기존에 전자부품들에 사용되어 온 봉착용, 결합용, 코팅용 유리들은 타유리와 비교하여 낮은 융점을 가지고 있으면서도 열처리 전후에 물리, 화학적으로 매우 안정한 특성을 가지고 있는 PbO를 50~85% 이상 함유한 유리들이 대부분을 차지해왔다. 그러나 PbO 성분은 산성비 등의 산에 용해되어 Pb이온이 생성되면서 환경오염의 원인이 되기 때문에 유해성분으로 규정하고 있다. 최근 유해물질의 규제가 강화됨에 따라 PbO를 대체할 수 있는 $B_2O_3,\;Bi_2O_3,\;V_2O_5,\;P_2O_5$ 등의 새로운 조성의 유리에 대한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 봉착용으로 사용되는 인산계 유리에서 RO계 첨가에 따른 TMA와 고온현미경, 필테스트를 통하여 접합성 및 열적특성 등의 변화에 대하여 조사하였다.

유비쿼터스 시대를 맞이하여 현재의 전자제품은 초고주파 환경에서의 소형화된 마이크로파 소자를 요구하고 있다. 마이크로파 대역에서 세라믹 소재는 대부분의 폴리머 소재에 비해 낮은 유전손실 값을 보이고 있어 향후 확대되는 고주파화에 적합한 소재로 평가되고 있다. 하지만 세라믹 재료는 깨지기 쉬운 특성을 가지고 있어 공정 및 취급이 어려우며 높은 소결온도를 가지고 있어 융점이 낮은 재료와의 집적화에 있어서 난점을 가지고 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구실에서는 실온에서 세라믹을 비롯한 금속 및 폴리머 재료의 치밀한 코팅막의 성막 및 이종 접합이 가능한 Aerosol Deposition (AD 법)에 주목하였고 마이크로파 소자 제작 공정으로서 AD 법의 응용 가능성을 연구하였다. 마이크로파 소자의 기판으로서는 AD 법을 이용하여 유전손실이 낮고 플렉서블한 $Al_2O_3$-PTFE 혼합 기판을 제작하고 적용하였다. 금속 선로 패터닝 제작 공정으로는 도금법이 대표적이지만 고비용 및 복잡한 공정 절차, 폐화학용액으로 인한 환경문제 등의 단점을 지니고 있어 이를 대체하는 금속 선로 패터닝 공정이 절실히 요구되고 있다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 AD 법을 이용하여 금속 필름을 제작하고 대체 공정으로서의 가능성을 확인하였다. 하지만 AD 법을 이용한 세라믹 필름 제작에 관한 연구는 크게 활성화되어 있는 반면에 금속 필름의 제작, 특성 측정 및 개선에 관한 연구는 그에 비해 미비한 수준이다. 이를 위해 이번 연구에서는 AD 법을 이용하여 금속 필름을 성막 시에 영향을 미치는 요인을 고찰하였으며 또한 마이크로파 소자의 도체 손실에 크게 관계되는 금속 필름의 비저항 특성의 측정 및 개선에 관한 연구를 수행하였다. 이를 위해 본 연구에서는 정전장 시뮬레이션을 활용하여 AD 법으로 성막된 금속 필름의 정밀한 비저항 측정에 관한 연구방법을 마련하고 후열처리를 통한 비저항 특성을 개선시키는 연구를 진행하였다.

현재 결정질 실리콘 태양전지의 전 후면 전극의 형성은 스크린 프린팅 방법이 주를 이루고 있다. 스크린 프린팅 방법은 쉽고 빠르게 인쇄가 가능한 반면 단가가 높고 금속 페이스트에 첨가된 여러 혼합물에 의해서 전극과 기판 사이의 저항이 크다는 단점이 있다. 본 논문에서는 스크린 프린팅 방법으로 태양전지의 seed layer를 인쇄하고, Cu도금을 진행함으로써 태양전지의 전기적 특성을 비교하였다. 주요 전극 형성을 Cu 도금을 사용함으로써 전극과 기판사이의 저항을 감소시키고 값비싼 Ag페이스트를 값싼 Cu로 대체함으로써 가격을 낮출 수 있는 장점이 있다. 실험에 사용된 Si 웨이퍼 특성은 $156{\times}156$ mm2, 200 ${\mu}m$, 0.5-3.0 ${\Omega}{\cdot}cm$ and p-type 웨이퍼를 사용하였다. 웨이퍼는 표면조직화, p-n접합 형성, 반사방지막 코팅을 하였으며 스크린 프린팅 방법을 이용해 전 후면 전극을 인쇄하고 열처리 과정을 통해 전극을 형성하였다. 이 후 전면에 Cu도금을 실행하여 태양전지를 완성하였다. 완성된 태양전지는 솔라 시뮬레이터 및 TLM패턴을 이용하여 전기적 특성을 분석하였으며, SEM과 linescan, 광학현미경 등을 이용하여 전극을 분석하였다.

Friction surfacing of STS304 consumable rod on S45C substrate was investigated by microstructural observation and mechanical tests. STS304 layer formed a strongly-bonded thick layer under a wide range of surfacing conditions. The highest coating eefficiency was obtained in the condition of 1000rpm-2.5mm/sec-2.5mm/sec. The hardness distribution showed the peak value in the boundary layer and as the consumable rotation speed increased, the boundary layer also hardness increasing. As the consumable rotation speed and the traveling speed increased, the coating efficiency tended to decrease. On the other hand, as the feeding speed increased, the coating efficiency appeared to be increased. The new Fe-Cr-Ni alloy layer is showed in the interface layer on $5\~15{\mu}m$ width. After friction surfacing, corrosion resistance of STS 304 surfacing layers were equaled to that of STS304 consumable rod.

In this study, Cu-based bulk metallic glass (BMG) coatings were deposited by atmospheric plasma spraying (APS) process with different process conditions (with- and without hydrogen gas). As adding the hydrogen gas, thermal energy in the plasma flame increased and induced difference in the melting state of the Cu-based BMG particles. The microstructure and mechanical properties of the coatings were analyzed using a scanning electron microscope (SEM) with an energy dispersive spectroscopy (EDS) and nano-indentation tester in the light of phase analysis. It was elucidated by the nano-indentation tests that un-melted region was a mainly amorphous phase which showed discrete plasticity observed as the flow serrations on the load.displacement (P - h) curves, and the curves of solidified region showed lower flow serrations as amorphous phase mingled with crystalline phase. Oxides produced during the spraying process had the highest hardness value among the phases and were well mixed with other phases resulted from the increase in melting degree.

An inert gas atomized NiTiZrSiSn bulk metallic glass feedstock was sprayed onto the copper plate using vacuum plasma spraying process. In order to change the in-flight particle energy, that is, thermal energy, the hydrogen gas flow rate in plasma gas mixture was increased at the constant flow rate of argon gas. Coating and single pass spraying bead were produced with the least feeding rate. Regardless of the plasma gas composition, fully melted through unmelted particle could be observed on the overlay coating. However, the frequency of the unmelted particle number density was increased with the decrease of the hydrogen gas flow rate. The amorphous phase fraction within coating was also affected by the number density of the unmelted particle.

In order to improve polymer electrolyte membrane fuel cell (PEMFC) durability, the durability of membrane electrode assemblies (MEA), in which the electrochemical reactions actually occur, is one of the vital issues. Many articles have dealt with catalyst layer degradation of the durability-related factors on MEAs in relation to loss of catalyst surface area caused by agglomeration, dissolution, migration, formation of metal complexes and oxides, and/or instability of the carbon support. Degradation of catalyst layer during long-term operation includes cracking or delamination of the layer which result either from change in the catalyst microstructure or loss of electronic or ionic contact with the active surface, can result in apparent activity loss in the catalyst layer. Membrane degradation of the durability-related factors on MEAs can be caused by mechanical or thermal stress resulting in formation of pinholes and tears and/or by chemical attack of hydrogen peroxide radicals formed during the electrochemical reactions. All of these effects, the mechanical damage of membrane and degradation of catalyst layers are more facilitated by uneven stress or improper MEA fabrication process. In order to improve the PEMFC durability, therefore, it is most important to minimize the uneven stress or improper MEA fabrication process in the course of the fabrication of MEA. We analyzed the effects of the MEA fabrication condition on the PEMFC durability with MEA produced using CCM (catalyst coated membrane) method. This paper also investigated the effects of MEA fabrication condition on the PEMFC durability by adding additional treatment process, hot pressing and pressing, on the MEA produced using CCM method.

Boron nitride (BN) and carbon nitride (CN) films, which have relatively low work functions and commonly exhibit negative electron affinity behaviors, were coated on carbon nanotubes (CNTs) by magnetron sputtering. The CNTs were directly grown on metal-tip (tungsten, approximately 500nm in diameter at the summit part) substrates by inductively coupled plasma-chemical vapor deposition (ICP-CVD). The variations in the morphology and microstructure of CNTs due to coating of the BN and CN films were analyzed by field-emission scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The energy dispersive x-ray (EDX) spectroscopy and Raman spectroscopy were used to identify the existence of the coated layers (CN and BN) on CNTs. The electron-emission properties of the BN-coated and CN-coated CNT-emitters were characterized using a high-vacuum field emission measurement system, in terms of their maximum emission currents ($I_{max}$) at 1kV and turn-on voltage ($V_{on}$) for approaching $1{\mu}A$. The results showed that the $I_{max}$ current was significantly increased and the $V_{on}$ voltage were remarkably reduced by the coating of CN or BN films. The measured values of $I_{max}-V_{on}$ were as follows; $176{\mu}A$-500V for the 5nm CN-coated emitter and $289{\mu}A$-540V for the 2nm BN-coated emitter, respectively, while the $I_{max}-V_{on}$ of the as-grown (i.e., uncoated) emitter was $134{\mu}A$-620V. In addition, the CNT emitters coated with thin CN or BN films also showed much better long-term (up to 25h) stability behaviors in electron emission, as compared with the conventional CNT emitter.

Al$_2$O$_3$-TiO$_2$powders of six different compositions were plasma-sprayed on Ti substrate. The spray powders and the spray coated layers were analysed and compared using SEM and X-RD. The elastic properties (specific elastic constant and damping coefficient) of the coated specimens were measured in order to select the optimum composition range of ceramics for use in a speaker diaphragm. A correlation between the microstructure and elastic properties was also investigated. When $Al_2$O$_3$powders with 0- 13% TiO$_2$were plasma sprayed, the coated layers were composed of metastable y-Al$_2$O$_3$with small amount of $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$and the content of $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$was increased with TiO$_2$content. Specific elastic constant was rapidly increased with 2 and 13% TiO$_2$addition to $Al_2$O$_3$. The internal damping was nearly unchanged with TiO$_2$content The specific elastic constant seemed to be dependent on the content of $\alpha$-Al$_2$O$_3$in the coated layer.

A composite film of polyurethane(PU)-graft-poly(acrylic acid) (PAAc)/polyaniline (PU-g-AAc/PANI) was successfully fabricated for the purpose of adding conductivity on the surface of a general purpose polymer and improving adhesive property between the general purpose polymer and conducting polymer layer. The results from ATR-FTIR and XPS analyses also supported the successful synthesis of the composite film by showing characteristic peaks for every step. A low surface resistivity of $2{\times}10^3\;ohm/sq$ proved the surface conductivity of synthesized PU-g-AAc/PANI film and the surface resistance decreased with increasing the amount of grafted AAc, which acted as a dopant for PANI film.
