The surface chemical structure of three kinds of polyethylene (PE): high density (HD) PE, low density (LD) PE and linear (L)-LDPE exposed to Ar and $O_2$ plasmas has been investigated using XPS. Oxygen was incorporated in a more increased amount for HDPE than for L-LDPE and LDPE. Ar plasma tended to incorporate more oxygen than $O_2$ plasma. The XPS valence band spectra for Ar plasma exhibited a clear peak assigned to $O_2$s character. By chemical derivatization method it was found that the amount of -COOH group at the surface was much greater than that of -OH group. The hydrophilic nature of plasma-treated PE increased in the order: LDPE

An indium-tin-oxide (ITO) is normally used as a substrate in organic photovoltaic cells. We examined the effects of an oxygen ($O_2$) plasma treatment on the electrical properties of an organic photovoltaic cell. Experiments with four-point probe method and atomic force microscope revealed the lowest surface resistance of 17.64 ${\Omega}$/sq and the lowest average surface roughness of 1.39 nm at the plasma treatment power of 250 W. A device structure of ITO/CuPc/$C_{60}$/BCP/$Cs_2CO_3$/Al was fabricated by thermal evaporation with and without the plasma treated ITO substrate. It was found that the power conversion efficiency of the cell with the plasma treated ITO is 65 % higher than the one without the plasma treated ITO.

To improve surface wettability, each sample was treated by atmospheric pressure plasma (APP) using dielectric barrier discharge (DBD) system. Argon and oxygen gases were used for treatment gas to modify the $TiO_2$ surface by APP with RF power range from 50 to 200 W. Water contact angle was decreased from $20^{\circ}$ to $10^{\circ}$ with argon only. However, water contact angle was decreased from $20^{\circ}$ to < $1^{\circ}$ with mixture of argon and oxygen. Water contact angle with $O_2$ plasma was lower than water contact angle with Ar plasma at the same RF power. It seems to be increasing the polar force of $TiO_2$ surface. Also, analysis result of X-ray photoelectron spectra (XPS) shows the increase of intensity of O1s shoulder peak, resulting in increasing of surface wettability by APP. Moreover, each water contact angle increased according to increase past time. However, contact angle increase with plasma treatment was lower than without plasma treatment. Additionally, the efficiency of $TiO_2$ photocatalyst was improved by plasma surface-treatment through the degradation experiment of phenol

This study investigated the application of experimental design methodology to optimization of conditions of air-plasma and oxygen-plasma oxidation of N, N-Dimethyl-4-nitrosoaniline (RNO). The reactions of RNO degradation were described as a function of the parameters of voltage ($X_1$), gas flow rate ($X_2$) and initial RNO concentration ($X_3$) and modeled by the use of the central composite design. In pre-test, RNO degradation of the oxygen-plasma was higher than that of the air-plasma though low voltage and gas flow rate. The application of response surface methodology (RSM) yielded the following regression equation, which is an empirical relationship between the RNO removal efficiency and test variables in a coded unit: RNO removal efficiency (%) = $86.06\;+\;5.00X_1\;+\;14.19X_2\;-\;8.08X_3\;+\;3.63X_1X_2\;-\;7.66X_2^2$ (air-plasma); RNO removal efficiency (%) = $88.06\;+\;4.18X_1\;+\;2.25X_2\;-\;4.91X_3\;+\;2.35X_1X_3\;+\;2.66X_1^2\;+\;1.72X_3^2$ (oxygen-plasma). In analysis of the main effect, air flow rate and initial RNO concentration were most important factor on RNO degradation in air-plasma and oxygen-plasma, respectively. Optimized conditions under specified range were obtained for the highest desirability at voltage 152.37 V, 135.49 V voltage and 5.79 L/min, 2.82 L/min gas flow rate and 25.65 mg/L, 34.94 mg/L initial RNO concentration for air-plasma and oxygen-plasma, respectively.

In this study, the photocurrent characteristics of plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ coatings have been investigated according to additive transition metal (Fe, Mn, Nb powder) and heat treatment conditions. The plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ coatings by heat treatment at $400^{\circ}C$ and 90 min had the higher photocurrent at ultraviolet light, no photocurrent at visible light. The photocurrent of plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ coatings added by Fe, Mn, Nb (named by plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ composite coatings) was lower than that of plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ coatings at ultraviolet light, as was low in intensity ratio of XRD(101)/(110). and the atomic percentage of oxygen by plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ composite coatings was higher than that by plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ coatings. The photocurrent of plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ composite coatings in heat treatment at $400^{\circ}C$ and 90 min was higher than that of plasma sprayed $TiO_2$ coatings in same heat treatment conditions at ultraviolet and visible light, as was high in oxygen affinity by heat treatment.

This paper was investigated the changes of surface properties of high-temperature-vulcanized(HTV) semiconductive silicone rubber due to oxygen plasma discharge. The modifications produced on the silicone surface by oxygen plasma were accessed using x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy(XPS), contact angle and Scanning Electron Microscope(SEM). The results of the chemical analysis showed that C-H bonds were broken due to plasma discharge and Silica-like bonds (SiOx. x=3~4) increased. It is thought that the above changes lead to the increase of surface energy of high-temperature-vulcanized(HTV) semiconductive silicone rubber. The micromorphology of surface and hydrophobicity due to plasma discharge based on our results were discussed.

Cu circuits were successfully fabricated on flexible PET(polyethylene terephthalate) substrates using wettability difference and electroless plating without an etching process. The wettability of Cu plating solution on PET was controlled by oxygen plasma treatment and $SiO_x$-DLC(silicon oxide containing diamond like carbon) coating by HMDSO(hexamethyldisiloxane) plasma. With an increase of the height of the nanostructures on the PET surface with the oxygen plasma treatment time, the wettability difference between the hydrophilicity and hydrophobicity increased, which allowed the etchless formation of a Cu pattern with high peel strength by selective Cu plating. When the height of the nanostructure was more than 1400 nm (60 min oxygen plasma treatment), the reduction of the critical impalement pressure with the decreasing density of the nanostructure caused the precipitation of copper in the hydrophobic region.

폴리케톤(polyketone, PK) 섬유는 고무의 강화재로 사용하기 위해서 최근 개발되고 있는 소재이다. 섬유의 고무와의 접착성을 향상시키기 위하여 플라즈마로 표면을 개질하였다. 산소 플라즈마 처리에 의한 섬유표면의 물리적 형태변화를 관찰하기 위하여 주사전자현미경과 원자현미경을 이용하여 관찰하였다. 섬유표면의 화학적 조성변화를 XPS (X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy)를 이용하여 알아보았다. 최종적으로 이러한 변화가 PK 섬유와 고무와의 계면접착력에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 microdroplet debonding 시험을 통해 분석하였다. 플라즈마 처리에 의하여 섬유표면에 산소함유기들이 증가하는 결과를 보였으며, 처리시간과 처리전력이 증가함에 따라 에칭에 의한 표면조도(RMS roughness)가 증가하였다. 그러나 장시간의 플라즈마 처리조건에서는 표면에 degradation이 발생하여 오히려 표면조도가 감소하는 결과를 보였다. PK 섬유와 고무와의 계면전단강도는 처리시간 60 s의 80 W, 처리전력 60 W의 180 s에서 처리한 경우에 최대 계면전단강도를 나타내었다. 그러나 그 이상으로 증가하면 degradation이 발생하면서 계면전단강도가 감소하였다.

In this study, the graphite/epoxy prepregs were surface-treated using oxygen plasma, and optimal treatment time was determined measuring the contact angle en the prepreg surface. Interlaminar fracture behavior of surface-treated graphite/epoxy composite was compared with that of regular (untreated) graphite/epoxy composites. The results showed that the contact angle was a minimum when treated for 30 minutes. The interlaminar fracture toughness of surface-treated specimen was improved about 15% compared with that of regular specimen.

본 연구에서는 산소 플라즈마 처리에 의한 카본블랙의 표면특성과 카본블랙/고무 복합재료의 기계적 계면물성에 대하여 고찰하였다. 산소플라즈마의 산화반응에 의한 카본블랙 표면특성은 표면산도-염기도와 제타전위, 그리고 X-ray photo-electron spectroscopy (XPS)를 통하여 알아보았으며 카본블랙/고무 복합재료의 기계적 물성은 인열에너지 ($G_{III}c$)를 측정하여 관찰하였다. 본 실험결과로부터 플라즈마 처리에 의해 카본블랙 표면에 카르복시기, 하이드록시기, 락톤, 카르보닐기와 같은 산소를 함유하는 극성관능기들이 플라즈마 처리시간이 증가함에 따라 증가하는 경향을 나타내었으며, 카본블랙 표면에 산소를 함유한 관능기와 극성고무인 NBR과 높은 상호작용으로 인해 카본블랙과 고무사이의 계면 결합력이 증가하여 카본블랙/고무 복합재료의 기계적 계면물성인 tearing energy가 증가한 것을 확인할 수 있었다.
