The elemental segregation in the sputter-deposited AgInSbTe recording thin films was studied by means of Auger electron spectroscopy and ESCA for the specimens of as-deposited and as heat-treated conditions. Auger electron spectroscopy and ESCA revealed an extremely thin layer of elemental inhomogeneity, especially for the silver, even in as-deposited condition. The chemical analysis results obtained in this alloy system are discussed in terms of process parameters and target microstructure.

Plasma polymerized thin films were manufactured inter-electrode coupled plasma polymerization apparatus. The deposition rate reached its maximum between 40[W] and 100[W]. In the ESCA analysis, peaks revealing -CH2, -CH, -C- were present at 285.4 and 285.5[eV] respectively. The C=O peak at 532.8[eV] and the C-O peak at 533.8[eV], which were grouped with an unignorable amount of oxygen were conformed. In ESR analysis, the curve revealing strong amplification was in saturation, which was affected by weak power. This is considered as a -CH-Ch=Ch- structure containing the Allyl group. The relative permittivity of the plasma polymerized thin films was about 3.5 at a frequency of 100[Hz]∼200[kHz]. The dissipation factor showed allow value of 0.008.

The anodic polarization behavior of equiatomic TiNi shape memory alloy with pure titanium as a reference material was investigated by means of open circuit potential measurement and potentiodynamic polarization technique. And the structure of passive films on TiNi intermetallic compounds was also conducted using AES and ESCA. While the dissolved Ni(II) ion did not affect the dissolution rate and passivation of TiNi alloy, the dissolved Ti(III) ion was oxidated to Ti(IV) ion on passivated TiNi surface at passivation potential. It has also been found that the Ti(IV) ion increases the steady state potential, and passivates TiNi alloy at a limited concentration of Ti(IV) ion. The analysis by AES showed that passive film of TiNi alloy was composed of titanium oxide and nickel oxide, and the content of titanium was three times higher than that of nickel in outer side of passive film. According to the ESCA analysis, the passive film was composed of $TiO_2$ and NiO. It seems reasonable to suppose that NiO could act as unstabilizer to the oxide film and could be dissolved preferentially. Therefore, nickel oxide contained in the passive film may promote the dissolution of the film, and it could be explained the reason of higher pitting susceptibility of TiNi alloy than pure Ti.

종이는 제조 후 시간의 경과에 따라 노화가 야기되기 시작하며 이에 수반되는 현상으로서 종이의 기계적 강도 손실 및 종이의 색 변화를 들 수 있다. 종이의 노화 현상은 주로 빛, 열, 대기 오염물질, 미생물, 곤충 및 화학약품 등의 외부 인자들에 의해 종이 내에서의 가수 분해 또는 산화작용을 발생시키며 이는 종이의 폭넓은 이용올 제한하는 중요한 원인이 되고 있다. 종이의 노화기작은 주로 산 가수분해 및 산화작용 그리고 가교결합 둥으로 해석되고 있다. 이는 종이의 주 구성요소인 셀룰로오스의 수산기가 반웅하여 카르보닐기를 형성하면 서 저분자화 되거나 산소에 의해 산화되면서 저분자화 되어 종이의 강도적 손실이 일어난다 고 보고되고 있으며 종이의 황색화(Yellowing) 현상은 주원인이 종이에 잔존하고 있는 리그 년이 빛과 열에 의해 반응하여 산화됨으로써 야기된다고 설명되고 있다. 즉, 열이나 자외선 및 가시광션의 조사로 인한 셀룰로오스 및 기타 종이 구성물의 산화에 의해 종이가 퇴색되 거나 강도가 저하되는 현상이 일어나게 된다. 특히 이러한 노화 거동은 상온의 경우에서는 펄프와 종이의 황색화가 천천히 일어나지만 옹도가 점차 올라갈수록 그 속도는 빨라진다. 종이가 노화되면서 일어나는 산화반용은 주로 대기 중의 산소와 접촉하기 쉬운 표변에서부 터 발생하기 쉽다. 열처리를 통해 표면에서의 산화 작용은 촉진되고 종이의 구성원소의 결 합에 화학적 변화가 야기된다. 이를 분석하기 위해서 모든 원소가 독특한 결합에너지를 가 지고 있다는 것에 착안 시료 표면에 특정 x-선 및 전자빔을 입사하여 방출하는 광전자의 에너지를 측정함으로써 시료 표면의 조성 및 화학적인 결합상태를 알 수 있는 ESCA ( (Electron Spectroscopy for Chemical Analysis)를 이용하였다 .. ESCA는 주로 표면 원소의 규 명 및 정량분석과 화학결합 상태의 정성, 정량 분석, 깊이에 따른 원소의 농도 분포 분석, 고분자화합물의 특성 조사, 표면 원소의 화학결합에 따른 전자상태 연구 둥에 활용되 고 있 다. 즉, 종이가 노화되면서 원소들 사이에 변화되는 결합을 이러한 에너지 분석에 의해 원소 정성분석 또는 정량분석을 하고자 하였으며, 이를 분석하여 열처리 시 종이 표면에서 일어 나는 변화를 구명하고자 하였다. 이에 따라 본 연구에서는 종이의 노화를 가속화시키는 빛, 대기오염물질, 및 기타 다른 인 자들은 배제하고 열 만을 가해 노화의 진행속도를 높인 후, 노화 진행 시 종이 표변에 일어 나는 산화작용 및 가수분해를 표면 분석 장치인 ESCA를 이용하여 종이의 주 구성원소인 탄소와 산소가 열처리 시 변하는 에너지를 측정하였다. 또한 카르복실기 정량과 종이의 pH 측정 및 X -ray Diffractometer를 이용하여 결정화도를 측정하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 시간의 경과에 따라서 탄소의 결합에너지는 분포가 C-H에서 COO-, 또는 C=O로 달라짐으로써 종 이가 산화되고 있다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 또한 이 결합에너지 분포의 변화가 펄프의 종류 에 따라서 다르게 이동함으로써 제조된 시트의 표면 산화반응이 서로 다르게 일어나고 있음 을 알 수 있었으며, 이는 사용한 펄프의 화학 조성분의 차이에 기인한 것이라 사료된다.

Silk fabric treated with fluorocarbon resins (Asahi Guard AG-7005 and AG-E061) were washed and subsequently heat treated varying the washing cycles and the temperature. After the processing, the water and oil repellencies, and contact angle to water were evaluated. The water and oil repellencies decreased by the washing and recovered by following heat treatment. Also ESCA measurement was carried out to investigate the surface chemical composition of the treated fiber. The $F_1s$ intensity of the treated fabric decreased by the washing and recovered by the subsequent heat treatment. On the other hand, the $O_1s$ intensity increased by the washing and decreased by following heat treatment. From the results, it is clear that change of the water and oil repellencies of the silk fabric treated with fluorocarbon resin occurred by the washing and subsequent heat treatment. Considering a change of the water repellency of the silk fabric treated with fluorocarbon resin, it seems likely that the fluoroalkyl group of the fluorocarbon resin rotates from surface to inside of the fiber by the washing to adapt to the hydrophilic circumstance, and the orientation of the fluoroalkyl groups of the resin disturbed by the washing recovers the orientation to the fiber surface after the subsequent heat treatment.

Plasma techniques permit modification of the surface layers of the substrate while maintaining its bulk properties. The use of plasma treatment on textile fibers and fabrics is very limited, however, the limitations, plasma treatments have been used to modify surface properties of textiles. In this study, multifunctional finish was performed by corona discharge technique for surface functionalization. Electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis(ESCA) was used to determine the ratios of carbon, oxygen, nitrogen, and phosphor at a 20$\AA$ sampling depth. K/S value and limiting oxygen index(LOI) value were used to obtain information on the effect of the finished fabrics. The mechanism of the flame retardancy was analyzed by the thermogravimetry-and the residue number. In ESCA, relative N1s intensity increased in case of mixtrure. The flame retardancy of the polyester and polyester/cotton fabrics treated with JA-6034 and JA-6050 was found to be operative mainly in the condensed phase mechanism. The multifunctional finish was better effect for the post treated finish agent.

This paper was carried out to introduce flame retardant and antibiotic properties to polyester(PET) and polyester/cotton(P/C) blend fabrics. PET and P/C blend fabrics were treated by a paddry-cure method in the aqueous solutions of the finishing agents(JA 6034, JA 6050, DC-5700). The corona discharge technique was applied to increase the polar group of the polymer surface. The characteristics of the treated fabric were investigated by means of scanning electron microscope (SEM) and electron spectroscopy for chemical analysis(ESCA), and water penetration time, limiting Oxygen index(LOI), and K/S value were also measured. Wettability of the fabrics was increased considerably with the corona discharge treatment. ESCA was used to elucidate the surface chemical composition of the fabrics treated with the corona discharge. Relative Ols intensity increased and oxygen was incorporated in the form of -C-O-, -C=O, and O=C-O on the polymer surface. The current study indicated that corona discharge treatment was effective for modifying the polymer surface.

The surface of Poly(ether imide) (PEI) membranes has been sulfonated using CIS03H. The resulting membranes were characterized through the analysis of ESCA and contact angle measurements The sulfonated PEI membranes were exposed to gases of $O_2$, $N_2$, and $CO_2$ to measure the permeation rates and ideal separation factors. In addition, the diffusivities and solubilities of individual gases were measured. The diffusivity effect is more dominant than the solubility one on gas transports.

Silicone hydrogels incorporated with poly(ethylene glycol)(PEG) were prepared and characterized to evaluate the effects of PEG on contact lenses. The silicone hydrogels were copolymerized with methacryloxypropyl tris(trimethylsiloxy) silane (TRIS), methyl methacrylate (MMA), N,N-dimethyl acrylamide (DMA) and PEG-containing monomers such as poly(ethylene glycol) methyl ether methacrylate (PEG- MEM). The silicone hydrogels were characterized using Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FT-IR), electron spectroscopy of chemical analysis (ESCA), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). Water absorbance, water contact angle and light transmittance of the silicone hydrogels were evaluated. The experiments of protein adsorption were also carried out to evaluate the protein adsorption in tears. The peak intensity of C-O bond was increased by the incorporation of PEG-containing monomers and thus PEG incorporation into silicone hydrogels could be confirmed. Phase separation was not shown by the SEM observation of the cross-section of silicone hydrogels. Water absorbancy was increased, while water contact angle and light transmittance were decreased with increasing incorporation of the PEG-containing monomers. The absorption of proteins in tears, albumin, lysozyme and $\gamma$-globulin, on the surface of silicone hydrogels was decreased with increasing incorporation of the PEG-containing monomers.
