Piezoelectric energy harvesting technologies, which can be used to convert the electricity from the mechanical energy, have been developed in order to assist or power the wearable electronics. To realize non-toxic and biocompatible electronics, the lead-free (Ba_0.85Ca_0.15)(Ti_0.90Zr_0.10)O₃ (BCTZ) nanoparticles (NPs) are being studied with a great attention as flexible energy harvesting device. Herein, piezoelectric hybrid nanocomposites were fabricated using BCTZ NPs-embedded poly(vinylidene fluoride-trifluoroethylene) [P(VDF-TrFE)] matrix to improve the performance of flexible energy harvester. Output performance of the fabricated energy device was investigated by the well-optimized measurement system during the periodically bending and releasing motions. The generated open-circuit voltage and the short-circuit current of the piezoelectric hybrid nanocomposite-based energy harvester reached up to ~15 V and ~1.1 ㎂, respectively; moreover, the instantaneous power of 3.5 ㎼ is determined from load voltage and current at the external load of 20 MΩ. This research is expected to cultivate a new approach to high-performance wearable self-powering electronics.

A flexible piezoelectric energy harvester(f-PEH) that converts tiny mechanical and vibrational energy resources into electric signals without any restraints is drawing attention as a self-powered source to operate flexible electronic systems. In particular, the nanocomposites-based f-PEHs fabricated by a simple and low-cost spin-coating method show a mechanically stable and high output performance compared to only piezoelectric polymers or perovskite thin films. Here, the non-piezoelectric polymer matrix of the nanocomposite-based f-PEH is replaced by a P(VDF-TrFE) piezoelectric polymer to improve the output performance generated from the f-PEH. The piezoelectric hybrid nanocomposite is produced by distributing the perovskite PZT nanoparticles inside the piezoelectric elastomer; subsequently, the piezoelectric hybrid material is spin-coated onto a thin metal substrate to achieve a nanocomposite-based f-PEH. A fabricated energy device after a two-step poling process shows a maximum output voltage of 9.4 V and a current of 160 nA under repeated mechanical bending. Finite element analysis(FEA) simulation results support the experimental results.

We achieved high efficiency and long lifetime in small-molecule organic light-emitting diodes using a blend of polyaniline-based conducting polymer and a perfluorinated ionomer as a hole injection layer (HIL). The HIL formed by single spin coating greatly enhanced the surface work function and thus the hole injection from the anode, which resulted in great improvement in device luminous efficiency. We find that the solution processed HIL outperforms the conventional vacuum-deposited small molecule HIL in terms of the device performance.

자외선 경화 반응에 의해 만들어지는 고분자/액정 복합막에서 자외선 광 개시제의 농도, 복합막의 두께 및 중합에 의한 상분리 시의 온도, 전기장의 영향 등 제조 외부 조건에 따른 복합막의 전기 광학적 특성의 변화에 대하여 조사를 하였다. 광개시제나 다관능성 단량체의 농도증가에 따라 고분자 매트릭스의 가교밀도가 증가하고 상대적으로 더 작은 액정상이 형성되며 그에 따라 액정과 고분자의 계면 면적이 넓어져 복합막의 구동전압이 증가하는 것이 관찰되었다. 분자량이 서로 다른 두 종류의 diacrylate 형의 올리고머를 사용하여 만든 복합막에 있어서는 분자량이 큰 PTDA-1000을 사용한 경우 복합막의 초기 투명도는 더 올라가지만 일정한 구동전압 이상에서 투명도의 포화 상태가 일어나는 데 반하여 분자량이 적은 PTDA-250을 사용한 경우에는 필름의 초기 투명도가 훨씬 더 낮아지는 대신 60 V 이상의 전압에서도 투명도의 포화 상태가 일어나지 않는 것이 관찰되었다. 중합에 의한 상분리시 온도가 높아질수록 복합막의 초기 투명도는 높아지는 것이 관찰되었으며 이것은 액정/UV 경화 혼합물의 온도가 높아짐에 따라 점도가 낮아지고 용해도는 증가하여서 상대적으로 큰 액정상들이 복합막 내에 생기기 때문인 것으로 생각되었다. 한편 복합막의 두께가 얇을수록 구동전압은 비례적으로 낮아졌으며 중합에 의한 상분리 시에 인가되는 외부전기장의 효과는 전장이 초기 투과도 뿐 아니라 구동전압이나 응답시간에도 영향을 미치는 것이 관찰되었다.

고분자를 기반으로 하는 고체 전해질은 수퍼커패시터, 배터리, 센서, 액추에이터 등 다양한 전기화학 소자에 응용이 가능한 소재로써, 기존 고분자 전해질의 낮은 이온전도도를 향상시키기 위해서 다양한 이온성 액체 기반의 고체 전해질에 관한 연구가 활발히 진행 중에 있다. 이온성 액체의 높은 전기적 특성 및 전기화학적, 열적 안정성과 고분자의 우수한 기계적인 강도를 활용한 젤 상태의 고체 전해질인 이온젤은 차세대 웨어러블 및 플렉시블 전자소자에 응용되어 연구되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 이러한 이온성 액체와 고분자 기반의 고체 전해질을 제조하고 특성을 분석하여 탄소나노복합체 기반의 전극에 적용하여 다양한 전자소자에 응용이 가능한 이온전도도 및 안정성이 향상된 이온성 액체 기반의 고체 전해질을 개발하고자 한다. 제조된 고체전해질은 전기화학적 임피던스법을 이용하여 이온 전도도를 측정하여 보았으며 이온성 액체를 첨가하여 제조한 고체전해질의 이온 전도도가 1.26 × 10^-1 S/cm 로 확인되었다. 또한 제조된 고체 전해질을 이용하여 전고체형 수퍼커패시터를 제조하여 전기화학적 특성을 비교하여 보았으며, 수퍼커패시터의 전기화학적 특성 역시 이온성 액체를 첨가하여 제조된 고체 전해질을 사용하였을 때 향상된 전기화학적 특성을 나타내었다.

Organic materials have considerable attention as active semiconductors for device applications such as thin-film transistors (TFTs) and diodes. Pentacene is a p-type organic semiconducting material investigated for TFTs. In this paper, we reported the morphological and electrical characteristics of pentacene TFT films. The pentacene transistors showed the mobility of 0.8 $\textrm{cm}^2$/Vs and the grains larger than 1 ${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. Deep-level transient spectroscopy (DLTS) measurements were carried out on metal/insulator/organic semiconductor structure devices that had a depletion region at the insulator/organic-semiconductor interface. The duration of the capacitance transient in DLTS signals was several ten of seconds in the pentacene, which was longer than that of inorganic semiconductors such as Si. Based on the DLTS characteristics, the energy levels of hole and electron traps for the pentacene films were approximately 0.24, 1.08, and 0.31 eV above Ev, and 0.69 eV below Ec.

For the micro conductive line, memory device fabrication process use many expensive processes such as manufactur-ing of photo mask, coating of photo resist, exposure, development, and etching. However, direct printing technology has the merits about simple and cost effective processes because nano-metal particles contained inks are directly injective without mask. And also, this technology has the advantage about fabrication of fine pattern line on various substrates such as FPCB, PCB, glass, polymer and so on. In this work, we have fabricated the fine and thick metal pattern line on flexible PCB substrate for the next generation electronic circuit using Ag nano-particles contained ink. To improve the line tolerance on flexible PCB, metal lines are fabricated by sequential prinitng method. Sequential printing method has vari-ous merits about fine, thick and high resolution pattern lines without bulge.

In this paper, the characteristics of a carbon nanotube composite heat sink proposed to replace the advanced Al heat sinks for LED lighting devices were studied. Proposed CMP-PLA heat sink was made by mixing 20~70 wt% carbon nanotube, 20~70 wt% bio-degradable polymer of melt-blended PLA (poly lactic acid) and PBS (poly butylene succinate) and PLA nucleating agents composed of the mixture of soybean oil and biotites, at $150{\sim}220^{\circ}C$ with 1,000~1,500 rpm. Optical and electric characteristics of 7.5 W LED lighting devices using heat sinks with such prepared CMP-PLA were investigated. And, the properties of the heat, which was not released from the CMP-PLA type heat sinks, was also investigated. The color temperature of LED lighting devices using the CMP-PLA heat sinks was 5,956 K, which is x= 0.32 and y= 0.34 in the XY chromaticity, and the color rendering index was 75. The luminous flux and the luminous efficiency of LED lighting devices using the CMP-PLA heat sinks was 540.6 lm and 72.68 lm/W respectively. Measured initial temperature of the heat sinks was $27^{\circ}C$, and their temperature increased as time to be saturated at $52^{\circ}C$ after an hour.

$BaTiO_3$ has high permittivity so that has been applied to dielectric and insulator materials in 3D system-level package integration. In order to achieve excellent performance of device, the $BaTiO_3$ layer should be highly dense. In this study, $BaTiO_3$ thick films were prepared by the inkjet printing method using 4 vol.% $BaTiO_3$ colloidal inks and cured at $28^{\circ}C$ for 5 h after infiltration of polymer resin for non-sintered process using 3 vol.% cyanate ester emulsion ink. From the obtained results. packing density was determined to be improved by overlapping rabbit ears which were generated by coffee ring effect. We also calculated the packing densities of the films and correlated these packing densities to the measured permittivity of the films.

A railway track generates severe levels of vibrations. In order to reduce these vibrations and to provide structural stability, various rail pads, mats, etc., are used for vibration protection. In this study, a specially designed rail pad was developed to reduce vibration and to generate electric power simultaneously, that is, by using the vibrations generated by railway cars on the track. The newly developed rail pads were tested to evaluate the characteristics of electric power by investigating the generated voltage and the current levels and patterns. In addition, we proposed an optimal laminated structure and adhesive by comparing the voltage generated by each type of adhesive required for optimal adhesion of the rail pad and the piezoelectric device.
