This paper deals with change of contact angle, surface potential decay, surface resistivity and XPS of water-treated epoxy insulator. From the experimental results on the contact angle was reduced from $74^{\circ}$to $24^{\circ}$ due to the formation of polar hydroxyl groups on surface which was associated with intermolecular reaction between epoxy chains of three-dimensional network structure and water molecules. From the experimental results in the surface potential decay of water treated-samples, it was found that the accumulation of charge is decreased and the surface potential decay time is shortened by the interaction of polar hydroxyl groups induced on the treated surface as the increment of treatment time. The positive charging on the treated surface compared with negative charging is relatively lowered by the induction of polar hydroxyl groups. The surface resistivity was changed from $10^{15}[{\Omega}/cm^2$] to $10^{12}[{\Omega}/cm^2$] caused by water treatment. From XPS, it was found that the changes affected by the surface degradation of epoxy were caused by the generation of carboxyl groups through the chain decomposition and recombination with oxygen molecules in the air.

A number of surface modification techniques using immobilization of biofunctional molecules of Titanium (Ti) for dental implants as well as surface properties of Ti and Ti alloys have been developed. The method using passive surface oxide film on titanium takes advantage of the fact that the surface film on Ti consists mainly of amorphous or low-crystalline and nonstoichiometric $TiO_2$. In another method, the reconstruction of passive films, calcium phosphate naturally forms on Ti and its alloys, which is characteristic of Ti. A third method uses the surface active hydroxyl group. The oxide surface immediately reacts with water molecules and hydroxyl groups are formed. The hydroxyl groups dissociate in aqueous solutions and show acidic and basic properties. Several additional methods are also possible, including surface modification techniques, immobilization of poly(ethylene glycol), and immobilization of biomolecules such as bone morphogenetic protein, peptide, collagen, hydrogel, and gelatin.

Effects of high-temperature slurry were investigated on the chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) performance of tetra-ethyl ortho-silicate (TEOS) film with silica and ceria slurries by the surface analysis of X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS). The pH showed a slight tendency to decrease with increasing slurry temperature, which means that the hydroxyl $(OH^-)$ groups increased in slurry as the slurry temperature increased and then they diffused into the TEOS film. The surface of TEOS film became hydro-carbonated by the diffused hydroxyl groups. The hydro-carbonated surface of TEOS film could be removed more easily. Consequently, the removal rate of TEOS film improved dramatically with increasing slurry temperature.

To enhance the power conversion efficiency of dye-sensitized solar cell (DSSC), the surface of titanium dioxide ($TiO_2$) photoelectrode was modified by hydroxylation treatment with $NH_4OH$ solution at $70^{\circ}C$ for 6 h. The $NH_4OH$ solutions of various concentrations were used to introduce the hydroxyl groups on $TiO_2$ surface. As the concentration of $NH_4OH$ was increased, the short-circuit current density ($J_{SC}$) value and conversion efficiency of solar cells were increased because the amount of adsorbed dye molecules on $TiO_2$ surface was increased. As a result of the surface modification to introduce hydroxyl groups, the concentration of adsorbed dye on the $TiO_2$ surface could be improved up to 32.61% without the changes of morphology, surface area and pore volume of particles. The morphology, the specific surface area, the pore volume and the chemical states of $TiO_2$ surface were characterized by using FE-SEM, $N_2$ adsorption-desorption isotherms and XPS measurements. The amount of adsorbed dye and the performance of fabricated cells were analyzed by using UV-Vis absorption spectroscopy and solar simulator.

In this paper, we present surface treatments for achieving bonds between PMMA and PDMS substrates. Silane primer is used for the formation of hydroxyl group on PMMA surfaces. The formed hydroxyl groups enhance the bonding strength of PDMS-PMMA substrates without channel clogging and structure deformation. The bonding strength on the different surface treatments (include oxygen plasma, 3-APTES, and corona discharge) is evaluated to find optimal bonding condition. The maximum bonding strength at the optimal surface treatment is over 300 kPa. The surface treatment using silane primer can be used to the bonding process of Micro-TAS and Lab-on-a-Chip.

The interaction of -$Al(CH_3)_2$ with -OH on a fully OH-terminated Si (001) surface was studied using density functional theory. Two sites for $Al(CH_3)_3$ to react with the -OH on the surface were identified. The $-Al(CH_3)_2$ product energetically favored the dimer-row site rather than the inter-row site because the Al atom of $-Al(CH_3)_2$ at the dimer-row site was attracted by the lone pair electrons of the O atom in the neighboring -OH. The energy barrier for the transfer of the $-Al(CH_3)_2$ between the two sites was 0.11 eV, and therefore, the $-Al(CH_3)_2$ at the inter-row site can easily transfer to the dimer-row site at room temperature.

Several dual-curable acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives (PSA) were synthesized by the radical polymerization of acrylic monomers containing benzophenone, hydroxyl, and alkyl groups. The optimum extent of UV-induced cure was determined by varying the content of the benzophenone groups (the photoinitiator) from 0.5 to 1.5 wt%. The weight average molecular weight of the polymers obtained ranged from 300,000 to 700,000 amu. The coated pressure-sensitive adhesives were cured either by short UV exposure to induce the grafting of acrylic polymers, or by heating for 6 hat $60^{\circ}C$ to promote the reactions between the polyisocyanates and hydroxyl groups. The dual-curing behavior was determined by monitoring both processes quantitatively by infrared spectroscopy. The developed dual-curable acrylic pressure-sensitive adhesives were found to compensate for the limitations in UV-induced curing of thick coatings.

점토광물은 대기부터 지하수에 이르는 크리티컬존(critical zone) 영역에서 금속과 탄소 순환을 결정짓는 역할을 한다. 계산광물학 연구방법 중에 하나인 분자동역학(molecular dynamics) 시뮬레이션은 지구물질을 원자단위로 계산하기 때문에, 점토광물의 물리화학적 현상들에 대해 원자수준의 자세한 정보를 제공할 수 있다. 이번 연구에서는 clayFF 힘 장(force field)을 사용한 분자동역학 시뮬레이션을 이팔면체 점토광물인 깁사이트(gibbsite, $Al(OH)_3$), 카올리나이트(kaolinite, $Al_2Si_2O_5(OH)_4$), 파이로필라이트(pyrophyllite, $Al_2Si_4O_{10}(OH)_2$)에 적용하여 300 K, 1기압조건에서 각 광물이 가지는 격자상수와 원자간 거리를 계산하고 실험결과와 비교하였다. 더불어 수산기의 방향성 및 수소결합의 양상 그리고 파워스펙트럼(power spectrum)을 추가적으로 계산하였다. 계산 결과, 격자상수는 기존의 실험결과와 약 0.1~3.7% 미만의 오차율을 보였으며, 원자간 거리는 실험결과와 약 5% 미만의 차이를 가졌다. 깁사이트나 카올리나이트의 팔면체층 표면에 존재하는 수산기가 가지는 신축진동파수(stretching vibrational wavenumber)는 실험값 보다 약 $200-300cm^{-1}$ 높게 계산되었지만, 팔면체층 표면에 존재하는 수산기들의 상대적 크기의 경향은 기존 실험 결과와 일치하였다. 팔면체층 표면의 수산기가 (001)면과 이루는 각도도 기존 실험결과와 상당부분 일치한 반면에 내부 수산기의 경우는 다소 차이를 보였다. ClayFF를 사용한 분자동역학 시뮬레이션 연구 방법은 이팔면체 점토광물 표면 내(층간) 금속이온 흡착에 대한 수산기의 역할을 규명하는데 유용한 연구방법이 될 수 있음을 시사한다.

Faujasite 표면 수산기를 나타내는 cluster 모델의 전체에너지, 쌍극자모멘트, Wiberg결합차수 및 형식전하를 CNDO/2법을 이용하여 계산하였다. 이에 관한 양자화학적 고찰은 faujasite 표면 수산기의 산세기가 그 기하학적 구조와 Si/Al비에 의존되어 있음을 보여준다. B산성의 세기는 가교형 수산기가 독립형 수산기에 비해 컸었다. 모델분자들의 구조적 안정성은 Si/Al비가 클수록 증가하였다.

Silicon direct bonding 기술은 잔류 응력이 없고, 안정한 특성을 가진 센서의 제작과 silicon-on-insulator 소자의 제조에 널리 이용되고 있다. SDB의 공정 절차는 크게 실리콘 웨이퍼의 수산화 공정 과정과 wet oxidation fumace에서 고온의 열처리 공정 과정을 거치게 된다. 수산화 공정을 행한 후, Fourier transformation-infrared spectroscopy를 사용하여 실리콘 웨이퍼 표면을 분석하여 보면, 실리콘 웨이퍼의 표면에서는 수산화기가 생성됨을 알 수 있다. 실험 결과, $H_{2}O_{2}\;:\; H_{2}SO_{4}$ 용액을 사용한 친수성 용액 처리의 경우에 있어서는 수산화기가 3474 $cm^{-1}$ 주위의 넓은 영역에서 관찰되었다. 그러나, diluted HF 용액의 경우에 있어서는 수산화기가 관찰되지 않았다. 접합된 실리콘웨이퍼를 tetramethylammonium hydroxide 식각 용액을 사용하여 식각 공정을 수행하였다. 식각 공정은 자동 식각 중지가 수행되었으며, 식각된 표면은 평탄하고 균일하였다. 그러므로, 이러한 SDB 기술은 우수한 특성을 가진 압력, 유속, 가속도 센서 등과 같은 센서의 제작 및 센서 응용 분야에 이용될 수 있을 것이다.
