Professor Dong Woo Kim's research lab specializes in advanced functional materials for optoelectronic and smart responsive systems. The lab focuses on developing high-performance organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) through innovative light-outcoupling structures using high-refractive-index polymers and nanomaterials, while also exploring mechanophores like spiropyran for real-time stress/strain sensing in polymers. Another key direction involves plasma-assisted deposition techniques to fabricate functional polymer films—such as polydopamine analogs—preserving critical functional groups for applications in adhesion, sensing, and surface engineering. The lab integrates materials chemistry, nanotechnology, and surface science to design multifunctional materials with tailored optical, electrical, and mechanical properties.

The newly developed FFQ for assessing dietary intake in the KNHANES has acceptable reproducibility and modest validity compared with a 12 d DR collected over a 9-month period.
Diet-induced acid load was associated with increased risk of CVD, independent of obesity and insulin resistance.
We develop the high-performance internal light-outcoupling (HRLOC) system based on the high-refractive index polyimide (PI) and metal oxide nanoparticles for organic light-emitting diodes (OLEDs) with silver nanowires (AgNWs). The spontaneously formed nanobump structures, high refractive index, and light-scattering properties of HRLOC significantly enhance the light-extraction efficiency of OLEDs. Not only do the outcoupling structures improve the light-extraction efficiency, but also remarkably
A high intake of mercury was associated with an elevated risk of overall CRC. Future large-scale prospective cohort studies are recommended to investigate the causal effects of dietary mercury intake by fish and shellfish consumption on CRC risk depending on anatomical site and menopausal status.
A simple approach for preparing Fe3O4/graphene oxide (GO) nanocomposites through electrostatic self-assembly and their utilization in dye removal from aqueous media were investigated. Fe3O4 magnetic nanoparticles were synthesized by adding 1:2 ratio of Fe+2/Fe+3 to an aqueous solution, maintained in an inert atmosphere at a high pH. With the highly hydrophilic graphene oxide sheets and positively charged surface of the Fe3O4 nanoparticles, the nanocomposites were synthesized through electrostati
Spiropyran (SP) is a mechanophore that undergoes changes in chemical structure and thus in optical character when subjected to a force. Incorporation of SP into polymer chains enables optical detection of stress/strain and damage in the material under load. However, the mechano-sensitivity of SP-linked polymers is in general insufficient for many applications. Attempts have been made to enhance the mechano-sensitivity of SP-linked polymers via modification of the chemical structure of the SP mec
Accurate assessment of nutrient adequacy of a population should be based on usual intake distribution of that population. This study was conducted to adjust usual nutrient intake distributions of a single 24-hour recall in 2001 Korean National Health and Nutrition Surveys (KNHNS) in order to determine the magnitude of limitations inherent to a single 24-hour recall in assessing nutrient intakes of a population. Of 9,960 individuals who provided one 24-hour recall in 2001 KNHNS, 3,976 subjects pr
The detection of foodborne pathogenic microorganisms is an essential issue in molecular diagnostics. Fluorescence-based assays have been widely utilized in molecular diagnostics because of their ability to detect and measure low analyte concentrations. However, conventional fluorescence-based assays require sophisticated optics systems, such as a specific light source and light filter. To overcome these limitations, we developed an optical sensing system using a retroreflective Janus micropartic
Validation of a food frequency questionnaire (FFQ) utilising a short-term measurement method is challenging when the reference method does not accurately reflect the usual food intake. In addition, food group intake that is not consumed on daily basis is more critical when episodically consumed foods are related and compared. To overcome these challenges, several statistical approaches have been developed to determine usual food intake distributions. The Multiple Source Method (MSM) can calculat
By using DBD-type atmospheric pressure plasmas and a dopamine solution mist formed by a piezoelectric module, the possibility of depositing functional polymer films showing the physical and chemical characteristics of polydopamine without breaking the functional group of the dopamine has been investigated for different plasma voltages. The higher DBD voltages up to 3.0 kV decreased the functional groups such as catechol and amine (N/C ratio) relative to dopamine in the deposited polymer by incre
