This research is the development of a flexible tactile sensor array for service robots using PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) film for the detection of a contact state in real time. The prototype of the tactile sensor which has 8${\times}$8 array using PVDF film was fabricated. In the fabrication procedure, the electrode patterns and the common electrode of the thin conductive tape were attached to both sides of the 281$\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness PVDF film using conductive adhesive. The sensor was covered with polyester film for insulation and attached to the rubber base for a stable structure. The proposed fabrication method is simple and easy to make the sensor. The sensor has the advantages in the implementing for practical applications because its structure is flexible and the shape of the each tactile element can be designed arbitrarily. The signals of a contact force to the tactile sensor were sensed and processed in the DSP system in which the signals are digitized and filtered. Finally, the signals were integrated for taking the force profile. The processed signals of the output of the sensor were visualized in a personal computer, and the shape and force distribution of the contact object were obtained. The reasonable performance for the detection of the contact state was verified through the sensing examples.

The novelty of this study resides in a 6"-wafer-level microfabrication protocol for a microdevice with a fluidic control system for the separation of circulating tumor cells (CTCs) from human whole blood cells. The microdevice utilizes a lateral magnetophoresis method based on immunomagnetic nanobeads with anti-epithelial cell adhesive molecule antibodies that selectively bind to epithelial cancer cells. The device consists of a top polydimethylsiloxane substrate for microfluidic control and a bottom substrate for lateral magnetophoretic force generation with embedded v-shaped soft magnetic microwires. The microdevice can isolate about 93% of the spiked cancer cells (MCF-7, a breast cancer cell line) at a flow rate of 40/100 mL/min with respect to a whole human blood/buffer solution. For all isolation, it takes only 10 min to process 400 mL of whole human blood. The fabrication method is sufficiently simple and easy, allowing the microdevice to be a mass-producible clinical tool for cancer diagnosis, prognosis, and personalized medicine.

Recently, the installation of photovoltaic modules in urban areas has been increasing. In particular, the demand for solar modules installed in a limited space is increasing. However, since the crystalline silicon solar module's size is proportional to the solar cell's size, it is difficult to manufacture a module that can be installed in a limited area. In this study, we fabricated a solar module with a shingled design that can control horizontal and vertical width using a bi-directional laser scribing method. We fabricated a string cell with a width of 1/5 compared to the existing shingled design string cells using a bi-directional laser scribing method, and we fabricated a solar module by connecting three strings in parallel. Finally, we achieved a conversion power of 5.521 W at a 103 mm × 320 mm area.

This paper presents a polarization switching antenna integrated with silicon RF MEMS SPDT switches in the form of a package. A low-loss quartz substrate made of SoQ (silicon-on-quartz) bonding is used as a dielectric material of the patch antenna, as well as a packaging lid substrate of RF MEMS switches. The packaging/antenna substrate is bonded with the bottom substrate including feeding lines and RF MEMS switches by BCB adhesive bonding, and RF energy is transmitted from signal lines to antenna by slot coupling. Through this approach, fabrication complexity and degradation of RF performances of the antenna due to the parasitic effects, which are all caused from the packaging methods, can be reduced. This structure is expected to be used as a platform for reconfigurable antennas with RF MEMS tunable components. A linear polarization switching antenna operating at 19 GHz is manufactured based on the proposed method, and the fabrication process is carefully described. The s-parameters of the fabricated antenna at each state are measured to evaluate the antenna performance.

유도 용접은 비접촉식으로 깨끗하고 빠른 공정으로 현재 주목받고 있다. 하지만 열가소성 수지는 전자기장에 영향을 받지 않기 때문에 유도 용접은 서셉터(Susceptor)라는 발열체가 필요하다. 고품질 접합을 목표로 연구가 진행되고 있지만, 결국 발열체라는 이물질이 들어가기 때문에 기준이 필요하다. 시편의 제작과 시험은 ASTM D5868에 근거하여 진행된다. 본 논문에서 평가 기준은 용접된 접합면의 상태와 기공률, 전단강도로 총 3가지를 근거로 판단할 것을 제안한다. 용접되는 접착면은 용융되고 냉각되면서 고형화가 되기 때문에 급격한 온도 변화는 기공을 발생시킬 수 있다. 또한 가열이 균일하지 않다면 원하는 성능을 기대하기 힘들다. PA6 (CF 30%) 엔지니어링 플라스틱을 이용하여 서셉터 제작과 유도 용접 그리고 성능 검증으로 진행하였다.

For the manufacture of the $CuGaS_2$, Cu, Ga and S were vapor-deposited in the named order. Among them, Cu and Ga were vapor-deposited by using the Evaporation method in consideration of their adhesive force to the substrate so that the composition of Cu and Ga might be 1 : 1, while the surface temperature having an effect on the quality of the thin film was changed from R.T.[$^{\circ}C$] to 150$[^{\circ}C]$ at intervals of 50$[^{\circ}C]$. As a result, at 400$[^{\circ}C]$ of the Annealing temperature, their chemical composition was measured in the proportion of 1 : 1 : 2. It could be known from this experimental result that it is the optimum condition to conduct Annealing on the $CuGaS_2$ thin film under a vacuum when the $CuGaS_2$ thin film as an optical absorption layer material for a solar cell is manufactured.

When ceramic membrance was made from metal salt solution in place of metal akoxide solution, crack free and good adhesion to supporter was optimized for sol stability and good adhesion force. A starting sol was prepared from aluminum oxychloride aqueous solutjion in order to inhibit the grain growthof Al2O3 during heat treatment. The crack free dip coating can't be achieved in 1mol/ι zirconium oxychloride solution because of the high viscosity which interferes with the hydration copolymerization between Al3+ ion and Zr4+ ion. Thus Al2O3-ZrO2 sol stability and viscosity for dip coating was effective when 0.01 mol/ι zirconium oxychloride was added. The minimizing of crack and achieving better adhesion to the supporter wa obtained by microwave drying, surfactant addition and ultrasonic dip coating in wet atmosphere. The result seems to minimize the capillary force and improve the adhesive ability to supporter during the process. Where the average pore size of Al2O3-ZrO2 ultrafilter ceramic membrane measured 17 Å by the BET method and observed γ-Al2O3 phase with tetragonal zirconia after firing at 700℃.

NiCrAly/YSZ(8wt% Y2O3-Zro2) functionally fraded thermal barrier coating (FGC) layers on a Co-base sureralloy (HAYNESS 188) substrate were fabricated using Ar shielded single torch air plasma spraying method. Functional grading were produced with the stepwise compositional change throughout layer thinkness. Microstructural observation revealed a sucessful fabrication of NiCrAly/YSZ FGC. From the results of the curvature measurement, adhesive stength measurement and thermal shock test for the FGC, it was concluded that the optimum enhance of functionally graded coating layer thinkcess and compositional pattern exit to enhance the properties of FGC, which is closely reated to the internal residual distribution with it.

In this research, single walled carbon nano-tube film was manufactured with spray coating method on glass for application as transparent heat element. SWNTs solution to be used for spraying is obtained by dispersion of 0.01 wt% purified SWNTs in dimethylformamide (DMF) solution through ultrasonification and centrifugation. The transmittance and sheet resistance of SWNTs film were determined by the number of spray injection. Manufactured SWNTs film will have sheet resistance range of $200\;\Omega/\square-900\;\Omega/\square$ at transmittance range of 70-90 %. Heat generation characteristic of SWNTs film was measured by applying constant DC voltage of 15V. The result confirmed that SWNTs film with sheet resistance of $200\;\Omega/\square$ reaches surface temperature of $80^{\circ}C$ within several seconds. In addition, PET coating film was coated on top of the SWNTs film by using laminator in order to solve weak adhesive property of the spray coated SWNTs film on the substrate as well as to maintain its electrical and optical properties.

본 논문에서는 모자(Hat)형 보강구조를 가진 복합재 패널을 일체성형(Co-curing), 동시접착(Co-bonding), 이차접착(Secondary bonding)의 세 가지 공법으로 제작하였다. 일체성형은 별도의 접착제 없이 프리프레그 상태의 외피와 보강재를 만들어 함께 성형하는 방법으로 다른 제작 공법에 비해 별도의 조립공정이 불필요한 경제적인 공법이다. 동시접착은 외피와 보강재 중 하나를 먼저 성형하고, 나머지는 프리프레그 상태로 먼저 성형된 구조물과 함께 성형하는 방법이며, 이차접착은 복합재 외피와 보강재를 각각 별도로 제작한 후 이를 접착제를 이용하여 별도로 접착하는 방법이다. 일체성형으로 보강 패널을 제작하는 공정에서는 경화 후 내부 금형의 제거를 용이하게 하기 위한 고무금형을 설계, 제작하였고, 경화 온도로 인해 고무금형에서 발생하는 팽창압력에 대한 유한요소해석을 수행하였다. 제작된 보강 패널은 3-D 측정 장비와 초음파 장비로 치수정밀도 및 내부 결함을 평가하였으며, 직접인장시험(Pull-off test)을 수행하여 기계적 특성을 평가하였다.
