Nano composite materials were multi-constituent combinations of nano dimensional phases with distinct differences in structure, chemistry and properties. Nano particles were less likely to create large stress concentrations and thereby can avoid the compromise of the material ductility while improve other mechanical properties. Corona discharge was an electrical discharge. The ionization of a fluid surrounding a conductor was electrically energized. This discharge would occur when the strength of the electric field around the conductor was high enough to form a conductive region, but not high enough to cause electrical breakdown or arcing to nearby objects. This paper shows all the studies done on the preparation of nano fillers. Special attention has given to the ACSR transmission line conductor, TiO₂ nano fillers and also to the evaluation of corona resistance on dielectric materials discussed in detail. The measurement of the dielectric properties of the nano fillers and the parameters influencing them were also discussed in the paper. Corona discharge test reveals that in 0%N ACSR sample corona loss was directly proportional to the applied line voltage. No significant change in corona loss between 0%N and 1%N. When TiO₂ nano filler concentration was increased up to 10%N fine decrement in corona loss was found when compared to base ACSR conductor, corona loss was decreased by 40.67% in 10%N ACSR sample. It was also found from the surface conditions test that inorganic TiO₂ nano filler increases the key parameters like tensile strength and erosion depth.

The present study examined that in vivo/vitro test is investigated in normotensive sham-operated rats(NSR) and aldosterone-analogue deoxycorticosterone acetate (DOCA)-salt hypertensive rats(ADHR) and that the antiliypertensive effect was induced by silver spike point(SSP) electrical stimulation at meridian points(CV-3, -4, Ki-12, SP-6, LR-3, BL-25, -28, -32, -52), specifically, such as aldosterone in 24 hour urine analysis from normal volunteer. The heart weight, the tickness of vascular wall, collagen fiber and the systolic blood pressure were significantly increased in ADHR than that in NSR. The required time of PSS-induced resting tone and the phosphorylation of stress-activated protein kinase/c-Jun N-terminal protein kinase(SAPK/JNK) were significantly increased in ADHR than that in NSR. However, the Kv currents were significantly decreased in ADHR than that in NSR. The current of 1 Hz continue type of SSP electrical stimulation significantly decreased in excretion of urine aldosterone from normal volunteer. These results suggest that the development of aldosterone analogue-induced hypertension is associated with changed heart weight, content of collagen fiber, tickness of vascular wall, blood pressure, resting tone, voltage-dependent K+ current(Kv) and phosphorylation of SAPK/JNK, which directly affects blood pressure. Therefore the hypertension is a risk factor on cerebrovascular disease. Moreover, These results suggest that the SSP electrical stimulation, especially current of 1 Hz continue type, significantly regulates excretion of urine aldosterone from volunteer.

In this study, the effects of an annealed buffer layer with different thickness on heterojunction diodes based on the ZnO/ZnO/p-Si(111) systems were reported. The effects of an annealed buffer layer with different thickness on the structural, optical, and electrical properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) films on p-Si(111) were also studied. Before zinc oxide (ZnO) deposition, different thicknesses of ZnO buffer layer, 10 nm, 30 nm, 50 nm and 70 nm, were grown on p-Si(111) substrates using a radio-frequency sputtering system; samples were subsequently annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 10 minutes in $N_2$ in a horizontal thermal furnace. Zinc oxide (ZnO) films with a width of 280nm were also deposited using a radio-frequency sputtering system on the annealed ZnO/p-Si (111) substrates at room temperature; samples were subsequently annealed at $700^{\circ}C$ for 30 minutes in $N_2$. In this experiment, the structural and optical properties of ZnO thin films were studied by XRD (X-ray diffraction), and room temperature PL (photoluminescence) measurements, respectively. Current-voltage (I-V) characteristics were measured with a semiconductor parameter analyzer. The thermal tensile stress was found to decrease with increasing buffer layer thickness. Among the ZnO/ZnO/p-Si(111) diodes fabricated in this study, the sample that was formed with the condition of a 50 nm thick ZnO buffer layer showed a strong c-axis preferred orientation and I-V characteristics suitable for a heterojunction diode.

본 논문은 플렉시블 디스플레이용 stainless steel(SS) 기판의 평탄막 재료로서 유기 및 유기/무기 하이브리드 에폭시 레진을 연구한 첫 결과를 보고한다. 유기 에폭시로는 diglycidyl ether of bisphenol A(DGEBA)를, 하이브리드 에폭시는 실세스퀴옥산이 포함된 octa(dimethylsiloxypropylglycidylether) silsesquioxane(OG)를 선택하였다. 경화제로는 diaminodiphenylmethane(DDM)을 에폭시와 1 : 2 당량비로 사용하였으며 두 물질 모두 SS 기판위에 어려움 없이 코팅이 되었다. TGA로 살펴본 열 안정성 분석은 순수한 물질이나 경화된 필름이나 모두 OG가 DGEBA 보다 안정하며 AFM에 의한 필름 표면의 관찰은 필름이 충분히 두꺼운 경우$(>\;1\;{\mu})\;1{\sim}2\;nm$ 정도의 표면 거칠기 값을 갖는 평탄한 면이 얻어진다는 것을 보여주었다. 또 이 필름들은 $0{\sim}10000$ 초에 걸치는 시간 동안 100 V와 $100^{\circ}C$의 외부 스트레스를 받은 후에도 일정한 유전 상수(${\sim}3.5$), 정전 용량 및 전류의 흐름을 나타내 절연 특성이 안정되어 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

CF4 이온빔보조증착법으로 굴절률이 유리보다 낮은 SiOxFy 박막을 제작하고 광학적, 구조적 및 화학적 특성을 연구하였다. End-Hall 이온총의 양극전압의 간소에 따라 SiOxFy 박막의 굴절률은 1.455까지 변하였으며, 이온빔 전류밀도의 증가에 따라서 굴절률은 1.462에서 1.430까지 변하였다. XPS와 FT-IR 분석으로부터 SiOxFy 박막의 F양이 증가함에 따라 Si-O 결합은 파수가 높은 쪽으로 이동하였고, F이 약 8.5at.%인 SiOxFy 박막은 OH 결합이 매우 감소하였으여, 박막 표면의 F이 H2O와 결합하여 탈착되는 것을 알았다. SiOxFy 박막의 응력은 0.3GPa 이하의 압축응력이었으며, 결정구조는 비정질이었다. SiOxFy 박막의 응용으로서 SiOxFy 박막과 흡수층 Si 박막을 이용하여 2층 반사방지막을 제작하였다.

Electricity generation using fossil fuels has caused environmental pollution. To solve this problem, research on new renewable energy sources (solar, wind power, geothermal heat, etc.) to replace fossil fuels is ongoing. These devices are able to generate power consistently. However, they have many weaknesses, such as high installation costs and limits to possible setup environments. Therefore, an active study on piezoelectric harvesting technology that is able to surmount the limitations of existing energy technologies is underway. Piezoelectric harvesting technology uses the piezoelectric effect, which occurs in crystals that generate voltage when stress is applied. Therefore, it has advantages, such as a wider installation base and lower technological costs. In this study, a piezoelectric harvesting device imitating seaweed, which has a consistent motion caused by fluid, is used. Thus, it can regenerate electricity at sea or on a bridge pillar, which has a constant turbulent flow. The components of the device include circuitry, springs, an electric generator, and balancing and buoyancy elements. Additionally, multiphysics analysis coupled with fluid, structure, and piezoelectric elements is conducted using COMSOL Multiphysics to evaluate performance. Through this program, displacement and electric power were analyzed, and the actual performance was confirmed by the experiment.

As a considerable, experimental approach, an autocarriage type of $CO_2$ welding machine and a MIG(metal inert gas) welding robot in the inert gas atmosphere were utilized in order to realize Al 5083 welding to hull and relevant components of green leisure ships. This study aims at investigating the effect of welding conditions(current, voltage, welding speed, etc.) on thermal deformation that occurs as welding operation and tensile characteristics after welding, by using Al 5083, nonferrous material, applied to manufacturing of eco-environmental leisure ships. With respect to welding condition to minimize the thermal deformation, 150 A and 16 V at the wire-feed rate of 6 mm/sec were acquired in the process of welding Al 5083 through an auto carriage type of $CO_2$ welding feeder. As to tensile characteristics of Al 5083 welding through a MIG welding robot, most of tensile specimens showed the fracture behavior on HAZ(heat affected zone) located at the area joined with weld metal, except for some cases. Especially, for the case of the Al specimen with 5 mm thickness, 284.62 MPa of tensile strength and 11.41 % of elongation were obtained as an actual allowable tensile stress-strain value. Mostly, after acquiring the optimum welding condition, the relevant welding data and technical requirements might be provided for actual welding operation site and welding procedure specification (WPS).

This paper proposes the 80-kW high-efficiency bidirectional hybrid SiC boost/buck converter using droop control for DC nano-grid. The proposed converter consists of four 20-kW modules to achieve fault tolerance, ease of thermal management, and reduced component stress. Each module is constructed as a cascaded structure of the two basic bi-directional converters, namely, interleaved boost and buck converters. A six-pack hybrid SiC intelligent power module (IPM) suitable for the proposed cascaded structure is adopted for high-efficiency and compactness. The proposed converter with hybrid switching method reduces the switching loss by minimizing switching of insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). Each module control achieves smooth transfer from buck to boost operation and vice versa, since current controller switchover is not necessary. Furthermore, the proposed parallel control using DC droop with secondary control, enhances the current sharing accuracy while well regulating the DC bus voltage. A 20-kW prototype of the proposed converter has been developed and verified with experiments and indicates a 99.3% maximum efficiency and 98.8% rated efficiency.

전자제품의 성능이 향상됨에 따라서 전자제품에 사용되는 부품의 고집적화가 필연적으로 요구되고 있으며, 고집적화 된 전자제품의 방열(heat dissipation)에 관한 문제점이 대두되고 있다. 방열은 전자기기의 성능과 수명을 유지하는데 있어서 중요한 문제 중 하나로서 방열 효과를 높이기 위해 다양한 연구 개발이 진행 중이다. 방열에 사용되는 소재로는 Cu가 있으며, 저렴한 가격과 상대적으로 높은 방열 효율을 가지는 장점이 있다. Cu는 전기 도금 증착 방법을 사용하여왔으나, 전기도금 방식으로 증착된 Cu 방열판은 제품에 열이 축적될 경우 Cu와 substrate 사이의 residual stress로 인해 박리나 뒤틀림 현상 등이 발생하여 high power를 사용하는 device의 방열 소재로 사용하기에는 개선해야 할 문제점이 있다. 이러한 문제점을 극복하기 위한 방법으로 magnetron sputter 증착 방법이 있으며, magnetron sputter은 대면적화가 용이하고, 다양한 물질의 증착이 가능한 장점으로 인해 hard coating 또는 thin film 증착과 같은 공정에 사용되고 있다. 특히 증착된 film의 특성을 조절하기 위해서 magnetron sputter에 pulse 또는 ICP (inductively coupled plasma) assisted 등을 적용하여 plasma 특성을 조절하는 방법 등에 관한 연구가 보고되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 pulsed magnetron sputtering 방식을 이용하여 증착된 Cu film 특성 변화를 확인하였다. 다양한 pulsing frequency와 pulsing duty ratio 조건에서, Si substrate 위에 증착된 Cu film과의 residual stress 변화를 측정하였다. Pulse duty ratio가 90% 에서 60%로 감소함에 따라서 Cu film의 residual stress가 감소하였고, pulsing frequency가 증가함에 따라 Cu film의 residual stress가 감소하는 것을 확인하였다. 증착 조건에 따른 plasma의 특성 분석을 위하여 oscilloscope를 이용하여 voltage와 current를 측정하였고, Plasma Sampling Mass spectrometer 를 이용하여 ion energy의 변화를 측정하였다. 이를 통해 plasma 특성 변화가 증착된 Cu film에 미치는 영향과 residual stress의 변화에 대한 연관성에 대하여 확인할 수 있었다.

본 논문은 곡면형 압전 복합재료 작동기 LIPCA의 개발 및 성능 실험에 관한 것이다. LIPCA는 압전 세라믹을 중심으로 상층부는 탄성계수가 크면서 열팽창계수가 낮은 섬유강화 복합재료층이 위치하며, 하층부는 탄성계수가 작으면서 열팽창계수가 큰 섬유강화 복합재료층이 위치한다. 작동기의 성능 검증을 위해 작동지그 및 전압 공급 장치 그리고 비접촉 레이저 센서로 이루어진 실험 시스템을 구성하였다. 성능 실험은 양단 단순지지상태에서 압전 재료의 전극에 $100\sim400V_{pp}$의 교류 전압을 1Hz로 가하였을 경우 작동기 중앙부에서 발생하는 수직방향의 변위를 측정하는 것으로 수행하였다. LIPCA와 THUNDER의 성능 검증 결과 LIPCA-C2는 THUNDER에 비해 34% 경량화 되었으며, 작동변위는 13% 향상되었다.
