In this study, we investigate the effects of corona-discharge pre-treatment on the properties of carbon nanotubes (CNTs) which are used as flexible transparent electrodes. The CNTs are deposited on PET (polyethylene terephthalate) substrates using a spray coating method. Prior to the deposition of CNTs, the PET substrates are corona-treated by varying the feeding directions of the PET substrate and the numbers of treatments. The variations in the surface morphologies and roughnesses of the PET substrates due to corona-treatment are characterized via atomic force microscopy (AFM). Dynamic contact angles (DCAs) of the corona-treated PET substrates are measured and analyzed as functions of the treatment conditions. Also, the sheet resistances and visible-range transmittances of the CNTs deposited on PET substrates are measured before and after bending test. The experimental results obtained in this study provide strong evidences that the adhesive forces between CNTs and PET substrates can be substantially enhanced by corona-discharge pretreatment.

타이어 코드용 강철선을 RF 플라즈마를 이용한 acetylene 및 butadiene 가스의 플라즈마 중합으로 코팅하였으며, 타이어용 고무와의 접착력을 TCAT 또는 T-test로 측정하였다. 강철선의 접착력은 사용된 gas, plasma power, 코팅시간 및 가스 압력에 따라 측정하였으며, 플라즈마 중합에 앞서 Ar 플라즈마 에칭으로 타이어 코드를 세척하였다. 또한 $80^{\circ}C$의 증류수에서 7일간 노화시켜 접착력 저하를 고찰하였으며, 접착력 시험 후 타이어 코드 표면을 SEM으로 분석하여 파괴거동을 규명하고자 하였다. 가장 우수한 접착력은 acetylene의 경우 20W, 2분, 25mtorr에서, 그리고 butadiene의 경우는 l0W, 4분, 25mtorr에서 얻을 수 있었으며, Ar 에칭에 의한 접착력 변화는 없었다. 노화에 의한 접착력 저하는 없었으며, 도리어 증가하는 현상을 보였다. SEM 분석에서 강철선의 높은 거칠기와 플라즈마 코팅의 얇은 두께로 인하여 파괴거동 규명에는 한계가 있었다.

To investigate the influence of temperature on the TiN film, it was deposited on the STC-3 steel and Si-wafer from $TiCl_4/N_2/H_2$ gas mixture by using the radio frequency plasma assisted chemical vapor deposition. The deposition was performed at temperature of $400^{\circ}C-500^{\circ}C$. The results showed that crystalline TiN film was deposited over $480^{\circ}C$, and all specimens showed the crystalline TiN X-ray diffraction peaks after vacuum heat treatment for 3 hrs, at $1000^{\circ}C$, $10^{-5}torr$. While the film thickness was increased above $480^{\circ}C$, it was decreased under $480^{\circ}C$ as temperature increased. And the contents of titanium were increased and it of chlorine were decreased as temperature increased. Because temperature increase was attributed to the increase in the density of TiN film, surface hardness of TiN film was increased with temperature.

A polymer electrolyte membrane (PEM) fuel cell has been getting large interest as a typical issue in useful applications. The PEMFC is composed of a membrane, catalyst and the bipolar plate. SnOx:F films on SUS316 stainless steel were prepared as a function of substrate with using electron cyclotron resonance-metal organic chemical vapor deposition (ECR-MOCVD) in order to achieve the corrosion-resistant and low contact resistance bipolar plates for PEM fuel cells. The SnOx:F films coated on SUS316 substrate at surface plasma treatment for excellent stability, before/after heat treatment for good crystalline structure and microwave power for were characterized by X-ray diffraction (XRD), auger electron microscopy (AES) and field emission-scanning electron microscopy (FE-SEM). The SnOx:F film coated on SUS316 substrate with various process parameters were able to observe optimum interfacial contact resistance (ICR) and corrosion resistance. It can be concluded that fluorine-doping content plays an important function in electrical property and characteristic of corrosion-protective film.

Multi-walled carbon nanotubes (MWNTs) produced by chemical vapor deposition were treated with acidic solution for purification and oxidization of CNTs. The surface modification of the oxidized CNTs was achieved by amine treatment and oxygen plasma treatment. The functionalized CNTs were embedded in the epoxy resin by sonication method and the resulting composite was investigated by FESEM. Rheological and mechanical properties of nanocomposites were measured by AR2000 and Instron. The rheological properties and dispersion of modified CNTs/epoxy composites were improved as CNTs were modified, because the modification of CNTs led to a improvement interaction between the CNTs and the epoxy resin. In addition to this, mechanical properties are also improved because of the effective stress transfer between the CNTs and the polymer.

The planarization of rough polycrystalline diamond films synthesized by DC arc discharge plasma jet CVD (chemical vapor deposition) was attempted using KrF excimer laser pulses. The effects of laser incidence angle and reaction gases (ozone and oxygen) on etching rate of diamond were studied. The temperature change of diamond and graphite with different laser fluences was calculated by computer simulation to explain the etching behavior of diamond films. The threshold energy density from the experiment for etching of pure crystalline diamond was about $1.7J/cm^2$ and fairly matched the simulation value. Preferential etching of a particular crystallographic plane was observed through scanning electron microscopy. The etching rate of diamond with ozone was lower than that with oxygen. When the angle of incidence was $80^{\circ}$ to the diamond surface normal, the peak-to-valley surface roughness was Significantly reduced from $20{\mu}m$ to $0.5{\mu}m$.

Red color light emitting diodes were fabricated using CdSe/CdS/ZnS quantum dots (QDs). Patterned indium-tin-oxide (ITO) was used as a transparent anode, and oxygen plasma treatment on a surface of ITO was performed. Poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene):poly(styrenesulfonate) (PEDOT:PSS) was spin coated on the ITO surface as a hole injection layer. Then CdSe/CdS/ZnS QDs was spin coated and thermal treatment was performed for the cross-linking of QDs. TiO2 was coated on the QDs as an electron transport layer, and 150 nm of aluminum cathode was formed using thermal evaporator and shadow mask. The device shows a pure red color emission at 606 nm wavelength. Device characteristics will be presented in detail.

In this study, effects of ICP (inductively coupled plasma) treatment on PAR thin film have been investigated. A maximum etch rate of the PAR thin films and the selectivity of PAR to PR were obtained as 110 nm/minand 1.1 in the $CF_4/O_2$ (5:15 sccm) gas mixture. We present the surface properties of PAR thin film with various treatment conditions. The surface morphology and cross section of the PAR thin film was observed by AFM (atomic force microscopy) and FE-SEM (filed emission scanning electron microscopy).

Two-dimensional poly(dimethylsiloxane) (PDMS) films with wavy patterns were studied in order to investigate reversible and irreversible wetting effects. Pre-strained, surface oxidized layers of PDMS were used to form relieved wavy geometries, on which hydrophobic functionalization was carried out in order to produce irreversible wetting effects. Wavy-patterned PDMS films showed time-dependent reversible wetting effects. The degree of surface wettability could be tuned by the choice of wavy groove geometries. And the groove geometries were controlled via $O_2$ plasma treatment and mechanical pre-straining. The pre-strained, buckled PDMS films were applied to the fabrication of hydrophobic polystyrene nano-patterns using colloidal self-assembly, where the colloids were arrayed in two-dimensional way. The wavy polystyrene films were found to be more hydrophobic relative to flat polystyrene films. The grooving methodology used in this study could be applied to enhancing the hydrophobicity of other types of polymeric thin films, eliminating the need for chemical treatment.

폴리이미드 필름과 구리의 접착력을 향상시키기 위하여 이온빔과 실란-이미다졸 커플링제를 사용하여 폴리이미드 표면개질을 실시하였다. 실란-이미다졸 커플링제는 구리와의 배위결합을 형성하는 이미다졸 그룹과 실록산 폴리머를 형성하는 메톡시 실란 그룹을 함유한다. 폴리이미드 필름표면은 아르곤/산소 이온빔으로 일차로 처리하여 친수성을 높인 폴리이미드 필름에 커플링제 수용액에 침지하여 폴리이미드 필름 표면에 커플링제를 그라프트시켜 표면개질을 실시하였다. XPS 스펙트럼 분석결과 아르곤/산소 플라즈마 처리는 폴리이미드 표면에 하이드록시 및 카르보닐 그룹과 같은 산소 기능성기를 형성함을 알 수 있었고 폴리이미드 필름 표면에 실란-이미다졸과의 커플링반응에 의하여 표면이 개질되었음을 확인하였다. 이온빔을 사용하여 그라프트된 폴리이미드 필름과 구리와의 접착력은 처리되지 않은 폴리이미드 필름과의 접착력 보다 높은 접착력을 나타내었다. 또한 커플링제로 그라프트된 폴리이미드 필름의 접착력 보다 아르곤/산소의 양자화 이온을 이용하여 개질한 그라프트된 폴리이미드 필름의 시편이 더 높은 접착력을 나타내었다. 구리-폴리이미드 필름의 계면으로부터 박리된 층은 분석결과 완전히 서로 다른 화학적 조성을 나타내었는데 이것으로부터 박리가 접합면의 커플링제 내에서 일어나는 것보다는 폴리이미드와 커플링제의 사이에서 일어남을 확인하였다.
