상변화 메모리 소자의 고집적화를 위한 새로운 패터닝 공정을 위하여 블락 공중합체의 자가 조립 특성을 적용한 고분자 패턴을 TiN기판 위에 적용화기 위한 연구를 진행하였다. 블락 공중합체의 자기 조립에 의한 패턴의 모양은 각 기판과 블락 공중합체간의 상호작용에 따라 sphere, cylinder, lamellar 형태의 모양을 띄게 된다. 표면처리가 안된 TiN기판 위의 PS-b-PMMA 블락 공중합체의 패턴의 형태는 cylinder와 lamellar 구조가 섞여 있는 구조로써 PS-r-PMMA 랜덤 공중합체로 기판 표면을 처리해 줄 경우 좀 더 균일한 cylinder 패턴 구조를 얻을 수 있었다. PS-r-PMMA로 기판 표면 처리 전 후의 상호 작용의 변화를 알아보기 위하여 물방울 접촉각 테스트를 하였으며 랜덤 공중합체와 블락 공중합체의 표면 처리 열처리 조건에 따른 패턴 행태의 변화를 관찰하기 위하여 모두 24,48,72시간으로 변화시켜 열처리 하였다. 최종 열처리 후 블락 공중합체의 패턴 형태의 주사 전자 현미경 관찰을 위하여 acetic acid에 60분 동안 침지시켜 PMMA를 제거 후 괄찰하였다.

Thermosensitive nanoparticles were prepared via the self-assembly of two different $poly({\varepsilon}-caprolactone)$-based block copolymers of poly(N-isopropylacrylamide)-b-$poly({\varepsilon}-caprolactone)$ (PNPCL) and poly(ethylene glycol)-b-$poly({\varepsilon}-caprolactone)$ (PEGCL). The self-aggregation and thermosensitive behaviors of the mixed nanoparticles were investigated using $^1H-NMR$, turbidimetry, differential scanning microcalorimetry (micro-DSC), dynamic light scattering (DLS), and fluorescence spectroscopy. The copolymer mixtures (mixed nanoparticles, M1-M5, with different PNPCL content) formed nano-sized self-aggregates in an aqueous environment via the intra- and/or intermolecular association of hydrophobic PCL chains. The microscopic investigation of the mixed nanoparticles showed that the critical aggregation concentration (cac), the partition equilibrium constants $(K_v)$ of pyrene, and the aggregation number of PCL chains per one hydrophobic microdomain varied in accordance with the compositions of the mixed nanoparticles. Furthermore, the PNPCL harboring mixed nanoparticles evidenced phase transition behavior, originated by coil to the globule transition of PNiPAAm block upon heating, thereby resulting in the turbidity change, endothermic heat exchange, and particle size reduction upon heating. The drug release tests showed that the formation of the thermosensitive hydrogel layer enhanced the sustained drug release patterns by functioning as an additional diffusion barrier.

Size control of therapeutic carriers in drug delivery systems has become important due to its relevance to biodistribution in the human body and therapeutic efficacy. To understand the dependence of particle size on the formation condition during nanoprecipitation method, we prepared nanoparticles from biodegradable, amphiphilic block copolymers and investigated the particle size and structure of the resultant nanoparticles according to various process parameters. We synthesized monomethoxy poly(ethylene glycol)-poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) block copolymer, MPEG-PCL, with different MPEG/PCL ratios via ring opening polymerization initiated from the hydroxyl end group of MPEG. Using various formulations with systematic change of the block ratio of MPEG and PCL, solvent choice, and concentration of organic phase, MPEG-PCL nanoparticles were prepared through nanoprecipitation technique. The results indicated that (i) the nanoparticles have a dual structure with an MPEG shell and a PCL core, originating from self-assembly of MPEG-PCL copolymer in aqueous condition, and (ii) the size of nanoparticles is dependent upon two sequential processes: diffusion between the organic and aqueous phases and solidification of the polymer.

Production simulation technology is beneficial to solve the complicated and fluctuated problems in a shipyard. It takes too much time and effort to build simulation models in the field, though. This research proposes a feasible method to reduce the difficulties related to simulation modeling for the factory or shop capacity analysis. In addition, a proposed neutral data format for production information is efficient to manage information acquisition for simulation modeling automation. A panel block shop model is contributed to comparison between the conventional technique and the automated one. The automation technique is highly recommended to run a rapid simulation in the shipyard problem.

In this paper, we present a block media communication (BMC) system which employs powerline communication to the equipments used in the welding process for ship-assembly and uses metal block as a communication medium. Inductive couplers are installed on digital feeder and pin jig. Information signal is added to the current generated by the welding gun, and applied to the block. When the welding operation starts, information generated in the field is transmitted to the monitoring server in real-time. The field test on the BMC system confirms that the transmitted data are correctly received at the server. Since the proposed system can be built without any changes to the existing welding process, it is helpful to increase competitiveness of the shipbuilding industry through smart factory of shipyards. It is also possible to quickly respond to emergency situations that may occur to workers in an electromagnetic wave shielding environment or a closed space, the effect of preventing industrial accidents will be great.

Many researchers in the 21st century has found that robot education is effective to develop the learners' creativity and problem-solving ability. However, the robot education can only be applied to the students whose computer skills are high. Also it can be taught in the well-prepared computer classroom. Students have to learn machine language to control their robots, and robots are controlled by different types of software. Therefore this study has constructed command-based programming blocks to do a robot programming without computers. It also presents a prototype of the programming process and a technological method to combine the command and the programming blocks. We used the blocks which are similar with something in flow chart: to support intuition, and to help students transfer what they learned. And types of blocks and details are described for the Robot Programing Education. Combination of command blocks is made by RS-485 connection method and, it is designed to intercommunicate with connected blocks. It also presents a prototypes: of the programming process using designed command blocks, and of the possibility of Unplugged Robot Education System.

We propose Cubical User Interface(CUI) for toy block composition in Augmented Reality. The creation of new object by composing virtual object is able to construct various AR contents effectively. However, existing GUI method requires learning time or is lacking of intuitiveness between act of user and offered interface. In case of AR interfaces, they mainly have been supported one handed operation and it did not consider composition property well. Therefore, the CUI provide tangible cube as the manipulation tool for virtual toy block composition in AR. The tangible cube which is attached multi-markers, magnets, and buttons supports free rotation, combination, and button input. Also, we propose two kinds of two-handed composing interactions based on CUI. First is Screw Driving(SD) method which is possible to free 3-D positioning and second is Block Assembly(BA) method which support visual guidance and is fast and intuitive. We expected that proposed interface can apply as the authoring system for content such as education, entertainment, Digilogbook.

기존의 광학리소그래피방법으로는 나노크기의 패턴을 형성하는데에 있어서 많은 제약이 있으며, 사실상 수십나노크기의 패턴을 형성하는데에는 전자빔리소그래피등 새로운 패턴형성 방법이 요구되고 있다. 블록 공중합체를 이용한 나노 패턴은 서로 다른 화학적 구조를 가지는 고분자들이 공유결합으로 연결되어 있는 분자구조를 이용하여, 하나의 분자 내에 서로 다른 블록들이 상분리를 일으키려는 것과 동시에 이들의 공유결합으로 인해 그 정도가 제한되는 것을 이용하여 라멜라, 실린더, 구 등의 주기적으로 배열된 형태의 구조물을 형성하는 패터닝 기술이다. 블록 공중합체를 이용한 나노크기의 패턴 형성은 열역학적으로 안정적인 구조이며, 대면적으로 구현 할 수 있어서 차세대 소자제작을 위한 제작기술로 많은 관심을 가지고 있다. 하지만 블록공중합체를 이용한 나노패턴 기술은 선행적으로 나노구조체를 결함이 없고, 원하는 형태로 제작 할 수 있는 공정의 확립이 필요하다. 따라서 본 연구에서는, 이러한 블록 공중합체을 이용한 나노패턴을 제조하는 공정에서, 폴리스틸렌과 실리콘 산화물 박막과의 표면반응을 막기 위한 Self-Assembly Monolayers (SAMs) 처리 공정이 패턴 형성에 미치는 영향을 알아보기 위하여 MPTS의 농도 및 처리시간을 변화시켰다. 나노패턴을 분석, 확인하기 위하여 Atomic Force Microscopic (AFM)과 Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscope (FESEM)을 이용하였다.

These days, the great part of design processes in the field of ship or offshore manufacturing are planned and implemented using the CAD system customized for shipbuilding companies. It means that all information for design and production could be extracted and reused at the other useful fields which need cost considerable time and efforts. The typical example is the field of welding material quantity evaluation which is demanded during the construction of ship or offshore structures. The proper evaluation of welding material to be used and the usage of them at the stage of schedule planning are mostly important to achieve the seamless process of production and costing in advance. This study is related to the calculation of welding length and needed welding material quantity at the stage of design completion utilizing the customized CAD system. The calculated welding material quantity would be classified according to welding posture, assembly stage, block, bevel and welding type so as to improve the accuracy of total cost evaluation. Moreover it is possible to predict the working time for welding operation and could be used efficiently for the cost management using the results of this research.

The${\beta}$-glucosidases occur widely in all living organisms and has in general a tendency to form oligomers of varying numbers of subunits or aggregates, although the functional implications of such diverse oligomerization schemes remain unclear. In particular, the assembly mode of the oat ${\beta}$-glucosidase is very unique in that it multimerizes by linear stacking of a hexameric building block to form long fibrillar multimers. Some structural proteins such as actin and tubulin assemble into long fibrils in a helical fashion and several enzymes such as GroEL and Pyrodictium ATPase functional complexes, 20S proteasome of the archaebacterium Thermoplasma acidophilum, and lutamine synthetase fromblue-green algae, assemble into discrete oligomers upto 4 stacked rings to maintain their enzymatic activities. In particular, oat ${\beta}$-glucosidase exists in vivo as a discrete long fibrillar multimer assembly that is a novel structure for enzyme protein. It is assembled by linear stacking of hollow trimeric units. The fibril has a long central tunnel connecting to the outer medium via regularly distributed side fenestrations. The enzyme active sites are located within the central tunnel and multimerization increases enzyme affinity to the substrates and catalytic efficiency of the enzyme. Although it is suggested that oligomerization may contribute to the enzyme stability and catalytic efficiency of ${\beta}$-glycosidases, the functional implications of such diverse oligomerization schemes remain unclear so far.
