알루미늄은 취약한 내식성을 보완하기 위하여 나노다공성의 산화물 피막을 형성하는 양극산화 처리를 주로 활용한다. 이러한 나노다공성 산화물 피막에 소수성 처리와 불용성의 윤활유를 침지하면 표면에 접촉하는 물을 비롯한 다른 유체들의 젖음성을 크게 감소시킬 수 있으며, 이로 인하여 부식성 물질이 다공성 구조물로 침입하는 것을 억제할 수 있다. 따라서 양극산화 피막에 윤활유 침지를 이용하여 알루미늄의 부식에 대한 저항성을 크게 향상시킬 수 있으며, 추가적으로 외부의 물리적인 손상에 대한 치유 능력을 얻을 수 있다. 이러한 성능뿐만 아니라 침지된 윤활유의 내구성은 나노다공성 산화피막의 물리적 형상에 따라 차이가 날 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 나노다공성의 양극산화 피막의 기공 구조를 다양하게 변화시켜 그 형상에 따라서 윤활유를 침지 후 알루미늄 소재의 내식성 및 자기 치유 특성의 차이에 대하여 알아보았다. 기공의 형상은 한쪽 끝이 막혀있는 기둥형, 후처리를 통한 확장된 기둥형 및 침상형의 기공 구조를 제조하였고, 전압제어를 통한 병목 형상의 기공 구조를 구현하여 그 특성 차이를 비교하였다. 기공들이 서로 고립된 형태를 가질수록 윤활유가 안정적으로 산화물에 침지될 수 있으며, 기공의 공간이 클수록 더 많이 윤활유를 포함하여 우수한 자기 치유 특성을 보여주었다. 병목 형상의 가공 구조는 내부의 충분한 크기의 기공 공간과 표면에 작은 기공을 가지고 있기 때문에 우수한 내구성과 자기 치유 특성을 보여준다.

The present study investigated the effect of heat treatment process on the surface wettability of an Al-Si-Mg alloy. After solution-treated at $525^{\circ}C$ and aged at $160^{\circ}C$, the alloy showed high hardness due to the formation of precipitates. In addition, surface wettability was improved in such a way that the contact angle of distilled water droplet on the flat surface decreased to $37.6{\sim}42.1^{\circ}$ after the heat treatment. The surface energy predicted by Owens-Wendt equation also confirmed the increase of surface energy after the heat-treatment. However, when the surface roughness increased, the positive effect of the heat treatment on wettability diminished due to the geometrical factors of the rough surface.

This study presents the improved recovery efficiency of rare metal ions through the modified separation membrane wettability and hydrogen ion permeation in the anion exchange membrane (AEM) under the recovery process of combined electrodialysis and solvent extraction. Specifically, the wettability of the separator was enhanced by hydrophilic modification on one separator surface through polydopamine (PDA) and lipophilic modification on the other surface through SiO₂ or graphene oxide (GO). In addition, the modified surface of AEM with polyethyleneimine (PEI), PDA, poly(vinylidene fluoride) (PVDF), etc. reduces the water uptake and modify the pore structure for proton ions generation. The suppressed transport resulted in the reduced hydrogen ion permeation. In the characterization, the surface morphology, chemical properties and composition of membrane or AEM were analyzed with Scanning Electron Microscopy (SEM) and Fourier Transform-Infrared Spectroscopy (FT-IR). Based on the analyses, improved extraction and stripping and hydrogen ion transport inhibition were demonstrated for the copper ion recovery system.

The polycarboxylic (PC) type concrete superplasticizer was synthesized. The effects of ethylene oxide group number and its molecular weight on the properties of the polycarboxylic type concrete superplasticizer and the concrete motar properties were studied. To investigated of the interfacial properties of the premixed-concrete with the superplasticizer, the type and the amount of polyethylene glycol, meta acrylate added, and type of the initialization agent were studied. Also the interfacial properties of the superplasticizer aqueous phase, the wettability on the cement particle, the fluidity of the cement mortar, and the strength properties of the concrete were measured. For a high fluidity of the cement mortar and a high strength of concrete, a low value of the surface tension and contact angle were required for PC. To have a good performance for PC, the reaction condition of 1.3 mol ratio of MA against to MPEG was suitable with KSP initiator.

우리는 실리콘 마이크로구조-ZnO 나노막대 피라미드 구조의 제작 및 표면 특성에 대해서 연구했다. 실리콘 마이크로 피라미드 배열을 구성하는 에칭된 기판 위에 임의의 주기적인 계층 구조로 된 ZnO 나노막대를 성장시켰다. 습식 화학 에칭은 피라미드의 Si 미세 구조를 제작하기 위해 사용되며, 산화 아연 나노막대를 $90^{\circ}C$에서 수열 합성 방법으로 성장시켰다. 본 연구에서는 성장 시간과 피라미드 크기에 따라 ZnO 나노막대 길이와 두께를 조절하여 표면적을 넓히는 실험을 진행하였다. 성장시킨 ZnO 나노 구조들은 XRD (X-ray diffraction), FE-SEM (Field Emission Scanning electron microscopy), WCA (Water contact angle)를 통해 특성을 분석하였다. 젖음성 연구를 통해 ZnO 나노구조가 짧고 긴 성장 시간에 따라 친수성과 초친수성임을 확인하였다.

탄소 원자들이 육각형의 벌집 모양으로 배열된 그래핀은 강철보다 200배 이상 강하며, 다이아몬드보다 2배 이상 열전도율이 높으며, 구리보다 100배 이상 전기가 잘 통하며, 실리콘보다 100배 이상 전자가 빠르게 움직일 수 있는 장점이 있다. 그래핀의 이러한 기계적, 열적, 전기적 특성은 에너지 밴드 갭이 없는 그래핀의 전자구조에서 근거하고 있다. 그러나 이러한 에너지 밴드 갭이 없는 그래핀은 반도체가 아닌 준금속의 특성을 보이며, 전자산업의 핵심소자인 트랜지스터로의 상용화에 큰 장벽이 되고 있다. 이러한 그래핀의 단점을 보완하고자 그래핀 이외의 2D 물질에 주목하기 시작하였으며, 그 가운데 최근 $MoS_2$과 같은 Transiton-Metal dichalcogenide(TMD)에 대한 관심이 급증하고 있다. TMD 중 대표적인 물질인 MoS2는 단일 층이 직접 전이 밴드 갭을 가진 반도체로서 전자회로와 발광 다이오드에 이용될 잠재적 가능성을 가진 재료이다. 본 연구에서는 이러한 MoS2 박막 형성을 하기 위해서 대면적이고 저비용으로 만들 수 있는 spin coating을 이용하려고 한다. spin coating을 이용하여 박막을 얻기 위해서는 좋은 wettability가 필수적이므로 이를 개선하기 위하여 용액, 전처리에 따른 wettability를 비교한 후, 열처리를 하여 그 표면을 관찰하고 Raman spectroscopy를 이용하여 분석하여 최적의 조건을 찾기 위한 실험을 하였다.

Tannic acid is one of the most commonly found polyphenols in the vegetable field. Initially, research on tannins concentrated on physiological functions such as antioxidants. Recently, however, tannic acid has attracted much interest as a molecular glue as it has been found to interact virtually all bio-macromolecules such as proteins and DNA. The various properties of tannic acid are expected to control the wettability of the surface, contribute to energy storage and generation, and show potential as a medical agent. Here, tannic acid will be discussed about the interaction of with bio-macromolecules as a molecular glue, surface modification, and utilization of itself as biomaterials.

Recently transparent electrodes using carbon nanotube (CNT) have been studied actively to replace conventional ITO. In this work, CNT or ITO coated poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) were prepared by controlling the surfaces since the cohesion degree depends upon drying conditions. As transparent electrode application, 3 drying temperatures were set as 20, 80, and $120^{\circ}C$ to produce the change of surface properties. Interfacial durability and electrical properties of prepared transparent electrodes were evaluated by electrical resistance measurement. Surface change with changing drying temperature was observed by FE-SEM, whereas the transparency change was measured by UV-spectroscopy. The electronic properties of nanoparticle coated surface were evaluated using cyclic voltametry method upon the surface change with controlled drying temperature. Durability of CNT coated surfaces was better than ITO coated ease. As drying temperature increased, better coated surface was prepared due to improved cohesion among nanoparticles, which resulted in increased electrical properties.

The superhydrophobic and superoleophobic meshes surfaces have been used in various applications such as self-cleaning, anti-icing, gas exchange, oil-water separation, sound-wave penetrable anti-wetting structures, etc. In particular, there are many studies for oil-water separation with environmental issues. Because of high pressure and dynamic environment, oil-water separation filters must have stable surface properties as super-hydrophobicity and superoleophobicity. The oleophobicity of surface depends on the surface chemistry and roughness of the surface. The roughness of oleophobic surface enhances its static contact angle and stability. The multi-scale hierarchical structure provides a stable superhydrophobic state by maintaining a Cassie state. In this research, we fabricated a superoleophobic mesh with a multi-scale hierarchical structure to increase the pressure resistance and adjusted a size of the mesh hole.

Surface wettability in terms of the size of the micro nano structures has been examined. To evaluate the influence of the nano structures on the contact angles, we fabricated two different kinds of structures: squarepillar-type microstructure with nano-protrusions and without nano-protrusions. Microstructure and nanostructure arrays were fabricated by deep reactive ion etching (DRIE) and reactive ion etching (RIE) processes, respectively. And plasma polymerized fluorocarbon (PPFC) was finally deposited onto the fabricated structures. Average value of the measured contact angles from microstructures with nanoprotrusions was $6.37^{\circ}$ higher than that from microstructures without nano-protrusions. This result indicates that the nano-protrusions give a crucial effect to increase the contact angle.
