본 연구에서는 CuO와 ZnO의 입자 크기가 옥수수의 성장과 토양 미생물 군집에 미치는 독성을 microcosm 실험을 통하여 살펴보았다. 나노 입자는 micro 입자에 비해 옥수수의 biomass를 약 30% 감소시켜 나노 입자가 옥수수의 성장을 저해하는 것으로 나타났다. 토양 미생물 활성 지표인 Dehydrogenase activity는 CuO 나노 입자에서는 낮게 나타났으나 ZnO 나노 입자에서는 높게 나타났다. Biolog test 결과, CuO 나노 입자와 ZnO micro 입자에서 토양 미생물 다양성이 감소하는 것으로 나타났다. 그러므로, metal oxide의 나노 입자가 micro 입자보다 항상 토양 미생물의 활성 및 다양성에 더 유해한 영향을 나타내는 것은 아니라고 판단된다.

Micro-scale serpentine structure fibers are widely used as flexible sensor in the manufacturing of micro-nano flexible electronic devices because of their outstanding non-linear mechanical properties and organizational flexibility. The use of melt electrowriting (MEW) technology, combined with the axial bending effect of the Taylor cone jet in the process, can achieve the micro-scale serpentine structure fibers. Due to the interference of the process parameters, it is still challenging to achieve the precise deposition of micro-scale and high-consistency serpentine structure fibers. In this paper, the micro-scale serpentine structure fiber is produced by MEW combined with axial bending effect. Based on the controlled deposition of MEW, applied voltage, collector speed, nozzle height and nozzle diameter are adjusted to achieve the precise deposition of micro-scale serpentine structure fibers with different morphologies in a single motion dimension. Finally, the influence mechanism of the above four parameters on the precise deposition of micro-scale serpentine fibers is explored.

The use of ion beams in the micro/nano scale is greatly increased by technology development. Especially, focused ion beams (FIBs) have a great potential to fabricate the device in sub micro scale. Nevertheless, FIB has several limitations, surface swelling in low ion dose regime, precipitation of incident ions, and the redeposition effect due to the sputtered atoms. In this research, we demonstrate a way which can be used to fabricate mold structures on a silicon substrate using FIBs. For the purpose of the demonstration, two essential subjects are necessary. One is that focused ion beam diameter as well as shape has to be measured and verified. The other one is that the accurate rotational symmetric model of ion-solid interaction has to be mathematically developed. We apply those two, measured beam diameter and mathematical model, to fabricate optical lenses mold on silicon. The characteristics of silicon mold fabrication will be discussed as well as simulation results.

The main objectives of this research are to investigate characteristics of ozone solubility due to low solubility of conventional bubbles-ozone generators, evaluate the treatment characteristics of reclaiming textile wastewater for industrial water by means of micro/nano bubbles-dissolved ozone flotation(MNB-DOF) process. The textile wastewater used in this research was obtained from final effluent of the textile wastewater in B city. There is a 400L reactor which consists of a micro-nano bubble system and a ozone generator for experiments. As a result of generating micro-nano bubbles (below $0.5{\mu}m$) by using of MNB-DOF process, it improved ozone solubility due to higher ozone transfer rates. Consequently, the shorter ozonation time clearly indicates the lower power costs. The reported results clearly indicated that MNB-DOF process can be effectively and inexpensively. Results of the experiments through MNB-DOF process in this study satisfy all reclaiming standards as industrial water: pH 6.5~8.5, SS 10 mg/L or below, $BOD_5$) 6 mg/L or below, turbidity 10 NTU or below, Coliforms 1,000/100 mL or below. Therefore there is a possibility of the reclaiming of the textile wastewater as industrial water.

In this paper, mesoporous Pt on micro pillars Pt electrode is newly designed, fabricated, and characterized on silicon substrate for non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor micro-chip integrated with CMOS readout circuitry. The fabricated micro/nano Pt electrode has cylindrical hexangular arrayed nano Pt pores with a diameter of 3.2 nm which is formed on top of the micro pillars Pt electrode with approximately $6{\mu}m$ in diameter, $6{\mu}m$ in space, and $50{\mu}m$ in height. The measured current responses of the fabricated plane Pt, mesoporous Pt, and mesoporous Pt on the micro pillar Pt electrodes are approximately $9.9nA/mm^2,\;6.72{\mu}A/mm^2,\;and\;7.67{\mu}A/mm^2$ in 10mM glucose solution with 0.1M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution, respectively. In addition, the measured current responses of the fabricated plane Pt, mesoporous Pt, and mesoporous Pt on the micro pillar Pt electrodes are approximately $0.15{\mu}A/mm^2,\;0.56{\mu}A/mm^2,\;and\;0.74{\mu}A/mm^2$ in 0.1mM ascorbic acid (AA) solution with 0.1M phosphate buffered saline (PBS) solution, respectively. This experimental results show that the proposed micro/nano Pt electrode is highly sensitive and promising for CMOS integrated non-enzymatic electrochemical sensor applications. Since the micro-pillar Pt electrode can also be utilized with a micro-fluidic mixer in the sensor chip, the sensor chip can be much smaller, cheaper, and easier to be fabricated.

금속 연료 중 널리 사용되는 알루미늄의 연소 특성에 관하여 1차원 연소모델링을 제안하였다. 연소 모델링은 예열영역, 반응영역, 반응 후 영역, 세 영역으로 나누어 수행하였다. 또한 희박연소로 가정하여 단일 입자의 경우 입자크기와 당량비에 따른 화염속도, 나노와 마이크로 입자의 혼합물의 경우 혼합 비율에 따른 화염속도를 압력이 1기압 조건에서 계산하여 실험결과와 비교하였다. 단일입자의 경우, 입자의 크기가 작아질수록 화염속도가 빨라지고, 당량비가 낮아질수록 화염속도가 느려지는 현상이 관찰되었다. 나노와 마이크로 입자의 혼합물의 경우, 나노 입자의 함유량에 따라 화염속도는 빨라지며, 화염구조는 분리화염과 중첩화염이 나타남이 관찰되었다.

Hybrid manufacturing technology has been advanced to overcome limitations due to traditional fabrication methods. To fabricate a micro/nano-scale structure, various manufacturing technologies such as lithography and etching were attempted. Since these manufacturing processes are limited by their materials, temperature and features, it is necessary to develop a new three-dimensional (3D) printing method. A novel nano-scale 3D printing system was developed consisting of the Nano-Particle Deposition System (NPDS) and the Focused Ion Beam (FIB) to overcome these limitations. By repeating deposition and machining processes, it was possible to fabricate micro/nano-scale 3D structures with various metals and ceramics. Since each process works in different chambers, a transfer process is required. In this research, nanoscale 3D printing system was briefly explained and an alignment algorithm for nano-scale 3D printing system was developed. Implementing the algorithm leads to an accepted error margin of 0.5% by compensating error in rotational, horizontal, and vertical axes.

Tensile properties of hard coating material, TiN, were evaluated using micro-tensile testing system. TiN has been known as a hard coating material commonly used today. Micro-tensile testing system consisted of a micro tensile loading system and a micro-ESPI(Electronic Speckle Pattern Interferometry) system. Micro-tensile loading system had a maximum load capacity of 500mN and a resolution of 4.5 nm in stroke. TiN thin film $1{\mu}m$ thick was deposited on the Si wafer pre-deposited of $Si_3N_4$ film substrate by the closed field unbalanced magnetron sputtering (CFUBMS) process. Three kinds of micro-tensile specimen with the respective width of $50{\mu}m$, $100{\mu}m$ and $500{\mu}m$ were fabricated by MEMS process. The mechanical properties including tensile strength and elastic modulus were determined using the micro-tensile testing system and compared by those obtained by nano-indentation

Nano particles (10nm SiO2) were silane-treated in order to modify the surface characteristics in a epoxy nanocomposite. Then. micro particles ($3{\mu}m$ SiO2) were poured into the epoxy nanocomposite using various mixing process and epoxy/ micro-and-nano- mixed composites (EMNC) were prepared. The thermal (Tg) and mechanical (tensile and flexural strength) properties were measured by DMA and UTM and the data was estimated by Weibull plot.

In the planetary surface exploration , micro-rovers or nano-rovers are very attractive choices for a surface exploration system providing mobility functions and other features required in the surface probe missions at small mass and relatively small cost. This paper surveys and summarizes the requirements for Mars exploration rovers in micro or nano scale and outlines the control concepts for navigation including the obstacle/hazard avoidance and the path planning. In this context, autonomous reaction capabilities are the key elements to control design in conjunction with the remote control schemes to deal with the significant signal propagation delays. Other navigation and control aspects such as the instrument fine positioning and the flip-over of the rovers are also briefly introduced. The current technical limitations of the micro- and nano-rovers are summarized.
