자체-센서와 미세 작동기 응용을 위한 CNT와 ITO로 코팅된 나노복합재료의 계면접착 내구성과 전기적 특성을 평가하였다. 나노복합재료의 접착 및 계면 내구성은 반복하중 피로시험에 따른 전기저항도를 측정하여 평가하였다. CNT와 ITO의 고유 전기적 특성으로 인하여 CNT가 코팅된 PVDF 나노복합재료는 ITO가 코팅된 경우보다 다소 낮은 전기저항도를 나타내었으나, 모두 양호한 자체-감지능을 보여주었다. CNT/PVDF와 ITO/PVDF 나노복합재료 모두 계면 내구성은 양호함을 확인하였다. 정적 접촉각 시험을 통해 CNT와 ITO 그리고 PVDF간의 표면에너지, 접착일, 그리고 퍼짐계수를 평가하여 계면 내구성과 의 상호 관련성을 확인하였다. 수용액에서 CNT와 ITO로 코팅된 PVDF 시편의 최적의 작동성은 주파수와 전압을 달리하여 레이져 변위센서를 사용한 연신율 변화로 측정하였다. 작동된 두 나노복합재료들의 연신율은 주파수가 증가함에 따라 감소하며, 반면에 전압의 증가에 따라 상승하였다. 각 나노복합재료의 나노구조 및 고유의 전기적 특성으로 인하여, CNT/PVDF가 ITO/PVDF 보다 자체-감지 및 작동기로서 더 적합하다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A 2.45 GHz microwave plasma with linear antenna has been prepared for hydrophobic and wear-resistible surface coating of carbon steel. Wear-resistible properties are required for the surface protection of cutting tools and achieved by depositing a hydrogenated amorphous carbon film on steel surface through linear microwave plasma source that has $TE_{10}-TEM$ waveguide. Compared to the existing RF plasma source driven by 13.56 MHz, linear microwave plasma source can easily generate high density plasma and provide faster deposition rate and wider process windows. In this study, $Ar/CH_4$ gas mixtures are used for hydrogenated amorphous carbon film deposition. When microwave power of 1000 W is applied, 40 cm long uniform $Ar/CH_4$ plasma could be obtained in gas pressure of 200~400 mTorr. The Vickers hardness measurement of hydrogenated amorphous carbon film on steel surface was evaluated. It was found the optimized deposition condition at $Ar:CH_4=25:25$ sccm, 300 mTorr with microwave power of 1000W and RF bias power of 100W. By deposition of hydrogenated amorphous carbon film, contact angle on steel surfaces increases from $43.9^{\circ}$ to $93.2^{\circ}$.

본 연구에서는 팽창흑연/탄소섬유 혼합 보강 전도성 고분자 복합재료를 2단계 성형 공법으로 제조하였으며, 탄소섬유의 첨가가 전도성 고분자 복합재료의 전기적, 기계적 특성에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 전도성 충진재들은 고분자 수지와 기계적으로 혼합되었으며 이를 통하여 복합재료가 전기적 특성을 가지도록 하였다. 팽창흑연은 입자 간 접촉 면적이 넓기 때문에 복합재료 내 전도성 네트워킹의 형성에 매우 유리하지만, 팽창흑연과 고분자 수지만을 사용하여 상기 공정으로 복합재료를 제조할 경우 우수한 기계적 강도를 얻기가 어렵다. 따라서 이를 보완하기 위하여 탄소섬유를 복합재료에 첨가하였으며 전기적 기계적 물성을 바탕으로 탄소섬유의 혼합 비율을 최적화하였다. 굽힘 강도는 탄소섬유의 충친 비율이 증가할수록 섬유에 의한 강화 효과에 의하여 증가 하지만, 32wt.% 이상에서는 오히려 감소하였다. 이는 여분의 탄소섬유들이 공극을 발생시켜 응력집중이 발생하기 때문으로 판단된다. 전기 전도도는 탄소섬유의 비율이 증가할수록 전도성 공백이 발생하고 팽창흑연의 전도성 네트워킹이 저해되기 때문에 계속 감소한다.

The SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites were fabricated by combining 30, 35, 40, 45 and 50 vol. % of zirconium diboride ($ZrB_2$) powders with silicon carbide (SiC) matrix. The SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites and the sintered compacts were produced through spark plasma sintering (SPS) under argon atmosphere, and its physical, electrical, and mechanical properties were examined. Also, the thermal image analysis of the SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites was examined. Reactions between $\beta$-SiC and $ZrB_2$ were not observed via x-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. The apparent porosity of the SiC+30vol.%$ZrB_2$, SiC+35vol.%$ZrB_2$, SiC+40vol.%$ZrB_2$, SiC+45vol.%$ZrB_2$ and SiC+50vol.%$ZrB_2$ composites were 7.2546, 0.8920, 0.6038, 1.0981, and 10.0108%, respectively. The XRD phase analysis of the sintered compacts demonstrated a high phase of SiC and $ZrB_2$. Among the $SiC+ZrB_2$ composites, the SiC+50vol.%$ZrB_2$ composite had the lowest flexural strength, 290.54MPa, the other composites had more than 980MPa flexural strength except the SiC+30vol.%$ZrB_2$ composite; the SiC+40vol.%$ZrB_2$ composite had the highest flexural strength, 1011.34MPa, at room temperature. The electrical properties of the SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites had positive temperature coefficient resistance (PTCR). The V-I characteristics of the SiC-$ZrB_2$ composites had a linear shape in the temperature range from room to $500^{\circ}C$. The electrical resistivities of the SiC+30vol.%$ZrB_2$, SiC+35vol.%$ZrB_2$, SiC+40vol.%$ZrB_2$ SiC+45vol.%$ZrB_2$ and SiC+50vol.%$ZrB_2$ composites were $4.573\times10^{-3}$, $1.554\times10^{-3}$, $9.365\times10^{-4}$, $6.999\times10^{-4}$, and $6.069\times10^{-4}\Omega{\cdot}cm$, respectively, at room temperature, and their resistance temperature coefficients were $1.896\times10^{-3}$, $3.064\times10^{-3}$, $3.169\times10^{-3}$, $3.097\times10^{-3}$, and $3.418\times10^{-3}/^{\circ}C$ in the temperature range from room to $500^{\circ}C$, respectively. Therefore, it is considered that among the sintered compacts the SiC+35vol.%$ZrB_2$, SiC+40vol.%$ZrB_2$ and SiC+45vol.%$ZrB_2$ composites containing the most outstanding mechanical properties as well as PTCR and V-I characteristics can be used as an energy friendly ceramic heater or ohmic-contact electrode material through SPS.

HVDC technology has become popular as an economic mode of bulk power transmission over very long distances. Polymeric insulators in HVDC power transmission lines are affected by surface tracking and erosion problems due to contamination deposit, which pose a greater challenge in maintaining the reliability of the HVDC system. In addition, polymeric insulators are also naturally affected by aging due to various environmental stresses, which in turn accelerates the surface tracking and erosion problems. Research works towards the improvement of tracking and erosion resistance of polymeric insulators by adding nano-sized fillers in the base material are being carried out worldwide. However, surface tracking and erosion performance of nano-filled aged polymeric insulators for HVDC applications are not well reported. Hence, in the present work, tracking and erosion resistance of the nano $Al(OH)_3$ filled silicone rubber insulation material has been evaluated under DC voltages at different filler concentrations and aged conditions, as per IEC 60587 test procedures. Leakage current and contact angle measurements were carried out to understand the surface hydrophobicity. Moving average technique was used to analyze the trend followed by leakage current. Water aged specimen shows less tracking resistance when compared with thermal aged specimen. It is observed that nano-filler concentration of 5% is even sufficient to get better tracking/erosion resistance under DC voltages.

Ag thick film has been used for electrode materials with the excellent conductivity. Ag electrode is used in screen-printed silicon solar cells as a electrode material. Compared to photolithography and buried-contact technology, screen-printing technology has the merit of fabricating low-priced cells and enormous cells in a few hours. Ag paste consists of Ag powders, vehicles and additives such as frits, metal powders (Pb, Bi, Zn). Frits accelerate the sintering of Ag powders and induce the connection between Ag electrode and Si wafer. Thermophysical properties of frits and reactions among Ag, frits and Si influence on cell performance. In this study, Ag pastes were fabricated with adding different kinds of frits. After Ag pastes were printed on silicon wafer by screen-printing technology, the cells were fired using a belt furnace. The cell parameters were measured by light I-V to determine the short-circuit current, open-circuit voltage, FF and cell efficiency. In order to study the relationship between the reactivity of Ag, frit, Si and the electrical properties of cells, the reaction of frits and Si wafer on was studied with thermal properties of frits. The interface structure between Ag electrode and Si wafer were also measured for understanding the reactivity of Ag, frit and Si wafer. The excessive reactivity of Ag, frit and Si wafer certainly degraded the electrical properties of cells. These preliminary studies suggest that reactions among Ag, frits and Si wafer should optimally be controlled for cell performances.

Purphose. This present study examines the effect of brief, intense transcutaneous electrical nerve stimulation(BTENS) on sensory nerve conduction, electrical pain threshold, and two-point discrimination measured at the superficial radial nevre distribution in 20 healthy subjects. Subjects. Twenty volunteercs, (10 females and 10 males(age range : 20-38 years : $mean{\pm}SD\;:\;27.00{\pm}5.12$), only subjects without prior traumatological and pathological were eligible to participated in this study. Methods. Nerve conduction were determined for the right superficial radial nerve. Electrical pain threshold were determined for the right wrist ipsilateral to the site of BTENS. Small disc electrodes were attached to the surface of the skin stradding the end of the radius. Square wave electrical pulses were delivered from an isolated stimulator through a constant current device at a frequency of 2 Hz(5 ms pulse width). Two-point discrimination, measured on the sensory distribution of superficial radial nerve. BTENS was delivered using a Max-SD( Medical design co.) portable battery powered stimulator. A cicular Ag/AgCl electrode in contact with hypertonic saline gel was attached to the lateral(radial side) surface of the forearm. Results. No significant effects were observed between stimulation methods in the prestimulation cycle(multi-way ANOVA repeated measures : distal latency ; F1.14=0.332. amplitude ; F 0.80=0.445, pain threshold ; F0.06=0.940.2 point discrimination ; F1.50=0.236). Highly significant effects were observed time with the pretreatment and 6 posttreatment cycles(p<0.01). Mighty significants differences in nerve conduction and pain threshold were found using un multi-way ANOVA repeated measures among stimulation methods for each cycles(p<0.01). Conclusion and Discussion The authors concludes that both nerve conduction and pain threshold changes are associated with therapy (stimulation) level of BTENS.

In order to give hydrophobic surface properties on carbon steel, the fluorinated amorphous carbon films were prepared by using linear 2.45GHz microwave PECVD device. Two different process approaches have been tested. One is direct deposition of a-C:H:F films using admixture of $Ar/CH_4/CF_4$ working gases and the other is surface treatment using $CF_4$ plasma after deposition of a-C:H film with $Ar/CH_4$ binary gas system. $Ar/CF_4$ plasma treated surface with high $CF_4$ gas ratio shows best hydrophobicity and durability of hydrophobicity. Nanometer scale surface roughness seems one of the most important factors for hydrophobicity within our experimental conditions. The properties of a-C:H:F films and $CF_4$ plasma treated a-C:H films were investigated in terms of surface roughness, hardness, microstructure, chemical bonding, atomic bonding structure between carbon and fluorine, adhesion and water contact angle by using atomic force microscopy (AFM), nano-indentation, Raman analysis and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).

본 논문에서는 전기설비의 전기적 접속부 또는 전기배선 등에서 발생하는 이상발열을 감지하는 방법에 대해 알아보고, 분전함에서의 발열상태를 실시간으로 모니터링하는 전력설비 진단시스템에 사용되고 있는 광온도센서에 대하여 동작특성을 실험, 분석하였다. 광온도센서의 동작특성 실험을 위한 열원으로는 Black Body와 Hot Plate를 사용하였으며 각각에서의 열원의 온도변화에 따른 광온도센서 출력전압값을 측정, 분석하였다. 그리고 분전함내 차단기 단자에서의 체결불량으로 인한 이상발열 감지 실험을 기존의 발열 감지방법인 열전대와 적외선 열화상장치를 이용하여 실시하였고, 광온도센서를 이용해 실시하여 결과를 비교 분석하였다. 실험결과, 광온도센서의 이상발열 감지능력이 유사함을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 분석 결과는 향후 RFID형 광온도센서를 이용한 전력설비 진단시스템의 현장 적용에 있어 기본 자료가 될 것으로 기대된다.

전기화재의 주된 원인은 단락 및 과부하 사고, 누전 및 접촉불량 등으로 구분되며, 화재의 발생요인은 이들 사고에서 동반되는 아크나 스파크로 인한 화재가 대다수이다. 저압배전선로에 사용되는 고감도형 누전차단기는 누전과 과부하를 검출하여 차단하는 기능은 있으나, 전기화재의 직접적인 위험요소인 아크나 스파크 현상에 대한 차단기능은 없는 것으로 분석된다. 이것은 저압 분전반에 적용되는 누전차단기의 경우 정격차단시간이 30[ms](KS C 4613)로 정해져 있어, 더욱 낮은 레벨로 주기적으로 발생되는 아크나 스파크를 감지하지 못하기 때문이다. 이러한 문제점을 개선하기 위하여 본 논문에서는 전기화재에 기인되는 아크나 스파크에 대해 누전차단기를 트립시키는 보조제어장치를 제안하고, 제안된 보조제어장치의 이론적 해석과 실험측정을 통해 그 타당성을 입증시킨다.
