Several propellants were investigated experimentally for ignition characteristics in subatmospheric pressure. The threshold ignition pressure was 4 psia for HTPB/AP composite propellant. The partial replacement of AP in HTPB/AP propellant by $5{\sim}l5%$ of HMX, HNIW showed that the improvements in ignition delay was over 50% and the threshold pressure was below 0.4 psia. This appears to be due to the characteristics of HMX and HNIW exothermic dissociated at the temperature(${\sim}220^{\circ}C$) love. than that of AP. The ignition substance $B/KNO_3$ was coated thinly on the propellant surface for better ignition performance. As a result, ignition delay time of 15% was improved. NC is applied to $B/KNO_3$ ignition substance as a secondary binder and $NC-B/KNO_3$ suspension solution is coated to the propellant surface.

Hydroxylammonium nitrate (HAN)-based liquid propellants are attracting attention as environmentally friendly propellants because they are not carcinogens and the combustion gases have little toxicity. The catalyst used to decompose the HAN-based liquid propellant in a thruster must have both low temperature activity and high heat resistance. The objective of this study is to prepare an Ru/alumina/metal foam catalyst by supporting alumina slurry on the surface of NiCrAl metal foam using a washing coating method and then to support a ruthenium precursor thereon. The decomposition activity of a HAN aqueous solution of the Ru/alumina/metal foam catalyst was evaluated. The effect of the number of repetitive coatings of alumina slurry on the physical properties of the alumina/metal foam was analyzed. As the number of alumina wash coatings increased, mesopores with a diameter of about 7 nm were well-developed, thereby increasing the surface area and pore volume. It was optimal to repeat the wash coating alumina on the metal foam 12 times to maximize the surface area and pore volume of the alumina/metal foam. Mesopores were also well developed on the surface of the Ru/alumina/metal foam catalyst. It was found that the metal form itself without the active metal and alumina can promote the decomposition reaction of the HAN aqueous solution. In the case of the Ru/alumina/metal foam-550 catalyst, the decomposition onset temperature was significantly lowered compared with that of the thermal decomposition reaction, and ${\Delta}P$ could be greatly increased in the decomposition of the HAN aqueous solution. However, when the catalyst was calcined at $1,200^{\circ}C$, the catalytic activity was lowered inevitably because the surface area and pore volume of the catalyst were drastically reduced and Ru was sintered. Further research is needed to improve the heat resistance of Ru/alumina/metal foam catalysts.

Prototype of $800{\ell}$ vacuum web coater (Vic Mama) consisting of ion source with low energy less than 250 eV for high speed surface modification and 4 magnetron sputter cathodes was designed and constructed. Its performance was evaluated through fabricating the adhesiveless flexible copper clad laminate (FCCL). Pumping speed was monitored in both upper noncoating zone pumped down by 2 turbo pumps with 2000 l/sec pumping speed and lower surface modification and sputter zone vacuumed by turbo pumps with 450 1/sec and 1300 1/sec pumping speed respectively. Ion current density, plasma density, and uniformity of ion beam current were measured using Faraday cup and the distribution of magnetic field and erosion efficiency of sputter target were also investigated. With the irradiation of ion beams on polyimide (Kapton-E, $38{\mu}m$) at different fluences, the change of wetting angle of the deionized water to polyimide surface and those of surface chemical bonding were analyzed by wetting anglometer and x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy. After investigating the deposition rate of Ni-Cr tie layer and Cu layer was investigated with the variations of roll speed and input power to sputter cathode. FCCL fabricated by sputter and electrodeposition method and characterized in terms of the peel strength, thermal and chemical stability.

Hybrid nanomaterials consisting of multi-walled carbon nanotube(MWNT) and/or PEDOT of conductive polymer were prepared in this study. In the presence of catalyst and ligand, the MWNT-Br compound prepared by the successive surface treatment reaction was mixed with MMA to initiate the atom transfer radical polymerization process. PMMA was covalently linked to the surface of MWNT for the formation of MWNT/PMMA nanocomposites. The EDOT and oxidant were added in the aqueous emulsion of PS produced via a miniemulsion polymerization process and then it proceeded to carry out the oxidative chemical polymerization of EDOT for the preparation of PEDOT/PS nanoparticles with the core-shell structure. The aqueous dispersion of PEDOT:poly(styrene sulfonate) (PSS) was mixed with the silica particles treated with a silane compound and thus PEDOT:PSS-clad silica nanoparticles were prepared by the surface chemistry reaction. The hybrid nanomaterials were analyzed by using TEM, FE-SEM, TGA, EDX, UV, and FT-IR.

섬유제품은 대부분은 흡수성 또는 흡유성을 가지고 있어 물이나 기름이 등을 쉽게 흡수하는 성질이 있다. 이러한 성질 때문에 물이나 기름 등의 접촉에 의한 얼룩과 오염이 잘 되는 단점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해소하기 위하여 원단에 대한 발수, 발유, 방오가공 등이 연구되어 왔으며 섬유의 고유한 화학적, 기계적 물성을 유지하면서 표면과 이면이 다른 특성을 가지도록 유도하여 기능성을 부여하는 편면가공을 주목을 받게 되었다. 본 연구에서는 불소계로 발수처리 된 PET직물에 저온 Plasma와 Sputter을 이용하여 직물의 한쪽 면에는 친수성과 다른 면에는 발수성이 동시에 나타나는 편발수에 관한 실험을 했다. 불소계로 발수처리 된 시료와 저온 Plasma처리된 시료와 Sputter처리된 시료(처리면, 미처리면)를 접촉각 5회 측정하여 평균값을 나타냈다. 발수처리 된 시료의 평균 접촉각 값은 $149^{\circ}$이며, 저온 Plasma의 평균값은 $45^{\circ}$(처리면) $128^{\circ}$(미처리면), Sputter는 $74^{\circ}$(처리면) $144^{\circ}$(미처리면) 으로 가공처리 된 시료에는 양면의 접촉각이 확연한 차이가 나타난 걸로 미루어 보아 편면발수효과가 얻어졌다고 판단된다. SEM 측정을 통하여 관찰한 경우, 발수처리 된 시료에서는 불소계 발수제의 흔적이 보였다. 저온 Plasma, Sputter 처리된 시료에서는 처리시간이 높아짐에 따라서 시료표면에 코팅된 불소계 발수제 막들이 점점 파괴되는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 그리고 건식가공으로 인하여 처리된 표면에는 Etching작용이 일어나 표면적이 넓어져 친수화가 일어난 것으로 생각된다. 이처럼 저온 Plasma가공과 Sputter가공으로 편발수를 얻을 수 있다면 에너지 절약, 처리공정과 시간단축 등 여러 가지 장점이 기대된다.

Bacteria grow biofilm on various surface such as separation membrane, food packaging film and biomedical device. Growth of biofilm is associated with the formation of a complex structure of exopolysaccharides. Effect of antibacterial effect reduce drastically once the biofilm developed due to the difficulties in mass transport of antimicrobial agent. In order to enhance the antibacterial activity, surface of the membrane is modified, coated or immobilized with functional materials with biocidal properties. One of the idea is to introduce positive charge on the membrane surface by the presence of quaternary ammonium group which might displace divalent metal ion such as magnesium or calcium present in the bacteria cell wall. Efficacy of cell membrane disruption depends on the mobility of the agents available directly on the surface environment. In this review, various biocidal agents like quaternary ammonium group, helamine or zwitter ion containing membrane are discussed.

현재 ITO를 대체할 재료로 투명 전도성 탄소나노튜브(carbon nanotube, CNT) 필름에 대한 연구가 진행 되고 있다. 이러한 연구에서 특히 CNT 필름의 투과도에 따른 전기저항을 향상시키기 위한 연구가 활발히 진행되고 있다. 본 연구에서는 단일벽 CNT (single-walled CNT)를 여러 가지 계면활성제로 최적 분산시킨 수용액으로부터 제조한 CNT 필름의 투과도에 따른 면 저항 (sheet resistance) 변화를 관찰하였다. 우선 계면활성제로 분산시킨 CNT 수용액을 알루미나 재질의 필터에서 정량적으로 진공 필터링하여 CNT 필름을 제조하였다. 알루미나 필터를 sodium hydroxide (NaOH) 수용액으로 용해시켜 제거함으로써 얻은 CNT 필름을 유리기판 위에 부착시켰다. 필름의 전기저항을 낮추기 위해 유리기판 위에 부착된 CNT 필름을 질산 (HNO3) 용액으로 처리하였다. Scanning electron microscopy, UV-Vis spectroscopy를 이용하여 각각 필름의 형상과 광 투과도를 분석하였고, 4-point probe로 면 저항을 측정하였다. 계면활성제로 분산시킨 CNT 필름 대부분의 면 저항은 질산 처리에 의해 감소하였다. 이는 CNT 표면에 코팅되어 있던 계면활성제가 질산에 의해 제거되었기 때문인 것으로 예상된다. 여러 계면활성제 중 sodium dodecyl benzenesulfonate로 분산시킨 CNT 필름이 산 처리 후에 가장 낮은 면 저항을 보였다. 그리고 Polyvinyl pyrrolidone (PVP)과 cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB)를 사용하여 제조한 CNT 필름의 면 저항이 가장 뚜렷한 감소를 보였다.

Lowering surface reflectance of Si wafers by texturization is one of the most important processes for improving the efficiency of Si solar cells. This paper presents the results on the effect of texturing using acidic solution mixtures containing the catalytic agents to moderate etching rates on the surface morphology of mc-Si wafer as well as on the performance parameters of solar cell. It was found that the treatment of contaminated crystalline silicon wafer with $HNO_3-H_2O_2-H_2O$ solution before the texturing helps the removal of organic contaminants due to its oxidizing properties and thereby allows the formation of nucleation centers for texturing. This treatment combined with the use of a catalytic agent such as phosphoric acid improved the effects of the texturing effects. This reduced the reflectance of the surface, thereby increased the short circuit current and the conversion efficiency of the solar cell. Employing this technique, we were able to fabricate mc-Si solar cell of 16.4% conversion efficiency with anti-reflective (AR) coating of silicon nitride film using plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) and Si wafers can be texturized in a short time.

Inorganic composite particles have excellent physical and chemical characteristics and have been applied in various industries. Recently, many studies have examined the optical properties, such as light scattering, refraction, transmission characteristics, by coating organic-inorganic materials on a substrate, such as mica. Mica is widely applied as a pigment, plastics, painted products, and ceramics because of its high chemical stability, durability and non-toxicity. Magnesium oxide has a range of properties, such as high light transmittance, corrosion resistance and non-toxicity, and it is used as an optical material and polymer additives. To use the optical properties of mica and magnesium oxide, mica was coated with magnesium hydroxide by a dissolution and recrystallization process. In this study, the optimal conditions for the haze value of the particles were found by adjusting the amount of precursors and pH. Magnesium hydroxide layers were formed on the surfaces of mica and converted to MgO after calcination at $400^{\circ}C$ for 4 h. The results showed that the value of MgO-coated mica haze can be controlled easily by the amount of the magnesium hydroxide and pH. The optical properties of the inorganic composite powder were analyzed using a hazemeter and the highest haze value was 85.92 % at pH 9. The physicochemical properties of the synthesized composite was analyzed by SEM, XRD, EDS, and PSA.

This work deals with the effects of different oligomers, monomers, photoinitiators, and steel plates on the variation of gloss for UV coated steel plates at $20^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ (ASTM D523). The gloss value was more significantly varied with $20^{\circ}$ angle as compared with $60^{\circ}$. No substantial change in gloss was observed for the type of single oligomer; however, the gloss varied with the mixing ratios of oligomers, type and mixing ratio of monomers, type and concentration of photoinitiator, and type of steel plate. The maximum gloss value was observed when the mixing ratio of polyurethane acrylate (UA) to epoxy acrylate (EA) was 70 : 30, the mixing ratio of trimethylolpropantriacrylate (TMPTA) to tetrahydrofurfurylacrylate (THFA) was 5 : 5, the content of the mixed oligomer (UA : EA = 70 : 30) was 90 wt%, respectively. Darocur MBF of liquid type showed better gloss property than the solid type of Irgacure 184, and the gloss was decreased as the concentration of Darocur MBF increased from 1 to 4 wt%. Regarding the type of steel plate, GI steel plate showed better gloss property as compared with EG and primer-coated steel plates. The maximum gloss values of 95 GU and 120 GU, respectively, at $20^{\circ}$ and $60^{\circ}$ angles throughout the parametric study in the absence of leveling agents enhancing the gloss.
