Plasma is generated by electrical discharge. Most plasma generation has been carried out at low-pressure gas typically less than one millionth of atmospheric pressure. Plasmas are in general generated from impact ionization of neutral gas molecules by accelerated electrons. The energy gain of electrons accelerated in an electrical field is proportional to the mean free path. Electrons gain more energy at low-pressure gas and generate plasma easily by ionization of neutrals, because the mean free path is longer. For this reason conventional plasma generation is carried out at low pressures. However, many practical applications require plasmas at high-pressure. In order to avoid the requirement for vacuum pumps, researchers in Korea start to develop plasmas in high-pressure chambers where the pressure is 1 atmosphere or greater. Material processing, environmental protection/restoration and improved energy production efficiency using plasmas are only possible for inexpensive bulk plasmas. We thus generate plasmas by new methods and plan to set foundations for new plasma technologies for $21^{st}$ / century industries. This technological research will play a central role in material processing, environmental and energy production industries.

An approximation technique was developed for the simulation of free surface flows in non-orthogonal coordinates. The main idea of this approach is to approximate VOF by the second order linear equation in the transformed domain on the assumption that the continuity of free surface would be maintained. The method was justified through a set of numerical test to examine if its original shape could be maintained when the circles are convected in uniform velocity in horizontal direction in curvilinear coordinates. Finally a simple problem was solved by applying the method to CFX4.1 general purpose CFDS code.

본 연구에서는 대기압 플라즈마를 이용하여 polylactic acid(PLA) 필름의 표면 특성 변화를 알아보았다. 극성 용매인 물과 비극성 용매인 Diiodomethane을 사용하여 표면의 접촉각을 측정하고, 이 값을 이용해 표면자유에너지 값을 계산하였다. 또한 대기압 플라즈마의 처리 조건에 따른 PLA 필름의 접촉각과 표면자유에너지 값을 최적화하였다. 그 결과 대기압 플라즈마 처리 시간 30 sec, RF-power 70 W, Ar 가스 유량은 6 lpm, 공기 중의 노출 시간은 5 min이었을 때가 가장 낮은 물 접촉각을 나타내었고, 표면자유에너지는 가장 높은 값을 나타내었다. XPS 분석을 통해서 대기압 플라즈마 처리 전 후 PLA 필름의 화학적 관능기의 변화를 분석하였으며, PLA 표면에 -C=O, -CO, -COO 등의 변화를 관찰하였다.

In this article, an analytic non-classical model for the free vibrations of nanobeams accounting for surface stress effects is developed. The classical continuum mechanics fails to capture the surface energy effects and hence is not directly applicable at nanoscale. A general beam model based on Gurtin-Murdoch continuum surface elasticity theory is developed for the analysis of thin and thick beams. Thus, surface energy has a significant effect on the response of nanoscale structures, and is associated with their size-dependent behavior. To check the validity of the present analytic solution, the numerical results are compared with those obtained in the scientific literature. The influences of beam thickness, surface density, surface residual stress and surface elastic constants on the natural frequencies of nanobeams are also investigated. It is indicated that the effect of surface stress on the vibrational response of a nanobeam is dependent on its aspect ratio and thickness.

Perovskite solar cells have received increasing attention in recent years because of their outstanding power conversion efficiency (exceeding 22%). However, they typically contain toxic Pb, which is a limiting factor for industrialization. We focused on preparing Pb-free perovskite films of Ag-Bi-I trivalent compounds. Perovskite thin films with improved optical properties were obtained by applying an anti-solvent (toluene) washing technique during the spin coating of perovskites. In addition, the surface condition of the perovskite film was optimized using a multi-step thermal annealing treatment. Using the optimized process parameters, $AgBi_2I_7$ perovskite films with good absorption and improved planar surface topography (root mean square roughness decreased from 80 to 26 nm) were obtained. This study is expected to open up new possibilities for the development of high performance $AgBi_2I_7$ perovskite solar cells for applications in Pb-free energy conversion devices.

This paper aims to present an analytical methodology to investigate influences of nanoscale and surface energy on buckling stability behavior of perforated nanobeam structural element, for the first time. The surface energy effect is exploited to consider the free energy on the surface of nanobeam by using Gurtin-Murdoch surface elasticity theory. Thin and thick beams are considered by using both classical beam of Euler and first order shear deformation of Timoshenko theories, respectively. Equivalent geometrical constant of regularly squared perforated beam are presented in simplified form. Problem formulation of nanostructure beam including surface energies is derived in detail. Explicit analytical solution for nanoscale beams are developed for both beam theories to evaluate the surface stress effects and size-dependent nanoscale on the critical buckling loads. The closed form solution is confirmed and proven by comparing the obtained results with previous works. Parametric studies are achieved to demonstrate impacts of beam filling ratio, the number of hole rows, surface material characteristics, beam slenderness ratio, boundary conditions as well as loading conditions on the non-classical buckling of perforated nanobeams in incidence of surface effects. It is found that, the surface residual stress has more significant effect on the critical buckling loads with the corresponding effect of the surface elasticity. The proposed model can be used as benchmarks in designing, analysis and manufacturing of perforated nanobeams.

$Ce^{4+}$ ion을 개시제로 사용하여 폴리비닐알코올에 2,2,2-trifluoroethyl methacrylate를 그라프트중합 반응시켜 새로은 PVA/perfluoroalkylmethacrylate 그라프트 공중합체들을 합성하였다. 수소 결합능이 큰 폴리비닐알코올에 여러 가지 그라프트율을 갖는 공중합체의 표면 자유에너지를 이 고체 표면들과 여러가지 액체와의 접촉각을 측정하여 구하였다. Perfluoroalkyl group이 그라프팅이 커짐에 따라 고체의 표면 자유에너지는 감소하며, 그 고체들은 극성 부분에 의해 기여되는 힘이 크므로 극성 고체의 분자 특성을 고려한 식으로부터 ${\gamma}_{si}$을 구하여 임계 표면 에너지 ${\gamma}_c$를 계산하였다.

본 연구에서는, 화학적 표면처리에 따른 카본블랙의 표면, 흡착, 그리고 미세구조의 성질과 물리적 표면 자유에너지를 고찰하였다. 실험적 결과를 통하여, 염기성 용액으로 표면 처리한 경우 pH와 비표면적의 변화 없이 표면 자유에너지의 비극성 또는 극성요소의 증가를 가져왔다. 반면에 산성표면처리의 경우에는 표면특성, 흡착성질과 미세구조의 큰 변화를 확인하였다. 특히, 염기성 처리된 카본블랙은 비극성이나 비표면적의 중요한 인자로 표면 자유에너지의 London 비극성 요소의 증가를 볼 수 있었다. 이는 카본블랙/고무 복합재료에 있어서, 카본블랙이 강화재의 역할 뿐 아니라 분산력 발달에 중요한 역할을 담당하고 있기 때문으로 사료된다.

Cold rolled steel sheet for automotive was treated by Ar/$O_2$ atmospheric pressure plasma to improve the adhesive bonding strength. Through the contact angle test and calculation of surface free energy for cold rolled steel sheet, the changes of surface properties were investigated before and after plasma treatment. The contact angle was decreased and surface free energy was increased after plasma treatment. And the change of surface roughness and morphology were observed by AFM(Atomic Force Microscope). The surface roughness of steel sheet was slightly changed. Based on Taguchi method, single lap shear test was performed to investigate the effect of experimental parameter such as plasma power, treatment time and flow rate of $O_2$ gas. Results shows that the bonding strength of steel sheet treated in Ar/$O_2$ atmospheric pressure plasma was improved about 20% compared with untreated sheet.
