DETAILED DESCRIPTION
[0045] The preferable embodiments of the present disclosure will now be described with reference to the accompanying drawings for sufficiently understanding configurations and effects of the inventive concept. However, the inventive concept is not limited to the following embodiments and may be embodied in different ways, and various modifications may be made thereto. The embodiments are just given to provide complete disclosure of the inventive concept and to provide thorough understanding of the inventive concept to one of ordinary skill in the art. It will be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the inventive concept may be performed in a certain suitable environment.
[0046] The terminology used herein is for the purpose of describing particular embodiments only and is not intended to limit the scope of the present disclosure. As used herein, the singular forms are intended to include the plural forms as well, unless the context clearly indicates otherwise. It will be understood that terms comprises/includes and/or comprising/including when used in this specification, specify the presence of stated components, steps, operations and/or elements, but do not preclude the presence or addition of one or more other components, steps, operations and/or elements.
[0047] When a film (or layer) is referred to as being on another film (or layer) or substrate, it may be directly formed on another film (or layer) or substrate, or a third film (or layer) may also be interposed therebetween.
[0048] Although the terms first, second, third, etc. have been used in various embodiments herein to describe various regions, and films (or layers) and the like, it should be understood that these regions and layers are not limited to the terms. These terms are merely used to distinguish predetermined region or film (or layer) from other region of film (or layer). Accordingly, the film referred to as a first film in any one embodiment may be referred to as a second film in other embodiments. Embodiments described and exemplified herein include complementary embodiments thereof. Like reference numerals refer to like components throughout the specification.
[0049] Unless otherwise defined, all terms used herein have the same meaning as commonly understood by one of ordinary skill in the art to which this invention pertains.
[0050] Hereinafter, an anti-radiation structure according to a concept of the inventive concept will be described with reference to the drawings. The present embodiment will be described that an anti-radiation structure employs a temperature-pressure complex sensor with an anti-radiation property which is capable of detecting a temperature and pressure, as an exemplary example.
[0051] Referring to
[0052] According to another embodiment, when an anti-radiation structure is not a temperature-pressure complex sensor, the first sensing material 100 may not be limited to materials for detecting a change in temperature or pressure. A porous conductive film of an anti-radiation structure (that is, corresponding to a first sensing material 100 of a temperature-pressure complex sensor) may include various materials having a two-dimensional crystal structure other than those listed in describing the first sensing material 100. Hereinafter, description will be given on the basis that an anti-radiation structure is a temperature-pressure complex sensor.
[0053] The second sensing materials 200 may be disposed on the surface of the first sensing material 100. The second sensing materials 200 may be provided in a particulate or cluster form. Here, the cluster means an aggregate in which a plurality (for example, several to hundreds) of atoms or molecules are aggregated. The second sensing materials 200 may be locally formed on the surface of the first sensing material 100. The second sensing materials 200 may have conductive structures and nanoparticles.
[0054] Referring to
[0055] Nanoparticles 220 may be disposed in the conductive structure 210. Specifically, the nanoparticles 220 may be disposed between the crystal layers of the conductive structure 210. The nanoparticles 220 may include an anti-radiation material. In addition, the nanoparticles 220 may have a radiation shielding property. For example, the nanoparticles 220 may shield gamma rays. The nanoparticles 220 may have a diameter of 5 nm to 100 nm. The nanoparticles 220 may include an insulation material. For example, the nanoparticles 220 may include metal oxides. The metal oxides may include an iron oxide (Fe.sub.3O.sub.4).
[0056] The electrical resistance of the second sensing material 200 may change according to the external pressure. For example, the electrical conductivity of the second sensing material 200 may change with the external pressure, and the second sensing material 200 may detect the external pressure, that is, the compressive force. Specifically, when the external pressure is not applied to the second sensing material 200, the crystal layers of the conductive structure 210 may be spaced apart at a certain distance by the nanoparticles 220, and may have a high resistance due to an increase in contact resistance between the crystal layers of the conductive structure 210. However, when the external pressure is applied to the second sensing material 200, the distance between the crystal layers of the conductive structure 210 may be decreased, thereby decreasing the contact resistance between the crystal layers of the conductive structure 210. In other words, since the nanoparticles 220 are arranged in between the crystal layers of the conductive structure 210, the contact resistance between the crystal layers of the conductive structure 210 due to the external pressure may greatly change, thereby improving the pressure sensing sensitivity of the second sensing material 200.
[0057] A temperature-pressure complex sensor with an anti-radiation property according to embodiments of the inventive concept may detect a change in temperature using a first sensing material 100, and may detect a change in external pressure and compressive force using the first sensing material 100 and the second sensing material 200. Furthermore, the second sensing material 200 includes nanoparticles 220 between the crystal layers of the conductive structure 210 in which a contact resistance varies with pressure, thereby improving the compressive force sensing sensitivity of the temperature-pressure complex sensor with an anti-radiation property.
[0058] According to another embodiment, when an anti-radiation structure is not a temperature-pressure complex sensor, the second sensing material 200 may not be limited to materials for detecting a change in pressure. Clusters of an anti-radiation structure (that is, corresponding to a second sensing material 200 of a temperature-pressure complex sensor) may include various materials other than those listed in explaining the second sensing material 200. For example, a conductive structure 210 of an anti-radiation structure may include, other than those listed above, various materials having a two-dimensional crystal structure, such as a graphene or a molybdenum disulfide (MoS.sub.2). The nanoparticles 220 of the anti-radiation structure may include an anti-radiation material. Hereinafter, description will be given on the basis that an anti-radiation structure is a temperature-pressure complex sensor.
[0059] Referring again to
[0060] The first sensing material 100 and the second sensing material 200 of a temperature-pressure complex sensor with an anti-radiation property may be protected from the external shock by means of the protective layer 300. In addition, as the porous first sensing material 100 and the protective layer 300 covering the same have flexibility, a temperature-pressure complex sensor with a flexible anti-radiation property may be provided. Furthermore, since the first sensing material 100 and the second sensing material 200 include an anti-radiation material, and the first sensing material 100 and the second sensing material 200 are encompassed by the protective layer 300 having an anti-radiation property, the first sensing material 100 and the second sensing material 200 may not be damaged by high-radiation. In other words, the sensing property of the temperature-pressure complex sensor with the anti-radiation property according to embodiments of the inventive concept may not degrade in extreme environments (for example, nuclear power plants, etc.) such as high-radiation environments.
[0061] Furthermore, an anti-radiation structure of the inventive concept may have flexibility and include an anti-radiation material capable of shielding the radiation. Accordingly, the radiation may be easily shielded regardless of the shape of a radiation source or the shape of an object to be protected.
[0062] As the above, it has been exemplarily described that the anti-radiation structure of the inventive concept is a temperature-pressure complex sensor, but the inventive concept is not limited thereto.

The first sensing material source 106 may include carbon compounds such as methane (CH.sub.4).
[0068] The first sensing material source 106 may be supplied on the sacrificial layer 110. The first sensing material source 106 may be diffused on the sacrificial layer 110 or moved on the sacrificial layer 110 by means of the carrier gas 402.
[0069] The first sensing material source 106 may be reacted on the surface of the sacrificial layer 110 to form the first sensing material 100 (see

[0072] The nanoparticles may be mixed with the precursor solution (process S2-2). The nanoparticles may be added in a powder form to the precursor solution. The nanoparticles may have a diameter of 5 nm to 100 nm. The nanoparticles may include metal oxides (Fe.sub.2O.sub.4, and Fe.sub.3O.sub.4). Accordingly, the conductive structure 210 and the nanoparticles may be mixed in the deionized water solution.
[0073] An ultrasonication process may be performed on the precursor solution (process S2-3). The nanoparticles 220 may be inserted between the crystal layers of the conductive structure 210 through the ultrasonication process. As illustrated in

[0075] Referring to
[0076] The sacrificial layer 110 may then be removed (process S5). The sacrificial layer 110 may be removed using a wet etching process. For example, an etching solution may permeate the vacant spaces between the crystals of the first sensing material 100, and etch the sacrificial layer 110. A temperature-pressure complex sensor with an anti-radiation property may be formed through aforementioned processes.
Experimental Example 1
[0077] The same formation process as that for the temperature-pressure complex sensor with an anti-radiation property that has been described with reference to
Experimental Example 2
[0078] The same formation process was performed as that in Experimental example 1 except that a protective layer is not formed. In other words, a first sensing material was formed using a graphene, a conductive structure of a second sensing material was formed using a titanium carbide (Ti.sub.3C.sub.2), nanoparticles of the second sensing material were formed using an iron oxide (Fe.sub.3O.sub.4), and a protective layer was not coated so that the first sensing material and the second sensing material are exposed to the outside.
[0079] After the resultant products of Experimental example 1 and Experimental example 2 were subjected to irradiation, Raman analysis was performed before and after irradiation. Cobalt-60 as a radiation source was used for irradiation, and the radiation irradiation dose was approximately 1 kGy/hour. The total irradiation time of the radiation was 20 hours and 23 minutes, and the cumulative dose was 20.55 kGy.
[0080]
[0081]
[0082] Referring to results in
[0083] The electrical properties of the resultant products of Experimental example 1 was measured, while the resultant products of Experimental example 1 was irradiated. Cobalt-60 as a radiation source was used for irradiation, and the radiation irradiation dose was approximately 1 kGy/hour. The total irradiation time of the radiation was 20 hours and 23 minutes, and the cumulative dose was 20.55 kGy. At this point, using Experimental example 1, the electrical properties of the resultant products of Experimental example 1 were compared between reference sample (Ref.) without irradiation and a first to sixth samples (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6) with irradiation. Changes in voltage applied to the reference sample (Ref.) and the first to sixth samples (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6) were measured according to the irradiation time of the radiation, while the resultant products of the first to sixth samples (S1, S2, S3, S4, S5, and S6) were irradiated.
[0084]
[0085]
[0086] Change in resistance according to temperature and pressure was measured using Experimental example 1.
[0087]
[0088]
[0089] In other words, the resistance of a temperature-pressure complex sensor with an anti-radiation property according to the inventive concept may proportionally change to the temperature changes, and the rate of change in resistance may vary according to pressure changes. Accordingly, the temperature-pressure complex sensor according to the inventive concept is capable of simultaneously measuring temperature and pressure, and an optional measure of temperature and pressure is also possible.
[0090] A temperature-pressure complex sensor with an anti-radiation property according to embodiments of the inventive concept may detect a change in temperature using a first sensing material, and may detect a change in external pressure and a compressive force using the first sensing material and a second sensing material. Furthermore, the second sensing material may include nanoparticles between crystal layers of a conductive structure in which a contact resistance varies with pressure, thereby improving a compressive force sensing sensitivity of the second sensing material.
[0091] In a temperature-pressure complex sensor with an anti-radiation property according to embodiments of the inventive concept, a porous first sensing material and a protective layer covering the same are flexible. Thus, a flexible temperature-pressure complex sensor having an anti-radiation property, and a flexible anti-radiation structure may be provided.
[0092] A temperature-pressure complex sensor with an anti-radiation property according to embodiments of the inventive concept may not be deteriorated in sensing property in extreme environments such as high-radiation environments.
[0093] An anti-radiation structure according to embodiments of the inventive concept may have flexibility, and include an anti-radiation material capable of shielding the radiation. Accordingly, the anti-radiation structure may easily shield a radiation regardless of the shape of a radiation source or the shape of an object to be protected.
[0094] As the above, the exemplary embodiments of the inventive concept have been described with reference to the accompanying drawings, it should be understood by one of ordinary skill in the art that the inventive concept may be implemented in another concrete form without changing the technical spirit or an essential feature thereof. Therefore, the aforementioned exemplary embodiments are to be considered all illustrative and not restrictive.
