용융방사에 의한 선형 폴리락트산(polylactic acid, PLLA) 섬유가공에 있어서 가공 시 PLLA에 가해진 열 이력이 섬유의 기계적 특성과 결정화도에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. PLLA의 가공 시 가해진 열 이력에 의하여 PLLA의 분자량이 감소하며 이러한 분자량의 감소는 PLLA 섬유의 배향도 감소와 결정화도의 감소를 유발시킨다. 그 결과, PLLA 섬유의 인장강도와 탄성계수가 감소하며 신율이 증가됨을 확인할 수 있었다. PLLA의 용융방사에서 발현된 결정화는 PLLA의 느린 결정화 속도에 의하여 thermal induced crystallization보다는 stress induced crystallization에 기인함을 알 수 있었다. PLLA 섬유를 열처리하였을 경우, 상대적으로 분자량이 작고 열 이력을 받은 PLLA로 만들어진 섬유가 열 이력을 받지 않은 PLLA로 만들어진 섬유보다 결정화도가 높음을 확인하였다. 이로 보아 열처리에 의한 결정화도의 증가는 stress, Induced crystallization보다는 thermal induced crystallization에 기인함을 알 수 있었다.

인조흑연 제조용 바인더로 주로 이용되는 콜타르 핏치와 페놀 레진은 soft carbon 및 hard carbon의 초기 탄소화합물 구조에 차이가 있다. 따라서 탄화 온도에 따른 열분해 거동, 미세조직, 결정성의 변화 과정도 다를 것으로 예상할 수 있다. 본 연구에서는 콜타르 핏치 및 페놀 레진의 열분해 거동, 미세조직, 결정성 변화에 관하여 비교 분석하였다. 콜타르 핏치는 액상을 경유한 탄화 과정을 거치며, 탄화 온도가 증가함에 따라 미세조직이 점차 변화되는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 탄화 온도가 증가함에 따라 콜타르 핏치 및 페놀 레진 모두 결정성은 증가하는 경향을 나타냈지만, 콜타르 핏치는 미세조직이 급변하는 500 및 600 ℃ 구간에서 결정성도 급격히 변화는 것을 확인할 수 있었다. 또한 미세조직과 결정성은 서로 밀접한 연관성이 있었다.

Recently, silk sericin has attracted attention because of its unique properties as a biomaterial, including its UV resistance, moisturizing effect on skin, and wound-healing effect. Therefore, the preparation of sericin in various forms such as gel, film, fiber, and sponge is studied for cosmetic and biomedical applications, and the effect of the preparation conditions on the structure and properties of sericin forms is examined to maximize its performance. In this study, silk sericin films were prepared under different preparation conditions and heat-treated at high temperatures ($100-250^{\circ}C$) to examine the effect of heat treatment on the film structure. The order of the crystallinity index of the untreated sericin film is as follows: F25 (sericin film cast from formic acid) > WE25 (ethanol treated sericin film cast from water at $250^{\circ}C$) > W25 (sericin film cast from water at $250^{\circ}C$) > W100 (sericin film cast from water at $100^{\circ}C$). As the heat-treatment temperature was increased, the color of the sericin films changed gradually from colorless to yellow, brown, and black depending on the temperature. The crystallinity of the sericin film changed after the heat treatment, depending on the preparation condition. Whereas a sericin film cast from formic acid (F25) started to lose its crystallinity at $200^{\circ}C$, thus undergoing the highest loss of crystallinity among the sericin films studied, the rest (W25, WE25, and W100) showed a decrease in crystallinity at $250^{\circ}C$, owing to the disruption of the ${\beta}$-sheet crystallites due to heat.

Poly(3-Hydroxybutyrate-co­3-Hydroxyvalerate), poly(3HB-co-3HV), copolyesters with a variety of 3HV contents (ranging from 17 to $60\;mol\%$) were produced by Alcaligenes sp. MT-16 grown on a medium containing glucose and levulinic acid in various ratios, and the effects of hydrophilicity and crystallinity on the degradability of the copolyesters were evaluated. Measurements of thermo-mechanical pro­perties and Fourier-transform infrared spectroscopy in the attenuated total reflectance revealed that the hydrophilicity and crystallinity of poly(3HB-co-3HV) copolyesters decreased as 3HV content in the copolyester increased. When the prepared copolyester film samples were non-enzymatically hydrolysed in 0.01 N NaOH solution, the weights of all samples were found to have undergone no changes over a period of 20 weeks. In contrast, the copolyester film samples were degraded by the action of extra­cellular polyhydroxybutyrate depolymerase from Emericellopsis minima W2. The overall rate of weight loss was higher in the films containing higher amounts of 3HV, suggesting that the enzymatic degra­dation of the copolyester is more dependent on the crystallinity of the copolyester than on its hydro­philicity. Our results suggest that the degradability characteristics of poly(3HB-co-3HV) copolyesters, as well as their thermo-mechanical properties, are greatly influenced by the 3HV content in the copoly­esters.

Light induced degradation of hydrogenated amorphous silicon(a-Si:H) are related to the number of weak dangling bonds which are thought to be responsible for the Staebler-Wronski effects, and caused the many photoelectric problems in applications of thin film transistors and solar cell, etc. In this paper, we deposited fluorinated amorphous silicon films(a-Si:H;F) with $SiH_4$ and $SiF_4$ gas mixture and investigated the effects of fluorine atoms on the evoluations of the crystallinity and improvements of light instability. We have found that micro-crystallinity produced in a-SI:H;F films and marked maximum value of 22% at the flow rate of $SiH_4:SiF_4$=2:10 sccm by UV spectrophotometer measurement, while n-Si:H film deposited with only $SiH_4$ gas showed no crystallinity. Light-induced degradation property of a-Si:H;F films is also improved which is mainly due to the etching effects of fluorine atoms on the weak Si-Si bonds and unstable hydrogen bonds. It is considered that involving fluorine atoms in a-Si:H films may contribute to the suppression of light-induced degradation and evolution of micro-crystallinity.

Glass fiber reinforced PET matrix composite was manufactured by rapid press consolidation technique as functions of temperature, pressure and time in pre-heating, consolidation and solidification stages. The optimal manufacturing conditions for this composite were discussed based on the void content, tensile, interlaminar shear and impact properties. In addition, the levels of crystallinity with various manufacturing conditions were measured using differential scanning calorimetry to investigate the mechanical properties of this composite material as a function of crystallinity. Among many processing parameters, the mold temperature and the cooling rate after forming were found to be the most critical factors in determining the level of crystallinity and mechanical properties. The level of crystallinity affects the tensile properties to some degree. However, impact properties are affected much more. It also affects the degree of ductility, which determines the impact energy of this material.

Silk has attracted the attention of numerous research groups because of its unique properties as a biomedical material. Recently, studies on the biomedical application of silk cocoon, such as membranes for guided bone regeneration, have been conducted. As a preliminary study on silkworm cocoons, the morphological structure and crystallinity of cocoon of nine silkworm varieties with different sides are examined in this study. The morphological structure of the silkworm cocoon is shown to be dependent on silkworm variety and the cocoon layer (i.e. outside or inside). It is also shown that the silk filaments of the out layer are more bent and twisted compared to those of the inner layer. Furthermore, the crystallinity of the outer surface of all silkworm cocoons is found to be higher than that of the inner surface, regardless of the silkworm variety. Lastly, it is shown that the crystallinity index of the cocoon depends on the silkworm variety, implying that the structure of the cocoon varies with silkworm variety.

The crystallinity and molecular weight of cotton linter need to be controlled to be more easily dissolved in NMMO during manufacture of clothing fabrics. Electron beam irradiation and sulfuric acid treatment were used as pre-treatment to reduce molecular weight of cotton linter more efficiently, and after the pre-treatment, peroxide bleaching was followed in alkaline condition. After those processes, the crystalline indices of the cotton linters were measured by XRD method, and other properties such as their alpha cellulose contents and degree of polymerization were measured. It was found that the crystallinity index of cotton linter was decreased as the irradiation of electron beam increased while increased as the dose of sulfuric acid increased. These results strongly suggested that electron beam damaged the crystalline structure of the cellulose directly while sulfuric acid dissolved mostly non-crystalline area of the cellulose structure.

Li-doped ZnO films were prepared on Corning 1737 glass substrate by an rf magnetron sputtering technique using ZnO targets with various $Li_2CO_3$ contents ranging from 0 to 10 mol%. The effects of Li doping on the crystallinity and electrical properties of ZnO films were studied for their SAW filter applications. The film resistivity largely increased without suppressing the c-axis orientation and crystallinity with a small addition of Li. Heat treatment of the film at 40$0^{\circ}C$ induced that the film resistivity, c-axis orientation and crystallinity slightly increased. However, heat treatment of the film at 50$0^{\circ}C$ resulted in much lower resistivity than that of as-deposited film due to the increase of electron concentration caused by the evaporationof Li atoms from the ZnO film. Large addition of Li into the ZnO film rather diminished the film resistivity and suppressed the c-axis growth. It was concluded that a small doping of Li into the ZnO film and heat treatment at 40$0^{\circ}C$ caused the film resistivity to be high enough for SAW filter applications without suppression of the c-axis orientation and crystallinity.

용매와 비용매의 다양한 비율에 따라서 bisphenol A polycarbonate(PC)의 무정형에서 결정성의 상변화를 확인하였다. 용매로 chloroform을, 비용매로 isopropanol을 사용하였다. 결정화된 PC는 광학현미경과 SEM, XRD, DSC를 이용하여 조사하였고, DSC와 XRD의 측정값은 PC의 결정화도를 판단하는데 이용하였다. 용해도 상수는 PC의 결정화도를 조절하는데 중요한 인자로 PC 결정화도 차이는 혼합용매의 용해도 상수 차이로 설명하였다. 용매와 비용매 비율이 75/25 wt%의 PC 용액에서 고결정화도를 가진 PC powder로 얻을 수 있었다. 이런 결과는 혼합용매의 용해도 상수(9.85)가 PC의 용해도 상수(9.9)와 유사하였기 때문이라고 판단된다.
