Short fiber reinforced composites manufactured by injection molding have diverse fiber orientations variable with measuring positions even in the same specimen, which is caused by the flow induced fiber orientation. Fiber orientations considerably affect the mechanical and thermal properties of final composite products. In this study, fiber orientation of injection molded carbon fiber reinforced PA6/PPO composite was measured at several points of the specimen by optical microscopy analysis and the corresponding izod impact strength, coefficients of thermal expansion (CTE) were also measured to investigate the influence of local fiber orientation on the mechanical and thermal properties. Izod impact strength where fiber was perpendicular to the direction of crack propagation was higher than where fiber was parallel to the direction, which could be explained be the impact resistance reinforcing mechanism by fiber orientation. CTE was also lower where fiber was parallel to the measurement direction of CTE than where fiber was perpendicular to the direction, which could be also explained by the dimensional stability mechanism by fiber orientation.

In this review, I present the configuration behaviors of various Janus particles at fluid-fluid interfaces. As a model system, Janus spheres, Janus ellipsoids, and Janus dumbbells are selected to investigate the effect of shape, size, and wettability on their configurations. In particular cases, Janus ellipsoids can adopt two distinct configurations (i.e., upright and tilted configurations) due to the presence of two energy minima in the attachment energy profile. On the contrary, a single energy minimum is found in the case of Janus dumbbells such that they adopt either the upright or tilted configuration. Interestingly, the geometric and chemical asymmetry and anisotropy in the characteristic properties of Janus dumbbells lead to an intermediate state in which the particles can rotate freely in a certain range of orientation angles.

CoCr 박막에 있어서 C축 결정배향성과 미세구조 변화에 대한 Co73Cr27 씨앗층의 영향이 조사되 었다. 기록밀도가 높고 재생전압도 높은 CoCr 수직기록매체를 개발하기 위해서는 CoCr층의 두께가 엷 으면서 결정배향성이 우수하고 결정립 크기가 적고 균일한 자성기록막 제조가 필요하다. CoCr 단층막 또는 CoCr/퍼말로이 이중막 제조에서 500$\AA$정도의 Co73Cr27 층을 씨앗층으로 만들어 줌으러써 기록층인 CoCr 박막이 $0.2mu$m의 두께에서도 천이층이 거의 없고 결정배향성이 우수한 자성막을 제조할 수 있었 다. 또한 Co73Cr27 씨앗층은 비록 결정립 크기는 증가시켰지만 기록층의 에피택시 성장에 보다 바람직 한 것으로 조사되었다.

Sputter deposited CoCr(Mo)/Si film were studied with emphasis on the correlation between magnetic properties and crystallographic orientation. The perpendicular coercivities of CoCr films decreased with Si underlayer thickness, whereas those of CoCrMo films increased with Si underlayer thickness. It has been explained that additions of the larger atomic radius Mo atoms in CoCr films impedes crystal growth resulting in a decrease in grain size, thus this small grain size may induce high perpendicular coercivity. The c-axis alignment of CoCrMo film was improved due to addition of 2at.%Mo. It means CoCrMo layer grow self-epitaxial directly from orientation and structure of Si underlayer when the main layer grow on underlayer.

From UV irradiation, we achieved homeotropic liquid crystal alignment on blended photo-polymer layer which is composed of polyvinyl-cinnamate (PVCi) and homeotropic polyimide (PI). From vertical alignment (VA) mode, we measured threshold voltages by various PVCi doping concentration. Also, the rise time and fall time of VA cells were measured to verify the best doping concentration. Transmittance curves showed about 70% value between 380 nm and 780 nm wavelength which mean visible region.

This paper introduces homogeneous liquid crystal (LC) orientations on chemically modulated polystyrene (PS) surfaces using various ion beam (IB) exposure time. Transparent PS was replaced with conventional polyimde material. Especially, PS has higher transparent property than conventional polyimide thin film and it means PS is more suitable material for producing high brightness mobile LCD. As a non-contact process, IB bombardment process induced LC orientation in the direction parallel to the IB process. Through x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, it was shown that the chemical compositional changes of the IB-irradiated PS surfaces were determined as a function of IB exposure time. Using this analysis, the optimal IB bombardment condition was determined at IB exposure time of up to 15 s. Moreover, thermal stability on IB-irradiated PS surfaces were carried out which showed that a relatively high IB exposure time induced a thermally stable LC alignment property. And it has a highly potential of mobile high transparent mobile LCD such as smart phone display and mobile information device.

We studied the orientation behavior and thermal stability of polyimide (PI) molecules under irradiation of polarized UV (PUV) using polarized fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy. In the case of PUV-exposed PI films, the remaining PI molecules after photo-degradation showed molecular orientation perpendicular to the irradiated PUV polarization direction predominantly, due to the preferential degradation of PI molecules parallel to the irradiated PUV Polarization direction. On the other hand, the rubbing of PI films induced reorientation of the PI molecules parallel to the rubbing direction. We also investigated the thermal stability of the alignment layers furled by rubbing and PUV irradiation on the PI films using Polarized FTIR. The thermal stability of the PUV irradiated PI alignment layer is lower than that of the rubbed PI layer due to the fragmentation reaction of the PI by PUV.

To expand the viewing angle of vertical alignment liquid crystal display (VA-LCD), a wide-band compensation film has been newly developed. VA-LCD needs a retardation film with improved oblique viewing property. The retardation film for VA-LCD has been fabricated by solvent casting and subsequent drawing triacetylcellulose (TAC) containing optical additives. Here, optical birefringence and wavelength dispersion of the retardation film strongly depend on the chemical structures of optical additives. Utilizing quantum mechanical computation, the polarizing anisotropy of retardation film was calculated with respect to additives. It is also realized that the wavelength dispersion of polarizing anisotropy depends on the type and location of substituent to the selected main isomer. When two propionates are substituted to the meta position of the selected main isomer, the wavelength dispersion of polarizing anisotropy shows the most gentle slop, which is well matched with the experimental results. The most gentle slop of wavelength dispersion means that the viewing angle characteristics of LCD are less influenced according to the wavelength of light source of LCD, and it's possible to make better image quality than the present level.

보편적으로 알려진 CoCr합금 수직기록매체의 경우, 기록매체에서 출력되는 신호의 크기가 작고 열적안정성이 떨어지는 문제점이 있다. 이러한 CoCr합금 수직기록매체를 대체할 기록 매체로 Co/Pd 다층박막에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. Co/Pt 및 Co/Pd계 다층박막은 수직배향성을 가지며 일찍부터 Magneto-optical 매체로 연구되었다. Co/Pd 다층박막은 자성재료와 비자성재료를 약 2~3개 원자층의 박막 두께(10$\AA$이하)로 번갈아 가며 진공증착한 것으로. CoCr합금계 수직기록매체에 비해 열적안정성이 뛰어나고 수직방향의 잔류 자화가 큰 장점을 가지고 있다. (중략)
