Ultrathin polyelectrolyte (PE) multilayer films prepared by the versatile layer-by layer (LbL) assembly method have been utilized for the preparation of light-emitting diodes, electrochromic, membrane, and drug delivery system, as well as for selective area patterning and particle surface modification because the various materials with specific properties can be inserted into the film with nano-level thickness irrespective of the size or the shape of substrate. Since the introduction of the LbL technique in 1991 by Decher and Hong, various hydrophilic materials can be inserted within LbL films through complementary interactions (i.e., electrostatic, hydrogen-bonding or covalent interaction). In this study, it is demonstrated that LbL SA multilayer films based on nucleophilic substitution reaction can allow the preparation of the highly efficient magnetic and/or optical films and nonvolatile memory devices.

DLC coating on ceramics is very useful for manufacturing the materials with hardness and low friction. Adhesion of DLC thin film on ceramics, on the other hand, is usually very weak. Adhesion of DLC film depends on many parameters such as contamination and chemical bonding between thin film and substrate. In this study, adhesion of DLC film on ceramics was improved by the intermediate layer when the plasma immersion ion deposition (PIID) technique was applied. It is found that the chemical composition and the thickness of intermediate layer have significantly an effect on the adhesion of DLC thin film on $Al_2O_3$.

Using the modified Irwin model and the modified Dugdale model, the plastic zone size near the interface crack tip in a ductile layer bonding two dissimilar elastic substrates is predicted. Validity of the models is examined by finite element method. The effects of several factors such as the mode mixity, T-stress and material properties are explored. The plastic zone size significantly decreases with the Poisson's ratio of the ductile layer.

We present a method of surface functionalization of a single layer graphene for linking and detecting MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell. The methodology is done by utilizing 1-pyrenebutanoic acid and succinimidyl ester for immobiling CD44 antibodies. This work shows that the single layer graphene is an efficient fixing substance to capture the MDA-MB-231 human breast cancer cell, selectively. The immobilization method of the cancer cell on the graphene layer will be an effective cell counting system. Moreover usage of the linking with non-covalent bonding is expected to develope a sensor scheme of electrical cell-detecting diagnosis system.

An Ag/Ni bi-layer sheet was fabricated by the combination of powder metallurgy, diffusion bonding, cold rolling and texture annealing processes. After heat treating the cold rolled thin Ag/Ni bi-layer sheet at $900^{\circ}C$ for 4h, the excellent cube texture was developed on nickel surface. Qualitative chemical analysis using EPMA showed that inter diffusions of Ni and Ag in Ag/Ni bi-layer composite were negligible. It showed that Ag can be used as a chemical barrier for Ni and vice versa.

Different layers of zirconium nitride (ZrN) and hydroxyapatite (HA) coatings were prepared on cp Ti substrate for biomedical applications. The main idea is to improve the mechanical strength as well as the biocompatibility of the coating. ZrN is known for its high mechanical strength, corrosion resistance. HA is well known for its biocompatibility properties. Hence, in this study, both materials were coated on a cp Ti substrate with bottom layer with ZrN for good bonding with substrate and the top layer with HA for induce bioactivity. Middle layer was formed by a composite of HA and ZrN. Detail analyses of the layered coatings for its structural, morphological, topographical properties were carried out. Then the mechanical property of the layered coatings was analyzed by nanoindentation. Biomimetic growths of apatite on the functionally graded coatings were determined by simulated body fluid method. This study provides promising results to use this kind of coatings in biomedical field.

Molecular layer deposition (MLD) is sequential, self-limiting surface reaction to form conformal and ultrathin polymer film. This technique generally uses bifunctional precursors for stepwise sequential surface reaction and entirely organic polymer films. Also, in comparison with solution-based technique, because MLD is vapor-phase deposition based on ALD, it allows epitaxial growth of molecular layer on substrate and is especially good for surface reaction or coating of nanostructure such as nanopore, nanochannel, nanwire array and so on. In this study, polyurea film that consisted of phenylenediisocyanate and phenylenediamine was formed by MLD technique. In situ Fourier Transform Infrared (FTIR) measurement on high surface area SiO2 substrate was used to monitor the growth of polyurethane and polyurea film. Also, to investigate orientation of chemical bonding formed polymer film, plan-polarized grazing angle FTIR spectroscopy was used and it showed epitaxial growth and uniform orientation of chemical bones of polyurea films.

This paper deals with the relaxation of singular stresses developed in an epoxy adhesive at high temperature. The interface stresses are analyzed using BEM. The adhesive employed in this study is an epoxy which can be cured at room temperature. The adhesive is assumed to be linearly viscoelastic. First, the distribution of the interface stresses developed in the adhesive layer under the uniform tensile stress has been calculated. The singular stress has been observed near the interface corner. Such singular stresses near the interface corner may cause epoxy layer separated from adherent. Second, the interfacial thermal stress has been investigated. The uniform temperature rise can relieve the stress level developed in the adhesive layer under the external loading, which can be viewed as an advantage of thermal loading. It is also obvious that temperature rise reduces the bonding strength of the adhesive layer. Experimental evaluation is required to assess a trade-off between the advantageous and deleterious effects of temperature.

3-ply Mg/Al/STS clad-metal was fabricated by the roll bonding process. An interfacial reaction layer was formed at the Mg/Al interface at and above $300^{\circ}C$ whereas no interfacial reaction layer was observed up to $400^{\circ}C$. The effect of the interfacial reaction layer on the mechanical and fracture properties in clad metals after heat treatments were investigated The chemical compositions were analyzed at the Mg/Al interface by an Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). A tension test was performed to examine the interfacial cracking properties. The Mg layer fractured first, causing a sudden drop of the stress and Al/STS layer continued to deform until the final fracture. Periodic cracks and crack propagation was observed at the reaction layer between Mg and Al.

In this paper, 50MHz reflection ultrasonic microscope system with small aperture acoustic lens has been constructed in order to study the defects which lay deep in thick specimens, and acoustic images of multilayered media have been analyzed. Output characteristics of this system for multilayered media have been influenced by acoustic attenuation, aberration in specimen, type of lens and the properties of a defect, and it has been used for image processing of the multilayered I.C. and the bonding layer. In experimental results, it has been shown that small aperture ultrasonic microscope system was powerful tool for inspection of thick specimens such as electronic device, bonding layer, quality of ceramic materials.
