We investigated the application of tetrahedral amorphous carbon (ta-C) coatings to fabricate a glass lens manufactured using a glass molding process (GMP). In this work, ta-C coatings with different thickness (50, 100, 150 and 200 nm) were deposited on a tungsten carbide (WC-Co) mold using the X-bend filter of a filtered cathode vacuum arc. The effects of thickness on mechanical and tribological properties of the coating were studied. These ta-C coatings were characterized by atomic force microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, nano-indentation measurements, Raman spectrometry, Rockwell-C tests, scratch tests and ball on disc tribometer tests. The nano-indentation measurements showed that hardness increased with an increase in coating thickness. In addition, the G-peak position in the Raman spectra analysis was right shifted from 1520 to $1586cm^{-1}$, indicating that the $sp^3$ content increased with increasing thickness of ta-C coatings. The scratch test showed that, compared to other coatings, the 100-nm-thick ta-C coating displayed excellent adhesion strength without delamination. The friction test was carried out in a nitrogen environment using a ball-on-disk tribometer. The 100-nm-thick ta-C coating showed a low friction coefficient of 0.078. When this coating was applied to a GMP, the life time, i.e., shot counts, dramatically increased up to 2,500 counts, in comparison with Ir-Re coating.

Adhesion and friction tests were carried out in order to investigate the effect of temperature on the tribological characteristics of poly (methylmethacrylate) (PMMA) film using AFM. The pull-off and friction forces on the PMMA film were measured under a high vacuum condition (below $1{\times}10^{-4}$ Pa) as the temperature of the PMMA film was increased from 300 K to 420 K (heating) and decreased to 300K (cooling). Friction tests were also conducted in both high vacuum and air conditions at room temperature. When the temperature was 420 K, which is 25 K higher than the glass transition temperature $(T_g)$ of PMMA, the PMMA film surface became deformable. Subsequently, the pull-off force was proportional to the maximum applied load during the pull-off force measurement. In contrast, when the temperature was under 395 K, the pull-off force showed no correlation to the maximum applied load. The friction force began to increase when the temperature rose above 370 K, which is 25 K lower than the $T_g$ of PMMA, and rapidly increased at 420 K. Decrease of the PMMA film stiffness and plastic deformation of the PMMA film were observed at 420 K in force-displacement curves. After the heating to 420 K, the fiction coefficient was measured under the air condition at room temperature and was found to be lower than that measured before the heating. Additionally, the RMS roughness increased as a result of the heating.

In order to characterize the adhesive properties and failure mechanisms of diamond-like carbon (DLC) films of two different thicknesses (130 nm and $1.2{\mu}m$), deposited by plasma-enhanced chemical vapor deposition on a Si substrate, scratch testing with a micro-indenter ($12.5{\mu}m$ tip radius) was performed under a linearly increasing load. These scratch tests were conducted under the same test conditions for both films. The critical load of each film was estimated from the scratch test results, based on a sharp increase in the coefficient of friction and a clear distinction of failure modes. The critical load was the basis for evaluating the adhesion strength of the films, and the $1.2{\mu}m-thick$ DLC film had superior adhesion strength. For better understanding of the failure modes, the following analyses were conducted: friction behavior and scratch tracks analysis using scanning electron microscopy, energy-dispersive spectroscopy, and 3-D profilometry. The scratch test results showed that failure modes were related to the thickness of the films. The 130 nm-thick DLC film underwent cohesive failure modes (cracks and chipping) before reaching to a gross failure stage. On the other hand, the thicker DLC film ($1.2{\mu}m-thick$) did not exhibit micro cracks before a sudden gross failure of the film together with the evidence of cracking and chipping of the Si substrate.

전기저항 측정법을 이용하여 단일 탄소섬유의 인장 실험을 실시하였다. 탄소섬유의 전도성을 이용하여 인장하중에 따른 신율과 전기저항 변화도간의 관계를 연구하였다. 섬유 인장 과정동안에 일정 신율 거리상 응력과 전기저항 변화율간의 상관관계를 통계적으로 정리하였다. 결과에 대해 추세선을 그어 섬유의 변형에 따른 거동 모델을 구성하였다. 프레그먼테이션 시편을 이용하여 인장 실험에 따른 인장 응력이 재료 내부로 전달되면서, 시편 내부 탄소섬유에도 인장 응력이 가해져 기지보다 섬유가 먼저 파괴되었다. 이 경우 탄소섬유의 전기저항 변화도를 측정한 결과 값을 탄소섬유의 거동 모델에 대입하여 프레그먼테이션 시편 내부에 있었던 탄소섬유의 거동을 분석할 수 있었다. 탄소섬유의 인장 신율을 예측하고 프레그먼테이션 시편의 실제 신율을 비교하여 섬유와 기지 사이에 발생된 섬유 미끌림 정도를 확인하였다. 섬유 미끌림 정도의 수치가 클 경우, 기지와 섬유 간 계면 상태가 약한 접합의 상태였다. 이러한 결과를 확인하기 위해서 접착일 평가법을 이용하였으며, 두 실험법의 결과, 동일한 경향임을 확인하였다.

다양한 에폭시 수지를 함유한 언더필의 열적 특성을 시차주사열량측정법, 열중량측정법, 동적-기계적 분석법, 열적-기계적 분석법과 같은 열 분석법을 이용하여 분석하였다. 또한, 언더필과 FR-4기판 사이의 접합 강도를 측정하였다. Cycolaliphatic 에폭시 수지를 함유한 언더필의 유리 전이 온도가 cycolaliphatic 에폭시 수지를 함유하지 않은 언더필의 유리 전이 온도보다 낮음을 확인할 수 있다. 대기로부터 유입된 산소와 열화된 폴리머 사이의 화학적 반응으로 인하여 언더필의 열적 감소 반응이 두 번 발생하는 것을 확인할 수 있다. Cycolaliphatic 에폭시 수지를 함유한 언더필의 열팽창 계수가 cycolaliphatic 에폭시 수지를 함유하지 않은 언더필의 열팽창 계수보다 높음을 확인할 수 있다. 과도한 경화 온도는 에폭시 수지의 경계면을 약하게 하여 에폭시 수지의 기계적 특성의 변화를 초래하게 되고 언더필과 FR-4 기판 사이의 접합 특성을 저하시키게 된다.

This study investigates material properties of epoxy resins and reinforced materials for adhesion repairing-reinforced of RC construction. According to the test. elasticity modulus of mortar indicated 16-26(GPa) and that of concrete was 18-27(GPa). It became decreased as mixture proportion, W/C and fluidity of both mortar and concrete increased In addition the elasticity modulus of epoxy resins exhibited around 45.3-220(GPa), while that of steel plate and Carbon Bar indicated 338(GPa) and 34.1 (GPa), respectively. It is obvious that individual materials had big different value of elasticity modulus. Meanwhile, thermal expansion coefficients of mortar was 10-13 ${\mu}\varepsilon$ /$^{\circ}C$ and that of concrete was 9-11 $\mu \varepsilon$ /$^{\circ}C$ The increase of mixture Voportion and W/C resulted in lower value of thermal expansion coefficients and the increase of flow and slump exhibited slightly higher value. The epoxy resin indicated 41-54 ${\mu}\varepsilon$ /$^{\circ}C$ which is 4-5 times larger value than concrete and steel plate and Carbon Bar was 11.93 ${\mu}\varepsilon$ /$^{\circ}C$ and -1.68 ${\mu}\varepsilon$ /$^{\circ}C$ respectively. Hence, the adhesion strength of the epoxy resins should be considered before it is used in field condition, due to different thermal expansion coefficient of each material.

반도체 미세구리배선 적용을 위하여 구리배선의 습식 표면처리 및 열 사이클에 따른 구리 박막과 실리콘질화막 도포층 사이의 계면접착에너지를 4점굽힘시험을 통해 정량적으로 평가하였다. 구리배선을 화학적 기계적 연마한 후 습식 표면처리를 통하여 구리 박막과 실리콘질화막의 계면접착에너지는 $10.57J/m^2$에서 $14.87J/m^2$로 증가하였다. $-45{\sim}175^{\circ}C$범위에서 250사이클 후, 표면처리를 하지 않은 시편의 계면접착에너지는 $5.64J/m^2$으로, 표면처리를 한 시편은 $7.34J/m^2$으로 감소하였으며, 모든 시편의 박리계면은 구리 박막과 실리콘질화막 계면으로 확인되었다. X-선 광전자 분광법으로 계면 결합 상태를 분석한 결과, 화학적 기계적 연마 공정 후 구리배선의 표면 산화물이 습식표면처리에 의해 효과적으로 제거된 것을 확인하였다. 또한, 열 사이클 처리동안, 구리 박막과 실리콘질화막의 큰 열 팽창 계수 차이로 인한 열응력으로 인하여 구리 박막과 실리콘질화막 계면이 취약해지고, 계면을 통한 산소유입에 따른 구리 산화층이 증가하여 계면접착에너지가 저하된 것으로 판단된다.

본 연구에서는 RC구조물의 접착 보수 보강 재료의 박리와 연관한 변형 거동에 대하여 검토하였다. 응력-변형곡선에서 최대응력 이후 항복을 일으킬 수 있는 변형량은 바탕재인 시멘트 모르터의 경우 $2.0{\times}10^{-3}$, 콘크리트는 $1.3{\times}10^{-3}$ 전후이고, 접착제인 에폭시수지 $0.8{\times}10^{-3}$, 폴리머 시멘트 모르터 $2.5{\times}10^{-3}$이며, 보강재인 강판과 탄소봉은 2.5와 $9.1{\times}10^{-3}$정도인 것으로 밝혀졌다. 온도변화에 따른 선팽창계수는 바탕재인 시멘트 모르터 및 콘크리트의 경우 $10{\mu}{\varepsilon}/{^{\circ}C}$전후인데 비하여, 접착제인 에폭시 수지는 $41{\sim}54{\mu}{\varepsilon}/{^{\circ}C}$, 폴리머 시멘트 모르터는 $-0.5{\sim}0.7{\mu}{\varepsilon}/{^{\circ}C}$, 보강재인 강판은 바탕재료와 비슷하지만, 탄소섬유는 $-1.7{\mu}{\varepsilon}/{^{\circ}C}$로 제일 작은 값이었다. 특히 바탕재료인 콘크리트와 에폭시수지 접착제간에는 온도변화에 따른 선팽창계수 차이가 크게 발생하였는데, 에폭시 수지 종류에 따라 약간의 차이는 있지만, $20{\sim}35{^{\circ}C}$이상의 온도차가 발생하는 조건이면 에폭시수지 접착제는 콘크리트 접착면에서 자연적으로 박리 할 수도 있는 것으로 밝혀졌다.

Carbon/epoxy woven composites are prominent wear-resistant materials due to the strength, stiffness, and thermal conductivity of carbon fabric. In this study, the effect of oilabsorption on the wear behaviors of carbon/epoxy woven composites was investigated. Wear tests were performed on dry and fully oil-absorbed carbon/epoxy woven composites. The worn surfaces of the test specimens were examined via scanning electron microscopy to investigate the wear mechanisms of oil-absorbed carbon/epoxy woven composites. It was found that the oil absorption rate was 0.14% when the carbon/epoxy woven composites were fully saturated. In addition, the wear properties of the carbon/epoxy woven composites were found to be affected by oilabsorption. Specifically, the friction coefficients of dry and oil-absorbed carbon/epoxy woven composites were 0.25-0.30 and 0.55-0.6, respectively. The wear loss of the oilabsorbed carbon/epoxy woven composites was $3.52{\times}10^{-2}\;cm^3$, while that of the dry carbon/epoxy woven composites was $3.52{\times}10^{-2}\;cm^3$. SEM results revealed that the higher friction coefficient and wear loss of the oil-absorbed carbon/epoxy woven composites can be attributed to the existence of broken and randomly dispersed fibers due to the weak adhesion forces between the carbon fibers and the epoxy matrix.

Fretting corrosion tests are conducted with a constant displacement amplitude using silver-plated brass coupons to investigate the effect of contact pressure on fretting corrosion. Three behaviors are identified based on the change in electric resistance and friction coefficient during the fretting test period, and the identified behaviors are dependent on the magnitude of the applied load. The failure cycle ($N_f$) with an electric resistance of 0.1 D cannot be achieved due to the adhesion behavior of the metal and metal contact under the higher applied load of 0.45 N. This suggests that an average contact pressure higher than 159 MPa for the silver-coated connector is desirable to gain an almost infinite lifetime. The relationship between the electric contact resistance (R) and the average contact pressure (p) can be written as $p=106.2{\times}{\Omega}^{-1.5}$.
