In recent years, inkjet printing technology has received significant attention as a micro/nanofabrication technique for flexible printing of electronic circuits and solar cells, as well for biomaterial patterning. It eliminates the need for physical masks, causes fewer environment problems, lowers fabrication costs, and offers good layer-to-layer registration. To fulfill the requirements for use in the above applications, however, the inkjet system must meet certain criteria such as high frequency jetting, uniform droplet size, high density nozzle array, etc. Existing inkjet devices are either based on thermal bubbles or piezoelectric pumping; they have several drawbacks for flexible printing. For instance, thermal bubble jetting has limitations in terms of size and density of the nozzle array as well as the ejection frequency. Piezoelectric based devices suffer from poor pumping energy in addition to inadequate ejection frequency. Recently, an electrohydrodynamic (EHD) printing technique has been suggested and proposed as an alternative to thermal bubble or piezoelectric devices. In EHD jetting, a liquid (ink) is pumped through a nozzle and a strong electric field is applied between the nozzle and an extractor plate, which induce charges at the surfaces of the liquid meniscus. This electric field creates an electric stress that stretches the meniscus in the direction of the electric field. Once the electric field force is larger than the surface tension force, a liquid droplet is formed. An EHD inkjet head can produce droplets smaller than the size of the nozzle that produce them. Furthermore, the EHD nano-inkjet can eject high viscosity liquid through the nozzle forming tiny structures. These unique features distinguish EHD printing from conventional methods for sub-micron resolution printing. In this presentation, I will introduce the recent research results regarding the EHD nano-inkjet and the printing system, which has been applied to solar cell or thin film transistor applications.

Energy saving standard for buildings are strengthened, the application of exterior insulation finishing system and thickness of insulation materials are increasing. Most buildings with exterior insulation finishing system is applied organic insulating material. Organic insulating material have workability, economic feasibility, reduction in construction cost, and excellent thermal insulation performance. However, Organic insulating material is very vulnerable to heat, so when a fire occurs, rapid fire spread and toxic gas are generated, causing many casualties. Inorganic insulating material can be non-combustible performance, but it is heavy and has low thermal insulation performance. Mineral wool has higher thermal insulation performance than other types of inorganic insulating material, but mineral wool is disadvantageous to workability and vulnerable to moisture. Glass bubble are highly resistant to water and chemically stable substances. In addition, the density of the glass bubble is very low and the particles are spherical, fluidity is improved by the ball bearing effect. Glass bubbles can be used with cement-based ino rganic insulating material to impro ve the weight and thermal insulatio n perfo rmance o f cement-based inorganic insulation. This study produced a inorganic insulating materials were manufactured using cement-based materials and glass bubble. In order to evaluate the insulation performance and flame retardant performance of cement-based super light-weight inorganic insulating materials using with glass bubble, insulation performance or flame retardant and non-combustible performance were evaluated after manufacturing insulating materials using micro cement and two types of glass bubbles. From the test result, Increasing the mixing ratio of glass bubbles improved the insulation performance of cement-based super light-weight inorganic insulating materials, and when the mixing ratio of glass bubbles was 10%, it sho wed sufficient flame retardant and no n-co mbustible perfo rmance.

This study describes a simulation of two-dimensional bubble forming and motion by the Lattice Boltzmann Method with the phase field equation. The free energy model is used to treat the interfacial force and deformation of binary fluids system, drawn into a T-junction the micro channel. A numerical simulation of a binary flow in a cross-junction channel is carried out by using the parallel computation method. The aim in this investigation is to examine the applicability of LBM to numerical analysis of binary fluid separation and motion in the micro channel.

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.

We have developed a laser-based needle-free liquid drug-injection device. A laser beam is focused inside the liquid contained in the rubber chamber of a micro-scale. The focused laser beam causes explosive bubble growth, and the sudden volume increase in a sealed chamber drives a microjet of liquid drug through the micronozzle. The exit diameter of a nozzle is less than 100 ${\mu}m$, and we verify that the injected microjet is fast enough to penetrate soft human tissue. In the experiment, the microjet penetrated a 5% gelatin-water solution that replicates the human thrombus and pork-fat tissue.

This simulation first allows us to define a transition zone from a bubble to jet mode of the argon out-flow and hereinafter to define a similar area for water-steam leak in the KALIMER SG (Korea Advanced Liquid Metal Reactor Steam Generator) using a water mock-up system, taking into account the KALIMER leak classification and tube bundle design, as a simulation of a real water-steam into sodium leak. in accordance with leak conditions in the KALIMER SG, the transition from bubbling to jetting is studied by means of turbulence regime simulation for argon out-flow through a very small orifice, which has the equivalent diameter of about 0.253 mm. finally the noise generation mechanism is explained from the existing experimental data. We also confirmed the possibility of micro-leak detection from the information of the bubbling mode through simulations and the experiment in this study.

최근 딸기 생산이 확대 되면서, 고품질 다수확이 가능한 딸기 우량묘에 대한 수요가 빠르게 늘고 있으며, 딸기 육묘에 관한 관심이 더욱 늘고 있다. 그러나, 육묘시 작물에 따른 포트 혹은 트레이 선정에 대한 연구는 거의 이루어지지 않고 있다. 또한, 마이크로버블의 세정 능력은 이미 산업현장에서 널리 알려져 있으나 이를 이용한 시스템 개발은 농업분야에서는 미비한 실정이다. 따라서, 딸기 육묘에 적합한 마이크로버블 시스템을 설계하여 실증 개발함으로써 딸기 육묘 농가의 자립능력을 제고하고, 딸기 육묘 생산시스템의 확대 하여 농가소득 증대에 기여하고자 한다. 실험방법은 생육에 적합한 육묘용 트레이를 선정하고, 마이크로 버블 시스템을 적용한 육묘와 기존 방법에 의한 육묘의 비교 실험하였다. 포트의 용량에 따른 뿌린 근부의 성장변화를 관찰하고, SEM 촬영을 통하여 딸기 뿌리근부의 조직의 치밀성을 확인하였다. 기존 저면관수의 경우 딸기탄저병 확산을 억제하지만, 반입에 의한 감염주의 발병을 억제하는 것은 아니다. 따라서 포트 및 트레이를 청결하게 관리할 필요가 있으며 이를 해결하기 위해 미세기포(micro-bubble)를 사용한 클리닝이 상당한 효과가 있는 것으로 확인하였다. 또한 조직의 치밀도을 측정하기 위해 딸기 육묘 조직을 SEM 촬영하여 분석하였으며, 미세기포를 이용한 딸기 육묘 방법이 기존의 딸기 육묘 방법에 비하여 조직이 치밀한 것으로 확인 되었다. 또한 배지량 및 육묘 트레이가 딸기 육묘의 성장에 영향을 미치며 제1액아가 １개밖에 발생하지 않는 포기가 많아지고 '눈 없는 포기'의 발생 현상들이 발생하고 있어 적정 육묘 트레이의 선택 및 배지량 조절하는 비교 실험을 통하여 해결하였다. 본 연구의 결과 개선된 육묘트레이를 사용함으로써 제1액아의 형성이 촉진되어 정과방 후의 제1액과 방의 수확량이 증대한다는 것에 의해서 １월 혹은 ２월부터의 수량이 증대되어 소득향상이 기대되며, 마이크로버블을 저면관수에 적용함으로써 트레이의 청결을 유지하여 병해를 예방하고 딸기모종의 조직을 치밀하게 함으로써 딸기의 우량육묘를 얻는데 기여 할 것으로 기대된다.
