Pythagolas rule was used for investigation of static contact angle in particular figures. Static contact angle measurement was important to evaluate the wettability between solid and liquid. Optimum measurement method and standardization of calculation for static contact angle were investigated for practical application. Optimum diameter of droplet for static contact angle measurement was confirmed as 1 mm. Contact angle measurement using Pythagolas rule was also used to calculate advancing, receding angle and wettability of different surface condition. At last, it was concluded that the Pythagolas rule method was more accurate than general lineation method for static contact angle measurement.

To analyze the interfacial property between the fiber and the matrix, work of adhesion was used generally that was calculated by surface energies. In this paper, it was determined what types of contact angle measurement methods were more accurate between static and dynamic contact angle measurements. 4 types of glass fiber and epoxy resin were used each other to measure the contact angle. The contact angle was measured using two types, static and dynamic contact angle methods, and work of adhesion, W_a was calculated to compare interfacial properties. The interfacial property was evaluated using microdroplet pull-out test. Generally, the interfacial property was proportional to work of adhesion. In the case of static contact angle, however, work of adhesion was not consistent with interfacial property. It is because that dynamic contact angle measurement comparing to static contact angle could delete the error due to microdroplet size to minimize the surface area as well as the meniscus measuring error.

상용의 PS가 가지는 소수 특성을 아르곤, 수소, 산소 이온을 이온 보조 반응법을 이용하여 PS의 표면에 조사하여 PS의 표면을 친수성을 증대시켰으며 이때의 친수성의 변화는 각 이온의 비율과 전류의 세기 및 전압의 변화에 따라 측정하였다. 이온 소스는 직경 5cm의 cold hollow cathod ion gun을 이용하였으며 이온 조사량은 5$\times$1014 ~ 1$\times$1017까지 변화시키고 산소의 유량은 0~6sccm까지 변화시키고 수소의 유량 또한 0~6sccm 까지 변화시키면서 극성 용매인 물과의 접촉각을 정적 접촉각 측정기를 이용하여 측정하였다. 또한 일정 조건에서 이온의 조사 후 대기와 물속에서 시간에 따른 물의 접촉각의 변화를 측정하였다. 표면에 형성된 극성 그룹을 조사하기 위하여 XPS를 측정하였다. XPS 측정결과 표면에 C-O, C=O, (C=O)-O와 같은 극성 작용기가 형성되었음을 확인하였으나 PS 표면에 생성된 정확한 작용기를 구분하기 어려웠다. 따라서 좀더 세밀한 조사를 위하여 FT-IR을 이용하여 이온 조사 조건에 따른 PS 표면의 분자단의 Peak 변화를 관찰하였다.

상용의 PVC가 갖는 소수 특성을 개선하기 위해 산소, 아르곤, 수소 이온의 이온 보조 반응법을 이용하여 표면의 친수성을 증대시키고 이때 친수성 증가의 직접적 원인인 표면에너지 증가를 각각의 이온조사에 따라서 비교하였다. 이온 소스는 직경 5-cm의 cold hollow cathod ion gun을 이용하였으며 산소, 아르곤, 수소이온을 이온 조사량 5$\times$1014~1$\times$1017ions/cm2까지 변화시키고 산소의 유량을 0~8sccm까지 변화시키면서 표면 에너지 변화를 관찰하였다. 표면 에너지는 두 가지의 극성 용매인 물과 포름아마이드의 접촉각을 정적 접촉각 측정기를 이용하여 측정한 후에 이로부터 dispersion force와 polar force를 계산하여 얻었다. 계산된 결과를 보면 처리 전과후의 dispersion force의 변화는 거의 없으나 polar force는 크게 증가하였다. 이때 표면 에너지의 증가는 표면 형상의 변화와 극성을 띠는 친수성기의 증가로 여겨지며 각각의 경우에 대한 분석을 위해 AFM과 XPS 분석을 시행하여 각각의 이온에 따르는 표면 형상의 변화와 친수성기의 형성 및 상대적인 양을 비교하였다.

Atmospheric pressure plasma treatment on carbon nanotube (CNT) surfaces was performed to modify reinforcement effect and interfacial adhesion of carbon fiber reinforced CNT-phenolic composites. The surface changes occurring on CNT treated with plasma were analyzed by using Fourier transform infrared spectroscope (FT-IR). The significant improvement of wettability on CNT was confirmed by static contact angle test after plasma treatment. Such plasma treatment resulted in a decrease in the advancing contact angle from $118^{\circ}$ to $60^{\circ}$. The interfacial adhesion between carbon fiber and CNT-phenolic composites increased by plasma treatment based on apparent modulus test results during quasi-static tensile strength. Furthermore, the proposed database offers valuable knowledge for evaluating interfacial shear strength (IFSS).

In this study, the behavior of water droplets on a solid-infused surface was evaluated by quantifying a water droplet's contact angle, sliding angle, and terminal velocity. The contact angle hysteresis and sliding angle of water on the solid-infused surface were measured to be lower than those of the hydrophobic PTFE surface. It led to the enhancement of the initiation of the water droplet's movement. When the capillary number was lower than Ca < 0.004, the terminal velocity of the water droplet on the solid-infused surface was higher than the PTFE surface due to the low contact line resistance. However, the transition of the droplet morphology from a hemispherical shape to a streamlined teardrop shape beyond Ca > 0.004 lost the effect of reducing frictional resistance on the solid-infused surface.

Interfacial evaluation and hydrophobicity of Ni-nanopowder/epoxy composites were investigated for self-sensing and actuation. Contact resistance and resistivity were measured using gradient micro-specimens. The actuation of the composites in the electromagnetic field was studied with three wave functions, i.e., sine, triangle and square functions. Due tothe presence of hydrophobic domains on the heterogeneous surface, the static contact angle of Ni-nanopowder/epoxy nanocomposite wasabout $100^{\circ}$, which was rather lower than that for super-hydrophobicity. The dynamic contact angle showed the similar trend of static contact angle. Ni-nanopowder/epoxy composite was responded wellfor both self-sensing and actuation in electromagnetic field due to the intrinsic metal property of Ni-nanopowder. Displacement of the actuator of Ni-nanopowder/epoxy composite was evaluated to obtain the maximum and the optimum performance using laser displacement sensor as functions of the wave type, frequency, and voltage. Actuation of Ni-nanopowder/epoxy composites also increased as functions of applied frequency and voltage. Actuated strain increased more rapidly at sine wave with increasing voltage compared to those of triangle or rectangular waves.

This investigation was performed to collect fundamental informations concerning the behavior of glass solders on ceramic joining process. The wettability of glasses on two types of alumina was evaluated by sessile drop method. SiO$_2$-CaO-Al$_2$O$_3$system glasses were selected as solder glasses, and alumina that have different purities were used for substrate materials. It is indicated that contact angles of glasses on 99% purity of alumina substrate do not change as increasing time at elevated temperature, however the contact angles on the 92% purity of alumina substrate exhibit the strong time dependency. The time-dependent property on 92% alumina was due to the interlayer reactions occurred between the glass solder and impurities on the substrate.

Dispersion and electrical resistance (ER) properties of polyurethane (PU) type topcoat were evaluated using carbon nanotube (CNT) with different CNT weight fraction. CNT was dispersed in PU type topcoat using ultra sonication dispersion method. CNT/PU topcoat was coated on carbon fiber reinforced epoxy composite (CFRC) surface using gravity feed spraying method. Static contact angles of CFRC and CNT/PU topcoat were performed using 4 types of solvents to calculate the work of adhesion between CNT/PU topcoat and CFRC surface. Surface resistance of CNT added PU topcoat was measured to determine CNT dispersion. Adhesion property between CNT/PU topcoat and CFRC was determined via cross hatch cutting test based on ASTM D3359. The optimized condition of CNT weight fraction was found.
