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.

폴리아미드 직물과 NBR의 최적 접착특성을 나타낼 수 있는 조건을 검토하기 위해 대기압 플라즈마(APP) 처리 효과에 대한 실험적 연구를 하였다. 대기압 화염 플라즈마(APFP) 처리의 경우 주어진 계면조건에서 최적의 처리횟수는 2회였다. APFP 처리 횟수가 증가함에 따라 직물의 열변형은 더욱 심하였다. APFP 처리 직물을 강화한 복합재료의 접착강도는 접착제를 한번 혹은 두번 도포한 계면에 대해 플라즈마를 처리하지 않은 경우에 비해 약 35% 증가하였다. 접착제를 중복 도포하였을 때, APFP 처리 직물 강화한 복합재료의 접착에너지는 약 4배 증가하였다. APFP 처리에 의한 폴리아미드 직물의 표면 개질이 다른 형태의 APP 처리방식과 비교했을 때, 경제적이고 빠르며 고무와의 접착강도를 개선시킬 수 있는 방법이라고 판단된다.

A microwave plasma torch at the atmospheric pressure by making use of magnetrons operated at the 2.45 GHz and used in a home microwave oven has been developed. This electrodeless torch can be used to various areas, including industrial, environmental and military applications. Although the microwave plasma torch has many applications, we in the present work focused on the microwave plasma torch operated in pure steam and several applications, which may be used in future and right now. For example, a high-temperature steam microwave plasma torch may have a potential application of the hydrocarbon fuel reforming at one atmospheric pressure. Moreover, the radicals including hydrogen, oxygen and hydroxide molecules are abundantly available in the steam torch, dramatically enhancing the reaction speed. Also, the microwave plasma torch can be used as a high-temperature, large-volume plasma burner by injecting hydrocarbon fuels in gas, liquid, and solid into the plasma flame. Finally, we briefly report treatment of soils contaminated with oils, volatile organic compounds, heavy metals, etc., which is an underway research in our group.

본 실험에서는 상압플라즈마에 의한 목분의 표면개질에 대해 조사하였다. 복합재는 목분과 폴리프로필렌을 이용하여 제작되었다(목분 : 폴리프로필렌=55wt% : 45wt%). 상압플라즈마는 carrier gas로 헬륨과 HMDSO를 모노머로 사용하였고 3 KV, $17{\pm}1$KHz, 2 g/min의 조건에서 처리하였다. 폐목분의 인장강도는 상압플라즈마 처리를 통해 18.5 MPa에서 21.2 MPa로 14.6% 증가하였고 단일수종목분의 경우에도 21.5 MPa에서 23.4 MPa로 8.8% 증가하였다. 이것으로 상압플라즈마 처리는 목분의 표면을 개질하여 폴리프로필렌과의 계면결합력을 증가시켜주는 것을 확인하였다.

Using the plasma that we developed to generate a low-temperature plasma at atmospheric pressure, we have investigated the etching possibility of an air-exposed zinc oxide(ZnO) thin films. Hydrogen and methane radicals generated from the plasma were observed and their intensity was found to be dependent on the isomer of butyl acetate by an analysis with optical emission spectrosxopy. The etching ability of this plasma was evaluated by an emission intensity, etching time, rf power.

In this study, we attempted to characterize the biomolecular effects of an atmospheric-pressure cold plasma (APCP) system which utilizes helium/oxygen $(He/O_2)$. APCP using $He/O_2$ generates a low level of UV while generating reactive oxygen radicals which probably serve as the primary factor in sterilization; these reactive oxygen radicals have the advantage of being capable to access the interiors of the structures of microbial cells. The damaging effects of plasma exposure on polypeptides, DNA, and enzyme proteins in the cell were assessed using biochemical methods.

Previously, in trying to prepare perovskite type oxide powders by microwave heating, we found out a non-equilibrium argon plasma is generated around the powders and discharge continues stable at atmospheric pressure. In this study, we tried the plasma decomposition of heat-stable higher organic compound such as palmitic acid which is the principal constituent of the fimger fats. It was proved that suitable amount of coexistence of oxygen radicals into the argon flow accelerates the decomposition of palmitic acid. The argon-oxygen mixed gas plasma was able to perform a complete elimination of higher organic compound.

The improvement of $NO_x$ reduction by $Ag/{\gamma}-Al_2O_3$ with a hydrocarbon ($n-C_7H_6$) in the early state was investigated in a packed-bed dielectric barrier discharge plasma reactor. The results revealed that the combination of plasma with the catalyst enhanced $NO_x$ reduction efficiency at low operating temperatures, depending on the temperature and specific input energy. To sum up, the poor performance of the catalytic $NO_x$ reduction at low temperatures in the early stage before reaching thermochemical steady state can be greatly compensated for by using the atmospheric-pressure plasma generated in the catalyst bed.
