Improvement of heat sink technology related to the continuous implementation performance and extension of device-life in circumstance of easy heating and more compact space has been becoming more important issue as multi-functional integration and miniaturization trend of electronic gadgets and products has been generalized. In this study, it purposed to minimize of decline of the heat diffusivity by gluing polymer through compounding of inorganic particles which have thermal conductive properties. We used NH-9300 as base resin and used inorganic fillers such as silicon carbide(SiC), aluminum nitride(AlN), and boron nitride(BN) to improve heat diffusivity. After making film which was made from 100 part of acrylic resin mixed hardener(1.0 part more or less) with inorganic particles. The film was matured at $80^{\circ}C$ for 24h. Diffusivity were tested according to sorts of particles and density of particles as well as size and structure of particle to improve the effect of heat sink in view of morphology assessing diffusivity by LFA(Netzsch/LFA 447 Nano Flash) and adhesion strength by UTM(Universal Testing Machine). The correlation between diffusivity of pure inorganic particles and composite as well as the relation between density and morphology of inorganic particles has been studied. The study related morphology showed that globular type had superior diffusivity at low density of 25% but on the contarary globular type was inferior to non-globular type at high density of 80%.

Metal matrix composite (MMC) materials having low electrical contact resistance based on 316L stainless steel (STS) matrix alloy with $ZrB_2$ particles were fabricated for PEMFC (Polymer Electrolyte Membrane Fuel Cell) separator by powder metallurgy (PM). The effects of the boride particle addition into the matrix alloy on microstructure, surface morphology, and interfacial contact resistance (ICR) between the samples and gas diffusion layer (GDL) were investigated. Both conventional and PM 316L STS samples showed high ICR due to the existence of non-conductive passive film on the alloy surface. The addition of the boride particles, however, remarkably reduced ICR of the samples. SEM observation revealed that the boride particles were protruded out of the matrix surface and particle density existing on the surface increased with increasing the boride content, causing increase of the total contact area between the conductive particles and GDL. ICR of the samples also decreased with increasing the boride content resulted from the increased contact area.

본 연구에서는 박테리아 셀룰로오스(BC)와 같은 천연고분자에 전도성 고분자 PEDOT:PEG와 graphene, 은나노와이어(AgNW)를 코팅하여 전도성을 부여하고자 하였다. 미리 PEDOT:PEG와 황산을 10~20%를 혼합하여 그 용액을 전자 스핀 코팅으로 BC 기판에 코팅하였다. 그 후, 전도성을 향상시키고자 graphene과 AgNW로 코팅하여 hall effect로 측정하였다. 그 결과, 대조군 PEDOT:PEG로 코팅한 BC 막의 전자농도($2.487{\times}10^{10}/cm^3$)에 비해 PEDOT:PEG에 황산을 10%로 혼합하여 코팅시킨 BC막($8.093{\times}10^{15}/cm^3$) 쪽이 $3.25{\times}10^5$배 높은 값을 나타내는 것으로 전도도가 대폭 향상되었음을 알 수 있었다. 또한, SEM분석으로 PEDOT:PEG가 황산처리에 의해 폴리머 형상으로 변화된 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 분자구조의 변화를 FTIR분석결과 $1200cm^{-1}$ 파장의 S-O그룹이 황산처리 전에 비해 황산 혼합한 쪽에서 크게 상승된 것이 확인되었다. 이 방법을 이용하여 소량의 PEDOT:PEG사용으로 투명성을 확보할 수 있으며 미리 황산을 처리하는 것으로 제조공정을 단순하게 할 것으로 사료된다.

Electronic skin (or E-skin) is an artificial smart skin composed of one or more than two sensors. E-skins detect external stimuli and convert them into electrical signals. Various types of E-skin sensors exist, including mechanical, physical, and chemical, depending on the detection signals involved. For wearable E-skins with superior sensitivity and reliability, developing conductors that possess both good elasticity and sensitivity is essential. Typical electrical conductors used in these sensors show very high sensitivity, but they have drawbacks such as non-linearity, irreversibility, and a narrow sensing range. To address these issues, stretchable and lightweight ionic conductors have been actively used in E-skin applications. This study summarizes the recent progress on various types of ionic conductors and ionic-conductor-based E-skin sensors.

본 논문에서는 간단한 플라스틱전자패키지의 폴리머 흡습특성 평가 방법을 제시하였다. 흡습팽창에 의한 변형을 측정하고 유한요소법으로 해석하였다. 흡습특성 평가를 위해 시편제작을 제작하고, 흡습시간에 따라 폴리머에 내재된 수분질량을 측정하여, 수치해석 결과와 비교분석하였다. 흡습확산 방정식은 열전달 방정식과 유사한 형태를 가지고 있기 때문에 열전달 해석 절차에 따라 상용 유한요소코드를 적용하여 흡습압력비를 구하고, 자체코드로 흡습질량을 계산하였다. 비전도성 폴리머는 동일 제품이라도 생산시기에 따라 흡습특성에 변화가 있었다. 여러 가지 흡습특성에 대해 흡습질량을 수치해석으로부터 계산하고 측정치에 가장 근접한 흡습질량 변화의 그래프를 선택하여 최적의 확산계수와 용해도를 구하였다. 제시된 방법은 빠른 대응을 요구하는 생산현장에서 반도체 패키지 폴리머의 흡습특성을 신속하게 평가하는 데 적용될 수 있을 것이다. 또한 흡습팽창을 모아레 간섭계로 측정하고 수치해석으로 비교하였다. 결과적으로 흡습질량의 측정값과 수치해석 결과를 비교하여 용해도와 확산계수는 0.0320 [g/mm/N]과 0.243 [$mm^2/{\mu}s$]으로 결정하였고, ANSYS 구조해석에 의한 변형은 모아레 간섭에 의한 측정결과와 매우 유사하였다.

Conductive and dielectric SiC are fabricated using electroless plating of Ni-Fe films on SiC chopped fibers to obtain lightweight and high-strength microwave absorbers. The electroless plating of Ni-Fe films is achieved using a two-step process of surface sensitizing and metal plating. The complex permeability and permittivity are measured for the composite specimens with the metalized SiC chopped fibers dispersed in a silicone rubber matrix. The original non-coated SiC fibers exhibit considerable dielectric losses. The complex permeability spectrum does not change significantly with the Ni-Fe coating. Moreover, dielectric constant is sensitively increased with Ni-Fe coating, owing to the increase of the space charge polarization. The improvements in absorption capability (lower reflection loss and small matching thickness) are evident with Ni-Fe coating on SiC fibers. For the composite SiC fibers coated with Ni-Fe thin films, a -35 dB reflection loss is predicted at 7.6 GHz with a matching thickness of 4 mm.

This talk will begin with the demonstration of facile synthesis of silicon nanostructures using the magnesiothermic reduction on silica nanostructures prepared via self-assembly, which will be followed by the characterization results of their performance for energy storage. This talk will also report the fabrication and characterization of highly porous, stretchable, and conductive polymer nanocomposites embedded with carbon nanotubes (CNTs) for application in flexible lithium-ion batteries. It will be presented that the porous CNT-embedded PDMS nanocomposites are capable of good electrochemical performance with mechanical flexibility, suggesting these nanocomposites could be outstanding anode candidates for use in flexible lithium-ion batteries. Directed self-assembly (DSA) of block copolymers (BCPs) can generate uniform and periodic patterns within guiding templates, and has been one of the promising nanofabrication methodologies for resolving the resolution limit of optical lithography. BCP self-assembly processing is scalable and of low cost, and is well-suited for integration with existing semiconductor manufacturing techniques. This talk will introduce recent research results (of my research group) on the self-assembly of Si-containing block copolymers for the achievement of sub-10 nm resolution, fast pattern generation, transfer-printing capability onto nonplanar substrates, and device applications for nonvolatile memories. An extraordinarily facile nanofabrication approach that enables sub-10 nm resolutions through the synergic combination of nanotransfer printing (nTP) and DSA of block copolymers is also introduced. This simple printing method can be applied on oxides, metals, polymers, and non-planar substrates without pretreatments. This talk will also report the direct formation of ordered memristor nanostructures on metal and graphene electrodes by the self-assembly of Si-containing BCPs. This approach offers a practical pathway to fabricate high-density resistive memory devices without using high-cost lithography and pattern-transfer processes. Finally, this talk will present a novel approach that can relieve the power consumption issue of phase-change memories by incorporating a thin $SiO_x$ layer formed by BCP self-assembly, which locally blocks the contact between a heater electrode and a phase-change material and reduces the phase-change volume. The writing current decreases by 5 times (corresponding to a power reduction of 1/20) as the occupying area fraction of $SiO_x$ nanostructures varies.

본 연구에서는 물리적 강도가 강한 천연 고분자인 박테리아 셀룰로오스(BC)를 기반으로 전기적 성질이 매우 뛰어난 그래핀을 결합시켜 터치 스크린과 같은 투명 전도성 필름을 제조할 수 있는 가능성을 확인하고자 한다. 그래핀을 BC와 결합하기 위해서 라디오파의 인가강도와 처리시간을 달리하여 상온에서 산소 플라즈마 처리를 통해 표면을 개질시켰다. 개질된 그래핀의 물에 대한 접촉각이 $130^{\circ}$에서 $12^{\circ}$로 매우 작아진 것으로 친수성이 향상되었다. 또한, XPS분석에서는 graphene 처리 전 산소함유량 2.99%에서 10.98%로 크게 증가하였다. 그래핀의 손상은 Raman 분석에서 $I_D/I_G$ 비로 정도를 알 수 있다. 처리 전 $I_D/I_G$ 비가 0.11로 손상 정도가 가장 낮았고, 처리 후 0.36~0.43으로 처리 전에 비해 그래핀의 구조적 결함이 증가하였다. 용해시킨 BC에 그래핀을 0~0.04 wt% 첨가하여 제조한 막의 XRD 분석에 의하면 BC막과 plasma 처리된 graphene이 함유된 결합막이 동일한 $2{\theta}$로서 화학적으로 잘 결합되었음을 확인하였다. 이는 SEM 이미지에서 BC와 그래핀의 결합 상태를 확인한 것과 일치하였다. FT-IR 분석에서 플라즈마 처리한 그래핀이 함유된 결합막의 1,000~1,300 $cm^{-1}$ (C=O)에서의 피크가 커진 것으로 보아 plasma 처리된 graphene에서 산소기가 생성되었음을 알 수 있었다. 이와 같은 결과로부터 BC의 물리적인 강점을 기반으로 하여 그래핀을 결합시킨다면 신규의 투명 전도성 소재를 개발할 수 있으리라 사료된다.
