Two dimensional (2D) arrays of noble metal nanoparticles are widely used in the sensing of nanoscale biological and chemical events. Research in this area has sparked considerable interest in many fields owing to the novel optical properties, e.g., the localized surface plasmon resonance, of these metallic nanoarrays. In this paper, we report successes in fabricating 2D arrays of gold nano-islands using nanosphere lithography. The reproducibility and the effectiveness of the nano-patterning method are tested by means of spin coating and capillary force deposition. We found that the capillary force deposition method was more effective for nanospheres with diameters greater than 600 nm, whereas the spin coating method works better for nanospheres with diameters less than 600 nm. The optimal deposition parameters for both methods were reported, showing about 80% reproducibility. In addition, we characterize gold nano-island arrays both geometrically with AFM as well as optically with UV-VIS spectrometry. The AFM images revealed that the obtained nano-arrays formed a hexagonal pattern of truncated tetrahedron nano-islands. The experimental and theoretical values of the geometric parameters were compared. The 2D gold nano-arrays showed strong LSPR in the absorption spectra. As the nano-islands increased in size, the LSPR absorption bands became red-shifted. Linear dependence of the plasmon absorption maximum on the size of the gold nano-islands was identified through the increment in the plasmon absorption maximum rate for a one nanometer increase in the characteristic length of the nano-islands. We found that the 2D gold nano-arrays showed nearly seven-fold higher sensitivity of the absorption spectrum to the size of the nano-islands as compared to colloidal gold nano-particles.

Nanotechnology is an important challenge, for which nanoparticle manipulation plays an important role in the assembly of nano elements. In this study, the dynamic equation of system plant is established by van der Waals force, friction, capillary forces etc. To push nanoparticles, strain gauges are used as sensors to actuate an X-Y stage in an atomic force microscopy system. A strategy of pushing nanoparticles is developed based on sliding mode control. Moreover, afuzzy controller is responsible for compensating tip-particle contact loss according to feedback signals of a laser-detector system. According to position control result, experimental results of gold nanoparticle manipulation are presented.

On-demand ejection of ultra-fine droplets that uses both electrohydrodynamic (EHD) force and mechanical actuation is presented. The liquid meniscus was controlled by a piezoelectric actuator and droplets were ejected by EHD force. Through these effects, it was possible to obtain a high operational jetting frequency of 5kHz with a short delay-time (about 50 us) when compared with existing on-demand EHD jetting methods, such as the pulsating jet mode (3-10 msec) and the pulsed-voltage cone-jet mode(3.6 msec). Also, we obtained ultra-fine droplets at a volume that was at the femto-liter level simultaneously. The jetting characteristics were examined for both hydrophobicity and hydrophilicity of the surface of a capillary.

Primary radiation force on ultrasound contrast agents (UCA) in a propagating and standing acoustic field was explored. A specific ultrasound contrast agent $Albunex^{(R)}$ and $Optison^{(R)}$ were chosen for simulation. The model was developed based on a shelled bubble model proposed by Church. The numerical simulation suggests that bubble translational motion is more significant in therapeutic ultrasound due to higher intensity and long pulse duration. Even a single cycle of a propagating wave of 4 MPa at 1 MHz can cause a bubble translational motion of greater than $1{\mu}m$ which is approximately one tenth of capillary. Hence, UCA characteristics can be significantly changed in therapeutic ultrasound without rapid bubble collapses.

자연계에 존재하는 다양한 생명체 중 몇몇은 벽이나 천장을 자유자재로 걸어다니거나 뛰어다닌다. 이러한 생명체 중 대표적으로 Tokay Gecko는 그 발가락 표피에 수십억개의 주걱모양의 나노헤어를 가지고 있으며, 이러한 나노헤어는 부착하고자 하는 표면과의 원자수준의 끌어당기는 힘을 발생시키게 되며 이 힘을 이용해 접착제 없이 부착력을 얻게 되는 것이다. 최근 $7{\sim}8$년 동안 많은 연구자들은 이를 모방한 건식부착물의 제작 연구를 수행하고 있으며, 본 논문에서는 이러한 연구들의 개관을 통해 향후 연구방향에 대해 논의하고자 한다.

The performance of a hydrate anti-agglomerant (AA) on cyclopentane (CyC5) hydrate anti-agglomeration at various concentrations (0-1 wt%, based on the oil phase) using MMF apparatus has been investigated. At low AA concentrations up to 0.01 wt%, the AA reduces the cohesion force (capillary force) by reducing the CyC5-water interfacial tension. At concentrations higher than 0.1 wt%, hydrate hydrophobicity alternation and AA's thermodynamic inhibition effects are the main part of AA's mechanism. Additionally, a "temporary agglomeration" phenomenon caused by surface melting of the hydrate particles is also observed, which may indicate the AA's weak ability to produce stable water-CyC5 interface.

목적: 각막 부착 콘택트렌즈에는 어떠한 힘이 작용하며 또한 이 힘에 따른 렌즈의 운동을 알아보고자 본 해설을 작성하였다. 방법: 렌즈 아래 눈물층에는 모세관작용에 따른 힘이 발생하고 렌즈 회전에 따른 눈물층 간격변화에 기인하는 복원력이 발생한다. 눈깜빡임에 따라 콘택트렌즈는 눈꺼풀-렌즈 사이 마찰력과 눈꺼풀의 가속도에 의한 힘, 눈물층의 복원력 및 점성저항력에 의해 운동(움직임)이 결정된다. 눈깜빡임 도중/후 매순간 렌즈의 위치를 예측할 수 있는 미분방정식과 그 수치계산 프로그램 모델을 수립하였다. 이 컴퓨터 모델을 사용하여 눈깜빡임 주기, 렌즈의 BC, 눈꺼풀 압력 변화에 따른 매 순간 렌즈 위치를 예측할 수 있었다. 결과: 눈깜빡임 주기가 길수록, 눈꺼풀 압력이 클수록 눈꺼풀에 의한 마찰력 영향이 커져 렌즈 움직임이 커지며 BC가 증가할수록 눈물층 간격이 증가하여 점성저항력이 감소하며 따라서 렌즈 움직임이 커지는 것을 알 수 있었다. 눈깜빡임 후 렌즈는 눈물층 간격 변화에 따른 복원력과 눈물층의 점성저항력에 의해 진폭이 감소하는 진동을 하면서 평형위치로 복귀하게 된다. 이 경우 BC가 증가할수록 저항력이 감소하여 평형 위치로의 접근이 빨라진다. 결론: 콘택트렌즈의 움직임은 렌즈-각막 사이 눈물층의 물성 및 형상과 아울러 눈깜빡임에 의해 지배된다.

Nano-scale studies on adhesion and friction were conducted in Si-wafer (100) using Atomic Force Microscopy (AFM). Glass (Borosilicate) balls of radii 0.32$\mu\textrm{m}$, 1.25$\mu\textrm{m}$, and 2.5$\mu\textrm{m}$, mounted on cantilever (Contact Mode type NPS) were used as tips. Adhesion and friction between Si-wafer and glass tips were measured at ambient temperature (24${\pm}$1$^{\circ}C$) and humidity (45${\pm}$5%). Friction was measured as a function of applied normal load in the range of 0-160 nN. Results showed that, both adhesion and friction increased with the tip radii. Also, friction increased linearly as a function of applied normal load. The effect of tip size on adhesion and friction was explained as the influence of the capillary force exerted by meniscus and that of the contact area on these parameters respectively. The coefficient of friction was estimated in two different ways, as the slope from the plot of friction force against the applied normal load and as the ratio between the friction force and the applied normal load. Both these estimates showed that the coefficient of friction increased with the tip size. Further, the influence of the adhesion force on the coefficient of friction was also discussed.

순목(blinking)에 따른 콘택트 렌즈의 운동을 예측할 수 있는 수학적인 모델과 컴퓨터 수치 해석프로그램을 안검(eyelid)의 가속도, 안검-콘택트 렌즈 사이의 미끄럼 마찰력 등을 고려한 운동(회전) 방정식으로부터 도출하였다. 순목시 안검에 의한 콘택트 렌즈의 운동은 안검이 콘택트 렌즈를 누르는 압력, 순목에 소요되는 시간, 콘택트 렌즈의 직경 등 인자에 영향을 받으며, 프로그램 결과로부터 콘택트 렌즈의 피팅에 중요한 요소인 순목 직후 평형 상태에서 이탈된 콘택트 렌즈의 위치에 대한 예측이 가능하였다. 순목 시간이 짧을수록, 콘택트 렌즈의 직경이 클수록 렌즈의 평형 이탈 거리는 크게 증가하였다. 안검의 압력 증가는 콘택트 렌즈 직경이나 순목 시간에 비해 그 영향은 미미하였다. 순목 후 콘택트 렌즈의 각막위 평형 위치로의 귀환은 순목 시간이 적절한 경우에는 순목 종료 직후의 렌즈 위치에 그다지 영향을 받지 않고 빠르게 이루어지지만 콘택트 렌즈의 직경이 큰 경우에는 렌즈 진동이 급격히 느려지기 때문에 평형 위치로 되돌아오는데 시간이 많이 걸리게 될 것이다. 따라서 직경이 대단히 큰 콘택트 렌즈를 착용한 상태에서 순목 시간이 짧은 경우에는 다음 순목때까지 콘택트 렌즈는 평형 위치에 자리잡지 못하는 결과가 발생하여 순목이 계속됨에 따라 영구 고착 등 현상이 발생할 수도 있을 것이다.

We proposed a soft-lithographic method for aligning a liquid crystal (LC) in patterned azimuthal orientations. It is demonstrated that a thermoplastic polystyrene layer is patterned from a thermally stable polyimide layer via pressure-assisted capillary force lithography, which provides multidirectional LC alignment condition simply followed by a unidirectional rubbing process.
