마이크로 플루이딕 디바이스는 화학, 생물학 실험 및 생체 의학 진단을 위한 플랫폼으로 지난 20년간 그 사용 및 연구가 증가되어 왔다. 마이크로 플루이딕 디바이스를 제작하는 데 있어 가장 일반적으로 사용되는 재료는 실리콘이지만 비용이 많이 들고 불투명하므로 광학 검출이 필요한 곳에 적용이 제한된다. 이러한 측면에서 열가소성 플라스틱은 상업화의 중요한 요소인 대량 생산에 있어 큰 잠재력을 가지고 있으며 저렴하고, 가공이 쉽고, 유연하고, 광학적으로 투명하고, 화학적으로 불활성이며, 생체적합성을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 열가소성 플라스틱의 일종인 PMMA Poly(methylmethacrylate)를 효율적으로 접합하기 위해 비교적 낮은 온도와 낮은 압력에서 에탄올을 활용한 접착방식을 개발하였다. 먼저, PMMA 기판의 전체 표면을 $80^{\circ}C$에서 20 분 동안 에탄올로 처리한 후, $60^{\circ}C$에서 20 분간 열 압착하는 방식으로 영구적인 결합이 이루어졌다. 결합 강도 및 채널의 sealing 정도를 확인하기 위해, 인장 강도, 누수 및 파열 테스트를 수행하였다. 결합강도는 약 12.4 MPa로 타 연구와 비교할 때 매우 높았으며 마이크로 채널의 전체 내부 체적보다 거의 450 배 높은 강한 액체 흐름을 견딜 정도로 견고한 결합이 유지되었다. 열가소성 플라스틱의 본딩에 사용되는 유기 용매는 광학 특성을 희생시키지 않으면서 결합 속도를 높일 수 있지만, 결합 공정 중에 용매로 인해 마이크로 채널이 막히는 현상이 발생될 수 있다. 따라서, 견고한 본딩을 유지하면서 채널 막힘을 방지하기 위해 마이크로 채널을 소수성으로 선택적으로 처리하여 내벽의 표면 특성을 튜닝해 주는 기법을 추가로 적용하였다. 본 연구에서 사용한 방법은 아민-PDMS (polydimethylsiloxane) 링커를 적용하여 기판 표면의 극성을 변경시켜 주었다. 아민-PDMS 링커는 PC (polycarbonate), PET (polyethylene terephthalate), PVC (polyvinyl chloride) 및 PI (polyimide)와 같은 다양한 열가소성 플라스틱의 표면 소수성을 현저히 증가시키며 화학적, 열적 안정성이 뛰어나다. 아민-PDMS 링커는 PMMA의 카보닐 그룹과 반응할 수 있는 아민 사이드 그룹을 포함하는 PDMS 백본으로 구성되며 처리된 대상표면을 소수성으로 만든다. 아민-PDMS 링커 처리 이후 채널은 소수성으로 변화되었으며 이는 접촉각(contact angle)의 증가로 확인되었다. 코팅된 채널을 에탄올로 30분간 80도에서 처리하여도 소수성은 그대로 유지되어 마이크로 채널의 선택적인 소수성 코팅이 성공적으로 수행되었다.

A bendable electronic module is developed for a mobile application by using a low-cost roll-to-roll manufacturing process. In the module, a thin silicon chip is embedded in a polymer-based encapsulating adhesive between flexible copper clad polyimide layers. A set of tests are conducted for the purpose of qualification: thermal shock, high temperature storage, and autoclave tests. During the autoclave test, delamination occurs at many places within the module layers. To investigate the failure mechanism, moisture diffusion analysis is conducted for the interior of the module under the autoclave test condition. For the analysis, the hygroscopic characteristics of the encapsulating materials are experimentally determined. Analysis results indicate the moisture saturation process in the interior of the module under the autoclave test condition.

The physical properties of the epoxy resins were studied with an addition of filler content and the application of artificial weathering test. When talc as a filler was added to the epoxy resin (L-30), the water resistance seemed to be increased because of the results of the reducing of water absorption rate and the increasing of contact angle. Although the adhesive strength of epoxy resins was not affected by the increasing amount of talc, its compressive strength was reduced. The physical properties of the epoxy resins had different trends according to the site environments. The artificial weathering test with the change of temperature and humidity showed that the changes of water absorption rate and colour differences of the epoxy resins containing talc were lower than the pure epoxy resin itself. However, the contact angle was higher. The artificial weathering test with ultraviolet irradiations showed the opposite result; the damage of epoxy resins was increased with the increasing of talc content. These mean the site environment of the stone monuments should be considered to determine the content of talc added to increase the durability of epoxy resin.

A flexible electrochromic device (ECD) is a promising technology that is expected to be applied in various fields such as smart windows. Polymer electrolyte is an important component that determines the bleaching-coloration performance and physical stability of flexible ECDs. In this study, a pore-filled polymer electrolyte membrane (PFPEM) with excellent dimensional stability was developed to effectively fabricate flexible ECDs and improve durability. Polyvinyl acetate, which has excellent adhesion, and polyethylene glycol, which can improve ionic conductivity, were filled in the pores of a porous substrate made of polyethylene, which is inexpensive and has excellent physical and chemical stability. The optimal lithium salt (LiTFSI) content of the prepared PFPEM was determined at about 27 wt%, and it was confirmed to possess excellent dimensional stability, adhesive strength, and ion conductivity close to that of conventional polymer electrolytes. Although the visible light transmittance was lowered by the use of the porous substrate, it was expected to act as an advantage in the colored state.

Complex materials are widely used in aviation industries where lightweighting is essential because they have lighter properties than metals. However, composite materials can cause defects such as internal void formation, poor adhesive mixing, and non-adhesive parts during the production process, and there is a risk of micro-cracking and interlayer separation due to low energy impact. Therefore, a structural damage test is essential. As a result, structural integrity monitoring using FBG is drawing attention. Compared to conventional electrical sensors, FBG has the advantage of being more corrosion-resistant and multiplexed without being affected by electrical noise. However, interloggers measuring FBG are expensive and have a large disadvantage because they are made on the premise of measuring large structures. In this paper, low-cost interloggers were designed for use in unmanned or small aircraft using optical switche, WDM filter, and LTFs, and compared to conventional high-priced interrogator.

The tacit knowledge transfer cultivate the value and mount of tacit knowledge. The tacit knowledge transfer plays the most important role for improving the competitiveness of the organization. Despite the tacit knowledge transfer is very important, the research related with tacit knowledge transfer has not been actively carried out. The barriers to tacit knowledge transfer interfere with the tacit knowledge transfer. The barriers to tacit knowledge transfer are lack of understanding knowledge experts, heavy over-work, insufficient compensation, trust shortage and knowledge stickiness. In order to overcome the barrier of the tacit knowledge transfer, it is necessary to promote knowledge broker. The knowledge broker is the foundation for the tacit knowledge transfer and the critical success factor for efficient tacit knowledge transfer. However, most research related on the knowledge broker had focused on the degree, centrality and density of the knowledge network. The framework is needed to performance indicator for diagnosing the tacit knowledge transfer. Therefore, we suggest the knowledge broker framework based on the social network analysis.

This study was conducted to investigate the potential of chicken feather (CF), which is a by-product in poultry industry, as a raw material of wood adhesives. For the purpose, adhesive resins were formulated with NaOH- and $H_2SO_4$-hydrolyzed CF as well as crosslinkers, and then the properties and water resistance of the adhesive resins against hot water were measured. CF was made of mainly keratin-type protein, and no or very low content of heavy metals was detected. Hydrolysis rate of CF increased as NaOH concentration in hydrolysis solutions increased. However, in order to minimize the loss of adhesive property of protein itself by the severe hydrolysis of CF and to seek its proper hydrolysis conditions, NaOH concentrations in hydrolysis solution determined to adjust to 5%, 7.5% and 10%. In the NaOH-hydrolyzed CF, $H_2SO_4$-hydrolyzed CF as a hardener and crosslinker were added to formulate CF-based adhesive resins. Solid content of the resins ranged from 28.3% to 44.8% depending on hydrolysis conditions and type of crosslinker. Viscosity of the resins at $25^{\circ}C$ was very high. However, when the temperature of the resins was increased to $50^{\circ}C$, the viscosity decreased greatly and thus the resins could be applied as a sprayable resin. Retention rate measured to evaluate the water resistance of adhesive resins was the highest in the cured resin formulated with 5% NaOH-hydrolyzed CF and 5% $H_2SO_4$-hydrolyzed CF of 10% based on the solid weight as a hardener. Retention rate depending on crosslinkers added into adhesive resins was the highest phenol-formaldehyde (PF) followed by melamine-urea-formaldehyde (MUF) and formalin. The retention rate of CF-based adhesives formulated with 5% NaOH-hydrolyzed CF, PF and $H_2SO_4$-hydrolyzed CF of 10% and over did not differ statistically from that of commercial MUF resins. All of CF-based adhesives formulated with PF as a crosslinker and one with 5% NaOH-hydrolyzed CF of 55%, 5% $H_2SO_4$-hydrolyzed CF of 15%, and MUF of 30% on the basis of solid weight could be substituted for commercial urea-formaldehyde resins, From the results, CF can be used as a raw material of wood adhesives if hydrolyzed in proper conditions.

The interest to develop adhesives from renewable resources is growing to substitute petroleum-based adhesive resins in the manufacture of wood based panels. In our study, rapeseed flour (RSF), which is the by-product of bio-diesel produced from rapeseed, were hydrolyzed with acid and alkali. As a crosslinking agents of the RSF hydrolyzates, phenol-formaldehyde prepolymers (PF) were prepared. The RSF hydrolyzates and PF were mixed to complete the formulation of RSF-based adhesive resins, and the resins were applied to make the medium density fiberboard (MDF). The physical and mechanical properties of the MDF were measured to examine whether RSF can be used as raw materials of adhesive resins for the manufacture of MDF or not. The average moisture content and density of the MDF made with RSF-based adhesive resins satisfied the minimum requirement of KS standard, but the thickness swelling was not. The bending strengths of the MDF made with RSF-based adhesive resins were lower than that of the MDF made with commercial UF resins, but the internal bonding strengths of tested MDF in some make-up conditions of RSF-based adhesive resins were higher than that of MDF made with commercial UF resins. These results showed the potential of RSF as a raw material of adhesives for the production of MDF. Future works on the optimal manufacturing process conditions of MDF made with RSF-based adhesive resins are required to improve the performance of MDF made with RSF-based resins.
