Conventional electromagnetic (EM) method using small loops as a source and receiver has been used in detection of conductive buried objects like a metal detector or in qualitative estimation of the subsurface conductivity variation. Recently, however, since detection of buried objects and imaging of the subsurface conductivity distribution in a relatively conductive area are in a high demand for environmental and engineering purposes, the quantitative interpretation technique of EM data is actively studied. In this regard, we introduce a brief principle of EM survey and show an example of the detection of buried conductive material and imaging of the subsurface conductivity distribution based on data measured at a test survey area. Through this study, we show that multi-frequency EM surveys using small loops may be a good solution to give quick and detail information of subsurface in a conductive survey area.

For the preparation of pH-selectrode, tribenzylamine, polyvinylchloride, dioctylphthalate, sodium tetraphenylborate and tetrahydrofuran were mixed with 0.02, 0.62, 1.34, 0.02g and 10ml respectively, and added 1g of acetylene black, graphite, silicon carbide or tungsten carbide respectively to improve electric conductivity. The selectrodes of seven kinds were shown linear to hydrogen ion in the range of pH 2 and 9. The best electric conductor for preparation of pH-selectrode based on tribenzylamine as neutral carrier was acetylene black and responded potential of the selectrode to hydrogen ion was shown the values near to theoretical Nernstian slope at $20^{\circ}C$. The interfering effects of the selectrode on hydrogen ion in the presence of alkali and alkaline earth metal ions were shown the better results with less error than glass electrode. The reproducibility and stability were good for use as a selectrode, especially in the presence of fluoride ion.

Ion exchange metal composite(IPMC) has toughness equivalent to the range of human's muscle, transformation-actuation force by relatively low voltage and the fast response time. Thus, as a new method for preparing thicker IPMC, the solution casting method to make the films of various thicknesses out of liquid nation was attempted in this study. To reduce the surface resistance of electrode, the first plated electrode prepared by Oguro method was replated with Au and Ir using ion beam assisted deposition(IBAD). The microstructures of electrode surfaces before and after IBAD plating were investigated using SEM. The change of water and ion-conductivity in IPMC were measured under applied voltage. The displacement and driving force of IPMCs with various thicknesses were measured to evaluate the driving properties.

단일벽 탄소나노튜브(Single-walled nanotubes, SWNTs)는 나노스케일의 크기와 우수한 물성으로 인하여, 전자, 에너지, 바이오 분야로의 응용이 기대되고 있다. 특히 SWNTs의 직경을 제어하게 되면 튜브의 전도성 제어가 훨씬 수월하게 되어, 차세대 나노전자소자의 실현을 앞당길 수 있으며 이러한 이유로 많은 연구들이 현재 행해지고 있다. SWNTs의 직경제어 합성을 위해서는 현재 열화학기상증착법(Thermal chemical vapor deposition; TCVD)이 가장 일반적으로 이용되고 있으며, 합성 촉매와 합성되는 튜브의 직경과의 크기 연관성이 알려진 후로는, 촉매의 크기를 제어하여 SWNTs의 직경을 제어하고자 하는 연구들이 활발하게 보고되고 있다. 특히, 촉매 나노입자의 직경이 1~2 nm 이하로 감소될 경우, SWNTs의 직경 분포가 어떻게 변화할 것인지가 최근 가장 중요한 관심사로 남아 있으나, 이러한 크기의 금속입자는 나노입자의 융점저하 현상이 발현되는 영역이므로, SWNTs의 합성온도 영역에서 촉매 금속입자는 반액체(Semi-liquid) 상태로 존재할 것으로 추측하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 고온의 SWNTs 합성환경에서 금속나노촉매의 유동성을 제한하기 위하여 나노사이즈의 기공이 규칙적으로 정렬된 다공성 물질인 제올라이트를 촉매담지체로 이용하였고, 이 때 다양한 합성변수가 SWNTs의 직경에 미치는 영향을 살펴보고자 하였다. SWNTs의 합성을 위해 실리콘 산화막 기판 위에 제올라이트를 도포한 후, 합성 촉매로서 전자빔증발법을 통하여 수 ${\AA}$에서 수 nm 두께의 철 박막을 증착하였다. 합성은 메탄을 원료가스로 하여 TCVD법으로 실시하였다. 주요변수로는 제올라이트 종류, 증착하는 철 박막의 두께, 합성온도를 설정하였으며, 이에 따라 합성된 SWNTs의 합성수율 및 직경분포의 변화를 체계적으로 살펴보았다. SWNTs의 전체적인 합성수율의 변화는 SEM 관찰결과를 이용하였으며, SWNTs의 직경은 AFM 관찰 및 Raman 스펙트럼의 분석에서 도출하였다. 실험결과, 제올라이트 종류에 따라서는 명확한 튜브직경 분포의 변화 없이 비교적 좁은 직경분포를 갖는 SWNTs가 합성되었으며, 합성온도가 $850^{\circ}C$ 이하로 감소되면 합성수율이 현저히 감소되는 것을 알 수 있었다. 촉매박막의 두께가 1 nm 이상인 경우에서는 직경 5 nm 전후의 나노입자가 형성되었으며, 이때 SWNTs의 합성수율은 높았으나 다양한 직경의 튜브가 합성이 된 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 반면, 촉매입자의 크기가 2 nm 이하에서는 합성수율은 다소 저하되었으나, SWNTs의 직경분포의 폭이 상대적으로 훨씬 좁아지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 추후, 극미세 촉매와 저온합성 환경에서의 합성수율 향상을 위한 합성공정의 개량이 지속적으로 요구된다.

The simple solid electrolyte carbon dioxide sensor with heaters were fabricated by using Li ionic conductor. Two Au electrodes were used for the reference and sensing electrode respectively. Two types of gas sensors, type ( I ) and type (II), were fabricated. Type ( I ) sensor was fabricated by the method of melting and crystallizing alkali metal carbonate at the temperature of $420{\sim}500^{\circ}C$. The sensing membrane of type (II) sensor was formed by the printing method on sensing electrode after metal carbonate was mixed with binder. The response characteristics of sensors fabricated for the carbon dioxide were investigated for a range of $CO_{2}$ concentration from 950 ppm to 9,950 ppm at operating temperature $420^{\circ}C$. Type ( I ) sensor and type (II) sensor showed the sensitivity of 62 mV/decade and 65 mV/decade respectively. The emf/decade of type (II) sensor tested at $420^{\circ}C$ almost followed the theoretical value of Nernst's equation and showed stable response characteristics with the fast response time of $15{\sim}20$ sec. Also type (II) sensor showed excellent stability and reproduction properties for 60 days.

In this paper, magnetic FeCoNi particles have been grown through electroless plating on the surface of graphene, and then this hybrid material has been dispersed by various surfactants to prepare films. The pyridine surfactant shows the highest dispersability and low surface resistance value (351 Ohm/sq) and the electromagnetic shielding ability at the frequency of 10 GHz. Specially, the evaporation of the pyridine during the drying process could be able to form the internal conductive network and high dispersion of FeCoNi on the surface of graphene.

Polymer electrolyte films consisting of poly(vinylidenefluoride-hexafluoropropylene) (PVdF-HFP), LiClO$_3$ and a mixture of ethylene carbonate (EC) and ${\gamma}$-butyrolactone (GBL) were examined in order to obtain the best compromise between high ionic conductivity, homogeniety, dimensional and electrochemical stability. Measurements of ionic conductivity, differential scanning calorimetry and linear sweep voltammetry have been carried out for various compositions. The highest conductivity of 3.8$\times$10$^{-3}$ S$cm^{-1}$ / at 3$0^{\circ}C$ were obtained for a film of 30(PVdF-HFP)+7.8LiClO$_4$+62.2EC/GBL. From the DSC study, it has been found that the PVdF-HFP gels are stable up to 10$0^{\circ}C$, and the salt lowers the melting temperature of crystalline part of PVdF by interacting sensitively with polymer segments. When Lithium metal is in contact with the gel films, it tends to undergo corrosion and the reaction products accumulate resulting in the formation of a passive film on Li electrode. As the aging time progresses, the interfacial resistance increases continuously. Anodic stability is measured to extend up to about 4.5 V vs. Li.

Pure-carbon materials such as graphite, graphene, carbon nanotubes, and diamond have very high thermal conductivities. The reported thermal conductivity of graphene is in the range 3000~5000W/m-K at room temperature. Here, we developed graphene/cu foam hybrid type heat spreader to obtain higher thermal conductivity than Cu foam. Hybrid materials were characterized using optical microscopy (OM), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and thermal conductivity measurement system; LFA (Laser Flash Analysis @ LFA 447, NETZSCH). We suggest that excellent thermal properties of graphene/cu foam hybrid structures are beneficial for all proposed electrical applications and can lead to a thermal management application.
