Natural fiber henequen/unsaturated polyester (UPE) composites were fabricated by means of a compression molding technique using chopped henequen fibers treated at various electron beam (EB) dosages. The interfacial shear strength (IFSS), dynamic mechanical properties, and thermal expansion behavior were investigated through a single fiber microbonding test, fractographic observation, dynamic mechanical analysis, and thermomechanical analysis, respectively. The results indicated that the interfacial and dynamic mechanical properties significantly depended on the level of the EB treatment irradiated onto the henequen fiber surfaces. The effect of EB treatment on the IFSS, storage modulus and fracture surface of the henequen/UPE composites agreed with each other. The results of this study also suggested that the modification of henequen fiber surfaces at 10 kGy EB is the most effective for improving the interfacial properties of the henequen/UPE composites.

In this work, Organic Light Emitting Diodes using Aluminum-Oxynitride as a hole-injecting interfacial have been fabricated. This interfacial layer is inserted at the ITO/N,NV-diphenyl-N, NV-bis(3-methylphenyl)-1,1V-diphenyl-4,4V-diamine (TPD) interface. The brightness and efficiency of the device with the AION film is higher than that of the device without it. The enhancements are attributed to an improved balance of hole and electron injections due to the energy level realignment and the change in carrier tunneling probability by the interfacial layer.

3-ply Mg/Al/STS clad-metal was fabricated by the roll bonding process. An interfacial reaction layer was formed at the Mg/Al interface at and above $300^{\circ}C$ whereas no interfacial reaction layer was observed up to $400^{\circ}C$. The effect of the interfacial reaction layer on the mechanical and fracture properties in clad metals after heat treatments were investigated The chemical compositions were analyzed at the Mg/Al interface by an Energy dispersive X-ray analysis (EDX). A tension test was performed to examine the interfacial cracking properties. The Mg layer fractured first, causing a sudden drop of the stress and Al/STS layer continued to deform until the final fracture. Periodic cracks and crack propagation was observed at the reaction layer between Mg and Al.

Light soaking (LS) stability in polymer solar cells (PSCs) has always been a challenge to achieve due to unstable photoactive layer-electrode interface. Especially, the electron transport layer (ETL) and photoactive layer interface limits the LS stability of PSCs. Herein, we have modified the most commonly used and robust zinc oxide (ZnO) ETL-interface using an organic dye molecule and a co-adsorbent. Power conversion efficiencies have been slightly improved but when these PSCs were subjected to long term LS stability chamber, equipped with heat and humidity (45℃ and 85% relative humidity), an outstanding stability in the case of ZnO/dye+co-adsorbent ETL containing devices have been achieved. The enhanced LS stability occurred due to the suppressed interfacial defects and robust contact between the ZnO and photoactive layer. Current density as well as fill factors have been retained after LS with the modified ETL as compared to un-modified ETL, owing to their higher charge collection efficiencies which originated from higher electron mobilities. Moreover, the existence of less traps (as observed from light intensity-open circuit voltage measurements and dark currents at -2V) are also found to be one of the reasons for enhanced LS stability in the current study. We conclude that the mitigation ETL-surface traps using an organic dye with a co-adsorbent is an effective and robust approach to enhance the LS stability in PSCs.

In this paper, the joining characteristics of GDC-LSM ceramics with Crofer 22 APU metal alloys was investigated at different brazing temperatures and holding times by reactive air brazing. Brazing was performed using Ag-10 wt% CuO filler, at three different temperatures (1000, 1050, and 1100℃ for 30 minutes) as well as for three different holding times (10, 30, and 60 minutes at 1050℃). The interfacial microstructures were examined by scanning electron microscopy and the joining strengths were assessed by measuring shear strengths at room temperature. The results show that with increasing brazing temperature and holding time, joint microstructure changed obviously and shear strength was decreased. Shear strength varied from a maximum of 100±6 MPa to a minimum of 18±5 MPa, depending on the brazing conditions. These changes were attributed to an increase in the thickness of the oxide layer at the filler/metal alloy interface.

차세대 반도체의 초미세 Cu 배선 확산방지층 적용을 위해 원자층증착법(atomic layer deposition, ALD) 공정을 이용하여 증착한 RuAlO 확산방지층과 Cu 박막 계면의 계면접착에너지를 정량적으로 측정하였고, 환경 신뢰성 평가를 수행하였다. 접합 직후 4점굽힘시험으로 평가된 계면접착에너지는 약 $7.60J/m^2$으로 측정되었다. $85^{\circ}C$/85% 상대습도의 고온고습조건에서 500시간이 지난 후 측정된 계면접착에너지는 $5.65J/m^2$로 감소하였으나, $200^{\circ}C$에서 500시간 동안 후속 열처리한 후에는 $24.05J/m^2$으로 계면접착에너지가 크게 증가한 것으로 평가되었다. 4점굽힘시험 후 박리된 계면은 접합 직후와 고온고습조건의 시편의 경우 RuAlO/$SiO_2$ 계면이었고, 500시간 후속 열처리 조건에서는 Cu/RuAlO 계면인 것으로 확인되었다. X-선 광전자 분광법 분석 결과, 고온고습조건에서는 흡습으로 인하여 강한 Al-O-Si 계면 결합이 부분적으로 분리되어 계면접착에너지가 약간 낮아진 반면, 적절한 후속 열처리 조건에서는 효과적인 산소의 계면 유입으로 인하여 강한 Al-O-Si 결합이 크게 증가하여 계면접착에너지도 크게 증가한 것으로 판단된다. 따라서, ALD Ru 확산방지층에 비해 ALD RuAlO 확산방지층은 동시에 Cu 씨앗층 역할을 하면서도 전기적 및 기계적 신뢰성이 우수할 것으로 판단된다.

비메모리 반도체 미세 Cu배선의 전기적 신뢰성 향상을 위해 SiN_x 피복층(capping layer)과 Cu 배선 사이 50 nm 두께의 Co 박막층 삽입이 계면 신뢰성에 미치는 영향을 double-cantilever beam (DCB) 접착력 측정법으로 평가하였다. DCB 평가 결과 SiN_x/Cu 구조는 계면접착에너지가 0.90 J/㎡이었으나 SiN_x/Co/Cu 구조에서는 9.59 J/㎡으로 SiN_x/Cu 구조보다 약 10배 높게 측정되었다. 대기중에서 200℃, 24시간 동안 후속 열처리 진행한 결과 SiN_x/Cu 구조는 0.93 J/㎡으로 계면접착에너지의 변화가 거의 없는 것으로 확인되었으나 SiN_x/Co/Cu 구조에서는 2.41 J/㎡으로 열처리 전보다 크게 감소한 것을 확인하였다. X-선 광전자 분광법 분석 결과 SiN_x/Cu 도금층 사이에 Co를 증착 시킴으로써 SiN_x/Co 계면에 CoSi₂ 반응층이 형성되어 SiN_x/Co/Cu 구조의 계면접착에너지가 매우 높은 것으로 판단된다. 또한 대기중 고온에서 장시간 후속 열처리에 의해 SiN_x/Co 계면에 지속적으로 유입된 산소로 인한 Co 산화막 형성이 계면접착에너지 저하의 주요인으로 판단된다.

In the present study, the principle of minimum energy is employed to configure the shape of rivulet flowing down an inclined surface. The profile of laminar rivulet is determined by numerical integration. The maximum center thickness, which corresponds to the minimum thickness of falling film, is found to exist regardless of liquid flow rate and is compared with the analytical and experimental data. At small liquid flow rate the center thickness of rivulet and its width increase almost linearly with flow rate. Once the center thickness of rivulet becomes very close to its maximum value, its growth rate retards abruptly. However the width of rivulet increases proportionally to the liquid flow rate and most part of its free surface is as flat as that of stable film. The growth rate of rivulet thickness with respect to liquid flow rate becomes larger at bigger contact angle. The width of rivulet increases rapidly with its flow rate especially at small contact angle, As the liquid-vapor interfacial shear stress increases, the center thickness of rivulet decreases with its flow rate, which is remarkable at small contact angle. However the effect of interfacial shear stress on the width of rivulet is almost negligible.

Interfacial cracks between an isotropic and orthotropic material, subjected to static far field tensile loading are analyzed using the technique of photoelasticity. The fracture parameters are extracted from the full-field isochromatic data and the same are compared with that obtained using boundary collocation method. Dynamic Photoelasticity combined with high-speed digital photography is employed for capturing the isochromatics in the case of propagating interfacial cracks. The normalized stress intensity factors for static crack is greater when $\alpha=90^{\circ}C$ (fibers perpendicular to the interface) than when $\alpha=0^{\circ}C$ (fiber parallel to the interface) and those when $\alpha=90^{\circ}C$ are similar to ones of isotropic material. The dynamic stress intensity factors for interfacial propagating crack are greater when $\alpha=0^{\circ}C$ than $\alpha=90^{\circ}C$. The relationship between complex dynamic stress intensity factor $|K_D|$ and crack speed C is similar to that for isotropic homogeneous materials, the rate of increase of energy release rate G or $|K_D|$ with crack speed is not as drastic as that reported for homogeneous materials.
