Professor Kim Ki-hyun's research team succeeded in developing a lightweight technology for action cameras 

- 30 billion market was created with "waterproofing and bonding technology for heterogeneous materials"

Our university announced that Kim Ki-hyun, a professor of Mechatronics engineering, and Plastal (CEO Hong Sung-ho), who are conducting research at the Gyeonggi Regional Cooperation Research Center (GRRC), have developed a "waterproofing technology for heterogeneous materials" to reduce the weight of action cameras.

Professor Kim Ki-hyun's research team met the performance of IPX7 or higher in waterproofing through special surface treatment with a matching strength of 40 Mpa or higher and a waterproof performance of IPX7 or higher. The joint strength of 40 Mpa or more is the lowest design strength level of high-strength concrete, and the IPX7 waterproof grade means the waterproof performance from 15 cm to 1 m deep. The characteristic of this technology is that after a bonding atmosphere with plastic is made through a special surface treatment of metal, the plastic is waterproof-bonded through a special injection, and a separate bonding medium is not used.
