위치에 따른 물리적, 광학적 성질을 조사하고, 이를 수용성 젤인 폴리비닐알코올에 분산시켜 자외선-가시광선 조사에 따른 이중 안정성 거동을 조사하였다. 신축 배향된 아조벤젠 고분자에 비편광 자외선을 상온에서 조사하여 비등방성 광변형을 시연한 결과, 아조벤젠 고분자 블렌드의 물리적 변형 성능은, 이제까지 보고되었던 많은 아조벤젠 가교 액정 탄성체의 광변형 성능보다 우수한 것으로서, 곁가지 아조벤젠 고분자 필름의 $15^{\circ}$ 구부러짐 변형이 상온에서도 관찰될 정도로 매우 뛰어나며 그 변형이 가역적이었다. 이와 같이, 화학적 접근 방식보다 쉽게 얻을 수 있는 아조벤젠/고분자 블렌드 필름의 성능이 매우 우수하여, 치수 변형이 필요한 다양한 시스템에 응용할 수 있다.

Modem applications could benefit from multifunctional materials having anisotropic optical, electrical, thermal, or mechanical properties, especially when coupled with locally controlled distribution of the directional response. Such materials are difficult to engineer by conventional methods, but the electric field-aided technology presented herein is able to locally tailor electroactive composites. Applying an electric field to a polymer in its liquid state allows the orientation of chain- or fiber-like inclusions or phases from what was originally an isotropic material. Such composites can be formed from liquid solutions, melts, or mixtures of pre-polymers and cross-linking agents. Upon curing, a 'created composite' results; it consists of these 'pseudofibers' embedded in a matrix. One can also create oriented composites from embedded spheres, flakes, or fiber-like shapes in a liquid plastic. Orientation of the externally applied electric field defines the orientation of the field-aided self-assembled composites. The strength and duration of exposure of the electric field control the degree of anisotropy created. Results of electromechanical testing of these modified materials, which are relevant to sensing and actuation applications, are presented. The materials' micro/nanostructures were analyzed using microscopy and X-ray diffraction techniques.

In this paper, an electrostatic plate resonator with four corrugated bridges and another with four flat ones have been fabricated and tested by the electrostatic actuation. The resonators consist of one rigid plate and four bridges. Boron diffusion process and anisotropic etch process with EPW are mainly used to fabricate the resonators. The dynamic characteristics of the fabricated resonators are obtained by measuring the velocity of the center of the rigid plate using a laser vibrometer. The results show that the deflection of the resonator with the corrugated bridges is larger than the resonator with the flat ones. It has been confirmed that the corrugated structure releases the residual tensile stress in the bridges resulted from the diffusion process.

Effective material properties of active fiber composites with interdigitated electrodes are derived as a function of the fiber volume fraction. For the purpose of applying the rule of mixture, three unit cell models are introduced; each for the deformation and stress continuities in the out of plane and in-plane directions, and the continuity of the electrical displacement in the longitudinal direction. Derived effective material properties are compared with the results by the finite element method; good agreements are observed between them. As an application, the electromechanical behavior of the angle ply laminates with the active fiber layers bonded on the top and bottom surfaces are investigated; the angle of piezoelectric fiber to maximize the twisting curvature is obtained using the present model.

연구는 electro-active polymer(EAP)의 특성을 가지는 ion-exchange polymer metal composite(IPMC)을 이용하여 지능형 대장내시경 개발에 목적을 두고 있다. IPMC는 낮은 구동전압과 빠른 반응속도로 인하여 매우 매력적인 물질이다. 본 연구에서는 IPMC구동기의 전극을 무전의 도금 방법을 이용하여 용액함침-환원방법(impregnation-reduction method)으로 제조하였으며 코팅된 백금전극의 횟수에 따라 변위와 변화를 측정하였다. 구동특성을 알아보기 위하여 길이, 주파수에 대한 변위, 힘을 측정하였으며, 주파수 대역은 저주파 대역과 공명주파수 대역을 사용하는 것이 적합하다는 결론을 얻었다. 또한 다양한 구동적 특성과 수분의 함량에 따른 영향에 대해 고전적 적층 이론 (classical laminate theory, CLT)을 이용하여 이방성 IPMC의 응력분포와 수분이동에 따른 모멘트, 변형률, 곡률(cuvature)을 모델링 하였다.

This paper presents a linear computational homogenization framework to evaluate the effective (or generalized) electromechanical coupling coefficient (EMCC) of adaptive structures with piezoelectric structural fiber (PSF) composite elements. The PSF consists of a silicon carbide (SiC) or carbon core fiber as reinforcement to a fragile piezo-ceramic shell. For the micro-scale analysis, a micromechanics model based on the variational asymptotic method for unit cell homogenization (VAMUCH) is used to evaluate the overall electromechanical properties of the PSF composites. At the macro-scale, a finite element (FE) analysis with the commercial FE code ABAQUS is performed to evaluate the effective EMCC for structures with the PSF composite patches. The EMCC is postprocessed from free-vibrations analysis under short-circuit (SC) and open-circuit (OC) electrodes of the patches. This linear two-scale computational framework may be useful for the optimal design of active structure multi-functional composites which can be used for multi-functional applications such as structural health monitoring, power harvest, vibration sensing and control, damping, and shape control through anisotropic actuation.

We propose a lens-drive unit composed of an ionic polymer-metal composite (IPMC) for an auto-focus compact camera module in cellular phones to solve the power consumption problem of voice coil motors which are widely used in commercial products. In this research, an IPMC incorporated into a lens-drive unit is designed to implement a large displacement in low-power consumption by using an anisotropic plasma treatment. Experimental results show that a camera module containing IPMCs can control and maintain the position of the lens by using proportional integral derivative control with a photo-reflective position sensor despite the non-linear actuation behavior of IPMCs. We demonstrate that the fabrication and commercialization of a lens actuator that has a large displacement and low power consumption using IPMCs is possible in the near future.
