Soft-pressure sensors have numerous applications in soft robotics, biomedical devices, and wearable smart devices. Herein, we present a highly sensitive electronic skin device with an isotropic wrinkled pressure sensor. A conductive ink for soft pressure sensors is produced by a solution process using polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS), poly 3-hexylthiophene (P3HT), carbon black, and chloroform as the solvents. P3HT provides high reproducibility and conductivity by improving the ink dispersibility. The conductivity of the ink is optimized by adjusting the composition of the carbon black and PDMS. Soft lithography is used to fabricate a conductive elastic structure with an isotropic wrinkled structure. Two conductive elastic structures with an isotropic wrinkle structure is stacked to develop a pressure sensor, and it is confirmed that the isotropic wrinkle structure is more sensitive to pressure than when two elastic structures with an anisotropic wrinkle structure are overlapped. Specifically, the pressure sensor fabricated with an isotropic wrinkled structure can detect extremely low pressures (1.25 Pa). Additionally, the sensor has a high sensitivity of 15.547 kpa^-1 from 1.25 to 2500 Pa and a linear sensitivity of 5.15 kPa^-1 from 2500 Pa to 25 kPa.

The modified surface of specialty carbon black(SCB) is one of the main technical factors for producing a uniform color and stable dispersion. In this work, the carboxylation or sulfonation process of SCB was used to improve the dispersive properties of hydrophilic solvents such as 1,6-hexanediol and propylene glycol monomethyl ether acetate(PGMEA). The results showed that the color strength of SCB DC2500G changed little with a range of 0.128~0.941(${\Delta}E$) compared to other SCB DC2500G material. In contrast, in the case of SCB EG410, there was a uniform color value with a range of 0.144~0.252(${\Delta}E$). Also, in our experiments, a modified SCB was confirmed by printing ink material as a melt coating paper. It may be possible that the SCB EG410 material can be advantageous as a gravure ink product. Finally, the modified SCB obtained from this research will have a large impact on the industry as a potential material for toners, paint, rubber, fillers, and other carbon black additives.

In this paper, we design a perceptually invisible dot pattern layout and its recognition scheme, and we apply the recognition scheme into a smart self learning aid for interactive learning aid. To increase maximum information capacity and also increase robustness to the noises, we design a ECC (error correcting code) based dot pattern with directional vector indicator. To make a smart self-learning aid, we embed the micro dot pattern (20 information bit + 15 ECC bits + 9 layout information bit) using K ink (CMYK) and extract the dot pattern using IR (infrared) LED and IR filter based camera, which is embedded in the smart pen. The reason we use K ink is that K ink is a carbon based ink in nature, and carbon is easily recognized with IR even without light. After acquiring IR camera images for the dot patterns, we perform layout adjustment using the 9 layout information bit, and extract 20 information bits from 35 data bits which is composed of 20 information bits and 15 ECC bits. To embed and extract information bits, we use topology based dot pattern recognition scheme which is robust to geometric distortion which is very usual in camera based recognition scheme. Topology based pattern recognition traces next information bit symbols using topological distance measurement from the pivot information bit. We implemented and experimented with sample patterns, and it shows that we can achieve almost 99% recognition for our embedding patterns.

In this paper, we describe the fabrication of nano-scale ink particles with narrow size distribution to offer high optical density in electrophoretic display applications. Charged white ($TiO_2$ and polyester) and black (carbon black and polyester) nano size ink particles in size range of 200 ~ 700nm were made successively using modified non-aqueous base emulsion process. The EPD showed white reflectance of 58% and saturation voltage of ${\pm}10V$.

Recently, field emission emitters made by carbon nanotubes(CNTs) and ink-jet method have been extensively studied due to their low cost, little limitation of size and a high resolution. When CNT emitters are operated, a few highly protruded ones generate most of the emission currents that cause spatial nonuniformity. In this study, we applied selective oxidation to solve this problem on ink-jet printed CNT emitters. Consequently, O2 exposures to field emitting CNT arrays give rise to a permanent damage selectively on the highly emitting CNTs. In spite of turn-on field increase, emission images was showed remarkably uniform after oxygen trimming.

위치 감응형 전극 네트워크(addressable conducting network, ACN)는 탄소섬유 복합재료와 전극 사이의 접촉저항을 통해 구조물의 손상 감지가 가능하다. 손상 감지를 위한 위치 감응형 전극 네트워크의 신뢰성을 향상시키기 위해서는 전극과 복합재료 사이의 접촉저항이 최소화되어야 한다. 본 연구에서는 은 나노 전극을 탄소섬유 복합재료 위에 인쇄전자기술을 이용하여 제작하였다. 은 전극이 형성된 복합재료는 은 나노 잉크의 소결온도와 복합재료의 표면거칠기에 따라 제작되었으며, 이에 따른 접촉저항을 측정하였다. 또한, 전자주사현미경(scanning electron microscope, SEM)을 통해 전극과 복합재료 사이의 계면을 관찰하였다. 본 연구를 통해, 은 나노 잉크의 소결온도가 $120^{\circ}C$, 복합재료의 표면거칠기가 0.230a일 때, $0.3664{\Omega}$의 최소 접촉저항을 나타냈다.

Reproduction of antique document is of importance with the concept of sharing the their contents and original aspects in terms of textual and artistic message. 'Pine tree ink stick' and 'Oil ink stick' are greatly enjoyed in their uses in the most written documentary works. Thus, it is said that the approach of this study has implied considerable meanings to cultural aspects. In this work, we have performed to investigate the reproduction and restoration study for antique documents. With comparison and analysis of some types of "ink stick", we have prepared several ink samples, controlling viscosity, surfactant, thickness agent, and applied these inks to the target antique document. Several reproduced samples showed a practical application possibility in terms of reproduction and restoration.

In this study, I developed a simple and low cost process-printing a silver, carbon, dielectric, adhesive layer on PET films using screen printing technology and bonding the two films face-to-face-to fabricate a low price capacitive pressure-mapping sensor. Both electrodes forming the pressure measuring capacitor are arranged between the two PET films similar to a sandwich. Therefore, the sensor has the advantage of minimizing the influence of external noise. In this study, a $10{\times}10$ capacitance-type pressure-mapping sensor was fabricated and its characteristics were analyzed.

Carbon composites for flexible fiber heating element were examined to improve the electrical conductivity in this study. Carbon composites using carbon black, denka black, super-c, super-p with/without CNF or dispersant such as BCS03 and Sikament-nn were prepared. Carbon composite slurry was coated on plane film and yarns(cotton, polyester) and the performances of prepared heating materials were investigated by checking electrical surface resistance, adhesion strength. The plane heating element using carbon black under natural drying condition($25^{\circ}C$) had better physical properties such as surface resistance(185.3 Ohm/sq) and adhesion strength(above 90%) than those of other carbon composite heating elements. From these results, polyester heating element coated by carbon black showed better electrical line resistance(33.2 kOhm/cm) than cotton heating element. Then, it was found that polyester heating element coated by carbon black with CNF(3 wt%) and BCS03(1 wt%) appeared best properties(0.604 kOhm/cm).
