Interfacial properties of 5 nm MgO(001)/7 nm Fe(001)/1.8 nm MgO(001)/t nm Cu-phthalocyanine (CuPc) hybrid multilayers with t = 0, 1, 7, and 10 were investigated by using x-ray photoemission spectroscopy (XPS). Rather sharp interfacial properties were observed in the CuPc films grown on an epitaxial MgO/Fe/MgO(001) trilayer than a MgO/Fe(001) bilayer. This work suggests a new way to improve device performance of organic spintronic devices by utilizing an artificially grown MgO(001) thin layer.

In this study, electro-polymerization was used for coating PEDOT:SDS films on CNTs, thereby producing hybrid-type electrodes. The CNTs were deposited on PET substrates using a spray method. For the fabricated hybrid electrodes, their surface morphologies, electric sheet resistances, visible transmittances, and chromatic properties were characterized as functions of the polymerization conditions used for coating PEDOT, and compared with those of conventional CNTs. The experiment results confirmed that the sheet resistance of CNTs was decreased significantly by coating of PEDOT via electropolymerization, and also indicated that the fabricated hybrid electrodes revealed desirable properties as a transparent electrode for touch screen panels.

This study demonstrates hybrid-type transparent electrodes for touch screen panels. The hybrid-type electrodes were fabricated by coating carbon nanotubes (CNTs) on metal meshes. For the formation of metal meshes, thin films of silver (Ag) were deposited on glass substrates using a sputtering method and then pattenrned via photolithography to obtain mesh structures of which line width was $10{\mu}m$ and line-to-line spacing was $300{\mu}m$. CNTs were coated on Ag meshes by using electrophoretic deposition (EPD). For the samples of Ag meshes with/without CNTs, their surface morphologies, visible-range transmittances, and reflectances were characterized and compared. The experimental results indicated that the reflectance of Ag mesh electrodes was substantially reduced by coating of CNTs. Especially, the hybrid electrodes of Ag meshes with EPD-coated CNTs showed excellent properties such as transmittance higher than 90%, reflectance lower than 8%.

UV-Curable hybrid coatings were synthesized to improve the surface properties of plastic film. Organic-inorganic coating solutions were prepared by the sol-gel method using urethane-acrylate oligomer, acrylate monomer, photo initiator and tetraethoxysilane (TEOS). Methacryloyloxypropyltrimethoxysilane(MPTMS) was used as a silane coupling agent to improve chemical interaction between inorganic phases and UV curable acrylate. In this study, the surface hardness and adhesive properties were improved with the use of inorganic component. The experimental results showed that UV-Curable hybrid films containing aliphatic urethane oligomer, hexanedioldiacrylate, trimethylolpropanetriacrylate, hydroxy dimethyl acetophenone exhibited good surface properties. Also, the optimum curing conditions were investigated.

Hybrid-type transparent electrodes were fabricated by depositing carbon nanotubes (CNTs) via spray coating on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates and then coating the CNTs with [poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene)] (PEDOT) films via electro-polymerization. For all of the fabricated electrodes, their surface morphologies, electric sheet resistances, visible transmittances, and color properties (e.g., yellowness) were characterized as functions of the applied voltages and process times used in electro-polymerization. The sheet resistance of the CNTs was significantly reduced by the coating of PEDOT, while their visible transmittances slightly decreased. The yellowness values of the PEDOT-coated CNTs were observed to have substantially decreased via electro-polymerization. The experimental results confirmed that the fabricated hybrid electrodes had desirable properties for the application of transparent electrode in terms of the electrical resistance, optical transmittance, and chromaticity.

In this study, we fabricated and evaluated graphene composite based 3D scaffolds and planar films. The hybrid composite was prepared by mixing a calculated amount of graphene nanopowder and polydimethylsiloxane in tetrahydrofuran solution. The hybrid composite is easy to manufacture into various forms using direct printing technology or a pressing method. A 3D scaffold structure was prepared at ambient temperature with a flow rate of 240 mm/min. The nozzle pressure was maintained at 350 kPa by adjusting the viscosity of the composite material. The planar film was prepared at different thicknesses using a roll-to-roll equipment. The prepared hybrid nanocomposites were evaluated to investigate their electrical properties according to temperature and mechanical deformation. The obtained results were consistent with each other. Therefore, it can be used effectively as sensors through shape definition.

SiOC films were made using the oxygen and bistrimethylsilylmethane mixed precursor. The chemical properties of SiOC films divided into three properties, organic, hybrid and inorganic depending on the flow rate ratio between oxygen and bistrimethylsilylmethane precursor. The films with organic properties decreased dielectric constant, because of pore incorporation in final materials. In this study, the porosity of SiOC films with organic properties was investigated using the Makwell-Garnett equation. The porosity of the films could be correlated with the blue shift in the infrared spectra scopy, and increased with the decreasing the dielectric constant of the film.

In this paper, in-situ deposited $Ru/RuO_2$ bottom electrodes have been investigated as new bottom electrodes for PZT thin film capacitor application. As a comparison, structural and electrical properties of PZT thin films on Pt/Ti and $RuO_2$ bottom electrodes are also investigated. The use of $Ru/RuO_2$ hybrid electrodes showed better electrical properties in compression with $RuO_2$ bottom electrode. With increasing Ru electrode thickness, the PZT thin films showed preferred orientation along the (110) direction and and leakage current of PZT thin films were improved. The PZT thin films on Ru (100nm)/$RuO_2$ electrodes exhibited excellent ferroelectric properties such as remant polarization and coercive field of $7.2C/cm^2$ and 46.35 kV/cm, respectively.

Ti-Cu-N and Ti-Ag-N nanocomposite films with various copper and silver contents were synthesized by arc ion plating and magnetron sputtering hybrid system. The structure and mechanical properties of these films were found to be dependant on the copper and silver concentration. The maximum hardness of Ti-Cu-N and Ti-Ag-N films showed approximately 40 ㎬ below 2 at%Me. The role of soft metallic phase in Ti-Me-N nanosturctured films containing one hard and one soft phase is also discussed.

UV-curable hydrophilic coating solutions were prepared by mixing colloidal silica dispersed in alcohol with an acrylic monomer, pentaerythritol triacrylate (PETA). Hydrophilic coating films were also prepared by spin coating the hydrophilic coating solutions on PC substrates and UV curing for 10 minutes subsequently. The effect of the amount of colloidal silica in the coating solutions, which was varied from 10 g to 50 g, was investigated on the hydrophilic properties of UV-cured coating films. The results showed that the amount of colloidal silica had a great influence on the hydrophilic properties of UV-cured coating films and the coating film prepared with 30 g of colloidal silica showed a lowest contact angle of $37^{\circ}$ and an excellent pencil hardness of H.
