  • The laser absorption spectroscopy has been used for measuresurement of the xenon atoms in the resonant $1S_4$ and metastable $1S_5$ states in coplanar AC PDP. For the purpose of improving VUV luminous efficiency and optimization of PDP cells, it is important to study behavior of excited Xe atoms in a micro-discharge cell of a coplanar AC-PDP. We measured the xenon excited density of $1S_5$ and $1S_4$ state under mixture gas of Ne-Xe(10%) with gas pressure of 350 Torr and sustaining gap distance of 150 um.

  • Characteristics of holdup and flow behavior of fluidized solid particles were investigated in a liquid-solid circulating fluidized bed ($0.102m{\times}3.5m$). Effects of liquid velocity ($U_L$), particle size ($d_P$) and solid circulation rate ($G_S$) on the solid holdup, overall particle rising velocity, slip velocity between liquid and particles and hydrodynamic energy dissipation rate in the riser were examined. The particle holdup increased with increasing $d_P$ or $G_S$ but decreased with increasing $U_L$. The overall particle rising velocity increased with increasing $U_L$ or $G_S$ but decreased with increasing $d_P$. The slip velocity increased with increasing $U_L$ or $d_P$ but did not change considerably with $G_S$. The energy dissipation rate, which was found to be closely related to the contacting frequency of micro eddies, increased with increasing $d_P$, $G_S$ or $U_L$. The solid particle holdup was well correlated with operating variables such as $U_L$, $d_P$ and $G_S$.

  • A simplified analytical study for micro-sized single metal particle combustion in air was conducted in the present study. The metal particle combustion consists of two distinct reaction regimes, ignition and quasi-steady burning, and the thermo-fluidic phenomena in each stage are formulated by virtue of the conservation and transport equations. When particle temperature reaches to 1200 K, ended an ignition stage and was converted at quasi-steady combustion stage. Effects of Initial particle size, convection, ambient pressure and temperature are examined and addressed with validation.

  • GaN micro-crystals were synthesized through the direct reaction of $NH_3$with a Ga-melt. The bubbling technique in the atmospheric $NH_3$ ambient was employed and dark-gray-colored GaN micro-crystals with various sizes ranging from 0.5~30$\mu \textrm{m}$ were obtained. It was confirmed that product yield increased with increasing reaction temperature. The synthesized GaN micro-crystals were characterized by using a particle size analyzer, SEM, XRD and PL. The variation of reaction temperature from $850^{\circ}C$ to $1150^{\circ}C$ result in morphological change and in optical characteristics of GaN micro-crystals. Especially; GaN micro-crystals synthesized at 10sec showed the highest crystallinity and low yellow band luminescence.

  • As a carrier of malaria and sneak of blood, mosquitoes are an unpleasant insect. However, there are several unknown natural secretes related with mosquitoes. Among them, we focused on the blood sucking process of a female mosquito. The main objective of this study is to understand the mosquito's blood sucking mechanism that can be used to resolve the problem encountered in the injection or transport of infinitesimal biological fluids in a micro-chip. At first, the velocity fields of blood-sucking flow in a proboscis were measured using a micro-particle image velocimetry (PIV) technique. The velocity signals of flow in the proboscis show periodic variation. This seems to be resulted from the beating of the pharyngeal pump which works as driving power. To analyze the pumping mechanism, the temporal variation of the pharyngeal pump was visualized using the synchrotron X-ray micro-imaging technique. The volume variation was estimated by the help of digital image processing techniques. Once the main mechanism of blood sucking process was found, a effective micro-pumping system with high efficiency would be developed in near future.

  • The flow characteristics of chicken blood in a micro-tube with a $100{\mu}m$ diameter are investigated using a micro-Particle Image Velocimetry (PIV) technique. Chicken blood with 40% hematocrit is supplied into the micro-tube using a syringe pump. For comparison, the same experiments are repeated for human blood with 40% hematocrit. Chicken blood flow has a cell-free layer near the tube wall, and this layer's thickness increases with the increased flow speed due to radial migration. As a hemorheological feature, the aggregation index of chicken blood is about 50% less than that of human blood. Therefore, the non-Newtonian fluid features of chicken blood are not very remarkable compared with those of human blood. As the flow rate increases, the blunt velocity profile in the central region of the micro-tube sharpens, and the parabolicshaped shear stress distribution becomes to have a linear profile. The viscosity of both blood samples in a low shear rate condition is overestimated, while the viscosity in a high shear rate range is underestimated due to radial migration and the presence of a cell-depleted layer.

  • An experimental study was carried out to characterize the spray atomization process of micro-machined port fuel injectors with a piezoelectric atomization device, which can generate pressure pulsations through vibration of a piezoelectric transducer. In this study, several types of micro-machined arrays such as 30∼200-microns of hole arrays were tested. Both a dual-stream and a central-port injectors with micro-machined arrays were tested and compared with normal port fuel injectors. The spray visualization was conducted to characterize overall spray structure and phase Doppler particle analyzer (PDPA) system was used to quantify the droplet size and velocity. In addition, the pressure history was recorded by using digitized signal from pressure transducer. The results showed that modulation is effective to the spray atomization for tested injectors and atomization performance depends on injector design factors, orifice sizes, and frequency and power of the modulator. A number of resonance frequencies of the modulator was modified by injector parameters and temperature. In addition, our results suggested that design of sufficient space among holes is critical to avoid droplet coalescence in the multi-hole micro-machined injectors.

  • In this paper, in order to apply the CF (color filter) type of the micro light emitting device (Micro LED) display method, a study on the manufacturing process of red and green phosphor inks for the inkjet process was conducted. The blue light-emitting KSF and LuAG phosphors were respectively used to control the phosphor particle size to about 1㎛, and a phosphor ink was prepared by synthesizing with a low-viscosity solution (IPA/Eg). A chemical dispersion method was applied to selectively control the dispersion characteristics in the manufacture of phosphor inks, and in particular, phosphor inks with a dispersant applied a dispersant secured stable dispersion characteristic compared to phosphor inks without a dispersion process. Therefore, it seems possible to manufacture CF for Micro LED through an inkjet process capable of controlling the dispersion characteristics of phosphor ink.

  • Pollution of the environment by micro-plastics is now a worldwide problem. Plastics are difficult to decompose and put a great load on the marine environment. Especially a plastic with a size of 5 mm or less is defined as micro-plastic and are carried by ocean currents over long distances, causing global pollution. These are not easily decomposed in the natural environment. In this paper, we aimed to experimentally demonstrate that micro-plastics in seawater can be continuously separated by electromagnetic Archimedes force. Using polyethylene particles of 3 mm in diameter as the separation target, a flow channel was fabricated and separation conditions were investigated by particle trajectory calculations for separation experiments. Based on the calculation results, a solenoid-type superconducting magnet was used as a source of magnetic field to conduct separation experiments of micro-plastics in seawater. Although a high separation rate was assumed in the simulation results, the experimental results did not show any significant improvement in the separation rate due to the electromagnetic Archimedes force. It was found that the gas generated by the electrolytic reaction may have inhibited the migration of the particles.

  • ${\gamma}-Oryzanol-loaded$ calcium-pectin micro- and nanocapsules were prepared by ionic gelation to improve oxidation stability and the effect of particle size on capsule properties was investigated. The physical properties were influenced by preparation conditions such as concentrations of pectin, $CaCl_2$, ${\gamma}-oryzanol$, and hardening time. Particle sizes of micro- and nanocapsules that showed the maximum encapsulation efficiency and sustained release were $2.27{\pm}0.02mm$ and $347.7{\pm}58.1nm$, respectively. Microcapsules showed higher encapsulation efficiency ($50.73{\pm}1.98%$) than nanocapsules ($17.70{\pm}2.04%$), while nanocapsules showed more sustained release and higher stability than microcapsules. Release of ${\gamma}-oryzanol$ from both microand nanocapsules, which was low in gastric environments and promoted in intestinal environments, showed suitable characteristics for oral administration. Furthermore, antioxidant activity of ${\gamma}-oryzanol$ against autoxidation of linoleic acid was prolonged by both micro- and nanoencapsulation in a ferric thiocyanate test. Therefore, micro- and nanoencapsulation using pectin can be effective for improving biodelivery, stability, and antioxidant activity of ${\gamma}-oryzanol$.
