Gas sensing materials for detecting inflammable gas such as alcohol, propane, acetic acid, carbon monoxide, hydrogen were developed by utiliting $MgO-Cr_2O_3-TiO_2$ system. Between 30$0^{\circ}C$ and 50$0^{\circ}C$, reversible chemisorption becomes dominant and the electrical canduction of P-type semiconductive with the gas chemisorption. The ceramic sensor exhibits a high sensitivity to particular reducing gas such as alcohol, whereas propane and butane have little effect on the resistivity. The time response of adsorption is estimated to be about 20 sec. On the other hand, the desorption process, which corresponds to oxidation due to oxygen adsorption, take more than 60 sec. Thus the ceramic sensor can be used as a alcohol sensor in an ambient aunosphere. As the oxygen concentration is increased from 0.1 to 10 precent($10^3-10^6ppm$), the resistance decreases rapidly but stabilizes at higher concentration.

Rubber is used extensively in many industries because of its large reversible elastic deformation, excellent damping and energy absorption characteristics, and wide availability. It becomes very important to predict the fatigue life of rubber components. But a great deal of time and cost are necessary for the fatigue test of rubber components. In this study the fatigue life of rubber components is evaluated by performing the fatigue test of a specimen and FE analysis. The fatigue life of Jang-gu type specimen which is considered as a simple rubber component is predicted and compared with experimental results. Its material is natural rubber of which hardness is 60 and used for the engine mount of commercial vehicles.

We fabricated the monolayers onto QCM by self-assembly using viologen, which has been widely used as electron acceptor. A gold electrode of the QCM was cleaned by piranha solution and prepared the ethanol-acetonitrile(1:1) solution with 2 m mol/l viololgen compounding of pure hi gas. We determined the time dependence to resonant frequency shift during self-assembly process and the electrochemical behavior of the self-assembled viologen monolayers by cyclic voltammetry. With increasing scan rate, the redox peak current of the viologen increased linearly. This was signified that the redox reaction was reversible. The EQCM measurements revealed the anions transfer during redox reactions, respectively. From the EQCM data, the well-defined shape peaks were nearly equal charges by cyclic voltammetry.

Previous experimental results show that the magnetostrictive transducer has the peculiar characteristic with relation to their reversible magnetization and its practical usage will be hindered by this phenomena. In this paper, the idea of anhysteretization is adopted in order to solve this problem. The experimental results reveal that the anhysteretization can get rid of the extraordinary phenomena which are occurred by the change of biasing magnetic field. The effects of two important parameters, which are the amplitude and the decaying time of this process, on the anhysteretization are investigated experimentally. Finally the best operating condition is proposed in order to maximize the sensitivity under the anhysteretization.

This paper presents durability characteristics of electrorheological(ER) fluids which undergo a reversible phase change depending upon the imposition of electric fields. The field-dependent Bingham properties are subjected to be altered from long time use of the ER fluid. The level of the changed properties depends upon employed device and test conditions. A piston-rod system which has same mechanism as ER dampers is adopted in this study and tested by increasing operation cycle up to 1 million. Bingham properties of initial and us ER fluids are tested and compared. In addition, these ER fluids are applied to ER damper in order to evaluate damping force performance.

The micro-gas sensor based on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) was fabricated and its gas sensing characteristics on nitrogen dioxide ($NO_{2}$) have been investigated. The sensor consists of a heater, an insulating layer, a pair of contact electrodes, and CNT-sensing film on a micromachined diaphragm. The heater plays a role in the temperature change to modify sensor operation. Gas sensor responses of CNT-film to $NO_{2}$ at room temperature are reported. The sensor exhibits a reversible response with a time constant of a few minutes at thermal treatment temperature of $130^{\circ}C$.

In this paper, electro-optic characteristics of PLZT 7.6/70/30 composition in MPB regions, which antiferroelectric and ferroelectric phases coexist together, were studied. As sintering times are increased, Curie temperatures ore linearly decreased. And the antiferroelectric phase becomes more stronger when Curie temperatures are decreased. The crystal structure investigated by lie of X-ray analysis is proved to cubic in the thermally depoled specimen and rhombohedral in the poled specimen. Accordingly, the applicability of 7.6/70/30 specimen as image storage and display device is expected by the method for applying field induced reversible transitions between antiferroelectric(AFE) and ferroelectric(FE) phase.

Periodic magnetic nanodot arrays were successfully produced on glass substrates by interference laser lithography and electron beam lithography methods. Magnetic force microscopy (MFM) observation was carried out on fabricated nanodot arrays. MFM tip induced magnetization effects were clearly observed in ferromagnetic elliptical nanodots varying in material and aspect ratio. Fe-Cr dots with a high aspect ratio show reversible switching of the single domain magnetization state. At the same time, Co nanomagnets with a low aspect ratio exhibit tip induced transitions between the single domain and the vortex state of magnetization. The simple nanolithography is potentially an efficient method for fabrication of patterned magnetic arrays.

We have investigated current-voltage-luminance characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes based on TPD/Alq$_3$organics depending on the application of forward-backward bias voltage. Luminance-voltage characteristics and luminous efficiency were measured at the same time when the current-voltage characteristics were measured. We have observed that the current-voltage characteristics shows a reversible current maxima at low voltage, which is possibly not related to the emission from Alq$_3$. Current-voltage-luminance characteristics imply that the conduction luminance mechanism at low voltage is different from that of high voltage one.

We fabricated self-assembled monolayers(SAMs) onto quartz crystal microbalance(QCM) using viologen, which has been widely used as electron acceptor and electron transfer mediator. We determined the time dependence to resonant frequency shift during self-assembly process and observed the morphology of self-assembled mono layers by STM and investigated the electrochemical behavior of SAMs by cyclic voltammetry. Electrochemical deposition of viologen was investigated using electrochemical quartz crystal microbalance(EQCM). The redox reactions of viologen were highly reversible and the EQCM has been employed to monitor the electrochemically induced adsorption of SAMs during the redox reactions.
