Recent advances in electronic technology have engendered a need for research on the use of smart materials in clothing. Electro-conductive fibers are expected to be a crucial element of wearable devices. Therefore, in this study, we have attempted to develop electro-conductive threads and cables using silver nanowires. Based on the characteristics of silver nanowire, in which electro-conductivity can be imparted via heat treatment, we prepared conductive threads by coating nylon yarn with silver nanowires and curing at temperatures of 140℃, 150℃, and 160℃. Conductive threads cured at 140℃ had the highest conductivity, followed by threads cured at 160℃ and 150℃ respectively. The order of the electrical conductivity of the threads after tensile testing was consistent with the original order of the conductivity of the threads. When we evaluated the sensing performance of electro-conductive cables fabricated from these threads, the cables manufactured from threads cured at 140℃ and 160℃ were found to function normally within temperature and humidity sensors. All the cables operated normally in illuminance and electrocardiogram sensors. Thus, we believe that threads made of silver nanowire have sufficient electrical conductivity to be utilized as wearable sensors.

Metal coating on ceramic powder has long been attracting interest for various applications such as superconductor where the brittle nature of high temperature ceramic superconductor was complemented by silver coating and metalloceramics where mechanical property improvement was achieved via electroless plating. More recently it has become of great interest in embedded passive device applications since metal coating on ceramic particles may result in the enhancement of the dielectric properties of ceramic-polymer composite capacitors. In our study, nickel ion-containing solution was used for coating commercial capacitor-grade $BaTiO_3$ powder. After filtering process, the powder was dried and heat-treated in 5% forming gas at $900^{\circ}C$. XRD and TEM were utilized for the observation of crystallization behavior and morphology of the particles. It was found that the nickel coating characteristics were strongly dependent on the several parameters and processing variables, such as starting $BaTiO_3$ particle size, nickel source, solution chemistry, coating temperature and time. In this paper, the effects of these variables on the coating characteristics will be presented in some detail.

국내외 썬글라스 반미러 코팅렌즈의 광학적 특성을 파악하기 위해, 분광광도계를 이용하여 반미러 코팅렌즈의 반사율을 측정하였으며, Macleod 프로그램을 이용해 계산한 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 또한 황금 색깔이 나는 TiN을 이용한 반미러 코팅렌즈를 설계하였고, 광학특성을 조사하였다. 반미러 코팅렌즈의 분석결과, 은색 투톤(two tone) 반미러 코팅은 금속 크롬(Cr)을 사용하였으며 경도를 증가시키기 위하여 크롬위에 $SiO_2$(또는 $Al_2O_3$)를 증착하여 사용하였다. 크롬 위에 증착되는 $SiO_2$의 두께는 10nm 정도가 적정한 것으로 판단된다. 칼라 반미러 코팅의 경우 디자인 결과는 각각 다음과 같다 ; blue 계열은 [air|$SiO_2$(66.3)|$TiO_2$(129.0)|$SiO_2$(62.9)|$SiO_2$(26.0)|$TiO_2$(120.3)|$SiO_2$(9.1)|glass]이며, gold 계열은 [air|$SiO_2$(60.6)|$TiO_2$(86.2)|$SiO_2$(13.5)|$TiO_2$(86.8)|$SiO_2$(214.38)|glass]이며, green 계열은 [air|$SiO_2$(74.3)|$TiO_2$(75.8)|$SiO_2$(44.3)|$TiO_2$(11.6)|$SiO_2$(160.8)|$TiO_2$(12.9)|$SiO_2$(183.3)|$TiO_2$(143.8)|glass]이며, silver 계열은 [air|$SiO_2$(21.2)|$TiO_2$(49.7)|$SiO_2$(149.3)|glass]이다. white 반미러 코팅인 경우는 [air|$SiO_2$(17nm)|$TiO_2$(43nm)(또는 $ZrO_2$)|$SiO_2$(87nm) polysiloxane($4.46{\mu}m$)|glass or CR-39]이며, 가시광선 영역(400~700 nm)에서 평균 19%의 반사율을 가지며 흡수가 적기 때문에 약 80%의 투과율을 보이는 white 타입의 반미러가 되게 된다. 황금빛 색깔을 띠는 반미러 코팅렌즈의 설계에 있어서 [air|$SiO_2$(170nm)|TiN(15nm)|glass]가 되면 CIE 좌표값은 거의 [air|Au(150nm)|glass]의 좌표값과 유사해지는 것을 볼 수 있었다.

This study aims to visualize the friction and wear behaviors of metal coatings in real time. The main mechanism of wear is identified by observing all the processes in which wear occurs. The friction coefficients of the moments are monitored to confirm the relationship between the friction and wear characteristics of the coating. Thin Ag coatings, which are several hundred nanometers in thickness, are prepared by depositing Ag atoms on silicon substrates through a sputtering method. A pin-on-disk-type tribo-tester is installed inside a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to evaluate the friction and wear characteristics of the Ag coating. A fine diamond pin is brought into contact with the Ag coating surface, and a load of 20 mN is applied. The contact pressure is calculated to be approximately 15 GPa. The moments of wear caused by the sliding motion are visualized, and the changes in the friction characteristics according to each step of wear generation are monitored. The Ag coating can be confirmed to exhibit a wear phenomenon by gradually peeling off the surface of the coating on observing the friction and wear characteristics of the coating in real time inside the SEM. This can be explained by a typical plowing-type wear mechanism.

A hybrid transparent electrode was fabricated with graphene and silver nanowires (Ag NWs). Three different processes were used to fabricate the hybrid electrode. Measurements of the sheet resistances, transmittances, and surface roughnesses of the hybrid electrodes were used to identify the optimal fabrication process. The surface roughness of the hybrid electrodes with Ag NWs embedded in a transparent polymer matrix was significantly lower than that of the other hybrid electrodes. A hybrid electrode fabricated by transferring graphene onto Ag NWs after spin-coating the Ag NWs onto the substrate showed the lowest sheet resistance. The transmittance of the hybrid electrodes was comparable to that of Ag NW electrodes.

Generally the structure of powder electroluminescent devices (PELDs) on ITO-film was makeup of the ZnS:Cu phosphor layer and BaTiO$_3$ insulating layer. The active layer, which consists of a suitably doped ZnS powder mixed in a dielectric, is sandwiched between two electrodes; one of which are ITO film and the other is aluminum. In this paper, three kinds of powder eleotroluminescent devices (PELDs) : WK-A(ITO/BaTiO$_3$/ZnS:Cu/Silver paste). WK-B(ITO/BaTiO$_3$+ZnS:Cu/Silver paste) and WK-C(ITO/BaTiO$_3$/ZnS:Cu/BaTiO$_3$/Silver paste), fabricated by spin coating method, were investigated. To evaluate the luminescence properties of three kinds of PELDs, EL emission spectroscopy, transferred charge density and time response of EL emission intensity under square wave voltage driving were measured.

Background: Biogenic fabrication of silver nanoparticles from naturally occurring biomaterials provides an alternative, eco-friendly and cost-effective means of obtaining nanoparticles. It is a favourite pursuit of all scientists and has gained popularity because it prevents the environment from pollution. Our main objective to take up this project is to fabricate silver nanoparticles from lichen, Usnea longissima and explore their properties. In the present study, we report a benign method of biosynthesis of silver nanoparticles from aqueous-ethanolic extract of Usnea longissima and their characterization by ultraviolet-visible (UV-vis), Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy, transmission electron microscopy (TEM) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) analyses. Silver nanoparticles thus obtained were tested for antimicrobial activity against gram positive bacteria and gram negative bacteria. Results: Formation of silver nanoparticles was confirmed by the appearance of an absorption band at 400 nm in the UV-vis spectrum of the colloidal solution containing both the nanoparticles and U. longissima extract. Poly(ethylene glycol) coated silver nanoparticles showed additional absorption peaks at 424 and 450 nm. FTIR spectrum showed the involvement of amines, usnic acids, phenols, aldehydes and ketones in the reduction of silver ions to silver nanoparticles. Morphological studies showed three types of nanoparticles with an abundance of spherical shaped silver nanoparticles of 9.40-11.23 nm. Their average hydrodynamic diameter is 437.1 nm. Results of in vitro antibacterial activity of silver nanoparticles against Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus mutans, Streptococcus pyrogenes, Streptococcus viridans, Corynebacterium xerosis, Corynebacterium diphtheriae (gram positive bacteria) and Escherichia coli, Klebsiella pneuomoniae and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (gram negative bacteria) showed that it was effective against tested bacterial strains. However, S. mutans, C. diphtheriae and P. aeruginosa were resistant to silver nanoparticles. Conclusion: Lichens are rarely exploited for the fabrication of silver nanoparticles. In the present work the lichen acts as reducing as well as capping agent. They can therefore, be used to synthesize metal nanoparticles and their size may be controlled by monitoring the concentration of extract and metal ions. Since they are antibacterial they may be used for the treatment of bacterial infections in man and animal. They can also be used in purification of water, in soaps and medicine. Their sustained release may be achieved by coating them with a suitable polymer. Silver nanoparticles fabricated from edible U. longissima are free from toxic chemicals and therefore they can be safely used in medicine and medical devices. These silver nanoparticles were stable for weeks therefore they can be stored for longer duration of time without decomposition.
