UV-induced graft polymerization of glycidyl methacrylate (GMA) to a polypropylene (PP) membrane was carried out in the vapor phase with benzophenone (BP) as a photoinitiator. Attenuated total reflection Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy, atomic force microscopy (AFM), and scanning electron microscopy (SEM) were utilized to characterize the copolymer. The degree of grafting increased with increasing reaction time, increased UV irradiation source intensity, and increased immersion concentration of the BP solution. The optimum synthetic condition for the PP-g-GMA membrane was obtained with a reaction time of 2 hrs, a UV irradiation source intensity of 450 W, and an immersion concentration of the BP solution of 0.5 mol/L. The pure water flux decreased upon increasing the degree of grafting and increasing the amount of diethylamino functional group introduced. The analysis of AFM and SEM images shows that the graft chains and diethylamino groups of PP-g-GMA grew on the PP membrane surface, resulting in a change in surface morphology.

Apart from the deposition of alignment layer, alignment process needs to be involved for alignment of liquid crystal (LC) molecules. To simplify manufacturing process, several method were used such as rubbing, ion-beam irradiation, UV irradiation, and lithography. But, eventually it needs another treatment for LC alignment. Here, we suggested Si induced polyimide (PI) alignment layer at low temperature. Using this method, we are able to eliminate the alignment process and found that the alignment and electro-optic performance are much better than that of the rubbed PI LC cells. Compared to the rubbed PI cells, the response time was decreased by 70% and C-V characteristics have hysteresis-free.

A study on the color removal by irradiation of ${\gamma}-ray$ was carried out to reclaim the secondary effluent for the purpose of industrial water. Coagulation, ozone and ion exchange methods were compared. It could know that irradiation method was the most effective in color removal. The color was removed by 87.5% at 0.5 Mrad and it was increase with dose. High removal efficiency could be obtained in low pH and low concentration of $CO3^{-2}$. This process can be applied to the treatment of secondary effluent and is considered to be one of the most useful tertiary treatment.

In some situations, for example at very low doses, in microbeam irradiation experiments, or around high energy heavy ion tracks, use of the absorbed dose to describe the energy transferred to the irradiated target can be misleading. Since absorbed dose is the expected value of energy per mass it takes into account all of the targets which do not have any energy deposition. In many situations that results in numerical values, in Joules per kg, which are much less than the energy deposited in targets that have been crossed by a charged particle track. This can lead to confusion about the biochemical processes that lead to the consequences of irradiation. There are a few alternative approaches to describing radiation that avoid this potential confusion. Examples of specific situations that can lead to confusion are given. It is concluded that using the particle radiance spectrum and the exposure time, instead of absorbed dose, to describe these irradiations minimizes the potential for confusion about the actual nature of the energy deposition.

Irradiation of 5-styryl-1,3-dimethyluracil (5-SDU) with 2,3-dimethyl-2-butene (DMB) gives a [4+2] cycloadduct which is converted into a [2+2] cycloadduct on the prolonged irradiation. Triplet sensitization, quenching, and external heavy atom effect on the [4+2] photocycloaddition reaction demonstrate the singlet pathway and salt effect excludes a radical ion pair precursor possibility. Polar solvents increase the reaction efficiency implying a polar exciplex involvement in the [4+2] photocycloaddition reaction. Inverse temperature dependence both on the reaction and DMB fluorescence quenching of 5-SDU indicates the presence of a singlet exciplex intermediate.

Chromium material is commonly used for fusion plasma facing applications because of the low neutron activation property. The Monte Carlo method is one of the useful ways to investigate the ion-target interactions. In this study, Chromium target irradiated by protons was investigated using Monte Carlo based simulation tools. In this context, the calculations of radiation damage on Chromium material irradiated with protons at 17.9 and 22.3 MeV energies were carried out using GEANT4 and SRIM codes. Besides, the cross sections for proton interaction with Chromium target were calculated by the TALYS 1.9 code using CTM + FGM, BSFGM, and GSFM level densities. As a result, GEANT4, SRIM and TALYS 1.9 codes provide a suitable tool for the predictions of radiation damage and cross cross section with proton irradiation.

The migration of silver (Ag) in silicon carbide (SiC) and $^{110m}Ag$ through SiC of irradiated tristructural isotropic (TRISO) fuel has been studied for the past three to four decades. However, there is no satisfactory explanation for the transport mechanism of Ag in SiC. In this work, the diffusion coefficients of Ag measured and/or estimated in previous studies were reviewed, and then pre-exponential factors and activation energies from the previous experiments were evaluated using Arrhenius equation. The activation energy is $247.4kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ from Ag paste experiments between two SiC layers produced using fluidized-bed chemical vapor deposition (FBCVD), $125.3kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ from integral release experiments (annealing of irradiated TRISO fuel), $121.8kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ from fractional Ag release during irradiation of TRISO fuel in high flux reactor (HFR), and $274.8kJ{\cdot}mol^{-1}$ from Ag ion implantation experiments, respectively. The activation energy from ion implantation experiments is greater than that from Ag paste, fractional release and integral release, and the activation energy from Ag paste experiments is approximately two times greater than that from integral release experiments and fractional Ag release during the irradiation of TRISO fuel in HFR. The pre-exponential factors are also very different depending on the experimental methods and estimation. From a comparison of the pre-exponential factors and activation energies, it can be analogized that the diffusion mechanism of Ag using ion implantation experiment is different from other experiments, such as a Ag paste experiment, integral release experiments, and heating experiments after irradiating TRISO fuel in HFR. However, the results of this work do not support the long held assumption that Ag release from FBCVD-SiC, used for the coating layer in TRISO fuel, is dominated by grain boundary diffusion. In order to understand in detail the transport mechanism of Ag through the coating layer, FBCVD-SiC in TRISO fuel, a microstructural change caused by neutron irradiation during operation has to be fully considered.

최근 지구온난화 심화와 환경재난 등으로 석유유래 플라스틱의 분해에 대한 관심이 높아지고 있다. 플라스틱의 분해를 촉진하는 산화촉진제로 ferric ion(Fe²⁺)을 농도별로 첨가하여 필름을 제조하였다. 대조군으로 LLDPE필름과 산화촉진제를 농도별로 첨가한 필름에 UV를 시간별로 조사하여 인장강도, 신장율과 분자량변화를 조사하였다. 수지에 ferric ion 첨가량이 많아질수록 물성저하가 컸으며, 분자량 변화도 큰 것으로 나타났다. 인장강도는 대조군에 비해 산화촉진제 첨가필름이 조사시간 100시간 후 부터는 현저하게 저하되었으며, 이러한 현상은 신장율에서도 비슷한 것으로 나타났다. 분자량은 산화촉진제 첨가에 따른 결과로 UV 조사 50시간 후 63.6%, 100시간 후에는 73.8% 분자량이 감소한 것으로 나타났다. 이상의 결과에서 플라스틱 필름에 산화촉진제인 ferric ion(Fe²⁺)을 첨가함에 따라서 필름의 강도와 분자량이 저하되는 결과와 김 등 등의 보고를 바탕으로 필름의 분자량이 저하되면 그만큼 필름이 분해되고 있다고 판단할 수 있을 것으로 사료되었다.

ME-ARE법에 의해 합성된 c-BN 박막의 초기성장층 및 이의 계면구조를 개선하고 밀착력을 향상 시키고자 후처리로서 질소이온을 주입$(PSII-N^+)$하였다. 이온 주입량이 c-BN 박막의 미세구조, 계면구조에 미치는 영향에 대하여 조사하였으며 이와 함께 박막의 경도 및 박리특성에 미치는 효과를 고찰하였다. 질소이온 주입시 약 $5.0{\times}10_15atoms/cm^2$ 이상의 주입량에서부터 IR스펙트럼의 변화가 보이기 시작하였으며 $5.0{\times}10_16atoms/cm^2$ 이상의 주입량 이상에서부터 급격한 c-BN$c-BN{\to}h-BN$상전환이 일어났다. HRTEM관찰 결과, 이온주입에 의해 $sp^2$ 결합을 하고 있는 취약한 초기성장층의 결정구조 개선을 확인할 수 있었으며 이온주입된 박막의 경도 및 박리거동을 비교하여 이온주입 및 주입량에 따른 경도 및 박리 상관관계를 설명하였다.
