We propose a two-step lithography process to minimize edge-bead issues caused by thick photoresist (PR) coating. In the conventional PR process, the edge bead can be efficiently removed by applying an edge-bead removal (EBR) process while rotating the silicon wafer at a high speed. However, applying conventional EBR to the production of desired PR mold with unique negative patterns cannot be used because a lower rpm of spin coating and a lower temperature in the soft bake process are required. To overcome this problem, a two-step lithography process was developed in this study and applied to the fabrication of a polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) film having super-hydrophobic characteristics. Following UV exposure with a first photomask, the exposed part of the silicon wafer was selectively removed by applying a PR developer while rotating at a low rpm. Then, unique PR mold structures were prepared by employing an additional under-exposure process with a second mask, and the mold patterns were transferred to the PDMS. Results showed that the fabricated PDMS film based on the two-step lithography process reduced the height difference from 23% to 5%. In addition, the water contact angle was greatly improved by spraying of hydrophobic nanosilica on the dual-scaled PDMS surface.

Trifluoroethyl methacrylate (TFEMA) is used in the preparation of water-repellant paints and optical fiber clading materials, and is manufactured by esterification reaction of trifluoroethanol (TFEA) and methacrylic acid (MA). To estimate the applicability of a pervaporation membrane for the esterification TFEMA esterification, the basic pervaporation properties for TFEA/water mixture were determined using a commercial poly(vinyl alcohol) membrane (GFT Membrane $Pervap^{\circledR}1005$). The effect of TFEA concentration in feed solution and operating temperature on the pervaporation properties was determined. The total permeation flux decreased with increasing TFEA concentration from 90 to 99 wt%, but the separation factor of TFEA/water showed maximum values at 95 wt% TFEA concentration. With increasing feed temperatures from 50 to 8$0^{\circ}C$, the permeation flux and separation factor increased. Higher separation factors and permeation fluxes were observed at 8$0^{\circ}C$ of feed temperature. This pervaporation performance confirmed that the commercial pervaporation membrane could be successfully applied to esterification of TFEMA.

수송용 산업의 하나인 국내 조선업계는 2008년 말 이후 세계 조선경기 불황 속에서도 2009년 451억달러, 2010년 491억달러의 사상최대 수출액을 달성한 바가 있고 세계 조선사 순위에서는 1위에서 5위까지 한국 조선소 등이 우위를 차지하고 있다. 그러나 개별 기업 경쟁력은 우위에 서있지만 중국과의 격차가 많이 좁혀지고 있어 안심할 수 없는 상황이다. 특히 최근에는 탄소배출량이 적은 친환경 선박의 제조가 선박업계 전반의 화두로 대두되고 있다. 이를 위해 다양한 시도가 시도되고 있는데 그중에 하나가 선박의 경량화이다. 금속외장 전선은 선박 무게의 10~13%를 차지하고 있고 전체 사용 전선의 30~40%를 차지하고 있어 선박에서의 금속외장 전선의 무게를 줄이기 위한 연구가 필요한 실정이다. 또한 조선산업 뿐만 아니라 자동차 분야에서도 금속 외장전선이 많이 사용되고 있으며, 자동차의 연비 향상을 위한 경량화 연구가 더욱 절실한 상황이다. 본 연구에서는 수송용으로 사용되는 전선의 금속외장을 경량 고강도 섬유를 활용한 하이브리드 wire로 대체하기 위한 편조 기술 및 편조 장치를 개발하기 위한 설계 및 기초연구를 수행하였다. 초경량 고강도 섬유 Armor의 제조기술 및 최적 공정 개발을 위한 연구로서 경쟁사 샘플에 대한 분석을 실시하였고, 사용된 섬유의 성분 분석 및 물성시험을 수행하였다. 또한 원형직기 개발을 위한 구조부 설계를 위해 ANSYS해석을 수행하고 저신율 고강도인 아라미드의 이징모션 시스템 개발을 위한 연구를 수행하였으며 개구 형성방법을 설계하였다. 그리고 초경량 고강도 hybrid 케이블 아라미드 편조 표면 및 내부 가교에 의한 가공 기술을 연구하였다. 아라미드 섬유의 발수성 향상을 위한 코팅재료 선정을 위한 연구를 수행하였고, 자외선 경화공정에서 조건별 데이터를 정립하여 솔루션을 제공하고자 한다.

The acrylate copolymer having good coating, water-repellent and adhesion properties was designed and prepared. We prepared copolymers with high yield of > 95% using methyl methacrylate(MMA), 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl acrylate (FMA) and 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate monomers(HEMA) by either bulk or emulsion polymerization techniques. The $^1H-NMR$ spectrum was used to identify chemical structure and DSC and DMA analysis were conducted. As a result, the glass transition temperature decreased by $3^{\circ}C$ as FMA content increased from 5% to 10%, and decreased by $2{\sim}8^{\circ}C$ when HEMA content increased from 5 % to 10 %. The physical properties were measured using Instron and TGA. As FMA or HEMA content increased by 10%, tensile strength decreased from 29 MPa to 22 MPa and Td decreased from $200^{\circ}C$ to $180^{\circ}C$ in both bulk and emulsion. The contact angle relatively decreased as hydrophilic HEMA content increased.

일반적으로 초친수 박막들은 물의 퍼짐 현상이 발생하여 빠른 건조와 함께 표면에 붙은 이물질 제거와 공기 중의 미세먼지를 흡착을 하지 않음으로써 표면에 워터스폿(water spot, 물자국)이 생기지 않고 다시 깨끗해지는 자가세정 능력을 가져 유리 및 건축자재의 표면처리 용도로써 많이 사용하고 있다. 이러한 초친수 박막을 제조하는 방법으로는 sol-gel법, 진공 증착법, 화학 기상 증착법, 스퍼터링법 등을 이용한다. 이중 스퍼터링법은 높은 증착속도를 얻을 수 있으며, 비교적 낮은 진공도에서 박막제작을 할 수 있다는 장점을 가진다. 본 실험은 RF-magnetron sputtering법을 이용하여 화학적으로 매우 안정하고 높은 투과율을 가지며 기계적 표면 경도가 우수하여 코팅용 박막으로 널리 이용되고 있는 $TiO_2$와 $SiO_2$를 Single Layer와 Double Layer인 $TiO_2/SiO_2$/Glass박막을 제작하여 초친수 특성을 분석하였다. 광학적 특성을 알아보기 위해 UV-vis spectrophotometer장비를 사용하여 측정한 결과 가시광 영역에서 80% 이상의 높은 투과율을 나타내었다. 이는 모든 박막들의 광학적 특성이 우수하여 높은 광학적 특성을 요구하는 분야에 널리 사용 될 수 있다 것이라는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 또한 박막의 표면을 확인하기 위해 AFM을 측정한 결과 모든 박막들은 고른 거칠기를 나타내고 있다는 것을 볼 수 있었다. 이것으로 볼때 초친수 역시 초발수 박막의 표면과 마찬가지로 일정한 패턴을 가져야 하는 것을 확인 할 수 있었다. 박막이 초친수성을 띄기 위해 가장 중요시되는 조건인 접촉각이 5도 이하인 조건을 확인을 위해 Contact Angle을 이용하여 접촉각을 측정해 본 결과 박막들은 초친수성의 조건인 5도 보다 더욱 낮은 접촉각의 측정결과를 나타내었다. 위 실험결과를 볼 때 $TiO_2$와 $SiO_2$를 기반으로 단층 혹은 다층으로 박막을 제작하면 더욱 좋은 초친수 특성을 가져 사회적으로 여러 분야에 사용 가능 할 것이라 사료된다.

Currently, the most developed new energy source is solar energy. Because solar power is installed outside, it is exposed to many pollutants. Pollutants are causing the characteristics of solar energy to deteriorate. Therefore, this study aims to develop a water-repellent coating to prevent contamination of solar modules. Silica and Titania materials are mainly used as water-repellent coating materials. In this study, it was based on silica and the contact angle characteristics were measured according to the change in the amount of silica and ammonia water added and the number of coatings. As a result of the measurement, it was confirmed that the contact angle was more than 60 degrees when 0.5 mol of TEOS was added to 50 mL and 0.15 M when 1 mL of ammonia water was added to 296.47 ml of distilled water. And it was confirmed that the contact angle improved when the number of coatings was applied twice. A water-repellent coating material was applied to low iron tempered glass used to protect dye-sensitized solar cell modules. The characteristics of the module were measured after spraying DI-Water on low-emission tempered glass with a water-repellent coating. As a result of the measurement, the efficiency of the module without application, the efficiency of the module coated once, and the module coated twice were 4.87%, 4.90%, and 4.91%, respectively. It was confirmed that the efficiency of the module increased by applying water-repellent coating. As a result of this study, it is determined that the water-repellent coating material will help improve solar power generation efficiency and lifespan by being self-cleaning and non-reflective.

A series of acrylic copolymers containing perfluoroalkyl acrylate were synthesized by 2-step emulsion polymerization of variety of acrylate monomers (ethyl acrylate, butyl acrylate or methyl methacrylate) with perfluoroalkyl ethyl acrylate (PFA) and glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) monomers. This study focused on effects of monomer compositions (the kind of acrylate monomer, contents of PFA and GMA) and composition of surfactants [(sodium dodecyl sulphate/nonylphenol 10mole ethoxylate (NP-10)] and initiator content on the contact angles and surface free energy. It was found that the copolymer having an optimum composition (BA : 87 wt%, GMA : 8.7 wt% and PFA : 4.3 wt%) was shown to be quite surface active [surface free energy : 19.89 mN/m and contact angles : $103.5^{\circ}$ (water) and $78.7^{\circ}$ (methylene iodide)] in the solid state. This result suggests that the optimal copolymer containing fluorinated monomer synthesized in this study have high potential as a low surface energy material, which may have high oil- and water-repellent surface and have been proposed as acrylic syntan for leather and also as soil-resistant/oil and water repellent coating for textiles and wood etc.

Sensor and optical properties have become critical features in powder foundation. The flaky barium sulfate powder shows good smooth texture, adhesion and natural looking characteristics. However, it has limitations abilities in UV shielding, hiding and blooming effect. Thus we adopt TiO$_2$ that has excellent hiding power and blooming effect as well as UV shielding ability, but TiO$_2$ has still intrinsic problems in dispersion and texture. To overcome this disadvantages, the barium sulfate/TiO$_2$/dimethicone composite powder was prepared. The flaky barium sulfate powder was coated with TiO$_2$ in nanoscale and followed by coated with dimethicone. When this surface-modified powder was applied for make-up cosmetics, especially in powder foundation, the powder gave powder foundation more good characteristics than the original flaky barium sulfate, Ti02 powder, dimethicone in abovementioned optical and sensory properties. To characterize the distinctive features of this surface-modified powder, we measured its characteristics with UV in vitro tester, hiding powder test method, goniophotometer, consumer panel test and so on.
