Aluminium doped zinc oxide(ZnO:Al) thin film, which is mainly used as a transparent conducting electrode in electronic devices, has many advantages compared with conventional indium tin oxide(ITO). In this paper in order to investigate the possible application of ZnO:Al thin films as a transparent conducting electrode for flexible film-typed dye sensitized solar cell (FT-DSCs), ZnO:Al and ITO thin films were prepared on the polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrate by r. f. magnetron sputtering method. Specially one-inched FT-DSCs using either a ZnO:Al or ITO electrode were also fabricated separately under the same manufacturing conditions. Some properties of both the FT-DSCs with ZnO:Al and ITO transparent electrodes, such as conversion efficiency, fill factor, and photocurrent were measured and compared with each other. The results showed that by doping the ZnO target with 2 wt% of $Al_2O_3$, the film deposited at discharge power of 200W resulted in the minimum resistivity of $2.2\times10^{-3}\Omega/cm$ and at ransmittance of 91.7%, which are comparable with those of commercially available ITO. Two types of FT-DSCs showed nearly the same tendency of I-V characteristics and the same value of conversion efficiencies. Efficiency of FT-DSCs using ZnO:Al electrode was around 2.6% and that of fabricated FT-DSCs using ITO was 2.5%. This means that ZnO:Al thin film can be used in FT-DSCs as a transparent conducting layer.

$TiO_2$(2 wt.%)-doped ZnO(TZO) films with thickness from 100 nm to 500 nm were prepared on polyethylene naphthalate(PEN) substrate under various rf-power range from 40 W to 80 W. Their electrical and optical properties were investigated as a function of rf-power. We think that these properties were closely related with the crystallization and the film density of TZO films. It was also presumed that the vaporization of the water vapor and other adsorbed particles such as an organic solvents can affect the electrical properties of the conventional transparent conductive oxide(TCO) films. On the other hand, since the TZO film deposited on glass substrate at room temperature with rf-power of 80 W shows a very low resistivity of $7.5\times10^{-4}\;\Omega{\cdot}cm$ and a very excellent transmittance over an average 85% in the visible range, that is comparable to that of ITO films. Therefore, we expect that the TZO films can be used as transparent electrode for optoelectronic devices such as touch-panels, flat-panel displays, and thin-film solar cells.

탄소나토튜브를 투명 전극에 활용하기 위한 필수요소인 정제과정없이 무정제 단일벽 탄소나노튜브(single-walled carbon nanotube, SWCNT)와 은나노와이어(silver nanowire) 분산액을 제조하여 폴리에틸렌 테레프탈레이트(polyethylene terephthalate, PET) 필름에 바 코팅을 이용하여 전기전도성 투명전극을 제조하였다. PET 기판 위에 SWCNT 및 은 나노와이어를 각각 포함하는 코팅층을 상호 교차시켜 적층함으로서 은나노와이어의 전기 전도도와 투과도를 극대화시키고 헤이즈 (haze)가 증가되는 단점을 극복하기 위해 SWCNT를 도입하였고, 무정제 SWCNT내에 존재하는 금속 촉매의 산화에 의해서 항온항습 테스트 후 저항이 급격하게 증가하는 문제를 은 나노와이어가 전기적 네트워크 형성에 기여하여 산화에 대한 안정성을 확보할 수 있었다. SWCNT함량이 0.025 wt% 인 분산액을 PET 기판에 먼저 코팅하고 그 위에 은 나노와이어의 함량이 0.05 wt%인 분산액을 코팅한 투명전극의 시트 저항은 47 Ω/□, 투과도는 96.72%, 헤이즈는 1.93% 로 전기적 광학적 특성이 우수하게 나왔고, 산화 안정성 평가를 위한 항온 항습 실험 후 시트 저항의 변화율이 6.4% 로 적게 나타나서 장기적 사용에 적합하다는 것을 알 수 있었다. 무정제 SWCNT 사용함으로 저비용, 친환경 하이브리드 투명전극을 상업적으로 활용 가능한 수준의 제품이 개발되었다.

Thickness-dependent electrical, structural, and optical properties of zinc oxide (ZnO) thin films on polyethylene terephthalate (PET) substrates were investigated in the very thin thickness range of 20 to 120 nm. A very unusual transition phenomenon, in which electrical resistance increases with an increase in film thickness, was observed. From structural and compositional analyses, this transition behavior was explained to arise from metallic Zn agglomerates dispersed in non-crystalline Zn-O matrix. It was unveiled that film thickness more than 80 nm is required for the development of hexagonal crystal structure of ZnO. ZnO films on PET substrates exhibited high optical transmittance and good mechanical flexibility in the thickness range. The results of this study would provide a valuable guideline for the design of ZnO thin films on organic substrates for practical applications.

This study was conducted to produce effectively more leaves of Angelica acutiloba through year-round production system by using various mulching materials. Soil temperature by covering treatment was the highest in P.E.(Polyethylene Film) mulching and followed by rice straw mulching, especially showing highest temperature in Tr. PE(Transparent Polyethylene Film) from April through May. Water content of soil was higher in P.E. mulching than in non-mulching. Leaf and stem production of Angelica acutiloba through year-round production showed the highest in PE mulching also root production of Angelica acutiloba showed the highest in P.E. mulching. These results suggest that leaf and stem production of Angelica acutiloba can be maximized through P.E. mulching cultivation system.

In this parer aluminium-doped zinc oxide(ZnO:Al) conducting layer was deposited on polyethylene terephthalate(PET) substrate by r. f. magnetron sputtering method. The effects of gas pressure and r. f. sputtering power on the structural and electrical properties of ZnO:Al thin film were investigated experimentally. Especially the effect of position of PET substrate on the electrical properties of the film was studied and fixed to improve the electrical properties and also to increase the deposition rate. The results show that the structural and electrical properties of ZnO:Al thin film were strongly influenced by the gas pressure and sputtering power. The minimum resistivity of $1.1{\times}10^{-3}[{\Omega}-cm]$ was obtained at 5[mTorr] of gas pressure, and 18D[W] of sputtering power. The deposition rate of ZnO:Al film at 5[mTorr] of gas pressure was 248[nm/min]. and is higher by around 3 times compared to that at 25[mTorr].

Ceramic green sheets consisting Bi-based glass frit were fabricated for an application to PDP transparent dielectric front panel. The dispersion condition of the slurry for tape casting was pre-examined, and two kinds of hinder and plasticizer were used in the non-aqueous slurry system. In the fabrication process for the frit film, the properties such as dry and firing shrinkage, elongation, and transmittance were examined at the condition of various mixing ratio of plasticizers. In the mixing ratio of polyethylene glycol to dibutyl phthalate of 3:5wt%, a good adhesion, elongation and transmittance were observed at the firing temperature of $580^{\circ}C$. The photograph for the cross section of the interface was also showed a dense microstructure.

투명전도성필름(transparent conductive film, TCF) 제조를 위해 사용되는 은 나노입자의 평균입자 크기 및 형태가 폴리에틸렌 테리프탈레이트(polyethylene terephthalate, PET) 필름 위에 코팅된 은 전도성 라인의 광학 및 전기특성에 미치는 영향을 연구하였다. Ag-CM, Ag-ME 및 Ag-EE 방식으로 제조한 은 나노입자가 Ag-EB, Ag-CR 및 Ag-PL 방식으로 제조한 은 나노입자보다 투명도는 차이가 없으나 전도도에서 우수한 특성을 보였다. 이는 입자의 크기가 앞에 언급한 세 가지 경우 평균 입도가 약 80 nm 이하이고 입도의 균일도가 양호한 반면, 뒤에 언급한 세 가지 경우 평균입도가 100 nm 이상이며 입자의 뭉침 현상이 심하게 나타난 결과와 관련이 있음을 확인하였다. 이 결과는 PET 필름 위에 코팅을 하고 건조시켜 제조한 패턴을 각각의 시료별로 SEM으로 정면과 측면에서 관찰하였을 때, 패턴의 형상 및 두께의 균일도 측면에서 나타난 결과와 동일하였다. 따라서 은 나노입자의 평균입자 크기가 작고 입자의 균일성이 유지될수록 보다 우수한 전기 특성을 나타냄을 확인하였다.

Four different biopolyester films, two aliphatic polyesters including polylactides (PLA) and poly(3-hydroxy-butyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate (PHBV), and two aliphatic-aromatic copolyesters including Ecoplex and Biomax, were prepared using by thermo-compression, and their tensile and water barrier properties were determined. Among the films tested, PLA film was the most transparent (T: 95.8%), strongest, and stiffest (TS, 40.98 MPa; E, 1916 MPa), however it was rather brittle. In contrast, Ecoplex film was translucent while being the most flexible and resilient (EB, 766.8%). Biomax film was semitransparent and was the most brittle film tested (EB, 0.03%). All biopolyester films were water resistant exhibiting very low water solubility (WS) values ranging from 0.0.3 to 0.36%. PHBV film showed the lowest water vapor permeability (WVP) value ($1.26{\times}10^{-11}\;g{\cdot}m/m^2{\cdot}sec{\cdot}Pa$) followed by Biomax, PLA, and Ecoflex films, respectively. The water vapor barrier properties of each film were approximately 100 times higher than those of carbohydrate or protein-based films, but about 100 times lower than those of commodity polyolefin films such as low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or polypropylene (PP).
