Various surface texturing techniques have been studied because of the effective applicability of micro or nano scale surface patterns. Particularly, the most promising types of patterns include the hierarchical patterns, which consists of micro/nano structures. Different processes such as MEMS, laser machining, micro cutting and micro grinding have been applied in the production of hierarchical patterns on various material surfaces. This study demonstrates the process of hot imprinting to induce the hierarchical patterns on the Al alloy surfaces. Wire electrical discharge machining (WEDM) process was used to imprint molds with micro scale sinusoidal pattern. In addition, the sinusoidal pattern with rough surface morphology was obtained as a result of the discharge craters. Consequently, the hierarchical patterns consisting of the sinusoidal pattern and the discharge craters were prepared on the imprinting mold surface. Hot imprinting process for the Al plates was conducted on the prepared mold, and the replication performance was analyzed. As a result, it was confirmed that the hierarchical patterns of the mold were effectively duplicated on the surface of Al plate.

Nano-micro hierarchical structures that nanoprotrusions were formed on the network-type microstructures were fabricated using an ultrasonic vibration forming technology. A commercial ultrasonic welding system was used to apply ultrasonic vibration energy. To evaluate the formability of ultrasonic vibration forming, nickel nano-micro hierarchical mold was fabricated and polyethylene (PE) was used as the replication material. The optimal molding time was 3.5 sec for PE nano-micro hierarchical structures. The molding process was conducted at atmospheric pressure.

A simple method is presented for fabricating micro/nanoscale combined hierarchical structures using a two-step UV-assisted capillary molding technique. This lithographic method consists of two steps: (i) fabrication of partially cured polymer microstructures using a PDMS mold and (ii) subsequent nanofabrication using a high-resolution polyurethane acrylate (PUA) mold on top of the pre-formed microstructures. Using this technique, various micro/nano hierarchical structures were fabricated with minimum resolution down to 70 nm over a large area with very good reproducibility.

One of the challenges in tissue engineering is the design of optimal biomedical scaffolds, which can be governed by topographical surface characteristics, such as size, shape, and direction. Of these properties, we focus on the effects of nano - to micro - sized hierarchical surface. To fabricate the hierarchical surface structure on poly(${\varepsilon}$-caprolactone) (PCL) film, we employed a nano/micro-casting technique (NCT) and modified plasma process. The micro size topography of PCL film was controlled by sizes of the micro structures on lotus leaf. Also, the nano-size topography and hydrophilicity of PCL film were controlled by modified plasma process. After the plasma treatment, the hydrophobic property of the PCL film was significantly changed into hydrophilic property, and the nano-sized structure was well developed, as increasing the plasma exposure time and applied power. The surface properties of the modified PCL film were investigated in terms of initial cell morphology, attachment, and proliferation using osteoblast-like-cells (MG63). In particular, initial cell attachment, proliferation and osteogenic differentiation in the hierarchical structure were enhanced dramatically compared to those of the smooth surface.

In this study, approached to improve durability of the multi-functional nano-pattern fabricated on the curved lens surface using nanoimprint lithography (NIL) was proposed, and the effects of the proposed methods on functionality after wear test were examined. To improve the mechanical property of ultraviolet(UV)-curable resin, UV-NIL was conducted at the elevated temperature around $60^{\circ}C$. In addition, micro/nano hierarchical structures was fabricated on the lens surface with a durable film mold. Analysis on the worn surfaces of nano-hole pattern and hierarchical structures and measurements on the static water contact angle and critical water volume for roll-off indicated that the UV curing process with elevated temperature is effective to maintain wettability by increasing hardness of resin. Also, it was found that the micro-scale pattern is effective to protect nano-pattern from damage during wear test.

Oxalic acid를 이용한 양극산화기법과 테플론 담금법을 이용하여 극소수성 나노/마이크로 구조물을 복제하였다. 이때 nanoscale hole의 사이즈는 양극산화시의 전압과 양극산화시간에 의해 결정된다. nanoscale에서 분자들 사이에 영향을 미치는 Van der Waals interactions에 의해서 복제 중 polymer sticking 현상이 발생한다. 이는 복제된 나노 구조물들이 서로 들러붙고 구부러지고 침강시키는 작용을 하게 된다. 이러한 현상이 microstructures위에 nanostructures가 존재하는 hierarchical structure가 생성되게 하며, 이러한 구조물은 연꽃잎의 미세구조물과 유사한 특성을 보인다. 즉 제작된 극소수성 나노/마이크로 구조물 표면은 접촉각이 $160^{\circ}{\sim}170^{\circ}$정도로 나타내고 또한 $1^{\circ}$미만의 sliding angle을 나타낸다.

본 연구에서는 디스플레이에 적용되는 기능성 고분자 필름의 나노구조에 의한 기계적 물성 저하 문제를 해결하기 위해 열처리 방법과 멀티스케일 계층구조를 통한 PMMA(Poly(methyl-methacrylate)) 필름의 내구성 향상에 대해 연구하였다. PMMA 필름의 기계적 특성을 향상시키기 위한 열처리 공정은 고온/고압의 자유제적 제어공정과 고온 공정 후 급속히 냉각시키는 공정으로 구성되어 있으며, 열 나노임프린트를 이용하여 스크래치로부터 나노구조를 보호하기 위한 멀티스케일 계층구조를 형성하였다. 연필경도 시험에 의해 발생한 미세구조의 손상에 대한 평가를 위해 표면 형상 변화와 기능성 변화를 평가하였으며, 이를 통하여 열처리와 멀티스케일 계층구조가 스크래치에 의한 정접촉각 감소와 투과율 손실 저감에 효과적임을 확인하였다.

인공 건식 접착 구조를 위한 새로운 마이크로-나노 계층구조 제작기법을 제안하였으며, 모세관법을 활용한 마이크로 구조 내 나노 소재 정렬에 대한 기초 연구를 수행하였다. 다중 벽 탄소나노튜브(MWCNT)와 폴리디메틸실록산(PDMS) 혼합물의 제작 조건에 따른 경화도 및 점도 특성을 분석하고, 이로부터 몇 가지 제작 조건을 결정하였다. MWCNT-PDMS 마이크로 구조 제작 후 단면 분석을 통해 PDMS내 MWCNT의 정렬 특성을 분석한 결과, 제작 온도와 상대 경화도가 낮을 경우 MWCNT의 정렬도가 우수하며, 단위 면적당 MWCNT의 밀도는 제작 온도나 상대 경화도에 영향을 적게 받는 것으로 확인되었다.

Nanoscale observation of attachment systems of animals has revealed various exquisite multiscale architectures for essential functions such as gecko's locomotion, beetles' wing fixation, octopuses' sucking and crawling. In particular, the hierarchical 3-dimensional hexanonal nano-architectures in the tree frog's adhesion is known to have the capability of the enhancement of adhesion forces on the wet or rough surfaces due to the conformal contacts against rough surfaces and water-drainable micro channels. Here, we report that tree frog-inspired patches using unique artificial 3-dimensional hexagonal structures can be exploited to form reversibly enhanced adhesion against various highly curved and rough surfaces in dry and wet condition. To investigate the adhesion effect of micro-channels, we changed the arrangement of microstructure and spacing gaps between micro-channels. In addition, we introduced the 3-dimensional hexagonal hierarchical architectures to artificial patches to enhance to conformal contacts on the various rough surfaces such as skin and organs. Using the robust adhesion properties, we demonstrated the self-drainable and comfortable skin-attachable devices which can measure EKG (electrokardiogramme) for in-vitro diagnostics. As a result, bio-inspired programmable nano-architectures can be applied in versatile devices such as, medical patches, skin-attachable electronics etc., which would shed light on future smart, directional and reversible adhesion systems.
