Electrically conductive composites have been prepared by treating fabrics with oxidizing agent and exposing them to aniline, which deposited a substantial amount of conductive polymer within the interstices of the material. However the conductivity of the composite fabrics was limited by the irregular deposition of the conductive polymer layer. To improve the conductivity of polyaniline/nylon 6 composite fabrics, we modified the surface characteristics of nylon 6 fabrics by various plasma treatments and increased diffusion and adsorption of aniline by ultrasonic treatments. By the oxygen plasma treatment, attachment of functional groups such as C-O and C-OH increased on the surface of nylon 6 fiber, which promoted adhesion to polyaniline resulting in the higher add-on and electrical conductivity. Electrical conductivities of polyaniline/nylon 6 composite fabrics were highly increased by ultrasonic treatment, which assisted the diffusion of aniline into the inside of nylon fabrics by cavitation and vibration. Also, the effects of monomer concentration and the number of deposition cycles on the nylon 6 fabric conductivity Were investigated. As a result, the fabric conductivity increased with the monomer concentration and the number of polymerization deposition cycles.

유기발광 소자의 전공 수송층 재료로 많이 쓰이고 있는 N,N'-diphenyl-N,N'-(3-methylphenyl)-1,1'-biphenyl-4-4'-diamine(TPD)는 OLED소자가 연속적으로 작동하게 되면 TPD박막이 결정화되는데, 이러한 결정화는 디스플래이 소자에 dark spot(흑점)의 문제점을 가져왔다. 이러한 원인을 제거하기 위해서 ITO위에 PolyThiophene을 완충층으로 제작함으로써, OLED 소자의 효율에 미치는 영향은 크다고 할수 있다. 자체 제작한 플라즈마 중합장치의 중합조건과 중합체 PolyThiophene의 분자구조를 알아보았다.

유기물 중에서 광기능성을 가지는 벤젠, 비닐 피리딘 및 스티렌 단량체를 채택하였다. 내정전결합 유동가스형 중합장치를 사용하여 플라즈마 박막을 제조하였으며 이들의 광학특성을 분석하였다. 중합시간, 압력 및 단량체 유량을 일정하게 유지하고 방전전력을 증가시키면 스티렌 박막의 중합률은 선형적으로 증가하나 벤젠 및 비닐 피리딘 박막의 증합률은 비선형적으로 증가한다. 그리고 파장이 변화에 따른 굴절률은 1.55~1.65 정도를 나타냈다. 박막의 굴절률은 방전전력의 증가에 따라 감소하게 된다. 또한 굴절률의 변화에 대한 소멸계수(K)의 계산이 $10^{-3}$정도의 범위에 있으므로 측정 결과가 타당함을 알 수 있다.

Polyethylene was modified with silanol groups on its surface by photografting of vinyltrimethoxysilane in vapor phase by using benzophenon as a polymerization initiator and by hydrolyzing the methoxysilane groups into the silanol groups with HCI solution. The modified polyethylene formed a dense and homogeneous apatite layer on its surface in a solution with ion concentrations 1.5 times those of human blood plasma within 21 days. This kind of biomimetic process could provide techniques for fabricating apatite-polymer composites with three dimensional structure analogous to the natural bone.

A deposition rate of styrene thin films is linearly increased, but one of benzene thin films is nonlinearly increased with increasing discharge power under maintaining a polymerization time, pressure and monomer flow rate. And, the reduction of transmittance at shortwave is larger than that of transmittance at longwave. The refractive index with wavelength is various from 1.55 to 1.65. The refractive index of their thin films is decreased with increasing discharge power. Also, it is known that measured results are valid because the calculation of the extinction coefficient is about $10^3$ within variation of refractive index.

Ultra-thin polymer films containing cobalt(II) meso-tetraphenylporphyrin(CoTPP) have been prepared by vacuum codeposition of the metal complex and trans-2-butene as an organic monomer using an inductively coupled RF glow discharge operating at 7-9 Watts. The polymer films were characterized by sorption measurements. Sorption data obtained for polymer films containing CoTPP indicate that the CoTPP molecules are capable of reversibly binding oxygen molecules. It was found that the adjacent CoTPP molecules in the aggregated metal complex phase could irreversibly share the oxygen molecules. A dispersion of the metal complex molecules in the polymer matrix was made to maintain the reversible reactivity of the metal complex molecules with oxygen in the polymer films via vacuum evaporation process. The Henry mode solubility constant, the Langmuir mode capacity constant, the amount of binding oxygen, and the dissociation equilibrium in the dual mode sorption theory were discussed.

This study reports the fluidic handling method using hydrophobic patterns inside PDMS microchannels. In order to obtain hydrophobic patterns, we pattern fluorcarbon(FC) film surfaces by lift-off process. FC films are deposited by spin coating method and plasma polymerization method. Hydrophobic surfaces are used as the barriers to control fluid flow. Injected liquid is spontaneously filled up inside PDMS-microchannels by the capillary action. Liquid flow stops when it meets hydrophobic regions which can be the barrier against fluid flow. Then, again, when liquid is pressurized externally, liquid can move toward another hydrophilic region by external air pressure. Contact angle analyses are performed on fluorocarbon films to estimate the wettability of film surfaces.

Morphology of membrane affects its performance [1]. For a constant amount of fixed charges, the distribution of these charges is also significant to its performance (2). In some ionomer membranes such as Nafion, the membrane fixed charge is not randomly distributed, but occurs in clusters. Thus, the membrane solution is phase-separated, with the ion clusters, acting as inverted micelles in a polymer solvent.(omitted)

Volatile organic compounds (VOC) cause air pollution problem and deterioration of atmosphere of petrochemical and fine chemical plants. Hybrid process of membrane and cold-condensation were developed and it effectively removed and recycled the VOC. Operation parameters of the process were optimized to attain hish removal and recycle of VOC. Composite membranes for organic vapor separation were developed in this work by PDMS coating and plasma polymerization on polypropylene and polysulfone support membranes. PDMS and various silicone monomers were tested for several organic vapors such as benzene, toluene, TCE, and HCFC, which are produced in petrochemical and fine chemical industry and causes air pollution problems if are released to atmosphere. Composite membranes prepared in this work showed appreciable performance in terms of organic vapor removal and reuse. Performance variation of the membranes was correlated with their surface characteristics.

A novel type of intelligent microcapsule reactor system was prepared. The reactor can recognize pH change in the medea and control reaction rate by itself. For the reactor system, acrylic acid (AA), N-isopropylacrylamide (NIPAM), and glucose oxidase (GOD) were selected as a pH-responsive device, a gating device according and a reaction device, respectively. Poly(NIPAM-co-AA) (P-NIPAM-co-AA) are known to change its hydrophilicity-hydrophobicity due to pH change. They were integrated in a core-shell microcapsule space. GOD was loaded inside the core space and the pores in the outside shell layer were filled with P-NIPAM-co-AA linear grafted chains as pH-responsive gates by plasma graft filling polymerization method. When P-NIPAM-co-AA gates are hydrophilic at high pH value, this microcapsule permits glucose penetration into the core space and GOD reaction proceeds. However, when P-NIPAM-co-AA gates are hydrophobic at low pH value, this microcapsule forbids glucose penetration and GOD reaction will not occur. The accuracy of this concept was examined.
