연속적인 1차원의 나노섬유를 제작하는데 빠르고 효과적인 방법인 전기방사법을 이용하여 Ag 나노섬유로 이루어진 투명전극을 제작하고 그 특성을 측정하였다. 전기방사를 통해 제조된 Ag 나노섬유는 큰 종횡비를 갖게 되며 열처리를 통해 생성된 섬유사이의 fused junction이 접촉저항을 낮추어 전기적 특성을 향상시킨다. Ag/고분자 용액을 졸-겔 방법을 이용하여 제조한 후 glass 기판위에 방사시켜 Ag/고분자 나노섬유 구조체를 제작하고 $200{\sim}500^{\circ}C$, 2시간 열처리하여 고분자가 일정부분 제거되고 전도성이 향상된 Ag 나노섬유 투명전극을 제조하였다. Ag 나노섬유의 모폴로지를 FE-SEM을 통해 확인하였고 Ag 나노섬유 투명전극의 투과도와 면저항을 UV-vis-NIR spectroscopy와 I-V특성 측정장치를 사용하여 측정하였다. 투과도 83%에서 면저항 $250{\Omega}/sq$의 투명전극을 제작하였으며 전도성필름에 적합한 수준이다. Ag 나노섬유로 이루어진 투명 전극은 전기적, 광학적, 기계적 특성이 우수하여 차세대 유연 디스플레이에 적용 가능성을 보여준다.

BACKGROUND: The major challenge of tissue engineering is to develop constructions with suitable properties which would mimic the natural extracellular matrix to induce the proliferation and differentiation of cells. Poly(${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone)-poly(ethylene glycol)-poly(${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone) (PCL-PEG-PCL, PCEC), chitosan (CS), nano-silica ($n-SiO_2$) and nano-hydroxyapatite (n-HA) are biomaterials successfully applied for the preparation of 3D structures appropriate for tissue engineering. METHODS: We evaluated the effect of n-HA and $n-SiO_2$ incorporated PCEC-CS nanofibers on physical properties and osteogenic differentiation of human dental pulp stem cells (hDPSCs). Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, field emission scanning electron microscope, transmission electron microscope, thermogravimetric analysis, contact angle and mechanical test were applied to evaluate the physicochemical properties of nanofibers. Cell adhesion and proliferation of hDPSCs and their osteoblastic differentiation on nanofibers were assessed using MTT assay, DAPI staining, alizarin red S staining, and QRT-PCR assay. RESULTS: All the samples demonstrated bead-less morphologies with an average diameter in the range of 190-260 nm. The mechanical test studies showed that scaffolds incorporated with n-HA had a higher tensile strength than ones incorporated with $n-SiO_2$. While the hydrophilicity of $n-SiO_2$ incorporated PCEC-CS nanofibers was higher than that of samples enriched with n-HA. Cell adhesion and proliferation studies showed that n-HA incorporated nanofibers were slightly superior to $n-SiO_2$ incorporated ones. Alizarin red S staining and QRT-PCR analysis confirmed the osteogenic differentiation of hDPSCs on PCEC-CS nanofibers incorporated with n-HA and $n-SiO_2$. CONCLUSION: Compared to other groups, PCEC-CS nanofibers incorporated with 15 wt% n-HA were able to support more cell adhesion and differentiation, thus are better candidates for bone tissue engineering applications.

본 연구는 계층적 구조를 갖는 중공형 $ZnCo_2O_4$ 나노 섬유를 전기방사공정 및 후 열처리 공정을 통해 합성했다. 용액에 polystyrene (PS) 나노비드를 첨가하여 방사된 섬유는 열처리 과정을 통해 PS가 제거됨으로써 구조체 내 기공이 균일하게 생성되었으며 이는 구조체 내로 열 전달 및 가스의 침투를 원활히 함으로써 계층적 구조를 갖는 중공형 $ZnCo_2O_4$ 나노 섬유가 합성될 수 있었다. 계층적 구조를 갖는 중공형 $ZnCo_2O_4$ 나노 섬유를 리튬 이차전지의 음극활물질로 적용한 결과, $1.0A\;g^{-1}$의 높은 전류밀도에도 불구하고 300 사이클 동안 $815mA\;h\;g^{-1}$ ($646mA\;h\;cm^{-3}$)의 높은 가역 용량을 유지했다. 반면 $ZnCo_2O_4$ 나노 분말은 300 사이클 후 $487mA\;h\;g^{-1}$ ($450mA\;h\;cm^{-3}$)의 방전 용량을 나타냈다. 계층적 구조를 갖는 중공형 $ZnCo_2O_4$ 나노 섬유의 우수한 리튬 저장 특성은 중공 구조 및 섬유 표면을 구성하는 $ZnCo_2O_4$ 나노결정에 기인한 결과이다. 본 연구에서 제안한 계층적 구조를 갖는 중공형 나노 섬유 구조체는 다양한 금속 산화물로 확장 적용이 가능하며 에너지 저장 분야를 포함한 여러 분야에 응용 가능하다.

Carbon nanofiber electrode has been fabricated for energy storage systems by the electrospinning of SU-8 precursor and subsequent pyrolysis. Various parameters including the applied voltage, the distance between syringe tip and target collector and the flow rate of the polymer affect the diameter of SU-8 electrospun nanofibers. Shrinkage during pyrolysis decreases the fiber diameter. As the pyrolysis temperature increases, the resistivity decreases dramatically. Low resistivity is one of the important characteristics of the electrodes of an energy storage device. Given the advantages of carbon nanofibers having high external surface area, electrical conductivity, and lithium intercalation ability, SU-8 derived carbon nanofibers were applied to the anode of a full lithium ion cell. In this paper, we studied the physical properties of carbon fiber electrode by scanning transmission microscopy, thermal gravimetric analysis, and four-point probe. The electrochemical characteristics of the electrode were investigated by cyclic voltammogram and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy plots.

[ $TiO_2/PVP$ ] 나노섬유의 배열을 증진시키기 위하여 콜렉터 접지방법을 변화시키면서 전기방사하였다. 한축방향의 배열을 가진 섬유를 만들기 위하여 두개의 전도성 기판을 콜렉터로 사용하여 전기방사하였다. 또한, 두축방향의 섬유배열을 하기 위하여 $90^{\circ}$ 각도로 배치된 콜렉터를 타이머로 조절하면서 방사하였다. 전기방사 시 나노섬유는 콜렉터 전극사이에서 전기장 효과에 의해 퍼지는 현상이 관찰되었다. 실험결과, 후자의 $TiO_2/PVP$ 나노섬유 경우 콜렉터에 정체된 전하의 해소로 인하여 방향성에 더 효과적이었다.

The copper-zinc(Cu-Zn) nanofiber was prepared by electrospinning method. The Cu/PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) and Zn/PVP precursor solutions were prepared by dissolution of copper sulfate and zinc acetate in methanol, respectively. The PVP was used to control the viscosity of the precursor solutions. The optimized ratio for the Cu/PVP and Zn/PVP nanofibers was determined separately. Then the suitable ratio of the precursor solutions was applied for fabrication of Cu/Zn/PVP nanofiber. For the electrospinning method, the precursor solutions were filled in a syringe. The distance between metallic needle on the syringe and collector was fixed at 16 cm and the voltage was applied on the tip was 13.0 kV. And the as-spun nanofiber was heated at 353K for removal of residual solvent. Then the heated nanofibers were calcined at 973K to decompose PVP. The obtained Cu, Zn, and Cu-Zn nanofibers were investigated with X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) for the chemical properties, scanning electron microscopy (SEM) for the morphologies, and X-ray diffraction (XRD) to characterize the crystallinity and phase of nanofibers.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes were purified by using the nitric acid after the mechanical cutting, which carboxylic group might be introduced into the surface of nanotubes. To enhance the dispersion of CNTs, carboxylic groups were substituted in the reaction with octadecyl amine containing a long alkyl group. Nanofibers were manufactured by electrospinning, the solution that mixed with PMMA and ODA-fuctionalized CNTs in dimethyl formamide and dispersed with ultrasonication. Diameter and alignment of nanofibers with various electrospinning parameters, such as the CNT and PMMA concentration in solution, the applied voltage, and the distance to the collector were investigated. As a result, the nanofiber diameter was increased with the increment of PMMA concentration, whereas it was reduced as the applied voltage and the spinning distance was increased. The spinning area became smaller with the distance. The nanofibers were formed without the defect on surface and well aligned in a specific concentration of PMMA and nanotubes.

The synthesis of Ni-catalyzed multi-walled carbon nanotubes and nanofibers on a catalytic metal substrate, using an ethylene fueled inverse diffusion flame as a heat source, was investigated. When the gas temperature was varied from 1,400K to 900K, approximately, carbon nanotubes with diameters of 20∼60nm were formed on the substrate. In the regions where the gas temperature was higher than 1,400K or lower than 900K, iron nanorods or carbon nanofibers were synthesized, respectively. Based on the quantitative analyses of large amount of SEM and TEM images, the nanotubes formed closer to the flame had a tendency of having larger diameters. HR-TEM images and Raman spectra revealed that carbon nanotubes synthesized had multi-walled structures with some defective graphite layers at the wall. Based on the graphite mode of the Raman spectra, it was believed that the optimal synthesis could be obtained as the substrate was positioned at between 5.5mm and 5.0mm, from the flame axis.

In this study, activated carbons nanofibers (ACNFs) were prepared from polyacrylonitrile-based nanofibers by physical ($H_2O$ and $CO_2$) and chemical (KOH) activation. The surface and structural characteristics of the porous carbon were observed by scanning electron microscopy and X-ray diffraction, respectively. Pore characteristics were investigated by $N_2$/77K adsorption isotherms. The specific surface area of the physically ACNFs was increased up to $2400m^2/g$ and the ACNFs were found to be mainly composed of micropore structures. Chemical activation using KOH produced ACNFs with high specific surface area (up to $2500m^2/g$), and the micropores were mainly found in the ACNFs. The physically and chemically ACNFs showed both mainly type I from the International Union of Pure and Applied Chemistry classification.
