Recently, wearable sensors have received considerable attention in a variety of research fields and industries as the importance of wearable healthcare systems, soft robotics and bio-integrated devices increased. However, expensive and complex processes are hindering the commercialization of wearable sensors. Nanoparticle presents some of solutions to these problems as its adjustable for processability and tunable properties. In this paper, the recent development of nanoparticle based pressure and strain sensors was reviewed, and a discussion on their strategies to overcome the conventional limitation and operating principles is presented.

Conventional force sensors such as piezoelectric sensor has limitations for measuring micro/nano-scale thrust. In this study we developed nano-scale measurement system using laser displacement sensor and cantilever. And electrospray microthruster was fabricated by using stainless capillary and extraction electrode, to generate nano-scale thrust. The measurement system can measure the around 90 nN thrust from this thruster. In addition, we designed and fabricated electrospray micro thruster based on PMMA(Polymethyl methacrylate), which has a nozzle protruded from the substrate.

This paper presents the development of a disposable label-free biosensor for bio molecular interaction analysis. Label-free biosensors have advantages of high performance in sensitivity and short detection time. Among various label-free systems, we introduced biosensor with nano grating structures based on white light source and spectrometer. And to develop high efficiency label-free biosensor, we suggest replicating processes satisfying required specification. We also report a system set-up to evaluate the characteristics of phenomenon shown in this biosensor system.

We fabricated gas sensors using carbon nanotubes (CNTs) as electron emitters for the purpose of detecting inert gases. By using the silicon-glass anodic bonding and glass patterning technologies with the typical Si process, we improved the compactness of the sensors and the reliability in process. The proposed sensor, based on, an electrical discharge theory known as Paschen's law in principle, works by figuring the variation of the discharge current depending on gas concentration. In the experiment, the initial breakdown characteristics were measured for air and Ar as a function of gas pressure. As the result, even though it should be realized that there are many other factors which have an effect on the breakdown of a gap, the sensors led to similar result as predicted by Paschen's law, and they showed a possibility as gas sensors which enable to detect the gas density ranged to the vacuum pressure from 1 to $10^{-3}$ Torr.

For machining systems like the motor driven linear stage which have high precision positioning with a long stroke, it is necessary to examine the repeatability of the reference position decision. Though piezo (PZT) actuator driven linear stages have high precision feed drivers and a short stroke, they have some limitations for reference position decisions if they have not been equipped with an accurate home sensor. This study was performed to examine the repeatability for home position decision of a EE-SX671 photo sensor as a home switch by using piezo actuator driven linear stages and capacitance probe.

We suggest a CNT-based gas sensor for breath alcohol measurement. The sensor was composed of single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) thin film on flexible PES (polyethersulfone) substrate, and the SWCNTs thin film was formed by multiple spray-coating with SWCNTs solution which was well-dispersed, highly controlled and functionalized in ethanol solvent. In this work, three types of SWCNTs thin films were deposited with changes in the number of spray-coatings to 20, 40 and 60 times in order to compare electrical response properties of the SWCNTs thin films. from the fabricated sensors, conductance and capacitance responses were measured and discussed. Alcohol gas sensors have been commercialized widely as gauge for breath alcohol measurement which is applicable to checking whether car drivers are drinking-driving or not. Our alcohol gas sensors showed good sensitivity and linearity even at room temperature.

In order to investigate the effect of NiO on the ethanol gas sensing performance of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles, NiO and ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ nanoparticles are synthesized by hydrothermal method. The sensor with ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ and NiO nanoparticles mixed at an optimum ratio of 7:3 showed 3.8 times improved sensing performance for 200ppm ethanol gas at $200^{\circ}C$. The enhanced gas sensing performance can be considered to be caused by pn heterojunction at the grain boundaries of ${\alpha}-Fe_2O_3$ and NiO nanopartcles.

나노 기술의 개발과 마이크로어레이(microarray)의 등장으로 생물학자동을 한번에 보다 라르고 신속하게, 대량의 실험을 처리할 수 있게 되었다. 이와 발 맞추어 마이크로어레이를 이용한 다양한 실험 방법들이 개발되었다. 형광 염료(fluorescence dye)를 이 용한 관찰 방법 이 널리 이용되고 있으나, 관찰되는 형광 염료의 밝기가 실험 환경(pH, 온도)에 매우 민감하게 반응하며, 단백질을 포함한 많은 분자 물질들이 형광을 내지 않기 때문에 마이크로어레이를 이용한 분석 대상 물질들의 개수가 제한을 받는다. 본 논문에서는 직접적인 형광 염료의 사용 없이, SPR(Surface Plasmon Resonance)을 이용한 마이크로어레이 분석 시스템에서 스팟(spot)의 밝기(intensity)를 측정하기 위한 효율적인 전처리 과정을 제안하고자 한다. 전처리 과정은 크게 프로젝티브 왜곡 효과 제거, 스팟의 위치 추적, 스팟의 영역 추출, 정규화 된 스팟의 밝기 측정으로 나누어진다. 특히, 이러한 과정을 거쳐서 측정된 밝기는 반응 유무의 관찰뿐만이 아니라, 실험 물질의 양적인 측정에도 이용되기 때문에 정확한 스팟의 밝기 측정에 중점을 두고자 한다.

This paper introduces a new structural health monitoring using a nano sensor. The sensor is made of nano smart composite material based on carbon nanotubes. The nano sensor is fabricated as a thin and narrow polymer film sensor that is bonded or deposited onto a structure. The electrochemical impedance and dynamic strain response of the neuron change due to deterioration of the structure where the sensor is located. A network of the long nano sensorcan form a structural neural system to provide large area coverage and an assurance of the operational health of a structure without the need for actuators and complex wave propagation analyses that are used with other methods.
