Electrolyzed reduced water was known as an alkaline solvent than piped water, natural water and mineral water etc. By means of reduction property, electrolyzed reduced water could dissolve a solute than other kinds of water without chemicals. In this study, serpentine dissolution in electrolyzed reduced water was investigated as a novel pre-treatment of serpentine which was a minerals for carbon dioxide sequestration. The elements (Ca, Si, Mg etc.) of serpentine were dissolved rapidly at early in the dissolvation then after some minutes the solubilities of serpentine elements showed stable state without abrupt changes. In spite of serpentine elements dissolution, chemical bondings and crystallographic structure of serpentine were not changed. It was explained that the dissolution mechanism of serpentine occurred from surface in electrolyzed reduced water and bulk structure sustained without collapse.

Micro-scale serpentine structure fibers are widely used as flexible sensor in the manufacturing of micro-nano flexible electronic devices because of their outstanding non-linear mechanical properties and organizational flexibility. The use of melt electrowriting (MEW) technology, combined with the axial bending effect of the Taylor cone jet in the process, can achieve the micro-scale serpentine structure fibers. Due to the interference of the process parameters, it is still challenging to achieve the precise deposition of micro-scale and high-consistency serpentine structure fibers. In this paper, the micro-scale serpentine structure fiber is produced by MEW combined with axial bending effect. Based on the controlled deposition of MEW, applied voltage, collector speed, nozzle height and nozzle diameter are adjusted to achieve the precise deposition of micro-scale serpentine structure fibers with different morphologies in a single motion dimension. Finally, the influence mechanism of the above four parameters on the precise deposition of micro-scale serpentine fibers is explored.

Dissolution process of serpentine in distilled water was systematically investigated for study on pre-treatment of serpentine which was a candidate material for carbon dioxide sequestration. The metallic ions(Ca, Si, Mg etc.) were dissolved in distilled water at ambient condition and their concentrations were changed with dissolution time. The precise evaluation of dissolution process for serpentine dissolved solvent was performed by ion conductivity and pH measurement. Serpentine dissolution in distilled water was evaluated as a stable pre-treatment process without changes of crystallographic structure and chemical structure changes.

We present a piezoelectric actuator using stiffness control and stroke amplification mechanism in order to make large lateral displacement. In this work, we suggest stiffness control approach that generates lateral displacement by increasing the vertical stiffness and reducing the lateral stiffness using additional structure. In addition, an additional structure of a serpentine spring amplifies the lateral displacement like leverage structure. The suggested lateral PZT actuator (bellows actuator) consists of serpentine spring and PZT/electrode layer which is located at the edge of the serpentine spring. The edge of the serpentine spring prevents the vertical motion of PZT layer, while the other edge of the serpentine spring makes stroke amplification like leverage structure. We have determined dimensions of the bellows actuator using ANSYS simulation. Length, width and thickness of PZT layer are 135$\mu$m, 20$\mu$m and 0.4$\mu$m, respectively. Dimensions of the silicon serpentine spring are thickness of 25$\mu$m, length of 300$\mu$m, and width of 5$\mu$m. The bellows actuator has been fabricated by SOI wafer with 25$\mu$m-top silicon and 1$\mu$m-buried oxide layer. The bellows actuator shows the maximum 3.93$\pm$0.2$\mu$m lateral displacement at 16V with 1Hz sinusoidal voltage input. In the frequency response test, the fabricated bellows actuator showed consistent displacement from 1Hz to 1kHz at 10V. From experimental study, we found the bellows actuator using thin film PZT and silicon serpentine spring generated mainly laterally displacement not vertical displacement at 16V, and serpentine spring played role of stroke amplification.

We demonstrate a new double-layer structure for stretchable interconnects, where the top surface of a serpentine polyimide support is coated with a thin eutectic gallium-indium liquid metal layer. Because the liquid metal layer is constantly fixed on the solid serpentine body in this liquid-on-solid structure, the overall stretching is accomplished by widening the solid frame itself, with little variation in the total length and cross-sectional area of the current path. Therefore, we can achieve both invariant resistance and infinite fatigue life by combining the stretchable configuration of the underlying body with the freely deformable nature of the top liquid conductor. Further, we fabricated various types of double-layer interconnects as narrow as 10 ㎛ using the roll-painting and lift-off patterning technique based on conventional photolithography and quantitatively validated their beneficial properties. The new interconnecting structure is expected to be widely used in applications requiring high-performance and high-density stretchable circuits owing to its superior reliability and capability to be monolithically integrated with thin-film devices.

A serpentine channel geometry often used in a fuel cell has a strong pressure gradient between adjacent channels in specific regions. The pressure gradient helps some amount of reactant gas penetrate through a gas diffusion layer(GDL). As a result, the overall serpentine flow structure is slightly different from the intention of a designer. The purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of serpentine flow structure on current density distribution. By using a commercial code, STAR-CD, a numerical simulation is performed to analyze the fuel cell with high aspect ratio of active area. To increase the accuracy of the numerical simulation, GDL permeabilities are measured with various compressive forces. Three-dimensional flow field and current density distribution are calculated. For the verification of the numerical simulation results, water condensation process in the cathode channel is observed through a transparent bipolar plate. The result of this study shows that the region of relatively low current density corresponds that of dropwise condensation in cathode channels.

유성밀로써 사문석과 활석을 분쇄시 X-ray 회절분석, FT-IR, DSC-TG, 입도분석 그리고 SEM관찰 등을 이용하여 결정조직과 물리적 특성변화를 조사하였다. 분쇄기간이 증가함에 따라 사문석과 활석 원시료의 결정피크가 점처 감소하여 120분 이상 분쇄시 비정질상으로 변하였으며 이와 같은 변화는 마그네슘 결정 조직의 무질서에 기인한다. 분쇄된 시료에서 나타나는 흡열반응의 피크는 원시료보다 낮은 온도에서 관찰되었다. 또한 불규칙한 모양의 원시료는 분쇄처리를 실시함에 따라 구형의 응집체로 변하였다.

경북 봉화군 소천면의 선캠브리아기 변성퇴적암 내에는 석회규산염층이 산출되며, 이 석회규산염층은 두께 $14{\sim}18\;m$ 정도로 층리면에 평행하게 협재되어 있다. 이 암층에는 방해석, 백운석, 사문석, 투각섬석이 주로 포함되고, 일부에서 활석이 소량 포함된다. 사문석은 석회규산염층의 중상부에 다량 함유되고 투각섬석은 하부층에서 주로 산출한다. 사문석이 많이 포함된 암석일수록 짙은 녹색을 나타낸다. XRD 및 FT-IR의 분석결과, 이곳의 사문석광물은 안티고라이트에 해당하는 것으로 나타났으며, SEM의 관찰에서도 안티고라이트의 판상 형태가 잘 나타났다. EPMA에 의한 이 사문석의 성분 분석의 결과, 안티고라이트의 이상적인 조성($SiO_2$: 44.3 wt% and MgO: 40.8 wt%)에 가깝게 나타났으며, 이를 통하여 계산된 구조식은 $Mg_{2.82}Al_{0.04}Fe^{3+}_{0.04}Si_{2.05}O_5(OH)_4$으로 나타났다. 석회규산염층은 구성 광물 및 산상 등을 검토해 본 결과, 퇴적 당시 환경에 따른 퇴적물의 광물 및 화학성분의 차이를 가지는 석회질 퇴적암이 변성작용을 받아 형성된 것으로 보인다. 안티고라이트가 다량 함유되는 상부층은 투각섬석이 포함되는 하부층에 비해 상대적으로 Mg이 더 풍부한 퇴적암으로 구성되었을 것으로 사료된다.

분리판은 반응물 및 전자를 전달하고 부산물인 물과 열을 배출하며, 막전극접합체의 지지체 역할을 하는 고분자전해질 연료전지의 핵심 구성요소이다. 따라서 분리판의 유로 구조는 연료전지의 성능을 향상시키는데 중요한 역할을 한다. 본 연구에서는 압축률이 다른 구리 폼을 cathode 분리판에 적용한 25 cm² 단위 전지를 이용하여 성능 평가를 수행하였다. 금속 폼의 압축률이 증가할수록 총 저항이 감소하였으며, 특히 전하전달과 물질전달 저항이 사형 유로에 비해 크게 개선되어 중전류밀도 및 고전류밀도 영역에서 전압 손실을 줄일 수 있었다. 가압한 공기를 사용한 사형 유로 구조의 경우 연료전지의 성능이 압축한 금속 폼(S3)을 적용한 유로와 중전류밀도 영역까지는 큰 차이가 없었으나, 고전류밀도 영역에서는 유로 구조의 한계로 낮은 성능을 보였다.
