The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of electrodeposition conditions on the microstructural characteristics of copper thin films. The microstructure of electroplated Cu films was found to be highly dependent on electrodeposition conditions such as system current and current density, as well as the bath solution itself. The current density significantly changed the preferred orientation of electroplated Cu films in a DC system, while the solution itself had very significant effects on microstructural characteristics in a pulse-reverse pulse current system. In the DC system, polarization at high current above 30 mA, changed the preferred orientation of Cu films from (220) to (111). However, Cu films showed (220) preferred orientation for all ranges of current density in the pulse-reverse pulse current system. The grain size decreased with increasing current density in the DC system while it remained relatively constant in the pulse-reverse pulse current system. The sheet resistance increased with increasing current density in the DC system due to the decreased grain size.

The effect of Cu coating on the sensing properties of nano $SnO_2:Cu$ based sensors for the $CH_4$, $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas was studied. This work was focussed on investigating the change of sensitivity of nano $SnO_2:Cu$ based sensors for $CH_4$, $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas by Cu coating. Nano sized $SnO_2$ powders were prepared by solution reduction method using stannous chloride($SnCl_2{\cdot}2H_2O$), hydrazine($N_2H_2$) and NaOH and subsequent heat treatment. XRD patterns showed that nano $SnO_2$ powders with rutile structure were grown with (110), (101), (211) dominant peak. The particle size of nano $SnO_2:Cu$ powders at 8 wt% Cu was about 50 nm. $SnO_2$ particles were found to contain many pores, according to SEM analysis. The sensitivity of nano $SnO_2:Cu$ based sensors was measured for 5 ppm $CH_4$ gas and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gas at room temperature by comparing the resistance in air with that in target gases. The sensitivity for both $CH_4$ and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gases was improved by Cu coating on the nano $SnO_2$ surface. The response time and recovery time of the $SnO_2:Cu$ gas sensors for the $CH_4$ and $CH_3CH_2CH_3$ gases were 18~20 seconds, and 13~15 seconds, respectively.

This study is performed to investigate the effect of the mordant and chitosan on the colorfastness to laundering and physical properties of the mordanted, chitosan treated and natural - dyed cotton, silk and acrylics substrates. Natural dyes are extracted from Gromwell by boiled water. Three different compounds of Al, Cu, Sn and Chitosan are used as mordanting agents. The result of this study is summarized as follows: 1. Color of the fabrics dyed with Gromwell changes redder, bluer and darker after chitosan treated and mordanting. 2. After washing, the color of natural dyes changes more light and gray, Chitosan and Cu mordanting gives better colorfastness in washing than any others. 3. All chitosan treated fabrics improve air permeability. 4. In the chitosan treated fabrics, a half life of the static electricity is shown good result.

고온 초전도체 $Y_{1-x}$Ho$_{x}$Ba$_2$O$_{7-y}$에서 대신 Ho를 치환시킨 시료를 제작하여 수송 임계전류밀도를 측정하였으며, 적외선 투과율과 Raman 스펙트럼 측정을 상온에서 실시하였다. 특히 Raman 측정은 수직으로 편광한 경우와 수평으로 편광한 경우를 비교하였다. 치환량의 변화에 따른 수송 임계전류밀도 값은 110-217 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$ 범위에 있었고 자기장이증가 됨에 따라 감소됨을 알수 있었다. 적외선 투과율과 Raman 스펙트럼 측정으로부터 얻은 Cu(1)-O(4) stretching mode는 초전도체의 결정 구조를 좌우하며 산소의 영향에 강한 영향을 받는다. 또한 이것은 치환양이 증가됨에 따라 감소하는 경향을 보였다. Raman 스펙트럼에서 수직 편광한 경우와 수평 편광한 경우 모두 asymmetric 한 형태를 이루었다. 특히 수평 편광한 경우는 BaCuO$_2$ phase 의 강도가 증가했다.다.했다.

The objective of the this study was to evaluate the effects of heavy metals on the sewage treatment process designed to remove organic material and nutrients using Water- hyacinth ( Eichhornia crassipes ). Batch experiments were carried out using domestic sewage spiked with different level of heavy metal mixtures ( Cd, Pb and Cu ). The specific growth rates of Water- hyacinth ranged from 0.0008 to 0.0015 1/day( operated at water temperatures of 22 ∼30$\circ $c ) and increased as the concentration of heavy metals decreased. The test result showed that the permissible maximum concentrations Cd, Pb and Cu for the growth of Water- hyacinth were 0.5, 1, and 6 mg/ℓ respectively. Under these maximum permissible heavy metal loads, removal rate of organic material, nitrogen and phosphorus were 85%,75% and 75% , respectively, during 40days of the test period.

에틸렌과 프로판가스로부터 Ni 및 Ni-Cu의 합금촉매를 사용하는 화학증착반응에 의해 제조한 나노탄소섬유에 충전재로 하고, 환경 친화적인 폴리비닐알코올을 매트릭스로 이용하여 복합재를 제조하여 전자파 차폐효능을 조사해 보았다. 전자파 차폐용 충전재의 중요한 물성치인 전기전도도는 나노탄소섬유의 반응조건에 따라 매우 민감하게 변했는데, 전체적으로 10000 psi 압력에서 4.2~29 S/cm 사이에 분포하였고 합금촉매보다도 순수한 Ni로 제조된 나노탄소섬유의 전기전도도 값이 높았다. 한편, 나노탄소섬유/폴리비닐알코올 복합재의 전기전도도는 Ni:Cu(7:3) 합금촉매에서 제조된 나노탄소섬유를 충전시켰을 때, 가장 높게 얻어져서 충전재의 전기전도도 외에도 비표면적이 중요한 변수임을 알 수 있었다. PVA 양에 대한 나노탄소섬유의 함량이 증가할수록 나노탄소섬유 복합재의 전기전도도는 기하급수적으로 증가했고, 110$0^{\circ}C$에서 1시간 동안 나노탄소섬유의 열처리를 통하여 복합재의 전기전도도는 5~7배 증가하였으며, 전자파 차폐율은 2~3 dB 정도 향상시킬 수 있었다.

Poyethylene films can be modified by radiation grafting of N-vinyl pyrollidone using y-radiation. FTIR spectra were used to confirm the modification of PE films. The modified films were activated by two-step and one step methods for electroless Cu plating. Morphology of metallized films has been investigated. Electroless Cu plating onto the modified films depends mainly on the grafting degree and activation type. The conductivity of the metallized films has been investigated.

The metallic nanoparticles (Pt, Au, Ag. Cu, etc.) supported on ceria-titania mixed oxide exhibit a high catalytic activity for the water gas shift reaction ($H_2O\;+\;CO\;{\leftrightarrow}\;H_2\;+\;CO_2$) and the CO oxidation ($O_2\;+\;2CO\;{\leftrightarrow}\;2CO_2$). It has been speculated that the high catalytic activity is related to the easy exchange of the oxidation states of ceria ($Ce^{3+}$ and $Ce^{4+}$) on titania, but very little is known about the ceria titanium interaction, the growth mode of metal on ceria titania complex, and the reaction mechanism. In this work, the growth of $CeO_x$ and Au/$CeO_x$ on rutile $TiO_2$(110) have been investigated by Scanning Tunneling Microscopy (STM), Photoelectron Spectroscopy (PES), and DFT calculation. In the $CeO_x/TiO_2$(110) systems, the titania substrate imposes on the ceria nanoparticles non-typical coordination modes, favoring a $Ce^{3+}$ oxidation state and enhancing their chemical activity. The deposition of metal on a $CeO_x/TiO_2$(110) substrate generates much smaller nanoparticles with an extremely high activity. We proposed a mechanism that there is a strong coupling of the chemical properties of the admetal and the mixed-metal oxide: The adsorption and dissociation of water probably take place on the oxide, CO adsorbs on the admetal nanoparticles, and all subsequent reaction steps occur at the oxide-admetal interface.

The effects of heat treatment time and cooling method on microstructure and mechanical property of Cu-22wt%Sn alloy were discussed. ${\alpha}+{\delta}$ mixed phase structure was obtained in air-cooled specimens after heat treatment at 775, 750, and $700^{\circ}C$ for 1 hour. On the other hand, in water-cooled specimens, ${\alpha}+{\beta}^{\prime}$ martensite mixed phase was obtained. In the case of water-cooled specimens, the hardness value decreased with decreasing heat treatment temperature because the volume fraction of ${\alpha}$ phase with low hardness value increased as the heat treatment temperature decreased. In water-cooled specimen after heat treatment at $600^{\circ}C$, ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ martensite was formed instead of ${\beta}^{\prime}$ martensite. The hardness value of ${\gamma}^{\prime}$ martensite was lower than those of ${\beta}^{\prime}$ and ${\delta}$ phases.

Molecular Dynamics(MD) method was used to investigate the change of friction force due to interaction between dislocations and a grain boundary when a Ni tip was scratched on a Cu bicrystal. The substrate comprised a Cu bicrystal containing a vertical$\Sigma=5(210)$ grain boundary. The moving tip for scratching simulation was consisted of fixed Ni atoms emulating a rigid tip. The indentation depth was $3.6\AA$ and the scratching was performed along <110>direction in the first grain. As the scratching was continued, nucleation and propagation of dislocations were observed. In the early stage, the grain boundary played as a barrier to moving dislocations and interrupting further dislocation movement with no dislocation resulting in no propagation across the grain boundary. As the Ni tip approached the grain boundary, dislocations were nucleated at the grain boundary and propagated to the second grain. However, stick-slip phenomena that were observed on a single crystal scratching were not observed in the bicrystal. And, instead, irregular oscillation of friction force was observed during the scratching due to the presence of a grain boundary.
