  • In this study, we proposed an effective and simple way to directly generate wrinkle patterns on a curved surface. A curved surface was prepared using a 3D printer and an UV (Ultraviolet)-lighting system was utilized to weakly polymerize the UV-curable thin resin layer coated on the surface, resulting in a gradient of material properties in the layer thickness. Subsequently, a thermal curing process was conducted to generate microscale wrinkles by compressive forces that were generated during complete curing. Wrinkle shapes from 5, 15, 25 sec of UV-light exposure were compared. With increasing UV-exposure, the line-width of wrinkles became thicker due to much higher strength of skin zone. The results indicated that the proposed fabrication process could be utilized for surface modification in diverse research fields.

  • The recent spotlight on electronic touch-screen display, a rapid breakthrough in the information society is evolving. Touch panel input device such as a keyboard or mouse without the use of, the on-screen character or a specific location or object on the person's hand touches a particular feature to identify the location of a panel is to be handled. The touch screen on the touch panel is used in the Ag paste is used mostly for low-curable paste. The thermal-curing paste according to the drying process of thermal energy consumption and improve the working environment of organic solvents have problems. In this study, Ag paste used in the non-thermal curing friendly and cost-effective UV curable paste was prepared. Current commercially available thermal-curable binder, was used instead of the flow characteristics of UV-curable oligomers and monomers with functional groups to give a single conductive Ag paste with the addition of a pattern could be formed. Ag paste as a result, thermal-curing adhesive, hardness, resistance and excellent reproduction of fine patterns and was available with screen printing environmentally friendly could see its potential as a patterning technology.

  • As one of the eletronic device industries has been developed by using a recent printing method, the consumption of Ag paste has been on the rise as well. The printing method has simple processes in comparison with other methods. Also it enables to be large-scaled and to lower price ranges. If UV curing system would be applied to the printing method, energy consumption and dangerousness from curing system can be minimized in a short period of time so that its method can be more eco-friendly. This study conducted an experiment in order to make UV curing Ag paste which is feasible to implement micro patterns with different dispersing agents. The purpose of the study is to analysis the suitable printability for micro pattern and to test dispersibility, hardening properties, conductivity and adhesive stength by measuring viscosity, TI(thixotropy index), G', G", $tan{\delta}$(G"/G') after making paste. We have experimented with four dispersing agents. After We did an analysis of characteristic of rheology, conductivity and adhesive stength, etc, We confirmed that the paste added FP 3060 has excellent dispersibility, conductivity and adhesive stength. If the paste has excellent dispersibility, we will expect that micro pattern is made by that.

  • Flame-retardant cotton fabrics were prepared by UV curing of photocurable aqueous formulations of phosphorous-containing methacrylate monomers and 2-hydroxy-2-methyl-1-phenyl-1-propanone as flame retardants and a photoinitiator respectively, which is an environmentally friendly and energy-saving process. The characterization of the UV-coated cotton fabric was made by ATR, TGA and limited oxygen index measurement. UV cured coating onto cotton fabrics reduced the first thermal decomposition temperature and mass loss as well as increase in the amount of char residue compared with the untreated cotton fabric presumably due to modified thermal decomposition process. The LOI values up to 28.5 and 27.2 were obtained by the UV curing of MMEP and TMEP respectively. The treatment was durable to five laundering cycles, which was more prominent in the case of trifunctional TMEP treatment.

  • Many methods for cross-linking acrylic PSAs have been discussed previously. For high cross-linking density, epoxy functionalized monomer and methyl aziridines as cross-linking agents were used in this study. Additionally, photopolymerization using different UV doses was investigated to synthesize a binder because of its rapid productivity. FT-IR analysis, curing behaviours and adhesion performance were examined for the relationship between UV doses and temperature as curing conditions. According to the results, the gel fraction was over 50% even at $120^{\circ}C$ after UV curing at a dose of $800mJ/cm^2$. On the other hand, while gel fractions of all samples reached approximately 80% only at $180^{\circ}C$ in thermal curing for 1 hour, gel fractions of the samples after thermal curing for 3 hours increased rapidly above $120^{\circ}C$ regardless of UV doses and reached approximately 100% at $180^{\circ}C$. This means that the second cross-linking reaction, esterification, is mainly dependent on the curing temperature.
