Hybrid-type transparent electrodes were fabricated by depositing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via spray coating on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates and then coating the CNTs with [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)] (PEDOT) films via electro-polymerization. For all of the fabricated electrodes, their surface morphologies, electric sheet resistances, visible transmittances, and color properties (e.g., yellowness) were characterized as functions of the applied voltages and process times used in electro-polymerization. The sheet resistance of the CNTs was significantly reduced by the coating of PEDOT, while their visible transmittances slightly decreased. The yellowness values of the PEDOT-coated CNTs were observed to have substantially decreased via electro-polymerization. The experimental results confirmed that the fabricated hybrid electrodes had desirable properties for the application of transparent electrode in terms of the electrical resistance, optical transmittance, and chromaticity.

The application of poly(Co(II)-(1,8-diaminonaphthalene))(poly(Co-DAN)) and poly(1,8-diaminonaphthalene) (Poly(1,8-DAN)) to the electrocatalytic reduction of molecular oxygen was investigated, which were electrochemically grown by the potential cycling method on the glassy carbon electrodes. The reduction of oxygen at the polymer and its metal complex polymer coated electrodes were irreversible and diffusion controlled. The Poly(1,8-DAN) and Poly(Co-DAN) films revealed the potential shifts for the oxygen reduction to 30 mV and 110 mV, respectively, in an aqueous solution, compared with that of the bare electrode. Hydrodynamic voltammetry with a rotating ring-disk electrode showed that Poly(1,8-DAN) and Poly(Co-DAN) coated electrodes converted respectively 84% and 22% of $O_2$ to $H_2O$ via a four electron reduction pathway.

The 'field-effect' underlies the operation of most conventional electronic devices. However, effective control and implementation of the field-effect in semiconductor devices are limited due to screening of the electric-field by conducting electrodes. Thus far, the electronic devices have necessarily been designed to avoid or minimize the electric-field screening effect. As an alternative approach to this, a new type of conducting electrodes which would be transparent to both visible light and electric-field while being electrically conductive have been developed. Here, we define these electrodes as 'electric-field transparent electrodes' and provide a review on related work. Particular attention is paid to the material selection and design strategies to enhance the electric-field transparency of the electrodes while maintaining good electrical conductivity and optical transparency. We then introduce potential applications of the electric-field transparent electrodes in electronic and optoelectronic devices.

This contribution presents an extended one-dimensional theory for piezoelectric beam-type structures with non-ideal electrodes. For these types of electrodes the equipotential area condition is not satisfied. The main motivation of our research is originated from passive vibration control: when an elastic structure is covered by several piezoelectric patches that are linked via resistances and inductances, vibrational energy is efficiently dissipated if the electric network is properly designed. Assuming infinitely small piezoelectric patches that are connected by an infinite number of electrical, in particular resistive and inductive elements, one obtains the Telegrapher's equation for the voltage across the piezoelectric transducer. Embedding this outcome into the framework of Bernoulli-Euler, the final equations are coupled to the wave equations for the longitudinal motion of a bar and to the partial differential equations for the lateral motion of the beam. We present results for the wave propagation of a longitudinal bar for several types of electrode properties. The frequency spectra are computed (phase angle, wave number, wave speed), which point out the effect of resistive and inductive electrodes on wave characteristics. Our results show that electrical damping due to the resistivity of the electrodes is different from internal (=strain velocity dependent) or external (=velocity dependent) mechanical damping. Finally, results are presented, when the structure is excited by a harmonic single force, yielding that resistive-inductive electrodes are suitable candidates for passive vibration control that might be of great interest for practical applications in the future.

The one of the most important issue in roll-to-roll gravure printing is increase of ink transfer ratio or printability. As the result of high ink transfer ratio or printability, we can assess the quality of the printed patterns. The rheological properties are the important factors for the printability of electrodes patterning. In this study, the rheological properties of conductive ink are controlled by adding the solvent. The inks with different rheological properties are used for the patterning of the electrodes of $100{\mu}m$ by gravure printing equipment. The various printing speed, which also affect the rheological properties of conductive ink, is applied and the printed patterns are compared for their width and aspect ratio. Decreasing in the ink viscosity as well as increasing in the printing speed decreases the printability in gravure patterning, which shows that the rheological properties are important factors for the printability of gravure patterning.

A Holter monitor is used for ECG monitoring of ambulatory daily life in hospital. However, the use of this apparatus causes skin allergies and discomfort in patients because of the attachment gel and tapes used to attach disposable electrodes to the skin. In this study, the development of tight-fitting clothing connected to a portable Holter monitor was proposed. In addition, the use of conductive fabrics as electrodes was proposed; this will enable the use of garments in u-health care for measuring ECG signals. The male subjects were university students in the ages of 20 to 24. Subjective wear sensations of the experimental garments were rated using seven Likert scales. A Likert type scale was used for the evaluation and a 7 point score indicates that it provided the best fit as a tight-fitting upper clothing. Clothing pressure was measured using an air-pack-type pressure sensor (model AMI 3037-2) at 4 locations (the conductive fabric electrode) As results, a male basic sloper for upper clothing was developed and that pattern was manipulated to the tight fit pattern by considering the reduction rate of the percentage stretch in the fabric. The developed tight-fitting garment was superior in terms of subjective sensation and 6t. The mean pressure of the garment with reduction rates of 40% in width and of 50% in length was 8.45gf/$cm^2$. A conductive fabric electrode was developed by considering the sewing method and the developed electrode was detected well. The ECG data were recorded for 13 hr 19 min 44 sec and the artifacts in the ECG signals were recorded for 9 hr 3 min 46 sec (total time: 22 hr 23 min 23 sec). The artifacts data were obtained during heavy activities.

Many kinds of electrodes have been developed in various forms and shapes for measurement of bio potential signal. Textile electrode has benefit of collect long tenn data monitoring because of it is non-consciousness, convenient and do not occur skin irritation. However, It is very difficult to acquire available data due to high impedance of electrode and unstable skin-electrode contact which generate motion artifact. Also snap button which usually used as mediator between textile and measurement device cause change of electrical characteristics. In this paper, we inflated textile electrode to stabilize contact and add conductive silver paste between textile and snap button to improve conductance. To compare the performance of two methods, flat or inflated and add conductive paste or not, four types of electrodes are tested on each impedance and SNR by ECG measurement. In result, the first type electrode which flat and non-conductive paste showed the worst performance and the last type electrode which is inflated shape and contain conductive paste show the best performance.

인구의 고령화 사회에 접어든 최근에는 스마트 의류와 접목된 다양한 형태의 착용형 유헬스 디바이스가 개발되어 일상생활과 가정에서의 생활에 양손을 자유로이 하여 불편함 없이 건강변수 측정이 가능하게 되었다. 하지만 착용형 유헬스 디바이스의 보급과 더불어 이를 응용한 디바이스에 대한 연구 및 개발만이 우선되고 있는 현재, 이에 대한 성능 평가의 중요성에 대한 인식은 미흡한 실정이다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 착용형 유헬스 디바이스와 스마트 의류에 접목하여 전극으로 사용될 수 있는 전도성 섬유를 이용한 전극을 구성하여 심전도(ECG) 신호 측정을 위해 일반적으로 사용되는 패치타입의 Ag-AgCl 전극과 임피던스(Impedance), 심전도(ECG) 신호의 상관관계 비교와 CMRR 측정을 통하여 착용형 유헬스 디바이스에의 사용 가능성을 밝히기 위해 시험을 통한 성능차이를 평가 하였다.

유기 박막 트랜지스터 (OTFTs)의 소스-드레인 전극을 스크린 인쇄를 통해 제작하였고, 전극용 페이스트로써 전도성 카본블랙 페이스트를 사용하였다. 전도성 카본블랙 페이스트를 제조하기 위해 서로 다른 분자량 및 고분자 사슬 구조를 갖는 2종류의 분산제(DB-2150, DB-9077)를 사용하여 분산제 함량(SOF; solid on powder, 10-40%)에 따른 카본블랙 밀베이스의 분산 특성을 검토한 결과, 분산제 함량이 증가함에 따라 분산 특성이 더 우수해 짐을 알 수 있었다. 전도성 카본블랙 페이스트를 제조하여 레올로지 측정을 통해 카본블랙의 분산상태 및 응집구조에 대해 검토한 결과, 분산제로 DB-2150을 사용한 페이스트들은 분산제 함량이 증가함에 따라 페이스트의 분산 특성이 향상되어 저장 탄성률(G')이 감소하였지만, DB-9077을 사용한 페이스트들은 카본블랙 사이의 상호작용에 의해 망목구조가 존재하였고, 분산제 함량이 증가함에 따라 카본블랙과 분산제간 또는 분산제간의 상호작용에 의해 페이스트의 저장 탄성률(G')은 더욱 증가하였다. 이러한 응집구조는 페이스트의 내부 저항력 (tacky)을 발생시켜 DB-9077을 사용한 페이스트들은 분산제 함량이 증가함에 따라 스크린 인쇄 적성이 좋지 못하였다. 하지만, 스크린 인쇄된 OTFTs용 소스-드레인 전극의 전기적 특성은 카본블랙 사이에 형성된 망목구조에 의해 카본블랙의 도전 경로(conduction Path)가 형성됨에 따라 DB-2150을 사용한 페이스트들의 OTFTs에 비해 더 우수하였다. 그러나, 2종류의 분산제를 사용한 페이스트 모두, 분산제의 함량이 증가함에 따라 카본블랙 표면을 감싸는 분산제 함량 또한 증가하게 되어 이로 인해 카본블랙간의 도전 경로 형성은 어렵게 되고 전극의 특성은 점점 열화되었다.

In general, the causes of the electrical fire are overcurrent, short circuit, poor contact, etc. This study is aimed to recognize the risk of electric arc to prevent electrical fires due to the conductive dust accumulated on the circuit breaker. The experiment was carried out by the method that conductive metal dust collected from the field is being accumulated on the experimental electrodes with gap of 13 mm until the arc is generated. In case that arc was generated, the amount of conductive dust was measured and the thickness was calculated. This experiments was conducted by particle size. In order to distinguish particle size, mesh size(60~100, 100~150, 150~200, 200~250mesh) was classified using a sieve. As the results of experiment for each of the particle sizes, it was confirmed that there is differences in the generation of arc depending on the thickness of dust accumulated.
