  • 톡소이드는 독성은 제거되고 항원성은 유지시킨 독소 단백질로써, 다양한 병원체의 감염 및 질병 예방을 위해 지속적으로 연구 되었다. 그러나, 톡소이드의 활성 감소 및 이와 함께 사용하는 어쥬번트의 부작용 등이 지속적으로 보고되면서, 면역성은 강화하고 어쥬번트의 사용은 줄일 수 있는 톡소이드 항원 전달 시스템이 필요하게 되었다. 따라서, 이러한 단점을 개선하고자 최근 새로운 백신과 약물 전달수송을 위해 다양한 분야에서 활용하고 있는 마이크로/나노 운반체를 톡소이드 항원에 도입하고 있다. 이와 같은 마이크로/나노 운반체는 미생물 자체를 이용하거나 미생물을 통해 생산해 낼 수도 있으며, 더 나아가 다양한 소재의 폴리머를 이용하여 제작할 수 있다. 본 총설에서는 톡소이드 항원 전달을 위한 마이크로/나노 운반체를 미생물 유래의 ghost cells (GCs), 그람 음성 세균이 분비하는 outer membrane vesicles (OMVs) 및 고분자 폴리머로 구성된 nanoparticles (NPs)으로 분류하였다. 마지막으로 각 운반체에 대한 톡소이드 항원의 전달 방식 및 이를 적용하였을 때 일어나는 면역반응에 대하여 서술하였으며, 이를 통해 향후 톡소이드의 효율 및 부작용이 개선되기를 기대한다.

  • This study is about how to lower the driving voltage that enables to move the micro droplet by the EWOD (Electro Wetting On Dielectric) mechanism. EWOD is well known that it is used ${\mu}-TAS$ digital micro fluidics system. As the device which is fabricated with dielectric layer between electrode and micro droplet is applied voltage, the hydrophobic surface is changed into the hydrophilic surface by electrical property. Therefore, EWOD induces the movement of micro droplet with reducing contact angle of micro droplet. The driving voltage was depended on the dielectric constant of dielectric layer, thus it can be reduced by increase of dielectric constant. Typically, very high voltage ($100V{\sim}$) is used to move the micro droplet. In previous study, we used $Ta_{2}O_{5}$ as the dielectric layer and driving voltage was 23V that reduced 24 percent compared with $SiO_2$. In this study, we used $BZN(Bi_{2}O_{3}ZnO-Nb_{2}O_{5})$ layer which had high dielectric constant. It was operated the just 12V. And micro droplet was moved within Is on 15V. It was reduced the voltage until 35 percents compare with $Ta_{2}O_{5}$ and 50 percents compare with $SiO_2$. The movement of micro droplet within 1s was achieved with BZN (ferroelectrics)just on 15V.

  • In this study, we propose an advanced nanoindentaion test, Nano Pillar Compression Test (NPCT) to measure a stress-strain relation for micro scale polymer structures. Firstly, FEM analysis is performed to research behavior of micro polymer pillars in several specimen aspect ratios and different friction conditions between specimen and tip. Based on the FEM results, micro scale UV-curable polymer pillars are fabricated on a substrate by Nano Stereo Lithography (NSL). To measure their mechanical properties, uniaxial compression test is performed using nanoindentation apparatus with flat-ended diamond tip. In addition, the dependency of compression properties on loading condition and specimen size are discussed.

  • A novel multi-layer type micro gas sensor for $NO_X$ detection was designed and fabricated. Micro platform defined as type II-1 in this article for micro gas sensor was fabricated using the MEMS technology to meet the demanding needs of lower power consumption. Nano composite materials were fabricated with nanosized tin oxide powder and $\underline{m}$ulti-$\underline{w}$all $\underline{c}$arbon $\underline{n}$ano $\underline{t}$ube (MWCNT) to improve sensitivity. We investigated characteristics of fabricated multi-layer type micro gas sensor with $NO_2$ concentration variations at constant 2.2 V. Sensitivity (S) of micro gas sensor were observed to increase from 2.9, to 7.4 and 11.2 as concentrations of $NO_2$ gases increased from 2.4 ppm, to 3.6 ppm and 4.9 ppm. When 2.4 ppm of $NO_2$ gas was applied, response time and recovery time of micro gas sensor were recorded as 101 seconds and 142 seconds, respectively.

  • A LCoS micro-display using polymer dispersed liquid crystals (PDLCs) for light switching layer was fabricated. The Si backplane of SVGA ($800{\times}600$) with a pixel size of $14{\times}14mm^2$ was prepared by a $0.35{\mu}m$ 18V CMOS process. PDLCs were filled in the gap between backplane and ITO glass by conventional vacuum filling method. The prepared panels were driven by a field sequential color (FSC) scheme at the frequency of 180Hz and were successful in modulating LED lights to show projection images. The preparation and performance of PDLC-LCoS are presented.

  • Si(100) surfaces were topographically modified i.e. the surfaces were patterned at micro-scale using photolithography and DRIE (Deep Reactive Ion Etching) fabrication techniques. The patterned shapes included micro-pillars and microchannels. After the fabrication of the patterns, the patterned surfaces were chemically modified by coating a thin DLC film. The surfaces were then evaluated for their friction behavior at micro-scale in comparison with those of bare Si(100) flat, DLC coated Si(100) flat and uncoated patterned surfaces. Experimental results showed that the chemically treated (DLC coated) patterned surfaces exhibited the lowest values of coefficient of friction when compared to the rest of the surfaces. This indicates that a combination of both the topographical and chemical modification is very effective in reducing the friction property. Combined surface treatments such as these could be useful for tribological applications in miniaturized devices such as Micro-Electro-Mechanical-Systems (MEMS).

  • In this paper, we propose a new multi-purpose Scanning Force Microscope (SFM) system. The system can be used for nano/micro-scratching, in-process profile measurement, and observation of potential surface defects which occur during the scratching in air or liquid. Experimental results of nano/micro-scratching show that the smallest scratching depth can be controlled to be 10nm, which corresponds to the stability of the SFM system. Profile measurements of nano/micro-scratching surfaces have also been performed by the method of on-machine measurement and in-process measurement. Two measurement results were in good agreement with each other. The maximum difference was approximately 10 nm, which was mainly caused by the sampling repeatability error that influences the measurement accuracy Also, micro-defects on the micro-scratching surface were successfully detected by the SFM system. It was confirmed that the number of micro-defects increases when the surface is subjected to a cyclic bending load. The maximum depth was less than 100nm.
