In this study, we report a novel encapsulation method for longevity of an organic thin-film transistor (OTFT) using pentaceneby means of an adhesive multiplayerincluded Al film. For encapsulation of OTFTs, the Al film adhered onto the OTFT in a dry nitrogen atmosphere using a proper adhesive. A lifetime, which was defined as the time necessary to reduce mobility to 2% of initial mobility value, was observed from the typical $I_{D-VD}$ characteristics of the field-effect transistor (FET). The initial field effect mobility ${\mu}$ was measured to be $2.0{\times}10^{-1}\;cm^2/Vs$. The characterization was maintained for long times in air. No substantial degeneration occurred. The performance and the stability are probably due to the encapsulation effect.

Polypropylene(PP) films were treated with plasma glow discharge to produce peroxy radicals on the surfaces. The peroxy radicals formed on the PP film surfaces were subsequently used for the graft polymerization of acrylic acid and acrylamide in an aqueous solution by heating, respectively. Introduction of acrylic acid and acrylamide on the PP film could be confirmed by the observation of carbonyl and primary amine absorptions based on carboxylic acid and amide, respectively. And introduction of functional group could be confirmed by weight analysis and ESCA. The water contact angle(90$^{\circ}$) of PP film was constant, irrespective of elapsed time, while plasma-treated and functional monomer-grafted PP films were slowly increased with elapsed time, showing the rearrangement of surface polar groups in air condition. The water contact angle$(90^\circ)$ of PP film was decreased by the plasma treatment$(56^\circ)$ and further decreased by the grafting of acrylic acid$(34^\circ)$ and acrylamide$(37^\circ)$, indicating increased hydrophilicity of the modified surfaces. The water contact angle of plasma-treated PP film increased a little as time elapsing. The half-life periods of surface voltage on acrylic acid-(31sec) and acrylamide-grafted PP(42sec) were significantly decreased when compared to those on PP(950sec) and plasma-treated PP film(241sec). In the experiments using acid, basic and disperse dyes, absorbance and $\Delta{E}$ values of functional monomer-grafted PP films were significantly increased than that of oxygen plasma-treated one.

The surface energy and the effect of functional groups on the surface of the ozone-treated low-density polyethylene (LDPE) film were studied. Treatment conditions were treatment time, total amount of transferred ozone, and ozone concentration. The introduction of polar groups on the surface of LDPE film after ozone treatment was confirmed by FTIR-ATR and XPS analyses. Surface fee energy of the LDPE film was examined by a contact angle method. The ozone treated-LDPE film showed a decreased water contact angles about 15$^{\circ}$ mainly due to the increased concentration of oxygen-containing functional groups, which was attributed to the increased surface free energy or $O_{IS}/C_{IS}$Also, the concentrations of the oxygen-containing functional groups on the surface of LDPE film increased with ozone treatment time and concentration, whereas no significant effects were found for the total amount of transferred ozone. From the dyeability test using Kubelka-Munk equation, it was found that the ozone treatment plays an important role in the growth of oxygen-containing functional groups of LDPE film, resulting in the improvement of dyeability for basic dyeing agent.

The main challenges for the development of agricultural bio-degradable mulching film concern the degradation during the lifetime of cultivated crops. A set of rice by-product (rice-hull and rice-bran) based bio-degradable mulching films was developed and tested, following the measurement of standard bio-degradability rate and adaptability in a large scale field experiment. The standard bio-degradability of bio-film passed the KS (Korea standard) regulation. The result of mechanical analysis of bio-degradable mulching film presented a higher mechanical strength and elongation rate compared with polyethylene film. In addition, bio-film could be degraded into fragments within 4 months under the field condition of several upland crops. Bio-degradable mulching film indicated great potential as a new source of agricultural bio-degradable material.

Barley proteins are expected to have unique functional properties due to their high content of alcohol soluble protein, hordein. Since the barley proteins obtained by conventional isoelectric precipitation method cannot represent hordein fraction, barley proteins were fractionated to albumin, globulin, glutelin, and hordein with respect to extraction solvents. Functional properties and film-forming properties of solubility-fractionated barley proteins were investigated to explore their potential for human food ingredient and industrial usage. The 100 g of total barley protein comprised 5 g albumin, 23 g globulin, 45 g glutelin, and 27 g hordein. Water-binding capacities of barley protein isolates ranged from 140-183 mL water/100 g solid. Hordein showed the highest oil absorption capacity (136 mL oil/100 g), and glutelin showed the highest gelation property among the fractionated proteins. In general, the barley protein fractions formed brittle and weak films as indicated by low tensile strength (TS) and percent elongation at break (E) values. The salt-soluble globulin fraction produced film with the lowest TS value. Although films made from glutelin and hordein were dark-colored and had lower E values, they could be used as excellent barriers against water transmission.

The functional dyes, which has various optical characteristics that can be applicable to field of electronic, photo electronic, such as sensor or electrode, were synthesized. Physical property and optical stability was studied with preparation of conductive type film as a kind of optical filter of plasma display panel, by adapting neon cut off dye, which can selectively absorbing between 580 and 610nm wavelength. The filter was prepared with PSA resin, which has functional group of - COOH and - OH, as binder. And the characters such as spectroscopy, heat-proof / wet-proof, thermal stability and commerciality, which must be held by functional dyes, were examined. Conductive type film is the kind of film includes only neon cut off dyes. For the neon cut off dyes, cyanine dyes can be applied. And it is observed that spectrum of before and after the durability test are not changed due to stability of dyes, as the result of coating on the mesh film with PSA binder.

Chinese cabbage is produced and consumed as a main material for kimchi and as a staple vegetable in Korea throughout the year. However, due to environmental changes unbalance between supply and demand is repeated annually, requiring development of long-term storage technologies. Chinese cabbages, were harvested, put in plastic boxes, and precooled at $2^{\circ}C$ for 24 hours using forced air precooler. After precooling, Chinese cabbages were MAP-treated with 0.02 mm HDPE film and functional film and stored at low temperature ($1{\pm}0.5^{\circ}C$). The weight-loss rates after 9-weeks of storage were 8.47% in the control group, 4.07% in the HDPE film-treated group, and 3.07% in the functional film-treated group, respectively, suppressing weight loss. Trimming loss rate after 6-weeks of storage was 6.86% in the functional film MAP-treated group and lower than 7.50% in the control group. In the sensory test with 7 points as the limit of commodity, the control group lost it after 6-weeks of storage while the MAP-treated groups retained over 7 points. The functional film MAP-treated group showed over 6 points for processing as kimchi until 9-weeks of storage, proving that Pallet-type MAP storage is effective for extending storage life of spring Chinese cabbage.

Poly(p-phenylene pyromellitimide) and poly(4,4'-biphenylene pyromellitimide) are representatives of fully rod-like polyimides. Their structure and properties in thin films are reviewed. The polymers exhibit some excellent properties such as high molecular packing coefficient, high mechanical modulus, and low thermal expansion coefficient, and low interfacial stress, so that they are very attractive to both industry and academia. However, these polymers are very brittle and thus practically useless. Some chemical modifications to improve such drawback with a little sacrifice of the high modulus are described: i) incorporation of short side groups into the polymer backbone and ii) insertion of proper linkages into the polymer backbone.

To prevent an interfacial reaction between the anode and the electrolyte layer during the conventional high-temperature co-firing process, an anode-supported type cell with a thin-film electrolyte was fabricated by low-temperature ceramic thick film coating process. Ni-GDC cermet composite was used as the anode material and YSZ was used as the electrolyte material. Open circuit voltage and maximum power density were found to strongly depend on the surface uniformity of the anode functional layer. By optimizing the microstructure of the anode functional layer, the open circuit voltage and maximum powder density of the cell increased to 1.11 V and $1.35W/cm^2$, respectively, at $750^{\circ}C$. When a GDC barrier layer was applied between the YSZ electrolyte and the LSCF cathode, the cell showed good stability, with almost no degradation up to 100 h. Anode-supported type SOFCs with high performance and good stability were fabricated using a coating process.
