We have developed a cylindrical multi-terminal capacitive-conductive sensor that could be attached to the internal surface of cooling system pipe to evaluate capacitance and conductivity of heat transfer fluid. It was used as measuring system to diagnose insulating condition, by which was kept a insulating resistance of inner stack and at the same time was cooled electrochemical heat of reaction of FCEV(fuel cell electric vehicle) stack that used a compressed hydrogen gas reacting with oxygen in accordance with variation on thermal degradation of nonconductive heat transfer fluid. Also to assess diagnosis characteristics of heat transfer fluid, i.e. coolant, we have performed accelerated aging test using developed sensor attached to cooling system. Consequently, it was measured dielectric and electric resistance of coolant to estimate and analyse for dielectric properties by degradation condition.

Electrically conductive carbon fiber/high density polyethylene (CF/HDPE) composite films were fabricated by new method, so called electron-ion technology (EIT) and the effects of CF epoxy sizing on the volumetric resistivity. tensile strength and interphase properties of the films were investigated. While epoxy sizing increased conductivity of composite films resulting from enhanced tunneling effect it reduced interphase adhesion between CF and HDPE because polar epoxy sizing and nonpolar HDPE are incompatible. Consequently epoxy sized CF(CF(S)) caused significant reduction in the volumetric resisitivity and tensile strength of composite films when compared with unsized CF(CF(U)). Epoxy sizing reduced nucleating efficiency of CF(S), therefore CF(S)/HDPE composite films showed nonuniform transcrystalline layer when compared with CF(U)/HDPE composite films.

In this study, we analyzed the correlation between mechanical and electrical properties of low-temperature conductive film (LT-CF) bonded silicon solar cells by a quadrant analysis (horizontal axis (peeling strength), vertical axis (power loss)). We found that a series of points with various bonding parameters such as bonding temperature, pressure and time were distributed in the different three regimes; weak regime (Q2: weak bonding strength and high power loss), moderate regime (Q4 : strong bonding strength and low power loss) and hard regime (Q3 : weak bonding strength and low power loss). Using this analogous technique, it was possible to fabricate the LT-CF bonded silicon solar cells with the various conditions displayed in Q3 of the quadrant plots, possessing the peeling strength of ~ 1N/mm and power loss of 2~3%.

Photo-conductive properties of CdS films deposited on glass substrates by a reactive sputtering in Ar atmosphere were characterized as a function of working pressure and the film thickness. The XRD measurements of CdS films revealed obvious (002) preferred orientation. In 300nm-thick of films, difference between dark and photo-resistance increases with increasing working pressure within the films. The films at 5 mTorr of working pressure show a dark resistance of approximately $1\;{\times}\;10^6\;{\Omega}/{\square}$ and a photo-resistance of $3\;{\times}\;10^4\;{\Omega}/{\square}$. The decrease dark- and photo-resistance of films as thickness decrease were $1.4\;{\times}\;10^6$ and $3\;{\times}\;10^4\;{\Omega}/{\square}$, respectively. CdS films deposited on glass substrates are considered tobe suitable for photo-conductivity materials in stealth radome applications.

Conductive $SrMoO_3$ thin films were fabricated by RF magnetron sputtering with the powder-type sputtering target, and annealed for crystallization. When RTP (rapid thermal processing) in vacuum was applied, the fabricated thin films showed the mixed phases of $SrMoO_3$ and $SrMoO_4$, but $SrMoO_3$ phase could be promoted by the lowering of the working pressure during deposition. In order to eliminate $O_2$ gas during deposition and annealing, further lowering of the working pressure and furnace annealing in hydrogen atmosphere were tried. With the optimization of the deposition and annealing conditions, the thin film with nearly single-phase of $SrMoO_3$ was obtained, and it showed good electrical conduction properties with a low resistivity of $2.5{\times}10^{-3}{\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ at room temperature.

The adhesion strength as well as the electrochemical properties of $LiNi_{0.4}Mn_{0.4}Co_{0.2}O_2$ electrodes containing various conductive carbons (CC) such as fiber-like carbon, vapor-grown carbon fiber, carbon nanotubes, particle-like carbon, Super P, and Ketjen black is compared. The morphological properties is investigated using scanning electron microscope to reveal the interaction between the different CC and the active material. The surface and interfacial cutting analysis system is also used to measure the adhesion strength between the aluminum current collector and the composite film, and the adhesion strength between the active material and the CC of the electrodes. The results obtained from the measured adhesion strength points to the fact that the structure and the particle size of CC additives have tremendous influence on the binding property of the composite electrodes, and this in turn affects the electrochemical property of the configured electrodes.

Shingled module shows high ratio active area per total area due to more efficient packing without inactive space between cells. The module is fabricated by connecting the pre-cut cells into the string using electrically conductive adhesives (ECA). ECAs are used for electric and structural connections to fabricate the shingled modules. In this work, we investigated a correlation between ECA peel strength and the efficiency of pre-cut 5 cells module which are fabricated according to ECA interconnection conditions. The curing conditions are varied to determine whether ECA interconnection properties can affect module properties. As a result of the peel test, the highest peel strength was 1.27 N/mm in the condition of 170℃, the lowest peel strength was 0.89 N/mm in the condition of 130℃. The efficiency was almost constant regardless of the curing conditions at an average of 20%. However, the standard deviation of the fill factor increased as the adhesive strength decreased.

In this review the methods for production and processing of isolated or agglomerated nanoscale metal particles embedded in organic liquids (nanosuspensions) and polymer matrix composites are elucidated. Emphasis is laid on the techniques of inert gas condensation (IGC) and high pressure sputtering for obtaining highly porous metal powders ("nanopowder") as well as on vacuum evaporation on running liquids for obtaining nanosuspensions. Functional properties and post-processing are outlined in view of applications in the fields of electrically conductive adhesives and anti-microbially active materials for medical articles and consumer goods.mer goods.

The effect of the heat treatment of the AZO transparent conductive film prepared by rf magnetron sputtering was investigated. The variations of the electrical and optical properties with heat treatment ambient and temperature were studied. After the heat treatment in air above 300.deg. C, the resistivity of AZO films increased by 1 to 8 orders of magnitude. However, no significant change in the AZO films after th eheat treatment in vacuum was not observed.
