Polymers, polymer compounds, are very moldable at low temperatures and have good strength against weight, and hence, are often used in the interior and exterior materials of cars. Owing to the increasing environmental problems, emission regulations have become stricter, which has increased the use of lightweight polymers as substitutes for metal materials. Therefore, as the use of polymer increases, extensive research is being conducted on the bonding technology of polymers, such as polyurethane and epoxy. However, the increased cost and environmental pollution by adhesives caused by the polymer manufacturing plant depend on the chemical composition or the manufacturer's mix ratio. To compensate for this issue, a laser beam is irradiated through a highly permeable polymer (PC) placed on top of an absorbent polymer (ABS) to transfer the laser output to the ABS polymer and fuse them at the interface. Moreover, enabling laser penetrating bonding by placing a stainless steel wire mesh between the two polymers can achieve improved bonding strength compared to conventional heterogeneous polymer bonding.

도전성 접착제는 많은 잠재적인 우수한 특성으로 응용범위가 점차로 확대되어 가고 그 시장 규모가 증가하는 추세에 있다. 본 논문에서는 전자패키징에서 널리 사용되어 오던 기존의 솔더를 대체하는 재료로서 도전성 접착제의 기술 동향에 대해 살펴보았다. 최근, 기존의 ECAs의 도전메커니즘(도전입자의 기계적/물리적 접촉)에 기인한 문제점을 극복하기 위한 나노입자를 사용한 여러형태의 ECAs와 접속 기술들이 활발히 개발 되고 있다. 앞서 언급한 바와 같이, ECAs가 가지는 낮은 전기도도와 불안정한 전기적 특성을 향상시키기 위한 개선하기 위한 도전입자 및 폴리머 주재의 성능향상을 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있지만 이러한 문제점을 극복할 새로운 재료의 개발 및 공정에 대한 연구가 필요한 것으로 판단된다. 또한, 최근 급속하게 전개되고 있는 전자 패키징 분야의 경박단소화, 고기능화, 다기능화 추세에 따른 미세피치화, 고전력/고주파 대응, 발열 문제 등의 해결할 수 있는 새로운 재료 및 공정에 대한 연구 개발은 가속화 될 것으로 보인다.

A precise bonding technique, transmission laser bonding using energy transfer, for polymer micro devices is presented. The irradiated IR laser beam passes through the transparent part and absorbed on the opaque part. The absorbed energy is converted into heat and bonding takes place. In order to optimize the bonding quality, the temperature profile on the interface must be obtained. Using optical measurements of the both plates, the absorbed energy can be calculated. At the wavelength of 1100nm $87.5\%$ of incident laser energy was used for bonding process from the calculation. A heat transfer model was applied for obtaining the transient temperature profile. It was found that with the power of 29.5 mW, the interface begins to melt and bond each other in 3 sec and it is in a good agreement with experiment results. The transmission IR laser bonding has a potential in the local precise bonding in MEMS or Lab-on-a-chip applications.

Laser Transmission Joining (LTJ), which is a joining process of polymers by using different transmission rates of materials, was studied numerically. Unlike previous studies, energy loss by reflection at the surface was included. Besides, energy absorbed in the transparent substrate is also considered to increase the accuracy of the analytical results. Furthermore, thermal deformations of the substrates were also calculated. Temperature distribution of the substrates on the joining process could be effectively predicted by using the thermal analysis model developed, which could also analyze the rising phenomenon of the absorbing substrate by bulge effect. Calculated results show that temperature of the absorbing substrate is higher than that of transparent substrate when the laser is being radiated, and this temperature difference causes more thermal deformation in absorbing substrate, which results in the surface rise of the absorbing substrate. Comparison of calculated results with corresponding experimental results could confirm the validity of the numerical analysis model proposed.

Laser Transmission Joining (LTJ) of plastics is a process in which light of suitable wavelength is transmitted through a transparent substrate that is in contact with an absorbing one. In this paper, LTJ is investigated by preliminary experiments from the viewpoint of mechanical engineering. To understand transmitting characteristics of each polymer substrate, transmission rate, reflection rate and absorption coefficient of polymer are measured by using a laser power-meter. Characteristics of joining in the spot welding and seam welding are investigated by measuring the fracture load. Fracture load increases in accordance to the laser power and irradiation time. However, when the laser power is over 60W and irradiation time over 4seconds, fracture load decreases. This phenomenon is probably due to heat-softening of materials. Besides, cavities are generated at a joint by evaporation of water molecules, which can be suppressed by introduction of a gap between two substrates.

Laser beam was applied on the boundary of the polyurethane and biodegradable polyacetate polymers. The distributed laser passed through the polyurethane layer and heated the polyacetate layer, then the soften acetate was squeezed thorough the 1mm square slots of polyurethane for the mechanical joining. The surface roughness ranging between $0.28{\mu}m$ and $3.06{\mu}m$ had almost no effect on joining strength, but the optical properties of HD (High Definition) and UHD (Ultra High Definition) mode affected laser beam transmittance. The optimum laser power was found to be between 8watt and 10watt with 500mm/min of scanning speed. The joining boundary was characterized by optical and SEM analysis. Based on the experiment and characterization results, the laser energy was effective for the polymer joining and efficiency of joining.

초기투자비용의 과다 발생으로 제한적으로 시공되고 있는 지중송전케이블의 역사는 1971년 154kV급 OF케이블이 처음으로 한국전력에 의해 상용운전후 현재에 이르고 있으며, 최근들어 지중케이블에서 발생된 송전선로 고장은 대부분 대형화되고 있어 초창기 시공된 케이블 종류의 대부분을 차지하고 있는 OF 케이블의 현상태를 정확하게 진단하고 각종 현상들을 분석하여 결론을 도출하지 않으면 안된다. 실제 계통에서 운전되고 있는 설비를 철거하여 상태를 판정할 수 있는 여건이 아니기 때문에 케이블의 현상태를 정확하게 분석하기 위해서는 절연유의 분석 등 간접적인 방법을 택하지 않을 수 없다. OF 케이블에 있어서 급유조는 케이블의 성능에 가장 직접적인 영향을 미치는 구성요소이며, 급유조에서 기준치보다 $2{\sim}5$배에 해당되는 이상가스의 발생원인을 파악하여 예방대책을 수립할 수 있게 되었다. 분리기의 용접부분 또는 접합부분에 틈이 생기지 않도록 하고 틈 부위에는 세라믹이나 폴리머등으로 코팅하여 $H_2$가스의 과다 발생을 방지할 수 있었다.

Dual laser heat sources were used for polymer based material joining. An infrared camera and thermocouple DAQ system were used to correlate the temperature distribution to computer simulation. A 50 degree tilted pre-heating laser source was acting as a heating source to promote the temperature to minimize thermal shock by the following a welding heat source. Based on the experimental result, the skin depth was empirically estimated for computer simulation. The offsets of 3mm, 5mm and 10mm split by weld and preheat were effectively used to control the temperature distribution for the optimal laser joining process. The closer offset resulted in an excessive melting or burning caused by sudden temperature rising. The laser power was split by 50%, 75% and 100% of the weld power, and the best results were found at 50% of preheating. To accurately simulate the physical laser beam absorption and joining optical properties were experimentally measured for the computer FEM simulation. The simulation results showed close correlation between theoretical and experimental results. The developed dual laser process is expected to increase productivity and minimize the cost for the final products.

A 3D printed metal part and thermal plastic polymer part were joined by direct laser irradiation. The 3D metal part was fabricated by using DED(Direct Energy Deposition) with STS316 material. The experiment was carried out through no patterned metal surface, 3D metal printed surface and micro laser patterned surface. The most secure joining quality was obtained at the laser micro patterned surface specimen and the counterparts of polymers were PLA and PE based thermo plastics. The applied laser power was 350Watt and the distance of patterns was maintained at $150{\mu}m$. The laser line width was optimized at $450{\mu}m$ and the laser micro pattern depth was $180{\mu}m$ for the best joining quality. Based on the result analysis, the possibility of laser material joining for metal to polymer was proposed and multi-material joining will be possible in 3D laser direct material fabrication.

본 논문에서는 격자가 있는 광경화성수지와 폴리아세테이트 수지의 레이저 접합해석에 대한 실험적 결과와 컴퓨터시뮬레이션 결과를 비교분석하였다. 3차원 격자형상은 MJM 방식의 3D 프린터를 사용하였고, 접합은 다이오드 레이저를 사용하였다. 5Watt ~ 7Watt 범위에서 경계면에 조사된 레이저는 유리천이온도에 도달 후 상면의 격자사이로 침투되어 기계적인 접합이 이루어졌다. 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션 결 과, 분포 온도를 통해서 열유동방향을 예측할 수 있었으며 분석을 통해서 접합의 원리를 이해할 수 있었다. 접합실험에서 최대 입열조건인 고출력 저속에서의 2scan 접합이 최소 입열조건이 저출력 고속 조건의 4 scan 보다는 훨씬더 효과적인 것으로 나타났고, 일정수준(Threshold) 이상의 최소에너지 즉, 유리천이온도 이상이 되어야만 효과적인 것을 알 수가 있었다.
