Functional material and method for manufacturing the same

Abstract

The present invention relates to a material having various functions such as antimicrobial function or waterproof function, as well as a method and an apparatus for manufacturing the same. The method for manufacturing a functional material according to the present invention includes coating a surface of conductive or non-conductive material with an electrically charged microfine material having a size of nano- or micro-units, thereby imparting functionality to the material simultaneously with maintaining intrinsic properties thereof. In addition, the method for manufacturing a functional material, according to the present invention, had advantages in which: repeating a process of coating the surface of the conductive or non-conductive material with a functional substance can impart a plurality of desired functions to the material, in addition, a thickness of the functional material may be easily adjusted, and a large area/large quantity may be produced by a simplified process using a general material in a short period.
