Adhesion of Copper film on the aluminum oxide layer formed by anodizing an aluminum plate was enhanced by applying ion beam mixing method. Forming an conductive metal layer on the insulating oxide surface without using adhesive epoxy bonds provide metal-PCB(Printed Circuit Board) better thermal conductivities, which are crucial for high power electric device working condition. IBM (Ion beam mixing) process consists of 3 steps; a preliminary deposition of an film, ion beam bombardment, and additional deposition of film with a proper thickness for the application. For the deposition of the films, e-beam evaporation method was used and 70 KeV N-ions were applied for the ion beam bombardment in this work. Adhesions of the interfaces measured by the adhesive tape test and the pull-off test showed an enhancement with the aid of IBM and the adhesion of the ion-beam-mixed films were commercially acceptable. The mixing feature of the atoms near the interface was studied by scanning electron microscopy, Auger electron spectroscopy, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy.

This study was carried out to develop an automatic mixing system of nutrient solution for closed-loop hydroponics using ion electrodes. The results of the study are summarized as follows: 1. It appeared that ion-electrodes had not to be soaked into nutrient solution for a long time since it was much less durable than EC or PH sensors. Once ion-electrodes were soaked into real nutrient solution for a long time, they became unstable. 2. ion measurement modules, which were able to sample recirculated nutrient solution and easily wash and dry ion-electrodes, were developed in order to use ion-electrodes continuously. 3. The results of calibration tests on three kinds of ion electrodes presented that the time required to read measurement data was over 30 seconds. Using the calibration data the regression equations for the ion electrodes were developed. 4. An automatic nutrient-solution mixing system using the three kinds of ion electrodes was developed and then its accuracy was examined. The control errors of the mixing system using ion electrodes were in the range of 9.8 to 12%.

In this paper, we studied, by numerical calculation, a system, which was composed of metal-film and metal-substrate irradiated by IPIB with beam ion energy 250 keV, current density 10 to 250 A/$\textrm{cm}^2$. While the IPIB irradiation was going on, an induced effect named mixing occurred. In this case, metal-film and part of metal-substrate melted and mixed. The mixing state was kept as it was in melting phase due to the fast cooling rate. Our works were simulating the heating and cooling process via our STEIPIB program and tried to find proper parameters for a specific film-substrate system, 500 nmtitanium film coated on aluminum, to get best mixing results. The parameters calculated for such Ti-Al system were compared with the experimental results and were in good accordance to the experimental results.

The surface and interface morphology as well as the sheet resistance, and uniformity of TiSiz film are significantly improved and the lateral titanium silicide growth over the oxide spacer is minimized by the use of ion beam mixing and rapid thermal annealing in nitrogen ambient. In addition, TiSiz film formations on TiISi and TiISiOz system were also studied.

The electrolyte wetting phenomena occurring in the electrode of lithium-ion battery was studied using lattice Boltzmann method (LBM). Recently, lithium-ion batteries are being mixed with small particles on the active material to increase the capacity and energy density during the electrode design stage. The change to the mixing ratio may influence the wettability of electrolyte. In this study, the changes in electrolyte distribution and saturation were investigated according to various mixing ratios of active material. We found that the variations in mixing ratio of active material affect the wetting mechanism, and result in changes to the wetting speed and wettability of electrolyte.

Heterogeneous ion exchange membranes were prepared by mixing polyethylene as matrix with bead and fibrous anionic ion exchangers at different mixing ratio. Generally, ion exchange capacities were increased with increasing the ratio of the fibrous ion exchanger content. The highest ion exchange capacity of the membrane was 1.86 meq/g at 30wt% IXF (ion exchange fiber) in the membrane. The water uptake, fixed ion concentration, and ion transport number of the membrane increased with increasing the content of the fibrous ion exchanger. However, the electrical resistivity of the membrane was decreased with increasing the content of the fibrous ion exchanger. The lowest electrical resistivity of 5$\Omega$/$\textrm{cm}^2$ was observed at 30 wt%of IXF.

5-Hydroxymethyl-2-furaldehyde (5-HMF) is considered one of the main quality indexes of various food products. Its metabolism in humans can potentially lead to carcinogenic compounds. Metallic ions such as Zn, Mg, Mn, and Fe have been reported to enhance 5-HMF formation. Recently, studies on adsorbents that can extract specific organic and inorganic substances with one adsorbent have been conducted. However, simultaneous analysis of organic and inorganic materials typically requires distinct pre-treatment and analytical methods, which increase a lot of labor and cost. In this study, hybrid imprinted polymer (HIP) by mixing 5-HMF imprinted polymer (FIP) and zinc ion imprinted polymer (ZIIP) were generated to extract two analytes, Zn ion and 5-HMF, simultaneously. Physicochemical characterization of HIP was conducted by Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy, and sorption tests. Extraction conditions including adsorbent mixing ratio, adsorbate mixing range, and equilibrium time were optimized. Freundlich adsorption model was as the best-fitting isotherm model to elucidate the adsorption mechanism. Affinity of Zn ion and 5-HMF on HIP was superior to non-HIP. In conclusion, HIP showed reasonable feasibility that could be used as an adsorbent to be used for simultaneous extraction of organic and inorganic compounds present in the sample.
