반응시간을 변화시키면서 poly(ether ether ketone) (PEEK)을 황산과 반응시켜 술폰화도가 다른 sulfonated PEEK (SPEEK)를 합성하였다. 제조한 SPEEK를 탄소전극 표면에 코팅하여 이온선택성 복합탄소전극(ion-selective composite carbon electrode, ISCCE)을 제조하였다. 임피던스 분석을 통해 제조한 ISCCE의 비정전용량과 전기저항을 측정하였다. 술폰화 반응 시간에 따라 SPEEK의 이온교환용량은 1.60~2.57 meq/g으로 측정되었다. 그러나 이온교환용량이 2.5 meq/g 이상에서는 SPEEK가 일부 물에 용해되어 ISCCE 제조에 부적합하였다. ISCCE에 대한 정전용량을 측정한 결과 코팅된 SPEEK의 이온교환용량이 증가함에 따라 정전용량도 증가하였으며 코팅하지 않은 탄소전극에 비해 최대 20%까지 향상되었다. 또한 코팅층의 전기저항은 SPEEK의 이온교환용량이 증가함에 따라 크게 감소하였다. 따라서 SPEEK가 코팅된 ISCCE를 이용하여 기존 축전식 탈염(capacitive deionization, CDI) 공정의 탈염효율을 크게 향상시킬 수 있을 것으로 기대된다.

본 논문에서는 탄소나노튜브 전왜성 복합소재(Nano-Carbon Piezoresistive Composite, NCPC)를 기반으로 하며, 3D 프린팅 공정을 활용하여 제작된 압력센서의 개발 진행 연구를 소개하였다. 압력센서의 성능을 향상시키기 위하여 센서전극을 외팔보 형태로 설계하였고 3D 프린팅 공정을 활용하여 소형전극을 제작하였다. 압력을 전기적 저항의 변화로 바꾸는 전왜성 센서의 전극은 2wt%의 다중벽 탄소나노튜브/에폭시 전왜성 복합소재로 제작하였다. 센서는 압력시스템에 용이하게 적용하기 위하여 파이프 플러그 캡에 삽입하여 제작을 하였으며, 실험실 환경에서 압력교정기를 활용하여 실험을 하였다. 외팔보 전극의 압력센서는 16,500kPa까지 선형적인 출력전압 특성을 보였으며, 이는 벌크형 전극의 압력센서 대비 약 200% 압력측정 성능 향상을 보였다.

Many fundamental studies have been carried out regarding waste water and hazardous gas treatment technology using the photolysis effect of $TiO_2$. However, photolysis of both organic and organic-inorganic binders immobilizing $TiO_2$ makes permanent use impossible. In this study we manufactured a catalytic electrode by nickel-$TiO_2$ composite plating in order to immobilize $TiO_2$. The surface properties according to the current density changes of cathode and concentration changes of $TiO_2$ powder in nickel plating bath has been analysed with EDX, XRF, SEM, Raman spectrometer etc. The characterization of the catalytic electrode in decomposition of organic compound has been obtained by using UV-Visible spectrophotometer through analysing concentration changes of methyl orange solution containing the catalytic electrode vs. time with projecting UV-light in the solution. The study shows that a catalytic electrode of nickel-$TiO_2$ composite plating with high-efficiency in decompostion of organic compound has been formed under high concentration of $TiO_2$ powder and low current density of cathode.

The active vibration control of composite shell structure has been performed with the optimized sensor/actuator system. For the design of sensor/actuator system, a method based on finite element technique is developed. The nine-node Mindlin shell element has been used for modeling the integrated system of laminated composite shell with PVDF sensor/actuator. The distributed selective modal sensor/actuator system is established to prevent the effect of spillover. Electrode patterns and lamination angles of sensor/actuator are optimized using genetic algorithm. Continuous electrode patterns are discretized according to finite element mesh, and orientation angle is encoded into discrete values using binary string. Sensor is designed to minimize the observation spillover, and actuator is designed to minimize the system energy of the control modes under a given initial condition. Modal sensor/actuator for the first and the second mode vibration control of singly curved cantilevered composite shell structure are designed with the method developed on the finite element method and optimization. For verification, the experimental test of the active vibration control is performed for the composite shell structure. Discrete LQG method is used as a control law.

접착성이 없는 고밀도 폴리에틸렌 (HDPE)과 나노입자 카본블랙 복합체를 대상으로 전극과의 계면 접착 향상과 고분자 가교 특성에 따른 양온도 계수 (PTC) 특성을 연구하였다. 은페이스트를 전극으로 사용하였을 때에는, 전극과 HDPE의 접착 계면 저항으로 인하여 카본함량이 45 wt% 이상에서 1 $\Omega$ 이었으나, 덴드라이트 (dendrite)된 구리 전극의 경우 HDPE와 전극간의 넓은 면적 접촉에 의한 계면 저항이 0.2 $\Omega$ 이하였다. HDPE와 은페이스트의 계면 저항의 증가로 인하여 구리 박막을 사용하였을 때보다 전체적으로 저항이 높게 나타났다. HDPE와 나노입자 카본블랙 복합체는 온도가 증가하여 HDPE의 비캣연화온도까지는 저항이 일정하게 유지하다가, HDPE의 연화점에서 증가하기 시작하여 용융점에서 극대 값을 나타내는 전형적인 PTC특성을 보여주었다. 일반적으로 HDPE의 용융점을 넘어서면 음온도 계수 (NTC) 현상이 나타나는데, 가교결합을 시킨 HDPE의 경우는, 용융점 이상에서 NTC 현상이 나타나지 않고 저항이 일정하게 유지되거나 증가하는 경향이 나타났다. 구리 (copper) 전극과 고분자와의 계면 접촉 면적을 증가시키기 위하여 크롬 (chromium)을 덴드라이트시킨 전극을 사용하여 계면 접촉 저항을 감소시켰다.

A tetrode is one of the neural electrodes, and it is widely used to record neural signals in the brain of a freely moving animal. The impedance of a neural electrode is an important parameter because it determines the signal-to-noise ratio of the recorded neural signals. Here, we developed a modification technique using carbon nanotube-polypyrrole composite nanostructures to decrease the impedances of tetrodes. The synthesis of the carbon nanotube and polypyrrole nanostructures was performed in two steps. In the first step, randomly dispersed carbon nanotubes and pyrrole monomers were gathered and aligned on the tetrode electrode. Next, they were electro-polymerized on the electrode surface. As the applied time (step-1 and step-2) and the offset voltage increased, the impedances of the tetrodes decreased. The modification technique is, therefore, an important and useful of lowering the impedances of tetrodes.

Based on the general theory of elasticity, the static behavior of 2-2 cement-based piezoelectric curved composites is investigated. The actuator consists of 2 cement layers and 1 piezoelectric layer. Considering the electrode layer between the cement layer and the piezoelectric layer as the elastic layer, the exact solutions of the mechanical and electrical fields of the curved composites are obtained by utilizing the Airy stress function method. Furthermore, the theoretical results are compared with the FEM results and good agreements (with almost no error) are obtained, thus proving the validity of this study. Furthermore, the influence of certain parameters is discussed, which can help to get the desired displacements and stresses. Finally, it is seen that the analytical model established in this paper works well, which could benefit the design of this kind of cement-based smart devices.

Dielectric and conductive spect frequency spectra in a $1Hz{\sim}13MHz$ range have been measured for the composite consisting of PZT inclusions dispersed in a $LiClO_4$ doped polyethylene oxide(Li_PEO) matrix with various volume fractions. The dielectric and conductive spectra of the composites revealed the relaxations related with electrode polarization and interfacial polarization The observed spectra were reproduced using the empirical function and we could obtain vairous parameters related to electrode polarization and interfacial polarization.

YSZ/LSM composite cathode was fabricated by dip-coating of YSZ sol on the internal pore surface of a LSM cathode followed by sintering at low temperature (800-100$0^{\circ}C$) The YSZ coating significantly increased the TPB(Triple Phase Boundary) where the gas the electrode and the electrolyte were in contact with each other. Sinter the formation of resistive materials such as La2Zr2O7 or SrZrO3 was prevented due to the low processing temperature and TPB was increased due to the YSZ film coating the electrode resistance (Rel) was reduced about 100 times compared to non-modified cathode. From the analysis of a.c impedance it was shown that microstructural change of the cathode caused by YSZ film coating affected the oxygen reduction reaction. In the case of non-modified cathode the RDS (rate determining step) was electrode reactions rather than mass transfer or the oxygen gas diffusion in the experimental conditions employed in this study ($600^{\circ}C$-100$0^{\circ}C$ and 0,01-1 atm of Po2) for the YSZ film coated cathode however the RDS involved the oxygen diffusion through micropores of YSZ film at high temperature of 950-100$0^{\circ}C$ and low oxygen partial pressure of 0.01-0.03 atm.

Ag-ceramic composite materials were investigated as internal electrodes for multilayer ceramic actuators (MLCA). Ag-ceramic pastes were prepared by adding PZT-based ceramic powders to a Ag patse in a range of 0 to 50 wt.%. PZT/Ag-PZT multilayered laminates were fabricated by tape casting and fired at low temperatures below $950^{\circ}C$. The addition of ceramic into the Ag electrode resulted in a decrease in the thermal expansion mismatch between the electrode and the ceramic sheet. The maximum strain of PZT/Ag-PZT multilayered actuators were $9{\times}10^{-4}$ under an electric field of 2.5MV/m. In conclusion, Ag-PZT composite materials are efficient for low cost piezoelectric MLCAs.
