This study has investigated the 3-D deflection characteristics of a flexible plate levitated by non-contact grippers using SPIV method. The measuring instrument consisted of a flexible plate located under four non-contact grippers and two cameras at the bottom of a transparent acrylic plate. Measurements were made on two materials (PVC and PC) for the plate with 50×50 cm2 area and 1 mm thickness. The deflection characteristics and flatness vary depending on the plate material, the gripper position and the air flow supplied to the gripper. For the material of PVC, the overall defection is convex. As the gripper position goes outward from the plate center, the upmost bending point also moves to the outside of the plate with the flatness increasing. However, the air flow rate does not affect the deflection pattern except for the small increase of flatness. For the material of PC, the shape of deflection changes from convex to concave as the gripper position goes out. The flatness is the highest at the point of transition from convex to concave, but the air flowrate has little effect on the flatness.

The shape of an airfoil is a critical factor in determining aerodynamic characteristics such as lift and drag. Aerodynamic properties of an airfoil have a decisive impact on the performance of various engineering applications, including airplane wings and wind turbine blades. Therefore, it is essential to analyze the aerodynamic characteristics of airfoils. Various analytical tools such as experiments, computational fluid dynamics, and Xfoil are used to perform these analyses, but each tool has its limitation. In this study, airfoil parameterization, image recognition, and artificial intelligence are combined to overcome these limitations. Image and coordinate data are collected from the UIUC airfoil database. Airfoil parameterization is performed by recognizing images from image data to build a database for deep learning. Trained model can predict the aerodynamic characteristics not only of airfoil images but also of sketches. The mean absolute error of untrained data is 0.0091.

Effervescent tablets generate gas bubbles when chemical reaction occurs between water and tablets. Most of previous studies have been focused on pharmaceutical characteristics of tablets. However, for their applications in disinfectants, cleaners, and pesticides, physical characteristics of bubbles released from the effervescent tablets when they are in water are important. In this study, we experimentally investigated the characteristics of microbubbles generated by an effervescent tablet made of sodium bicarbonate and tartaric acid using PDPA and high-speed camera. Microbubbles were generated using different weights of effervescent tablet as well as in different water temperature. The experimental study shows increase in reaction time, bubble concentration and rise velocity as the weight of effervescent tablet increases from 1 to 20 g. The decrease in average bubble diameter was observed when the temperature of water increased from 25 to 45 ℃. Further, reaction time varies inversely with increase in water temperature, while bubble rise velocity is directly proportional to increase in water temperature. Effervescent table continuously generates the bubble with approximately constant diameter (235 ㎛) in the water. However, bubble concentration and bubble rise velocity decreased over time.

The electromembrane process, which has advantages such as scalability, sustainability, and eco-friendliness, is used in renewable energy fields such as fuel cells and reverse electrodialysis power generation. Most of the research to visualize the internal flow in the electromembrane process has mainly been conducted on heterogeneous ion exchange membranes, because of the non-uniform swelling characteristics of the homogeneous membrane. In this study, we successfully visualize the electro-convective vortices near the Nafion homogeneous membrane in PDMS-based microfluidic devices. To reinforce the mechanical rigidity and minimize the non-uniform swelling characteristics of the homogeneous membrane, a newly developed swelling supporter was additionally adapted to the Nafion membrane. Thus, a clear image of electroconvective vortices near the Nafion membrane could be obtained and visualized. As a result, we observed that the heterogeneous membrane has relatively stronger electroconvective vortices compared to the Nafion homogeneous membranes. Regarding electrical response, the Nafion membrane has a higher limiting current and less overlimiting current compared to the heterogeneous membrane. Based on our visualization, it is assumed that the heterogeneous membrane has more activated electroconvective vortices, which lower electrical resistance in the overlimiting current regime. We anticipate that this work can contribute to the fundamental understanding of the ion transport characteristics depending on the homogeneity of ion exchange membranes.

The design and synthesis of protein-like polymers is a fundamental challenge in materials science. A biomimetic approach is to explore the impact of monomer sequence on non-natural polymer structure and function. We present the aqueous self-assembly of two peptoid polymers into extremely thin two-dimensional (2D) crystalline sheets directed by periodic amphiphilicity, electrostatic recognition and aromatic interactions. Peptoids are sequence-specific, oligo-N-substituted glycine polymers designed to mimic the structure and functionality of proteins. Mixing a 1:1 ratio of two oppositely charged peptoid 36 mers of a specific sequence in aqueous solution results in the formation of giant, free-floating sheets with only 2.7 nm thickness. Direct visualization of aligned individual peptoid chains in the sheet structure was achieved using aberration-corrected transmission electron microscopy. Specific binding of a protein to ligand-functionalized sheets was also demonstrated. The synthetic flexibility and biocompatibility of peptoids provide a flexible and robust platform for integrating functionality into defined 2D nanostructures. In the later part of my talk, we describe the use of metal ions to construct two-dimensional hybrid films that have the ability to self-heal. Incubation of biomimetic peptoid polymers with specific divalent metal ions results in the spontaneous formation of uniform multilayers at the air-water interface. We anticipate that ease of synthesis and transfer of these two-dimensional materials may have many potential applications in catalysis, gas storage and sensing, optics, nanomaterial synthesis, and environmentally responsive scaffolds.

DTBP (dimethyl 3,3`-dithiobispropionimidate) was applied to collagen and gelatin coating on BCP granules and a crosslinking agent. The DTBP crosslinking was done for decreasing the solubility of the coating and hence increasing the stability. The nanostructure of collagen and gelatin coating surfaces were observed by SEM technique. Based on the DSC thermograms and FT-IR spectrums, the crosslinkings were confirmed between collagen molecules and gelatin molecules. The compressive strength was measured before crosslinking and after that. In-vitro study was carried out by measuring cell viability and observing cell morphology after DTBP crosslinking. Moreover, the proliferation ability of MG-63 osteoblast-like cells on the crosslinked BCP granules was evaluated by Western blot assay. The BCP granules were implanted into rabbit femur for 4 weeks and 12 weeks. The bone tissue formation was analyzed with micro-computed tomography (micro-CT) and histological analysis was also carried out by hematoxylin and eosin (H&E) staining for visualization of cells.

Laser micromachining is a promising technique to fabricate the micro-scale devices. However, there remains important challenges to reducethe redeposition of ablated materials around the laser irradiated zone and to get a smooth surface, especially for metal and semiconductor materials. To achieve the high-quality micromachined devices, various methods have been developed. Liquid-assisted micromachining can be a good solution to overcome the previously mentioned problems. During the laser ablation process, the liquid around the solid sample dramatically changes the ablation characteristics, such as ablation rate, surface profile, formation of debris, and so on. In this investigation, we conducted the laser micromachining of Si in various liquid environmental conditions, such as liquid types, liquid thickness. In addition, using nanoscale time-resolved shadowgraphy technique, we observed the ablation process in liquid environments to understand the mechanism of liquid-assisted laser micromachining.
