The self-weight of the 3D printing concrete increases with increasing printing height. Therefore, the lower layer must be hardened within a suitable time to secure continuous printing performance. In particular, the hardening speed of concrete is slow in the winter season when the temperature was low. Hence, the early strength of 3D printing concrete requires improvement. In domestic and international literature, cases of increasing the early strength of concrete using inorganic chemical additives, such as amine-based, nitrate-based, sodium-based, and calcium-based, have been reported. In this study, early strength improvement-type additive samples (amine-based, nitrate-based, sodium-based) were prepared, and their performance was evaluated. When using a nitrate-based additive, the early strength was increased significantly in a 10 ℃ environment. In addition, it was possible to secure a higher early strength than the existing 3D printing concrete mixed at 20 ℃.

The history of printing technology in Korea is studied by investigating existing ancient documents and records and comparing accumulated data and knowledge. Cultural property research requires non-destructive testing and observation with the naked eye or aided by a microscope. Researchers' experience and knowledge are required even though they cannot guarantee the outcome. For ancient documents and records that are presumed to consist of woodblock printing, wood type printing, metal type printing, or their combinations, each researcher draws various opinions and conclusions. This often causes confusion and divides the opinions of ordinary citizens and field specialists. Among them, the criteria for judging ancient documents or books printed using woodblock and metal movable material are ambiguous. Academic research on the development history of printing technology in ancient Korea has been stagnant, and conflicts among researchers have also erupted. Involvement of national investigative agencies not specialized in cultural properties has exacerbated the situation. In this study, we investigated printing characteristics that are likely to serve as more objective judgment criteria by quantitatively analyzing the experiments of retrieving several sheets of Korean paper (Hanji) using a replicated Hunminjeongeum (訓民正音) woodblock and quantitatively analyzing the images of the printed papers. In addition, the validity and questions for the typical phenomena presented as a method for distinguishing between woodblock and metal print are reviewed. We investigated the possibility of developing new objective judgement criteria through quantitative analysis using image analysis and investigating the printing characteristics of Korean paper through a reproduction experiment of woodblock printing.

Zinc tin oxide (ZTO) sol-gel solution was synthesized for ink-jet printable semiconducting ink. Bottom-contact type TFT was produced by printing the ZTO layer between the source and drain electrodes. The transistor involving the ink-jet printed ZTO had the $mobility\;{\sim}\;0.01\;cm^2V^{-1}s^{-1}$. We demonstrated the direct-writing of semiconducting oxide for solution processed TFT fabrication.

This paper proposes a printing quality inspection system of film-type envelopment. Since the printing system is running at very high-speed (140m/min.) and the line error has very narrow width, we have to choose one-dimensional high-speed and high-resolution line scan camera. The vibration of the printing machine and the illumination environment make the inspection problem more harder. To obtain reliable inspection results, many software image processing techniques are applied and many parameters are tuned. The performance of the proposed system is proved by many simulations and long time real-plant experiments.

In this paper, we developed an electrochemical glucose sensor strip using a paper substrate. The paper glucose sensor strip is eco-friendly because it uses paper as a substrate, and it has the advantage that it can be manufactured only with four printing, drying and cutting processes. The paper glucose sensor is significantly simplified by the production process than the conventional glucose sensors because the production of only four printing on the paper substrate. In this paper, eco-friendly tracing paper was used to develop a paper glucose sensor strip, and screen-printing technology was used to form a carbon/silver electrode, insulating layer and glucose oxidase(GOD) layer. The developed paper glucose sensor strip has a flat structure with a size of 30 × 4.6 ㎟, and blood injection is a type of direct contact with the exposed enzyme layer above the strip. In this paper, the performance of paper glucose sensor strips was evaluated by analyzing the cyclic voltammetry(CV) and chronoamperometry(CA) characteristics.

This paper is related to a roll-type micro-contact printing process. The proper parameters such as coating velocity, inking velocity, printing velocity and printing pressure as well as Ag contents of Ag ink were extracted to perform the fine patterning of Ag electrodes. Additionally we developed a process for PDMS with high uniform thickness. Finally, we obtained the Ag fine electrodes on $4.5cm\;{\times}\;4.5cm$ plastic substrate with the line width of 10 um, thickness less than 300 nm, surface roughness less than 40 nm, and the specific resistance of $2.08\;{\times}\;10^{-5}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$.

3D printing technology in the construction field is currently being developed and commercialized actively in foreign countries, but the development of material and equipment is underway as an initial research stage in Korea. It is necessary to implement commercialization through the introduction of 3D printing technology in the construction field as soon as possible in Korea, but there is no guideline for suitable equipment and materials in Korea at present. Therefore, in order to help prepare for commercialization, it is necessary to provide data such as equipment size and materials suitable for commercialization at the initial stage. This study investigates the types, specifications, and applications of equipment that are being used overseas to provide the equipment type and material cost required in the initial stage of commercialization in Korea. Using the surveyed data, it was possible to calculate the advantages and disadvantages of the equipment type and specification, and the cost of materials used. As a result of the analysis, Gantry type is suitable for the domestic commercialization, and the standard of the output area is $100m^2$ and the extrusion amount of $250m^3/sec$ is proposed, and the material cost of the commercial product is 20thousand won. The suggestions in this study will help to plan the construction of products and equipments to commercialize 3D printing technology in construction field in the future.

Employing screen printing technology, aluminum is applied to the back side of the n-type silicon wafer to see the effect of the heat treatment parameters on the Voc of the solar cell, Heat treatment at $850^{\circ}C$ produces the highest Voc among various heat treatment conditions. Heat treatment at the temperatures higher than $850^{\circ}C$ results in lower Voc, which is due to the destruction of the Al-Si alloy emitter layer. The destruction of Al-Si layer observed to be caused by the vigorous movement of silicon atoms toward aluminum layer during the heat treatment.

Fused deposition modeling (FDM), based on stacking a continuous filament of polymer or composite materials, is well matured and is thus widely used in additive manufacturing technology. To advance FDM-based 3D printing technology, the mechanical properties of additively manufactured composite materials must be improved. In this study, we proposed a novel FDM 3D printing process using metal wire-polymer composites, enabling enhanced mechanical properties. In addition, we developed a new type FDM filament of copper wire wrapped in nylon material for stable 3D printing without thermal damage during the printing process. After FDM printing of the copper wire-nylon composite filament, we conducted a tensile test to investigate the mechanical behavior of the printed composite materials. The experimental results confirmed that the tensile strength of the 3D-printed metal wire-polymer composites was higher than that of the conventional single polymer material. Thus, we expect that the FDM printing process developed in this study may be promising for high-load-bearing applications.

A new rotary gravure-offset printing unit is constructed by paralleling a gravure plate cylinder, a blanket cylinder and a impression roller. A Muti-Unit Gravure-Offset Printing Press(MUGOP) equipped with a series of the 3 printing units is utilized for roll-to-roll fine printing. Its core technology is precise over-piling printing of fine patterns. The severe problems of 'slurring' and 'doubling' in typical offset printing are unavoidable, which can be eliminated by applying a soft pad-type blanket cylinder and the unique 'true rolling' technique. Nip pressure between the blanket cylinder and the plate cylinder is measured by the constant pressure control system which equipped with load cells attached on the cylinders' axes. The running circumference of the blanket cylinder is increased to reach the same circumference of the plate cylinder as the pressure increasing, so that the specifications of the blanket cylinder is determined by the relationships of its shore hardness, diameter and nip pressure. When a softer blanket is used, a blanket cylinder of smaller diameter could give higher nip pressure. Realization of the true rolling technique on the MUGOP makes multilayer printing possible as well as fine printing in printed electronics.
