The performance of a nanofiltration membrane for treatment of a low-level radioactive liquid waste was investigated through static and dynamic tests. The liquid waste ("carbonated water") was obtained during conversion of $UF_6$ to $UO_2$. In the static tests membrane samples were immersed in the waste for 24, 48 or 72 h. The transport properties of the samples (hydraulic permeability, permeate flow, selectivity) were evaluated before and after immersion in the waste. In the dynamic tests the waste was permeated in a permeation flow front system under 0.5 MPa, to determine the selectivity of NF membranes to uranium. The surface layer of the membrane was characterized by zeta potential, field emission microscopy, atomic force spectroscopy and infrared spectroscopy. The static test showed that the pore size distribution of the selective layer was altered, but the membrane surface charge was not significantly changed. 99% of uranium was rejected after the dynamic tests.

Metallized Polyimide films are extensively used as base materials in microelectronics, optical and automotive applications. However it is difficult to deposit metals on those because of their structural stabilities. In this work, polyimide films are modified by a wet process with alkalinemetalhydroxide and additives to introduce functional groups. The surface molecular structures of polyimide are investigated using X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), fourier transform infrared reflection spectroscopy(FTIR-ATR), atomic force micro-scopic(AFM). XPS spectra and FTIR spectra show that the surface structure of polyimide is converted into potassium polyamate. AFM image and AFM cross-sectional analyses reveal the increased roughness on the modified surface of polyimide films. As a result, it is shown that the adhesion strength between polyimide surface and electroless nickel layer is increased by the nano-anchoring effect.

Zirconium oxynitride films were obtained by r.f. reactive magnetron sputtering of a zirconium target with nitrogen flow rate ranging from 0 to 60 sccm. The phases present in the films were determined by X-ray diffraction (XRD). Measurements of the oxidation state $ZrON_x$ films were investigated by X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) and Auger electron spectroscopy (AES). Thickness of these samples was estimated by spectroscopic ellipsometry (SE) and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). We found that the surface morphology of $ZrON_x$ films measured by atomic force microscopy (AFM) was also depended on the nitrogen gas flow.

The compatibility and the surface structure of blends of poly(styrene-co-acrylonitrile) (SAN) with either poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) or hydrolyzed PMMA (H-PMMA) were studied in terms of film thickness, interaction, and surface free energy difference on the basis of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), attenuated total reflection Fourier transform IR spectroscopy and atomic force microscopy. The XPS measurement showed that the surface enrichment of (PMMA/SAN) blends with different AN contents of SAN and with different carboxyl acid contents of PMMA was dependent on the molecular interaction, the surface free energy difference between components and the sample preparation history. It was found that the compatibility of H-PMMA and SAN was reduced with increasing carboxyl acid content of PMMA.

Statement of problem. When TiN coating is applied to the abutment screw, occurrence of greater preload and prevention of the screw loosening could be expected due to decrease of frictional resistance. However, the proper thickness of TiN coating on abutment screw has not been yet reported. Purpose. The purpose of this study is to find out the appropriate TiN coating thickness by evaluating the detorque force and the surface change of titanium abutment screw with various TiN coating thickness. Material and methods. 1. Material Thirty five non-coated abutment screws were prepared for TiN coating. TiN coatings were prepared by Arc ion plating method. Depending on the coating deposition time(CDT), experimental groups were divided into 6 groups(CDT 30min, 60min, 90min, 120min, 150min, 180min) and those of 1 group was not coated as a control group. Each group was made up of 5 abutment screws. 2. Methods FE-SEM(Field Emission Scanning Electron Microscoper) and EDX(Energy Dispersive X-ray Spectroscopy) were used to observe the surface of the abutment screw. Electric scales was used to measure the weight of the abutment screw after the repeated closing and opening of 10 trials. Detorque force was measured with digital torque gauge, at each trial. Results. 1. As the coating deposition time increased, the surface became more consistent and smooth. 2. As for the abutment screws that were TiN coated for more than 60 minutes, no surface change was found after the repeated closing and opening. 3. The TiN coated abutment screws showed less weight change than the non-coated abutment screws. 4. The TiN coated abutment screws showed higher mean detorque force than the noncoated abutment screws. 5. The abutment screw coated for 60 minutes showed the highest mean detorque force. Conclusion. The coating layer of proper thickness is demanded to obtain consistent and smooth coating surface, resistance to wear, and increased detorque force of the abutment screw. In conclusion, the coating deposition time of 60 minutes indicated improved mechanical property, when TiN coating was conducted on titanium abutment screw.

목적: RGP 콘택트렌즈들의 성분과 표면을 일관된 방법으로 분석하여, RGP 렌즈 재료의 성분 설계에 기본 정보를 제시하고자 하였다. 방법: 렌즈 재료의 구조는 적외선분광(FTIR), 표면 조성은 X-선 광전자분광(XPS), 표면의 형상과 거칠기는 원자현미경(AFM), 습윤성은 접촉각으로 평가하였으며, 상호관계와 경향을 분석하였다. 결과: 산소투과성이 높은 RGP 렌즈들은 불소를 줄이고, 실리콘의 양을 증가시키는 경향을 나타냈다. RGP 렌즈들의 재료는 실리콘과 불소의 증가에 따라 일정한 비율로 탄소와 산소가 감소하였으며, 탄소의 감소가 산소보다 3배 크게 나타났다. 그리고 표면처리가 된 재료는 탄소와 산소가 조성 변화 추세선에서 떨어져 있었다. 실리콘이 증가하면 미세입자의 응집이, 불소의 양이 증가하면 깊은 홈이 나는 형태로 표면이 거칠어졌으며, 거칠기에 대한 영향은 실리콘이 더 컸다. 실리콘과 불소가 증가하면 습윤성이 감소했는데, 실리콘에 의한 영향이 2배 크게 나타났다. RGP 렌즈 재료는 표면이 거칠어지면 습윤성이 감소하는 소수성의 형태를 나타냈다. 결론: RGP 렌즈들의 성분과 표면을 동일한 방법으로 측정하고, 상호관계를 분석하였다. 따라서 이 연구는 RGP 렌즈 재료의 성분 설계에 대한 기초 자료로 활용할 수 있을 것으로 사료된다.

본 연구에서는 전류밀도 변화에 따른 탄소섬유의 양극산화 처리가 탄소섬유 표면과 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료의 기계적 계면결합력에 미치는 영향을 고찰하였다. 양극산화 처리된 탄소섬유 표면 특성은 원자간력 현미경(Atomic force microscope, AFM)과 전계방사형 주사전자현미경(Field emission-scanning electron microscope, FE-SEM), 적외선 분광법(Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, FT-IR) 및 X선 광전자 분광법(X-ray Photoelectron Spectroscopy, XPS)으로 분석하였으며, Short beam 전단시험을 통해 표면처리에 따른 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료의 계면 전단강도를 측정하였다. 실험 결과 전류밀도가 증가함에 따라 탄소섬유 표면의 거칠기와 산소관능기의 함량의 증가와, 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료의 층간전단강도(Interlaminar shear strength, ILSS)의 향상 및 페놀릭 하이드록실 그룹과의 비례관계를 확인하였다. CF-2.0 시편의 층간전단강도는 87.9 MPa로 CF-AS 시편에 비해 약 4% 증가하였는데, 이러한 결과는 양극산화 처리가 산소관능기와 탄소섬유 표면 거칠기의 증가를 유도하여 탄소섬유와 수지의 계면 결합력이 증가된 것으로 판단된다. 그중 층간전단강도와 비례관계인 페놀릭 하이드록실 그룹은 탄소섬유 강화 복합재료의 계면결합력을 향상시키는 중요한 요소라 판단된다.

TiN thin films were grown on (100) Si substrate by atomic layer epitaxy at 130 - $240^{\circ}C$ using TEMAT and NH3 as precursors. Reactants were injected into the reactor in sequence of TEMAT precursor vapor pulse, N2 purging gas pulse, NH3 gas pulse and N2 purging gas pulse so that gas-phase reactions could be removed. The films were characterized by means of x-ray diffraction(XRD), 4-point probe, atomic force microscopy(AFM) and auger electron spectroscopy(AES).

본 연구에서는 금속 원자를 단열 팽창시켜 클러스터를 만들고, 생성된 클러스터를 이온화시킨 후 집속렌즈 및 electric quadrupole을 이용하여 기판으로 증착 하였다. 집속렌즈의 설계에서는 단일 초점 방식의 렌즈보다 성능을 높이기 위하여 이중 초점과 핀홀을 써서 집속 효과 및 효율을 높였다. 렌즈의 설계는 일반적으로 하전입자의 에너지 손실 없이 집속할수 있는 Einzel 렌즈를 기본으로 하였으며, SIMION software 를 사용하여 시뮬레이션 하였다. 시뮬레이션 후 실제 렌즈계 및 정전압원을 제작하여 금(Au)의 클러스터를 생성하여 렌즈계를 통과한 후 실제 기판위로 증착이 되는 것을 AFM(Atomic force microscopy)과 XPS(X-ray photoemission spectroscopy)를 이용해 조사하여 렌즈계가 실제로 동작함을 확인하였다.
