Bioinspired, Biomimetic,

& Eco-Friendly Electronics

(생물성, 생체모방 및 친환경

전자소재/소자 연구개발)

For past some decades, various biological materials systems have been investigated deeply because there are a variety of specific and noteworthy properties which cannot be realized by normally artificial systems. Therefore, diverse bioinspired and biomimetic materials and structures have been developed widely for many chemical or mechanical application purposes. Compared to them, however, electronic characteristics of bioinspired and biomimetic materials have not been studied properly yet although that matter and structure can show novel and unconventional electronic properties toward new devices.

Ferroelectric, Piezoelectric, & Dielectric Materials and Devices
(강유전체, 압전체 및 유전체 재료
및 자성체 연구개발)

In modern and future society, energy and sensor applications are highly important due to connective and ubiquitous devices system for our convenient life. Simultaneously, environmental, eco-friendly, and healthcare properties should be also considered for the device applications. We aim to developing high-performance as well as environmental energy and sensor devices using dielectric and ferroelectric materials with piezoelectricity, triboelectricity, pyroelectricity, flexoelecticity, etc. Some magnetic materials are also important resources for research topic.

Soft Electronics & Ionotronics

(연성 전자소자 및 이온소자 연구개발)

Nowadays, hybrid circuit of electronic devices and human interface becomes more and more significant for future biological and medical applications. To achieve completely compatible human-based interface, a few of gel-based soft devices have been reported for new hardware platform, as well as machine-learning skill for new software technology. In terms of this purpose, complex-functioned hydrogel ionic devices mimicking diverse electronics (called ‘ionotronics’) should be developed such as diodes, transistors, logic circuits, generators, and so on. We are studying the soft ionics and ionotronics beyond electronics.
