The puncture properties under various conditions were investigated for the optimum conditions to yield the best properties. Fiber aspect ratio(AR: length of fiber/diameter of fiber), interphase condition and fiber content were considered as variables which impact the puncture force and friction force. The puncture force of short-fiber reinforced rubber increases up to 3.4 times compared to the virgin material. The better interphase condition shows the higher puncture force at given fiber AR and fiber content. The friction force of the matrix and reinforced rubber with a fiber AR below 155 does not exist. The friction force of the reinforced rubber with the good interphase condition and high fiber AR is higher than puncture force of matrix. Overall, it was found that the interphase condition, fiber AR and fiber content have an important effect on the puncture properties.

Mechanical properties of fiber reinforced composites were affected to fiber volume fractions (FVF) and interfacial property by sizing agent conditions. An optimum interface can relieve stress concentration by transferring the mechanical stress from the matrix resin to the reinforcements effectively, and thus can result in the performance of the composites. The interfacial properties and wettability between the epoxy resin and glass fiber (GF) were evaluated for different sizing agent conditions and FVFs. The surface energies of epoxy resin and different sizing agent treated GFs were calculated using dynamic and static contact angle measurements. The work of adhesion, W_a was calculated by using surface energies of epoxy matrix and GFs. The wettability was evaluated via the GF tow capillary test. The interfacial shear strength (IFSS) was evaluated by microdroplet pull-out test. Finally, the optimized GFRP manufacturing conditions could be obtained by using wettability and interfacial property.

A zwitterionic surfactant shows not only detergency but also mildness effect since it shows characteristics of a nonionic or an anionic surfactant above an isoelectric point, while showing characteristics of a cationic surfactant below an isoelectric point. Therefore, a zwitterionic surfactant can serve as a dual function surfactant by a single molecule through the interconversion of cleaning and softening effects depending on pH variations of the aqueous solution. In this study, physical properties of betaine surfactant such as CMC, surface tension, interfacial tension, contact angle and viscosity were measured and phase behavior study was performed. Also dual function characteristics of betaine zwitterionic surfactant were investigated by measuring an isoelectric point using QCM(quartz crystal microbalance) and zeta potential measurement. The CMC of betaine surfactant was near $10^{-4}mol/L$ and the surface tension at CMC was about 32 mN/m. The interfacial tension between 1 wt% aqueous solution and n-decane measured by spinning drop tensiometer at pH 2~10 resulted in an increase in interfacial tension until pH 5 and a decrease with pH after 5 and equilibration time showed the similar trend with an increase in pH. The isoelectric point of betaine surfactant measured by QCM experiment was found to exist between 3.0 and 3.3, which is the same as the result determined by zeta potential measurement.

In this study, the measurement of physical properties of ethylene oxide-propylene oxide adducted zwitterionic surfactants were measured such as critical micelle concentration, surface tension, interfacial tension, contact angle, viscosity and foam stability. Also, the dual function characteristics of a zwitterionic surfactant were investigated by determining an isoelectric point, which were obtained using zeta potential measurement and QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) experiments. The isoelectric point of DEP-OSA82-AO zwitterionic surfactant determined by zeta potential measurement was close to that obtained by QCM experiment and both results have shown almost the same trend as that determined by the frictional property measured using an automated mildness tester. In particular, it has been observed that DEP32-OSA82-AO and DEP34-OSA82-AO surfactants provide better softening effect at a pH of acidic or neutral condition than at an alkaline condition. This result indicates that both surfactants act as a cationic surfactant at a pH of acidic or neutral condition and thus provide good softening effect during a rinsing cycle in the detergency process.

계면면적 밀도는 two-fluid 모델에서 각 상 간의 상호작용에 영향을 주는 중요한 인자로서 이상유동 현상의 해석을 위하여는 이의 적절한 모델링이 필요하다. 계면면적 밀도의 모델링은 크게 상관식에 의존하는 방법론과 수송 방정식을 사용한 이론적인 접근방식으로 개발되어왔다. 후자는 시간적, 공간적으로 변하고 있는 동적 유동조건에 대하여 계면면적 밀도를 효과적으로 예측할 수 있는 방법론으로서 flow regime의 의존성을 줄이거나 없앨 수 있는 장점을 가진다. 계면면적 수송 방정식은 유체입자의 수밀도에 대한 수송 방정식의 통계적인 모델로부터 유도되며 입자들의 상호작용 및 상변화와 관련된 생성항을 포함하고 있다. 본 연구에서는 계면면적 밀도 수송 방정식 및 그 구성 모델들에 대한 연구현황을 정리하였다.

OTFT소자는 각 박막계면간의 접촉성에 따라 그 성능이 좌우 된다는 것은 널리 알려진 사실이다. 즉 박막계면간의 접촉성 저하는 계면간의 결함을 형성하여 OTFT소자 성능을 저하시킨다. 이러한 결함을 고품질의 자기조립단분자막을 제작함으로써 박막계면간 결함을 최소화 할 수 있다. 이러한 고품질의 자기조립단분자막 형성은 박막계면간의 결함을 최소화 하기때문에 고성능OTFT소자 제작시 박막계면간 접촉성 향상에 효율적으로 적용할 수 있을것이다. 이 논문에서는 계면간의 접촉성 향상을 위해 실리콘 웨이퍼 위에 3-Aminoproplytriethoxtsilane과 용매인 무수톨루엔을 이용하여 고품질의 자기조립단분자막을 제작 하였으며 고품질을 자기조립단분자막 성장 조건을 찾기 위해 엄격한 수분조절 및 APS농도, 담근시간, 온도를 조절하여 각기 다른 조건의 샘플을 제작하였다. 또한 APS성장 분포를 알기위하여 접촉각 측정기를 이용하여 접촉각을 측정 하였고 AFM 이용하여 실리콘 웨이퍼에 생성된 박막의 균질도를 측정하였다. 그 결과 APS농도(33%) 24시간 $25^{\circ}C$, APS농도(33%) 24시간 $70^{\circ}C$, APS농도(33%) 72시간 $25^{\circ}C$, APS농도 (33%) 72시간 $70^{\circ}C$ 샘플이 기존에 알려진 APS 접촉각인 $19^{\circ}C{\sim}21^{\circ}C$ 접촉각이 나왔으며 AFM 이미지 또한 높은 균질도를 보였다. 이 결과 고품질의 APS단분자막은 농도와 시간 그리고 온도에 영향은 받으며 이렇게 완성된 단분자막은 높은 균질도를 가지게 된다. 현재 실험을 통해 얻어진 고품질의 자기조립단분자막 성장 조건을 이용하여 OTFT소자 제작하고 있으며 고품질의 자기조립단분자막 형성에 의해 결함을 최소화 하므로써 박막계면간 옴성결합을 형성하여 OTFT소자의 성능 향상이 기대되어 진다.

In this study, physical properties of synthesized DE7-OSA82-AO and DEP52-OSA82-AOQ82 zwitterionic surfactants were measured such as critical micelle concentration, surface tension, interfacial tension, contact angle and viscosity. Phase behavior study was also performed. The dual function characteristics of a zwitterionic surfactant were investigated by determining an isoelectric point, which was attained using zeta potential measurements and QCM (quartz crystal microbalance) experiments. The isoelectric point of DE7-OSA82-AO surfactant determined by the zeta potential measurement and QCM experiment was about 7.2 and 7.4, respectively. On the other hand, the isoelectric point of DEP52-OSA82-AOQ82 surfactant determined by the zeta potential measurement and QCM experiment was about 10.9 and 11.0, respectively. The frictional property measured using an automated mildness tester showed that DE7-OSA82-AO surfactant can provide a good softening effect at an acidic or neutral condition. On the other hand, DEP52-OSA82-AOQ82 was found to provide a good softening effect to a fabric surface at a pH below its isoelectric point of 11.

In this study, basic physical properties were measured for ASCO EQ85 cationic surfactant of triethanolamine-ester quaternary ammonium salt and effect of pH on softening performance on fabrics was investigated using zeta potential measurement and adsorption experiment by quartz crystal microbalance. The CMC of the surfactant was near $3{\times}10^{-3}mol/L$ and the surface tension at CMC was about 40 mN/m. The interfacial tension measurement between 1 wt% aqueous solution and n-dodecane measured by spinning drop tensiometer showed that interfacial tension slightly increased with an increase in pH but the equilibration time was not affected by pH. The surfactant adsorption was found to increase with an increase in surfactant concentration and was also affected by pH of surfactant solution. The friction factor for fabrics treated with ASCO EQ85 surfactant was shown to increase with pH and better softening effect was found under acidic conditions. Half-life for foams generated with ASCO EQ85 surfactant solution increased with pH, which indicated an increase in foam stability with pH.

Silk fibers were subjected to argon and ethylene plasma treatments in order to improve the interfacial adhesion with polylactic acid (PLA). After the plasma surface treatment, the surface morphology and surface adhesion of silk fibers to the PLA resin were largely changed. Various plasma treatment conditions were used in this work: 10, 25, 50, 100 and 150 W of electric power, 1, 3, 5, 7 and 10 minutes of treatment time, and 10 and 50 sccm of a gas flow rate. The interfacial shear strength of plasma-treated Silk/PLA biocomposites was measured by a single fiber micro-droplet debonding test method. The result provided an optimal plasma treatment condition to obtain the improved interfacial adhesion in the Silk/PLA biocomposites.
