본 연구에서는 "이온젤"이라고 불리는 고분자 기반의 PVA(polyvinyl alcohol)-$H_3PO_4$의 고체 전해질에 이온성 액체 $BMIMBF_4$ (1-buthyl-3-methylimidazolium tetrafluoroborate)를 첨가하여 제조한 전고체 전해질과 환원된 그래핀 옥사이드/전도성 고분자 복합재료 기반의 전극 재료를 이용하여 유연성을 갖는 슈퍼커패시터를 제작 하였으며, 유연성에 따른 전기화학적 특성을 분석하여 보았다. 환원된 그래핀 옥사이드/전도성 고분자 복합재료와 전고체 전해질 기반의 유연성 슈퍼커패시터의 전기화학적 특성을 유연성에 따라서 측정하기 위해서 프레스로 $0.01kg/cm^2$의 일정한 압력으로 최대 100회 까지 굽힘 시험(bending test)을 진행 하였으며, 0~100 회의 굽힘 시험 이후에 순환 전압전류법(CV), 전기화학적 임피던스 분광법(EIS) 및 전정류 충 방전법(GCD)을 통하여 비교 및 분석하여 보았다. 그 결과로, 유연성 슈퍼커패시터의 초기 전기용량은 43.9 F/g으로 확인 할 수 있었고, 이 값은 50회, 100회의 굽힘 시험 후에 각각 42.0F/g, 40.1F/g로 감소하는 현상을 확인할 수 있었다. 이러한 결과로 미루어 보아 물리적인 응력이 슈퍼 커패시터의 전기화학적 특성 감소에 영향을 주는 것으로 사료되며 또한, 굽힘 횟수에 따른 슈퍼커패시터의 전기화학적 특성 감소 원인을 확인하기 위해서 굽힘 시험 전과 후의 전극표면을 전자주사 현미경으로 관찰하여 보았다.

최근 웨어러블 디바이스에 대한 수요가 증가하면서 유연 전극 소재 개발에 대한 다양한 연구들이 진행되고 있다. 특히, 헬스케어용 웨어러블 센서들은 체온이나 심장 박동, 혈당, 혈중 산소 농도 등 신체 정보들의 실시간·지속적인 모니터링과 정확한 진단, 검출이 가능해야 하기 때문에 고성능 유연 전극 소재의 개발이 무엇보다 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 탄소나노튜브 섬유(carbon nanotube fiber; CNT fiber) 기반의 유연 전극 소재의 성능을 개선시키기 위해 CNT fiber 위에 전기화학적 중합(electrochemical polymerization) 공정을 통해 polyaniline (PANI) layer를 합성하고, 이에 대한 전기화학적 특성 분석과 비효소적 글루코스(glucose) 검출 특성을 확인하였다. 제작된 PANI/CNT fiber 전극의 표면 분석은 주사전자 현미경(SEM)을 이용하여 진행되었으며, 전극의 전기화학적 특성 및 글루코스에 대한 센싱 성능은 시간대전류법(CA)과 순환전압 전류법(CV), 전기화학 임피던스법(EIS)을 이용하여 분석되었다. PANI/CNT fiber 전극의 전기화학적 특성은 bare CNT fiber 전극에 비해 작은 electron transfer resistance와 낮은 peak separation potential, 증가된 전극 면적을 나타내며, 이런 향상된 특성들 덕분에 글루코스 검출에 대한 센싱 성능이 개선되었다. 따라서, 본 연구를 기반으로 다양한 나노구조체를 도입하고 접목을 통해 고성능 CNT fiber 기반의 유연 전극 소재 개발이 가능할 것으로 기대된다.

Recently, importance has been increased on the study of Organic User Interface (OUI) that conducts research on the value of new method of input and output adopting soft and flexible materials for various instruments. Method: For fulfillment of the study, 27 kinds of gestures have been defined that are usable in handheld device based on existing studies. Quantitative research of survey was conducted of adult male and female of 20s through 30s and an analysis was done on the function that can be linked to gestures with highest level of satisfaction. In order to analyze needs and hurdles of users for the defined gesture, a focus group interview was conducted aiming at the groups of early adopters and ordinary users. Results: As a result, it was found that users have much value regarding usability and fun for elastic device and analysis could be conducted on preferred gesture and its linkable functions. Conclusion: What is most significant with this study is that it sheds new light on the values of a device made of elastic material. Beyond finding and defining the gestures and functions that can be applied to a handheld elastic device, the present study identified the value elements of an elastic device - 'usability and 'fun' -, which users can basically desire from using it. Application: The data that this study brought forth through preference and satisfaction test with the gestures and associated functions will help commercialize an elastic device in future.

Smart material such as SMA (Shape Memory Alloy) has been studied in various ways because it can perform continuous, flexible, and complex actuation in simple structure. Smart soft composite (SSC) was developed to achieve large deformation of smart material. In this paper, a shell actuator using woven type SSC was developed to enhance stiffness of the structure while keeping its deformation capacity. The fabricated actuator consisted of a flexible polymer and woven structure which contains SMA wires and glass fibers. The actuator showed various actuation motions by controlling a pattern of applied electricity because the SMA wires are embedded in the structure as fibers. To verify the actuation ability, we measured its maximum end-edge bending angle, twisting angle, and actuating force, which were $103^{\circ}$, $10^{\circ}$, and 0.15 N, respectively.

We studied the influence of cathode material on the stability of organic phtovoltaics (OPVs). OPVs with LiF/Al and Ag/Ca/Ag cathode were fabricated and the stability were evaluated. The sample with LiF/Al cathode showed efficiency degradation from 2.42% to 2.04% during 50 days. On the other hand, the sample with Ag/Ca/Ag cathode showed more steeper efficiency degradation from 2.38% to 0.80% during 50 days. The different of degradation can be attributed to a larger increase of series resistance ($R_s$) in Ag/Ca/Ag cathode sample.

Modem automated manufacturing processes employ automated guided vehicles(AGVs) for material handling, which serve several machining centers(MCs) in a factory. Optimal scheduling of AGVs can significantly help to increase the efficiency of the manufacturing process by minimizing the idle time of MCs waiting for the raw materials. In this paper, we will analyse the requirements for an optimal schedule and then provide a mathematical framework for an efficient schedule of material delivery by an AGV. With this model, the optimal number of MCs to be utilized will also be determined. Finally, the material delivery schedule employing multiple journeys to the MCs by the AGV will be carried out. Through rigorous analysis and simulation experiments, we shall show that such a delivery strategy will optimize the overall performance.

Recently, natural fiber reinforced composite is attracting attention and considered as an environmentally friendly material. Usually cellulosic fibers are used to reinforce the composites, but some protein fibers such as silk and wool serve the same purpose. In this paper, we proposed a method of producing artistic composite from artistic fabric by using silk fiber reinforced biodegradable plastic, which is designated as 'silk composite', for reinforcement. In order to expand applications of the silk composite, we performed the compression molding of decorative laminates with woody material, which was selected as a core material, and examined the properties of molded decorative laminates with various content of the silk composite. Since plywood and medium-density fiberboard (MDF) are widely used for decorative laminates, we selected them as core materials. As a result, flexible decorative laminates with high flexural strength were obtained by compounding the silk composite with wood materials.

It is well known that Zinc Oxide (ZnO) is an attractive material for its various applications. ZnO has been mostly used as a transparent conducting oxide in liquid crystal displays, solar cells due to its advantages of low cost, high productivity, and excellent electrical conductivity. Notably, flexible-dye-sensitized solar cells (DSSCs) based on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates require low temperature sintering processing conditions. Therefore, low temperature processing conditions have been strongly required for transparent conducting film applications. In this paper, we prepared low temperature-sintered ZnO ceramics employing Li as a sintering aid.

The bending vibration and thermal flutter instability of spacecraft booms modeled as circular thin-walled beams of closed cross-section and subjected to thermal radiation loading is investigated in this paper. Thermally induced vibration response characteristics of a composite thin walled beam exhibiting the circumferantially uniform system(CUS) configuration are exploited in connection with the structural flapwise bending-lagwise bending coupling resulting from directional properties of fiber reinforced composite materials and from ply stacking sequence. The numerical simulations display deflection time-history as a function of the ply-angle of fibers of the composite materials, damping factor, incident angle of solar heat flux, as well as the boundary of the thermal flutter instability domain. The adaptive control are provided by a system of piezoelectric devices whose sensing and actuating functions are combined and that an bonded or embedded into the host structure.

Idea of using piezoelectric materials with flexible structures made of rubber-like materials is quite novel. In this study a non-linear finite element model based on updated Lagrangian (UL) approach has been developed for dynamic response and its control of rubber-elastic material with surface-bonded PVDF patches/layers. A compressible stain energy density function has been used for the modeling of the rubber component. The results obtained are compared with available analytical solutions and other published results in some cases. Some results are reported as new results which will be useful for future references since the number of published results is not sufficient.
