An epoxy coating was designed to give a hydrophobic property on its surface by modifying it with three types of Amino Terminated Polydimethylsiloxane (ATP), and then effects of the modification on the structure, surface hydrophobic tendency, water transport behavior and hence corrosion protectiveness of the modified epoxy coating were examined using FT-IR spectroscopy, hydrothermal cyclic test, and impedance test. The surface of epoxy coating was changed from hydrophilic to hydrophobic property due primarily to a phase separation tendency between epoxy and modifier by the modification. The phase separation tendency is more appreciable when modified by ATP with higher molecular weight ATP at higher content. Water transport behavior of the modified epoxy coating decreased more in that with higher hydrophobic surface property. The resistance to localized corrosion of the modified epoxy coated carbon steel was well agreed with its water transport behavior and hydrophobic tendency.

The immediate purposes of this study is to establish the surface chemical principles associated with the flotation process of waste papers and to verify them by practical flotation experiments. To achieve this AKD sized hydrophobic microcrystallince cellulose (MCC) with different levels of hydrophobicity, and hydrophilic MCC dyed with black were prepared as model substances. The effects of surface characteristics on flotation efficiency were evaluated by measuing the brightness of the flotation rejects obtained after the flotation experiments carried out using MCC mixtures prepared with different ratios of hydrophobic and hydrophilic MCCs. Results showed that more than 90% of the flotation rejects consisted of hydrophobic MCC indicating the critical importance of the hydrophobicity of the materials in the flotation process. The proportions of hydrophobic materials in the reject remained constant when highly sized MCC was used as a model of hydrophobic substance.

Polyurethane coating was designed to give a hydrophobic property on its surface by modifying it with hydroxyl terminated polydimethylsiloxane and then effects of surface hydrophobic tendency, water transport behavior and hence corrosion protectiveness of the modified polyurethane coating were examined using FT-IR/ATR spectroscopy, contact angle measurement and electrochemical impedance test. As results, the surface of polyurethane coating was changed from hydrophilic to hydrophobic property due primarily to a phase separation tendency between polyurethane and modifier by the modification. The phase separation tendency is more appreciable when modified by polydimethylsiloxane with higher content. Water transport behavior of the modified polyurethane coating decreased more in that with higher hydrophobic surface property. The decrease in the impedance modulus ${\mid}Z{\mid}$ at low frequency region in immersion test for polyurethane coatings was associated with the water transport behavior and surface hydrophobic properties of modified polyurethane coatings. The corrosion protectiveness of the modified polyurethane coated carbon steel generally increased with an increase in the modifier content, confirming that corrosion protectiveness of the modified polyurethane coating is well agreed with its water transport behavior.

Biological systems offer unique principles for the design and fabrication of engineering platforms (i.e., popularly known as "Biomimetics") for various applications in many fields. For example, the lotus leaves exhibit unique surfaces consisting of evenly distributed micro and nanostructures. These unique surfaces of lotus leaves have the ability of superhydrophobic property to avoid getting wet by the surrounding water (i.e., Lotus effect). Inspired by the surface topographies of lotus leaves, the artificial superhydrophobic surfaces were developed using various micro- and nanoengineering. Here, we propose new platforms that can control hydrophilic and hydrophobic property of surfaces by mimicking micro- and nanosurfaces of various natural leaves such as common camellia, hosta plantaginea, and lotus. Using capillary force lithography technology and polymers in combination with biomimetic design principle, the unique micro- and nanostructures mimicking natural surfaces of common camellia, hosta plantaginea, and lotus were designed and fabricated. We also demonstrated that the replicated polymeric surfaces had different hydrophilic and hydrophobic properties according to the mimicking the natural leaf surfaces, which could be used as a simple, but powerful methodology for design and fabrication of controlled hydrophilic and hydrophobic platforms for various applications in the field of agriculture and biological engineering.

건축용 내외장재로 사용되는 도자타일은 최근에 오염 방지 기능에 대한 시장의 수요에 따라, $TiO_2$ 코팅을 통한 친수성(hydrophilic property) 표면개발 연구와 더불어 표면에서 물방울의 흐름성을 향상시켜 오염물질을 제거하는 소수성(hydrophobic property) 표면을 갖는 도자타일에 대한 연구가 진행되고 있다. 특히 추가적인 코팅 공정 적용 없이 $1000^{\circ}C$ 이상의 소결 과정을 통해서 소수성을 갖으며, 기존 도자타일의 기계적 물성의 저하가 나타나지 않는 표면유약의 개발이 매우 중요하다. 본 연구에서는 상용화 도자타일의 표면유약에 조성에 구리 분말을 첨가하여 기존 소결 공정을 적용하고, 추가 코팅 공정 없이 소수성 도자타일을 제작하고 표면유약의 두께에 따른 접촉각 특성 변화를 관찰하였다. 구리 분말이 첨가되지 않은 도자타일의 표면 접촉각은 $25^{\circ}$로 친수성을 보이는 반면에 구리 분말이 첨가된 표면유약이 $150{\mu}m$ 두께인 경우에 접촉각이 $109^{\circ}$까지 증가하는 것을 확인하였다. 이와 같은 구리 분말이 첨가된 표면유약의 우수한 소수성 발현은 유약 표면에서 구리 입자의 세포 구조(cellular structure) 분포에 의한 것으로 확인되었다. 또한 개발된 소수성 도자타일의 기계적 물성(꺽임강도, 내화학성, 내마모성, 내동해성)은 기존 도자타일과 거의 동일하고 'KS L 1001 도자타일'의 기준을 만족하는 결과를 얻을 수 있었다.

The buffer layer was spin-coated on the dielectric layer of OTFTs to introduce the hydrophobicity for enhancing the device performance. this functional layer contains the water-proof ingredient to reduce the surface energy and more importantly, does not harm the dielectric property of the dielectric layer. With the help of proposed hydrophobic layer, the transistor showed dramatic improvement at electrical performance which was almost 20 times higher mobility compared to the non-treated case. And on/off ratio was also guaranteed as $10^{5{\sim}6}$.

Purpose: The purpose of this study is to evaluate failure characteristic and mechanism of four commercial water-repellent coatings for elevated temperature machinery applications. Method: Thermal degradation was performed for up to 64 thermal cycles. 1 cycle consists of 15 minute holding at 523K under 300rpm revolution and 15 minute-natural cooling. Contact angle was measured and microstructure of the coating layer was observed by using a scanning electron microscope. Results: Four kinds of commercial repellent coating showed hydrophobic or super-hydrophobic property implying that all coatings are suitable for room temperature application. Contact angle of three kinds of commercial coatings decreased rapidly after thermal exposure, while only one specimen having hydrophobic surface showed extremely slow degradation. Conclusion: Observed decrease in contact angle of the coatings were attributed to formation of macro-sized pores and disappearance of micro-protrusion during thermal exposure. Optimum water-repellent coating needs to be selected under the consideration of initial contact angle as sell as service temperature.

Stiction in microelectromechanical systems (MEMS) has been a major failure mechanism. Especially, in RF MEMS switches, moving parts often suffered in-use and release related stiction problems. Some materials and methods have been used to prevent this problem. Diamond-like carbon (DLC) has not only been used as a protective material owing to its good mechanical properties but also has been used as a hydrophobic material. Its properties could be controlled by post annealing treatment in various conditions. We synthesized DLC films using a radio frequency plasma enhanced chemical vapor deposition (RF PECVD) method on silicon substrates using methane ($CH_4$) and hydrogen ($H_2$) gas. Then, the change of the hydrophobic property of the films was investigated undervarious annealing temperatures in nitrogen and in oxygen ambient. The films, that were annealed above $700^{\circ}C$ in nitrogen ambient, showed a high contact angle of water (> $90^{\circ}$) even though their mechanical property was sacrificed to some degree. The structural variation and the changes of the hydrophobic and mechanical properties of the DLC films were analyzed by Raman spectrum, contact angle measurement, surface profiler, and a nanoindentation test.

Super-hydrophobic surfaces showed that contact angle of water was higher than 140 degrees. That surface could be made several methods such as Carbon nano tubes grown vertically, PDMS asperities arrays, hydrophobic fractal surfaces, and self assembled monolayers coated by CVD and so on. However, we fabricated super-hydrophobic surfaces with plasma treatments which were very cost efficient processes. Their surfaces were characterized by static contact angles, advancing, receding, and stability against UV irradiation. Optimal surfaces showed static contact angles were higher than 150 degrees. Super-hydrophobic property was remained after UV irradiation for one week.

본 논문에서는 해수에 잠겨있는 물체표면의 물리적 성질과 생물오손현상 간의 상관관계를 관찰하기 위하여 생물오손에 미치는 소수성(hydrophobic) 표면의 효과에 대해 실험해석을 수행하였다. 시편으로서, 일반알루미늄, 소수성표면을 가진 알루미늄, 친수성(hydrophilic)표면을 가진 알루미늄 등 세 종류를 사용하였으며, 단, 소수성시편의 경우, AAO(Anodic Aluminum Oxide)기법으로 제작한 것과 HDFS(heptadecafluoro-1,1,2,2,-tetrahydrodecyltricholorosilane)코팅처리하여 제작한 것, 두 종류를 사용하였다. 세 종류, 네 개의 시편에서 확인된 생물오손정도는 중장기적인 면에서는 시편 간에 큰 차이가 없지만, 오손초기에는 괄목할 만한 차이가 관찰되었다. 생물 부착물의 두께가 소수성표면의 미세돌기 높이에 다다를 때 까지는 소수성표면의 오손지연효과가 현저하게 나타나나, 일단 이를 초과하면 소수성표면의 오손방지효과는 소멸됨을 확인하였다.
