In the present paper, it was investigated that adhesion layer on gate insulator could affect the electrical characteristics for the organic thin film transistors (OTFTs). The polyimide (PI) as organic adhesion layer was fabricated by using the vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) processing . It was found that electrical characteristics improved comparing OTFTs using adhesion layer to another. We researched adhesion layer as a function of thickness. For inverted-staggered top contact structure, field effect mobility, threshold voltage, and on-off current ratio of OTFTs using adhesion layer of PI 15 nm thickness on the gate insulator with a thickness of 0.2 ${\mu}m$ were about 0.5 $cm^2/Vs$, -0.8 V, and $10^6$, respectively.

We introduce an understanding of silver (Ag) inkjet overlap-printing characteristics from the viewpoints of cohesion between ink droplets and adhesion between an ink droplet and a surface. The printing characteristics were closely monitored by changing the surface energy to elucidate the effect of adhesion and cohesion on printing instability, such as droplet merging and line bulging. The surface energy of the substrate was changed through the hydrophilization of a hydrophobic fluorocarbon-coated surface. The surface energy and ink wettability of the prepared surfaces were characterized using sessile drop contact angle analysis, and printing instability was observed using an optical microscope after drop-on-demand inkjet printing with a 50% overlap in diameter of deposited singlet patterns. We found that the surface energy is not an appropriate indicator based on the experimental results of Ag ink printing on a hydrofluoric-treated silicon surface. The analytical approach using adhesion and cohesion was helpful in understanding the instability of the inkjet overlap-printing, as adhesion and cohesion represent the direct interfacial relationship between the Ag inks used and the substrate.

The electrical characteristics of organic thin-filmtransistor (OTFTs) can be improved by inserting adhesion layer on gate dielectrics. Adhesion layer was used as polymeric adhesion layer deposited on inorganic gate insulators such as silicon dioxide $(SiO_2)$ and it was formed by vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) instead of spin-coating process. The OTFTs obtained the on/off ratio $of{\sim}10^4$, threshold voltage of 1.8V, subthreshold slop of 2.9 V/decade and field effect mobility about $0.01\;cm^2/Vs$.

The electrical performances of organic thin-film transistors (OTFTs) have been improved for the last decade. In this paper, it was demonstrated that the electrical characteristics of the organic thin film transistors (OTFTs) were improved by using polymeric material as adhesion layer on gate insulator. We have investigated OTFTs with polyimide adhesion layer which was fabricated by vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) processing and formed by co-deposition of 2,2-bis (3,4-dicarboxyphenyl) hexafluoropropane dianhydride and 4,4'-oxydianiline. It was found that the OTFTs with adhesion layer showed better electrical characteristics than with bare layer because of good matching between semiconductor and gate insulator. Our devices of performance are field effect mobility of $0.4cm^2/Vs$, threshold voltage of -0.8 V and on-off current ratio of $10^6$. In addition, to improve the electrical characteristics of OTFT, we have reduced the thickness of adhesion layer up to a few nanometrs.

We have investigated OTFTs with polyimide adhesion layer which was fabricated by vapor deposition polymerization (VDP) processing and formed by co-deposition of 6FDA and ODA. It was found that the OTFTs with adhesion layer showed better electrical characteristics than with bare layer because of good matching between semiconductor and gate insulator. Our devices of performance are field effect mobility of $0.4cm^2$/Vs, threshold voltage of -0.8 V and on-of current ratio of $10^6$. In addition, to improve the electrical characteristics of OTFT, we have reduced the thickness of adhesion layer up to a few nanometrs.

We studied the adhesion characteristics of polymer films (PC, PET, EVA) treated by atmospheric pressure plasma. The process parameters were the frequency, gas flow, and treatment time; we studied the effects of these parameters on the adhesion characteristics of the polymer materials. We used de-ionized water and diiodomethane as the polar and nonpolar solvents, respectively, for measuring the contact angles, and subsequently calculated the surface free energy of each polymer film. The adhesion characteristics were studied by carrying out a $180^{\circ}$ peel-off test. The polymer films treated with plasma developed a hydrophilic surface, which led to increased surface free energy and improved adhesion properties. From the results for contact angle, surface free energy, and adhesion strength, we obtained the optimal plasma-treatment conditions.

It is one of the most effective methods for improving the performance of electric railway vehicles to make better the wheel-rail adhesion characteristics. To study adhesion characteristic is to develop the equivalent reduction machine to experiment on the adhesion system. The experiment system makes it possible to change the wheel-rail adhesion force with various adhesion parameters, and therewith to test the adhesion control system with the reduction machine in a laboratory. In this paper, for improving adhesion performance shows actually control methods.

In electric motor coaches, when the adhesion force coefficient between rail and driving wheel decreases suddenly, the electric motor coach has slip phenomena. The characteristics of adhesion force coefficient is strongly affected by the conditions between rails and driving wheels, such as moisture, dust, and oil on the rails and so on. This paper proposes the vector control structure for the improved re-adhesion control with paralleled control of induction motors under the sudden variation of the adhesion force coefficient.

The tribological characteristics of FDTS (1H, 1H, 2H, 2H-Perflurodecyltrichlorosilane) SAM (self-assembled monolayer) and OTS (octadecyltrichlorosilane) SAM treated by high temperature annealing have been investigated from the viewpoint of stiction, adhesion and friction in micro/nano scale. From the experimental results, it was found that OTS SAM gets destroyed at 20$0^{\circ}C$ and stiction, adhesion and friction coefficient increased, but FDTS SAM was stable up to 40$0^{\circ}C$. Also, it was found that the friction coefficient of normal OTS SAM below 20$0^{\circ}C$ is lower than that of FDTS SAM in micro/nano scale, but stiction and adhesion is vice versa. This work shows the importance of surface group of self-assembled monolayer in dictating the tribological characteristics and thermal stability.
