The goal of study was to investigate the influence of the acrylated urethane oligomer on mechanical properties, the chemical resistance and thermal resistance of the UV curable urethane acrylate coatings for fancy veneer overlayed plywood flooring. The pencil hardness and abrasion resistance of the coated fancy veneer overlayed plywood floorings increased with increasing the acrylate functionality of the acrylated urethane oligomer. In the case of the UV cured film containing hexa-functional acrylated aliphatic urethane oligomer, high discoloration of the coated fancy veneer overlayed plywood flooring was observed near the cracks at the beginning of the chemical treatment. In this study, it was found that the degradation of the UV cured film caused by an alkaline reagent was higher than that of the UV cured film caused by an acidic treatment.

The effect of trimming process to adjust accurate resistance of a thin-film resistor was studied with respect to low temperature coefficient of resistance(TCR) and high precision. The characteristics of a thin-film resistor fabricated by sputtering were investigated depending on trimming condition and annealing temperature. Measured results showed that the characteristic of a thin-film resistor was degraded with increased trimming speed. However, an average resistance deviation and a TCR were improved to $0.26\%$ and 52.77[ppm/K], respectively, through annealing treatment. Also, thin-film resistors with 1 k$\Omega$ and 10k$\Omega$ showed better performance compared to a resistor with 100k$\Omega$. The Optimal trimming speed and annealing temperature were 20mm/sec and 539K, respectively, and under this optimal condition, a thin-film resistor with an average resistance deviation of $0.31\%$ and a TCR of below 10[ppm/K] was obtained.

Skid resistance is defined as the friction between pavement surfaces and vehicle tires. Lower skid resistances were observed as the vehicle speeds the water film thicknesses were increased according to the analysis results using computer modeling. The lift force is calculated from the analysis results and depends on vehicle speeds and the water film thickness. A modified IFI(international friction index) skid resistance prediction model was developed to reduce the differences between the IFI resistance prediction model and the actual skid resistance. The correlation analysis results between the IFI prediction model and the actual skid resistance revealed that the $R^2$ using the modified IFI prediction model was 0.64 whereas the $R^2$ using the conventional IFI prediction model was 0.49. This presents the modified prediction model is better than the conventional one. An improved precise prediction model is to be obtained if water film thicknesses are considered in the modified prediction model.

An integral electrode-bipolar plate assembly, which is composed of electrode, conductive adhesive film (CAF) and bipolar plate, has been developed and evaluated for application with a vanadium redox flow battery (VRB) to decrease contact resistance between electrode and bipolar plate. The CAF, made of EVA (ethylene-vinyl-acetate) material with carbon black or CNT (Carbon Nano Tube), is applied between the electrode and the bipolar plate to enable an integral assembly by adhesion. In order to evaluate the integral assembly of VRB by adhesive film, the resistivity of integral assembly and the performance of single cell were investigated. Thus, it was verified that the integral assembly is applicable to redox flow battery. Through resistance and contact resistance of bare EVA and CAF films on bipolar plate were changed. Among the adhesive films, CAF film coated with carbon black showed the lowest value in through resistance, and CAF film coated with CNT showed the lowest value in contact resistance, respectively. The efficiency of VRB single cell was improved by applying CAF films coated with carbon black and CNT, resulting in the reduced overvoltage in charging process. Therefore, the energy efficiency of both CAF films, about 84%, were improved than that of blank cell, about 79.5 % under current density at 40 mA cm^-2. The energy efficiency of the two cells were similar, but carbon black coated CAF improved the coulomb efficiency and CNT coated CAF improved the voltage efficiency, respectively.

PV module has many power loss factors, and series resistance is the most important elements of them. It is therefore easy to expect the partial shading decrease the lifetime of the semiconductor depletion layer in thin film PV module. Different shading losses could be related with the hot spot which is critical in expecting the reliability issue. In this paper we have modelled the series resistance of the PV module with both different direction of the cell line and shading area of the panel. From the results, thin film a-Si PV module has shown different properties by shading direction.

The passivation (or deactivation) of a metal surface during oxide film formation has been quantitatively explored for a ferritic stainless steel by using dynamic electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (DEIS). For this purpose, the electrochemical impedance spectra were carefully examined as a function of applied potential in the active nose region of the potentiodynamic polarization curve, to separate the charge transfer resistance and oxide film resistance. From the discrepancy in the potential dependence between the experimental charge transfer resistance and the semi-empirically expected one, the degree of passivation could be quantitatively estimated. The sensitivity of passivation of the steel surface to anodic potential, which might be the measure of the quality of the oxide film formed under unit driving force or over-potential, decreased by 31% when 3.5 wt% NaCl was added to a 5 wt% $H_2SO_4$ solution.

Stainless steel is a metal that does not generate rust. Due to its excellent workability, economic feasibility, and corrosion resistance, it is used in various industrial fields such as ships, piping, nuclear power, and machinery. However, stainless steel is vulnerable to corrosion in harsh environments. To solve this problem, its corrosion resistance could be improved by electrochemically forming an anodized film on its surface. In this study, 316L stainless steel was anodized at room temperature with ethylene glycol-based 0.1 M NH₄F and 0.1M H₂O electrolyte to adjust the thickness of the oxide film using different anodic oxidation voltages (30 V, 50 V, and 70 V) with time control. The anodic oxidation experiment was performed by increasing the time from 1 hour to 7 hours at 2-hour intervals. Corrosion resistance according to the thickness of the anodic oxide film was observed. Electrochemical corrosion behavior of oxide films was investigated through polarization experiments.

In this work we deposited Pentacene thin film by OMBD at the various substrate temperatures, deposition rate and the various annealing temperatures for the fabrication of organic TFT and investigated the electrical and film surface characteristics such as sheet resistance, contact resistance and conductance Film thickness were measured by $\alpha$-step and the sheet resistance, contact resistance and conductance were extracted from the relation between the distance of the contacts and the resistance. During the film deposition the substrate temperature was held at 3$0^{\circ}C$, 4$0^{\circ}C$, 5$0^{\circ}C$, 6$0^{\circ}C$, 8$0^{\circ}C$ and 10$0^{\circ}C$, respectively. After the film deposition, Au contact was deposited by thermal evaporation. For the effect of annealing, the thin film was annealed in the nitrogen environment at 10$0^{\circ}C$ and 14$0^{\circ}C$ for 10 seconds, respectively. Film surface characteristics at the vatious substrate temperatures were measured by AFM. The crystallization of thin film was improved as the substrate temperatures were increased and the maximum gram size was 4${\mu}{\textrm}{m}$. The conductivity of thin film was found to be 7.40 $\times$10$^{-7}$ ~ 7.78$\times$10$^{-6}$ S/cm and the minimum contact resistance was 2.5324 ㏁.

Both poly(vinyl alcohol)$(PVA)-I_2$ and PVA-dye polarizing film were prepared using PVA with number-average degree of polymerization of 1,700, 2,300, 2,600. The optical property of used dye in this study closed to the that of iodine. The PVA-dye polarizing film was prepared through the dyeing process. In comparison of the result of the measurement of the heat and humidity resistance of two types polarizing films, it of PVA-dye polarizing film was higher than that of a conventional $PVA-I_2$polarizing film. The transmittance and the polarization efficiency of PVA-dye polarizing film was significantly influenced by dye concentration, dipping time, salt concentration, and temperature of dye bath. The PVA-dye polarizing film exhibited a high polarization efficiency of 99.3% and a good transmittance of 42.4%.

Recently a variety of electrochemical techniques have been used for the measurement of under-film corrosion of coated steel. Each method has its own characteristic and is suitable to determine some kinds of anti-corrosive mechanisms of coating film. We developed a new under-film corrosion tester (UFCT) which adoped current interrupter technique in principle. Electrochemical parameters can be measured by UFCT. It is possible for the novel under-film corrosion tester to evaluate under-film corrosion of steel covered with high electric resistance coating film which has no defect and is not easy to evaluate it by other methods. Finally some experimental results of protective coating performance obtained by UFCT were discussed.
