  • A simple process of fabricating micropillar structure and its influence upon enhancing electrochemical biosensor response were studied in this work. Conducting polymer PEDOT was used as a base material in formulating a composite with PVA. Micro porous PC membrane filter was used as a template for the micropillar of the composite on ITO electrode. This structure could provide plenty of encapsulating space for enzyme species. After dosing enzyme solution into this space, Nafion film tent was cast over the pillar structure to complete the micropillar cavity structure. In this way, the encapsulation of enzyme could be accomplished without any chemical modification. The amount of enzyme species was easily controllable by varying the concentration of the dosing solution. The more amount of enzyme is stored in the sensor, the higher the electrochemical response is produced. One more reason for the sensitivity improvement comes from the large surface area of the micropillar structure. Application of 0.7 V produced the best current response under the condition of pH 7.4. This biosensor showed linear response to the glucose in 0.1~1 mM range with the average sensitivity of $14.06{\mu}A/mMcm^2$. Detection limit was 0.01 mM based on S/N = 3.

  • 반도체 가스센서에서는 가연성 및 탄화수소계 가스를 감지 하기 위해서 $100{\sim}500^{\circ}C$ 이상의 동작온도를 필요로 한며, 이에 따라 반도체식 가스센서의 마이크로 히터 소재는 고온에서 열적 안정성이 있는 소재가 요구된다. 현재 상용화되고 있는 반도체식 가스센서는 실리콘(Silicon) 기반의 MEMS 기술을 이용한 가스센서이며, 구조적으로나 성능적 한계가 드러남에 따라 실리콘 이외의 다양한 재료의 MEMS 응용기술 개발이 필요한 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 실리콘의 재료적 한계를 극복하기 위해 다공성 알루미늄 산화물(AAO)을 기판으로 사용하여 마이크로 히터를 제작하였다. AAO의 제작에 앞서 CMP, 화학연마, 전해연마를 이용하여 적합한 전처리 공정을 선정하였고, AAO 제작 시 온도, 시간, 전압의 변수를 주어 마이크로 히터 기판에 적합한 공정을 탐색하였다. 마이크로 플랫폼은 MEMS 공정으로 제작되었으며, PR(Photo Resist)을 LPR(Liquid Photo Resist)과 DFR(Dry Film Resist)로 각각 2종 씩 선택하여 AAO에 적합한 제품을 선정하였다. 제작된 마이크로 히터는 $1.8mm{\times}1,8mm$로 소형화 하였고, 열손실의 제어를 위해 열확산 방지층을 추가하였다. 구동 온도, 소비전력, 장시간 구동시 안정성의 측정 및 평가는 적외선 열화상 카메라와 kiethly 2420 source meter를 이용하여 측정하였으며, 열확산 방지층의 유 무에 따른 온도 분포 및 소비전력을 비교평가 하였다. 최종적으로는 현재 사용화 되어있는 가스센서들의 소비전력과 비교 평가 하여 논의 하였다.

  • 본 논문에서는 졸-침투와 직접-패턴 공정을 이용하여 향상된 압전 후막의 전기적 특성과 우수한 패터닝 특성을 동시에 만족할 수 있는 제작 방법을 제시한다. 저온(< $850^{\circ}C$) 공정 후 후막의 고밀도 및 직접-패턴의 목적을 달성하기 위해서, 감광성 티탄산 지르콘산 연 ($Pb(Zr,Ti)O_3$, PZT) 졸을 스크린인쇄된 PZT 후막 내부로 침투시켰다. 직접-패턴된 PZT막은 포토크롬마스크와 UV 조사에 의해서 일정한 간격으로 인쇄된 후막 위에 성공적으로 형성되었다. 스크린인쇄된 후막은 분말형태의 기공성 구조를 갖고 있어 조사된 UV빛이 산란되기 때문에, 감광성 졸-침투 공정을 할 때 PZT 후막의 특성을 증가시키기 위한 공정의 최적화가 필요하다. 침투된 감광성 PZT 졸의 농도, 조사된 UV 시간 및 용매 현상 시간을 최적화한 결과, 0.35 M의 PZT 농도, 4 분의 UV 조사시간과 15 초의 용매 현상시간으로 졸-침투된 PZT 후막은 $800^{\circ}C$ 소결 온도에서 입자들의 성장에 의해 치밀화 정도가 증가되었다. 또한 PZT후막의 강유전 특성(잔류분극 및 항복 전압)도 향상되었다. 특히 잔류분극값은 스크린인쇄된 후막보다 약 4배정도 증가되었다. 이렇게 제작된 후막은 어레이타입의 압전형 마이크로미터크기의 센서 및 액츄에이터 등에 응용 가능성을 제시할 수 있었다.

  • Carbon nanotubes (CNTs) are attractive material because of their superior electrical, mechanical, and chemical properties. Furthermore, their geometric features such as a large aspect ratio and a small radius of curvature at tip make them ideal for low-voltage field emission devices including backlight units of liquid crystal display, lighting lamps, X-ray source, microwave amplifiers, electron microscopes, etc. In field emission devices for display applications, the phosphor anode is positioned against the CNT emitters. In most case, light generated from the phosphor by electron bombardment passes through the anode front plate to reach observers. However, light is produced in a narrow depth of the surface of the phosphor layer because phosphor particles are big as much as several micrometers, which means that it is necessary to transmit through the phosphor layer. Hence, a drop of light intensity is unavoidable during this process. In this study, we fabricated a transparent cathode back plate by depositing an ultra-thin film of single walled CNTs (SWCNTs) on an indium tin oxide (ITO)-coated glass substrate. Two types of phosphor anode plates were employed to our transparent cathode back plate: One is an ITO glass substrate with a phosphor layer and the other is a Cr-coated glass substrate with phosphor layer. For the former case, light was radiated from both the front and the back sides, where luminance on the back was ~30% higher than that on the front in our experiments. For the other case, however, light was emitted only from the cathode back side as the Cr layer on the anode glass rolled as a reflecting mirror, improving the light luminance as much as ~60% compared with that on the front of one. This study seems to be discussed about the morphologies and field emission characteristics of CNT emitters according to the experimental parameters in fabricating the lamps emitting light on the both sides or only on the cathode back side. The experimental procedures are as follows. First, a CNT aqueous solution was prepared by ultrasonically dispersing purified SWCNTs in deionized water with sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). A milliliter or even several tens of micro-liters of CNT solution was deposited onto a porous alumina membrane through vacuum filtration. Thereafter, the alumina membrane was solvated with the 3 M NaOH solution and the floating CNT film was easily transferred to an ITO glass substrate. It is required for CNT film to make standing CNTs up to serve as electron emitter through an adhesive roller activation.

  • Purpose: The purpose of this study was to investigate the corrosion behaviors of dental implant alloy after microsized surface modification in electrolytes containing Mn ion. Materials and Methods: $Mn-TiO_2$ coatings were prepared on the Ti-6Al-4V alloy for dental implants using a plasma electrolytic oxidation (PEO) method carried out in electrolytes containing different concentrations of Mn, namely, 0%, 5%, and 20%. Potentiodynamic method was employed to examine the corrosion behaviors, and the alternatingcurrent (AC) impedance behaviors were examined in 0.9% NaCl solution at $36.5^{\circ}C{\pm}1.0^{\circ}C$ using a potentiostat and an electrochemical impedance spectroscope. The potentiodynamic test was performed with a scanning rate of $1.667mV\;s^{-1}$ from -1,500 to 2,000 mV. A frequency range of $10^{-1}$ to $10^5Hz$ was used for the electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) measurements. The amplitude of the AC signal was 10 mV, and 5 points per decade were used. The morphology and structure of the samples were examined using field-emission scanning electron microscopy and thin-film X-ray diffraction. The elemental analysis was performed using energy-dispersive X-ray spectroscopy. Result: The PEO-treated surface exhibited an irregular pore shape, and the pore size and number of the pores increased with an increase in the Mn concentration. For the PEO-treated surface, a higher corrosion current density ($I_{corr}$) and a lower corrosion potential ($E_{corr}$) was obtained as compared to that of the bulk surface. However, the current density in the passive regions ($I_{pass}$) was found to be more stable for the PEO-treated surface than that of the bulk surface. As the Mn concentration increased, the capacitance values of the outer porous layer and the barrier layer decreased, and the polarization resistance of the barrier layers increased. In the case of the Mn/Ca-P coatings, the corroded surface was found to be covered with corrosion products. Conclusion: It is confirmed that corrosion resistance and polarization resistance of PEO-treated alloy increased as Mn content increased, and PEO-treated surface showed lower current density in the passive region.

  • Statement of problem: Recently, anodic oxidation of cp-titanium is a popular method for treatment of titanium implant surfaces. It is a relatively easy process, and the thickness, structure, composition, and the microstructure of the oxide layer can be variably modified. Moreover the biological properties of the oxide layer can be controlled. Purpose: In this study, the roughness, microstructure, crystal structure of the variously treated groups (current, voltage, frequency, electrolyte, thermal treatment) were evaluated. And the specimens were soaked in simulated body fluid (SBF) to evaluate the effects of the surface characteristics and the oxide layers on the bioactivity of the specimens which were directly related to bone formation and integration. Materials and methods: Surface treatments consisted of either anodization or anodization followed thermal treatment. Specimens were divided into seven groups, depending on their anodizing treatment conditions: constant current mode (350V for group 2), constant voltage mode (155V for group 3), 60 Hz pulse series (230V for group 4, 300V for group 5), and 1000 Hz pulse series (400V for group 6, 460V for group 7). Non-treated native surfaces were used as controls (group 1). In addition, for the purpose of evaluating the effects of thermal treatment, each group was heat treated by elevating the temperature by $5^{\circ}C$ per minute until $600^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour, and then bench cured. Using scanning electron microscope (SEM), porous oxide layers were observed on treated surfaces. The crystal structures and phases of titania were identified by thin-film x-ray diffractmeter (TF-XRD). Atomic force microscope (AFM) was used for roughness measurement (Sa, Sq). To evaluate bioactivity of modified titanium surfaces, each group was soaked in SBF for 168 hours (1 week), and then changed surface characteristics were analyzed by SEM and TF-XRD. Results: On basis of our findings, we concluded the following results. 1. Most groups showed morphologically porous structures. Except group 2, all groups showed fine to coarse convex structures, and the groups with superior quantity of oxide products showed superior morphology. 2. As a result of combined anodization and thermal treatment, there were no effects on composition of crystalline structure. But, heat treatment influenced the quantity of formation of the oxide products (rutile / anatase). 3. Roughness decreased in the order of groups 7,5,2,3,6,4,1 and there was statistical difference between group 7 and the others (p<0.05), but group 7 did not show any bioactivity within a week. 4. In groups that implanted ions (Ca/P) on the oxide layer through current and voltage control, showed superior morphology, and oxide products, but did not express any bioactivity within a week. 5. In group 3, the oxide layer was uniformly organized with rutile, with almost no titanium peak. And there were abnormally more [101] orientations of rutile crystalline structure, and bonelike apatite formation could be seen around these crystalline structures. Conclusion: As a result of control of various factors in anodization (current, voltage, frequency, electrolytes, thermal treatment), the surface morphology, micro-porosity, the 2nd phase formation, crystalline structure, thickness of the oxide layer could be modified. And even more, the bioactivity of the specimens in vitro could be induced. Thus anodic oxidation can be considered as an excellent surface treatment method that will able to not only control the physical properties but enhance the biological characteristics of the oxide layer. Furthermore, it is recommended in near future animal research to prove these results.
