본 연구에서는 현대인들의 하루 중 많은 시간을 차지하는 착좌 생활을 관리하기 위한 롤러블(rollable) 스마트패드를 개발하였다. 이를 위해 PVDF(polyvinylidene fluoride) 필름을 이용한 압전센서(piezoelectric sensor)를 제작하였으며, 센서에서 데이터를 획득하고 및 햅틱 피드백(haptic feedback)을 주기 위한 측정시스템을 개발하였다. 또한, 스마트폰 어플리케이션을 통해 착좌 자세에 대한 정보를 실시간으로 제공하도록 하였다. 제작된 시스템의 착좌 자세 구분 정확도는 10명의 피험자를 대상으로 평가되었으며, 4가지 자세(상체를 좌, 우, 앞, 뒤로 기울인 앉은 자세)에 대한 실험결과 제작된 시스템은 92.5%의 정확도로 제시한 4가지의 자세를 구분하였다.

This paper presents an electrode shape design method for the multi-mode sensors that could deteict the selected structural multiple modes. The structure used for this study is an isotropic cantilever beam type with a PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) which is bonded onto the structure as a sensor. The shape optimization problem is solved by using Genetic Algorithm (GA) with an appropriate objective function. The performance of analytical optimal shape sensor is compared with that of experimental work. The results show that the, obtained electrode shape sensors have good performance to detect the multiple vibration modes simultaneously.

The thermal behavior of lithiated Si anodes has been investigated using differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). In particular, the effect of Si particle size on the thermal stability of a fully lithiated Si electrode was investigated. For DSC measurements, a lithiated Si anode was heated in a hermetically sealed high-pressure pan with a polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) binder and a 1 M $LiPF_6$ solution in an ethylene carbonate (EC)-diethyl carbonate (DEC) mixture. The thermal evolution around $140^{\circ}C$ increases with lithiation and with decreasing particle size; this phenomenon is attributed to the thermal decomposition of the solid electrolyte interface (SEI) film. Exothermic peaks, following a broad peak at around $140^{\circ}C$, shift to a lower temperature with a decrease in particle size, indicating that the thermal stability of the lithiated Si electrode strongly depends on the Si particle size.

Phase transition properties of the copolymer films of polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) and trifluoroethylene(TrFE), P(VDF-TrFE), were studied with X-ray diffraction (XRD) and polarization modulated ellipsometry (PME). XRD studies on both Langmuir-Blodgett (LB) films and spin coated films exhibit conversions from ferroelectric phase to paraelectric phase at $108{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ on heating and paraelectric phase to ferroelectric phase at $78{\pm}2^{\circ}C$ on cooling. The presence of the ferroelectric-paraelectric phase transition is also confirmed by the PME technique for the first time in this study. PME was proved to be a very sensitive tool in the measurement of the structural changes at the nano-thickness films.

In this work, a theoretical investigation on the energy harvesting is undertaken using one of potential smart materials; piezoelectric material. The energy equations fur both square and circular types of the piezoelectric material are derived, and the energy generated from two commercially available Products: $PZT (Lead/Zirconium/Titanium: Pb(Zr,\;Ti)O_3)$ and PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) are investigated in terms of the thickness and area. In addition, a finite element analysis (FEA) is undertaken to obtain the generated energy due to the uniform pressure applied on the surface of the piezoelectric materials. A comparative work between the theory and the FEA is made followed by the brief discussion on the usage of the harvested energy for Bio MEMS.

Spinel LiNi_0.5Mn_1.5O₄ (LNMO) has been considered as one of most promising cathode material, because of its low-cost and competitive energy density. However, 4.7V vs. Li/Li⁺ of high operating potential facilitates electrolyte degradation on cathode-electrolyte interface during charge-discharge process. In particular, commercial polyvinylidene fluoride (PVDF) is not sutaible for LNMO cathode binder because its weak van der waals force induces thick and non-uniform coverage on the cathode surface. In this review, we study high performance binders for LNMO cathode, which forms uniform coating layer to prevent direct contact between electrolyte and LNMO particle as well as modifying high quality cathode electrolyte interphase, improved cell performace.

Typically, contaminated sediments cause clogging of the drain pipe, which increases the residual water pressure in the drain pipe; this study constructed a system for improving drainage efficiency of tunnels by reducing physical and chemical obstructions through ultrasonic energy generated by a PVDF film. The developed hybrid drainage system utilized a PVDF material film fused with an existing drainage tunnel and maintenance system resulting in the ability to initialize the reverse piezoelectric effect, which was evaluated through an on site application. In order to investigate the maintenance performance of the tunnel drainage system, contaminated sediments were simulated in a drainage pipe to test the effect of ultrasonic conditions on drainage efficiency in the laboratory. As a result of applying the developed portable equipment, the ultrasonic energy was generated for about 20 minutes resulting in a reduction of 74.62% of the contaminated sediments and improving drainage efficiency. From the tunnel, acoustic pressure measurements were taken to calculate the response rate while taking into account the laboratory results. In addition, PVDF film was attached to the transverse and longitudinal side of the drainage pipes where contaminated sediments occur most often in the field tunnel. these calculations show contaminant removal was 90% effective.

In this study, the heterogeneous ion exchange membranes prepared by the combination of the carbon electrode and mixed the cation and anion exchange polymers and polyvinylidene fluoride as the basic polymer together were made to recognize the efficiency of the salt removal for the application of the membrane capacitive deionization process. The mixing weight ratio of the solvent, basic polymer and ion exchange resin was 7 : 2 : 1 and this mixed solution was directly cast on the electrode. As for the operating conditions of the adsorption voltage and time, feed flow rate, desorption voltage and time of the feed solution NaCl 100 mg/L, the salt removal efficiencies (SRE) were measured. Apart from this NaCl, the $CaCl_2$ and $MgSO_4$ solutions were investigated in terms of SRE as well. Typically, SRE for NaCl 100 mg/L solution under the conditions of adsorption voltage/time, 1.5 V/3 min, desorption voltage/time -0.1 V/3 min, was shown 98%. And for the $CaCl_2$ and $MgSO_4$ solutions, the SREs of 70 and 59% were measured under the conditions of adsorption voltage/time, 1.2 V/3 min, desorption voltage/time -0.5 V/5 min, respectively.

It has been required to find flaws smaller than $100{\mu}m$ by fracture mechanic consideration. We prepared the infiltrated and sintered SiC structural ceramic specimens including artificial flaws, Fe, pore, WC, Si particles of size ranging from $36{\mu}m$ to $200{\mu}m$. We performed C-scan for the specimen using a high frequency and broad-band ultrasonic transducer to employ polyvinylidene fluoride(PVDF) and a broad-band electric scanning system. The flaws in the ceramic specimens were detected in the high frequency detection field up to 100MHz. But, the flaws were not detected in lower frequency detection field up to 60MHz. The ratio of the detected smallest flaw size to the wavelength calculated at the center frequency, 80MHz, was about 0.25 in Rayleigh scattering region.

The piezoelectric thin film sensor can be used to interpret variations in structural and material properties, e.g. for structural integrity monitoring and assessment. To illustrate one of this potential benefit, PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) film sensors are used for monitoring impact damage in Gr/Ep composite panels. Both PVDF film sensors and strain gages are attached to the surface of Gr/Ep specimens. A series of impact tests at various impact energy by changing impact mass the height are performed on the instrumented drop weight impact tester. The sensor responses are carefully examined to predict the onset of impact damage such as indentation, matrix cracking, and delamination, etc. Test results show that the particular waveforms of sensor signals implying the damage initiation and development are detected above the damage initiation impact energy. As expected, the PVDF film sensor is found to be more sensitive to impact damage initiation event than the strain gage.
