Intricate deflection requires many conventional actuators (motors, pistons etc.), which can be financially and spatially wasteful. Novel smart soft composite (SSC) actuators have been suggested, but fabrication complexity restricts their widespread use as general-purpose actuators. In this study, a hybrid manufacturing process comprising 3-D printing and casting was developed for automated fabrication of SSC actuators with $200{\mu}m$ precision, using a 3-D printer (3DISON, ROKIT), a simple polymer mixer, and a compressor controller. A method to improve precision is suggested, and the design compensates for deposition and backlash errors (maximum, $170{\mu}m$). A suitable flow rate and tool path are suggested for the polymer casting process. The equipment and process costs proposed here are lower than those of existing 3D printers for a multi-material deposition system and the technique has $200{\mu}m$ precision, which is suitable for fabrication of SSC actuators.

A sputter-sublimation source was tested for high rate deposition of protective coating of PEMFC(polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell) with high electrical conductivity and anti-corrosion capability by DC biasing of a metal rod immersed in inductively coupled plasma. A SUS(stainless steel) tube, rod were tested for low thermal conductivity materials and copper for high thermal conductivity ones. At 10 mTorr of Ar ICP(inductively coupled plasma) with 2.4 MHz, 300 W, the surface temperature of a SUS rod reached to $1,289^{\circ}C$ with a dc bias of 150 W (-706 V, 0.21 A) in 2 mins. For 10 min of sputter-sublimation, 0.1 gr of SUS rod was sputter-sublimated which is a good evidence of a high rate deposition source. ICP is used for sputter-sublimation of a target material, for substrate pre-treatment, film quality improvement by high energy particle bombardment and reactive deposition.

본 연구에서는 샴푸에 널리 사용되는 양이온성 폴리머 중, 양이온성 구아 폴리머를 선택적으로 사용하여, 다양한 성능평가를 통해 0.7 % 질소함량 이상의 치환도와 190~200 cps사이의 점도를 가지는 새로운 양이온성 구아 폴리머를 개발하였다. 성능평가로는 헹굼 시 모발 부드러움(Wet combing ability), 폴리머의 잔존정도와 실리콘의 흡착정도를 측정하였으며 최종적으로 관능평가를 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 개발된 양이온성 구아 폴리머를 배합하면 샴푸 사용감을 최적화할 수 있을 것이다.

Some biodegradable polymers and other materials such as hydrogels have shown the promising potential for surgical applications. Post surgical adhesion caused by the natural consequence of surgical wound healing results in repeated surgery and harmful effects. Recently, scientists have developed absorbable anti-adhesion barriers that can protect a tissue from adhesion in case they are in use; however, they are dissolved when no longer needed. Although these approaches have been attempted to fulfill the criteria for adhesion prevention, none can perfectly prevent adhesions in all situations. Overall, we developed a new method to fabricate an anti-adhesion membrane using biodegradable polymer and hydrogel. It employed a highly accurate three-dimensional positioning system with pressure-controlled syringe to deposit biopolymer solution. The pressure-activated microsyringe was equipped with fine-bore nozzles of various inner-diameters. This process allowed that inner and outer shapes could be controlled arbitrarily when it was applied to a surgical region with arbitrary shapes. In order to fulfill the properties of the ideal barriers f3r preventing postoperative adhesion, we adopted the pre-mentioned method combined with surface modification with the hydrogel coating by which anti-adhesion property was improved.

최근 조직 공학 분야에서는 폴리카프로락톤(PCL), 수산화인회석, 삼인산칼슘, 이상인산칼슘(BCP), 지르코니아(Zirconia, $ZrO_2$) 와 같은 합성 생체폴리머와 생체세라믹 등은 다양한 생체 조직 또는 장기를 재생하는데 필요한 대체재로 사용되고 있다. 따라서, 본 연구의 목적은 골 조직 재생을 위한 혼합된 $ZrO_2$/BCP/PCL(ZBP) 인공지지체의 특성을 관찰하기 위함이다. 단선 패터닝 실험의 결과를 토대로 내부연결성 있는 공극을 가지고 $45^{\circ}+135^{\circ}$ 타입과 격자타입의 새로운 복합 공극 패턴을 가지는 혼합된 ZBP 인공지지체는 폴리머 적층시스템에 의해 성공적으로 제작되었다. 뿐만 아니라 기계적 특성에 대한 ZBP 인공지지체의 효과를 분석하였다. 게다가 MG63 세포에 대한 ZBP 인공지지체의 세포 상호작용은 CCK-8 분석을 이용함으로써 평가되었다.

Plasma-polymer thin films (PPTF) have been deposited on a Si(100) wafer and glass under several conditions such as different RF power by using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) system. Ethylcyclohexane, ammonia gas, hydrogen and argon were utilized as organic precursor, doping gas, bubbler gas and carrier gases, respectively. PPTFs were grown up with RF (ratio frequency using 13.56 MHz) powers in the range of 20~60 watt. PPTFs were characterized by FT-IR (Fourier Transform Infrared), FE-SEM (Scanning Electron Microscope), AFM (Atomic Force Microscope), Contact angle and Probe station. The result of FT-IR measurement showed that the PPTFs have high cross-link density nitrogen doping ratio was also changed with a RF power increasing. AFM and FE-SEM also showed that the PPTFs have smooth surface and thickness. Impedance analyzer was utilized for the measurements of C-V curves having different dielectric constant as RF power.

Cu/C films were prepared at room temperature under $Cu(hfac)_2-Ar-H_2$ atmosphere in order to obtain metallized polymer by using ECR-MOCVD(Electron Cyclotron Resonance Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) coupled with a DC bias system. The room temperature MOCVD on polymer substrate could be possible by collaboration of ECR and a DC bias. Structural analysis of the films by ECR was found that fine copper grains embedded in an amorphous polymer matrix with indistinctive interfacial layer. The increase in $H_2$ contents brought on copper-rich film formation with low electric resistance. On the other hand carbon-rich films with low sheet electric resistance were prepared in argon atmosphere. The electric sheet resistance of Cu/C films with good interfacial property were controlled at $10^8$~$10^0$ Ohm/sq. ranges by the $H_2$/Ar mole ratio and the shielding effectiveness of the film showed maximum up to 45dB in the our experimental range.

Copper films were prepared by using ECR-MOCVD(Electron Cyclotron Resonance Metal Organic Chemical Vapor Deposition) coupled with a DC bias system. The DC bias is connected to the electrode which placed 1∼3cm above the polymer substrate. The pulse electrical field around the electrode attracts the positive charged copper ions generated from the dissociation of copper precursor, $Cu(hfac)_2$, under ECR plasma. Condensation of supersaturated copper ions in the space between the electrode and substrate, makes it possible to deposit copper film on the polymer substrate even at room temperature. In this study, optimization of the electrode configuration was carried out in order to obtain the uniform films. The uniformity of the deposited films were closely related to the parameters of electrode geometry such as electrode shape, thickness, grid size and the spacing between electrodes. The most uniform copper film was observed with the electrode that enabled uniform electrical field distribution across the whole dimension of electrode.

중합 박막 트랜지스터의 특성은 유기 반도체에 앞서 게이트유전체 표면의 화학적 변형에 의해 조절 가능하다. 화학적 처리는 자기조립 단분자막 형태의 유전물질과 함께 파생된 tantalum pentoxide($Ta_2O_5$) 표면으로 구성된다. Octadecyl trichlorosilane(OTS), hexamethyldisilazane (HMDS), aminopropyltreithoxysilane(ATS) 자기조립 단분자막의 성장은 중합체로 결합된 poly-3-hexylthiophene(P3HT)의 분위기에서 $0.01\sim0.06cm2/V{\cdot}s$의 이동도로 진행되었다. 이동도 향상 메커니즘은 중합체와 자기조립 단분자막 사이의 분자 상호작용에 영향을 미치는 것으로 확인하였다. 이는 향후 ploymer TFT의 유전박막 중 하나로서 유용하게 사용 될 것이다.

전류 감응형 바이오센서에 응용하기 위해 전도성 고분자 마이크로튜브 어레이를 제작하였다. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)/poly(4-styrenesulfonic acid)(PEDOT/PSS) composite을 전도성 접착제로 하여 템플릿을 전극에 고정한 후 EDOT을 전기화학적으로 중합하였다. 마이크로튜브 어레이는 자체의 넓은 표면적으로 인해 감도 높은 바이오센서로 응용될 수 있으나, 주요 표적물질 중의 하나인 과산화수소에 대한 전기화학적 반응이 느렸다. 과산화수소 산화에 대한 감도를 향상시키기 위해 어레이 전극에 금을 도포하였다. 증착법과 전기화학적 석출법 두 가지 방법을 시도하여 금을 처리하였는데, 이렇게 처리한 전극은 모두 과산화수소에 대한 반응이 크게 향상되었다. 따라서 전도성 고분자 마이크로튜브 어레이에 금을 도포함으로써 과산화수소를 표적물질로 하는 감도 높은 바이오센서 제작이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.
