Graphene, with its exceptional mechanical and electrical properties, has gained significant attention from researchers due to its superior characteristics compared to conventional materials. However, the application of graphene in electronic devices requires a crucial transcription and patterning process, which often introduces numerous defects, substantially impairing its properties. To overcome this limitation and unlock the full potential of graphene for commercial use, there have been various efforts to develop integrated processes for transcription and patterning. In this study, we present a novel growth method that simultaneously achieves precise patterning using polymer nanowires as masks, allowing for the direct growth of graphene. This innovative approach holds promise for realizing advanced electronic components based on nanomaterials in the future.

In this work, the effect of surface treatment on mesoporous carbons (MCs) supports was investigated by analyzing surface functional groups. MCs were prepared by a conventional templating method using mesoporous silica (SBA-15) for using catalyst supports in direct methanol fuel cells (DMFCs). The MCs were treated with different phosphoric acid ($H_3PO_4$) concentrations i.e., 0, 1, 3, 4, and 5 M at 343 K for 6 h. And then Pt-Ru was deposited onto surface treated MCs (H-MCs) by chemical reduction method. The characteristics of Pt-Ru catalysts deposited onto H-MCs were determined by specific surface area and pore size analyzer, X-ray diffraction, X-ray photoelectron, transmission electron microscopy, and inductive coupled plasma-mass spectrometer. The electrochemical properties of Pt-Ru/H-MCs catalysts were also analyzed by cyclic voltammetry experiments. From the results of surface analysis, an oxygen functional group was introduced to the surface of carbon supports. From the results, the H4M-MCs carbon supports surface treated with 4 M $H_3PO_4$ led to uniform dispersion of Pt-Ru onto H4M-MCs, resulting in enhancing the electro-catalytic activity of Pt-Ru catalysts.

This study was investigated the thermal properties of underfill with various epoxy resins using thermal analysis methods such as differential scanning calorimetry (DSC), thermo gravimetry analysis (TGA), dynamic mechanical analysis (DMA) and thermo-mechanical analysis (TMA). And, the adhesion strength of the underfills/FR-4 substrate was evaluated. The glass transition temperature (Tg) of underfill which was composed the cycolaliphatic epoxy resin was lower than that of underfill which was not composed the cycolaliphatic epoxy resin. The thermal degradation of underfill was composed of two processes, which involved chemical reactions between the degrading polymer and oxygen from the air atmosphere. The coefficient of thermal expansion (CTE) of underfill which was composed the cycolaliphatic epoxy resin was higher than that of underfill which was not composed the cycolaliphatic epoxy resin. The excessive curing temperatures caused a weak boundary layer of epoxy resin, which resulted in a deterioration of mechanical properties in the epoxy resin and thus led to poor adhesion property between the underfill/FR-4 substrate.

Graphene has recently received high attention as a promising material for various applications, and many related studies have been undertaken to reveal its basic mechanical properties. However, the tribological properties of graphene film fabricated by the chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method are barely known. In this study, the contact angle and frictional wear characteristics of graphene coated copper film were investigated under room temperature, normal air pressure, and no lubrication condition. The contact angle was measured by sessile drop method and the wear test was carried out under normal loads of 660 mN and 2940 mN, respectively. The tribological behaviors of a graphene coating layer were also examined. Compared to heat treated bare copper foil, the graphene coated one shows a higher contact angle and lower friction coefficient.

We study the structural and functional characteristics of zinc oxide (ZnO) nanostructures that are grown on carbon nanotube (CNT) constructs via step-wise chemical vapor deposition (CVD). First, we optimize the CVD process to directly grow ZnO nanostructures on CNTs by controlling the growth temperature below $600^{\circ}C$, where CNTs can be sustained in a ZnO-growing oxidative atmosphere. We then investigate how the morphology and areal density of ZnO nanostructures evolve depending on process parameters, such as pressure, temperature, and gas feeding composition, while focusing on the effect of underlying CNT topology on ZnO nucleation and growth. Because various types of ZnO nanostructures, including nanowires, nanorods, nanoplates, and polycrystalline nanocrystals, can be conformally formed on highly conductive CNT platforms, this electrically addressable three-dimensional hybrid nanoarchitecture may better meet a wide range of nanoelectronic application-specific needs.

High pressure turbine blades are one of the key components in fossil power plants operated at high temperature. The blade is usually made of 12Cr steel and its operating temperature is above $500^{\circ}C$. Long term service at this temperature causes material degradation accompanied by changes in microstructures and mechanical properties such as strength and toughness. Quantitative assessment of reduction of strength and toughness due to high temperature material degradation is required for residual life assessment of the blade components. Nondestructive technique is preferred. So far most of the research of this kind was conducted with low alloy steels such as carbon steel, 1.25Cr0.5Mo steel or 2.25Cr1Mo steel. High alloy steel was not investigated. In this study one of the high Cr steel, 12Cr steel, was selected for high temperature material degradation. Electrochemical polarization method was employed to measure degradation. Strength reduction of the 12Cr steel was represented by hardness and toughness reduction was represented by change of transition temperature, FATT. Empirical relationships between the electrochemical polarization parameter and significance of material degradation were established. These relationship can be used for assessing the strength and toughness on the aged high pressure blade components indirectly by using the electrochemical method.

절연재료의 성능 개선과 전력계통의 신뢰성을 확보하기 위해 고분자 재료가 많이 사용되고 있다. 고분자 절연재료는 절연저항 및 절연파괴 강도가 우수하며, 유전손실이 낮고 기계적 강도가 우수하며 대량생산 및 제조가 용이하고, 경량이며 유지비용이 절감되는 등의 장점이 있으나 연구의 역사가 짧고 운전 실적이 적어 불분명한 점이 많으며, 내열성 및 내트랙킹성이 비교적 약하며 표면에 오손이 축적되어 열화가 발생, 진행되거나 수분침투에 의한 파괴사고가 발생하는 단점이 있다. 따라서, 고분자 절연재료의 기본적인 화학적 구조 및 인공적 인 오손 환경을 만들어, 오손 환경의 농도 및 시간대별로 오손환경하에서 우수한 특성을 보이는 샘플을 이용하여 LDPE전체에 대한 실험을 진행했다. 또한 측정법으로서는 화학적인 구조 및 함량을 측정하기 위하여 FT-lR, DSC, TGA를 이용했고, 전기적인 측정으로서는 각각의 조건별로 전도도 및 부분방전특성을 평가하였다.

유리 소재는 뛰어난 기계적, 화학적, 광학 특성으로 인해 다양한 영역에서 광범위하게 활용되어 왔으며, 최근에는 특정 물성이 강화된 기능성 유리 수요가 다양한 산업 영역에서 급속히 증가하고 있다. 유리 소재 분야에서의 연구 개발은 유리 특유의 비정질 구조 및 다원소 조성 특성에 의한 복합성 때문에 전통적으로 경험에 기반한 실험 기법에 의존하여 왔다. 그러나 적용 분야에 따른 맞춤형 물성 강화에 대한 필요성이 증대됨에 따라, 핵심 물성 발현 원리 등을 원자 단위에서 이해하고 이를 바탕으로 기능성 유리 소재를 설계하는 접근법이 주목받고 있다. 원자단위 시뮬레이션 및 이론 기반 모델링은 유리 소재의 다양한 물성과 조성 변화에 따른 원자 구조의 상관관계를 매우 효율적으로 분석할 수 있는 기법이다. 본 기고문 에서는 밀도범함수이론, 분자동역학 및 위상속박이론을 활용한 기능성 유리 소재 개발 및 연구 동향에 대해서 소개하고자 한다.
