Surface modification is a technology to form a new surface layer and overcome the intrinsic properties of the base material by applying thermal energy or stress onto the surface of the material. The purpose of this technique is to achieve anti-corrosion, beautiful appearance, wear resistance, insulation and conductance for base materials. Surface modification techniques may include plating, chemical conversion treatment, painting, lining and surface hardening. Among which, a surface modification process using electrolytes has been investigated for a long time in connection with research on its industrial application. The technology is highly favoured by various fields because it provides not only high productivity and cost reduction opportunities, but also application availability for components with complex geometry. In this study, an electrochemical experiment was performed on the surface of 5083-O Al alloy to determine an optimal electrolyte temperature, which produces surface with excellent corrosion resistance under marine environment than the initial surface. The experiment result, the modified surface presented a significantly lower corrosion current density with increasing electrolyte temperature, except for $5^{\circ}C$ of electrolyte temperature at which premature pores was created.

In this study, we used 3-(trimethoxysilyl)propylmethacrylate(MPS) silane coupling agent for surface modification of silica nanoparticles. We studied effects of reaction conditions such as solvent pH, MPS hydrolysis time, reaction time, and molar ratio of MPS to Si-OH groups on silica nanoparticle surfaces, on the surface modification reactions of silica nanoparticles. Fourier Transform Infrared Spectroscopy(FTIR), Elemental Analysis(EA) and solid state crosspolarization magic angle spinning(CP/MAS) Nuclear Magnetic Resonance Spectroscopy(NMR) techniques were used to determine the type and the degree of surface modification. We found MPS reacts preferentially with Si-OH groups of the silica nanoparticles as monomeric form at solvent pH = 4.5. But increasing hydrolysis time of MPS from 30 mins to 90 mins, and molar ratio of MPS to Si-OH groups on silica nanoparticle surfaces, we found that MPS reacts preferentially with Si-OH groups of the silica nanoparticles as oligomeric form.

본 연구는 비전도성 폴리머 표면을 개질하여 감광성 금속을 유전체 표면에 흡착시키고, 감광성 금속의 광화학 반응을 이용하여 귀금속 촉매를 비전도성 폴리머 표면에 선택적으로 흡착시켜 무전해 Cu 도금을 수행하여 금속패턴을 형성하였다. 기능성 유연 필름은 일반적으로 투명한 플라스틱 고분자 기판을 기반으로 전기 전자, 에너지, 자동차, 포장, 의료 등 다양한 분야에서 폭넓게 활용 되고 있으며, 본 연구에서는 습식 도금 공정을 이용하여 폴리이미드 필름상에 $10{\mu}m$ 이하의 미세패턴을 형성하기 위한 공정을 개발하고자 하였다. 비전도성 폴리머 표면에 무전해 도금을 위해서 우선 폴리머 필름의 표면을 개질하는 공정이 필요하다. 이에 KOH 또는 NaOH 알카리 용액을 이용하여 표면을 개질하였으며 개질된 표면에 감광성 금속이온의 흡착시키기 위한 감광성 금속이온은 주석을 사용하였으며, 주석 용액의 안정성 및 퍼짐성 향상을 위해 감광성 금속 용액의 제조 및 특성을 관찰하였으며, 감광성 금속화합물이 흡착된 비전도성 유전체 표면을 포토마스크를 이용하여 특정 부위, 즉 표면에 금속패턴 층을 형성하고자 하는 곳은 포토마스크를 이용하여 광원을 차단하고 그 외 부분은 주 파장이 365nm와 405nm 광원을 조사하여 선택적으로 감광성 금속화합물의 산화반응을 유도하는 광조사 공정을 수행하였다. 광원이 조사되지 않은 부분에 귀금속 등의 촉매 입자를 치환 흡착시켜 금속 패턴이 형성될 수 있는 표면을 형성하였다. 위의 활성화 공정이후에 활성화 처리된 표면을 세척하는 수세 공정을 거친 후 무전해 도금공정에 바로 적용할 경우 미세한 귀금속 입자가 패턴이 아닌 부분 즉 자외선(UV) 조사된 부분에도 남아있어 도금시 번짐 현상이 발생한다. 이에 본 연구에서는 활성화 처리 후 약 알칼리 용액에 카르복실산을 혼합하여 잔존하는 귀금속 입자를 제거한 후 무전해 Cu 도금액을 이용하여 $10{\mu}m$ 이하의 Cu 금속 패턴을 형성하였다.

Polyamide membrane degradation by chlorine has been studied to improve membrane durability. In this study, it was found that the salt rejection was reduced rapidly and flux of the membrane was increased slowly far membrane treated under chlorine condition. In order to improve resistance to chlorine of the polyamide reverse osmosis membrane, fluorine-containing silane coupling agent (FSCA) was introduced to surface modification. Surface properties and chlorine resistance of silane modified membrane were compared with virgin membrane. It was found that the surface of silane modified membrane has dense structure according to FSCA concentration increasing. The results of surface analysis suggest that FSCA retrieved a severe change in the hydrophobicity and surface roughness. In addition, it appears that FSCA can enhance chlorine resistance due to the interaction of such substance with free radical chlorine.

It has been widely used ultra high molecular weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) for the biomaterials due to its excellent mechanical properties and biocompatibility. In the case of blend of UHMPE with another polymeric biomaterials, however, UHMWPE might have low blend compatibility due to surface inertness. In this study, in order to improve the mechanical properties of poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) bone cement by means of the impregnation of UHMWPE powder, we developed the novel surface modification method by the mixture of methyl methacrylate (MMA) and xylene. We investigated the variation of composition of MMA/xylene. It was confirmed by the analysis of Fourier transform infrared-attenuated total reflectance, scanning electron microscope, universal transverse mercator, and digital thermometer. The maximum mechanical strength of surface modified UHMWPE powder impregnated PMMA bone cement compound was observed the ratio of 1 : 1 (v/v％) MMA/xylene. Also its curing temperature decreased from 103 $^{\circ}C$ to 58 ∼ 73 $^{\circ}C$ The mechanism of surface modification of UHMWPE powder by the mixture of MMA/xylene has been proposed.

본 연구에서는 카본전극의 표면개질에 따른 리튬이온 전지의 전지특성 변화에 대해서 연구하였다. 즉, mesocarbon microbeads(MCMB) 카본에 에폭시 수지(resin)를 코팅시킴으로서 카본전극 표면에 개질시켰으며, 이에 따른 전극의 전기화학적 특성을 고찰하였다. 에폭시 수지에 의한 카본의 표면코팅은 30%의 H$_2$SO$_4$용액에서 2시간 동안 refluxing한 MCMB를 에폭시 수지를 용해시킨 THF(tetrahydrofuran) 용액에 넣어 혼합함으로써 MCMB 표면에 에폭시 수지가 코팅되도록 하였다. 이렇게 에폭시 수지가 코팅된 MCMB를 약 1000-130$0^{\circ}C$로 열처리하여 고분해능 투과전자현미경으로 관찰한 결과, 코팅층은 비정질 카본 구조를 갖게됨을 알 수 있었다. 또한, 에폭시 수지에 의하여 코팅된 MCMB는 코팅되지 않은 MCMB보다 더 높은 BET 비표면적을 나타내었다. Li/MCMB 전지 cell을 만들어 충방전시험을 수행한 결과, 에폭시 수지에 의하여 코팅된 MCMB로 만든 전극이 더 우수한 충방전 용량과 싸이클 특성을 나타내었다. 에폭시 수지 코팅으로 전극 표면을 개질시킴으로서 전지특성이 개선된 원인에 관하여 에폭시 코팅의 결정구조와 전극계면에서의 부동태 피막(passivation film) 형성과 연계하여 논의하였다.

Significant improvements in bond strength between new and existing concrete can be achieved through the modification of the new concrete by latex. This study focuses on the investigation of bond strength of latex modified concrete. Pull-out bond test and uniaxial direct tensile bond test are adopted for evaluating the adhesion characteristics of latex modified concrete to conventional concrete substrate. The main experimental variables are test methods, latex-cement ratio, surface preparations and moisture levels. The results are as follows; The increase of latex-cement ratio substantially improves the adhesion between latex modified concrete and substrate. The effects of surface preparation at substrate into the bonding of latex modified concrete are quite different according to the conditions of surfaces. Thus, an adequate surface preparations are essential for good bond strength. Because the moisture level of the substrate may be critical to achieving bond, optimum moisture condition for a conventional concrete has evaluated in this study. The saturated condition of surface is the most appropriate moisture level among the considered, followed by dry condition and wet condition.

In this study, we treated silica nanoparticles with bis[3-(trimethoxysilyl)propyl]amine (BTMA) silane coupling agent to modify their surfaces. We investigated the effects of BTMA hydrolysis time, BTMA concentration and BTMA treatment time on the degree of silanization reaction of silica nanoparticles. We used Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), elemental analysis (EA) and solid state cross-polarization magic angle spinning (CP/MAS) nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy (NMR) to obtain quantitative data. We found the decrease of isolated Si-OH peak intensity at 3747 $cm^{-1}$ and the increase of $-CH_2 $stretching and bending peaks with increasing hydrolysis time, concentration and treatment time of BTMA. EA analysis results also supported this trend. We found a strong effect of BTMA concentration on the degree of silanization of the silica particles, but weak effects of the hydrolysis time and the treatment time.
