Piezoelectric generators use direct piezoelectric effects that convert mechanical energy into electrical energy. Many studies were attempted to fabricate piezoelectric generators using piezoelectrics such as ZnO, PZT, PVDF. However, these various inorganic/organic piezoelectric materials are not suitable for bio-implantable devices due to problems such as brittleness, toxicity, bio-incompatibility, bio-degradation. Thus, in this paper, piezoelectric generators were prepared using a silk fibroin film which is bio-compatible by dip-coating method. The silk fibroin films are a mixed state of silk I and silk II having stable β-sheet type structures and shows the d₃₃ value of 8~10 pC/N. There was a difference in output voltages according to the thickness. The silk fibroin generators, coated 10 times and 20 times, revealed the power density of 16.07 μW/cm² and 35.31 μW/cm² using pushing tester, respectively. The silk fibroin generators are sensitive to various pressure levels, which may arise from body motions such as finger tapping, foot pressing, wrist shaking, etc. The silk fibroin piezoelectric generators with bio-compatibility shows the applicability as a low-power implantable piezoelectric generator, healthcare monitoring service, and biotherapy devices.

The demand of on-chip total analyzing system with MEMS (micro electro mechanical system) bio/chemical sensor is rapidly increasing. In on-chip total analyzing system, to detect the bio/chemical products with submicron feature size, a filtration system with nano-filter is required. One of the conventional methods to fabricate nano-filter is to use direct patterning or RIE (reactive ion etching). However, those procedures are very costly and are not suitable fur mass production. In this study, we suggested new fabrication method for a nano-filter based on replication process, which is simple and low cost process. After the Si master was fabricated by laser interference lithography and reactive ion etching process, the polymeric mold was replicated by UV-imprint process. Metallic nano-filter was fabricated after removing the polymeric part of metal deposited polymeric mold. Finally, our fabrication method was applied to metallic nano-filter with $1{\mu}m$ pitch size and $0.4{\mu}m$ hole size for bacteria sensor application.

Surface Engineering is a field closely related to Tribology. Surfaces are engineered to reduce adhesion, friction and wear between moving components in engineering applications. On the contrary, it is also necessary to have high adhesion between surfaces so as to hold/stick surfaces together. In this context, surface engineering plays an important role. In recent times, scientists are drawing inspiration from nature to create effective artificial adhesive surfaces. This article provides some examples of novel surface engineering approaches conducted by various research groups worldwide that have significantly contributed in the creation of bio-inspired artificial adhesive surfaces.

Nano-silver 용액의 식물병원성 세균에 대한 항균 활성 검정을 하기 위해 Clavibacter michiganensis subsp. michiganensis를 포함한 10가지 균주를 대상으로 실험을 수행 하였다. Nano-silver용액은 바이오 (주)플러스에서 제공된 WA-CV-WA13B, WA-AT-WB13R과 WA-PR-WB13R용액을 사용하였으며, 10 ppm, 25 ppm, 50 ppm, 100 ppm 농도로 nano-silver 용액을 배지에 첨가하여 nano-silver 배지를 제조한 후 실험대상 세균 균주를 72 h 배양 후 생장억제 정도를 관찰하기 위하여 세균의 colony 수를 세었다. 실험 결과, WA-CV-WA13B 용액의 경우 C-1에 대하여 10 ppm에서도 높은 생장 억제 효과를 나타냈고, P-6, X-1, 그리고 X-2에 대해서도 생장억제 효과를 나타냈고, WA-AT-WB13R용액의 경우 10 ppm의 농도에서 P-6에 대하여 살균효과가 나타났다. 10 ppm의 농도에서는 C-1, X-1, 그리고 X-2에 대해서 약간의 생장억제 효과가 관찰 되었다. WA-PR-WB13R용액의 경우 10 ppm 혹은 그이상의 농도가 P-5, P-6, 그리고 X-2 균주에 대하여 살균효과를 나타내었다. 실험에 사용된 3가지 nano-silver 용액 모두 25 ppm 이상에서 모든 실험대상 식물병원성 세균에 대하여 살균효과를 나타내었으며, 이러한 결과는 nano-silver 용액을 식물병원성 세균의 방제제로 활용할 수 있는 가능성을 보여주는 결과라고 판된다.

n-Pentane의 분리 및 회수를 위해 분리막의 제조가 용이하고 유기용매에 대한 내용매성이 있는 polyetherimide (PEI)를 지지체로 poly (dimethyl siloxane) (PDMS)를 코팅하여 중공사 복합막을 제조하였다. 제조된 기체 분리막의 특성을 알아보기 위하여 n-Pentane과 질소를 이용하여 공급농도와 stage cut의 변화에 따른 n-pentane과 질소의 투과도, permeate, retentate의 농도, 농축도, 회수율을 측정하였다. n-pentane과 질소의 투과도는 각각 2485.3, 9.9 GPU를 나타내었고, stage cut이 감소하고 공급농도가 증가할수록 투과측의 n-pentane 농도는 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다. 반면 회수효율의 경우에는 stage cut이 증가할수록 공급농도가 감소할수록 증가하는 경향을 나타내었다.

PURPOSE. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the effect of nano-structured alumina surface coating on shear bond strength between Y-TZP ceramic and various dual-cured resin cements. MATERIALS AND METHODS. A total of 90 disk-shaped zirconia specimens (HASS CO., Gangneung, Korea) were divided into three groups by surface treatment method: (1) airborne particle abrasion, (2) tribochemicalsilica coating, and (3) nano-structured alumina coating. Each group was categorized into three subgroups of ten specimens and bonded with three different types of dual-cured resin cements. After thermocycling, shear bond strength was measured and failure modes were observed through FE-SEM. Two-way ANOVA and the Tukey's HSD test were performed to determine the effects of surface treatment method and type of cement on bond strength (P<.05). To confirm the correlation of surface treatment and failure mode, the Chi-square test was used. RESULTS. Groups treated with the nano-structured alumina coating showed significantly higher shear bond strength compared to other groups treated with airborne particle abrasion or tribochemical silica coating. Clearfil SA Luting showed a significantly higher shear bond strength compared to RelyX ARC and RelyX Unicem. The cohesive failure mode was observed to be dominant in the groups treated with nano-structured alumina coating, while the adhesive failure mode was prevalent in the groups treated with either airborne particle abrasion or tribochemical silica coating. CONCLUSION. Nano-structured alumina coating is an effective zirconia surface treatment method for enhancing the bond strength between Y-TZP ceramic and various dual-cured resin cements.
