We reported on characteristics of the piezoelectric ceramic-polymer composite for the application of the thick-film speaker. The PVDF-PZT composites were fabricated to incorporate the advantages of both ceramic and polymer with various mixing ratios by 3-roll mill mixer. The composite solutions were coated by the conventional screen-printing method on ITO electrode coated PET (Polyethylene terephthalate) polymer film. After depositing the top-electrode of silver-paste, 4 kV/mm of DC field was applied at $120^{\circ}C$ for 30 min to poling the composite films. The value of $d_{33}$ (piezoelectric charge constant) was increased when the PZT weight percent was increased. The maximum value of the $d_{33}$ was 24 pC/N at 70 wt% PZT. But the $g{33}$ (piezoelectric voltage constant) showed the maximum value of $32mV{\cdot}m/N$ at 65 wt% of PZT powder. The SPL (sound pressure level) of the speaker fabricated with the 65:35 composite film was about 68 dB at 1 kHz.

Recently, there were many researches for efficiency improvement of DSC. Among of these works, research of surface treatment is still a prerequisite for electron diffusion, light-harvesting and surface state of $DSC^{4)}$. Using of the surface treatment, it can be raise up porosity of $TiO_{2}$ nano-crystalline structure on $photo-electrode^{5)}$. There are chemical, physical, electrical and optical methods which raise up its porosity. In this paper, we have designed and manufactured MOPA-type ultrasonic circuit (100W, frequency and duty variable). Manufactured ultrasonic circuit to use to force cavity density and power into $TiO_{2}$ paste. Then, we have optimized forcing time, frequency and duty of ultrasonic irradiation for surface treatment of photo-electrode of DSC. In I-V characteristic test of DSC, ultrasonic and thermal treated DSC shows 19% improved its efficiency against established DSC.

Ploycrystalline $Pb(Zr_{0.5},Ti_{0.5))O_3$ and $BaTiO_3$ powder were prepared by sol-gel process. The alumina substrate were sintered at $1400^{\circ}C$ with bottom electrode of Pt for 2 hours. The Pb(Zr0.5,Ti0.5)O3 / BaTiO3 multilayered thick films with laminating times were fabricated on alumina substrate by screening printing method. The obtained thick films were sintered at $800^{\circ}C$ with upper electrode of Ag paste for 1 hour. Structural properties of Pb(Zr0.5,Ti0.5)O3 / BaTiO3 multilayered thick films were investigated. As a result of the Differential Thermal Analysis(DTA) of Pb(Zr0.5,Ti0.5)O3, exothermic peak was observed at around 650 $^{\circ}C$. The X-ray diffraction (XRD) patterns indicated that BaTiO3 and Pb(Zr0.5,Ti0.5)O3 phases and porosities were formed in the interface of Pb(Zr0.5,Ti0.5)O3 / BaTiO3multilayered thick films.

A making process of DSC(dye sensitized solar cell) was presented. In general, Photo electrodes of DSC was made by using colloid paste of nano $TiO_2$ and processing of Doctor-blade printing and high temperature sintering for porous structure. These methods lead to cracks on $TiO_2$ surface and ununiform of $TiO_2$ thickness. This phenomenon is one factor that makes low efficiency to cells. After $TiO_2$ printing on TCO glass, a physical vibration was adapted for reducing ununiform of $TiO_2$ thickness. And a thermal treatment at low temperature(under $75^{\circ}C$) was adapted for reducing cracks on $TiO_2$ surface. In this paper, we have designed and manufactured an ultrasonic circuit (100W, frequency and duty variable) and a thermal equipment. Then, we have optimized forcing time, frequency and duty of ultrasonic irradiation and thermal heating for surface treatment of photo-electrode of DSC. In I-V characteristic test of DSC, ultrasonic and thermal treated DSC shows 19% improved its efficiency against monolithic DSC. And it shows stability of light-harvesting from drastically change of light irradiation test.

In this work, the effect of addition of acetylacetone on microstructure and quality of nanoporous $TiO_2$ photo-electrodes was studied in dye-sensitized solar cells (DSCs) and structure and electrical properties of fabricated cells were investigated. From the results, the DSCs fabricated with acetyl acetone showed highest photovoltaic performances. This behavior may be attributed to paste agglomeration decrease and interconnection and bonding improvement between $TiO_2$ particles. Furthermore, the most favorable dye absorption time results to be 10h: exceeding this time a decrease in efficiency is observed despite the increasing amount of dye absorption. The $TiO_2$ photo-electrode prepared under the conditions of acetylacetone ratio of 15% and dye absorption time of 10hr showed the better photovoltaic performance ($J_{sc}=12.48mA/cm^2$, $V_{oc}=0.69V$, ff=0.68, ${\eta}=5.86%$).

PDP의 저가화, 친환경화, 고화질화는 타 디스플레이와 경쟁을 위해 필수적이고 그로 인한 소재의 개발이 필요하다. 저가화는 부품, 공정에서도 가능하지만 소재에서의 원가가 상당부분을 차지하고 있기 때문에 소재 개발이 중요하며, 친환경화는 현재 유전체에서 많이 사용되고 있는 유해소재를 친환경 소재로 대체함으로써 개발이 이루어지고 있다. 그래서 우리는 현재 PDP에서 전극물질로 사용되어지는 고가의 Ag를 Gu입자에 Ag 박막으로 코팅한 Ag/Cu 전극 powder를 사용하여 저가의 전극 paste를 만들고 스크린 프린터와 노광장비를 사용하여 전극을 형성하였다. 그 후 친환경적인 Pb free 투명유전체를 입히고 전극과의 상호 매칭성을 연구 하였다. 결과적으로 기존 PDP 공정에서 볼 수 없었던 황변현상, 전극착색현상, 전극입자의 터짐성 등 많은 현상이 일어났지만, 기존 공정 온도보다 낮은 온도로 공정한 결과, 이러한 문제들이 줄어드는 것을 확인하였다. 이로써 공정단가의 저가화와 제품의 친환경을 가면서도 기존과 차이가 제품을 실현할 수 있을 것이다.

Catechol and caffeine were simultaneously analyzed with a bismuth-immobilized carbon nanotube paste electrode (BPE) using square wave (SW) stripping voltammetry. Optimum analytical conditions were determined. Simultaneous working ranges of 100-1,500 $mgL^{-1}$ for caffeine and 5-75 $mgL^{-1}$ for catechol were obtained. In the separated cell systems, a working range of 0.1-2.1 $mgL^{-1}$ catechol with a correlation coefficient of 0.9935, and a working range of 10-210 $mgL^{-1}$ caffeine with a correlation coefficient of 0.9921 were obtained. A detection limit (S/N) of 0.15 $mgL^{-1}$ (7.7 ${\times}$ $10^{-7}$ M) and a detection limit of 0.02 $mgL^{-1}$ (1.82 ${\times}$ $10^{-7}$ M), respectively, manifested for catechol and caffeine. It was found that three macro-type electrode systems could be implanted in fish and rat neuro cells. For both ions, the ion currents were observed. The physiological impulse conditions and the neuronal thinking current were also obtained.
