  • 그라핀은 밴드갭이 없어서 세미메탈의 성질을 띠므로 초고속 RF 소자에는 응용이 가능하지만, 현재 사용되는 반도체 칩에 사용하기가 불가능하다. 그러나 그라핀을 매우 좁은 리본 형태로 만들 경우 밴드갭이 생기고 이에 따라 반도체특성을 뛰게 된다. 이러한 특성은 시뮬레이션을 통해서만 이해되다가 2007년 P. Kim이 그라핀 나노리본의 밴드캡이 리본의 폭이 좁아짐에 따라 증가함을 실험적으로 최초로 발표하였다. 하지만 그라핀을 나노리본형태로 식각 방법에 대해서는 정확히 연구되지 않았다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 $O_2$ plasma ashing 방법을 이용하여 그라핀을 식각하는 방법에 대해 연구하였다. 먼저 Si기판을 initial cleaning 한 후, highly-oriented pyrolytic graphite(HOPG)를 이용하여 기존의 mechanical exfoliation 방식을 통해 그라핀을 형성하였다. Photo-lithography 방법을 통하여 패터닝한 후, 그라핀을 식각하기 위하여 Reactive Ion Etcher (RIE) system을 이용한 $O_2$ plasma ashing을 50 W에서 1 분간 실시하였다. 다시 image reverse photo-lithography 과정과 E-beam evaporator system를 통해서 Al 전극을 형성하여 graphene-FET를 제작하였고, 광학 현미경과 AFM (Atomic force microscope)을 통해 두께를 확인하였다. 본 연구를 통하여 $O_2$ plasma ashing을 이용하여 쉽게 그라 E을 식각할 수 있음을 확인 하였으며, 제작된 소자의 전기적 특성에 대해서 현재 실험중에 있다.

  • Osteopathia striata with cranial sclerosis (OS-CS) is characterized by linear bone dysplasia at the long bone radiographically and sclerotic change at the cranium. The purpose of this case report is to study the symptoms and treatments of osteomyelitis in a patient with OS-CS. A 41-year-old patient had pus discharge from a fistula at the mental region and increase in radiolucencies with sequestra in panoramic radiograph images. Computed tomography (CT) as well as radiograph images for the whole skeleton were taken. The patient was diagnosed with OS-CS. Sequestrectomy and fistulectomy were performed. The patient recovered and no relapse occurred within six months after surgery. For diagnosis of OS-CS, CT and additional radiograph images for the whole skeleton are required. Because of the increased bone density, this patient is prone to relapse after sequestrectomy. Therefore, the surgeon must minimize trauma with the least incision and exfoliation, and preoperative antibiotics.

  • Size-sorted graphene nanoplatelets are highly desired for fundamental research and technological applications of graphene. Here we show a facile approach for fabricating size-sorted graphene oxide (GO) nanoplatelets by a simple centrifugal method using different dispersion solvents. We found that the small-sized GO nanoplatelets were more effectively separated when dispersed in water or dimethylformamide (DMF) than in an alkali aqueous solution. After several iterations of the centrifugation, the sizes of GO in the supernatant solution were mostly several micrometers. We found that the GO area was not strongly correlated with the C-O content of the GO dispersed in water. However, the size-sorted GO nanoplatelets in DMF showed different C-O content, since DMF can reduce GO nanoplatelets during exfoliation and centrifugation processes.

  • The purpose of this study was to evaluate the most effective method for repairing the exfoliated resin teeth. The specimens were divided into five groups according to repair method and presence of retention holes. The groups were as follows Group1 : Control group Group2 : Sprinkle method with no retention holes Group3 : Sprinkle method with retention holes Group4 : Flask method with no retention holes Group5 : Flask method with retention holes The results were as follows. 1. According to shear bond strength, the value decreased in the order of group1, group5, group3, group2, group4 and there were significant difference between, each group except between group1 and groups5, group2 and group3, group2 and group4(p < 0.05). 2. According to observations of the exfoliation surface, group2 and 4 showed more failure in the denture base resin and repair resin interface, but in group1, 3 and 5 there were more mixed failures. From the results above, there were no significant difference between repair methods without retention holes. But when comparing groups with retention holes, the flask method showed significantly improved results compared to the sprinkle method. Especially, group5 showed similar results as the control group.

  • In this wort, the $Na^+-MMT$ has organically modified with silane intercalant to prepare the polymer/clay nanocomposites. The pH. X-ray diffraction (XRD), and contact angles were used to analyze the surface properties of clay and the exfoliation phenomenon of clay interlayer, The mechanical interfacial properties of epoxy/clay nanocomposites were investigated by three-point bending test. From the experimental results. the surface modification made by silane intercalant on clay surface leads to an increase of distance of silicate layers, surface acid value. and electron acceptor parameter of organoclay. The treatments are also necessary and useful for epoxy to intercalate into the interlayer by interacting of electron donor-accepter between basic epoxy and clay surface. The mechanical interfacial properties of the nanocomposites was improved by the presence of dispersed clay nanolayer containing low content of organoclay in comparison with the conventional, which increase the interfacial adhesion between dispersed clay and epoxy resins.

  • The approach studied in the present work produced an exfoliated state of clay layers via confinement of the charged nano-sized polystyrene (PS) beads within the gallery of swollen pristine clay. It was demonstrated that adsorption of the polymer nanobeads dramatically promotes expansion of the clay gallery. A comparative study of incorporation was conducted by employing organo-modified clay along with two different colloid polymer systems: electrostatically stabilized PS nanobeads and cationic monomer-grafted PS nanobeads. The mechanism of adsorption of the monomer-grafted polymer beads onto clay via cationic exchange between the alkyl ammonium group of the polymer nanobeads and the interlayer sodium cation of the layered silicate was verified by using several techniques. As distinct from the polymer nanobeads formed using conventional miniemulsion polymerization method, competitive adsorption of stabilizing surfactant molecules was be prevented by grafting the surface functional groups into the polymer chain, thereby supporting the observed effective adsorption of the polymer beads. The presence of surface functional groups that support the establishment of strong polymer-clay interactions was suggested to improve the compatibility of the clay with the polymer matrix and eventually play a crucial role in the performance of the final nanocomposites.

  • In this paper, the flexible piezoelectric nanocomposite generator(NCG) device based on $BaTiO_3$ nanostructures was fabricated via simple and low-cost spin coating method. The $BaTiO_3$ nanostructures synthesized by self-assembly reaction showed dendrite morphologies. To produce the piezoelectric nanocomposite(p-NC layer) which acts as an electric energy source in NCG device, the piezoelectric nanopowders($BaTiO_3$) were dispersed in polydimethylsiloxane(PDMS). Sequently, the p-NC layer was inserted in two dielectric layer of PDMS; these layers enabled the NCG device flexibility as well as durability prohibiting detachment(exfoliation) for significantly mechanical bending motions. The fabricated NCG device shows average maximum open circuit voltage of 6.2 V and average maximum current signals of 300 nA at 20 wt% composition of $BaTiO_3$ nanostructures in p-NC layer. Finally, the flexible energy harvester generates stable output signals at any rate of frequency which were used to operate LCD device without any external energy supply.

  • The deformation and fracture behaviors of both Al2O3 and Ni 4.5wt.%Al plasma thermal spray coating were investigated by an acoustic emission method. Plasma thermal spray coating is formed by a process in which melted particles flying with high speed towards substrate, then crash and spread on the substrate surface cooled and solidified in a very short time, stacking of the particles makes coating. A tensile test is conducted on notch specimens in a stress range below the elastic limit of substrate. A bendind test is done on smooth specimens. The waveforms of AE generated from the both test coating specimens can be classified by FFT analysis into two types which low frequency(type I) and high frequency(type II). The type I waveform is considered to corresponds exfoliation of coating layers and type II waveform corresponds the plastic deformation of notch tip. The fracture of the coating layers can estimate by AE event and amplitude, because AE features increase when the deformation generates.

  • A diagnostic investigation of the conservation state of damaged murals of the Payathonzu temple mainly indicated delamination, exfoliation, and contamination of the coloring layer; cracks and damage to the wall; and separation from gaps. In particular, vulnerabilities resulting from cracks in the wall and damage from gaps demand swift reinforcement measures. Ultrasonic testing uncovered damage caused by gaps between the base layer and plastered wall in several areas of the mural, vulnerable parts in the wall around the cracks, and considerable degradation of the physical properties where cracks and gaps were severe. Moisture measurements identified vast disparities in moisture depending on location even within a single area of the mural, and it was clear that these disparities were the result of environmental conditions such as humidity. Damage to the murals in monument 477 was the most severe, and a diagnostic of the physical properties uncovered severe physical damage to the upper part of the mural as well as to the corridor ceiling, thus presenting the need for conservation treatment utilizing scientific diagnosis as well as objective data.
