  • In this paper, the electrochemical behavior of Viologen self assembly monolayer has been investigated with QCM, which has been known as nano-gram order mass detector. The self assemvly process of Viologen was monitored using resonant frequency $({\Delta}F)$ and resonant resistance(R). QCM measurements indicated a mass adsorption for Viologen assembling on the gold sufrace with a frequency change about 135[Hz] and calculated its surface coverage($\Gamma$) to be $3.5273{\times}10^{-9}[mol/cm^{2}]$. Also reversible redox process was observed and analyzed with ionic interaction at the Viologen/solution interface using ${\Delta}F$.

  • During past decades, several types of peptide-based scaffolds, ranging from simple aromatic dipeptide to small protein fragments, have been studied to understand the underlying mechanism and mimic to create artificial nano/microstructures. However, a limited number of design principles have still been reported in peptidic scaffolds allowing well-defined self-assembled structure formation, presumably due to the intrinsic large conformational flexibility of natural peptides. In this presentation, we report the first example of highly homogeneous, well-defined and finite architectures by the ${\beta}$-peptide self-assembly.

  • This paper is about the assembly of camera modules for mobile phones. We have particularly researched the assembly process proper for mega-pixel lens assemblies in the camera modules. Herein, we propose that self-adjustment function makes it possible to assemble these lens assemblies without fraction of components. In advance, we observed the assembly process of the lens assemblies to verify the possibility, and checked out it through experiments based on some assumptions.

  • An amphiphilic diacetylene compound was deposited on the surface of nano sized magnetite particles ($Fe_3O_4$) using a self-assembly method. The diacetylene molecular assembly formed on the surface of nanoparticle was subjected to photopolymerization. This resulted in the formation of a polymeric assembly on the surface of the nanoparticles in which the adjacent diacetylene molecules were connected through conjugated covalent networks. The presence of immobilized polymer species on the surface of nanoparticles is expected to protect them from agglomeration and ripening, thereby stabilizing their physical properties. In this work, $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles were prepared by chemical coprecipitation method and the diacetylene molecule 10,12- pentacosadiynoic acid (PCDA) was anchored to the surface of $Fe_3O_4$ nanoparticles through its carboxylate head group. Irradiation of UV light on the nanoparticles containing immobilized diacetylenes resulted in the formation of a polymeric assembly. Presence of diacetylene molecules on the surface of nanoparticles was confirmed by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy and FT-IR measurements. Photopolymerization of the diacetylene assembly was detected by UV-Visible spectroscopy. Magnetic properties of the nanoparticles coated with polymeric assembly were investigated with SQUID and magnetic hysteresis showed superparamagnetic behaviors. The results put forward a simple and effective method for achieving polymer coating on the surface of magnetic nanoparticle.
