구조색에 기반을 둔 반사형 디스플레이는 낮은 전력 소모와 쉬운 제조 과정뿐만 아니라 후광 없이 작동이 가능한 장점으로 인해 최근 많은 주목을 받고 있다. 하지만 기술적으로 다양한 색체 구현이 어려워 현재까지는 많이 응용되고 있지는 않다. 이에 본 연구에서 우리는 바이러스(M13-박테리오파지)를 기반으로 한 신개념 컬러 디스플레이를 개발하고자 한다. 우리가 개발하고자 하는 컬러디스플레이는 자가 조립방법으로 만들어진 나노 구조체로 형성되어 있으며, 간단한 실험 조건 조절을 통해 다양한 색깔 구현을 할 수 있다. 특히, MEMS 공정으로 자체 제작한 Micro Heater의 온도 조절을 통해 자가 조립된 나노 구조체의 간격 주기를 조절 하면, 기존에 형성된 색을 원하는대로 자유롭게 바꿀 수 있다. 우리가 개발하고자하는 생체 재료 기반 컬러 소자는 차세대 디스플레이의 또 다른 새로운 시도가 되리라 생각한다.

Mucoadhesive property is the major function as an adhesive for medical devices, and therefore, these days many researches have conducted to develop polymers having this property. Recently, biomimetic technology has been used for developing mucoadhesive polymers. Among many technologies, mussel-inspired approaches have received noticeable attention because of its thread's strong adhesive characteristics. In this study, we synthesized mucoadhesive biomimetic polymers employing catechol structures which are abundant in mussel adhesive proteins, and their structures and molecular weights were characterized by using nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy and gel permeation chromatography. To evaluate in vitro mucoadhesive strength, the sheet type of the small intestinal porcine submucosa was prepared. Compared to commercial fibrin glue adhesives, catechol-containing mucoadhesive polymers showed enhanced adhesive strength. The study of adhesive strength with considering diverse factors, such as temperature, pressure, and oxidant amount indicated that mussel-inspired mucoadhesive polymer could be a promising candidate for an adhesive in various biomedical applications.

Demand for small biomimetic robots that can carry out reconnaissance missions without being exposed to the enemy in underground spaces and narrow passages is increasing in order to increase the fighting power and survivability of soldiers in wartime situations. A small compound eye image sensor for environmental recognition has advantages such as small size, low aberration, wide angle of view, depth estimation, and HDR that can be used in various ways in the field of vision. However, due to the small lens size, the resolution is low, and the problem of resolution in the fused image obtained from the actual compound eye image occurs. This paper proposes a compound eye image quality enhancement algorithm based on Image Enhancement and ESRGAN to overcome the problem of low resolution. If the proposed algorithm is applied to compound eye image fusion images, image resolution and image quality can be improved, so it is expected that performance improvement results can be obtained in various studies using compound eye cameras.

최근 펩티드를 포함한 다양한 물질들의 자기조립 (self-assembly) 나노구조체에 대한 연구들이 많이 진행되고 있다. 이는 이러한 분자들로 구성된 구조체들이 환경친화적이며, 생체 나노구조체를 묘사함을 통해 세포소기관의 기능 역시 모방할 수 있다고 기대되기 때문이다. 만약 분자 수준에서 자기조립을 형성하는 단위체를 살펴본다면 자기조립 나노 구조를 개발하는 방법에 대한 통찰을 얻을 수 있을 것이다. 본 연구에서는 최근에 Wen Li 그룹에서 개발한 쉽게 합성할 수 있는 자기조립 펩티드의 적합성을 분자 수준에서 규명하였다. 이를 위해 복제계-맞바꿈 분자 동역학 시뮬레이션 (replica exchange molecular dynamics simulation)을 통해 구조를 샘플링 (sampling)하였고, 얻어진 구조들을 평균 제곱근 편차 (root mean square deviation, RMSD)를 기준으로 클러스터링하였다. 그 결과로 매우 우세한 상대빈도를 보이는 하나의 구조를 얻었으며, 그 구조가 탄소 골격과 잔기의 배열의 측면에서 자기조립 펩티드로 사용되기에 적합함을 규명하였다.

발광다이오드, 태양전지, 광센서, 바이오센서, 나노발전기 등을 포함한 여러 종류의 광전자 소자들의 성능을 향상시키기 위한 새로운 기술적 시도들이 제안되어 왔다. 반도체기반 나노구조는 넓은 표면적과 독특한 특성을 가지고 다양한 기능성의 부여가 용이하며, 주로 나노패턴형성 및 식각에 의한 top-down 방법과 성장/합성에 의한 bottom-up 방법들에 의해 제작되어 왔다. 최근, 단순성, 저비용 공정을 바탕으로 소자 표면상에 나노구조를 형성하여 성능을 개선하기 위한 연구가 활발히 이루어지고 있다. 또한 다층박막을 통한 무반사 코팅을 대체할 수 있는 moth-eye 효과를 이용한 생체모방형 서브파장 무반사 나노구조에 대한 관심이 증가하고 있다. 본 발표에서는 실리콘, 화합물, 산화물을 포함한 반도체 나노구조들의 설계 및 제작을 통해 구조적, 광학적 특성을 측정, 분석하고 이들의 다양한 광전자소자 응용에 대한 연구결과를 발표하고자 한다.

Recently, the development of bio-mimetic underwater vehicles that can emulate the characteristic movements of marine fish and mammals has attracted considerable attention. In this study, the motion of the batoid (i.e., cownose ray) fin that facilitates excellent cruising and maneuvering during underwater movement has been studied. The velocity achieved and distance covered with each fin movement are numerically studied. A fluid-structure interaction method is used to perform 3D time-dependent numerical analysis, wherein an adaptive mesh is employed to account for the large deformation of a fin interacting with a fluid. The results of a preliminary study show that the thrust of a ray fin is highly dependent on the frequency. Further, once the fin amplitude required for generating a given thrust is evaluated for the conditions experienced by an actual ray, the frequency and amplitude values for achieving better thrust are determined.

In this study, the flexural performance of Highly Ductile Cement Composites(HDCC) mimicking boundary conditions of shellfish skin layer was evaluated. To improve ductility by mimicking the boundary skin layer structure of shellfish, the method of stratification by charging between precast panels using HDCC and the method of distributing PE-mesh to the interface surface were applied. Evaluation of flexural performance of layered cement composite materials mimicking boundary conditions of shellfish skin layer resulted in increased ductility of all test specimens applied with stratified cross-section compared to typical bending test specimens. The layered method by inserting PE-mesh showed excellent ductility. This is most likely because the inserted PE-mesh made an interface for separating the layers while the HDCC pillars in the PE-mesh gave adhesion between layers.

Various species of insects display vivid colors, widely known as 'structural color' due to their optical interference. Morpho butterflies are famous for their brilliant iridescent colors, which arise from the photonic-nanostructures of optical interference on their wings. In this paper, we outline the results of a comparative study of the optical properties of bio-inspired Morpho butterfly structures with the widely known Distributed Bragg Reflector (DBR), conducted using a rigorous coupled-wave analysis (RCWA) method for the two structures. Almost analogous tendencies were observed for both Morpho and DBR structures. With variation in the surrounding media, however, Morpho structures showed an obvious peak shift while no significant changes were observed in DBR, which can be applicable.

High adhesion and water resistance of the skin surface are required for wearable and skin-attachable electronic patches in various medical applications. In this study, we report a stretchable electronic patch that mimics the drainable structure pattern of the hexagonal channels of frog's pads and the sucker of an octopus based on carbon-based conductive polymer composite materials. The hexagonal channel structure that mimics the pads of frogs drains water and improves adhesion through crack arresting effect, and the suction structure that mimics an octopus sucker shows high adhesion on wet surfaces. In addition, the high-adhesive electronic patch has excellent adhesion to various surfaces such as silicone wafer (max. 4.06 N/cm²) and skin replica surface (max. 1.84 N/cm²) in dry and wet conditions. The high skin-adhesive electronic patch made of a polymer composite material based on a polymer matrix and carbon particles can reliably detect electrocardiogram (ECG) in dry and humid environments. The proposed electronic patch presents potential applications for wearable and skin-attachable electronic devices for detecting various biosignals.

Recently, researches on resource allocation algorithms operating in a distributed way are widely conducted because of the increasing number of network nodes and the rapidly changing the network environment. In this paper, we propose Multi-Hop DESYNC(MH DESYNC), that is bio-inspired TDMA-based resource allocation scheme operating in a distributed manner in multi-hop networks. In this paper, we define a frame structure for the proposed MH DESYNC algorithm and firing message structure which is a reference for resource allocation and propose the related operating procedures. We show that MH DSYNC can resolve the hidden-node problem effectively and verify that each node shares resources fairly among its neighboring nodes. Through simulation evaluations, it is shown that MH DESYNC algorithm works well in a multi-hop networks. Furthermore, results show that MH DESYNC algorithm achieves better performance than CSMA/CA algorithm in terms of throughput.
