유기물/무기물 나노 복합재료는 고온과 저전력에서 동작해야하는 차세대 전자 소자와 광소자 제작에 대단히 유용한 소재이다. 간단하고 저렴한 제조 방법과 휘어짐이 가능한 특성을 이용하여 유기물/무기물 나노 복합재료를 사용한 비휘발성 메모리 소자의 제작과 메모리 특성에 대한 연구가 수행되었으나, SnO2 나노 입자가 삽입된 고분자 박막을 기반으로 제작한 저항 구조의 비휘발성 메모리 소자인 유기 쌍안정성 소자에 대한 연구는 상대적으로 미흡하다. 본 연구에서는 poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) 박막 안에 분산된 SnO2 나노 입자를 사용하여 제작한 유기 쌍안정성 소자의 메모리 특성을 관찰하였다. 소자를 제작하기 위해 나노 입자의 전구체인 Tin 2-ethylhexanoate을 dibutyl ether에 용해시킨 후, 화학적 방법을 사용하여 용매 안에서 SnO2 나노 입자를 합성하였다. 합성한 SnO2 나노 입자와 PMMA를 클로로벤젠에 용해하여 고분자 용액을 제작하였다. 전극인 indium-tin-oxide가 증착된 유리 기판 위에 제작한 고분자 용액을 스핀 코팅하고, 열을 가해 용매를 제거하여 SnO2 나노 입자가 분산되어 있는 PMMA 나노복합체를 형성하였다. 그 위에 Al 전극을 증착하여 유기 쌍안정성 소자를 완성하였다. 제작된 소자에 전압을 인가하여 전류를 측정한 결과 유기 쌍안정성 소자에서는 동일 전압에서 높은 전류 (ON 상태)와 낮은 전류 (OFF 상태)가 흐르는 쌍안정성 특성을 나타냈다. 그러나 SnO2 나노 입자가 없는 PMMA 박막으로 형성된 소자에서는 전류-전압 측정에서 쌍안정성 특성이 나타나지 않았다. 따라서 PMMA 박막 안에 삽입된 SnO2 나노 입자가 유기 쌍안정성 소자의 메모리 효과를 나타내는 원인임을 알 수 있었다. 전류-시간 측정 결과는 소자의 ON 상태 및 OFF 상태 전류가 시간에 따른 큰 변화 없이 1000 사이클 이상 지속적으로 유지 하고 있음을 보여 줌으로써 유기 쌍안정성 소자를 장시간 사용할 수 있음을 확인시켜 주었다.

New insulin-releasing system on the basis of the redox reaction of glucose was synthesized by immobilizing insulin through a disulfide bond(5, 5'-dithiobis(2-nitrobenzoic acid) to polymer membrane(poly(methyl methacrylate)) and enzyme(glucose oxidase). The disulfide bonds were cleaved upon oxidation of glucose with glucose dehydrogenase and glucose oxidase, releasing insulin from the membrane and enzyme. Sensitivity to glucose concentration was enhanced by coimmobilization of enzyme cofactors(nicotinamide adenin dinucleotide and flavin adenin dinucleotide) acting as electron mediator(for the membrane device), and further enhanced by direct immobilization of insulin on glucose oxidase(for the protein device). Both systems were specific to glucose, and the released insulin was indistinguishable from native insulin. The biological activity of released insulin was 81% of native insulin.

Background The forehead, which occupies about one third of the face, is one of the major determinants of a feminine or masculine look. Various methods have been used for the augmentation of the forehead using autologous fat grafts or alloplastic materials. Methylmethacrylate (MMA) is the most appropriate material for augmentation of the forehead, and we have used an injection-molding technique with MMA to achieve satisfactory results. Methods Under local anesthesia with intravenous (IV) sedation, an incision was made on the scalp and a meticulous and delicate subperiosteal dissection was then performed. MMA monomers and polymers were mixed, the dough was injected into the space created, and manual molding was performed along with direct inspection. This surgery was indicated for patients who wanted to correct an unattractive appearance by forehead augmentation. Every patient in this study visited our clinics 3 months after surgery to evaluate the results. We judged the postoperative results in terms of re-operation rates caused by the dissatisfaction of the patients and complications. Results During a 13-year period, 516 patients underwent forehead augmentation with MMA. With the injection-molding technique, the inner surface of the MMA implant is positioned close to the underlying frontal bone, which minimizes the gap between the implant and bone. The borders of the implant should be tapered sufficiently until no longer palpable or visible. Only 28 patients (5.4%) underwent a re-operation due to an undesirable postoperative appearance. Conclusions The injection-molding technique using MMA is a simple, safe, and ideal method for the augmentation of the forehead.

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the radiolucency for the phantom output to the 3D printing technology. The 3D printing technology was applied for FDM (fused deposition modeling) method and was used the material of ABS (acrylonitrile butadiene styrene) resin. The phantom was designed in cylindrical uniformity. An image uniformity was measured by a cross-sectional images of the 3D printed phantom obtained from the CT equipment. The evaluation of radiolucency was measured exposure dose by the inserted ion-chamber from the 3D printed phantom. As a results, the average of uniformity in the cross-sectional CT image was 2.70 HU and the correlation of radiolucency between PMMA CT phantom and 3D printed ABS phantom is found to have a high correlation to 0.976. In the future, this results will be expected to be used as the basis for the phantom production of the radiation quality control by used 3D printing technology.

그래핀(Graphene)은 모든 탄소 동소체의 기본구성 요소로 2 차원 결정구조를 가지며, 양자홀 효과(quantum Hall effect), 뛰어난 열 전도도, 고 탄성, 광학적 투과성 등과 같은 탁월한 물리적 성질을 보이는 물질이다. 이러한 그래핀의 우수한 특성은 전계 효과 트랜지스터(field effect transistor), 화학/바이오 센서, 투명 전극(transparent electrode) 등의 다양한 전자소자를 개발하는 응용 가능하다. 그 중, 그래핀 투명전극의 제조는 가장 응용가능성이 높은 분야이다. 현재 투명전극 물질로는 인듐-주석 산화물(indium tin oxide; ITO)가 널리 이용되고 있으나, 인듐의 고갈로 인한 공급부족 문제 및 고 생산비용, 휘어지지 않는 취성 등의 단점을 지니고 있다. 따라서, 우수한 광학적 투과성과 전기전도성을 지닌 그래핀이 ITO의 대체 물질로서 각광받고 있다.[1-5] 본 연구에서는 그래핀의 투명전도필름의 응용을 위해 면저항을 낮추기 위한 방법으로 화학적 도핑(doping)을 이용하였다. 그래핀은 구리(copper; Cu) 호일을 촉매로 사용하여 열 화학증착법(Thermal Chemical Vapor Deposition)을 이용하여 합성하였다. 합성된 그래핀은 PMMA(Poly(methyl methacrylate)) 전사법을 이용하여 산화실리콘(SiO2) 기판에 전사 후, 염화은(AgCl)과 클로로벤젠(C6H5Cl)으로 만든 콜로이드(colloid) 용액에 디핑(dipping)하여 그래핀에 은 입자를 도핑 하였다. 그 결과, 은 입자 도핑 농도에 따라 면저항이 감소하는 양상을 보였다. 제작된 그래핀 투명전도성 필름의 투과도는 자외선-가시광선-근적외선 분광법(UV-Vis-NIR spectroscopy)를 이용하여 측정하였고, 라만 분광법(Raman spectroscopy)을 통해 그래핀 필름의 질적 우수성과 성장 균일도를 조사하였다.

We have demonstrated the resonant resistance pattern changes of the polymer film in the quartz crystal analysis by the function of the molecular polarity phase transition phenomena. PVA and PMMA/PVAc blend films were used as hydrophilic and/or hydrophbic film, respectively. In the comparison between the hydrophilic shows the pattern changes near by the phase transition temperature. For more detailed explanation, the static capacity in the oscillation parameter was measured and the morphology of Au quartz crystal electrode was studied by AFM. It is suggested that the different resonant resistance pattern change is reliable in the condition of different polarity, and the conclusion is important to analysis of the real mechanism a normal quartz crystal experiments.

In order to improve the surface hardness of transparent plastic films, an organic-inorganic hybrid coating solution was sunthesized by the sol-gel method. Coating solutions that were prepared colloidal silica (CS), poly methyl methacrylate (PMMA), vinyltrimethoxysilane (VTMS), and [3-(methacryloyloxy)]propyltrimethoxy silane (MAPTMS) was varied with synthesizing parameters such as kinds of organic silane and weight ratio of CS to PMMA. Such coating solution was bar coated on the PET film, cured, and investigated on the chemical and physical properties of coating film. The organic-inorganic hybrid coating solutions have better properties at the pencil hardness and adhesion of coating film than those of an organic material such as PMMA.

Improving the microstructure of NiO/YSZ is one of several approaches used to enhance the electrical and mechanical properties of an anode support in Solid Oxide Fuel Cells (SOFCs). The aim of the work reported in this paper was to predict the relationship between these microstructural changes and the resulting properties. To this end, modification of the anode microstructure was carried out using different sizes of Poly (Methyl Methacrylate) (PMMA) beads as a pore former. The electrical conductivity and mechanical strength of these samples were measured using four-probe DC, and three-point bend-test methods, respectively. Thermal etching followed by high resolution SEM imaging was performed for sintered samples to distinguish between the three phases (NiO, YSZ, and pores). Recently developed image analysis techniques were modified and used to calculate the porosity and the contiguity of different phases of the anode support. Image analysis results were verified by comparison with the porosity values determined from mercury porosimetry measurements. Contiguity of the three phases was then compared with data from electrical and mechanical measurements. A linear relationship was obtained between the contiguity data determined from image analysis, and the electrical and mechanical properties found experimentally. Based upon these relationships we can predict the electrical and mechanical properties of SOFC support from the SEM images.

The hydrogen-bonding induced alternating multilayer thin films of dendrimers and block copolymer micelles were demonstrated. The block copolymer micelles derived from amphiphilic poly(2-ethyl-2-oxazoline)block-$poly({\varepsilon}-carprolactone)$ (PEtOz-PCL) in aqueous phase have a core-shell structure with a mean hydrodynamic diameter of 26 nm. The hydrogen bonding between the PEtOz outer shell of micelle and the carboxyl unit of poly(amidoamine) dendrimer of generation 4.5 (PAMAM-4.5G) at pH 3 was utilized as a driving force for the layerby-layer alternating deposition. The multilayer thin film was fabricated on the poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) thin film spin-coated on silicon wafer or glass substrate by the alternate dipping of PEtOz-PCL micelles and PAMAM dendrimers in aqueous solution at pH 3. The formation of multilayer thin film was characterized by using ellipsometry, UV-vis spectroscopy, and atomic force microscopy. The PEtOz outer shell of PEtOz-PCL micelle provided the pH-responsive hydrogen bonding sites with peripheral carboxylic acids of PAM AM dendrimer. The multilayer thin film was reversibly removed after dipping in aqueous solution at $pH{\geq}5.6$ due to dissociation of the hydrogen bonding between PEtOz shell of PEtOz-PCL micelle and peripheral carboxyl units of PAMAM dendrimer.

The hard coatings on the polycarbonate plate were performed with the object of substitution the glass in the car to the polycarbonate plate. In this research, tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS), methyltriethoxysilane (MTES) were used to prepare the coatings by sol-gel process. The optimum conditions and formulation to get the excellent physical properties were determined. The pretreatment condition of polycarbonate plate, the mole ratio of TEOS and MTES, selection of the solvent, the aging time, the amount of acid catalyst, and the number of folds of coating were characterized. Pretreatment with poly(methyl methacrylate) was very effective to increase the adhesion strength. The smooth coating which got the 2 H class in pencil hardness was formed in this research by sol-gel process.
