This study focuses on the effect of the elasticity modulus of jig material on blade edge shape in the grinding process of a sapphire medical knife. The ELID grinding process was applied as the edge-grinding method for sapphire material. Carbon steel and copper have been selected as the hard and soft jig materials, respectively. The blade edge created by ELID grinding was measured by a surface roughness tester and optical microscope. The shape of the ground edge and surface roughness were compared using the measurement results. As a result, it was found that chipping in the blade edge of the sapphire knife occurred more than in the case of jig material with a high-elasticity modulus because of the high normal force in the grinding process. Moreover, the maximum height surface roughness, $R_{max}$,of the ground surface was higher in the case of the jig material with a high-elasticity modulus due to the difference in elasticelongation. It was considered to lead to chipping from the notch effect.

Iron nanoparticles were made by using the modified coprecipitation technique. Usually the characteristics of synthesised particles depend upon the process parameters such as the ratio of the iron ions, the pH of the solution, the molar concentration of base used, type of reactants and temperature. A modified coprecipitation method was adopted in this study. A magnetic stirrer was used for mixing and the morphology and nature of particles were observed after synthesis. Nanoparticles were characterised through XRD. Obtained nanoparticles showed the formation of magnetite and maghemite under citric acid and oxalic acid as stabilisers respectively. The size of nanoparticle was greatly affected by the use of different types of stabilisers. Results show that citric acid greatly reduced the obtained particle size. Particle size as small as 13 nm was obtained in this study. The effects of different kinds of nucleating agents were also observed and two different types of nucleating agents were used i.e. potassium hydroxide (KOH) and copper chloride ($CuCl_2$). Results show that the use of nucleating agent in general pushes the growth phase of nanoparticles towards the end of coprecipitation reaction. The particles obtained after addition of nucleating agent were greater in size than particles obtained by not utilising any nucleating agent. These particles have found widespread use in medical sciences, energy conservation and electronic sensing technology.

Solvothermal treatment of late transition metal acetylacetonates in a novel medium composed either of pure acetophenone or acetophenone mixtures with amino alcohols offers a general approach to uniform hydrophilic metal nanoparticles with high crystallinity and low degree of aggregation. Both pure metal and mixed-metal particles can be accesses by this approach. The produced materials have been characterized by SEM-EDS, TEM, FTIR in the solid state and by Nanoparticle Tracking Analysis in solutions. The chemical mechanisms of the reactions producing nanoparticles has been followed by NMR. Carrying out the process in pure acetophenone produces palladium metal, copper metal with minor impurity of $Cu_2O$, and NiO. The synthesis starting from the mixtures of Pd and Ni acetylacetonates with up to 20 mol% of Pd, renders in minor yield the palladium-based metal alloy along with nickel oxide as the major phase. Even the synthesis starting from a mixed solution of $Cu(acac)_2$ and $Ni(acac)_2$ produces oxides as major products. The situation is improved when aminoalcohols such as 2-aminoethanol or 2-dimethylamino propanol are added to the synthesis medium. The particles in this case contain metallic elements and pairs of individual metals (not metal alloys) when produced from mixed precursor solutions in this case.

본 연구에서는 산화구리(CuO) 나노분말과 순수 물을 혼합하여 제조한 나노유체를 이용하여 가열된 고체표면에 있어서 나노유체 액적의 증발특성에 대한 실험적 연구를 수행하였다. 실험결과로부터 가열된 표면에서 나노유체 액적의 증발속도는 순수 물 액적보다 증발속도가 약간 증가하는 경향이 있음을 알 수 있었으며, 이는 나노유체에 포함된 나노입자가 유체의 열전도도를 향상시켜 고체 표면에서 액적으로의 열전달이 촉진되었기 때문인 것으로 판단된다. 또한 고체의 표면조도가 커질수록 액적의 증발속도가 약간 증가하였으며, 이는 고체의 표면조도가 커질수록 고체-액체의 접촉 면적이 증가하여 열전달이 촉진되었기 때문인 것으로 추정된다.

현대 반도체 금속배선 연구에서는 기존에 쓰이던 Al (Aluminium) 금속배선 대신에 Cu(Copper) 금속배선 연구가 진행 되고 있다. Cu는 Al 보다 비저항이 낮고, 녹는점도 Al보다 높다는 장점이 있지만 저온에서 기판인 Si (Silicon) 과 반응하고 접착력이 우수하지 못 하다는 단점이 있다. 이런 문제를 해결하기 위하여 확산방지막을 기판과 금속배선 사이에 삽입하는 방법이 제시 되었다. 확산방지막으로는 기존에 쓰이던 Ti (Titanium) 계열의 확산방지막과 W (Tungsten) 계열의 확산방지막이 있다. 이번 연구에서는 W 계열의 확산방지막에 불순물 C (Carbon), N(Nitrogen)을 첨가한 W-C-N 확산방지막 시편을 제조하였고, N2의 비율을 변화시키며 $600^{\circ}C$ 열처리를 하였다. 실험 결과 질소의 포함 농도에 따라 확산방지막의 안정도가 변화한다는 결과를 얻었으며, 질소 첨가량에 따라 시편의 표면 보다는 시편의 중간층의 물성 변화율이 큰데 이는 시편 표면의 질소는 열처리 중 확산에 의한 시편과의 분리 현상이 일어나지만 시편의 중간층은 trap현상에 의하여 시편에 남아있어 질소의 영향을 받아 시편의 중간층이 더욱 질소 유량에 따른 영향이 큰 것을 확인하였다. 이 결과로부터 W-C-N 박막은 첨가된 질소의 유량에 따라 박막의 안정도가 결정된 다는 것을 알았다. 본 연구에서 시편은 rf magnetron sputtering 방법으로 제작하였고 연속압입 실험은 Hysitron사의 Triboindenter를 이용하였다. Indenting에 사용된 압입팁은 Berkovich tip을 사용하였다.

Introduction of CNTs into a metal matrix has been considered to improve the mechanical properties of the metal matrix. However, the binding energy between metals and pristine CNTs wall is known to be so small that the interfacial slip between CNTs and the matrix occurs at a relatively low external stress. The interfacial strength between CNT and metal matrix is thus one of the key factors for successful development of the CNT/metal composites. Defective or functionalized CNT has been considered to enhance the interfacial strength of nanocomposites. In the present work, we design the various realistic hybrid structures of the single wall CNT/Cu complexes and characterize the interaction between single wall CNTs and Cu nano-particle and Cu13 cluster using first principle calculations. The characteristics of functionalized CNTs with various surface functional groups, such as -COOH, -OH, and -O interacting with Cu are investigated. We found that the binding energy can be enhanced by the surface functional group including oxygen since the oxygen atom can mediate and reinforce the interaction between carbon and Cu. These results strongly support the recent experimental work which suggested the oxygen on the interface playing an important role in the excellent mechanical properties of the CNT/Cu composite.

Insulation breakdown characteristics of an inverter surge resistant enameled wire were investigated in a twisted pair prepared with organic/inorganic hybrid nanocomposite. Organic polymer was polyesterimide-polyamideimide (EI/AI) and inorganic material was a nano-sized silica. The enamel thickness was 50 μm and the diameters of enameled copper wires were 0.75, 1.024, and 1.09 mm, respectively. There were many air gaps in a twisted pair. Therefore, when the voltage was applied to the twisted pair, enamel erosion took place in the air gap area because of partial discharge according to Paschen’s law. The insulation lifetime of the hybrid wire (HW) was 41,750 sec, which was 515.4 times more than the 81 sec of EI/AIW. In addition, the shape parameter of HW was 2.58, which was 3.4 times higher than 0.75 of EI/AIW.

This research is about the drying and curing characteristic of conductivity metallic ink on-line curing device in order to improve the curing time for productivity in RFID Gravure printing. The curing process is carried out to increase the electric conductivity after the metallic ink is printed on the substrate. The metal ink is composed of nano-sized silver or copper particles. In this research, the combined IR and Hot air curing system is used and its results is compared with those of oven, IR and Hot Air type respectively. Generally the curing time in the past is about 3 minutes. But the combined system (IR+Hot Air) in this research shows that curing time is less than 30 seconds. These results is much faster than those of other system. This study can be help to make Roll-to-Roll drying and curing process for mass and continuous production on-line.

Infiltration is a popular technique used to produce valve seat rings and guides to create dense parts. In order to develop valve seat material with a good thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient, Cu-infiltrated properties of sintered Fe-Co-M(M=Mo,Cr) alloy systems are studied. It is shown that the copper network that forms inside the steel alloy skeleton during infiltration enhances the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient of the steel alloy composite. The hard phase of the CoMoCr and the network precipitated FeCrC phase are distributed homogeneously as the infiltrated Cu phase increases. The increase in hardness of the alloy composite due to the increase of the Co, Ni, Cr, and Cu contents in Fe matrix by the infiltrated Cu amount increases. Using infiltration, the thermal conductivity and thermal expansion coefficient were increased to 29.5 W/mK and $15.9um/m^{\circ}C$, respectively, for tempered alloy composite.
