Polyimides (PI) are widely used in applications ranging from microelectronics to aerospace. Due to their insulating nature, significant accumulation of electrostatic charge may result on their surface, causing local heating and premature degradation to electronic components or space structures. Over the past decade, several publications have been made in fabrication and charaterization of CNT nanocomposites [1,2]. (omitted)

In this paper, the effective permittivity in the piezoelectric material is numerically obtained and greens function is derived from that. It is shown that the admittance and the transfer function of an interdigital transducer is represented by electrostatic charge distribution using Quasi-static approximation. To prove the validity of the quasi-static approximation, numerical results for the uniform IDT of a filter mounted on 128 $^{\circ}$ rotated Y-cut X-propagating Lithium Niobate are compared with the measured ones.

A numerical technique for simulating the aggregation of charged particles was presented with a Brownian dynamic simulation in the free molecular regime. The Langevin equation was used for tracking each particle making up an aggregate. A periodic boundary condition was used for calculation of the aggregation process in each cell with 500 primary particles of 16 nm in diameter. We considered the thermal force and the electrostatic force for the calculation of the particle motion. The morphological shape of aggregates was described in terms of the fractal dimension. The fractal dimension for the uncharged aggregate was $D_{f}=1.761$. The fractal dimension changed slightly for the various amounts of bipolar charge. However, in case of unipolar charge, the fractal dimension decreased from 1.641 to 1.537 with the increase of the average number of charges on the particles from 0.2 to 0.3 in initial states.

A modified polyol process is developed to enhance Pt loading during the preparation of Pt/C catalysts. With the help of the zeta potential, the effect of pH on the electrostatic forces between the support and the Pt colloid is investigated. It is shown experimentally that the surface charge on the carbon support becomes more electropositive when the solution pH is changed from alkaline to acidic. However, this change does not affect the electronegative surface charge of Pt colloids already attained and stabilized by glycolate anions. This new behavior caused by the change in the solution pH accounts for the enhanced yield of the process and does not affect the Pt particle size. All our experimental results reveal that this simple modification is a cost effective method for the synthesis of highly Pt loaded Pt/C catalysts for fuel cells.

Thermodynamic stability and refolding kinetics of firefly luciferase and three representative mutants with depletion of negative charge on a flexible loop via substitution of Glu by Arg (ER mutant) or Lys (EK mutant) as well as insertion of another Arg in ER mutants (ERR mutant) was investigated. According to thermodynamic studies, structural stability of ERR and ER mutants are enhanced compared to WT protein, whereas, these mutants become prone to aggregation at higher temperatures. Accordingly, it was concluded that enhanced structural stability of mutants depends on more compactness of folded state, whereas aggregation at higher temperatures in mutants is due to weakening of intermolecular repulsive electrostatic interactions and increase of intermolecular hydrophobic interactions. Kinetic results indicate that early events of protein folding are accelerated in mutants.

In order to measure the change of constructional and some properties of knitted under wears by laundry, constructional properties, such as fabric count , yarn count, loop length and cover, factor, and some properties , such as shrinkage, tearing, strength, air permeability, electrostatic charge of under wears sold in the market were tested. The results of the experiment can be summarized as follows.1. Interlock and rib were increased in wale direction after laundry and decreased in course direction , plain was decreased, in both direction after laundry. 2. Loop form of plain was changed more than those interlock and rib after laundry. 3. Tearing strength was decreased 51% in wale direction, and 70% in course direction after 20 times laundry. Air permeability was generally increased. 4. Electro static charge was increased 9 times after laundry.

Oppositely charged polyelectrolytes are generally known to form sbalbe interpolymer complexs. Such polyelectrolyte complexes are high practical relevance in industrial applications as flocculants, coatings, and binders, as well as in biological systems and in biomedical applications. Most insoluble polyelectrolyte complexes seem to exhibit 1:1 charge stoichiometry, independent of the charge density on the macromolecules and the structure of their backbones, provided that all charged groups are accessible for electrostatic interactions.

시분할 다중화 방식을 이용한 정전 구동형 XY 스테이지의 새로운 위치 검출 방법을 제안한다. 각축의 고정자에 90도의 위상차를 가지는 여기(excitation) 신호를 주입하여 스테이지와 연결된 1개의 charge amplifier와 S/H를 이용하여 x축과 y축 방향의 위치를 검출한다. charge amplifier의 파라미터는 DC 이득이 크고 또한 신호간 간섭이 발생하지 않도록 설정한다. 제안된 방법은 XY 스테이지의 디지털 서보 제어기의 구성요소인 S/H를 사용하기 때문에 기존의 방식과는 달리 위치 신호의 검출이 안정적이고 반송 신호에 의한 고조파 왜곡과 복조 과정에서 발생되는 지연을 현저히 줄일 수 있으며 간단하게 구현할 수 있다.

This paper presents a study on the development of discharge model and computer program for assessing the risk of electrostatic discharge(ESD) of charged human body This ESD event is modelled as a two-body problem using spherical conductors, simulating the approach of a charged conductor (human body) to a second conductor (electronic equipment). The charge/discharge process for the model is formulated as a matrix of equations by Maxwell's method. Body potentials, energies and the charge transfer during a discharge are calculated. The developed program, based on the suggested scheme in this paper, is applied to a sample system. The results provide a better understanding of ESD event and demonstrate the usefulness of two-body model in practical applications.

We established a thermodynamic framework of group contribution method based on modified double lattice (MDL) model. The proposed model included the long-range interaction contribution caused by the Coulomb electrostatic forces, the middle-range interaction contribution from the indirect effects of the charge interactions and the short-range interaction from modified double lattice model. The group contribution method explained the combinatorial energy contribution responsible for the revised Flory-Huggins entropy of mixing, the van der Waals energy contribution from dispersion, the polar force, and the specific energy contribution from hydrogen bonding. We showed the solvent activities of various polymer solution systems in comparison with theoretical predictions based on experimental data. The proposed model gave a very good agreement with the experimental data.
