Poly(phenylene sulfide)(PPS)는 내열성 및 내화학성이 뛰어난 고분자 소재로, 대표적인 엔지니어링 플라스틱 중 하나이다. PPS는 벤젠 링에 황원자가 파라 치환 형태로 교대로 존재하는 결정성 고분자이며, 다른 대부분의 고성능 섬유고분자가 용융되지 않는 것과는 달리 용융되는 열가소성 소재이다. PPS는 높은 내약품성과 열에 대한 장기적인 안정성을 나타내고, 방염제 첨가 없이도 방염화가 가능하며, 전기 절연성이 뛰어나고, 형태안정성도 우수하다. 또한 $200^{\circ}C$ 이하에서는 어떤 용매에도 용해되지 않으며, $200^{\circ}C$ 이상에서도 몇 가지 방향족 화합물에만 제한된 범위 내에서 용해되는 우수한 내약품성을 나타낸다. PPS의 내열성을 더욱 우수하게 하기 위해 고분자 사슬을 가교할 수 있다. 가교에는 열처리 또는 감마선, 전자선, 자외선 조사를 이용할 수 있는데 열에 의한 가교는 균일한 열전달과 고온이 필요하며 감마선 및 전자선 조사는 설비의 고비용과 방사선 노출 위험으로 인해 비친환경적이다. 반면에 자외선 조사법은 다루기 쉽고 비용이 적게 들고 친환경적인 장점을 가진다. 본 연구에서는 PPS film의 열안정성을 향상시키기 위해 자외선 조사를 이용하여 PPS film의 광가교를 수행하였다.

The interface between the surface of a cathode material and the electrolyte gives rise to surface reactions such as solid electrolyte interface (SEI) and chemical side reactions. These reactions lead to increased surface resistance and charge transfer resistance. It is consequently necessary to improve the electrochemical characteristics by suppressing these reactions. In order to suppress unnecessary surface reactions, we coated cathode material using polypropylene (PP). The PP coating layer effectively reduced the SEI film that is generated after a 4.3 V initial charging process. By mitigating the formation of the SEI film, the PP-coated Li[(Ni_0.6Co_0.1Mn_0.3)_0.36(Ni_0.80Co_0.15Al0.05)_0.64)]O₂(NCS) electrode provided enhanced transport of Li⁺ ions due to reduced SEI resistance (R_SEI) and charge transfer resistance (R_ct). The initial charge and discharge efficiency of the PP-coated NCS electrode was 96.2 % at a current density of 17 mA/g in a voltage range of 3.0 ~ 4.3 V, whereas the efficiency of the NCS electrode was only 94.7 %. The presence of the protective PP layer on the cathode improved the thermal stability by reducing the generated heat, and this was confirmed via DSC analysis by an increased exothermic peak.

In this research, an organic thin 13 passivation layer was newly adopted to prefect the organic layer from ambient moisture and oxygen. As the organic thin film passivation layer, poly methyl methacrylate thin films (ppMMA) were deposited using a plasma polymerization technique. In order to their passivation performance for OLEDs, water vapor transmission rate (WVTR) of the ppMMAs were analyzed and luminance-current-voltage (L-I-V)/luminance-time (L-T) characteristics of the OLEDs with and without ppMMA passivation layer were investigated. The OLEDs had a structure of ITO/TPD (HTL)/Alq3(EML&ETL)/Al. The OLED with ppMMA passivation layer showed improved L-T performance than that of without ppMMA passivation layer.

Commercially produced 'baby leaves' of Brassica campestris var. narinosa (Chinese cabbage) were used in the present study. Baby leaf vegetables were sown on 128 cell plug trays and harvested 30 days after sowing. For mechanical stress experiments, seedlings were thinned to three per cell, selected for uniformity, and watered at the base. Trays were treated with mechanical stress by stroking back and forth 50 times, using a sheet of A4 paper folded to double thickness. Plants were treated between 12:00 and 14:00 daily for 15-20 days. Harvested baby leaf vegetables were packed in MAP salad bags made of P-plus film, $50{\mu}m$ polypropylene (PP) film, and polyethylene terephthalate (PET) boxes. Fresh weight was well-maintained under P-plus and PP film on storage at $8^{\circ}C$. However, loss of fresh weight occurred quickly in PET boxes, and vegetable quality deteriorated rapidly. Stressed leaves were smaller but thicker, with an increased dry weight ratio. We thus suggest that P-plus or PP film is most appropriate packing for marketing of baby leaf vegetables, which should be stored at $8^{\circ}C$. Our data on baby leaf vegetables also make a significant new contribution in that we demonstrate a positive effect of stress touching on baby leaf processability.

The x-ray transmission anode Ag-target tube was developed to apply for the thickness measurement of film in the thickness range of several tens$\sim$several hundreds ${\mu}m$ and its characteristics were evaluated. The energy distribution and dose of x-ray from Ag-target tube was investigated at the tube voltage near 10 kV, and discussed in comparition with that from W-target tube. The energy distribution and dose of x-rays passing through film were measured with various thickness of Ny and PP film. From these results, it was confirmed that our x-ray tube can be applied for the thickness measurement of film.

Inappropriate storage of fresh-cut onions may result in losses of good quality. To understand storage conditions for shelf-life and quality of fresh-cut onions, The effect of packing type and storage temperature on the quality of fresh-cut onions was evaluated. Onions stored at $0^{\circ}C$ for 2 months were peeled off after removing root and shoot parts. Each three peeled onions were packed in a polyethylene film (PE, $50{\mu}m$) or in a polyethylene/polypropylene film (PE/PP, $100{\mu}m$) with vacuum treatment (70 cmHg) and stored at different temperatures (4, and $10^{\circ}C$) for 21 days. The following analyses were examined to evaluate the quality of fresh-cut onions: microbial population, surface color, titratable acidity and pH, respiration rate, and sensory quality. Fresh-cut onions stored at $4^{\circ}C$ showed less aerobic and coliform bacterial population than those stored at $10^{\circ}C$ during observation periods. Fungal populations of fresh-cut onions packed in PE film stored at $10^{\circ}C$ increased significantly after 13 days. E. coli was not detected in all treatments during whole storage periods. Surface colors of fresh-cut onions were not affected by packing type and storage temperature, however, color difference (${\Delta}E$) of fresh-cut onions in PE/PP film stored at $10^{\circ}C$ was significantly higher than those of other treatments. Titratable acidity of fresh-cut onions was not affected by packing type and storage temperature. However, pH of fresh-cut onions packed in PE film stored at $10^{\circ}C$ increased gradually over the whole storage period. Fresh-cut onions packed in PE film showed higher $CO_2$ and less $O_2$ concentrations at $10^{\circ}C$ than those at $4^{\circ}C$. The sensory quality of fresh-cut onions was significantly affected by packing type and storage temperature after 13 days. Particularly, vacuum treatment in PE/PP film showed better sensory quality than that of PE film package at the same storage temperature. It was concluded that vacuum treatment and storage at $4^{\circ}C$ could be effective to prolong the quality of fresh-cut onions up to 21 days.

Electrical and mechanical properties of polymer sheet at cryogenic temperature have been investigated. Tensile stress(and strain at break) in liquid nitrogen(77K) of 79.7MPa(l.2%) and 117.4MPa(2.05%) are evaluated for films of Polypropylene (PP) and Kapton, respectively. Dielectric loss tangent(tan .delta.) of PP and Kapton films is almost independent of the frequency and tensile stress. Also, field strength of PP film at 77K decreases with increasing the tensile stress.

We have investigated a method to measure the refractive index, coherence length, and the third order nonlinear optical susceptibility ($x^{(3)}$) of the conducting polymer film. ($x^{(3)}$) of polymer film was obtained, by comparing Maker fringe of polymer film with that of fused quartz, and by calculating the correction factor due to the linear refractive index. The linear refractive index of polymer film was determined from the envelopes of the maxima and minima in the transmission spectrum. Poly ((1,4-phenylenevinylene$)_{0.34}$-co-(2-methoxy-1,4-phen ylene vinylene$)_{0.66}$) [PP$V_{0.34}$-PMP$V_{0.66}$] thin film was prepared by spin coating method. From transmission spectrum and Maker fringe data, we found that the refractive index, coherence length, and the third order nonlinear optical susceptibility ($x^{(3)}$) of the [PP$V_{0.34}$-PMP$V_{0.66}$] are 1.786, 17.86 ${\mu}m$ and 5.8${\times}10^{-12}$esu, respectively.

Hydrophobic thin films are variously applicable for encapsulation of organic devices and water repulsive glass, etc. In this work, the stability of hydrophobic characteristics of plasma polymerized tetrakis (trimethylsilyloxy) silane (ppTTMSS) thin films were investigated. The films were deposited with plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) on the glass. The deposition plasma power and deposition pressure was 70 W and 600 mTorr, respectively. Thereafter, deposited films were treated by 248nm KrF excimer laser. Stability of hydrophobic properties of plasma polymerized tetrakis(trimethylsilyloxy)silane film surface was tested by excimer laser irradiation, which is thought to simulate severe outdoor conditions. Excimer laser irradiation cycles changed from 10 to 200 cycles. The chemical structure and hydrophobicity of ppTTMSS films were analyzed by using Fourier transform infrared (FTIR) spectroscopy and water contact angle (WCA) measurement, respectively. Absorption spectra peaks and WCA of excimer laser treated ppTTMSS films did not change notably. These results show that our ppTTMSS films possess stable hydrophobic properties.
