Conducting Polymer - "From Raw Materials to Organic Electronics"
  Since the discovery of conducting polyacetylene in 1977, many researches about conducting polymer have been carried out in worldwide due to not only potential applications but also new scientific phenomena. Since the material synthesis and characteristics investigations in the first 20 years, many applications such as electrostatic dissipation, EMI shielding, corrosion prevention and, in the recent years, organic electronics have been developed. In this talk, the progress in conducting polymer research and recent R&D trends in conducting polymer area will be discussed.

Commercial and Potential Applications of Nano- and Micro Scale Layers of Conductive Polymers on Various Substrates
  Eeonyx Corp. has developed a line of new, conductive polymer coatings that can be applied to powders, fabrics, fibers, felts, foams, films, fillers, and plastic parts over a large range of tunable, controllable resistances (10 ohm/sq, depending on the substrate, to over 10M ohm/sq). Materials of almost any composition, including those of low surface energy, such as polyolefins, can be made conductive by the Eeonyx proprietary process. These uniform polymer coatings possess excellent adhesion and resistance to heat, humidity, UV radiation, and mild laundering. The proprietary technology allows one to combine the desired electrical and radar response of the conductive coatings with, for instance, the mechanically reinforcing properties of glass, quartz, and aramid fabrics or the elastic properties of spandex-containing fabrics. In addition, resistance gradients along a fabric or through the thickness of foam, felt, and other thick structures, such as 3-D woven, antiballistic glass material, are available. Various application and characterization data, including Tx loss and Rx loss of several lossy materials shall be presented. Suitably coated, lightweight, flame-resistant, non-cyanide-emitting felts can serve to replace carbon-loaded polyurethane foams in certain applications.

Electrostatic Discharge Phenomena and Conductive Polymers
  The lecture covers the basic background for electrostatic discharge (ESD) phenomena, one of the major causes for a sudden mulfunctioning of sensitive electronic parts. Principles of ESD phenomena are generation and general behavior of electrostatic charge and damage caused by this electrostatic charge. The lecture also covers methods to prevent the ESD damage. In particular, this lecture is centered at the application of conductive polymers as ESD protection materials, which includes principles and factors to consider when conductive polymers are used as ESD protection materials.

The Conductive Thin Layer Material in Display Field by using Conductive Polymer
  The conductive thin layer materials (CTLM) are using extensively as an electrode, EMI Shielding, ESD protection in the field of display and telecommunication equipments and for CTLM it is using mainly metal, ITO, Ag etc. The demand on these CTLM will increase with growth of display and telecommunication industry. Recently, with improving of performance for the conducting polymer, it is noticed to apply in the CTLM. In this semina, we will present and discuss on the CTLM using conductive polymer.

Market Opportunities and Materials Challenges in Printable Electronics
  Printed Electroncs (or Printable Electronics) is defined as the technology using the conventional printing methods for the fabrication of electronic parts which includes the process, equipments, materials and the related areas. This technology is well suited for the production of flexible, light weighted and low priced products. Recent development of semiconductor, insulator and conducting mateirals for printable electronics indicated that various electronic circuitry such as flexible radio and display could be fabricated by printing. In this presentation, recent progresses and new research programs related to printable electronics will be introduced along with the research activities in KRICT.

Nanodevices for Chemical/Biological Sensors
  In this lecture, I will introduce recent advances in nanosensors, with an emphasis on carbon nanotubes. Electrical-transducers based on carbon nanotube devices may lead the future point-of care/disposable sensors, since the small size and low power requirement of nanotube devices enable massive integration of them, and highly sensitive, quick, and convenient detection may possible for them. The workging principles of nanotube or nanowire device based sensors will be discussed, and I will talk about the recent advances and possible applications of nanotube-based sensors in detail.

Developments of Eco-friendly Natural Fugicides using Plant Derived Products
  Plant natural products have enormous potential to inspire and influence modern agrochemical research since plants produce a very diverse range of secondary metabolites such as terpenoids, alkaloids, polyacetylenes, flavonoids and unusual fatty acids, amino acids and sugars. They have been used either directly or as lead molecules for the development of new agrochemicals. KRICT (Korea Research Institute of Chemical Technology) has a search program for pesticidal compounds from plants using various in vivo assay methods and has developed two environmental-friendly natural fungicides. In this talk, the major achievements of our research group and recent R&D trends in natural pesticides will be discussed.

Introduction of Metal Organic Precursors for Semiconductor
  Recently the density of semiconductor increases very fast and new materials and technologies are necessary to achieve good performances and meet the nano scale processes. CVD/ALD processes are the representative for the case of new trend. The performance of CVD/ALD process depends a lot on the development of high performance of metal organic precursor. On this presentation the present status and detail applications of metal organic precursor for the semiconductor industry will be introduced.

Identification and Naming of Substances under REACH
  In REACH, 'OSOR(One Substance One Registration)' is made a rule. In other words, manufacturers who produce identical substance are required to make joint registration developing registration dossier together. For this, manufacturers shall be divided into several groups under the regulation, ‘pre-registration’. Regarding that ‘pre-registration’ is an essential part of such grouping process, the most important work in pre-registration process should be to identify substances clearly. This lecture is dealing with principles on ‘Identification and Naming of Substance’.

Safety Data Collection & Sharing
  The information on chemical properties required for registration under REACH is linked to the manufacture, hazard or import levels. The Annexes of the regulation specify the standard data requirements and give rules on the circumstances in which data may be omitted and when extra data are triggered. Any studies that are technically impossible can be omitted. Any studies that are technically impossible clearly can be omitted. The presentation discussion overview of the chemical test data collection and data sharing.

Guidance of Pre-Registration and Data-sharing for REACH Registrants
  The REACH Regulation No1907/2006 of December 2006 set up a system for the Registration, Evaluation, Authorisation and Restriction of Chemicals that are substances manufactured or imported in the EU in quantities of 1 tonne or more per year per manufacturer or importer and establishes a European Chemicals Agency(ECHA). Phase-in substances that are pre-registered with ECHA will benefit from extended registration deadlines and the period for pre-registration is from 1 June 2008 until 1 December 2008. Pre-registrants of the same substance in the list of pre-registered substances will have to establish whether their substances are indeed the same for the purpose of SIEF(Substance Information Exchange Forum) formation. And the aims of the SIEF are to facilitate data sharing and agree on the classification and labelling of the substances concerned for the purposes of Registration.
In this presentation, the pre-registration process, the formation of SIEF, data sharing and cost sharing within SIEF based on RIP 3.4 will be discussed.
