Inspired by small insects, which perform rapid and stable locomotion based on body softness and tripod gait, various milli-scale six-legged crawling robots were developed to move rapidly in harsh environment. In particular, cockroach's leg compliance was resembled to enhance the locomotion performance of the crawling robots. In this paper, we investigated the effects of changing leg compliance for the locomotion performance of the small light weight legged crawling robot under various payload condition. First, we developed robust milli-scale six-leg crawling robot which actuated by one motor and fabricated in SCM method with light and soft material. Using this robot platform, we measured the running velocity of the robot depending on the leg stiffness and payload. In result, there was optimal range of the leg stiffness enhancing the locomotion ability at each payload condition in the experiment. It suggests that the performance of the crawling robot can be improved by adjusting stiffness of the legs in given payload condition.

In semiconductor devices, Cu has been used for the formation of multilevel metal interconnects by the damascene technique. Also lower dielectric constant materials is needed for the below 65 nm technology node. However, the low-k materials has porous structure and they can be easily damaged by high down pressure during conventional CMP. Also, Cu surface are vulnerable to have surface scratches by abrasive particles in CMP slurry. In order to overcome these technical difficulties in CMP, electro-chemical mechanical planarization (ECMP) has been introduced. ECMP uses abrasive free electrolyte, soft pad and low down-force. Especially, electrolyte is an important process factor in ECMP. The purpose of this study was to characterize KOH and $KNO_3$ based electrolytes on electro-chemical mechanical. planarization. Also, the effect of additives such as an organic acid and oxidizer on ECMP behavior was investigated. The removal rate and static etch rate were measured to evaluate the effect of electro chemical reaction.

Using the favorable resorption behavior of amorphous Calcium phosphate (CaP) we fabricated a gelatin basednano fibrous mat by electrospinning for using as a fast healing patch for minorbone defects. Bone is predominantly formed by an inorganic phase of nano-crystalline HAp materials and nano fibrous protein material of collagen. The osteoblast cells, which are the bone formation cells and are key to the new bone formation, receive these materials to form new bone. Taking these considerations we make a new nano fibrous mat of amorphous CaP and gelatin, which is derived from collagen itself. A polymer carrier of poly caprolactone(PCL) was used in the system to stabilize the materials in biological condition. The electrospinning conditions were optimized for smooth mat without any droplet formation. The fabricated mat was characterized for its morphologyby SEM. Mechanical properties like tensile strength was evaluated. To investigate the bio-compatibility we performed the MTT assay and investigated its resorption behavior and apatite formation behavior by SBF immersion.

Synthesis of the fluorescent Au nanoclusters is reported. The Au nanoclusters were synthesized via reduction of gold ions in reverse micelles with mild reducing agents. The Au nanoclusters show a bright red emission at 640 nm. The fluorescent Au nanoclusters attract great interest for sensor, electronic device and bio-imaging applications because of ultra-small size, high chemical stablity and bright emission. We believe that the fluorescent Au nanoclusters can have optoelectronic applications such as optical down conversion phosphors.

IPMC(Ionic Polymer-Metal Composite) is promising candidate material for bio-related actuators mainly due to its biocompatibility and wet and soft properties. The widely used commercialized Nafion film has a few kinds of fixed thicknesses but more various film thicknesses are required for extensive applications. Especially for the enhanced force as an actuator, the thick film is essential. Various Nafion films with thickness of 0.4-1.2mm have been prepared by casting of liquid Nafion. Also, IPMC actuators using casted Nafion films have been fabricated and the basic mechanical properties such as stiffness, displacement and force were measured and analyzed. These results can be used for the optimized design of actuators for different applications.

The mechanical study on the anterior and posterior cruciate ligament(ACL, PCL) is of importance because the recent increase of outdoor and indoor activities is directly related to causing sport injuries on the knee joints. Constitutive models for many biological tissues have been known as hyperelasticitic models. The elastic behavior of ACL and PCL may be described by the free energy function which accounts for the matrix and the collagen fibers. This paper addresses a comparison of different types of the free energy function to the existing results.

A conventional silica gel/water adsorption chiller has been analyzed numerically. A novel non-dimensional mathematical model has been presented to analyze the design effect of different components of an adsorption chiller. The design parameters of this system are characterized by the number of transfer unit, NTU, of different components and the inert material alpha number, ${\alpha}$of different components of the systems. Results show that condenser NTU$\sub$a/ has the most influential effect on the system performance, which is fellowed by absorber NTU$\sub$e/. It is also seen that coefficient of performance (COP) and non-dimensional specific cooling capacity increases with the increase of NTU$\sub$a/ and NTU$\sub$e/, but decreases with the increase of inert material alpha number. A thermo-economic data of the adsorption chiller and some other heat pump systems those are in practical operation are also presented.

The objective of this research was to investigate the possibility of using rice husk flour as a partial substitute for the wood particles used as the raw material for manufacturing particleboards, by examining the physical and mechanical properties of the rice husk flour-wood particleboard as a function of the type of urea-formaldehyde resin used. Commercial wood particles and two types of rice husk flours (A type (30 ㎛), B type (300 ㎛)) were used. E₁ and E₂ class urea-formaldehyde resin was used as the composite binder, combined with 10 wt.% NH₄Cl solution as a hardener. Rice husk flour-wood particleboards with dimensions of 27×27×0.7 (cm) were manufactured at a specific gravity of 0.7 with rice husk flour contents of 0, 5, 10, and 15 (wt.%). We examined the physical properties (specific gravity and moisture content), mechanical properties (three point bending strength and internal bonding) of the composite. In general, it can be concluded that composites made from rice husk flours are of somewhat poorer quality than those made from wood; however, blending in small amounts of rice husk flour (e.g., 5% to 10% by weight) may have no significant impact on quality.

본 연구에서는 광학적 방법으로 곡면변형률을 측정하고자 할 때, 소재 표면이 임의의 곡면이거나 요철이 많은 경우, 부식이나 오염으로 표면이 불량한 경우, 그리고 고무나 폼, 생체 조직 등과 같이 규칙적인 격자망을 인쇄하기 어려운 경우에도 적용할 수 있는 자동 곡면변형률 측정시스템 'ASIAS-bio'를 개발하였다. 이 시스템은 시편의 재질과 표면상태, 격자 패턴과 크기, 격자 마킹 방법, 변형 정도 등 측정 조건에 관계없이 사용이 가능한 것이 특징이다. 우선 그 신뢰성을 평가하기 위하여 금속판재 성형제품의 변형률 분포를 상용 장비로 측정한 결과와 비교하였다. 또한, 돼지 어깨 관절막, 인체 무릎 피부 등 연질 생체 조직의 변형 측정에 적용함으로써 본 시스템의 유용성을 확인하였다.

현대인들은 실내에서 보내는 시간이 하루 중 90% 달하는 것을 간주할 때 실내의 공기는 현대에게 중요한 요소임을 알 수 있다. 1960년대 이후로 산업이 급격히 발전하면서 건축 재료는 천연재료에서 화학물질을 기본으로 하는 재료로 변하게 되고 에너지 절약의 대책으로 건물의 기밀도를 높임으로써 건축자재에서 발생하는 유해물질이 현대인에게 악영향을 미치기 시작했고 이런 요소들이 근원이 되어 새집증후군을 유발하게 되었다. 생활수준이 높아지면서 사람들은 건강에 대한 관심도 높아지게 되고 보다 유익한 친환경 건축자재를 요구하게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 황토, 물, 수지, 경화제, 무기물 충전제를 이용한 친환경 황토 마감재를 개발하였고 한국형 목조 주택 내장벽에 사용할 수 있는 최적의 비율을 연구하였다. 그리고 이런 황토 마감재가 실내벽에 사용 시 요구물성인 내잔갈림성, 내세척성, 내충격성, 부착강도를 측정하였고 황토마감재의 특성인 원적외선 실험과 포름알데히드, TVOC 방산 농도를 통하여 친환경성에 대한 평가를 하였다.
