The study was executed for development of sensing elements of electronic tongue which could discriminate taste of liquid and semi-liquid foods. Five polymeric membranes which were composed of polymer, plasticizer, electro-active materials were prepared. After each polymeric membranes were mounted in an electrode body, membrane potentials due to electrochemical reaction with taste stimuli were measured. The experimental results were interpreted in view of the membrane's non-selective responses to stimuli.

An energy-based variational approach is used for structural dynamic modeling of the IPMC (Ionic Polymer Metal Composites) flapping wing. Dynamic characteristics of the wing are analyzed using numerical simulations. Starting with the initial design, critical parameters which have influence on the performance of the wing are identified through parametric studies. An optimization study is performed to obtain improved flapping actuation of the IPMC wing. It is shown that the optimization algorithm leads to a flapping wing with dimensions similar to the dragonfly Aeshna Multicolor wing. An unsteady aerodynamic model based on modified strip theory is used to obtain the aerodynamic forces. It is found that the IPMC wing generates sufficient lift to support its own weight and carry a small payload. It is therefore a potential candidate for flapping wing of micro air vehicles.

This study attempts to develop a real-time debonding monitoring system for carbon fiber-reinforced polymer (CFRP) strengthened structures by continuously inspecting the bonding condition between the CFRP layer and the host structure. The uniqueness of this study is in developing a new concept and theoretical framework of nondestructive testing (NDT), in which debonding is detected without relying on previously-obtained baseline data. The proposed reference-free damage diagnosis is achieved based on the concept of time reversal acoustics (TRA). In TRA, an input signal at an excitation point can be reconstructed if the response signal measured at another point is reemitted to the original excitation point after being reversed in the time domain. Examining the deviation of the reconstructed signal from the known initial input signal allows instantaneous identification of damage without requiring a baseline signal representing the undamaged state for comparison. The concept of TRA has been extended to guided wave propagations within the CFRP-strengthened reinforced concrete (RC) beams to improve the detectibility of local debonding. Monotonic and fatigue load tests of large-scale CFRP-strengthened RC beams are conducted to demonstrate the potential of the proposed reference-free debonding monitoring system. Comparisons with an electro-mechanical impedance method and an inferred imaging technique are provided as well.

In optical information technology, an electro-controllable Photonic Band Gap (PBG) in a photonic crystal (PC) material is potentially useful for the manipulation of light. Despite a great deal of research on PBGs, the reliable use of electro-active PBG material systems is restricted to only a few cases because of the complex and limiting nature of the structures involved. Here, we propose a PBG system that uses a liquid crystal (LC) polymer composite. The composite is made of nematic LCs (NLCs) embedded in polymeric helical networks of photo-polymerized cholesteric LCs (CLCs). The composite film shows a large field-induced reversible color shift over 150 nm of the reflection band, due to the reorientational undulation of the helical axis, similar to the Helfrich effect.

본 논문에서는 측면이 연마된 단일모드 광섬유와 폴리머 다중 평면도파로가 결합했을 때 발생하는 모드 결합현상을 이용한 능동형 광결합기를 연구하였다. 제안된 소자는 파장가변 광필터나 광변조기로 이용할 수 있을 뿐만 아니라, 광도파로 물질의 굴절률, 복굴절, 전기광학 계수, 열광학 계수 등을 측정하는 도구로 응용할 수 있다. BPM으로 최적화된 결합기를 설계하였고, 열광학 폴리머를 능동 평면 도파로층으로 이용하여 결합기를 제작하였다. 제작된 소자는 -0.5dB 이하 손실, 공진파장 -13dB 소멸비. 그리고 열광학 효과에 의해 -1.5nm/$^{\circ}C$ 정도의 파장 가변성을 보였다. 본 연구의 결과로 볼 때 열광학 능동형 광결합기는 광변조기, 파장가변 광필터, 광센서 등으로 이용될 가능성이 높다.

In order to demonstrate the possibility of applying an ionic polymer metal composite (IPMC) to a finger exoskeleton, pinching motion analysis was performed for a thumb-index finger dummy actuated by IPMC actuators. The IPMC actuators of 5mm in width and 40mm in length with 2.4mm thickness generated 1.52N of blocking force for the applying voltage of 4.0V. Three actuators were installed on the three rotary joint of an index finger, and one actuator was installed on one proximal joint. Positions of each joint and finger tip were recorded on the video camera, and motion was analyzed. Power supply to the index finger actuators preceded power supply to the thumb actuator, and key pinching motion was accomplished in 180s. Tip pinching was accomplished in 135s as power supply to the thumb preceded power supply to the index finger.

In this study, a novel actuator was developed by employing the newly-synthesized ionic networking membrane (INM) of poly (styrene-alt-maleic anhydride) (PSMAn)-incorporated poly (vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF). Based on the same original membrane, various samples of INM actuator were prepared through different reduction times with the electroless-plating technique. The as-prepared INM actuators were tested in terms of surface resistance, platinum morphology, resonance frequency, tip displacement, current and blocked force, and their performance was compared to that of the widely-used traditional Nafion actuator. Scanning electron microscope (SEM) and transmission electron microscopy (TEM) revealed that much smaller and more uniform platinum particles were formed on the surfaces of the INM actuators as well as within their polymer matrix. Although excellent harmonic response was observed for the newly-developed INM actuators, this was found to be sensitive to the applied reduction times during the fabrication. The mechanical displacement of the INM actuator fabricated after optimum reduction times was much larger than that of its Nafion counterpart of comparable thickness under the stimulus of constant and alternating current voltage.

New, thermally robust, arylenevinylene conjugated polymers, including poly(9,9-dioctylfluorenyl-2,7-vinylene) [poly(FV)] and poly[2-(3'-dimethyldodecylsilylphenyl)-1,4-phenylenevinylene] [poly(m-SiPhPV)], were synthesized and used for the fabrication of efficient photovoltaic cells. Bulk heterojunction photovoltaic cells fabricated by blending one of the polymers, [poly(FV)], [poly(m-SiPhPV)], and poly(FV-co-m-SiPhPV), with the fullerene derivative [6,6]-phenyl-$C_{61}$-butyric acid methyl ester (PCBM) were found to have a power conversion efficiency of up to 0.038%..

고분자 기지에 희석제의 첨가로 CNT 및 CB 입자의 분산성 향상 및 연질의 전극을 만들고자하였다. 희석제, CNT 및 CB 함유량에 따른 연질 전극재료의 전기적 및 기계적 특성을 평가하였다. 전극재료로서 최적의 혼합조건은 기지 (KE-12)를 기본으로 희석제 80, CNT 3.5 그리고 CB 18 (phr)이었다. 이때의 비저항 값은 73 (${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$)이었고, 인장강도와 인장탄성율 그리고 신장율은 각각 0.45 MPa, 0.21 MPa, 184%였다. 또한 최적화된 전극과 탄성체를 이용하여 간단한 구조의 구동기를 제작하여 그 특성을 평가하였다. 작동 전압 25 kV에서 탄성체 KE-12는 2.24 mm의 변위가 발생되었고, 희석제가 50 (phr) 혼합된 KE-12는 4.05mm의 변위가 발생되었다. 희석제 50 (phr) 혼합된 KE-12는 3M의 4910과 같은 탄성계수를 나타내지만, 더 높은 변위를 보였다. 동일한 재료 (KE-12)의 전극과 탄성체로 제작된 구동기는 피로수명 및 응용에 많은 장점이 있을 것으로 보인다.

An organic light emitting diode (OLED), also light emitting polymer (LEP) and organic electro luminescence (OEL), is any light emitting diode (LED) whose emissive electroluminescent layer is composed of a film of organic compounds. The layer usually contains a polymer substance that allows suitable organic compounds to be deposited. They are deposited in rows and columns onto a flat carrier by a simple "printing" process. The resulting matrix of pixels can emit light of different colors. Such systems can be used in television screens, computer displays, small, portable system screens such as cell phones and PDAs, advertising, information and indication. OLEDs can also be used in light sources for general space illumination, and large-area light-emitting elements. In this paper, we develop the general guide line of the accelerated life test for assuring B10 life of AMOLED(Active Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) and PMOLED(Passive Matrix Organic Light Emitting Diode) which are widely used for display monitor less than 115 mm.
