  • 최근 바이오매스를 친환경 소재로 활용하기 위한 연구개발 및 응용연구가 세계적으로 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 바이오매스를 기반으로 한 대표적인 친환경 소재는 바이오복합재료로서 현재 자동차의 내 외장재료로 사용되고 있으며 응용분야가 전자재료, 포장재료 등으로 다양하게 확대되고 있다. 바이오매스는 이산화탄소 흡수원일 뿐만 아니라 바이오매스를 이용한 바이오복합재료는 경량재료로서 자동차에 사용될 때 연비향상에 의해 이산화탄소 저감에 크게 기여할 수 있다. 최근에는 바이오매스를 기반으로 하여 고강도 특성 등 기존재료에 비해 우수한 특성을 가지는 나노소재를 제조하고 이를 다양한 에너지소재로 활용하기 위한 연구도 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 바이오매스를 기반으로 한 친환경 소재로서 바이오매스를 기반으로 한 바이오복합재료 및 친환경 나노소재의 연구동향 및 응용분야에 대해 소개하고자 한다.

  • As concrete is most usable material in construction industry it's been required to improve its quality. Nowadays, nanotechnology offers the possibility of great advances in construction. For the first time, the nonlinear buckling of straight concrete columns armed with single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs) resting on foundation is investigated in the present study. The column is modelled with Euler-Bernoulli beam theory. The characteristics of the equivalent composite being determined using the Mori-Tanaka model. The foundation around the column is simulated with spring and shear layer. Employing nonlinear strains-displacements, energy methods and Hamilton's principal, the governing equations are derived. Differential quadrature method (DQM) is used in order to obtain the buckling load of structure. The influences of volume percent of SWCNTs, geometrical parameters, elastic foundation and boundary conditions on the buckling of column are investigated. Numerical results indicate that reinforcing the concrete column with SWCNTs, the structure becomes stiffer and the buckling load increases with respect to concrete column armed with steel.

  • A cheallenge in the aerospace field is to design new composites satisfying specific and sometimes conflicting properties. The key steps are ⅰ)the understanding and the control of the reaction between the reinforcement and the embedding matrix, ⅱ) the achievement of a coherent and robust matrix. The problems encountered to prepare particulate, 1D, 2D and 3D reinforced composites using polymeric are discussed. Emphasis is given to the control of the micro/nanostructure using Raman microspectrometry and depth-sensing microindentation, in order to get information on the micromechanics and fiber structure simultaneously, within ceramic (CMC's) and metal matrix (MMC's) composites.

  • During last years, large investments have been directed to development and research of nano-technological products like semiconductor, display panel, optic-fiber communication components, life technology, and ultra-precision components. All quantitative measurements at nanometre scale should guarantees accurate results and high quality. Laser interferometer is one of most famous nanometre scale devices to be able to measure metre-scale distance with nanometre scale resolution, but it is easily affected by various error causes like geometrical, instrumental and environmental factor. On the other side, capacitive sensor is robust to above error factors, but it is able to measure relatively shorter distance, under $100{\mu}m$, than laser interferometer. New error correction method for laser interferometry using capacitive sensor will be introduced in this paper.

  • We examined the antimicrobial effects of the cotton fabrics which were laundered at different conditions and treated with a colloidal silver solution using Staphylococcus aureus. Colloidal silver solution was made from commercial colloidal silver generator by electrolysis. The fabric which was innoculated and washed with water before drying had no more Staphylococcus aureus, but which was innoculated and dried before washing with detergent solution had lower reduction rate. The fabric washed with oxygen bleach did not have an antimicrobial effect, but rinsed with 0.07% fabric softener showed antimicrobial properties. The fabric rinsed with 0.7ppm colloidal silver solution had better antimicrobial effects. As the treating concentration of silver solution increased, the antimicrobial property of the fabric was increased. The fabric treated with 5% silver solution sustained reflectance and whiteness of untreated fabric. The colloidal silver treated fabric lost antimicrobial property after washing because nano-sized silver particles were located on uneven fiber surface without chemical bonding forces.

  • Precision stage is essential device for semiconductor equipments, fiber optic assembly systems and micro machines. In this paper, we develop a piezo-electric inchworm type actuator for long stroke ultra precision linear stages, and implement a controller to interface with commercial motion controllers. It provides fast implementation of precise position control system substituting for rotary motor. In the future, using a laser interferometer as a position sensor, we plan to implement a nano meter precision stage.

  • The viscosity effect of matrix polymer on melt exfoliation behavior of an organoclay in poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (PCL) was investigated. The viscosity of matrix polymer was controlled by changing the molecular weight of poly($\varepsilon$-eaprolactone), the processing temperature, and the rotor speed of a mini-molder. Applied shear stress facilitates the diffusion of polymer chains into the gallery of silicate layers by breaking silicate agglomerates down into smaller primary particles. When the viscosity of PCL is lower, silicate agglomerates are not perfectly broken into smaller primary particles. At higher viscosity, all of silicate agglomerates are broken down into primary particles, and finally into smaller nano-scale building blocks. It was also found that the degree of exfoliation of silicate layers is dependent upon not only the viscosity of matrix but thermodynamic variables.

  • Nanoimprint lithography (NIL) is a nanofabrication method known to be a low cost method of fabricating nanoscale patterns as small as 6 m. This study is focused on understanding physical phenomena in the embossing of nano/micro scale structures with 100 nm minimum feature size. We present the effects of capillary force and width of stamp groove on flow behavior at the embossing stage through numerical experimentation. We also compare our numerical results with previous experimental results and discuss our results.

  • In this study, cell performance and thermal stability of lithium-ion cells with a polyimide (PI) separator are investigated. In comparison to conventional polyethylene (PE) separator, the PI separator exhibits distinct advantage in microporous structure, leading to superior reliability of the cell. The cells with PI separator exhibit good cell performances as same as the cells with PE separator, but their reliability was superior to the cell with PE separator. Especially in the hot-box test at 150 and 180℃, PI separator showed a contraction percentage close to 0% at 150℃, while the PE separator showed a contraction percentage greater than 10% in both width and length. Therefore, the PI separator can be the promising candidate for separators of the next generation of lithium-ion battery.

  • This study examined the effect of nanoclays on the shape memory behavior of polyurethane (PU) in fibrous form. A cation was introduced into the PU molecules to disperse the organo-nanoclay (MMT) into poly($\varepsilon$-caprolactone) (PCL)-based PU (PCL-PU). The MMT/PCL-PU nanocomposites were then spun into fibers through melt-processing. The shape memory performance of the spun fibers was examined using a variety of thermo-mechanical tests including a new method to determine the transition temperature of shape memory polymers. The MMTs showed an improved the fixity strain rate of the MMT /PCL- PU fibers but a slight decrease in their recovery strain rate. This was explained by the limited movement of PU molecules due to the presence of nanoclays. The shape memory performance of the MMT/PCL-PU fibers was not enhanced significantly by the nanoclays. However, their recovery power was improved significantly up to a strain of approximately 50%.
