Superhydrophilic thin film consisted of positively charged poly (allylamine hydrochloride) (PAH) and negatively charged poly (acrylic acid) (PAA) was fabricated by a layer-by-layer (LBL) self-assembly. Glutaraldehyde (GA) was used in order to increase an adhesion hardness by amine-aldehyde reaction. The surface morphology, thickness, transmittance, water contact angle and adhesion hardness of PAH/PAA thin film with or without GA were measured. The adhesion hardness of PAH/PAA thin film with GA deposition increased over 2 times although the film thickness of PAH/GA/PAA decreased than that of PAH/PAA thin film. The increase of adhesion hardness by amine-aldehyde reaction between PAH and GA was measured by fourier transform infrared (FT-IR) spectroscopy. Fabricated PAH/PAA and PAH/GA/PAA thin films showed water contact angel under $5^{\circ}$ and high transmittance over 91.3% at 550 nm.

Plasma immersion ion beam deposition (PIIBD) technique is a cost-effective process for the deposition of diamond like carbon thin film, the possible solid lubricant on large surface and a complex shape. We used PIIB process for the preparation of DLC thin film on $Al_2O_3$ with deposition conditions of deposition temperature range $200^{\circ}C$, working gas pressure of 1.310-1Pa. DLC thin films were coated by $C_2H_2$ ion beam deposition on $Al_2O_3$ after the ion bombardment of SiH4 as the bonding layer. Energetic bombardment of $C_2H_2$ ions during the DLC deposition to ceramic materials generated mixed layers at the DLC-Si interface which enhanced the interface to be highly bonded. Wear test showed that the low coefficient of friction of around 0.05 with normal load 2.9N and proved the advantage of the low energy ion bombardment in PIIBD process which improved the tribological properties of DLC thin film coated alumina ceramic. Furthermore, PIIBD was recognized as a useful surface modification technique for the deposition of DLC thin film on the irregular shape components, such as molds, and for the improvement of wear and adhesion problems of the DLC thin film, high temperature solid lubricant.

Pt thin films on Cr or Ti interlayer were deposited onto a tungsten carbide(WC) substrate by the ion beam assisted DC magnetron sputtering. The various atomic percent of Cr and Ti underneath of the Pt films were prepared to examine the total thin film characteristics. The microstructure and surface analysis of the specimen were conducted by using the SEM, XRD and AFM. Mechanical properties such as hardness and adhesion strength of Pt thin film also were examined. The interlayer of pure Ti was formed with 40 nm thickness while that of pure Cr was done with 50 nm as standard reference. The growth rate of either Cr or Ti thin film was almost same under the same deposition conditions. The SEM images showed that anisotropic grain of Pt thin films consisting of dense columnar structures irrespectively grew from the different target compositions. The values of hardness and adhesion strength of Cr/Pt thin film coated on a WC substrate were higher than those of Ti/Pt thin film.

Social infrastructure facilities can be destroyed instantly when exposed to EMP (ElectroMagnetic Pulse), causing social chaos. However, concrete structures with low electrical conductivity cannot expect EMP shielding effect. Therefore, in this study, a metal sprayed thin film showing excellent EMP shielding performance was applied to a concrete structure to evaluate the metal spray welding efficiency and adhesion performance of the thin film according to the concrete surface treatment method. As a result according to the concrete surface treatment method, It was confirmed that the use of a roughening agent that generates physical irregularities in order to improve the welding efficiency and adhesion performance increases the physical performance of the concrete and metal sprayed thin film.

Polyvinylidenefluoride (PVDF) is most used in piezoelectric polymer industry. Electrode effect on the electrical properties of PVDF has been investigated. al has been used due to fair adhesion for PVDF. Work function of metal plays an important role on the electrical properties of ferroelectrics for top and /or bottom electrode. However, Al has much lower work function than Pt or Au and so leakage current of Al/PVDF/Al may be large. Pt or Au has not been used for electrode of PVDF system due to poor adhesion. PVDF irradiated by Ar+ ion beam with O2 environment takes good adhesion to inert metal. Contact angle of PVDF to triple distilled water was reduced from 75$^{\circ}$ to 31$^{\circ}$ at 1$\times$1015 Ar+/cm2. Working pressure was 2.3$\times$10-4 Torr and base pressure was 5$\times$10-6 Torr. Pt was deposited by ion beam sputtering and thickness of pt film was about 1000$\AA$. in previous study, enhancing adhesion of Pt on PVDF was shown. in this study, effect of electrode on PVDF will be represented.

In PECVD(Plasma-Enhanced Chemical Vapor Deposition) process, titanium nitride is thin and its adhesion is poor for the protective coatings. Therefore it has been studied that intermediate layer forms between substrate and TiN thin film. Using R.F. plasma nitriding, nitride layer was first formed, then TiN thin film coated by PECVD. The chemical composition of the coatings has been characterized using AES, EDS and their crystallographic structure by means of XRD. Mechanical properties such as microhardness and film adhesion have also been determined by vickers hardness test, scratch test and indentation test. As a result, there was no difference in chemical composition and structure between the TiN deposition only and the composite of TiN deposition on nitrided steel. It was found that nitrided substrate increased the hardness of TiN coatings and was beneficial in preventing the plastic deformation in the substrate. Therefore the effective load bearing capacity of the TiN coatings on nitrided steel was increased and their adhesion was improved as well. According to the results of this study, the processes that lead to the formation of composite layers characterized by good working properties, i.e., high microhardness, adhesion and resistance to deformation.

We report the improvement in adhesion of IZO thin films through oxygen ($O_2$) plasma treatment of organic polymer film. In conclusion, the $O_2$ plasma treatment of an organic polymer film was accomplished with improving ca. 1.8 times in adhesion than that of the only general etch treatment on the same organic polymer film.

Thin reflective films are synthesized by using PVD methods with a bright metal of Al or Ag. For purposes of improving the reflectance and adhesion of such films particularly, substrate bias was applied during sputtering (namely, ion-plating) to enhance the deposition process with higher energy. And we succeeded in fabricating a quality silver film which possesses an adhesion of $85{\;}Kg/\textrm{cm}^2$ and a high reflectivity of more than 96%. Both of reflectivity and adhesion are better in case of bias sputtering as controlled than nonbias sputtering, particularly the bias of 50-100 V showed most effective. The microstructures of sample films were examined by using various equipments and the XRD spectrum in particular showed that <111> direction is the preferred growth orientation.

The effects of microstructural change on the adhesion strength between Cu/Cr film and polyimide have been studied. Cr films (50 nm thick) and Cu films (500 or 1000 nm thick) were deposited on polyimide by DC magnetron sputtering. During Cu deposition the Ar pressure was 5 or 100 mtorr. The microstructure was observed by SEM and the adhesion was measured by T-peel test. Plastic deformation of peeled metal strips was characterized quantitatively by using XRD technique. The film in which Cu is deposited at 100 mtorr has higher adhesion strength than the film in which Cu is deposited at 5 mtorr. And in the film with same deposition pressure of 100 mtorr, the adhesion strength is increased as the deposited thickness increases from 500 to 1000 nm. The adhesion change of Cu/Cr can be interpreted as the difference in plastic deformation.
