The electroconvection generated on the surface of an ion exchange membrane (IEM) is closely related to the electrical/ chemical characteristics or topology of the IEM. In particular, when non-conductive regions are mixed on the surface of the IEM, it can have a great influence on the transfer of ions and the formation of nonlinear electroconvective vortices, so more theoretical and experimental studies are necessary. Here, we present a novel method for creating microscale non-conductive patterns on the IEM surface by laser ablation, and successfully visualize microscale vortices on the surface modified IEM. Microscale (~300 μm) patterns were fabricated by applying UV nanosecond laser processing to the non-conductive film, and were transferred to the surface of the IEM. In addition, UV nanosecond laser process parameters were investigated for obvious micro-pattern production, and operating conditions were optimized, such as minimizing the heat-affected zone. Through this study, we found that non-conductive patterns on the IEM surface could affect the generation and growth of electroconvective vortices. The experimental results provided in our study are expected to be a good reference for research related to the surface modification of IEMs, and are expected to be helpful for new engineering applications of electroconvective vortices using a non-conductive patterned IEM.

본 논문은 두 편으로 구성된 치과용 임플란트 구조설계에 대한 논문 중 두 번째 논문으로 첫 번째 논문에서 구조해석 비 교연구를 통하여 그 구조적 성능이 확인된 새로운 임플란트 구조모델에 대하여 시험 설계도면을 작성하여 완성하였으며, 이를 근거로 실제로 CNC 공작기계 등을 이용하여 임플란트를 가공․제작하고, 이를 평가함으로써 치과용 임플란트 구조 설계를 완성하였다. 설계도면 작업은 전용 Tool인 MDT를 이용하여 수행하였으며, 가공작업은 CNC 선반, 범용밀링머신, Wire EDM 등을 이용하여 수행하였다. 전자현미경을 이용하여 임플란트 표면의 가공 상태를 최종 평가 확인하였다. 평가 결과 매우 양호한 상태의 임플란트 시험제품을 설계 제작하였다.
