본 연구는 불소그룹을 함유한 술폰화된 아릴렌에테르계 블록 공중합체 고분자 전해질막의 제조 및 연료전지 특성에 관한 것이다. 이러한 불소그룹을 함유한 술폰화된 아랄렌에테르계 블록 공중합체를 제조하기 위하여 양말단에 불소계 비닐기를 가지면서, 고분자 전환시 상온에서 술폰화 가능한 biphenyl계 단량체와 술폰화가 불가능한 sulfonyl계 단량체를 각각 합성하였다. Biphenyl계 단량체로 부터 올리고머를 합성한 후 sulfonyl계 단량체와 열적 고리화 부가중합을 하여 다양한 몰조성을 갖는 일련의 perfluorocyclobutane(PFCB)기를 포함하는 블록 공중합체를 제조하였다. 제조된 블록 공중합체를 상온에서 술폰화제인 chlorosulfonic acid(CSA)를 이용하여 후술폰화시켜 강산 이온기인 sulfonic acid를 biphenyl계 올리고머 부분에 선택적으로 도입하였다. 이렇게 제조된 술폰화된 고분자를 제막한 후 연료전지 특성을 Nafion-115와 비교하였다. 술폰화가 되는 올리고머 블록의 비율 증가에 따라 이온교환능력 (IEC)이 증가하였고 , 그에 따른 팽윤도 역시 증가하는 것을 보였다. 술폰화된 고분자들은 건조 및 습윤 상태에서도 기계적 강도가 우수하였다. 최적화된 술폰화 블록 고분자(S-2) 를 대상으로 membrane electrolyte assembly(MEA) 를 제조하여 연료전지 초기성능을 측정한 결과 Nafion-112와 유사한 전기화학적 성능을 나타내었다.

최근 초발수성 표면은 자동차 표면을 비롯해 안경 렌즈 등 여러 분야에서 사용되고 점차 그 필요성이 대두되고 있다. 이러한 초발수성 표면 제작은 주로 자연 상태에서 초발수 특성을 보이는 연 잎을 모방하는 방법으로 이루어지고 있다. 연 잎의 표면을 살펴보면 표면에 마이크로-나노 구조의 돌기가 존재하고 그 위에 표면에너지가 낮은 물질이 코팅되어 있는 구조이다. 본 연구에서는 이를 응용하여 금속 표면에 마이크로-나노 구조물을 형성하고 그 위에 발수 특성을 지닌 물질을 코팅하는 방법을 이용하여 초발수성 금속 표면을 개발하였다. 이는 건축 외장재, 자동차 및 내연 기관 부품, 모바일 기기 등의 가전제품 외장재 등 발수 특성을 필요로 하는 분야에 적용 가능하고, 이에 대한 수요가 급증하고 있다. 마이크로-나노 구조 형성은 기계적 가공 및 이온 빔 식각 방법을 이용하였다. 그리고 그 위에 plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (PECVD) 방법을 이용하여 표면에너지가 낮은 fluorinated carbon 혹은 diamond-like-carbon (DLC)를 코팅하였다. 본 연구의 결과, 표면 처리 이전 물과의 접촉각이 $60^{\circ}$ 정도를 보이는 steel 기판이 표면 처리 이후에는 $140^{\circ}$ 이상의 접촉각을 보임으로써 초발수 특성의 표면이 형성되었음을 확인할 수 있었다.

Superhydrophobic surfaces on alloyed steels were fabricated with a non-conventional method of plasma etching and subsequent water immersion procedure. High aspect ratio nanopatterns of nanoflake or nano-needle were created on the steels with various Cr content in its composition. With CF4 plasma treatment in radio-frequence chemical vapor deposition (r.-f. CVD) method, steel surfaces were etched and fluorinated by CF4 plasma, which induced the nanopattern evolution through the water immersion process. It was found that fluorine ion played a role as a catalyst to form nanopatterns in water elucidated with XPS and TEM analysis. The hierarchical patterns in micro- and nano scale leads to superhydrophobic properties on the surfaces by deposition of a hydrophobic coating with a-C:H:Si:O film deposited with a gas precursor of hexamethlydisiloxane (HMDSO) with its lower surface energy of 24.2 mN/m, similar to that of curticular wax covering lotus surfaces. Since this method is based on plasma dry etching & coating, precise patterning of surface texturing would be potential on steel or metal surfaces. Patterned hydrophobic steel surfaces were demonstrated by mimicking the Robinia pseudoacacia or acacia leaf, on which water was collected from the humid air using a patterned hydrophobicity on the steels. It is expected that this facile, non-toxic and fast technique would accelerate the large-scale production of superhydrophobic engineering materials with industrial applications.

Perfluorinated chemicals are highly diverse and widely used. More than 160 substances are pre-registered under REACH and approximately 140 substances are in the existing chemicals list of Korea from this chemical group. Chemical structures of PFCs that are globally prohibited and still in uses are identified with OECD's classification of PFCs with an overall review on their uses in consumer products including textile products. Case examples for current domestic situation on use of PFCs as a major component of water-repelling agents in textile products as well as a brief summary of eight major PFC manufacturers' situation are presented from our survey study along the supply chains and the most recent report of EPA stewardship programme, respectively.

A blue phosphorescent $Ir(dfpypy)_3$ (dfpypy:fluorinated pyridine-pyridine ligand) complex with meridional configuration has been synthesized by newly developed effective method and its solid state structure and photoluminescence are characterized. For this complex, mer-$Ir(dfpypy)_3$, the glass-transition and decomposition temperatures appear at $160^{\circ}C$ and $384^{\circ}C$ respectively in TGA and DSC experiments, which indicates that this complex has high thermal stability. In a crystalline structure, an average Ir-C bond length of mer-$Ir(dfpypy)_3$ is slightly longer than that of fac-$Ir(dfpypy)_3$, which assumed to be due to the weak trans-influence. The absorption and emission spectra are observed more red-shifted in mer-$Ir(dfpypy)_3$ than fac-$Ir(dfpypy)_3$. In addition, the former is readily oxidized than the latter in electrochemical behavior.

We investigate the surface order, defects and morphology of hexagonal columnar mesophases, Having a crown ether at one end which forms the center of the column and three fluorinated tails at the other, The orientation of the columns was successfully controlled by surface anchoring: Columns were aligned perpendicularly to an evaporated carbon surface, and the planar alignment do asymmetric compounds was induced by a water surface. TEM images show that there is a high degree of perfection in the packing do the cylinders. The hexagonal columnar mesophase (F(sub)h) was confirmed by direct images and the corresponding electron diffractions, where ordered cylindrical moieties are packed on a hexagonal lattice. The column of 12F8-ABG-15C5 was much straighter, compared with that of 12F8-AG-B15C5, resulting from the degrees of regular stacking. Elementary edge dislocation, grain boundary and +1/2 disclination have been observed, although the defects are generally rare.

Hydrophobic a-C:F film was coated on polycarbonate film with $CF_4$, $C_2F_6$ and HFC ($C_2F_4H_2$) gas in helium discharge generated by 5~100 kHz AC power supply at atmospheric pressure and room temperature. The highest water contact angle of the a-C:F film formed with $He/C_2F_6$ mixed gas is $155^{\circ}$. X-ray photoelectron spectrum showed that there was 40% of C-$CF_3$ bond at the surface of the super hydrophobic film. The contact angle and deposition rate were decreased with increasing substrate temperature. The contact angle was generally increased with the surface roughness of the film. The contact angle was high when the surface microstructure of the film was fine and sharp at the similar roughness and chemical composition of the surface.

A PFA lined ball valve, which is machined with fluorinated resin PFA to its inner part for improving corrosion resistance, non-stickness, heat-resistance, has been widely used to the chemical/pharmaceutical industries, the semiconductor/LCD manufacturing processes, etc. with the high purity chemicals as working fluid. EPA stated that 60% of all fugitive emissions come from the valve stem packing in a typical petroleum or chemical processing plant. They monitor regulated components for leaks and maintain seal performance at acceptable levels. Korean industrial standards only deals with the bubble test for in-line leakage of valves, which has the detectable leak rate of $10^{-4}$ [$mbar{\cdot}L{\cdot}s^{-1}$], therefore, it is not sufficient to check fugitive emissions. In this study, we conducted Helium leak detection from a PFA lined ball valve and evaluated fugitive emissions according to ISO 15848-1, which has the detectable leak rate of $10^{-9}$ [$mbar{\cdot}L{\cdot}s^{-1}$], for manufacturing the high-reliable PFA lined ball valves against fugitive emissions.

A fluorinated-sulfonated, hydrophobic-hydrophilic copolymer was planed subsequently synthesized using typical nucleophilic substitution polycondensation reaction. A novel AB and ABA (or BAB) block copolymers were synthesized using sBCPSBP (sulfonated 4,4'-bis[4-chlorophenyl)sulfonyl]-1,1'-biphenyl), DHN (1,5-dihydroxynaphthalene), DFBP (decafluorobiphenyl) and HFIP (4,4'-hexafluoroisopropylidenediphenol). All block copolymers were easily cast and made into clear films. The structure and synthesized copolymers and corresponding membranes were analyzed using GPC (gel permeation chromatography), $^1H$-NMR ($^1H$ nuclear magnetic resonance) and FT-IR (Fourier transform infrared). TGA (Thermogravimetric analysis) and DSC (differential scanning calorimetry) analysis showed that the prepared membranes were thermally stable, so that elevated temperature fuel cell operation would be possible. Hydrophobic/hydrophilic phase separation and clear ionic aggregate block morpology was confirmed in both triblock and diblock copolymer in AFM (atomic force microscopy), which may be highly related to their proton transport ability. A sulfonated BAB triblock copolymer membrane with an ion-exchange capacity (IEC) of 0.6 meq/g has a maximum ion conductivity of 40.3 mS/cm at $90^{\circ}C$ and 100% relative humidity.
