다중벽 탄소나노튜브 (CNT), 카본블랙 (CB) 그리고 희석제의 함유량에 따른 상온경화형 실리콘 고무복합재료의 전기적 및 기계적 특성에 대해 연구하였다. 기지 내에 CNT 및 CB의 분산을 향상시키기 위해서 희석제를 사용하였다. CNT 강화 복합재료의 전기적 및 기계적 특성은 같은 함유량의 CB이 강화된 복합재료에 비해 향상되었다. 희석제의 함유량이 80phr일 때, 복합재료의 전기저항은 CNT 함유량 증가에 따라 크게 감소하였고, CNT 2.5phr에서 접촉점 포화현상을 보였다. 희석제 함유량 증가에 따라 전도성 입자들의 분산은 향상되었지만, CB의 무게비 감소로 임계 CB 함유량은 증가하였다. 희석제의 함유량 증가로 많은 CNT와 CB의 혼합이 가능하므로 유연하면서 전기적 특성이 우수한 전극의 제작이 가능하다고 판단된다.

In this paper, we studied on the potential characteristics of human-body contacted the charging part. A charging part of electrical facilities and the earth are simulated by the e1ectrode pole and conductive rubber plates respectively. As the results of these follows, when the potential distribution of the human-body contacted the charging part is far from the electrode pole, a lot of currents flow through the human-body. Besides human-body non-contacted the charging part is affected by step voltage. Therefore, we could find out the causes of the electric shock accidents and be expected to the data for minimization of human error occurred the workspace.

The tracking characteristics of silicon rubber degraded by accelerated outdoor exposure employing a weather-o-meter have been investigated. The tracking test was performed according to IEC Publ.587 but the concentration of conductive material was two times higher than the IEC standard in order to accelerate the tracking failure. The number of large effective scintillation and the current of high voltage circuit were measured by changing two signals as voltage signals. It was fiund that the increase of exposure time resulted in the reduction of tracking resistivity except the fact that the specimens slightly degraded within 200 hours has slightly increased the duration time.

The thermal degradation of the homopolymer poly(methyl methacrylate)(PMMA)/tetra cyano quino dimethane(TCNQ) blend and Eccogel/TCNQ blend were carried out using the thermogravimetric method in the stream of nitrogen gas with 60ml/min at various heating rate from 1 to $20^{\circ}C/min$. Friedman and Ozawa mathermatical methods were used to obtain the value of activation energy. Produced electrical properties and activation energy by electric conductivity method that used LCR meter.

Ion exchange membrane can transfer only cation or anion in electrically conductive fluids. Recent studies have revealed that such selective ion transport can initiate electroconvective instability, resulting vortical fluid motions on the membrane. This so-called electroconvective vortex (a.k.a. electroconvection (EC)) has been in the spotlight for enhancing an ion flux in electrochemical systems. However, EC under shear flow has not been investigated yet, although most related systems operate under pressure-driven flows. In this study, we present the direct visualization platform of EC under shear flow. On the transparent silicone rubber, microscale channels were fabricated between ion exchange membranes, while allowing microscopic visualization of fluid flow and ion concentration changes on the membranes. By using this platform, not only we visualize the existence of EC under shear flow, its unique characteristics are also identified: i) unidirectional vortex pattern, ii) its advection along the shear flow, and iii) shear-sheltering of EC vortices.

Magnesium oxide (MgO) reinforced polyamide-66 (PA66) composites were prepared through melt-compounding method in order to determine the possibility of using MgO particle as conductive filler in the polymer-based composite. The effects of MgO filler content on the thermal conductivity and mechanical properties for the PA66/MgO composites were investigated. The results showed that the addition of MgO filler to the PA66 matrix led to a large increase in thermal conductivity of the PA66/MgO composites. Tensile strengths of the PA66/MgO composites were slightly decreased as MgO filler loading increased. However, flexural strength and flexural modulus were improved with increasing filler loading. Notched Izod impact strengths were dramatically lowered by the addition of MgO filler.

It is important to train lower limb muscle strength using a tilting table to recover the lower extremity function of hemiplegia patients. It is known that the foot deformity and poor posture of hemiplegia patients can reduce the effectiveness of lower limb rehabilitation training. In this study, we developed a sensor system that can measure the foot pressure distribution of the patients for the load control of the lower extremity during lower limb rehabilitation training and it can be substituted for conventional high-cost technologies.

Electronic skin (or E-skin) is an artificial smart skin composed of one or more than two sensors. E-skins detect external stimuli and convert them into electrical signals. Various types of E-skin sensors exist, including mechanical, physical, and chemical, depending on the detection signals involved. For wearable E-skins with superior sensitivity and reliability, developing conductors that possess both good elasticity and sensitivity is essential. Typical electrical conductors used in these sensors show very high sensitivity, but they have drawbacks such as non-linearity, irreversibility, and a narrow sensing range. To address these issues, stretchable and lightweight ionic conductors have been actively used in E-skin applications. This study summarizes the recent progress on various types of ionic conductors and ionic-conductor-based E-skin sensors.

This research is the development of a flexible tactile sensor array for service robots using PVDF (polyvinylidene fluoride) film for the detection of a contact state in real time. The prototype of the tactile sensor which has 8${\times}$8 array using PVDF film was fabricated. In the fabrication procedure, the electrode patterns and the common electrode of the thin conductive tape were attached to both sides of the 281$\mu\textrm{m}$ thickness PVDF film using conductive adhesive. The sensor was covered with polyester film for insulation and attached to the rubber base for a stable structure. The proposed fabrication method is simple and easy to make the sensor. The sensor has the advantages in the implementing for practical applications because its structure is flexible and the shape of the each tactile element can be designed arbitrarily. The signals of a contact force to the tactile sensor were sensed and processed in the DSP system in which the signals are digitized and filtered. Finally, the signals were integrated for taking the force profile. The processed signals of the output of the sensor were visualized in a personal computer, and the shape and force distribution of the contact object were obtained. The reasonable performance for the detection of the contact state was verified through the sensing examples.

전도성 고분자로 주목을 받고 있는 poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)- polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT/PSS)는 분산 용매에 따라서 전기적 특성이 변화한다. 본 논문에서는 고형으로 최근 시판되고 있는 PEDOT/PSS를 물, 에탄올 (EtOH), 에틸렌 글리콜 (EG) 및 디메틸설폭사이드 (DMSO)에 분산시킨 용액을 PET 필름 상에 코팅하여 표면 저항을 측정한 결과, EG 및 DMSO를 사용하였을 경우에 약 100배 정도 더 낮은 표면 저항치를 나타내었다. 코팅된 필름의 열적 특성 및 화학적 특성을 TGA 및 XPS로 분석한 결과, 용매에 따른 차이는 발견되지 않았다. 그러나 분산액 자체의 입도를 분석한 결과, EG 및 DMSO 용액에서는 $1-3{\mu}m$ 정도의 입자로 존재하였으나, 물에서는 $0.1{\mu}m$ 이하의 미세 입자로 존재하는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 전기적 특성의 차이는 분산 상태에서의 PEDOT/PSS 입자 크기에 영향을 받는 것으로 판단된다.
