Teflon like fluorocarbon thin films have been deposited on silicon and oxide molds as an antistiction layer for the hot embossing process by an inductively coupled plasma (ICP) chemical vapor deposition (CVD) method. The process was performed at $C_4F_8$ gas flow rate of 2 sccm and 30 W of plasma power as a function of substrate temperature. The thickness of film was measured by a spectroscopic ellipsometry. These films were left in a vacuum oven of 100, 200 and $300^{\circ}C$ for a week. The change of film thickness, contact angle and adhesion and friction force was measured before and after the thermal test. No degradation of film was observed when films were treated at $100^{\circ}C$. The heat treatment of films at 200 and $300^{\circ}C$ caused the reduction of contact angles and film thickness in both silicon and oxide samples. Higher adhesion and friction forces of films were also measured on films treated at higher temperatures than $100^{\circ}C$. No differences on film properties were found when films were deposited on either silicon or oxide. A 100 nm silicon template with 1 to $500\;{\mu}m$ patterns was used for the hot embossing process on $4.5\;{\mu}m$ thick PMMA spun coated silicon wafers. The antistiction layer of 10 nm was deposited on the silicon mold. No stiction or damages were found on PMMA surfaces even after 30 times of hot embossing at $200^{\circ}C$ and 10 kN.

Experiments on photochemical reactions of purified air alone in an indoor smog chamber were carried out after flushing Teflon bags with purified air for many hours in order to check the level of contamination on the chamber wall. Ozone concentrations were linearly increased from <4 ppb up to about 8 ppb with irradiation time for four hours. Outgassing of NOx from the chamber wall was found to be less than 1 ppb. New ultrafine particles were formed and grown up to about 70 nm during the photochemical reactions, and then total number and mass concentrations of particles were increased from <10 particles/$cm^3$ up to about 4,000 particles/$cm^3$ and $1.3{\mu}g/m^3$, respectively. The wall conditions of these Teflon bags flushed with purified air might not severly affect the chamber experimental results for photochemical reactions of polluted urban ambient air. The difference of gaseous species between two chambers was 2.4 ppb of ozone at most, indicating that the wall cleaning performance of two chambers was nearly similar.

Liquid valve is divided into cylinder and liquid part or composed of a single body structure. It becomes a connected structure to cylinder head after inserting stainless(STS) shaft to Teflon packing. In injecting and intercepting fluid, working efficiency becomes low because of the top and bottom round trip operation the friction between Teflon packing and STS shaft fluid leakage, decline of working environment, and each part replacement. And so target value is unattainable in productivity liquid valve design, quality, and structure change are studied. In this paper, designed to solve the existing problems basically, to prevent friction of Piston by developing diaphragm linked with piston, to satisfy long life, and to provide the prevention of leakage. The objective of the study is also to prevent remains fluid at nozzle tip after dispensing fluid, and bell close with the suction function in piston retreating.

The purpose of this study is to understand the impact that temperature and relative humidity have on the volatilization loss of particulate nitrate $(NO_3^-)$ from Teflon filters during measurements of ambient fine particles $(PM_{2.5})$. Fine particles $(d_p<2.5{\mu}m)$ were measured using an annular denuder system (ADS) at four representive areas in Seoul. The measurements were made during 28 different days at 24-hr sampling intervals from February 14 to October 15, 1997. In this study, nitrate losses. calculated by the ratio of nitrate on the nylon filter to their sum in both Teflon and nylon titters, varied seasonally in the following order: summer (45.5%) > spring (23.8%) > fall (20.6%) > winter (19.7%). The results showed strong correlations with temperature, but we did not observe any significant effects of relative humidity. However, we observed that both temperature and relative humidity influenced the ambient gas/particle nitrate ratio in a different case study using a denuder.

Statement of problem. There have been previous studies about instability according to screw material by means of calculating preload in tightening screw or recording of the torque necessary to loosen screw after tightening screw. Purpose. The purpose of this study was to evaluate screw joint stability through the analysis of fitness at the mating thread surfaces between implant and screw after tightening screws made of different materials. Material and methods. In this study, screws were respectively used to secure a cemented abutment to a hexlock implant fixture; teflon coated titanium alloy screw and titanium alloy screw(Steri-Oss), gold-plated gold-palladium alloy screw and titanium alloy screw(Implant Innovation), gold screw and titanium screw(AVANA Dental Implant System). Each abutment screw was secured to the implant with recommended torque value using a digital torque controller. Each screw was again tightened after 10minutes. All samples were cross sectioned with sandpaper and polished. Then samples were evaluated with an scanning electron microscope analysis. Results. In titanium alloy screw, irregular contact and relatively large gap was present at mating thread surface. Also in teflon-coated titanium screw, incomplete seating and only partially contact was present at the mating thread surface. In gold-plated gold-palladium alloy screw, relatively close and tight contact without the presence of large gap was present by existing of gold coating at the mating thread surfaces. In gold alloy screw, relatively small gap between the mating components was seen. Conclusions. This result suggested that gold plated gold-palladium alloy screw and gold alloy screw achieved a greater degree of contact at the mating thread surfaces compared to titanium alloy screw and teflon-coated titanium alloy screw.

In this paper, a 5-coupled BPF with teflon substrate is presented. In general, for less than 1 GHz frequency, the narrow bandwidth as well as the good characteristic in the rejection frequency band could be realized using lumped elements. However, for higher than 1 GHz frequency, the distributed elements such as microstrip lines need to be used for the design of the desired BPF For less than 2 GHz, the FR4 shows good filter characteristic at low cost. However, in the range of 2 GHz ~ 10 GHz, the filters with FR4 show a big difference between simulation and measurement results. Thus, in such a high frequency region, the teflon is more preferred to the FR4. The center frequency (fc) of the proposed filter is 2.3 GHz, the insertin loss (IL) is 1.2 dB, the return loss (RL) is 30 dB, bandwidth (BW) is 100 MHz, and the size is 8.3 cm $\times$ 4.9 cm.

Circular metal electrodes were vacuum-deposited with chromium on the both sides of Teflon-FEP and PET film characteristic of electret and the physical properties of the two polymers were observed during an irradiation by gamma-ray from $\^$60/Co. With the onset of irradiation of output 25.0 cGy/min the induced current increased rapidly for 2 sec, reached a maximum, and subsequently decreased. A steady-state induced current was reached about in 60 second. The dielectric constant and conductivity of Teflon-FEP were changed from 2.15 to 18.0 and from l${\times}$l0$\^$-17/ to 1.57${\times}$10$\^$-13/ $\Omega$-$\^$-1/cm$\^$-1/, respectively. For PET the dielectric constant was changed from 3 to 18.3 and the conductivity from 10$\^$-17/ to 1.65${\times}$10$\^$-13/ $\Omega$-$\^$-1/cm$\^$-1/. The increase of the radiation-induced steady state current I$\^$c/, permittivity $\varepsilon$ and conductivity $\sigma$ with output(4.0 cGy/min, 8.5 cGy/min, 15.6 cGy/min, 19.3 cGy/min) was observed. A series of independent measurements were also performed to evaluate reproducibility and revealed less than 1% deviation in a day and 3% deviation in a long term. Charge and current showed the dependence on the interval between measurements, the smaller the interval was, the bigger the difference between initial reading and next reading was. At least in 20 minutes of next reading reached an initial value. It may indicate that the polymers were exhibiting an electret state for a while. These results can be explained by the internal polarization associated with the production of electron-hole pairs by secondary electrons, the change of conductivity and the equilibrium due to recombination etc. Heating to the sample made the reading value increase in a short time, it may be interpreted that the internal polarization was released due to heating and it contributed the number of charge carriers to increase when the samples was again irradiated. The linearity and reproducibility of the samples with the applied voltage and absorbed dose and a large amount of charge measured per unit volume compared with the other chambers give the feasibility of a radiation detector and make it possible to reduce the volume of a detector.

Portable-type two electrode system for the determination of highly concentrated hydrogen peroxide (10-75%) has been studied. The electrode body was made with teflon rod (length=10 cm, diameter=1.5 cm) to withstand the highly corrosive power of hydrogen peroxide. Glass carbon rod (diameter=3 mm) was used as the working electrode and a carbon cylinder (i.d.=5 mm; o.d.=9 mm) was used as counter electrode. The applied voltage for the determination of $H_2O_2$ was 0.8 V. Diluting the highly concentrated samples taken from the industrial batch to 10% or less, it was possible to make quantitative determinations, while eliminating the interference from the stabilizer contained in the sample and preventing the surface of the electrode from oxidative corrosion. Employing hydrogen peroxide permeable membrane (teflon membrane${\leq}100{\mu}m$) for the electrode system, it was possible to measure the content of $H_2O_2$ in highly concentrated samples directly, quantitatively and reproducibly with no extra dilution step. However, it was necessary to change the internal electrolyte frequently to maintain the analytical performance of the electrode.

Fabrication of polysulfone (PSf) hollow fiber membranes was investigated for the separation of $N_2/NF_3$ gas mixtures, which are emitted from the display and the semiconductor industries. A combination of the non-solvent induced phase separation (NIPS) and the vapor-induced phase separation (VIPS) technique was applied to develop high flux hollow fiber membranes. Thin polymer layers were further coated onto the surface of the hollow fiber membranes by using polydimethylsiloxiane (PDMS) or Teflon AF1600(R), which contributes to improve the $N_2/NF_3$ selectivity. The $N_2/NF_3$ separation performances of our PSf hollow fiber membranes were determined by the intrinsic properties of coating materials. Especially, the PSf hollow fiber membrane coated with Teflon AF 1600(R) exhibited a higher $N_2/NF_3$ selectivity (> 14) with a slightly lower $N_2$ permeance (4.5 GPU), as compared to the commercial PSf counterparts. This feature provides a good potential as a membrane structure to separate $N_2/NF_3$.

To collect or transfer samples of gaseous pollutants, various types of tubing are used. Hence, to analyze the uncertainties associated with the use of tubings, a series of comparative test were designed and conducted using the RSC standards with different concentration ranges. For the purpose of this study, we prepared tubings made of six different types of material which include: [1] silco-steel (S1), [2] stainless steel (S2), [3] silicone (S3), [4] PTFE Teflon (T1), [5] tygon (T2), and [6] brass (B). The patterns of RSC loss on to tubing walls, when compared on the basis of the least reactive material S1, exhibited that the extent of RSC loss varied dynamically. It was found that Teflon is highly stable. However, other materials tend to exhibit contrasting patterns of loss. S2 and B show significant loss of light RSC $(H_2S\;and\;CH_3SH)$, while S3 and T2 experience notable loss of heavy RSC (DMS and DMDS).
