A structure with periodic sub-wavelength nanohole patterns interacts with incident light and causes extraordinary optical transmission (EOT), with metal nanoparticles leading to localized surface plasmon resonance (LSPR) phenomena. To explore the effects of metal nanoparticles (NPs), optical analysis is performed for metal NP layers with periodic hole patterns. Investigation of Ag NP arrangements and comparisons with metal film structures are presented. Ag NP structures with different hole configuration are explored. Also, the effects of increasing light incident angle are investigated for metal NP structures where EOT peak at 460 nm wavelength is observed. Moreover, electric field distributions at each transmittance peak wavelengths and optical noise are analyzed. As a result, optical characteristics of metal NP structures are obtained and differences in resonance at each wavelength are highlighted.In this paper, we report on the effects of the substrate thermal evaporation process rotation speed on the electroluminescence (EL) characteristics of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs). In general OLED research, rotational and angle tilted deposition are widely used to maintain uniformity. However, there have been few reports on the effects of this deposition method on film characteristics. We analyzed these effects and found that the film density and its refractive index showed remarkable changes as a function of substrate rotational speed during tilted deposition. The EL characteristics of the transport layer of fluorescent OLEDs were also significantly affected. We derived the OLED optimal thickness and refractive index from our calculations.In the research of organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs), the OLEDs that are fabricated via conventional doping methods have complicated structures and fabrication processes. To overcome these limitations, the ultra-thin emission layer (EML) method, which adopts a simple structure has been effectively used in the research of OLEDs. However, studies on white color OLEDs (WOLEDs) fabricated using the ultra-thin EML method are scarce. In this paper, we report the results of color tuning for the realization of WOLEDs based on an ultra-thin EML structure. The WOLEDs were fabricated and evaluated based on a two-color dopant system (sky-blue dopant and yellow dopant). The fabricated WOLEDs exhibited color coordinates of the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) 1931 from (0.287, 0.436) to (0.486, 0.483) according to the thickness ratio of the two dopants. This result suggests that the WOLEDs color tuned with multi-color dopants can be fabricated based on the ultra-thin EML method, and the development of WOLEDs with high efficiency and stability can be attained in the future.Many studies on anti-bacterial/antiviral surfaces have been conducted to prevent epidemic spread worldwide. Several nanoparticles such as those composed of silver and copper are known to have antiviral properties. In this study, we developed copper oxide (CuO) nanoparticle-incorporated nanofibers to inactivate or remove viruses. The CuO nanoparticle-incorporated nanofiber was fabricated with a hydrophobic polymer-polyvinylpyrrolidone (PVP)-using electrospinning, and CuO nanoparticles were exposed from the PVP polymer surface by etching the nanofiber with oxygen plasma. The fabrication conditions of electrospinning and oxygen plasma etching were investigated by scanning electron microscopy (SEM), and field emission transmission electron microscopy (FETEM)/ energy dispersive spectrometry (EDS). H1N1 virus was utilized as the target sample and quantified by RT-qPCR. The antiviral efficacy of CuO nanoparticle-incorporated nanofibers was compared against bare CuO nanoparticles. Overall, 70% of the viruses were inactivated after CuO nanoparticle-incorporated nanofibers were incubated with 10² pfu/mL of H1N1 virus solution for 4 h. This indicates that the developed CuO nanoparticle-incorporated nanofibers have noticeable antiviral efficacy. As the developed CuO nanoparticle-incorporated nanofibers exerted promising antiviral effects against H1N1 virus, it is expected to benefit global health by preventing epidemic spread.The zirconia used in dental implants requires excellent mechanical and chemical properties such as high strength, high biological performance, corrosion resistance, and phase stability. Epigallocatechin In this study, after we prepared a highly fluidized solution of calcium phosphate, we fabricated a hydroxyapatite (HA) coating layer on a zirconia substrate using the sol-gel method to enhance its biocompatibility and bone-bonding ability. We dipped the zirconia substrate into the calcium phosphate sol to obtain the HA-coated film, which was dried at room temperature. The phase change and microstructural evolution were examined while the coating dried and during heat treatment. The biological activity of the coated and as-received substrates was evaluated using an in vitro experiment and the results were compared. The HA-coated film showed a highly dense and uniform layer structure, while its physical and biological properties depended on the starting substrate, coating times, and processing conditions.In this study, two types of carbon nanotubes were used as ophthalmic material, and hydrogel contact lenses were polymerized by adding two types of dispersants to effectively exert the functions of carbon nanotubes. The physical properties and surfaces of the ophthalmic hydrogel lenses prepared to confirm the functionality as a dispersant were compared and analyzed to find the utility as an ophthalmic lens material. For the polymerization, single-walled carbon nanotubes (SWCNTs), single-walled carbon nanotubes carboxylic acid functionalized (SWCCNTs), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA), ethylene glycol dimethacrylate (EGDMA, a crosslinking agent), and azobisisobutyronitrile (AIBN, an initiator) was used. In addition, as a dispersant, PVP (polyvinylpyrrolidone) and BYK-111 were copolymerized. As a result of this study, PVP increased the water content and decreased refractive index regardless of the type of carbon, whereas BYK-111 did not show a significant difference in basic properties. Also, PVP gradually decreased breaking strength, while BYK-111 gradually increased breaking strength.
