Numerical simulation is performed for microdroplet deposition on a pre-patterned micro-structure. The level-set method for tracking the liquid-gas interface is extended to treat the immersed (or irregular-shaped) solid surface. The no-slip condition at the fluid-solid interface as well as the matching conditions at the liquid-gas interface is accurately imposed by incorporating the ghost fluid approach based on a sharp-interface representation. The method is further extended to treat the contact angle condition at an immersed solid surface. The present computation of a patterning process using microdroplet ejection demonstrates that the multiphase characteristics between the liquid-gas-solid phases can be used to improve the patterning accuracy.

Numerical simulation is performed for a microdroplet deposition on the pre-patterned micro-structure. The liquid-air interface is tracked by level set method improved by incorporating the ghost fluid approach based on a sharp-interface representation. The method is further extended to treat the contact angle condition at an immersed solid surface. The present computation of a patterning process using microdroplet ejection demonstrates that the multiphase characteristics between the liquid-gas-solid phases can be used to overcome the patterning error.

Numerical simulation is performed for microdroplet deposition on a pre-patterned micro-structure. The liquid-air interface is tracked by a level-set method, which is improved by incorporating a sharp-interface modeling technique for accurately enforcing the matching conditions at the liquid-gas interface and the no-slip condition at the fluid-solid interface. The method is further extended to treat the contact angle condition at an immersed solid surface. The present computation of a patterning process using microdroplet ejection demonstrates that the multiphase characteristics between the liquid-gas-solid phases can be used to improve the patterning accuracy.

Interfacial properties and microfailure modes of electrodeposition (ED) treated carbon fiber reinforced polyetherimide (PEI) toughened epoxy composite were investigated using microdroplet test and the measurement of surface wettability. As PEI content increased, Interfacial shear strength (IFSS) increased due to enhanced toughness and plastic deformation of PEI. In the untreated case, IFSS increased with adding PEI content, and IFSS of pure PEI matrix showed the highest. On the other hand, for ED-treated case IFSS increased with PEI content with rather low improvement rate. The work of adhesion between fiber and matrix was not directly proportional to IFSS for both the untreated and ED-treated cases. The matrix toughness might contribute to IFSS more likely than the surface wettability. Interfacial properties of epoxy-PEI composite can be affected efficiently by both the control of matrix toughness and ED treatment.

Interfacial and electrical properties for the carbon fiber reinforced epoxy-amine terminated (AT) PEI composites were performed using microdroplet test and electrical resistance measurements. As AT PEI content increased, the fracture toughness of epoxy-AT PEI matrix increased, and IFSS was improved due to the improved toughness and energy absorption mechanisms of AT PEI. The microdroplet in the carbon fiber/neat epoxy composite showed brittle microfailure mode. At 15 wt% AT PEI content, ductile microfailure mode appeared because of improved fracture toughness. After curing, the changes of electrical resistance (ΔR) with increasing AT PEI content increased gradually because of thermal shrinkage. The matrix fracture toughness was correlated to IFSS, TEC and electrical resistance. In cyclic strain test, the maximum stress and their slope of the neat epoxy case were higher than those of 15 wt% AT PEI. The results obtained from electrical resistance measurements under curing process and reversible stress and strain were consistent well with matrix toughness properties.

최근 고부가가치 산물의 생산이 가능한 미세조류는 이산화탄소의 생물학적 전환 측면에서 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 그렇지만 미세조류 종 자체가 지닌 낮은 광합성 효율 및 생산성의 한계는 미세조류를 활용한 공정의 상업화를 막는 장애요인이다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 대표 미세조류 Chlamydomonas reinhardtii의 광독립영양 성장성 분석을 위한 미세액적 광생물반응기를 개발하였다. PDMS 기반의 미세유체 칩 내에 미세기둥을 배열하고 미세챔버의 높이를 조절하여 미세액적 내 이산화탄소의 전달속도를 증가시켰으며, 이는 세포 성장성과 형광 세기 변화를 통해 확인하였다. 마지막으로 미세액적 광생물반응기를 활용하여 다양한 이산화탄소 농도 및 광량 조건에서 C. reinhardtii의 광독립영양배양에서 성장성을 96 시간동안 관찰하고 분석하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 미세액적 광생물반응기는 성장성 및 유용물질 생산성이 우수한 미세조류 종을 빠르게 분석하고 쉽게 분리할 수 있는 효율적인 플랫폼임을 입증하였다.

Many studies of microdroplet evaporation from solid surfaces were made with priority given to inkjet printing and dye painting techniques. The objective of these studies is how to evaporate a droplet quickly and uniformly. Also it is necessary to prevent evaporation of a droplet to observe cells in a droplet generated through cell-patterning. In general, an identical volume of a water droplet on hydrophobic surfaces evaporates slower than that on hydrophilic surfaces. In this study, we observe the evaporation process of a droplet on various hydrophobic surfaces and calculated the evaporation rate considering the droplet geometry such as contact angle and height. This study also proposes a new model based on the fact that evaporation mode at the edge of a droplet is different from that at the outer surface of a droplet as the contact angle changes during evaporation. Finally, we reveal the cause fur the increase of evaporation flux and show that the ratio of edge evaporation to total evaporation increases with time.

Low-temperature plasma (LTP) ionization is one of the ambient ionization methods typically used in mass spectrometry (MS) for fast screening of chemicals with minimal or no sample preparation. In spite of various advantages of LTP ionization method, including simple instrumentation and in-situ analysis, more general applications of the method are limited due to poor desorption of analytes with low volatilities and low ionization efficiencies in the negative ion mode. In order to overcome these limitations, an ultrasonic vibrator of a commercial hand-held humidifier was interfaced with an LTP ionization source, which generated microdroplets from sample solutions and assisted with LTP ionization. Ionization behaviors of various chemicals in microdroplet-assisted LTP (MA LTP) were tested and compared with typical LTP ionization from dried samples applied on a surface. MA LTP efficiently ionized small organic, amino, and fatty acids with low volatilities and high polarities, which were hardly ionized using the standard LTP method. Facile interaction of LTP with ultrafine droplets generated by ultrasonic resonator allows efficient ionization of relatively non-volatile and polar analytes both in the positive and negative ion modes.

Microdroplet 시험법과 전기저항 측정을 이용하여 탄소섬유강화 epoxy-AT-PEI 복합재료의 손상 감지능 및 계면물성평가에 대한 연구를 수행하였다. AT-PEI 함량이 증가함에 따라 기지재료의 파괴인성은 증가하였으며, 이로 인한 에너지흡수 메커니즘에 의해서 계면전단강도 역시 증가하였다. Microdroulet 시험에서 순수 에폭시는 취성파괴 현상을 그리고 15 phr AT-PEI의 경우에는 파괴인성의 증가로 인해 연성 파단 현상을 관찰할 수 있었다. 경화 후에 열 수축에 의한 전기저항 변화는 AT-PEI 함량 증가에 따라 증가하였으며. 가변하중 하에서 순수 에폭시에 함침된 탄소섬유의 같은 응력까지의 도달시간과 기울기는 15 phr AT-PEI의 경우보다 더 빠르고 높았다. 경화과정과 가역적인 하중 하에서의 전기저항 측정으로부터 얻은 결과는 기지재료의 파괴인성과 잘 일치하였다.
