We investigated a humidity sensor based on a polyimide-coated side-polished optical fiber. The polyimide film absorbed moisture, causing the resonant wavelength of the sensor to shift to a longer wavelength owing to the changes in the optical properties of the film. The experimental results showed that the resonant wavelength of the device shifted by 17-18 nm when relative humidity changed from 30% to 90%.

The friction and wear characteristics of brake friction materials reinforced with aramid fiber, carbon fiber, glass fiber, and potassium titanate whiskers were investigated using a pad-on-disk type friction tester. In particular, the morphology of rubbing surfaces was carefully investigated to correlate the friction performance and properties of transfer films. The aramid fiber reinforced specimen showed severe oscillation of friction coefficient at low speed and low applied pressure. The carbon fiber reinforced specimen showing better friction stability exhibited uniform and stable transfer film than any other specimens. The glass fiber reinforced specimen showed unstable friction changes at high speed and high-applied pressure and the non-uniform transfer film was observed in both friction material and rotor surface. The potassium titanate whiskers reinforced specimen showed stable coherent transfer film. The wear test exhibited the potassium titanate whiskers reinforced specimen was lowest in wear amount and glass fiber reinforced specimen showed the severe wear.

We have proposed and demonstrated a fiber optic RH (relative humidity) sensor based on fiber Bragg grating covered with a polyimide film. As the polyimide film absolves the moisture in the air, its volume expands. As a result, the grating period of the FBG (fiber Bragg grating) covered with a polyimide film becomes wide and the Bragg wavelength is shifted. The sensor is implemented by fixing a 30 ㎛ thickness polyimide film on the surface of an optical fiber grating using an adhesive, and the characteristics of the device according to humidity are analyzed. The fabricated FBG RH sensor showed a high sensitivity of 0.0186 nm/RH% and a wide measurement range from 30% to 90%. The influence of environmental temperature on the characteristics of the RH sensor was also measured and analyzed. The feasibility of commercialization is presented.

This study investigated electromagnetic interference(EMI) shielding effectiveness(SE) of the aluminum film, conductive fabric and nano carbon black carbon fiber reinforced composites. We fabricated carbon fiber reinforced composites filled with nano carbon black where they bonded aluminum film and conductive fabric. The measurements of SE were carried out frequency range from 300MHz to 1.5GHz. It is observed that the SE of the bonded aluminum film and conductive fabric composites is the frequency dependent, increase with the increase in filler nano carbon black content. The aluminum film bonded composites showed higher SE compared to that of carbon black and conductive fabric. The aluminum film bonded epoxy composite was shown to exhibit up to 80dB of SE. The result that aluminum film bonded composite can be used for the purpose of EMI shielding as well as for some microwave applications.

A Rhodamine-based fiber-optic sensor has been developed to detect mercury ions in aqueous environments. The fiber-optic sensor was composed of a mercury-sensing thin film, plastic optical fibers, and a spectrometer. The mercury-sensing thin film with the synthesized Rhodamine derivatives was fabricated with Sol-Gel process. A light emitted by a light source is guided by plastic optical fibers into the thin film in an aqueous solution and a reflected light is analyzed with the spectrometer. The experiment exhibits that an absorbance in the thin film is increased as mercury concentration is increased in the solution and the absorbance by mercury is higher than that by other heavy metals. The fiber-optic sensor exhibits high chromogenic phenomenon of mercury ions among various heavy metals and the correlation between absorbance and mercury concentration in the aqueous environments.

The optical characteristics of cresol red, phenol red, and neutral red immobilized in the thin film were investigated with absorbance measurement in order to find a sensing part of a fiber-optic pH sensor. Sol-Gel method with tetramethyl orthosilicate as a precursor was used to immobilize the pH indicators in the thin film. The absorbance spectra were measured when pH indicators were immobilized in the film and were dissolved in the buffer solution. Experimental results showed that the absorbance spectra could be changed when the pH indicator is immobilized in the thin film. As compared with other pH indicators, the neutral red exhibited similar absorbance spectra regardless of physical conditions and was sensitive over whole pH range between 4 and 11. In addition, the absorbance ratio of base peak to acid peak tended to increase in proportion to the increase in pH. Experimental results indicate that the neutral red is a good pH indicator for fabrication of a sensing part of the fiber-optic pH sensor.

차세대 디스플레이 소자로서 TAOS TFT (transparent amorphous oxide semiconductor Thin Film Transistor)가 주목 받고 있다. 또한, 최근에는 값 비싼 전자 제품을 저렴하고 간단히 처분 할 수 있는 시스템으로 대신 하는 연구가 진행되고 있다. 그중, cellulose-fiber에 전기적 시스템을 포함시키는 e-paper에 대한 관심이 활발하다. cellulose fiber는 가볍고 깨지지 않으며 휘는 성질을 가지고 있다. 가격도 저렴하고 가공이여 용이하여 차세대 기판의 재료로서 주목받고 있다. 하지만, cellulose-fiber 위에는 고온의 열처리공정과 고품질 박막 성장이 어려워서 TFT 제작에 어려움을 겪고 있다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해서 산화물 반도체를 이용하여 TFT를 제작한 사례가 보고되고 있다. 또한, 채널 물질 뿐만 아니라 cellulose fiber에도 다른 물질을 첨가하거나 증착하여 전기적 화학적 특성을 개선시킨 사례도 많이 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 가장 저품질의 용지로 알려진 신문지와 A4용지를 gate dielectric을 이용하여서 a-IGZO TFT를 제작하였다. 하지만, cellulose fiber로 만들어진 TFT의 경우에는 고온의 열처리가 불가능 하다. 따라서 저온에서 높을 효율은 보이는 microwave energy를 이용하여 열처리를 진행하였다. 추가적으로 저품질의 종이의 특성을 개선시키기 위해서 high-k metal-oxide solution precursor를 첨가 하여 TFT의 특성을 개선시켰다. 결과적으로 cellulose fiber에 metal-oxide solution precursor을 첨가하는 공정과 micro wave를 조사하는 방법을 사용하여 100도 이하에서 cellulose fiber를 저렴하고 우수한 성능의 TFT를 제작에 성공하였다.
