We have studied the I-V characteristics of polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) thin film depending on a variation of thickness. Polymer PTFE buffer layer was made using thermal evaporation technique. The device was made in the structure of ITO/PTFE/Al. We have observed the NDR(negative differential resistance) behavior between 2.5V and 5V. There are some reports on this NDR behavior in the polymer thin film[1]. We have studied the NDR behavior depending on a variation thickness. As the film thickness increased, The NDR behavior decreased and moved in low electrical field, and we have studied the conduction mechanism of PTFE thin film.

PTFE has good mechanical and chemical stability at wide temperature range, and more over, shows a low value of friction coefficient. On the other hand, it shows cold flow and high wear rate. However, these short comings can be overcome by adding various fillers. In this experiment, PTFE and polyimide powder were mixed into composite and its tribological characteristics was investigated. 100% polyimide was also tested for comparison. The countefface material was a stainless steel (SUS304). Friction and wear tester of ring-on-block type was used at room temperature and under atmosphere. After the wear test, the worn surfaces were examined by optical microscope. The test results show that PTFE-polyimide composite generates. the wear transfer film on both sides of the friction surfaces, and, the friction coefficient and the wear rates are relatively low. 100% polyimide generated little wear transfer films, showed high friction and wear rates, and also showed some problems of vibration and noise. It even damaged the stainless steel countefface. It was concluded that 100% polyimide does not generate transfer film well because its shear resistanbe is high and it stickslips, thus, friction coefficients and wear rates are high. In case of PTFE-polyimide composite, on the other hand, transfer film containing sufficient PTFE adheres and remains on both wear surfaces well enough because PTFE has low shear resistance. Polyimide particles in the composite were proved to be able to bear normal load and does not show stick-slip because they are covered with transfer film containing much PTFE.

Surface properties of polytetrafluoroethylene(PTFE) films fabricated by rf-magnetron sputtering system with UV surface treatment were investigated to increase water contact angle for their hydrophobic property. We found that the surface morphology and water contact angles of PTFE film modified as a function of the UV treatment times using UV-irradiation were influenced. The water contact angle of PTFE film with optimized UV treatment time for 15 minute showed a high hydrophobicity compared with the film without any surface treatment. We thought that it was due to the energy change of PTFE surface with an adhesion improvement to the glass surface as a smoothing a rough surface with needle-shape and/or the enhancement of an interface property as a removing some defects on the surface like a cleaning effect.

An excellent hydrophobic surface has a high contact angle over 147 degree and the contact angle hysteresis below $5^0$ was produced by using roughness combined with hydrophobic PTFE coatings, which were also confirmed to exhibit an extreme adhesion to glass substrate. To form the rough surface, the glass was etched by Ar-plasma. A very thin PTFE film was coated on the plasma etched glass surface. Roughness factors before or after PTFE coating on the plasma etched glass surface, based on Wensel's model were calculated, which agrees well with the dependence of the contact angle on the roughness factor is predicted by Wensel's model. The PTFE films deposited on glass by using a conventional rf-magnetron sputtering. The glass substrates were etched Ar-plasma prior to the deposition of PTFE. Their hydrophobicities are investigated for application as a anti-fouling coating layer on the screen of displays. It is found that the hydrophobicity of PTFE films mainly depends on the sputtering conditions, such as rf-power, Ar gas content introduced during deposition. These conditions are closely related to the deposition rate or thickness of PTFE film. Thus, it is also found that the deposition rate or the film thickness affects sensitively the geometrical morphology formed on surface of the rf-sputtered PTFE films. In particular, 1,950-nm-thick PTFE films deposited for 30 minute by rf-power 50 watt under Ar gas content of 20 sccm shows a very excellent optical transmittance and a good anti-fouling property and a good durability.

1 keV $Ar^+$ 이온빔을 이용하여 polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE)의 표면을 개질하고 그 위에 $5000\;{\AA}$의 구리 박막을 이온빔 스퍼터링법을 이용하여 증착하였다. 이온빔 조사에 의하여 PTFE의 표면에는 cone이 형성되며 cone의 높이는 이온 조사량이 증가함에 따라 점차로 증가함을 알 수 있었다. x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) 분석을 통하여 조사된 PTFE의 표면에서는 이온 조사량이 증가함에 따라 Fls peak의 강도가 감소하며 이는 F 원자의 선택적인 스퍼터링에 기인한 것으로 생각된다. 또한 이온 조사에 의해 생성된 불안정한 사슬들은 crosslinking에 의하여 새로운 C-F 계열의 결합들을 생성하였다. 이온빔 스퍼터링법에 의하여 증착된 구리 박막은 PTFE 표면의 cone을 따라 균일하게 증착되며 PTFE의 표면 거칠기가 증가함에 따라 (111) 방향으로 우선 성장함을 알 수 있었다. 증착된 구리 박막의 비저항은 개질전 PTFE의 $2.7{\mu}{\Omega}cm$에서 $1{\tiems}10^{16}/\textrm{cm}^2$의 이온 조사량으로 개질된 PTFE의 $4.3{\mu}{\Omega}cm$까지 이온 조사량에 따라 점차로 증가하였다. $1{\tiems}10^{17}/\textrm{cm}^2$의 이온 조사량으로 개질된 PTFE 위에 증착된 구리 박막의 갑작스런 비저항 증가는 구리 박막의 단락에 의한 것으로 보인다.

The polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) films are deposited on glass using conventional rf-magnetron sputtering method. Their hydrophobic properties are investigated for application as an anti-fouling coating layer on the screen of displays. It is found that the hydrophobicity of PTFE films largely depends on the sputtering conditions, such as Ar gas flow and deposition time during sputtering process. These conditions are closely related to the deposition rate or thickness of PTFE film. Thus, it is also found that the deposition rate or the film thickness affects sensitively the geometrical morphology formed on surface of the rf-spluttered PTFE films. In particular, the PTFE film with 1950 nm thickness deposited for 30 minute at rf-power 50 W shows a very excellent optical transmittance of over 90% and a good anti-fouling property and a good durability.

Porous polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) thin films are fabricated by spin-coating using a dispersion solution containing PTFE powders, and their crystalline properties are investigated after thermal annealing at various temperatures ranging from 300 to $500^{\circ}C$. Before thermal annealing, the film is densely packed and consists of many granular particles 200-300 nm in diameter. However, after thermal annealing, the film contains many voids and fibrous grains on the surface. In addition, the film thickness decreases after thermal annealing owing to evaporation of the surfactant, binder, and solvent composing the PTFE dispersion solution. The film thickness is systematically controlled from 2 to $6.5{\mu}m$ by decreasing the spin speed from 1,500 to 500 rpm. A triboelectric nanogenerator is fabricated by spin-coating PTFE thin films onto polished Cu foils, where they act as an active layer to convert mechanical energy to electrical energy. A triboelectric nanogenerator consisting of a PTFE layer and Al metal foil pair shows typical output characteristics, exhibiting positive and negative peaks during applied strain and relief cycles due to charging and discharging of electrical charge carriers. Further, the voltage and current outputs increase with increasing strain cycle owing to accumulation of electrical charge carriers during charge-discharge.

Micro/nano tribological characteristics of PTFE coating films were experimentally studied. PTFE (polytetrafluoroethylene) modified polyethylene and low molecular weight PTFE were used as a coating materials. These films were deposited on Si-wafer (100) by IBAD (ion beam assisted deposition) method. The Ar ion beam sputtering was performed to change the surface topography of films using a hollow cathode ion gun under different Ar ion dose conditions in a vacuum chamber. Micro/nano tribological characteristics, water wetting angles and roughness were measured with a micro tribotester, SPM (scanning probe microscope), contact anglemeter and profilometer, respectively. The durability of the films were measured with macro tribotester. Results showed that the PTFE coating surfaces were converted to hydrophobic. The water contact angle of coated surfaces and surface roughness increased with the coating thickness. Adhesion and friction in micro and nano scale were governed by magnitude of normal load in soft material such as PTFE films. As the increase of sputtering time on low molecular weight PTFE films, the surface roughness was increased and nano adhesion and friction were decreased. The nano tribological characteristics of surfaces are mainly improved by chemical modification such as PTFE coating and given a synergy effect by the physical modification such as topographic modification.
