Durability testing method trends of the thermal barrier coating(TBC) for the combustion chamber of the liquid-propellant rocket engine have been investigated. Many types of the durability testing method such as the mechanical tests to measure surface cohesion force, the thermal fatigue tests with laser, furnace, burner or plasma, the small scale combustion tests using injectors, and the thermo-mechanical fatigue tests were observed. The TBC with sufficient durability can be selected for the use of combustion chamber through such specimen-level tests and the durability can be verified by the tests using the real scale combustion chambers.

최근 유기물을 사용한 유기 태양 전지의 주된 제작 방식은 유기물질을 유기용매에 녹여 사용 하는 스핀코팅 방식이다. 스핀코팅은 박막 형성이 쉽고 대량생산이 용이하다는 장점이 있지만, 표면분석의 측면에서 보면 박막이 한번에 형성되기 때문에 전극 위에 유기물질이 박막을 형성하는 순간의 계면을 측정하기 어렵다. 그에 반해 진공전기분무 방식은 진공에서 얇은 박막에서부터 점차적으로 두께를 늘려가며 증착 할 수 있고 또한 증착이 진공에서 이루어져서 불순물을 최소화 할 수 있기 때문에 표면분석의 측면에서 용이하다. 특히 본 실험에서는 유기 태양전지에서 벌크 이질접합(bulk heterojunction)을 만드는데 널리 쓰이는 물질인 Poly(3-hexythiophene) (P3HT)과 (PCBM)을 toluene에 녹인 후(0.2 mg/ml), 4-5 kV 사이의 전압을 인가하여, 고전압을 걸어 준 뒤 $5{\times}10^{-6}$ torr의 조건에서 분무하여 Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) 위에 박막의 두께를 늘려가며 증착시켰다. 이렇게 ITO 위에 만들어진 P3HT와 PCBM의 박막을 Photoemission spectroscopic (PES)을 이용하여 따른 화학적 구조와 전자구조를 분석하였고, 또한 동일한 농도의 용액으로 스핀코팅 방법을 이용하여 만든 시료와 앞서 언급한 조건의 진공전기분무 방법을 이용하여 만든 시료 사이의 표면거칠기와 morphology는 Atomic Force Microscopy(AFM)을 이용하여 비교 분석하였다.

This paper was designed to assess the adhesive properties of hard coatings on non-nitrided and nitrided various tool steels. Estimations of adhesion were done to scratch test which is mainly used in hard coating. The critical load$(L_c)$ between coating and substrate is defined through analysis of frictional load vs. normal load curve, signals of acoustic emission and optical observations. Coatings employed in this study are TiN, CrN and TiAlN, tools as substrates are STD11, STD61 and SKH51. It was classified to substrates with/without intermediate nitrided layer and hard coatings on substrate were deposited by arc PVD. Results showed that harder substrates and coatings give higher values of critical loads.

The formation of thermal stresses by plasma spraying is generally considered as adverse. Therefore, the knowledge of stress distribution in the deposited layer during and after plasma spraying will be of special interest. In this study finite difference heat transfer analysis and finite element stress analysis were carried out to predict the change of stress distribution in the plasma coated layer with the variations of preheat temperature, number of scan, particle size, and bond coat. The results of the numerical analysis were as follows: 1) Transient stresses developed in the coated layer were up to the level of yiedl strength at the temperature. 2) The tensile stresses were developed in the deposited layer and the surface of the substrate, but the compressive stresses were developed in the rest of the substrate. 3) Transient and residual stresses were significantly affected by the preheat temperature. 4) The variations of temperature of powder particle and number of torch scan changed tensile stress distribution, but made no difference on the magnitude of the stresses. 5) Bond coated layer reduced the stree level of deposited layer.

유기박막트랜지스터의 특성을 개선하기 위해서는 유기반도체와의 좋은 접합과 유전상수가 주요한 요인으로 작용한다. 무기 산화물 전구체와 유기고분자를 이용하여 유기 고분자의 단정인 낮은 유전율을 개선하였다. 스핀코팅 방법이 아닌 딥코팅 방법을 이용하여 절연막 두께를 10nm정도로 낮추어 구동전압을 개선하였으며 무기 절연체의 높은 누설전류 또한 그 특성이 개선되어 우수한 절연 특성을 보였다. 유-무기 복합체를 이용한 게이트 절연막과 펜타센을 이용한 유기박막트랜지스터의 구동전압은 1V정도에서 구동가능하며, 점멸비, 이동도 모두 개선된 결과를 보였다.

Direct coating of catalyst layer on the $Nafion^{(R)}$ membrane has been optimized in the process of fabrication of membrane electrode assembly (MEA) to enhance the performance of direct methanol fuel cell (DMFC). In this method, the contact resistance at the interface of the catalyst layer and the membrane was found to be low. The effect of catalyst loading, thickness of membrane and the gas diffusion layer (GDL) with or without the presence of micro-porous layer (MPL) on the performance of the MEA was also investigated. The MEA fabricated by the above-mentioned method exhibited a performance of $147\;mW/cm^2$ and $100\;mW/cm^2$ at $80^{\circ}C$ and $60^{\circ}C$, respectively, with the catalysts loading of $4\;mg/cm^2$.

Double-layered polymer electrolyte membranes were prepared from two different sulfonated poly(aryl ether sulfone) copolymers by the two-step solution casting method for direct methanol fuel cells (DMFC). Sulfonation degrees were adjusted 10% (SPAES-10) and 50% (SPAES-50) by controlling monomer ratios, and the weight ratios of SPAES-10 copolymer were varied in the range of 5~20% to investigate the effect of thickness of coating layers on the membranes. Proton conducting layers were fabricated from SPAES-50 solutions of N-methyl-2-pyrrolidone (NMP) by a solution casting technique, and coating layers formed on the semiliquid surface of the conducting layer by pouring of SPAES-10-NMP solutions onto. It was found that double-layered polymer electrolyte membrane could significantly reduce the methanol crossover through the membrane and maintain high proton conductivities being comparable to single-layered SPAES-50 membrane. The maximum power density of membrane-electrolyte assembly (MEA) at the condition of $60^{\circ}C$ and 2 M methanol-air was $134.01\;mW/cm^2$ for the membrane prepared in the 5 wt-% of SPAES-10 copolymer, and it was corresponding to the 105.5% of the performance of the commercial Nafion 115 membrane.

The rotating components in the hot sections of land-based gas turbine are exposed to severe environments during several tens thousand operation hours at above $1100^{\circ}C$ operation temperature. To protect such components from high temperature oxidation, an intermediate bond coat is applied, typical of a MCrAlY-type metal alloy. This study is concerned with the thermal cyclic behavior of thermal barrier coatings. The MCrAlY bond coatings are deposited by HVOF (High Velocity Oxygen Fuel) method on a nickel-based superalloy (GTD-111). Thermal cyclic tests at $1100^{\circ}C$ in ambient air for various periods of time were used to evaluate the thermal cyclic resistance of the TBC coating. The microstructure and morphology of as-sprayed and of thermal cycled coatings were characterized by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) equipped with energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and X-ray diffraction (XRD).
