The structure of pore network of gas diffusion layers (GDLs) in PEMFCs plays a critical role in determining the transport phenomena of reaction gas as well as generated water. In addition, the interactive characteristics between water and surface of pore are no less important than the structural characteristics of pore network. In this study, porometric investigation is conducted for two kinds of GDL using method of standard porosimetry which enable to distinguish hydrophobic pores from hydrophilic pores of GDLs. The porosity of TGPH-120 decreases by 6% by adding 30 wt.% of PTFE, but the porosity of hydrophilic pores decreases by 12%. The relation of $p_c-S_{nw}$ varies with the addition of PTFE, especially at low $p_c$.

Wetting phenomena have been heavily studied for industrial and academic researches especially tuning the wettability between hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity. Wicking through the surface texture is shown on superhydrophilic surface while rolling (or dewetting) on the patterns of superhydrophobic surface. These wetting phenomena are known to be affected by surface wettability determined with physical surface patterns as well as chemical composition of surface layer. In this research, we introduce a method to control the wettability of a thin C-SiOx film from hydrophobic to hydrophilic using a mixture gas of HMDSO/$O_2$ by plasma polymerization with rf-CVD (radio frequency-Chemical Vapor Deposition). Wettability was finely controlled by changing the ratio of HMDSO/$O_2$. Hydrophilicity increased as the ratio decreased, while hydrophobicity was enhanced by the ratio. Moreover, fine control from superhydrophilicity to superhydrophobicity was achieved by C-SiOx coating on the Si wafer with prepatterns of submicron-sized pillar array formed by $CF_4$ plasma etching.

For the mold die sticking mechanism, the major explanation is that EMC filler of silica wears die surface roughened, which results in increase of adhesion strength. As big differences in experimental results from semiconductor manufacturers are dependent on EMC models, however, chemisorptions or acid-base interaction is apt to be also functioning as major mechanisms. In this investigation, the plasma source ion implantation (PSII) using $O_2$, $N_2$, and $CF_4$ modifies sample surface to form a new dense layer and improve surface hardness, and change metal surface condition from hydrophilic to hydrophobic and vice versa. Through surface energy quantification by measuring contact angle and surface ion coupling state analysis by Auger, major governing mechanism for sticking issue was figured out to be a complex of mechanical and chemical factors.

The organic-capped Ba-Ti-O nanolayers were coated uniformly on spherical Ni particles for multilayer ceramic capacitor (MLCC) applications via the formation of Ti-hydroxide nano-coating layers and their subsequent reaction with Ba-stearate at $180^{\circ}C$. The capping of organic shell on oxide coating layer changed the hydrophilic surface structure into hydrophobic one, which significantly improved the dispersion behavior in hydrophobic solvents such as terpineol and butanol. In addition, the uniform coating of Ba-Ti-O layer was advantageous to prevent Ni oxidation. This method provides a useful chemical route to fabricate organic-soluble Ba-Ti-O coated Ni particles for a highly integrated passive component.

In this report, high-resolution metal electrode patterning is demonstrated by using selective surface treatment and dip casting for low-cost printed electronic applications. On hydrophobic octadecyltrichlorosilane treated $SiO_2$ surface, deep UV irradiation was performed through a patterned quartz photomask to selectively control the surface energy of the $SiO_2$ layer. The deep UV irradiated region becomes hydrophilic and by dipping into Ag nano-ink, Ag patterns were formed on the surface. Using this patterning technique, line patterns and dot arrays having less than $10{\mu}m$ pitch were fabricated.

Water is known to playa crucial role on friction of moving parts in nanoscale contact. Little is, however, known about the tribological behavior of a solid surface that is covered with water adsorption layer. The objective of this study is to investigate the nanotribological behavior of the water layer in relation to water affinity of the surface and relative humidity. This paper presents an examination of the frictional behavior of water adsorption layer as 'confined liquid film'. It is shown that the friction is inversely proportional to the hydrophilicity of surface and relative humidity. On the other hand, friction of hydrophobic surface is not influenced by relative humidity. A model is proposed for the water-mediated contact in which it is shown that the water layer between two hydrophilic surfaces with high relative humidity behaves as a lubricant.

The effect of the surface area of silicas on their reinforcing performance to styrene-butadiene rubber (SBR) compounds was systematically investigated. The feasibility of the Brunauer-Emmett-Teller surface area ($S_{BET}$) as a parameter representing the characteristics of the silicas was discussed compared to the mesopore volume, c value, oil absorption, and uptake of silane. The increase in $S_{BET}$ of silicas caused a considerable increase in Mooney viscosity, minimum torque, and hysteresis loss of the silica-filled SBR compounds, while significantly enhancing their abrasion property. These changes were explained by the attrition between the hydrophilic silica surface and the hydrophobic rubber chains. As expected, the change in $S_{BET}$ did not induce any remarkable changes in the cure, processing, tensile, and dynamic properties of the silica-filled SBR compounds because the crosslinking density of the rubber chains mainly determined these properties.

This research develops an easy-to-use, environmentally friendly method for fabricating functional 1050 aluminum alloy surfaces with excellent corrosion resistance. Functional aluminum surfaces with various nanostructures are fabricated by controlling the experimental conditions of anodizing process. The experiment used a multi-step anodizing process that alternates between two different anodizing modes, mild anodizing (MA) and hard anodizing (HA), together with a pore-widening (PW) process. Among them, the nanostructured surface with a small solid fraction shows superhydrophobicity with a contact angle of more than 170° after water-repellent coating. In addition, the surface with superhydrophobicity is difficult for corrosive substances to penetrate, so the corrosion resistance is greatly improved.

본 연구에서는 VARTM 공정으로 제조되는 에폭시/아바카 패브릭 복합재의 기계적 특성을 향상 시키고자 하였다. 표면처리를 통하여 패브릭 표면의 미세 거칠기를 증가시키고 친수성을 소수성으로 변화시켜 에폭시-패브릭간 계면결합력을 증가시켜 기계적 특성을 향상 시키고자 하였다. 이를 위해 상온 상압 플라즈마 처리법을 사용하였고 기계적 특성이 향상되는 최적 처리시간을 찾고자 하였다. 플라즈마 처리 특성을 비교하기 위해 NaOH 처리법을 사용하였다. 플라즈마 10초 처리된 패브릭으로 제조된 복합재가 무처리, NaOH 처리 대비 가장 높은 인장강도를 보였으며 20초 이상 처리시 인장강도는 낮아졌다. 미세구조 분석결과 20초 이상 처리시 섬유에 생긴 미세 흠집으로 인해 인장강도가 저하됨을 알 수 있었다. 흡습 시험과 침강 시험을 통해 친수성의 아바카가 소수성의 경향을 보이는 것을 확인하였다.
