Water soluble adhesive was polymerized from butyl acrylate (BA), methyl methacrylate (MMA) and one of various functional monomers such as acrylic acid (AA), 2-hydroxylethyl methacrylate (2-HEMA), glycidyl methacrylic acid (GMA) and acrylamide (AAm). The amount of the functional monomers was 1$\sim$5 wt%/monomer. In order to improve the adhesive power, a substrate was treated using atmospheric flat plasma method. The adhesive power was improved by the addition of the functional monomers with an order of AA> 2-HEMA> GMA> AAm. The holding power of the adhesives, which is related with the thermal properties of the adhesives, increased with the amount of the functional monomers. The effectiveness in improving the holding power has an order of AA > AAm > GMA > 2-HEMA. By treating a substrate with atmospheric flat plasma method, the adhesives containing each of AA, 2-HEMA, GMA and AAm showed the increases of the final adhesion strength by 9.1, 9.4, 9.4, and 1.8%, respectively. In conclusion, the mechanical properties such as adhesive power and holding power could be controlled by introducing.

Electrically conductive composites have been prepared by treating fabrics with oxidizing agent and exposing them to aniline, which deposited a substantial amount of conductive polymer within the interstices of the material. However the conductivity of the composite fabrics was limited by the irregular deposition of the conductive polymer layer. To improve the conductivity of polyaniline/nylon 6 composite fabrics, we modified the surface characteristics of nylon 6 fabrics by various plasma treatments and increased diffusion and adsorption of aniline by ultrasonic treatments. By the oxygen plasma treatment, attachment of functional groups such as C-O and C-OH increased on the surface of nylon 6 fiber, which promoted adhesion to polyaniline resulting in the higher add-on and electrical conductivity. Electrical conductivities of polyaniline/nylon 6 composite fabrics were highly increased by ultrasonic treatment, which assisted the diffusion of aniline into the inside of nylon fabrics by cavitation and vibration. Also, the effects of monomer concentration and the number of deposition cycles on the nylon 6 fabric conductivity Were investigated. As a result, the fabric conductivity increased with the monomer concentration and the number of polymerization deposition cycles.

Thin electric insulation layers were coated on aluminum plates and aluminum condenser cases by plasma polymerization of HMDSO+$O_2$. Electric resistances of the films were higher than 1.0 M$\Omega$ if they are thicker than 0.5 ${\mu}m$ independently of the type of films but their surface morphologies and adhesion strengths were dependent on the process conditions. Deposition rate and adhesion strength of the films were dependent on $O_2$/HMDSO flow ratio and discharge power. The best result was obtained at $O_2$/HMDSO flow ratio of 4 and discharge power of 60 W. Adhesion strength could also be highly improved if aluminum was pre-treated in boiling water for 30 min through the formation of Al-O-Si bonding between the film and the aluminum surface. The coated films showed excellent chemical and thermal resistances.

Fresh water is an important resource for humans, and pressure-driven membrane technology has been widely known as an energy-efficient method to obtain water resource. However, membrane fouling phenomenon, which is one of the major issue during operation, deteriorates membrane permeability. These fouling is usually affected by interaction between surface of membrane and various foulants, therefore, modification of membrane's surface is one of the methods to improve fouling-resistance. This review focuses on the method to modify surface of pressure-driven membranes such as microfiltration (MF), ultrafiltration (UF), nanofiltration (NF), and reverse osmosis (RO). Specifically, there are two different surface modification methods: (1) adsorption and coating as the physical modification methods, (2) cross-linker, free radical polymerization (FRP), atom transfer radical polymerization (ATRP), plasma/UV-induced polymerization as the chemical modification methods. This review introduces the physico - chemical surface modification methods reported in recent papers and suggests research directions for membrane separation which can increase membrane fouling resistance.

Kind of monomer(MMA, EA, BA, St)and the monomer ratio(80/20 to 20/80) where changed in the preparation of the core shell binder, and property was improved the plasma processing. Each material changed by plasma treatment time($1{\sim}10\;s$) to change to measure the tensile strength, contact angle and adhesion peel strength for the core shell binder optimal conditions for handling the output of the surface treatment. The type of polymerization and composition of the binder is a regardless initiator of APS, the reaction temperature of $85^{\circ}C$ to 0.3 wt% of the surfactant used to indicate when the conversion rate was the highest, core shell composite particle binder got two glass temperature curves. Core shell binder after the plasma processing contact angle change is the PEA/PSt 38 percent of cases within five seconds to indicate slight decrease was a decline rapidly if not handled $0^{\circ}$ to reach. Tensile strength PSt/PMMA varies $46.71{\sim}46.27\;kg_f$/2.5 cm and adhesion strength PEA/PMMA varies $7.89{\sim}14.44\;kg_f$/2.5 cm increases. Overall, adhesion strength of core shell composite particle is in the order of order PEA>PBA>PSt for shell monomer MMA.
