친환경 복합단열재를 개발하기 위하여 천연섬유질과 다공성 세라믹볼을 심재로, 활성황토를 결합재로 사용하였다. 물/결합재비 및 심재/결합재비를 다양하게 변화시켜 공시체를 제작하였으며, 공시체의 제 물성을 조사하기 위하여 압축강도, 휨강도, 흡수성, 내열수성, 세공분석, 열전도율 및 SEM에 의한 미세조직 관찰을 실시하였다. 그 결과 최대 압축강도는 물/결합재비와 심재/결합재비에 따라 다양하게 나타났으나 휨강도는 심재/결합재비가 증가될수록 물/결합재비에 관계없이 높게 나타났다. 내열수성시험 후에 측정한 압축 및 휨강도는 내열수성시험 전에 측정한 값에 비하여 압축 및 휨강도 모두 현저하게 저하되었다. 내열수성시험 후에 측정한 세공분석에서 결합재의 수화반응이 촉진됨으로서 세공의 평균직경, 총세공량 및 공극률은 감소되었으나 밀도는 증가되었다. 열전도율은 심재/결합재비가 증가될수록 낮아졌다. 복합단열재의 단열성과 기계적강도가 우수하여 실용화에 문제가 없는 것으로 평가되었다.

In this paper, EPR (ethylene propylene rubber) insulation material was accelerated degradation test at $121^{\circ}C$, $136^{\circ}C$, $151^{\circ}C$, and experiment the typical EAB (elongation at break) at mechanical characteristics analysis. It is shown that the failure-time at the point of 50% of the initial value of Elongation rate to obtain the activation energy. The failure-time was shown each 5,219 hr, 3,165 hr, and 668 hr at three temperatures. In order to derive the activation energy, Arrhenius methodology was applied. Also, we got the Arrhenius plot from three accelerated temperatures. The activation energy values got 0.98 eV from EAB test. The experimental data were evaluated for estimating the probability density, and the suitable distribution by using statistical program MINITAB. It is shown that EAB data by the acceleration thermal degradation is most suitable for the Weibull distribution.

In this paper we present an implantable pressure sensor to measure real-time blood pressure by monitoring mechanical movement of artery. Sensor is composed of inductors (L) and capacitors (C) which are formed by microfabrication and direct bonding on two biocompatible substrates (quartz). When electrical potential is applied to the sensor, the inductors and capacitors generates a LC resonance circuit and produce characteristic resonant frequencies. Real-time variation of the resonant frequency is monitored by an external measurement system using inductive coupling. Structural and electrical simulation was performed by Computer Aided Engineering (CAE) programs, ANSYS and HFSS, to optimize geometry of sensor. Ultrafast laser (femto-second) cutting and MEMS process were executed as sensor fabrication methods with consideration of brittleness of the substrate and small radial artery size. After whole fabrication processes, we got sensors of $3mm{\times}15mm{\times}0.5mm$. Resonant frequency of the sensor was around 90 MHz at atmosphere (760 mmHg), and the sensor has good linearity without any hysteresis. Longterm (5 years) stability of the sensor was verified by thermal acceleration testing with Arrhenius model. Moreover, in-vitro cytotoxicity test was done to show biocompatiblity of the sensor and validation of real-time blood pressure measurement was verified with animal test by implant of the sensor. By integration with development of external interrogation system, the proposed sensor system will be a promising method to measure real-time blood pressure.
