Poly(ethylene terephthalate)(PET) is one of the most widely used materials in textile industry. It can have a low cost, silk-like handle, and excellent mechanical properties. Low thermal stability of PET had been a common problem limiting its high temperature application. The polyester have been known to have the disadvantage of degradation under ionized irradiation compared to crosslikable polymers such as polyethylene, polypropylene and polystylene. To improve thermal stability of PET, the PET films were photocrosslinked by UV irradiation. A hydrogen-abstractable photoinitiator was used to photocrosslink of PET by continuous UV irradiation. Photoinitiator addition increased the gel fraction. The photocrosslinking was attributed to the recombination of PET radicals generated upon UV irradiation, which was enhanced by the hydrogen abstraction of the PET polymer chains by the added photoinitiator. Also the crosslinked PET showed higher thermal stability and mechanical strength with increasing UV energy. Polyester type films such as poly(ethylene naphthalate)(PEN) and poly(butylene terephthalte)(PBT) were also increased the gel fraction and improved thermal stability and mechanical properties by UV irradiation.

This paper describes the electron energy distribution function characteristics in $SF_6-Ar$ gas calculated for range of E/N values from $50\sim700[Td]$ by the Monte Carlo simulation(MCS) and Boltzmann equation(BE) method using a set of electron collision cross sections determined by the authors and the values of electron swarm parameters are obtained by time of flight(TOF) method. In this dissertation the results of the combined experimental and theoretical studies designed to understand and predict the spatial growth and transport coefficients for electrons in $SF_6$ and $SF_6-Ar$ mixtures have described. The ionization and attachment coefficients in pure $SF_6$ and $SF_6-Ar$ mixtures have been calculated over the range of 10$SF_6$ molecule and for Ar atom proposed by other authors. The results obtained in this work will provide valuable information on the fundamental behaviors of electrons in weakly ionized gases and the role of electron attachment in the choice of better gases and unitary gas dielectrics or electro negative components in dielectric gas mixtures.

A pilot-scale experiment for the treatment of red tide in the enclosure was done in sea area of Shandong Province, P. R. China on Aug. 25, 2002. With the method of strong dielectric barrier discharge in microgap, $O_2$in air and $H_2O$ in seawater are ionized and dissociated into large numbers of OHㆍradicals, and then dissolved into a part of seawater to form OHㆍsolution of high concentration. With OH' concentration of 0.68mg/L, the kill efficiencies of 29 kinds of red tide organisms such as Chaetoceros lorenzianus and so on reached 99.89%, in which the kill efficiencies of bacterium and vibrio were 100%, and that of Gonyaulax cysts and Prei. Cysts were up to 100%. At the same time, the content of chlorophyll-a was decreased into the lowest limit of test. DO saturation of seawater was greatly increased to 100% because the residual OHㆍradical was decomposed into $H_2O$ and $O_2$after 20 minutes, Therefore the treatment of red tide using OHㆍradicals is a kind of advanced oxidation technology, which realizes zero pollution, zero emission and zero residual in the process of the production of OHㆍradicals and the treatment of red tide.

An 80 nm thick zinc aluminate thin film was deposited on a glass substrate via radio-frequency (rf) magnetron sputtering and heat treated to analyze changes in the wetting angles due to a surface modification. The thin films were modified from hydrophilic to hydrophobic by a simple thermal treatment. The surface modification from a heat treatment increased the wetting angles up to 111°, which was explained by the relationship with the excess surface area. The wetting angles of the annealed thin films decreased with increasing exposure time under ambient conditions, which was attributed to the oxygen vacancies in the films that were introduced during deposition. The annealed thin films were treated by ionized oxygen via oxygen plasma. After the oxygen plasma treatment, the decreased wetting angles were maintained at ~95° for 11 days.

This paper describes the information for quantitative simulation of weakly ionized plasma. In previous paper, we calculated the electron transport coefficients by using two-term approximation of Boltzmann equation. But there is difference between the result of the two-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation and experiments in pure CF$_4$ molecular gas and in CF$_4$+Ar gas mixture. Therefore, In this paper, we calculated the electron drift velocity (W) in pure CF$_4$ molecular gas and CF$_4$+Ar gas mixture (1 %, 5 %, 10 %) for range of E/N values from 0.17～300 Td at the temperature was 300 K and pressure was 1 Torr by multi-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation by Robson and Ness. The results of two-term and multi-term approximation of the Boltzmann equation have been compared with each other for a range of E/N.

Porous silicon(PS) as an excellent light diffuser can be used as an antireflection layer without other antireflection coating(ARC) materials. PS layers were obtained by electrochemical etching(ECE) anodization of silicon wafers in hydrofluoric acid/ethanol/de-ionized(DI) water solution($HF/EtOH/H_2O$). This technique is based on the selective removal of Si atoms from the sample surface forming a layer of PS with adjustable optical, electrical, and mechanical properties. A PS layer with optimal ARC characteristics was obtained in charge density (Q) of 5.2 $C/cm^2$. The weighted reflectance is reduced from 33 % to 4 % in the wavelength between 400 and 1000 nm. The weighted reflectance with optimized PS layers is much less than that obtained with a commercial SiNx ARC on a potassium hydroxide(KOH) pre-textured multi-crystalline silicon(mc-Si) surface.

keV ion beam irradiatin for surface modification and thin film growth have been discussed. keV ion beam irradiation in reactive gas environment has been developed for improving wettability of polymer, and for enhancing adhesion to metal film, and adventages of the method have been reviewed. An epitaxial Cu film on Si(100) substrate has been grown by ionized cluster beam and changes of crystallinity and surface roughness have been discussed. Stoichiometric $SnO_2$ films on Si(100) and glass have been grown by a hybrid ion beam Deposition(2 metal ion sources+1 gas ion source), and nonstoichiometric $SnO_2$ films are controlled by various deposition conditions in the HIB. Surface modification for polymer by kev ion irradiation have been developed. Wetting angle of water to PC has been changed from 68 degree to 49 degree with $Ar^+$ irradiation and to 8 degree with $Ar^+$ irradiation and the oxygen environment. Change of surface phenomena in a keV ion beam and characteristics of the grown films are suggested.

Primary hyperparathyroidism (PHP) is rare in dogs. Mainly functional solitary parathyroid adenoma causes hypercalcemia due to excessive autonomous secretion of parathyroid hormone (PTH). PHP can be diagnosed based on serum calcium phosphorus, ionized calcium and PTH, and cervical ultrasound provides important information about the number size and location of parathyroidal lesion. Ultrasound guided intralesional ethanol injection has been used as an alternative to surgical treatment of PHP. In this case, PHP was diagnosed in 12 year-old Pug with clinicopathologic examination and cervical ultrasound, and the parathyroidal mass was ablated successfully through ultrasound guided ethanol injection.

Non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma, also named cold plasma, is defined as a partly ionized gas. Therefore, it cannot be equated with plasma from blood; it is not biological in nature. Non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma is a new innovative approach in medicine not only for the treatment of wounds, but with a wide-range of other applications, as e.g. topical treatment of other skin diseases with microbial involvement or treatment of cancer diseases. This review emphasizes plasma effects on wound healing. Non-thermal atmospheric-pressure plasma can support wound healing by its antiseptic effects, by stimulation of proliferation and migration of wound relating skin cells, by activation or inhibition of integrin receptors on the cell surface or by its pro-angiogenic effect. We summarize the effects of plasma on eukaryotic cells, especially on keratinocytes in terms of viability, proliferation, DNA, adhesion molecules and angiogenesis together with the role of reactive oxygen species and other components of plasma. The outcome of first clinical trials regarding wound healing is pointed out.
