OLED 소자는 수분과 산소의 침투에 의하여 유기물이 열화되어 수명이 감소하는 문제점을 가지고 있다. 이러한 문제점을 해결하기 위해서 OLED 소자의 봉지 기술이 최근 연구되고 있다. 현재 유리나 금속 용기를 이용하여 캡슐화 하는 방법이 널리 사용되고 있지만 이러한 방법으로는 유연한(flexible) 소자의 구현이 어렵기 때문에 이를 대체할 수 있는 기술들이 연구되고 있다. 박막 필름을 이용한 OLED의 봉지 기술은 유연한 디스플레이에 적용할 수 있는 기술로 사용될 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 치밀하고 결함이 없는 패시베이션(passivation) 박막을 형성하기 위해서 상온에서 증착이 가능한 PECVD를 이용한 무기 박막 증착 방법을 개발하고 증착 조건과 구조에 따른 OLED의 특성 변화를 분석하였다. 하나의 시스템에서 in-situ로 패시베이션할 수 있는 시스템 및 공정을 구축하였으며 단일 무기 박막의 WVTR(Water Vapor Transmission Rate) 값을 $1{\times}10^{-2}g/m^2{\cdot}day$ 이하로 확보하였고 제작된 박막을 패시베이션막으로 유연한 디스플레이에 적용할 수 있는 가능성을 제시하였다.

A Polypropylene (PP) film was ablated using a femtosecond laser with a center wavelength of 785 nm, a pulse width of 184 fs and a repetition rate of 1 kHz. Increments of both pulse energy and the shot number of pulses lead to co-occurrence of photochemical and thermal effect, demonstrated by the spatial expansion of rim on the surface of PP. The shapes of the laser-ablated PP films were imaged by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) and measured a 3D optical measurement system (NanoFocus). And, the oxygen transmission rate (ORT) of periodically laser-ablated PP film were characterized by oxygen permeability tester for modified atmosphere packaging (MAP) of fresh fruit and vegetable. Our results demonstrate that femtosecond pulsed laser is efficient tools for breathable packaging films in modifying the flow of air and gas into and out of a fresh produce container, where the micropatterns are specifically tailored in size, location and number which are easily controlled by laser pulse energy and pulse patterning system.

Flexible Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) displays are required for future devices. It is possible that plastic substrates are instead of glass substrates. But the plastic substrates are permeable to moisture and oxygen. This weak point can cause the degradation of fabricated flexible devices; therefore, encapsulation process for flexible substrate is needed to protect organic devices from moisture and oxygen. Y.G. Lee et al.(2009) [1] reported organic and inorganic multilayer structure as an encapsulation barrier for enhanced reliability and life-time.Flowable Oxide process is a low-temperature process which shows the excellent gap-fill characteristics and high deposition rate. Besides, planarization is expected by covering dust smoothly on the substrate surface. So, in this research, Bi-layer structured is used for encapsulation: Flowable Oxide Thin film by PECVD process and Al2O3 thin film by ALD process. The samples were analyzed by water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) using the Calcium test and film cross section images were obtained by FE-SEM.

Gas barrier coating from dense thin film deposition has been one of the important applications such as food-packaging and organic display. Especially for food-packaging, plastic container has been widely used due to its low price and high through-put in mass production. However, the plastic container with low surface energy like polypropylene (PP) has been limited to apply gas barrier coating. That is because a gas barrier coating could not adhere to PP due to its too low surface energy and high porosity of PP. In this research, we applied carbon coating consisting of Si and O as an interlayer between silicon oxide (SiOx) and PP. A carbon layer was found to provide better adhesion, which was experimentally proved by oxygen transmission rate (OTR) and SEM images. However, we also found that there is a limitation in the maximum thickness of a carbon layer and SiOx film due to their high stress level. For this conflict, we obtain the optimal thickness of a carbon layer and SiOx film showing optimal gas barrier property.

The influence of oxygen concentration and CO$_{2}$ as diluent in oxidizer side on soot characteristics was studied by Laser Induced Incandescence, Time Resolved LII and Transmission Electron Microscopy photography in non-premixed co flowing flames. Through the comparison of TEM photographs and the decay rate of LII signal, suitable two delay times of TIRE-LII method and signal sensitivity ($\Delta$S$_{TIRE-LII/) were determined. The effects of O$_{2}$ and CO$_{2}$ as diluent in oxidizer side on soot formation are investigated with these calibrated techniques. The O$_{2}$+CO$_{2}$, N$_{2}$, and [Ar+CO$_{2}$] mixture in co-flow were used to isolate CO2 effects systematically. The number concentration of primary particle and soot volume fraction abruptly decrease by the addition of CO$_{2}$ to the co-flow. This suppression is resulted from the short residence time in inception region because of the late nucleation and the decrease of surface growth distance by the low flame temperature due to the higher thermal capacity and the chemical change of CO$_{2}$ including thermal dissociation. As the oxygen concentration increases, the number concentration of soot particles at the inception region increases and thus this increase of nucleation enhances the growth of soot particle.

The aim of this study was to determine suitable oxygen transmission rate (OTR) films for modified atmosphere (MA) storage of asparagus spears (Asparagus officinalis L.), and to examine the related changes in asparagus spear quality. Asparagus spears were packed with 10,000, 20,000, 40,000, 70,000, and $100,000cc/m^2{\cdot}day{\cdot}atm$ OTR film treatments for MA storage, and perforated film (conventional storage) was used as the control. The fresh weight loss rate was less than 1% in all OTR film treatments but not in the control. In all OTR film treatments, ethylene content rapidly increased on the first day of storage, and gradually decreased thereafter to $2.0{\mu}L{\cdot}L^{-1}$ by the final storage day. In the 10,000 cc and 20,000 cc OTR film treatments, carbon dioxide content was maintained within the permissible range for asparagus spears under recommended controlled atmosphere (CA) and MA conditions (5-12%). The oxygen content was maintained between 12% and 20% in all OTR film treatments. Hue angles and total chlorophyll content were highest in the 10,000 cc OTR film treatment in both tips and stems. Visual quality was maintained at a saleable level only in the 10,000 cc OTR film treatment until the final storage day (25 days). Based on sensory evaluation, the least off-odor was detected in the 10,000 cc OTR film treatment, and the most in the control treatment. While the soluble solids content decreased with all film treatments, it was maintained at the highest level in the 10,000 cc OTR film treatment. Vitamin C content decreased with all film treatments during storage, but was maintained at higher levels in the 10,000, 20,000, and 40,000 cc OTR film treatments. The firmness of tips and stems increased with storage duration in all film treatments, stems were firmer under the perforated film, 10,000, and 20,000 cc OTR film treatments. Given these results, the 10,000 cc OTR film treatment is considered the most appropriate for MA asparagus spear storage since visual quality and soluble solids content were maintained, and fresh weight loss, vitamin C content, off-odor, and yellowing were suppressed during storage.

The purpose of this study was to develop a recycling system for ozone off-gas. Although the ozone transmission rate of the injector method differs slightly depending on the ozone injection rate, it reaches approximately 99%, which is very high. During the increase in water inflow to the ozone recycling system from 2 L/min to 10 L/min, the average ozone recycling rate was 99.4% at a 1 ppm ozone injection rate, 98.6% at a 2 ppm ozone injection rate, 98.1% at a 3 ppm ozone injection rate. Ozone treatment facility operating costs can be divided into the costs of pure oxygen production, ozone production, and maintenance. The annual operating costs of ozone treatment facilities in Korea are estimated to be approximately 38.9 billion won. The annual savings are estimated to be approximately 5.8 billion won when the ozone transfer rate of the diffuser method, which is mostly employed in domestic water treatment plants, is 85% and 15% of the ozone is recycled.

콜라비의 선도유지를 위한 적정 MA 포장재를 구명하기 위해 품질과 비타민 C 함량에 있어서의 MA 포장의 영향을 조사하였다. 콜라비의 저장수명을 연장하기 위한 MA 포장재는 $50{\mu}m$ PE와 OPP에 산소투과율(OTR) 3,000, 10,000, $15,000mL/m^2/day/atm$으로 조성된 필름을 사용하였다. 산소투과율을 조정한 포장재들이 콜라비의 중량 손실과 부패를 지연하고 저장 기간을 연장하는 효과가 있었다. 특히, OTR 3000 포장은 상온저장기간 동안 이상적인 가스 조성인 3.2-6.7kPa $O_2$ + 13.1-19.8kPa $CO_2$을 유지했으며, 이 포장재로 저장된 콜라비가 가장 낮은 중량감소율과 높은 외관지수를 보였다. $50{\mu}m$ PE 포장은 부패와 이취가 저장말기로 갈수록 급속히 발생하였다. 콜라비를 저온저장 할 경우에는 MA 포장간의 외관 품질에서의 유의적 차이는 나타나지 않았다. 콜라비의 비타민 C 함량은 상온 및 저온저장기간 동안 높은 투기율을 가진 OTR 15000 포장이 손실이 가장 컸고, $50{\mu}m$ PE와 OTR 3000 포장이 손실이 낮았다. 본 연구결과, OPP 필름에 OTR 3000으로 조성된 포장재를 사용하는 것이 콜라비의 품질과 비타민 C 함량 유지를 수반한 저장 수명 연장에 가장 효과적인 것으로 밝혀졌다.
