현재 많은 연구들이 작은 크기에 여러 공정을 집적시킬 수 있는 장점을 가진 마이크로 장치의 개발과 활용에 집중되고 었다. 마이크로 장치에서 가장 중요한 것은 미세 유동의 효율적인 제어이다. 본 연구에서는 마이크로 장치에 직접 적용 가능한 표면 개질 된 마이크로 채널의 유동에 대하여 고려하였다. 표면 개질(surface treatment)은 물리적, 화학적인 작용을 통해서 채널 내부 표면의 습윤성을 변화시켜 유동을 제어하는 방법이다. 친수성(glass)을 가지는 마이크로 채널 내부의 일부를 소수성(teflon)으로 개질 후, 고속카메라를 이용하여 채널 내부를 흐르는 유체의 유동 경계면 변화를 분석하였다. 또한 유동 해석을 위한 상용 코드(CFD-ACE)를 이용하여 유동에 대한 수치 해석을 진행하여 가시화된 실험 결과와 비교 분석하였다. 실험 결과와 수치 해석 결과를 통해, 친수성과 소수성 표면 배열에 따른 일시적인 유동 변화를 관찰하였다. 본 연구 결과를 통해 마이크로 채널 유동의 최적화 상태를 찾을 수 있으며, 보다 용이한 미세 유동 제어가 가능하다.

Purpose: Rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses, based on fluorosilicone acrylate, were treated with plasma in air. Methods: The chemical compositions were analyzed by using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the surface morphology and roughness of RGP contact lenses were observed by using atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the wettability changes were estimated by wetting angle measurement. Results: As the contact lenses were treated by the plasma, the F contents decreased significantly, and the O and Si contents increased on the surface. The number of oxygen-containing hydrophilic radicals (C-O and Si-O) increased greatly, the hydrophobic surface decreased, and the wetting angle increased. But the C-O bonds created with exchange of the fluorine did not increase a wettability. The surface compositions were not remarkably changed for the 6 months after plasma treatment, but the wetting angle increased again. Conclusions: It was considered that the improved wettability of the RGP contact lenses of high fluorine content after plasma treatment was affected by the activation of surface, the increase of Si-O, and the decrease of hydrophobic surface.

전기습윤이란 고체 표면에 형성된 액적에 전기장을 인가하게 되면 액적과 표면의 계면에너지 감소로 인해 접촉각이 변화되는 현상을 말한다. 이 현상은 전자종이 구현에 응용이 모색되고 있으며, 다초점 렌즈, 마이크로 프리즘, 반사형 디스플레이 등에도 응용될 수 있다. 전기습윤현상의 응용 가능성이 현실화됨에 따라 최근 여러 표면에서의 전기습윤 현상이 연구되고 있다. 예를 들면, 나노 구조로 형성된 실리콘 기판에서 molten salt (1-ethyl-3-methyl-1-H-imidazolium tetrafluoroborate)에 22 V를 인가하면 약 $180^{\circ}$에서 $110^{\circ}$로 접촉각변화를, cyclopentanol에 50 V를 인가하면 표면에 완전히 퍼지는 현상이 보고된 바 있고, 배열된 Carbon Nanotube 박막에서는 탈이온수와 0.03 M NaCl 용액에 대해서 0~50 V를 가해줌에 따라 각각 $155^{\circ}$에서 $90^{\circ}$, $130^{\circ}$에서 $50^{\circ}$로의 접촉갑 변화가 있음이 관찰되었다. 본 연구에서는 화학적으로 안정하고 그 활용도가 매우 광범위한 실리카 코팅층을 전기분무증착법(electrospray deposition)을 이용해 형성하고, 코팅층의 표면 거칠기와 구조, 전기절연층의 두께 등에 따른 전기습윤 현상 거동을 조사하였다.

Purpose: The surfaces and compositions of rigid gas permeable (RGP) contact lenses were analyzed with the consistent methods, and the basic informations for the composition design of lens materials were suggested. Methods: The bulk structures were analyzed by using Fourier infrared spectroscopy (FTIR), the compositions of surface components were observed by using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), the surface morphology and roughness were observed using atomic force microscopy (AFM), and the wettabilities were estimated by the surface wetting angles. The relations and trends of those results were analyzed. Results: The high oxygen permeability RGP lenses showed the trend that the fluorine decreases and the silicon increases. As the silicon and fluorine contents increased, the carbon and oxygen contents of RGP lens materials decreased at a constant ratio. The decreasing ratio of the carbon contents was three times larger than the decreasing ratio of oxygen contents. The composition of the surface treated lens was far from these tendency line. When the silicon contents increased, the rough surface was formed with the cohered particles. When the fluorine contents increased, the rough surface was formed with the deep flaws. The surface roughness increased and then wettabilities decreased as the silicon and fluorine contents increased. For the surface roughness changes, the increasing ratio of the silicon contents was two times larger than the increasing ratio of fluorine contents. The surface of RGP lens materials appeared the hydrophobic character of which the wettabilities decreased when the roughnesses increased. Conclusions: The surfaces and compositions of RGP contact lenses were measured by the same methods. Those results and relationships were compared and analysed. It is considered that these research results will be applied with the basic data for the composition design of lens materials.

We measured the effect of wettability of six MPSs for RGP(rigid gas permeable) lens. The used MPSs(multipurpose solutions) were OPTI-SOAK(ALCON), SOLO care hard(CIBA Vision), Total care(ALLERGAN), Simplicity(BOSTON), Wetting and Soaking Sol.(Bausch & Lomb) and Aquas-multi(Saehan). These MPSs keeps hydrophilic property of lens surface and increase the effect of cleaning or increase the effect of preservative effect. To compare with the effect of wettability we followed the way of contact angle measurement which was general way to measure wettability and compared lens which was conducted by each MPS made by different companies. As a control, 0.9% NaCl solution and artificial tears were used. The degree of the effect of wettability was decided by contact angle. It is hydrophilic property nearby $0^{\circ}$ of contact angle and it is closed by hydrophobic property as it increases. The results showed that every lens was nearby hydrophilic property within $25\;^{\circ}-36\;^{\circ}$. Also, it was differed by various factors. The surface tension showed various differences between 19.8 and 31.3 mN/m. In the viscosity, MPSs represented the highest viscosity between $4^{\circ}C$ and $20^{\circ}C$. It was much higher than compared with the viscosity of soft lens MPS. This experiment could be used to grasping the interaction between solutions used to MPS and the natural endowments of lens and to considering the relations of different factors effecting the wettability.

Purpose: To study the effect of hyaluronic acid(HA), which was widely used in artificial tears, multi-purpose solution(MPS), cosmetics, and drug acting on the musculo-skeletal system, in wettability and comfort of contact lens, we compared HA including lens(+HA) with HA excluding lens(-HA) by clinical evaluation. Methods: During four weeks, the selected 28 university student volunteers who did not have any eye disease wore +HA contact lens on their right eyes, and -HA contact lens on their left eyes, and then compared right eyes to left eyes as control. After prescribing by spherical equivalent calculation, over-refraction by auto-refractometer, and contact lens wearing for two weeks and four weeks, tear evaluation, the anterior of eyes examination, fitting convenience evaluation, surface wetting test, surveys were checked up. Results: Compared with the control group (-HA contact lens), +HA contact lens provided better wetting properties. The amount of released tear in -HA contact lens group became less in four weeks than before, but that in +HA contact lens group showed no significant difference from the initial one. In terms of the redness in eye, there was no significant difference between +HA and -HA contact lens groups. Fitting of +HA contact lens on eye was much easier than the control, -HA contact lens. From the results of survey, comfort, wettability, ease of cleaning, and dryness of eye in +HA contact lens group were generally better than those of -HA group, but redness and contact lens handling showed little difference. Conclusions: The addition of HA in soft contact lens(+HA) may enhance the wettability of lens during lens wearing, resulted in the better comfortable wearing of lens eventually.

The purpose of this study was analyzed to compare on the physical characters of two companies of color contact lenses. Artificial tear solution was used for measuring the rate of protein deposits and wettability. The surface roughness of lenses was measured by SEM(scanning electron microscope, Japan) and AFM(atomic force microscope, MultimodeTM, USA). As a results, The color contact lenses was not different from general soft contact lenses in a respect of other properties. However, the colored contact lenses showed a severe crack on the surface under SEM observation. There was no irregularity on the surface of the colored contact lenses in AFM photograph. The dyes were deposited in inside of lenses by microscope observation.

This study describes the evaluation results on the effect of soil particle surfaces coated with various hydrophobic conditions on spectral information according to water content. Wettability test and spectral information evaluation test were performed on the hydrophobic coated standard sand. When the standard sand was coated with 1%, 3%, and 5% hydrophobic, the contact angles of sand-water interface were 130°~143°, 129°~144°, and 131°~144°, respectively. This means that the contact angle increased as the degree of hydrophobic coating increased at the same drying time, but the range of the contact angle had the same wettability. This means that the contact angle increases as the hydrophobic coating degree increases at the same drying time, whereas the contact angle range has the same wettability. As a result of spectral information evaluation, the maximum spectral reflectance of the dried sand with hydrophobic condition decreased compared to that of the hydrophilic sand, as the degree of hydrophobic increased. However, the maximum spectral reflectance was increased by increasing the degree of hydrophobic under the same water content conditions.

Polypropylene 섬유는 세계적으로 큰 관심을 모으고 있는 섬유 소재로 환경친화성, 경량성, 신축성 등 다양한 기능성을 보유하여 미국, 일본 등의 선진국에서 의류 및 인테리어용으로 채택하여 널리 사용되고 있다. 그러나, polypropylene 섬유는 다른 섬유에 비해 융점이 매우 낮아 내열성이 약하여 가공 공정시 고온을 피해야 하고, 곁가지가 거의 없고 섬유 분자 구조가 매우 조밀하며 탄소와 수소로만 이루어진 분자구조에 의한 극소수성 성질 때문에 다른 종류의 물질들과 접착력이 없어 사용에 제약을 주어 다양한 용도로의 활용이 제한되고 있는 실정이다. 본 연구에서는 Polypropylene 섬유의 제품화에 필요한 요소 기술의 기초를 마련하고자 대기압 플라즈마를 적용하여 소수성 표면을 지니는 표면을 친수화 함으로써 polypropylene 섬유에 후가공이 가능하도록 한다. 따라서 Plasma 표면 처리에 의해 polypropylene 섬유에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하고, 표면을 친수화 함으로써 습윤성, 접착성 등 다양한 가공 기술을 적용하여 PP 섬유의 기능성을 향상시키고자 한다. 플라즈마 처리에 의한 폴리프로필렌 섬유의 모폴로지 변화는 주사전자현미경 (FE-SEM)으로 확인하였으며 표면개질 효과는 Wicking Test로 평가하였다.

A fluid transport technique is a key issue for the development of microfluidic systems. In this paper, a new concept for transporting a droplet without external power sources is proposed and verified numerically. The proposed device is a heterogeneous surface which has both hydrophilic and hydrophobic horizontal surfaces. The numerical simulation to demonstrate the new concept is conducted by an in-house solution code (PowerCFD) which employs an unstructured cell-centered method based on a conservative pressure-based finite-volume method with interface capturing method (CICSAM) in a volume of fluid (VOF) scheme for phase interface capturing. It is found that the proposed concept for droplet transport shows superior performance for droplet transport in microfluidic systems.
