In-Sn-Zn-O 박막을 2개의 케소드(DC, RF)를 이용해magnetron co-sputtering법으로 polycarbonate (PC)기판위에 성막하였다. ITO와 ZnO 타겟은 각각 DC와 RF power supply에 의해 스퍼터 되었다. ISZO 박막의 가장 낮은 비저항은 RF power 55W 일 때 얻을 수 있었고, 이것은 케리어 밀도의 증가에 의한 것이라 생각되어 진다.

The thermal degradation of polymethyl methacrylate(PMMA) blend namely polymethyl methacrylate-polycarbonate(PMMA-PC) blend and polymethyl methacrylate-polystyrene(PMMA-PS) blend were carried out by isothermal method under air at several heating temperature from 220 to $270^{\circ}C$. Molecular weight changes during the thermal decomposition were monitored by means of the viscosity average molecular weight($\bar{M}v$). The viscosity average molecular weight was determined by Gel Permeation Chromatography(GPC). The dominant process in the degradation of PMMA-PC and PMMA-PS blend were main chain scission randomly due to weak links that may be distributed along the polymer backbone and the initial rate which the bonds are broken is not sustained. The infra-red spectra of degraded PMMA-PS blend show that the presence of aromatic ketone band at $1685cm^{-1}$. However, the infra-red spectra of degraded PMMA-PC blend show that the presence of hydroperoxide band at $3450cm^{-1}$. Thus indicating that the weak links are attacked by oxygen from the air and produce hydroperoxide or ketone. The activation energies of PMMA-PC blend and PMMA-PS blend were 18.2 and 17.9 Kcal/mol, respectively.

A Study has been made of surface modification of various polymers by ion implantation to change the optical transmittance property at ultraviolet ray (UV, $200\sim400nm$). The substrates were PC (Polycarbonate), PET(Polyethyleneteraphtalate) and PP (Polypropylene). The effects of ion implantation on the change of optical transmittance were investigated in relation to ion species, implantation energies and ion fluences. The N, Ar, Kr, Xe ion implantation performed at ion energies from 20 to 50keV. The fluences ranged from $5\times10^{15}$ to $7\times10^{16}ions/cm^2$. UV/Vis transmittance spectroscopy, FT-IR and XPS were used to investigate optical transmittance, chemical structure and surface chemical state of irradiated polymer. Surface color was changed from the yellow to the dark brown and the transmittance of UV ray in the range UV-A($320\sim400nm$) decreased more than 80% after ion implantation.

The optical diffuser for direct-lit LED backlight unit was prepared by using extrusion compounding followed by thermoforming process. Poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA) with superior optical characteristics and polycarbonate (PC) with good thermal property were used as base resins, and crosslinked polystyrene (PS) and PMMA beads as diffusing agents were incorporated into resin matrix to derive light scattering and diffusing action. In the compounded plate, the diffusing beads were observed to be dispersed uniformly and distinctly in the continuous phase. The inclusion of polymeric beads up to 3 wt% substantially enhanced the optical characteristics such as luminance, luminance uniformity, haze for the diffuser. Two different diffusers of PC and PMMA-based compound with various compositions were compared in terms of measured optical, thermal, and mechanical properties, which would be expected to be utilized for the industrial application of LED backlight unit.

Due to the depletion of fossil oil and the increasing oil price, bio-plastic is currently topical. Bio-based plastics are synthesized from plant resources, unlike conventional petroleum-based counterparts. Therefore, the former minimizes global warming and reduces carbon dioxide emission. Fossil polycarbonate (PC)has good mechanical and optical properties, but its synthesis requires bisphenol-A and phosgene gas, which are toxic to humans. To address these problems, the fused deposition 3D printing process (hereafter, FDM) is studied using environmentally-friendly and high-strength bio-based PC. A comparisonof the environmental impact and tensile strength of fossil PC versus bio-based PC is presented herein, demonstrating that bio-based PC is more environmentally-friendly with higher tensile strength than fossil PC. The advantages of bio-based PC are applied in the FDM process for the fabrication of environmentally-friendly baby toys.

Acrylonitrile-Butadiene-Styrene (ABS), polycarbonate (PC) and their alloys are an important class of engineering thermoplastics that are widely used for automotive industry, computer and equipment housings. For the process of recycling mixtures of ABS and PC, it is desirable to know how sensitive the blend properties are to changes in compositions. It was for this reason that blends of virgin ABS and virgin PC at five different compositions, namely, $15\%,\;30\%,\;50\%,\;70%$ and $85\%$ by weight of ABS were prepared and characterised by rheological and mechanical measurements. Rheological properties of these blends in steady, oscillatory and transient step shear and mechanical properties, namely, tensile strength, elongation-at-break and Izod impact strength are reported. The results show that PC behaves in a relatively Newtonian manner, but ABS exhibits significant shear thinning. The ABS-rich blends show a trend that is similar to that of ABS, while PC-rich blends, namely $0\%$ and $15\%$, exhibit a nearly Newtonian behaviour. However, at a fixed shear rate or frequency, the steady shear or the dynamic viscosity varied respectively in a non-mono-tonic manner with composition. Except for $15\%$ blend, the viscosities of other blends fall into a narrow band indicating a wide-operation window of varying blend ratio. The blends exhibited a lower viscosity than either of the two pure components. The other noticeable feature was that the blends at $70\%$ and $85\%$ ABS content had a higher G' than pure ABS, indicating an enhancement of elastic effect. The tensile yield strength of the blends followed the 'rule of mixtures' showing a decreasing value with the increase of ABS content in PC. However, the elongation-at-break and the impact strength did not appear to obey this 'rule of mixtures,' which suggests that morphology of the blends also plays a significant role in determining the properties. Indeed, scanning electron micrographs of the fracture surfaces of the different blends validate this hypothesis, and the $15\%$ blend is seen to have the most distinct morphology and correspondingly different behaviour and properties.

In the present research, a ultra-precision diamond cutting of thermo-plastic materials, polycarbonate (PC) and cyclic olefin polymer (COC), is carried out by applying a method named ultrasonic elliptical vibration cutting developed by the authors. It is experimentally proved that good optical surfaces are obtained by applying the elliptical vibration cutting in cases of machining of flat surfaces and grooves as compared with the conventional diamond cutting. The maximum surface roughness in peak to valley value obtained is less than 60 nm and 20 nm for PC and ZEONEX, respectively.

이온빔 스퍼터를 사용하여 PC기판위에 $TiO_2$ 박막을 증착한 후 광학적 특성을 고찰하였다. 증착 전 어시스트 이온건을 사용하여 아르곤 플라즈마로 표면처리를 하였으며, Ti 박막을 $300{\AA}$정도로 증착한 다음, 그 위에 산소 반응스퍼터링 기법을 사용함으로써 $TiO_2$박막을 증착하였다. 표면처리에 의한 기판의 표면개질로 TI 버퍼층과의 막부착력을 높이고, 아르곤 산소의 분압비를 1로 고정하였을 때, $TiO_2$박막의 두께에 따라서 박막의 색상이 변화는 것을 관찰할 수 있었다. 또한, 아르곤과 산소의 분압 변화에 대한 의존성은 $TiO_2$박막의 색상과 투과율과 같은 광학적인 성질에 영향을 미치는 것을 알 수 있었다.

시설원예의 현대화에 따른 각종 피복자재의 도입ㆍ개발과 시설재배 면적의 급속한 증가로 인해 그에 따른 피복자재의 광환경 특성이 검토되지 않고 피복자재가 이용되고 있다. 따라서 본 연구는 연질필름중 가장 피복재배면적이 많은 PE(Polyethylene)필름과 경질판PC (Polycarbonate), PET (Poyethylene terephthalate), 유리 피복자재의 광환경 개선을 위한 기초 연구로 실시하였다. 1. 피복자재별 광투과율은 PE가 약 80%, 유리가 약 90%로, 유리 온실은 완공후 4년이하 경과했음에도 약 5개월 된 PE 보다 광투과율이 높았다. 2. 피복자재별 광반사율은 PE가 가장 높은 약 3% 였고 PC>PET>유리의 순으로 나타났다. 3. 피복자재별 광흡수율은 PE는 전파장에 걸쳐 고루 흡수되었으나 PC, PET는 자외선의 흡수가 많았다. 4. 피복자재별 토마토 군락내 광분포에서 제 1과방의 광량은 시설내 투과일사의 약 15%정도였다. 5. 피복자재별 토마토엽의 증산속도는 PE가 다소 낮았으나 처리간 큰 차이는 없었다. 6. 수경재배의 토마토의 광합성속도가 토경재배 보다 낮았다.

This study compared the radiation transmission and image quality of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polycarbonate (PC), and carbon, which are common components of the compression plates currently used during breast imaging. In addition to measuring the transmitted dose and the intensity without the use of a compression paddle, the four different compression paddles were evaluated according to the material and thickness of each paddle. Radiation transmittance, maximum intensity, and plot profile type w ere all evaluated for each material, and for each factor evaluated the follow ing order w as noted, from best to w orst: carbon 4 mm, PMMA 3 mm, PMMA 4 mm, and PC 4 mm. It is necessary to study a variety of materials and thicknesses in order to find the optimal combination of material and thickness, because not only does the material have a large influence in reducing the radiation exposure during mammography, but the thickness of the compression plate also has a great influence.
