Characteristics of the swelling-induced wrinkles on the surfaces of natural rubber (NR) film were investigated. The wrinkle structure was generated by swelling of NR film pre-stretched and firmly bonded onto an aluminum substrate in hexane. A novel experimental method was adopted to replicate the swelling-induced wrinkles on the NR film using an epoxy-hardener system. To get insight into the wrinkle parameters; the wrinkle length (L), wrinkle distance (D), wrinkle height (H) and the angle between two consecutive wrinkles (${\theta}$), the cross-sections of the replicas obtained from saturated swollen NR film were examined using an optical microscopy (OM). From the OM images, the wrinkling parameters were measured as a function of the thickness of NR film from 0.42 to 1.76 mm. Also, it was evaluated that the effects of swelling time on the wrinkling parameters. The length (L), distance (D) and height (H) of wrinkles increased as the thickness of the NR film and the swelling time increased. However, the angle between the wrinkles (${\theta}$) showed a sharp decrease up to a swelling time of 200 minutes and slightly decreased afterwards.

In this paper, the adhesion characteristics between a fused silica without or with an anti-sticking layer and a thermoplastic polymer film used in thermal NIL were investigated experimentally in order to identify the release performance of the anti-sticking layer. The anti-sticking layers were derived from fluoroalkylsilanes, (1H, 1 H, 2H, 2H-perfluorooctyl)trichlorosilane ($F_{13}-OTS$) and (3, 3, 3-trifluoropropyl)trichlorosilane (FPTS), and coated on the silica surface in vapor phase. The commercial polymers, mr-I 7020 and 8020 (micro resist technology, GmbH), for thermal NIL were spin-coated on Si substrate with a rectangular island which was fabricated by conventional microfabrication process to achieve small contact area and easy alignment of flat contact sur- faces. Experimental conditions were similar to the process conditions of thermal NIL. When the polymer film on the island was separated from the silica surface after imprint process, the adhesion force between the silica surface and the polymer film was measured and the surfaces of the silica and the polymer film after the separation were observed. As a result, the anti-sticking layers remarkably reduced the adhesion force and the surface damage of polymer film and the chain length of silane affects the adhesion characteristics. The anti-sticking layers derived from FPTS and $F_{13}-OTS$ reduced the adhesion force per unit area to 38% and 16% of the silica sur-faces without an anti-sticking layer, respectively. The anti-sticking layer derived from $F_{13}-OTS$ was more effective to reduce the adhesion, while both of the anti-sticking layers prevented the surface damages of the polymer film. Finally, it is also found that the adhesion characteristics of mr-I 7020 and mr-I 8020 polymer films were similar with each other.

We investigated the electro-optical (EO) performances of the super twisted nematic liquid crystal display (STN-LCD) on the polyimide (PI) surface using polymer film. Monodomain alignment of the plastic STN-LCD can be observed. A stable voltage-transmittance (V-T) curve of the plastic STN-LCD was observed on the polyimide (PI) surfaces using polymer film. Also, a faster response time for the plastic STN-LCD on the polyimide (PI) surfaces using polymer film can be achieved. Therefore, the EO performances of the plastic STN-LCD on the polyimide (PI) surfaces using polymer film is almost the same as that of the glass STN-LCD on a polyimide (PI) surface.

In this report, we demonstrate a high performance polymer thin-film transistor fabricated on a paper substrate. As a water barrier layer, parylene was coated on the paper substrate by using vacuum deposition process. Using poly (3-hexylthiophene) as an active layer, a polymer thin-film transistor with field-effect of up to 0.086 $cm^2/V{\cdot}s$ and on/off ratio of $10^4$ was achieved. The fabrication of polymer thin-film transistor built on a cheap paper substrate is expected to open a channel for future applications in flexible and disposable electronics with extremely low-cost.

Poly(3-methylthiophene) 전도성 막전극을 이용해서 벗김 전압-전류법으로 Ag의 분석 가능성을 연구하였다. 막전극 표면에 존재하는 18-crown-6은 수용액에서 Ag(I)을 착화에 의해서 흡수하고 이 Ag(I)은 제한된 전위 범위의 순환 전압-전류법에 의해서 막전극 속으로 이동하여 유리질 탄소전극에서 산화-환원된다. 따라서 막전극은 Ag(I)의 침투를 용이하게 하기 위해서 적당한 두께의 다공성으로 제조되어야 한다. 이러한 실험 결과를 바탕으로 수용액에서 $5.0{\times}10^{-6}M$의 Ag(I)을 검출할 수 있었다.

Condensation control of nano-particles has become important in order to fabricate minute condensed structures. In this study, we focus our attention on condensation mechanism of polymer aggregates in a resist film. The polymer aggregate is structural component of a resist material which is used in lithography process. The condensation nature of polymer aggregates in the resist film surface is observed by using atomic force microscope (AFM). By using the AFM, the condensation of polymer aggregates can be observed clearly. The condensation of polymer aggregate strongly affects to precise fabrication of resist pattern below 100nm size. The interaction force among polymer aggregates can be analyzed based on Derjaguin approximation. We also discuss about condensation nature of polymer aggregates in the resist film surface with the help of micro sphere model.

Poly(p-phenylene pyromellitimide) and poly(4,4'-biphenylene pyromellitimide) are representatives of fully rod-like polyimides. Their structure and properties in thin films are reviewed. The polymers exhibit some excellent properties such as high molecular packing coefficient, high mechanical modulus, and low thermal expansion coefficient, and low interfacial stress, so that they are very attractive to both industry and academia. However, these polymers are very brittle and thus practically useless. Some chemical modifications to improve such drawback with a little sacrifice of the high modulus are described: i) incorporation of short side groups into the polymer backbone and ii) insertion of proper linkages into the polymer backbone.

광조사에 의하여 발색단 분해를 유도함으로써 고분자의 굴절률을 변화시켜 공중합체 박막의 굴절률을 조절하고, FTIR과 UV/Vis 분광 실험으로 굴절률에 영향을 미치는 구조의 변화를 조사하였다. 광표백에 따라 공중합체 박막의 굴절률이 작아지는 것은 광반응에 의하여 발색단 내 C=C 이중결합이 끊어져 고분자의 편극률이 작아지기 때문이다. 입사되는 빛의 전기장 방향에 의존하는 선택적인 광반응에 의하여 필름 면에 평행한 방향으로 존재하는 발색단이 먼저 분해가 되면서 고분자 필름 면에 평행한 방향의 굴절률이 수직한 방향에서 보다 더 급격하게 감소하였다. 이와 같은 고분자 박막 내의 굴절률 차이를 편광 ATR-FTIR 실험에서 얻어지는 고분자 특성 피크의 변화를 조사하여 증명하였다.
