In this study, we have prepared mesophase pitch from pyrolysis fuel oil (PFO) by heterogeneous reforming process. This process was conducted by direct fluorination at various temperature and followed by the heat treatment at $390^{\circ}C$. The reformed pitch was then investigated by softening point analysis, elemental analysis, fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, high resolution X-ray diffraction and polarization microscope analysis. Carbon contents of reformed pitch increased according to increasing the reaction temperature of fluorination, while oxygen, nitrogen and sulfur contents were completely eliminated. As the fluorination temperature increased, the creation, growth, coalescence and alignment process of mesophase spheres were observed. Also the interlayer spacing of carbon hexagonal planar structure decreased, while its crystalline size increased. In addition, aromatic ring compound contents increased by the condensation polymerization of aliphatic compound. These results can be attributed to the radical reactivity of the fluorine increased as the reaction temperature increased. It was considered that the fluorination reaction could help PFO to generate aromatic compounds, via promoting polymerization by radical reaction.

Hydrophobic Organic-Inorganic (O-I) hybrid materials prepared by sol-gel process have been widely used at functional coating fields such as coatings for anti-corrosion, anti-icing, self-cleaning, anti-reflection. The key point for fabricating hydrophobic surface is to optimize the surface energy and roughness of the coating films. There are typical processes to control the surface energy and roughness which are 'In situ fabricating', 'Pre-fluorinating/Post-roughening', 'Pre-roughening/ Post-fluorinating'. In this study, particle-binder process was used for in-situ fabrication of hydrophobic coating films. Various O-I hybrid compounds prepared using several kinds of alkoxysilane compounds were used as a binder for silica nanoparticles at particle-binder process. To study effect of fluorine content and weight ratio of particle : binder on the hydrophobicity and surface morphology, Hydrophobic coating films were prepared onto glass substrate at various content of fluorine content of O-I hybrid binder and weight ratio of particle : binder. The coating films prepared using O-I hybrid binder (GPTi-HF10) having 10 wt% of fluorine content showed the highes water contact angle (107.52±1.6°). The coating films prepared at 1:3 weight ratio of GPTi-HF10 : silica nanoparticle exhibited the highest water contact angle (130.84±1.99°).

오늘날 현대사회의 산업화 과정에서 발생되는 여러 문제 중에서도 가장 시급하고 절실하게 해결하여야 할 문제중의 하나는 극심한 오염 문제이다. 그 중에서도 대기오염은 자동차의 급격한 증가와 겨울철 난방연료의 사용으로 머지않아 우리나라 환경정책의 가장 큰 숙제로 떠오를 전망이다. 즉, 수질오염은 개인차원에서 어느 정도 자구책을 마련할 여지가 있지만 대기오염은 개인의 의지로 개선이 불가하고 불특정다수에게 광범위하게 영향을 미치기 때문에 그 폐해가 더욱 심각하다. 각종 오염원으로부터 배출되는 불소화합물, 질소산화물, 황화물, 오존, 메탄가스, 이산화탄소 등 다양한 종류의 대기오염 물질들은 광화학 스모그, 지구온난화, 자연림감소, 오존홀, 산성비 등의 원인을 제공하며, 인체 및 자연 생태계에 예측하기 어려운 부작용들을 야기시키고 있다.

Novel fluoride sensory systems have been successfully developed. Previously developed method of the fluoride-induced lactonization to fluorescent molecules was detailed, and newly developed fluoride-induced aromatic cyclization scheme was introduced. Based on the strategies using the specific affinity of fluoride to silicon, our systems are highly selective for fluoride ion. Incorporation of the developed sensor to a conjugated polymer has successfully enhanced its sensitivity to fluoride ion.

In this study, alkoxysilane-functionalized amphiphilic polymer (AFAP), which have hydrophilic segment and hydrophobic segment functionalized by alkoxysilane group at the same backbone, was synthesized and used as a dispersant and control agent for reaction rate in the preparation of colloidally stable organic-inorganic (O-I) hybrid sols. After reaction with fluorosilane compounds, fluorinated O-I hybrid sols were prepared and coated onto glass substrate to form hydrophobic O-I hybrid coating films through low-temperature curing process. Surface hardness and hydrophobicity of cured coating films were varied with type of solvent and composition of AFAP and fluorinated alkoxysilane compounds. At appropriate solvent and composition of fluorinated alkoxysilane compounds, O-I hybrid coating film having high transparency and surface hardness could be prepared, which could be applicable to cover window of solar cell and displays.

Perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctane sulfonic acid (PFOS) are emerging pollutants in agricultural product, and the residual patterns and the uptake potentials were only studied on several crops, not on rice. The residue level and bioconcentration factor (BCF) of PFOA and PFOS were investigated on the low ($1mg\;kg^{-1}$) and the high contaminated soil ($5mg\;kg^{-1}$) groups. The residue levels in brown rice in the low group and in the high group were 0.002-0.004 and $0.008-0.030mg\;kg^{-1}$ of the each perfluorinated compounds (PFCs), and in the rice husk were $0.035-0.074mg\;kg^{-1}$ and $0.125-0.376mg\;kg^{-1}$ of the each PFCs, respectively. Furthermore, the residues in rice straw were the highest level in the all rice parts both in the groups. The PFOA and PFOS were reached to $3.723mg\;kg^{-1}$ and $7.641mg\;kg^{-1}$, respectively, and the BCF (1.474 and 4.700) as well.

A colorless antistatic agent was prepared for use in antistatic films for liquid crystal displays (LCDs) requiring low surface resistance and high transmittance. Among various lithium-fluoro compounds and quaternary ammonium salts, antistatic materials were selected based on their electrical conductivity, and antistatic agents were prepared to measure the surface resistance. As a result, the material with high conductivity showed a relatively low surface resistance, i.e., relatively good antistatic performance. Based on the antistatic materials selected, the formulation ratio for producing the best antistatic agent was established through the experimental design method and the effects of each factor were analyzed. The higher the use of lithium- fluoro compounds as antistatic materials, the higher the ratio of oligomer use with multi-functional groups, and the smaller the surface resistance. The quaternary ammonium salts increased the antistatic performance of the lithium-fluoro compounds, but the effects of the amount used were not relatively large. After manufacturing the antistatic PET film, the properties of the antistatic film showed low surface resistance values (<10⁹ Ω/sq.), high permeability (>92%), low haze (<0.5%), and high whiteness (L^⁎>95). In addition, the antistatic film reliability was found to be excellent by showing a stable surface-resistance change rate of less than 10%, even under high temperature and high humidity conditions.

Applications of lanthanum ion and crude rare earth chloride to the phosphate wastewater and fluorine wastewater, respectively, as treatment agents were studied. For the investigation of phosphate removal characteristics according to the amount of lanthanum ion, initial phosphate content was decreased by about 50% when molar ratio of [$La^{3+}$]:[$PO_4{^{3-}}-P$] was 0.25 and nearly all of phosphate was removed when the molar ratio of [$La^{3+}$]:[$PO_4{^{3-}}-P$] to be doubled. The removal of phosphate by $La^{3+}$ appeared to reach equilibrium state rapidly, and it was exothermic reaction since the removed amount of phosphate was diminished somewhat when the reaction temperature was increased. The zeta potential of combined particulate compound of lanthanum ion and phosphate was located for its isoelectric point at pH 5.5 and the turbidity of treated wastewater was found to vary according to the pH in a similar manner as the absolute value of zeta potential of the combined particulate compound did. For the treatment of fluorine wastewater by crude rare earth chloride, the remaining fluorine content after treatment decreased as the dosage of crude rare earth chloride increased. Whereas, the turbidity of treated wastewater and the amount of sludge generated were shown to increase as more crude rare earth chloride was added. The remaining fluorine content and the turbidity of treated wastewater were decreased and the amount of sludge generated was observed to increase according the increase of coagulant dosage under the condition of constant input of crude rare earth chloride.

염소와 불소 혼합가스와 펄스 직류 전원 플라즈마를 이용하여 GaAs/$Al_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}As$의 선택적 식각을 연구하였다. 식각 주요 공정 변수는 혼합 플라즈마에서 불소 가스의 유량(0~50%) 이었다. 다른 공정 조건은 공정 압력, 펄스 파워, 펄스 주파수, 리버스 시간이 이 있다. 저진공(~100 mTorr) 플라즈마에 대한 연구로 한정하여 기계적 펌프만을 사용하여 공정을 진행하였다. 오실로스코프(Oscilloscope) 데이터에 의하면 가스의 조성 변화에도 척에 걸리는 입력 전압과 전류가 거의 변화가 없었다. $BCl_3/SF_6$플라즈마에서 $SF_6$가스가 10%의 조성에서 GaAs와 $Al_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}As$의 식각 선택비가 약 50:1로 우수한 결과를 나타내었다. 혼합 플라즈마에서 $SF_6$가스의 증가는 GaAs의 식각율과 선택도를 감소시켰다. 그리고 불소 성분 가스의 조성비가 일정량 이상일 경우에는 GaAs와 $Al_{0.2}Ga_{0.8}As$가 거의 식각되지 않았다. 위의 결과들을 종합적으로 보면 펄스 직류 전원 $BCl_3/SF_6$플라즈마에서 불소의 조성비는 GaAs의 선택적 식각에서 중요한 역할을 함을 알 수 있었다.
