  • We have designed and developed a new ladder type tetrafused ${\pi}$-conjugated building block such as dihydroindolo[3,2-b]indole (DINI) and investigated its role as an electron rich unit. The photovoltaic properties of a new semiconducting ${\pi}$-conjugated polymer, poly[[5,10-bisoctyl-5,10-dihydroindolo[3,2-b]indole-[5,6- bis(octyloxy)-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl)benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole]], represented by PDINI-OBTC8 are described. The new polymer PDINI-OBTC8 was synthesized in donor-acceptor (D-A) fashion, where fused ${\pi}$-conjugated tetracyclic DINI, and 5,6-bis(octyloxy)-4,7-di(thiophen-2-yl) benzo[c][1,2,5]thiadiazole (OBTC8) were employed as electron rich (donor) and electron deficient (acceptor) moieties, respectively. The conventional bulk heterojunction (BHJ) device structure ITO/PEDOT:PSS/PDINI-OBTC8:PCB71M/LiF/Al was utilized to fabricate polymer solar cells (PSCs), which comprises the blend of PDINI-OBTC8 and [6,6]-phenyl-$C_{71}$-butyric acid methyl ester ($PC_{71}BM$) in BHJ network. A BHJ PSC that contain PDINI-OBTC8 delivered power conversion efficiency (PCE) value of 1.68% with 1 vol% of 1,8-diidooctane (DIO) under the illumination of A.M 1.5G 100 $mW/cm^2$.

  • Magnetostrictive materials are routinely employed as actuator and sensor elements in a wide variety of noise and vibration control problems. In infrastructural applications, other technologies such as hydraulic actuation, piezoelectric materials and more recently, magnetorheological fluids, are being favored for actuation and sensing purposes. These technologies have reached a degree of technical maturity and in some cases, cost effectiveness, which justify their broad use in infrastructural applications. Advanced civil structures present new challenges in the areas of condition monitoring and repair, reliability, and high-authority actuation which motivate the need to explore new methods and materials recently developed in the areas of materials science and transducer design. This paper provides an overview of a class of materials that because of the large force, displacement, and energy conversion effciency that it can provide is being considered in a growing number of quasistatic and dynamic applications. Since magnetostriction involves a bidirectional energy exchange between magnetic and elastic states, magnetostrictive materials provide mechanisms both for actuation and sensing. This paper provides an overview of materials, methods and applications with the goal to inspire novel solutions based on magnetostrictive materials for the design and control of advanced infrastructural systems.

  • Inkjet printing technology can reduce the LCD color filter manufacturing cost more than 50 %. Uniform color filter patterning can be achieved only with proper ink and barrier materials. We developed new ink and black matrix materials for inkjet color filter. The ink materials have low volatility while they have very high solid content. The black matrix materials have very precisely controlled surface energy so that the inks can fill the pixels evenly and completely. We controlled the ink drop volume and ink material to minimize the thickness difference between the black matrix and the color pixel. Micron-order jetting position accuracy was achieved. We successfully printed 14.1" color filters using our ink and black matrix materials.

  • Using the favorable resorption behavior of amorphous Calcium phosphate (CaP) we fabricated a gelatin basednano fibrous mat by electrospinning for using as a fast healing patch for minorbone defects. Bone is predominantly formed by an inorganic phase of nano-crystalline HAp materials and nano fibrous protein material of collagen. The osteoblast cells, which are the bone formation cells and are key to the new bone formation, receive these materials to form new bone. Taking these considerations we make a new nano fibrous mat of amorphous CaP and gelatin, which is derived from collagen itself. A polymer carrier of poly caprolactone(PCL) was used in the system to stabilize the materials in biological condition. The electrospinning conditions were optimized for smooth mat without any droplet formation. The fabricated mat was characterized for its morphologyby SEM. Mechanical properties like tensile strength was evaluated. To investigate the bio-compatibility we performed the MTT assay and investigated its resorption behavior and apatite formation behavior by SBF immersion.

  • The new computer program, visual SolidMech (ver 2.0), for mechanics of materials and structural mechanics has been developed using visual C++. The visual SolidMech is organized in a format similar to most standard texts on mechanics of materials and structural mechanics. This program consists of a number of menus to perform various calculations as well as a set of dedicated graphical user interfaces. Solutions to problems are given in both graphical and numerical forms. The visual SolidMech will help students develop problem-solving skills by showing them the important factors affecting various problem types, by helping them visualize the nature of internal stresses and member deformations, and by providing them an easy-to-use means of investigating a greater number of problems and variations. This new program can be utilized as a supplement to existing texts in mechanics of materials and structural mechanics.

  • In order to overcome the problems of existing low-dimensional materials (carbon nanotubes, graphene, transition metal dichalcogenides, etc) researches on new 1D materials have been studied. In the case of $LiMo_3Se_3$ and $Mo_6S_{9-x}I_x$, continuous researches have been carried out for 3D bulk synthesis and atomic scale dispersion. Recently, quantum confinement effect of $LiMo_3Se_3$ and bio-stability of $Mo_6S_{9-x}I_x$ have been proven and various applications have started to be studied. In addition, device application results using new 1D materials such as $Sb_2Se_3$ (optoelectronic devices using the property of effectively reducing exciton decay due to no dangling bond) and $VS_4$ (electrochemical energy storage using the space between 1-D nanostructures) have been reported very importantly. Therefore, it can be claimed that it has reached a very important time to find and synthesize new 1D materials and to report various characteristics not existing.

  • The new Modified-690Gd alloy, namely as Ni-30Cr-(10-x) Fe-xGd (x = 0.5, 1.0, 1.5,2.0, 3.0 wt%) for function structure integrated thermal neutron shielding has been prepared and characterized. The Modified-690Gd alloy was mainly composed of γ austenite matrix and (Ni, Cr, Fe)5Gd precipitated along grain boundaries. The new Modified-690Gd alloy had great mechanical properties, which had the tensile strength exceeding 620 MPa and the elongation being above 50%. Meanwhile, this alloy had excellent weldability and good corrosion resistance in boric acid. The new Modified-690Gd alloy is expected to be a kind of high efficiency thermal neutron shielding materials.

  • The aim of this study was to develop a potential process for bioethanol production from Hydrodictyon reticulatum (HR), a filamentous freshwater alga, using Saccharomyces cerevisiae (KCTC7017). From the sugar solutions prepared by the four different hydrolysis methods, bioethanol production ranged from 11.0 g/100 g dried material (acid hydrolysis) to 22.3 g/100 g dried material (enzymatic hydrolysis, EH). Bioethanol was fermented from a highly concentrated sugar solution obtained by a decompression-mediated (vacuum) enrichment method (VE). As the results, ethanol was more efficiently produced from HR when sugar solutions were concentrated by VE following EH (EH/VE). Using multiple feeding of the sugar solution prepared by EH/VE from HR, ethanol reached up to a concentration of 54.3 g/l, corresponding to 24.9 g/100 g dried material, which attained the economic level of product concentration (approximately 5%). The results indicate that by using HR, it is feasible to establish a bioethanol production process, which is effective for using microalgae as the raw material for ethanol production.
