Copper is cost-effective and abundantly available as a biocidal coating agent for a wide range of material surfaces. Natural oxidation does not compromise the efficacy of copper, allowing it to maintain antimicrobial activity under prolonged exposure conditions. Furthermore, copper compounds exhibit a broad spectrum of antimicrobial activity against pathogenic yeast, both enveloped and non-enveloped types of viruses, as well as gram-negative and gram-positive bacteria. Contact killing of copper-coated surfaces causes the denaturation of proteins and damage to the cell membrane, leading to the release of essential components such as nucleotides and cytoplasm. Additionally, redox-active copper generates reactive oxygen species (ROS), which cause permanent cell damage through enzyme deactivation and DNA destruction. Owing to its robust stability, copper has been utilized in diverse forms, such as nanoparticles, ions, composites, and alloys, resulting in the creation of various coating methods. This mini-review describes representative coating processes involving copper ions and copper oxides on various material surfaces, highlighting the antibacterial and antiviral properties associated with different oxidation states of copper.

Waterborne epoxy resins have been developed in order to meet environmental regulations for reduction of the emission of organic solvents from coating industry As each generation has filled a performance gap in the previous technology, new waterborne epoxy resin has developed. Initially, waterborne epoxy resins were used primarily on masonry, but the subsequent generations have found utility for the protection of metallic substrates as well. Indeed, the third generation systems have been formulated to produce the high performance industrial maintenance primers which possess the desirable combination of good corrosion resistance and low volatile organic compound levels. This paper outlines the important guidelines for formulating waterborne epoxy primers from waterborne epoxy resin that has recently developed in our company. The importance of using the appropriate resin-curing agent system at the optimized epoxy to amine ratio is stressed.

Purpose: We investigated the changes of plastic lens after etching of coating films by comparing uncoated lens. Methods: CR-39, middle index and high index lenses of 0 (zero) diopter were etched at $80^{\circ}C$ and room temperature using a coating remover, and then changes of refractive power, transmittance and surface morphology were investigated. Results: There were no differences in refractive power and transmittance between uncoated and etched lenses. The etching rate was similar in both CR-39 and middle index lens, but in the case of high index lens, it was slower and less steady than the others. From the SEM observation of lens surface, etching damage was found out on the surface of etched lens. It was shown the least damage in middle index lens but the most damage in high index lens. Conclusions: If the etching of coating films is demanded on condition that the surface of ophthalmic lenses are not damaged, a using of most adequate coating remover based on lens material should be considered, and a caution for proper etching conditions is required.

신도시 및 대규모 도시 개발이 진행됨에 따라 안정적이고 효율적인 전력 공급을 위해 다수의 지상 배전함이 설치되고 있으며, 이에 따라 불법 광고물 및 스티커의 부착으로 인한 문제가 발생하고 있다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 여러 기관 및 산업체에서는 부착 방지용 코팅 도료 및 시트에 대하여 다양한 연구개발을 진행하고 있으며, 현장에 적용 된 다수의 제품이 존재한다. 하지만 현재 대부분의 제품들은 약 1년 정도의 시간이 지나면 부착 방지 기능을 상실하며, 도료와 기판 또는 시트와 기판 사이의 박리가 일어나 도시의 미관을 더욱 해치는 결과를 초래하고 있다. 이러한 원인으로는 부착력(Peel resistance, N/cm)을 측정하는 기존의 제시된 방법(KS T 1028, Peel test)으로는 정확한 측정이 어렵기 때문에 제품 선별에 어려움이 있다. 일반 기판의 경우 규격에서 요구하는 각도($90^{\circ}$, $180^{\circ}$)가 잘 유지되어 정밀한 부착력 측정이 가능하지만, 저점착 기능성 코팅소재(Anti-adhesion coating)의 경우 부착 자체가 어렵기 때문에 요구 각도를 유지하기 어려워 정밀한 측정을 할 수 없다. 이러한 문제점들을 해결하고자 압입자(Probe)를 이용한 새로운 평가 장치와 방법(Tack test)을 개발 및 제시하였다. 평가 지표로는 최대 점착력(Adhesive force, N), 최대 점착력일 때 점착제가 늘어난 총 길이(Extension of adhesive, mm), 탈착 에너지(Energy, J)가 있으며, 인가하는 힘(N)이 커질수록, 탈착 속도(Velocity)가 빨라질수록 평가 지표 모두 값이 상승하는 경향성을 보인다. 각 시험방법(Peel test, Tack test)에 대한 테이프류 점착제와 기판과의 결합이 끊어지는(Debonding, 탈착) 메커니즘(Mechanism)은 점착제 기공(Cavity)의 형성, 결합이 끊어지는 힘(Debonding force, N), 힘의 평형(Force balance)로 설명 가능하며, 상호간의 관계성을 도출한다. 이와 같은 평가 지표를 활용하여 저점착 기능성 코팅소재에 대해 정밀한 평가를 하는 것으로, 향후 개발될 다양한 제품에 대한 성능 분별력을 높이고, 현장에 적용 될 제품들의 성능을 끌어 올려 기존에 발생한 다양한 문제점들을 해결 할 수 있다.

In order to produce hydrophilic coating solution, which has superior antifogging and antifouling effect on the glass surface of solar cell module as well as improving photovoltaic efficiency, nanosilica was dispersed in an aqueous solution of Tween 20 and fluorosurfactant composed of decafluorobutane and polyethylene glycol. The antifogging effect at high temperature was excellent for all the coating solutions containing nanosilica, but the antifouling effect was observed when the content of nanosilica was over 6 wt%. As the content of fluorosurfactant increased, the initial water contact angle slightly increased and the antifogging effect remained well until 500 wiping with wet $Wipeol^{(R)}$. The antifouling effect was also excellent regardless of the content of fluorosurfactant, thus 0.1 wt% of the fluorosurfactant was enough for a coating solution production. From the AFM results, when 0.1 wt% to 0.3 wt% of the fluoro surfactant was added, the fractal structure of the coated glass surface was clearly existed and contributed to the better antifouling effect. The transmittance of coated glass surface was highest in TL-1 coating solution containing 0.1 wt% of fluorosurfactant, and the addition of fluorosurfactant in a larger amount than 0.1 wt% did not improve the transmittance. This result is in good agreement with the previous AFM result which shows a high surface roughness as well as a fractal structure formation for the TL-1 coating solution.

A study on the elution characteristics of biostimulating agents (sulfate and nitrate) from biostimulants which are used for in-situ bioremediation for the coastal sediment contaminated with organic matter was performed. The biostimulating agents were mixed with the coastal sediment, and then massed the mixture into ball. Two kinds of ball type biostimulant were prepared by coating the ball surface with two different polymers, cellulose acetate and polysulfone. A granular type biostimulant (GTB) was also prepared by impregnating a granular activated carbon in the biostimulating agent solution. The image of scanning electron microscopy for the biostimulant coated with cellulose acetate (CAB) showed that the inner side of the coating layer consisted of irregular and bigger size of pores, and the surface layer had tight structure like beehive. For the biostimulant coated with polyfulfone (PSB), the whole coating layer had a fine structure without pore. The elution rate of the biostimulating agents for the CAB was higher than that for the PSB, and the elution rate for the GTB was considerably higher than that for the PSB in distilled water as well as in sea water. The elution rate of the biostimulating agents in turbulent water flow was about 3 times higher than that in standing water, and the elution rate of nitrate was higher than that of sulfate from the stimulating agents.

유럽의 폐차 처리 지침, RoHs 및 국내 친환경 소재 부품의 개발이 날로 가속화 되면서 종래 사용해 오던 인산염 피막 등 중금속이 함유된 코팅 재료는 점차 친환경 코팅 용액으로 전환이 되었다. 최근 자동차 산업 등에서 종래 중금속인 $Cr^{+6}$을 함유하지 않는 다양한 코팅 용액이 상용화 되고 있다. 그 중 가장 효율적으로 적용되고 있는 용액이 아연 flake를 첨가하여 희생 양극효과를 가능하게 하여 내식용 코팅 용액으로 상용화 하고 있다. 이 용액에는 내식성을 확보하기 위하여 희생양극이 가능한 소재 인 아연 분말을 첨가하며, 이 분말의 분산성이 소재와 코팅 층의 밀착성, 내식성에 결정적인 영향을 미친다. 특히 산업 현장에서는 아연 분말의 효율적인 분산을 위하여 24시간 이상 교반해야하기 때문에 생산성을 감소시키는 결정적인 요인으로 작용을 한다. 아연 분말의 분산은 용액 내에 첨가하는 각종 첨가제의 종류와 첨가량에 따라 현저하게 분산성이 다르기 때문에 첨가 원소에 대한 연구가 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 서로 다른 이종 합금을 첨가하여 각종 첨가제의 종류 및 첨가량이 분산에 미치는 영향을 조사하였고, 첨가량이 코팅 층의 밀착성 및 내식성에 미치는 영향에 대하여 연구하였다. 분산제 첨가량이 낮을 경우 용액은 두껍게 코팅이 되며 분산 거리가 짧아졌다. 이 경우 코팅 층의 박리가 쉽게 발생하며, 코팅 층이 불균일하였다. 1.7% 첨가량에서 최적분산효과를 얻을 수 있었으며, 1,000시간 이상의 내식성을 확보할 수 있었다. 분산성과 동시에 유동성 확보가 중요하며, 유동성 확보를 위하여 점증제의 첨가량에 대한 변화를 주었다. 최적의 첨가량은 1.5% 이상으로 이 경우 부식 발생시간을 억제할 수 있었다.
