Simplified model of slide-fed curtain coating flow has been developed and tested in this study. It rests on the sheet profile equations for curtain thickness in curtain flow and its trajectory derived by the integral momentum balance approach of Higgins and Scriven (1979) and Kistler (1983). It also draws on the film profile equation of film thickness variation in flow down a slide. The equations have been solved in finite difference approximation by Newton iteration with continuation. The results show that how inertia (Rey­nolds number), surface tension (capillary number), inclination angle of the slide, and air pressure difference across the curtain affect sheet trajectory and thickness profile. It has been revealed that approximate models can be useful to easily analyze coating flow dynamics without complex computations, giving qualitative agreement with full theory and with experiment.

Several vermiculite deposits occur as the alteration product from phlogopite in ultramafic rock, in the Hongseong and Cheongyang area, South Korea. Some quarries show well-defined weathering profile. Samples collected from those quarries were examined by XRD and chemistry to define a vertical variations in mineralogy and chemistry of the weathering profile developed on ultramafic rocks. The analysis by X-ray diffractometry showed that mineral compositions changed continuously as depth of profile increasing, the vermiculite-the phlogopite/vermiculite interstratified-the phlogopite. Chemical analysis of bulk samples in altered zone revealed that regardless of composition and kinds of mineral in the rock, there are significant increase of MgO, CaO and $H_2O$, and decrease of K as depth of profile decrease reflecting the characteristics in vermiculitization. Also, there was a tendency that weathering indicies of each sample horizon change gradually with increasing depth. This tendency can be explained as variations of degree of vermiculitization. The regular changes of mineralogical and chemical composition in vertical profile suggest that weathering is the most important process in vermiculitization in this area.

Chemical mechanical planarization (CMP) is an essential process for ensuring high integration when manufacturing semiconductor devices. CMP mainly requires the use of polyurethane-based polishing pads as an ultraprecise process to achieve mechanical material removal and the required chemical reactions. A diamond disk performs pad conditioning to remove processing residues on the pad surface and maintain sufficient surface roughness during CMP. However, the diamond grits attached to the disk cause uneven wear of the pad, leading to the poor uniformity of material removal during CMP. This study investigates the pad wear rate profile according to the swing motion of the conditioner during swing-arm-type CMP conditioning using deep learning. During conditioning, the motion of the swing arm is independently controlled in eight zones of the same pad radius. The experiment includes six swingmotion conditions to obtain actual data on the pad wear rate profile, and deep learning learns the pad wear rate profile obtained in the experiment. The absolute average error rate between the experimental values and learning results is 0.01%. This finding confirms that the experimental results can be well represented by learning. Pad wear rate profile prediction using the learning results reveals good agreement between the predicted and experimental values.

Fabrication of a graded index profile was possible via photochemical reaction of cinnamoyl groups with 350 nm wavelength UV light to form crosslinked structures. Such structural change may induce the change in the refractive index. In order to generate graded index profile in the PMMA polymer optical fiber (POF) with cinnamoyl groups by photochemistry, a methyl methacrylate monomer containing a cinnamoyl functional group in the side chain were prepared. This monomer was then copolymerized with methyl methacrylate with various compositions not only to utilize advantages of poly(methyl methacrylate) but also to overcome the drawbacks of the cinnamate homopolymer. Changes of refractive indices were investigated with various contents of cinnamoyl group and varying irradiation time. Large change in the refractive index (${\Delta}{\approx}0.01$) and its proper profile shape ($g{\approx}2.2$) can be obtained by changing irradiation time.

An analysis of unsteady heat and mass transfer in the Modified Chemical Vapor Deposition has been carried out including the effects of chemical reaction and variable properties. It was found that commonly used quasi-steady state assumption could be used to predict overall efficiency of deposition, however, the assumption would not provide detailed deposition profile. The present unsteady calculations of wall temperature profile and deposition profile have been compared with the existing experimental data and were in good agreement. The effects of variable torch speed were studied. Linearly varying torch speed case until time=120s resulted in much shorter tapered entry than the constant torch speed case.

Retardation liquid crystal films with a profiled titled optic axis (splay films) of both nematic and discotic types are used as compensation films for twisted nematic displays (TN-LCD). A new method is developed to characterize retardation vs. inclination (retardation profile) of splay films by three parameters: "full retardation" $d^{\ast}{\triangle}n$, "inplane retardation" $R_0$ and "retardation difference" $R_d$ . Splay films with the same retardation profile but with different tilt profile (retardation invariants) are discovered. Splay films with different structure parameters but belong to the same retardation invariant have the same compensation opportunities for TN-LCD.

불포화 폴리에스터(unsaturated polyester, UP)와 저수축제(low profile agent, LPA), 폴리스틸렌(polystyrene, PS)과의 compatibility가 불포화 폴리에스터와 저수축제의 비율, 혼합시간, 혼합온도 그리고 추가로 투입되는 불포화 폴리에스터 수지량과 같은 다양한 조건하에서 확인되었다. 1단계로 1700 rpm의 교반속도에서 제조된 수지 혼합액의 경우, 불포화 폴리에스터 수지(unsaturated polyester resin, UPR) 투입량 25 g, 약 $30^{\circ}C$의 반응온도에서 상대적으로 작은 입자 크기 및 상분리율을 나타내었다. 2단계 수지 혼합액의 경우, 2차로 투입된 45 g의 불포화 폴리에스터 수지 혼합액에서 향상된 compatibility를 보였다. 이러한 결과는 혼합조건이 불포화 폴리에스터 수지와 저수축제 혼합액의 compatibility에 중요한 역할을 한다는 것을 의미한다. 또한, 상기조건을 통해 제조된 sheet molding compound (SMC)를 사용해서 만든 샘플은 흡수율, 수축율 및 광택도에서 향상된 결과를 나타내었다.

Dry etching of copper thin films is performed using high density plasma of ethylenediamine (EDA)/hexafluoroisopropanol (HFIP)/Ar gas mixture. The etch rates, etch selectivities and etch profiles of the copper thin films are improved by adding HFIP to EDA/Ar gas. As the EDA/HFIP concentration in EDA/HFIP/Ar increases, the etch rate of copper thin films decreases, whereas the etch profile is improved. In the EDA/HFIP/Ar gas mixture, the optimal ratio of EDA to HFIP is investigated. In addition, the etch parameters including ICP source power, dc-bias voltage, process pressure are varied to examine the etch characteristics. Optical emission spectroscopy results show that among all species, [CH], [CN] and [H] are the main species in the EDA/HFIP/Ar plasma. The X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy results indicate the formation of CuCN compound and C-N-H-containing polymers during the etching process, leading to a good etch profile. Finally, anisotropic etch profiles of the copper thin films patterned with 150 nm scale are obtained in EDA/HFIP/Ar gas mixture.

A miniaturized lab-scale Cu plating cell for the metallization of electronic devices was fabricated and its deposit uniformity and profile were investigated. The plating cell was composed of a polypropylene bath, an electrolyte ejection nozzle which is connected to a circulation pump. In deposit uniformity evaluation, thicker deposit was found on the bottom and sides of substrate, indicating the spatial variation of deposit thickness was governed by the tertiary current distribution which is related to $Cu^{2+}$ transport. The surface morphology of Cu deposit inside photo-resist pattern was controlled by organic additives in the electrolyte as it led to the flatter top surface compared to convex surface which was observed in the deposit grown without organic additives.

In this study, we investigated the chemical profile and effects of RW0117 (Artemisia argyi 65 .5 % ethanol extract) on gastric lesions in rats. We optimized and validated a method to obtain the chemical profile of RW0117. We then investigated the antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects in vitro, and the protective effects on gastric lesions in vivo. The IC50 of 2,2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl free radical scavenging considering the antioxidant effects of RW0117 was 166.55 ㎍/mL, and the IC50 of nitric oxide scavenging considering the anti-inflammatory effects was 41.16 ㎍/mL. Oral administration of RW0117 at lower concentrations (25, 50, 100 mg/kg) had similar or greater effects than the daily intake conversion concentration (115mg/kg) of a health functional food (Avexol®) in the acetic acid-induced ulcer and the ethanol-induced gastric injury rat models. In addition, oral administration of RW0117 increased the expression of prostaglandin E2, which enhances the protective effect in the gastric mucosa in the ethanol-induced gastric injury rat model. These results suggest that RW0117 may have potential therapeutic uses in the protection of the gastric mucosa.
